"Helldiver. It's this big, mechanical suit of armor. I bought it for the big-league stuff," Adir says, shrugging. "It's really cool."

and from my thoughts could not erase
that sense of time that sense of space
and my heart the darkness did embrace.

Hm. Adir ponders about not telling her. With those draegloth features, he's not even sure she's a friend anymore. But it's too late now. Besides, she's head of AMEN. She could have power armor built, if she wanted.
After some hesitation, the stag says, "Erin's Emporium. Good price, too. Well, reasonable." He glances toward the barracks. "So which one of these is Darcy in?"

"Well, lemme page her for you," Adir says, because Kid Kris totally established pagers as Watchman standard. The stag figures that if Ilpholin had hers, she would've done it already. Aaaand he's got an ulterior motive.
Darcy should receive a message asking her to meet Ilpholin in the lobby. KR and Wenomir will get a very different page.

Ilpholin's here. Still demon. Should I make sure she sticks around?

"Oh, uh, KR was handing them out a while ago. Woulda gotten you one, but you haven't been around," Adir says, looking up from his pager. He's rather sly about this - not an inkling of deception in his voice. That foolish smile of his follows. "I guess I just wanted an excuse to use it. Go 'head and knock, if you want."

A bit less for Darcy. All she did was go and meet Koro.
Darcy takes Ilpholin's hand and kisses her on the cheek. "Are you ready then?" She gives a glance at Adir. She told Wenomir and DC about her and Ilpholin, and that Ilpholin is planning to take the demon cure, but she doesn't know how far the news spread. Does Adir know?
Adir... does not. That would make Wenomir's pager reply much more confusing. However, I imagine they all assumed Ilpholin had taken it by now, or was supposed to take it on her prior 'date' with Darcy. "What're you guys up to?" He asks, remaining amiable for the time being.

Darcy's not going to get away with such minor displays! She's going to get a full on hug.
Before Ilpholin falls back to hand holding.
"Yeah..."
She looks ready to answer Adir when she closes her eyes and rubs her head with her free hand. Like one would do when they have a headache. Guess Darcy can field that one.

"Oh. Well alright," Adir says, smiling and blinking a little. Together together? Well that didn't sound like Ilpholin. Good for her, he supposes.
So Darcy does know. Hm. Maybe they didn't get the cure yet? "Darcy, can I talk to you for a second?"

Ilpholin reverts to normal and will shrug and nod and say "Go ahead." To Darcy while untangling her hand. Unless Darcy seems not to want to for reasons currently unknown.
Her player's going to be gone most of the day too, so just presume Ilpholin stands there patiently waiting for Darcy and Adir to finish up and return.

Once they're alone, Adir faces her and frowns a bit. "Look, I gotta ask: how're we doing with Ilpholin's demon problem?"

Adir laughs a little, his mood lightening. This is good news. "Great. Excellent, even. When's she gonna do it?"

"How long's that gonna take?" Adir says, frowning and glancing back toward the lobby entrance for a minute. "Cause to be honest, I'd prefer if she had the change done here. Where we can see her."

"Too bad?" Adir blurts. He furrows his brow, a little annoyed at the rude dismissal. "Look, Darcy, I'd just rather have more than one Watchman around while Ilpholin gets well."

"Adir, you know how paranoid Ilpholin is. Please, just back off and let me handle it, or she might change her mind and then I'll lose her forever," Darcy pleads.
Adir glares at the shapeshifter for a second, weighing the other options, but eventually just shakes his head. "Arright, arright. Fine." The stag glances toward the lobby again. "Just make sure she comes back. We need whatever information she's got on those demons."

"Mhm..." Darcy says non-committally. She's given them information, the gnolls have given them information, they've been in and out of a demon city getting information. Information isn't the problem in her mind. "I have my phone if you need anything. Tell DC and Wenomir."
Adir still doesn't like her tone, but there's not a whole lot he can do about it. Besides, he's mouthed off a lot worse than 'too bad' before, when it comes to other Watchmen. The stag won't stop her.
After they're gone, he gets out his pager and messages the three heads of Watchtower, explaining the situation.
Quote:
Ilpholin's agreed to be cured. Darcy's taking her to do it now.

We shouldn't interfere, then. Let Darcy handle it.
[Airship Gantry]
Well, this place hasn't been used in a while, has it? Right now, there appears to be a young boy wandering in there and staring in awe at the airships.
