[IC] The Room

[LemonZest1337]

*Walter walks over and helps Iris to stand*

Walter: You will have to guide me, for I don't know where your room is.

----

*Hanna stays attached to Iris, all kinds of emotions are running through her head. But she only shows happiness.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris nods and leans heavily on Walter*
Iris: Alright... let me show you..
*She leads Walter to her room and once there sits down heavily on the bed, still holding Hanna with one arm*
Iris: Thank you... for everything. I'll be sure to talk to you more about this... and maybe make you dinner now and then!
*She smiles weakly at Walter*

*Horus blinks and wipes a load of tar from his eyes. He's panting heavily and bleeding again, the tar running red with his blood*
Horus:... I... am Horus... the Avenger... Who are you?

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter walks into the main room, looking much cleanlier and healthier than the night before*
Lecter: Karma, keep an eye on things. I have some business to take care of.
*He looks over at Mergoux*
Lecter: We'll deal with Tiaz when you're able.
*He strides off towards the forest, hoping to catch a glimpse of John's scent*

*Karma looks up at Togan, a total lack of fear for his anger*
A servant is no use to me as a cripple.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Mergoux nods silently and gets up to stagger off to bed and rest*

*Halia still sits on the floor nearby*

*Togan growls but is standing, and though weak, he looks ready for most anything*
Togan: No... cripple... What you command?

*Xan goes to look for her Barbarian friends*

[LemonZest1337]

*Walter lays Iris onto her bed then takes a few steps back*

Walter: I look forward to it. Until next time.

*Walter nods then goes back to his room*

----

*Hanna nuzzles under Iris's chin and whimpers slightly*

Hanna: I was so worried... W-we need to get you some things to help you keep warm...

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris smiles weakly at Walter and nods*
Iris: Thank you. I'll find a way to repay you! Just you wait!

*She looks down at Hanna and holds her tightly, rocking her gently like a baby*
Iris: I'm okay Hanna... I know the feeling...
*Her face looks pained as she remembers finding Hanna from before*
Iris: I'm okay for now... But I'll go lie in the sun later. That should help. Right now I just want to rest...
*She yawns hugely, jaws parting to reveal razor teeth*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna nods and slides out of Iris's grip*

Hanna: O-ok. I'll leave y-you then. H-have a good sleep.

*Hanna turns to leave*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris puts a hand on Hanna's shoulder and smiles gently*
Iris: It's okay Hanna. I can sleep without you having to leave. If you want to stay, then stay. But if not, then please keep an eye out for Horus, tell him what's going on.
*She shivers slightly and curls up a bit*
Iris: I'm just going to go to sleep...
*She curls up under the blankets, rapidly cooling down now without the hot waterbottles and Hanna's body heat to help her keep her blood warm and flowing*

[Sgt Vandingo]

*A lithe figure watches the storm from a perch in a semi-large tree, that is seemingly untouched by all the crazy shit that's happened the past 58 pages. Underneath her cowl she frowns at the familiarity, although it isn't what she thinks it is. She pulls her cloak closer to her chest with one hand, and clutches at a large item wrapped in a material similar to her cloak with her other, then jumps down several metres at a time, landing on branches that are in her way, until she finally lands on the ground. With one hand still holding her cloak, she start making her way towards the disturbance, all the while the item wrapped in material glows a faded red, despite it heing wrapped in several layers.*

[LemonZest1337]

*Hanna nods and hops into bed with Iris*

Hanna: I'll s-stay. You sound l-like you need it.

*Hanna cuddles up to Iris to help her keep warm*

----

*Walter walks out of his room and towards the kitchen*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Iris smiles, cuddles Hanna and quickly falls asleep*

*Togan waits for orders*

*Halia climbs onto a couch and sleeps*

[Vulkan 707]

*Sasha lowers her lance, and shrugs.*
Sasha: I am Sasha of the Iron Brotherhood, that is all you need to know at this time... *She turns to regard John.* What have you told it? I mean 'him.'
John: Seriously don't worry about this him or this place, we are on a different world. We should go back to the room, and rethink our strategy.
*Sasha sits silent her face unreadable cause of her gothic looking helmet, before turning to look over at Horus again.*

*John fills Sasha in on what has happened, and how he was busy for last couple of days.*

*Floating creatures are in the woods watching while the flying monster is stil flying elsewhere.*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter keeps heading off into the woods, listening and smelling for any creatures, both from this world and not. His hand grips his pistol underneath his coat*

*Karma tilts her head slightly*
For now, answer me this. How many more slaves does Tiaz have?

[Sgt Vandingo]

*The figure skids to a halt somewhat close to one of the floating creatures, and tries to not make herself apparent. She assumes it's hostile, but she doesn't act on it cause she thinks first and fucks shit up later. She leaves a hand on the long item at her side, and stares up at the creature.*

[LemonZest1337]

*Walter makes himself a meal and heads back towards his room. On his way back he glances out a window at the storm, he frowns and hurries back to his room*

[Vulkan 707]

*The floating creature turns to regard the girl, and raises it's alien three digit palm.*
*Crackling red energy burns around it.*

[Sgt Vandingo]

*The figure continues staring up at the creature, seeing as though even if she thinks it's hostile, she gives it the benefit of the doubt. Despite being overly friendky, she slips a hand into the material of the large item, which glows slightly more due to both it and the figure feeling threatened. She's also ready to try to avoid the creature in case it tries anything.*

[Vulkan 707]

*The creature releases a red beam of energy from it's palm towards the girl.*

*Sasha turns towards where she can just pick up the laser discharge, and appears John also hears it.*
John: God dammit more of them?
Sasha: They are all over, I'm surprised you made it this far.
John: What's that supposed to mean?

*Meanwhile the huge dragon keeps flying to the epicenter of the storm.*

[Sgt Vandingo]

*Girl sighs at the locals not being friendly again, and bounces backwards to avoid the beam. While jumping backwards, she throws her cloak off along with the material around her weapon, and looks like this now. As she lands, she throws her spear at the creatures torso.*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan glares at Karma and sighs*
Togan: None. You free all slaves. Father not have more, but he capture them who escape! Take them back! Punish them for running!

*Iris dozes for several hours before waking up. She looks down at Hanna, smiles to herself and stays still until Hanna also wakes up*

*Horus looks distrustfully at Sasha, but moves to stand alongside John none-the-less*
