OOC:
Eating. Back in 30 minutes

*makes her way into the kitchen looking tired*

*Todd smiles again*
T: Thank you for the kind words, Iris. And princesses? I didn't realize I was in the presence of nobility.
*Todd bows his head*
T: I apologize, I'm not dressed for the occasion.

*Harador shakes his head*
H: Mortals and their pet names...

[Perron nods and smiles back] [Starts bouncing the small white ball from hand to hand absentmindedly]

[Benny grins] Ayup. It's gonna be a lot of folks' first Christmas here. So I figured, make it count.
[The tree is bolted down firmly]

*marilania*

Yep...Princess. But call me Marilania.
*smiles*
Its no bother... This is a home not a royal court.

*maria*
Aye.. Titles formal... Just use our names.
*relaxed*
Please make yourself at home.

Sit down, get a drink, get some food. Feel free.

*Morri smiles*
Morri: You mind waiting for me to get the the twins up? They might like to help decorate it. Although, Elders normally celebrate Yule instead of Christmas


*Iris smiles at Todd*
Iris: Don't worry, royalty is overrated, take it from someone who knows firsthand.

*Rita snorts again.*
Rita: It's a insult, something you probably wouldn't get. Don't worry about it.
*She keeps scanning looking for threats.*

*maria*

Hey.. You know me remember! We freindly!

*marikania* us you mean *smiles* come on. What's you name?

We never asked. I do apologise .
Come on. Sit down. We have plenty of sofas.

*cuddling intensifies*

[Benny nods] We haven't really done much more than stabilise it. [Kimmy is confused by tinsel]

-PURGED (SEPTIMINE ARGETAL)-

*Morri smiles and nods*
Morri: I'll be back in a minute
*She walks back into her rooms and 10 minutes later emerges again with a pair of freshly woken twins*
Dria: What's a Chris-mas tree?
Morri: It's tree dedicated to a time of family and fellowship. Come on, don't you want to decorate it?
*Dria claps her hands and looks excited*
Dria: Oh yes please! What can we put on it!?
Morri: Why don't you ask Uncle Benny?
*Dria looks excitedly up at Benny*
Dria: What can we do!?

*Todd nods again*
T: I'm Todd. T-Tevinter Imperium if it matters, or is familiar.

*Harador sighs and stops suddenly*
H: I know what an insult is.

*Languor hisses and stands up*
Shooting the messenger. My old friend is going senile in his age.
*Languor waves a hand and a small rift opens up in front of him*

*marilania*

Umm Christmas? What..

Yule.....?
I ... Grew up on different planets... Schola...

*smiles*
Sounds fun.

..


*maria*
I'm imperial... Mars....

If your talking about same empire.

Sis my sister and family.

*Morri sighs and shakes her head then starts explaining Christmas to Iris and the Princesses*


*Gharn stops and waits*

*I shiver a bit more as my spine is stroked*

*marilania*

We celebrate somthibf familar.... But not Christmas.
A winter festival...

Our home world has very different traditions.
I grew up on Olympus... Then schola... I was pretty... Well I did mot get to travel too much.

*maria*
It was a security thing.... I was rather protective....

*Senses the shivering*
Hmmm.... do you purr, too? Of course you do.
*Keeps repeating the motion*

*Rita stops and stabs a knife into the wall. A small orange blinks on the hilt. Her suits sonar pulse systems turn on letting her see through walls.*
Rita: Figured you would know what a insult is, just not the reference..
*She looks around trying to find threats.

*Gharn sniffs for the scent of Langour*


*Morri smiles and helps Benny chaperone the twins and Kimmy*


*Iris smiles*
Iris: Todd, I'll be in the kitchen if you'd like to talk more. Goodbye for now
*Goes into the kitchen and makes all natural hippie vegan food for herself*

*shivers some more*
*eyes are wide with emotion*

[Benny shows the twins how to hook baubles and figures onto the tree] [Kimmy hovers them for the taller branches, and lets the others choose where they fit]
[Benny looks at the top] ..We'd usually have an angel. But is that weird, now?

[Perron picks up a glass bauble, and the surface roils with shifting colours, like a storming sky] ... [He hangs it in the upper branches]

-PURGED (SEPTIMINE ARGETAL)-

*maria* then a star?

Or we can go imperial and a skull... Impirial love skulls..
*laughs * can always add some rivets!

*smiles*
A star then?

*marilania*
Whatever works!

*grabs Verdai and pulls him close*
*censored things begin occurring*

*-OMITTED- ears -OMITTED-*

OOC: Sick to point of delirium. Taking nap.

*Todd nods*
I... I think I should get something to eat as well. I haven't eaten in... I don't know how long.
*follows after Iris*

*Harador shakes his head and goes to speak but suddenly drops to a defensive crouch and draws his sword as a large figure materializes in front of him, swiping a claw at his throat*
*blocks the claw and growls as the figure disappears and rematerializes several meters in front of them*

Faster than I remember, Grave Walker.
*Languor grins and opens his arms in a welcoming gesture, revealing one hand to be bleeding where Harador cut him*
Here to share in the festivities?

*Gharn roars at the sight of Languor and charges with his sword while painfully changing form. Gharn unleashes a torrent of swings at Languor before the Sloth Demon catches him in the jaw with a punch and sends the Torc Lione through a wall, leaving him unconscious*

*Languor sighs and spits out a glob of black blood*
So much for my policy of not harming the mortals. They deserve better.

OOC: OT is leaving, and this is what he wanted to happen with Gharn.

*Rita starts firing her Volt at Languor.*
Rita: Gharn wait!
*Watches Gharn get thrown through a wall, and grits her teeth with rage. She runs to the flank of Languor, and keeps firing.*
Rita: Alright Hodor! You better fething help!

*maria and marinalia wave*

*Both happily talking about a ball they want to attend watching tv *

...

*Space wolves ride out on thunderwolf hunting down a elephant sized moose from the hall round the rooms perimeter*

*Several loud howls as break into the Forrest*

*Todd looks startled at the sight of Kara and drops to a knee*
T: Qun anaam esaam!
*looks worried but tries his best to hide it*
*Kara turns around and puts a hand over her mouth before slowly smiling at Todd*
K: There's no need for that.


*Languor waves a hand at Rita, sending a ball of Fade energy at her*
The Pride Demon, getting help from mortals. Ones that don't know his species, I would bet.
*Languor's arm extends into a long blade, and the demon charges at Rita. The bullets cause black ichor to spill from Languor, but he seems unaffected by the damage they're causing*

*Harador nods and moves to intercept Languor, thrusting his own blade towards Languor's back*
