"We'd take them on together. They couldn't stop both of us," Jamie declares, but Holly's words do make her look slightly less certain. "I couldn't forgive myself if something happened to you because I wasn't there to help," she admits.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
"I never understood that." She says, sighing and running her hand through her hair. "Shame." She says when Quinn tells her about Holly. "I think I'm going to have to get Jamie something to protect herself with." Susan says.

"She could use that," Quinn admits with a sigh. "Toby and I try to keep her from running off, but sometimes she sneaks off anyway - and it's not like either of us didn't do the same thing when we were her age," she chuckles.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
"Heh. Yeah." Susan says. "I was the same. Look, I need to have a shower then crash on a bed for a few hours." She tells Quinn.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
"Shower's over there, and you can stay in the guest room," Quinn says brightly. "And take your time if you want to - I know how it feels to get under a nice, long, hot shower after spending time in the great outdoors."

"It's not your fault. I walked into their trap without thinking. I didn't even tell anyone I was going." Holly responds

"You won't be able to get me out of there with a crowbar, Quinn." She says, walking to the shower. "Thanks."

Quinn laughs, and decides to put aside the paperwork and go to the kitchen to start baking a delicious birthday cake!

"Still. I should have been there," Jamie insists. "Next time, tell me and we'll take them on together, alright? It's what we do."
The young redhead smiles broadly, and reaches to try and take and squeeze Holly's hand.

Reelshka considers the question. She doesn't really want to sic this man at Magtok, for both their sakes.
There are plenty of engineers in the city of Inside. Many of them know how to build flying machines.

And how it ended.
"...Indeed."
The Messengers begin to, seemingly, argue with each other. Finally, one voice speaks up, extremely loudly, so as to drown out many others who try to quiet it.
Tell them we're sorry.
And another one manages to cut above the clamor:
Had to be done.

"Yes, of course I'm sure! What are you, stupid? Everybody knows that minotaur are savange beasts whose only desire is to kill, rape and eat, and not always in that order!" But she's wrong, because it's all based on racist elvish prejudice to justify the enslavement and extermination of minotaur.
Main Cabin
Natalie, an eleven-year-old girl with long black hair and green eyes is here. At the moment, she's wearing a knee-length blue skirt, thick black tights, a green jumper and her red rucksack. Under one arm she carries a painting and a new book, and she's looking for one or possibly more than one of her friends.

"I will," Shrike promises, her own voice strong to be sure that it is heard. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one, but that does not make it easier to be the one."

Just not Quinn, cause she won't have any of it!

I bet the classic "tigers eat babies" argument would work on her! :smalltongue:
"Aye! Let's go find one of em."
Ermine looks around the camp suspiciously, as if council members liked to hide behind buildings.

Might. :smalltongue:
Reinholdt nods and starts looking around for a council member!

Holly's hand is squeezed. "Of course we will." she responds "I just need to remember to think before wildly chasing any lead like that."

"Next time, come and get me first, alright? That way we can look out for each other!" Jamie declares. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, I am. I don't think I've eaten in days." Holly replies, apparently just now noticing it.

"Well, you rest here and I'll get you a sandwich, alright?"
Jamie hops up, and will hurry to the kitchenette unless stopped.
Returning a few minutes later bearing a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich.

"Thank you Jamie" Holly will say before taking a bite of the sandwich. "How have things been here?"

While her player would be more inclined to jokingly question how many of those she's had this year already, Holly cheers up a bit more at the mention of this fact. "Really? When is it?" she'll ask, "I always seem to lose track of time."

"I was hoping you'd be here..."

"That soon?" Holly asks, surprised. "I must have been even luckier than I thought to get here when I did."

"Yup! And you are!"
Jamie grins happily.
"We'll get you all fixed up and there will be cake and games and it'll be so much fun!"
...she then pauses.
"Hey, when's your birthday?"

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

"February 23rd." Holly responds. "I'm mostly feeling better, just tired and thirsty. I should definitely be better two days from now."

"We'll have to have a party then, too!" Jamie declares.
She'll then go to give Holly a tight hug before tucking her friend in for some rest.

Thank you.
And with that, the Messengers go quiet. Sophie blinks and shakes her head.

Shrike leans back, looking a bit strained.
"That was...slightly cryptic...but...most intriguing."

Sophie looks a bit woozy and light-headed. I take it you talked to... them, then. I seem to have spaced out for a while there.
