[IC] The Room

[PrinceAlexus]

*Nonac heads out and looks round seeing the strange sights armed for the coming fight*

Hmm... Crazy as normal.

*goes to get food, mind busy planning and concerned about Furia.*
*seems to miss some things but deep in thought remevering what he can about eastern tactics or any edge he can get in coming fight. *

...

*the Major is resting with a half repaired plasma rifle, a broken down rifle, and other bits and tools on a desk having been endevering to repair his plasma rifles stock *

*it's a crude repair but it seems to be making progress merging the replacement stock and the weapon*

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma stabs her claws into Togan's arms as he lunges, and her lip curls*
I'd sooner bow to a mortal's shit than bow to you.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan roars in pain*
Togan: I strongest! I win!
*He bites one of Karma's arm, then tries reeling her in and tearing her aparat*

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma hisses as she gets bit, and uses her second arm to stab into his chest*
A miracle that something so stupid has existed for so long.

*Lecter watches the fight, ready to shoot Togan if he has any doubts that Karma will lose*

[PrinceAlexus]

*Nonac watches from kitchen as tgr strange creatures fight*

*half watches half checks window glancing at the camp fire in distence of the eastern clan. *

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan roars in pain. He grabs onto Karma's throat with both hands and squeezes as hard has he can, while still trying to tear her arm out with his teeth*

*Tiaz sits calmly watching the storm when Taboo stirs*
(Translated)Taboo: Father?... I had a strange dream... I was in a gray place, and mother was there...
*Tiaz looks over at Taboo who sits up and rubs her eyes. Tiaz's cloak hides his face from her, which he is glad of*
Tiaz: It was just a dream child. Come, sit. Let us watch the storm together.
*Taboo curls up in her father's lap*
Taboo: Where is brother?
Tiaz: I gave him a task. He should return shortly
*Taboo nods and watches the storm with her father*

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma smiles as her throat gives way, and she shoves downwards with the claws embedded in Togan's chest*
*smoke pours from her arm and floods into his mouth as the werelord bites through her arm, snapping the bones*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan howls as he's disembowled and slowly sinks to the ground, choking on the smoke, but with his grip on her throat unrelinquished*
Togan: (Cough hack) Kill... yoo....

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma wrenches her claw out of his gut and shoves it into Togan's arm again*
*her other arm is torn to shreds and dangles limp, yet hatred still burns in her eyes. She tries to speak, but no words come out, only wisps of smoke and a dark, purple blood*

*Lecter's eyes dart from Karma and Togan*
Lecter: For fuck's sake, Karma.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan's eyes are full of absolute hatred as he growls in pain and keeps trying to choke out a Devil*
Togan: Kill yooo!
*His grasp doesn't weaken, even as the rest of his body does. He sinks to the ground, hanging on to Karma's throat, seemingly for dear life*

*Xan pokes her head out of the kitchen and watches the fight fearfully*

*Halia is backed into a corner, terrified of her one of her former masters*

*Mergoux is just getting off the painful effects of the potion but watches the fight, muttering under her breath*
Mergoux: C'mon... just end it..

[Vulkan 707]

*John finally finds the limp frame of Horus, and crouches next to him.*
*Inspects his wounds, but he isn't much of a healer.*
John: Who did this to you?
*He keeps alert, and still has his gun ready.*

---
*Jillian walks inside the room, frowns at Karma and Togan.*
Jillian: What was that all about? Another Taheen? This place is more dangerous then I originally thought.

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma makes an inhuman hiss as she rips her claws into Togan's throat*
*The familiar fades into smoke and reforms, as a hawk, on Lecter's shoulder. One wing is shattered and bloody, and blood streaks her feathers*

*Lecter looks at Jillian and shakes his head*
Lecter: A shaman named Tiaz sent this thing at us. Karma here already killed him once, and his sister.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan collapses on the ground, black ooze pouring from his wounds. He roars silently in fury, weakly pounding one fist into the ground*
*He tries to stand but collapses, clutching at his guts and stuffing them back inside his body while glaring in hatred at Jillian, Lecter and especially Karma*
*He knows he's beaten but really doesn't want to admit it*

*Horus looks over at John weakly*
Horus:... Red... lasers... Didn't see... what they came from...

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter looks down at Togan and raises his pistol at the werelord's head*
Lecter: You're getting rusty, Karma.
*The Devil Hunter pulls the trigger, and turns to regard his familiar*
Lecter: A day to recover, I'd say.
*He turns to look at Halia, and shakes his head*
Lecter: The crippled king won't reach you here. If he sends his minions, they'll be dealt with. Now, you and Mergoux are probably hungry. Both have been through a lot.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan silently groans in pain but doesn't seem to die from the bullet to the head*
Mergoux: That won't work. I don't know how to kill him for good... He's like his father now... Between life and death
*Instead he dips one finger in his own black blood and writes out several symbols on the ground*
*Halia gasps and points and Mergoux's eyes widen slightly as she looks between the symbols and Karma*
Mergoux: He says... "You win Strong One"... You won, so he's pledging himself to you...
*Togan's eyes are full of nothing but hate as he stares up at Karma for several seconds before begrudgingly bowing his head to her*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter sighs and reloads his pistol*
Lecter: The last thing that Karma needs is a servant. I fought to stop that.

*Karma tilts her head slightly, and slips into Togan's mind*
Ignore The Devil Hunter. You're mine now.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan shivers and thinks back*
Togan: ..I am sworn to serve you Mistress...
*He looks back up at her, his expression making it clear that he despises her*
Togan: When this is over... you will still pay for harming my sister.
*He lifts himself into a sitting position and tries sealing his wounds as best he can*

*Mergoux doesn't smile, but looks pleased*
Mergoux: He's yours now. He really can't do much more than eat, use the latrine, and sleep without your allowance or command.
*Halia still looks fearful at Togan, but he ignores her and glares at Mergoux. He does a rather ornate gesture at her that seems to carry similar meaning to the bird*
Mergoux: Piss off Tigerslave. Now you'll walk in my shoes.
*Togan stares daggers at her then looks back at Karma and bows his head*
Togan: Let me kill her, oh please let me kill her!

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma hops off of Lecter and rests on the arm of the sofa*
The girl dies by my hand. But if she were to lose her tongue...
*She stares directly into Togan's eyes, her demonic intelligence visible*
You will learn your manners. I do not enjoy being spited.

*Lecter sighs*
Lecter: Is he bound by magic, or honor? Either way, I don't enjoy this. He's better off dead.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan hides a savage grin*
Togan: Thank you... mistress... I will shut her lowling mouth permanently
*He looks defiantly up at Karma*
Togan: 'Manners' are for humans and other weaklings.

*Mergoux looks at Lecter*
Mergoux: Honor, tradition, and religion. He won't dare disobey Karma, otherwise he could end up as a ghost, instead of going to the afterlife.

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian keeps her frown, but releases her magnum.*
Jillian: Well it seems he keeps coming back using some form of black magic. Such magic is banned from my land.
*Watches Karma with distrust.*

---
*John sighs, and tries to lift Horus.*
John: Dumb to go out here alone, and why not tell me about this storm?
*Says under his breathe.*
John: We are so totally fucked...
