[IC] The Room

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma continues to stare at Togan*
Wrong. Your life will be much easier if you learn that. Otherwise, you'll learn to hate me more than anything else.

*Lecter glances back at Togan*
Lecter: So he pledged himself to a Devil. An odd religion, to encourage this. Once Tiaz is gone, he'll be next.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux nods*
Mergoux: He is a Necromancer. He brings the dead back to life, though only rarely like this. Most are merely shells. For Togan, he's done more... I don't know exactly what, but the only time I managed to kill a black-blood was by burning it to death in a blacksmith's forge.

*She looks back at Lecter*
Mergoux: It doesn't matter that she's a devil. He challenged her and lost. He's pledged to her until he either saves her life 3 times over, or until 7 years pass. If he challenged you or me and we won, it'd be the exact same thing
______________

*Horus weighs about a ton, but leaning heavily on John he's able to stagger to his feet*
Horus: Foolish... yes...
*He looks down at John*
Horus: I... did not... see it at first. I was out... to find who... had hurt Iris

____________

*Togan glares at her in hatred*
Togan: I do not need to learn that... I already do.
*He looks at Lecter, then spits a glob of black blood onto the floor at his boot and glares silently*
Togan: Your master will not kill my father. He is just a human.

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma would smirk if she could*
More than that, even with the mortal blood that taints his form.

*Lecter nods once*
Lecter: Then they'll both have a taste of fire before they see Hell.
*He turns to regard Togan as he gets spit at, and he kneels down to be eye level with Togan*
Lecter: You would have been better off as a corpse. Resurrection is not for your kind.

*Hanna lets herself get squeezed in the hug and hopes she is warm enough*

----

*Walter fills the hot water bottle and heads back to his room, he places it behind Iris's head then goes to fetch more hot water bottles*

[PrinceAlexus]

*the Major heads back checking the rifle and working out what he needs to scavenge from ruined kitchen including screws and bits*

Hmmm... Hello, staying clear of the crazy seems way to stay alive round here.

*looks over seeing strange scenes the scared Xan and more and starts putting some of chunks together *
(attacker? Held against will maybe?)

*Nonac nods to stranger frowning slightly but not hostile having more important things on mind*

Xan, going to find Furia... Should have been back...

*heads out quietly to the camps direction with surprising stealth for a big man*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan glares at Lecter in hatred*
*He gurgles and chokes out a few words*
Togan: You... wrong... human...

*Iris presses her head and neck to the hot waterbottle and keeps holding Hanna close, tail wrapped around her legs, wings wrapped around them both, and her head pulled tightly to her chest*
*She's slowly regaining some color and her breathing becomes more steady*

*Xan grins in joy at seeing Togan beat. She slips from the kitchen, making darting movements closer and closer to Togan, hiding behind furniture and other things*

[Vulkan 707]

*Jillian is out of her element, so she heads to her room.*
*She lays on her bed, and quickly passes out.*

---
*John keeps trying to carry Horus.*
John: Well... This storm... is a huge problem.
*A sudden debilitating roar comes from the epicenter of the storm loud enough to stagger John.*
John: Christ... we are so fucked...
*John looks back towards the eye of the storm and is just able to make out the massive draconian silhouette leap into the sky. Seeing this creature causes John to almost piss himself, and part of him debates on dropping Horus and running.*

[PrinceAlexus]

*The major runs a mini Geiger counter over the water from tap before drinking and seems suprised as it comes back minimal to nil*

Clean... The nuclear war must not have spread to wherever this land is.

*looks over at trogan and the other unatural creations before making self a coffee deciding not to get involved but keeps his plasma pistol handy as not trust any of these things yet*

...

*Nonac treads carefully and finds Furia and the horsemen talking, and the horsemen soon unravling her ruse*

Damn... The bear Lords men will pay for this...
*draws his sword and starts walking towards the camp preparing a throwing knife, and his sword for combat*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter hesitates as he smells Xan, and tilts his head slightly*
Lecter: Step out from behind the couch, before I ruin it by putting a bullet through it.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus sees the monster and would grit his teeth if he could*
Horus: Danu!
*He does his best to pick up the pace*
Horus: What the hell is that thing!?

*Xan creeps out from behind the couch. She's in her human form, that of a young, pretty blonde woman in her late teens/early twenties*
Xan: No shoot! Please! Not enemy! Not to you!
*She glares at Togan then looks back at Lecter*
Xan: He my enemy. You win? Ho-Khazet? You his master now?

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna feels slightly uncomfortable getting coiled around but she knows Iris needs her and doesn't move*

Hanna: Y-you're going to be ok...

*Hanna snuggles and and tries to be as warm as possible*

----

*Walter unloads another 4 hot water bottles in different spots underneath Iris*

[PrinceAlexus]

*the major looks over*
She just a civilian devil hunter.

No harm in a civilian.

*shrugs drinking a coffee restong hand on bip incase of trouble that always seems to be coming *

...

*Furia looks scared slightly as the horseman have her 5-1 and places hand on sword hilt as she backs up*

*Nonac kneels and quickly plans before drawing his sword and a dagger*

FURIA!
*breaks cover and starts charging*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter shakes his head*
Lecter: I wasn't the one that gutted him. You can thank my bird for that.
*He glances at the Major*
Lwcter: She might be a civilian, but she's not human. Appearance can't hide that from me.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris shivers stop and she slowly opens her eyes, seeming weakened, but not as much as she was*
Iris:...Oh! Hanna!
*She loosens her grip on Hanna under the blankets and looks down at her, her scaly face obviously exhausted*
Iris: Hanna? What happened to me? I feel cold...

*Xan frowns in confusion and looks between Karma, Lecter and Togan*
Xan: Bird... beat Togan? How?!
*She looks incredulous*

*She then looks over at the Major and snarls*
Xan: What you call me human?!

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter shakes his head and moves between the Major and Xan*
Lecter: She's more than a bird. And he called you a civilian. Someone that isn't part of an armed force. Not an insult, just a state of being.

[Vulkan 707]

John: That's something we don't want to run into! Now run you fucking bird headed bastard!

*The massive creature spreads it's two sets of wings, and hangs in the air for a moment. It then swings it's huge bulk around, and plummets towards the pair. As it goes it releases a fountain of what appears to be sticky, viscous tar, and brilliant purple lightning.*
*The trees behind them alight, and sprinkles of boiling hot tar pepper their backs.*

---
*Jillian keeps sitting in her room, but listens to the conversations going throughout the room cause she a gunslinger.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus moves as quickly has he can, which by human standards is still pretty fast, even though he's badly injured*
Horus: If we live... you explain... how to... kill it...
*Keeps running hard towards the room*

*Xan frowns at Lecter*
Xan: Armed force? You mean not part of tribe? I am Warrior! Not see-vill-ee-ann.
*She looks defiantly at the Major then over at Karma*
Xan: Not normal bird? How?

[PrinceAlexus]

*major sips coffee slowly *

No tribe, part of formaly the Army of a nation state, or you could say a large group of tribes under one leader and gathered under one flag, one goal, now known as the Enclave.

we are a professional force, trained under arms at all times, acting as offensive and defense forces for our nation.

*Thinks trying to explain it*
a ... Warrior Caste... we serve, the others of nation tithe food, resources, and recruits in exchange for protection.

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna squeezes Iris*

Hanna: Y-you almost died... You got so c-cold...

*Hanna goes to say more but Walter cuts in*

----

Walter: You need to keep your body temperature up. It seems your body requires outside assistance to maintain a healthy temperature, I would recommend some form of heat lamp.

*He then leaves for the library*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Xan lost interest long before the Major simplified things and turns away to mock Togan*
Xan: Wait, human you still talk? Human talk too much.
*She frowns at the Major*

*Iris pales, this time out of fear than illness*
Iris: I w-what?
*She looks at Walter in confusion*
Iris: You mean I'm coldblooded now?!
*She looks down at Hanna then hugs back tightly*
Iris: I'm so sorry Hanna... You must have been terrified....
