[IC] The Room

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter grunts as the creatures disappears, and shifts back to his human form*
Lecter: Back to the Room. Now.
*The Devil Hunter takes the lead again, double timing it back to the Room*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus got hit by the red beams. What do*

*Mergoux is out of it*

*Halia looks slightly awed at Lecter*
Halia: W-what power...

*Jimmy looks at John, sniffs and then points at Walter the bug*
Jimmy: Oi! You! You seein' that giant grasshopper lookin' motherf*$#er over there mate?!

*The trio keep shooting stuff*

[PrinceAlexus]

*the Officer looks round and internally face palms tired from force walking his armour*
(raiders, muties, stim head maybe... All ot needs is the ghouls and its the DC metro all over again)

Got any ghouls round here to add to complete set?
Id take those feral scum over whatever that storm is right now...

*keeps hand near his full auto Las piatol*

So where the hell am i, and how on earth did i get here from the Capital Wasteland?

[LemonZest1337]

*Walter sighs again and looks at Jimmy*

Walter: (I know humans are stupid... But this one seems. Extremely stupid...)

----

*Hanna rubs her shoulder*

Hanna: Are you sure? I c-could just get them to l-leave...

[Overlord Thraka]

*Jimmy looks at the bug again*
Jimmy: Oi! Starship Troopers! What the bloody f*$%in' hell are ya!?
*He's pulled out a mask*

*Iris pauses then nods*
Iris: Well... I suppose we could ask politely... Come on.
*She stands and starts heading towards the kitchen*

*Rust gets down as the others are forced back away from him and can't get to him*
Bain: Rust has been taken into custody!

[PrinceAlexus]

*Officer looks over and mantains composure*

Major Augustus Autumn, Enclave Capital wasteland sector, Washington DC formerly before nukes fell.

Crash landed here. Something to do with that storm, was on a mission against the Brotherhood to retrieve materials for the war effort. Rest is classified.

Who are you. ... Human at least.

[LemonZest1337]

*Walter watches the two human talk*

Walter: (Quick while they are distracted!)

*Walter stands up slowly nods to Jimmy and Augustus, then slinks out of the room*

----

*Hanna grabs Iris's arm*

Hanna: A-are you sure you want to come? I-I could do it alone...

[Overlord Thraka]

*Jimmy whirls around on Augustus as he hears "Major" and "Washington DC" and pulls on his duct-tape mask*
Jimmy: Cops!
*He dives behind a counter, drawing his gun in the process*

*Iris smiles and nods*
Iris: Of course I'm coming. Don't worry, I'll be fine.
*She offers her hand and continues to the main room*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter turns to look at Halia*
Lecter: Like I said, 'simple human doesn't cover it.

*The creatures converge on Rust, trying to rip him apart while they steadily die off*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Rust has totally vanished as Dallas and Syndey fall back*
Bain: We need to take a hostage!
Sydney: F&#$ that! We need a Jimmy! He's got the China Puff!
*She throws a grenade at the monsters and keeps firing her AK5*
*Dallas keeps up with his Raven Shotgun*

*Halia nods silently*
Halia:... So I believe my debt passes to you, seeing as how you're Karma's... master...
*She spits out the word 'Master' with disgust*

[2BlackJack1]

*The last of the creatures die from the grenade and shotgun fire*

*Lecter frowns*
Lecter: You owe me nothing, I did nothing to save you. And you act like my... association with Karma is flawed.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Halia nods*
Halia: I still owe you though, for saving me from those... gigglers. Butcher will no doubt feel the same...
*She looks worriedly at Mergoux, who is unconscious again*

*Dallas and Sydney rush into the room in search of a hostage for a trade to get Rust back*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter shrugs*
Lecter: You have nothing that you should give away. Besides, I did nothing worth a debt. All I did was defend myself against creatures, and by proxy I saved your life. That isn't to say that I have no regard for your life, but I still did nothing worth a gift.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Halia hesitates then nods*
Halia: Alright... then I suppose the debt is forgiven. You misunderstand though, it is... the way things are. When someone saves my life, I owe them a debt that must be payed in some fashion. It's a custom I picked up from some... friends.

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter nods*
Lecter: It's hardly a foreign concept, I just don't abide by it. Frankly, I don't see a reason to.

*Karma, again as a hawk, follows the group by flying through the trees*

[Overlord Thraka]

*The Elf nods*
Halia: Well... It was the belief of my friend, that if a life-debt was owned and left unpaid, then the debtor couldn't enter the afterlife. I don't think that way, but I do think that debts are something that should be repayed, not something to be waved aside lightly.
*She winces and looks down at her leg then back up at Lecter*
Halia: I will find a way to repay Karma for what she did then. She's freed me, and I owe her far more than just my life.

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna takes Iris's hand then frowns as she watches Walter pass*

----

*Walter nods to Iris and Hanna and takes note that Hanna is not human*

[PrinceAlexus]

*The major ducks into cover and draws his laser pistol and peaks over working out where and readies second pistol of the matched pair*

US Army... 2277...

I ain't police. Don't insult me raider. Do I look like a cop you idiot.

Don,t give a damn long as you ain't killing me, mutie, work for Brotherhood, are a feral, or traitor to Enclave.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris enters the kitchen with Hanna and looks about, not initially seeing either the Major or Jimmy*
Iris: Hello? Dallas? Rust? Syd-
*Jimmy rears up and empties his pistol by firing all over the kitchen*
Jimmy: YAAA! TAKE THIS YOU MILITARY F*$^!
*Bullets ping off the fridge, embed themselves in the stove, put holes in the walls and cabinets and destroy the toaster and blender*
*Iris eyes go wide and she suddenly leans heavily on Hanna. Hanna can smell the strong scent of blood coming off Iris and when she looks over, she can see Iris's bright yellow shirt is beginning to turn a deep red*
Iris: Hrk...
*Jimmy ducks down again and switches to his dual SMGs*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna smells Iris's blood and she instantly tenses up, she looks at Iris leaning on her and her breathing begins to speed up*

Hanna: W-what have you done.

*Her gaze quickly shifts to the kitchen. Hanna lays Iris down on the ground gently and strides towards the kitchen, bashing aside any
furniture with her wings.*

Hanna: YOU!.. YOU SHOT IRIS! HOW COULD YOU!?

*Her words are full of hate and rage as she continues towards the kitchen taking no notice of the new man in armour*

Hanna: I'LL KILL YOU!

*She gets on all fours and lunges at the kitchen doorway, tears flow from her face but she doesn't openly cry*
