[IC] The Room

[Vulkan 707]

*John nods to Lecter, and grins under his helm.*
John: Yep of course, nothing can keep me down.
*Sasha ignores Horus not wishing to argue, instead scan Lecter. She remains silent as she does this.*
John: Er... this is Sasha.

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter sighs*
Lecter: Some idiots tried shooting up the place, but they're dead. It be than that, there's no immediate danger.
*He nods to Sasha, and would come off as human and anomalous at the same time in her scans. Similarly, he smells the air to figure out what she is*
Lecter: A pleasure to meet you, Sasha. I'm Lecter, a Devil Hunter. You're a friend of John's? Squad mate?

*Karma would shrug if she could*
I don't bother to learn the names of slaves. Do you know where one would run to?

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus looks alarmed and takes a few steps towards Lecter as his eyes widen*
Horus: Iris! Is she okay?! What happened?!
*He growls in anger and clenches his giant fists*
Horus: If they've harmed her...

*Togan thinks for a moment*
Togan:...Old base-cave. Could be there. No way home, so they together. We got many. We go search?

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter sighs again and shakes his head*
Lecter: A stray shot hit her. Hanna and some... one else were helping her. And don't worry about the attackers, they were taken care of.
*He brushes his coat open to show his pistol*
Lecter: And if they have friends, they'll be taken care of as well.
*He doesn't mention Hanna's involvement in the fight, a he doesn't know how Sasha will react, or John for that matter*

*Karma flies onto Togan's shoulder*
Will Tiaz know we are there?

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus grabs Lecter by the shoulders, hard enough to hurt*
Horus: Is. She. Alive?!
*He speaks with an alarming expression on his face, one of complete focus*

*Togan shakes his head*
Togan: No. Only if he there too.

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter looks up at Horus, not reacting to his grip, and forgives him for his rash behavior*
Lecter: It was a stray shot. She'll be fine. Relax, we're not in a place where emotion can lead your actions.

Speak for yourself, Lecter.
*The Devil Hunter grimaces slightly as he hears the voice on his mind, followed by a fading cackle*

*Karma turns her head to face the door*
Then lead us there. It's rude to keep someone waiting.

[Vulkan 707]

*Sasha nods, though she looks slightly annoyed under her helm with being attached to John.*
Sasha: Sure. Squad mates.
*Both John and Sasha watch Horus freak out about Iris.*
*Sasha sighs.*
Sasha: Are we done here?

[Overlord Thraka]

*Horus looks slightly relieved and lets go of Lecter*
Horus: I need to go, now!
*He moves quickly towards the room, not waiting for anyone else as he's entirely focused on one thing and one thing only*

*Togan nods and transforms*
Togan: Ya. We go now.
*He lopes outside and towards the woods*
Togan: One close. Only... err...
*He tries to think of how to phrase the timing in English*
Togan: Uh... I think it half from highsun to sundown in coldtimes...

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter shakes his head as Horus runs off*
Lecter: Protective, but reckless.
*He looks back at Sasha and John*
Lecter: One question. I fought a creature, and it ran off before the fight could end.
*He describes the creature he fought against, and tells a summarized version of the fight*
Lecter: Know anything about it? Your friends were the reason it showed up.

*Karma hisses*
We'll find the slave. The distance between us matters little.

[Vulkan 707]

*John and Sasha listen, and both look at unease by this new information.*
John: That must of been a singularity grenade...
Sash: And it summoned a praetorian of darkness. That would explain the storm, we will have to find it.
*She looks at Lecter, and frowns.*
Sasha: How did you hurt a praetorian of darkness?

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan nods and leads on into the woods, towards a small cave hidden behind a number of large bushes*
*He remains silent as they travel, focused on remembering how to get to the cave. He marks several trees with claw marks to help not get lost*
*Finally he reaches the cave and pauses outside it.*
Togan: I go. You wait or follow. I not care
*He sniffs around the area and nods*
Togan: 3 here. One Elf, two humans. I go bring to you.
*He silently slips into the bushes and into the cave where 3 women sleep. The embers of a small fire still burn the center of the cave as Togan prowls around them*
*He grabs the elf around the throat and grins devilishly at her as she tries in vain to scream, his paw constricting her throat*
Togan: You mine now.
*The other two women begin to stir*

[2BlackJack1]

*Lecter shrugs and gestures to his arm blades*
Lecter: My swords are better than most. And I had a trick up my sleeve. It's lucky it didn't come from Hell, otherwise it would have died.

*Karma disappears in smoke, and reappears, now as her demonic form, from the smoldering fire*
No survivors. And make it bloody.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan grabs one of the other women by the ankle and slams her into the wall with shocking violence. Blood splatters as her head is smashed in*
*The other woman makes a dive for the entrance and Togan drops the Elf to go after her. He tackles her to the ground and slowly shreds her back as she screams. He leaves her shredded and bleeding to death and returns to the cave where he picks up the Elf and leers at her. He looks at Karma and bows his head*
Togan: I enjoy that. Can I take Elf before I kill?
*He gestures questioningly to the attractive Elf woman who whimpers in fear*
Elf: P-please... j-just kill me and let it be over... Let this hell end!

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma floats over to the woman bleeding to death, and kneels over her*
Hell is what awaits you, mortal. This is a mercy compared to that.
*The familiar proceeds to bite down on the throat of the dying woman beneath her, uncaring about the elf's fate at the hands of Togan*
Just do it out of my sight. Mortal needs taint my appetite.

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan nods, grins devilishly and bows his head again*
Togan: Thank you Master.
*He takes the Elf away and about an hour later comes back and tosses her corpse at Karma*
Togan: She yours if you want. I am done. We look for more now?
*He sits, seemingly a bit less surly than before at Karma.*

[2BlackJack1]

*Karma looks down at the corpse and her lip curls slightly*
She was tainted, but her blood will serve a different use.
*The familiar cuts into the corpse, and marks a hawk into the wall of the cave with the elf's blood*
Guide me to the next ones. We're done here.

*Hanna just follows Iris around as they look food*

----

*Walter waits in the lounge and looks at the television*

*He frowns not really enjoying the programs but he watches them anyway. Just for something to do*

[PrinceAlexus]

*Major notices Walter and just watches trying to learn some context on this world but not getting too much bar its technology level seems to vary greatly across areas and parts of the planet*

*pulls cap down and rests slightly as not much else to do at current*

*Furia sleeps and keeps most hurt arm close to chest and covered by warm cloak, and sleeps badly as hurt and healing*

*Nonac stays watching and eventually leaves to look outside wondering what kind of storm could do what this one is doing*

[Overlord Thraka]

*Togan nods and lopes off again on all fours*
*He grumbles to himself about this being a waste of slaves*
Togan: Could bring lot pleasure... waste to kill...
*He grumbles about it for some time as he leads them to another two caves that end up empty*

*Iris eventually finds Sydney and Jimmy's remains laid out on a table in what appears to be a tiny Morgue*
Iris: Aha! Hanna... could you eat them still? If you could, we could save them, ration it out...
*She's disgusted she's even saying this, but at the same time knows it's needed for Hanna to live*

[LemonZest1337]

*The moment Hanna was in range to smell the bodies her eye changed colour.*

Hanna: T-they still smell good. B-but only just. I'll just eat a-all of it. H-have one big meal...

*Hanna walked forwards slowly and looked at Sydney with a hint of sadness, this one wasn't as bad as the others... B-but Hanna had still killed her, and now she was going to eat her remains.*

*Hanna gets hit with a gut-wrenching wave of guilt. She didn't know why but she couldn't bring herself to consume Sydney's corpse*

Hanna: I can't eat that one...

*She pointed over at Sydney*

*Walter picked up on the Major inspecting him. But it would be impossible to tell if Walter had looked at him because of his compound eyes&
