*Horus stares at Maria*
Horus: We have very, very different traditions....

*maria*

No skull? What you use to top a tree.... A
Its a festive skull with lights, tinsle and such...

Its fun...

*marla*
Aye... The roast grox... Family, ceramonial chainsword to cut the meat and the always left emptey plate and Chair for the omisaigh/god empror...

We all have our little traditions...

*Leo helps Scatty with the cookies*

*Doesn't really know what she is doing but eventually gets the hang of it*

Leo: Huh. Not to much different from drawing.

*Leo starts drawing detailed monster heads on the cookies*

*Dria looks impressed*
Dria: Wow! Are those things you hunt?

*Scatty looks down at a cookie that was supposed to be a tree but ended up looking somehow like a gremlin*
Scatty: I think I'm bad at this....


*Horus nods*
Horus: No skull, no chainsword. Normally the tradition for us is to plant a sapling, then in a years time burn it. It signifies the beginning and the end of life.

*Leo smiles and nods to Dria*

Leo: Yep.

*Leo points to a few and names them*

Leo: That one is a Rathalos. That one is a Lagiacrus, like Larry. And that one is a Tigrex.

*Dria looks at the Tigrex*
Dria: I like that one... are there any that are nice like mister Larry?

Leo: Not that I have met. Tho not all of them try to eat you on sight.

*Leo flicks her tongue and goes pink hoping nobody noticed*

*She continues drawing on other cookies*

*Maria relaxed keeping a eye out for threats*

Guess we have to mix UNSC... Terran, Martian, impirium, eldar, and many other traditions into one...

We can make own kinda holiday event...

*marks nods*
Yep.. Once we get milo... Everyone's home... *smiles slightly*

*Quetz raises a eyebrow as to why Leo's gone pink*


*Scatty kisses Leo's cheek*
Scatty: I'm going to go check in to see if there's any news, okay? I'll be in my room if you want me


*Quetz and Iris supervise the twins for a while before they get bored and go off to play with Twilly*


*Iris goes to the shooting range with her bow*


*Quetz goes to watch the twins play hide and seek with Twilly*


*Horus get's NPC'd if needed*

*Leo nods and watches Scatty walk off*

Leo: Ok cya later.

*Smiles at her pile of monster cookies*

*Steps through the portal and screams*

*Leo eventually heads into the lounge*

*walks out of the medbay with Maiev in her arms, looking fatigued*
*heads off to their room and immediately crashes when she lays down*

*Looks down at the three black-armored corpses outside the rift*
Fething waste... what threat could be large enough to warrant three agents and multiple room-dwellers, and get all the agents killed?
*Disassembles Copfyer's helmet and looks at his face, completely devoid of life*
*Suddenly interrupted by Razezos, who came running at the sight of Department corpses*
Bastards... message from Department command. For me. Not classified in any way, so take a look if you want. Best thing that could come out of this damn expedition.
*He hands a piece of paper without corners to Verdai*

*space wolves walk out at hearing the room become active with yarl and several others making sure its not trouble*

*one carrying a combo bolter bagpipe*

...
*yarl*
What happening out here... Dead ..
*space wolves scan entrences for incoming and see if trouble coming back*

Letter of commendation... congratulations on the promotion.
I'm not proud. It's promotion by Darwin.
Anyway...
Contributions to the field of extradimensional research and containment... signed Ikyas Temafyin, Administrator, Extradimensional Research Division. Interesting.

*Rita nods to Gharn, but doesn't return the smile.*
Rita: Yeah... we got him..
*She watches over Izriel, looking concerned.*

----
*Jake nods to Perron.*
Jake: I will.. Long days and pleasant nights to you Perron.

*Leo sits in the lounge watching TV and pulling off old scales*

Leo: Great... I'm shedding...

*Leo stands up and heads towards the showers*

*space wolves shrug and sit on sofas that grown and start watching blood bowl with large tankards of ale disagreeing loudly over a decision on if the fatality deserves a change in possession *

....

*Marla and Maria go off with Horus and continue tracking milo*

...

*marilania climbs out pool and goes back to room and sits in a bikini om observation deck just sat in front of a large window watching stars*

*Leo peels off her old scales while in the shower*

*She struggles pulling the last of it off of her tail*

*Leo moans quietly in the showers*

Leo: Ohmygod...

*Sits up slowly*
Ow.

*Maiev rolls over*
M: ...Ow.

*Joalia skips out of the dome in reindeer ears, and goes around the room, putting up Christmas decorations and glittering everything*
*Stops by Santiago in the lounge and jumps onto is lap*

*immediately sits up and looks at Maiev*
Kadan? How are you feeling?

*Santiago smiles and kisses Joalia*
S: (Hey Joal. Where'd you find the ears?)

*Nods sadly*
Do you need help getting the corpses through the portal? I can levitate them through.
No. We have drones on that. Can you please... help us? Work on something that makes us less... ineffective against extradimensionals. Those were good men.
*Verdai nods again and turns to leave*
You have my word.

*Rita stands up immediately, walks to Izriels bedside, and puts a hand on Izriel's shoulder.*
Rita: Izriel... rest... Is Lyr here? She needs to see you..
*She has her helm in the crook her arm, and her armors lights are all blue again.*

*space wolves shrug*

Eh.. Throw a few dozen round here.. Wait. If they live there good.

The rest failed and dies and are obviously sub par...

Its how you pick a space marine. Survivial of the toughest.

*Leo slowly finishes cleaning herself*

Leo: ...

*Leo dries herself and gets dressed*

*She then heads to the lounge*

If she was, she would be here. She must still be out.
*Continues trying to sit up*
How you holding up? Get the demon?

*Maiev winces, and looks at Kara, still quite pale*
M: Better now that I see that you're okay.

~

*Joalia smiles and nuzzles against Santiago*
Joal: (In Amelia's box. It was in a place labelled 'furries'. What does that mean?)

*Verdai turns to the Space Wolves*
...Who are you talking to and what are you talking about?

*Rita nods.*
Rita: He is dead.. it's over.
*She sighs silently.*
Rita: I'm managing. Should be fine though.

*Mason is drinking at the bar.*

*kisses Maiev and smiles at her*
Cal did a good job. I'm just glad that you're alright.

*Santiago's mouth falls open slightly*
S: (Amelia... It's an attraction to furry things.)
