[IC] The Room

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris walks outside to get some sun and dry off after another shower, only to turn black and green with a combination of fear and revulsion at the sight of the bodies*
Iris: Oh Danu! What's happened?!

*Silvan waits patiently in the main room, sitting in the corner on the ground*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter looks over at Iris, notices her changing skin color, and takes a deep breath*
Lecter: Short version, they attacked us. Longer version, they wanted to execute that Mergoux woman, because she's some sort of vigilante. Mergoux took a bit, but she'll live. Only other casualties were these people.

*Karma looks up from her meal to stare at Iris*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris's skin ripples between black and green in a mesmerizing fashion*
Iris: Oh Danu... what happened to that man's head?! Urk! Ugh! I'm gonna-
*She claps her hands over her mouth and runs inside towards a bathroom*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter shakes his head as Iris runs off*
Lecter: A blade can do a lot of things.
*looks over at Karma and sighs slightly*
Lecter: She's no Devil. Scent was off.

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian frowns, and walks inside. Doesn't seem to mind Merg's glare.*
*Takes apart her magnum, and cleans her it on the table.*
Jillian: Another bloody day.*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna slowly walks out of her room and looks around*

*She stiffens at the smell of the blood but forces herself into the main room*

Hanna: I-Iris where a-a-are you?

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris comes out of a bathroom, still looking a little green and hears Hanna calling for her*
Iris: Oh! Hanna over here!
*SHe walks towards the sound of Hanna's voice*

*Mergoux wakes up grogily and does her daily morning routine before stepping outside her room, helmet on and in half-armor. She walks to the kitchen to get something to eat*

*Silvan notices her and stands up from his corner to follow her*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna heads towards Iris's voice*

Hanna: W-what happened? W-why is t-there blood?

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter stands up with a grunt and heads into the kitchen to get food*
*The Devil Hunter nods to Jillian and Mergoux as he does so*
Lecter: Think those knights will have friends that will come looking for them?

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian shrugs.*
Jillian: I'm not worried about them, they can't do much to us... the whole swords and armor thing isn't much of a threat.
*She pats her trusty magnum, and grins.*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter smirks slightly and nods*
Lecter: Agreed. I prefer my blades over bullets, but they are useful.
*slips his duster open enough to reveal a modified M1911 strapped to his side*
Lecter: If anymore show up, they won't be staying long I imagine.
*looks out a window and sighs*
Lecter: Better than a Devil any day.

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian nods approvingly, and returns the grin.*
Jillian: Very nice, and yes I doubt they will show up again.
*She rolls herself a cigarette, and kicks back in her chair.*
Jillian: So these devils are some kind of demon?

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux looks over at Lecter and Jillian and nods once*
Mergoux: Oh bound to be. I'm a 'Dangerous Fanatic' after all.
*She finishes eating as Silvan walks up to her and bows. She frowns at him from under her helmet*
Mergoux: Dont... don't do that. Don't bow, it's too formal.
*Silvan nods apologetically*
Silvan: I'm sorry Lady Th- Mergoux. I just wanted to talk to you. You served in the Kriegshold guard at one point yes?
*Mergoux looks over at him sharply*
Mergoux: Yes... why?
*She seems cautious*

*Outside, the rotting bodies of the knights begin to change. The blood, already putrifying from the sun, starts turning black and viscous*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter nods*
Lecter: Devils are demons. They come from Hell, and almost all of them are monsters. Figuratively and literally. Luckily, most of them can be killed easily, if you know how to do it.

*Karma stares at the changing bodies and flies onto a nearby branch, and she continues to watch them*

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian frowns.*
Jillians: Creatures from hell you say. Well glad they can be easily slain.
*She keeps smoking her cigarette.*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter nods*
Lecter: If you know how, that is. I've been hunting Devils for a long time, someone without my experience might not think it's so easy.
*he smirks slightly*
Lecter: It also helps to have a few eyes in the sky, to watch your back for you.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Silvan nods to Mergoux*
Silvan: Then you served with my Grandfather? Andor Brengest?
*Mergoux nods, Silvan asks some questions, basically wanting to hear stories of his old granddad from the only living person who really knew him*

*One of the corpses stirs, it's eyes glow a sickly yellow and it sits up, black ooze dripping sluggishly from the stab wound in it's neck*
*Two of the others begin to stir, but Anderson's remains unmoving*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter quietly listens to Mergoux's conversation, but also eats a belated breakfast so it doesn't seem like he's eavesdropping as much*

*Karma watches the undead, her black eyes taking everything in*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux tells a few tales of a squad of soldiers fighting in a war against Orcs. From eavesdropping Lecter can probably pick up that she was a Sergeant in command of the squad, and that she lost most of it in a raid on a bandit fortress.*
Silvan: And that's when-
*Mergoux nods*
Mergoux: I was discharged... stripped of rank and sent packing. Never looked back. The army gave me some valuable skills, that's for sure, but I don't miss it. As for your Granddad, he was a good man. When did he die?
Silvan: About 30 years back, when I was a boy.
*Mergoux nods and they chat a bit about Silvan's grandfather some more before Silvan thanks her and turns to leave*

*Iris walks over to Hanna, smiles weakly and hugs her*
Iris: There was a fight apparently... I was just about to go ask Horus if he could clean up the bodies so it wouldn't bother you.. Would you like to come along?

*The Undead look around, get up and head towards the door, walking stiffly and robotically*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter eats in silence, stowing this new information away for later use*

*Karma gives a shrill cry and flies into the Room, crashing through a window in the process, and immediately heads towards Lecter without hesitation*
