"Damn it, Damien." He noticed that Veronica was being the mama bear they all knew her to be, so Damien simply slid along and crouched in front of her. He really did it now. "Shhh, hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm sorry. Please don't get upset. Jeeeen." He glanced at V and gave her an "Erk, I fucked up" face.

Veronica further embraced Jen. "Listen to Damien, even if he did un-bury somethings, like an idiot, he did go further into trying to know a wonderful person than I would have done." Trying to console to the best of her abilities.

"Do you know what it's like to feel so dirty that even when you shower and scrub your skin red, it doesn't change anything?" She whispered.

[Xiphonic]

@Carlsberg
"I would, if I had a shower" Veronica was being quite frank about a traumatic experience.

Damien shook his head. How could he even hope to ever feel what she felt? "Jen. Let me level with ya here. Now, just then, I fucked up okay? But I wanna tell you something right now. In here... this place. You can put it behind you. Start over. It doesn't matter what you have done, okay? It will never change what we think about you." Damien explained. He sighed. "I don't know. I don't know what that feels like, Jen. It would be almost impossible for me to put myself in your shoes. It doesn't matter how deep, or dark it is because I am going to help you. Me, V, everybody. Just, please. Don't be sad right now."

[Carlsberg]

@GingerBoi123

Jen sniffed.
"I've tried. I've tried putting it behind me, accepting it happened and all that crap. It doesn't work. That guy broke me," She said, "And I don't think I can be fixed."

[Xiphonic]

@Carlsberg
"We are both broken from a similar thing, but like a scar on a tree, we can grow beyond it, make it a less significant part of who we are." Veronica was holding back her own tears, remaining strong for Jen.

[GingerBoi123]

Damien was actually lost for words. A) Why did he open his mouth!? And B) What else could he say? He simply pointed at V. "What she said."

[Carlsberg]

@Xiphonic@GingerBoi123

Jen sniffed a little before sitting back up and wiping her face.
"I'm sorry. We've got bigger things to worry about at the moment," She said.

[Xiphonic]

@Carlsberg
If she wanted to leave it there, then Veronica would drop it despite other thoughts.

[GingerBoi123]

@Carlsberg

Damien shook his head. "Don't be sorry. You've got no reason to be. I should be sorry. Like Veronica said, it weren't none of my business digging around like that. And for that, I am sorry."

[Carlsberg]

@GingerBoi123@Xiphonic

"Its ok. I said you could ask after all," Jen said, having dryed her face. She gave them a weak smile.

Kiiros had been standing just outside the group, arms crossed with a bored expression, preferring to listen at the time rather than speak since Damien was doing all his work for him. 'My god these people need to lighten up, they're making the arena darker than it actually is.' He let out a huff. "Can't we talk about happy things? Or do we all just have some mutual agreement that happiness is forbidden?" Sure he was some kind of psychopath and seemingly had no problem with situations of extreme despair and sadness, but even he can begin to feel the weight of a depressing atmosphere after a while. "I think I liked the subject of books better to be honest."

The chance Wes had, came to a halt as he stopped from delivering his haymaker when David went to grip his head and the surge of energy went through his body causing pain from coursing through his nervous system. His body was trying to adapt, as part of inside his body started to attempt shifting into a sponge-like substance so to not be effected. Wes at the moment, went for a drop kick to knocked David back to get released but Wes was going to be dazed from that attack.

@King Tai

David panted, and cursed as Wes drop kicked him to the ground. Damn that hurt. He is adpating faster then he can harm him. He slammed his hand to the ground and raised his hand. His eyes flashed as he sent a large blast of energy at Wes's chest. The lights flicked and David panted. Damn he used to much nergy. He knew he didnt have much energy left to defend himsef. He looked up to see what hapened

@Varicke
Veronica got up and sat in another seat. "sure we can talk about other things. What kind of books do you like?" She didn't mind talking about happier things, as long as we can have time for reality.

@Xiphonic

Kiiros' face seemed to light up at the question as if somebody actually giving a crap about his interests is the best thing to have ever happened to him. "Oooh, I LOVE mystery! It's my favourite genre!" He never read books very often, at least not ones of stories. He preferred books that contained information, not some emotional adventure with the cliché happy ending. Despite that, he simply couldn't resist a good mystery book, it's a guilty pleasure of his. "Agatha Christie is my favourite author! I thoroughly enjoy reading the many mysteries she's written starring Hercule Poirot. He's my favourite fictional detective and an amazingly good one at that, you never know what he's thinking or how he figures out those murders." He was beginning to ramble and was surprisingly really into this subject. "My most favourite of her stories is Murder on The Orient Express, it was also the first of her books I've read. It's a terrible shame she's passed away now. Fortunately there's more of Poirot's adventures in a TV Series. I watched it all the time back in Galevein, I just can't get enough of how amazing she was with her characters personalies an-" He slowed to a halt when he realized he's been running his mouth off. "...I uh... I'll shut up now. Perhaps I've tortured you all enough with the sound of my voice for one day, heheh."

@Varicke
It was nice to see Kiiros have a more regular side. "It is nice to see a psychopath such as yourself isn't so far removed as to not enjoy a good book. While I haven't read many mystery type books, I have found the seldom few that I have entertaining. I prefer the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe myself. The older, classic, horror stories are always extraordinarily interesting; And the best part about something like The Call of Cthulhu, the ending isn't happy, it shows how weak and pointless humans are. The sense of 'We are fucked but can't even begin to comprehend the thing destroying us' is so underused in modern literary works." Now she was starting to ramble. Veronica laughed and looked back at the fight. The fight was basically who could take and throw the hardest hit, pummeling into each other with such savage strategy was impressive to watch.

@Xiphonic

"Hey I'm still human...." He paused and gave thought for moment. "...I think."

[Xiphonic]

@Varicke
Veronica decided to nerd out a bit farther, trying to be less anti-Kiiros. "If you aren't human... than may you be a Great Old One?" Veronica chuckled a bit. "Sorry, Lovecraft reference."

[Varicke]

@Xiphonic

Kiiros tilted his head with a bored and confused look. "I've never heard of this Lovecraft. Why not tell me some more about it?"
