The Brightheart
The Brightheart is a plain orb, set upon a stone plinth labeled 'The Brightheart'. Also on the plinth is a note that says:
'Do Not Remove. Ever. No, not even then. (But maybe then.)'
The Brightheart itself glows with inner light, and throws up a positive energy blanket of moderate strength (heals most surface wounds, and makes undead sick) a few meters in radius. Touching the Brightheart results in having a large amount of positive energy run through you (heals all wounds, and drives undead to near death). Inside the plinth itself is a gate to the Negative Energy realm, which draws off the excess positive energy from the Brightheart. Should the Brightheart be removed, and taken away from the base without the necessary preparations being made, two Very Bad Things^TM will happen.
A) The Brightheart's positive energy will not be siphoned off, and so it will be returned to full strength, throwing up a powerful positive energy blanket about a kilometer in radius, and killing anyone who touches it, living or no, through sheer positive energy overdose.
B) The gate to the Negative Energy realm will become unstable and tear, creating a giant Negative Energy rift in the middle of GLoG.

The GLoG portals:

Spoiler

Show

The portal between GLoG and HALO is still open, providing instantaneous transportation between the two organisations.
But anyone passing through it arrives outside the front door. If they've already been cleared (previously interacted with GLoG without hostilities), they can walk straight in without having to roleplay out knocking on the door and so on.
There is also a smaller portal operating between GLoG and Farthing Cottage

First time visitors, or people who have previously caused trouble have to wait for someone to undeadtime to decide whether they can enter the building (GLoG), or not, unfortunately. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Butler looks relieved and nods. "I'm glad ma'am." Yay! Everything is probably going to be ok!

He'll go to give Quinn the aspirin instead, but pause. "Wait... are babies affected by medicine ma'am?" It might be dangerous. A rare insight on Butler's part, but he has heard of that before, so is uncertain about giving Quinn anything.

Not that I've ever heard before. Shania says with certainty. I believe they love aspirin. Shania grins, wickedly.

Actually I think they do sometime react badly. I think that we should wait till Quinn wakes up normally. Maybe put some ice on her head where she hit it. Astrid speaks up frowning at Shania.

Well... it's only aspirin. He'd probably resist more if it was sedatives or something big and restricted like that. This is the over the counter stuff, it's got to be safe for babies!

"They like it ma'am? I always thought it was icky ma'am." :smallconfused:

He shrugs and goes to feed unconscious Quinn 800 mg of the stuff. Cause getting hit in the head with a wall hurts a lot and we need to get that brain to slow down and stop firing those pain receptors, right?

Accursed ninjas. Not changing all that now. But Butler will get ice for Quinn's head in addition to whatever he's already done. Of course, Astrid could always grab his arm and say no when he tries to feed the pills.

Who are you!? Shania glares at Astrid.

But Daisuke wasn't even there and has no idea what's going on! *flails wildly*
*gives Astrid the chance to do it instead*

All right.

*deletes earlier*

Daisuke walks in. What's happening?

Well Astrid doesn't grab him. And she blinks as she is yelled at by Shania. I'm Astrid. Who are you?

Well then whether Quinn gets medicated is up to Bushranger.

"Quinn ran into the wall after making Shania better and got knocked out."

What... did you just give her?

It's none of your business. Shania snears at Astrid. Now leave us alone. We are handling things just fine.

"Medicine to make sure she's not in pain sir." Or possibly nothing. Depends on BR of course.

He goes to get ice for Quinn's head and holds it there for her.

A med drone approaches.

Reply: Mr Butler B. Butler offered the patient the equivalent of 2 aspirin tablets.
Advisory: While some studies recommend against taking aspirin during pregnancy, others have shown it reduces the risk of a dangerous pregnancy complication known as pre-eclampsia.
Conclusion: A single dose is unlikely to have any effect on the pregnancy one way or the other.
Query: Would you like some cake?

...

No, not really. I go for the better safe than sorry route...

Butler, please don't give Quinn any more. Ask her in future.

What could Daisuke sense about Shania?

Yes, I'd like... No, I wouldn't!

((How do you mean??))

According to the drone it may be more safe to give her even more to reduce chances of complications. Your better safe than sorry route is non-existent!

Butler wasn't going to give her more anyways, and just nods, holding the ice there.

He has the ability to sense souls. He tries to sense whatever about her.

He also hears the two voices, and frowns.

Well, Daisuke senses that there are two souls within Shania. One is malevolent, and the other is kind. Both are strong presences, but one is more meak and submissive.

He positions himself between her and Quinn.

Can I ask why you have two souls inside you?

:smalleek:
"How did she get any inside her sir? Did she swallow them sir? Does she need surgery sir?"
Because soul sounds like bowl and it's clear now that Shania has kitchen utensils inside her.

Daisuke ignores Butler's chatter. He's fully focused on the person in front of him.

And a swan waddles into the infirmary and nuzzles against Butler's legs.

Good cause Daisuke is being mean. Everyone ignores Butler until he starts handing out aspirin. Sheesh.

He reaches down to pick up the swan and cuddle it.

Because clearly aspirin is a far greater threat to Quinn's pregnancy than all the risks she takes as a PC.

The swan is picked up! And snuggled! And snuggles back!

"Whatcha doin, Butler?" :smallsmile:

"Oh, I'm just taking care of some hurt people ma'am. Cause the doctor got hurt too ma'am." He's sort of the fallback doctor of GLoG when Quinn isn't available.

He gently scritches under Decker's beak, getting her long swan neck with pettings.

Get away from me, you ignorant man. You know nothing of what you talk about. Daisuke may feel something trying to push him away.

He... doesn't move.

Really? Souls happen to be my speciality.

Stop trying to push me away, it won't work.

I asked you a question. Why do you have two souls inside you?

"Mean hurt people, from what it sounds like," Decker says, stretching her neck up to get scritches.

Well... maybe Quinn, but he doesn't think Shania is mean, probably cause he doesn't know what ignorant means. And Daisuke isn't hurt, even if he's mean right now.

"Not particularly ma'am. But either way, I should help them ma'am." Long neck scritches.

"You're a good person, Butler. One of the reasons I like you so much." Decker says, and Butler will suddenly find himself with an armful of girl instead of swan.

Shania glares at Daisuke. Leave us, or I will kill the baby.

And how do you propose to do that?

She may suddenly feel a sword stab through her chest.

No. Nothing there. Nothing happened.

Daisuke's releasing his spiritual energy at her... and it's communicating what he intends to do if she even tries to harm the child.

"Eep ma'am!" No matter how often it happens, he won't quite get used to it cause it's so sudden with no warning.

Of course he freezes up when he hears Shania's threat. Ummm... :smalleek:

And those psychics are so hard to defend against. Without caution, Shania could probably kill it without moving.

Aaaaand it's about now that asprin-ated Quinn starts coming around!

Ooooow.

She doesn't respond to the mental probings, not yet anyway.
Now that she's awake, though, her subconsious shields are a bit stronger.

Because, you idiot, I'm in the child's mind right now! So you may wish to not try to threaten me again.

When did I threaten you?

On top of the impression of being stabbed, a normal human would be on the floor gasping for air about now.

I just wanted to know why there were two souls in you.

You threatened me first.

Astrid frowns, she steps between Quinn and the women who just threatened her baby.

((Which is exactly what the threat is. She felt no phantom sword in the stomach. But she did feel the phantom sword attempt to be felt.))

You know what I mean. Now back away! Shania stands and goes over to Quinn. She'll attempt to seize the woman by the neck and lift her up. Only to be blocked by Astrid. Stand aside!

A phantom hand attempts to push Astrid aside.

"Oh... I guess this is a bad time." Decker hops down out of Butler's arms and glares at Daisuke and Shania. GLAAAAAAAARE!

Bakudo 63. Saju Sabaku

Golden chains will probably wrap themselves around Shania.

Daisuke also begins muttering somthing else.

The golden chains wrap around Shania. And the baby is dead. Are you happy now? She smirks at Daisuke.

Butler will maneuver himself over to Quinn, putting some arms under her and whisper to her.
"Maybe we should run ma'am."
He's offering to carry-run her out of the infirmary if she wishes.

Well... he was going to. But he stops when he hears the baby is dead.
...
That didn't work out very well at all. :smallfrown:

Daisuke growls, as he draws his sword.

You...

He appears behind her. And tries to knock her unconsious. By whacking her.

Quinn takes a few minutes gathering her wits - but Shania's words about the baby come through loud and clear, and her hand flies to her stomach.

Her other hand instinctually goes to her side, where she usually keeps a sword...

You...tried to kill...my child, she growls, giving Butler a quick look that he might be able to tell says 'thanks but I'm staying here'. I should kill you right here and now...

Shania might start feeling a headache now!

Astrid would react but it seems that several people react faster then her. But she stands ready to help protect Quinn and her baby.

Decker decides to sit on the countertop and wait the whole thing out. Quinn hadn't even laid her eggs yet. What was the big deal?

Shania is knocked unconscious.

Butler just steps back and gets attacked by deadtime for 1/2 hour to an hour.

Daisuke looks at her unconsious body.

That was... a huge risk. If she had actually had a grip on your baby's mind...

Sorry for taking the risk, Quinn.

There are two souls in there.

:smalltongue:@Decker

Quinn glares at Shania for another minute...then falls back onto the medbed, coughing violently, tears forming in her eyes.

Astrid rushes over to Quinn. Quinn are you OK, what's wrong? She tries to put an arm around Quinn's shoulders.

Daisuke gets two security drones to take Shania to the cells, where a psychic blocker is applied.

If GLoG has that sorta stuff. I think they do.

She's probably still bound to keep her from taking it off, as well.

{{Nudge to Inside, BR}}

((I can't remember us ever having a psychic dampening field. A psychic detector, back when Alek was running around (though I think it was destroyed), but not anything that blocks it. Admittedly, my memory isn't the greatest. DC, do you know?))

Decker deadtimes as well.

Used...too much energy... Quinn coughs again, and leans against Astrid weakly. What happened?

Daisuke looks at Quinn.

While you were out, I came in and noticed she had two souls. One was malevolent...

When I questioned her, she threatened to kill your child.

I took risks in thinking you had mental shields up. Although it seems I was right, I'm sorry for that.

I don't know. I woke up and you had hit the wall and were unconscious. That women was convincing Butler that giving you Asprin was a good idea. She seemed too insistent. Then she threatened your baby, said she killed it.

Come on let's get you laying down. Astrid gently tries to get Quinn in a laying position on one of the beds in the infirmary. She pretty much repeats what Daisuke said, but with a little bit more information.

Quinn, mentally and emotionally exhausted, puts up no resistance to being laid out on the bed. I...always am shielded, not as much when I'm unconsious though... She shudders slightly, realising how close she just came to losing the most important thing in the world, and starts to sniffle...

It was still a massive risk...

Daisuke looks troubled. I'm going to interrogate her or get someone else to do it as to her exact nature.

No. Not torture.

Daisuke doesn't do that.

But serious grilling will be done.

Hey it's OK, your both OK now right. If it weren't for your shields I don't think that would be true. You did a good job protecting yourself and your baby. She gives Quinn a little hug trying to comfort her.
