She believes it is keeping her from saving Reinholdt. Magtok, will you help us? Please? I don't want Ermine going alone.
Magtok frowns, shooting a glance towards Ermine that probably says an awful lot about what he thinks of being stuck alone with a bloodthirsty pirate and that smelly corpse she insists on hauling around. As much as part of him thinks saying no to Melody would be rude and improper, she really should've seen this response coming, knowing exactly what kind of history the cyborg had with that wretched feline.
"I think Ermine's a big girl and perfectly capable of fending for herself. HALO's not that far, and certainly not about to bite someone just because they're hauling a dead body around."
This death might've meant something to Magtok if he cared about the cat, and even then, it's certainly not the first time Reinholdt has ever died, either. If Rein lives, then yay, the two adversaries might fight at some point in the future. If not, too bad, but there's still plenty of other rivals and nemeses on Magtok's list. One empty spot isn't going to make that much difference.

Chris finally finds her, noting that she seems to be practicing. He decides to hang back and watch, waiting for her to finish her training before he goes and talks to her. He leans against a nearby tree, watching and waiting.

In the meantime though, he doesn't really have much to add to the conversation.

"I guess I need to have my children meet yours before they get too old then if they mature so quickly." Cessie tells Julie. She figures it would be good to have her offspring quickly come in contact with the weirder elements of the nexus to grow more acceptable to it already at birth. They were going to spend a lot time here after all.

Re: {Nexus} GLoG LXXX: The Continuation of a New Era!
Lakeside - Tomorrow
Julie walks over to her own shovel and fishes it out of the sand, strutting back to the dig site and trying to time her own shovelfuls with his so they don't smash together.
"No offence meant honey, but we really don't have time for pleasantries if we're going to dig this up before someone sees us and asks themselves just what the heck's up. I'd have asked you to come at night, but the kids get whiny, and it would look even more suspicious. If we had a metal detector, we could at least say we were trying to find some interesting beach things.
Anyway, my point is, there really isn't time for pleasantries. Best save those lungfuls for digging, sug." Julie pauses after she's done speaking, did she ever tell Justin she was pregnant? Geeze, the things you miss when your friends are away I guess.
"I've been alright. Settled back down, cut a deal with Remnant, going through some rehab... Eric's back, reincarnated in a new body. Twins are healthy, and growing fast. Everything seems pretty idyllic for now. Bit boring too, honestly." Why else would she be digging up a live, angry pirates treasure unless she was bored and looking for excitement? Well, besides the oodles of cash.

"I'd be happy to, just wait here and I'll get the crib ready. It should hold all three of them just fine." Julie heads off to the children's room, taking Prism from Eric's arms if he lets her.
She'll be in there for a bit before she has things cleaned up and presentable, but when she's done she calls out, "Come bring the kids in, we can probably drop them off and then head to supper if you'd like."

And so Marty will have his wounds treated and his new leg attached!
The old leg probably gets a Psionic Disintegrate. Can't have Magtoks getting their grubby chrome hands on it after all.

Leg disintegration...scary....now what would Magtoks possibly want with a damaged leg? :smallconfused::smalleek::smallyuk:
Marty's writ wounds are feeling better now that they are uninfected and he's in a very good shape. His scars still shine out pink across his kin, but there's not much you can do about that, (That Marty would allow at least). He wakes up, I...what...oh....Vidalia?

"Sorry, idle chit-chat keeps me moving. I can walk miles without noticing if I have someone to talk to." No cars in the Georgia Wasteland. "It's great that Eric's back. You two deserve a little happy after all that. And kids? Has it really been that long?" He seriously doubts it's been nine months. True to his word, he works through the talking.

"Found out the night I got taken in by Remnant, and then two months later, there they were. Not every race works the same way, you know? Although two months can be a bit fast, even for someone like me." Fast and painful, almost deliriously so. She's certainly never looking forward to something like that again.
"What about you? Can't have just dropped off the radar completely, or Wally wouldn't have found you. That reminds me, he gave me some cash to cover a soda for you, the next time you're Mallside. I think he likes you." Julie pauses for a breath, clearly not as used to talking and working, or even doing this kind of heavy manual work at all, and fishes a bit of change out of a pocket sewn into her dress, holding it out to Justin.
Of course, with the score they're about to hit, it's rather meaningless, but the gesture is nice.

Melody comes out of the mind-link and looks up at Magtok. She's not going to be hauling Reinholdt around. she smiles kindly. But okay. I can see you have better things to do. Thank you anyway. She stands up.
Come on, Ermine. Let's search for this Erin person. I think it's a girl.

Marty grasps her hand and does not move. He's not holding her hand for any reason save reassurance. He closes his eyes and leans back on the bed. I...I can't f-feel my l-leg...Er...it d-doesn't....hurt...It's... He opens his eyes and looks up at Vidalia. I...is i-it Ok? M-My leg?

Answering the door is Phoenix. He is a human. Male, of course, quite handsome, dressed in well worn, but obviously fine clothes in pleasing warm color shades. His sole piece of jewelry is a polished bronze medallion, engraved with a strange glyph, and he carries no weapons. Visibly, anyway. You can never be too sure with these pacifist types... e_e
"Yes? May I help you?" He says.

"That's nice of him. I'm actually sorry about what I said afterwards," Justin says taking the money. "Well the day after the casino, I went by your place to check up on you. And you were gone. Then I met your grumpy ghost brother. When I found out you were at Remnant I tried hatching a plan to "rescue you." Even cut my hair and was going to die it." He lowers his head, it's had some time to grown in, but his hair isn't as messy as it was when they first met. "But there's this deadtime right in the stylist's chair. So I'm stuck for a while. A bit later, I'm free and clear meet a short guy named Brand Applehill. He works here actually, he's the chef, I think. We hit it off, fast friends and everything. Few days later, we meet in the market, and he asks me a favor, help him save slaves from a cult. Right now, I'm waiting on some enchanted rings that'll make it easier to coerce the slaves to leave with us*." Throughout all this talking he manages to work without missing a beat. Guess it's just something he got used to. This is until he stops for a moment. He stares at his hands. He wrings his hands for a moment and looks unsure for a second, but then starts working again. "So, kids? Twins at that. Are they identical?"
((*This is essentially me deciding where in the timeline Justin is.))

Bellan claims to be quiet the pacifist, but the rifle slung on his back is hard to miss. The Vraal, who's currently dressed in a common cotton shirt and a pair of giant's pants, bows to the human.
"You may. I've come to ask GLoG's help. My friend's tavern has been troubled, of late, by a dark spirit. I would ask that it be... removed. Peacefully." He looks up at Pheonix pleadingly. "I can compensate GLoG, for it's efforts. If there is such a magician here, of course."

"I can perform the banishment." Says Phoenix.
"And I will need no compensation. Though perhaps the organization could benefit from a donation."
Phoenix may be a moral sort of person, but denying money when it's freely given is just silly.

Bellan's no cheapskate, either. He reaches into a pouch at his belt and retrieves a small sack. This is offered to Pheonix. Upon inspection, the sack holds several oval-shaped gems of various sizes. Several thousand gold's worth, if one happens to be an appraiser.
The giant grins, relieved. What luck! Fate must be pleased with him. "Thank the Wheel. Take it, brother. Could you come right away? We've the creature trapped, momentarily."

It eventually clicks. Marty wiggles his toes curiously. It...d-doesn't f-feel too d-different...it d-doesn't hurt...and I c-can feel it... He shivers as she runs a hand down his foot. Ah! S-Stop...that t-tickles. He can't help but let a small smile show before his normal blank expression returns.
