[The butterflies are tiny mechanical insects, but not sinister] [Verviedi would recognise these from a fairly long time ago]

[Yarrick looks up] [A pleasant breeze picks up and moves the clouds slowly]

..I wonder if this area was always this way.

*Looks up and focuses*
I remember those. They dispensed opium. The second stupidest thing I've ever made.

*Marla steps into memory with a ice bluebflash and a diamond like sparkle * oh aura colours...

Hey... Hmm pretty..
This place is rather less grim.

*eyes flash and apearrs younger in dress and jewals she wears now *

So... That tower looks rather.... Silver...

It's steel and chrome... I believe it falls under "edifice".
You know... it looks like a giant version of Benny's implant.
Let's not go there. Let's check out this house first.
*Points to a cartoony-looking blue brick house*

[Laughs] I think Benny just liked them because they were pretty.. There's a theme. [Looks at flowers]

[Starts walking towards where Verviedi pointed]

*Marla looks at the secene*

Oh.. They make a path.
Look. *flowers form a line down to the tower and past the house. *

Looks like our route has been marked.... They want us tongo there.

*follows path with dress fluttering I the breeze*
Its... Nice here...

*Cal is shuddering as he follows Marla silently*

*Billy yawns and lies awake in bed happily*

*Ra goes and sits on the couch next to Leo*
Ra: Perenelle told me you wished to learn fire magic?

[Tips head] The house is made of crayon drawings?

[Knocks on door] [The door opens to reveal a living room that looks perfectly normal] [Photos of Benny and his family are on one wall, and the sofa is quite comfy looking]
Huh.

*Boran is in cloth clothing and bares none of the scars he has*

I like it here. It is more natural.

*follows after Yarrick*


*Santiago helps Joalia lift his top and he wraps his arms around her*

Santi: (The monsters that did this will be stopped one day. Nothing that evil can last forever.)

(We can only hope. I have no recollection of where they are, so finding them will be harder than stopping them.)

*Pulls off own top and goes back to kissing Santiago*

*Jordan turns over and rests arm on Billy's chest*

J: You're getting the hang of it, at least. I think I am too.

*Smiles and kisses Billy on the cheek*

J: I hope you enjoyed your birthday.

*Maiev rolls off the sofa in her sleep*

*Wakes up mid-air, about to hit the ground*

*Panic blinks into the air even higher and hits the ground*

*Laughs a bit, but stays on the ground*

*marla*

Look closer.

*the outside of the room is made of the horrors of the universe, the inside is the sanctuary *

Its symbolic... This place means shelter... The outside the darkness. The inside is the saftey.

Its bennys shelter.

*dress flutters as the door is open*
Hey... We all look younger. *smiles*

*Ciri smiles and follows after Taeria.*

-------------

*The old man is still lumbering along.*

OOC Imo Jhe, I think you should let BC make his own plot.

*Leo looks at Ra*

Leo: Yeah... Is she alright?

*Perry watches TV*

[Looks at photos] ...The Imperium really isn't the place for people like Benny or Kimmy. And yet he tries to do his best for them.

[Sits on sofa and takes hat off] [Looks frustrated]

Ra: Mmm? Oh yes she's fine. Why would you think otherwise?
*Looks down at Maiev* Are you okay? *Smiling in amusement*

*Billy smiles*
Billy: To be honest that was just about the best birthday I've ever had.

*Amelia sits beside Yarrick and puts an arm around his shoulder*

*Can't think of anything to say*

~

*Maiev nods and tries getting up*

*Looks around and chews on nothing for a few seconds*

Maiev: I need sustenance...

*Walks off to the kitchen*

~

J: Good to hear, but I would just call this a late birthday prezzie...

*Rolls over ontop of Billy and leans down*

*Bites his neck slightly and moves up closer to his lips*

*Is doing something else entirely with hand down below*

*Gasps and camera pans back*

*Sits down on a chair*
I'm fully expecting ropes to come out of the handles. This place is too happy and cozy for something not to be lurking in here.
*Gestures towards a hallway too long to actually fit in the house*
Wonder what that represents.

Ok! So there's tons of things in here!
*Taeria opens the closet and rope, ducktape, maid outfits, and other questionable items fall out*

*marla*

No.. The room is there home. Least there we can protect them from what's outside. Ad best we can.

Maria says Kimmy is a great healer.
She ain't one to hurt and be used as a weapon.

[Hugs Amelia] I guess the Terra you came from didn't do this kind of stuff to people. Though all soldiers have kinda crappy recruitment periods...

Leo: Never mind.

*Looks up at Ra*

Leo: Feth me your tall. Now lets go magic things.

*Larry walks out of his office*

Larry: Has anyone seen my Pym particle gun?

Amy: My Terra kidnapped children at a very young age, then turned them into weapons. Admittedly, that is what saved our universe, but we did more...Sinister things, without the publics knowledge...

*Suddenly looks guilty and sighs*

OOC Edited my last post also.

*Ciri looks at all the stuff, with a raised eyebrow.*

Ciri: Well... *Coughs awkwardly.* Yeah tons of funny things in here! So why does Vitani collect this stuff?

*Ciri thinks: You know the answer idiot..

--------

*Old man sits down halfway to the room, breathing hard.*

*Quetz pops his head out of the kitchen still only 20 feet long and looking annoyed about that*
Quetz: Is that what he shot me with? I think Wade had it Larry.

*Ra raises his eyebrows but says nothing*
Ra: Very well, come with me. *Walks outside into the sunshine with Leonie*


*Cal is still glancing around nervously waiting for something to go horribly wrong*

*Looks up at Ciri innocently*
I'm not sure.. she says they look good on us!
*Picks up a frilly maid's dress*
I know how to clean well... but I guess she wants me to get a job as a cleaning lady!
*Picks up some high socks*
I'll get changed!
*Goes into the bathroom*

*Larry looks at Quetz horrified*

Larry: Oh god... We are in trouble...

*Leo follows Ra*

I have gotten plenty of scars from when I was younger, Miss. They look worse than they feel.

*Santiago pulls Joalia closer and keeps kissing her*

Santi: (Their luck will run out. I'd be more than happy to see them when they fall.)

*Quetz looks even more annoyed at not being the largest creature in the room anymore*
Quetz: Yeah ya think?! Look is there any way you can change me back?

*Ciri looks wide eyed at Taeria.*

Ciri: Sure... love to see that...

*Ciri's conscious says: By the gods your a hopeless pervert..*

*She then turns utterly red.*

---------------------

*Old man pulls out a flask, and drains most of it.*
