    Sam, I don't think anyone's messed with your gun. I don't think anyone in GLoG is stupid enough to try.

    Daisuke does indeed notice. He smiles.

    By the way, would any of you guys know anyone who would be willing and able to keep a rampaging monster from destroying a large area for a one-hour period of time?

    Yes, he has a reason.

    I'll try. It may just be my memories of their memories though- I can't really call them at will.
    Thinks Crimson, before focusing. Quinn gets the feeling of taking a breath, closing one's eyes, and sinking down into deep water, submerging and going deeper and deeper...
    Quinn will see a few of Crimson's memories- running after a strange, tall man whose forehead seems to glow like the sun- smiling at a black haired and eyed girl with a cold stare and a bleeding mark on her forehead- screaming in pain at some terrible, horrible event as someone reassured her that it would all be over soon-
    And then they slip deeper, further down. Quinn sees more memories, but these aren't Crimson's- they can't be. She was a powerful sorceress, fighting for her life against men who wielded the elements in harmony against her- a laughing monarch who sneered down at a man begging for food- a wise and powerful steward ruling over the lands the gods had set down as her right to rule over...
    They go deeper, and then focus on something, and it suddenly seems to flare into life, not just a vague memory, but a living reality.

    She stands victorious over her enemies, having slain them with powerful magic that warped reality itself at her whim. Tall and proud, she looked down at the representatives of entities that she had defeated, along with her brethren.
    She looked on as the negotiations took place, and a great hero argued that the lives of these remaining primordials should be spared- imprisoned rather than slain. It was obvious she did not agree with the idea, but her voice was in the minority, and she- as one of the wise wielders of sorcery- was called on to bind the Primordials so that they would never be a threat again.
    Quinn witnessed her begin to explain the nature of the Primordials- multi souled entities that were almost more of a community than an actual entity. How the most efficient way to subdue them would be to manipulate and selectively remove some of the entities that made up their souls. And so it was that she oversaw the operation with her sisters, as the elemental warriors at her command- the Dragon-blooded, Terrestrial Exalted, Quinn sensed- slew or injured the demons before them at her direction.

    The memory slowly slips away...

    (For your information, I don't mean stereotypical red skinned trident horns and cloven hoofed demons. More like weird spirits and mini-deity things.)

    Old habits. Sam looks over at Dani and then back at her gun, blushing even more. Uh, try the detention cells here, they work.

    Not for this purpose. For comparison, the monster I'm talking about will be more powerful than I am.

    And I can't do it.

    The reason I'm asking is that I need to control an entity that has appeared inside me, and doing that means that my body will be completly under his control for about an hour.


    Then Daisuke has to deadtime.

    ((Wow.))

    Quinn takes all the memories in, then, almost in a state of shock, pulls back and out of Crimson's mind - or at least tries to - and slumps back on her heels, putting her hands to her head...

    -----

    The cells should still work, a drone can lock you in I think... Dani's mood seems to sag a little, just for a moment, then returns to her normal cheerful self as she finishes her gargantuan sandwich. You want some, Sammie?

    I...I think so. Just kinda...overloaded, I guess. Quinn tries to give her a reassuring, if shaky, smile.

    I think that'd be a good idea. Quinn nods and goes to stand shakily, reaching to take Crimson's hand.

    Dani finishes chewing a mouthful of her sub, having to grab a napkin to wipe escaping mayo off her face...
    Well, she finally says after thinking for a minute, I guess that depends. I know...
    She pauses long enough to slip off the counter and step over to take Sam's hand in hers and squeeze it.

    Crimson gently takes Quinn's hand and leads her towards the Infirmary, just in case Quinn needs something a little more. Plus, she was going there anyways- might as well lead her that way.

    Quinn, interestingly, had much the same thought, as at the very least she needs asprin for her headache...

    Upon arriving in the infirmary, she goes to fetch it, and is informed by the meddrones about the two new paitents. Gulping the asprin, she goes to inspect them, Laying On Hands on the more seriously injured of the two.

    --------

    Dani watches Sam hopefully, then smiles from ear to ear as she reaches up to hug her tightly.
    Thank you. You...that...that means so much to me. I love you, Sammie.

    The burning continues in a never ending cycle of endless pain and torment.
