					<div class="bbWrapper">This RP is part of the Isekai Hell setting. Check the links above to learn more about it.<br>
Please let me know if you wish to join this RP, so that I can help your character get an interesting entrance into the story and make sure they've got a goal  being there.<br>
<br>
<b>What to expect out of character:</b><br>
The posting pace will stick to <b>48 hour cycles</b> for as much as possible (unless my highly susceptible to change IRL situation might force me to go slower to 96 hour cycles). The RP is likely to last relatively long (50+ days) and will be a mixture of Adventure with bits of Slice of Life and Action. Depending on PC actions, either pacifist or combat outcomes will be possible in most scenario's. Character interactions (both among players and player-to-NPC), are what's most interesting to me as a narrator.<br>
<br>
Combat, when and/or if happening, will be a relaxed interpretation of Effectiveness measures. Cooldowns will apply strictly, clever writing can help make an otherwise low graded skill more useful, teamwork makes the dream work. Characters not posted with will be deemed to stand by and watch and/or merely take defensive measure to the best of their extend when applicable. When relying on secondary skills such as to investigate something or to recall knowledge without actively using them in an ability, please mention them in your post. When using abilities, please put the ability in its full at the bottom of the post it's used in and keep track of Cooldowns.<br>
<br>
Don't hesitate to ask me questions if you need more details or want to confirm things, regardless of whether that's for plot-reasons or OOC-reasons. (Sadly enough, I'm not flawless, so if I forget or miss stuff or get unclear about it, you're more than welcome to let me know as well.)<br>
<br>
<b>What to expect  in character:</b><br>
Widersia; a small country of humans and (small) Fae nestled between the warring East Empire and The See, with an advanced steampunk society on one hand and and a peaceful shire on the other. Widersia prides itself for being one of the most secure nations on the continent, but sometimes, that security is threatened. This is such a time.<br>
<br>
A construct and baron going by the name Fromm has sent message to the Adventurer's Guild, for an extremely dangerous Vampire has been spotted in some of the outer districts of Clockhaven, the country's capital. It's feared that she'll actively recruit new vampires for her nefarious purposes, so stopping her as soon as possible is of the utmost importance. However, you are not the first ones asked to set out on this missions. Assassins, soldiers and even a group of Vampire Hunters have all been sent on this mission, yet all have failed to deliver.

It was odd, but she felt like she almost had a heart-beat right now. Mostly due to the feeling it was beating so loudly that she couldn't even properly breath. Even though the undead organ was barely doing a thing. Was this a case of mind over matter? Likely so. Either way, she was nervous. Very much so. After all, she'd finally gotten the courage to face things. Her past, the Vampire Hunters that might know about it... they were here, in this country. In this city, even. However, she knew she couldn't face such a thing alone. A vampire going to meet vampire hunters to politely ask them about her past? She grimaced at how foolish it sounded.<br>
<br>
It's why she'd reached out to just about anyone she thought would be willing to help her. Sophia was the first she'd contacted. The Fae Artisan clearly wasn't worried about her being a vampire and if there was anyone she thought might support her through this, it was her. That said, she hadn't been able to contact her for a while now, so she honestly wasn't sure if her message would reach her and if she'd actually show up. It was putting her on edge.<br>
<br>
The same applied to the next person she'd reached out too. The alchemist she'd met in the Overgrown Marshes. For someone who tasted plain as a potato, he'd made quite the impression on her as someone multi-talented, rational and all-out a good guy. She couldn't think of anyone better to deal with the type of task they were hired for, so if he were to show up, it'd be a huge help both for her personal goal and their overall mission. That was a big 'if' though, as she hadn't seen him after their brief adventure in the marshes. Perhaps he'd already forgotten about her, or changed his mind about accepting her as a monster. Perhaps he'd even rat her out to the vampire hunters... Still, it was a risk worth taking, as having him on her side would be worth all such risks.<br>
<br>
Then there were her friends from the coven. Hope, the one who'd helped her from breaking apart after the tragic ending of her sister... that she... No. She shook her head. She didn't want to think about it. Sadly enough, Hope was also the one person she couldn't ask for aid. After all, <i>she'd bitten her</i>. If she'd lost herself to her instincts once, due to someone like hope, what was to say it wouldn't happen again? Hope was someone that she didn't deserve in her life, it was someone too good for her. At least right now. She'd perhaps reach out if she succeeded her, becoming a Dhampir. That'd show Hope that she was indeed capable of being more than a monster.<br>
<br>
The other two, however, Scylla and Iberis, she had asked. Not because she valued them less, but because she trusted herself more around them. Whilst both had enough magic to make their blood of great quality, it wasn't as bad as with the Fae woman. Besides, one of them had already voluntarily given it before, whilst the other had already gone though those blasted marshes with her. She also knew they had her own goals, which loosely aligned with hers, or so she hoped. It'd make her feel less guilty about trying to drag them into this.<br>
<br>
Either way, all of that was good and great, but right now, she'd have to see who'd show up. For all she knew, she could be left standing here alone. It was a thought far most terrifying and the reason for her current distress. At the very least, her currently Alternate Identity was 'shy' enough for her behaviour to fit it.<br>
<br>
She tried to distract herself by looking around. This was where they were meant to meet-up, a hanger used to repair baron Fromm's personal airship. The baron would arrive later in the day, to discuss the details of their mission with them. Or well... in the worst case scenario, with just Kalina. Hopefully that wouldn't happen. Some constructs were going around working, sweeping floors, dragging bolts and nuts around, doing whatever they were doing. There was a constant noise of repairs going on. Every now and again a valve opened, releasing a loud stream of heated steam that you likely didn't want to get hit by.<br>
<br>
This place was really different from anything she was used too. To a degree, it reminded her of the factory she got mangled in in her past life... more nightmares that kept trying to crawl their way up to her conscious thought, which she desperately tried to suppress. For as much as she felt like she was able to start conquering her [monster] nature, she equally felt like a mental wreck. Like a breakdown was looming just below the surface. No, she shouldn't think about such things. Instead, she should keep a look-out. The first of her friends should arrive any moment now, right? Besides, there might even be others that took the baron's quest. She'd need to keep up her alternate identity for them, if that was case.</div>

Sophia glanced down at the message in her claws, no small bit of annoyance on her face. The annoyance, however was not about the contents of the letter, nor about the sender, but more about herself. Her friend had left a while back, stating that she wanted to have some time to herself, and though she didn't want it, she let it happen as she continued working towards the guild. Seeing the letter, though, she wished she had left with her friend.<br>
<br>
Once she read it, she had dropped everything, but even so she had felt like it wasn't enough. Her friend needed her, and apparently had for a while, but she hadn't known, she had been so caught up in her work. She slightly crumpled it in her annoyance before, slowly, she let out a breath. Getting more pissed than she was wouldn't help anything. The anger she felt right now would just have to be channeled into something better, especially after what she saw while working as the guild's blacksmith.<br>
<br>
She remembered it almost as a passing remark about there being a vampire in Clockhaven that the people were afraid of. That she would be recruiting more vampires to her cause. Sophia shrugged it off, and even somewhat shrugged off the fact that quite a few groups had left to track her down but never came back. However, when the message came, everything clicked. She was an idiot. Well and truly moronic. However, she would make sure everything turned out alright. Her eyes scanned the area, remembering that her friend had quite a few disguises up her sleeves. As she wandered, her eyes caught something familiar. She focused, realizing exactly what it was. She moved quickly through the crowd, weaving through them before leaning forward, saying in a low voice to the black haired lady, <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice how stunningly beautiful you were~ Almost like the lady of my dreams that I've missed for oh so long~ I don't suppose you would be that pinnacle of perfection, Miss Chandra~? Or,"</span> she dropped her voice even lower, until it was a whisper only the two of them could hear. <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"My beloved Miss Kalina?"</span>​</div></div>

Of course Iberis wasn't about to leave Kalina hanging after asking her to come along. After all they had been through, it was only natural. Iberis didn't really have anyone outside of the coven at the moment, such a short lived one too. After seeing what happened to Renee, truthfully Iberis had been shaken. She still wanted power, but she now knew it had to become more sustainable lest she end up in a situation like Renee where her mind was clouded. Despite all of the horrible things Renee had said to them, she was still convinced that at one point Renee had been genuine, and it was the prospect of godhood which had corrupted her to the extent they had seen last. For now all of that was on the back of Iberis's mind.<br>
<br>
It looked like she was getting to go somewhere exciting yet again with Kalina, as she made her way through Widersia. This was quite an active spot indeed, just taking in the vastness of it for a moment. She kept a hold of her staff and moved it with her sort like a walking stick, rhythmically tapping the ground as she put her legs forward. It wasn't lost on Iberis that there was bound to be some sort of magic of interest in a place like this, if not perhaps she could learn more about the technology. It was knowledge that drove Iberis too, and now that she found  genuine people to care about rather than just power her perspective had shifted. The sound of steam being released was still unusual to her, and the sights and sounds were more engaging, as she looked around at it all, a bit visibly awed. It would have been pretty easy to tell that she wasn't actually from around there if you just gave her a look based on her attire and reactions.<br>
The constructs were quite of interest to her too, particularly with how she had heard they tended to work, as they were a form of magic inbued with technology, the sort of thing she was hoping to find in a place like this, her eyes lingering on those that were visible. If anything the bags under her eyes had not gotten better, not from staying up because she was studying, but because she had been having a harder time sleeping than usual ever since the incident, plenty of bad dreams.<br>
<br>
Thankfully Iberis's sense of direction did not betray her, she was used to the streets of Ryke, which was very busy in it's own right at the capital, so she headed to the hangar  where she was supposed to meet up with Kalina, seeing Chandra knowing full well who that was at this point. She also gazed upon Sophia who was near Chandra. It looked like she was finally going to properly interact with Sophia maybe.<br>
<br>
Iberis stopped in the hangar, allowing her some space from the pair before giving a bit of a wave. "Hey." She said with a bit of warmness in her tone with a bit of a smile.</div>

He got over it. <br>
<br>
It wasn't easy, but now Cayde was sure. Everything that happened in those marshes was simply a thing of the past. Nothing more. Those outbursts, losing Kesh, and those hopeless nights spent trudging through fetid mud, searching for any sign of her? Nothing to worry about. Those dreadful thoughts of coming home, explaining to Uncle Zane how he couldn't keep his apprentice safe? Out of mind. The <i>old</i> him had those problems. The <i>newer</i> him didn't. He spent enough time recovering. Time took care of those wounds. It <i>had</i> to. <br>
<br>
And besides, they probably were fine. Kesh is smart; she probably found a way back to the mainland. Maybe found some other alchemist to teach her, too. She would've forgotten all about him. And Uncle Zane probably found another pair of apprentices. He must be down in the lab now, teaching them about principles and Quintessence. He wasn't worrying about him or Kesh. Zane probably moved on. <br>
<br>
So he should, too. <br>
<br>
Plus, without them, there was so much free time now. Time to spend studying magic, learning a few new tricks, and improving one's already known. It was <i>delightful</i>. Even the downtime was great. Plenty of time to sit back and think about new recipes, new spells, and what to eat for dinner. And even more exhilarating things like where to go next, what to do next, thinking about what to do next, the future, the past, the present, people, friends, family...<br>
<br>
And wondering if they had all forgotten about him.<br>
<br>
Cayde shook his head. There it was again. Stupid o<i>ld </i>overthinking Cayde. <br>
<br>
He peered down at the note in his hands and then up into the entrance of Wildersia. He smiled. In there was a <i>new </i>Cayde. One that <i>wouldn't </i>push away his friends, one that <i>wouldn't </i>run away from his problem, one that<i> would </i>know what to do, one that <i>would become better. <br>
<br>
Old</i> him had to die, Cayde thought as he slipped the note into his pocket, advancing into Wildersia. <br>
<br>
No one liked <i>him</i>. <br>
<br>
- - - - - - - - - - - - -  -<br>
<br>
After a few twists, turns, and questions to the locals, Cayde finally found himself approaching the hangar. A sigh of relief escaped him. Cities were always the worst to navigate. Even more so with sudden geysers of face-melting steam and uncooperative constructs. Not what came to mind when he thought about recruiting vampires, either. Ryken's underbelly would've been a far better place to find fellow monsters. What was so different about the ones around here? <br>
<br>
The thought hung in his head until he saw Kalina. A smile formed under his mask. Of course, she was disguised, but she hadn't changed a day! <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey, Hey! Kali-" </b></span>He paused. Was he supposed to say that name? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Uh, Kat-" </b></span>Was he supposed to say that one too? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Um, never mind. It's good to see you again! How're you living?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Only then did Cayde notice Sophia and Iberis standing close by. A child and a beast? Or a Fae? Hopefully, the latter. He'd never seen one in person before.  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh! My bad, I didn't notice you brought company," </b></span>He apologized, turning to face the two,  <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hello! I'm Cayde Whitinger - an alchemist by trade," </span></b>He pointed to his back, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"And this is Kes-" </b></span>Another pause, followed by the sound of him clearing his throat, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Oh, uh, forget that. All that walking made me a bit giddy, y'know?" </b></span>He said, a small weak chuckle emerging from his throat, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"So! How do you two know her? Hopefully, something more pleasant than a stinky swamp, eh?" </b></span></div>

<br>
A strange portal seemed to begin to open near Kalina, fiery red as illusory lava dripped onto the ground. When it finally did open a fiery heat could be felt emanating from the seemingly demonic plane. A voice could be heard echoing, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Pfft! I might have opened the portal way up there, could you give me a boost? Whoa.. hey.. careful.. are you doing what I think- W-wait.. wait.. WAIIIIT!!" </span>Scylla was catapulted through to the other side of the portal, landing on her butt then flipping and landing on her head before laying flat face down on the cobbled street. Her hat followed after, miraculously landing perfectly on her head. Three little birds would comically tweet above her head as she got up. <i>Tweet tweet tweet! </i>Then the portal suddenly closed.<br>
<br>
The witch groaned,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "uuuhhh.. that hurt.."</span> Shaking her head she snapped out of it as Kalina came into focus. Well, Kalina in disguise that is, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Why.. aren't <i>you</i> a sight for sore eyes! You know, summoning me from the land of the dead isn't an easy feat. They must really like you down there. Wooooo.. how have you been?"</span> She asked as she fanned her face, she had come from a very hot place. Then the others, notably Iberis to whom she suddenly ran up to and hugged very tightly. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"EEEKK!! I was so depressed- I didn't- I was hoping- I mean.. I'm so happy you're alright kiddo! I.. thought I would never see you again."</span> She squeezed even tighter, in fact she began to squeeze with all her might, which wasn't enough to hurt her in any way. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"NNNNNGH!"</span><br>
<br>
She knew there was much to explain, but Scylla thought it best to keep things to herself unless asked for now. It seemed the conversation could get immensely heavy super quickly, and she wasn't sure what context everyone here was gathered. Letting go of Iberis, Cayde caught her eye, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Heeeey.. I remember you!"</span> She made a picture frame with her hands. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Yes, I do.. you're that guy with the potions! HA! How goes it?</span><br>
She'd then notice Sophia, she was different, but not too different. Hanging around Eldritch in the underworld seemed to have desensitized her to eccentric bodies. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"How do you do?" </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She greeted before taking her hat off,</span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "The names Scylla, pleased to meet you!" </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She gave a wink and a welcoming smile.</span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Well then.." </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She looked to the others,</span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..so happy to see you all again!"</span></div>

A calm scene unfolded within the hangar as friends and associates reunited among the steam fueled streets of Widersia. Polite greetings were made, the only background noise was the going ons about the hangar.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, the compatriots would hear the sound of a portal tear open nearby, and close just as soon as it happened. Unfortunately the moment after-<br>
<br>
<i>Clang, clang, <b>Clang!</b></i><br>
<br>
The echo of metal parts crashing carelessly to the floor filled the hangar, causing plenty of heads to turn in the direction of the disturbance.<br>
<br>
"Ngh...hell..." A voice came from the small bit of junk now lying on the floor. Before too long some of it was brushed aside as a silver-haired woman with brown-furred ears emerged from it rubbing her neck. It was very quickly apparent she left nothing to the imagination, but she set her irritation aside momentarily as her hands emanated a soft glow before spinning the mana into a set of clothes for her to don, quickly relieving the issue beyond the initial shock value.<br>
<br>
Her ears twitched as she sighed before she suddenly lost herself to her surroundings as she looked around very cautiously, not even noticing any people near her.<br>
<br>
<i>Why do my senses feel so dull? My mana, it's...different somehow...and there's so little of it. Is this a result of entering a new dimension?</i><br>
<br>
Shion attempted to produce some kind of magical affect at the tips of her hands, but all that appeared was a dull sphere of swirling magical energy. She dispersed the mana, trying to piece things out to herself. Then she <i> finally</i> took notice of the eyes on her. She didn't really seem bothered though, more intrigued if anything.<br>
<br>
"..." Her eyes blinked a couple times as her ears twitched while she tried to process both her surroundings and the people in front of her. <i>When I was told I would be entering a new world, this was not what I was expecting.</i></div>

She eased up instantly when she spotted a familiar face. In fact, she didn't wait for Sophia to come over to her. Instead, she rushed over to the Fae Artisan to pull her in for a tight hug. Sophia's teasing felt oddly nostalgic. Normally, she'd be at least a little embarrassed by it <s>or she'd start drooling like a Pavlov'ed dog</s>, but right now, it was fine. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm really glad you're here.”</b></span> Her first words were exactly the same as her thoughts. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Renee... she's... dead...”</b></span> She stammered, whispering. That was all she was able to share about those traumatic events from little more than a mere week ago. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I couldn't contact you, so I feared something bad might have happened to you as well.”</b></span> She looked Sophia directly into her eyes. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm really glad I was wrong.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Next to show up was Iberis. After having been to whatever traumatic dimension it was they'd been through together, she was really glad to see the witch had joined her again. In fact, she wouldn't just let her stand there in the distance. She'd break the hug with Sophia to pull Iberis in for the next one. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thanks for being here.”</b></span>  She said, really meaning it. After how Iberis was betrayed by Renee, Kalina had been worried that the girl wouldn't trust anyone like that again. Especially not her, seeing how Kalina had attacked Hope... It's why it was all the more reassuring that Iberis arrived. It meant that Hope's words had been truthful, she still had friends.<br>
<br>
The next person to show up didn't make her feel like her undead heart skipped a beat once, but twice. First, the fact that he actually showed up. She'd almost started to convince herself he wouldn't. After all, that'd be foolish of him, wouldn't it be? Joining teams with a vampire you barely knew to find an even more dangerous vampire sounded like a death wish the more she thought about it. Yet, here he was. He could still be planning to betray her, of course, but somehow, she was convinced he wouldn't. His awkward introduction made her worry for a bit, but after a quick look-around, it didn't seem like anyone that wasn't in-the-know was paying attention to them at the moment.<br>
<br>
She'd put up a big smile, almost laughing when he asked how she was living, knowing full well that he knew that she wasn't exactly doing so. She figured it was just about safe enough to tease him a bit. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“It's a shame you've already forgotten my name, mister Whitinger. I'm Chandra Jarmil, a humble adventurer. And as always, I'm living on the edge~”</b></span> The last was a remark to both her hidden monstrous nature and the challenge of hiding it, as well as to her bordering on living and unliving vampiric nature.<br>
<br>
She did feel a bit of his pain when he tried to introduce Kesh. Honestly, she hadn't liked the rat. However, she'd seen how close he'd been to it, so having to see him unable to cope with loosing it was making her feel bad in turn. She approach him for a handshake, but pulled him in a bit to whisper. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“It's not much, but I'll be there if you want to talk about it.”</b></span> She stated, as it was the least she could do in thanks for him coming all the way her at her selfish request.<br>
<br>
The next arrival was spectacular to say the least. In fact, Kalina jumped back and drew her rapier on instinct. What the hell was going on? She was about to attack whatever came out of there, only to recognise the voice coming from there. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Scylla?!?”</b></span> She called out in surprise. Still a bit baffled, she watched Scylla's attempt to squeeze the life out of Iberis. However, she too could play that game! She'd sneak up on Scylla with her Roguish skills and hug her from behind while she was hugging Iberis! Catching Scylla in a surprise hug, she'd speak up. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm really glad you're here, but you might want to give poor Iberis some breathing room.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Having delivered her third hug in a row, she did question herself for a second. She had really started to like those a lot more, even though she knew being hugged by her cold dead body might not be the nicest for others. It might be due to her filling the void in her heart, one that was left by Renee. Perhaps it'd be healed by finding closeness with others, which she was faintly aware off was just a coping mechanism, but that didn't stop her from continuing to do so. After all, what else could she do? She felt like she'd just crash down and break or fall fully into her monstrous nature if she didn't manage to find others to fill that void.<br>
<br>
With all (but Hope) of her favourite people here, she felt a lot more confident. However, there was one more arrival. She turned to the next portal tearing open. This one might not drop lava-looking stuff out of it, but it was equally eye-catching. The one that came rolling out was a little underdressed for the occasion, which made her wonder all the more what in the world was going on. Then again, looking around here, there were just the group of women that were with Kalina, some constructs that didn't seem to stop from their work regardless of what was going and... ah, right. Cayde was also there. The one man in the company.<br>
<br>
Either way, Kalina herself wasn't one to get embarrassed easily, so she just stared at the new arrival in surprise. She did, however, note that this meant she'd need to be extra careful about keeping up her Alternate Identity from now on. It'd probably be best to let the others know that this person wasn't in-the-know about her nature as soon as possible, come to think of it. It's why she approached the woman and spoke up. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Ehm... Are you... eh... are you alright, ma'am? That was a rather... odd way to appear here. Are you also here for the... vampire hunt?”</b></span> That'd both get her introduced and make it clear to everyone that this was a total stranger. It'd also allow her to get back into the [Shy] character she was playing as.<br>
<br>
On the topic of strangers, she realised not everyone in their group knew one another all that well. Perhaps they might also want another refresher on the Alternate Identity she was using. Introductions were in order! That should allow her to set-up the excuses she could use to explain how she knew each of them in her current persona. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm Chandra Jarmil, a beginning adventure, here for the vampire hunt requested by baron Fromm.”</b></span> She'd gesture towards Sophia next. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That's Sophia Smith, a master Artisan that made most of my gear and helped me out a lot back at the Adventurer's Guild.”</b></span> She then motioned towards Cayde and Scylla. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“These are my friends Cayde, a highly resourceful alchemist and Scylla, a powerful witch, whom I both met during a pretty dangerous mission in some Marshes on the first continent.”</b></span> Then towards Iberis. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That's Iberis, I met her through Scylla. She's also a witch and also an amazing friend of mine.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That should hopefully help everyone keep their stories straight on how they knew 'Chandra' rather than Kalina. After all, her alternate identity was as weak as the weakest link in their group. <s>She glossed over at Cayde.</s> Either way, her mood had quickly gone from a nervous wreck to excited optimism. Not just one or two of the people she'd asked had shown up, but every single one of them had. She truly counted herself blessed with such great people here to help her out. After all, it was a lifetime goal of her to become part of something bigger, her own faction or group or something, which these folk would definitely be part of, if she'd have a say in it.<br>
<br>
She checked the time on a large clock hanging on one of the walls. Considering how everything in this city was functioning like a well-oiled machine, there was a surprising amount of clocks to keep everyone on time. She'd never seen a place keep such an accurate track of time as this City. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“The Baron should be here in fifteen minutes, so we have a bit more time for further introductions...”</b></span> She looked around to her group of friends (and the newcomer). <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm hoping we'll be able to get along well.”</b></span> She stated, generic as such a statement might be, it'd fit her current persona.</div>

Sophia giggled as she was hugged, all her arms going to wrap around the one she loved most in the whole world. She heard what her friend said, and she only hugged her tighter, whispering, <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"I'm sorry you had to go through that. And... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. Don't worry, from now on, I'll always be there when you need me, alright?"</span> She lifted up her head from Kalina's shoulder, giving her cheek a small kiss. <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"I'll let you have a snack once we're at a safe place. I've been working to make sure you can have as much as you want without worrying about me~"</span> She rubbed her cheek against the vampire as she continued to hug for what seemed to be an eternity, her body seeming like it was getting its warmth sucked out, but in a nice way. Like her being there was warming up her friend in return~<br>
<br>
Finally the hug was released as she watched her friend greet the others, giving a small curtsey as she was introduced. <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"I'm the Adventurer Guild's Otherworldly Artisan, come from a different reality to this one to push my crafting skills to their limits. I am an expert Blacksmith, Seamstress, Artificer, Bowyer, and Enchanter, and am very competent at combining those if need be for special projects~ That type of thing was how I made this, my magnum opus."</span> She lifted up her crossbow, a masterpiece of Four of the Five crafting skills she had trained up to the point of excellence. <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"I hope I don't have to use it too much, but if need be, I will use it to help anyone who needs it. I'm a crafter first, adventurer second, but for someone I love so dearly like Chandra, I was willing to come out to assist in any way I could."</span> As she moved, her clothes moved strangely for simple clothes, and any closer inspection would show that instead of normal thread, it was made fully of metal woven and placed expertly to give the impression of simple clothing. While not as impressive as the crossbow, the way it was made was still a testament to her skills. She put her crossbow on her back once more before giving a curtsey. <span style="color: rgb(209, 213, 216)">"It's nice to meet you all."</span>​</div></div>

Shion scanned the area before her eyes settled on the timid woman introducing herself as Chandra. She stepped over the mess she'd made and approached the group of varying types of folk. All of them humanoid, one of them clearly not human. She composed herself, folding her arms and closing her eyes for a moment as she processed what Chandra said.<br>
<br>
"Vampire hunt? Baron Fromm?" Shion discovered as she spoke that she was capable of speaking this language as well as understand it, even though it felt different to her home world. She wasn't complaining, that would make this easier. She shook her head and opened her eyes once she processed her thoughts, smiling warmly at Chandra to hopefully help ease her mind seeing as she could not use her words to do it for her.<br>
<br>
"I am sorry, Chandra, but I believe this 'odd appearance' you speak of was my fresh arrival in this world. This is not my home world...although it is possible my own no longer exists to begin with." Shion thought to herself before continuing. <i>That is rather pessimistic, I gave everything I could to ensure everyone's success before I passed...although my personal world there may as well be gone...I'm sorry I couldn't have done better, Olivia...</i><br>
<br>
"As for this vampire hunt...is there some trouble they are causing? I fought alongside and against vampires in my world, I have no reason to believe they are strictly forces of evil. I even met a half-vampire named Adrian who had a very caring relationship with his foster siblings." Shion stated as one of her hands raised slightly in her explanation before falling back onto her other arm. At this point the strange mult-insectoid-armed woman next to Chandra gave her elaborate introduction as which point Shion recognized her rudeness.<br>
<br>
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm adjusting to this world's flow of mana still and I nearly forgot the first part of human interaction. My name is Shion, I was a spirit guardian back home. And I am sorry, Miss...Sophia, was it? May I ask what you are? I wish not to offend anyone going forward if I can." Shion asked before turning her gaze to the rest of the hangar in both bewilderment and mild disdain.<br>
<br>
"And another thing...what is this place? I have never felt somewhere so...devoid of natural balance...although maybe that's my body's lack of adjustment to this world..."</div>

<br>
Naturally Iberis lit up when 'Chandra' came over and she swiftly reciprocated her hug, wrapping both arms around her, the gesture a bit tight, leaning her head against her a bit. "Of..course I couldn't imagine not being here with you.." She responded softly. A bit of a smile on her face now. It was Reassuring to see the likes of Sophia there since she seemed to be so friendly with Chandra. The more allies the better as far as Iberis was concerned. Losing Renee had been a big blow which still had it's lingering effects so she had a feeling that the more people 'Chandra' had with her there to support her moving forward the better.<br>
<br>
Once the hug had broken off, To Iberis there were amany interesting figures gathering around. Cayde's choice of garb was different from what Iberis usually saw. However when he introduced himself she gave a small bow. Someone who sounded like they were a friend of Kalina, even if they weren't doing the best on the not blowing her disguise bit it  was good enough for Iberis, given Kalina's response to him being overall positive.<br>
During the slight bow  toward Cayde Iberis spoke,<br>
"I met her through  a mutual friend I made at the  academy entrance exams in Ryken" Iberis replied, all of this being true. If it wasn't for Renee she wouldn't have met Kalina. Also curious as to the context of his swamp comment and what had been transpiring with that. Truthfully Iberis's interest was further peeked when he mentioned that he was an alchemist, she didn't know to many of those, and that was a skill which sounded like it could certainly be useful moving forward.<br>
<br>
Despite these two individuals who seemed nice enough and had useful skills suddenly Iberis looked even more surprised when a portal opened up that immediately reminded her of the coven's recent epic journey who she certainly was not expecting was Scylla of all people. Iberis's face became elated much more than she typically expressed at this realization. Ever since Scylla had gone through that portal she wasn't sure what had happened, but now this confirmed that she was alive and well arriving seemingly out of no where. Just hearing her voice made Iberis feel so much better...and before she knew it she was getting embraced by Scylla, tightly, Iberis could only respond by hugging Scylla back, with not as much oomph.<br>
"I'm..really happy that you're okay, you'll stay right?" She responded simply and softly, feeling her eyes get a bit teary, but she couldn't really help it, she was just so happy to see Scylla again. She too wasn't sure if she would ever see her again. She reluctantly let go when Scylla broke off from the hug to look at Cayde. But she did giggle a bit at 'Chandra's' comment about giving her some breathing room, and coming over to make a layered hug of sorts.<br>
<br>
Yet Suddenly Iberis heard a strange series of sounds and then suddenly yet another portal opened up, revealing someone who she was not familar with in the slightest.She looked toward them guarded at first, hand gripping her staff, since unlike Scylla who she knew wasn't a threat, this could be anyone or anything, and Iberis felt like she'd be none the wiser unless she exerted great caution. This only felt heightened to her when she heard Chandra approach and speak like she did not know this person which meant they were a complete outsider to the group.  When Shion started talking about not being from this world, that really surprised Iberis. It wasn't so often you'd find someone who spoke so casually about a topic like that she felt, of course in this world many things were possible, but even so.<br>
<br>
She became less guarded when it became more apparent that Shion did not seem to mean them any harm, until she was holding her staff normally again and was listening with genuine intrigue. She waited for Shion to introduce herself before she said.<br>
<br>
" I'm Iberis, Iberis Ohdir, it's nice to meet all of you." She said as she also looked to Sophia, giving her a small bow of acknowledgment, before also looking to  Shion and and Cayde to give them acknowledgement.<br>
<br>
She also took notice of Sophia's impressive handiwork in the bow. Had Sophia mentioned that she was also an artificer and an enchanter? Those  could certainly come in handy as well. "Wow, you weren't kidding Sophia that looks really cool.." The youth said her eyes alight with a bit of awe at the finely crafted crossbow she showed. She too didn't take much notice of Sophia's  physical difference, after all Auldlich had many arms.<br>
<br>
She then looked back to Shion, "A spirit guardian from another world you say? That's..pretty amazing actually,  well welcome to this realm Shion, it's not very often I get to speak to offworlders.." Iberis said a with a more friendly tone now.  It was pretty easy for her to accept Shion's word as fact when they lived in a world where you could travel across realms through magic, so why would another world be any different than that?<br>
<br>
"And Uh, while I don't know why you're feeling that way for sure, well Widersia is a pretty built up urban  place, particularly where we are right now in the capital, I don't think that there's too much nature around so..that might be why you're feeling that way." Iberis concluded with her educated guess.</div>

A wide grin formed on Cayde's face as Kalina returned his jest. Still the same old Kalina, he thought. The swamps hadn't changed her at all. He wished he could say the same for himself. All that time alone left room for <i>plenty</i> of changes. It'd feel great showing her how much better the new him was. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Glad to see you're still yourself, <i>Chandra</i>,"</span> </b>Cayde said, hand outstretched to accept Kalina's seemingly innocuous handshake. He wasn't expecting to be pulled in. Or for her to vaguely mention Kesh. <br>
<br>
His grin quickly twisted into a conflicted frown. Of course, Kalina would've caught on. She hadn't changed, still as perceptive as ever. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm fine,"</span> </b>Cayde whispered, hoping she ignored the quiver in his voice. His eyes drifted off to the side. Maybe he should tell her. The hopeless nights treading through those swamps, the empty days waking up with no one there, the anxiety... He shook the thoughts out of his head. Kalina didn't need to know. He couldn't bum her out with <i>old</i> Cayde's problems. He could solve them later - by <i>himself</i>. The newer him could do that easily. Surely. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You don't gotta worry about me, okay? I've gotten over it. Promise." </span></b><br>
<br>
As Cayde stepped away, he felt a warm sensation on his face. He turned,  eyes widening as Scylla made quite the brilliant entrance. She still seemed just as carefree and bubbly from the time in the marshes. Good to see some things never changed.<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> "Hey! Good to see you again, Scylla,"</span> </b>Cayde said,<b> <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, I picked up a few new tricks, started sleeping more, found some new recipes... I'd say I'm doing alright,"</span> </b>His gaze shifted to Iberis, his voice holding the same amiableness. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And it's a pleasure to meet you, too,"</span></b><br>
<br>
Finally, there was Sophia, the pincered bug-woman. Or was she a pincered Fae? He still couldn't find out. <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Ah, so you're a fellow crossbowman, too, eh?"</span> </b>Cayde said, studying her weapon. He wasn't sure how she could've wielded it with those claws. Or if <i>he</i> could wield it at all. The thing looked like it'd break his arms if he tried.<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> <b>"Mine's not as awesome as yours, but after this is all over, I'm thinkin' of making a little upgrade. Maybe you could-" </b></span><br>
<br>
 The sound of something crashing above the hangar made Cayde cut off his sentence. He watched as one big pile of person-shaped rubble dropped before him. He looked closer, quickly noticing that it was indeed a person. A woman. He noticed that quickly, too. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh!"</span> </b>Cayde muttered, quickly turning his head away. He could still hear Shion talking. Something about "Home-worlds" and "Spirit Guardians." It didn't make any sense. She must've been delirious, he thought. He <i>should've</i> been helping her.<br>
<br>
Sucking air through his teeth, Cayde slowly looked back to the scene. Thankfully, Shion seemed relatively okay. "Relatively" wouldn't be good enough, though. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Ah! Sorry, ma'am, are you alright?"</span> </b>He said, reaching into his pack to retrieve his medical kit, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Did you hit anything on the way down?"</span> </b>He kept fishing through his bag for some gauze and splints, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You're in Wildersia, just between the See and The East Empire. <b>And... what was that about being from a <i>different</i> <i>world?" </i></b></span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde stopped to look at Iberis, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You said something about an offworlder, too, yeah? What <i>is</i> that, exactly?" </span></b></div>

As soon as the witch let go of her old coven friend, another suddenly grabbed hold of her before asking Scylla to ease her grip on her friend,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Oops! S-sorry! Heh!"</span><br>
<br>
Upon hearing Iberis inquiry, and question about whether or not she'd stay she sighed with a bit of a shrug. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I really don't know. You see, I kind of sort of made a deal with the eldritch, I'm hoping I could become headmaster right away if I prove to myself formidable!"</span> Putting her hands on her hip she shifted her weight to the side.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "You know, things back there.. you know, in the underworld. Mhm, alot of things came into perspective, I want to be powerful yes, but also, I want to be good. I want to help people, and maybe show them that demons could be our besty best friends!"</span> She giggled, holding back laughing out loud,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I've totally lost my marbles as you can tell!"</span>  looked up a bit, as if pulling answers from some kind of cloud in her mind.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Uhm, yeah I didn't explain that correctly." </span>She closed an eye for a moment really thinking hard before turning to Iberis, then getting much closer while the others were distracted with introductions and generally  catching up. The witch spoke softly, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I know it must be very hard to trust, you know? After everything."</span> Fixing the rebellious streaks of hair on Iberis head she continued,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "For what its worth, Madam Renee made her choice. That doesn't mean we should follow in her footsteps. Although, I miss her terribly when i'm alone."</span> She puckered her lips a bit, thinking hard, squinting, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Yeah, this is getting too sad, sorry about that kiddo!"</span> She'd take her hat and trade it with hers, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hey, your hat is cozy! How do I look?" </span>She made a bit of a pose, swaying her dress, winking, making funny arm gestures or faking a growl.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Pfft! Hey by the way, my hat is haunted. Soooo.. here, you can have yours back."</span> She quickly traded once more. <br>
<br>
 <br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Eeek! Who's-" </span>Her hand reached behind her and accidentally touched 'Chandra's' mouth.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Whoa!"</span> She gasped, although Kalina felt a little cold, it wasn't that big of a deal. She turned around and hugged her back. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Nice to see ya too!" </span><span style="color: #efefef">She exclaimed happily before letting her go.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "We have quite a bit of catching up to do. But maybe some other time."</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #9365b8">"Splendid! Just splendid!"</span> Scylla replied to Cayde, with a highly approving nod as she held the rim of her hat. <br>
<br>
Noticing the one named Shiron, especially her sudden entrance into this band of adventurers, she thought it prudent to introduce herself,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Hello, stranger! Names Scylla, I'm a witch.. but.. obviously not the kind that will fatten you up and cook you for dinner! Pfft! I'm also a student at the Ryken Academy, I'd say i'm on my last semester of the year. Anyway, I bake cookies and all kinds of pastries, lets have a tea party sometime!"</span> She winked and went back to the others. She was a bit shy around newcomers, what she really wanted to say was that she was from another world as well. But, that would open all manner of sadness, too early for that!<br>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Ooooo.."</span> She cooed as she brought her hands under her own chin, fluttering her eyelashes. At Sophie and Kalina (Chandra)<span style="color: #9365b8"> "..can I have one of those.."</span> She said as she pointed to her own cheek.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..right here." </span><span style="color: #efefef">Public displays of affection weren't common in Scyllas life, plus, she'd never been in love.

Are you two lovers?"</span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)"> She frowned, then realizing that her question likely could be taken the same way as her previous strange request. </span></span></div>

Getting a four-armed hug was comforting, even if those four arms were rather buggy. Knowing who they belonged to easily made up for whatever bad connotations their shape might give them, at least to Kalina. Truth be told, she wasn't sure if she should believe Sophia's words. After all, such a promise was exactly what she'd thought her relation with Renee to have been like, which ended... <br>
<br>
She didn't want to think about it. <br>
<br>
The thought of a 'snack' was alluring, especially an unlimited one, but it was difficult to be as eager about it as she'd otherwise be, with many concerns still weighing down her mind. For one, whether they'd even find a safe place here. Even so; <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> She gave the heartfelt reply to all that'd been said, hoping her doubts were her own insecurities and nothing more. Sophia's introduction was rather grandiose, but she could be forgiven for it. Kalina, for one, didn't mind it.<br>
<br>
The new person, on the other hand, was 'odd' to say the least. Mostly due to having no clue what they were here for and then straight up telling everyone she was from another world. She even went on a short 'rant' about vampires, which showed she truly had no clue about how 'this' world worked. That was probably something that could work to Kalina's advantage. Iberis already questioned and answered some of Shion's statements, so Kalina figured she'd focus on another aspect.<br>
<br>
That said, she did have to prepare to be 'Chandra' whilst doing so. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Loosing an entire world... that must be difficult.”</b></span> She started, somewhat wishing she didn't have to 'shy down' what she wanted to say for the sake of staying in character. Perhaps she should've picked a different identity for this mission. One that wasn't shy? It was too late now. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Y-y-you're mistaken.”</b></span> She stammered at the vampire statement. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“There's a r-rumour of some vampires that are... not monsters, yes. But this one is a [monster] vampire, which means it's g-guaranteed it's evil.”</b></span> The irony of her statements probably wouldn't be lost on her friends. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“After all, a m-monster nature makes one evil, wanting to hurt and destroy everything else, unable to love anything other than chaos and destruction.”</b></span> That part was true. It was also exactly why she was hoping to get rid off her own, but that wasn't something for Shion to learn about.<br>
<br>
As for Cayde, she doubted his words. Something about him felt a bit off. It made her feel a little mixed, as she didn't want to drag someone into <i>her</i> problems when they hadn't even properly dealt with their own. Or perhaps she was overthinking it? It made it difficult to know what to reply. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“No, instead, promise me to tell me if you realise you might not be.”</b></span> She ended up replying, not even sure what she meant with that herself, other than hoping to not make him feel on his own, perhaps.<br>
<br>
The topic soon shifted to offworlders, mentioned by Sophia, Shion, Iberis... Kalina was one as well, but she truly didn't want to think about it for as much as a second. Awful as her life here had been at times, what she'd left behind had been even worse. After all, in here she at least had made some friends along the way. It's why she opted to stay silent on the topic. <br>
<br>
On the topic of staying silent, another reason to do so was Scylla's hand somehow finding her way towards Kalina's mouth. For a moment she just wondered if her friend wanted her to shut up or bite down, then she recovered and realised it'd just been an accident. However, out of all what Scylla said, one thing hurt Kalina considerably. The fact that Scylla missed Renee. Kalina felt the same, but Kalina knew she wasn't allowed to feel that way, after all...  <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm sorry I... I...”</b></span> <i>had to do it</i>. Those four words would've finished the sentence, but she couldn't utter them, as Scylla publicly confessing how much she missed Renee was making her doubt herself and her actions from back then. Had she made the wrong choice? No, she couldn't fall back into her confused and turmoil filled self. She was here to sort things out. <br>
<br>
With some effort, she managed to pull herself back into the present, narrowly avoiding getting lost in the past. It was a little surprising when Scylla started asking for kisses. Then again, considering Kalina was barely any more well-versed in matters of love and affection, she didn't think much of it and would give Scylla a kiss on the cheek. That's when she realised she was meant to be shy in this persona. Time to get her deception to work. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“T-t-there... as a t-t-thanks for c-c-oming to help me.”</b></span> She stammered, however, midway through her act, she realised that she actually sort-off felt like that as well. Was this an odd thing to do?<br>
<br>
To make matters worse, Scylla suddenly asked if she and Sophia were lovers. She looked into Sophia's eyes and immediately regretted doing so. What were they? The part [monster] in her knew very well what Sophia was to it, namely [a really fun source of food]. The left-over parts of her identity as a human in her previous life also had an answer [a close and trustworthy friend]. However, what was Sophia towards Kalina as a whole? What was Sophia to the person that Kalina had become in this world?<br>
<br>
Sophia herself was fairly open about saying she loved Kalina, even in public. Kalina, on the other hand, couldn't really recall when she had admitted to something like that about anyone. Closest had been Renee and she... Again, her mind wandered back to that. If 'love' was what led to such scenes, then it was better not to love anyone, wasn't it? Should she deny it, or would that hurt Sophia? It's not like she didn't like Sophia a whole lot, but was that love? Maybe, but then, if it was love, did that mean she'd feel the same pain again as with Renee? In the end, she couldn't come up with an answer. She wanted desperately to be close to all her friends here, but the idea of 'loving' them meant that losing them would hurt as much as losing Renee had, which terrified her. She didn't even take into account the difference between 'loving' and 'being lovers' yet.<br>
<br>
As Kalina was frying her brain over some things, one of the many constructs running around on its work stopped in its tracks in front of the group. It was pretty small, only coming to the height of the waist of most others.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbcode-height-restrict" style="height: 300px;"><div class="bbImageWrapper  js-lbImage" title="ABJqVGh.png" data-src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FABJqVGh.png&amp;hash=8095150a10dd83daa31397c4bac7af30" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1">

	</div></div></div><br>
As it stood in front of the group, it started making loud clicking noises in a certain pattern. Every 0 was a pause, every 1 a click. The pauses and clicks lasted exactly the same amount of times for each digit, yet they happened in such a rapid pace that it was often tough to fully distinguish between the clicks and the pauses. <br>
<br>
01010000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01101100 01101111 01100011 01100001 01110100 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 01110011 01100101 01101100 01110110 01100101 01110011 00101110 00001010<br>
<br>
However, none of them were able to understand it. (<span style="color: red">Nobody speaks Analog, which from now on is one of the few skills I'm not going to allow to be added later for plot-based reasons.</span>) It repeated the clicking pattern a few times, but eventually seemed to be aware of the fact its 'words' weren't heard or went ignored. Seemingly oddly frustrated for a small construct, it turned around and started making clicking noises towards the other constructs in the distance. <br>
<br>
01001000 01101111 01110111 00100000 01100100 01101111 00100000 01110111 01100101 00100000 01101101 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01101101 00111111<br>
<br>
There was no reply from the other constructs, but it was clear that the group was slowly getting more and more of the attention of them now. As identical constructs started to observe them, as if debating something. <br>
<br>
Kalina was starting to feel a little nervous from it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Ehm... does anyone have an idea what they might want..?”</b></span> She asked, looking around a little nervously.</div>

<br>
(I just remembered Sophia spoke in brown, so I'll use that from here on.)<br>
<br>
Sophia glanced towards Shion, thinking he was taking things surprisingly well. When she heard the question asked towards her, she gave a small shrug. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Spider gal. I'm a fae but for the most part I think of myself as human. After all, until a year ago, that's what I was. And kindly don't call me by my race, if you can help it. If I hear someone call me the spider or anything like that, I'm gonna blow a fuse."</span> She grinned, showing she was joking, if only partially.<br>
<br>
Her eyes moved to the other two, thanking them for their compliments on her craftsmanship before glancing to specifically Cayde, filling in what had been interrupted. She nodded, stating, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Sure, I can help upgrade your crossbow. Shouldn't be too difficult. After all, you're talking to one of the best crafters around. If I couldn't do that, I couldn't really say anything of the sort about myself, could I?"</span><br>
<br>
Finally, smirked at Scylla's question. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Sadly, I must say, these lips are only for Chandra~ Though, I can offer you this as a simple consolation prize~"</span> She blew a kiss towards the witch as she continued to ramble, eventually dropping a bombshell. Sophia's eyes widened at the query, her eyes looking over to Kalina. She noted how nervous the other girl was, and when she didn't answer, Sophia took it upon herself to respond. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"To be honest, there's nothing in the world I want more. I've been working on improving myself for her, and hell, one of the reasons I wanted to create the guild I'm building up back home is so people like my lovely Chandra can be safe and always have a place to go where they know they won't be ripped off or sent away. I love her, but I would never try to push her to go at my pace. Until she makes a decision, though, I will worship my darling all the same~"</span> She smiled, leaning on Kalina, gripping her arm at the same time. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"But even outside of that, she gives me purpose outside of work, so that's another reason I will always love her~"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">As the robot walked up to her, she frowned at the language that came out of his mouth, tilting her head as she thought it over before she stated, </span><span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Sounds like some sort of binary way of talking. Ones and Zeroes. Sadly, when I was in a place where that type of this was around, I was more old fashioned and did stuff like working in a forge or on bows. I mean, it turned out alright when I came here, but it doesn't help me too much at this point in time. I know how to count in binary, not talk in it."</span><span style="color: null"> Her claws slowly trailed to her crossbow, the craftswoman not liking how many of them seemed to be focusing in on their band of merry women and singular merry man.</span>​</div></div>

(If using colored text will help see her speech lines better, I'll do it too. <img src="https://www.rpnation.com/media/emoticon1-opensmile.23673/full?d=1488654803" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="smile open    :D" data-shortname=":D">)<br>​</div>Shion's eyes continued to look around the hangar as Iberis introduced herself to her. Once she took an interest in her status as a spirit guardian, she finally returned her eyes to the young woman. Once she was done explaining that this place was a capital city called Widersia, Shion folded her arms as she processed everything before her ears depressed against her head as her mood visibly followed suit. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I see...so much life removed from this place...even more so then the civilizations of man from my home." </span><br>
<br>
She shook her head the next moment, her visage becoming more positive as she smiled at Iberis. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thank you for your explanation, it is very nice to meet you Iberis Ohdir. I am afraid I lack a surname as I do not share an upbringing similar to most people. If you wish to ask me more about my status and my home world later, I would love to share my stories. I have...some amount of centuries worth to share, I lost track after I hit one hundred years."</span><br>
<br>
She then turned her head as Cayde hurriedly tried to assist her after her fall. She looked over herself before noticing a scrape on her leg. She smiled to him.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "No need, I can handle it."</span> She adjusted herself as her hand laid over the scrape, but as magical energy faintly began to glow from her hand, it soon faded with the mild injury remaining. With a frustrated sigh, she looked back to Cayde.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"My apologies, seems I'm still not accustom to the flow of this world's mana entirely. Thank you...Cayde, yes?"</span> She took the medical supplies from him, knelt down and began tending herself. She decided to address his questions while she was treating the scrape on her leg.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"This is not my home world, exactly as it sounds. My home was ravaged by an ever stretching abyss that threatened to swallow it up, demons known as Abyssians were the perpetrators of the carnage. Many of us stood against the tide; heroes, villains, rivals, allies, friends, lovers, all walks of life took up arms to fight them back. We were making strong progress, but at the zenith of the conflict...I received a mortal wound taking out one of the demonic generals. Instead of dying though...I was offered a life in another world. The meeting in the afterlife is somewhat fuzzy to me, but if there was another world's balance I could prevent from entering such a dire state, I had to take it. Unfortunately, a new world means the mana flows and functions differently to mine, and it seems my hands have mastered little more than altering the clothes upon my form as it stands."</span> She fully explained to Cayde without wavering, with full honesty, and only a couple pauses as memories flashed through her mind of the intensity of the conflict. She left out Olivia for now, there was no reason to make the story more tragic right now. She handed back the remainder of the supplies she didn't use now that her leg was bandaged properly.<br>
<br>
Then Scylla introduced herself, and Shion couldn't help but smile at her. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That sounds lovely, I would love to accept your generosity Scylla. Such a practiced student for your age. I am impressed."</span><br>
<br>
Then Chandra began to speak to her again. Shion turned and intently listened to her. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I am hopeful those I left behind will emerge victorious. Either way...I have no reason to go back..."</span> Shion's mood depressed for a moment, then Chandra explained the way vampires and 'monsters' worked in this world. Her eyes dimmed with a tinge of sadness.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I see...such a shame there is no hope to sway their hearts. Consider myself at your disposal until I gather my bearings more, if they truly are evil, I cannot let them harm those that do not deserve it."</span> Shion said to Chandra, and everyone present for that fact. Her brow raised afterwards however at Chandra's sudden confidence when confronting Cayde about whatever personal matter they were discussing before she showed up and was fully cognizant. Sophia gave her a concise answer on her origin soon after so Shion put that thought to one side for now.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thank you, I shall keep that in mind Sophia."</span> She smiled at her. And then Scylla's request for kisses came. Chandra took one cheek, and then Sophia began this spiel about her love for this woman. While Shion's ears stayed tuned to that, a smirk spread across her face. She approached the girl while Sophia spoke.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If she won't, then I'll take the other, Young One."</span> She said as she bent over to bring herself down to Scylla's level and proceeded to kiss the cheek Chandra had not. She giggled to herself when she was done. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Was that satisfactory, Scylla?"</span> She didn't settle down for another moment or two, but she couldn't help herself with how flustered the witch was after her rapid fire awkward inquiries.  Something had caught her attention from Sophia's speech while she was busy teasing the girl in front of her though. Chandra was a tougher fighter than she seemed if Sophia wanted to grant her a safe place. Good to know, in fact she probably shouldn't underestimate anyone here. Doubly so, she was probably the weak link given how much her body felt so sluggish here right now.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Then the binary came from behind her.</b></i> As soon as the sounds began coming from the nearby construct, Shion spun around and nearly slung whatever magic she could at the noise as it startled her. She stopped herself quickly though when she felt the construct wasn't hostile, and merely looked at it with confusion before Chandra and Sophia commented on it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Binary...speech? You mean this thing is <i>alive?</i> How?"</span> Shion asked with a bit of distress in her tone as one of her hands still looked primed to sling some kind of magic even if she herself was unsure what would come out.</div>

 </b>​</div><br>
Cayde slowly nodded as Shion spoke, her predicament beginning to sound oddly familiar. Yet, underneath his mask, his eyes narrowed. Didn't he read about this before? Somewhere in the grimoire, past all the cantrips, channeling techniques, and confusing banishing rituals, wasn't there <i>something</i> about these 'otherworldly' visitors? Only one thing came to mind. A tiny excerpt detailing the spontaneous appearances of certain <i>peculiar</i> individuals. Folk with knowledge beyond this existence, eyes that could scan like appraisal orbs, appearances nearly impossible to differentiate from a native. And all supposedly originating from completely different worlds. <br>
<br>
He tried to scoff at the thought. It all had to be magical mumbo-jumbo. Something some batty wizards came up with in their spare time. But Shion's story lined up well. <i>Too</i> well. Maybe Shion wasn't delirious at all. Maybe Iberis was right. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><i>"Offworlder..." </i></span></b>Cayde thought, his eyes scrutinizing Shion. She seemed pretty reasonable so far. But perhaps it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on her. Or ask a few questions. Or take some notes...<br>
<br>
Shion concluding her story and handing back his supplies made him snap back to reality. A tinge of guilt bubbled in his gut. All this time reminiscing, he'd forgotten to be a decent human being. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Thank you, and... I'm sorry. Didn't want you to relive something that horrible," </b></span>He said, slightly bowing his head, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"But you're in good hands now. Trust me." </b></span>With that, Cayde set off to fit the med kit into his pack, subconsciously listening to the conversation behind him. Nothing too out of the ordinary. More explanations, more lovey-dovey stuff, kisses for Scylla...<br>
<br>
Cayde paused. Did he hear that right? <br>
<br>
He shifted a bit, looking over his shoulder. No, he heard right. There were <i>indeed</i> kisses for Scylla. And it was just as hilarious as it sounded. A playful smile came onto Cayde's face. He knew just what to say. He turned, and nothing came to mind. Odd, Cayde thought, shifting attention to his smile. It didn't feel right. Not enough teeth. Lips barely spread. No laughter hidden behind them. Just blank.<br>
<br>
<i>What was going on?</i> Cayde told himself. There wasn't anything to be sad about. This was great. Everyone was getting along just fine - messing with each other like long-lasted buddies. He should be there with them. Any sociable person would. God knows Kesh would have, too. <br>
<br>
The thought stirs a familiar feeling inside him. He notices the space between him and the others. Suddenly, the hangar doesn't feel as crowded anymore. <br>
<br>
Cayde heard something moving. His eyes landed on a construct, clicking some strange code he couldn't understand. Binary, he'd hear Sophia and Shion say. Another thing that sounded completely otherworldly. Cayde shook the thought out of his head, as well as whatever remained of that feeling. No time for thinking about theories or the past. Everyone else was already wary of the construct. He <i>should</i> have been the same.  <br>
<br>
He cleared his throat, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Well, Shion, <i>usually,</i> these things are animated through magic," </b></span>He carefully walked up to the construct, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"And uh, I'm guessing this one's trying to lead us somewhere?" </b></span>He said, shrugging his shoulders, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You said the baron was supposed to meet us here, right, Chandra? Maybe he couldn't make it? Sent one of these guys to come and escort us?" </b></span></div>

<br>
"I dunno too much about them, I guess there are people who arrive  from other worlds, I don't think there's exactly a one size fits all definition for their reasons for coming or location from where they come from." Iberis tried to answer to the best of her ability there with such little information. Unaware that she herself was technically an offworlder, she just didn't remember clearly.<br>
<br>
Then her attention was quickly back to Scylla. While that wasn't the most reassuring response to Iberis's question at the very least it didn't sound like Scylla was going to go back into any strange realm any time soon. She really didn't want to see her go yet again for so long. Iberis was glad to hear that it sounded like Scylla had some nobile  goals to achieve there in terms of working with things that were typically associated with being bad.Iberis knew from experience that working with Auldlich that he had not been evil as everyone would have assumed so there had to be some merit there to what Scylla was saying since she had come from whatever realm those undead royals had invited her too.<br>
<br>
Iberis smiled some at the lighter mood Scylla was in, particularly at the  in her opinion hyperbolic statement about her losing her marbles, Iberis had seen plenty of awful things from the book and she managed to recover reasonably well, she was just glad that Scylla was okay, despite whatever she encountered there. Naturally she let Scylla touch her hair and get up close. She then gave Scylla a bit of a bitter sweet nod upon hearing her tell her that Renee made her choice. Yes she ahd made her choice that was one way of putting it, and she could empathize with Scylla feeling lonely as a result.<br>
<br>
"Well at least..the rest of us have each other now that you're back.." she responded softly,<br>
<br>
 before nodding once more, it was okay that Scylla was covering the heavier topic to her.<br>
<br>
Upon the hat swap and Scylla's wide gesture's Iberis couldn't help but giggle some "You look great as ever" She then raised an inquisitive brow wondering if Scylla was serious about the haunted hat, but before she could ask properly Scylla was off to exchanging  words and actions with other people there. Eitherway Iberis felt a deal better than she had prior.<br>
<br>
Iberis then watched 'Chandra' put on excellent acting once again, she really wondered how Kalina did it, before thinking back to how Kalina certainly had many years to perfect her different faces so to speak. Even though Iberis had heard many times that's what being a monster meant, she found it hard to believe with Kalina..someone who had to deal with something like that she just didn't strike Iberis that way what so ever..but she knew that for the vast majority of monsters what Chandra said was true.<br>
<br>
Iberis found the romantic questioning to be quite interesting a bit of a smile forming, as she looked over with her semi perpetual tired gaze, seeing quickly that Scylla was stirring up some 'trouble' there, as she couldn't help but wonder about Sophia too, she seemed awfully close with Kalina, was there something going on there? All these adult problems, she thought to herself, as if she would have the time getting caught up in such trivial things when there was a world of magic to explore, she thought to herself.<br>
<br>
Then of course Sophia provided the answer to the mystery, that she was in fact not lovers with Kalina, even though she made it abundantly clear that she was interested in doing so.<br>
<br>
Iberis perked up some at hearing Shion so willingly to talk to her more about her world. Of course Iberis was interested new world meant new magical knowledge to be discovered potentially, and she was very much in favor of that. "I would..really like that a lot Shion." she replied with a smile a hint of excitement in her eyes at the prospect of getting to talk to someone who proclaimed to be an offworlder so freely. In the back of Iberis's mind she hoped that wouldn't cause Shion any trouble down the line, while she didn't mind she knew that didn't necessarily mean that the local populace wouldn't be bothered by this sort of thing. She then listened to the back story which Shion had to share and it was all quite intense, and left her unable to help but feel bad for her.<br>
<br>
But then she witnessed Shion joining in on whatever was going on there, Shion placing a kiss on Scylla's cheek, this was at the point Iberis started to feel a bit of second hand embarrassment for Chandra with so much attention on her and all this going on around her. While she knew that Kalina was more outgoing Chandra wasn't supposed to be but even then she doubted that Kalina would be used to this sort of attention like this from this many people.<br>
<br>
At the very least it seemed to Iberis that Cayde was taking well to Shion. But suddenly there was that sound of analog being spoken that Iberis really had no idea what to make of. as she turned rapidly to face the construct. "Sorry I don't speak that.." she said softly to no one in particular after Chandra's comment. She hoped that they weren't in trouble or doing something wrong, even then Iberis held onto her staff tightly and looked skeptically at the constructs, she then heard Cayde's explanation which sounded reasonable enough perhaps.<br>
<br>
"Yeah maybe that's what's going on, it's as good an explanation as any, I can't say.I know that much about constructs other then yeah, they're usually powered by magic and can do all sorts of neat stuff." she said a bit more positively toward the end, as long as that neat stuff didn't end up hurting the group while this was somewhat uncomfortable, she hoped they were going to find out soon and that it wouldn't be an issue.</div>

The world was a strange place. Had Kalina possessed any more fresh blood in her veins, Sophia's words would've likely made her blush by now. However, it also made her feel bad. What had she even done to deserve such a loyalty? For Sophia to even mention 'worship' so casually was making her uncomfortable, as it was too much of a contrast to all her flaws. Luckily, her desired reaction was fitting the persona she'd taken on. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I-I don't... deserve such a thing.” </b></span> She said, shaking her head. As glad as she was to have Sophia here, to hear her say such things only made her more concerned she'd inevitably end up hurting again when she ended up betrayed or when she ended up loosing another loved one. She was glad with the distraction that the small construct provided, as it allowed her to focus on something else for a while.<br>
<br>
Another welcome distraction was Shion, who sided on the anti-monster side, as she should. The irony of making such a promise was once again something only those in the know would realise. However, there was one thing that bugged Kalina, which directly tied back to her feeling unworthy of Sophia. It's why she figured she'd add the part for all to hear, but in particular for Sophia. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“T-they say that... if m-monsters love something deeply... they'll eventually want to destroy it. Their hearts are that d-deeply... corrupted.”</b></span> Considering what Kalina had done to Hope, she knew she wasn't as in-control of her monstrous side as she wanted to be. How could she expect someone to love her when she might end up being unable to resist hurting or even killing them? No. She needed these people and she cared for them, Sophia perhaps even more so, but that meant all the more she should play it safe and stay far enough away from them.<br>
<br>
She moved to the next topic at hand. The little construct that'd been making noises at them. Sophia was on guard against it. Shion mostly seemed confused. Then Cayde suggested it wanted to lead them somewhere, backed up by Iberis. Kalina had her doubts, but she didn't have another explanation, so she nodded. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Alright, let's try that.”</b></span><br>

The construct kept standing still for a bit when they approached, 'staring' at each of them for a bit, if it could even be called that with whatever it used to take note of its surroundings. Now that they were closer, some things stood out. There were lots of gears spinning and every now and again, small bits of steam released from its joints. This thing wasn't as much 'magic' as it was some brilliant piece of Tinkering ingenuity fuelled by some mysterious fuel source. The most magical part about it was it's intelligence, which didn't seem to be akin to that of a full-fledged person's, but still enough for it to 'talk' and try to get its objective fulfilled.<br>
<br>
As for that objective, once it realised they were coming towards it, it stepped back a bit. Then another bit. It started making clicking noises at them again.<br>
<br>

It didn't seem like it was really trying to lead them somewhere, as it was just getting them to move elsewhere from where they'd been standing. As the group made way, the reason for it became clear. The noise of something approaching fast could be heard, steam, tires, gears. This thing was rather noisy and approach quickly.<br>

It only started to slow down at the last possible moment, with loud hisses of steam escaping from the large tank on its back. It stopped exactly where they'd been standing previously and might've needed to get a far less ideal entrance should anyone have remained there... It seemed like timing in this city was important. Being where you needed to be on time was one thing, but even being out of the way on time was of importance. Amidst the steam coming out of the vehicle, two individuals could be spotted seated in the car.<br>

The first was a woman, behind the wheel. She was heavily modified, but seemed to be mostly Human. The next, sitting beside her, did not have any non-construct-like features visible. If he/she/it even possessed them at all. <br>

The two of them had barely left the car before the smaller constructs had already started working on it. Filling up the water tank, cranking some gears, inspecting some valves... They'd likely been waiting for this vehicle to arrive to start their maintenance routine on it.<br>
<br>
Rather than introducing themselves, they seemed to opt to observe those that had gathered carefully. In particular the woman was practically acting as if she was looking at every inch of everyone's being with her mildly creepy, glazed-out eyes.</div>

<br>
Looking at Kalina she smiled softly, knowing that whatever loss the witch felt was likely many many times worse for her. She had taken it upon herself to commit the final blow to their corrupted coven leader. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“There’s no need to apologize to me. If there’s anything i can do to help you in any way, please let me know.”</span> She looked down,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Although our loss is ginormous, we cannot falter in our convictions and let ourselves get sad. But.. if you ever want to know more about her story, she’s in my book.”</span> She sighed with a shrug, as if shaking off her own melancholy even though she knew that looking through such pages in her book would only make things worse, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I’m glad you summoned me. Heh, it was getting hot down there.”</span> She said finally with a bit more confidence.<br>
<br>
As Scylla continued to speak, absentmindedly fixing Iberis’s hair, the witch snapped out of it when her bestest friend and colleague brought up the friendship they all shared. Had she been so oblivious to her own emotional disconnection? Perhaps it was an attempt to keep her sugary heart safe from further harm that she simply didn’t see the fact that everyone here was in some way shape or form ones to be trusted. Of course, Sophia and Shion were still very much strangers to a degree. The witch gave Iberis’ a confused look for a moment, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Eh? We.. have.. eachother?” </span>she repeated before looking to the others.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hm, yeah i guess you’re right.”</span> Somehow Iberis’ knew what to say, even after everything that has happened and quite frankly the sheer amount of violence that took place. The vision she was thrown into threatened to come back up in her mind like a crocodile in a pond, rearing its head ever so slightly above the water of her psyche. That’s when she decided to lighten things up and trade hats! <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Why thank you, kiddo! I certainly feel as great as ever!” </span>She giggled before giving her a quick hug and moving on to the others.<br>
<br>
A bit later, Scylla found herself in quite the predicament after asking for affection and inquiring about Sophias associations with Kalina. However, before she could comment or mention anything Kalina herself pressed her cold lips against her rosy cheek. Scylla gasped, blushing deeply,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Whoa.. so shy, so coy, thank you!”</span> she replied as her world seemed to go blurry with bashfulness. It didn’t help that another, the stranger she had introduced herself to only moments ago, noticing her ears and mature features made her pulse quicken. Little did she know only a second later she’d feel another kiss on her other cheek this one sending her further into her blushing spiral. Her pupils turning into hearts as her jaw dropped a bit. She’d take a few steps back, seemingly drunk or blissfully intoxicated by whatever emotions were taking over her. The witch would tippy toe dance briefly as she put her hands over her heart.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Like.. wow!” </span>she exclaimed blissfully. Then replying to her question, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Yes, absolutely satisfactory! I shall put it in the vault of the castle of my heart and treasure it for ever and ever and ever!” </span>Then the final affection attack came from Sophia as by now Scylla was seemingly in a whole other universe. Given to the illusion, her mind would animate the kiss leaving the fae’s lips, turning into a arrow tipped with a heart striking her right in the feelings! <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“AWW!! So faithful, so loyal, so precious, i’m.. i’m..”</span> She’d then suddenly faint dramatically, placing the back of her hand on her forehead. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..consoled.” </span><br>
<br>
Laying there for a few moments, still under the trance and dizziness of such an affectionate attack!<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I’m.. going to just.. lay here for a bit.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
<br>
Once the effects of the daze wore off however, a strange clicky mechanical sound could be heard. It certainly was a foreign sound, so she sat up,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hmm.. hello there!”</span> She waved, then shrugged and looked at the others.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “What do you suppose this little guy is saying?” </span>She asked without really expecting an answer or anything more than what she knew herself. Some would approach it, yet it stepped back appearing a bit uncomfortable at what could seem like towering fleshy beings to the mechanical little droid like being. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Hey, it’s kinda cute isn’t it?” </span>She asked the wind as she held an index finger to her chin in thought. It was here she was wishing she’d make a stop at the library to understand the principles of ‘mind control’ how fun would it be to make this little droid her pet? Alas, her chaotic train of thought would cease as a motor car speed closer and closer. Feeling the ground beneath her shake at its approch she got up frantically.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Eek! Something is coming!”</span> She called before standing behind Kalina, peeking at the car through the gaps.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Who.. do you suppose they are? They’re certainly not very friendly looking are they?”</span> She stated,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I know, I’ll just.. go say hello.” </span>The woman in the car already had her eyes fixed upon the party, but Scylla didn't hesitate to call out,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hey there!”</span> She waved, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Is that little steam construct yours?” </span>She asked, pointing at the code emitting baby construct. Scylla would also use, [Appraisal]. Hopefully they we’re friendly, there had to be some kind of authority here to keep things under control right? Such a ‘well oiled’ system had to have its failsafes!</div>

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzzshion1-png.1078179/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1015/1015309-8ba5c84b3f93f210868711428277e9b0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzzShion1.png" title="zzzShion1.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a><br>​</div><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Scylla!"</span> Shion reacted instinctively at Scylla losing her ability to stand, completely forgetting about the construct. She closed what little distance there was after her applied kiss to the woman's cheek and gently managed to catch her in her arms while kneeling down to support her fall. She held Scylla in a way the woman would be comfortable until she awoke.<br>
<br>
Shion looked over to Cayde once the minor crisis was averted, and she couldn't help but smile at his kindness as he apologized for making her relive her past while also offering her protection. Her tail wagged back and forth once as she adjusted her hold on Scylla so she could better look at the plague doctor. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It is alright, Cayde, I've lost a lot in my lifetime, that's what happens when you live a life as long as mine...time passes you by whether you want it to or not. It is why I strive to make the best memories I can with the people I meet. Humans like to test my desire on such things at times, but...meeting the true end of my life with bitterness in my heart will only make it sting harder. I shall accept your offer for protection, someday I hope to be able to pay back such kindness."</span><br>
<br>
She felt a small amount of pity for him. Here she was, an outsider telling him this story that must sound ludicrous if offworlders sounded like such a strange concept here, and she also wasn't able to tell him a happy one. Perhaps later, she'd like to have a moment to breathe...where there wasn't so much of this "steam" structure around.<br>
<br>
She then caught Iberis' joy and excitement out of the corner of her eye and turned her attention to her. She felt surprisingly welcome around the first humans she met here. It was...a very welcome happenstance. She actually giggled as she realized something and looked Iberis in the eyes.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "You know, I know someone that just invited me to take tea and pastries with her." </span>She glanced to the momentarily unconscious witch.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Perchance we could find somewhere...less urbanized after and share some stories?" </span><br>
<br>
It was clear whenever Shion looked around before and just now during her suggestion that the state of this city dampened her mood, but she at least seemed to return to the warm, kind woman when she was actually addressing those around her welcoming her to this world. It was then she processed what Cayde and Iberis said about the construct.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Animated through magic...I don't know whether to be amazed or fearful of such ingenuity..."</span> She said as she looked back at the construct with mixed emotions. Humans mixing magic into the civilizations? Could that...could that be the answer to bringing the balance of the spirits into such a place? It both made her curious, but at the same time she knew the equally good and bad measures humans might use such discoveries on, and <i>that </i>frightened her more than the hope of being able to actually find comfort in urban establishments.<br>
<br>
Then Chandra spoke about how monsters view their love in this world. Shion was unsure how to answer that. She closed her eyes, weeding through her thoughts as she thought back to her home and the people she had fought alongside. Did she really want to return to her old self and allow her mind to accept all prejudices just because it was easier? No...she refused. Otherwise she'd have just walked away from everyone in this hangar, or worse, ran away in fear. What would that have gained her other than potentially making the situation worse for herself and possibly them? The answer was nothing. She shook her head once her resolve was clear.<br>
<div style="text-align: center">​</div><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I don't agree with you, Chandra."</span> She stated calmly to the woman who stood above Shion even if she wasn't holding an unconscious witch in her arms right now. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Maybe you're right about monsters being evil here, I'm not going to doubt your advice on that. But the very notion that their love is so tainted too...I don't know if I can prescribe to that notion. I fought alongside some people in my world that I truly detested, and if the threat didn't face our entire world, we wouldn't have been on the same side. Even in that contempt, I saw glimmers of humanity in them. Something that shone through that vileness within their hearts. A Captain of the Knights from an empire with questionable ethics nearly met his end by my spear on many occasions for trying to consort with the Abyssians multiple times to spare his own hide. And yet, something always came up every time he tried it. He wanted a very specific village exempt from their destruction too. I eventually eavesdropped on one of his later thrashings from his Commander and learned he had a son he would do anything to keep from getting swept up in the chaos......"</span> Shion fell silent for a moment as she closed her eyes, her grip on Scylla tightening briefly before she caught herself before she hurt her, as if her bile for the man was starting to surface. She shook her head and looked at Chandra. She had to be open, she had to be honest, she had to share because if she didn't then it would just leave a rift between them.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Even a man that nearly cost us our lives several times, a man I wanted to skewer with my spear as an example to all the despicable humans what awaited them should they keep stooping to such depths, a sliver of his heart remained."</span> Shion went silent for several moments, she didn't like showing that side of her. The side that resented the humans she'd killed for threatening the forests she called home, the side that wanted to stay in the forests and never leave to try and make happier memories with others, the side that wanted to agree with her kin that humans weren't worth it. She fought it down, her teeth grit as she slowly calmed herself. Eventually, she had the control to speak again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"After all...there was a time when I would've said the same about all humans...so I can't accept that...I can't allow my darkest thoughts to win so easily. I am...sorry you had to see that..."</span> Shion said to everyone present, still calming down as she tried to forget that man again lest she get excessively irrational. Luckily her mind would have a viable (even if a rather unwelcome) distraction momentarily.<br>
<br>
The construct managed to finally get them to move out of the way just in time for some mechanical contraption sending Shion's ears into an existential crisis to swerve near where they had just been. It made her recoil enough that she didn't notice Scylla's sudden awakening and darting behind Chandra. As the two humanoid figures stepped out of the car, Shion looked at both of them and felt...uneasy. She didn't like how readily the woman seemed to appreciate the parts on her form disrupting her natural characteristics, meanwhile the other figure...seemed entirely mechanical. She could hear Scylla make some mildly frightened comments to Chandra before stepping out and boldly trying to establish a rapport between them. She envied the young woman, able to accept such new things so readily she wondered just how much of this world was like this. It did give her some pause for her concern for the spirits she hoped to meet someday, but for now she tried to put that out of her mind as she stood to her feet, folded her arms, and remained silent as her tail randomly moved about as she watched with a keen eye. Suddenly, she could feel the flow of Mana enter her mind, and she could feel this strange new sensation in her eyes. As if through some kind of mystical divination, her eyes began to picture some kind of information being displayed next to the mysterious woman as her eyes attempted to use Appraisal [E] on her. She tried to keep cool and play it off like nothing was happening, but even her eyes were giving off a faint blue glow as she did so, but she didn't know that.<br>
<br>
Appraisal [E] on the mystery woman too far away from her.</div>

Sophia listened to Kalina put herself down, the Fae giving a small shake of her head. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"You deserve it and more, even if you don't think you do."</span> At the statement about destroying things they love, that didn't seem to do a single thing to her personally. She wasn't sure if it was true or the vampire trying to convince the newcomer, but she decided to step in and assist. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"The issue with monsters isn't just that they are evil for the sake of being evil. If you are not a monster, and sometimes even if you are, a monster has it ingrained in them to destroy you. Some very specific ones are special in the way that they can push past that instinct, but that is literally one in a million, and even if you don't want to harm them willy nilly, it's a good idea to avoid them, then. For vampires, they're capable of speech, so I don't want you to get murdered because you believe you can fix them."</span> She hoped she didn't hurt her friend's feelings, but she had a nagging feeling that if this lady went out into the world with this way of thinking, she would get tricked and backstabbed by some particularly cunning monster. She glanced apologetically at Kalina before turning to view the newcomers.<br>
<br>
Her eyes moved from her witchy friend leaping to speak with the two steampunk-esque characters to the lady who seemed to be examining every inch of her with her eyes, a small frown passing over her face. Something about that definitely put her on edge... As she walked forwards, moving closer towards the lady, her eyes weakly flashed white as she began to appraise the lady, trying to figure out what her deal was, but even before she started, the crafter was already guessing her own was too low to be able to tell anything, like with when she appraised the noble woman. "Excuse me, miss. May we help you?" Her head tilted to the side as she got a closer look at the two of them, her eyes falling to the lady's arm. <span style="color: #a38f84">"Cool prosthetic, though if you want I could design one that's a bit closer to human. I could even enchant it for you, if you'd be willing to pay. The last person I made one for told me that it felt like he never lost his. Of course, that's assuming you would prefer that type of arm." </span>Her eyes went back to the lady's face, the artisan letting her interest show while she kept attempting to find out more about the lady.

Following the clicking construct, Cayde couldn't help but overhear Sophia's conversation with Shion. Nothing she said was incorrect. Most monsters were backstabbing, selfish, untrustworthy fiends. But there were exceptions. Kalina wasn't like that. Malerie wasn't either. Kalina had been too selfless in those marshes, Malerie too considerate in Vegard. And both <i>trusted</i> him. Those weren't the qualities of a <i>monster</i>. They had to be something else entirely. <br>
<br>
It still didn't make sense, Cayde thought as he peeked at Kalina from the corner of his eye. <i>Why</i> was she like this? <i>What</i> made her so friendly? It would've been so much easier to just kill him, never let him interfere with her undeath. So why hadn't she done it? Maybe Sophia was right. Maybe she <i>was</i> one of the one-in-a-million chances of a "good" monster, and he'd got lucky twice. Or maybe her friendship was a ruse, some charade to make him feel special, so she could exploit him later? Or perhaps it was one of old him's thoughts. That a caring, funny <i>human</i> was beneath all that undead skin. <br>
<br>
Probably wishful thinking, he told himself. That optimism wouldn't help with getting over anything. But it felt good to think about it. Reminded him of the good times. Back with Ceylan and Kesh. Back when everything didn't seem so bad. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yeah, I doubt you'll find a monster worth sympathizing for, Shion," </span></b>He said, giving her a slow nod,<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> <b>"But... in the odd chance you <i>do </i>find one, I bet it'll change your life." </b></span><br>
<br>
Now, Cayde noticed the large, rumbling contraption slowing ahead of him. Must've been the baron, he thought, trying to peer through the steam. Sure looked like something a noble construct would pull up in. Cayde watched as two figures emerged from the vehicle, eyes narrowing as they came into view. Scylla was right. Neither of them looked friendly. Especially the woman with the metallic arm. That gaze of hers was unsettling. Made him feel like a bug under a magnifying glass. Just what was <i>she</i> looking for? <br>
<br>
Cayde let the thought drift into the back of his mind. It didn't matter how creepy they looked. Or how quiet they were. They still deserved a good first impression. <i>Old</i> him wasn't bad at that. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Good morning! Have you two been sent by the baron?"</span> </b>He said, taking a few steps closer, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We're here regarding the problem with the vampire. Said you could use a few more hands, yeah?</span>" </b>He gestured to each party member, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"These are my comrades Chandra, Sophia, Shion, Iberis, and Scylla. And I'm Cayde. A pleasure to meet you!" </span></b></div>

 </b>​</div>Iberis felt quite pleased to be reaffirmed Scylla that she had said the right thing then and there. Giving her a smile. Even more so when she said that they did have one another. Iberis really didn't want to see Scylla go yet again, the longer she was able to stay by her side the better off they'd all be, Iberis thought to herself. "I'm..really happy you agree Scylla."  She said sounding a bit more content now and at ease, the grip lessening on her staff some. Before being a bit alarmed by Scylla's fainting, even if it didn't seem she was harmed.<br>
<br>
Her focus then shifted when Shion spoke to her and she lit up a bit once more, giving her a smile.<br>
<br>
"Oh, uh yeah, there's still a great deal of wilderness in this world actually! One place you might like to check out is the See, they have very striking nature I've heard, or  another option would be some of the more outer areas of the suburbs of Ryke, some of those small towns probably have what you're looking for, just thought I should let you know that not everyone is necessarily going to be as friendly if they hear you're from another world, people aren't always comfortable with what's different."<br>
<br>
She figured she should try to get the message to Shion before she ventured too far off assuming a uniform non-hostile reaction, since she figured it would only be to Shion's benefit that she should probably be selective with those who she told. She replied to the best of her ability.<br>
<br>
 She had also passively listened to the discourse about monsters and other topics with interest, they were certainly debates to be had, but she didn't much feel like throwing her hat in the ring on the issues so to speak.<br>
---<br>
Truthfully Iberis thought constructs were quite neat assuming that they weren't trying  to give you trouble, so she found this one ot be equally interesting as she took in the details, wishing she could understand the language which it was speaking. For now she looked back trying to not do anything htat could upset the machine. When she heard 'Chandra' reaffirm the thoughts of Cayde and the idea that Iberis latched onto as a possibility that was as good as any, Iberis moved out the way of the group, unknowing that's why the constructs were trying to warn them since they didn't want them. She was glad to see that Scylla was back up again.<br>
<br>
Iberis was equally surprised when the machine came traveling through carrying even more unique looking figures,  feeling her heart race, as she gripped her staff yet again turning around quickly to face it not long after the construct expressed it was pleased that they had moved, even if she didn't  understand it. Iberis's immediate thought on seeing the vehicle and the people who got out was  what sort of knowledge they held. She also found herself watch the constructs work on the car like vehicle as if they were on a clockwork schedule, it was all very impressive to her.<br>
<br>
Once again much like Scylla Iberis had seen many unique bodies in the undead in her time in that world so she felt less creeped out and even more intrigued, taking an equal look back at the pair. She heard Cayde's introduction of the group which she appreciated as it was to the point. She gave the pair a bit of a small wave.  Hearing Sophia mention her ability with prosthetics only made Iberis think about the strange condition that had befallen her leg.  But that wasn't terribly important to think about right now unless it became an issue, she had to focus.<br>
<br>
"Right, looking forward to help in whatever way I can." before attempting to  give  a small bow of respect  uncertain of who they were but if they were able to ride in something like that they must have been wealthy and by extension important somehow.</div>

Scylla's words, regarding what happened with Renee, provided some relief. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You're already helping a lot by being here.”</b></span> She replied, although upon the next statement, she raised an eyebrow. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“In your book..? You'll have to get back to me on that.”</b></span> She questioned, having no clue what Scylla was on about. However, she'd have to get her answer later, as this morning's events kept following up on each-other at a rapid pace. It was tough not to laugh at Scylla's reaction to the sudden attention she'd drawn towards herself, as the girl was being pretty fun to play around with. However, her current persona wouldn't feel as unrestricted in doing so as her actual self would, so she forced herself to hold back. Still, it felt like such a waste. <br>
<br>
Another waste was how her plans regarding Shion were backfiring. You see, her plan had been simple. She just wanted to test Shion a little and estimate the likelihood of being stabbed in the back by Shion the moment the latter found out about Kalina's true nature. It's why she'd been pressing the [monster] part to get to the truth of how aggressive Shion was likely to be towards her and/or if she was a little more open-minded. That part had been a flawless success. After all, Shion openly disagreed. Despite coming to a new world where she knew next to nothing, she wasn't accepting such information, which meant she was the type to want to see the best in others, which in turn meant a back-stab was less likely.<br>
<br>
That would've been enough, but Shion made it into an entire argument. Technically, she mixed up cause and causation. Having such corrupted love was what made you a monster, not the other way around. Kalina, were she to give in to her nature, knew that she'd be killing everyone here with pleasure, not due to wanting to murder them, but due to loving them. Wait... she just admitted it, did she? The thing she was scared off doing. Not only that, she even directly acknowledged the ugliness that her monster side awoke as the result of such feelings. She gritted her teeth. <i>Get out of your head, this isn't the time to be overthinking things.</i> She told herself, as she listened to the words that got her plan backfiring, coming from the voices of her friends.<br>
<br>
For one, Sophia was backing her up. Whilst that was normally appreciated and whilst it would certainly ensure that Shion wasn't going to make mistakes in targetting their real enemy, it might also make her more likely to attack Kalina herself. Although she was hopefully considered the one in a million by Sophia (assuming the Fae's masochistic streaks didn't run deep enough to consider otherwise), she did almost flinch at the mention of being tricked by vampires. That bit could really come back to hurt her in the long run. <br>
<br>
Trying to play it off, she'd instead react to Sophia's former statement. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I-I don't even know what... I did to earn it.”</b></span> About half of that was the Chandra act, the other half was genuine curiosity. Besides, she figured she'd push the issue a little more. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm not even the... faith..full.. type.”</b></span> After all, she'd gotten her fix of blood from many other people, despite Sophia going as far as trying to alter herself to be a supplier. The worst part, perhaps something monstrous within Kalina, wanted to continue doing that even if she wouldn't be forced to rely on others. Such a desire to have a diverse diet was surely unfaithful, right? Not that she would explain that way of thinking to anyone. They were free to reach their own conclusions.<br>
<br>
Cayde's words were even more peculiar. Finding a monster worth sympathizing with, changing your life? Was he talking about their meeting? Had she really made such a big impact on him? She doubted it. She badly wished to question him, but alas, she couldn't. She had appearances to keep up. Even if she could pretend to just be curious, she doubted Chandra was open enough to do so. She was 'shy' right now, after all, and she'd already been pushing some of those limits.  <br>

The woman, after staring at them, found the favour to be returned. First of all by Scylla, who approached the two of them closely enough to appraise (E) them. She'd realise that both of them were beyond the full scope of her ability to read others, but even so, a few things were revealed. For one, the woman was [Blood-lusted] yet also had a [Servant] title. Stat-wise, her intelligence was measurable by Scylla's appraisal (E-grade), although none of the other stats were. Thanks to the woman's higher character-grade, none of her skills showed up. However, one of the things she was wearing did show up. In particular, [Maid's Battle Dress E] showed up. <br>
<br>
Considering Shion wasn't closing in, her Appraisal failed to provide any information.<br>
<br>
Sophia's appraise (D) attempt revealed the same as Scylla's, plus some additional titles. Namely [Forgiven Murderer], [Forgiven Abuser] and [Forgiven Vandal]. She too, however, wasn't able to see the full extend of the woman's titles. She did see one more stat, namely precision D. Thanks to her artisan background, she also managed to make more sense of the woman's items, despite them being of a higher grade than her appraisal. All of the items not seen before were B-grade. The left forearm and hand were just [Mechanical Forearm and Hand], the same applied to both kneecaps with [Mechanical Knee] showing up for both of them. However, the far more dangerous looking right arm was showing up as [Combat Arm] and seemed to include a build-in item called [Venom Container], although that was the extend at which she was able to analyse it. Lastly, an item called [Respiratory Mask] was engrained onto her face. None of these items were Mithril or Enchanted, but they did seem to have some tricks to them. In the end, these [Tinkerer]-based items were among the few that the master artisan Fae hadn't yet mastered making of her own.<br>
<br>
Before the woman replied to any of them, a clicking sound could be heard from behind the mask. <br>

The attempts at appraising the construct had only resulted in two things. The name [Fromm] and the title [Baron]. However, the failure to see more of him wasn't necessarily the result of a higher character grade, but rather it seemed to stem from the person having some sort of ability to disturb attempts at appraisal used on him. Whilst such things weren't uncommon in places like the See, where Fae were continuously trying to trick others and see through tricks used on them, it was a bit more rare for a Construct in Widersia to have such a feature.<br>
<br>
After the clicking noises made by the woman, he remained silent for a bit, carefully observing the others. Once he ensured himself that they had no clue what was being said, he finally replied. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #DC143C">01000001 01100111 01110010 01100101 01100101 01100100 00101100 00100000 01111001 01100101 01110100 00100000 01110111 01100101 00100000 01100011 01100001 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01110000 01101001 01100011 01101011 01111001 00101110 00100000 01010111 01100101 00100000 01110000 01110010 01101111 01100011 01100101 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110101 01110011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01101101 00101110</span><br>
<br>
After a bit of silence, the woman replied. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #DCDCDC">01010000 01100101 01110010 01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01101011 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101111 01101110 01100101 00100000 01101001 01100110 00100000 01101110 01100101 01100101 01100100 01100101 01100100 00111111</span><br>
<br>
Another long pause. Then the baron 'clicked' his reply.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #DC143C">01000111 01110010 01100001 01101110 01110100 01100101 01100100 00101100 00100000 01100010 01110101 01110100 00100000 01101111 01101110 01101100 01111001 00100000 01100001 01110011 00100000 01100001 00100000 01101100 01100001 01110011 01110100 00100000 01110010 01100101 01110011 01101111 01110010 01110100 00101110</span><br>
<br>
Finally, one of them spoke up in a language they could all speak. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“My apologies for the late introduction, the gears needed some additional spinning.”</b></span> He stated, using a construct proverb that might be lost on most of them. He turned towards Cayde.  <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“One might say I'm sent by the Baron, perhaps, for I am the Baron.”</b></span> He replied, a metallic voice coming from a speaker that would normally be someone's mouth. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“Your acquaintanceship is mutually agreeable.”</b></span> He replied to Cayde's introduction, whatever that was supposed to mean, before looking back at him. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“I take it you are designated as this group's leader, then? If not, please tell me who is.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He then turned towards Scylla. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“These constructs are mine, yes.”</b></span> He stated, continuing after a short pause. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“They are merely designed for maintenance tasks, so I cannot have you enlist their services.”</b></span> He concluded, likely after incorrectly assuming some things about her question.<br>

The woman's head turned towards Sophia upon the mention of prosthetics. With her eyes being as hazy as they were and her mouth covered by a mask, there was little to no emotion visible on her features. Her somewhat metallic voice (perhaps due to the mask) didn't suggest a particular emotion either. <span style="color: #DCDCDC"><b>“It does what it needs to do.”</b></span> Was all she said, seemingly trying to brush it off.

After a bit, the Baron spoke up again. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“Well then, now that we are all acquainted, let us not waste time.”</b></span> He looked around again, eyes scanning each member of the group once more. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“I'm assuming you're all up-to-date with the task at hand, but should there be any last-moment questions, now would be the time to ask them. My latest information is that the Vampire Hunters I hired are on standby in The Rusted Booze, whilst Sverre, one of the local law-officers on the case, is still missing. We found the corpses of the assassins we hired, all of their bodies are accounted for, so they are out of the picture. One of my informants, Chima, claims to have new information, but was unwilling to deliver it. A meeting can be arranged at Railworker's Crossing. That concludes all the latest news.”</b></span> He stated in order, as if mechanically rolling through a script. Despite somehow managing to become a Baron, this man was still very much a [Construct] in both appearance and thought process.</div>

Sophia smiled at Kalina. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"You've been my friend forever. You have supported me whenever I've needed it, and even when I make a fool of myself, you don't close yourself off, and I can trust I can talk things out. Even with..."</span> She paused, before saying, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Well, nevermind that. To be honest, you're one of, if not the only person I can truly say I'm close to in this world. So I'll always be faithful to you, no matter what~"</span> She smiled before focusing once more on the task at hand.<br>
<br>
She couldn't help but let a frown cross her face as she noted the criminal titles. Forgiven... that could be better. It might mean that even if she didn't go through the work to apologize for her actions, the baron had pardoned them for her, possibly in return for something. To be honest, after seeing those, she couldn't help but not wish to sell to her, and was grateful she wouldn't have to go back on her word to upgrade them. When complimented, she replied with a simple, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Thank you,"</span> before deciding it might be a good idea to at least go a bit more in depth on both of the two in front of her, as well as what equipment they had on them. Her eyes, while previously only having the irises dully shining to show her using her appraisal skill, now had her pupils turning white as she used [Expert Craftswoman - B Rank] to appraise their crafted items at a higher skill level than her basic appraisal could hope to do.​</div></div>

Hearing the woman and the Baron click back and forth did put Iberis slightly on edge only in that they could quite literally be saying any number of things which were less than ideal. All she could really do was assume that "Chandra' had gotten them involved in something which was going to go through properly. When the clicking back and forth concluded, Iberis had a bit of a bashful smile on her face in response to the construct proverb which  even though he was speaking presumably in common truthfully she didn't even really know what that had meant. Either way that prolonged conversation made it feel like they were keeping something from the rest of the group of potential interest.<br>
<br>
She almost felt like replying to him that it was fine but decided against it, the construct seemed like a pretty serious and business orientated guy, perhaps better keep dialogue to more on task things until she got to know this pair better, she thought to herself. So Cayde's assumption hadn't been completely off, it was as good a guess as Iberis had which was why she had agreed, this WAS the Baron. To think there were places in the realm where constructs could take positions like that, must have meant that he knew what he was doing.<br>
<br>
The witchy youth was a bit surprised when she heard when he responded to Scylla, perhaps he thought that she wanted to hire their them for their services.  She supposed she could understand why he might get that impression, even if the assumption wasn't accurate as far as Iberis knew.<br>
<br>
It was a bit refreshing for Iberis to hear the woman say something that could have perhaps been interpreted as being semi friendly, but she wasn't entirely sure what the intention behind the words were if it was meant to be passive aggressive, genuine or what.<br>
<br>
That slight optimistic feeling didn't last all too long however when she heard Fromm mention that all the assassins had been killed, and that there was more information to come. Iberis wasn't about to speak on the who was their leader, her first instinct was to say Chandra, but she refrained   since it hadn't been clear to her on the onset if that's what 'Chandra' wanted, she was undercover after all. So she stayed quiet on that. But when she heard questions she figured she should ask now.<br>
<br>
"..Yes actually Baron, I do have two questions actually. First Iberis turned toward the woman, "If you don't mind me asking what is your name?" She inquired, still not having used any form of appraisal like many of the others had, perhaps she hadn't done it because she was unsure if they'd be able to tell and not be the most pleased, or she was so caught up in the moment it hadn't crossed the youth's mind, either way.<br>
<br>
She then turned back to the Baron. "I'd also like to ask, do we have any information on what the cause of death for these assassins were as in the method used? or I guess more accurately, is there any sign of what this vampire is using against who they deem as hostile?" More so Iberis thought it would be useful to know if they were primarily using phyiscal attacks, magic or some combination there of so they'd know better what they were going to potentially run into.</div>

Her brow raised slightly, had he found such a case? Was said case amongst her right now? There was no use speculating for the moment and she smiled with a nod to affirm she heard him as her eyes drifted back to the two newcomers. She kept her distance, not wanting to engage unless she had to. They both gave her a bad feeling, and that was more because of the mechanicals parts on them than anything else.<br>
<br>
Then the young Iberis came to her rescue for a moment with her comment about areas in this world that possessed more nature. She smiled wider than she had with Cayde, her tail even wagging at the prospect. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'd love to see these places when we're done. I...don't do so well in places like this. And you don't have to worry, I'm very familiar with the nature of hu...of others. I'll be more careful with revealing that in the future now that I won't be literally falling into the world in front of anyone again...I hope."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Her head snapped back to the two as they began speaking back and forth in this same binary speech that construct had. Her arms slowly unfolded, one hand held open as if she'd try using magic should something happen. While no hostilities were delivered, instead the Baron introduced himself to everyone. Shion's eyes twitched slightly as she stopped and gathered herself. <i>These things can learn to talk like people too? Just what are they? I...I've never been so unsettled by pieces of metal in my life...</i><br>
<br>
She tried to relax, she really did, but she was finding it difficult. She looked at one of her hands for a moment and found herself shaking. She closed a fist and decided letting this fear of the unknown control her wasn't the right thing to do. She took a few steps forward to get closer to the group before she just folded her arms and listened to all the questions and statements being thrown around. She had no knowledge of this job other than hunting a vampire, and she decided to take Iberis' advice immediately. Opening her mouth to ask questions here might give her unwanted questions, something she decided she wasn't equipped to deal with either given her lack of magical prowess. Actually, something did come to mind while she waited.<br>
<br>
She looked over to Scylla. Despite calling them "not friendly looking," she was still boldly going to greet them herself, and couldn't help but respect her courage. She wanted to make sure she was alright just the same. She approached her while the others tried getting some information and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Scylla, you're not hurt are you? I hope I caught you in time. You fainted rather suddenly back there."</span></div>

<br>
“Mhm, my book!” She replied happily with a nod putting her hands in her pack holding the codex but then stopped in her tracks when the vampire declined and requested. “Oh! Of course! As you wish! As I said, we have some catching up to do.”<br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
Scylla would gasp as she feigned her dramatic fall. Little did she know that before hitting the ground she would be caught. She opened her eyes as a familiar sight would stare back at her. “Oh dear..” she’d exclaim, she couldn’t blush any deeper but looked away. “..mhm, yes of course, thanks to you i didn't get my dress dirty.." She smiled briefly before continuing, "Look at you. I suppose you’re no longer a stranger.” She said hesitantly before replying, feeling the sudden squeeze she'd change the topic, “Nngh! Oh yes, pastries and tea for everyone as soon as we’re done here.” She smiled brightly. Her blush fading before getting up from Shions hold. The witch would pat her on the shoulder. “Thanks for the catch!” She chuckled before skipping off towards the newcomers shortly after.<br>
<br>
Scylla would observe the mechanical woman a bit. Sort of curiously eyeing her up and down. She certainly didn’t seem like the friendly type, in fact she was a bit menacing to the bubbly witch. She wouldn’t comment on anything regarding her titles, whoever she was it seemed she’d been through a lot, and certainly made some very difficult decisions (or easy) when it came to certain ‘relations’.<br>
<br>
She’d double back and approach the party, “alright! Let’s get one thing straight, I’m hereby volunteering to lead this investigation!” She closed her eyes proudly pointing at herself with her thumbs. “If there are any objections, then..” she made a fist as her pupils turned to flames. “..fight me to the death coward!” She was obviously kidding about the last part. “No but really, who is going to speak for us as a whole? There’s.. kind of alot of us.”<br>
<br>
There was something a bit disturbing about the woman marking clicky sounds, they were both communicating on a whole different ‘chat window’ and she couldn’t help but wonder that was about, her eyes squinted at the woman then the droid mayor. It was totally suspicious! But Scylla expression would reset upon hearing the droids words in ‘common’.<br>
<br>
The witch would pull out a monocle out of her robes as he spoke fogging it up with her breath before rubbing the glass with her signature pink and purple silky cloth. The glass device would miraculously stick to her eye as she looked at the ‘mayor’ over. She wanted to be as absolutely detailed as possible on this detective mission. However she wondered how patient the others would be, “I suppose we should examine the bodies first. Seems like the most obvious place to start. Perhaps they left some unintentional clues.” She crossed her arms as she brought her index finger around her chin. “Mhm, also, when and where was Sverre last seen?” Further more she would keep the droids attention on her, moving her face to keep his gaze on her, perhaps it was a little annoying but she wanted to test the mayors temper or even the woman’s. “And, and, and..” she stuttered, “..this Chima, where can I find this person?”<br>
<br>
She chuckled, before a curiosity peaked her interest, “One last thing! Is there a fleshy face behind that mask?” Her eyes suddenly widened. “Whoops! Did that slip out?” She pulled her hat over her eyes embarrassingly, “I’ve just never seen anything like you! I’m curious!”</div>

Cayde listened carefully as the two figures spoke between each other. More of that clicky "binary" speech. He wondered what they were saying. Probably judging them, he thought. Maybe the first impression hadn't gone so well. He'd have to apologize. But before he could find the words, he heard Fromme finally address them all in Common. He felt his hair stand on end at the mention of <i>leader</i>. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh, um, we haven't exactly chosen our <i>leader</i> yet,"</span> </b>He glanced back at his party, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I</span> <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">guess we should be getting to that..." </span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde felt his mouth go dry. He hoped his voice didn't sound too flippant. Or too willing. After all, it would've been far better if someone else had taken the role. He wasn't cut out for it. His "leadership" only led to people getting hurt. It only led to confusion, just like it had in those marshes. His eyes flicked to Scylla and Kalina. They'd remembered it, he was sure. They probably remembered him losing Kesh because of his incompetence, too. How could they see him as a <i>leader</i> anymore? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Erm, we-we'll have a little vote between us, yeah?" </span></b>Cayde said, nodding quickly, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Shouldn't be much of an issue. We'll have one in no time." </b></span><br>
<br>
A small sigh of relief escaped him as the topic was brought back to the vampire. He heard Scylla and Iberis pose their questions first, a look of surprise forming under his mask, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look at you two, asking all the important questions,"</span> </b>Cayde said with a slight chuckle, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Never knew the academy taught detectives, too."</span> </b>He gave both an approving nod. It felt good to know Scylla was still quick on her feet, and Iberis was just as critical. Would make good candidates, he thought. More attention to draw away from himself. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'd also like to see where you found the bodies," </b></span>Cayde added, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Could help us find out if they'd marched onto our vampire's stomping grounds. Or, if they found something of interest," </span></b><br>
<br>
Then, Cayde heard Scylla's question to the woman. His eyes widened. Did she <i>hear</i> how that lady spoke? Didn't seem like one to enjoy small talk. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"UH! She means that r<i>espectfully,</i> of course," </b></span>He cleared his throat, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's just we've never seen someone with so many augments before. Never knew that type of technology existed," </b></span></div>

'Chandra' was glad to be shy, as Kalina needed a moment to fall back and let Sophia's words sink in. She still didn't know what in the world she'd done to get Sophia to openly say such things, but she was exceptionally grateful for them. However, it also made her panic. Just how much of that confession would be shattered when Sophia learned that Kalina had given in to her monstrous nature and bitten someone that didn't consent to it? That she'd attacked Hope, who was only trying to help her? Even though Hope had forgiven her, that didn't mean Sophia would do the same, as there had been an implicit promise between the two of them that Kalina would forever manage to fight her instincts (or so she believed there to be). She wondered how she could even work up the courage to confess that sin, after Sophia saying all that.<br>
<br>
She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Scylla proclaim she'd lead the investigation. Now, there were many things that Kalina loved about Scylla. Her cheerful, bubbly personality, the fact she hadn't lost any of that through-out all the trauma they'd been through, the fact that she felt like Scylla was someone that was reliable when and where it mattered, her ability to lighten the mood for everyone, heck even her colour of choice in attire was lovely, however... Scylla's leadership qualities were definitely not on that list. In anything, her eyes went over to Cayde's direction at the mention of a leader. Oddly enough, he didn't just take the position, even though she believed he'd be the best suited at it. Then again, he had been acting a little different? She wasn't sure.<br>
<br>
Either way, she'd just throw in her two cents. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I... I think C-cayde, should do... it. After getting us through those marshes...”</b></span> That was probably as much as 'Chandra' would add, even though Kalina would've preferred pointing out a bit more qualities that made Cayde the right option. Then again, <span style="color: #778899"><b>”although... if he.. doesn't want to, then... S-scylla would be good t-too.”</b></span> She didn't want to throw the bubblegum witch out altogether, as by process of elimination with Shion and Sophia being relatively unknown to others, her wanting to stay on the background and Iberis being young, all that remained was Scylla.<br>
<br>
With that said, she decided to try falling back to the background once more. The only other thing that caught her eyes was Shion's wagging tail. Seeing such a thing on a person was odd, but also surprisingly cute. It made her wonder if the girl would be able to keep her emotions hidden if one of her limbs was that honest about them. Then again, she tried not to make her mind wonder about it for too long, lest she be caught staring and would have some explaining to do.<br>

Sophia trying to focus even more on the equipment warranted a few things from the woman. The [Mechanical Knee] in each leg seemed to come equipped with springs for [Jumping]. The [Combat Arm] and included [Venom Container] seemed to be linked in a way that'd allow for venomous attacks with it. The latter had likely been used a fair few times already, as there was some wear and tear on it. The [Mechanical Forearm and Hand] however, were fairly new and didn't seem to do much beyond what a normal hand would, at least not something one could guess from looking at it (even with skills). Finally, the [Respiratory Mask] seemed to make the woman breath in something that wasn't just air or oxygen, but whatever it was was beyond Sophia's knowledge. The baron, meanwhile, still gave nothing more than a name and status. She'd need to get up close and personal with him, possibly try to deconstruct him, in case to learn more about him through her craftsmanship alone.<br>
<br>
When Iberis asked her for a name, she was silent for a bit. She looked at Iberis, then clicked something.<br>

The baron, now also looking at Iberis, ended up replying.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #DC143C">01001001 01110011 00100000 01110011 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110011 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110011 01100101 01100101 01101101 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100010 01100101 00111111</span><br>
<br>
The woman's glassy eyes were now fully upon Iberis, as if trying to pry into her very soul. After a solid stare-down, however, she clicked a longer response back to the baron.<br>
<br>

<br>
The baron's eyes, or rather the odd beady lens things that served as eyes, zoomed in on Iberis as well, before zooming out again. He replied in clicking once more.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #DC143C">01010000 01100101 01110010 01101000 01100001 01110000 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101101 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01101101 00100000 01110011 01110101 01100011 01100011 01100101 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101111 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01110011 00100000 01100110 01100001 01101001 01101100 01100101 01100100 00101110 00100000 01010111 01100101 00100111 01101100 01101100 00100000 01100001 01101100 01101100 01101111 01110111 00100000 01101001 01110100 00101110</span><br>
<br>
The woman finally turned toward Iberis to speak in a language they could all comprehend. <span style="color: #DCDCDC"><b>“Sorry about that, just some business talk. I'm Morana.”</b></span> She replied, the voice from behind the mask once more revealing little to no emotion or intonation. <br>
<br>
The baron himself decided to answer the second question. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“They were found mutilated beyond recognition. We needed a specialist to ensure that all of them were accounted for in their entirety. Our specialist was not able to find a cause of death, but could exclude poisoning or burning. The informant might've found out more by now through other avenues.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Now, Scylla managed to quickly achieve the impossible. You'd think that the woman's glazed over eyes and the baron's bead-like camera-eyes wouldn't be able to display any emotions whatsoever... yet when she volunteered for becoming the leader and issued a challenge, the more attentive folk could almost swear they saw a moment of scepticism on both their features. Perhaps that was just a figment of their imagination though, as clearly these two didn't have the ability to display them, right? Unless Scylla's sudden declaration had managed to bent the laws of physics.<br>
<br>
Either way, the baron (who was most definitely not a mayor), answered her question. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“I would allow you to examine them in the morgue, but my own specialist was already unable to discern much from them.”</b></span> He replied, with regards to the bodies. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“The informant knows better where he might be.”</b></span> He stated regarding Sverre. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“As for her location, I already stated. A meeting with her can be arranged at Railworker's Crossing.”</b></span> Even though his mechanised voice didn't leave much room for emotion, it was safe to assume he didn't like repeating himself. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“Once you decide on a leader, I will put Morana under their command. She'll be able to guide you through the city to the specific locations.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He'd barely stated those words, before being given a reason to regret them. (Considering it's unclear if she turned towards Morana again or is still talking to be baron, I'll assume she's still addressing the baron as she did previously.) <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“I am fully inorganic.”</b></span> He replied, although folk could almost swear that the short and abrupt way in which he did so was a sign of annoyance. <br>
<br>
He turned to Cayde, who tried to smooth-talk the statement. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“Your actions imply that you are, indeed, the leader. Very well.”</b></span> He clearly wasn't going to put his servant under Scylla's command after the previous comment. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“She'll be fully at your disposal. For as long as your commands don't go against the interest of this mission or the interests of Clockhaven and Widersia, she is to obey them.”</b></span> The latter was also addressed to the woman herself, it seemed, although she didn't react much to it. This likely wasn't the first time something like this occurred. <br>
<br>
She did, however, click something to the baron. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #DCDCDC">01001001 00100000 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110000 01100101 01110010 01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01101011 01101001 01101100 01101100 00101100 00100000 01110011 01101000 01101111 01110101 01101100 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01111001 00100000 01100111 01101111 00100000 01100001 01100111 01100001 01101001 01101110 01110011 01110100 00100000 01110101 01110011 00101100 00100000 01100011 01101111 01110010 01110010 01100101 01100011 01110100 00111111</span><br>
<br>
Once more, the baron clicked back.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #DC143C">01001111 01101110 01101100 01111001 00100000 01101001 01100110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100111 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100101 01101110 01110100 01101001 01110010 01100101 01101100 01111001 00100000 01110011 01110101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01101001 01110100 00101110</span><br>
<br>
As for Cayde's actual questions, he replied in common. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“Their remains were left in bags at Droid's Row, likely as an attempt to warn or intimidate. It was cleaned up quickly to avoid public unrest.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As he finished, he looked at the clock on the wall. <span style="color: #DC143C"><b>“I am afraid my time has ran out here. As difficult as this matter is, there are other matters I must attend to. I must leave, please utilise Morana's services for lingering questions or requests.”</b></span> As he said it, another display of 'putting the Clock in Clockhaven' was put on sight. At exactly 9:45, the robots had finished repairing the car and drove it onto a platform to load it onto the airship. The baron himself would enter it as well, leaving the rest behind. At exactly 9:50, the airship was starting to rise up, flying off and being out of sight by the time the clock would hit 10:00.<br>

With the baron leaving, the woman turned towards Cayde, then made a curtsy bow. <span style="color: #DCDCDC"><b>“I'll be at your service, sir.”</b></span> She stated, although even with her mask making her voice sound relatively emotionless, it was as if there was an edge of something eager and nefarious in there for some reason. <br>

Kalina, a little confused, looked from Cayde to Scylla and back again. This question was in character enough to ask, at the very least. <span style="color: #778899"><b> “So.. ehm.. which one of you is our.. leader?”</b></span></div>

Sophia's eyes flashed with no little bit of annoyance as she felt like they were being left out of the conversation on purpose. Whatever it was, it was something that the two of them didn't want the group to hear. And whatever it was, she didn't like it. They could have waited until after, but when they tried to make the excuse that it was just business talk, that made her even more suspicious.<br>
<br>
Then there was what she learned from the appraisal. The poison was really disconcerting, and that with the jump might mean she was more of an assassin than a forward fighter, but that also didn't mean that she wasn't able to take people head on. Her mind was brought back to the "Forgiven Murderer", with that in addition to the fact that the Venom Container was well used made her really dislike the idea of this lady being with them. But just as unsettling was the mask. The fact that she couldn't place exactly what was entering with the air made an idea slowly form in her mind, a theory that made her decide to keep an eye on this woman.<br>
<br>
Once the Baron had left, she walked over to Kalina, reaching out and gripping her by the hand, her voice barely audible even for the vampire as she said, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I need to talk to you. Privately."</span> And then with a louder voice, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Chandra, could we catch up a bit before we move on? It's been so long, and I've missed you so much~"</span> She gave the vampire a wink, but in those eyes there was also quite the sense of urgency.​</div></div>

A deep sense of dread filled Cayde as he watched the baron make his departure. So that was it. He was <i>technically</i> the leader now. A mistake, he thought. History would only repeat itself. There would only be <i>more</i> things to worry about. <i>More</i> things he couldn't see coming. What'd happen if he didn't know what to do? What would happen then? The thought hung in his mind as he faced the party, his eyes drawing over to Morana. Another responsibility to bear. Another person just <i>waiting</i> to be disappointed. He shuddered. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"T-T-Thank-"</span> </b>Caye paused, cleared his throat, and tried again, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Thank you, Morana. Glad to have you on the team,"</span> </b>He said, trying to infuse any shred of optimism into his voice, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm sure we'll all get along just fine." </span></b><br>
<br>
With that said, Cayde quickly turned his attention to Kalina. Her words felt like a punch to the stomach. Did she not know what she was signing up for, nominating him as the leader? She needed to be convinced otherwise. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, Chandra, I wouldn't give all the credit to me. You and Scylla did loads in those marshes. Way more than I ever could,"</span> </b>He said,<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> <b>"If it wasn't for Scylla's skills, we'd probably be crawling around the city. So I'd say she's just as qualified for leader, if not more." </b></span>He took a few steps back, putting Scylla in the forefront. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Besides, leader or not, what matters most is that we all stay objective - - <i>together. </i>As long as we set our priorities straight, we'll get this done in no time. Just like in the marshes." </span></b>Cayde tried shrugging his shoulders playfully, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Plus, it's Scylla! How could we tell her no?" </b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde felt a bead of sweat run down his face. It felt torturous - this <i>evasiveness</i>. He sounded too much like <i>old</i> him. Wasn't he supposed to be the <b>[Patient] </b>one? None of this should've been happening. Leader or not, <i>someone</i> needed to start things off. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But let's get back to the topic at hand, yeah?"</span> </b>He said, clasping his hands together, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We've got two potential informants, one missing, and the Vampire hunters waiting for us at the tavern. I don't know how long the hunters have been in the city, but Sverre and Chima sound relatively established. I suggest we speak to Chima first. They might have some important evidence on that vampire and Sverre's whereabouts,"</span></b><br>
<br>
He remembered the mayor's statement about the past monster hunters brutally stuffed into bags. It didn't spell well for Sverre. But there was <i>always</i> a chance. <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">And for now, we should prioritize gathering information and finding Sverre. Or at least find out what happened to them. It might lead us to some <i>crucial </i>evidence, too."</span> </b>Cayde explained, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<i>Then, </i>we can focus on finding the vampire. The hunters will help with that."</span> </b>He shifted his gaze to Morana, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Now, Morana, could you please lead us to Railwor-"</span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde realized what he was doing. <i>Leading</i>. That wasn't <i>his</i> job. <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">U-um, one second,"</span> </b>He told Morana, facing the party, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"So... what do you guys think?"</span> </b></div>

At a snap of a finger, Scylla summoned her handy notepad and fountain pen. A <i>poof </i>would suddenly happen as the writing utencils became animated. Writing her thoughts down as she thought them through was immesnely handy, and quite franky were her signature ''detective'' tools. Suddenly it became clear why she was such an ace student at the academy!<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Ew!"</span> She exclaimed at the mention of mutilated bodies. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I suppose that's out of the question."</span> She chuckled nervously. Then at the repeated mention,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Of course you mentioned that! Just.. checking your fuses there sir!"</span> She gave the baron an adorable wink before sticking out her tongue at him. By her estimations, this baron had quite the short fuse.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Well! heh, you're in luck! Because the leader is-!"</span> She replied excitedly, but not before the droid like clockwork baron suddenly turned towards Cayde and stated that 'he' was in fact the leader.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "W-wait what? I thought.."</span> She threw her hands up, accidentally smacking the foundain pen making ink fly everywhere,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..<i>WE</i> were picking the leader! That's not for you to decide!"</span> She crossed her arms suddenly with a pout, grumbling and mumbling as her hat came right above her brow line.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Why, i'd make the bestest best leader in all of Ryke history.."</span> She squinted, a thought suddenly making its way into her psyche,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "..that makes <i>SO</i> much sense!"</span> A light bulb lighting above her head, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You want me to <i>not </i>be the leader because you KNOW i'll be the best leader!"</span><br>
<br>
She calmed down after that realization, what made her hurt however was that this baron appointed Morana to Cayde! Scylla wimpered,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "But why?!"</span><br>
<br>
Her arms still crossed she inched closer and closer to Cayde and Morana who were speaking with one another, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Yeah!"</span> She exclaimed perhaps a bit too loudly,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Great to have you on our team!"</span> She'd hold the womans clawed pinky finger and shake it a bit. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"So.. do you like boys? I mean, what do you do for fun?"</span><br>
<br>
Then Cayde seemed to give her the spotlight, much to her delight she placed her hands on her hips like a super hero, not hesitating to embrace all the attention, fluttering her eyelashes before taking off her hat with a very exaggeratedly proud curtsy bow.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I promise i will not let you down! I assume full responsibility of this mission, and anyone who would embark upon solving this strange mystery!" </span>She giggled then looked at the others,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Yeah! How can you say <i>no </i>to me. Well said sir Cayde. Perhaps you can be my 'second in command' you know? Just in case the unthinkable happens to me!"</span> Muttering under her breath she continued,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Like the underworld dragging me back into its fiery belly all of a sudden."</span><br>
<br>
She'd suddenly get close to Chandra, covering the side of her mouth to keep her words low,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "It's me.. im the real leader. Cayde is the fake leader."</span> She nodded excitedly and gave her a thumbs up. It was then that she also heard Sophia request some 'private' time. her love detector would go crazy. However, more pressing matters were at hand as much as she wanted to coo about it. She'd just turn around and wink as she bit her bottom lip. Oh how she wished for them to be together, it would likely make her entire year!<br>
<br>
Perhaps it all appeared innocent, maybe even annoying on the surface, but this was Scyllas way of keeping this woman a bit confused, well, if it even worked at all!<br>
<br>
Looking towarsd Cayde, she nodded<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">, "Excellent <i>plan</i>, second in<i> command</i>!"<br>
<br>
"Now now, lets get going!"</span> She said, pushing Cayde forward, then looking towards Morana,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Come on, o' fairest lady!"</span></div>

Iberis felt content enough hearing Shion's response that she seemed to understand that not everyone was going to be as friendly as they had been, so Iberis gave her a bit of a smile and a nod, perking up a bit at hearing the start of the hu word, not entirely sure what she was going to say in that moment. Hopefully Shion would get to do just that once this business was all taken care of.<br>
<br>
"Yeah that'd be nice, maybe we could check some out together." Iberis posed, feeling like she'd appreciate it if someone from the new world she just entered into offered to join up and help some.<br>
<br>
<br>
Scylla's  interaction choice was interesting to say the least, while Iberis wasn't sure if that would be the most well received by these constructs, she hoped they'd at least be able to tell that Scylla only meant well in questions like that. Iberis might have wanted to ask the same thing under different conditions.<br>
<br>
---<br>
Hearing Chandra's response was reasonable enough. Iberis would have been fine with either Cayde or Scylla leading, but what she didn't know was that the constructs seemed to be applying their own criteria for what they deemed a suitable or at the very least what struck them as the perimeters for what a leader was. For now she stayed relatively quiet, as she listened to what the others had to say on the topic.<br>
<br>
Of course Iberis was still feeling a sense of uneasiness from the fact that these constructs were once again clicking back and forth, except this time it was slightly exacerbated because it was hard for her not to notice  how the woman looked at her while she clicked. While this occurred Iberis just tried her best to look natural, and only make occasional eye contact. When Morana spoke to her, she gave her as an friendly look as she could muster despite the discomfort she felt. "Oh that's fine, it's nice to meet you Morana." she replied, perhaps looking a tad bashful. Indeed Iberis was definitely starting to feel similar to how Sophia was about the whole situation in the back of her mind.<br>
<br>
She then listened to the Baron respond giving the response, as she gave her focus on him trying to remain respectful of him. She almost grimaced when he said what happened but restrained herself, keeping a serious look. "I see, thank you for your clarification."  That meant that this vampire probably was more than likely using some kind of enhanced phyiscal skills, perhaps with a weapon or with strength, of course it was possible to mutilate  people with magic, but she felt like the more likely scenario was that they were dealing with someone physically powerful., perhaps with some magic involved to enhance their moves, but she doubted it was a mostly caster like she and Scylla were.Of course Iberis  had no way to confirm this.<br>
<br>
It sounded like Cayde was going to be their leader when the Baron put Morana under his command Then there was more clicking back and forth that Iberis couldn't understand that was mildly concerning, and before long the Baron was on his depature. "Oh, Farewell then Baron." Iberis said matter of fact, wanting to be respectful still.<br>
<br>
She then turned to Cayde, and heard out what his plan was apparently, as hesitant as it seemed him to take the role, he definitely was speaking like a leader in Iberis's mind. During his speech he gradually sounded more confident in her mind, of course until the end where he toned the leadery sounding stuff down, why she wasn't sure, she thought he had been doing great!<br>
<br>
Then there was Scylla's contribution, while the appropriateness was debatable, she was quite adorable, Iberis thought to herself while that had transpired, yes it was clear that Scylla was going to assume an important role irrespective. It sounded like Cayde was going to be second in command after all, whether the constructs recognized that or not, iberis found herself giggling a bit at the display.<br>
<br>
"Alrighty then I liked the sound of your thinking Cayde, I also think  we should go see Chima for some possible intrigue." Ready for the group to get going as Scylla and Cayde had suggested to   Morana for her to lead them the way there. She would have found Sophia's request interesting if she could have heard it but she was all close and quiet when she said it and Iberis's attention had been elsewhere so she was unaware.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzzshion1-png.1079414/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1016/1016544-8ba5c84b3f93f210868711428277e9b0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzzShion1.png" title="zzzShion1.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I can't wait, Iberis." </span>Shion said with full enthusiasm and a bit more tail wagging before being reminded where she was the next instant.<br>
<br>
It was ironic that Shion had tried checking on Scylla's wellbeing a moment ago, because Shion wasn't doing so hot herself. Every second Fromm or Morana spoke in binary, every time the Baron said...<i>anything</i>, Shion could feel her body tense up more and more all the way to the Baron's departure. <i>Oh thank the gods of nature he's gone</i>. Shion's entire body felt like it just dropped 100lbs of weight onto the floor once the Baron left. She still wasn't a fan of this Morana's presence, but at the very least she didn't have to listen to that unnatural speech pattern that felt like it was full of secrets and omens to her. Now that she was less stressed, she could finally start paying closer attention to the things being said around her. Informants, vampire hunters, mutilated corpses, that much she had picked up on. Now that her mind was more cognizant though she listened to the civil-even if a tad one sided-debate on whether the leadership should go to Cayde or Scylla.<br>
<br>
Cayde seemed hesitant, and Scylla was fully ready to accept the role. She couldn't help but notice Cayde had a moment of confidence before deferring to everyone else for opinions. He seemed rather confident when offering his protection to her earlier as well, Shion couldn't help but speculate what was hindering him at this point. <i>He feels at odds with himself...I wonder what ails his mind.</i><br>
<br>
Scylla's bold and eccentric attempt to instill everyone in confidence definitely helped Shion's mind relax from the position she was in, and she couldn't help but smile watching her. Delegating Cayde to second in command, but then taking his suggestion immediately anyways couldn't help but get a strong enough chuckle out of her for her shoulders to shudder with temporary loss of control as she could sense just some of the history this group had together. She placed a hand on her hip while the other playfully gestured to Scylla and then Cayde. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"My life is in both your hands, Scylla, Cayde. Don't let me down." </span>Shion's tone was playful, but respectful as she chuckled again at the end of her statement.<br>
<br>
Her ears twitched as she picked up on Sophia and Chandra's words. She didn't want to draw attention to it, seemed like the best thing would be to keep Morana from worrying about whatever it was they were needing to do. It did make her curious though, but her magical prowess at present wouldn't allow her to spy on them even if she wanted to. She instead she'd have to make small talk with...did she really have to? Just looking at Morana put her on edge. <i>Stop all this cowering, Shion, Olivia would scold you for being so judgmental...even if I feel like I'm not looking at husk of a woman.</i><br>
<br>
So she tried asking a simple, hopefully inoffensive question. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If you do not mind me asking, how long have you lived with those alterations? Do you appreciate them?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion knew what she actually wanted to ask. She wanted to ask "do you regret getting them," but she had a feeling those choice of words might create a negative connotation she wanted to keep out of the conversation for now lest her present anxiety get worse.</span></div>

She nodded at Sophia's question to catch up. However, before she could follow the Fae, she was stopped by Cayde. His words confused her. Even in her shy persona, she shook her head. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“N-no.. no.”</b></span> There was something she had to tell him, even if she might need to break character a bit. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“You're the one that was always helping us stick together and managing to get us to cooperate, bringing out the best in us.”</b></span> That was genuinely how she felt about him. Enough to forget to stutter when stating it. Then again, perhaps even a shy persona would know how to speak on what mattered. Either way, it'd be worth it. However, his final statement did allow her to get back into character. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“T-that'd... be d-difficult.. y-yes.”</b></span> She stammered, although giving Scylla a playful wink the moment she could do so without the others looking.<br>
<br>
That statement was backed up by Scylla getting up close to confirm her status. A devious plan formed in her mind when Scylla whispered, as Kalina whispered back. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You can be the leader, but only if you'll let me confirm if someone's blood-sugar levels are taste-able.”</b></span> After all, the question was raised before, after seeing Scylla's considerable talent at scarfing down cake. Perhaps the girl would remember. Either way, as for her 'Chandra' reaction. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“O-of... of course...”</b></span> She stammered, as if she'd just been threatened by Scylla to agree. <br>
<br>
That left Kalina an opportunity to slip away with Sopia. <span style="color: #778899"><b>”Eh... Alright, we can go now... lead the way.”</b></span> She told Sophia, part of it the 'Chandra' act, part of it genuine wonder as to the sudden call-out, but underneath both a hidden relief at having a moment to catch up with Sophia. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“We'll be right back.”</b></span> She ended up apologising to the others.<br>
<br>

	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Although Kalina had an inkling of what Sophia might be talking about, there were some things that made her nervous. For one, the serious undertone. Secondarily, the fact that a private conversation meant she'd feel obliged to confess her sins. She didn't want to hide such a thing for Sophia, despite really not wanting to confess either. <br>
<br>
Sophia nodded, leading Kalina away. Her eyes glanced around for a place where they would be concealed, eventually finding an alley and ducking in, making sure that none of those robots were anywhere near. Once she confirmed the coast was clear, the first thing she did was spin around and hug Kalina as tight as she could. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I missed you."</span> She pressed her face against the vampire, holding onto her for dear life. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I'll make sure to give you as big a meal as you want tonight. I'm sorry I've been away so long... But I'll never leave you while I can help it."</span><br>
<br>
Immediately, Kalina was filled with soul-crushing guilt. How could she not be? <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I...“</b></span> She wasn't in her Chandra disguise right now, but the words were still difficult to utter. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I've got to come clean. I failed. I bit someone that didn't consent, I failed to hold back my instincts. She... she forgave me, but still, I betrayed someone that trusted and tried to help me and then... Then I... I killed Renee...”</b></span> There was far too much emotion and pain to explain it all in a calm and sensible manner, even for someone like the normally collected Kalina. <br>
<br>
Sophia's eyes stung as she heard what Kalina said. But instead of drawing back, she buried her head back into Kalina's chest, her eyes clenching tight as Kalina felt some wetness seep from them. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Kal, I'm so sorry. If I had been around, if I had been there, I'm... I'm not sure if I could have saved your sister... but I'm sure you would have a good reason. But for the biting, I could have helped if I had been around. I'm sure not having someone to give it to you was so hard. But... But I'll make sure you never have to be that hungry again. Hell, I give you permission, if you're ever really hungry, no matter where we are, to take me aside and drink your fill. I'll make sure you never feel that hungry again." </span>She looked up into Kalina's face, her eyes somewhat puffy as tears welled in them. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"No matter what, you're perfect. We were away from each other for so long, and it's obvious you have been a good enough person that even after that, she forgave you, even after she found out you were a monster. Even if you think you failed, doesn't that show that you're still you? A monster who people can trust?"</span><br>
<br>
Honestly, Kalina was baffled. For Sophia to so easily believe that it'd been necessity, rather than desire, without Kalina even having to try to defend herself. Just how much did Sophia trust her? It wasn't fair. Not when she didn't even trust herself as much. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No.”</b></span> She shook her head. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I don't want to need such permissions. I don't want a monstrous part of me looming over me, waiting for its moment to break through and make me hurt my friends again.”</b></span> It was probably best to explain Sophia why she was here to begin with. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Those vampire hunters... A hag I met in the marshes on the dark continent said they know more about my past and might help me do something against being a monster. That's why I'm looking for them. Perhaps they can cure me. I'm far from perfect, I need that [monster] part of me to be buried or removed. If I already fell to it once, what's the say it won't happen again? Even I can't trust myself on it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Sophia stared at her before looking... conflicted. The reason was simple. She wanted Kalina to feel better, but... Vampire hunters being the key didn't seem to sit right with her. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I hope this turns out alright for you, but... they're vampire <i>hunters. </i>I'm not sure if its the safest people to go to for help, especially if they already know that you're a vampire. I guess... I just want you to be careful. And if they try to harm you, I'm going to put a hole in them."</span> She looked at her feet for a moment before saying, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"And if they can't help you, and you think you can't trust yourself, can you trust me? Trust that I'll be there if you do lose control and need blood? Because... I love you. I love you so much that even if you do, I'll get in front of you and make sure nobody gets hurt until you're better."</span><br>
<br>
A wry smile formed on her lips. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I know.”</b></span> She knew what these were. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Yet... the hag's words carried weight. There must be more to it.”</b></span> When Sophia made the offer to jump in, Kalina finally allowed herself to relax ever so slightly, just enough to return the hug. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Thank you...”</b></span> She whispered. Even so, with her next words, she'd regained her voice. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“However, I want you to promise me something else as well. With Renee, I kept believing she was alright, up until the very end, where she tried to kill all of us. I had to end her, but nearly felt like I should've ended my own life along with it. I don't ever want to feel that pain again, but more than that, I don't ever want others to feel that pain as well.”</b></span> She sighed, deeply. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Just like how that book started making Renee go insane for power, if my monstrous nature makes me lose myself, you shouldn't make the same mistake as I did. You shouldn't blindly trust my judgements like how I blindly trusted Renee.”</b></span> She gritted her teeth, the return hug loosening again. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I won't ask of you to be willing to put me down, should I fall, like I did to Renee, but I will ask of you not to interfere with whomever will do so, should it be needed. I'd rather be killed than lose myself as much as Renee did.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Sophia held her tongue about how she was certain there was a difference between the two and instead said, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"If that's what you want. But you know I will do everything in my power to keep that from happening. And there is a difference between what happened with Renee and you."</span> She pulled back and stared up at Kalina once more. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"You understand that the problem is there and you work to avoid it. Renee went in headfirst. That's why I trust you so much, and am willing to do everything I can to help."</span> She giggled. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Well, that and the fact that you're so perfect, I would be a moron not to~"</span><br>
<br>
A ray of hope, like the sun breaking through a clouded sky, managed to make it through into Kalina's thoughts. Perhaps Sophia was right. Perhaps that really was the all-important difference between her and Renee. A genuine smile, one from the real 'Kalina' formed on her lips now.   <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm not perfect you know, I've just got someone absolutely amazing to make up for all my flaws~”</b></span> She teased the bug a little. Out of instinct, she bend down and pressed her lips against the Fae's forehead. Even though she knew her cold body likely wasn't the most pleasant and even though she didn't know exactly why she'd felt compelled to do so, her body had moved ahead of her thoughts and already committed to it. <br>
<br>
Sophia shuddered at the kiss, but instead of looking uncomfortable from the cold lips, instead she had the biggest smile that Kalina had ever seen on her. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I guess we both just bring out the best in each other~ And... I wouldn't mind more of those kisses sometime~"</span> In her mind, even the coldest part of Kalina felt like touching a goddess, so she would never complain.<br>
<br>
After one more quick hug, she decided it was time to get down to business. She breathed in and then out before saying, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Though, making sure the brightest part of my world was alright wasn't the true reason I came here. In reality, it has something to do with the lady who joined us."</span> She breathed in and out before saying, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"She's a murderer, and that large arm of hers has a venom container that's been used quite a bit, and that container seems to put out venom in tandem with attacks. I wasn't able to get much off her outside of that she was a "Forgiven Murderer" and a "Forgiven Abuser" with basic appraisal. I'm pretty sure once you've atoned for a crime, it goes away, but hers changed to forgiven. I might be wrong about that fact, though."</span> She paused before saying, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"And... I'm pretty sure the only type of person who can forgive crimes is a person in power or the person you did the crime against. Possibly a baron. I think... that the Baron is keeping her with us to make sure that if we find out something we shouldn't, we're to be dealt with. That might have been what they were talking in front of us about. Those robots from before might have been a test to see if we understood them, and if we did, then they wouldn't have spoken so openly. Hell, she might be his personal assassin for all we know."</span> She slowly scratched her head. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"But... it gets worse. I think she also might be a vampire. How I came to the conclusion is her mask. It would hide fangs, but just as important, it's pumping something outside of just oxygen into her mouth. I think that the other thing might be blood."</span> She sighed. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I can't be sure of either of those, since they're only theories. But I was able to tell the titles with simple appraisal, and I was able to tell that she had a venom container and that her mask was pumping something other than just oxygen with my knowledge of craftsmanship. I wanted to talk about it with you privately to get your input, especially since you're the one the group knows the best and probably should break this type of news to them."</span><br>
<br>
As per usual, having a small amount of fresh blood in her veins saved Kalina from blushing. The rest of her facial features did showed her to be oddly shy by Sophia's reaction, although a smile crept through that all the brighter.<br>
<br>
When things got more serious, however, she listened to what Sophia told her. Kalina followed along with the first part. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“She definitely seems dangerous and their talking was rather shady for sure...”</b></span> However, the thought of her being a vampire. Kalina wasn't sure about that part. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“The baron would already have many eyes on him for being a construct. If he'd be found out having a vampire in his employ, he'd risk being dismantled. That seems like an awfully high risk for little reward.”</b></span> Still, there was one way to find out, perhaps. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“We could figure out a way check her temperature. No matter how well I disguise myself or use alternate identities, my body temperature will always be a lot lower than that of others, if not outright cold. The same should apply to her, if what you say is true.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Sophia nodded. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"That makes sense, though if he had something shady going on, it might be something that is worth the risk to keep us from a bigger issue. And besides, I keep you in my employ, and I don't really care about the risks~"</span> She paused before stating,<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)"> "I think we should still keep an eye on her, even if she isn't a vampire. She's a prior murderer, and might be totally willing to do it again if we find out things we shouldn't."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“Either that, or he is desperate enough to catch this vampire to use other criminals in order to do so.”</b></span> Kalina deemed that an equally likely option. Either way, she agreed. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Keeping an eye on her, trying to see if she's cold as a corpse if possible and otherwise just being on alert.”</b></span> She repeated. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“We should get back to the others, before they're wondering what we're up too and come looking.”</b></span> She said, trying to come up with an excuse. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“We can openly admit we talked about Renee's death, to cover up for the other topics.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Sophia nodded, turning to head out before spinning around once more, reaching up to grab Kalina's collar. She pulled the vampire's face down to her level before planting a kiss on her cheek. After doing that she let go of the vampire's collar to let her stand back up straight. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"That's repayment for the kiss from before~"</span> With a small wave she turned and started to walk back to the group, doing her best to force down the smile that threatened to break out.</div>

With the baron <s>who still wasn't a mayor, even if Cayde also wanted him to be one</s> having left, Morana suddenly found herself at the centre of attention. For one, by Cayde accepting her service. Her face and voice were still incapable of displaying emotions, but her choice of words heavily suggested some type of enjoyment. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm sure we will, sir.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“They have their home-base in Widersia, but travel abroad for their jobs more often than sticking here. The fact that a vampire entered this place must be rather insulting to them.”</b></span> Morana stated, after hearing Cayde wonder about how established the Vampire Hunters were. She was about to make a bow and state 'of course, sir' upon the request to lead them, when Cayde clawed back on his plan and instead asked the others for their input.<br>
<br>
That's also when she heard Scylla's question. Even with no facial features to speak off, it was clear she was caught off guard, as she remained silent for a good few seconds. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I only like folk I can toy with.”</b></span> Was the answer she eventually gave Scylla, with as little emotion behind it as usual. Oddly enough, she didn't consider replying to the second question. Scylla, brave enough to try shake a clawed finger, would have to be careful not to get her finger cut, as its edges were sharp. Morana seemed to notice as much. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Careful girl, these weren't meant to be shaken or held.”</b></span> However, when Scylla told her to come along, she stood silent and merely looked at Cayde, waiting for his command. He'd been the one put in charge of her, after all.<br>
<br>
Before he could, however, she heard another question headed in her direction. She was silent for a bit, seemingly debating whether or not to answer. Eventually, she did. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“This one's new.”</b></span> She raised the smaller artificial hand. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“This one I had for a long time.”</b></span> She raised the big combat arm. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Rest is also pretty old.”</b></span> She didn't give exact dates or years, but it was something. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“They do what they were made to do.”</b></span> She replied, on the topic of appreciating them. Getting any concrete information wasn't likely, unless they'd somehow pry or force it out of her or if it'd be for the sake of the mission. <br>
<br>
After a while, Sophia and Kalina rejoined them. Not before Kalina had been left behind feeling a bit dazzled, however, wondering if, and if so, how, she should repay the bug for the repayment. Sure, it might escalate into a perpetual loop, but the thought of that wasn't all that bad. As she rejoined however, the group would soon head towards where they could meat up with Chima.<br>
<br>
As they were walking, however, Morana spoke up again. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“It's probably safe to assume that none of you dealt with an informant before, so let me make this clear. They survive by running at the first sign of danger. In other words, if you want information from Chima, don't  get close, don't make sudden movements, don't start to spread out to where she can't see all of us at once and definitely don't look like you're reaching for a weapon. Play by whatever rules she gives you and you'll have a shot at learning what you want, break a rule or do one of the things I just mentioned and there's a fair chance she'll flee to somewhere you'll never find her again.”</b></span> She looked at Scylla in particular. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Do you understand that?”</b></span><br>

Eventually, about 30 minutes later, they'd reach Railworker's Crossing. It was a busy place where it was instantly clear how it got its name. Trains and tracks were crossing each-other above, below and alongside each-other and even entered buildings on multiple levels. You'd have to take care not to end up on the wrong track or risk getting squashed by an inbound train, as they were getting by at high speeds. Most of them seemed to be moving goods from factories all through-out these outer districts of Clockhaven. <br>
<br>
The group found themselves on the ground level, looking up at all the trains and tracks moving above them (and a few on their own level as well), with Morana eventually stopping next to a set of levers that seemed to be made for the train tracks. However, she pulled one of them, which didn't seem to do anything to the tracks themselves... She soon explained why. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“That'll give her a signal someone's waiting on her. She'll scout us out first from the distance, using another way to approach each time, so you'll have to be patient for a while. As for me, I'll stand behind all of you for a bit. She knows my knees allow me to jump further and won't entrust me to be as close as she'll probably allow the rest of you to come. Assuming you don't want to be shouting back and forth, I'll be in the back.”</b></span> She said, before moving away from the group (although staying true to her own word and remaining in the same line of sight as them). <br>
<br>
The latter, however, gave Kalina a chance to quickly mention something to Scylla, pulling her aside to whisper something. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“When you have a chance to, please check Morana's temperature. I think she might have a serious cold, if you catch my drift. As our leader, I'm sure you'll figure out how.”</b></span> She hoped that'd be enough to get Scylla to catch on to Sophia's theory that Morana might be a vampire. Even though Kalina herself didn't deem it likely, it'd be best to check it regardless. <br>
<br>
As for the informant... it looked like it might indeed take a while for her to arrive. It'd give them some time to perhaps prepare their questions, or reconfirm the rules they'd just been told about. Not that the trains racing by allowed them to have much of a comfortable talk here, as they were rather loud and dangerous to those not used to them.</div>

A slight smile crept onto Cayde's face as he surveyed the group's support. Everything was going <i>phenomenally. </i>Hearing the faith in their voices and the camaraderie building between them was absolutely heartwarming. <i>So empowering. </i>This was probably how all leaders felt, he thought. It didn't seem half bad. However, the thought pewtered from Cayde's mind as soon as Scylla fully accepted the role of leader. It didn't seem so bad being delegated to second-in-command, either. It felt a lot easier to breathe. Made some of the worries go away, too. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sure thing, Scylla, I'd <i>much</i> prefer that," </span></b>He chuckled, the tension easing from his shoulders, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Or is it Lady Scylla now? Eh, we'll come up with something, won't we?" </b></span>He turned and gave Shion a thumbs-up, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Heh, I'll try, Shion. Emphasis on <i>try</i>," </b></span><br>
<br>
With that out of the way, Cayde followed after Morana, taking heed of her precautions. He pictured Chima: careful, strict, and probably didn't want their time wasted. Nothing that couldn't be worked with. It just meant everyone needed to ask the right questions. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It shouldn't be much of an issue," </b></span>He told Morana, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We'll behave," </b></span>That said, Cayde turned and gave each party member an affirmative nod. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Just gotta come up with a few good questions," </b></span>He turned to Iberis, a smile evident in his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Iberis will help us out with that," </b></span>An adequate affirmation, he hoped. It'd only been hours since they'd met, but Iberis had already shown potential. It'd be great to see her in action again. <br>
<br>
It wasn't long before he was at the rendezvous. Cayde nodded along as Morana explained the signal before retiring behind the group. It still seemed strange. Both Chima and Morana sounded like they knew each other, and yet it sounded as if Chima was <i>afraid</i> of her. Did something happen between the two? Or was Chima just skeptical of everyone? Cayde shrugged the thought out of his head. Maybe he'd find out later. For now, there were more things to talk about, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright," </b></span>He said, turning to face the entire party, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"So we've got everything down, yeah? Stick together, listen to what she says, try not to appear threatening, and... oh, one second..." </b></span>Cayde slipped his fingers under his mask and pulled it off. He didn't acknowledge the puffiness of his eyes. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Much better. Now, let's talk,"</b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde rubbed his chin with a hand, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"So Chima doesn't sound like someone who likes to stick around, much less someone who wants their time wasted. So I think we should stick to <i>only</i> asking about what she found <i>and</i> about Sverre," </b></span>He explained, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Where they last were, if they told her anything before they disappeared, things along those lines," </span></b>He nodded to himself self-assuredly. It didn't feel so bad talking as 'second-in-commad'. He could get used to this. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"After our chat, then we'll start looking for Sverre. How's that sound?" </b></span></div>

<br>
The witchy one was was rather  pleased to her Shion's positive reaction to what she had to say, as her smile became a bit more prominent. If all went well perhaps she'd get to spend some time relaxing somewhere nice with some new friends.<br>
---<br>
Iberis spent most of her time on standby for now, until it was clear what the group was doing next between Scylla and Cayde. Irrespectively she listened to the responses that Morana gave and she was pleasantly surprised that this construct seemed to be more sociable than she had been expecting. Iberis wondered why someone would bother  putting that much effort into having the construct be expressive in their own ways even if the full range of emotion wasn't there, if it wasn't necessary ultimately to their functionality, she supposed there would be plenty of time to figure out the logistics of all of that as she got to know more about constructs.<br>
<br>
Iberis didn't particularly feel the need to join in on the question Morana about her intrinsic qualities since it was happening enough from others at the moment, she was learning plenty just by listening in. Of course she couldn't help but wonder some what Kalina and Sophia had been talking about exactly, but if it had to be privately discussed she was sure there were reasons for it, and at least this time around she felt more comfortable with Kalina and Sophia withholding something from the group  than she did Renee, even if it didn't always put her at the most ease in these sorts of settings, she could at the very least tolerate it. Smiling some as she heard the interactions.<br>
<br>
---<br>
After this discussion it wasn't long before the group was on the move after the duo who were speaking privately returned and now the whole group was following Morana, during this Iberis stayed near the group and kept vigilant, trying her best not to look like some out of place tourist who didn't know what they were doing ,even if she might as well have been that, it was certain that her garb did not help any with looking like a native of this, In Iberis's mind Fascinating land.  While they were walking with the gradually changing scenery, Iberis listened to Morana intently once again<br>
<br>
A more serious look fell upon Iberis's face when she heard Morana  lay down the ground rules for this interaction. There was no way that Iberis planned on screwing this all up for them, so she was going to those words seriously. It sounded like they would need to be particularly careful.  Even though Morana was looking at Scylla while she asked if they understood it had been a question for all of them, so Iberis replied<br>
"Mhm, I Understand clearly."<br>
<br>
When Cayde chimed in about  them asking good questions , and name dropped her, she gave Cayde a smile of acknowledgment, "You know it." she reaffirmed. It was nice to hear that it sounded like he thought well enough of her for that already, as truthfully Iberis did enjoy positive attention even now, since it was something she was very much largely deprived of not growing up in a traditional setting to say the least.<br>
<br>
Once they reached the train area Iberis couldn't help but look around a bit awed by the whole scene before them, all kinds of things she really  hadn't even seen much of before.<br>
"Woah, Morana, this place is..really impressive..You don't really see a lot of this sort of stuff where I'm from." she couldn't help but comment.<br>
<br>
Iberis heard out Morana once again about all the precautions she recommended they took, listening in carefully since this was more information that sounded vital to their success. Iberis cared less about the reasons why the information was like this and more so that they just needed to do it to be successful in their overall goal  and come out unharmed, taking notice that Morana moved back after.<br>
<br>
It sounded like the group had some time to talk amongst themselves then.<br>
Iberis listened once more by the time that Cayde was speaking too, before he exposed what he looked like, and truthfully she wasn't sure what she had expected but Cayde looked rather nice.<br>
<br>
Cayde's reasoning once again sounded solid to Iberis so she nodded as she looked to him, keeping a decently close proximity to Scylla where they stood if possible, out of habit."Okay yeah, based on what I could gather about what she sounds like, that definitely sounds like a smart move, we don't want to make any sudden movements or do anything weird or threatening,  just ask her to the point questions about what we want to know regarding our business here,  like you're saying, asking anything unnecessary could lead to her leaving before we got everything we really wanted." Iberis replied in agreement.<br>
<br>
"Out of what you've mentioned we should definitely ask about what she found as a first topic of discussion if it seems doable, then follow up about Sverre and that line of questioning with a streamlined interaction in mind."<br>
<br>
She then turned to the group, some also curious what they may have had to say on the matter, before looking back to Cayde.</div>

Sophia returned with the group a slight bit ahead of Kalina, giving the group a small smile before doing her best to integrate back into the party. She stayed silent until they moved on to Railworker's Crossing. Overall, she thought that this was rather... convoluted, but in the end, she seemed more focused on the fact that their escort would be stationed behind them. She wasn't sure if she felt completely comfortable with that, so in the end, she positioned herself leaning on one of the walls, making sure to keep Morana in her peripheral vision. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Y'all can do most of the talking.

With most of the group having formed their plans and gone through their briefing on informant 'etiquette', all they had to do was await the arrival of the person in question. The latter happened rather suddenly, as after a good few minutes of waiting a woman arrived, cruising along the train's rails using some sort of odd single-wheel like device. Considering the distance she kept (just enough to talk to others at a louder voice, but not an inch closer), this was likely the person they'd been waiting for. She made sure to stay on the rails above them, near a place where she could easily ride off again along the train's tracks, using that device of hers.<br>

Shion was happy to leave the hangar, or at least, she thought she would be at first. Stepping out into the city didn't do much to improve her mood though. Her mood dampened some seeing the city reflect the hangar she had been in. <i>I don't know why I expected to be free from such metallic contraptions...</i><br>
<br>
Shion mentally sighed as they proceeded through the city. Every block Shion's mood seemed to get more melancholic as they went along. She also made certain she was never the closest one to Morana during the entire trek. She didn't say much either, merely observed the structures and people as they passed. There were all walks of life in this city too, just like all other civilizations she'd walked through back home. It relieved her slightly, but at the same time it all felt so unnecessary. What did robbing the world of a place for life to grow offer as a benefit? She couldn't see it, nothing that a relationship with the spirits and proper use of magic couldn't also provide, and with more harmony.<br>
<br>
It made her second guess her desire to help these adventurers. Not because she didn't like them, far from it, they seemed like good people, but nothing in Widersia made her happy, and it started becoming very obvious towards the end of their journey with her ears down and her tail lacking any energy to move.<br>
<br>
Once they all arrived at the Railworker's Crossing, Shion listened to Morana's instructions intently. She still didn't trust the woman, she had noticed on the way over that Shion's attempts to stay away from her didn't disturb her in the slightest. She had hunted in her kitsune form enough to know when a hunter's confidence was on display, there was never a need to rush a proper kill to feed your stomach, or in the case of humans, fill your coffers. Was she sure this was the same? No, but the woman's eerie calm in not even talking to her until the given instructions definitely didn't help.<br>
<br>
She listened to Cayde and Iberis exchange ideas on what to do, hoping it would distract her from her discomfort. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If it's sudden movements we should avoid...maybe it's best I don't look at our informant." </span>Shion said in a low voice, her tone reflecting her mood. She glanced Morana's direction.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If they're anything like our escort...I don't know if I'll be able to help myself if she shows up suddenly."</span> Shion stated to those near her. <span style="color: null">She tried to forget where she was, but then the trains would remind her ears readily. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"...I hope we can leave this place soon."</span> She finally let it slip verbally, but she didn't feel the need to cover up what she meant. She closed her eyes momentarily and smirked a little. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I envy your ability to walk these streets and not feel like you've been severed from your purpose..."</span><br>
<br>
She snapped back to reality the next second, realizing how dampening her comments must've been. She shook her head with a pathetic laugh following. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm so sorry, how droll of me. Please ignore me. I'll follow your lead." </span>She said to Cayde and Iberis once they came up with a plan.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Once Chima arrived, Shion managed to glance her way and see she was way more normal than Morana was. It relived her a great deal. Sadly, Shion had no information or assurances to give. Her power diminished and knowing very little of this world she merely glanced to the ones that could actually say anything and hope she could help sway the conversation if they began to falter. She wanted to give her confidence that she'd do everything to help her, but if asked for a demonstration of what she could do Shion couldn't deliver. She couldn't help but mentally sigh again, annoyed at her inability to attune to this world faster. She wondered if Widersia had anything to do with that, but it's not like the answer would help her much right now.</div>

<br>
When Morana mentioned <i>‘folk to toy with’ </i>her head tilted,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “wha?”</span> This construct/human woman with solemn demeanor was a little unsettling when stating such comments. The witch decided to save her follow up replies for a later time. It was becoming more and more apparent that this woman had a bit of an <i>uncomfortable</i> history. She wondered if there was anything that would give her reason to believe she was in some way shape or form, warm hearted. Even under all the contraptions she was plugged into.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Woops!”</span> The witch giggled before accidentally cutting her finger. It was but a thin cut at the top of her finger, so razor sharp that she barely even felt it. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“My word, you were definitely not kidding!” </span>She responded to Morana as the witch put the tip of her finger in her mouth.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Well? Come along then..” </span>she called out again at Morana, who seemed unresponsive to her command.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..oh I see what’s going on here! It’s because your<i> friend</i> said 'I’m not the leader isn’t it?'”</span> She frowned, crossing her arms with a shrug and a sigh. She'd bow her head with sadness. The witch would then tug on Caydes sleeve.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hey tell her to follow yeah? Morana already hates me.”</span><br>
<br>
The witch had pushed Cayde forward only briefly before letting go.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Lady Scylla eh?”</span> She repeated with a pondering finger at her chin.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Has a bit of a ring to it doesn’t it? Very well! I approve!”<br>
<br>
“Hm!?”</span> She retorted playfully, a giggle escaping her lips as Kalina whispered in her ear.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “A bribe for your vote eh?”</span> She whispered back with a grin, a hint of evil on her face.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Very well, here’s a sample!”</span> She offered, sticking her bleeding finger in the vampires mouth. Then pulling it out with a funny popping sound.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I’ll have you know, I haven’t had any sugar in quite the while. The underworld doesn’t exactly appreciate pastries and yummy treats! Buuuut.. at this point I’m probably on a permanent sugar spike. As you can likely tell.”</span><br>
<br>
As they began to head towards their destination, Kalina mentioned something that made Scylla wonder, she understood the request, however she pondered on how to be discreet about it. She wanted to prove her leadership abilities, surely being a leader meant you had to make sacrifices, even if they were at times inconvenient or downright shameful. It was all for the greater good of the group, and she was determined to prove her worth, in spite of the disapproval and odds stacked against her! Being the daring devil, she had an idea.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Morana, I.. “</span> she was looking down, sadly,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..I’m so sorry you don’t like me.”</span> She’d then come up to her and sink her face in her chest. Likely that was one of the only ways to tell for certain what her temperature would be?<br>
<br>
Her words were muffled.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “I can only hope I can convince you of my worthiness to your service! If there’s anything I can do. Pretty please do tell! This means so much more to me than you could imagine!”</span><br>
<br>
Granted it was likely not 'leader like' to plea for a way to become anyones leader. Much less so in a situation where one was <i>voted </i>into leadership. So really it was about making relationships, or at least that's what Scylla thought it to be, maybe a little too well.<br>
<br>
She’d let go gently, not making any sudden movements to provoke this menacing woman’s wrath. What was most surprising though was Scylla's resistance to blush. Perhaps she shed a bit of her bashfulness in the underworld? Who knows. But she was rather comfortable with all of it, maybe due to the sense of duty earlier.<br>
<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Once with Chima, she introduced herself, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Why greetings! I'm the leader here! The names Scylla! Pleased to meet you!"</span> She curtsied, before figuring that Morana and this Chima had a bit of history, or perhaps Chima was suspicious of something regarding their companion. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I see, well, you can place your trust in us! We're here to get to the bottom of this, if theres anything our dear Morana could give I'm sure she'd be more than willing to oblige! Isn't that right Morana?" </span>She turned to look at her expectantly, hopefully she was wiling to listen this time? Or maybe give some clues as to her affiliations with China.</div>

A surprised look formed on Cayde's face as Chima made her arrival. She'd looked nothing like the jumpy person Morana described. Looked pretty sure of herself, like she <i>knew</i> what she was doing. And everything else was true. Cautious, no-nonsense, and straight to the point. A lump formed in Cayde's throat. She didn't look like someone who liked mistakes, either. He couldn't mess this up. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm Cayde. A pleasure to meet you,"</span> </b>He said, quickly bowing his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You look like a busy woman. I'll save the pleasantries and cut to the point, yeah?" </span></b><br>
<br>
For a moment, Cayde's eyes wandered to the side. There was nothing he <i>could</i> add. All he knew was what the baron told him, and even that wasn't much. Maybe Chima had already heard of the bodies found in Droid's Row. Maybe she'd take off after deeming their support worthless. Cayde threw the thought into the back of his mind. None of that, he told himself. Just be honest. Wasn't he good at that? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We've just started our investigation, so we only know a little. We <i>are</i> aware of what happened in Droid's Row, however. We suspect the assassins might've found something useful, kinda like the guy we're looking for..." </span></b>He nodded, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sverre. Finding him might give crucial evidence on the vampire. The baron said you might know where he is or what he'd found, so here we are..." </span></b><br>
<br>
Then, Cayde's lips pursed, considering the alternative. It didn't sound too horrible. If a fight happened, everyone could hold their own, no problem. Scylla and Kalina were fantastic in the swamps, and surely they'd gotten even better after all this time. Iberis was a part of the Academy, and <i>everyone </i>knew not to mess around with them. And Sophia, with that monster of a crossbow, they'd probably drop dead before she could shoot. Together they'd be unstoppable. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"As for your second offer, I'd say we've got a group of competent fighters going,"</span> </b>Cayde explained, pride reflecting in his voice, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We could help you get the vengeance you deserve. Just gotta lead us to em'"</span> </b>He tried to smile, but then a memory of Shion came into view. He'd almost forgotten. She'd <i>just </i>come into this world. Maybe she still wasn't used to fighting yet. It wouldn't be very second-in-command-like to force her into a battle. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But first, I gotta discuss it with the team, make sure they're on board too, y'know?"</span></b><br>
<br>
Just as Cayde braced for Chima's and the party's response, he heard Scylla mention asking Morana for clues. His eyes went wide. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wow, I actually didn't think of that..."</span> </b>An appreciative smile formed on his face, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Good thinking Scyll- <i>Lady </i>Scylla,"</span> </b>He turned his attention back to Chima, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"She's right. Morana might be able to give you something of use. She'd been put under our command, so if you'd let me, could I go over and try to ask her?"</span></b></div>

Iberis couldn't help but feel a bit bad when she heard what Shion had to say on the matter of her purpose feeling severed so to speak, hopefully when all was said and done they could show her more of the places that Iberis had mentioned which would be more too her liking since it wasn't terribly hard to tell that Shion had most definitely been on edge for most of this time thanks to this environment which she was not used too, as far as what Iberis could tell from the vibes she was was giving off and what she said.<br>
<br>
"Oh, Shion, you're fine..we'll get through this together, okay?" She reaffirmed not wanting her to feel like she was being a bother. How she was feeling was completely reasonable  to Iberis and she really did want her to feel better.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile some of the theatrics with Scylla had once again been somewhat humorous to see unfold to say the least with the gestures and posturing for being in command, it was all very much on brand, and Iberis couldn't help but smile some, granted it had been a bit less humorous when Scylla had cut her finger as Iberis's face shifted to one of a bit of concern, before relaxing some at realizing that the cut hadn't been that bad. After quite literally almost getting slaughtered by Renee it that type of injury actually felt rather trivial in comparison.<br>
---<br>
Iberis didn't really have an expectation one way or another what she was expecting the informant to look like, other than perhaps a cloaked figure or something of the like who spoke cryptically, that's the sorts that you heard about in stories after all.  Yes indeed they were a lot of new faces and Iberis was going to continue to do her very best  not to ruin this for them all, so she tried to stay relatively still, using her staff like a walking stick of sorts at that point, as she just looked forward to Chima and listened to what she had to tell them, the more serious business look returning on her face. What was Chima getting at here? A game Iberis was not expecting to play apparently, expecting this informant to be more willing to actually inform since this whole mission was supposed to be for the betterment of this place was it not? It didn't sound like that's what motivated Chima, but instead personal motivation, which Iberis couldn't criticize too much given what she had been doing not all that long ago.<br>
<br>
She first heard Scylla introduce herself after Chima ceased her speech, Iberis wasn't sure how effective trying to get Morana to assist would help here, but she supposed it was worth a try, even if she was dubious Morana would listen to Scylla since the Baron had told her to listen to Cayde. She then heard Cayde explain the situation and once again she thought he did a good job being articulate of what the situation was and why they were there.<br>
<br>
Despite Iberis's  initial thought it sounded like  Cayde seemed to think that looking to Morana might be a good idea too. But then there was the issue of what Chima had ased them for. Stead of doing much, Iberis stayed relatively stationary and still, before speaking.<br>
<br>
"And I'm Iberis, I can assure you that Cayde is correct in his summary of our situation of why we are here and his  assertion that we are very capable. While my appearance might not suggest it, I have experience under my belt which would be beneficial to getting what you are looking for. I've already been in my fair share of combat and dangerous situations and have only learned to become  more proficient in in my abilities."<br>
<br>
<br>
Iberis's tone was more serious and to the point than usual. Asserting that she was willing to help with that goal if that's what the group was ready and wanted to do. Vengeance against the wicked for the fallen was a noble goal as far as Iberis was concerned, since it meant that others would not fall victim potentially to the wicked one. Now she just awaited what everyone else who was there had to say on the matters that were brought to the forefront.</div>

Kalina had been genuinely caught off guard when she'd suddenly found a finger in her mouth. She'd been planning to just tease the witch a bit, get her embarrassed or something. Now she was on the receiving end of such a treatment. However, as lost for words and thoughts as she was, her instincts were a lot more clear on what they wanted, sucking down on that finger at the first taste of the witches' blood. Between the taste of those magically talented such as a witch like Scylla or those magical by nature, such as a Fae like Sophia, it was difficult to decide which flavour was better. In this case, however, there was indeed an odd lingering sweetness to it that made her want more and which made her want to figure out just how much sweeter it could get while at it. <br>
<br>
She snapped out of it the moment the finger left her mouth with a popping sound. Luckily, 'Chandra's' reaction and her own were similar enough. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“W-what the hell?”</b></span> Was all she replied. Whereas 'Chandra' would likely say so as in 'what the hell are you doing?' Kalina herself was more concerned about keeping up her cover. Either way, the response remained the same and was pretty darn genuine. Except, of course, the fact that she kept the fact that she'd just gotten a taste of something she wanted more off as well-hidden as she possibly could. As for Kalina's suggestion for Scylla to measure Morana's temperature... that was almost equally shocking. She'd honestly expected the witch to just put her hand on Morana's forehead with an excuse of wiping something away, rather than doing... whatever that was. It gave her an odd mixed feeling of second-hand embarrassment and... curiosity? For now, she'd just keep an eye out that Morana wouldn't butcher the witch for those actions.<br>
<br>
As they were waiting on the informant, she spotted the new arrival, Shion, to be looking rather down. Considering she could use a distraction from thinking about witch blood, she decided to follow-up on Iberis' words. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“She's right, we've been through far worse and always got out alright. You might be new, but I'm sure we'll be able to...”</b></span> Fuck, she was Chandra right now. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“to... help you pull through... as well.”</b></span> She ended, a least being able to put a more natural ending to it, hopefully not fully blowing her cover. She wasn't doing a great job at keeping it thus far, she feared. Scylla hadn't exactly been helping there, making her mind feel cloudy and confused and bringing up some vampiric instincts. At this rate, she'd have to fear getting thirsty from not just getting close to Sophia, but equally so from Scylla.<br>

Morana instinctively drew back at first, when Scylla suddenly got close. Initially even seemingly getting ready to defend herself against something. When she heard the words and noticed Scylla's actual intend, she just stood still for a bit. There was one minor 'issue' with Scylla's plan. Most of the woman's chest was covered by the [Maid's Battle Dress E], only excluding the part where two of her more humanoid assets were located. If that'd be where Scylla landed her head, she'd surely feel this woman's temperature though, which was far from cold. In fact, it was uncomfortably hot, like this woman was running on some insanely high fever. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I can assure you one thing. This isn't it.”</b></span> She eventually replied to Scylla's question. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Keep playing with fire and you're bound to get burned.”</b></span> She added, although as per usual, her tone of voice didn't suggest much between joke, tease or threat.<br>
<br>
She was equally unamused when Scylla suddenly mentioned her in front of Chima. To hear the one she'd been put in charge off back that up... For a second, they could swear the glazed-out eyes glared at Cayde. Then a sigh came from the mask. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“If that's an official command... tell her what I'm using contains <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCocaine&amp;hash=3a98b327ad8ee53e067d33d229dbef56" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">benzoylmethylecgonine</a> and a mixture of other <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance-enhancing_substance" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FPerformance-enhancing_substance&amp;hash=c2e7eb215d7f292c5c03f9f75181a36b" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">ergogenic aids</a>. She's been trying to figure that out for as long as I've known her.”</b></span> To pretty much everyone around, that wouldn't mean much. Cayde, however, being the alchemist he was, might figure out what she was talking about. Either way, she clearly hadn't been eager to give such information out, yet knew it'd be the type of thing that'd get Chima to talk, which forced her to obey the command in favour of their overall mission.<br>

At first, she didn't look amused. After all, only one person seemed to competently address her, which was Cayde. The rest remained silent, turned away from her or just rambled. However, two things managed to appease her. For one, she had sharp enough hearing to pick up on what Morana said, even though they were a distance away. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“So that's what the baron's got you hooked on...”</b></span> She uttered in reply, although Morana's hearing wasn't sharp enough to hear the reply. A bit louder, she spoke up again. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“I'll take that.” </b></span><br>
<br>
The other thing that appeased her was Cayde's mindset. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“You seem smarter than Sverre was, so I'll tell you where he went wrong. He went after the vampire with all his men, without a proper plan. He expected brute force to work. From what I've gathered, he didn't even meet her and got caught by her Thrall first. Now he's in hiding somewhere even I couldn't confirm, but I suspect it's somewhere in Third Factory Street.”</b></span> She paused for a bit, debating something. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“Now, here's the really valuable information. Judging by the wounds, the Thrall's the one that cut up those assassins as well, including three of my informants, but she's left a fourth one go entirely unharmed. When I tried to ask why, all I got from my informant was that, unlikely everyone else, they were too scared to speak or act and that she just stared at them until they ran off. That's an interesting twist, isn't it? There should be more to it, so think about why that might be. I've got my theories, but you'd be better off reaching you own.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“That'd normally sell for a lot of money, </b></span> She tapped her fingers on the wheel-like device. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“So, if you want even more information... I'll want something of more value in return. I still know some things about those Vampire Hunters you might want to know, or perhaps a rumour about what occurred to Sverre's men? I've even got a clue as to where the Thrall might be hiding.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She looked over the group. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“I could tell you about some of those things, but in return, tell me a few things of your own. For one, that fox and the Fae look out of place. What are you two doing here?”</b></span> She asked, looking over at Shion and Sophia. Then she turned to Iberis and Scylla. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“As for you two, you've seen how void this country is of magic, yet the vampire seems to have utilised it. There's one thing that I can't put my finger on, but perhaps you two might. Tell me whatever you know about magic that brings the death back to life in order to serve the living and I'll tell you why I'm after such information in return.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Finally, she looked at Cayde again. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“You've been granted control over Morana it seems... That's good. However, if you want to present me something really valuable, tell her two write down the exact formula of what she's using. Every single ingredient and the exact amounts. If you do that, I'll answer any question you have to the best of my ability.”</b></span> As Chima said it, the glazed out eyes of Morana glared at Chima even worse than they'd glared at Cayde prior. It was clear that this topic wasn't one she was eager to talk about, yet she'd likely comply if it was Cayde's official command for the sake of their mission.</div>

What in this godsforsaken place was happening behind her? Shion looked at the scene unfolding between Scylla and Morana with two primary emotions running through her mind; a desire to protect Scylla should Morana make a move to threaten her, and a temptation to laugh. While the city of Widersia definitely did nothing to bring a smile to Shion's face, these people around her were quite the band of characters, that was for sure, and it helped her tremendously. She'd have to find a way to thank them later. She fought the desire to laugh at Scylla's antics and focus on the situation, lest she cause the biomechanical woman further cause to act up.<br>
<br>
She then turned to Iberis, once again offering her words of encouragement that made her smile more than she had been, her ears and tail even got a bit more life back in them even if her tail wasn't quite as active as it was back at the hangar. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thank you, Iberis, I have no doubt we'll make it through. I did not mean to-"</span><br>
<br>
Then her ears twitched as Chandra confidently reinforced Iberis' statement. Her comment fell off towards the end, but Shion couldn't help but wonder why. Did she experience wild mood shifts? Or was it something more? Either way, Shion turned her attention to Chandra now. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Please, Chandra, I have no lack of faith for our ability to succeed, I just...have a general distaste for urbanized lands. I greatly appreciate your concern for me though, thank you."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Then she was suddenly the target of the scout's curiosity, or rather, everyone caught Chima's eye for questions. She'd heard Cayde's exchange with her while she was observing Scylla and Morana, doing her best to keep up with the situation. She <i>really</i> needed to pull someone aside and get direct details so she could at least <i>pretend</i> she intended to be here from the start. First, she had to deal with this woman's intrigue. Shion thought to herself, what could her excuse be to address the woman? She knew the most valuable information she could offer, it's that she wasn't from this world. That'd easily buy them everything they wanted, surely. Should she really risk that though? No, not until she had regained more control over her font of magic again. Not yet, at least. She needed an answer...was she confident she could play with the human language right now? Might be worth a shot. She took a single cautious step forward to not alarm Chima, but to state her position firmly.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You're right, I don't belong here, my home is that of the forests. I happened to be approached by some fine friends to accept this job, and if this cities' balance is in jeopardy, I will quell its unrest."</span> Shion responded with confidence. Nothing she said was a lie, even if she was possibly assuming a bit much of these people she just met. But they were friends with each other, so she wasn't lying in that way either just because they might not be <i>her</i> friends yet. Still, they showed her far more kindness than some humans she'd met in the past, and they even believed her story about not being from here and at least of couple of them had their first instinct to be to help. Considering she could've wound up with much worse in this city she detested, she simply counted her blessings.</div>

Cayde's nose wrinkled as he heard Morana's exchange with Chima. So Morana was using <i>those</i> kinds of stimulants? The same he'd hear of Ryken's junkies abusing? A troubling discovery. And by the daggers he could feel being stared into his back, one that felt like it should've been kept private. The realization made him squirm a bit. He hoped that hadn't made things too awkward. Otherwise, there'd be no chance to kindly offer her a list of natural, safe substitutes. It'd be one way to say sorry. And another way to tell her she didn't deserve to punish herself like that.<br>
<br>
Nonetheless, that got Chima talking. Cayde listened closely as she spilled all the juicy details on Sverre and the Thrall. He made a mental note of how she fought. She sounded sneaky - probably liked getting up close and personal, too. That'd be good to remember. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I see,"</span> </b>He murmured, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Might try to ambush us if we go looking for her. Good to know," </b></span>Her second statement was a little less easy for him to answer. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Well, there could be <i>many</i> reasons why she'd let one go," </b></span>He said inquisitively, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Our vampire's goal is to attract followers, right? Maybe she made her thrall let one go to spread the word. Y'know, that guy lives to tell the tale; gossip spreads throughout the country - <i>outside </i>the country. Puts fear into people's hearts and gets the attention of other monsters. Wouldn't be the worst way of growing your brand." </span></b>The second theory sounded far more far-fetched in his mind. Especially without any knowledge of the thrall herself, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Or there was some moment of resistance? Maybe the thrall didn't <i>want</i> to kill that person for some reason?" </b></span>Cayde shrugged his shoulders, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Dunno much about the thrall, though. We'll need more details." </span></b><br>
<br>
However, when Chima listed his 'price' for more details, concern grew on Cayde's face. He wasn't sure how any of this was relevant to the investigation. What did it matter what Morana used? There was no reason for him to pry any further into her life. She deserved her privacy as much as anyone else. Even if it <i>would</i> benefit everyone. <br>
<br>
The thought made him pause. <i>It would benefit everyone. </i>Just one little question and everyone would know everything Chima knew. Then Iberis and Scylla could ask their questions, and they'd all have so much to work with. It'd be great! The investigation would go so smoothly. All he had to do was stay <i>objective, </i>just as he promised. Just disregard someone's feelings for one time. Just don't be the <i>old</i> him. He could do that, right? <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"I'll do it," </b></span>Cayde told Chima, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Morana..." </b></span>He felt a pang of guilt curl into his stomach, stopping his tongue. He couldn't do this. Sure, Morana would know it was for the sake of the investigation, but how would she see him afterward<i>? </i>How would <i>everyone</i> see him afterward? Wouldn't a good second-in-command take that into account? <br>
<br>
Cayde took a deep breath. Maybe just a little <b>[Persuasion - F]</b>  would help ease the blow, he thought. Morana would understand. Everyone would understand. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Morana, Chima wants you to write the specifics of what you're using... ingredients, measures, everything." </span></b>He called over his shoulder, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"She'll give us all the info we <i>need. </i>Please understand." </b></span>His eyes fell to the floor, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, this is the last time I'll for anything more about <i>you</i>, okay? Nothing but the investigation after this. Promise."</b></span></div>

<br>
“Whoa..” The witch exclaimed, her voice still muffled as her face paused in between the mentioned ‘assets’. This woman was running absurdidly hot! She quickly took her face out and looked up at the construct like woman. A nervous and embarassed smile overcoming her features, “..i-i’m terribly sorry my dear, i..” She shook her head quickly, as if greatly disappointed in herself. “..i dont know what came over me. Y-yes, you’re right, i can’t win your fellowship with apologies.” Then Scylla would laugh a bit louder than she wanted, trying to laugh at the constructs potential attempt at making a joke. However, the witch couldn’t tell, as there was no tone in her voice. She'd then notice Shion resisting her laughter before attempting to smile at the fox lady. <br>
<br>
“Benzoylmethylecgonine!! Why of course!” The witch jumped up getting a bit in Moranas face, holding up an index finger. Then a blank stare, “Uh.. what is that?” <br>
Her gaze would turn to Chima for potential answers then back at Morana attempting a smile. “S-sorry again.” She brought her hat down over her eyes, embarassed with herself yet again. <br>
<br>
The witch then heard Chima’s mutterings, prompting a tilt of her head and a suspicious look. Her eyes narrowed into a slight squint at Morana, then back at Morana but only breifly. Snapping her fingers, her note pad and pen jotted down some quick notes before evaporating again. <br>
<br>
She continued to listen in on Chima’s commentaries, it seemed she knew quite a bit, likely due to how well connected she was with this otherwofdly place. But then a question about bringing back the dead. “Oh boy, there’s quite a bit to unpack..” Scylla said as she looked over towards Iberis. Shrugging as if asking ’should we just tell her?’ <br>
<br>
“..Well, i mostly dabble in experimental and somewhat unconventional magics. However, i’m a curious cat..” she’d entwine her hands behind her as one of her shoes sort of tapped ontop of the other. “..necromancy is one, well, depending on how acute the caster has focused his efforts he can either literally bring someone back from the dead, or bring back the corpse as a sort of servant, if you will. You see, there isn’t a way for magic itself to reanimate an entire person, usually they awaken as something else completely. Some would say, it has to do with the ’soul’ no longer being present.” her lips puckered and she twidled her thumbs now at her front. “I suppose another one could be ‘vampirism’ which is more of what we seem to be dealing with here. I don’t know much about this subject however, other than the results, which obviously births blood drinkers.” <br>
<br>
Then looking at Chima and Cayde, noticing Morana's discomfort, "Uhm, why do you want those details anyway? Kinda seems like you're shaking us down for more info than you could give us." The witch smirked, "No but really, give us a lead. Maybe start with where we could find Sverre?" <br>
<br>
The witch would then notice the Shirons tail, seemingly spacing out with curiosity, "ooooo.." she'd pat her tail before giving it a squeeze. "..so.. fluff.. my goodness."</div>

Sophia's eyes moved from the informant to their follower. She knew she could help by offering to make something, but... this lady wasn't someone she wanted to sell to. She didn't even have to use her appraisal skill to tell this lady was a criminal. Even if it was for a good cause, she refused to break her code of selling to criminals. She let out a small sigh before turning to look at Morana once more. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"To be honest, any bit of information helps. And even if it doesn't, I'm not sure what the harm is in telling her anyways."</span> She gave a small shrug before leaning back once more.​</div></div>

She smiled back at Shion, happy to see her cover hadn't been too blown just yet. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“For what it's worth... I... don't like these busy... industrial places... either.”</b></span> She'd reply, which was mostly true. Whilst she was curious to see how this 'world' worked, so to say, she felt like she had to be far more on guard than in a random forest in the middle of nowhere. Feeling like she had to be on her toes all the time wasn't all that pleasant. Being with just some friends, out and about in nature, was far more ideal. Unless it were those cursed marshes. She could still feel her boots getting soggy and gross just thinking back on those.<br>
<br>
Those thoughts hadn't left her mind yet when Scylla surprised her yet again, chasing tail so brazenly! She knew the witch was extroverted and energetic, but this was a whole new level... She knew 'Chandra' wouldn't be able to keep up with that, but at this rate, she wondered if even her 'real' self could. How did getting stuck in an undead realm make Scylla that much more lively? How did going through trauma make her so much more outgoing and daring? Kalina really wished to get to the bottom of it, or better yet, try to one-up the witch. However... Chandra wouldn't do such a thing, so she was halted by the persona she'd taken on. Actually... one thought occurred. Something Chandra might do that might be just as fun... She suppressed a devious smile, as she asked at her most innocent voice (Deception D); <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Is... is it t-that s-soft?”</b></span> <br>

Even with some persuasion thrown in, Morana remained silent for a bit. It was unclear how much worse she'd have reacted without the softened blow, but even with it, she was clearly not happy. Even beneath the mask and glazed out eyes, that much would be clear. She uttered a series clicks under her breath. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC">01001001 00100000 01110011 01110111 01100101 01100001 01110010 00100000 01001001 00100111 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101101 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110000 01100001 01111001 00101110</span><br>
<br>
A moment later, she seemingly recovered. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Of course, sir. However, as you might see, these hands weren't exactly made for writing purposes. Would you mind writing them down as I list them?”</b></span> Her voice sounded relatively emotionless, with the mask altering it a fair bit, but... was it ever so slightly colder than before, or was that just a biased interpretation? <br>
<br>
Either way, she'd deliver what was asked, mentioning a long list of 'ingredients', which were mostly  chemicals within the earlier mentioned categories. Cayde knew most of them to be stimulants in various ways, some of them were medicinal, a few of them in particular to combat negative health effects from amputations whilst others were there to counter the effects of having metal enter your bloodstreams. Other than just performance enhancing, this was likely also there to allow her to keep functioning with such heavy alterations having been made to her body. <br>
<br>
After what she'd been made to reveal, one might assume she wasn't too eager to keep chatting with Scylla, who's idea of personal space was non-existent. That assumption would be correct. The only reaction to Scylla getting in her face and asking further questions was an odd clanking noise coming from her combat arm, as if something had just been put off 'safety' mode. There were no visible signs of such a thing though, nor did she show any sign of even changing how she was standing, so it was probably just a coincidence.<br>

Upon getting the promised list of ingredients, a smile formed on her face. She had just enough knowledge on the topic to realise that Morana likely hadn't been lying and she didn't even need them written down any-more, as her sharp enough hearing caught them all being listed for Cayde to write down and her eidetic memory had already saved them all. <br>
<br>
She smiled at Scylla's question. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“How could I not want the details that uncover the biggest weakness behind Fromm's Hound? She's got many enemies, all of whom would either pay insane amounts for this information or reveal some extremely worthwhile information of their own.”</b></span> She then shouted even louder, to reach Morana in the back. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“Sorry dear, you know it's just business!”</b></span><br>
<br>
After, she turned back to Cayde. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“With such a rewarding prize, I'll give you what you want. Although I'd watch your back now, I doubt she liked being forced to spill her secrets.”</b></span> That said, she reverted to his first question, or rather, question-like statement. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“The vampire's goal is to attract followers, yes. However, I feel like the Thrall has a goal of her own. The vampire had bodies of assassins delivered in bags to get some cloud, which sends a different message than just letting someone run free. One suggests not to mess with their work. The other suggests you can come look and live to tell the tale.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She tapped her fingers on the wheel. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“I'm inclined to think there's something to your second assumption. There has to be a reason why <i>only the person that didn't say or do a thing</i> was able to walk free, don't you think? I'm afraid I'm not sure what it is, but I know there has to be more to it. If you can figure that out, perhaps you won't have to fight the Thrall at all.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then turned to Shion. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“It's peculiar to hear someone speak about a city's balance like that. How would someone of the forests know what the balance in a place like this is supposed to be like?”</b></span> She shook her head. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“Either way, I wish you luck. I've been in this business long enough to know that balance a rarity.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She'd also recalled Scylla's words regarding the undead, having nodded along with them as if knowing what she was talking about. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“That lines up with the rumours I've heard. There's a scrapyard a bit outside the city. It's where they dumped things from Robotics &amp; Steelwork, Morana should know the place. Some rumours of people seeing undead wandering around have been spreading. Seeing how they are exactly like what you described, some sort of husked servants, I think they might be more than just rumours. Sverre's men get killed and their corpses go missing. Undead show up a bit outside the city. Add the fact that they ended up on a scrapyard after making use of heavy body-alterations, even more so than our friend Morana here... Well, I think it's safe to conclude that vampire you're after isn't just a vampire, but also a necromancer.”</b></span><br>
<br>
What else had they been asking for? Locations. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“The Thrall has been moving around a lot, but I think she's trying to hunt down Sverre currently. They might both still be in Third Factory Street as we speak.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She looked at small device on her wrist. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“Time's almost up, but I've given just about all information I have... Ah, one more thing! The vampire hunters. Their teamwork is a mess. It's why they haven't gotten anywhere. I've got no clue what happened among them, but it's tough to think they were once considered world-class professionals.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She felt like that covered her end of the bargain more than enough. <span style="color: #483D8B"><b>“Well then, be sure to avenge my people and to abstain from ending up as a new batch of corpses. I've got new information to auction.”</b></span> She said, activating the wheel-like device and racing off among the trains that were speeding by.<br>

With all that'd been said, Kalina instinctively looked at Cayde, forgetting Scylla was meant to be the leader. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“So... if we want to find Sverre, we'd risk running into the Thrall as well? Whilst his undead men might be roaming a scrapyard and the Vampire Hunters aren't working together...”</b></span> She wondered if the latter would be a problem regarding her personal reason to be here, namely getting them to talk about her past and how to become less monster. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Where do we even start?”</b></span></div>

<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Was giving her such discomfort so necessary, Cayde?"</span> Shion genuinely asked of the man near her. It was surprisingly thoughtful of Shion even though she genuinely did not trust or like being around Morana. Still couldn't help her instincts she supposed, but she looked at Chima once she responded to her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If a Baron is requesting a vampire be dealt with before things get worse, sounds like some form of balance has been disturbed. I don't believe that notion is too complicated to see the disruption."</span> Shion wanted to mention that whether or not it was the Baron or the vampire causing the actual disruption was yet to be seen, but given who she was flanked by on both sides she knew when it would be better not to paint a target on her back.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If I might make a request,"</span> She started, looking to her compatriots, <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Might one of y...you..." </span>Shion's words were cut off as a blush came over her face as Scylla started petting her tail as it reacted happily to her touch. She visibly seemed like any stress she had walking around town with was fading away, but her ability to have a serious conversation was getting hampered too.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That feels-" </span>And then Scylla squeezed her tail suddenly! For the first time since she got here, everyone would see all of Shion's composure insantly evaporate. Her entire body jolted as she let out a genuine yip that reflected her canine origins! The second Scylla let go, Shion spun around and delivered a swift and decisive strike across her cheek!<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Don't you dare squeeze my tail like that again, Young One!"</span> The shock caused Shion's tongue to shift dialects as she spouted something in Beastial as if by pure instinct. She heard Chandra's inquiry about the fluffiness of her tail, well, she heard the words, but didn't fully comprehend them as she just registered it presently as a threat.<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"> <br>
<br>
"Don't even think about it!"</span> She glared daggers at Chandra for a moment. However, after a few moments to calm down and no one touching her, her shoulders relaxed as she regained her cool.  She adjusted her posture back to how she was before as well.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Please do not squeeze my tail like that again, it wasn't pleasant." </span>Shion cleared her throat afterwards, not realizing that some of her words were incomprehensible to people as she closed the distance between her and Scylla. She placed a hand on her shoulder while the other drew near her reddened cheek. Using her <b>[Magic - F]</b> a gentle glow emanated from her palm as it soothed the stinging sensation in Scylla's face before she stepped away once the redness was cleared. She gave a small smirk to the witch.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm not doing that for you next time."</span> She stated. Now that she could think straight again, she tried to address everyone again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Now that I can think clearly again, Iberis, might I borrow some of your time once we decide on a direction forward?"</span> She kindly asked of the young mage. She didn't want to deprive them of their "leaders," Chandra and Sophia had just separated for some private talk, and Iberis hadn't caused her any...<i>issues</i> now, so she seemed like the least problematic to ask.</div>

It seemed that everyone else had been handling the exchange well enough, Iberis might have been able to offer up knowledge on the undead (She certainly could have) but even then it was dubious what this informant was trying to do with all of this knowledge. Under normal circumstances she would have just assumed that an informant they were meeting would have already been sated, but not this one. Scylla did a great job explaining the undead situation from what they knew as far as Iberis could tell, but even then she didn't plan on sharing herself with Scylla being so generous already. There was no reason that this informant needed to know what Iberis had learned from Auldlich as far as what she was concerned.<br>
<br>
 Thankfully the group got the information they needed as Iberis listened intently to what Chima had to say when questions were asked. This had been successful even with the less than ideal behavior from <i>some</i> of the group to say the least. Finding herself a bit surprised at the reaction which Shion gave intially at her tail being felt only more so when Scylla decided to squeeze it of all things, which had clearly been the wrong move, the strike clearly not intending to be particularly harmful in nature, as she almost had to stop herself from giggling at what had just transpired, thankfully she managed well enough.<br>
<br>
On the plus side  Iberis had managed to contribute in reassuring the informant at least that the likelihood of her desires being fulfilled was at least there between them, since Iberis was certain that the group could indeed  carry out this justice on the evil she spoke of.<br>
<br>
Of course the details they heard weren't exactly the least complex, there of course seemed to be caveats around every corner that iberis could see, risks. All Iberis  could really do was hope that everyone made it out safely and whatever Kalina was getting in exchange for assisting with this problem would be worth while to her at the end of the day.<br>
<br>
On the topic of Chandra asking what they should do next, honestly given how much Cayde handled and the others did, she thought it might be wise given she was the least experienced there,  to hear what they had to say on the matter,  as she just didn't feel as qualified on the situation to give the most definitive direction, but even so she was going to give feed back.<br>
<br>
"Yeah..there's quite a bit to go over to say the least, I guess we need to balance what seems feasible, particularly now knowing what happened with Sverre."<br>
<br>
<br>
She then turned to Shion a bit surprised, looking up at her, before a smile formed once more, nodding reassuringly.<br>
<br>
 <br>
"Oh..uh me? Sure. Whatever you want to say, I'll be all ears."<br>
<br>
<br>
She said, very curious as to what she wanted to talk to her about.</div>

Even as Morana 'willingly' relayed the info to Chima, Cayde still felt a knot twist in his stomach. Her compliance had to be a lie, he thought. She <i>knew</i> he'd made a mistake. Somewhere behind those eyes, there <i>had</i> to be some sort of disappointment. Some kind of newfound hatred <i>he'd</i> created. No amount of apologies would fix that. He should've thought of something else. He should've said something differently. That would've been the right choice. Nothing would've gone wrong if he'd only been better.<br>
<br>
The thoughts lingered long after Chima departed, ricocheting inside his mind, getting louder with each bounce. He shook them out. Just look on the bright side, he told himself. They had more information now. It didn't matter <i>how</i> he got it, right? It all started to sound convincing until he heard Shion ask a question. He felt tense as he faced her, his words already starting to catch in his throat. It shouldn't be this hard to answer. All he had to say was say the right thing. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I-I wasn't <i>trying</i> to offend Morana. It was just... Chima was holding all this information hostage, and I <i>had </i>to-"</span> </b>Cayde shut his mouth, the words repeating in his head. There it was again. Diverting the blame - making <i>excuses</i>. Behavior that should've been left in the past. Hadn't he changed since then? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"No, never mind,"</span> </b>He said solemnly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I was wrong. I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry, Shion," </span></b>He peered over his shoulder at Morana.<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> <b>"And for what it's worth, I'm sorry, Morana," </b></span><br>
<br>
With a sigh, Cayde turned away from both, fumbling for the mask on his hip. He nearly dropped it once the sound of a slap reached his ears. The talk of squeezing tails was just as bewildering, too. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"What the hell?"</span> </i></b>He thought, spinning on his heels. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wait...don't tell me it was..." </span></i></b>The thought finished itself as he saw Shion mending Scylla's cheek, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Yup." </b></span><br>
<br>
Before he knew it, Cayde was howling with laughter. It felt <i>genuine</i> this time. And the thoughts, they'd vanished too! <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"HA! I should've warned you, Shion!" </b></span>He said between breaths, shaking his head, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Scylla sees something fluffy. She just can't help herself!" </b></span>Cayde sighed and wiped a tear from his eye. He didn't how Scylla could do it. After <i>months, </i>how could she still be this bubbly? It was like she hadn't thought about changing at all. How was she so good at being <i>her? </i>It almost felt like magic at this point. There <i>had</i> to be a trick to it, right? Maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask later...<br>
<br>
Eventually, Cayde calmed down, affixing his mask back onto his face. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright, I needed that..." </b></span>He faced Kalina, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>" Okay, I think we should <i>still </i>prioritize finding Sverre. He's still got the information we need, and with the thrall hunting him, he's in even more danger. We've got to get to him before she does," </b></span>He said before turning to face the group, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We <i>could</i> extract some info from her if we end up meeting her, but all we know is that she may have another agenda, and for some reason, she spares certain people..." </span></b><br>
<br>
He shrugged his shoulders, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>" Maybe she only hurt people who <i>actively </i>interfere with her goals? I'd say we brainstorm on the way to Third Factory Street," </b></span></div>

Sophia tilted her head when the lady left, thinking about the thrall. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Well, we'll need to watch our backs to make sure that we aren't taken by surprise. As long as we aren't, I don't think that we'll fall to a thrall."</span> She reached up and finally took out her crossbow, checking it over in preparation for any fights ahead as she ignored the little spat going on over a beast girl's tail. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"I think we should go to the vampire hunters, personally. They might have a bit more info than the gal we dealt with. Or specifically, we should try to find the person who got away. We might be able to get a description or something from them."</span> She paused before saying, <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"By the way, anyone have any medical experience?"</span><br>
<br>
She turned and walked over to Morana, reaching out and tapping her on the chest. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Oh, and please don't give me another person to look out for. I'd rather not have to deal with watching a forgiven murderer along with the murderers we're looking for, alright? We're doing this to help you and your boss, after all."</span> She tilted her head before turning and walking over to Kalina, getting close to her side and somewhat leaning on the taller girl, a frown plain on her face.​</div></div>

After being mesmerized by Shion's tail, she couldn't help but squeeze it. Her purple nailed fingers suddenly quivered as she forced her hands to easy up, it was a rather irresistible feeling she had never experienced. However, much to her misfortune, she'd suddenly look up when an angry hand smacked her across the face! The witch's face would turn in the opposite direction taking a step back and falling to her knees as her nerves rushed to a stinging feeling on her cheek. "<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">OW!!" </span>She exclaimed as she held her cheek, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What was that for??!!"</span> She cried,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "I.. I just.. I just.. couldn't help myself!"</span> She said incredulously as she nearly couldn't believe what she had just done. Her teary orbs then hopelessly shot towards Cayde, who didn't help the situation by laughing hysterically, well, at least she made him laugh.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Wh-what are you laughing at?!"</span> She pleaded as she covered her face, then she repeated Caydes words her head bowed down looking at the cobbled ground, thinking that if repeated his words it would somehow justify her actions, <span style="color: #9365b8">"I can't help myself! I can't I can't I can't!" </span>Then a hand would rest on her shoulder, making the witch look up quickly,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Huh?" </span>She said as another hand would come over her face.<br>
<br>
When Shion used magic, she'd only feel a transfer of mana, but a slight smile would peek through her tears like the sun after a rainy day. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hm!"</span> She closed her eyes happily before placing her own hand over hers on the witches cheek using [Healing F]. <i>She loves me already! </i>She thought to herself, before opening her eyes and getting up nodding at the foxes remark. She'd wipe her tears away quickly and gave her a joyous nod with a thumbs up before her attacker turned around.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Okay!"</span> A purple nailed finger would come over her bottom lip. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"So I’ll be more gentle next time?” </span><br>
<br>
The comments made by Chima prompted a bit of curiosity with the witch. Although she had read about Necromancy and the undead, the various rituals, the shattering of a mages soul, the excruciating process of corrupting ones flow of mana as they attuned to the darker magics. Was it possible to manipulate both while still maintaining ones sanity? Surely, Scylla felt completely confident, having experienced so much trauma and violence hadn't dampened her spirits one bit. Raising the dead, or anything regarding these occult magics were surely just another test, another challenge, another check mark on her resume for when she returned to the academy. She'd occasionally steel a glance at Iberis when Chima spoke, full well knowing that Iberis had this very kind of affinities. A part of Scylla was excited to see how Iberis took care of such a situation, if her magics were in fact universal in that way, there were lots and lots of empty boxes in her mind to check off!<br>
<br>
When mention of Third Factory Street would come up, Scylla looked over to Chandra playfully annoyed, pointing to herself as if saying, 'I'm the leader here though!' She shook her head as her arms crossed taking a step forward with her eyes closed. She cleared her throat,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Ahem! If I may speak as 'I'm obviously the leader here, how about we pay a visit to this scrap yard of the undead?"</span> She looked at those in her party, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You see, it 'strikes' me.." </span>she glanced at Shion, <span style="color: #9365b8">"..as a very real possibility that the number of undead there could be rising. I would never wish for you all to experience a massive army of undead corpses. One alone is one thing, but an entire horde of them is something else! I would rather rule that out, I mean.. It wouldn't hurt to just check it out?" </span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)">She shrugged as her hands raised a bit. </span><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"How about a vote eh? All in favor?"</span><span style="color: rgb(239, 239, 239)"> She looked towards </span><span style="color: #efefef">Sophia, gesturing her to raise her hand as she rose her own. She then looked at Cayde,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Searching for Sverre is certainly an equally important priority. Either one would likely have benefits.. and well.. consequences too."</span> She shrugged once more as she moved her blonde curls from her face, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Who knows these things!"</span></span></div>

Kalina jumped back a bit in surprises when she got snarled and growled at in a language she couldn't make heads or tails out of. Her entire plan to play cute, shy and innocent to get an invitation to pet some tail was thoroughly disrupted by it. Not only that, she'd now be unable to ask again for as long as she was playing 'Chandra' as a shy person would never dare to even consider mentioning it again after being so thoroughly snarled at. What a waste. Their leader had taken away a precious opportunity, which called for revenge.<br>
<br>
For now, she'd just play the part. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm s-s-s-s-s-orry...”</b></span> She stammered at Shion (Deception D), pretending to be seriously scared of her. Truth be told, even the 'real' her had been a little intimated by the sudden snarling. After all, for a split second, it'd made her worry that her true identity had been uncovered and that Shion was about to go feral over it. The latter didn't seem to be the case, but still, perhaps she should be more weary from now on. On the other hand, Shion seemingly taking a liking to Iberis was a good sign. A friend of a friend was someone less likely to murder her should she be uncovered as a monster, after all. Iberis was pulling her weight already, in that regard.<br>
<br>
When Cayde mentioned Scylla's inability to resist the fluffy, a memory from the Marshes resurfaced. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“She did constantly cling onto Abha, whenever possible...”</b></span> She recalled the proud bunny paladin having been reduced to a cuddle-bunny underneath the weight of Scylla's affections. It'd been quite the sight.<br>
<br>
His next words were a lot more serious. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I agree. Besides, if we get to him first, we could even use it to lure in the thrall later, right? Such as by pretending to keep him somewhere?”</b></span> She suggested, trying to think ahead a bit. On the topic of the thrall, his suggestion was intriguing. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Perhaps, although that'd make it difficult, wouldn't it? Even trying to extract information from her might be seen as actively interfering...”</b></span> There was something she figured might be at play, but... was it safe to tell Cayde without risking to reveal her cover? Perhaps not. She'd head over to get beside him in order to whisper it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Between you and me, I think vampires might have some sort of control over the thralls they make. At least, I've heard the stronger ones of our kind are capable of such a thing. Perhaps she's been given a lot of commands that she can't break, but is otherwise trying to resist, such as by letting people go that don't seem to related to any of her commands?”</b></span> After what Cayde suggested, that was the best theory she could come up with. However, for Chandra to know such things was a bit odd, so she figured it'd be best to whisper it to him first.<br>
<br>
As for Scylla's suggestion, she shook her head. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Wouldn't... she need new corpses... to make the number rise?”</b></span> She replied, a little more in the act of 'Chandra' but still trying to get her point across. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I d-doubt that she'd just get... them. So... it shouldn't b-become m-massive, right?”</b></span> Besides, even if it did, she knew they'd handle it. They'd battled so many undead that wiping out armies of them was becoming their usual business, or so it felt. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“B-besides... if those w-were, Sverre's... men... maybe he'll want to... come with?”</b></span> She suggested. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“For... closure.”</b></span> The latter had a bit of a pained tone to it, as she was speaking about the 'closure' she'd gotten from ending Renee's life. It was still a big wound on her mind and soul, but she felt like if she hadn't done it or had someone else do it, it'd have been festering on top just being there. This... as it was now, it might be able to heal.<br>
<br>
Finally, she felt Sophia leaning against her all of a sudden. It brought a bit of a smile to her lips, as she couldn't help from putting a hand on the Fae's shoulder. That said... the closeness also made her wonder when she'd find a moment to get a meal. She wasn't necessarily dying of thirst, but being surrounded by so many folk who's blood she'd tasted, most of which could be considered to be like five-star meals, it did make her feel a growing desire...<br>

She'd been ready to conclude her judgement on everyone in this group, only to be thoroughly surprised. Not in the least by Shion. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You... care?”</b></span> She'd ask, for just two words breaking the vibe she'd been giving off almost completely, before quickly restoring back to being 'herself' like before. Or well, she would have, were it not for Cayde apologising as well. Then again, she was more quick to turn that around. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'll have to try alternatives, as this means my enemies will start messing with supply lines. Prevent it from being made, mess with it to get me poisoned, steal it, alter it, you name it. It'll be a hassle, but if it's for the sake of the mission... then so be it.”</b></span> Her words, however, sounded as emotionless as always. Something in her body language suggest it wasn't just the practical difficulty this brought her that had likely angered her and that 'so be it' was something forced out more than said in honesty.<br>
<br>
Upon Sophia's words, she turned her glazed out eyes towards the Fae. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I know my mission, Fae.”</b></span> She'd snap back. The toneless voice not suggesting anger, but the words and shortness of them certainly doing so. Add to it the fact that even the Fae went after 'those' and she was starting to feel like these folk were just trying to get her to snap. The witch sticking her head there might've just been the witch's weird perversion, but the Fae also going at it...No, She had a mission to accomplish here. She'd just try to deal with them at their own pace. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“The next person touching me there will be charged in full.”</b></span> She didn't say in what currency, but her clawed fingers moving about suggested it might as well be a price in blood or suffering.<br>
<br>
Finally, she spotted another opportunity to have some 'fun' in this group. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm voting on his ideas.”</b></span> She said, pointing a mechanised finger at Cayde. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“His head seems to be filled with more than tail-chasing.”</b></span> Even with a toneless voice, that part seemed to be a clear attempt at getting back at Scylla for sticking her head where it didn't belong a few moments ago.<br>

After the sort-off, but not really exactly 'consensus' the group made, they would end up in Third Factory Street just before noon. The place was dreary at best. The many factories alongside the streets were billowing out enough smoke to make the streets seem dark, even in the middle of the day. Some artificial light helped folk find their path, although said folk were seemingly in a constant hurry, as if hoping to leave this place as quickly as possible. Nobody wanted to stick around here for longer than needed, that much was clear.<br>
<br>
There were multiple factories that stood out, such as a factory dedicated to mass-producing gears, one that that made steam powered engines and even one that made some sort of spring-loaded crossbows. Most of these were busy and guarded. One name stood out, 'Robotics &amp; Steelwork Inc.', as it was a place mentioned by Chima before. It also seemed to have a laxer security in comparison to other places, for whatever reason. Another that stood out was 'Aquaculture Labs', as it seemed to have been abandoned for years and for a place with 'aquaculture' in then ame, there seemed to be preciously little water around. Most other places had people coming in and out frequently or were more heavily guarded by some constructs. Others had been bolted shut firmly, metal places covering windows and doors. To someone with a heightened sense of smell, like Shion, breathing in deeply was not advised. There was a plethora of chemical-ish, smokey and very unpleasant scents in the air.</div>

Shion looked over to Cayde after his laughter subsided. She was a trite miffed by his amusement of her suffering, but she could tell the man was tense, she just wasn't sure why. She let it go for now. Instead her sigh revealed a smile.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Any warnings you want to give me <i>proactively </i>now instead of reactively before we proceed?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">She then heard something peculiar come from Morana's direction as her ears twitched. Was that a break in her hollow existence Shion just felt? Was there more to extrapolate from that, could she actually <b>[Empathize]</b> with her? She looked in Morana's direction, still finding it difficult to look at all that machinery but she fought her instincts to recoil. Perhaps a different approach now. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I have no reason to withhold my honesty from you, so here's simply how I feel, Morana. Your mechanical implants disturb me, I have never seen a human-or any creature for that matter-lack that which was gifted to them at birth. Regardless of that, you are a person just like the rest of us, and you are presently not trying to kill us, you're well-being is as important to me as everyone else here. I am sorry if I gave the wrong impression earlier, I...can be slow to trust at times with things I don't understand."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion looked around their surroundings for a moment. She still didn't like it, it still gave her a tinge of sadness. Nevertheless, it was people's home, even if she didn't like it. She looked back to Morana.</span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "It is possible for those who disagree with one another to still work towards a common goal. Your comfort may not be needed to help us due to the Baron's orders, but that doesn't mean we can't try to be as close as that together as we can."<br>
<br>
"Actually, speaking of comfort."</span> Shion turned her head to Scylla who just mentioned she'll be more gentle next time. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Let's start with asking nicely first, Scylla. If you can do that, I guarantee the next time is likely to end in less injury." </span>Shion stated her conditions clearly to the witch loud enough for Chandra to hear too since she remembered her saying something in her small surge of fury.<br>
<br>
Then the conversation turned to their next course of action, and Shion did her best to remember everything she'd heard so far. The Baron hired everyone here, Morana was his bodyguard or "Hound," and they had about three reasonable locations to visit. Shion had no interest in the morgue, seeing bodies more dead than this city to her wasn't an appealing prospect. Something of even greater interest piqued her ears and her attention though. Chandra, once again, started showing much more confidence out of the blue. Not only that, she seemed <i>very</i> knowledgeable about thralls, lots of semantic debate over what could've happened with its mind. What was even more curious was that what little she knew of Chandra, was she really someone to use a person as bait, even if it was just a ploy?<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, she decided to weigh in herself. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I think going to see Sverre first is the best option we have. At the very least keeping him from potentially getting killed seems the most pressing matter since it sounds like the hunters and the undead aren't going anywhere fast."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">After reaching a decision with the others, meeting with Sverre seemed to be the course of action they agreed on. She then lightly tapped Iberis on the arm and gestured for her to follow. She walked towards Chandra with Iberis. She placed a hand on Chandra's shoulder.</span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "We'll take a detour, we won't be long, promise, and before I forget Chandra, I am sorry I lashed at you earlier. You did nothing wrong and I was caught up in the moment."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">As she walked away with the mage in tow, her nose twitched as she caught a very peculiar whiff from Chandra as she fully passed her. What was that...it wasn't a body odor...no, it smelled like something in nature. </span><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>A flower...hm...rose, is it?</i></span><span style="color: null"> Perfume? Shion stopped for a moment, wanting to turn around and tease the woman if she was prepared for a fight or a date, but she stopped herself. She played it off, looking over her shoulder and letting Iberis catch up so they were walking side by side now as they continued off. She closed her eyes for a moment in contemplation. Chandra was surrounded by friends, and yet, Shion was here...was her presence making her want to hide something? Did some of these friends of hers also not know whatever she was hiding? Her eyes opened again, not wanting to keep Iberis longer than the walk to rejoin everyone would take.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Forgive me Iberis, I wish I could have explained myself before we separated."</span><span style="color: null"> Shion stated as they walked. She tried to keep the scenery from getting to her again, seems it was going to be hard to tolerate this place. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I would like to ask for some basic bearings moving forward, Iberis. I've been able to put some things together listening in on the conversation around me, but I have been worried to speak my mind too much lest I be challenged with information I do not possess. My assumption is that this was requested through a guild and you all gathered for your own reasons. Might I ask how accurate that statement is, and for any information that might be helpful regarding it?"</span> She should be specific, she didn't want any knots unnecessarily tied. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Things like...how you got this request, a forest or two I could name if I need some kind of origin, and how much was mentioned in the request before the Baron spoke with us? If there's anything else you can think of that'd help me I'd greatly appreciate it Iberis."</span><br>
<br>
Shion smiled at the young mage as they walked. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"In return, I'd be happy to answer a question or two you might have, as long as they won't delay us <i>too</i> long."</span> She chuckled a bit with her small tease.<br>

Cayde nodded in agreement as Kalina laid out her plans. Only on the mention of potentially using Sverre as bait did he stop. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Good plan, but let's hope she'll stick around long enough for us to find her without Sverre,"</span> </b>His eyes darted to Morana and back to Kalina, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Don't wanna force him to do anything he doesn't to do,"</span> </b><i>Just like before</i>, he thought, the unpleasant memory of the information exchange replaying in his mind. It still felt awful - making someone divulge their secrets like that. And forcing someone to act as a lure would be just as shameful. The old him wouldn't have done it. New him shouldn't either. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But..."</span> </b>Cayde added, raising a finger, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We should still ask him, and if he's willing, I'd say we go for it."<br>
<br>
 </span></b>Kalina's input on vampire thralls felt much more agreeable. He wondered why he hadn't asked about that earlier. All this time, he'd almost forgotten Kalina <i>was</i> a vampire. No wonder she'd know this. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I see,"</span> </b>He replied, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"If questioning her is out of the plan, we could still try to appeal to her rebel side,"</span> </b>He nodded covertly, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We may not get much, but it could get her off our backs if we do end up meeting."</span> </b>Then, Cayde turned to Scylla, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, you're right. Undead walking around isn't a good sign, <i>especially</i> if we know our vampire knows necromancy. Plus, I don't doubt there might be something she's hiding in there..." </span></b>A small smile formed on his lips  as he looked to Kalina, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Assuming our thrall doesn't give chase, we'll grab Sverre and head there to put his men to rest. For closure, as you said." </b></span><br>
<br>
The discussion started to stir a sense of excitement in him. And it was immediately crushed as he heard Morana double down on her disappointment. Cayde's eyes fell to the floor, heavy with guilt. Somehow it felt <i>worse</i> hearing her say that aloud. It sounded like there was <i>no</i> chance of redemption at all. He looked at Shion as she tried empathizing with Morana. She knew what words worked, he thought. She probably was <i>great</i> at getting out of situations like this. If only he knew, too. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'll try to make it up to you,"</span> </b>Cayde weakly bowed his head to Morana, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You don't have to forgive me. But give me time. S'all I need," </span></b><br>
<br>
He left it at that, falling into pace as they made their way to Third Way Factory Street. He recognized the name of one of the buildings, 'Robotics &amp; Steelworks Inc.' Chima mentioned something like that. Cayde pointed towards it, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"This is it,"</span> </b>He turned to Scylla, a slightly playful tone in his voice, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Lady Scylla, if you'd like to guide us through..." </span></b><br>
<br>
A good distraction, he hoped, as he slid beside Kalina. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You holding up alright, Chandra?" </b></span>He asked, the playful drawl still in his voice, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"All this talk of vampires and undead... oooh. Kinda scary, y'know?" </span></b>Cayde chuckled, but it was short-lived. Morana's words still felt fresh in his head. The rationale-consuming thoughts were still there, somewhere. The laugh wasn't enough. He needed a friend. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Look, can I ask you something?"</span></b> He whispered, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Did I do the right thing there? With Chima and Morana?"</b></span></div>

Iberis was on standby listening to what everyone had to say. Cayde made a good point, they were already in this far, this mission was going to be risky either way. SowWhile she hadn't explicitly expressed it her opinion internally was that it would probably be a good idea to go find  Sverre. There really wasn't a completely safe route at this point, they were dealing with dangerous individuals, in a fairly unknown place as far as Iberis was concerned.<br>
<br>
  Iberis continued to watch the on brand behavior from Scylla and the various reactions, not quite expecting one from Kalina in "Chandra' mode that was so clear, it looked like Scylla's screwing around was only going to be tolerated here so long between Kalina and Shion, even if the reactions were justifiable it was all still rather interesting to Iberis, still finding a humorous side in the whole ordeal even in such a serious setting like this, even Sophia apparently getting a bit of heat. Perhaps it was a bit of a repressed memory from Iberis's past life taking hold where she could remember these sorts of scenarios from romcoms in anime..Even so her mind was still unclear on the details even after Marizopa's comments, it hadn't all come to her, fuzzy imagery, who knew even if what that witch had said was true...<br>
<br>
 Then there was that digging fatality at the end on Scylla from Chandra in that she legitimized what Cayde said despite Scylla and Cayde saying similar things. Any of the soft talking and interactions between people when they got close were lost on Iberis thanks to her not having enhanced hearing, nor attempting to eavesdrop out in the open like this.<br>
<br>
While being relatively quite Iberis nodded her head at that.<br>
<br>
"Yeah, I think with all of the evidence laid out and the reasoning here even with the risks, I can agree with everyone whose suggesting we go off  and  pursue Sverre, it just seems like a logical move to me."<br>
---<br>
Naturally Iberis went along with Shion like she said was going to earlier after the discussion, having no issues with taking a detour with this person, normally Iberis would be rather skeptical of someone who appeared and said they were from another world just like that, but the fact that everyone else seemed to have no issue with Shion, people who Iberis felt had better judgment in some ways than perhaps herself, it made her feel more at ease with trusting Shion. Truthfully Shion hadn't done anything that made Iberis feel like she was a hostile so far.<br>
<br>
As they were far away enough from the group but not too far now, Iberis was ready to speak to Shion, still occasionally glancing around their ever strange surroundings.<br>
<br>
"Oh is that all?"<br>
<br>
She found herself smiling back a bit at the slight teasing which she picked up on toward the end.<br>
<br>
 She inquired, before going into thought for a moment, looking up at Shion, since Shion was a deal taller than Iberis.<br>
<br>
" I think I can understand where you are coming from, coming from a new world and all that..after all you've only known us for such a brief period of time, but I think I can help clarify some things." She said.<br>
<br>
Of course Iberis was not going to spill the beans about Chandra's true identity, there was no way she could risk that at this moment regardless of how friendly Shion was, that was something only Kalina should share, so while she wasn't lying that she could clarify some things; Iberis was going to be selective in what she chose to share.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Anyway, It is true that a guild here in Widersia asked for assistance with this because this vampire is quite dangerous, but that is not the primary reason why I came. I mainly came here assist Chandra. Chandra  is someone who I've been through quite a bit with. I originally met her as someone who was close to one of my friends at the academy as a mutual of sorts."<br>
<br>
"So as soon as Chandra said that she wanted my help to go on her quest here of course I was more than willing to come help." Iberis said, the sentence having a double senitment to it, since Chandra was going on her own 'quest' in her own right that she was helping with her in addition to what the adventurer guild had asked.<br>
<br>
"As for Cayde,  I have not met him before, but Scylla I am also quite close to as you might have figured out earlier, since Chandra and Scylla both seem to trust the guy I have a strong feeling that he's a good guy and  on our side, either way. From what i could gather he's worked with Chandra and Scylla before."<br>
<br>
"Sophia I am also less familiar with, but as you can imagine given her..feelings to put it lightly, toward Chandra I believe she also came here to help."<br>
<br>
"Onto your other question, about what I knew before the Baron spoke, I really only knew what Chandra had told me before coming here that there was a vampire running amuck, and to meet up with her near where you came through that portal.  She also mentioned that there were potentially beneficial connections here that could be made taking on the quest. Don't get me wrong I'm also here because this is a just goal to help with when so many lives have been taken already it has to be put to a stop.. it just so happens to be a benefit that  this quest just  happens to  be in a place of interest that's so different than most of the known world, with so many sources of knowledge and people of interest."<br>
<br>
Iberis paused for a moment, before continuing.<br>
<br>
"With all of this said, I knew that it was risky business I was getting into, but when it's all said and  done It'll be worth it."<br>
Iberis said, her face looking a bit more determined with those declarative  words, telling the truth while not revealing anything problematic or out of the ordinary sounding  in her mind.<br>
<br>
"I hope that that..helps contextualize some of the group dynamics a bit better  and why we're here."<br>
<br>
<br>
"I guess for you, I could ask, why did you..decide to help us? I don't think anyone would have batted an eye if you went on your way from here after landing, I'm just  I'm not sure if I was dropped into a new world I'd want to get involved in something  dangerous  like this so quickly, not that I don't find your bravery admirable by any means.." Iberis inquired.<br>

"And I guess another question, so based on what you said earlier it sounded like you have monsters and humans in your world, I'm assuming you also have those who are like yourself..were there any others from where you come from? I could gather you probably don't have any [constructs] based on your reaction, but here for instance in this world we have Fae I think you might like it in the See it has a lot more nature, though I must admit I've heard some of the fae can be kind of snobby at times toward non-fae outsiders.." <br>
<br>
Iberis trailed off a bit toward the end, hoping that these questions were reasonable enough to Shion.</div>

Shion wouldn't have heard all of the conversation between Kalina and Cayde, as some of it was whispered and her hearing wasn't as sharp as her nose, but she was correct that Kalina tended to forget being 'shy' at times. One such a time was Shion's reply, as it was very difficult to resist her desire to test Shion out a little bit. With effort, she managed to turn her desire into an act that might fit Chandra just well enough to work. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That's all.. alright. I'm glad you don't... hate me. Perhaps... I... I... I'd be brave... brave enough to... a-ask...”</b></span> She stammered (Deception D), as she was simply too curious to see how Shion would react to someone approaching her in such a shy way.<br>
<br>
As for the scent, it was Kalina's way to disguise any scent of death that might be on her due to her nature, as well as to masque the fact that she'd be unable to exhume more natural scents (like sweat) in circumstances where doing so would be normal. Such as in walking through a city in full armour. It was subtle enough to go unnoticed by most, except those with a better than average sense of smell.<br>

Genuine surprise, in a positive manner, was the emotion Shion could sense in Morana. Not only that, she noticed that it stemmed from the fact that Morana likely hadn't been shown genuine care about her well-being or comfort in a very long time, nor that she had ever had even the slightest expectation that this group would be different. In fact, as Shion kept talking, it was clear that Shion's previous weariness of Morana was exactly what she was used to and that she had almost grown comfortable with it. For Shion to break through that behaviour had truly caught Morana off-guard, no matter how quickly she'd started hiding so again to the others. Shion would notice there was still a fair bit of confusion in her and would even suspect that Morana was genuinely interested in Shion's words and actions.<br>
<br>
None of that, however, made it to the surface-level, where Morana's glazed out eyes and robotic, toneless voice had gotten back into their routine. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“They're merely replacing what I lost.”</b></span> She replied to the comments about her mechanical parts. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Killing you would be detrimental to the mission, so long as you're not hindering or endangering it.”</b></span> She replied to the second part, as if trying to suggest she'd have no qualms about doing so otherwise. The latter, for what it was worth, sounded scarily truthful and perhaps even a little eager. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You are naïve, but if that's how you wish to be, so be it.”</b></span> She eventually concluded with an insult, but Shion could sense a hint of curiosity in there, as if Morana was curious to see how much longer or further Shion would show such kindness. All in all, it was an odd mixture of violent tendencies, being used to being treated as a tool and some genuine interest in folk seemingly treating her as more than that.<br>

She was surprised when Cayde pulled her aside. Yet when he made his playful comment, she was quick to answer in kind. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You've got no idea how much I'm suffering Cayde~ So many delicious witches, a brilliantly tasting Fae and good quality magic users all around and I can't even get a taste of any of them... It's horrible...” </b></span> She'd pretend to be thoroughly devastated by it, before giggling. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Yeah, I've heard vampires can be real scary when they grow thirsty~ Best to prevent that from happing, right? Let's see who's gonna be the first to volunteer~”</b></span> She teased back, then leaned in further. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“My bet's on Sophia, perhaps Scylla, unless you want to beat them to it?”</b></span><br>
<br>
That was enough teasing though, as he got a lot more serious all of a sudden. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Of course.”</b></span> She matched his tone. His question... she fell silent. That was a difficult one. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hmm... If you were to sell out the fact I was a vampire in exchange for information without my consent, I'd probably never forgive you. It seems like the information about her drugs was similar to her, so... I'm not sure. She was offered to us to help us and we got a lot of information for it, which will be very useful. We didn't break laws or rules and had no real reason to be kind to her, so... you didn't do much wrong there.”</b></span> Still, saying he was completely in the right didn't seem correct either. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I guess it depends on how you want to see her? If she's just a tool to you, like how she was handed to us, you acted in the best way possible. If you want to treat her as more of a person, you might've messed up.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Still, there was a silver lining. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Although, in the latter case, I'd say what you do now is a lot more important. I might've said I'd never forgive you if you sold me out, but if you'd try to atone seriously, I'd perhaps be able to still count you as a friend? In her case, you weren't formerly acquainted, so that might be a bit more difficult... but you're an alchemist and she's using some sort of breathing potion, right? If her main issue is that she won't be able to get it safely any-more, you could help her get a new and better one, right? That way, you could even pretend that was your plan from the get-go and that she ended up being able to sell Chima false information that'll make her enemies waste time on targetting supplies that she doesn't even need any-more! It'll be a little bit of a lie, but I bet that'd be able to set things straight~”</b></span> She was pretty happy with the solution she'd figured out, wondering if Cayde would agree with her.<br>
<br>
However, now that he was here... <span style="color: #800000"><b>“On another note, what you said about the thrall... I have an idea. I've got another identity I can use against her. However... it's... ehm. It's pretty intense. Like, that of an actual 'monster' monster, so to say. If I use it, Morana and Shion will undoubtedly wonder if 'Chandra' is real and not only that, the more 'real' I play the monster, the more likely they think I really am one. Not only would I need them to trust me, I'd also need them to play along. Still, I bet the thrall wouldn't attack another monster, especially not one that's offering to bring in new people to be turned into vampires. I could pretend I've recruited you for the thrall's boss. Then, she'd definitely not attack us, right?”</b></span> The plan was pretty darn risky, but could have a lot of reward in turn. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Please think about it and on how we'd be able to keep Shion and Morana in check if we use it, but for now, we should focus on finding Sverre.”</b></span><br>
<br>
On the topic of Sverre... Once the group got back together, 'Chandra' spoke up again. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“So... We're going into the Robotics factory.. then?”</b></span> Scylla was meant to take the lead, although it felt more like Cayde was leading her by sending her in, so she'd rather double-check what they were doing.</div>

Shion smiled at Chandra.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Simply curiosity will never infuriate me. I simply had...<i>complications.</i>" </span>Shion glanced Scylla's way before she started off with Iberis.<br>
<br>
Just before the two of them fully separated though, Morana began speaking to Shion. The kitsune placed a hand on Iberis' shoulder as she half-turned to look Morana's direction. Perhaps to Morana's further surprise, she was greeted by a smile.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "It is easy to kill those you don't agree with, it is much harder to understand them. I've lived a long time, that's a lot of time to make mistakes...a lot of time to simply kill without understanding."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion looked skyward, her only respite in this city even if there were obnoxious fumes up there to greet her. Still the only place she could look with some form of familiarity. She then looked back to Morana. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I am simply trying to be better. What good does it do to make enemies?"</span><br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You all sound like you've been through much together. Your trust of Chandra must be great if her presence alone vouches for Cayde."</span> Shion smiled as she listened to Iberis, it warmed her heart to hear that she was around comrades that trusted each other so deeply. It also meant she needed to approach her concerns about Chandra carefully lest they think she was brewing hostility. She giggled as Iberis continued.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #2c82c9">"Sophia is quite the character, such dedication to Chandra...I used to have someone like that not too long ago..." <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Shion looking around their surroundings with Iberis and suddenly thinking on Olivia again brought her mood down for a moment as her ears depressed. </span><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Damnit Shion, stop...this isn't the time for that.</i></span></span><br>
<br>
Shion listened to the rest of what Iberis had to say in silence, trying to overcome her feelings. Then the young mage's questions came, finally, a distraction that'd put these thoughts aside. She chuckled a bit. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Where to start...hm...why did I choose to help?"</span> She thought on the question for a moment. No matter where her mind took her, one thing stood out.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"...It was fear. Fear of myself. You probably heard what I said to Morana on our way out Iberis, and I meant it. The truth of the matter is...my prejudices against humans burn deep, Iberis."</span> Shion explained to the mage, her voice growing remorseful as she continued. Suddenly, Shion's eyes began to glow a soft blue, and Iberis mind would begin to...see things. Feel things. Like she was living every word Shion described <b>[Reference Below]</b>.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I spent many years in my youth without a humanoid form, and unable to speak the common language of humans."</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">An image of a brown-furred fox with many majestic tails flowing behind her as she wandered a forest. Iberis' mind would feel peace.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Time and time again, humans came into the forests I called home, the land of the spirits I called friends...and took...and took...and <i>took! Without ever giving back!</i>"</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Shion sounded like she was losing her composure again. The images in Iberis' head turned into a storm of fury as she saw humanoid shapes cutting down trees, lighting fires, trying to hunt the very same multi-tailed fox she saw earlier.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"...So I killed every last one of them."</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">An eerie calm overcame the scene as she simply saw the fox surrounded by blood and indiscernible shapes. Luckily Shion seemed to be calming down now.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"It would take until adulthood for me to gain human speech and a humanoid form to match."</span> The scene began fading from Iberis' mind as she saw a figure that looked like Shion with many more tails than she currently possessed, but...she could feel the tears bubbling behind her own eyes as the imagery faded and the glow in Shion's eyes also faded.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #2c82c9"> "At first I gained this form you see to better tell any of you to leave before resorting to violence. It was a long, spiteful existence. Eventually, after meeting many, many well-intentioned humans, I began to change for the better. I started wanting to fill my days with joyful memories of those I've met rather than be overcome with contempt in my heart when my time to pass would finally come. Still...there is that darkest part of me that never forgave, and continues to condemn, humans for their selfish behaviors. I just...want to fight against that nature etched into my heart." <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Shion snapped back to reality, realizing she must've started rambling again.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #2c82c9"><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm so sorry Iberis, I didn't mean to be so long in the tooth with that story. In my age I tend to zone out sometimes when I tell stories, it's an awful habit of mine."</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"> Shion turned her attention to her other question and vowed to make this one much more brief. She seemed completely unaware of what she'd just done to the unsuspecting mage too.</span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #2c82c9"><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Do you mean kitsune, or spirit guardians? Yes to the former, not really to the latter. At least, not that I ever had the pleasure to meet. And no, nothing like this city devoid of nature was in my world...I could tolerate any city in my world before this place. Nevertheless, I would love to see this world's forests."</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"> Shion said to Iberis with an eager smile.</span></span><br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
<b>[Magic - F], [Telepathy - F], [Empathy - F]</b> - Iberis saw the vague images described and felt exactly how Shion was feeling while the images persisted.</div>

<br>
The witch had just finished wandering outloud when Shion replied to her seeminlgy mindless verbal pondering.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Oh? Permission! Right.. duh..” </span>She rolled her eyes, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..silly me, <i>boundaries </i>are crucial! Welp, sorry about that again miss fox!”</span> She’d close her comment with a heart shaped gesture, her purple fingernails almost glowing with delight.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing Chandras clinging she grew a bit bashful, tapping the tips of her index fingers together as she spoke, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Eheh, you remember that i see. Yeah, i don’t know what comes over me you know? I’ve always felt like someone with no weaknesses, but.. i guess this one is undeniable. I mean, cuddly things are so.. well.. cuddly!” </span>She wondered if Abha was still into the idea of hanging out for a baking party. The letter was actually still in her pocket. Perhaps she looked forward to it a little <i>too </i>much.<br>
<br>
Her eyes brightened at Caydes consideration although a bit incredulous, suddenly waking from a daydream,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Hm? I’m right?”</span> She shook her head quickly before repeating herself, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">”I mean, of course I’m right! I’m the leader!”</span> However after hearing everyone else not being on board with her suggestion she crossed her arms and mumbled with puckered lips. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Merh Merh Merh.. Just wait till we have a horde of undead at our heels chasing after cute vampires.. “oh no, Scylla help us..”</span> she mocked, pretending to be a small crowd of defenseless adventurers, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..if only we would have listened to that silly little witch!”</span> She exhaled with annoyance.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Can't wait to rub it in your face!"</span><br>
<br>
She sat on the ground until everyone else said their part. Still butt hurt, little did she know her floating quill and notepad were writing down her thoughts, which was a bunch of nonsensical insults at the universe.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Fiiiiiiine!” </span>She said after everyone’s suggestions.<br>
<br>
Upon being referred to by Cayde, Scylla perked up quickly. Standing up in a hurry,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Aha! Cayde gets it!”</span> She said confidently.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Right, and away we go!”</span> Her feet already moving forward towards Third Factory Street. But not before Morana made a threatening comment, much to Scyllas amusement she pursed her lips holding back laughter, her hands on her shivering belly as she giggled inside.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Phew.. don’t laugh.. don’t laugh.. ehm..”</span> she glanced at Cayde with watery eyes then forward. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“So.. hehe.. who has.. eek.. a good.. mm.. traveling song?”</span><br>
<br>
Surely she felt a bit responsible for Moranas annoyance, but, she just couldn’t help teasing a person who was incapable or unwilling to laugh or play. She was so monotone, which made it all the funnier.<br>
<br>
She was beginning to wonder if this whole leader thing was a good idea though, somewhere deep down inside, she had her reservations. However, she would do her best to keep up!</div>

Hearing Kalina's words felt surprisingly soothing in Cayde's mind. Her critique didn't sound as mortifying as he'd expected it to be. It left a lot of room for thought, and surely, he'd <i>have</i> to be more careful again. But there was no scorn there. She wasn't <i>trying</i> to make him the bad guy. Thinking of that felt oddly refreshing. As for her suggestion, Cayde gaped. How hadn't he thought about that earlier? All it'd take was just some alchemical elbow grease, a <i>little</i> white lie, and he'd be forgiven! The answer was <i>right </i>there! <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Holy- Kalina, you're a genius!"</span> </b>He whispered,  <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"God, what would I do without you?" </span></b><br>
<br>
After a soft chuckle, he paused. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Y'know, ever since I got back from the marshes, I've been <i>thinking</i> about myself a lot. And a lot about <i>her,</i> too. It gets... demotivating, at times...</span>" </b>His gaze looked past Kalina for a moment before quickly snapping back to her. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But at least I know you've still got my back. It means the world to me. <i>Thank you,</i>"</span> </b>He said, smiling, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You're a good friend, Kalina. I mean it."</span> </b>With that said, Cayde cleared his throat, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Okay, okay... If I get any more sappy, it'll get into my blood,"</span> </b>He said playfully, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Mind you, I still taste, and I quote: 'as bland as a potato.'" </span></b><br>
<br>
Then, just like that, it was back to business. Cayde's eyes shifted as he thought over Kalina's idea. <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">Could work... I'd say we share a plan with the others,"</span> </b>He explained, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"After we grab Sverre and take care of those undead, we'll all have a little meeting on how to confront the thrall. Then, I'll bring up using someone as a lure and choose you. After that, we'll discuss the part of you playing the vampire and <i>us</i> playing the recruits,</span>" </b>He nodded affirmatively, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"As long as we stay friendly to Shion and all come to an agreement, she'll stick with it. And as long as we give Morana her space, and don't do anything <i>too</i> shady, maybe she'll go with it, too."</span> </b>One thing was missing, though, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You should still let Sophia, Scylla, and Iberis know about your plan, just so they'll be more inclined to accept. Make sure they don't say anything about it <i>until</i> we have the meeting," </span></b><br>
<br>
A newfound strength coursing through him after the regrouping with the others, Cayde stepped forward, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yup, we'll head into the factory and try to see if we can find Sverre,"</span> </b>He clicked his tongue, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But, the baron did say he'd been missing for a while. Which means he could be in hiding. But all we've gotta do is ask around. <i>Someone</i> in there's got to have a clue as to where he might be," </span></b>Then, he looked to Scylla to bring them forward. There'd be more co-leading later. He needed to start thinking about that new recipe...</div>

<br>
At first Iberis smiled in response to what  Shion had to say on what she shared with her upon seeing Shion smile and sound positive. Yes indeed Iberis certainly felt that way herself, they really had been through  what felt like so much with those intense life or death situations that were ongoing. She also felt a bit more disarmed upon hearing Shion giggle regarding the Sophia situation.<br>
<br>
But even as that smile creeped along Iberis’s face it didn’t take long for it to turn to one which was significantly less happy, when she heard Shion mention that she had someone like that not long ago, which sounded like to Iberis that she no longer had someone who was like that for her..as she saw the ears come down too, Iberis couldn’t help but feel bad for Shion in that moment, looking back at her with a bit of a sad look.<br>
<br>
“Oh Shion…I had no idea” She said softly, at the implication.<br>
<br>
She tuned in when she heard the chuckle once again after she had spoke, and was curious what Shion was going to say next so it was only to her surprise when she found Shion saying the reason she decided to help was fear, The way she seemed to conduct herself didn’t suggest that outwardly so Shion did a great job of hiding that if what she said was true there. Iberis’s face shifted to a more serious one at the mention of that once more as the mood seemed to shift, never mind the bias which she just mentioned she had developed against humans.<br>
<br>
Even more surprisingly It looked like Iberis was going to go on another Auldlich like induced trip when Shion’s eyes glowed blue. As she could ‘see’ the scene unfold before her while hearing Shion’s voice. At this point while there were some similarities, Shion’s voice serving like a narrator's voice  was different then what Audlich had done with her seeing a first person view. As a result Iberis couldn’t help but wonder what magic was in play here to allow this to happen.<br>
<br>
Surprisingly the first vision didn’t seem so bad, almost relaxing even as she saw the beautiful fox imagery. But then she saw the more disturbing scene unfold before her with the humans moving in and destroying nature yet again. Iberis could certainly understand where Shion was coming from there with the imagery she saw, she was quite literally being hunted and the forest was being destroyed, something which Shion had made clear she had intended to protect.<br>
<br>
The next scene was quite disturbing with how everything became calm after the mess of shapes appeared, and there was blood. It was almost just as unsettling than the full show of madness that Iberis had seen thanks to Auldlich. Of course Iberis did not blame Shion here, it was self defense as far as she was concerned.<br>
<br>
Thankfully it shifted to something less disturbing with the scene of the look alike humanoid to Shion with many tails that had developed. Given the glow Iberis was under the impression that what Shion had done was intentional but the signs weren’t quite looking as direct that had been the case..<br>

Even as the visions ended the speech was an arguably heavy subject matter, that was bittersweet, Iberis was very focused on what Shion said there. It sounded like she wanted to continue to better herself, and try to focus on her current self while suppressing that part of her which sounded like it harbored very negative feelings toward humans for what they had done.<br>
<br>
“Oh no, Shion you’re fine really that’s a lot to have gone through, and I appreciate you sharing it with me..” Iberis replied softly.<br>
<br>
“Ah okay, so it sounds like there are more  differences between this world and yours, thank you for entertaining that question.”<br>
<br>
She replied as she had been quite curious, and it  sounded like she was right to assume there weren’t any constructs.<br>
<br>
“ And you’re certainly in luck then, not only  does  the See have great nature from what I have heard, but believe it or not  based on this type of place..” Iberis gestured around her for effect.<br>
<br>
“But actually much of this world is still unexplored or not  inhabited so there is plenty of land still largely untouched by people if you truly wanted to see something that’s largely been left to its natural devices.”<br>
<br>
Iberis wasn’t entirely sure what specific forests made the most sense so she didn’t answer on that part of it. Either way she thought the notion was a good one, everything about this setting made her feel on the  smaller side of things not only Shion’s taller stature but just how built up the environment  around them was.<br>
<br>
After clarifying that Iberis made a few steps closer to Shion,she looked side to side a bit shyly/self consciously with her baggy gaze  before extending her arms out as if to show she was offering Shion a hug.<br>
<br>
“I..just want to let you know that you won’t have to be afraid,  you aren’t alone in this Shion, no matter what’s happened in the past or that you’ve showed up under such unusually extreme circumstances,  we’ll get through all that’s to come good or bad, together okay?”<br>
She continued to speak in her softer tone.</div>

Sophia walked with the group, and now that they were away from the informant, her crossbow was firmly held in her arms, the fae decidedly not letting her guard down due to the possibility that the thrall may be coming along to deal with a loose end. She listened to the conversations going on around her, with her eyes slowly drifting over to Kalina and Cayde speaking off to the side. She watched them return, before moving to stand close to Kalina, seeming more at ease when closer to the vampire. Soon, however, her eyes drifted to Scylla, an eyebrow raising. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"Very interesting gal you made friends with. Almost seems to have ADHD or something of the sort.

When Scylla mentioned 'undead chasing after cute vampires', someone turned her attention towards her. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Why would you joke about such monsters being cute? Or why in the world would you suggest they chase after their own masters? Your odd sense of humour is going to distract us from our mission.”</b></span> It was clear the woman wasn't pleased, even without much tonality to her voice or expression to her face. Scylla's laughing attitude didn't make that any better. <br>

Kalina was glad to have been able to give some solid advice to Cayde. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Thank, thank you~”</b></span> She'd reply to the compliment. When he got more serious, so did she. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I... think I know what you mean. It's the same with me, having... lost Renee, my sister.”</b></span> The word 'lost' was an understatement here, but she hadn't exactly filled in Cayde on all that and wasn't exactly planning to do so either.<br>
<br>
His plan seemed solid. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Sounds great.”</b></span> Letting the other three in was probably for the best as well. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Alright, I'll get to it~”</b></span> She replied, hoping to catch them all alone one by one. Still, getting Scylla to not say anything about it would be challenging. <br>
<br>
When Sophia got closer and mentioned Scylla, Kalina couldn't help herself from smiling. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“She's great~ Wait... A... D? What? Is that some sort of curse? We travelled through some scary places together and she sort-off got stuck in a realm with undead, so... It'd not be too strange if she ended up getting cursed. I didn't know you knew so much about curses though...”</b></span> She wasn't quite figuring that one out. As for the magic, she recalled some of it. <span style="color: #800000"><b> “She's been throwing fireballs in the marshes, but I think she's got a lot more elements down than just that.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She leaned in closer to Sophia, unable to resist adding just one more part. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hmmm... you know, she's oddly sweet, both in personality and taste, from what I've gathered thus far. If you'd make an amazing main course, she'd be a perfect desert~”</b></span> She concluded, before realising that might be a bad thing to say. She wasn't sure. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Ah, I'm sorry if I should say such things.”</b></span> It was difficult for her to guess how far she could push her teasing without the risk of hurting her friends.<br>

It wasn't long after that the group had gathered back up together and entered the factory, with their brave leader Scylla leading the expectation in a very leader-like manner! The factory itself was large, going far out into the back. Far enough to not even see the end of it, with long rails suspended from the roof to carry things that were produced from the back to the front and back again. Right now, the factory was empty, surprisingly enough. Some machines were still churning and spinning, making noise in the background, but nothing seemed to be produced at the moment. Thoroughly investigating this place might end up taking a while, so they'd likely need a strategy to find someone who might be hiding in here or to find clues about said person's whereabouts. However...<br>

She followed after Scylla and the others completely unaware of what she was getting into. She knew it was called a 'factory', but somehow, she figured it'd be different from the ones in her past. Besides, even if they weren't, she was over it. She was over it... As she walked in further, her pace slowed down. She heard it.<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Alice Baker, seventeen years old. She'd been working in this factory for the past seven years. It'd become like a second home to her. Here, amidst the gentle humming of machines, there was nobody who'd beat her up over nothing. She just had to do her work well and she'd be safe, unlike how it was at home. Here, things were simple. Crawl between the machines, get the cotton balls that got dropped. Put them back in. Rinse and repeat. <br>
<br>
She wondered what time it was. She'd arrived early today, she'd leave late. Perhaps, with some luck, she'd catch the last bit of daylight? She liked being able to enjoy the sun, but with winter coming, her 10 hour shifts only allowed her to see it on Sundays. It was almost Sunday though. She was looking forwards to it. Ah, there. Another piece of cotton. Strange, they normally didn't drop that far away from the belt... Ah well. Just another day. She crawled further, reaching out to grab it. She felt an odd tug on one of her sleeves. <br>
<br>
In seconds, the tug turned into pain. Awful sounds could be heard, the sounds of bones breaking and snapping. Blood dropped onto the floor, as the unimaginable pain of it overwhelmed. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“AAAGHR!”</b></span> She cried out in terror, fear and pain. Mercilessly, the machine had pulled in her arm and splintered it like a twig. She'd been pulled in all the way until the shoulder, before finally, the machine got stuck and stopped. She was stuck, in unimaginable pain... <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Help!”</b></span> She shouted. Nobody heard her. Everyone was too busy with their own jobs to spot one child in trouble. She'd only be found hours later, when someone went to check why one of the machines stopped working. Passed out from the pain.<br>
<br>
Just as Kalina felt like she was about to faint for as well, she noticed someone. A familiar face. [Sister's Shattering].<br>
<br>

<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Poor little Alice. So weak. So pathetic.”</span></b><br>
<br>
Kalina trembled at the sight. <span style="color: #800000"><b> “You... how are you... you're dead! I.... I... killed you!”</b></span> She was confused and frightened, just like she'd been back then.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Yes, dear sister, you did. So then why are you so pathetic now? You killed me, so that you could live. Now look at you.”</span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“It's not... I...”</b></span> She stammered, not knowing what to reply to that. Renee was right. She was pathetic. She was weak.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“You don't have to be weak though. You were blessed, sister. You were given immortality when you got here! You were given the ability to leech off of the strength of others by drinking their blood! Why, then, do you refuse to use those gifts to their fullest? Imagine how much stronger you could be, how much more perfect, if you'd just hone that vampiric nature of yours!”</span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“No!”</b></span> She shouted back, her voice a mixture of fear and anger. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm not going to let that part of me win! I'll defeat it! I'm not going down the same path as you!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Are you now? Dear sister, don't you see it? You were my [Fate Severer]. You severed my destiny to become immortal, powerful, victorious. Now take some responsibility! Show me, show me that you're stronger than me by reaching heights I couldn't! Show me that my death was a stepping stone for you to rise to full power!”</span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“No, no, no.”</b></span> She shook her head, confused, worried. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You don't understand it, you never did. You weren't a stepping stone, you were <i>my sister</i>, I never wanted this to happen <i>I loved you</i>, but you... you wanted to kill us all!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Yes.”</span></b> A clear answer. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Then you stopped me, only to turn into someone this pathetic. It's insulting. Just think about it. You're trying to play friends? Do they really care? The might turn on you. They might not satisfy you. They might hold you down. They'll stop you from reaching your full potential. Yet, I can help you. I can help you be so much stronger, so much better. So much more powerful. An immortality bordering the divine.”</span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #800000"><b>“I don't want any of that! I never wanted it! I don't care if you think I'm weak, or pathetic, or if I never become as strong as I could be... I just... I just don't want to feel alone again... I don't want to feel like I'm just waiting to die again... I don't... want to sit in a dark house with nobody there... I don't want to feel so alone that I'm longing for the prospect of death again!”</b></span> So many emotions had welled up inside her. A pain surpassing this lifetime, rooted deeply in the previous one. <br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Then make them yours. Turn them into thralls. If they're nice enough, perhaps a full vampire. They'll be yours to have, yours forever and ever.”</span></b><br>
<br>
That thought. It angered her. The idea, she hated it. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No! I'd never... ever want to hurt someone I care about again! This burning... this burning in my chest I feel when I think back on how I failed... I'll carry it forever, as a sign of what I need to do. I have to be stronger, yes, but not in power. I need to be stronger and better in mind, for them as well!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“You're foolish to the core, unable to understand a single thing. They're mortals. They'll leave you, betray you, they'll die. They're not worthy of your time, let alone your love and adoration.”</span></b><br>
<br>
Somehow, those words. They saddened her. Renee truly didn't get it, did she? The value of true friends. How amazing it was to have them. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No, you don't understand. Don't you get it? Sophia, Cayde, Iberis... They <i>gave</i> me their blood. They volunteered it! Even Scylla offered it to me! Don't you see how much that means? It means it's real. They're <i>true</i> friends, so <i>I will</i> love and adore them as much as I want.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“I'm wasting my time here. However, we're not done talking yet. They will betray you, one day. You'll see. That day, I'll be right here. Inside your mind. Ready to tell you 'I told you so' over and over.”</span></b><br>
<br>
After those words, the vision-like state started to fade again.<br>
<br>
[Sister's Shattering] - With the death of her sister on Kalina's hands, the trauma remains. She will sometimes see random appearances of her sister that she can interact with. This vision of Renee can offer aid to Kalina if she is in a rut. Although it may appear like she is crazy. The aid offered may or may not actually be helpful.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Slowly, Kalina's pace slowed down, until she halted. Here eyes seemed to gaze forwards, as if seeing something that wasn't there. She started trembling, increasingly heavily. Suddenly, she fell to her knees and grabbed her arm. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“AAAGHR!”</b></span> She screamed. However, there was no visible injury or anything. Short after, another scream.  <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Help!”</b></span> <br>
<br>
Then, a silence. Those trying to snap her out of it would fail, although trying to grab a hold of her would stop her from trembling and shaking in fear as much as she was doing. It didn't take long before she started talking to someone, her eyes looking at someone only she could see. All they could hear were the word and the emotions with which they were said. This wasn't the 'Chandra' voice either, this was the real her, raw and unfiltered. <br>
<br>
Confused and frightened. <span style="color: #800000"><b> “You... how are you... you're dead! I.... I... killed you!”</b></span><br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
Stammering, weakly. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“It's not... I...”</b></span> <br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
In fear, yet angry. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No!”</b></span> - <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm not going to let that part of me win! I'll defeat it! I'm not going down the same path as you!”</b></span><br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
Confused and worried. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No, no, no.”</b></span> - <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You don't understand it, you never did. You weren't a stepping stone, you were <i>my sister</i>, I never wanted this to happen <i>I loved you</i>, but you... you wanted to kill us all!”</b></span><br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
In pain. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I don't want any of that! I never wanted it! I don't care if you think I'm weak, or pathetic, or if I never become as strong as I could be... I just... I just don't want to feel alone again... I don't want to feel like I'm just waiting to die again... I don't... want to sit in a dark house with nobody there... I don't want to feel so alone that I'm longing for the prospect of death again!”</b></span> <br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
In anger. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No! I'd never... ever want to hurt someone I care about again! This burning... this burning in my chest I feel when I think back on how I failed... I'll carry it forever, as a sign of what I need to do. I have to be stronger, yes, but not in power. I need to be stronger and better in mind, for them as well!”</b></span><br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
Saddened, yet full of conviction. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No, you don't understand. Don't you get it? Sophia, Cayde, Iberis... They <i>gave</i> me their blood. They volunteered it! Even Scylla offered it to me! Don't you see how much that means? It means it's real. They're <i>true</i> friends, so <i>I will</i> love and adore them as much as I want.”</b></span><br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
After a pause, Kalina finally snapped back to reality. She wasn't sure what had happened, but she felt horrible. A headache split her mind open, or so it felt. However, more than that, she was worried. Just... what did she say? Did she just dream all that or... or... This was bad. Really bad. However, with her head so hurt and her emotions still in turmoil, she couldn't get a story straight. The best she could do was to hope someone else might get her out of this mess, despite feeling horrible for throwing them into it to begin with. Perhaps she really was weak and pathetic. <br>

As Kalina's freak-out continued, the woman had put some distance between herself and the others. Enough to avoid being surrounded. However, still close enough to fight. She looked ready for it, as her mechanical arm was extended, the sharpened edged turned towards them. A small gear near the poison container turning. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Some of you... were oddly caring. So, I'll give you all a single chance to explain this. One chance.”</b></span> For now, she didn't look like she'd attack, but she was clearly highly on edge and ready to attack at a moment's notice.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/zzzshion1-png.1081784/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1018/1018914-8ba5c84b3f93f210868711428277e9b0.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="zzzShion1.png" title="zzzShion1.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Such an expansive promise for a new home to find, that sounds wonder...ful..." </span>Shion's statement was halted in its tracks as she realized Iberis had moved closer while they were walking and offered Shion a hug. Her eyes widened as she listened to Iberis' words. The words hit her deep, resonating with her as some of her most cherished friends had said similar in the past. Iberis would manage to see Shion's eyes tear up just before a half chuckle half gasp escaped her lips as her tail wagged rapidly for several moments. She didn't say anything else before returning Iberis' offer and embracing the girl, the mage's head gently pressing against Shion's bosom.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thank you, Iberis...I seem to be very fortunate to have found someone like you here. I...I'll tell you as many stories as you want later."</span> Shion released the girl after a moment before drying her tears. She shook her head with a laugh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Alright, let's return to your friends quickly, before they miss us."</span> Shion stated before she picked up the pace to rendezvous at the Third Factory Street!<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
It was a bittersweet moment arriving at the factory. On one hand, Shion was able to put all of the factory sounds out of her mind. On the other hand, that was because entering the building with Iberis was immediately greeted by Chandra screaming at the top of her lungs! Without any hesitation, Shion rushed to the woman's side. Her eyes started to glow once again, but unlike before she was thinking more clearly. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>What is this...my mana's reacting. Later, act, now!</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Chandra!"</span><span style="color: null"> Shion grabbed onto Chandra's shoulder as she started freaking out, her <b>[mind linking] </b>with hers just like with Iberis, only this time she was on the receiving end of the emotional rollercoaster. She could feel Chandra's trauma as she spoke to this imaginary being, although Shion could vaguely see the shape of a woman in her mind. She powered through the intense imagery she was experiencing to hope keeping her hand on Chandra's shoulder might help in some small way.<br>
<br>
Once her episode was over, Shion tightened her grip on Chandra's shoulder for a moment before standing up as she heard the mechanical arm of Morana prime itself. She faced Morana. Luckily the sensation of her mana flowing ceased by now too.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Chandra is suffering from traumatic stress from a previous event where someone close to her gave into vampirism..."</span> Shion glanced towards Iberis. Their conversation flashed through her mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"...Chandra is fighting the worst of herself just like I am everyday to be better. If you trust me...I trust her...please stand down."</span> Shion said with conviction as she stood in-between Chandra and Morana.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<b>[Magic F], [Telepathy F], [Empathy F]</b> - Shion's mind linked with Chandra's during her episode and witnessed everything she saw, with the exception of the one she was talking to who was only a vague figure.</div>

Sophia giggled. "ADHD. Short for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. Basically she can't keep still nor keep focus for too long. Not a curse or anything of the sort, just a mental thing. Nothing too bad, though." She tilted her head as she thought about someone that... <i>active </i>flinging fireballs, and decided that she wasn't sure if she was a fan. At the mention of taste, Sophia grinned at her. "Well, as long as you make sure I'm the main course, I wouldn't mind sharing my perfect friend~"<br>
<br>
As she walked forward she noticed that her friend was no longer walking alongside her. She saw the hundred yard stare, and while she didn't have personal experience with it, she had heard of it enough to guess especially with her job as basically a weapons manufacturer. However the scream of help took away most of the doubt, and the rambling got rid of the rest. She rushed forward, dropping to her knees and bringing up two claws to hold Kalina's face, keeping the vampire looking at her as her other two claws went down to hold Kalina's hands.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Kalina, look at me. You're safe. You're with me. It's Sophia."</span> The spider lady listened, gritting her teeth as she realized just who she was talking to. Her body clenched in pure rage at Renee for messing her sister up this much. It sickened her. She breathed in and out before saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Kalina, listen to me. Renee is gone. You did the right thing. I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, you need to let her go. She's dead. You're having..."</span> She paused, knowing that if Kalina didn't know what ADHD was, she probably wouldn't know what PTSD was.<br>
<br>
She continued, saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You're in Clockhaven. You're with me, Cayde, Iberis, and Scylla. Renee isn't here. You're having a flashback. Everything's going to be allright." </span>She waited until it seemed that Kalina was calming down, a claw finally reaching up and brushing some hair out of the vampire's face. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You back?"</span> She leaned forward, planting a  small kiss on Kalina's forehead, before whispering, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Don't worry. Everything's gonna  be alright."</span> <br>
<br>
Sophia, being better with equipment than reading people, noticed the gear turning, and without getting up on her feet, she held her crossbow at the ready, giving the woman a glare. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"My friend has PTSD. She's a victim of a horrible situation, and if you even think of harming her I'm going to put you down." </span>She definitely could have worded it better, but at that point, she couldn't care less. She needed to help her friend, and she would be damned if anyone tried to stop her or hurt Kalina any more than she already was. She even mentally went as far as to wish she could have been with Kalina so she could put a bolt through Renee's heart instead of Kalina having to do the deed. But she couldn't change the past, so instead she would keep her friend safe now.​</div></div>

A hint of annoyance bloomed within Cayde as he stepped into the factory,  his eyes finding no one to question. His brows furrowed underneath his mask. Now <i>that</i> was strange. In a building this big, no one was watching over it? Not even a construct? It would've been so easy to sneak in. With that in mind, he turned his gaze to the rails, eyes following them as they disappeared into the back. Probably led to another section of the factory, he thought. Maybe a section with lots of nooks and crannies. The <i>perfect</i> place to hide. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Alright, I think I know where we should go next,"</span> </b>Cayde pointed to the back of the factory, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We should start from there. Maybe keep an eye out for an off-"</span></b><br>
<br>
The sound of someone screaming made him freeze. The noise was as jarring as it was familiar. <i>Too</i> familiar. He spun around, realizing why. It was Kalina, gripping her arm and screaming bloody murder. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"K- Chandra!"</span> </b>Cayde cried, rushing to her side, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"What happened?! Did something..." </span></b>He paused as she went on to rant on about <i>someone</i>. It didn't make sense until he heard <i>sister</i>. The memory of Kalina's saddening confession came flooding back, filling in the blanks. So did Sophia's comforting words. And so did Kalina's own ramblings.  <br>
<br>
Cayde felt his mouth go dry. All this talk about <i>doing the right thing, hurting people, </i>and<i> never wanting things to happen</i>... Did Kalina <i>do</i> something to her sister? Whatever happened clearly had been traumatic. And she wasn't too eager to share the details. He knew that feeling. The wound was too fresh to open up again. <br>
<br>
So, did that mean she...<br>
<br>
No. Cayde shook his head. It didn't mean anything. And it wouldn't mean anything <i>now</i>. They could talk about this later. Or never - it didn't matter. What <i>mattered</i> was Kalina's well-being. She would've done the same for him. She was a good friend like that. He had to be one, too. <br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Come on, deep breaths," </span></b>He repeated softly, even after she stopped screaming, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"In and out. In and..." </span></b>A sudden clicking noise made him halt. Cayde whipped around, spotting Morana and Sophia glaring at each other, weapons ready. His eyes wandered to the small poison canister on Morana's arm. Neurotoxin, he guessed. Or something <i>much</i> worse. It'd kill everyone in minutes. He had to step in. <br>
<br>
Cayde got in between Sophia and Morana, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Wait! STOP!" </span></b>He raised his hands, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We don't have to come to this." </b></span>He looked Morana right in her glazed-out eyes. This time, it didn't feel so terrifying. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Look, Chandra is just another person haunted by her past. We're trying to help her get through. Don't you understand?" </b></span>He said, focusing on keeping his voice stable and his <b>[Persuasion - F] </b>smooth. Her query, however, made it hard to do so, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We're treating you kind because you're <i>not</i> a tool, Morana," </b></span>He sighed, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You're a part of the team. Whether you like us or not. We're not going to mistreat you. <i>I'm</i> not going to mistreat you. Not anymore." </span></b>He said, gesturing to her arm, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"So please, can we just get back to investigation?"</b></span></div>

Iberis hadn't really been sure what reaction to expect, but it was incredibly positive coming from Shion it looked like. Even as she felt a bit shy there quite clearly, it felt incredibly nice to feel Shion reciprocate the hug as a warm smile fell over her face upon hearing the way Shion was speaking even. If she could do this much for Shion just by these actions since there wasn't a ton else Iberis felt she could do in this moment, then that was certainly a win in her book for more than one reason.<br>
<br>
However couldn't help but feel her face turn a tad pink as she felt her head resting against Shion's chest which was placed perfectly for a resting spot  it seemed  for a hug given their difference in height. After Shion broke the hug, Iberis looked back up at her, and nodded with a smile,<br>
<br>
"I'd..like that a lot Shion." She said softly, giving her while admittedly perhaps still slightly tired gaze with the bags under her eyes, it was one of warmth and comradery.<br>
<br>
 In this case Iberis meant her words, Iberis knew what it felt like to be all alone from personal experience growing up, as soon as she got out of the orphanage, if she could help it there was no reason that Shion had to feel similar to how she had.<br>
---<br>
On the way back Iberis was very diligent to stay near Shion. Being near her already made her feel a deal more comfortable than being out and about in this urban city scape alone. As interesting as the factory was, unfortunately Iberis did not see or hear anything particularly pleasant as she too entered with Shion and heard Chandra freaking out.<br>
<br>
Unlike Shion Iberis was not about to immediately go over to Chandra as she had, that seemed like risky business when Kalina was having issues to this extent. The reason she hesitated to do so was because she remembered what happened very well when Kalina had attempted to bite Hope out of desperation, and this reminded Iberis of that desperation.<br>
<br>
Plus there probably didn't need to be yet another person  so close to her like this since so many were already there, she saw that Shion was doing something presumably  magic related which Iberis wasn't sure what to make of, maybe it was related to what had happened earlier since she had seen glowing eyes then too at one point. Of course Iberis knew what could have been causing the response immediately from experience, which was only further confirmed from what Shion was describing.<br>
<br>
 Iberis was just glad that it didn't sound like Shion was picking up on the fact that Chandra was actually a vampire ,rather someone close to Chandra had it sounded like from that interpretation. While Iberis still didn't believe that Shion would do anything malicious with that information she  still strongly believed that this was something that Kalina should tell Shion herself if she wanted too, it was none of Iberis's business to spread never mind the potential security risk.<br>
<br>
There was something she could agree with Cayde and Sophia however, even if she didn't really know the term 'PTSD'  the sentiment was clear enough from the way Sophia spoke. Perhaps people in Widersia with their advanced science understood that people could feel that way and understood better than most of the realm.<br>
<br>
After Sophia stopped having her episode Iberis too made her way over near the others.<br>
<br>
"Cayde and Sophia are right, Chandra has been through a lot, She doesn't mean anyone here harm, including you Morana. We're a team, and we are allies to stop a common enemy, It is in our mutual interest stay united."<br>
<br>
Iberis said with a steely glint of determination  in her eyes. Iberis could remember everything that Chandra had seen and done herself, she couldn't help but wonder if she would have the same problems if she had done the deed, Iberis had already had  night terrors on several occasions since that had all transpired.</div>

“Yeah, mhm you wouldn’t know anything about what figure of speech would be little miss Morana.” Scylla snapped back, “And! Theres nothing wrong with my sense of humor, it’s not my fault my mind feels touched by demonic forces!” She rolled her eyes as she led the way, then mumbling under her breath, “You can thank my sweet EX teacher for that.”<br>
<br>
It wasn’t long that a sudden cry was heard, her eye’s shot back at the fallen Kalina. “Oh dear.” She gasped. From the looks of it, it appeared Kalina was in some kind of trance? <i>Oh great, more whisperers in our heads. </i>She wondered as she put her hands on her hips and watched as Iberis and Shion return. “And where have you two been?” She asked, but not with any real interest about the answer. However, it did pieque the witch’s curiosity as usual. <br>
<br>
As she stepped closer to examine Chandra, Sophia was already helping her. “Is.. she okay?” Scylla asked concerned, but surprisingly she wasn’t very shocked at what she was saying, truly, Scylla had experienced the most torturous vision nothing could compare. She was just sorry that Kalina/Chandra was going through it now of all times. Part of what she was saying was quite passionate, and strangely heart warming to the witch. But she knew, from the hopeless empty stare in her eyes that whatever she was seeing was definitely real. “Uhm, Chandra, its okay, we’re here.” She expressed gently, her voice as meek as a mouse. <br>
<br>
Suddenly the monotone robotic voice of Morana broke the silence of the moment, she’d get up and gesture for her to calm down, “Now wait just a minute! You look here Morana, we’ve been through quite a bit. I.. well.. we would spend the entirety of this day explaining just how far we’ve come to be here. Chandra here, is simply going through a thing, and its completely harmless. She’s likely making sense of alot of traumatizing stuff! You just.. wouldn’t understand..” she shook her head, “..now please, turn off your scary claw thing and save it for the REAL enemy okay?" <br>
<br>
She cleared her throat, then continued with Morana, "Alright. So maybe we should get ahead while everyone here figures out what's going on with Chandra. Come on.. come on, love." She gestured at her. Then looked at Cayde, maybe she'd listen to him much better. "Hey Cayde? uhh.. Morana is about to throw a tantrum, and I'd like for her to calm down. Could you tell her to go on a walk with me?"</div>

She stood in silence, still battle-ready, taking in the words that were spoken person by person. Although Shion's words carried some level of weight, due to her having tried to connect before, they didn't seem to add up. She'd heard Chandra talk about having been given blood. Namely by some those people with her right now. That was about as suspicious as things could get now, wasn't it? She doubted this was just your average trauma.<br>
<br>
Sophia's words nearly made her attack. After all, she was [Blood-lusted] for a reason. Her drugged-out mind ready for a fight at a moment's notice. A challenge like that was extremely difficult to ignore. She'd love slicing up the arms of that bug... If it wasn't for Cayde stepping in and getting in the way, she might've given into that bloodlust. With his somewhat persuasive words, she calmed down just a little. He'd been given command over her, so if she'd screw up and kill him without good cause, she'd be done for as well.<br>
<br>
His words about being 'part of the team' were odd to her. She'd gotten pretty used to being a tool, she'd even grown comfortable with it, to a degree. So, these words. Were they true? Or were they just an attempt to distract her? She wasn't sure. She still wasn't convinced.<br>
<br>
Then next one to speak up surprised her a little. That one hadn't spoken much thus far, but she did bring up an interesting thought. Their mutual enemy. Even if these folk were extremely shady, like she'd felt from the very start, the Baron still needed her to get rid of that vampire. If these people were still dedicated to that goal, she'd ruin a good opportunity by fighting them. <br>
<br>
When even the overly active witch joined in, she finally relaxed every so slightly. Mostly visible by the fact some gears in her arm stopped spinning. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm not going on a walk with you.”</b></span> She sneered at Scylla, well, in as far as her monotone voice was able to sound like a sneer, which wasn't too far, but one might guess. Either way, she turned to everyone.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm going to need a better explanation for this, if we're to work together. If you want to play as a team, let's try act as one, right? Here's my two cents. I've chosen this life of violence after being unable to come to terms with reality and committing a crime. I've learned to love the thrill of battle and have little patience for antics and little desire to hold back openly threatens me.”</b></span> She looked at Scylla and Sophia respectively during those two statements. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“There's my part. Now I need hers.”</b></span> She pointed at Kalina.<br>

As she heard her friends talking, jumping to her aid, she was slowly able to regain some of her composure. She wasn't aware of Shion having sensed the same as her (both the factory scene and talk with her sister), but she was slowly realising she'd said the thing she said to Renee aloud. She realised the others had heard those words a well. Feeling Shion's hand on her shoulder (somewhat at least, through the armour) was strange. She knew the woman the least, yet she was oddly comforting to have around. Perhaps it was someone with a truly good nature?<br>
<br>
Sophia's words didn't reach her, but the claws that held her did. Normally they might've freaked her out, but even subconsciously, she knew who they belonged too and felt comforted by their presence. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm... back.”</b></span> She uttered silently, in reply to Sophia's question finally reaching her, still trying to process what in the world just happened. As she regained herself, a weak smile formed upon hearing Cayde's reaction. Deep breaths weren't all that useful to someone who's heart and stopped beating a long time ago and who's blood wasn't carrying oxygen but the life-force of others. Still, the mental exercise and the knowledge he was still on her side were extremely comforting. Like she assumed with Shion, she assumed he knew very little about what she'd gone through.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #778899"><b>“It's okay, Scylla.”</b></span> She finally spoke up in full. During the precious time her friends had bought her, she figured out exactly how to approach this. A blend of truth, lie, subversion and deception. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“What Shion said is right, but it's a little more complicated than that.”</b></span> Now was the time to fully commit to the lie (Deception D) and talk her way out of this. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm trained to use alternate identities to go undercover. However, as my friends said, I've gone through some... unpleasant experiences while undercover. I'm afraid it did more to me mentally than I expected it would. When I entered this place, I suddenly had this odd vision of being a young girl working in a factory in a totally different time and world, who's arm got caught in one of the machines and who died years later to her wounds, alone in a dark house. It was... unpleasant. It must be a trick my mind is playing on me, having some of the persona's I used that rooted itself in my mind too deeply.”</b></span> Shion would likely realise she was actually talking about her past life, having witnessed some of it. The other 'isekai' folk might have their own suspicions on it as well. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #778899"><b>“The same is true for the other things I said. I went undercover as a truly terrible monster, for which I went as far as to request my friends to give me their blood to make it seem more realistic. However, the things I had to watch, say and do to keep up that cover... It was horrible. Worse, my own sister ended up becoming more monstrous herself during a mission investigating a group of dangerous undead. She let herself be corrupted by them and I had to... kill her. That might've messed me up more than I thought.”</b></span> Iberis and Scylla would know how she twisted around that story into a half-truth.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #778899"><b>“So, I'm sorry... For being such a mess and for putting you all through this trouble. I know it'd be a risk to trust me again, but I promise, that thrall we heard about, I can fool her with the same disguise I mentioned. I'm not going to put up a pathetic display like this again.

She'd heard the vampire out. It was still suspicious, but... It was plausible. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Fine.

Kalina, meanwhile, signed in relief. She looked around, a smile on her face. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thank you all, for being there.

On the topic of that job, the factory was eerily silent, other than the humming of some machines on standby. There were various other things that stood out. To their left, some sort of generator stood by, the source of most sounds. It looked like it was used to power some of the machines here. It currently wasn't on, but it looked like it might've been on not too long ago. To their right were the various machines that made the actual parts. They'd recognise a lot of these parts as the ones that the little constructs they saw in Fromm's airport hanger were made of. The same type of screws, bolts and gears. The further back they'd go, the more 'assembled' the state of these robots were. None of them were active.<br>
<br>
All the way in the back, there were some alternative models. Most of them were piled up in the background, possibly having been test-cases that were discarded after a few failed runs. Some of them looked widely different than the originals. Those perceptive (Perception E or higher) enough would notice one of them was a lot more bigger looking as well. They'd also notice an odd weapon stuck in one of the piles a bit further away, perhaps some type of hammer? It didn't exactly seem like it was fitting in this place.<br>
<br>
It looked like there were a few doors in the back of the factory, which led to even more storage areas. Most of those were very tidy, packing shelves with neatly sorted gear piled up on shelves, all in their own boxes. Going through all of these areas would probably take ages though, unless they had some sort of method to it. <br>

As they were going though the factory, Kalina would at least take a moment to quickly say something to Shion. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'll tell you more later, if you want. I'm sure you'll have questions and... I think I can trust you with the answers.”</b></span> She was willing to take the risk of telling Shion more of the truth, at some point, after how the latter had helped her (she still didn't realise Shion had seen into her trauma). <br>
<br>
After, she'd head to Sophia. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thanks again, you're amazing.”</b></span> She'd smile towards the Fae. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“However,... what you said. You seem to know more about whatever cursed my mind. You called it... PTSD? Could you please explain it to me?”</b></span> She genuinely hoped Sophia could inform her and possible tell her how to cure it while at it. She didn't want to experience whatever this was again, that much was sure.</div>

Sophia's words put her on edge quickly and she almost snapped at her, typical of humans to escalate-<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Shion, stop it.</i></span> Thankfully everyone else backed her up on the peaceful side of things, which was good because her resolve only hardened once they agreed with her. Morana went on to explain her life and surprisingly; Chandra spoke cleanly, clearly, and confidently about the situation. So the shyness <i>had</i> been an act this whole time. Good to know. She didn't take Morana's willingness to open up for granted either, some part of her felt like she might've gotten through to her a bit earlier. It relieved her that she'd met a surprising amount of reasonable humans even if she detested <i>where</i> she found them.<br>
<br>
Once the situation was properly deflated Shion's focus was suddenly on her obnoxiously loud surroundings, and the woman who boldly stood up to a woman she knew she had no business taking in a fight right now for a woman she knew just as little about seemed to fade somewhat. Her ears flattened as if to try and keep the factory sounds from pounding her skull repeatedly to little avail. She did her best to instead focus her thoughts on what had just happened to her.<br>
<br>
She brought a hand to her face as she closed her eyes, trying to reproduce the circumstances in her mind. She felt her mana begin to flow through her body, and her eyes were glowing when they opened again, and she began to look around to everyone. She was <b>[Mind Linking]</b> just out of range of everyone.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">I have the faintest feeling of the presence of everyone's mind around me...their emotions...and my own memories and emotions feel like a river...I never could do something like this back in Elfania...I wonder what else my body will adapt to here...actually, I felt this sensation with Iberis earlier...oh dear, what did she see? I hope nothing too awful, I have memories no one needs to see...I should ask her once this is all over.</span></i><br>
<br>
Shion managed to distract herself with this sensation as this mind link seemed to help her focus on the abstract and her own mental state more than her physical surroundings. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>I need to be careful...my story with Iberis earlier I lost my composure, must've sparked my mana to surge like this...I really hope she's okay.</i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion located Iberis just as the glow faded from her eyes and gave her a smile to hopefully reassure her if she got worried about Shion. Shion may not be in good surroundings, but her company...she felt genuinely happy.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Once the group proceeded forward with searching the factory, Chandra came up to Shion to tell her she'd have time to talk to her later. Shion nodded along with her as she listened with intent, but then she had a smirk cross her lips as Chandra began to walk away.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I think Cayde had a point, Chandra, I think my life is about to change for the better."</span> She chuckled, that should <span style="color: null">give Chandra an idea without spilling the beans to the uninformed parties. <br>
<br>
She stepped closer to Cayde for a moment and gently elbowed him. She spoke in a low voice to him. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"So your miracle talk was from experience, Cayde? Don't worry, I can explain later in a less tense atmosphere. Even I'm surprised I know what I know now."</span><br>
<br>
As she continued walking with everyone, she naturally seemed to draw herself closer to Iberis as she walked. It wasn't deliberate, probably just subconscious, but she felt a genuine connection to the mage as the one person she'd goten to talk to alone since she got here. Part of her wishes she'd had a chance to talk with everyone before winding up in this insufferable city, but for now she was simply happy she'd found people that accepted her as an ally. She just wished she could think without trying to link with someone, the humming of these machines almost made her miss the trainyard.<br>
<br>
She shook her head, she refused to think anything in this city was worth hanging around. She looked around as they passed some of the storage areas.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Searching all of this is going to be...arduous."</span> She said to no one in particular.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Morana, are you familiar with these places? Just how many sections does this factory have?" </span><i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Maybe I could use this link to try and sense Sverre? The range doesn't seem very far right now...I'll wait a little longer and see if we can find any clues. </span></i><span style="color: null">Sadly Shion's eyes were not as sharp as they were previously, so she did not see the out of place hammer as they searched.</span></div>

Immense relief surged through Cayde as he heard Kalina speak up behind him. It was great to see her back in action again. And it felt even better to hear her 'explain' the situation so quickly. But, as she went on about visions, her sister, taking blood, a wry question came into thought. Just how much w<i>as</i> she lying about? The bit about going undercover was definitely a cover-up for her disguise, and the blood requests were clearly a half-truth. So, did that mean everything else had to be a fabrication? About what <i>really</i> happened to her sister? Or about visions of a past life? It should've been an easy thing to answer if he knew her. <br>
<br>
But that was it, wasn't it? He didn't really know much about her at all...<br>
<br>
Just overthinking things, Cayde decided. He could talk later. Right now, there were happier things to focus on. Like Kalina's quick recovery. Or Morana standing down <i>without</i> using that poison. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Thanks for understanding, Morana," </b></span>He said, his hands falling back to his sides, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Alright, we'll get back to it." </span></b>Then, Cayde turned to Kalina just as she gave her thanks to the party. A warm smile grew on his face. She might've been an enigma, but at least she made her feelings known. That was something. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey, you would've done the same for all of us, Chandra. It's the least we could do." </b></span><br>
<br>
After that, Cayde followed as the group traveled through the factory. His eyes searched wildly for clues. So much so he hadn't noticed Shion walking up to him, only feeling a slight bump on the shoulder. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Oh, sorry about that, Shion,"</span> </b>Cayde apologized, slowing down to hear her out. As her words registered, Cayde's eyebrows quirked a little. It sounded <i>a lot</i> like she was onto something. And with what she said earlier - Did she find out about Kalina's vampirism? Or something else about her? That would've been... bad. Or good? Maybe he was just overthinking things again. He'd have to wait and see. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Yeah, just grab me whenever you're ready," </b></span>He nodded, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Believe me, I'd <i>really</i> like to know," </span></b><br>
<br>
Cayde's eyes immediately went back to searching. In the back, there still wasn't much. Just robots, more robots, one big robot, and a hammer. <br>
<br>
He did a double-take, and a smile formed on his face. Finally, a clue. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Hey guys, check this out," </span></b>He trudged past the discarded constructs and pointed to the out-of-place weapon, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Some sort of warhammer over here. Could be Sverre's," </b></span>He looked in the direction of the larger robot and walked over to it. He gave it one good knock with his knuckles. It wouldn't hurt to try, he thought. It could've been hollow enough for someone to fit into. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'd say he's been around here recently. Maybe he's hiding close by..." </span></b>He said, eyes darting around, hoping his <b>[Perception - E] </b>would pick up another clue.</div>

Iberis was relieved that Scylla's dubious walk comment hadn't inadvertently goaded Morana into a more hostile mood than she already seemed to be in. Thankfully when Morana wanted hear Chandra speak, Chandra did an excellent job spinning her words to convey the narrative she was trying to convey so all of that worked out well enough in Iberis's mind since it didn't sound particularly suspicious in her opinion, not to anyone who didn't know Chandra or Kalina well at the very least which Morana fell into the category of. Of course Iberis didn't feel great that this information was being conveyed to Shion, as she was still unaware just to the extent that Shion was aware, but she hoped the truth would be available to her in due time.<br>
<br>
Iberis felt her composure gradually come back as the crisis was averted. Iberis noticed Shion's smile and that actually helped her feel a bit better, truthfully she still wasn't sure what was going on with those glowy eyes or the vision she had earlier, but at the very least Shion emoted like she was doing better than before despite their strange environment, with those very foreign humming sounds. And all this advanced machinery that Iberis truthfully did not understand. Despite taking in the scene around her, she did manage to form a smile back on Shion, wanting to reassure her that everything was okay on her end of things too for the most part now, lessening the grip of her staff which she had subconsciously done once again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I also thank you Morana, we'll show you through our actions that all of our intentions are genuine."</span> She chimed in too  perhaps a bit more serious tone than usual, but it felt appropriate given what just happened. She knew that actions would speak louder than words.<br>
<br>
She figured there'd be a time and place to talk to Chandra more to see if she was alright about what had happened, Iberis still held steadfast to the belief that the sooner they got what Kalina needed done the better.<br>
---<br>
Iberis moved along carefully in this strange space once everyone had gotten back on task. She scanned the area for anything of interest, there was so much gear and none of it looked like anything magical which Iberis had learned about in the academy from what she could tell on outward appearance alone for the time being. It was all just so incredibly foreign. She noticed that as time went on that at some point Shion seemed to be closer to her than before, which she did not mind by any means. If anything Shion had eased many of Iberis's feelings.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately Iberis still had no idea what PTSD was so she couldn't help Chandra there, as she heard her ask Sophia about it. Unknown to Iberis perhaps that sort of thing could be treated  effectively with some sort of  magic in the realm compared to the the world she came from at the very least.<br>
<br>
Iberis agreed with what Shion had to say there, it was a very vast factory, the whole thing feeling a bit overwhelming already. <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah this place is..pretty huge I'm afraid my knowledge in this sort of stuff is limited, the arcane is more my forte, but I'm sure there's something useful around here."</span><br>
<br>
Not long after that she saw Cayde had already found something, the weapon which was most curious. Iberis made her way over to get a closer look as he pointed it out.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"That definitely sounds plausible." </span>She replied to Cayde, indeed that was quite an interesting find. Iberis then looked around as well, unfortunate she didn't exactly have extra perception to aid in her looking around the area, but she figured she could try to see if there was anything of interest.</div>

Sophia tilted her head as she started to finally move with Kalina, making sure to stay close to her friend as they walked. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"PTSD is... well, remember ADHD? Like, how it's not a curse or anything, just something different in how a person's brain works? There are ways to help, but not completely cure it. It's the same way as PTSD. That one stands for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. During World War One, or I guess the Great War, it was called Combat Fatigue or Shell Shock. It stems from a person going through trauma, with things that remind them of that trauma forcing them back to the place they were when it happened. It's all in a person's mind, but it can feel so real when it's happening." </span>She leaned over, one of her arms wrapping around Kalina's waist.<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> "It sucks, but the best that can be done outside of medication that I'm not sure exists in this world, or some type of magic which also probably doesn't work in this world, is making sure you feel safe. Something I've heard of to somewhat help is to keep something that reminds you that you're in the present, not the point where the trauma came from. Kind of to help you understand that it happened long ago, and that you've moved on. Though, another thing to help stop it is to figure out what triggered it. Have any idea what caused it to happen? If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. I just want to know so I can help keep you out of situations that might cause it."</span>​</div></div>

She was surprised to hear Shion's reply. Had she already caught up on things? How..? Kalina wasn't sure how much she'd revealed in her state just now, yet it'd likely been enough for Shion to figure things out. Still, considering Shion's mention of Cayde's words and Shion's earlier words on monsters, this might not be the worst outcome. She smiled in reply. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Let me know how I can help with that~”</b></span> She replied, glad she could stop pretending to be shy and be a little more like herself again.<br>
<br>
Cayde's words made her think for just a second? Would she have done the same for the others? … Yes. Well, if she knew how to do it. She'd have tried, at least. She wasn't sure if she'd succeeded as well, but she'd surely have tried. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Even if it's the least you could do, I'm going to have to come up with amazing thank-you-gifts~”</b></span> She replied with another smile. <br>
<br>
When Sophia got closer, her eyes scanned the room until they spotted an exit. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm going to try get some fresh air, I'll be with you all again in a moment.”</b></span> She excused herself, gesturing Sophia to come along. Once they were out of the factory hall, with the sound of machines drown out by the sounds of the city, she was able to feel a little more relaxed. She'd also be able to talk a bit more openly. <br>
<br>
Sophia's words were confusing. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I... don't think I know any of that. Great Wars, World War One... Wait, if that's one, then how many were there?”</b></span> She tried to remember what little she'd been able to learn during her past life. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I think I once learned about the Thirty Year's War... and of course there was the Civil War... The Seven Year's War was also pretty bad. That one happened short before I was born. I think some uncles of mine died in it.”</b></span> Still, she didn't get it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I've never been in a war though...”</b></span><br>
<br>
Something that reminded her she was in the present... <span style="color: #778899"><b>“That's what you all managed to do, snapping me back to the present and buying me some time to spin a story for Morana.”</b></span> As for what triggered it, she knew that one. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“It's the machines... Their sound reminded me of... of...”</b></span> Come on. Renee was wrong. She wasn't that weak. She could talk about this stuff and get over it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I worked in a factory for most of my life, picking up cotton from between machines. One day, my arm got stuck and ended up mangled, after which I just... ended up at home and waiting to die.”</b></span> That was the shortest version of it, but she didn't feel the strength to expand on it. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“The machines reminded me of that, but...”</b></span><br>
<br>
The second part was different. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“When Renee appeared, I'm not sure if that's what you think... I mean, she dabbled in all sorts of magic and took us to some undead realm. Even if she's dead now... she might still live on and do what she did... test me, for... well... having had... kill her.”</b></span> Even without playing 'Chandra' those words were tough to say. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Yet if I wouldn't have done it, she'd have killed us all. She'd gone insane, I think. There was only hate in her... Only hate.”</b></span>  She clenched her fists together at the memory of the state her sister hand been in. It still hurt, even just thinking back upon it.<br>
<br>
She felt herself slipping away a little again, so she figured she'd do what Sophia suggested. Grabbing a hold of something that kept her grounded in the present. In this case, that something was Sophia herself, as she leaned down to hold Sophia in an embrace, focussing on the feeling of holding the Fae close to drown out the unpleasant memories.<br>

Hearing Shion's question surprised her. Mostly due to the fact the woman asked her a question to begin with. She just admitted to being violent and these folk still wanted to play friends? How intriguing. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“A little. This factory is a large one, as it provides some basics for all sorts of constructs and prosthetics, including a line of finished constructs like you saw at the airport. However, sections would be difficult to hide in as they've got pretty tight security. The fact this section doesn't is... odd, to say the least.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She turned her attention to one of the witches. Showing their intentions through actions. She wondered how that'd turn out in practice. For now, though, she was curious. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“What was your name again?”</b></span> She'd only bothered to remember one name, Cayde, as that was the person she was supposed to listen to. The second she'd ended up remembering was Shion. This girl might be a third name worth committing to memory.<br>

Sophia followed along, stopping alongside Kalina as she listened to what she said. Her eyes widened at the explanation<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">. "Wow. I guess you were born almost two hundred years before me... I'm guessing you were around during the industrial revolution In one of the worst professions. I can't even imagine working in a cotton mill. And to die in one... I died in my forge. Just a flash of light and then I was here. You had to suffer so much... I can't even imagine what you must have gone through, the pain. I'm so sorry, Kalina."</span> She wrapped her own arms around the vampire, pressing her head into Kalina's chest, tears welling up in her eyes, moistening the other girl's blouse.<br>
<br>
As she listened to more about Renee, she gritted her teeth. The horrible lady couldn't even let go of Kalina in death. She pulled back to stare up into Kalina's face, her eyes starting to get puffy, but her face and jaw were set. Determined to make sure that Kalina would be as free as possible from her sister's hold. No matter how much effort it took from her. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Kalina... I'm so sorry you had to be the one to do that. It must hurt you something awful. But I'm thankful you did. Because if you hadn't, then you wouldn't be here to talk with, and Renee would be around harming more people. You might wonder what if you did something different, but I don't think there was any other choice. And no matter what happens, I will always say this. You made the right choice. If you're ever second guessing that, turn to me and tell me you are, and I'll say it as many times as I need to. You aren't a bad person. You'll never be a bad person. I'm not just joking when I say you're perfect, because you are. And no matter what Renee told you before or tries to tell you now, I'll yell as loud as I need to make sure you understand, until I even drown out what you hear her say."</span> She breathed in deep before gripping Kalina in as strong of a hug as she could muster, screaming at the top of her lungs, not caring how others looked at her, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b><i>"YOU DID THE RIGHT THING! I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, AND YOU'RE PERFECT! I'LL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU! NO! MATTER! WHAT!" </i></b></span>​</div></div>

For now it seemed everyone was handling the situation, Scylla just placed her hands on her hips tilting her head a bit. Then sort of speaking to herself she began, "Gee! Well, seems like everything is under control. Heh, being a leader is tough work. Maybe I'll just.." She'd sit on the ground, "..sit down." Then pulled out her signature silken handkerchief, placing it neatly on the ground before taking a muffin cake and placing it atop the fabric. Then a candle, which she pressed gently into the pastry before lighting the candle with a snap of her fingers. "There! Heh, happy birthday miss Scylla!!" She closed her eyes, made a wish and blew the candle before pinching a piece off the muffin and eating it. "MMMM!!" She exclaimed. ''Goodie!" Absolutely delighted!</div>

Cayde almost lept out of his skin as he heard metal clanging <i>within</i> the robot. Definitely not hollow, he thought as he backed away. And <i>definitely </i>more broken than it was before. But as he watched it return to its senses, a new realization dawned on him. This <i>could've</i> been Sverre. Or, perhaps someone who'd seen him? All he'd have to do next was ask a few questions. It shouldn't be <i>too</i> hard. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Ah! Eh, m-my bad, I wasn't tryna-"</span> </b>Cayde cleared his throat and tried again. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sorry, we weren't trying to disrupt your...sleep?"</span> </b>He said with a shrug at the end. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"We're actually looking for someone. And I got a feelin' you might know where he is," </span></b><br>
<br>
With a nod, Cayde gestured to the party, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Here's Iberis, our leader Scylla, Shion..."</span> </b>He flinched as a love-filled scream interrupted his introduction. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Uh, <i>that</i> was Sophia, and the one she's probably clinging onto is Chandra. Then, you've got our helpful guide Morana in back,"</span> </b>Finally, he pointed to himself, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And I'm Cayde. <i>Second in command</i>. A pleasure to meet ya',</span>" </b>He said with a slight tip of his head. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"As you're probably aware, a vampire's lurking in the city, trying to find recruits. The baron sent us to investigate, and we're trying to gather some information from a man named Sverre. An informant, Chima, told us he might be hiding somewhere around here," </span></b><br>
<br>
After his explanation, Cayde's eyes scanned over the giant robot. They looked more metal than they did man. Kind of like how Chima described Sverre's men. He wondered if there was any relation. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"So, for starters, what're <i>you</i> doing around here?"</span> </b>He asked, his head cocking to the side, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"This doesn't look like the comfiest place to have a nap," </span></b></div>

Listening to Morana's explanation was at least helpful for her determining the sort of stuff she was looking at exactly, so Shion was asking some good questions there as far as Iberis was concerned. So these were construct parts, that was peculiar, while she didn't know much about this part of the realm surely something like this had tight security like Morana suggested, it'd be pretty hard  pressed to find anywhere involving production lines of this caliber of whatever to not have some sort of guards present to Iberis's understanding pretty much regardless of where you where particularly  when it was sophisticated  potentially expensive stuff like this.<br>
<br>
She hadn't quite been expecting Morana to to direct a question toward her so she turned to her and replied without missing a beat, as if she wasn't very surprised by needing to repeat her name,<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"My name is Iberis Ohdir." </span><br>
It wasn't long after answering this question that suddenly everything seemed to get fairly intense once again.<br>
<br>
She did notice Scylla who decided to sit on the ground, as if she was having a tea party. The behavior was all pretty on brand so she didn't question it, instead letting out a bit of a giggle at the sight, but that didn't last too long because  Apparently the thing that Cayde had knocked on was an active construct who started clicking in binary  immediately, causing Iberis to look over immediately and grip her staff. This wasn't just some construct, it was a very tall now obviously annoyed one that it had been 'woken' up by the looks of things.<br>
<br>
Thankfully Cayde once again did a great job of explaining who everyone was and why they were there, but even Iberis was a bit visibly surprised yet again when she heard how loud and passionate Sophia was being at a time like this, Cayde had just the thing to say on that.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Right, we're just here on business, like Cayde said. Any information would be greatly appreciated so that we can help the Baron deal with this threat, I can't imagine a vampire running around is particularly helpful for anyone's operations around here." </span><br>
<br>
Iberis added in toward the end, regaining her composure  and trying to at least appear legitimate and coherent at what she was doing there for the construct well aware she was at a disadvantage due to her probably looking relatively inexperienced compared to the rest of the group in stature and youth.</div>

She'd catch Iberis giggling, smiling delightedly at her colleague, before offering her a piece of her so called, 'birthday cake'.<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> "Hmm?"</span> She asked as she held up the pastry in her palm towards the other witch.<br>
<br>
Right after Scylla blew the candle Sophia seemed to shriek, making her jump up to her feet in a jumps scare. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“EEEK!”</span> She exclaimed as she quickly caught her hat that had flown off her head with the startle. “My goodness..” She’d cross her arms flicking her own nose with her thumb, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“..gee, i wish someone loved me like that!”</span> She giggled, but only breifly before turning towards the robot that was awakened by Cayde. She’d walk up to his side,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “Whoa! You totally woke him up!” </span>She reached out to touch it but quickly took her hand back,<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> “..and look! He’s cranky!"</span> Upon Cayde mentioning her name her eyes seemed to glow, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Heeeey!” </span>She said happily, clapping her hands together softly, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“Excellent introduction! I.. i’m so proud!” </span>she said, feigning wiping her own tears. A jest she’d only breifly entertain before getting to business. <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“As my dearest, second in command has just stated, we’re searching for a man named Sverrre. Any information you might have on such a name would be of utmost significance in our mission!”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
Then upon mention of Chima, <span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">“You wouldn’t happen to know her would you? This.. Chima i mean.” </span>She wondered if this robot would know anything about her, perhaps she had enemies? Allies? Being new to this world and expereincing it was one thing, but truly knowing the ins and outs of wo was who according to the locals was, in her opinion another critical part of a thorough investigation.</div>

(Blue = Common, Orange = Beastial)<br>​</div><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thank you, Morana."</span> Shion nodded to the woman as the party continued investigating. Shion happened to notice Scylla sitting down for a treat, Cayde noticing an out of place hammer, Sophia and Chandra going off on their own, and Iberis nearby.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"What do you have there, Cayde?"</span> She asked, approaching curiously. She had completely dropped her guard just as their new acquaintance flared to life.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"FUCK!"</span> Suddenly, another construct woke up next to her and Cayde as she'd been trying to relax herself. She listened to that infernal binary speech again as her mood deflated from being startled by another of these things. Then it started speaking the human tongue like the Baron which just made her more uncomfortable.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Great, another one that talks..."</span> She gave a soft whimper as her tail drooped low to the floor, and her ears didn't move since they were still trying to drown out the sounds around her in vain. Again and again she wished she could leave this city, but she wouldn't abandon these people. Not after her promise to help. She gathered herself and did her best to try not to make him unwilling to co-operate. She'd been null to her surroundings for a moment, so she missed the most recent love confession, but she managed to tune back into her surroundings as Cayde was mentioning Chima only for Scylla to follow-up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"If you are this Sverre we're looking for...would the thrall be interested in an inorganic being? Can't imagine it'd find you appetizing at least." </span>Shion pondered as she looked at the giant hulk of metal before her.</div>

She couldn't help herself from smiling a little. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I didn't think I was that much older than you. More than two entire centuries? Are you sure you want to declare your love to such an elderly lady?”</b></span> She teased a little, hoping to make light of the situation so that she wouldn't sink into that Post Traumatic … something ... again. She still didn't exactly get it, but she knew it was bad and that distracting herself from it apparently helped prevent it. She subconsciously started petting Sophia's head as the latter dug her head into her chest.<br>
<br>
The attempt to distract herself was more difficult when Renee was brought up again. Still, she felt like she had to face some things. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“No, it's... It was horrible, but I think... having done it myself, I can at least... someday, come to terms with it. If someone else would've done it, I'm not sure if I could've forgiven them for it.”</b></span> She shook her head. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Nobody is perfect, especially not me. I ended up biting Hope, I just lost myself to this Trauma stuff and I still have this [monster] side of me that I want to get rid off, or at least diminish. If I don't, it makes me enjoy other's suffering and makes me want to inflect pain on them. I know it's looming within me, so I must not think I'm perfect and instead I must continue to fight it. Renee... I think she wants me to give into it, due to how strong it could make me. I won't let her convince me.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She was a rather startled when Sophia started shouting at the top of her lungs. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Calm down, calm down, please, calm down...”</b></span> She stammered, genuinely caught off guard and having no clue how to respond to any of this. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“I'm grateful, but, ehm... Perhaps not all of Clockhaven needs to be informed...”</b></span> She didn't recall genuinely feeling shy before, as it'd always been a 'Chandra' act, but right now, she sort-off did. She needed a distraction. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Come to think of it, I think it's been lunch-time already, right? How about when everyone's off finding a place to eat, we find a place that's nice, quiet and unlikely to get interrupted in?”</b></span> Right now, this surely wasn't such a place, as Sophia had likely drawn in any curious person or construct in a mile radius by her sudden yelling. Or well, at least she'd highly increased the risk of someone arriving here to come find out what was up.<br>

Inside the factory, the robot was looking at Cayde a bit puzzled. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Why ya be nocking on me 'ead if ya ain't tryna wake me up mate?”</b></span> He replied, his accent being a little all over the place. Why did constructs even have accents to begin with? It was unclear. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Well, it's bloody nice ta meet y'all, mates.”</b></span> He replied, looking at the group.<br>
<br>
However, when he got asked questions, he fell silent. His eyes started flashing again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #5F9EA0">01100101 01110010 01110010 01101111 01110010 00100000 01100100 01100001 01110100 01100001 00100000 01100011 01101111 01110010 01110010 01110101 01110000 01110100 01100101 01100100</span><br>
<br>
Then he spoke up. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Sorry mate, I can't seem to know. Can't say I know any vampires, Chima's or Sverre's. Ain't sure what I was doing 'ere either.”</b></span> <br>

A sigh could be heard coming from behind them, which was odd considering it was a little robotic and masked. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“You're talking to Sverre, but I think the fool tried to erase part of his own memory and got it all jumbled up in there. His eyes give it away. Perhaps the data will be recovered in time, or he'll just stay like this forever.”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Oi, claw lass, do I know ya?”</b></span> He just replied at Morana's statement, but she didn't seem to want to bother answering him. When she didn't answer, he turned to Scylla. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b> “So, purple lass, you be them leader, ey? Aight. Imma just be be following you then, cause me noggin's a little messy.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He stared very intensely at Scylla for a moment. Then his eyes started flashing. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #5F9EA0">01101110 01100101 01110111 00100000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01100100 01100101 01110010 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110000 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100111 01101001 01110011 01110100 01100101 01110010 01100101 01100100</span><br>
<br>
He nodded. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“There we go.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Morana shook her head. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“He actually just registered you as his superior... I don't know what he ran into, but this is madness. He was fairly high up the ladder, but it seems he just got himself a mental hard-reset. I don't think we should be expecting much of him.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
However, when Shion asked him about being inorganic, Morana suddenly connected some dots. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“That's probably why he's still alive. Only a few people knew he was fully inorganic, as he used to pretend he was a normal Human wearing a suit of mechanised armour, like the rest of his men were. If the thrall confused him for that as well, she might've just left him for dead despite him being still alive...”</b></span> <br>
<br>
She looked at him, then made a serious of clicking noises. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC">01110010 01100101 01110001 01110101 01100101 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01100001 01100100 01101101 01101001 01101110 00100000 01100001 01100011 01100011 01100101 01110011 01110011</span><br>
<br>
His eyes flashed back in the pattern.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #5F9EA0">01100100 01100101 01101110 01101001 01100101 01100100</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Worth a shot...”</b></span> She mumbled. She then turned to Cayde. Unlike that fool Sverre, she wasn't going to take leadership from someone so airheaded. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“How do you wish to proceed, sir? Perhaps if we take him to his former men in the scrapyard, it might jog his memory enough for him to remember some things. We could also try setting a trap here, for the thrall. Or perhaps meet with these vampire hunters and get some nourishment?”</b></span> They had a lot of options. She'd also gloss over at Iberis and Shion, valuing their opinion as well by now.</div>

A tinge of sorrow flashed on Cayde's face as he heard out Sverre's predicament. It seemed like the man was suffering from some sort of self-induced amnesia. He'd heard of it before. Back in Ryke, plenty of people came into the apothecary, asking for Nepenthe - a drug of forgetfulness. They always looked the same. Puffy eyes, haggard, miserable. All desperate to escape some loathsome reminder of the past. Probably just like Sverre, Cayde thought. That encounter with the thrall must've <i>really</i> got to him. Poor guy. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright, Sverre, sounds like you're a little lost on things, too," </b></span>He said warmly, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Don't worry. We'll get through this together,"</b></span><br>
<br>
He wondered where to start. Maybe telling Sverre about what led up to his disappearance could spark a memory? He had to try. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Okay, so from what we know, before you ended up here, you and your men were hunting this vampire. But then you stumbled upon its thrall, and..."</span> </b>Cayde shook his head, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You were the only one who got away. And you must've known the thrall didn't <i>actually</i> kill you, so you came here to hide. You've been missing for some time, but the thrall is still looking for you,"</span>  </b>He said, crossing his arms, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"So...does that ring a bell?" </span></b><br>
<br>
There was still a hint of uncertainty in his posture until he heard Morana mention bringing Sverre to the scrapyard. His eyes danced around as he mulled over it. They <i>were</i> going to do that before learning about Sverre's condition. And <i>maybe</i> the trip there could help him remember, if not a meeting with his former men. Surely, there must've been some part hidden in there that wanted justice. It could bring the whole of him back. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Yeah...Yeah, I think we should still take him to the scrapyard. Good thinking, Morana," </b></span>He turned back to Sverre, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"There's another thing. The vampire, we suspect she's capable of necromancy. And unfortunately, the word's gone around that she'd use it to defile the bodies of your men..." </b></span>He said sympathetically before pointing to the warhammer, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"They may be under the vampire's control, but we can still put them to rest and give them the justice they deserve. We want to. And I know you'll want to, too,"</span></b><br>
<br>
After that, Cayde's lips pursed. There was still one more issue. How were they supposed to get Sverre to the scrapyard without alerting the thrall? She'd still be prowling somewhere in the area, and Sverre didn't look the most inconspicuous. They'd need some way to hide him. <br>
<br>
He looked down at the glittering rings on his hand. There was something he <i>could </i>try. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Since the thrall's around here, Sverre's gonna need to be discreet. I may have something to help with that," </b></span>He walked up to Sverre and laid a palm on his arm, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's a spell that'll turn you invisible, and make you a bit quieter, too. Just stick close, follow our lead, and no one will catch on," </b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde closed his eyes, his hands tingling as mana channeled through them. Good, he thought. The technique was working. Now came the hard part: intention. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"<i>[O'stalkers of... </i>erm..." </b></span>He paused, reaching into the pack to pull out his grimoire. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Sorry, still a bit new on the words..." </b></span>He said, clearing his throat and flipping a few pages until he found the spell, <br>
<br>
<b><i>"[O'Stalkers of Yore, O' Poachers of Sight,<br>
O' Erebi of Darkness, O' Hunters of Light,<br>
Let no man see me, nor fae, nor monster, nor beast,<br>
Shroud me in shadows; grant me this feast!]"</i></b><br>
<br>
With the chant complete, Cayde flexed his fingers. He twisted the magic around himself and instead granted the boons of <b>[Stalker's Shroud - E] </b>on Sverre, deciding to quiet the sounds of the construct's movement. <br>

Scylla’s gaze would suddenly flash towards Morana, “He’s.. Sverre?” She questioned, before looking back at him as Sverre questioned Morana, who quite rudely simply wasn’t interested in responding. Scylla sighed, but before she could say anything she was reffered to as ‘purple lass’ to which she automatically knew he was refferring to her. “Purple lass?” She repeated, before chuckling a bit. Then a most peculiar thing happened, after finding out he’d registered her as the leader her eyes lit up. “What?! Is that really..” She exclaimed excitedly before Morana seemed to continue to rain on her parade. “Madness? MADNESS?! No, no no.. this is actually how things should be! Hey uhm.. why dont you do the clickity clockity on me too and make ME your leader? Hm?” When Morana then referred to Cayde, she huffed. “Well, whatever then!” <br>
<br>
Turning to Cayde she walked up to him, “Hey there!” She said nudging him a bit with her elbow. “Don’t look so down, i’m going to make sure our buddy here gets his memory back! Who knows! Maybe, it’ll just come back to him!”  Scylla would tap the construct on the gauntlet. “Isn’t that so Mr.S?” She was amused with herself upon coming up with a nickname. “Yeah, i like the ring of that, do you approve?” As Cayde continued to make his questions, Scylla would inspect him, using [Appraisal E ] granted it wasn’t very strong, but it was worth a shot? <br>
<br>
Adding to Cayde’s first question she began, “Yeah, what is the last thing you remember?” <br>
<br>
The remainder seemed to be a bit out of Scylla’s scope of understanding, however, she caught his drift shortly after. “Ah! Excellent thinking second in command! If we make Mr. S quiet then the thrall wont associate him with us! However, i can’t help but wonder if someone did this to him and he didn’t do it to himself. I mean, Morana here just said he was higher in command. Surely, someone higher up wouldn’t just fragment his own mind? That wouldn’t make sense!”</div>

Iberis naturally smiled back and accepted the celebratory baked good piece, letting out a soft warm  thank you in response, figuring why not since Scylla seemed intent on celebrating, It was much better than Mad Maw's Pocket Bologna at the very least. Of course the surprise had shaken things up a bit as had Shion's surprise, causing Iberis to look over at provide a reassuring look as she got a bit closer to Shion seeing the obvious  visible signs that this ordeal was making her uneasy.<br>
----<br>
Iberis was a bit relieved to see that they weren't in the midst of a mechanized melee after the construct awoke. Unfortunately while based on what Morana said this was indeed the person they were looking for it sounded like  for one reason or another they were dealing with a construct that was suffering from some kind of memory loss.  Whatever had caused it, the group now had to deal with it regardless. All that Morana shared made enough sense to Iberis, who looked a bit less guarded now as it became increasingly apparent that there weren't any obvious hostiles around her for the time being, as she lessened the grip on her staff.<br>
<br>
She was pleasantly surprised to see Morana glance over at her and Shion, which she hadn't done prior, perhaps this meant that the idea of them being a team was becoming more real to the constructs in their presence. it was interesting to say the least that now one registered Scylla as the leader and the other one had registered Cayde, even if Morana had been given permission to act on her own accord under certain circumstances  from the Baron himself, which Iberis was still none the wiser to thanks to not understanding analog.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"We'll do what we can to get your memory back."</span><br>
<br>
Iberis reaffirmed her belief that was what they needed to try to do moving forward regardless how they did it. Thankfully what Cayde said once more, which arguably sounded very first in command despite his desire to pass the responsibility off, was well received by Iberis once again. Clear distinct planning with a way to move forward with these risky situations made her feel much safer than she would otherwise, so seeing Cayde come up with stuff like this was quite helpful.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Personally I'm inclined to agree with Cayde on this one. I think getting him to the scrapyard is a good idea, hopefully we can jumpstart some kind of memory jog. Unfortunately constructs aren't really my forte, otherwise I might be able to use something Auldlich shared with me to try to address this memory issue. But magic certainly is in my skillset and in my opinion, I think that Cayde's idea to conceal Sverre using it, is a good idea, as far as I can tell whatever Cayde just casted seems like it'll get Sverre where we need to go more safely, so I'm all for that. We can always explore some of the avenues which Morana mentioned after if need be. If any thing tries to harm us, I have plenty to contribute to our self defense too." </span> Iberis gave her feedback forward and to the point.</div>

The temptation to just sink her teeth into Sophia right then and there was real, but she managed to resist it. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“As appealing as that offer is... I shouldn't get too distracted. I've asked everyone to help me out, so going off and enjoying lunch whilst the rest is still working wouldn't be good. Besides... absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Don't worry. I know my limits and I know my current thirst is desire rather than need. I can handle a little more waiting...”</b></span> For a moment, she hesitated, but then she added with a whisper. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Though you'd better brace yourself, as kisses from this elderly lady don't come cheap, so I'll be getting my fill later as a compensations for this~”</b></span> She gave Sophia a wink, before suddenly planting a kiss on her lips.<br>
<br>
It felt weird, but in a good way. With all her emotions messed up from her recent trauma episode, having at least one positive emotion welling up like this was comforting. She wasn't even fully sure how to describe that emotion. It was love, but with an overwhelming sense of gratitude beneath it. The fact that someone was this loyal and nice to her, something she hadn't experienced in her past or current life, was a little overwhelming. Enough to feel confused about it, yet part of her didn't want to be led around, part of her wanted to lead instead, so she'd taken the initiative. What Sophia could tell her with words, she could answer with a single action. Besides, now that she'd paid the price, the Fae would owe her later~ It was a good thing to look forward to and to think about in order to distract herself from having to enter that factory again...<br>

Sverre looked at Cayde, listening to the latter's story. He shook his head. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Mate, I ain't got no clue what ya be yapping about. Me men ain't wussies, they be beating ya thrall, I bet ya!”</b></span> He answered. Accent still all over the place. Perhaps his language module got damaged at some point. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“I be here for... for...”</b></span> He tried to recall why he was here to begin with. <br>
<br>
His eyes started flashing again. <span style="color: #5F9EA0">01100101 01110010 01110010 01101111 01110010 00100000 01100100 01100001 01110100 01100001 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110101 01101110 01100100</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“That be odd, I ain't got no clue why I be here.”</b></span> He then looked at his warhammer, as Cayde pointed at it. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Oi! There she is! Me trusted girl! She been good, ey?”</b></span> He said, lifting up the hammer with ease. Was it smart to let a construct with its brain this messy carry around a weapon like that..? Well, it was certainly too late to stop it now. <br>
<br>
He didn't object to being hidden by [Stalker's Shroud], which made him vanish from sight for all those who didn't have the appropriate skill to see through the [Undetected F Sight] such as (Heightened Sight). That included Sverre himself. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Oi, I can't see me arms!”</b></span> He said, as one thing stood out a lot. A floating hammer. That thing didn't exactly vanish from sight.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Mr.S”</b></span> He repeated, as Scylla managed to tap his gauntlet just before Cayde had made him vanish from sight. Even though most of him was hidden from sight, short after, his flashing eyes could still be spotted. <span style="color: #5F9EA0">01101110 01100001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100111 01101001 01110011 01110100 01100101 01110010 01100101 01100100</span><br>

Scylla's appraisal would already be a little low-grade, but with him having vanished from sight by now, she couldn't make heads or tails of it. Even the hammer was too high-graded to appraise without the aid of secondary skills. He did, however, answer her question. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“I remember... I got me a mission from higher up. To... to... Catch a monster! That must be ya vampire ey? I wonder if me and me men got her.”</b></span> He clearly wasn't exactly processing all the information they were feeding him right now.<br>

Even through glazed-out eyes, Morana glared at Scylla. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“His eyes speak volumes. He did this to himself, whether you believe it or not.”</b></span> She stated. Then she added a thing. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Just so you know, the fool gave you full admin access, so your words are pretty much law to him right now. Best you consider them carefully.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Shion's attempts to get into Sverre's mind weren't going as smoothly as before. First of all, she had to feel around to find his body. Once that was done, she immediately felt more resistance. Whether subconsciously or consciously, he didn't want this. That meant that all she really gathered were some superficial analog  thoughts, which she couldn't translate or make sense off. <br>
<br>
With the group settling on heading for the scrapyard, Morana took the lead again. She led them out of the factory and to a nearby train station. The scrapyard was a fair bit out of town, so walking there would take ages. After showing some sort of ID, Morana managed to get them all on board with ease. The line they were on clearly wasn't used a lot by passengers, as most of the wagons in the train they were on were carrying goods instead. In fact, after a few stops in the outskirts of the city, they had the wagon to themselves.<br>

Having this wagon to themselves presented Kalina with the perfect chance, so she'd set a plan in motion that she'd been brewing for a while now. She sat down besides Iberis, then leaned in to whisper into her ear. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hey, I've got a great idea that I need your help with~”</b></span></span> She started off, not unable to suppress a smile at the thought of her own plotting. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“You saw how Shion reacted when Scylla petted her tail at first, right? She clearly liked it.”</b></span></span> Thus far Kalina had been honest, the next part had some (Deception D) mixed in. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“I bet it must be some beast ritual, a sign of trust so...”</b></span></span> She stopped herself. <br>
<br>
That was odd. She had a perfect excuse and plan ready. Yet pursuing it in this manner felt off. Why? Actually, was it because..? Did she feel hesitant to lie to her friends? The realisation surprised her, but she quickly readjusted her plan. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Scrap that, I'll be honest, I'm just really curious to what it'd feel like to pet it as well. You must be too right? I saw you already managed to get along with her, so I'm sure she'll let you. However, I'm not sure if she'd let me and even if she would, my hands would be cold and unpleasant to be touched by. Could you do me a favour? How about we ask her to pet her tail together and you help me warm up my hands for a bit by holding them. If she lets us go through with it, we'll be able to win out on two points~ I know she's onto me, so if she lets us do that, it means she isn't lying when she acts like she trusts me regardless. Secondly, we get to pet a tail~ How could you not what to try that? So that'd be two wins, right?”</b></span></span> Kalina's excitement was clear. Was she a corrupting force on Iberis? Perhaps, perhaps. It didn't stop her from pursing such a plan. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Are you in? Here, hold them for a bit, then go ask her. I'll back you up. It'll be fun~”</b></span></span> Kalina whispered, holding out both her hands for Iberis to grab onto.<br>

As they were in the train, Morana had been staring ahead in boredom for a while. Eventually, she decided to break that by addressing Sophia. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Say, you mentioned being able to forge prosthetics before. Let's say I might at one point consider having at least one of my hands made with fingers a little more on the useful side, or perhaps have the current one upgraded to be a bit more normal...”</b></span> She she opened and closed the fingers on her left hand, showing they didn't move as naturally as actual fingers and that their slightly pointed tips likely didn't exactly have ideal grip options. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“How much would you charge for such a thing?”</b></span> <br>

Meanwhile, Mr.S had enjoyed being The Invisible Mr.S for a bit, although he'd ran into people a lot on the station. Turns out its pretty difficult to dodge an invisible giant heading your way in the station. Most folk were pretty darn confused by it (until or unless Cayde would cancel his ability). Now that they were in the wagon, he was staring intensely at Scylla. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Say, leader, could I call ya' miss purple? Anyhow, could ya tell me what ya be expecting of me?

Sophia's eyes widened as she felt the cold lips press against hers, but instead of uncomfortable, it felt truly perfect. As if they were sharing a bit of themselves in the kiss, her warmth and the coolness of Kalina. Her legs wobbled, almost threatening to give out as she was overwhelmed with love for the lady in front of her. Her claws came up and gripped the other girl's clothes, holding on for dear life as her legs almost gave out, her eyes closing as she wished for this moment to last forever~ And for Kalina, the small noise of happiness that seemed to come straight from her soul told her enough of how much Sophia had been dearly wishing for this moment.<br>
<br>
However, all good things come to an end, and when the kiss broke up, she stared almost worshipfully at the other lady, her legs finally gaining back enough sturdiness for her to stand on her own, and once she had, she gave a shy smile. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Thank you. Whenever you want your part of the deal, I'll offer it in full~"</span> She followed with Kalina, one of her claws reaching down to hold the vampires hand, giving it a small, loving squeeze.<br>​</div><hr><div style="text-align: center"><br>
Once they entered the train, Sophia couldn't help but wonder at how intricate it was. Of course, it was nowhere near as efficient as the public transit back at home, but it had a charm that those ones couldn't hope to achieve. Her eyes slowly traced the machinery at the top, making sure to remember it in order to possibly recreate it in the future, before her eyes landed on another member of the party. Scylla, she believed. She plopped herself down next to the witch, as Kalina seemed to be preoccupied with the fluffy tail heist, and examined the girl a bit closer. She leaned in, whispering to the witch, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"So, firebug, I hear you've given Kalina a taste?"</span> She grinned and said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, I guess I won't mind sharing too much. Though, considering she's an employee of mine, and my love, if you do want to share her, you better treat her right~"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">She pulled away when Morana asked the question, her face thoughtful. </span><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Well, it depends on what you want. Though, unless you want your prosthetic enchanted, which would require it being mithril, I don't believe it will break the bank for you. And if you stop talking in binary so much, I might even give you the friend discount, and hell, I'd even add in sense of touch for free."</span><span style="color: null"> She paused before amending her statement, saying, </span><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It isn't because I don't like the sound or anything. With everyone talking like that around us, it's almost like we're being left out of half of the conversation, and it's not the best feeling... Hell, I'd even take you actually translating what you and others are saying into common if that would be better. I had to deal with a few people of other cultures in my past life, since I did a bit of traveling for study, and quite a few times I only learned after that I was being insulted to my face by someone. I think something as simple as that type of thing would grow the group's trust in you quite a bit."</span>​</div></div>

A slight gasp erupted from Cayde as he watched Sverre disappear. He peered down at his hands, mana still tingling at his fingertips. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Holy crap,"</span> </i></b>He thought, his eyes shooting open. It seemed like forever since he'd last used that spell. Couldn't remember using it on someone else, either. Seeing it work felt weirdly uncanny. Like s<i>omething</i> should've gone wrong. But as Cayde looked up to where Sverre used to be, the thought twisted into something else. A bug, skittering around his mind, spouting insecurities. He imagined himself crushing it under his heel, a sense of pride coursing through him. Then the bug was gone. Only the warm feeling of confidence remained.<br>
<br>
An amused smile crept onto his face. Then, he realized he was staring at his hands. Probably should stop doing that. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"O-Okay! Look's like the spell went well," </b></span>Cayde said, shoving his hands into his pockets, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Alright, let's get outta here," </b></span>And as the party did, another thought came to mind. He'd have to stay focused to keep the spell from fraying. So, what if there <i>was</i> a distraction? What if they saw the thrall? What could he -<br>
<br>
He turned the thoughts into bugs and crushed them, too. Too small to worry about, he told himself. And besides, how hard could it be to stay focused? <br>
<br>
Pretty hard, it seemed. It was tough enough keeping close to Sverre, but every bump in the station felt like an actual <i>bump</i> in his focus. <i>Telekinesis </i>was the go-to answer for every concerned citizen. Though even speaking felt like it took great effort. Eventually, Cayde made it inside the train, wearily plopping onto the seats. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Geez..." </b></span>He sighed, looking at Iberis and Scylla, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Is it <i>this</i> hard for you, too? Feels like I crawled up a mountain..." </b></span>He leaned back in his seat as the wagon started to move on. He noticed less and less people were riding the farther they went. A good sign. It meant he didn't have to keep this spell up any longer. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"It's just us now. Won't be needing this anymore," </b></span>He said, clapping his hands, unlinking his focus, and releasing Sverre from <b>[Stalker's Shroud]. </b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Thank God..." </b></span><br>
<br>
Finally, there was some downtime. Cayde looked around as everyone started chatting, wondering what to do next. Maybe talk to Sverre, and try to dig for something he <i>could</i> remember? Maybe make something to get rid of this <i>awful</i> tiredness? Or, speak to Shion about what she found? <br>
<br>
The last one sounded the most tempting. It would've been the <i>perfect</i> opportunity to learn something. About her, Kalina, <i>offworlders.</i> A three-in-one bundle. It'd be great! <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hey, Shion, doing okay?" </b></span>He called, moving closer and lowering his voice, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"You said you found something back in the factory. What was that about?" </b></span></div>

For better or for worse, they now had a mentally questionable construct who was invisible wielding potentially a deadly weapon. No one even knew what grade he was besides perhaps Morana, but no one was asking, and it would be arguably a bit strange to ask if they wanted to seem trusting, so for now Iberis wasn't going to move on the issue despite it being in the back of her mind. Of course she could try to use her appraisal in combination with a spell, but that would be pretty difficult to pull off without being noticed and needing to cover for the reason that she was moving her staff around and making noise even if quietly. At the very least Morana confirmed that he had done it to himself, perhaps there had been some protocol which he had followed, maybe he learned something that no one else could be trusted with? There were so many reasons why someone might choose to do that which Iberis could think of, but nothing she felt comfortable asking in that moment. They just needed to get him from point A to point B at this point without causing any issues if possible.<br>
---<br>
While they were on the move as a group Iberis stayed near whoever was closer between Scylla and Shion, looking around at the city scape curiously. It was all so vast and interesting to the witchy youth, it was a shame that she couldn't easily spend more time there on leisure given this pressing job. Regardless she made her way to the station which was also very new and strange..yet somehow almost familiar  to her? As if something in the back of her mind was telling her that she had been in a place like this before, but for some reason she couldn't tell why..some sort of deja vu that she couldn't quite put her finger on. Nevertheless it was impressive how much of a non Issue getting through Morana made things, she could only assume it had to give her some clearance level due to her being close to the Baron. The train was also similar to Iberis, in that it felt even more familiar, alas Iberis was still not remembering her past life in which she had opted to use public transport many times in the subway station to and from Tokyo. She took notice of Cayde's hardship and question<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I guess it takes some  getting used too, I wasn't really sure what I was doing at first honest..so it took some time before I could do anything close to what I can now."</span> Iberis replied, just to let him know that he wasn't the only one, granted it had been Renee who had accelerated things in her abilities, which did loom in her mind some after she spoke.<br>
<br>
At the very least it looked like they were finally going to get some decent privacy out of this whole ordeal which was very much welcome, with a more isolated cart. She took in the conversation around her curiously, not quite expecting Chandra to take a seat so closely to her and start speaking to her like this, in this..almost suggestive sounding way, it almost reminded her of the way that letter felt, wondering in the back of her mind if Chandra had meant what she wrote, with how 'well' she was getting along with others. Truthfully Iberis wasn't really sure what to make of the tail business and why Chandra was interested in it, It wasn't exactly very often the opportunity presented itself she supposed, nevertheless she was fine helping Chandra out with that, giving her a bit of a smile and a nod, before reaching out and gently holding Chandra's presumably chill  hands, gently rubbing he much warmer ones against them. Before Iberis looked once more up to Chandra and said a bit softly, perhaps there being a gentle pinkness to her face.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)"><span style="font-size: 10px">"Say, you remember that letter you wrote? I know my response..maybe wasn't as ..poised as yours? but, if you ever still wanted to do that thing, you said, I wouldn't mind.., and I'd still like to go to the See with you too when we have some time, maybe..we could bring Shion along too, she's..been really kind and I learned a lot about her earlier, I think she's..safe."  </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px">Iberis replied quietly while she warmed, very much. Giving her some time to reply, as she continued the rubbing.</span></div>

<br>
“Geez! Temper, temper!” Scylla replied to Morana, then upon Morana’s insnuation she wasn’t taking the mission seriously, “What is that supposed to mean!? I’m the very definition of ‘careful’.” She sounded more like she was trying to convince herself than to state a fact. What was Moranas deal? <br>
<br>
Scylla listened in on Sverre’s talk with Cayde, especially the bit about him not believing his men were the weakling types. “You dont say?” She mumbled with an index finger to her bottom lip in deep pondering. The the bit about his ‘lady weapon’, “Oh! So this weapon of yours, it’s quite dangerous looking..” She pointed at it a bit shyly, “..are you sure you remember how to use it? It wont just suddenly go off and do something unpredictable will it?” A hint of worry in her voice. Then Sverre, suddenly disappeared! Only leaving the prozed weapon visible, “Pfft! Yeah, that wont do.” She crossed her arms as she tried to frame Sverre in a metaphorical situation, “Although i don’t mind this new appearance, could you imagine us walking into a public place with this huge hammer thing right behind me?” Her whole frame would uplift quite a bit, “HA! Scylla and the floating hammer, they’d say!” She chuckled to herself a bit. “Yeah. Mr.S. You like it? I think it has a ring to it! Make’s it sound like youre an academy teacher just like me!” <br>
<br>
Then the more, serious details in the constructs words. “Catch a monster?” She leaned into Sverre’s face, “I don’t mean to push your memories further, but, any chance you’d have any recollection of this vampire? That would.. well.. kind of be a big deal.” She nodded, as she placed a hand over where his own hand would be. Although he was a construct, Scylla was rather fond of this Sverre. Perhaps it was because he was so willing and quick to regiuster her as the leader, she felt respnsible for his wellbeing. “Look, just be careful with that hammer thing of yours, okay? That thing could totally do some damage.” She attempted a smile, which came out a bit nervously. <br>
<br>
As Morana took the lead, Scylla walked somewhat behind her, not too close however, lest she’d be sliced by her razor sharp claws. However, she’d take the risk when the female construct flashed her ID, to which Scylla would pop out from in between her arm and torso. “Ooooooo! Secret access!!” She’d exclaim happily, before skipping into the train finishing with a light jump. “My word, i haven’t ridden a train in ages! This.. is.. going to be so fun! Isn’t it Morana?” <br>
<br>
Her happy grin would dissipate when people would appear to bump into an invisible obstacle as it made its way to the seat infront of her, as Mr.S sat, he bagan to stare at her intensely. The witch would look away, then catch his gaze, before repeating again and again and again, growing more and more nervous each time. Finally, too nervous and anxious to bear the weight of his empty hollow stare she leaned forward in her seat. “What?” He then began, to which Scylla couldn’t help but bow her head with a deep sigh of relief. “I thought i might have formed a wrinkle on my face or something.” She looked up, “Yeah you bet! Pffft! ‘Miss Purple’ i like that. I suppose its only fair since i called you Mr.S right?” Then upon his objectives, “Well, i surely do believe we cover each others strenths and weaknesses. You know? It seem’s like you can totally wield that hammer thing, and well, i got quite a few spells under my hat! So.. lets just be a good team together hm? Maybe we’ll crack thit mystery!” Upon him losing his memories, it was a bit more complex, mainly because there wasn’t much other than speculation, “Well, i guess it remains to be known? I’m sure that, when we find this vampire he’ll have many more answers. Well, i hope.” <br>
<br>
—<br>
<br>
Once her conversation with Sverre aka Mr.S was done, she’d address Sohpia. First her voice was difficiult to not recognize, what was more so appealing was how she called her a ‘firebug’. Instantly provoking a smile, her ords rested upon the bug lady, but not before blushing violently. “T-taste?!” She repeated before realizing what she meant, “Oh? You mean, when my finger..” She chuckled nervously, albeit softly as to not bring herself any unwanted attention. “You’d.. share.. her?” She stuttered with slight disbelief, but really, the devil in her was thrilled. “How does it feel? You know? To be bit by a vampire?” She couldn’t help but assume that’s what had happened between them at some point. Then the girl would take her hand, gasping softly she looked down to see her holding her hand. This time, it was much better understood, looking back up at Sophia, “I’ll.. give my best.” She admitted. It was quite the shocking turn of events, she thought she’d have to really work at it much harder, but, perhaps she was coming to conclusions much too soon in her naivee little mind. She’d finally relax, giving Sophia a gentle smile before taking her hand in both of hers. <br>
<br>
After that, she’d lean back in her seat, closing her eyes confidenlty as she crossed her arms, “So.. how long till’ we get there?” She asked to no one in particular.</div>

(<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Blue</span> = Common, <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>Blue+Bold+Italics</i></b></span> = Common Telepathy)<br>​</div>Despite her best efforts, Shion was forced out of Sverre's mind. She recoiled and swore under her breath, sighing in resignation for the time being that she just didn't have a strong enough control of her magic again yet. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Damnit...was worth a shot I guess..."</span><br>
<br>
However, one thing <i>did</i> stick out to Shion. Sverre's mind, or heart, or whatever it was...it felt eerily familiar. It felt <i>alive</i> to her. How was this possible? Did humans in this world discover a way to create life? If that was really true, did she have any right to judge this place on its balance when its equilibrium might hinge on something entirely different to what Shion was used to? No, Shion didn't think that was the right call. She never did love human civilizations, but she could at least feel <i>some</i> semblance of peace within their walls. Here...no where Shion looked carried that feeling to her. Everything felt...cold, and distant, as if this city was as cruel to its occupants as it was to desecrating the likely once beautiful landscapes that stood where now metallic...contraptions and other useless commodities did.<br>
<br>
As much as she hated the idea, maybe returning to this place at a future date wouldn't be the worst idea to investigate. Could she really stomach it alone, though? She closed her eyes in thought before realizing she was getting swept up in her own head.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I wasn't able to jog anything loose. He's traumatized...whatever he's forgotten, he doesn't want to remember it."</span> She said to everyone within earshot of her back in factory before their next course of action was discussed and decided on.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Shion stood leaned against an opening between the seats with her arms and legs crossed. She'd been stuck in her own thoughts the entire way, unable to shake her discomfort trying to pry open Sverre's mind for information. Regardless of what she felt, she still kinda hated herself for doing it. She didn't ask for permission, she didn't warn him, she just...did it. She attempted to invade his privacy without any consideration for his well being. That was wrong. What she did was wrong. It's what hu...it's what horrible people would stoop to in order to greedily pursue their desires. She grit her teeth, the thought disgusted her. She would apologize later. Sure, she learned nothing, but that didn't undue what she had done.<br>
<br>
The memories and emotions on the surface, that was one thing to her, that wasn't peering into someone's very core of someone's being to force out things they clearly didn't want. Well...was she making excuses? Did she have any issues feeling Chandra's memories? Knowing she was a vampire now without her consent? Then again, how long would it have taken Chandra to trust her personally to tell her that when she honestly had nothing to fear? This way Shion could just tell her that directly without worry, no faked meekness to dance around to meet the real person.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>The real person...</i></span><span style="color: null">There, was that her motivation? She'd spent so long wondering if she could trust humans, even the ones she liked, because part of her mind always lay uncertain. But with this new power...did she have to fear their motivations anymore? Maybe this was a good thing, to help her grow closer to the ones that deserved it...and punish those that deserved it. Her grimace faded, now managing to etch her resolve into her mind. This newfound power...she would use it just as she had everything she'd learn. To protect the spirits, to protect her friends, to make memories worth cherishing...and to kill anyone that dared threaten her ideals. Still, prying into the minds of others was an invasion of privacy, even friends, she didn't want to abuse this power, she'd just have to be careful just like everything else she applied over her long years.<br>
<br>
Then Cayde approached her amidst her thoughts and it slightly startled her, causing her to jump just a bit to where Cayde was the only one that would notice. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Huh?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">She listened to Cayde's words, curious how to proceed. She briefly gazed around the cart, aware of those that should be privy to what she should share with him...and who shouldn't hear it. She closed her eyes as she responded to Cayde, covering the fact her eyes had begun to glow as her mind entered the abstract. She did smile in his direction though so she didn't look entirely odd in her visage and posture.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Thank you for your concern, Cayde, I am...managing. I still am not a fan of this place very much, but...all of you are helping me cope with it decently."</span><span style="color: null"> She informed him, now was the tricky part. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"As for what I found...Seems my magical prowess has awakened an entirely new sensation for me, I was just so surprised I'm curious what new fonts of knowledge it will grant me."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Now the hard part, trying to convey to him through this river of memories and emotions...she just needed words to reach him right now, not necessarily her feelings. She focused as she spoke aloud, managing to send additional information to Cayde's mind <b>[Telepathically (F)].</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>"Cayde, do not be alarmed, this is Shion, I appear to have gained access to the abstract sensation of telepathy. I may even be able to pick up your response."</i></b> </span>She hoped this could serve as a two way street...actually, she was able to sense everyone's mental states earlier, surely she could pick up on Cayde's thoughts if he were to return them. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><i><b>"When Chandra's episode happened earlier and I grabbed hold of her...let's just say I saw everything, heard the other side of her conversation with her sister, all of it...I know she's a vampire now...you have nothing to be worried about. I've seen plenty the amount of trust you all put into her, and frankly...you're not selling me very well on the idea of all monsters being rotten piles of sin."</b></i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion chuckled after her telepathic message reached Cayde, one of her eyes peeked open about halfway, showing Cayde her glowing eyes to indicate her magic was flowing right now. </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><i><b>"I jest, I understand your warnings very clearly. Still...seems some may be able to be reached...perhaps this power will help me accomplish just that..."</b></i></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: null">Shion would open her eyes once she'd receive Cayde's response mentally, along with a </span><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"But I'll just have to see what form that will take."</span><span style="color: null"> She said, playing off the things she last said both verbally and mentally.</span></div>

<br>
Strange. She'd thought about having her hands be warmed as a necessary step in the process, not as something that might be nice in and of itself. Yet it was. Perhaps it was the gentle manner with which Iberis went about it? It was just so adorable that it was tough not to like it. Well, that much was true for Iberis in general. It's why a big smile formed on Kalina's lips when Iberis mentioned the letter. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Of course I remember~”</b></span></span> Oho, Iberis wouldn't mind? Well then~ <br>
<br>
A little sad that she had to break the hand-holding off for it, Kalina pulled her hands away only to dive back in and wrap her arms around Iberis. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hmhm, every bit as great as imagined~”</b></span></span> She whispered. Definitely the most cuddly witch on the block. Solid 11/10 would cuddle again. She let one of her hands go through Iberis' hair. It was pretty long and a little rough, almost like a pelt of a sheep. Still, that definitely had its own charms to it. It also made it pretty nice and soft to the touch. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Hmmm.”</b></span></span> She hummed happily, before getting back to business. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“That might be nice, yes. Anyhow, we've got some missions to finish. Starting with that tail~ I think it's not just my hands that are all warmed up now~”</b></span></span> She said, before letting go of Iberis again and standing up. <br>
<br>
Now that she knew Iberis trusted Shion a lot as well, Kalina figured she didn't need to keep up much of an act. Even Morana knew there was more to her now and Sverre was just a mess of bolts and whatnot it seemed, so it'd be fine to have a little bit of fun. In fact, perhaps she didn't even need Iberis to initiate. Nope, she had her plan figured out, so she'd get up and gently pull Iberis along the moment she noticed Cayde distancing himself a little from Shion again. <br>
<br>
Shion wanted for them to ask her first, right? Then by all means, she'd ask her~ Completely unaware of the telepathic conversation that had occurred between Shion and Cayde, she'd approach with a smile, then she'd give Shion a deep and exaggerated bow. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Oh noble keeper of the sacred fluff, me and Iberis here wish to humbly request an audience with thou fur, so that our hands may be blessed with the sensation of heaven~”</b></span> There! How was that for asking? She'd show Scylla how it was done~ <br>
<br>
There was no deception there either, but there was one small thing. Even though she was mostly led by curiosity and desire, she'd not lied about hoping to figure out more about how genuinely Shion was willing to accept her despite her nature. As such, despite all her joking, she was alert. She was ready to see what she could learn from Shion's reaction.<br>

Mr.S Was paying careful attention to miss purple. She was his new leader, after all. They were going to become the undead slaying due of he century. Possibly. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Ma hammer? She be ma hammer. She hammer 'em good!”</b></span> He replied. Either he'd forgotten there was something special about it or there was nothing special about it to begin with. Both were equally likely options.<br>
<br>
When he was asked if he remembered more about the vampire, his eyes started flashing again. <span style="color: #5F9EA0">01100101 01110010 01110010 01101111 01110010 00100000 01101001 01101110 01100110 01101111 01110010 01101101 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110101 01101110 01100001 01110110 01100001 01101001 01101100 01100001 01100010 01101100 01100101</span><br>
<br>
After a bit, he shook his head. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Ma apologies, miss purple, I can't recall.”</b></span> The 'floating' hammer carried by the invisible Mr.S seemed to be held ever so more solidly after Scylla told him to be careful with it. However, it did get her a question later. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Ma hammer... she be made to damage 'em, ya know? You don't want me ta use use 'er?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Still, Scylla was a mystery to him. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Ya keep ya spell under ya hat?”</b></span> That didn't compute. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Ya got a spell-book there?”</b></span> He was pretty sure he didn't even know much about magic before his memory got ruined, so he'd definitely not know it right now. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“By the way, miss purple, if them's be right, right, would ya... would ya want me to... ya know... fight me own men? I hafta say... I'm... not sure.”</b></span> He said, clearly conflicted on the idea of it, even with his memory being as jumbled up as it was. <br>

Morana just sighed at hearing Scylla and Sverre converse, even louder at the 'fun train ride' part of it. Considering her mask, she was likely going out of her way to sigh, rather than doing so naturally. <br>
<br>
Sophia's reply had her wondering for a while. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'll leave the enchanted hands to that halfling...”</b></span> She mumbled, shaking her head. However, another mention did catch her attention. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Is that true? Can you really give it a sense of touch?”</b></span> She'd honestly given up on ever being able to feel something again with her fingers. For as little emotion as her voice normally betrayed, there seemed to be a bit of excitement there.<br>
<br>
That vanished quickly when she started talking about binary. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I could translate Sverre's eyes for all of you. They're basically a window into his soul right now, broken as it is. Flashing warnings and errors more often than not. He really messed himself up.”</b></span> That was one offer she could make. Still, the other part... <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I'm afraid the only trust I need is the amount needed to cooperate for the mission. Nothing more, nothing less.”</b></span> Something had stopped her from trying to get along, although it was clear what was keeping her.<br>
<br>
However, she wasn't done with Sophia just yet. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Let me ask you something. We've all heard how much you love that adventurer over there. Let's say that you come home from your work one day and learn that she got killed in accident, which was caused by someone being careless and irresponsible. Furthermore, you also learn that due to their friends in high places, they'll face neither criminal titles nor any other sort of punishment. What would you do?”</b></span><br>
<br>
As she was giving Sophia some time to think, she figured she'd discuss something with Cayde. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Sir, if Sverre's men are truly resurrected, they'll likely be hostile. Would you allow me to freely engage them in any manner I deem fit?”</b></span> She wanted the approval to go all-out. Her combat arm was creaking for some action.</div>

Sophia held up a claw to Scylla to put a pin in the conversation as the one with the cyborg began, not wanting Morana to overhear anything. As to the question asked, she nodded. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm an expert in blacksmithing, artifice, and enchantment. And I've done it before. To be honest, making the arm and hand function correctly is much more difficult than giving it feeling, so it shouldn't be a problem. But if you want someone else to do the enchanting, I should probably make it from mithril from the get go. That way upgrades can be done more easily without worry of damaging it."</span><br>
<br>
She shrugged at the refusal, and when asked the question, she said, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"It would be difficult... I guess it would depend on in the person was remorseful and the reason the accident happened. If it was a genuine accident that they were remorseful for, I would definitely be pissed and would probably go tell them off at the top of my lungs, but it might stop at that. But if it was willful negligence, they are not really remorseful, I would be receiving my own little criminal title. And then I'd receive more to deal with their friends in high places. Of course, I'd do everything in my power to remove those titles, as I would be a hypocrite if I didn't, but still."</span> She shrugged. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"However, those are only hypotheticals. And if you know a person who might be in that position where they were willfully negligent and killed someone because of that, and weren't remorseful, tell them to fuck themselves." </span>She paused for a few moments before saying, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And also, if you bring up another hypothetical like that again, I'm going to ignore you completely from that point onwards. And that would mean no purchasing replacement arms from me." </span>With that she stood, walking over to Kalina and plopping down on her lap, leaning back onto her chest as she did her best to get out of that pissed mood she was now stuck in.​</div></div>

Cayde nodded along sympathetically as Shion shared her thoughts about the city. The distaste in her voice was palpable but not entirely unfamiliar. <b>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">City's getting to you, too? Yeah, I get it. I'm more of a woodsman myself,"</span> </b>He said, tapping the butt of his crossbow, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Cities like this can get <i>overwhelming.</i> Too loud, too crowded, too smelly, too <i>unnatural</i>. They're all the same. Doesn't matter where you go,"</span> </b>He shrugged his shoulders, a slight chuckle forming in his chest, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"They suck, but you get used to 'em. Especially if you've got someone to walk with you. To guide you. To make things cozier, y'know?"</span> </b>He said warmly, giving Shion a thumbs-up, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm glad we all can be that someone for you. Everybody needs one." </span></b><br>
After expressing that sentiment, surprise rose Cayde's eyebrows as he heard Shion's voice sound in his mind. He felt his body tense up, instinctively trying to reject the new sensation. He gritted his teeth, willing himself to stop. There would be none of that. Just breathe. Relax. Let her through. Even if she did find out about the secret. <b><i>"<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">So, you know too now. That's..."</span></i></b> A pause, confliction taking root in his mind, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I mean, it's good to know that you know. I'm sure she would've told you later anyway. But it's just with all this talk about sisters, past lives, and such...</span></i></b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"</span> A sigh blew through his mind, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm supposed to be her friend, yet I know nothing about her. I've no clue how or why she's one of the 'good' monsters. Or how she was before she became a vampire. Hell, I don't even know if she's in this city to help or..."</span></i></b> <br>
<br>
Cayde shook his head, <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sorry, I'm oversharing. I'm sure your power will do wonders to reveal the 'good' monsters. There has to be something inside that only you could see."</span> </i></b>He peeked over her shoulder, his eyes trailing to Kalina approaching them. Cayde chuckled as she made her regal <i>request</i>. Great, now Shion had to worry about her and Iberis too. Oh, the misery. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Just be sure to watch your <i>tail</i>," </span></b><br>
Turning to lean back in his seat, Cayde heard Morana ask for a command. He quickly straightened out, lips pursing underneath his mask. Her voice sounded awfully <i>eager, </i>he thought. Maybe she just wanted to get into a fight? Or was it something else? <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You don't need my permission, Morana. If you need to defend yourself, do what you gotta do,"</span></b> He looked at Sverre, Sophia, then back at Morana. Her hypothetical question floated back into his memory. It sounded strangely <i>personal</i>. Way too descript to be a run-of-the-mill question. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But I'm still hung up on that question, yeah?"</span></b> He asked, lowering his voice, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I don't want to pry, but is there something I need to know before we arrive?"</span></b></div>

Iberis still felt a tad flushed when Kalina shifted from receiving hand rubbing up to embracing her, as Iberis reciprocated the motion, putting an arm around Kalina, leaning into her some, an answer became very clear to Iberis's internal dialogue with herself, Kalina was more than willing to give some affection physically. The way Kalina felt her hair, made Iberis feel more at ease truthfully, as she found herself smiling pretty quickly. Not expecting to hear Kalina speak so directly about how..good she felt, it felt incredibly nice to Iberis to feel wanted in some way, something that she hadn't really felt most of her life. Hearing the happy humming was also very relaxing to the witchy one.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I guess your right..there's quite a bit for us to..get done." </span>Iberis replied not as quietly but still softly feeling a bit saddened by this development. It had almost all felt theraputic to Iberis after what they had been through together. Regardless she was right, there was important stuff to attend to and  if Kalina was so inclined they always had time later  to more properly enjoy one another's close company.<br>
<br>
After Kalina rose it wasn't long before Iberis did too as she was pulled along, she suspected she was going to head over regardless but she had been so caught up with Kalina that it wasn't like she had been paying much attention to what others had been saying during that on the train telepathic or not. Truthfully she would have been quite interested in the conversation that Scylla and Sophia had been having had she heard.<br>
<br>
Regardless it was definitely go time on the tail. She stood beside Chandra, looking between Cayde and Shion, and before she knew what was coming Kalina was spouting off one of the most thematic ways one could probably ask if they could feel someone's tail. This prompted Iberis to hold back a giggle, it was an arguably cute way of asking about something like this.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">" I mean if you wouldn't mind, I promise I'll be gentle." </span>Iberis said in her  follow up line feeling a tad socially awkward with this request that they were proposing,  as she smiled a bit bashfully at Shion's way, mainly hoping that it wouldn't be taken too strangely, but to be fair she had heard Shion say that one just need ask too herself so if she really meant it, they were about to find out. She was however a bit curious with what Morana was on about with Cayde, since she hadn't heard all the details until that point.</div>

The witch would quickly bite her tongue upon Sophia’s risen claw, putting both of her hands over her own mouth. “Oops!” <br>
<br>
Then to Morana who couldn’t seem to quit making her displeasure known and certainly heard. “What? She whined, “I’m just.. happy about going on a train ride! It’s not like we have trains back at the Empire!!” <br>
<br>
Scylla put a hand under her own cheek, she was quite amused by Sverre, “Hammer em’ good indeed!” She repeated, with a bit of a smirk. “Oh. We’re going to make a great team Mr.S! You just wait and see!” When the construct couldn’t recall any further memories, she shrugged, “That’s okay, thank you for trying though! Oh and no, i dont mean for you to NEVER use your weapon. That would be so cruel of me! It seem’s you two are quite the affair!” She giggled, but then Sverre asked a peculiar question. “You know, that would be indeed quite cruel wouldnt it?” She thought about it for a moment, “I suppose if we ever find yourself in a fight against them, you, being the big boss would certainly have the means to sway their judgement wouldn’t you?” She sighed, with a bit of a frown however, “Although, sometimes things don’t go as planned. In which case, i’d want you to be free to do as you wish there and then. A true leader wouldn’t require any one under them to go against their hearts truest decision.” <br>
<br>
She quickly decided to lighten things up however, “As a matter of a fact..” She pulled her hat off her head to reveal her book of dead names. “..you could say i do have a spell book under there!” <br>
<br>
She turned to look at Kalina who had made a request, “Hey uh.. “ she rubbed her still reddened cheek, “..that might not be the brightest idea.” She chuckled nervously, looking at Shion, timidly.</div>

A man after my own heart, I must say."</span> Shion chuckled in reply to Cayde once their mental conversation was over. She was going to say something else, but then Kalina and Iberis approached with their request to pet Shion's tail in the most...formal fashion she'd ever heard in her life. She stared blankly at the two of them for a time, she...she really didn't know what to say to that. It was so absurd to be so formal, she wasn't royalty, she wasn't anyone special, and yet...she couldn't help but let out a good laugh for a few moments.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I-I'll try-" </span>Shion managed to spout to Cayde as he stepped away while she caught her breath, Kalina's approach seemed to brighten Shion's mood considerably as she wiped a tear out of her eye.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I-I'm sorry, Chandra, Iberis, that was just...so unexpected. I assure you, there is no need to treat me so formally."</span> She was still gathering herself, shaking her head a moment as she slowly exhaled through her mouth. She heard Scylla's retort behind her, and she glanced over her shoulder.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Well my dear Scylla, they <i>asked</i>. And as long as they don't <i>squeeze</i> <i>my tail</i>," </span>Shion turned her attention back to the two in front of her with a smile. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'd be happy to let you...how did you put it...I'd be happy to let you feel the heavenly sensation of mine fur."</span><br>
<br>
Shion walked past the two women and took a seat near them with enough room for them to sit on either side of her. She adjusted herself for a moment as her tail swept in front of her and gently settled upon her lap. It seemed more flexible than a typical canine's, but it was also not as fluid as a cat's, being somewhere in the middle. Being displayed so welcomingly now it was a lot more obvious just how big Shion's tail was. It was long enough to touch the ground with ease if Shion wasn't standing at her full height, and the fur was thick enough around it the size of the actual tail underneath was hard to discern. It matched her ears exactly though, brown with a white tuft at the tip.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Come on then, you have my permission." </span>She beckoned both of them to her with a smile.</div>

Kalina couldn't help take not of how well Iberis responded. Far more so than expected. Whatever worries she might've had about coming off to strong in one way or another vanished in an instant. She had one more cuddly witch to make her undead heart feel like it was beating again. Upon seeing Iberis a little disappointed, she couldn't help add one thing;  <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Don't worry, you've more than earned your right to cuddle again whenever you want~”</b></span></span> She'd whisper with a wink, before heading to the tail business.<br>
<br>
She gave a smile at Scylla's warning. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Unlike those who came before me, I shall treat the divine fur with the utmost respect~”</b></span> She declared, teasing Scylla about her screw-up trying to squeeze it prior.<br>
<br>
That's when she heard Shion's laughter. That was good~ Being able to make her laugh would probably be impossible if Shion really thought of her as a danger. She doubted Shion was able to act this well either, so it must be genuine. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Ma'am, it would be my utmost honour~”</b></span> She replied to being granted permission.<br>
<br>
That meant it was business time next! She gently started by pushing the hairs on the tip of the tail down a little, to see where hair strands ended and 'tail' started. With how big and fluffy it was, it was quite impressive, all things considered. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Wow...”</b></span> She muttered, knowing what she was getting herself into, yet still being surprised by it. Besides, it was just about every bit as soft and thick as she imagined it might be. She gently ran her hands down the fur, brushing past it to enjoy the softness of it. Honestly, it was probably a good thing Shion sat down, otherwise she might've gotten a bit lost and would've ran her hands down all the way up to the base of the tail, which was luckily prevent right now. True, it was the only confirmed 'no-no' of squeezing, but brushing up that far likely might start up its own implications.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #778899"><b>“Iberis, I think we have located one of the most pleasant-to-the-touch things in existence. We should be sure to record it into the annals of history~”</b></span> She concluded, but not before ensure that Iberis wasn't too shy to get to experience this fluffiness to its fullest as well, guiding Iberis' hands with her own if needed. <br>
<br>
That said, it was time to get serious as well. She leaned in a bit to whisper to Shion. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span></span> She'd start. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Both for helping me in the factory earlier, as well as for not judging me. I'm not sure how much you figured out, but I promise I'll ensure that any trust you put in me won't be misplaced. My real reason for being here is to see if these Vampire Hunters know more about my condition and perhaps how to cure it, although it's a gamble.”</b></span></span> The last bit was the most condensed version of events, but she didn't have the time or luxury to explain more.<br>
<br>
Before long, she'd have to break off the tail-petting, albeit with a bit of effort. Truth be told, it'd started with mild curiosity after seeing Scylla go for it, turned into a challenge after seeing Scylla get snarled at, but now was something she actually turned out to enjoy more than she figured she would. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Thank you for having graced us with this heavenly opportunity, my hands shall forever tingle with spark of divinity they felt today~”</b></span> She figured she might as well wrap this up in style.<br>
<br>
As she moved a bit to sit a bit more comfortable, she was surprised by Sophia instantly jumping onto her lap. She didn't even really say anything, as Sophia wordlessly ended up leaning back into her. After the initial confusion, however, Kalina realised what she might've done wrong. It was bad. <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="color: #800000"><b>“Did I make you feel left out..? I'm sorry. I'm sure Iberis will like getting hugs from you as well, although she might need to get used to your arm and hand type. I doubt Shion would mind though, I'm sure she'll let you pet her tail as well, for as long as you don't squeeze it. Do you want me to ask them for you?”</b></span></span> That was the conclusion that Kalina had gotten to. Actually, there was a second option. Perhaps Sophia wanted to be petted as well? She didn't have hair like a sheep's pelt or a furry tail but... Come to think of it, there was one thing Kalina wondered. She'd put her hands on Sophia's shoulders and gently started pushing into them a little in a massage-like manner. She honestly hadn't ever done such a thing, so she had no clue what she was doing and mostly just made sure not to push too hard for comfort. Still, she'd grown curious to see if Sophia's four arms also meant that she had four shoulders or if that was somehow combined into one double-shoulder on each side. What better way was there to both answer that question and help Sophia feel less left-out than by simply checking it with her own hands?<br>

<span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Y'err a good sort, miss purple.”</b></span> Mr.S concluded. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Indeed, indeed, me and ma hammer... I can't recall what we be doing exactly, but I recall we be doing lots and lots. She be me trusted companion, that she be!”</b></span> Even with his memories screwed up as they were, he knew his hammer was special to him and the fact that Scylla recognised that was wonderful. Too few people understood the bond between a <s>man</s> construct and his hammer.<br>
<br>
He was relieved to hear he could make his own decision, should he face his men. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Thank ya, miss purple. I'll be doing what I'll be doing then. Although I don't remember a lot of ma men, so I don't know if they be remembering me... it be weird. Me noggin' be weird, them be... them be dead? I don't know, miss purple.”</b></span> He clearly wasn't convinced he'd be able to talk to them.<br>
<br>
He jaw fell open, literally, when she pulled a spell-book out of her had. It fell open with some creaking in fact, perhaps not entirely intended, as he had to use his hands to shove it back into place. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“That be amazing, miss purple!”</b></span> He replied, the moment he got his jaw back in place. <br>

<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Empire?”</b></span> Morana questioned, upon hearing Scylla mention it in her apologies. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“West or East? You should be aware all state employers are told to be on the look-out for potential spies form the East Empire or The See.”</b></span> The last sounded only a little bit like a threat.<br>
<br>
Her words for Sophia weren't the nicest either, albeit more cryptic. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Shame, were so close to understanding.”</b></span> Her toneless voice was even more toneless than usual, as if trying to hide whether this was said in regret, anger or something else altogether. With Sophia ignoring her further, she decided to ignore her as well, turning to Cayde instead.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“With all due respect, sir. I'm not good at defending. I normally make sure kill and destroy before I even need to and I'd like to have your permission to do so as well right now, should we run into hostilities.“</b></span> She was trying to push him a little to give her some sort-off free pass for violence, perhaps. Either that, or she truly concerned about being unable to defend and needing to focus solely on being offensive. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Once again, with all due respect, sir. I'd rather not say. Perhaps, however, you can answer me on our return journey. Should it be... understandable, I might say why the question matters to me. Would that be acceptable?”</b></span> She asked, trying to find the mid-point of duty to the one she was assigned to and freedom to refuse.<br>
<br>
It wasn't long after, however, that the train stopped.<br>
<br>
SCRAPYARD – LAST STATION. PLEASE LEAVE THE TRAIN AND MAKE SURE NOT TO FORGET YOUR BELONGINGS. A robotic sounding voice announced through the train, as the doors swept open.<br>
<br>
All things considered, it was surprising this place even had a station. It was absolutely desolate, besides the many piles of scrap metal. A few smaller tracks of rails let from the station further into the scrapyard, one of which seemed to be in relative recent usage. Following that one, the group soon found themselves at their destination. <br>
<br>
Cayde (Perception E, Survival E, Nature D) noticed it first. Between the piles of scrap, unnatural movements. Something that was starting to 'awaken' upon their arrival.<br>
<br>
Iberis [Necromancy Almanac] would sense it. Undead were around here. The [monster] monster variant, the unreasonable, lifeless husks that were either controlled by someone or that were simply out to kill and destroy. <br>
<br>
Shion would soon smell them (Heightened Sense Smell F, Perception F, Survival F). The unnatural stench of death and decay. Unmasked, unfiltered and somehow moving around. <br>
 <br>
The other three (Kalina, Scylla, Sophia) would be clueless, although even they would notice there was an ominous atmosphere in this area. <br>

<span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Them... Them's be me men... ain't them be?”</b></span> Sverre asked, although it seemed like it was more a 'gut feeling' than that he could see or notice them as clearly as the others. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: red">OOC – This next scene will start combat. Basic rules apply;<br>
1 – No more than 3 actions per turn. (Actions include things like [move], [defend], [attack], [ability]). Only one turn per round. <br>
2 – The map is small enough to cross about half of it in a single [move] action. Crossing all of it takes 2 move actions. Going through or into the 'scrap' will require an ability/skill to avoid falling or to take up an extra [move] action.  <br>
3 – Keep track of Cooldowns when using abilities. Abilities with Duration don't go on Cooldown unless the Duration is cancelled and/or runs out. <br>
4 – State which number of 'zombie' (or zombies) you're attacking clearly, to keep things more manageable. Attacks using higher grade stats/items/skills behind them are stronger, using multiple [target] options on a single enemy makes the attack stronger as well, teaming up and/or creative writing can give additional benefits. <br>
5 – Morana's actions can be decided by Cayde's posts. Sverre's actions can be decided by Scylla's posts.<br>
6 – Missing a round will assume the character merely defends themselves to the best of their ability for that round.<br>
7 – Ask questions more often than not. This isn't meant to be a combat-heavy RP, so I'd rather talk things through where needed instead of going strictly through all possible mechanics and rules.</span><br>

Scylla was quite confident that the fox would give both Kalina and enyone else a wonderful slap to the face! She snickered for a bit as they interacted but then, the fox turned to look at her. To much of her astonishment, the fox was ACTUALLY okay with it! “W-what did you say?!” She said, her voice quickly raising in pitch, “B-but.. you.. i just-“ Then Shion assumed her own petting position, “You cant be serious!? No fair!” Scylla whined, as she almost reached out to the two about to pet Shion. “I.. i don’t care.” She said finally, crossing her arms and looking away. But secretly, and also quite rare for the witch, she was secretly SEETHING.<br>
<br>
Whatever lovliness the others were experiencing, Scylla decided to just tune it all out!<br>
<br>
Then Morana seemed to interrogate her, Scylla simply crossed her legs on her seat, arms still crossed. “If you must know, i’m from the West Empire, a small town named Ambershore. And OF COURSE you would suspect im a spy! Pffft! Why do you hate me so much Morana!? Nevertheless you owe your gunpowder to my wonderful nation!”  She seemed to shrink however, “Although, i haven’t been back home since i was but a wee little girl. I wonder how much has changed.” She said curiously with an index finger on her bottom lip. “No matter! Oh, and about the See and the East, i’ve heard a few rumors here and there. In fact, i thought that’s where Auldrich would have sent me.” She shrugged again, “Oh well. I suppose the war about to break out over there will just have to wait. But from what i’ve heard. My oh my, its turning out to be the greatest calamity of our time!” She giggled, “I’ve said too much.”<br>
<br>
“Awww, Mr.S!” Scylla said, lightly blushing, “Now aren’t you just as sweet as pecan pie!” Scylla was quite attuned to flattery, “About your hammer, i’m sure whatever it is will certainly come back to you. I just.. know it.”<br>
<br>
When the constructs jaw dropped, she couldn;t help but burst out laughing, barely grabbing the book balancing on her head. She’d lean forward, holding her stomach as she quivered in amusement. “Woo! Woo!! Okay, that was.. so funny.. no more! Hehehe!”<br>
<br>
Once her laughing storm was over,<br>
<br>
“Dead you say?” She said with a bit of a grin. “Well, you’ve come to the right witch!”<br>
<br>
She’d reveal the book in her hands, “This my sweet-muffin friend! Is the Almanac.” She voice turning to that of a spooky campfire story narrator, “Don’t ask how i came upon this tome, but i will say this!” She brought a hand over her mouth only revealing her eyes, “It’s not from this world!” She faked a cackle, mimicking the sound of thunder with her voice albeit not very good. “Scary huh?” She said, breaking character, “No but in all seriousness, maybe this book can tell us more about how your friends died. Well, if they’re dead of course!” <br>
<br>
<br>
Once the train arrived at the Scrapyard, Scylla looked around, "Uhm.. are we.." She looked back as the doors of the train closed, "..at the right place?" Before long they soon followed some strange tracks and shortly after that their destination. Scylla's legs began to lock up, "Uhm, I'm not scared." then looking at the others, "Anyone scared?" However she wouldn't falter and continue to lead at the front.<br>
<br>
When the strange robotic zombies awakened, she would be one of the last to notice. "WHOA! It's.. a zombie!" She said pointing, "Oh! I know just the little witch who would know what to do!" She peeked back at Iberis with a wink.<br>
<br>
That left just once last thing to discover, she'd use the Almanac on the zombies. [Action 1]<br>

After that, she'd raise her staff, a billowing gust would suddenly envelop the witch as a bright yellow ball of lightning was focused into form, parts of it were unstable, sending lightning arcs about the place before setting the shocking attack at the nearest zombie who would get close to the party, effectively immobilizing it.

Morana's reassertion on staying aggressive made Cayde's shoulders tense. It was great that she was giving her own input, but something about preferring to <i>kill and destroy</i> felt off. A bit <i>too</i> bloodthirsty. Or... perhaps he was just overthinking things again? After all this walking and talking, maybe she just wanted a little action? He couldn't blame her for that. A little fight always made things a bit more interesting. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"If you insist. Go ahead, do your thing,"</span> </b>Cayde assured, reclining into his seat. Morana's following words were a bit more comforting. He'd learn more about her - <i>later</i>. Fantastic. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"That <i>would </i>be acceptable, Morana. Thank you,"</span> </b>He picked himself up as the train stopped. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Just grab me whenever you're ready. Your choice." </span></b><br>
<br>
Entering the Scrapyard, Cayde's perception caught it immediately. <i>Something</i> creeping in the piles of scrap metal. A foreboding presence hanging thick in the air. It felt <i>strangely</i> familiar. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm not scared..." </span></b>He told Scylla, his voice no higher than a murmur, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"But... kinda reminds me a little bit of the swamp..."</span> </b>He clicked his tongue as the memory came flooding back. Abha. The boggarts. His leadership. That 'valiant' charge. The confusion. Thinking of it now, made him squirm. It couldn't go that way again. <br>
<br>
As the thought drifted away, Cayde's eyes locked onto a zombie. He did a double-take. Chima was right. They w<i>ere</i> more metal than flesh. That could've complicated things. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Alright, Morana, keep close. Try to take care of whoever's on the front lines. We'll cover you,"</span> </b>He said, turning to the group, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Might be more of them around here. We've got the range, so we should fight defensively. Stay close. Let <i>them</i> come to us. If you see them start bunching up, call it out," </span> </b>He turned to Shion and Sverre, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"If you want, you guys can stay in our flanks and watch if any try to get in behind us. Otherwise, you can do whatever you think is necessary."</span> </b>Finally, his eyes swept over to the closest zombie, utilizing <b>[Bestiary Bookworm - D] </b>to search them for exploitable weaknesses and any unseen capabilities they may have. <br>

In addition Shion's reaction was rather cute in Iberis's mind too. She was quite pleased to see the positive reaction to their less than orthodox inquiry. While  Iberis did take her place on the side of Shion where she had located herself, Iberis was more reserved, perhaps just inexperienced  with the notion. She did hear the protesty whine from Scylla not long after Shion had given them permission which did make her feel a bit bad, but regardless, Kalina was undeterred and so was Iberis.<br>
<br>
Thankfully Kalina was there to help guide her a bit in where to feel, so Iberis followed by example, and depending perhaps got a bit of guidance as she gently reached out and put her hand against the closest of Shion's tails and gingerly began to feel the end of it. Iberis's face lit up upon the realization of how soft and thick it felt.<br>
<br>
"Oh..Shion, Thank you! They feel really amazing hah, I'm not sure what I was expecting but I can definitely say I appreciate my curiosity being sated, and I hope that, I'm doing an okay job of it,  I can't say I'm that experienced with this sort of thing.." Her joyful intial high with her eyes lighting up  becoming a bit more bashful yet again.<br>
<br>
She then turned to Chandra nodding, "Definitely I'll have to archive this experience for the academy library." She replied playfully with a bit of a giggle toward the end at the very notion. Truthfully Iberis hadn't felt this pleased in quite some time. By the time Chandra was disengaging with Shion, Iberis followed suit, giving a smile toward Shion as she withdrew to a more neutral sitting position simply next to Shion.<br>
<br>
Mr.S's conversation and Morana's comments were interesting enough to listen to now that her attention wasn't so fixed on Shion. She didn't have too much to say on either conversation since they didn't really concern her. Morana clearly had opinions which she felt the need to express, and Scylla wasn't the most pleased with Morana's judgments. Cayde on the other hand seemed like he was able to handle the situation well in Iberis's opinion. Then there was the fact that Scylla showed the book she got which Iberis hadn't seen in quite some time, perhaps it would be useful as she mentioned.<br>
----<br>
<br>
It wasn't too long before they were at the last stop apparently and Iberis immediately could tell that there were undead all around largely thanks to what Auldlich had bestowed upon her.  As the group got out and Iberis heard Scylla ask if anyone was scared, Iberis was inclined to agree with Cayde.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"All things considered where we went  to that one place that  one time..it was much worse than this. Granted that doesn't mean that I'm not concerned about our well being, we need to address this strategically." </span> She did however give Scylla a bit of a smile at the wink, giving her a nod that she understood what she meant, Iberis was most definitely the one for the task realistically if anyone was to just take a look at one of her legs and see how it wasn't quite like the rest of her anymore.<br>
<br>
Beings like these were no longer particularly scary to Iberis not after all she had seen thanks to Auldlich, there had been much more horrifying things there, from the whole dimension shifting around with horrors, this felt tame by comparison.<br>
If there was one she could get a visual on, she'd tap into her  <b>[Necromancy Almanac] </b>title to see if she'd uncover any information that she could understand about them since they counted as undead.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Cayde's right it'd be better for us to stay close and let them come to us rather than getting tangled up in this landscape, we're outnumbered too, so I think to reduce our chances of getting split up and ganged up on this is the right move."<br>
<br>
"I'm gonna try to hit some of the closer ones with a debuff to make follow up attacks safer when they advance."</span> Iberis communicated to the rest of the group before she started up her ability, she started speaking quietly in a tongue that Auldlich had shown her earlier, as her eyes intensified with her focus,  she then  tapped her staff on the ground when she came near the end of the chant lines, using <b>Curse of Weakness D</b> on any undead she could catch in a 50 ft radial around her.<br>

She hopped off the lap, heading out of the train, her eyes glancing around as they walked. However, soon she was faced by their enemy that reminded her a bit too much of a certain excursion, instantly putting her on edge. She gripped her crossbow, quickly putting in one of her special bolts. She lifted up her crossbow, firing off a [High Powered Heavy Bolt - B rank] at one of the zombies before loading in a magic imbued arrow, firing a [Magic Embued Arrows - C rank] at another. As she did so, she said,<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> "I'm assuming this was caused by the vampire. What an annoyance."</span> She moved forward, standing in the front line as she asked, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Think they can cause others to change like the last ones, Chandra?"</span>​</div></div>

A soft purr escaped her lips as she felt her entire body relax. Did Scylla say something? Maybe, her senses were much more focused on her present enjoyment than anything else. After a moment she was able to register Chandra's words to her. Her eyes began to glow once more, any attempt to hide it this time was not even considered.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>"Chandra, it's me."</i></b></span> Shion locked her glowing eyes with the disguised vampire's as she spoke<b> [Telepathically] </b>with her. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><b><i>"If you can believe what you're hearing is real right now, then know I saw both sides of your episode earlier. I am...deeply sorry for what happened to you, in your past life and being here. I didn't have siblings, but...know that my thoughts of you have no changed. Even if I desperately want to tease you for having nothing to fear with me...well, our company isn't fit for-"</i></b></span> Shion's thoughts were cut off as Iberis joined in, and her mind and lips were in sync as she purred a bit louder this time.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"That feels so nice...no one's pet my tail since..." </span>Shion's mood didn't worsen, but she seemed to stall her words. She went silent, a small sound of pleasantry escaping her every now and then as she didn't speak again until both of them finished. Before she could say anything Sophia planted herself firmly into Chandra's lap. Shion regained her composure and smiled at Chandra before turning her attention to Iberis.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm happy it was a pleasant experience for you, too, Iberis. You're welcome to do it again so long as you ask."</span> Shion said with a warm smile to her as her tail whipped out and ended up landing on Iberis' lap! Shion chuckled a moment. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"S-sorry, my own happiness made me forget myself for a moment. That really did help me, even if a small amount."</span><br>
<br>
Shion let Iberis enjoy the warmth of her tail until their stop arrived.<br>
<br>
--<br>
<br>
Shion could smell the stench of death once they stepped out of the train. She recoiled in disgust for a moment before her ears stood up straight as she went on high alert. She clasped her hands together for a moment before her eyes widened. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Right...I likely can't summon my spear...damnit.</i></span> She could hear the others preparing themselves, hearing Cayde's suggestion and agreeing with it for the time being. She nodded to him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I'm on it Cayde, I'll keep a close eye on them. Sadly I'm unable to access ranged magic at this moment. I'll keep you all safe as best I can still."</span> Shion informed her compatriots before glancing to the back of the group.<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"> "Stay close to me, Iberis."</span><br>
<br>
Shion slid into a stance that could be best described as feral grace, legs spreading apart, elbows bent, hands opened as if she had claws, eyes sharpening. She'd felt her lack of power ever since she arrived here, but now that she had adversaries in front of her, it became blatantly obvious to her just how little she felt she could do here. No matter, she'd simply make due with what she did have.<br>
<br>
Shion remains at the ready, magical energy building around her hands to defend against incoming attackers with <b>[Non-Elemental Slashes F].<br>

Scylla would learn a few basic things through Almanac of the Dead. There were 24 zombies in total that got their book entries. Their ages ranged from just 21 to 67. All of them had been average citizens, mostly Humans, a few of them Elves or Dwarves and the odd Halfling mixed in. They'd all worked under Marshall Sverre as a branch of the Widersia's Law Enforcement. That was about all Scylla could grasp, as trying to take in more details would take up far more time than she had right now.<br>
<br>
Cayde's Bestiary Bookworm showed him that these were very 'plain' and simple. They'd been resurrected without clear reason or instruction, merely aiming to kill whatever got near. It was unlikely for them to have any level of cooperation or strategy. However, they were sturdy, for their bodies had been intermingled with metal parts. He didn't have specific knowledge on the metal parts, but would be able to guess that they'd been resurrected whilst still wearing some sort of combat suits and had come out as an odd mixture of undead/construct by getting mixed up with their own suits becoming part of their risen bodies. Other than that, there seemed no specific weakness or strength to them, nor any supernatural capabilities. In fact, it didn't seem like they would even be able to regenerate, suggesting it was indeed necromancy rather than vampirism that affected them.<br>
<br>
Iberis' Necromancy Almanac gave her a bit less of a clear picture, but did make her understand that these were resurrected without clear purpose, mindless husks aiming to attack whatever happened to get near. They were fairly tough, but not particularly strong and didn't seem to have regenerative or special abilities to them. <br>

She was about to rush in, hoping for permission, but felt like she got pulled back like a dog on a leash when Cayde told her to stick close. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Affirmative.”</b></span> She said, although it was clear she didn't like it by how eager she seemed to just jump at the enemy. Having been granted permission to go full-offensive only to be told to stay close wasn't to her liking, that much was sure. Still, she obeyed. First she ended up [action 1: moving] just enough ahead to intercept a zombie. Still, she had to [action 2: wait] The moment she was able to strike at it, the gears on her combat arm spinning wildly, she slashed straight through Zombie #12 like it was butter. Traces of poison and acid could be seen from the zombie's remains, likely being what allowed her to cut through despite them being rather tough. Meanwhile, Zombie #11 and Zombie #13 were enclosing on her position as well.<br>
<br>
Considering Scylla didn't have Range on this ability, she needed to cast it at close range to get the desired effects. Luckily enough, she was able to [move] (taking narrative freedom to say she used the unused action for it, benefit of this not being a World RP) and still have [Focus E] to cast her spell on one of the zombies that were heading for Morana. Zombie #11 was successfully paralysed and some of the rotten flesh seemed a little fried from it, whilst some of the metal parts got damaged, yet it'd take more than that to take it down. Also, thanks to the ability being energised, it'd be usable again the next round (energised E grades go from 1 post CD to 0 post CD, so 1 per round).<br>

Scylla didn't give Mr.S any orders and Mr.S didn't have Cayde registered as a superior, so for now, he decided to await further instruction. Besides, seeing his men like this... It didn't feel good. It made him feel... sad? But also... angry? As he was watching them, his head started to hurt as well. Were those... things he tried to erase? He clenched his hands around his hammer as he [waited] for all three actions.<br>
<br>
Iberis' Curse of Weakness spread around her and was big enough to cover many of the zombies heading for them. Only the ones further off (#20-#24) got spared from it. The rest of the incoming wave all had its strength drained by the young witch. This also had one big, possibly unintended benefit. Some of the mindless zombies had been trying to get to them whilst ploughing through the scrap. Having a considerable amount of their strength drained meant that zombies #14-#19 as well as #6 and #7 had a lot more trouble going through the scrap and <i>wouldn't reach the main group</i> in this round and perhaps not in the next one either. <br>
<br>
Coming at the group the fastest were zombies #1-#5, with #8-#10 either following suit or being mindless enough to run into the scrap after #6 and #7 later. <br>
<br>
That's when Sophia decided to show off her craftsmanship and marksmanship. (Considering no specific number zombie is stated, I'll assume it'll be the closest.) She shot straight into zombie #1 and could see her [High Powered Heavy Bolt] brute-force it sway through the zombie until it stopped moving and fell down. The zombie behind it, #3, wasn't much luckier as it got hit by a bolt only slightly weaker. Its enchanted properties and force were enough to permanently stop this undead from moving as well.<br>
<br>
As Sophia was about to ask Kalina about the zombies, however, she noticed Kalina was focussing a little too much on something to reply.<br>

Was it bad that she was a little excited? She felt like this was her chance to see how much stronger she'd gotten and to show off a little. Her friends done a lot for her already, making her feel like she wasn't contributing enough to her own quest. It's why she was eager to prove herself to be useful, somehow for someone like Cayde in particular. She respected him a lot, so she wished to show him her worth. In the end, however, the one she wished to prove herself to the most was herself.<br>
<br>
She intended to go all out using her [Precision Strikes B]. Well almost all out. There was one thing she didn't dare to do, which was using the [Vampiric Infection] she'd gotten to understand a while back. After all, her using such a thing would be too much of a risk with Morana and Sverre present and she wasn't even sure if it'd work on undead to begin with. <br>
<br>
That said, even without it, she could still show off well enough. For one, she was able to show the [Range C] on her rapier now, being able to strike at zombie #18 through with it cut like butter [Penetrating B] and still had enough force left [Contagion B] to also pierce zombie #16 with enough force to kill it instantly. Without the Vampirc Infection, it wasn't spreading as well to others as otherwise, but being able to down two zombies in a single strike was already a worthy result.<br>
<br>
[Action 1] <b>Precision Strike B</b>: – Fighting Style [Specialized] [Precision Strikes] B, Accurate B, Penetrating B, Range C, Contagion B. Character attacks with their fighting style, ignoring 5 grades of speed, 5 grades of armour, reaching 1000ft (304m) and spreading to up to 5 others. - Grade B – 4 Post Cooldown<br>
<br>
She wasn't done though, as she could strike more of them. Zombie #15 and #17 were next to go. Even with the attack at lower intensity, the penetrating effects of her rapier rang true, easily getting rid of the two in one strike.<br>
<br>
[Action 2] <b>Precision Strike C</b>: – Fighting Style [Specialized] [Precision Strikes] C, Accurate C, Penetrating C, Range C, Contagion C. Character attacks with their fighting style, ignoring 4 grades of speed, 4 grades of armour, reaching 1000ft (304m) and spreading to up to 4 others. - Grade C – 3 Post Cooldown<br>
<br>
Finally, she managed to hit only one of them, #7 with her last attack. <br>
<br>
[Action 3] <b>Precision Strike D</b>: – Fighting Style [Specialized] [Precision Strikes] D, Accurate D, Penetrating D, Range D, Contagion D. Character attacks with their fighting style, ignoring 3 grades of speed, 3 grades of armour, reaching 100ft (30m) and spreading to up to 3 others. - Grade D – 2 Post Cooldown<br>
<br>
Five zombies killed... She felt like that was underwhelming. She'd been wanting to really show off here. Besides, she was completely out of breath right now, breathing heavily despite not even being alive. Had she not paced herself well enough? She clicked her tongue. She still had much to learn, she feared. <br>
<br>
Shion was ready to defend, but thanks to the others attacking, defending, slowing and halting the zombies, she would be able to stand by for now. <br>

 </b><br>​</div>As his eyes finished scrutinizing a zombie, Cayde quickly reached for his crossbow, setting a broadhead in place. A bit overkill, he thought. But at least it'd be quick. Even if they couldn't exactly suffer in this state, they still deserved that courtesy. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Right behind you, Scylla!"</span> </b>He called, aiming past her at <i>[Zombie #11]</i>. He steadied his breathing and released a <b>[Vital Shot - F] </b>at its head. Hopefully, putting it down for good. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Nice one,"</span> </b>He pointed at <i>[Zombie #13], </i><b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Trust you can take that one down, too, yeah?" </span></b>He peered over his shoulders at the others fighting behind him. He'd need to check on them next. <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"I'm falling back. Do us proud, O' first-in-command!" </span></b><br>
<br>
With that, Cayde about-faced, hands preparing to ready another bolt. He looked up, briefly witnessing Kalina's, Sophia's, and Iberis' combined efforts. His jaw dropped a little. Where did Iberis learn that spell? How could Sophia shoot those enchanted bolts? And when did Kalina get so <i>good? </i>Her rapier skills in the marsh had already stumped him but this was <i>amazing</i>. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"There's isn't going to be any left with you three here," </b></span>He cheered, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"<b><i>Amazing </i>work!" </b></span><br>
<br>
His gaze turned to Shion and Sverre next. They were holding up the flank well, though Sverre, in particular, looked lost. Conflicted, even. Maybe that was a good sign? He wondered. It wouldn't hurt to ask. But in the peripherals of his vision, he caught sight of a group of zombies approaching from the right. He remembered Morana calling them out earlier. Perhaps she'd still want to deal with them? <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Could you lend us a hand on the right side, Morana? Five're coming our way," </b></span>He said, before turning to Sverre, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Sverre, how're you feeling? What's on your mind?" </span></b>He gestured to the area around him, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Is this doing anything for you?" </b></span><br>

Thankfully the fight seemed to be going relatively. favorably to their side. What made these undead hybrids was their sheer numbers rather than individual capability it seemed to Iberis, particularly when they didn't seem to have many resistances that she could spot so far. Of course her curse was going to help make them potentially less dangerous to engage than others would be. In addition it looked like some of them were struggling to move properly on the more difficult landscape after the curse, which was certainly beneficial for them since they were defending, it gave them more time to prepare,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Sure thing Shion I'll be careful."</span> She replied, deciding to stay close to her,  Iberis would position  herself between where Chandra and Shion were positioned (on the map), staying back slightly. She wanted there to be open space so that she could fire off some magic shots, she was still experimenting with a lot of the wide area stuff like she just casted, so she felt like she should probably further hone her craft for it, since a lot her early spells were single target.  But for now she would work with what she had since her D grade abilities were on cooldown this round.<br>
<br>
She took Cayde's praise well with a smile, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Hey just want to let you know that you've been doing great since we first arrived, Cayde."</span> She replied f iguring the very least she could do was return the encouragement. No matter who it came from it almost always made Iberis feel better about herself, with how seldom she had been growing up.<br>
<br>
 Kalina was decimating things as perusal, and Moarana was making swift work from where she was attacking,, Scylla had been assisting too. Shion threw her metaphorical hat in the ring everyone seemed to be contributing well except for Morana's Ally who appeared to take no action, Iberis was wondering if it was because Scylla hadn't given any orders.<br>
<br>
Iberis  then opted to use one of her more typical moves, moving her staff in a zig zag motion  going for a<b> Energy Bolt E</b> on #6 A red bolt of arcane energy flying from her staff toward it as it struggled  thanks to her curse.<br>

The already weakened Zombie #11 was finished off by Cayde, although Cayde didn't manage to locate its vital point, it wasn't as overkill as he figured it would've been.  <br>

Finally... she was sent where she could have the most fun. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“With pleasure.”</b></span> She replied to Cayde, who directed her to the right flank. The odd metal joints in her legs started bending, as if charging up... then she launched off, flying across the scrap and landing directly in the middle of the group of Zombies to their right. She landed directly atop Zombie #2, combat-arm first, digging her claw straight through it (action 1/2: Move/Jump Attack D) thanks to her claws [penetrate] properties, it was just strong enough to finish off the zombie. However, she'd also caught the attention of the remaining zombies around her. As they turned to close in for her, her arm readjusted, making some clanking noises an hissing steam. A few drops of poison dripped from it, then she unleashed. Twisting her entire body unnaturally, she spun 360 degrees and tore through the flesh, metal and bone of all the zombies around her, killing the group of them. However, it did seem like she'd gone overboard, as she fell to her knees afterwards, having temporarily exhausted herself. The few human parts of her were also sweating profusely, as if she'd gotten even more heated than she'd already been in her former feverish state.<br>
<br>
Thanks to Morana taking care of all of those, Iberis was able to sent her Energy Bolt at the next nearest zombie, which was #10. The bolt wounded it, but didn't manage to kill it. <br>

Kalina, seeing Iberis didn't manage to bring the zombie down and knowing that she was far too out of breath to take one down from scratch, decided to finish off with Iberis had started and aimed a Precision Strike E at Zombie #10 as well, which ended up killing it.<br>
<br>

Character attacks with their fighting style, ignoring 2 grades of speed, 2 grades of armour, reaching 30ft (9m), continuing to deal 1 hp damage for 2 posts and spreading to up to 2 others. - Grade E – 1 Post Cooldown<br>

Mr.S didn't reply to Cayde at first, thinking something through. <span style="color: #5F9EA0"><b>“Them's... them's not me men. Them's their bodies being desecrated... Imma stop it. Miss Purple told me to do as I wish... so Imma stop it. I wish to stop it.”</b></span> His fragmented memory had recovered just enough to realise he didn't want this. He didn't want this at all. <br>
<br>
He [moved] over, past Scylla, then brought his hammer down upon Zombie #14 with a mighty smash, after which he did the same to Zombie #13 with slightly less strength, but still enough to crush it..<br>

With Sophia and Scylla able to get rid of Zombie #19 and #8, there were only a few Zombies left in the distance. They were all killed before they could make it to the main group, with Sverre starting to pull his weight as well. <br>

She wasn't looking great. Sweat was dripping across her entire body, even through her mask she was breathing heavily and she was bending over a bit, as if her stomach was in pain. <span style="color: #F5F5DC">01100010 01101100 01100001 01110011 01110100 01100101 01100100 00100000 01100100 01101111 01110011 01100001 01100111 01100101 00100000 01101001 01110011 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01101000 01101001 01100111 01101000 00100000 01100101 01101110 01101111 01110101 01100111 01101000 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01101011 01100101 01100101 01110000 00100000 01110101 01110000</span> She mumbled to herself by way of a pattern of barely audible clicks. <br>

 <br>
<br>
She wasn't sure how the others had skipped lunch without being hungry by now, but she was starting to feel famished, especially after going this all out. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Hey, Sophia... I think I saw some remnants of a weird weapon in the scrap over there. It's probably nothing, but it might be related to what happened to Sverre's man, so as a master Artisan, could you come check it out with me for a bit?”</b></span> (Deception D) Convincing as Kalina sounded, anyone that was 'in the know' (so all of them except for Sverre and Morana) and had half a brain to them would know what this was truly about. <br>
<br>
The moment she got Sophia far enough from the rest of the group, she'd flash her a smile with her newly grown and strengthened fangs on clear display. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I was planning to wait for dinner, but fighting surely makes one work up an appetite... besides, I doubt we'll find a place this nice, quiet and private anytime soon. Granted, it's not the most appealing looking, but...”</b></span> She flashed her fangs towards Sophia. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I doubt you'll be caring much for the scenery in a bit either way... I'll be taking you up on your generous offer to feed hungry vampires~”</b></span><br>
<br>
She felt hungry, both in appetite and just for finally getting from this Fae what she'd been offered a few times already. Besides, she knew she wasn't just going to take. She knew she'd also give Sophia what she wanted, if the other times she'd drank Sophia's blood were anything to go by. The question whether to go for it or to use a vial didn't even arise. She knew they both knew the answer to which method was preferred. <br>
<br>
She'd hold Sophia's shoulders and lean in towards her slowly. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“Tell me when to stop, alright?”</b></span> She'd whisper in Sophia's ear. Even in this stage, she was still worried about hurting someone she cared about on accident. Then she let her fangs rest atop Sophia's neck for just a moment. Just to build a bit of anticipation. It'd make the actual event all the more rewarding. When she bit down, she could soon taste the flow of blood into her. As before, it was every bit as intoxicating as expected. The warm blood entering her veins, coming straight from a living body and beating heart, refreshing the rotten monster blood in her own body, if only temporary. It was bliss. <br>
<br>
However, it wasn't just that,. The fact that it was given willingly made it so much better. That someone was willing to give their own blood for her to consume so willingly, so readily, it was great, it felt good. Really good. She figured she'd return the favour a bit, recalling how Sophia had oddly liked it when her teeth had still been dull. She wasn't sure why, but she didn't wish to disappointed by suddenly having much sharper fangs. Thus she dragged, just a little, along Sophia's neck. It'd not seriously hurt, Kalina was far too careful for that, but it'd sent just a little extra shock of pain. Just see see of Sophia's reaction would be anything like the first time. <br>
<br>
She'd either stop once she felt full, which would take a fair bit, as she hadn't eaten properly in a while even before arriving in Widersia, or until Sophia had to tap out (which Regeneration E made a less likely option). <span style="color: #800000"><b>“You're still every bit as great as I remember...”</b></span> She'd finally say, as she pulled back, licking her lips, then planting a kiss on Sophia's lips. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“That one was a bonus... for being as awesome as you are.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She sighed. <span style="color: #800000"><b>“We should be heading back to the others, to tell them our weapon-discovery was a bust.”</b></span> She started walking. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“Come to think of it, I never asked... forgive me for forgetting, but how's the Crafting Guild doing? Are there any new tasks piling up for poor Elizabeth Mason?”</b></span> She said, jokingly referring to her other Alternate Identity whilst getting back a bit more in her Chandra persona.</div>

Nevertheless, this was to be celebrated. <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Good work everyone!"</span> She said with a smile as her tail wagged happily for a short time. She overheard Chandra call Sophia with her and assumed it was about feeding so she paid it little mind. She turned to Iberis and approached her with her smile still worn as she held up a hand within Iberis' reach.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Good job Iberis, that was an impressive display for everyone...I'm glad none of you came to serious harm."</span> Shion's ears depressed a moment, wishing she felt she could include herself in that, but her ears lifted again when she realized she might've made Iberis worry. She took notice of Morana's condition on the frontlines and shouted over to her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"You okay over there, Morana?"</span> She asked curiously, Shion didn't think Morana would've exerted herself too much, but she did want to make sure she was okay all the same.</div>

The witch appeared to dig her heels into the ground, muttering under her breath. “No more foul ups,Scylla.” Then she performed a familiar wave of her wand, bringing forth an elemental wind that spiraled and spiraled around her, firing a few jolts of lightning at the remnant zombie.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Giving a thumbs up to Sophia, “heh, that wasn’t so bad.” She sighed sarcastically before turning around to see Mr. S in a very depressed state. “Hey there.. awe..” she put a gentle hand on the constructs shoulder. “..although I’ve seen the underworld, have a book of dead names and use magic, I.. can’t for certain know if a heaven exists.” She frowned, “I don’t like what I can’t research. However, I like to believe the lives, stories, smiles, sad times, fun times, and many many things live on through our thoughts, our ways of thinking.” She tilted her head a bit, kind of thinking deeper. The witch wondered if such a thing would exist for her? Being half demonic, was there forgiveness for the curse she’d accepted? Like not. “I wonder if anyone would remember me someday.” She said out loud. “In a way, remembering someone after they’re gone is kind of like the biggest gift you can give anyone you know? They live in your thoughts forever.” She turned to look at him as he starred off. “That’s why I know you’ll remember. Maybe not anytime soon, but someday you will. You’ll see.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
“Very well! Good job everyone!”<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Before she continued she’d look around. “Uhhh.. where is Sophie and Kali?” She asked as she started her blonde head. “Huh. I coulda sworn they were here just now.” She shrugged. “Oh well! Love can’t wait sometimes I suppose.”</div>

As the battle came to an end, Cayde exhaled in relieved triumph. He peered down at his crossbow, then up at the single zombie he'd shot. A tinge of a frown formed on his face. One bolt. One zombie. Somehow that felt inadequate. All this time spent on <i>changing</i>, and he could only kill one zombie? What kind of improvement was that? He could've done better.<br>
<br>
The thought lingered until he turned around to survey the group's faces. An old, familiar voice whispered in his head. <i>Just look on the bright side. </i>He pondered that for a moment. It would've been nice to show off this potential, but everyone else showed theirs, too. And the plan - it <i>worked</i>. It went nothing like the one with the boggarts. That was something to be proud of, wasn't it? <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yeah..."</span> </i></b>Cayde nodded to himself, a satisfied grin growing on his face. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"Yes, it was." </span></i></b>Then, he shifted his gaze back to the party. His lips puckered at the sight of Sverre staring off at his men's bodies, and Morana hunched over in pain. Enough thinking, he told himself. Your allies need help. Go and be a good second-in-command.<br>
<br>
Cayde walked up to Sverre first, hearing Scylla's comforting words. His eyes widened in slight surprise. She was always so bubbly and happy-go-lucky. Seeing her speak so somberly felt strange. Yet, oddly refreshing. Even Scylla had her moments. A reassuring thought. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"That was very touching, Scylla," </b></span>Cayde told her before turning to Sverre, empathy rich in his voice, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"My condolences. They didn't deserve this. <i>You</i> didn't deserve this." </span></b>He folded his arms behind his back. After a pause, he continued, <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"The vampire did this to you. The thrall did this to you. And they'll do it to someone else if we don't stop them." </b></span>His eyes drifted to Sverre's face, <b><span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You and your men deserve vengeance. We'll get it to you. Promise." </span></b>He said, nodding solemnly,  <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"We can wait. Take as much time as you need."</b></span><br>
<br>
Cayde turned away and approached Morana. He felt his gut twist in shame as his eyes scanned over her. All this thinking and talking, and he'd haven't even started on that recipe. He needed to do something. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Hold on, Morana, I might have something that could help," </b></span>He slipped his pack off his back and went to work, the sound of glass clinking as he mixed several aromatic powders into one water-filled bottle. The potion fizzed as he dropped a purple, tablet-shaped crystal inside. A strong, minty smell began to waft out of it. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Here," </b></span>He said, holding out the <b>[Natural Cure - E] </b>to Morana. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"><b>"Wyrm's tongue, bullshead, peppermint, everwinter, a dash of lavender, and some eidolon salts. It should help with abdominal pain. Might loosen you up, too"</b></span>. He wasn't sure if she <i>could</i> drink it, but hopefully, she could have some temporary relief by inhaling the fumes. <br>

Iberis was glad to see that it seemed like everyone was reasonably okay after that mechanized undead rumble. Their construct and part construct ally seemed reasonably fine. While Chandra had been tired toward the end she didn't seem to get harmed even as she went in up close to fight their enemies. Cayde and Sophia also did not sustain any injuries. Truthfully Cayde's idea to fight more defensively had been very beneficial to the group team work overall in Iberis's opinion, so she was glad quite that she had been able to work along side him in this group.<br>
<br>
Iberis smiled upon hearing Shion's celebratory good work, as well as Scylla, though Scylla brought up a good point about what exactly was going on with Kalina and Sophia, she supposed that what Scylla said was likely correct, if anyone took Sophia's call out earlier at face value what Scylla said really wasn't a surprise  if t was true.<br>
Iberis might have asked how everyone was doing after but others had that question covered pretty well.<br>
<br>
"Iberis's face flushed ever so slightly at the attention she was getting from Shion mostly because it was singling her out for her performance.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Oh uh...yeah thanks Shion, It was really nice that you, stayed with me I..appreciate that." </span> She looked curious at Shion's ears shifting down some which from her experience wasn't usually positive when it came from any kind of beast. Since the hand was nearby, Iberis gently reached out..and held it if Shion would allow it, giving it a bit of a tender feel, as she gave her a reassuring nod and smile.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"I really did feel safer on the field having you right there with me."</span><br>
<br>
As she stood next to Shion she then looked over to Scylla, before mentioning,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Your guess is just as good as mine."</span> She said to Scylla's comment, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"You did really great out there too."</span>  She followed up with a smile toward her. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Whatever the specifics  I'm sure that they're fine."<br>
<br>
"You too Cayde your thoughts on what you said we should do definitely worked to our advantage."</span> She said.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128)">"Yeah, I"m sorry Sverre that you had to see your allies in that condition, we're going to do what we can to make things right." </span>She reaffirmed after listening to what Cayde had to say on that side of things to the construct.</div>

Sophia was led away, a small smile playing over her lips. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"You know you don't have to hold back with me here~ I'm your loyal meal, after all~" </span>She didn't even spare a glance at the scrap surrounding them as she was gripped by the vampire. She slowly tilted her head, letting the vampire get a good shot at her neck. She bit her lip, letting out a small gasp as her neck was pierced. Her claws tensed, almost like she was gripping them tight. <br>
<br>
When the teeth began to drag across her skin, causing more blood to be drawn, Sophia let out a small cry, her body tensing. She gritted her teeth, her toes curling, and her whole body shuddered as the extra pain, obviously done on purpose, drove into her. She bit her lip before whispering out a small,<span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)"> "T-thank you~"</span> Once the vampire had fully dug in, the artisan slowly leaned her head over, pressing her cheek against Kalina's as she felt her blood get gulped down. Her arms slowly wrapped around Kalina's body, using them to hold herself up.<br>
<br>
She never tried to stop Kalina until the vampire had her fill, and when she recieved the wonderful kiss, she pressed in a bit, making the kiss as deep as Kalina was comfortable with, before pulling back. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"The same could go for you~"</span> She fixed up her collar to cover the bite marks, though they wouldn't be there for too much longer, so she put it out of her mind. <span style="color: rgb(124, 112, 107)">"And as for Elizabeth Mason, I've been having to do the work for two! It truly is a travesty. I guess she'll just have to figure out a way to make it up to me~ Think she'll be able to~?"</span>​</div></div>

<span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“I've had better days...”</b></span> Morana replied to Shion. The woman using a sense of irony? Was this a type of humour? Clearly, she was on death's door if she was suddenly going that far. <br>
<br>
Then again, even in her current state, she did wonder why Scylla addressed to Chandra as 'Kali' just then. Perhaps that was her true identity? She'd claimed using alternate identities before. It'd not be too far-fetched if she was currently using one. Then again, the purple blob of hyper-active witchery might also be the type to give folk random nicknames, as was put forth by Mr.S's new identity. She decided to let it rest for now, she had bigger concerns.<br>
<br>
One of those was the alchemist. She took the bottle and stared at it for a moment, hesitating for a second. <span style="color: #F5F5DC"><b>“Well... I guess my usual fix is already being tampered with, after someone ensured everyone and their mother would get their hands on the recipe... so I guess I might as well start trying some alternatives.”</b></span> She concluded, using one of the mechanical fingers on her slightly more humanoid hand to unhook something near her neck and then take off her mask. Her mouth and nose were not a pretty sight to see, both being rather scarred and disfigured. Her breathing sounded a lot heavier and pained the moment the tubes from her mask stopped feeding her whatever drug she'd been on. It's probably why she was very quick to take the [Natural Cure E] as quickly as possible before hooking her mask back up and hooking it back into place. Whatever effects it might end up having, they didn't seem to be immediate, as she didn't look all that much better just yet. <br>

For a moment, she'd almost been thrown into another identity crisis. She was scared of the fact she'd enjoyed it when giving Sophia some pain to feel. She'd enjoyed it a lot. Was she really a [monster] type of monster after all? Luckily enough, she quickly realised what about it she liked. The 'thank you' part was what made it fun, that's what made it feel exciting. The fact that the other side enjoyed it was what made her enjoy it as well. She'd hate doing this type of thing to someone unwilling more than anything, even though [monsters] would only enjoy it more if their victims didn't. Yes, Sophia might've awoken something bad or weird in her, but it wasn't something that was [monster] about her. At least not in a sense she had to be terrified off. With that relief washing over her, she didn't resist the kiss at all, to the point Sophia would likely end up tasting some remnants of her own blood from it.<br>
<br>
Upon returning to the others, she'd likely have to be careful not to seem too happy and reinvigorated. <span style="color: #778899"><b>“I'm not sure, she's a rather clumsy one, but she might be creative enough to come up with some ideas~”</b></span> She replied with a wink, already wondering out certain things.<br>
<br>
As the two would return the group, the group itself would eventually head back to the station. Their mission here completed. The zombies didn't have much information on the enemy on them, sadly enough. Except for one thing. <u>The metal parts were covered with scratch marks.</u> As if something sharp and dangerous had cut up the original suits. A series of swords, possible claws? It wasn't entirely clear, but it looked very sharp and very dangerous. The resurrected bodies might've been the same at some point, but were too deformed in the resurrection process to reveal much more. <br>

<span style="color: red"><b>Quick note to the grader; considering the RP ended being more than one part, with a second part soon following, the Dhampir evolved racial title she'd be striving for doesn't suit this part, as that'd occur in a later part.</b> Something more generic, or perhaps also a Widersia Adventurer's Guild F title might work better for this part.</span><br>
<br>
<b><u>Cayde Whitinger</u></b><br>
<b>Title: [Self-cultivating] </b> – Character is constantly trying to reflect on their past actions for the sake of bettering themselves. They are likelier to find flaws within themselves, but also likelier to learn to mitigate them and to avoid repeating mistakes. <br>
<span style="color: red">OOC Note: [Widersia Adventurer F] might also work, but might work better after the entire quest wraps up, unless it would be more logical to upgrade it to [Widersia Adventure E] in a second part and staring at F here.</span><br>
<br>
<b>Skill: [Leadership F] </b> – 7 points from narrator bonus. For his continued ability to keep people working as team.<br>
<br>
<b><u>Iberis Odhir</u></b><br>
<b>Title: [Reflective] </b> – Character has a tendency to reflect on both past and recent events. They are less likely to act quickly, but more likely to act with care and with clear goals in mind. <br>
<b>Title: [Cuddly] </b> – Character appears to be extremely cuddly. Makes her seem less dangerous and makes it more difficult for people to resist a desire to hug or cuddle her. <br>
<br>
<b>Skill: [Empathy F] </b> - 7 points from narrator bonus. For being able to understand what Shion was going through and for successfully connecting with others.<br>
<br>
<b><u>Scylla</u></b><br>
<b>Title: [Miss Purple] </b> – Character's purple colours are eye-catching enough to make them stand out as someone to pay attention to, for better or for worse. <br>
<b>Title: [Morale Leader] </b> – Character is able to help others keep up their morale and stay motivated.<br>
<br>
<b>Skill: [Energized D =&gt; C] </b> – 7 points from narrator bonus. For being extremely hyper and active both in combat and outside of combat. <br>
<br>
<b><u>Shion</u></b><br>

<br>
<b>Skill: [Empathy F =&gt; E] </b> - 7 points from narrator bonus. For being very empathic to most others and even using telepathy to connect with them. <br>
<b>Skill: [Insight F] </b> - 7 points from narrator bonus. Having gained some insight into the thought process of others after using telepathy to peer into their thoughts/minds. <br>
<br>
<b><u>Sophia Smith</u></b><br>

Good to finally have a widersia rp. This rp was weird. Went in expecting vampire hunt. Felt like 80% was drama pertaining to pasts and intercharacter relationships as well as identity crisis. Perhaps that's the vampire way XD. Think i would have preferred the bits to include the translated versions somewhere. I suppose if it wasn't meant to be translated by the characters, perhaps it shouldn't have been listed at all and just dm'd to those in the know?  Just seemed like a way to save some effort for either players or narrator. Thanks for splitting this. The pacing for this seems to be a bit on the slow side for some reason. Probably didn't help having petting sessions and private intimacy moments but then the focus of the rp was probably not really about the vampire stuff. Guess we'll see what part 2 has for it.  Lots of undead trauma with this group. ^^;<br>
<br>
Aftermath:<br>
Seems like part 2 picks up pretty much where part 1 left off so we can save this and titles for next one.<br>
<br>
Rewards:<br>
<br>
Kalina - 64 points (narration bonus)<br>
<br>
Scylla - 43 points<br>
optional narrator skill  upgrade acquired [Energized C] - if claimed, add 7points to earned and spent.<br>
<br>
Shion - 43 points<br>
optional narrator skill upgrade acquired [Empathy E] - if claimed, add 7points to earned and spent.<br>
optional narrator skill acquired [Insight F] - if claimed, add 7points to earned and spent.<br>
<br>
Sophia - 43 points<br>
(doesn't have character grade to support recommended narration bonus)<br>
<br>
Cayde - 43 points<br>
optional narrator skill acquired [Leadership F] - if claimed, add 7points to earned and spent.<br>
<br>
Iberis - 43 points<br>
optional narrator skill acquired [Empathy F] - if claimed, add 7points to earned and spent.</div>
