*Amelia smiles and lays on the bed*

*Thinks about surprising Yarrick in the shower*

*Goes against it and falls asleep*

*Ciri walks into the med bay, then Tona's room.*

Ciri: Tona? How you feeling?

Most people haven't. They keep to themselves, and have even killed people that trespassed near their camps. They don't like outsiders.

*smiles*

I don't get to have this much fun very often. Give me another.


*Santiago nods*

Santi: At least you got to taste it for yourself. That's gotta count for something.

*Santiago smiles and stands up*

Santi: So what do you want to do now?

*To Ciri*
Awful

[In shower, gently banging head against wall in frustration]
[Eventually relaxes as the cold water takes effect] [Breathes easier]
[Gets dried apart from hair] [Goes over to bed and shakes cold wet hair all over Amelia]
That, is part of your reward for taking the piss!

[Benny looks at Tona] You're strong, you'll get through this. And if you feel yourself slipping, instead of restraining you, Kimmy can help you feel calmer, or put you to sleep until it wears off. [Kimmy nods]

I am one of their kind though. They probably come from my race. I don't see why'd they say for me to not to say hi.

*Smiles and pours Kara another drink*

You're holding your liquor pretty well.

*Hiccups and giggles*

*Joalia smiles and kisses Santiago*

Joal: Whatever you want.

~

*Amelia jumps and pulls Yarrick down*

Amy: You're going to regret that!

*Wraps legs around his waist and twists*

*Suddenly on top*

*Grins*

Ciri: Well, you seem well enough.

*She walks over examining Tona's eyes.*

Ciri: Just want to make sure...

I can still feel the psychosis inside me, waiting. I'm not going to devolve into one of those..... Things..... But the mental damage it caused was permanent I think.
*Ciri notices that my eyes are bloodshot and tired looking, but still human*

*smiles and starts giggling too after taking the shot*

Thank you. And they'd probably get along with you. At least give you directions to the nearest town or something.


*Santiago smiles and kisses Joalia back*

Santi: (I can think of something we can do.)

...! [Starts coughing and can't stop once flipped] [Puts hand on Amelia's shoulder and looks apologetic]
[Passes out after a particularly raw sounding cough] [Breathes easier shortly after]

Why'd I want to go to back to town? I'd be staying with my own kind!

*Giggles and pours another round*

Bottoms up! Just how I like sex!

*Downs the next round and hiccups again*

~

Joal: (I can too. I can see what you are thinking, remember?)

~

*Amelia looks panicked but relaxes after he starts breathing better*

*Lies back down and goes back to sleep*

*Ciri nods.*

Ciri: I am sorry... I have nothing for that, speak with Cal or Nicholas... Maybe V. Get some rest, Tona.

I'll try. Thank you Ciri.
*I give her a tired hug with one arm*

*Cal shakes his head sadly as Ciri and Wk*
Cal: We don't have anything as far as I know... I'm sorry.

*Ciri returns the hug.*

Ciri: You will be fine, have no fear.

*I look fearfully at Cal*
So I'm doomed to a broken mind forever?

*giggles again*

Just saying they're... they're friendly when they wanna be. An' once you're feelin' better, we can do something that's more fun for you too.

*winks and starts giggling again*



*Santiago hugs Joalia*

Santi: (So, would you like to?)

Cal: I'm afraid so... I don't know what else I can do... *Looks frustrated at his lack of helpfulness*

I can no longer fight, the risk of having a mental break is too high. I have nothing now.
*looks utterly distraught*

Cal: That's not true! I thought you were a mechanic? And you've still got friends here!

That doesn't change the fact that my mind has been warped. Can I repair an engine knowing that I might snap at any moment

Ciri: It's okay Tona, you will be fine... speak to V he is good with working on the mind..

*Grins and pours more tequila*

Sorry hun, I only feth sobers, unless m'drunk, then iss cool...

*Pours drink down mouth and giggles*

*Leans in towards Kara*

~

Joal: (Only if you want. I am always okay with that.)

*Pulls self up and kisses Santiago*

Cal: I don't see why you'd snap at any moment... I mean unless you get frustrated at a engine or something...
Look, I can offer some Psychiatry or Therapy but that's about it. We Elders don't mess with the mind. It's too dangerous for us

You've obviously never been a mechanic for Guardsmen. Stuff is CONSTANTLY being broken

Cal: True, but that's why mechanics exist right?

I don't exist to fix the treads on a Taurox because some idiot decided to try and do a wheelie with it

Ciri to Tona: Maybe take it easy for awhile, don't think of work...

Cal: Okay true, I apologize. But until Horus gets back someone's got to do it...
*Looks worried for his friend*

*I sit down with a shudder and begin taking off my armor and weapons*
*another Trooper runs by and takes the items back to the armory*
*I walk into a changing room and emerge a few minutes later in a mechanics jumpsuit*
*I still have a laspistol and my silver knife*
This is me now.
