"Yes, actually. Not a fan. Me and a guy I know actually broke into their temple. We heard there was a woman from HALO being held there and we were going to rescue her." The drow frowns. "We never did find her."

And let's see if Din can make the connection.

[The Bushranger]

Cabin 8

...perhaps she should join the Angelicans?

Indeed, they do. And Shrike quite enjoys it.

Shrike takes a few minutes to catch her breath, but before she can say anything, they're walked in on by Zamira!

She looks over at her Lunar Mate, raising an eyebrow...then grinning back.
"I was hoping you'd show up, Lunar mine," she quips. The ruffles Fettina's hair.
"Tina? Meet Zamira. Z, this is Fettina. I think you'll like her..."

Main Cabin

"I think she'll be fine," Quinn says to Dr. Rein.
She has a Daylight spell ready to cast, after all.

And when Rose-not-vampire walks in, she growls in reply.
"Cal. I think. Or at least she mentioned him..."

Outside

Jamie giggles. "I hope so. I made it for him. Maybe he can put it up in his ca-um, back at home in his home world!"

"Yes, actually. Not a fan. Me and a guy I know actually broke into their temple. We heard there was a woman from HALO being held there and we were going to rescue her." The drow frowns. "We never did find her."

And let's see if Din can make the connection.

Din does , and blushes a little "...that woman...that was me..."

[Morty]

[Kitchen]

Reelshka is there, chopping some strange-looking roots, mushrooms and plants with a doubtful expression. She's wondering when Tony will arrive to analyze Reinholdt.

[Main Cabin]

Sophie also comes in. Either she heard the commotion or her hunter senses alerted her of a vampire's presence. Her eyes narrow when she looks at Rose. Hello again.

[Gullara]

[Lakeside]

Kirk blinks in surprise. "Oh." He smiles at her. "Well, glad to see you got out."

[Main Cabin]

It's about now that Rose regains full control over her body. She darts to her feet, looking warily at the assembled group. She glares at Sophie.

"Well, I think I'll just be telling you what you want to know and be leaving, if you don't mind." She says to Quinn.

[iElf]

[Lakeside]

Kirk blinks in surprise. "Oh." He smiles at her. "Well, glad to see you got out."

Din shivers "...they gave me the decision of being sacrificed, or being a slave...after almost taking the first option...I was too scared. one of their people kept me as a slave for a week before I could make my escape. it was this racist elf woman, who detests half-breeds..."

[Gullara]

[Lakeside]

The drow tries to put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, you're not being held by them anymore. There's no use dwelling on it. Best to keep your thoughts in the present. I'm just sorry I wasn't able to get you out sooner." And that he never actually cared at the time.

[The Bushranger]

Main Cabin

"I take it you two have met," Quinn, still looking somewhat singed, drawls to Rose. "And yes, I want to know everything. Please."

[iElf]

[Lakeside]

The drow tries to put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, you're not being held by them anymore. There's no use dwelling on it. Best to keep your thoughts in the present. I'm just sorry I wasn't able to get you out sooner." And that he never actually cared at the time.

Din sighs "...why did you want to save me in the first place?"

[Morty]

[Main Cabin]

I chased her off during AMEN's attack, Sophie explains.

[Gullara]

[Main Cabin]

Rose shoots another glared at Sophie.

"I can't say I know that much, or that it's really this Cal. Basically this red mist promised me power and gave me abilities I wouldn't normally have. I'm not sure you saw it, but it came out of me when you took me down. It's been making me more violent and has been near impossible to control. I only found out the possible connection to Cal afterward. Apparently he's played the body snatcher game before, and when he was killed turned into these red spores. I can't say for sure it has anything to do with him, but that's what I know."She explains.

[Lakeside]

"Well, part of it was my... friend really hating the cult and wanting to get back at them. But also because... Ah, hells. I'm not going to lie. Because I thought I'd get a reward out of it." The drow takes his hand off her shoulder and looks at the ground.

Din shrugs "...well...it's not that I don't understand...but what were you hoping? that I'd be loaded? everything of worth that i own is my wedding ring,and my wedding dress..."

[The Bushranger]

Main Cabin

Quinn listens to Rose's tale...and her fists clench.
Tightly enough to bleed...

When she finishes, the paladin is clearly on the verge of blowing a fuse.

"Thank you. You may go."

And she turns, to storm out of the cabin.

[Rae Artemi]

She blinks, and scowls. "I'll think of something! Preferably not Echo."

Scowling isn't a good thing! "Relax, Emily, I was just teasing you. And what's Echo?" Rae says, trying to change the subject, still smiling, but not quite as much.

[Gullara]

[Lakeside]

"I wasn't really thinking about what exactly the reward would be." Kirk frowns. He's not escaping the lies after all. Oh well, this one he can forgive himself for. He shakes his head and scowls. "Sorry. I'm kind of a bastard. That kind of crap is what I do."

[Main Cabin]

"Glad to help." Not that Rose is concerned about it now that the mist is gone. She scoops up her umbrella and head out the door. Unless stopped of course.

[iElf]

[Lakeside]

"I wasn't really thinking about what exactly the reward would be." Kirk frowns. He's not escaping the lies after all. Oh well, this one he can forgive himself for. He shakes his head and scowls. "Sorry. I'm kind of a bastard. That kind of crap is what I do."

Din sighs "well...that's what you're here for..."

[Gullara]

[Lakeside]

"Too true." Kirk sighs and gets to his feet. "Well, I've bothered you for long enough. See ya around." And unless she stops him, Kirk will wander off to rejoin continuity.

[iElf]

Din will not stop kirk, but get up. maybe she can run into rose

[Morty]

[Main Cabin]

Sophie watches Rose walk away, wondering who this Caliuflower person is.

[Lix Lorn]

Scowling isn't a good thing! "Relax, Emily, I was just teasing you. And what's Echo?" Rae says, trying to change the subject, still smiling, but not quite as much.

"Echo is one of my clones. She's not very nice." she says, quite shortly.

[Gullara]

[Leaving]

Well, Din could run into Rose. The vampire in question is swiftly leaving the camp. She wants to get back to AMEN as soon as possible.

[iElf]

[Leaving]

Well, Din could run into Rose. The vampire in question is swiftly leaving the camp. She wants to get back to AMEN as soon as possible.

Din , suddenly noticing who rose it, runs after her "hey! you! "

[Gullara]

[Leaving]

Rose stops and turns to face Din. It's worth noting the following.

The woman in question is looking... worse for wear. Her clothes are little more than tattered, burned, and bloodied scraps. Calling them clothes is a stretch really. Just a bit of tattered fabric hanging off her body. Her hair, much like her clothes, has been mostly burned away. Covering her deathly pale skin is a strange pattern of red burns. Her red eyes are wide and wild. Fangs peek out from her full lips. It's Rose.

Her face splits into a wide grin. "Why hello again. So you're still alive."

[The Bushranger]

Outside

...Quinn, meanwhile, walks outside.

Counts to 10.

...then backwards to zero.

Then tosses her head back, looks up at the sky, and screams in frustration.

"AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

[Murkus]

[Main Cabin]

Dr. Rein doesn't understand why they don't just kill the vamp anyway. In any case, he's not risking an attack on the thing single handed. Decently skilled in combat, yes. Abraham V. Helsing he is not.

[Cabin 8]

"Uh." Fettina says, having just caught her breath herself. Then Zamira seems to be in a perfectly good mood, and the girl with neon skin offers a grin.

She gets her weird hair ruffled, and Tina giggles. "You can call me Tina, too, if you like. Shrike was just telling me about you." The neon girl props herself up a bit, looking the Lunar up and down. "She didn't say quite how pretty you were, though." Tina starts to get up, perhaps looking at Shrike meaningfully. They could go over to Zamira together.

[Outside]

"Back home?" Sarah asks, curious what Jamie was about to say. "Where's that?"

[iElf]

[Leaving]

Rose stops and turns to face Din. It's worth noting the following.



Her face splits into a wide grin. "Why hello again. So you're still alive."

Din frowns "no thanks to you. what happened to you then?"

[The Bushranger]

Main Cabin

Offer of truce, of course. That's why.


Cabin 8

Shrike leans over to whisper to Fettina.
"She loves being scratched behind the ears," she says, wriggling her eyebrows.
'Cause, y'know, fox ears.
Returning the meaningful look, she goes to get up as well. And stretches.

<casts Summon Horngeek>


Outside

Jamie is relieved Sarah picked up on that and not her sudden change of words.
"Well, dad comes from a place called Vulpania. We only get to go there occasionally but it's really, really nice!"
And her cheeks turn a little pink as she thinks about Kevin.

[Gullara]

[Leaving]

"Oh you know. An angel took issue to me, so I had to set him straight. Good times all around." Rose says, her grin widening.

[Morty]

[Kitchen]

Reelshka grabs her ears, wincing, when she hears Quinn scream.
What was that about?!

[Main Cabin ==> Leaving

Sophie stands a little away from Rose and Din, watching the conversation.

[The Bushranger]

Outside

Quinn would answer. If she heard.

Instead, though, she sits on the grass, wraps her arms around her legs, and sighs.

Was it all for nothing?
