    Eira, for her part, follows the tour closely, learning the lay of the area, and desperately trying to avoid mentioning the recent...incident.

He's dabbled in that kind of stuff himself; it doesn't make him any less of a talented combatant, after all.
    I am skilled in both close quarters combat and the use of small arms and rifles. I also am a novice pilot. Xellia replies. I'm best with small arms with minimal recoil out of the four though, due to the medical aspect of my job, which requires me to be able to dive into the fray to get to the wounded, and it most often brings me to the front lines. And I can't exactly move my patient out of the way of harm if i'm firing an assault rifle and want to hit my target, can I?
    Xellia chuckles.

    Did we visit Magtok? Because I think he's having a problem right now, one that would be hilarious for a goddess and an ex-goddess to comment on.

    MagOffice - War Nurse

    "That's true. Well then, I think I've heard enough. You're in, Ms. Arabana. There's a spare room in the dorms, just pick one out that doesn't look occupied. Knock first though, just to be on the safe side."

    She's either genuine, or a sneaky evil drow spy who knows what she's doing and isn't a completely incompetent buffoon. Either way, he'll probably be able to find a use for the dark elf.

As the portal opens wide, Magtok might suddenly feel extremely uncomfortable. (That is, if Magtok's even in the room.) That second, two scantily clad slave females will plop into the room from the portal, not knowing where the hell they are! The bewildered slaves don't have more than a second to gaze about before another pair falls out of the portal. Why, every second more and more slaves pile into the small room, unable to do anything but crash into eachother or let out yelps as others drop atop of them! In less than a minute, eighty-three scantily clad slaves will be dropped into Magtok's office, absolutely filling the cramped space. So, unfortunately Magtok might end up absolutely covered in half-naked women between the ages of 13 and 25, all groaning about and yelling confusedly. To top it all off, Shoyler walks through the portal, closing it behind him as he falls onto the pile of people, his back almost pressed against the ceiling. Now, the entire... mob of slaves is groaning and pushing and trying to wiggle away.

    How awkward.


    It's actually a rather spacious office. Or was, anyways. Magtok's rather paralyzed with fear right now, hiding behind his desk in utter astonishment as the former slaves as they just keep pouring into the room. Who knew there were even this many slaves in the Nexus?! Why do they keep appearing, what do they want, what in the hell is going on?!

    Eira nods and waits for Carrie to introduce her to the boss of HALO, also completely unaware of the mountain of scantily clad women on the other side of the door. And also Magtok is somewhere in there, I suppose.

    Then she is the goddess of one of an aspect of death, or a part of it, if you will. And if so, that makes her no less fitting for a ronin like me to serve.

    The flood subsides! Thank goodness someone opened the door, Magtok might've drowned in there or something!

    He's still caught under his desk for now, the spinny chair the only thing separating him from some Slave Leia's flailing arms, blindly reaching out, seeking some guilty neck to strangle for this embarrassing mishap.

    The Flood:

    A very confused Shoyler stumbles out of Magtok's office, looking thoroughly bewildered. He had no idea what to do or say. So, he picks himself up from the floor and looks about, trying not to step on any poor individual. I... suppose I succeeded?

    The Flood

    A metal arm reaches out from under Magtok's desk, as Maggy tries to find a way out that won't involve being pressed uncomfortably close to someone else. "Shoyler, you're very lucky that I don't have the power to fire you from HALO. You're also very lucky that I'm stuck here, and can't punch all of your teeth out. Fix this, immediately."

And why did they flood out of your leader's office, Carrie? Is there something I should know? Is there something you didn't tell me about this place? Is it a weird place?"

    Shoyler stands up and makes sure he isn't accidentally groping some poor individual. He's obviously quite uncomfortable, though he's not as covered. Magtok seems to have taken the brunt of the flood. You gave me a transporter, but didn't tell me where to put them! I only ever went to this room, really, so I guess it decided to port them here! They're free now though, so that's good. I don't... Uhh. Magtok, was there actually a plan after this? Or? What?

    Dani, as it happens, hears Carrie hollering and starts in her direction...

    Meanwhile: Occupying the arriving transport is a certain white-haired young-looking lady. Although she's wearing contacts today. Blue ones.

    With them, one might well assume it's Erin.

    With her is a similarly white-haired, maroon-eyed young lady. Which is totally coincidential.
    This one, it seems, could be mistaken for Carrie based on her face, if one did not pay attention to the expressions she makes with it, or the way she carries herself.

    Kyne and Civvy with Chantelle can find each other now.


    There are many rooms in HALO nobody has been in for years. They serve as tombs for the characters of players who have moved on. The characters themselves are remembered by those who remain, usually, but they might as well be dead. Permadeadtime is an awful thing, one which undeadtimed PCs instinctively avoid. So only the DRDs travel down certain halls in the base, cleaning the dust where no feet fall, but unable to remove the goop that consumes characters once so full of life. There are many rooms in HALO sealed in solid deadtime for years. But only one has cracks.

    iactatam hac demum voluit consistere terra.
