*Maria waves to iris and sips her coffee*

Don,t ya have ensuites?
We gott a have room surely...

*marinalia pulls up at the garages and parks the rather dusty Humvee up*

Home... Todd. *stretches* wow that was quite a drive... I've not done Tha many miles often round here. .

*Slowly opens eyes and coughs*
...Ow.

*Maiev quietly holds Kara*
*Doesn't make any movement, but sets the agents foot on fire*

~

*Denny stirs very slightly*
D: ..?!

*Blake sits in the kitchen and thinks while he eats*

*Leo squeezes Scatty*

*leans against Maiev and smiles*
*goes to say something but gasps when the agent's foot is lit on fire*

*Ali backs away from the agent slightly while smirking*

*Todd smiles*
T: It was fun while it lasted.

*Scatty smiles*
Scatty: So... what are we going to do today? Food to start?


*Gharn sits up straight, comes out of his doze and looks at Izriel, his face full of fear but a spark of hope in his eyes*
Gharn: Izriel?!

*Rita looks over at Izriel, and winces at her coughs.*
Rita: Are-are you okay? Is there anything I can do?
*She turns to Gharns yell, and for some reason a targeting reticle settles on his face... Rita quickly shakes her head.*
Rita hisses to Gharn: Stop yelling..

----
Jake: Denny?
*He lightly squeezes her hand.*
Jake: It's me.. and it's over..

Anomalous action, pyrokine. That fire isn't natural. The temperature is not sufficient to breach my armor. Should I jettison the affected section, Decanus?
*Copfyer recieves a go-ahead through the neural network, and disconnects his exoskeleton and armor from the flaming boot with an emergency release trigger, revealing a light grey insulation layer*
*He steps over to Mattherson's corpse, removes his boot, and begins slipping it on and connecting the exoskeleton jack to the boot's port*

*marilania nods*

Aye.. You gotta go. Does not mean we cannot say goodbye properly... One last bit of crazy...

The good kind.. *winks*

....

*Maria goes to tv and sets up for the night download of things*

...

*Marla looking for something in a storage chest from when they had just met *

If by okay you mean alive, then yes. I am okay.
*Tries sitting up, and succeeds*
...How you doin'?
*Winces very slightly from the loud voices*

~

*Denny blinks(with one eye), and looks at Jake*
*Exhales quietly and squeezes his hand back*
D: ...

~

*Maiev smiles slyly, and puts the fire out without any motion*
M: ...Whatever could have done that?

*Gharn looks visibly relieved*
Gharn: I am well, but you should still be concerned about your own injuries

*Copfyer finishes connecting the new boot and flexes leg section of exoskeleton to ensure connection*
A pyrokine, presumably. One that is either within line of sight or one with a powerset entirely inconsistent with ones we've seen before.
*He holsters the deactivated lumine blade*

*Leo nods*

Leo: Food sounds good.

*Leo flicks her tongue*

*Rita nods.*
Rita to Izriel: Good to hear... I'm... managing..

------
*Jake gently hugs Denny.*
Jake: I'm sorry... I should of been there sooner.. should have stopped them.. the tortures you went through.. I failed you Denny.. I'm so sorry.
*He gets slightly teary eyed, and his hug tightens slightly.*
Jake: I have forgotten the face of my father...

*Gharn looks down at Izriel*
Gharn: Is there anything we can do to aide you?


*Scatty grins and stands, then looks over at her sleeping sister, drags the blanket off Aoife's bed and puts it over the snoozing shade*
Scatty: Okay, let's go.


*Billy is still looking for Jordan*

*Looks over self, and winces*
It hurts a lot worse than it looks. I can imagine my body is bruised and battered beyond belief.
*Leans up slightly*
Help me up. We must push on. The earlier we finish this, the earlier we get home and get to shower.

~

*Denny weakly(uncommon of her) hugs back, and shakes her head*
D: ...
*Tries to not cry back*
*Succeeds due to balls the size of...uhh...Something very big, idk. I can't actually think of an analogy to use tbh*

*Leo smiles and follows Scatty*

Leo: Sounds like a plan.

*Blake sits in the kitchen drinking some lemonade*

*Gharn nods and goes to help Izriel to her feet with his good arm*


*Scatty walks into the kitchen, ignores Blake pointedly and rummages in the fridge*

*Rita nods, and watches Gharn help Izriel up.*
Rita: Please.. be careful.
*Starts scanning around for hostiles.*

---
*Jake holds Denny for a long moment.*
Jake: I-I won't ever let this happen again.. I swear..
*He looks at her face, looking determined.*
Jake: I swear it..

*Blake looks up at Leo and Scatty as they enter then back down at his drink*

*Leo waits for Scatty to finish with the fridge and then grabs a salmon*

*Winces, but stands up with Gharn's help*
Thanks.
*Looks over at Rita, and winces again*
Your armour is red again.

~

*Denny nods, then breaks the embrace*
*Lies back down and looks away from Jake*

*squeezes Maiev's hand*
I'd consider yourself lucky, the fire could have been a lot worse.

*Ali walks over to the nearest slain golem and digs into its chest (mostly using magic, because it's still a bunch of metal) before retrieving a core*
Ali: One down.
*makes his way over to the second golem to repeat the process*

*Todd smiles*
T: The good kind. I like the sound of that.

L*Marla digs and finds a older bit of paper ..*

Oh gak... It could be her... This seems familar.... Milos ex...
I thought we killed her once....

*sighs and closes chest*

...

*marilania*
Mine or yours? Mine involves a telport....

I know you not get on so well...

...

*Maria changes the hard drive delete code after several days trying and goes back to watching galdiator*

*Gharn either allows Izriel to support herself on him, or stands close by ready to catch her if she stumbles or falls*


*Iris walks into the kitchen, smiles to Blake, Leo and Scatty*
Iris: Good morning!
*Scatty waves from the counter where she's putting together a smoothie*

Rita: It's.. meant to be like that.. let's just keep moving. You take it easy..
*Reloads her Volt, and nods to the pair.*

---
*Jake gently grabs Denny's hand again.*
Jake: Denny... please speak to me..
*His eyes are raw with emotion, and he visibly slumps as she turns away from him.*
Jake: Please let me help you...

*Leo smiles and waves to Iris*

Leo: Morning.

*Blake looks up nods then goes back to thinking*

*Nods, and sighs*
You two lead the way.
*Floats up very slightly*

~

*Denny sighs, and looks at Jake again*
*Squeezes his hand, then looks away again*
D: ...Don't look at me...

*Gharn nods, and shifts back to Lione form with a wince. All the fur is burned off the arm that was... burned and he looks over his sword, frowning at the bad edge damage that came from hitting the golems with it. He then looks back at Izriel*
Gharn: Are you sure you are up for this?


*Iris grabs a few yogurt cups*
Iris; How have we all been then?

Through the doors then.
*nods and walks over to the doors the golems were guarding before looking back at the group*
Kadan, do you hear anything on the other side?
*Faint chanting, almost like a hymn or prayer can be heard by anyone with strong enough hearing were they to listen*

*Ali pockets the second core and falls in place a respectable distance behind Kara*

*Todd smiles*
T: My place, if it's not too much trouble.

I will be fine.
*Looks worriedly at Rita*
Wish I could say the same for all of us.
*Waits for Kara and the others*

~

*Maiev tilts her head*
M: Chanting? Or very soft voices talking to each other like idiots. Either one.

*marilania*

Sure... Il see you in about 5 minutes... Oh Il teleport direct...
I need to change into something less... Driven in... I feel ... Need something clean... However little I wear it...

Be worth it.
*vanishes in a bright flash and heads to room to tidy self up abit and find somthibf less traveled in and more bedroom*

..

*Maria wanders into kitchen for a refill*

Hey iris, leo, scattry, Blake the fastest barman in the west.

Meh.. *pours self a large glass of wine and sips*
Treat not hurt....
