...bound? I thought marriage was a choice of love? [Looks concerned] Then there's the part where Tzeentch told me you were gambled like a poker chip. I'm not... I'm not incapable of understanding that you love someone else.
It hurts like hell, but it...
But I don't feel your soul should be owned by anyone but you. There must be something I can do to help that. To say thank you.

*covers self* *maria*
I have 4 if you must know. Class v advanced maintenance mechadrites.... My backs mostly metal and scarring...

My entire back is mechanical augment and I'm still hurting from the injury years later... Shuttle crash.. *hands sugar*

Can you leave me in peace now... *goes off unhappy*
Its bad enough being nigh crippled and retired from combat duty..

Ooc updated to fit gardens post

*Scowls at V*

Boro: See what you've done now? Thanks. A lot. Now get out.

*Amelia shakes her head*

I was bound, practically in ethereal chains for over 1 hundred years. Over that time, I was given the option to either marry my owner, and be given more freedom, or sit cooped up in there, with only the company of my own shadow, which I couldn't even see. It took a few decades, but I eventually said yes...And I've been freeish ever since...

*Looks sad*

Whats worse is that I don't even remember anyone except Magnus...I don't know what Tzeentch even looks like, can't even remember the name of my Lord of Change friend...Can't remember the man I supposedly loved before I was bound here again...I remember only Magnus...And thus where my loyalties lie. I wish you could help me, and I wish I could help you...But I don't see it happening unless you want to pick a fight with a Daemon Primarch...

*Knight goes over to Maria*

*Holds her hands*

Boro: You're perfect, just the way you are. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. *Lifts up her hands and kisses them* Want me to go crack his skull?

OOC I didn't notice my avatar until I posted this post, so sorry if I confused anyone.

*smiles with slightly teary eyes*
No, he,s a idiot but ...won,t change anything..

*sits down* I was wounded badly, took months to recover even at mars primus. One of best Medicare centres. Very best.

I literally am always in pain... Low but always. I was retired as medicaly unfit. Became a doctor to help people best I could...

*looks sad..* minus all that metal.. Id be unable to feel from waist down... Nerves are wrecked..

*throws a plushy carnifax at v as he leaves*

That's... Horrendous. [Tilts head] And I've certainly done stupider things.
Before I met you, I was... Very different. I was just angry all of the time. I lived for battle, the Emperor, and nothing else.
I could never have had this conversation. Being honest, being happy... You showed me how to do both.
Hell, there was even a day I spent every few minutes being tasered by my own bionics because you managed to make me cry for the first time in decades.

[Thinks for a while] Souls.. For a time, when you touched folk as a new daemon, you absorbed fractions of their souls. Can you still feel those if you try? Morrigan... Marla? You took a considerable amount from me, though it did come back. I just want you to know that you're loved. I'm sure they'd have that in there.

[Thinks again] Would it have to be a fight? There are things I'm considerably better at, and he seems the proud type.
[Sees eyebrow]
Not those things. Things you do outside the house.

*Knight sits down next to her*

Boro: But you can feel, and you do help people. Often, I might add. I know you're in pain, but look at what would happen if you didn't have the mechanics?

*Holds her close*

*Amelia ponders*

*Stands up and walks to a door*

Come.

*Opens the door and walks down a set of very dark stairs*

OOC Caught between a sad Maria and a confused Yarrick. Wheres a rock and a hard place when you need it?

I'm actually just waiting for ZK to pop up and tomahawk someone.

[Follows] It was Frank, by the way. He helped me find you.
...it's been a strange day.

Ooc: I could also have Benny talk to Death since they left the tank, but I don't want to give you a headache.

OOC Fethit, do it. I need to think, so go ahead.

Bic *Walks down to a barely lit room*

*Breathing sharpens slightly*

*Points to the soul amulet, which is broken into a thousand tiny pieces scattered around the floor*

That's where the souls were. Now they're somewhere in the warp. I guess with the souls, it took away my memories of most of them, and the rest were forgotten in time...Huh...I haven't been down here for three hundred years...

*smiles* yes I do, and I can feel but still does not change the hurt.
It just gets to me at times....people make me feel a mutant... When they react...

Your a good egg...
*leans over and pulls over a photo*
There's a pre crash me... Slightly taller I might add..
Just after the verdas complience we retook the capital that morning...

There's Marla, and the rest of my squad, *points name ms out with a mechadrite*

... I know.... Bad man gone ... *mechadrite nods*
See there not just tools.

Lets go see the castle! Chear me up!
Ooc Il chear up Maria... Go off to castle

*Knight furrows eyebrows*

Boro: You, are most certainly not a mutant. If anything, you're closer to your heritage than ever. Oh come here... *Hugs Maria and looks at the confused Mechadrites* Yes, you can join. *Gets hugged by the mechadrites* I will love all of you, no matter what people think of you, I know the truth. Just don't ever give in, and start believing what you here people call you.

*Looks at the photo*

Boro: Huh, so you were taller than Marla at one point...Ha...

*Seems slightly startled by Maria's outburst*

Boro: Oh, yes, sure, but I think we should probably get dressed. I don't want to share you with anybody elses eyes but my own.

OOC This works.

[Sits on bottom step] Well, damn... Why is it smashed?
[Scratches head] I wish Kimmy were here, she's far better at thinking these things through than I am.. And theft, admittedly.


[Benny walks timidly over to Death] We're finished looking at the room, and I... I accept the curse transfer. When you're not busy.

*Death stirs on the floor*

Death: Do I look busy? No. So, is your partner willing to take upon the burden again?

*Amelia looks down at the amulet and kicks it*

I annoyed Magnus one day...

*Maria happily hugs with her mechadrites joining in*

*laughs* see, machines are not just metal. That's the true art of Mars.

*digs in cupboard and pulls on bodysuit *
*casually putting on armour as mechdrites rapidly tidy up her hair and make up before retracting into back*

That's why I love em.
*goes into loving room to find sword and pistol*
Better, now I'm ready...
*is ready faster than knight with there help*

*amulet fragments echo with previous souls imprint and imply there not fully gone*

Wait a minute. Couldn't I just get a Servitor to put the curse on? Why would we need all this drama?

*Marla shouts*
Verdai... They need to do of own free will... We tried a skitari but they need feelings and free will.

*Knight hastily puts on chain-mail*

Boro: Ah feth it, I don't need full armour for a stroll.

*Straps on sword and kisses Maria's hand*

Boro: Just remember what I said.

*Death looks at V*

Because Slaanesh has no need for emotionless beings. She wants sex, she gets things that can sex.

OOC I haven't thought this far with 2 of the 3 conversations I'm in currently

*door unlocks*
*steps out of the side room fully healed and without any duct tape*

We talking about curses now?

*maria smiles and jogs out*

*offers hand* come on i want to see my castle..
i need a distraction.. *heads off to castle site*

*happily balences along several fallen trees *

*Knight walks beside Maria*

Boro: Careful now, don't want you to fall now do we? Not that I won't be there to catch you regardless, but that's beside the point.

That's... Not okay. [Stands up and very carefully hugs Amelia] People are allowed to be annoying. [Steps back] Sorry, you just looked sad.
[Looks around] What is this room for?


[Bridget nods] I still accept. We went to look at a special place, is all. I'm ready.

*Smacks Death across the face*
Again with that idiotic misconception! Slaanesh feeds on any sort of excess, it cares for nothing but excess and pure excess! I could eat 30 bloody bagels and that would empower Slaanesh due to being excessive eating!
Gluttony, over-stimulation, excessive pride, all of those, along many other things empower Slaanesh! Not this "Oh he/she likes sex and drugs ell oh ell" crap.
The martial pride of a chaste, emotionless hero... still empowers Slaanesh.

OOC: The first time in the history of ever that Ver has completely flipped his gak.

*Maria goes into a full handstand then several flips before a perfect landing*

i may be damaged, but im still good.
marlas better, but she's more flexible.

*Marla looks on*
so V has a temper after all...

[Bridget holds back Verviedi] It's okay. It's not a sacrifice. I liked being a Daemonette after the Wolves freed me. I was like a small superhero, just more stylish. Benny though.. He can't be a purple commissar.
Slaanesh is also jealous. She would find a way to get her way.

*walks towards Verviedi*

I'm liking how this sounds, Slaanesh seems like my kind of guy. And what's this? You haven't flipped your gak before? Well señor, trust me when I tell you that is one of the most fun things to flip.

*Death smiles*

Death: I'm actually genuinely happy for the both of you. Just remember, that once you do this, you won't be able to go back.

*Doesn't wait for a response rips off two parts of robe*

*Ties both scraps over both Benny's eyes and Bridgets*

*Whispers to spider*

Death: Swap to transference please.

*Spider nods and fiercely rubs its fangs*

*Starts crawling down shoulder towards Benny*

*Death reaches out and grabs Benny's hand, and Bridget's hand, and forcing them together*

Death: If you feel something going up your arm...It's er...Just the spell working... *Spider continues moving up Benny's arm*

*Gets slapped*

Death: You're lucky I am in the middle of something...

*Knight continues following*

Boro: So you have demonstrated on several occasions...

*Amelia is slightly startled*

Umm...This is where I was held. *Points to a pole in the middle of the room* Chained onto that. I slept by that bed, whenever the chain was loose enough, and ate by that bench. *Points to respective places*


OOC Fml I got ninja'd by so many people...

*Attempting to calm down*
That idiotic misconception is almost as annoying as the Administratum losing a bloody Sector because their basement flooded.
*Failing at calming down*

*Death sighs*

Deaht: S'cuse me for a second...

*Turns to V*

*Waves hands and a zipper forms over V's mouth*

Death: Shhhhhh...

*Zips V's mouth shut for the time being*

*whistling cheerfully whilst frying some bacon and eggs*
*wearing a fashionable apron*

[Benny flinches] I know it's a spider. It's fine.

*Death sighs*

Death: Yes...It is...And it will bite you both, so try to not scream out and startle her.

*Spider continues down Benny's joined arm and sits on their hands*

*Bites down, piercing both Benny's skin, and Bridgets*

*Amelia picks up the largest remaining piece of the amulet*

Not even sure how to get out of here, let alone if I actually want to...
