[IC] The Room

[PrinceAlexus]

*Furia*
Still waiting...
We seem to be in a standoff working out each others plans.

We plan to take them, they planning to take us...

They made camp nearby.
They number least 5. Need careful plan.

...

*Major looks over and winces slightly at the sound*
If that was my soldier... I might put them out of mercy...

[Overlord Thraka]

*Xan nods weakly*
Xan: I kill. You help me, I repay honor-debt. Kill Horseman, then we be fair yes?

*Mergoux is writhing in pain, with her teeth and eyes clamped tightly shut as the groans.*

*Several miles away from the room Horus collapses, the injuries proving too severe for him to keep going. He lies there, slowly bleeding out and thinks only of Iris*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna just watches Iris but doesn't touch her*

Hanna: (When is she going to wake up? What if she doesn't!... No she'll be fine! She has to be!)

*Hanna clenches her fists as she watches Iris lay there*

----

*Walter stays in the library flipping through pages*

[PrinceAlexus]

*Furia nods*

But must be careful.
They have 5, skilled men. If they attack first. We lose.

Then no debt. Trust you more than others round here.

...

*Major looks over at Lector*
You know anything about this woman or that ... Medicine. Id call it a poison if I'm honest.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris is cold to the touch and barely breathing*
*Her scales pulse a dull sickly gray color*

*An angry young man is striding towards the room. He is clad in tribal breeches and has a large number of tattoos. Burning yellow cat's eyes glow from beneath his mane of vibrant orange hair*
*He muses to himself as he walks*
Stranger: Make dem pay for dis! Hopes they has many for taking before I kill...
*He grins to himself and licks his lips hungrily as he walks towards the room's door*

*Xan snarls harshly*
Xan: They attack, they die! We kill!
*She nods to Furia*
Xan: Be fair then. No debt when payed.

[PrinceAlexus]

*Furia nods*

others not understand . debt must be paid.
*Furia gives a slightly older reply, having had to learn quick as hunter in war vs bearlord*

yes , but first i will try and find out what there camp like, maybe weakneess..
have to check traps. good reason to be close by no. maybe find advantage.

want to see you alive in many season still.
*Takes a quiet look out at window at the small camp near a room building porch, with a fire, near rear entrence*

...

*Major leans back and goes to kitchen to grab another beer and tosses one the Devi hunters way*
*also notices rooms and grrabs a key deciding that finding a place to work in private would be helpful. *

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna sees Iris's skin pulse grey then gently nudges her*

Hanna: I-Iris, w-wake up. Please.

*Hanna can't hold back the tears in her eyes*

Hanna: I-I can't lose you.

*Hanna Hugs Iris and sobs into her shoulder*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris doesn't move. She's still breathing barely but is very weak and icy cold. Her skin pales even more and she looks terrible*

*Xan sits up and winces in pain*
Xan: You go. I rest one day, then follow. We kill. Where is mate? He help kill?

[PrinceAlexus]

*Furia nods*

Nonac will help. He resting now.
Took shoulder wound few days ago and letting heal more.

*Furia sneaks out back door and goes to check her snares bear the camp watching as she goes*

*camp os quiet but alert as the storm has them on edge and moved slightly to take shelter of a earthen rise in one side against weather keeping there horses under a nearby porch *

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna feels how cold Iris is and starts to panic*

*She runs out towards the main room*

Hanna: H-help! I-Iris is dying a-and I don't know what to do! I c-can't help her...

----

*Walter hears Hanna running down the hall calling for help and gets out of his chair*

Walter: (She may not be human... But she's just as noisy...)

[Overlord Thraka]

*Xan hears Hanna's shouting and limps towards the sound*
Xan: What? Girl tell. Who Iris? What help need?

*Iris shivers, curled up into a ball with her wings wrapped around her*

[Vulkan 707]

*The storm seems to keep going, and red bolts of lightning crack all around the forest.*

---
*The floating creatures simply watch Horus run away, then float off to the epicenter of the storm.*

---
*John makes his way to the front door of the room, and starts to trek into the epicenter of the storm.*
*He is wearing his helmet, and has his quad barrel at the ready.*

---
*Jillian finally comes back to from the forest, opposite of where the storms epicenter was.*
*She appears to be a little out of breath, and has a few scraps on her knees and face.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus is unconscious, having been burned over about 80% of his body by the lasers*
*He smells like bacon*

*The young red-haired man yanks open the door to the room and enters before shouting*
Stranger: Where shadow woman?! I challenge her!
*He glares around at the room in general. He's got two long knives tucked in the back of his belt and pulls them out*

*Far away, Tiaz is watching the storm from a small, shallow cave nestled in the woods*
*His daughter's body lies behind him, curled up in a corner*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter's head snaps to the werelord that burst through the door, and immediately raises his pistol at him*
Lecter: Not home.
*His finger tightens on the trigger, but the Devil Hunter stops, seemingly for no reason*

Welcome back. How is Taboo?
*Karma forms behind the man and thrusts her claws into his back*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna is extremely out of it and hisses in frustration*

*She just runs back to Walter's room and finds Walter tending to Iris*

----

Walter: She was very cold, she needs to be warmed up immediately. Go grabs you blankets or something she doesn't have much time.

----

*Hanna doesn't argue against Walter and just mindlessly does as he say, only because he seemed to have an idea of what was wrong with Iris*

*She quickly runs off to her room and grabs her blankets*

----

*Walter sighs to himself and makes a few clicks*

Walter: (Perhaps I might stay here... So far I have mostly been exposed to stupidity. These people need some serious help...)

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris has unconsciously tried to curl around Walter for any amount of heat he might give off*
*She's shivering and still icy cold*

*Togan roars and leaps away from her, transforming as he goes*
Togan: NO! You stop! We do this proppa way! I want good-fight! Not sneak! Honor demands fairness! I want Girajak ki Khazet! Challenge of Strength!

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma tilts her head slightly*
This time, your father won't bring you back. You'll be with me, in Hell.

*Lecter sighs and hesitantly lowers his pistol*
Lecter: Make it quick.

[PrinceAlexus]

*Major sighs and looks over the duel*

Il be avoiding this one.
(what kind of mutants does this place attract, it needs a good extermination )

*heads off to a room grabbing a broken plasma rifle and starts working on repairing the stock with parts scavenged from a old pay day weapon and trimmed down to work with his own weapon and a few other parts*

...

*Furia sneeks out the room and goes scouting round the camp as she takes a few rabits and lighter game from the snares*

...

*Nonac gathers his weapons and sat in room sharpening a large sword and working on shaping a crossbow bolt to a razors tip*

[LemonZest1337]

*Walter puts off very little body heat but he does get an empty hot water bottle from his cupboard and waits for Hanna to return with the blankets*

----

*Hanna speeds into Walters room with her bedding materials and is helped by Walter to put them on Iris*

*Hanna is then told to get under the blankets with Iris, which she does without question*

----

*Walter nods after instructing Hanna to get under the covers*

Walter: Alright, now you stay there, I am going to fill this with hot water. I shouldn't take long, just remember. You must Stay under then blankets to keep Iris warm, or she will die.

*Walter then heads towards the kitchen to fill the hot water bottle*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris wraps herself tightly around Hanna, shivering. She's doing this mostly unconsciously and doesn't realize where she is, or what she's huddled against for warmth*

*Togan grins savagely at Karma*
Togan: I win this time! Then you be MY slave! Not human's!
*He roars and lunges at her, going for her throat*

*Xan hears the roar and pales visibly*
Xan: N-no...
