After the car stopped, Ella snatched the keys out of Jenny's hands. "Jenny, someone else is driving the rest of the way tonight. They can't handle that again, got it?" She was still shaking a bit, but that was nothing compared to how Devon was clinging to Ton-Ton.

[color=00c863]"Caim, David... I don't think I need that liquor any more."[/color] Devon's face was right about the same shade of green as the TOnberry's, and she shook her head as she replied to Cadolbolg. [color=00c863]"Cadolbolg... that wasn't fun at all. Like, not even a tiny bit. We're heading with Caim and Angelus for the food, okay?"[/color]

Finally, Ella responds to Teri. "We can pick up something real fast." WIth that, she finds the nearest shop and quickly buys Teri a Simple shirt with a dragon pattern on it. [http://image13.spreadshirt.com/image-server/v1/products/16264132/views/1,width=378,height=378,appearanceId=2/Black-tribal-dragon-T-Shirts.png] "This is so you it's not even funny. Try it on!"

Jenny didn't seem too upset about this development as Ella took her keys.
"Eh, we got there so I don't mind. Besides, Like I'm planning to be in any state to drive back anyway!" She winked at the Succubi before waltzing in the front door of the Noodle Shop with all the nerve in the world and them some.
Once she was in, she got a few stares from the staff, but she just smiled and said "Cosplay party. We'd like the biggest table you got." before she was lead towards the back to a table large enough for everyone.
"Oh, this will do nicely! Well? Come on, take a seat, take a seat!" She gestured to the others as she picked up a menu and began flicking though the pages to the wine section.
"Hmmmm...Think I'll have the Sauvignon Blanc....Annnnnnnnddd....Make it red."

David meanwhile had managed to compose himself as he watched Jenny keep acting in a manner that just wasn't her.
"...Okay...I'm REALLY starting to think that those meds she took is messing with her head. Wanderer, Kalastryn, Think you have something to bring her back down a little? Even if she ain't driving, I'd hate for her to do something that she might regret and be mostly sober while doing it." He asked both the Doctor and the Tiefling, hoping that maybe they might have something to counteract whatever effect that cocktail had on her.
Still, after he said that, he made his way inside, still a little shaken as he did.
"Uhhhh...Just a water, thanks." He then asked while he sat down, something that was extremely out of character for him.

Shadow Operatives Building: Canteen: Rugal, Garm

While the speech did help Rugal's mood a little, it's effectiveness was counteracted somewhat by the fact that he was basically getting it from a dog. (Sorry, Dire Wolf)
"...*Sigh*...Maybe it's just the recent events getting to me, all this business with Shadows and such. Just one thing after another after another..." He sighed as he pushed his dish aside, his appetite not really being enough to warrant the meal.
"...Again, Just while it's easy to say "Move on", it still doesn't sit well with me. Hell, while I was..."Out", My Shadow went and tried to make sexual advances on one of the other crew members. That's...not something I can easily move on from and I highly doubt that Slindis has forgiven that as easily as she did..." He then added as he re-called what occurred while his Shadow had Hijacked his body.
"I don't think it'll go as far as a Divorce so you can tell Teri that, but I doubt that she wasn't affected by it...Come to think about it...I think Teri even witnessed that too...Urgggg..." He groaned, this topic not really helping his mood too much.

"...And I never did clean up that mess in the Captain's quarters. Dimitri is going to love that..."

Violet, Merlin, Edge.
Location: G-Corp
Time: Night.

Violet was a little embarrassed by how blunt Kazuya was in his "Greeting", not to meation the fact that Merlin seemed rather offended by it, but he did relax a little once the wizard agreed to help out with the mess Torgue made.
"Well...As our, uh, "Lord", he has a lot of duties and such to keep track of, especially in light of the events that occurred here today. Even in Peacetime, he acts as if he's at war, if that makes any sense. Still, it all comes from a good place, he wouldn't bother otherwise." He explained, despite being one of the people that Kazuya arguably hated the most in this building.
While Merlin checked out his spell book, Violet attempted to see if there were any old "Com-Bot" prototypes that he could re-program to do a bit of cleaning.
"...Wonder if I have a maid outfit somewhere?" He mused out-loud as the elevator marked Edge's arrival.
"Ah, you must be Edge. Heard your name thrown around the comms over the last few hours. I..." He began before striking a pose, the effect ruined by the fact he looked like he just survived a bomb blast (Which he did).
"...AM THE WONDERFUL VIOLET...and so on...Mind helping me move this?" He then asked as he began trying to push a broken support beam out of the way.

Location: Parking bay number ??? | Shadow Operatives Building | Personaverse.

The restaurant intrigued the Wanderer, for he had never seen a place like this before and the language baffled him. "This isn't Chinese isn't it?" The question was more aimed for his own mind, but a few people around him could hear him. Sitting down, the good Doctor looked quite ordinary for a everyday Doctor, except there was quite the amount of dried blood on his coat. Still, the Doc didn't really care about is appearance, in fact it looked like one of those Doctor's that stayed up all night to do some research, eye-bags low and redshot eyes.

Trying to understand the menu, it was all in Japanese. "Ugh, surprise me?" He asked to the waiter who also took Jenny's order. Hearing David, a loud thump was heard, Wanderer, who was directly across from David had a bottle of Whiskey on the table. "Oh not, this ... " The Wanderer said as a candy looking box fell out of nowhere onto the table. "Don't worry, this was invented for the knowledgeable ... it makes us focus more, so it should help Jenny or at least calm her down ... unless you want to give her morphine, but taking out a needle in here would be bad."

Getting up, he walked to Jenny and opened the box next to her. "Want a mint?" He said trying to trick her. The box looked like it was from the 70's or 80's, yet some red 'candy" looked all the new.

Violet, Merlin, Edge.
Location: G-Corp
Time: Night.

Not noticing Edge, Merlin continued looking through his small yet infinite book for the correct spell. "Still, Alchemist Violet, a mind like mind wishes not to be chained up in a cage like this." Merlin responded with wisdom as his finger finally stopped. Taking several steps back from the window and the giant hole in the wall, Merlin pointed to the ground and clicked his fingers. Electricity came from his gauntlets and made a neat little magical circle on the ground.

Walking through the magic unharmed, Merlin stood at the middle of the magic circle. If the lights were not entirely destroyed from before, the magical power here was making them blink, the levitating rocks/pebbles before began to glow blue and lightning began to dance around them. "Don't worry, nothing will harm you!" A confident cry came over the crackle of electricity.

[HEADING=1]"Tempus nequeat, ad praeteritum, quod in castello ubi erat."[/HEADING]

Merlin yelled out, the small book in his one hand slammed shut, the electric circle began to spin around half of the room until it blurred. It kept spinning and spinning until a blinding light appeared, sending Violet and Edge to cover their eyes. The light faded away, everyone opened their eyes and half of the room (From the window) appeared to be fixed completely.

Merlin was still there, eyes open, almost seeing starts. Breathing heavily, the magical aura surrounding him faded away and suddenly THE Wizard grasped his head and knelt down while muttering a few words really quickly.

Edge looked at Violet, at Merlin, and at the giant girder, and at the half of the room that was fixed. "I think Newton over there has it covered." Edge said. "You're Violet? Kaz told me I needed to talk with you, but I'm not sure why." Edge shuffled his feet. "I...kinda fell asleep while he was talking. I was very tired." Edge nodded in Merlin's direction. "Where do you find these people?"

Violet watched as the girder he was trying to move somehow began to glow before the bright flash engulfed the room and half of it was repaired right in front of their eyes.
"...Well....uuummmm....That works." He mused confusedly as Merlin took a moment to catch his breath.
"Well, do that a few more times and I'll drive you to the airport myself!" He then said as he propped Merlin up on a newly re-created chair.
"To answer your question: 1. Kaz put me in charge while he calms himself down. Seriously, you don't want to be on his bad side on a bad day. 2. They literally fall out of holes in reality. Don't know why, don't know where, they just do." He then said as he went over to a half constructed mini-fridge and handed Merlin a bent glass bottle of water.
"So Yeah. I'm in Charge until he's done doing...his thing...So *Ahem* What can I do for ya?"

 

[000Ronald]

Violet, Merlin, Edge.

Time: Night.

Edge had to stop and think for a moment. He was sure that Kaz wanted something from him, not the other way around. "Do you have a piece of paper? And a pen?"

"Yeah, sure." Violet shuffled around in his desk for a moment before bringing out several pieces of paper and a blue pen. "Here you go."

Edge nodded, and began drawing a picture. "I saw someone running across the rooftops during the lock-down." Edge said. "About 180 centimeters. Heavily built, but not bulky. And fast. Faster than I am, even. He went up and talked to Sli...Darkside for a couple minutes, then got the fuck out of there." Edge handed the paper [http://img0.etsystatic.com/001/0/7159732/il_340x270.388735992_9s2i.jpg] back to Violet. "That's just about the best sketch I can make of him. He had a red scarf and a weird sword that looked like a cross between a broadsword and a tonfa. This guy?" Edge tapped the picture he drew. "He's important. We need to find him; failing that we need to find as much information about him as possible. Icarus got a better look at him, he'll probably be able to give more information about him." Edge drummed his fingers on the desk, thinking again. "Also, I broke one of my swords, and I could use about thirty of these throwing knives." Edge pulled out his broken sword and two of his throwing knives. "Is there any way you could help with that? And as long as I'm down here, is there anything I can do for you?"

Time: Night.

Being sat up on the chair due to the helpfulness of Violet, Merlin gave a nod to the "Alchemist" in his eyes, the energy felt gone from his body and his magical circuit felt weak and yet almost haywire. "I would rather rest for now ... construction a world portal was very ... wasteful, of my energy and magic." Merlin muttered, smile still on his lips even if he was breathing quite heavily while drinking said water bottle, in due time he was looking at the material of the water bottle and trying to pronounce the brand on the plastic.

"No, I'm quite ... tired I say. Help would be very much appreciated and kind sir ... " Merlin said in a tired tone, trying to get up but could not. "I am Merlin ... Royal Adviser and Court Wizard to he- ... his Majesty, King Arthur Pendragon." Merlin said to Edge who gave a tired bow while still sitting down. "I'll help with cleaning in a bit ... just give me a minute to recover my lost energies." Merlin said once more, but this time he actually wondered if he could remember how to do physical labor.

"I really need ... " Merlin started to talk to himself but was cut off by a cough, it may have seemed minor but the iron taste in Merlin's mouth was not good. Immediately the Wizard stayed silent and tried to meditate so he could heal himself with the recovering magical energy. Funny enough, this world was magical, it certainly seems that magic was a primary energy here. The thought of if there were any of Wizards also came to the front of Merlin's mind.

Cancelling that thought, the Master Wizard only wondered what caused this, certainly something before caused all of this, and it was not the big loud man.

Violet looked at the sketch as he tried to figure out what it was he was looking.
"...So you saw a Ninja?...Okay...ummmm...I-i-I'll run it though the channels and see what turns up. As for the Sword and Knives, I'll have manufacturing sort something out for ya." He said as he took the drawing, the sword and the knives and placed them on a mostly intact table.
"While I'm not exactly *The* person to find this guy, Don't worry, Kazuya has like, entire armies for this sorta thing. We'll find him...[sub]sooner or later[/sub]..." He said, clearly a little worried about this situation, he didn't have the same skill for this Kaz did, but it'd only be for another few hours. Tops. Hopefully.
"Anyway Merlin, take all the time you want. I'll fire up the Com-Bot Cleaners!" He then added as he walked over to one of the Prototypes that were knocked aside in the blast and got to work on re-programming it.

Darkside.
Location: Detroit
Time: Night.

Darkside soon arrived in a Dark city His odd skin tone and massive size made him stand out not many people stood at 6'5 or had enough muscle mass to crush a car.
He walked around he kept an eye out for someone that fit his size. his boots simplyt weren;t big enough and were constrictive. he eventually found someone.
"I need your clothes
Your boots
and your motorcycle"
The big guy smirked
"You forgot to say please."
Darkside laughed and got a dark smile on his face.

A few minutes later Darkside was dressed in a leather jacket, thick black combat boots, and black jeans.
He began to look around
"Now I wonder if that meddlesome ninja is nearby."

Edge walked over to Merlin. "Hey. Newton. Are you alright?" Merlin didn't respond. "I'll take that as a resounding 'no'." Edge shook his head. "No. Not while I'm watching. Hey! Violet!"

"Yeah?"

"I'm gonna take a couple bottles of water." Edge said, doing just that. Violet nodded, engrossed in his work; Edge sat down next to Merlin, cutting the tops off of both bottles with a throwing knife.

Precisely what it sounds like. Rejuvenating water, when used properly, has the power to heal all wounds.

Requires cool, clear water to preform.

Edge chanted something in a language only he understood, stuck a finger in each of the two bottles, and slowly drew them out. The water stuck on his fingers, as if held there by a magnet. "Enough people have died today." Edge said, touching Merlin's chest with his two fingers. The water made a trail where his fingers went, and pooled where Edge touched Merlin. "And enough people have come close. No, today's been a bad enough day. And maybe you can help me, Kaz, and Izzy." Edge shook his head. "What the hell kind of name is Dark Excalibur, anyway? Sounds like something out of a bad television series. Not my point. My point is, you will be fine. Because I said so."

Time: Night.

"...Talk me though this again...You...Lost him?...How?..." Armstrong spoke over the video feed to Hiryu, who was who now outside Tokyo.
"I just told you. I got out of the city, as *you* ordered and now there is no trace him in the area. I've looked everywhere."
"Well how the hell did he slip pass you? It's not like he's a set of car keys, now is it?"
"Mr. Armstr-"
"That's Senator Armstrong to you."
"...Senator Armstrong, I can't help if if he was using some class of teleportation."
"...Grrrr...Fine. Just get your ass back here. First flight, boat, taxi, I don't care."

He then shut down the feed on his Office Computer and began to gaze out the window over the Denver skyline.
"Great, first that Vega bastard passes me in the polls, now this..." He groaned as pulled out a cigar and began to smoke it.
"...I'll find you yet, you ugly bastard..." He reassured himself before taking a nice long puff of his Cuban cigar as he leaned back in his chair.

Angelus blinked with unease at the thought that drugs had lead Jenny to act in the manner that she was now, and voiced her thoughts on the matter, "If it was drugs from your world that lead her to act this way, I think that less drugs would be the best option, or at least have her ingest something that induces a calm; but being of natural origins. Warm foods for a 'food coma', perhaps?" After giving her opinion, she turned to the waiter and ordered "Whatever sort of rare meat you have around here." while waiting for her pact partner to put a word in as well.

Caim, on the other hand, took a bit more of a forward approach and snatched the Mentats from the Wanderer's hands,

"Just what the hell do these things DO anyways? Who knows if they'll do with whatever you gave Jenny will react with these..."

He punctuated this with popping a Mentat in his mouth, grimacing a little at the dusty-yet-minty taste,

"They sure taste like dirt... Ugh, waiter, something strong to drink and, er... One of these Katsu-Udon things."

The warrior took a nice sip of the spirits brought to him, and blinked for a moment, as his vision seemed to get...Sharper?

"...Wanderer, is it normal for these things to make you feel like a high definition camera?"

[small]"Gods above..."[/small]

With the ability to sit properly at a table, Ton Ton seemed to calm down a bit from the wild ride, and ordered a juice with a simple bowel of ramen, with hopes that the food in question would help bring him down, before turning to Cadolbolg and saying, [color=15650D]"Cadolbolg, you wanna do something fast and crazy like that, we can try to convince Mr. Caim and Ms. Angelus to go to a theme park and we can ride a roller coaster. Then again, being able to fly might negate that..."[/color]
The turtle dragon baby tilted his head in confusion, and looked up at Devon, "Theme park? Roller Coaster? I don't know what those are... But I don't see why you guys didn't like the ride. We wore our seat-belts like we were supposed to. Well, Father didn't, but I think he learned his lesson for that."

Ton Ton shuddered at the thought of the car ride again, and muttered something along the lines of, [color=15650D][small]"I don't wanna talk about it."[/small][/color] before taking another sip of his juice.

Meanwhile, Teri gave a small smile at the shirt Ella had picked out, and went to try it on. To her happy surprise, it did look... Nice. Pretty much like something she'd wear back home. Walking back out of the fitting room, the Cleric shot a smile Ella's way, [color=0E59E4]"You weren't kidding, this looks good! You never told me you had an eye for fashion, Ells. I mean, you do clothes stuff every so often but... It's uncanny!"[/color]
However, the little reverie didn't last for long, and the Cleric's tummy gave a little growl, making Teri's smile look a bit on the embarrassed side, [color=0E59E4]"So, if I remember correctly, the restaurant was that way? Or did you want to do some more shopping first?"[/color]

Shadow Operatives Building: Canteen: Rugal, Garm

Garm gave Rugal a look akin to "You gonna eat that?" when the King of Fighters pushed away his plate, and then tucked into the remains of the meal before adding, [color=365D60]"When I say 'move forward', I don't mean forget everything and act like nothing has happened. That would be foolish. If you're so concerned about the damage your Other self made, then you should be working to fix it rather than sitting around and stewing about the situation. Myself and Ella had to tell Tear-ri that several times, especially once she implemented the Operation in tandem with Alpha Slindis."[/color]

"Operation?"

The wolf looked up to Rugal again and simply stated, [color=365D60]"The one to return you to yourself, of course. You are right. Once she saw you, or the Other you in that case, both parts of herself were very unhappy. At least, I got that impression in our discussion. I have not been able to share thoughts through the rings until very recently, so I do not have a great insight to Tear-ri's mind unless she's said things to me.

But, enough about that. The Operation is done and you are yourself again. Now the course of action to decide is how you want to fix your mistakes. I personally think that cleaning your den would be a start. It's pretty easy to get to and it doesn't require Alpha or the Pups to be around. After all, if you want to slay this caribou and feed the pack, you need to take out the legs first."[/color]

Welp, Garm being a wolf, that metaphor probably made a bit more sense to him; but seeing that Rugal was a reasonably intelligent individual, the bits of meaning he could glen was probably something along the lines of "Work on the small stuff first". However, another thing was made clear: Teri and Slindis, even if they weren't happy with what Rugal did while possessed, had certainly put some kind of effort into bringing him back to himself. There was hope yet... At least, Rugal could hope that there was.

Time: Night.

Merlin was mostly silent, trying to re-acquire his energies. Yet all the time he heard Edge speak and looked upon the man grabbing two of that plastic material filled with water, yet he cut it off. Next thing he knew was Edge directly in front of him with water sticking to his fingers, obviously magic or some technique. Placing the fingers against Merlin's chest created pools which began to heal. All among this, Merlin kept his composure and did not dare to move, especially since he was examining it himself.

Spoiler: Merlin's image in case you forgot.

The gem hanging around Merlin's and the crystal gauntlet reacted to the magic as well. Merlin breathed deeply while this all happened. "Agreed." Merlin simply said in reaction to the many deaths and injuries today, even he knew that this was too much, any was too much, which was why he dedicated most of his time to study, to find new ways so people may not be killed. Then Edge's request came up, noting that, the next mentions of Excalibur immediately gained a reaction from the Wizard and Druid.

Merlin shook with movement, but kept himself calm. "Excalibur ... dark!?" Merlin simply said in shock, thinking to himself for a couple of seconds, he realized that it wasn't his world's Excalibur, that still laid with her Majesty. Blowing air out of his lungs, Merlin was relived. "Still ... a dark Excalibur. That cannot be good, anything related to the Arthur legend will not be good." Merlin said mostly to himself, "It might cause more death." Was the final sentence Merlin said before getting off the topic.

"It certainly does seem something bigger is behind this, I shall consider this offer ... umm ... you didn't introduce yourself? Is it not apart of the manners in this world?" Merlin asked the Edge in front of him, yet the thoughts of Dark Excalibur cannot escape him.

Surprised at Caim's action, this didn't lead for the Wanderer demand to get them back, instead the Wanderer who stood up near Jenny and Caim, while dodging the Waitresses and other customers, apologizing when he could, he mostly stared at Caim, inspecting him as if he were another patent of his. "You can certainly be right." He pointed out to Angelus, "Too much can certainly be bad, especially if they had already had something ... but sometimes, you need to take risks, sometimes there are injured soldiers demanding to fight ... and you do everything you can to help them and help the battle in front of you." Wanderer said with a all-knowing look, which eventually lead to a sad smile.

"Everything in my world comes with risks ... which makes me annoyed at magic, we could have saved so many lives." Wanderer said, with the mention of magic he looked towards Kalastyrn, turning immediately back with a normal smile to Caim, he responded to the Warrior's reaction. "Many intelligent individuals use this 'candy' to say, even I use it ... and yes, it makes one focus more, mentally and physically ... as for the taste, you don't really get a choice in my world. We should be glad that we are eating noodles instead of irradiated dog meat found on the side of the road." The Wanderer spoke confidently to Caim, satisfied with the normal reaction. Now it was time for Jenny.

After his own formal-ish handshake which he stole from the Camelot Royal Knights, Merlin stood up, feeling full of energy and a surge of magical energy. Hopping up from the chair, Merlin made sure he was alright by flexing his body on the main floor of the lab. Once checking out his physical body, Merlin stretched his arms out wide and turned on his magical circuit once more, for a brief amount of time a force was emitted from Merlin which levitated him from the floor for a meter, his white hair was dancing along.

Landing and turning it off, Merlin turned around to Edge. "Always nice to meet someone new Edge." Merlin said back to him before taking a formal bow. "Yes, I am Merlin. Court Wizard of Camelot and Royal Adviser to his Majesty, King Arthur Pendragon. As you can see, I am very much intrigued by the mentions of a Excalibur here." Merlin said with his happy smile, also glad that he didn't once again almost ruin the Majesty's secret.

Oh. Edge thought. One of those. Edge had been to hundreds of different worlds (he despised the word 'universes'; a universe was literally all matter, you couldn't have more than one of them), and while most of them were mostly the same, there were also...oddities. Worlds that were stuck in one era or another, or were so far ahead of most of the others as to be indistinguishable from the rest. Edge had even been to worlds where humanity had never existed.

Dragging himself up off the ground, Edge said, "I wouldn't be the one to ask about that. I just heard Icarus mention it. I know this is going to sound stupid, but...you're a magician, right? A professional magician? Not just a guy who can palm a coin? I know I saw you do..." Edge gestured around the room. "...that, but I've seen other people do similar things with really high tech."

Time: Night.

Hearing Edge talk about what kind of Magician he is baffled Merlin a bit. Coughing a bit to interrupt into the talk after Edge mentioned that other people did this kind of thing, Merlin's smile only grew brighter, even almost cocky like. "Magician, Mage, Magus, Druid, Sage, Wizard, Alchemist and occasional Dragon tamer ... I have many titles, in a professional manner I would refer to myself as a Magus or Magician." Merlin said to the man who had just healed him, remembering that he used water and turned it into some kind of healing potent power.

"But do not underestimate that spell, it may be simple and a version that effected some of the surrounding environment ... but that spell reversed the time to when half this chamber was built. But in my current state thanks to your "magic", I have regained my magical energy and should be ready to do anything. Like this ..." Merlin said as he clicked his fingers and another electrical magical circle appeared on the ground, crackling and fizzing with excitement.

The circle was not an ordinary one like before, but it had changed to a special circle. Walking to the circle, Merlin placed his hand over it and simply said, "Excalibur.". The electrical circle coiled up into the shape of a two-handed sword, it started to slightly glow as electricity was transformed into golden metal of a holy sword.

And there it was, Excalibur.

Spoiler: The Holy Sword

Merlin picked it up and had no problem with swinging it around. "This is the Excalibur of my world ... but do not fret, it is no threat. This is not the real one, it is simply a replication, it has a fraction of it's true power ... and this one only costs a bit of magic to create, the real one ... that would defy space time and leave a very angry Quee- ... King." Merlin looked confused but fixed his sentence at once. "Besides, it will fade away in due time ... and it could be easily broken. And if you are wondering about the missing sheath, that is another story in general." Merlin said, smile becoming more and more calm as it seemed he was receiving a memory flashback like a wave.

"No person in this world can do this, for I am Merlin, one who has dedicated his life to magic for the good will of life." Merlin said in a superior tone, still calm at heart. Looking towards Edge he gave a yawn. "No matter the magic ... the body still needs sleep at one point, I wonder when was the last time I slept." Merlin said stepping to Edge, a few steps away he looked at Edge face to face. "Anyway, enough about that, lets talk about you ... and what you just did to me." Merlin said, but a certain stomach rumbled immediately. "Ugh ... over some food?" The superior tone went away in favor for an awkward one that yearned for food.

" ... I really hate doing things like that."

Inner city: Noodle Shop: Jenny, David, Kalastryn, Wanderer, Devon, Caim, Teri, Angelus, Caim, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg

Jenny was busy getting loaded on wine prior to the meal when Wanderer offered her a mint.
"Sure, Thanks! Oh, you might also want these back. Sorry, just got caught up in the moment." She said as she took the Mentat as well as handing Wanderer back his Lucky Shades.
While it wasn't an exact science, Wanderer could only think of how things could have ended if Jenny didn't have the extra luck.
Still, the important thing is Jenny had another drug that could have an unknown effect on her inside her body.
"Think I'll have....Hm...The Fugu." She then calmly, thought the waiter seemed to be extremely on edge for some reason as he reluctantly took her order.
As the Waiter went around, Jenny seemed to get a slight headache as she held her head slightly before taking another sip of her wine.

While he was somewhat glad that there was *A* plan, Considering it might have been Wanderer's drugs that got them into this mess in the first place, David wasn't entirely convinced as he just half assed picked the least confusing food: A European style omelette.
As Caim seemed to reel slightly from the taste and the effects it was having on his brain, He was starting to worry
"...And you are SURE these will work? I mean, 200 year old mints?..." He pointed out to Wanderer as the Waiter returned with some sort of legal document which Jenny signed without really looking at it.
"...Wait, what was that about?" He asked as the Waiter rushed around the table asking for other orders while looking rather concerned for Jenny.
"...The fuck is a "Fugu"?" He then asked as he saw the dish on the menu.

Wanderer lived a life without magic huh? That was something Kala was too unfamiliar with. While she became a wizard through actually studying magic, she awakened as a sorcerer at a fairly young age, therefore having at least baser magics for a majority of her life. Thinking on how things could have been had it not existed at all in her world... she visibly shudders.

"Well... Wanderer, was it? Magic isn't without risks either. When it comes to magic to defend yourself with you can spend precious time casting one only to realize you didn't move correctly, or said the first word wrong, and the whole thing will just refuse to work, in the middle of a fight. Clerics of my world were bound to their gods, and if they had angered their deity they could be left without their spells as well, and clerics are typically the healers, so their entire group would suffer, unable to recover from injuries. Even worse for paladins, who get many of their strengths from the same source, only if they do even the slightest wrong thing and don't atone for it they lose everything, no ability to smite evil, heal, or in some cases even defend themselves were they reliant on magic to do so. They have to be quite paragon in everything they do, or find themselves able to do very little. Magic is not without risks, but it should be used where available. You are right, you could have saved many lives were it available to you before. However, there is a difference between a distaste and spitting at it. Just because you didn't have it before doesn't mean it shouldn't be a usable tool now." She stated, actually seeming to be diplomatic about it, and not showing any distaste towards Wanderer or his own opinions.

That's when she saw Jenny signing a contract and, given the place they were, didn't like the look of it. Signing a waver to eat a potentially poisonous fish was uncommon where she was from. Far less uncommon, however, was the signing of a waiver after the purchase of a "Potion of Wonder" which could be anything from regenerating your spellcasting abilities, to burying you in lit demolition charges. Needless to say, it was unnerving.

"Y- you sure you shouldn't have read that first? If your meal comes with a contract you really shouldn't eat it..." She said, as hypocritically her own stomach started to growl. She didn't want to trust this place's food, but... it's not like she grew up eating caviar and Filet Mignon... As the waitress came to her, she simply said. "Surprise me... just nothing with a waiver, please. No, really..." She said, again looking as worried as the waitress for Jenny before borrowing the waitress's ear, whispering to her and taking out a handful of gold coins in a manner to where Jenny, either out of not paying attention or a slyly hidden hand, couldn't see them. "I will leave all of these as a tip if you make sure whatever she gets is safe, preferably not... "Fugu." I just don't want to see her get hurt..." she said, pulling away from the waitresses ear and grinding the coins together lightly, making a soft though metallic clinking sound before putting them back in her pocket with a grin.

Spoiler: Bluff Check

(Rolled a 29. Reason it's a bluff check in my thinking is because, well... even though it's for a very good reason, Kala is being a little shady and asking the waitress to do something a little bit against her job. Now a 29 is a pretty good roll considering I take it the waitress doesn't want anything to happen with the "potentially" poisonous fish, it's actually something she might be likely to do anyway if I'm correct. Even if I'm wrong and they normally wouldn't, it's still a decent number to put up, even more so when you add the fact there's money in it for her as well. Nothing would really have to go wrong should the waitress say no anyway, save Jenny dining with danger, but it's more of, in my thinking, putting a likelihood to the aforementioned indecent proposal going through, and Jenny getting something else.)

"Anyone else?"
