*Ali looks over at Kara*
Ali: Qun Empire, or Vasoth?
*Kara shakes her head*
K: Tal-Vasoth. I do not serve the Empire anymore.
*Ali nods and looks over at Maiev*
Ali: And what's your story?

*Todd nuzzles against Marilania but remains sleeping*

*Wade looks at the portal*
DP: We just hop in? Well feth yeah, let's go.
*theatrically flips into the portal*

M: I'm an elf.
*Shrugs and holds onto Kara's hand*

*marilania stirs and wakes up and blinks*

Morning... *yawns and kisses todd*
(been a while since I had someone to wake up to)

*I'm a gonna get a shower... Can you call down for room service?
Coffee.. Some pan o Choclat and whatever you want. ...
There's gold in my hand bag... Should be near my phone...

*smiles and gets up heading over to shower and turning it on singing along quietly*

...

*Maria sits in living room and relaxes with a coffee*
Its always nice in morning... Quiet... Slightly less crazy...

*Ali smirks*
Ali: I figured that. But you're not like any elf I've seen.

*Todd smiles and nods*
T: Will do.
*manages to phone room service and order some coffee, chocolate, and toast*
*gets dressed and waits for room service*

*Rita stands off to the side fiddling with her gun,*
*Briefly tries to contact Rt, but with no luck.*

Jake to Billy and Commissar: See you on the other side.
*Jake nods to Thoth, and walks through the portal.*
*On the other side of the portal, the group finds themselves in a post apocalyptic city. The ciy itself has similar in architecture to New York, except in ruins. Another notable thing is the air is thick with a putrid Yellow vapor.*
Jake: We should stick close,Deadpool.

OOC: What Lud looks like:

*marilania walks back in wearing a towell drying hair*

*just collects food wearing a towell after knock at door *
I don,t mind.. Can,r see anything.. Well. Fun *smiles*

*lays out food and smiles*
Enjoy... Anywhere you wanna go on way back... We have ernough fuel to not head back straight and take a detour?

*Floats up to the ceiling and just meditates away from everyone*

*Maiev shrugs*
M: Different universe. I have better ears.

The majority of this group is from different universes. We are from universe μ-In Light We Thrive. From what we have deduced from passive study, you, the anomaly we are hunting, and Kara are from μ-True Eminence of the Probable King.
The home universe of Maiev, Izriel, and Rita have not been catalogued by the Department. However, we have contained an anomalous entity similar to Izriel, which is from μ-Eight Winds of Universal Energy.

[Commissar follows Jake, and apart from the slight disturbance from using the portal, looks entirely unmoved or surprised by the state of the city] [Looks up at the sky and pauses]
...I'm sorry that this happened to your planet, Jake. I know that uh, I see this a lot... But you know this place, so I'm sorry.

What's our destination?
[Only notices the vapor if it has an effect other than direct physical/chemical, as his lungs are bionic]

*Rita walks a little way from the group, not wanting to listen to the conversation.*
*Puts her back to a wall, and sits.*
*She then takes off her helm, runs a hand through her hair, and leans her head back against the wall.*

-----
*Jake shakes his head.*
Jake: My true home is New York... this place was a living hell before we got here.. then got worse when we left.
*He sighs.*
Jake: Don't worry about the air.. the nerve gas has dissipated..
*Jake closes his eyes, and hones in on Denny's presence. He opens them, turns around, and starts walking through the crumbling streets.*
Jake: Follow me.

[Commissar nods] [Replies quietly] Still, this isn't something you should ever feel accustomed to. Don't let yourself become like us, Jake.

We normalise death and then carry it with us internally... I don't know what folk should keep in that space, but you fill it all with this, you begin to forget the good things. [Looks back at portal briefly] [Follows quietly]

*Jake sighs, and shakes his head.*
Jake: My whole life has been a series of conflicts, and death.. It's hard to believe, but I have died three times now... Death and I are well acquainted. Everyday I spent here was another day I expected another meeting with death...
*He looks around briefly, then turns to the commissar.*
Jake: But you are right, I do not dwell on that... not anymore at least. I have Denny.. She is the best thing to happen to me...
*Pace quickens slightly.*

*maria lies on sofa and flicks on I'm a idiot, get me out of here*
*watching a jungle survial show set on catchan with 90% fatality rate*

*shrugs as they dodge barking toads on lily oads with piranias in the water and sips coffee *

...

*Marla heads out med bay and goes to collect a delivery from a landing shuttle*

*Ali smirks*
Ali: They do draw the eye.
*frowns slightly*
But what kind of elf has horns?

*Kara squeezes Maiev's hand slightly*

*Wade nods and follows after Jake*
DP: You know, I wouldn't mind visiting Death. She's a lot nicer in person.

*Todd smiles and nods*
T: A detour could be fun. There's still a lot of things I've never seen.

M: A special elf. You and me won't have any problems if you don't talk gak to Kara, or do anything to her.
*Smiles unnervingly at Ali, then tilts head at the Templar*
M: Can I burn him?

Jake to Deadpool: I remember when she was in the room... though to be honest I didn't like talking to her much.
*Jake shrugs.*
Jake: I'm sure she is a nice person though.
*Out of the glum ahead of them a huge tower stretches into the sky. Most of the towers windows if not all of them are destroyed, and strange sickly moss grows on the otter walls. It also seem leaning off to the side, giving the impression that the tower is drunk.*
*Jake's eyes momentarily widen, as the waves of sadness seem to increase in intensity.*
Jake: She is being held in there.

*marilania finishes breakfast and finds clothes before getting dressed and packing few things up*
Losing my skirt not exactly a good idea... *laughs*
Ready Todd? *smiles*

Sure... Where. What you wanna find? Lakes, or anything? Towns?
With the spares... I've got 200 miles fuel roughly...
Not much fuel out here... Sorry.

[Commissar follows and looks up at the building as Jake speaks]
What tells you, Jake?
And who waits for us in there?

*Ali nods*
Ali: I don't plan on messing with a Qunari anyway. Especially if she's a sorcerer too.
*looks over at Ramsey, who is still unconscious*
No one will miss him. I know I won't.

*Kara frowns*
K: That's murder. Even for a templar.

*Wade grins*
DP: She was more than nice.
*draws a gun*
Well, I don't like to keep people waiting.

*Todd smiles and nods*
T: We can go wherever you want. You're the expert here.

*Jake keeps walking, and does his best to mask his emotions.*
Jake: I have a connection with her.. I can feel her.. it's hard to explain, I just know..
*He rolls his shoulder.*
Jake: I expect agents of the Crimson King... or worse. Prepare for a fight. *To Deadpool.* I agree, let's keep moving.
*His pace quickens.*

*Maiev sighs, and nods*
M: He's safe from me so long as Kara wills it.
*Pouts and leans on Kara slightly*

*smiles and puts an arm around Maiev*
Thanks, Kadan. If the templar tries anything, you can have first swing on him.
*smiles innocently and kisses Maiev*

*Ali frowns slightly*
Ali: Awfully generous, for a rogue mage.
*shrugs*
I'm not one to judge. Ramsey wouldn't have made it this far if I didn't need someone to punch demons for me.

*Ramsey groans softly from where he is laying*

*Wade raises an eyebrow*
DP: How many bullets do they take? The last King book I read was the Mist, so I'm a little behind.

*marinalia*

Sure... Maybe.. ... Umm
*thinks *

Meh.. Lets just drive and see where the hell we end up. Mystery tour...
I've decided too much stuff... I feel like I was bossing you...

*smiles. Holds hands and heads down to reception, leaving key on desk and climbing into humvee*

Belt up. And lets head out. *smiles *
Left or right?

...

*space wolves begin testing the bagpipe combo bolter in the firing range at the hall*
*get mixes results and starts tinkering*

*Todd smiles*
T: Left sounds good.

*Jake turns to deadpool, looking a bit shocked.*
Jake: Wait.. Deadpool, you read one or more of Kings books? Why haven't you told me this!
*Jake facepalms.*
Jake: I expect taheen resistance, and maybe some robots... higher up we start seeing... things. Stop breaking the forth wall.. dammit.

*Wade shrugs and shuffles his feet*
DP: Don't tell Peter. He'll make fun of me.

Please, there is no need for murder of a harmless person at this moment. Our objective is ahead of us. It does not lie in pointless infighting.

*marinalia*

Ok... So.. Left it is..
*heads left and drives into a dense forrest section by forrest and northern style cabins in distence, with smoke rising from thrm chimneys*

Left... Hmm
*just drives*

Just incase... There's a ma duce on the roof..
Pull level on left. Hold on and push the buttens...

It fires.. Pretty loud...
Hope come back with no need but hey.


....

*Maria sits and starts watching sister Sarah, revenge of the lesbian zombie bikini pagent*

Meh.. Cannot be that bad... Surely... *laughs *

*Jake sighs.*
Jake: I have never met Peter or spider man, don't worry about it. You gotta show me what books you have of King's later.
*They keep pushing forward, closer to the ruined tower.*

M: With pleasure Kara.
*Smiles and looks over at Ramsey's body*
*Tilts head at Ali*
M: Watch your mouth.
