*Billy looks around at Jordan and Morrigan*
Billy: You knew?! And you let this chump make a fool outta me like that!?
*Cal is laughing and wiping tears of laughter from his eyes*
Cal: Oh Billy, you beat Jordan's reactions by a mile

*Rolling around on the ground in laughter*

YOU SHOULDA LOOKED THE SEEN ON YOUR FACE!

*Can't think straight from laughter*

*Billy glares around then back at Cal*
Billy: Alright, how the (Censored) did you end up like this!?
*Cal explains as Billy sits there still stunned*
Billy: B-but, it just changed you back?!
Cal: Not exactly, I never used to have facial hair for one *Rubs stubble on chin and cheeks unconsciously*

*Maria sleeping away in ra,s arms after all the work. And runnning to warm of joella*

*ra finds Maria snuggled up to one of his arms*

*Maria in armour*

*Still laughing*

*Ra looks down at Maria*
Ra: Oh dear... exhausted after all that...
*Walks over to Maria repressor and squeezes in to play Maria on the bed*

*Billy stands up and sizes Cal up*
Billy: Dang...
*Looks down at own scrawniness*
Billy: You're taller than me too...
*Cal is now standing at 5'11 up from 5'8*

Ra bangs head on a low door frame and nearly trips over a giant plushy wolf and into the swimming pool*

*finds bedroom , and a 5m plushy kraken, alot of soft blankets and multiple wardrobes*

*Maria snoring softly *

*Ra carefully lays Maria down in the bed before squeezing his way out being sure to duck*
Ra: This place was not built with being's of my size in mind...

D-Don't worry Billy! You'll get buffer eventua- *Breaks into laughter again*

*Billy shakes head head and smiles*
Billy: So, this is what you used to look like?
Cal: Pretty much, my hair wasn't anywhere near this long but otherwise yeah *Silver hair is almost waist length*
Billy: And you prefer lookin' like this?
*Cal answers instantly*
Cal: Yes, I would only go back to my previous form is it was a matter of life or death for someone close to me.
*Dead serious*
Cal: I hated being like that, I don't know how Nicholas lives like this

*Billy looks down at Jordan and grins teasingly*
Billy: You ever gonna stop? I thought you were tired?

*Maria asleep and pulls blanket over before reaching out to find boro*

Sleepy.. Need.mey egg...
*cannot seem to find him*

*ra bangs head on final hatch before noticing a sign in neat lettering*
"its a tall door when your five foot four" and "what, I never knew this sign was up here"

*Sarah sees ra carry Maria in and leave*
Hey.. Hows the princess? I just saw you carrying her.

A-All worth!

*Holding stitches in side and continues laughing*

*Finishes laughing after a few more minutes and just lies there*

Heh, hehe...That was fun...

*Billy is sat cross legged waiting for Jordan's giggles to subside*

*Ra looks down at Sarah*
Ra: She's just exhausted, she wanted me to carry her over to the couch but she fell asleep mid-journey so I put her to bed.

*Sits up*

O-Okay...All done...

*Grins at Billy*

You know, I ain't tired no more, how about we go to Thoth and ask him about my head now?

*sarah*

Ok, that makes sense. She does push herself too hard some times. Il make everything right.

*goes into repressor to check and also move the cuddley wolf so many have narrowly tripped over*

Billy: Sure, c'mon. *Leads her off to the library. Thoth quickly hides his book as they enter*
Thoth: Do either of you need something or are you simply browsing?

I umm...I have something in my head, and I want it either disabled, or removed. Can ya help?

*Thoth cocks his head and clicks his beak before speaking in his clipped tones*
Thoth: IN your head? Why not simply ask Caladrius? I am certain he could resolve the problem for you without delay.
Billy: No, it's not like that, when those Necron's attacked she lost it. *Looks apologetically at Jordan* Sorry, I didn't mean to phrase it like that?
*Thoth clicks his beak twice more*
Thoth: Miss Jordan, would you be so kind as to explain?

Umm...What he said. I lost it, had a very short conversation with a voice, and then blacked out. I have no idea what happened during I was out...

Thoth: A voice you say? Please, *gestures to pair of armchairs* sit down and let us discuss this voice.
*Thoth waits until they've sat down to continue*
Thoth: Now, miss Jordan, I understand you are not humani. Is this correct? If so then what force would you assume to be speaking in your mindstate?

Umm...I don't know...It asked me things...If I wanted to activate something...I didn't know what that was, so I said no. It persisted, then eventually took over...

*Thoth taps his beak for several seconds*
Thoth: We could not risk delving into your no doubt incredibly complex programming or else we could very well end up doing more harm that healing... for now I think a firewall of sorts would be the best, I have no other recommendations at this time.

Okay...How do I do that?

*Looks somewhat hopeful and takes Billy's hand*

*Billy squeezes Jordan's hand slightly with his Automail one as Thoth blinks for several seconds then clicks his beak in annoyance*
Thoth: I don't know... it would be best to upload one of my own design... but you seem not to have any way of doing that...

Well...Think on it please...I need some sleep...

*Stands up with Billy and walks to the exit of the Library, before looking back*

Thank you Thoth...I appreciate this.

*Walks out and towards Billy's bedroom*

Can I crash at yours? I...I don't want to sleep by myself tonight...

Billy: Sure. *Yawns* I've not got much sleep since you've been gone so I probably just as tired as you are...
*Walks with Jordan to his room where is takes off his scuffed boots and climbs into bed*

*Nods and takes off outer layers of armour*

*Lies in bed with Billy and rolls ontop of him*

You haven't even kissed me since I got back...

~

*A lone figure is sitting in a stand in the bar*

*Sips some water and goes back to looking at everyone in the bar*

*Billy throws Jordan a look of mock horror then smiles ans kisses her*
Billy: There, better?

*Scatty and Aoife are bored playing darts against anyone stupid enough to challenge them*

Much.

*Returns the kiss then rolls off*

*Smiles and plays with Billy's robo-arm*

This is pretty cool...

~

*Figure doesn't move*

*A ornate dagger flies from the figures position from across the entire bar and nails the bulls-eye*

*Sip*

*Billy grins and holds it up in the air*
Billy: Watch this
*Activates the shield and comes spiraling out of the forearm*


*Aoife and Scatty look over at the figure in interest*
