**Sgt. Vanden**

M: I am Kaldorei. I come to speak with Tammuz. He is threatening the Balance of this planet.
*Speaking with authority and stuff*

**zombiekila707**

*Jake nods.*

Jake: I cry pardon, for taking you to the subject..

*He thinks.*

Jake: Whats your favorite food?

**Overlord Thraka**

*The Hammadryad looks down at Maiev from her height of 8 feet and snorts disdainfully*
Hammadryad: And why should we allow you to speak with the Watcher of the Woods?

**Sgt. Vanden**

Apples. Anything apple related. But I guess if we're talking real foods, then I guess I can stay...Lamb Roast. Or Barbecued shrimps.
*Turns to Jake*
You?

~

*Maiev smiles and tilts her head*
M: Because I will just kill you all otherwise, and find him myself.

**Overlord Thraka**

*The Hammadryad takes a step back and a look of fear flashes across her face before it regains it's usual haughty look*
HD: Of course you will... Very well, you will be allowed to see Tammuz. Follow closely lest you get lost and starve... that would be such a shame...
*She turns and begins leading Maiev through the woods*

**Sgt. Vanden**

*Maiev follows along, occasionally whispering to a tree, or stroking a branch*

**zombiekila707**

*Jake nods.*

Jake: Apples are great, and I haven't had a lamb roast for a long time..

*He thinks puffing on his cigarette.*

Jake: Honestly Gunslinger Burritos are still my personal favorite... or pancakes.. I know kinda childish.

**Sgt. Vanden**

*Groans and rubs eyes*
I got a drunk craving of pancakes now. C'mon, up you get.
*Vaults to feet and straightens top slightly*
And not very childish at all. We all can like pancakes. They were made for that, after all.

*Amelia wakes up next to Yarrick and yawns*
*Quickly scribbles down a note and attaches it to his forehead*
*Note reads "Went 4 food", b back soon. XOXO"*
*Walks out of the Baneblade and starts walking to the kitchen*

**Overlord Thraka**

*Most of the trees seem almost pleading for the fighting to end.
After several hours walking the party comes to a large clearing where several fawns are dancing with Driads while others play cheer music.
Presiding over this is a rather normal looking old mad with a long green beard and pale green skin. He looks up and frowns as the Hammadriad enters the clearing with Maiev and the others*
Tammuz: Fendal, what is this? Another messenger?

*Cal, the twins, Morrigan and Quetz are all in the kitchen eating French Toast and Sausages*

**Sgt. Vanden**

*Maiev bristles with rage and starts walking towards Tammuz without waiting for him to get an answer*
M: You will cease this now, else I will kill you where you stand, Tammuz.
*Both fists are clenched*

**zombiekila707**

*Jake rises with lightning speed.*

Jake: Really! Let me make em for you, be my treat!

*He offers a arm for balance.*

Jake: You okay to walk?

**Overlord Thraka**

*The atmosphere turns sour as the music stops and weapons come out. The Hammadryad presses a blade into Maiev's back*
HD: Just you try it
*The Green Man sits calmly, chewing on a apple*
Tammuz: Is that so? Well, why would that be?

**Sgt. Vanden**

*Nods*
Thanks.
*Takes Jake's arm and starts walking towards the kitchen*

~

*Amelia sneaks behind the twins and hugs them from behind*
Amy: Good afternoon you lot!

~

*Maiev blinks behind the Hammadryad and casually slits her throat with glaive*
M: Because the trees wish for it to stop. And you are threatening the balance of this world.

**Overlord Thraka**

*The twins jump then giggle as the Adults laugh*
Dria: Aunty Amy!
Morgan: Hi!
Morrigan: Hey Amy!

*The Hammadryad gurgles slightly, clutches at her throat and collapses in a pool of green blood
Several Goatmen run forward to attack but stop as Tammuz holds up his hand, no longer smiling*
Tammuz: Is that so? You speak of balance, well I say balance means pushing that tree-burning, innocent hunting MONSTER back to his mountain!

**zombiekila707**

*Grabs the door for her.*

Jake: Do you have any preference with your pancakes? Blueberries or chocolate chips? Or just plain?

*Jake smiles, and leads Denny to the kitchen.*

**Sgt. Vanden**

*Tilts head and thinks slightly*
Have you ever tried them with ice-cream?
*Perron goes to bed*

~

*Amelia smiles and embraces the twins again*
Amy: You two sleep well?
*Gives Morrigan a hug and whispers something pertaining to what she was doing while the twins were being watched yesterday*
*Hugs Cal and smiles innocently*

~

*Maiev is no longer smiling either, and takes a step forward*
M: You seek to overwhelm civilization and replace it with nature. Once upon a time, I would've been tempted to do the same. But the balance of this world dictates that not to not be allowed to happen. Tell me, Green Man, have you spoken to the trees? Have you heard what they say? Do they seek this conflict? You have one last chance to answer me, and you better make it a good one. Or else all of your goat friends will bleat their last, as will you.

**Overlord Thraka**

*Tammuz stands up, looking very not intimidating as he stands a full head short than Maiev*
Tammuz: You speak ill of the trees!? Of MY people?! That plague of 'civilization' is founded on the destruction of my lands. I'm simply reclaiming what is rightfully mine.

*The twins not happily*

*Morrigan flushes slightly*

*Cal accepts the hug with a bit of confusion as to why is wife is turning pink. Then throws Jake a smile and a "Guess we'll talk later" shrug*

**zombiekila707**

Jake: No, I have not! Would you like pancakes with ice cream?

*As they walk into the kitchen, he looks at Amelia and Cal with a little guilt.*

Jake: I cry pardon Cal and Amelia... I sorta got caught up with somethings! Can we talk after I make Denny pancakes?

*He looks a tad embarrassed.*

**Buttery Commissar**

[Benny creeps into the butter tank and sits on Kimmy's bed] I'm sorry. I lost track of time and fell asleep.
I just get... I miss Bridget, and Sam understands.
[Kimmy nods and sits up sleepily] [Hugs her father]

[Benny kisses her and tucks her in]

[Turns the light off and goes to bed himself]

**Sgt. Vanden**

You'll like them, I know it.
*Nods at everyone, then shakily takes a seat*
*Rubs eyes and tries telling the drunkness to piss off*

~

*Maiev smiles and shakes her head*
M: If the trees are your people, then you are their tyrant. Wrong answer, Tammuz.
*Blinks half a metre away from Tammuz and attempts to slash his throat with the glaive*

~

*Amelia smiles at Jake and Denny, then raises an eyebrow, then shrugs*
Amy: No worries Jake. It can wait for however long you need.
*Turns and looks at Denny*
Amy: I heard you went through a break-up. How you holding Denny?
D: I dunno. Pretty sure he was a douche, so I guess I'm kinda lucky I broke it off so early.
Amy: Why's he a douche?
D: He was kissing another chick less than three hours after we broke up.
Amy: ...I knew Nick was a witch, but I didn't think he was like this...

**Overlord Thraka**

*Tammuz allows himself to fall backwards as the earth opens up and he vanishes into it. The nature spirits take this as a sign and swarm Maiev*

*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: Don't worry about it Jake. I'm free most of the day.

*Morri frowns at Denny's woes then gasps and hopes the twins didn't overhear that last word. The twins polish off the last of the French Toast *
Morri: Loyal til the end huh? Wonder where that Commissariat training went

**Sgt. Vanden**

I didn't expect him to be loyal, we had just broken up, so he didn't owe me anything. Just the speed of the rebound took me hella by surprise.
*Shrugs*
I still have my friends. And he still has his.

~

*Maiev whirls around her glaive and starts massacring the nature spirits*

~

*Amelia frowns and shakes her head*
Amy: Just stay away from him...

**Overlord Thraka**

*Green blood flows like rivers until Maiev suddenly is sucked down under the earth. Tammuz's voice seems to whisper in her ears*
Tammuz: I will not allow you to let that whelp win. His time here is at a end. I should never have made a deal, and now I'll push him out, or kill him in the process

*The twins didn't hear a thing but that doesn't stop Morri from looking angry at Amelia*

**Buttery Commissar**

[Yarrick wanders into the kitchen with his new pans from Verdai] [Lights the stove and looks cheerful] Hey all. I don't have a big enough stove ring to test these in the tank.

[Looks quizzical at Jake] Have we met? Your mannerisms ring a bell. [Retrieves eggs and bacon from fridge]

**zombiekila707**

*Jake begins making pancakes, doesn't really want to speak ill of Nick, that hasn't already been said.*

Jake: Anyone else want pancakes?

*He smiles, and starts a burner. He looks over at Yarrick remembering a distinct memory*

Jake to Yarrick: Yes you're Yarrick! It's me Jake... kid who threw up in your tank awhile back...

**Sgt. Vanden**

*Looks at the table in deep thought, then looks up at Jake*
...
*Gets up and goes to the cupboard*
*Takes out the thingys to make pancakes and starts helping Jake*
Can't let you do it all, now can I?

~

*Maiev blinks out of the ground and coughs up some dirt*
M: You are selfish, Tammuz. That will not get you far.

~

*Amelia looks a bit confused at Morrigan, then remembers the twins, then holds her mouth*
Amy: Sorry!
*Hears Jake's comment to Yarrick and almost chokes on air*

**Buttery Commissar**

[Yarrick looks around, shrugs and then cracks an egg into the pan] ..!
[The egg flies straight out of the pan and hits the wall]

[Looks down at pan] [Drops a small cube of butter into the pan, which reacts similarly] ...Verdai. [Frowns and turns off the rung]

..? You did what in my tank?

**Overlord Thraka**

*Morrigan nods severely*
Morri: I understand, and I agree that he is what you said he was, but just be more mindful in the future okay?

*The Green Man emerges from the earth looking angry*
Tammuz: You come to this place, kill my subjects, and now you insult me!? I will not allow you to leave this realm alive!
*The trees start reaching out towards Maiev. Unlike the others, these trees seem more than happy to squeeze the life from Maiev*

*Dria and Morgan watch the egg fly off the pan and giggle as Cal frowns*
Cal: Sebastian, where did they get get those? Did they say?

**jhe90**

*Marla yawns and walks out in a hoody and jeans and heads to make tea*

Hello folks. *yawns again*.
Morning, *making tea*

Hey Amy, Denny, Morri, Dira, Morgan, Yarrick...
Busy kitchen!

**Sgt. Vanden**

*Puts on an apron and a chef hat*
...I have to look the part...

~

*Amelia almost dies of laughter from Yarricks response*

~

*Maiev blinks away from the trees, due to her unwillingness to want to hurt nature, and blinks right beside Tammuz*
*Slashes at him again while readying a knife in her free hand*
