Rising Dawn Hangar: Annie, Devon, Ella, Garm, Yu, Deadshot, Doctor, Cadolbolg,
Garm's tail kept to a level height at Devon's suggestion, his head turning a few times to before deciding that what Devon said, in the end, was true. The had been worried about his Pup a good portion of the time he was gone, [color=356D60]"...Very well. However, I do suggest you go see one of the medics soooon. You look pretty roughed up."[/color]
And with that, the wolf followed after Ella, in hopes of getting a lead. As for Cadolbolg, he kept holding onto Devon, deep in thought about what Devon said. He didn't want anything bad happening to his adoptive older sibling....
"Maybe Father would know what to do in this situation...", Cadolbolg thought to himself-
Rising Dawn Hallway: Akane, Devon, Cadolbolg, Caim, Ton Ton
-right when himself and Devon crashed into Akane. However, Cadolbolg was far more familiar with the Kitsune, and flapped his little wings to get to eye level with the Kitsune. Giving a happy wave, Cadolbolg croaked out,
"I remember you! You're Father and Mother's foxy friend. Hello~!"
And speaking of the devil, Ton Ton and Caim were making their way down the hallway, having wandered about and finding various things to amuse themselves with before the rest of the group got back. Ton Ton was the one to point out the commotion, [color=15650D]"Mister Caim? It looks like Cadolbolg and Devon are back! And is that Akane and Jake..?"[/color]
Caim broke into a smile, and made haste to catch up with Devon and the others,
Code:
"Careful, Devon. It's rude to trip on mystical fox women's tails.... Man, you look like you've been through the wringer. Trained yourself out in the simulators, haven't you?"
"Hello, Father!"
It was not too soon for Caim to be tackle-hugged by his turtle-dragony son, almost knocking Ton Ton from his perch in the process; and the recently arrived Jake and Akane could see that Caim's bond with his 'sons' was still well in place, especially in the way the warrior carried the two Cutie Bruisers on himself.
That all being said, it was readily apparent that the tone in the 'voice' of Devon's master was more than enough to acknowledge that some part of Caim's comment was in jest. In fact, Jake noticed there was something almost familial with how Caim acknowledged Devon; kinda like a big brother looking out for his younger sister... It was well off from how Jake remembered being acknowledged when he was under Caim's wing.
After greeting Devon, Caim gave an acknowledging nod to the fox women in question,
Code:
"It's good to see you back, Akane, Jake. When did you return?"
Ton Ton gave a similar nod, and wave his lantern happily at the Kitsune and her Author as he gave his greeting, [color=15650D]"Hullo!"[/color]
At Jake's request, however, Vermilion was the one to speak over the intercom: [color=FF5349]
Code:
"Access granted. As for your request for another room, there should be adequate furnishings for yourself and Akane further down the hall. Or, if you so desire to have separate rooms? Both can easily be taken care of..."
[/color]
Rising Dawn Hallway: Rugal, Rugal?, Toyotama
"...Teri? Is th-"
"Shut it! Who the fuck are you? How did you get in here?!....Ah..."
Once Toyotama heard the both voices from inside the rings, she paused with wonder and muttered, [color=0E59E4]
"Dad?"[/color] before the ring was removed; leaving the Shadow alone in the space between the rings. Of course, that's when she realized what had happened. Toyotama broke the connection to the rings, darted to a dark corner of Teri's mind and
screamed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC-BIfL69vw] (warning, loud Nightmare Fuel) in a mixture between fury and frustration, as she now realized that she knew what she had predicted to be true; and possibly lost the one chance to properly connect with what could have possibly been the Rugal herself and Teri knew so well....
Rising Dawn: Canteen: Imps, Teri
[color=0E59E4]
"Okay, Ella, I'll be right there in a - OH DEAR GOD!"[/color]
Teri literally fell out of her seat when Toyotama's screams reached her proper cognitive functions, the pain of the oncoming noise in her mind rendering the Cleric's vision black after she fell. As the noise died away, and her vision returned, a throbbing headache came in the noises wake, Teri weakly reached to her Shadow, who only stated, [color=0E59E4]
"Sorry bout the noise, but talk to me after you're done with Ella."[/color] before forcing Teri back to the Ring space. With a shaky sigh, the Cleric forced herself up and put her food into a 'to go' sort of tray, and sent back, [color=0E59e4]
"Sorry bout that... Toyotama was acting up about something. I'll be there shortly."[/color]
As she walked, the Cleric could only rub her head with a groan and wonder quietly to herself as to why Toyotama acted up all of a sudden, as well as answer Sadei properly, [color=0E59E4]
"Ow....As you asked, Sadei, I kinda got some hints, but I guess Tama was right. I wanted to believe things were A-Okay, even if they weren't... I just want Mom and Dad to get along again, you know? ...That kinda ties into the second one. A divorce is when two married people split up from one another. Think of it like what happened between me and Lucifer, except with a lot more legal work behind it... So, when I mentioned Mum and Dad and one of those... I lost my family once already. I don't want it to ever happen again."[/color]
Ella's Room Teri, Garm, Ella
Teri, even with the headache, finally made her way to Ella's room, and with a knock, found herself welcomed by both Ella, but Garm as well. The large black wolf gave a happy, [color=356D60]"Tear-ri!"[/color] before rubbing his fuzzy head against the Cleric's side, a gesture the Cleric had become well familiar with as a greeting. After settling down, (and Teri getting over the intial excitement of a talking wolf friend) Ella got into the nitty gritty of the ordeal, Garm throwing in his own two cents as well, [color=356D60]"Your friend looked as if Death had attempted to take her several times. Naturally, it's distressing for all..."[/color]
Teri blinked a the sudden influx about the whole ordeal with the robot and the Shadow fights, and took a bite from her meal as she tried to contemplate all this, [color=0E59E4]"So you fought a robot and two Shadows? Wow, no wonder you two look so pooped! Man, and I thought keeping Squishy from near death was bad enough..."[/color]
When Garm's ears perked at the comment, Teri continued, [color=0E59e4]"Constance had a Shadow fight herself. Me, Mum, Cz, Jenny and Dad had to fend her off. When I summoned Squishy to help, she almost boiled him alive. Naturally, myself and those with me put a stop to that. Sadei and several enchanted arrows were involved. That all being said, I understand why Ella's so upset. Nearly losing someone you care about does a number to your system, much less more than once."[/color]
The wolf's ears flattened, and Garm barked in addition, [color=356D60]"Not to mention she's being too reckless! Gelert and myself are built to deflect heavy blows like that; not her! Really, pushing me out of the way of the fires... I'm meant to be a guardian, she is meant to act as support. I do not know what has possessed her so, but in my old pack, reckless youth like that were usually the first to die."[/color]
Rising Dawn: Training Room: Slindis, Dimitri
As there were no proper visual or audio files, Dimitri sighed, [color=3897E0]
Code:
"Apologies, User: Slindis. User: Mr. Bernstein specifically asked I did not take in any audio or visual data from the bout. The only thing I do have is what Thoth, my Persona, was able to gather during the battle. User: Mr. Bernstein and his Persona/Shadow are resistant to Physical based attacks, and weak to Light based attacks. I can give you a few other logs though, of events before this occurrence...?"
[/color]
That was when Dimitri booted up the logs that followed after [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/540.101127.20271041] Annie's [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/540.101127.20274053] interrogation [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/540.101127.20274713]....
[color=3897E0]
Code:
"If her Ladyship's statements earlier to User: Mr. Bernstein are to be correct; when she spoke to him in the Med Bay regarding Shadows, then this would be the triggering event, I think...."
