Since Bill is good, doesn't want to join Halo because he doesn't want to kill anyone(though HALO is...different I hear), and WATCH just wasn't his style.Busy with Life

Oh. Well, I found your nurse here by our infirmary. And we have a MedLab that way. she points toward the MedLab. If you go to the MedLab, you'll be looking for Tobias. Beware of the mini-dinos there. The pink one bites, and the green one with a shell spits.
If you go back to the infirmary, you'll want to talk to Quinn. I suggest the MedLab, actually. Tobias is more stable. Vidalia nods her head.

Butler returns in swimshorts that look... well a lot like his regular shorts really. Go figure.
He'll go ahead and climb in the water, moving forward til it comes up to almost his nose. By and large cause he saw that fish and is following it... @.@

"The ace up my sleeve? Why, it's a jar of bottled joy and a picnic dinner, of course!"
Valaira smiles! Boy, it's an inviting smile! She's celebrating Zero's return already! She feels like dancing! Or singing! Or doing something fun with him!
"There's the silver necklace too, but I'll present that to you next week sometime or maybe tonight in a hour or two. Pivots on how things work out and all."
Ooo! A necklace! Gifts of jewelry equal steady relationships! Boyfriend-girlfriend soon to be engaged relationships!
Valaira is going to live out her life with Zero without any regrets from this point on!

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83
Bottled joy? Either way, it sounds great.
Zero says, equally happy. There isn't much for him to worry about anymore, he's back with Valaria, there doesn't seem to be anyone after him and hopefully they will manage to stay happy.
The redecoration Valaria has done concerns him though. He refuses to believe that Valaria would ever harm someone innocent as a result of what she had said to Quinn when she first arrived. He decides that he will ask Quinn or maybe Sophie about it later.Avatar by Crimmy

Valaira would object! Nobody is innocent! Except maybe babies. And even then, only some babies are innocent. Every now and again you get an evil baby genius thing that tries to take over the world. Those babies aren't sinless! They're lightweight, teensy, teething terrors!
Oh, and Val certainly didn't bury the bones in ziplock baggies in the walls of the cabin or anything, so don't go poking around in there! Search the forest or the sky or the lake! Zero would find zippo in the walls!
>.< Yessir. There are no bodies in the walls!
...
Moving on, there is a suit of powered armor in the bathroom. The door is shut and locked at this time, but it is there all the same.
"Bottled joy! You take a sip of it and it makes you joyous! I don't know how they manufacture it, but it works wonders!"
It might also be an anti-depressant! Erm...
It is an anti-depressant. And it is impossible to get your hands on without underworld connections.

"I doubt she's ever left the city before," Missy says. For now, Jefferies is exploring what she can see in the shallow part of the water, not going more than waist deep. She wants to go deeper and learn to swim, but she also wants to see the neat stuff on the bottom, and going deeper makes that harder!

"A fellow soldier named Jyarl. He pulled her out of the burning tenement building and decided to keep her instead of sending her to an orphanage." She laughs as Jefferies spots another fish and makes a missed grab at it. "They've been good for each other." There is enough of fondness in her voice to betray how good a 'friend' Missy is to him.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Toby looks at Hadrian's towers and Jamie's siege engines and makes a mental note to teach his son about Vauban. Then he leaves to rejoin continuity or to be available if anyone else needs him.

Actually catch the fish? Butler's a catperson, not a beargon. It's like being at an aquarium is all.
After a little while Butler returns to Jefferies to see if she's having any better luck.

Missy bites her lip. "We're dealing with social workers now... they're deciding right now whether to finalize the adoption. We're kind of on tenterhooks waiting for the answer."

"Well yes ma'am. Water makes grass grow, right ma'am? So it's a lot easier for grass to just grow underwater ma'am. So there's a lot of grass there cause it's easier for them ma'am." It's a wonder why grass even bothers with growing outside of water!

"One of them thinks she'd be better off in an orc family. There were also some concerns about Jyarl's past. He came from a universe that makes the Nexus look peaceful, and he brought some... unpleasant behaviour with him. He's changed a lot though." Missy says. " Besides, Jefferies adores him. If she were taken away from him, I think it would shatter her."

Hrm. It is unfortunate when racists end up as social workers, isn't it? I'd love to help, but I'm not sure if there's anything I can do," Sophie says.

"I is going to school to get smarter. I dun unnerstand reading, but I yike to do numbers. I yike to do fighting better than school stuff though." Jefferies says. She's starting to walk deeper into the water, letting it get to chest height. No more watching the lake bottom!
"It's a three person panel, and one of them, a goblin, seems to be on our side. The third person could swing either way." Missy says. She's watching Jefferies carefully, of course, ready to use her cybernetic speed to get to her quickly if anything goes amiss. At Sophie's offer to help, Missy gives a sad smile. "I think it's mostly out of our hands now. Jefferies and I might come back here, the day the decision is due. It seems a good place to wait it out. Since there's so much for her to see and do, she won't be as aware how nervous I am." It also makes a good place to have a getaway car, packed with everything the three of them would need to start over somewhere else, away from the city of Inside.My avatar!

"Reading's hard for me too ma'am." Butler says, watching her carefully. She is here to learn how to swim after all.
"Why would you like fighting though, ma'am? Fighting hurts people ma'am."

"Jefferies..." Missy says with a bit of a warning tone in her voice.

"It means people wif green skin like me. Assept mean people who says it, dey tink we is monsters. But we isn't! Orcs is people too!" Jefferies takes a defiant step and is suddenly in water over her head!
Flail! The floaties are keeping her head above water, but she's definitely unsure what to do next, and she's a little bit scared. No, no, Jefferies isn't scared. It's Master Chief, her beargon plushie sitting on the towel onshore, that's really scared. *nodnod* So since she's clearly not really scared, then she isn't going to cry out or ask for help or anything - especially right after she just asserted her personhood!
In her flailing and kicking, her hands push against the water enough to propel her a bit towards Butler. "I's swimming!"My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

"Good luck to all of you, then. And you're welcome to stay here, of course." She's curious as to whether when Missy says "we" she means that she'll be the other adoptive parernt, but decides it'd be indiscreet to ask.

Re: [Nexus] GLoG 83

Missy wants to adopt Jefferies more than anything, but she's scared to ask. She's had one child taken from her. To lose another would be more than she could bear.
"Good for you, Slugger!" Missy cheers. There's time enough to teach her actual swimming. Let her get used to the water first. My lifeguard friend would tell me that this is not the correct way to teach children how to swim, but Missy isn't a lifeguard.
"Does dis mean I can use the Big Slide now?" Jefferies asks.
"Keep practising a little while first," Missy says. Then to Sophie again. "Thank you. I feel like I'm the one asking all the favours. Is there anything I can do to help you? Or GLoG? Do you get enough support from Remnant?" It's been a while since Remnant has had to dump a load of refugees on GLoG, but Missy's aware that it could happen again at any time.My avatar!

"Good job ma'am."
Butler gives her some sincere applause.
"I can show you the best way to float if you want ma'am." Butler offers. Presuming an affirmation, he'll move just a bit further in so he has to move his hands and feet in a steady motion as an example to keep afloat.

Is hedogcatpaddling or floating horizontally? Either way, Jefferies will do her best to mimic him. "Dis is fun. I wished der was a lake at Remnant." Kind of hard to do with a flying base. "How does you go fast? I wanna learn to swim fast!"
"Jyarl said the first morning after he brought her home, he woke up to find her eating the dog's food - not just eating it, but feasting on it, as if she'd lucked out. And she kept expecting him to hit her. Not in a fearful way, just that she thought it was how things would be. It's really a blessing that she doesn't remember any specific details of her life before." Missy says.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Catpaddling, hence having to move arms and legs.
"Well swimming fast can be done in a few ways ma'am, but you gotta learn how to just plain swim first ma'am." Butler says. "But I hear wearing a red swimsuit helps you swim faster ma'am."
Butler will wait to see if she has the basics of staying afloat down first before moving on to the next part.
