*Leo lays asleep on her bed*

*Scatty has stopped playing with Leo's tail and just snuggles with her, one hand straying occasionally over herself but careful not to wake Leo*

*If Walter could smile he would.*
Walter: Nothing is hidden from my eyes..
*He still stands there awkwardly as the shoggoth keeps fighting.*
*Flagg picks up the bookcase, looks at the shattered limp form of Jake, then slams it back down on him for good measure.*
Flagg: My work is almost done... Have you found it?
Walter: Shut up, Flagg.

*Denny clutches at her chest in pain and sits up*
D: J-Jake?!
*Gets up, and starts getting into her armour*

*Thoth is still struggling against the chains and magically hurls more vials of various acids, explosives and accidentally a perfume*

*Walter doesn't fall for the trick again, and catches the vials with telekinesis.*
Walter: Enough. You are just being annoying at this point.
*Flagg stands next to Walter.*
Flagg: Should I gut him? *Gestures to Thoth.*
Walter: Eh... do what you will.
*Flagg stomps over to the chained Thoth and begins to wail on him with his fists.*

*Thoth does his best to show no outwards sign of his pain as he lanky form is assaulted.*
Thoth: You'll... never... win...
*Blood dribbles from the corner of his beak as he slowly sinks down under the wailing to blows*

*Walter rolls his eyes, and keeps concentrating on finding the rose.*
*Flagg grins, and keeps pummeling Thoth.*
*Jake is knocked out under a bookcase.*

*Denny rushes out of her room in her armour, looking for Jake*
D: Oy, find Jake!

*Thoth is lying on the floor, unconscious as he's beaten*


*Meanwhile Gharn is buttering toast*


*Iris draws back a 6 foot recurve bow and aims down the arrow before firing at a target in the shooting range*

*Oy nods, feeling that something is wrong as well.*
*He scampers off to find Jake.*

------
*Flagg stops beating Thoth, and turns to Walter.*
Flagg: Have you found it?
Walter: Yes, I believe so.. it is warded... She is coming.
*Flagg grins.*
Flagg: Let the bitch come.. I'll deal with her.
*He kicks Thoth one last time, for good measure.*
*The shoggoth begins to finally die after a long battle with the robots.*

*Denny grabs her shotgun and hurries after Oy*

*Flagg waits in the hall for Denny.*
*Walter keeps trying to get past Thoths wards.*
*Oy finally spots Thoth's room, and Flagg.*

*Denny growls at Flagg, levels her shotgun, but doesn't fire*
*Scans the area for Jake*
D: Where is he?

*Flagg shrugs, and starts walking towards Denny.*
Flagg: Who cares.
*He grins, and starts to run at her.*

*Denny sighs and fires the shotgun at Flagg*
D: Oy, find Jake, make sure he's okay!

*Flagg staggers for a moment, as his side gets a chunk blow out of it. But he seems to stomp forward towards Denny.*
*Oy runs inside of Thoths room, sees Thoth lying on the ground, then heads over to the book case. (Not seeing Walter anywhere.)*

*Noximilleon appears from the mists, observing the scene before it.*

*Thoth stirs slightly then cries out as he tries to lift himself up on a shattered arm and collarbone*


*Gharn is idly eating on the sofas, with a book open on the coffee table before him*


*The twins are asleep as Morri games*


*Horus is in the garage and Iris is pegging targets, frowning her at her shots*

OOC: Hello new guy

*Nox sighs as he realizes what sort of situation he's gotten himself into.*

"Peace and quiet, of course not. Centuries of toil, a victory of my finest hour, the heart-rending defeat... And now this."

"..."

"Feth my life."

[Yarrick sits barely conscious on the floor of the baneblade] ... [Looks up weakly at the knocking] [Stands, and opens door, supporting self on it] ...llo?

[Perron turns head again] ... [Looks uncertain] [Feels Thoth's pride take a massive blow, before fading] ... Excuse me.
[Sets off running, and becomes a blur, before becoming a sound and gust of wind] [Whips down the corridors, and arrives at Thoth's room]
[Looks bewildered at the chaos inside, and sprints over to Thoth's side, kneeling with him] [Sees the injury to his ego more prominently than his beating] ...not that you need any help, but how do I assist you anyway?

*Denny fires again, takes a step back, and repeats steps 1-2*

OOC Welcome to hell, friend.

*Thoth grunts through a cracked beak*
Thoth: No... get Jake. M'not worth it...


*Cal looks up at Yarrick*
Cal: By Danu... you look like gak. How much sleep have you had?!
*Quickly moves forwards and takes Yarrick weight*

Ooc welcome to the room.

Enjoy the crazy

...

*Maria curls back round and decides to lie in*

*Marla working from home, sorting the med bays paperwork *

...

*marinalia wakes up showers and works out in ships gym in sports skirt and a midriff baring sports top*

...

*space wolves running a the halls inventery and sat round a massive deerskin set of documents. *

Ooc back at normal time.

[Yarrick mumbles] Like you said, lots. I just... It's not sticking.
[Looks a bit perplexed]

[Perron looks over to where Jake is reverse-IKEA-ing] ...How's about both. But first, you. [Holds out hand to Thoth] You need a hand.

*Thoth sighs and weakly takes Perron's hand with his own bruised and broken one while trying not to groan in pain*


*Cal frowns and looks worried*
Cal: Alright, I think I'd better run those tests now. Something's very very wrong with you. You okay with this?

*Flagg pushes forward for a moment, but after losing a arm, and most of his upper torso.. He starts to debate on retreating.*
Flagg: Damn futuristic weapons... annoying little-
*His demonic form implodes releasing swarms of insects.*

------
*Oy scratches at the bookshelf.*

OOC: Welcome to the room!

[In admitting he needs assistance, Thoth feels a massive burst of energy and relief spread from the offered hand] [His wounds do not heal, but they pain him less, and he finds himself able to stand freely, unencumbered] [Perron winks] ..Call it a recharge.
[To the extremely observant, Perron is now an inch shorter]

[Steps back] [Crouches by Oy] [Begins manually lifting the books and debris] I can't magically move these, Oy. It'd cause explosions.

[Yarrick looks half-awake] Tests?

*Denny starts firing at the insects, and steps forwards*

*Thoth slowly stands and looks furious with himself. He then looks around for Walter as he finally activates his aura. It heals him rapidly as he cracks his neck and flexes his fingers*


*Cal nods*
Cal: Tests, yes. We need to find out what's wrong with you
