*Rita nods at Gharn.*
Rita: Yeah, pretty strange.. figured Kara should get a look at them. *Turns to Kara.* Templar was already being a ass.. is he gonna be a problem?
*She waits till Izriel is dressed, and walks up to her.*
Rita: Hey what we talked about.. seriously... it's okay. I'm used to being given orders... admittedly your abruptness was distracting, yet humbling.. Don't sweat is all I am saying.

*Leo snoozes on the couch and gets npced*

*looks at the agents*
They work with the Chantry. Enforce its laws, and hunt down rogue mages.
*squeezes Maiev's hand and turns to Rita*
He might be. Unless he went rogue, I doubt he'll make good company. But we'll be careful.

*Santiago nods*
S: (Let's get something to eat. I don't want either of us to starve.)

*Todd smiles and nods while cuddling*
T: I will. It is the least I could do.
*pauses*
I should say goodbye to the others, before I leave. And that gives us some more time together.

*marinalia*

Of course... Quetz especially... He may even have a gift for you before you go. The angel who saved you, verdai, a few definitely deserve thanks.

*smiles contently*
Well... I won,t say no... Or for that matter for further... Fun...
Goodnight... *kisses goodnight and falls asleep peacefully still cuddling*

....

*Maria gets up as Paul ends and leaves mug on table*

Night... If anyone cares...
*goes to bed and curls up into a nest of blankets and plushy and fallas asleep with a mechadrite resting over her heart placing a gentle pressie as feels comfeting*

...

*Marla does night shift as I forgot her*

...

*space wolves invent the combo bagpipe bolter and have second thoughts about the sheer power of such a weapon*

OOC:
Damn it Jhe, now that bagpipe bolter image is stuck in my head.

*Todd smiles and closes his eyes*
T: Goodnight, Marilania.
*hugs Marilania and falls asleep soon afterwards*

Hunt down rogue mages? So, effectively the same function as us, but extrauniversal. Interesting.

*nods*
Similar, now that you point it out. But so far you've been more pleasant than templars have been.
*squeezes Maiev's hand again*
Let's go, Kadan.
*leads Maiev to the trio and tries to hide her emotions at the sight of the templar*

*Ali nods in greeting while Ramsey stares at the pair and the human archer just kinda chills, not like he could say anything anyway*
Ali: Kara? And who's this? I wasn't expecting a crowd.
*tightens his grip on his staff and Kara sighs*
Kara: We've got a small group. You've seen Rita and Izriel. This is Maiev, we also have a were-lion Gharn, and three agents.
*Ali whistles*
Ali: Big group. Not sure how you're all managing to survive this place, demons are running everywhere.

*Wade walks into the main room while humming to himself*
*sits down on a couch and flips on the TV*

This party has sufficient firepower to destroy any attacking anomalies. Note. Principal Kara, our stock of Terminator rounds has been completely depleted. We will be utilizing kinetic penetrators or nullifiers for the remaining time of this operation.

*I walk by the Room on the main road*

*nods*
Noted. Make your shots count. Do you have any melee weapons, if those run out?

*Ali raises an eyebrow*
Ali: These the agents? Strange armor.
*nods his head*
Ali. Templar, are you going to sulk or greet yourself?
*Ramsey sighs and nods his head ever so slightly*
R: Ramsey. And do not tempt me, mage.

Yes. We are equipped with lumine blades for emergencies. They should be more than sufficient for the task at hand.
*Whitakker pulls a nine-inch-long knife out of a holster, and presses a button on the hilt that causes the edge to light up violet*
*He deactivates the blade and holsters it again*
Greetings. I am Decanus Fyrafabys Whitakker of the Colonial Federation Department of Anomalies. We are here to contain, terminate, or neutralize hostile anomalous phenomena and entities. My colleagues are Novus Copfyer and Novus Mattherson.

*Gharn casts a look at Izriel and Rita*
Gharn: Alright... Was there anything else?


*He then stands and walks over to stand next to Kara, (I think) towering over the unfamiliar trio, with a unreadable expression on his face as he crosses his arms*
Gharn: Ho-Khazet, who are these three?

Glad to hear it.
*looks back at Ali*
So, what is your plan? With enough magic, I can get you back to Orlais. No guarantees where you will be after that.
*looks over at Gharn*
They might be tagging along with us, for a time. So far, they're friendly.

*Ali nods and occasionally glances at the agents*
Ali: Getting home would be good. Not dying to a demon is what I want most though.
*looks at the agents*
Where do they come from? Never seen anything like them. Not even here.
*runs his tongue along his teeth and frowns at them*
That armor anti-magic? Looks fancier than the gak Ramsey here wears.

[Commissar BC walks Kimmy back from class, and stops by the kitchen to collect s meal for her] [Smiles politely at anyone nearby] ..I thought I'd split some of the childminding with Sam. Benny needs the help lately.

[Yvette is learning how to use a smoothie maker] [Is doing it a lot more neatly than most people]

*Rita shakes her head at Gharn, and waits.*

----
*Jake finally comes out of his room, and walks into the kitchen trying to find Deadpool.*
Jake: Deadpool, it is time... are you ready?
*Nods to commissar BC and Kimmy.*

*Twilly rolls out of his cushions and looks at Kimmy*


*Morrigan takes the twins to get some breakie and nods to Kimmy, Commissar BC and Twilly*
Morri: Morning!

*Wade grins and nods*
DP: Should I grab my toothbrush? Nah, forget it. Let's go.

Yes, to an extent. It is entirely null-shielded. The exoskeleton assists my strength, reaction time, recoil compensation and movement speed. Unfortunately, due to the Temafyin-Felyd Effect, null-shielding only works against certain types of magic. That being any warp-based attacks.

[Commissar nods back to Jake] [Kimmy very cautiously lets go of his hand and walks towards Jake] [Stands a little way off and considers him]

[CBC frowns] Kimmy, leave the good young man alone... [Points to the counter] We need to sort your dinner-
[Kimmy sighs and shakes head] [Steps closer to Jake and looks concerned] [Pats him very gently on the arm]

*Jake nods to Deadpool.*
Jake: No I doubt we will have time to brush-
*He looks down at Kimmy touching his arm, and tries to smile but can't manage it but fails.*
Jake: Hi.. Kimmy.. how you been?

[CBC exhales very slightly] ...her father is missing. Or rather his spirit is. Benny is tied to that daemon, Perron. [Looks downcast] I'm supposed to be distracting her.

[Kimmy looks up at Jake and nods] [Jake has a strange, tiny sense of calm, almost like when a dog sits with you and understands your sadness] [She pats him again gently, and then sits down at the counter and fiddles with her food a bit]

[Commissar rubs the bridge of his nose] I'm terrible with children.
Do you need any help, Jake of New York?

*Ali nods*
Ali: I see. Well, I hope you've been having fun in the Fade.
*looks over at Gharn*
And this is Gharn? Not as ugly as the Dark Spawn, at least.
*smirks*
*Ramsey eyes Gharn and the trio warily*
R: You hunt mages? Perhaps the Maker does watch over me after all.
*Ali rolls his eyes*

*Jakes stares at Kimmy for a long moment then nods.*
Jake: I.. go to save my ka-mate, from a horrible place... it will be treacherous... and you may die... But you are welcome to join me, and Deadpool.
*Jake fills up his canteen.*
Jake: Just understand what you are getting into.

[Commissar looks thoughtful] Commissars don't fear death, Jake. We have to be familiar with it.
We fear loss. [Half smiles sadly]

Count me in, then. That is a fight I can understand, now.
Times were, I'd have called you foolish, but I understand. [Looks out towards the main room where Sam is attaching icicles to the mantlepiece] [Nods slightly]

*Gharn growls, exposing the razor sharp fangs in his mouth*
Gharn: Watch your tone Humani...


*Billy and Jordan eventually falls down onto the bed. Billy sleeps for a whiles then wakes up, kisses Jordan, grabs some clothes and goes for a shower*

*puts a hand on Gharn's shoulder*
Easy, Gharn. He's just teasing. Ali, I suggest you do what Gharn says.
*Ali nods*
Ali: I meant no disrespect, of course. You're much nicer than the lycanthrope I've found. They don't even wash their teeth, you know.

*Wade nods*
DP: Welcome aboard, Commie.

*Rita nods in agreement with Gharn.*
Rita: This really isn't the place for jests, Ali.

------

*Jake nods back to Commissar.*
Jake: Glad to have your aid.. meet me at Thoths room, there we take a portal to Lud... where Denny is being held. I have another matter to attend to, and will join you in a moment.*Turns to Deadpool.* Same to you Deadpool, see you in a moment.
*He runs outside, making his way to Amelia, and Yarricks Baneblade. Jake then puts a note outside the door labeled for Amelia, then runs back to the room.*

*Gharn nods to Kara then look back to Ali*
Gharn: I have heard stories of the Gray Wolves of Lyssa, and the White Wolves of Shadowhaven... but I have never met one myself.
*Nods again to Rita*
Gharn: We are here to kill a Demon, not to make jokes.
*States this more as a fact than anything else*


*Billy walks back into the main room towling his hair, dressed in a undershirt and beat up old sweatpants and barefoot*

[Commissar nods and then joins Sam in the main room] [Explains to him what's happening]
[Sam looks shocked and holds him close] ...you come back for Christmas, or I'll come and get you myself.
[CBC looks briefly embarrassed and then returns the hug] I promise. It's a date. [Smiles faintly and then kisses Sam on the forehead] You'll get a proper one when I come back.

[Sam watches Commissar walk to Thoth's room] [Smiles nervously and a small amount of steam rises out of his collar] Hrmph...
