Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel chuckles, squeezing her hand back, "Yeah, the Serpent's Gaze hotel. I did something stupid and ended up getting captured. Good to see the trend of me ending up in a bad situation after a mission is continuing," Despite his words, Harnel finds that fact simply funny, and his tone takes on a bit of a lighter aspect. The handsome comment probably helped.
He leans his head against the bars, still looking at Cessie. He wants to say something, but doesn't. He wants to tell her that he was afraid she wouldn't like him anymore, wouldn't love him. A stupid worry, but he couldn't keep it from nagging at him.

She grins back and gives his hand a quick kiss, "See? You haven't changed at all. You're still the same Harnel I decided to marry, the same man I decided to have children with. This haven't changed anything dear, you're still going to be the father of our twins and they like me will love you no matter what." She yet again moves his hand to touch her swollen stomach which is starting to get rather large.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel rests his hand against her stomach, careful about the new shape of his claws, and the first truly genuine, unhindered smile Cessie has seen since she came down shows up on Harnel's face. Children. That's something he'll never stop being happy with.
"Si itov wux kiri, Sia Memamosal," I love you two, my wife. Harnel will attempt to put a hand behind her neck and draw her closer for a kiss.

Cessie wasn't really prepared for a kiss, the risk of infection and all. But while she decides to return it, she makes sure not to exchange any bodily fluids, just in case.
So it won't really be a make out, just a short kiss as he pulls her close with only the bars separating them. Her tummy fitting right between them.
"You really need to learn me that language sometime dear, when we aren't dealing with all this. It sounds beautiful, plus, I would be able to understand Kashi better right?" She tells him softly.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel smiles, at least a bit glad for a topic change. He'll let go of Cessie at that point, opening the bag to see what food was brought to him. A burger, fries, and a soda! Yum! "The grammar is similar to Hestopian, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's fairly easy for you to learn. It's mostly about learning what words mean what."

Meanwhile, he shoots KR a telepathic message.
You wanted something?
[Infirmary?]
Indeed, I wanted to discuss the base.
Messages KR, pulling the roll of paper she had before back out of a pocket, where she presumably put it so she could receive Harnel's blood samples.
...
Wonder what she's going to do with those now anyway. Probably dispose of them in a safe and responsible manner. No nefarious deeds here. Nope. >.>

"I have never been particularly good at languages however and in this world you don't even seem to need more then one. Everyone can understand each other perfectly." Cessie replies as she looks at her husband eating, actually starting to get rather hungry herself.
"It's hard to see you in a cell." She comments after a while.
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel will share the food with her, if she asks, making sure to make a show of taking off any parts that he's bitten into himself, "I talked with Kate not too long ago about that very thing. Seems like most people just have their most used language as the common tongue here."
When she says the next part though, he sighs a bit, "It's hard to be in one. I want to be home. I want to be in my own bed, not in some dungeon," he sighs, "But I also don't want to hurt anybody, and I don't know how I'm going to act around everybody."
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Cessie won't ask for any food, she'll wait to buy some of her own. This kind of hunger is quite alien to her.
As he replies she'll nod again, "Yes, I see what you mean. This cell doesn't look like a very good environment to be in in the mental condition you're in right now. But Arik is coming over to help me putting up wards on the keep, perhaps we could construct a eldritch holding cell for you as well?" She suggests.
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel's entire body visibly twitches at the mention of Cessie's brother. He's not ok with the fact that Arik is undead. never has been, and likely never will be. But he's Cessie's brother, and they love each other, so Harnel makes no comment on that for now, "I'd appreciate that. I hope it's not too difficult to manage?"
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Cessie can't see his twitch because of the darkness and just smiles. "Not with Arik's help no, we can probably set something up in less then a day if we work hard enough."
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel nods, "Alright then. I'd be nice to be at home rather than here."
He scratches his chin for a moment, before saying, "Have you told Arik about the twins? If so, what was his reaction?"
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
The sorceress gives him an odd look, "Of course I told him, he was one of the first I revealed it to in fact. And he's happy." After explained it was what she wanted of course.
"He likes children, he always has. He even asked if he could be there at their birth."

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
"I'm glad they'll have an uncle that cares for them," Harnel says, remembering his own experiences with family. The difference here is that the only reason Harnel dislikes Arik is a single thing about him. A single, rather glaring thing, but it's just one thing all the same, "A family should be there for the newborns coming to them, don't you agree?"
His tone is a bit awkward, almost like he's going out of his way to make an effort to like Arik.
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Shouldn't dislike Cessie for turning him into said thing as well then? :smallconfused:
"Of course they should, that's how you bound after all. The only problem is the rest of my family, not to mention yours. I'm not sure either of them would be very comfortable here in the nexus."
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel shakes his head, "Nope. And we're not going to invite them either. We'll send a card or something, but I won't have anybody but Gran at our children's birth from my side of the family." He really dislikes his family.
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
She sigh, "Yes I guess it's too much trouble. Too bad though as I know that at least a few of them really would have wanted to here when it happens."

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel sighs himself, "They'll know, but this is supposed to be a happy occasion. I won't have Roran ruin it with his incessant taunting or anybody else trying to screw it up." Harnel is actually making himself a bit upset just thinking about Roran. He hates his cousin with a passion.

"I guess could have them come by later, there are still months to go after all." She pauses, watching him finishing his meal. "But will you be okay will I arrange for something at home? You'd like be left here a while but we can always communicate telepathically."
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
Harnel nods, "I'll be fine here. It isn't as nice as home, but it's far from the worst place I've ever stayed. if something comes up, we can talk telepathically, like you said."
-
Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.
[Holding Cell]
"Okay... I'll be back later then dear. I should probably talk to the others first and see if they'll allow it." She gives his hand a final squeeze and smiles. "See you in a bit." And then she leaves.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.

Harnel, for his part, goes back to the bed here in the cell and lays down in it. It isn't long before he's off to sleep. Not much else to do down here until all of his stuff gets brought in

Mister Squiggles chitters. Save who you can, mourn the rest. There isn't another way in these situations.
Alternatively, he could be wondering if they want him to build some high tech manacles for the slaves that could shock and possibly pop open at the push of a button. Much better than those poorly done 'loose manacles' no one actually falls for these days.
Or he is asking if anyone brought snacks to this meeting.
Maybe he even said all three.
[Prison]
Butler would come here and talk to Harnel as he cleaned the floors, but I don't think he's even allowed in the area outside the cells. Nasty habit of offering to let prisoners go free you see. >>
No conversation for Harnel! :smalltongue:

"It just need to be something easy to hide."
"If it's something anyone can use, then I can do it. It won't make sense for me to be armed, so I won't be very useful in a fight. My main job will be to act as a liaison with the slaves." Brand says.
Brand shakes his head at Mister Squiggles. "I don't think we should be manacled. We're supposed to be actively doing stuff for our 'Master', and that would interfere. Maybe just collars?"
As for the earlier question of the morality of slave trading vs slave owning, Brand considers them equally bad. There wouldn't be traders if there weren't buyers.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.

Oh right. They aren't there on the pretense of buying/selling. They're there on the pretense of master/slaves coming to... umm...
Well Mister Squiggles doesn't need to know that part. He chitters and heads out to his lab to go make some easy snap, variable size, remote shock slave collars.

"Small, easily hideable objects?" The ball is in Justin's court now. He pulls his duffle bag in front of him and opens it for the group to see. "Shoelaces, paperclips, bottlecaps, pens, costume jewelery... Just tell me when you see something you like." Among other things visible are odd looking laser batteries, candy bars, bullets, and a bag full of rolls of money.
"And you speak spider?" he asks Brand.

"No, but I can sort of understand him," Brand says. :smallconfused: "I don't know why that should be."
Player cites precedent in Bilbo being able to understand and taunt giant spiders in Mirkwood. Also player cites convenience. :smalltongue:

Yeah she referes to PC for a nature thing.
Wolfgang nods. "Sure, but I don't exactly have access to my home world at the moment, so it is difficult at best for me to attain samples of plants to compare these to."

Well after all she isn't really intressed into plants. There are so less in her world.
"Well then good luck Wolfgang. Oh and I think you could ask Sakura about the plants as well. As far as I know she is half plant or such."

"My thanks, Frau Mechanicus. Hopefully, we shall see each other again." And with that, Wolfgang returns to his studies, unless Mia wants to talk further.
