*shakes her head*
What's your game? We've spent too much time to find a shadow.

I have only tried to help. I showed Rita a true peace, and now she suffers after being taken from that. Verdai is currently experiencing his own utopia. I have one for each of you, all you must do is listen.

*Ali suddenly starts giggling and shakes his head*
Ali: We've done it. We've gone to hell to die.


*Wade makes his way to Perron*
DP: How ya doing, big fella?

*Ignore my last several posts, I'm a fething moron who doesn't know when to leave well alone*
*I never left the bar*

*Cal nods*
Cal: Automail is a kind of cybernetic augmentation or more often, prosthetic.
It's a bit more rustic than most imperial designs, but doesn'tt require a external power source. Instead it runs off the electrical pulses of your nerves. It functions exactly like a natural appendage.
*He opens a door to a operating room*
Cal: The plan, should you agree to it, is to replace your current mechanical arm with one of automail. The implant is also far more adaptable, for the one you have it's fairly difficult to make a new one and attach it, but for automail, for the most part you can replace the arm easily, almost like pulling on a boot, albeit far more painful when the nerves are attached.
Then I was going to start up a vat-grow to replace your biological arm with a transplant, as you said you still wanted to feel
*Smiles kindly*
Which is more than understandable.
So, how does that sound?


*Gharn growls at Ali*
Gharn: Shut up and get ready to fight.

*Denny sighs, and nods*
D: ...I...Thank you...Just don't go, okay?

~

*Maiev sighs, and looks at Kara*
M: Please don't let him monologue.

~

*Izriel floats behind Rita, and puts a hand on her shoulder*
Stop. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement. Don't rush, and let Kara deal with it. We will help when we can.

~

*Jordan is still in the gym taking out her frustrations*

OOC I didn't say have a sook about it. You bitching now just means that me and ZK have to retcon our characters reactions.

Rita: I should have the kill... what he did... I'll-I'll..
*Rita hyperventilates for a moment, then nods.*
Rita: You're right...
*Debates on shooting Ali.*

----
*Jake manages to smile at Denny.*
Jake: I ain't going anywhere.. don't you worry about that.
*He squeezes her hand and retains his smile.*

*Gharn nods*
Gharn: The kill should be yours, but first we've got to beat him.


*Billy pokes his head into the gym and grins*
Billy: Oh! There ya are! Hi!

*Leo kisses Scatty on the cheek*

*She smiles as she eats the salmon whole*

*Blake stands up and wanders into the lounge and rests*

Good. Think with your head, Rita, not your dick emotions.
*Smiles, still not noticing the downed veil*

~

*Jordan turns and looks at Billy, drops the 10 tonne weight, which dents the floor, and runs up to Billy to hug him*

~

*Denny nods, sighs, and closes her eye*
D: That was my good eye. The one I used to shoot.

*Billy is very very glad Jordan dropped the weight well away from him and hugs her tight while laughing*
Billy: Miss me?


*Gharn shrugs and smiles slightly*
Gharn: Thinking is good in planning, but in a fight instinct takes over. But let's end the talking, and find the demon

[Perron looks up] ... [Stands up and hugs Wade] ...thank you. For saving Denny.
And, I heard what you went through when that... thing was talking to you. I'm sorry.
Even if it doesn't bother you, it's wrong that she invaded you like that.

[Steps back] [Looks down at self] Hobo chic, no? [Half smiles]
[Looks away, embarrassed that he can't glamour the burn scars off]

[Commissar listens attentively and then nods] That sounds amazing, thank you so much Cal.

*Cal smiles and waves away the thanks*
Cal: Oh don't worry about. It's my job after all, and Horus is the one who made the implant, I just install them. Anyways, you'll be feeding yourself soon enough.
Just lay down, take off your shirt and whatnot, and I'll put you under to get started. It'll only take a few hours.
*He calls a few nurses in to aide him as he preps everything*


*Horus walks into the bar. (There's a joke in there somewhere...)*

Oh, Rita. You wouldn't be this way if you had stayed. I had told you that my home was better for you.
*distant wails can be heard*
Now I know that I have to break you, before I can save you.

*various demons appear from rifts in the walls, some being scantily clad humanoids with horns and tails, robed figures with glowing eyes, or the spriggan-like creatures that appeared before*

*Ali's giggling turns to full on laughter*
Ali: Give in now, and it might be quicker.

*Kara's eyes widen*
K: Maker...
*hurls a fireball at the nearest demon(s)*

*behind the demons, a grinning grotesque figure appears*
This can only be seem firsthand. I hope you feel honored by that.

*Wade smiles and puts an arm around Perron*
DP: I'll be fine. And so will you. And hey, scars can be very sexy, if yoy wear them right.

*Backhands Ali, summons spear, but doesn't move in to fight*
...

~

*Maiev scowls, and throws fireballs of her own*
M: That's a lot of them.

~

*Jordan nods, and picks up Billy with ease*
*Continues hugging him*
J: Response: Yes.

OOC:
I'm sorry but I'm trying to figure out ways to actually try to salvage relations between your characters and mine and I didn't want to feth my new characters relationship with any of yours so soon. Plus I'm going to bed soon to recover from my super early start and I didn't want to leave anyone hanging.

Honestly maybe just PM me so we can work out our issues, I don't want to clutter this thread up any more than I already did

Ambush! Novus, cover me!
*Whitakker pulls a spherical frag grenade off his belt and hurls it into the mass of demons*
*Copfyer begins firing accurate kinetic pentrators into the heads of demons*

*Rita nods, and just takes long breaths.*
Rita: I'll be fine.. like Gharn said, let's find the bastard. *Does her best to ignore Languor.*
*She opens fire at Ali with her Volt, but maintains her position.*

----
*Jake nods.*
Jake: Damn that creature for what it did to you...
*He looks thoughtfully at her.*
Jake: I can help you learn to shoot with your other eye..

*Gharn unslings his blade, and wielding it with his good arm, starts swinging left and right at anything that comes close to him, Izriel or Rita*


*Billy makes a surprised noise*
Billy: Woah!
*He grins*
Billy: I guess you really did! What'd you do while I was gone?

*Copfyer notices Ali's insanity, fires an unceremonious kinetic penetrator through his forehead, and then whirls around to continue firing into the demons*

OOC There isn't a problem. You just need to know when and where is the good time.

Bic *Blinks at everyone firing at Ali, and glares at both Rita and the Agent*

~

D: I...I think I want to learn on my own, if that's alright...

~

*Jordan shrugs*
J: Response: I stayed in here.

OOC:
True. I'll work on it, I promise.

*demons ignore the casualties and press onwards at the group*
*Kara hurls a rock through the group, pummeling into those that don't dodge it*

*Ali got fething rekt while giggling hysterically. 2016-2016*

*Terror demon teleports right in front of Kara and slashes at her throat, too close for Kara to use her sword properly*

*Languor quietly watches from the back of the room, standing behind the altar while smiling*

*Gharn doesn't see Ali get rekt or Kara under attack and instead continues attempting to protect Izriel and Rita*
*Is slowly being pushed back and wounded lightly*


*Billy looks surprised*
Billy: The whole time? Woah. Did you find anythin' out?

*Rita then turns her attention to the incoming demons.*
*She fires at them in short controlled bursts, and does not notice Izriel's glare.*

---
*Jake smiles and nods.*
Jake: That's fine, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quick... You thirsty or anything?

*Copfyer rips his Lumine Blade up, right into the neck of the demon attacking Kara*
*He extracts the blade and kicks the demon in the stomach, the exoskeleton-reinforced kick launching the corpse back several meters*
*Whitakker throws another grenade, and then begins firing kinetic penetrators into the demons*

OOC:
I'm just gonna go to bed. I got some stuff to think about

*Maiev stands close to Kara, and tries to not let any other demons get close to her cause I'm a slow ass typer*

~

*Izriel sighs, and floats close to Gharn and Rita, poking any demons that come close with her spear*
*It's a very sharp poke*

~

*Denny shakes her head*
D: I'm fine. Thanks...I just need to rest.

~

*Jordan shrugs*
J: No.

Billy: Aww, I'm sorry
*Looks it*


*Gharn is still hacking and slashing viciously. His stance is almost like that of a fencer as he lops off the head of one demon then stabs another through the skull*

[Perron smiles weakly] I'm the literal embodiment of pride, Wade. Even if I believe you, I'm not allowed to admit it.
I guess we all have things we won't let ourselves concede.

[Commissar looks uneasy] Will anaesthetic work if I have a blood filter in my bionics? My lung and other bionics remove drugs and toxins...

[Removes shirt with Sam's help, revealing a mess of bruising and scarring, some surgical, some clearly not, along with a rebuilt shoulder and Aquila tattoo across his collar bone]
[Sam looks surprised and then smiles] I can see your fuzzy tummy.
[Commissar laughs, forgetting to be embarrassed] You daft bastard...
[Sam kisses his forehead] I expect a story for each of these. Now rest, and let Cal do his work.

*staggers back as the demon gets a glancing blow (still momentum and all, and a knife to the neck wouldn't insta kill it), covering her wound*
*chain lightnings the demons and falls behind the melee line*
Fething Maker...

*Desire Demon trio reaches Gharn and Co and slashes at them with thin blades yet wicked blades*

*Rage demon pummels its way towards the agents roaring angrily as it moves*

*Wade nods*
DP: You got shanked by Skyrim Chick, that succubus broad ain't nothin'. So, you want me to get you some ice cream or something? I'll be quick.

*Jordan shrugs and puts Billy down*
J: Good. You left me.

~

*Maiev gasps, and fething loses it*
*Looks at the Novus guy, smiles, and drains him of all life*
*Fires fire everywhere*
