[Nexus] GLoG 64: Campsites, not Chessboards!

[Somewhere probably Outside]

...
"What's wrong Ember?"
He doesn't let go of the hug.

The cabins have four separate ROOMS.

Ember sniffles.
"Alex killed Maya and Ariel.And he did something to the temple...oh man, cat boy, it was horrible!"
She shudders again and starts to cry softly.

[celtois]

"Oh, I'll be fine." Ana rubs her eyes still trying to clear out images of the brutal way Alex died. "It's not like I had to just kill someone." She sighs. Obviously being sarcastic with the last comment. "This world is so weird."


(I agree awkward would make for good RP but there are supposedly four rooms per cabin so it's not going to happen.)

Ana will Fallow Rasslin off to the guest cabins. Still mentally and emotionally exhausted from the whole day.

[FireFox]

This isn't a plot, just an excuse for me to play the character more! >.<'

"Well, some of us think some wizard attacked him with demons or something, but he's been very sick. The last I heard, the top medical clerics in the City saved his life, but they sent me to ask for help." The young man shrugs, very distraught about Tony's condition.

[Reinholdt]

[By the Lake]
"Oh my... I'm so sorry..."
FHR will rub her back gently and try to rock her a bit to comfort her.

[Infirmary]
Typical this information comes without Grumpy Rein around. You know, the one who needed to talk to Tony.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Rasslin will pat Ana's shoulder a little. To show support.

Once they reach the cabins...

So...I guess we each pick a room?

[TechnoScrabble]

[By The Lake]
Ember cries and holds on to Fez Hat Reinholdt even tighter. He had saved her from the rimfrost after all, and though she refused to admit it, she was a bit afraid of Ana and Rasslin right now.
If you had seen Alex's corpse you would be, too.

[The Bushranger]

Poor Ember...



[Infirmary]


"Oh. Well, take me to him," Quinn says, grabing a medical bag. "I can try to see what I can do."

[celtois]

Support is nice.

Not having to have boiled the blood of a person and watch his skin rot away would have been even nicer. But hey you can't have everything.

"Yeah I suppose we do." Ana agrees before glancing into each of the rooms, judging to see if there is one she would prefer.

They all looked pretty similar to her.

They were charming little rooms exactly what you'd expect from a cabin. Well not that she had any real expectations having never left the city.

They seemed to basically be all the same. Twin bed, wood walls. Nice cozy interior.

She ends up picking the second one on the left.


Yeah. Most people would be. That was the first person Ana ever had to kill. She's currently in a state of shock, and horror.

[FireFox]

"I left the City a few days ago, so I don't know if he'll even be alive..." The paladin holds the door of the infirmary open for Quinn.

But they won't get far, as a group teleports in at the camp entrance. Two other paladins lead a horse-drawn carriage towards the infirmary.

[Reinholdt]

[By The Lake]

Oh hey, they killed Alex. Good for them.
But yeah, that'd probably be pretty scary.

Fez-Hat Reinholdt will hold her as long as seems appropriate before trying to lead her to a place to sit down and hold her some more there. That big sitting rock in particular. So she doesn't get tired standing up.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary > Entrance]

Quinn follows at a quick pace...then skids to a halt as the paladins and carriage appear. Then she hurries up to the carriage!

[KerfuffleMach2]

Rasslin picks the first on the right.

She stares at everything in the room. She had been in bedrooms before, sure. But she never really had one. At least, not since she had been a spirit.

It was a little odd.

[TechnoScrabble]

[By The Lake]
Ember is taken to the sitting rock and just flops down on it, sobbing into her hands.
"He...he just killed them...and took their powers...he...he sucked the life out of them!"

[Reinholdt]

[By The Lake]

Reinholdt listens quietly, letting her let it all out, his arm wrapped around Ember's shoulder in a shoulder hug designed to pull her in gently towards his chest for sobbing purposes.

[FireFox]

The first paladin hurries behind Quinn. The two on the carriage gently stop the horses, and a grey robed cleric with a golden holy symbol steps down from the back and approaches Quinn. "Mrs. Druid?"

[TechnoScrabble]

[By The Lake]
Ember is pulled in.
"And then, what Ana did to him...it was all so scary...and...I don't think I ever got around to thanking you for saving me earlier but no offense, it seems to pointless now."

[The Bushranger]

"That's me." Quinn bows slightly in respectful greeting. "Is Tony....?"

[celtois]

And, Ana is going to just stay in her room.

The LAST thing she wanted to deal with right now was more people. Or non-people things for that matter.

This has been one of the worst days of her life.

She was a little amazed that she almost found herself wanting to go home, away from this horrid world were she had been forced to kill.

She hadn't tried to. She had wanted to just disable him. It had all gone so wrong.

And thats when the tears start to run down her face.

Good thing her door is closed. >.>

[FireFox]

"I am Bishop Melus." He bows back. "Bishop Sciano is very sick. I am not completely sure what happened, but I believe he is through the worst of it. He needs to recover, outside the bustle of the city. Since his family's country manor is... unavailable to him at present, I came to ask if you would be able to look after him here, where the clean air would be greatly beneficial."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Rasslin sits on her bed. Thinking.

She wasn't sure why, but she had started to grow a liking for Ember. Like she was a little sister.

She decides to help Ember. The other spirits can wait. They've been trapped before, so they'll be fine.

Right?

[Murkus]

Spoiler

Show

Yeah, I did Murkus, thanks for the poke.
[Lakeshore]

"Yeah. There's more good in the world than there is bad, and we do our best to do good and balance things out!" Jamie nods, giving Sarah a warm smile. "And people like you, too."

"Thanks." Sarah says, hoping she will be able to help someday. "So, what're you gonna do when you get older? Besides the 'goodguy' thing."

She glances in the direction of Fez Rein and Ember, noticing them for a moment. I mean, unless their very far or something.

[The Bushranger]

"By all means." Quinn nods, smiling a little. "And I'll make sure Toby doesn't mind. The Infirmary is this way, if you could...?"

[Reinholdt]

[By The Lake]
Ember is pulled in.
"And then, what Ana did to him...it was all so scary...and...I don't think I ever got around to thanking you for saving me earlier but no offense, it seems to pointless now."

"You did, so don't worry." One less thing off her mind he hopes.

"I'm sorry that happened to you."

[TechnoScrabble]

"You did, so don't worry." One less thing off her mind he hopes.

"I'm sorry that happened to you."

"Wasn't your fault," Ember shakes her head.

[FireFox]

All three paladins carry Tony out of the carriage and into the infirmary. He is unconscious right now and, while it's hard to tell through his robes, is rather emaciated.

"Try to keep his fever down as much as possible, and prevent him from exerting himself, physically or mentally. I suspect his condition was brought on by his highly stressful job..."

[Reinholdt]

[Rock]

"Doesn't mean I don't wish it didn't happen. Have you eaten recently? Should I get you something?"

[The Bushranger]

"Wouldn't surprise me. He needs some good soup too."
And Quinn leads the way to the Infirmary, where she'll clear off a medbed for the unconsious psycho...er, psychiatrist to be placed.

[TechnoScrabble]

[Rock]
Ember nods, "That'd be really nice...er...I don't think I ever got your name..." Ember blushes. Not even getting the name of man who saved her life? Man was she ashamed.

[Reinholdt]

[Rock]

"That's ok. I wasn't exceptionally forward with it because there's another less pleasant me out there. But I'm Reinholdt." Reinholdt will stand and offer his hand to help Ember up and try to lead her to the kitchen, arm draped over her shoulders.

[TechnoScrabble]

[Rock]
"I'll be sure not to trust you, then," Ember tries to joke on the way to the kitchen, but it comes out weak and pathetic.
