*Rita keeps watching the Tv, and awkwardly wrings her hands.*
*She suddenly gets up, and shivers slightly.*
Rita: HEY. IZRIEL. CAN I USE YOUR BATHROOM.

I never quite got the hang of actually understanding them... my two theories are that they don't exist and anything that supposedly "appeases" them is all placebo effect and confirmation bias, or that they're some form of rudimentary artifical intelligence.

Beyond that I can't help you, the Mechanicus are the ones who truly understand the spirits, or at the very least they know more than the Astartes

YES.
*Points to the direction of the bathroom*

The Mechanicus will shoot me. Repeatedly, and then probably incinerate the corpse and chuck the ashes into a fusion reactor. From my time in the Mechanicus, I can confirm they know nothing. They worship things without understanding them.

*Rita gets up, and walks rapidly into the restroom.*
*She closes the door behind her, and then begins to pace.*
Ride: What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do... What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...What'd I do...

*Gharn still looks annoyed as he feels he's being lied to and that's a no no among his culture*



*Onyx growls and shakes himself*
Onyx: Finally... a real opponent


*Billy drinks coffee and indulges Dria by allowing himself to be sketched again*


*Scatty groans, and drags Amelia away*

*Leo blasts fire at Onyx again*

*She walks towards him while she spews flame*

*Her eyes are a bright orange*

*looks up at Maiev and smiles*
I think I've earned my sleep now.

*Santiago shakes his head*
S: (We'll have to try something else. This won't get us anywhere, besides causing you unnecessary stress. The best option might be to watch every movie with Predators in them, for now.)

*Doesn't notice Gharn pouting, and stares at the T.V. screen, but doesn't actually watch anything*

~

*Maiev nods, and pulls up Kara*
*Kisses Kara without thinking, and turns on a fan with her tail*

~

*Joalia nods fearfully, then tries to not cry*
Joal: (O-Okay...)

~

*Jordan is still looking for a gift cause I still haven't thought of one yet*

*Rita sits on the sink, and silently thinks for a bit.*
*She sighs, walks out of the bathroom, and stands there awkwardly.*
Rita: ER...ER... DONE.
*Rita then sits back on the bed, and resumes staring at the Tv.*

*I shrug*
That's all I have.

OOC:
I'm about to pass out. Sorry

*Onyx rolls out of the way of the fireball, then growls and charges at Leo, trying to leap ontop of her and tear at her face with his claws*


*Gharn watches the TV, still kinda annoyed*

*Leo jumps into the air and hovers*

*She starts shooting fire balls at Onyx (Fairly inaccurately)*

*Stares at Rita while she walks back to the T.V.*
*Swallows and tries to not stare*
*Fails*

~

*Jordan eventually finds a gift, and starts wrapping it*
*Fails wrapping*
*Sits in the corner and watches a Youtube video on how to wrap a gift*

*Rita notices Izriel's stare, and reddens.*
*Sits with a exhale, and crosses arms.*
Rita: YOU GUYS ENJOYING THIS.
*She shivers slightly, then resumes watching the movie.*

*Dria finishes her sketch, hugs Billy and walks off*


*Onyx changes tactic and runs to attack Scatty, dodging fireballs as he goes*
*Scatty grimaces and pulls out her one sword she managed to recover and keeps dragging Amelia with her free hand*


*Gharn looks between Izriel and Rita, not really annoyed any more, but curious as to what they would keep from him*
Gharn: The first one is better...

Uhh...Yes, I am. Maybe we should do something else? I uhh...Can teach you both how to make cake...
*Shifts uncomfortably*

*Leo stops shooting fire balls then dive bombs towards Onyx*

*Rita nods her head.*
Rita: YES. *coughs.* Yeah.. that sounds good.
*She shivers slightly.*
Rita: I'm down for whatever... *To Gharn.* I still like this one though.. but the first is the best.

*Nods, and smiles awkwardly*
Okay, let's go.
*Takes Gharn's hand and starts pulling him out of the room, then pauses, and takes Rita's hand*
*Pulls them both to the kitchen*

*Gharn goes along*


*Billy and Morri are sitting in the kitchen talking over coffee*


*Scatty keeps dragging Amy*


*Onyx waits until the last second then sidesteps trying to make Leo slam into the ground*

*Leo slams into the ground*

*She stands up and looks at Onyx*

*She roars and charges him*

*Rita lets herself get dragged away.*
*Awkwardly looks down the whole time.*

*returns the kiss and rests against Maiev*
Mmm... Goodnight, Kadan.

*Santiago kisses the top of Joalia's head*
S: (You'll make it through this. I'm right here.)

*Gets to the kitchen and waves to everyone present*
*Starts getting the gak together*
Okay...Mix these together...

~

*Maiev cuddles Kara hard, and happily sighs*
M: Goodnight Kara.

~

*Joalia nods and stays scared*
Joal: (Th-Thank you...)

*Onyx ducks again and gets behind Leo, then grabs a wing and pulls hard*


*Gharn nods and does as he's told*
Gharn: So what are we making again?

*Rita stands off to the side watching intently.*
*She smiles awkwardly, and continues wringing her hands.*
Rita: We are making cake.

Uhhh...
*Trying to not think about the kiss(es)*
We...We can do just some uhh...Banana cake!
*Gets out the ingredients, and starts showing how to make said cake*

*Leo wing membrane tear and sh roars in pain*

*Her eyes slowly turn a brighter shade of red and she backs herself into a tree*
