Eira, for her part, follows the tour closely, learning the lay of the area, and desperately trying to avoid mentioning the recent...incident.
[Tour]
Barring anythign else, the tour ends before long, with an informed Eira and a nervous Carrie!
I am skilled in both close quarters combat and the use of small arms and rifles. I also am a novice pilot. Xellia replies. I'm best with small arms with minimal recoil out of the four though, due to the medical aspect of my job, which requires me to be able to dive into the fray to get to the wounded, and it most often brings me to the front lines. And I can't exactly move my patient out of the way of harm if i'm firing an assault rifle and want to hit my target, can I?
Xellia chuckles.
[Tour]
Did we visit Magtok? Because I think he's having a problem right now, one that would be hilarious for a goddess and an ex-goddess to comment on.
[Tour - Outside MagOffice]
Well, the last stop is to visit the boss... the new boss, actually.
Carrie reaches for the door, not knowing the ludicrous horror awaiting her on the other side...
MagOffice - War Nurse
"That's true. Well then, I think I've heard enough. You're in, Ms. Arabana. There's a spare room in the dorms, just pick one out that doesn't look occupied. Knock first though, just to be on the safe side."
She's either genuine, or a sneaky evil drow spy who knows what she's doing and isn't a completely incompetent buffoon. Either way, he'll probably be able to find a use for the dark elf.
MagOffice - Piles of Naked Women
It's actually a rather spacious office. Or was, anyways. Magtok's rather paralyzed with fear right now, hiding behind his desk in utter astonishment as the former slaves as they just keep pouring into the room. Who knew there were even this many slaves in the Nexus?! Why do they keep appearing, what do they want, what in the hell is going on?! :smalleek:
Magtok - War Nurse 2: War of the Nurses
Xellia nods.
Thank you sir.
She then leaves.
And closes the scene behind her, presumably.
[The End of the Line]
Eira nods and waits for Carrie to introduce her to the boss of HALO, also completely unaware of the mountain of scantily clad women on the other side of the door. And also Magtok is somewhere in there, I suppose.
[Outside Magoffice]
Carrie opens the door and is promptly swamped by a flood of people wearing far too few items of clothing.
THIS IS STUPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID
[THE FLOOOOOD]
Eira is also caught up in the flood, screaming, "AHHH! WHAT IN THE NAME OF ME IS GOING ON!"
Inside the MagOffice
The flood subsides! Thank goodness someone opened the door, Magtok might've drowned in there or something! :smalleek:
He's still caught under his desk for now, the spinny chair the only thing separating him from some Slave Leia's flailing arms, blindly reaching out, seeking some guilty neck to strangle for this embarrassing mishap.
[Flood Of People]
Carrie digs herself out of a pile of people, swearing under her breath and shoving a bunch of writhing bodies off her lap.
Thanks, I needed to feel horrifically violated today.
The Flood:
A very confused Shoyler stumbles out of Magtok's office, looking thoroughly bewildered. He had no idea what to do or say. So, he picks himself up from the floor and looks about, trying not to step on any poor individual. I... suppose I succeeded?
The Flood
A metal arm reaches out from under Magtok's desk, as Maggy tries to find a way out that won't involve being pressed uncomfortably close to someone else. "Shoyler, you're very lucky that I don't have the power to fire you from HALO. You're also very lucky that I'm stuck here, and can't punch all of your teeth out. Fix this, immediately."
The Floooooooood
Eira pops up next to Carrie, sputtering and spitting a little water out as she says, "What...What the...Why are there many naked women around? And why did they flood out of your leader's office, Carrie? Is there something I should know? Is there something you didn't tell me about this place? Is it a weird place?"
Shoyler stands up and makes sure he isn't accidentally groping some poor individual. He's obviously quite uncomfortable, though he's not as covered. Magtok seems to have taken the brunt of the flood. You gave me a transporter, but didn't tell me where to put them! I only ever went to this room, really, so I guess it decided to port them here! They're free now though, so that's good. I don't... Uhh. Magtok, was there actually a plan after this? Or? What?
Dani, as it happens, hears Carrie hollering and starts in her direction...
===
Meanwhile: Occupying the arriving transport is a certain white-haired young-looking lady. Although she's wearing contacts today. Blue ones.
With them, one might well assume it's Erin.
[Transport]
With her is a similarly white-haired, maroon-eyed young lady. Which is totally coincidential.
This one, it seems, could be mistaken for Carrie based on her face, if one did not pay attention to the expressions she makes with it, or the way she carries herself.

[Ladypile]
Carrie waves weakly to the tiny redhead, extricating herself from the people and shuddering.
[Hallway]
And Dani hurries over to Carrie.
"Carrie! Are you okay?!" the little redhead calls, concerned.
===
[Transport]
The transport docks, andArinathe Erin-lookalike disembarks.
"Remember, Nettie. Fly casual." she observes, stretching.
Magtok is seething! And also still trapped! "Get these ex-slaves to GLoG or something before I punch your teeth out, gather them all in a bag, and then pelt you with them until you start crying. That's the plan. The longer I'm stuck under this desk, the more serious I'm going to be about the teeth thing."
[Transport - Entrance]
Tenet nods lazily, slipping on a pair of headphones.
Yeah, I know. Walk in like we own the place, nobody will think we don't.
She cricks her neck, yawning softly and glancing at her companion with relaxed eyes, not even trying to hide the quick look she attempts to take down her top.
Jeez, Tenet.
---
[Hallway]
Carrie nods. Y-yeah. I... think... are you alright? She has bandaged hands and sounds hoarse.
[Hallway]
"Better than you...Carrie? What's happened?" Dani asks, reaching for Carrie's shoulder.
===
[Another Hallway]
Arina smirks. Doesn't discourage the view.
And strides in, searching for what she's looking for.
She figures she'll know it when she sees it.
[Hallway - Dangerous Ladies]
Tenet follows her lead; after all, Arina knows the way better. Her eyes slide hither and thither as she walks along beside the other woman.

[Hallway - Cuddly Ladies]
Well, I've been really weak after I Descended... and I scraped my knees and hands up yesterday. I'll be fine, though.
Kyne and Civvy with Chantelle can find each other now.
There are many rooms in HALO nobody has been in for years. They serve as tombs for the characters of players who have moved on. The characters themselves are remembered by those who remain, usually, but they might as well be dead. Permadeadtime is an awful thing, one which undeadtimed PCs instinctively avoid. So only the DRDs travel down certain halls in the base, cleaning the dust where no feet fall, but unable to remove the goop that consumes characters once so full of life. There are many rooms in HALO sealed in solid deadtime for years. But only one has cracks.
Gods and Paladins In Hallways!
Shantelle simply nods in response to Civvy...
And then presumably notices Kyne!
If so, she strides up to her.
Kynegetis, [insert title of her's if she has one]!
Shantelle suddenly kneels before her.
My name is Shantelle Swartzweld, Huntress. My blade is in your service of you will it to be.
[Hallway - Dangerous Ladies]
Arina leads the way down the dusty hall, pausing at each door and examining it critically...before, finally, pausing outside the one with cracks.
"Well, here we go. Looks like what we're looking for."

Dani frowns. Pouts, even!Quote:

And goes to give Carrie a hug!
