*Leo looks out the kitchen door*

*Sees Gort*

Leo: The feth is that thing still here?

*marla*

Can you two not kill each other?
Given the things trying to kill us outside here. We probably need both of you.

*fluffy lays making sure Marla not hurt being a protective wolf quietly *

*Nods slowly*
You are an impressive person. Not many people could keep him stable.
I hope he returns soon... I hope he speaks to you. I think he needs it, honestly.
So, tell me about yourself. Who are you? I don't want to think about you solely in the context of him.
*Slight smile*

*Scatty frowns*
Scatty: What thing? Oh, that thing. What is that anyways?
*Frowns at Gort*


*Dria slowly wakes up and tries getting out from nuzzles*
*Fails and lies back resignedly*


*Huitz walks into the kitchen, nods to Leo and smiles at Scatty*
Huitz: Good morning Scatty, Leo, Roland?! I didn't know you were back!
Scatty: Morning Grandfather!
*She smiles but still stays by Leo.*

*Gort looks up at Leo*
G: Rocks. Witcherses nice. Dragonses not.
*looks at Scatty*
G: Gort troll. Rock troll.

*Ciri nods to Santiago.*
Ciri: We will fix this.. she will be alright. I will try and find ways to heal her...
*She turns to the brewing fight between the commissars, and sighs. Then sees Leo yelling at Gort.*
Ciri: Leo, he is Gort. Be nice, all he wants is rocks!

----

*Roland nods to Huitz.*
Roland: Hello Huitz, it is good to see you again!

*Leo flips Gort the bird and heads into the lounge*

Leo: Whatsss going on in here?

*Remus sleeps next to Dria having tired himself out*

*I shift into a more comfortable position*
Well, where to begin? As I told you the other day I am a Farseer for Craftworld Ulthwe. It is my job to look at the skein of fate to determine what is the best course for the Eldar. The Path of the Seer is not an easy one, every touch can give us a vision of what might be, good or bad. Thus most Farseers avoid too much contact with others, seeing the potential deaths of friends, mates, and children is a terrible burden to bear.
*I pause as I gather my thoughts*
Growing up I lost my parents when I was little due to a conflict with the forces of Chaos, so I was raised along with my cousin's family. My cousin didn't show much psychic potential, but she was an amazing artist, so until I was called to the Path of the Seer I enjoyed making art alongside her. I still do enjoy making art on the side, but with my added duties as a Seer chances to do so are few and far between...

Oh... that's sad... at least you had someone who loved you... it must be sad seeing the future. So much death... the Computers can predict the future up to about a month ahead... but not the extent that you can.

*Gort frowns and mimics Leo before facing Ciri*
G: What this mean?

*Santiago nods*
S: I hope so.
*Santiago more than likely looks pretty dead inside*

*Scatty grabs a smoothie and follows Leo*
Scatty: That's a good question... what's going on in-
*Sees Commissar Nick and glares*
Scatty: Oh, I see the problem


*Dria gets up and pats Remus before going to the kitchen*


*Huitz nods to Roland*
Huitz: I didn't realize you were back. Good to see you

We can see nearly every potential future, and what events might lead to that particular event. Not all at once mind you, but we can see what might be.
*I sigh*
As I said, it makes it difficult to want to join with someone or have children if you can foresee their death. Oddly enough, I can see very little involving Verdai. It's almost like Fate doesn't know what to do with him

*Ciri frowns.*
Ciri: That is a gesture for... being friends!
*She smiles happily.*
Ciri: Only gesture that to people who are your friend.

----

*Roland smiles.*
Roland: Good to see you too, how have you been?

*Remains silent for a bit*
I'm not surprised... we're taught that fate doesn't exist. That everyone's actions choose their path. The idea of fate is... depressing.
Hmm... that's odd... I don't know why that would be.

*Marla relaxes as the room busy and not butting into somthibf private and just watches avatar*

...

*fluffy smells a scent and wanders to kitchen as Dira reconises but not entirely due to aging and looks at het head slightly cocked to one side weighing up the change*

...

*marinalia relaxes on ship reading and sat looking over planet as reading a ancient text translation, machaveli*

*leans back on a cusionnreading in a robe*

*Gort looks surprised*
G: Dragonses Gort friend?
*continues to flip Ciri off*
G: Witcherses rocks Gort give.

*Santiago sighs*
S: I need to get Joalia some food. I've already been gone for too long.
*heads into the kitchen to make something fr Joalia*

*Leo looks down at Scatty*

Leo: Yeah no kidding.

*Her tongue flicks*

That's the thing Miritas. The skein of fate only tells us what MIGHT be, not necessarily what will happen. People change their minds all the time, so do all the potential futures. To a point your teachers were right, but Fate does exist. I was trained to alter the skein of fate in battle to bring fortune to my allies and misfortune to my foes

Well, Sam, pleasure to hear from you again.

*commissar smirked in amusement*

*Scatty quickly looks away*


*Huitz nods to Santiago*
Huitz: Good morning.
*He's suddenly hugged by Dria*
Dria: Morning Gruncle Huitz! Hi Uncle Santiago!
*Huitz smiles and hugs back then looks at Roland*
Huitz: As you can see, I've been good!

[Sam looks confused] "Again"? I'm not aware of any conversation.
[CBC looks up] ..?

*Santiago nods and goes to make food*
S: Hey Dria. Welcome back.

*Ciri nods to Santiago.*
Ciri: Let me know if you need any help.
*She smiles at Gort, but doesn't flip him off.*
Ciri: Do you need more rocks?
---

*Roland nods with understanding and drinks his coffee. He notices Santiago, and smiles.*
Roland: Santiago?! Well met, it is I Roland.

*Nods thoughtfully*
Good. I'm glad. No existential crises here. Your abilities make me... feel... not envious... secure. I'm glad you will help us.

*The Library warps into orbit of the Room-world*

*I nod serenely*
Can't have an existential crisis today, now can we? I'm glad I'm here too.
*I pause and my gaze shoots upwards*
*my brow furrows in concentration then I smile*
My ship in orbit reports that the Library has entered our orbit

*commissar used his distraction to get out of Sam's reach and shrugged*

Just wanted to make sure you didn't have anything planned. Now if you will excuse me. I'm going to sit down and watch a movie.

*Marla decides to head to bed and fluffy follows her soon after sleeping in repressor living room*
*Marla cuddles up to milo and feels happier and warm*

..

*marlania goes to sleep after abit and bracelet buzzs once as it detects a libiary but linked to Marias ship*

*curls in a big bed and fallas asleep happily*

Ooc night.

*Maria takes over med bay night cover shift watching the moniters*

Excellent. I look forward to speaking with him. I'll tell him you're here first.
*Sends a message up*
Now... I am going to rest for a bit. I hope your conversation is enlightening.
*Exits*

*Verdai teleports down, clean but still smelling of chocolate mousse*

*I raise an immaculate eyebrow at Verdai's entrance*
*I smell the chocolate and cock my head*
Dare I ask why you smell like you've been bathing in chocolate?

*Gort shakes his head*
G: Humanses rock pile Gort show. Big rocks.

*Santiago smiles slightly and nods in greeting*
S: Roland, welcome back.
*sees his missing arm and frowns*
S: No one can get a lucky break, it seems. What happened?
