*Shrugs*
Sure, why not? What's it lead to?

I'll show you...
*I grab Verdai's hand and lead him through the portal*
*we are inside a dome and inside a forest, except the trees seem to be made of Crystal*

*Looks around in awe at the beauty of the dome*
...Dome of crystal seers, I presume...

You presume correctly. You are the first human to ever see this place, I thought it appropriate given all you have done for me and the Eldar.

*Horus pins Gort with a foot to his chest*
Horus: I don't know, I'm sure we can arrange something, however, think it best to call the stomp here. I've defeated you.

*Looks around, enraptured by the beauty of the place*
I...
*Complete loss of words*
I've seen photos, but...
...
...
...
Wow.
...I should have dressed up for this...

*Gort grumbles*
G: Gort still fight. Gort strong.

*Rita comes back with a chessboard, and set up the models.*
Rita: So you know how to play, right?

---

*Flagg smiles at Scatty, then turns to Leo.*
Flagg: Leo! I have a job for you! Can you do that for me?

*I smile softly*
You're fine Verdai, the Ancients will understand that you weren't exactly thinking of looking dapper when I dragged you through the portal

*Horus presses down harder*
Horus: I won Gort, now give up and lets see if we can find a way for you to pay me back for all the damage you've done


*Gharn blinks and examines a Knight*
Gharn: The pieces are odd... but yes, though I wasn't ever that good.


*Scatty sits back looking terrified for Leo*

*Gort frowns*
G: Pay? For what?
*doesn't seem to be bothered by the extra force*

Absolutely beautiful...
*Still looking around, in awe*
I could have at least taken off the exoskeleton... I must say that I look like I fell through the portal from a battlefield.
*Laughs*
Now... neural implant setting... Kalinin Aqua. Just to help me keep focused on the scenery.

*Leo is trembling*

Leo: A j-job?... W-w-what kind of job?

*Her tail twitches and she starts to rise*

*Maggie growls at Scatty and claws the ground in front of her*

*I chuckle*
The dome has seen far worse in its time. It held the Avatar of Khaine for a short time a few decades ago. If the Avatar of the God of War was permitted here than you should be fine

*Respectfully stays on the path, gazing at the crystal trees*
I've... never seen anything so... beautiful...

[In the Fade]
*A lone warrior in black armor stands over the crippled form of an old robed man. The warrior slowly draws his sword while looking down at the man, who raises an arm to block the blow and begins to beg.*
No... Haven't you done enough to me? To my empire?
*The warrior shakes his head and pitches the sword through the man's gut*
Enough of your lies, creature. But don't worry, I won't destroy you. You don't deserve the mercy. You're mine now.
*The warrior grins, exposing his rotted teeth. As he does so, the old man seems to age further, yet manages a grim smile of his own*
I knew I could change you. Not an angel anymore, Harador. You're the same as what I am.

*I smile happily*
This is a place of peace, I thought we could stay here for a little while and recover

Yes... please. It's a wonderful place to rest. Are there benches here? I'd like to sit down. I've been... standing, for hours.
*Closes eyes and leans back slightly, breathing in the air*

*I gesture with one hand and a bench springs up from the ground*
They're kept tucked away when not in use...

I need to sleep... I just realized. System must have been flooded with adrenaline... I hope nobody minds if I just appropriate this bench... goodnight. We can share... don't mind.
*Sits down on the bench, and dozes off sitting down*

OOC: Goodnight.

*Commissar would be flipping through Vitanis sketchbook, moping about*

...

*Rita shrugs.*
Rita: That is a knight piece. I will refresh you don't worry.
*Starts setting up the chess pieces.*

----

*Flagg smiles, and pats Leo's head.*
Flagg: I want you to kill a angel... specifically Lyr... what she did to my body... is unacceptable.

*Leo's eye twitches*

Leo: K-kill her!?...

*Leo looks extremely conflicted*

Leo: B-but ssshe'sss... A-alright... I'll do it... But promise me you won't hurt Ssscatty!?

*Leo's eyes are fluctuating between orange and yellow*

*Flagg nods.*
Flagg: That's right. Kill her. And as long as Scatty is a good little bitch, we won't have a problem!
*Smile broadens under his cloak.*

*The black armored warrior calmly walks away from the old man's still form*
Gone at last, demon. Now, it's time to see what my old friends are up to.
*the warrior steps through a Fade rift and disappears*

*Leo hisses at Flagg*

Leo: Don't call her that!

*Maggie pushes Leo down to the floor and snarls at her*

*Scatty glares up at Flagg*
Scatty: That's right, don't call me that.
*She moves in a burst of speed, ramming one of her swords through the place where a normal heart would be, and a long knife at the back of Flagg's head*
Scatty: LEO RUN! GET JAKE AND ROLAND!


*Horus gestures around*
Horus: These are special rocks, and you broke them. They need fixing and that costs... erm... you know what money is? Gold? Doubloons?


*Gharn nods and goes on to whip Rita in chess, to his own great surprise*
Gharn: I... did not think I was that good...

OOC: MY POWER WENT OUT. I AM BOTH ANGRY AND SORRY

*Rita is blood drunk, but I would imagine a Lieutenant of the 6-4 should be a hell of a adversary in chess...*
Rita: I must be getting rusty!
*Giggles.*

---
*Flagg sighs at the blade sticking in his chest, and his head.*
Flagg: Scatty... you being a bad bitch.
*Flagg turns and faces Scatty holding a strange vile in his hands.*
Flagg: Show me your moves!
*smashes the vile on Scattys face*
*The Primm water quickly grabs it's new host, and begins to engulf her.*

*Blue is looking for Leo, so she's flying through the forest*

~

*Izy stirs, gets dressed, and smiles to herself*
*Happy to have Rita by her side, so she goes to find her*

~

*Lyr is chillaxing on the couches*

*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: I guess... Play again?



*Scatty falls back screaming as she changes*
*She grows six inches taller, her torso expands, muscles becoming more prominent*
*She spasms and screams again her clothes tightening around her larger form, the belts of the sheathes she wears over her back cutting into her chest*
