Facing increasing competition from faster rivals and with development of its ageing six-cylinder engine nearing its end, Rolls-Royce turned to V8 power as the 1960s approached. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their 'Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo's performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Although wider and shorter than the 'six' it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering was standardised. Immensely successful both at home and abroad, the Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 remained in production until the autumn of 1962.

 

As well as the factory-bodied cars, bespoke creations from coachbuilders James Young and the now merged firm of H J Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd (now Rolls-Royce-owned) continued to be available on the 'Cloud II chassis for those discerning enthusiasts wealthy enough to afford them. Indeed, as the factory did not offer a convertible or drophead coupé, a coachbuilt car was the only option if one's preference was Rolls-Royce-style fresh air motoring. Available in both Rolls-Royce and Bentley forms, H J Mulliner's two-door drophead coupé (Design No. 7504) was by far the most popular. Hand crafted style such as this attracted a hefty premium though, H J Mulliner's convertible being priced some 30% above the standard Silver Cloud II four-door saloon, which was already one of the world's most expensive cars. Out of a total of 2,417 Silver Cloud IIs built from September 1959 until August 1962, only 107 had the stylish and desirable drophead coupé body built by H J Mulliner, of which 74 were left-hand drive cars like this example.

 

Dating from the final year of production, this H J Mulliner-bodied Silver Cloud II drophead, chassis number 'LSAE89', was built to North American specification for Mr George L Jyurovat of Peninsula, Ohio, reputedly a NASA engineer. Special features specified included Sundym glass, electric windows, electric aerial, and a split bench front seat, while mirrors to both front wings were fitted in the USA by Rolls-Royce Inc. Mr Jyurovat kept the Rolls-Royce until his death. In June 1989 the car was sold from his estate, passing to Richard Gorman of Vantage Motorworks in North Miami, Florida.

 

When auctioneer Thomas Barrett bought the Rolls-Royce from Richard Gorman soon afterwards, it had covered only 20,982 miles from new. Although accompanying paperwork records the sale from Gorman to Barrett, a letter on file dated 15th June 1989 suggests that Gorman sold the car to Mr Charles Crail of Carpenteria, CA. Subsequently the Rolls-Royce passed to the late Don Williams, the highly respected American dealer/collector, Pebble Beach exhibitor and co-founder of the world renowned Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California where the car remained until 2011. It was then purchased by Maastricht-based Bugatti collector Jack Braam Ruben, who sold it on to a Belgian collector. Little used throughout its life, this remarkable Silver Cloud II has covered only 22,430 miles from new over the course of the last 60-plus years.

 

Offered fresh from extensive recommissioning by Automobile Saey of Beauvechain, this rare and exclusive coachbuilt Rolls-Royce drophead comes with their invoice for €10,408; copies of original factory paperwork; old bills of sale; assorted correspondence; Belgian registration papers; and a current technical inspection.

In addition to purchasing the conventional Silver Cloud III, a selection of differing body types could be built to order by way of coachbuilders as this was the last Rolls Royce car for the mass-market to be produced with a separate chassis. One of the most notable ones was by Mulliner Park Ward of London, who gave us this very interesting variant known (back in the days before racial sensitivities) as the 'Chinese Eye' design, with slanted headlights to make it look a bit more lairy. To widen production in a diminishing market, this adaptation was made available for the Bentley S3 Continental as well as for the Silver Cloud III so, of the 328 coach-built Silver Cloud III, about 100 were of this style.

Kimani Silvercloud looks at lily "are we gonna play? or just sit here and talk about it "we'll go easy on you" she said teasingly smiling again back to her normal happy self

 

Kitam Nightfire: You pissed off the weatehr gods ))

 

Lily Lowtide: D: ))

 

Tanner smiles warmly to Toby before looking over to Kimani after hearing Lily's responce, "basicly what we're going to be doing is spinning a bottle. Whoever it points to gets asked truth or dare by the person who went before them. So if you chose truth maybe someone will ask you if you like any boys and you'll answer truthfully. Or if you say dare maybe they'll say you need to stand on your head for fifteen minutes or something silly like that. Who knows. It's all for fun."

 

Kit looked over to Lily grinning evily as Jaz fell asleep with him cuddling him, before glanceing to Toby and listening

 

Amara tapped the plactic container holding her sandwiches. "Here you go." She still felt like causing trouble however, her eyes falling on Lily. "Let's play already."

 

Tanner Blackheart: [[whoever's spinning gets to choose who it lands on. How's that sound?]]

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: cool with me!

 

Kimani Silvercloud: fine with me!))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: works for me.

 

Kitam Nightfire: If the question "do you like any boys?" was asked to me...... thered be alot of guys on that list... o.o ))

 

Tanner Blackheart: [[hahah]]

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: Ha !

 

Tanner Blackheart: [[me too ~_^]]

 

Lily Lowtide looks over to Kit and really had no idea why he was grinning like that. Maybe cause he's a who-- nevermind. She looks over to Tanner as he explains, then looks around to everyone, noticing that now Amara was looking at her. She tilts her head to the side and shrugs. "Let's play then, I guess."

 

Akiel Martian shifted his gaze to Tobias, "..he spooke up lightly and said, "..Toby, bro..which MD of the Pack do oi gotta talk to about gettin' in a wee bit of Medical know-how..ye', Fluff..or who ever else be a stitcher?", he said taking another sandwich for himself, tearing at the wrapper and putting it in his pocket, the sandwich was raised to his mouth as he took a bite.

 

Kit snickerd abit when he heard Tobias explanation, gettign to his feet he'd walk over to a small stockpile of supplies, looking them over he'd chug down a bottle of root beer before placeing it down on the floor and plopping down, "Alrigth guys!" he chimed and grinned evily, "I'm spinning"

 

Kimani Silvercloud wiggles happily she sits up and loks around wondering who spun first

 

Tobias Reyes quietly makes his way toward the small section of unused space beside the television, leaning back against the wall there as he turns his gaze toward Akiel. "Well--Fluffy, Amara or myself would be the best folks to talk to. As long as you attend classes and show some initiative, I'm sure, mate, you'll gain some basic knowledge pretty quick."

 

Tanner nods calmly, "ok, do it Kit..." he says smiling and watching, waiting for the other to spin. He'd probably end up embarassed at the end of this but he knew it would be a really good way to bring up everyone's spirit and help them forget about the storm.

 

Lily Lowtide watches Kit and prepares to jump up and run for her life if it lands on her. She really, really hated this friggin' game.

 

Akiel Martian nodded to Toby and swallowed, "..appreciate the intel bro, as always, askin' ye' because ye' here..but heck, oi know ye' be a bright stitcher n' wouldnt mind learnin' a few tricks from ye'..just alot of the time, this week caught myself with injured pals in me arms n' oi dinna' know what ta do..", he shrugged lightly, watching Kit spin.

 

Kit smiled over to Tanner, glad to know the other wasn't angry at him for likeing Peanut, spinning the bottle he'd watch the glass reflect some of the light from the fire around the den like a disco ball before landing on Puddin and Tanner, and since Puddin was asleep, he'd look over to his brother and grin, "Alright little brother.. Truth or Dare?"

 

Tanner blinks and frowns slightly before sighing, "you so had to have cheated..." he then chuckles and shrugs, "ummm... truth?" he asks not sure if that was a good idea or not but points out to the other, "remember... kid friendly."

 

Amara bobbed her head to the beat of the radio music, nibbling on yet another sandwich. "Oh Tanner's up first?"

 

Lily Lowtide just watches. My post. Ta-daaa!

 

Kit snickered abit and nodded tapping his finger with a chin, he'd ask silyl questions at first before getting into the embarrsing stuff, "Hmm.... Alright. If there were no bad side affects.... Would you eat an entire gallon of ice cream by yourself?"

 

Akiel Martian: Best-post-ever..Oo;;))

 

Kitam Nightfire: I know right? ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at Tanner then back at kit giggling at the question

 

Kitam Nightfire bows to Lily the all mighty post god ))

 

obias Reyes probably wasn't paying enough attention to what was going on around him, let alone what game the other Pack members had started... that would probably end up poorly for him if, or when, he found out just what they had started. He'd nod casually to Wolf before speaking. "And I appreciate the ego-boost." He'd say with a slight snicker. "We should be startin' classes in the next week or so. I'm more than happy to have anyone attend, whether you want to actually be classified as a medic or just learn some skills. After all, knowledge is power." He'd say, punctuating his last remark with a hint of sarcasm.

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: That was epic Lil. xP

 

Lily Lowtide: Tnakoo, tankoo everybody! I'll be around all week! *bows* ))

 

Tanner lifts an eyebrow and chuckles slightly, shrugging, "well probably not too fast but sure... I'm not too into brainfreeze though... anyway, my spin..." he says as he shrugs, "you spin it for me Kit? My hands are full."

 

Kitam Nightfire: bbye lilers! love you! ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Wut? Who's leaving? ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Holy butt I haven't heard this song in forever. ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: lol ))

 

Kit snickered abit and nodded seeing Puddin he'd reach for the bottle and spin it, just like last time it'd reflect the fire light like a mini disco ball before the nozzle landed on Tobias, looking over to the medic he'd call over, "Alright Toby! Truth or dare?

 

Akiel Martian: "Aye, Toby..ye' be kind enough n' let me know..oi mean if the dun mass text us all, would appreciate knowing either way..", he took another bite and blinked, looking to the bottle and smirking, he'd been a kid last time he played this.

 

Kitam Nightfire: I feel like a dork... Im useing an actual bottle to do this... like laying my screen flat, alt camm9ing above us and spinning XD ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Lol@Alex. ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: lol ))

 

Akiel Martian: You are a dork..funny dork, but all the same..XD))

 

Tobias Reyes nods to Wolf, a simple 'will do' leaving his lips before he'd turn to see just what Kit was yelling about. His eyes would move from the light-haired bloke, to the bottle then back to Kit again. His jaw would go slightly lax and he'd shake his head slowly from side to side. "Sorry mate, I'm not going to kiss you." He mutters softly; obviously missing the fact that the others had modified the game.

 

Kimani Silvercloud: LOL kit nice job))

 

Kit roleld his eyes before shakeing his head, "oookeeee...." he'd gently nudge the bottle until it pointed to Amara grinning to his friend he'd call over, Alright Amara. Truth or Dare?"

 

Kitam Nightfire coughs when he sees where the bottle end pointed on amara >.> ))

 

Amara pondered the options and settled on an answer. She'd regret it either way. "Dare."

 

Kimani Silvercloud hears her voice being called out on the radio again then goes back to paying attention to the game

 

Tanner chuckles at Toby and shakes his head, "silly neko... it's truth or dare spin the bottle..." he says before turning to watch Amara decide on which she'd choose.

 

Kit cackled evily before hopping to his feet and putting his arms out to the side, "I "dare" you to try and pick me up" he grinned like a fricken maniac, that was suicide due to the fact he weighed over 300lbs due to his cybernetic parts, it'd be evil an funny at the same time

 

Tobias Reyes watches Kit as he moves the bottle to Amara, the words 'truth or dare' leaving Kit's lips before Toby would hear Tanner speaking on his other side. He'd turn his head to look at the bloke, finally understanding that he and Kit wouldn't have had to spend seven minutes in tongue-heaven. He'd chuckle awkwardly before bringing his right hand up to his temple, rubbing his palms into his skull as a soft 'oh' leaves his lips.

 

Lily Lowtide looks over to Kit at the mention of Amara picking him up and bites her lip. "I don't think that's a good idea.." she mumbles as she looks to the two. Though it might have been too quiet to hear.

 

Akiel Martian frowned at that, shaking his head, "..should've kept that bet fer me, Kit..that aint right..", he looked to Mara and smirked, "..eat yer spinnach lass?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud watches as kit holds himself out then looks at lily "why's it a bad idea?" she ask.. she was right next to lily, thus the ability to hear her

 

Akiel Martian: "We call Kit..'tin-man' fer a reason lass..he's a heavy one, with all them contraptions and do-hickeys in 'em.."

 

Amara glared at Kit. She was not about to throw her back out for this idiot. She'd stand slowly, walking over to the Elder. She then swiftly and on purpose knelt down, swinging her foot to trip him and his heavy ass. If she suceeded, Kit would hit the stone floor. If she missed, she'd simply stand a grumble.

 

Tanner tilts his head and chuckles slightly, saying nothing about Kit taking his turn. Instead he just watches waiting to see what Amara would do. He blinks his eyes going wide as he sees Amara try to trip the other.

 

Lily Lowtide looks to Kimani and sighs. "Cause Kit's a fatty." she says with a nod. Well, he obviously wasn't fat. But the cybernetic stuff, yaknow. Well, atleast that was half of the reason he was so heavy. She looks over to catch what Amara was trying to do then and throws her arms up in the air going "Woo!" whether it hit or not.

 

Lily Lowtide: I butchered that. half of the reason why Amara shouldn't lift him* ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Musicz is distracting me! x_X ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud nodding she looks st amara snickering "looks like she's evening the playing field" that worked for this.. right yeah

 

Kimani Silvercloud: is having the same issue :P Lily my posts are gonna suck too))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: That's why I have to turn it off when I type one out lol

 

Kimani Silvercloud: Never!!))

 

Kit blinked abit and hadn't been expecting it, falling to the side he hit the stone with a loud CRACK! ((as he falls through teh floor like an old Tom and Jerry cartoon XD)) and lets out a loud, "oof!" just kinda laying there for a moment before coughing and holding his chest, "Ow...." he grumbled before speaking to Amara, "Fine... I dare you to....." he sigehd trying to think of something that wouldn't cause bodily injury, "Too......Fine Lily's ears!"

 

Lily Lowtide: Haha. I think Alex does something to the music. Cause whenever he plays I just go O_O and zone out. ))

 

Akiel Martian laughed a moment and held up his hand to Mara, setting up a high five for her, whether she hit or miss, he still liked her style, "..nice one.."

 

Kimani Silvercloud: CRACK MUSIC))

 

Kitam Nightfire: lol ))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: I was going to say, It's called ecstasy Lil. xP

 

Kitam Nightfire: muhahaha! ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Lmao. ))

 

Tanner Blackheart: [[ok.. too what lily's ears?]]

 

Kimani Silvercloud: hahaha Kit I love you!))

 

Lily Lowtide: Lmao I know Kit. Fine my ears? ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: Love oyu too :3 ))

Kitam Nightfire: "find

Kitam Nightfire: ))

 

Lily Lowtide: o_O ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: I LOVE THIS SONG! ))

Kitam Nightfire: <3333333 ))

 

Tanner chuckles slightly before shaking his head, "was my turn anyway silly wolf... now, Amara, truth or dare? Again..." he says sticking his tongue out playfully at Kit before turning to look at Amara.

 

Kit huphed abit rolling onto his side and stairng at the fire like Inuyasha does when he's full

 

Lily Lowtide blinks as Kit goes crashing down, then looks to Amara. "Find my ears?" Well, they were kind of huge-ish. She looks over to Tanner than and shrugs.

 

Amara ignored Kit's yelling and extended a hand, fully intending to help him up. "It's supposed to be my turn." she said sweetly. "I'll take truth this time."

 

Tanner nods calmly to Amara and tilts his head to the side for a moment trying to think of something, "ok... lets see... who in Midian do you admire most?" he says deciding to keep it completely clean... for now.

 

Kitam Nightfire: bah... stopid anim x3 ))

 

Tobias Reyes had zoned out again. Honestly, his mind was somewhere else tonight... but whatever Amara had done to Kit; well, he didn't approve of the violence... Yet another thing he'd have to talk to them about later, and yet again, when he actually had a sliver of patience to work with.

 

Kimani Silvercloud watches amara then turns when she hears tanners question and she starts thinking about that one herself.. finding it difficult to pick one of the many adults she knew

 

Kitam Nightfire: AND FIALING! ))

Kitam Nightfire: OMFG! XD ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Lmao Alex. ))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: I'm quickly falling in love with Ghost's IC chit-chat.

 

Lily Lowtide: He's my favorite DJ. XD ))

(OOC)Tobias Reyes throws his cat at Kit ! "That's for calling me a whore !"

 

Kitam Nightfire: your posty btw Amara x3 ))

 

Lily Lowtide: I MEAN KIT* Typo centraaal. ))

 

Amara blinked. "Who do I admire most in Midian? Interesting question." She didn't have one set person. "I admire several people to be honest since I got here. I admire Ayr for several reasons. I admire Fluffy and Tobias for putting up with me..." she'd laugh a little at that. "And I admire a few others I will not be naming tonight." She'd sit down, taking hold of the bottle. "My turn now, yes?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud: hehe its alright))

 

Kitam Nightfire: ayeeee!!!!!!! *huggles said kitty > running outside for the durry. xP

 

Kitam Nightfire: el oh el ))

Kimani Silvercloud: CHAR!!!)))

 

Char Sharktooth: tp me or let me the fuck in!))

 

Kitam Nightfire: bahahah ))

Kitam Nightfire: I got it ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud: ok))

 

Amara smiled at the girl. " I'm not gonna ask who you like or anything..." She smirked again. "Is there anything you've honestly wanted to ask adults, but were too shy to do so?"

 

Kitam Nightfire: oh god... ))

Kitam Nightfire covers ears ))

 

Char Sharktooth is hit with a peice of metal and falls into the ocean diying instantly))

 

Lily Lowtide: XD ))

 

Char Sharktooth: hi robot

Kitam Nightfire: .> We're like James Bond... if we tell you we gotta kill you ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud waves at char "come sit over here under this blanket and warm up" she says kindly

opening the blanket for char

 

Lily Lowtide smiles at Kimani's question, but doesn't say much. She had never really used that line herself. She just did the 'what? I didn't hear you' thing like she did earlier.

 

Char Sharktooth takes of his wet jacket and throws it on kit "try not to rust"

 

Kit blinks abit and splutters before picking the jacket off of him and tossing it to the side, getting to his feet he'd pick up a towel and blanket that had both been warming by the fire before tossing them at

Char, finally going to lie back down again

 

Kitam Nightfire: yeah Kit's the guy who cares even if the other person is a jerk x3.... Although he might start to practice "hard love" if it happens again >.>))

 

Kimani Silvercloud frowns when char didnt hear her or something then grins "Is it my turn?" she asks wit ha smile gabbing the bottle ready to spin it

 

Lily Lowtide: Kings of Leon! .> <.< ))

 

Char Sharktooth: hawt))

 

Kimani Silvercloud grins then spins the bottle as she looks at char patting the couch waiting till after her turn, then maybe she'll move

 

Char Sharktooth: so hawt))

 

Kimani Silvercloud is closing her eyes then spinning her cam :P))

 

Kitam Nightfire: rofl ))

Kitam Nightfire: my mini bottle on the screen works better x3 )

 

Lily Lowtide watches the bottle spin and just waits to see who it lands on. Awesome post numbero dos.

 

Kit is just kinda laying there.....

 

Lily Lowtide: You win. ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: lol ))

 

Char Sharktooth sits and watches everyone

 

Kimani Silvercloud watches as the botle lands on Kit "okay Kit truth or dare?" she says in a light tone

 

Kitam Nightfire: Im so lazy i didnt even use a complete word XD ))

 

Lily Lowtide goes \o/ when it doesn't land on her.. again. Yusshh.

 

Kimani Silvercloud: I swear it landed on him, when i opened my eys it was on kit))

 

Lily Lowtide: XD ))

 

Kit blinked abit yawning softly when someone had said his name, thinking for a moment he'd raise his hand like someone who'd just been hit by electro paddles, "Uhm...hmm.. Truth me kiddo..."

*continued*

 

Char Sharktooth: i played the new batman game demo today, im so fucking buying that shit))

 

Kitam Nightfire: rofl ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: I want that game too but I promised myself I wouldnt play another super hero game until super man grew a pair XD ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud thinks for a second then begins her question still thinking as she goes "who do you like?" she was gonna be nice and ask who he liked the most.. but that'd be no fun

 

Lily Lowtide: Ohh me! PICK ME! *waves her arms around* ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Kidding.. ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud: lmao))

 

Kit closed his eyes and slammed the back of his head into the stone, damn still awake, sighing he'd move up a hand to tap his chin thinking, dammit he hated hos honesty policey, "Well...." he finally decided to just say one person, pointing over to unconciouse Jaz he'd smile softly, "Jaz there"

 

Lily Lowtide chokes and holds back a laugh. Why did she find that funny? Who knows.

 

Kitam Nightfire punts Lily so hard his foot goes up her ass o.o;;;; ))

 

Lily Lowtide: But whyyyeee?! I luff yew! D: ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud smiles then rolls the bottle to him and hops up looking over at char offering him a second blanket "can I sit with you?" she asks

 

Kitam Nightfire hugs ))

 

Lily Lowtide: YES I LOVE THIS SONG! ))

 

Lily Lowtide screams and dances. ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud: hahah))

 

Tobias Reyes scoffs softly at Kit's answer, his gaze moving toward the unconscious Jaz as he takes another drag off his durry. "You and no-tails?" He asks plainly. "You -do- know he's missing his tail, right?" He asks, snickering softly.

 

Lily Lowtide: Don't mind me.. I really have to dance. ))

 

Char Sharktooth smiles up at her "ofcourse

 

Lily Lowtide: AW NO!))

 

Lily Lowtide starts to dance... again

 

Kit stops the bottle with his foot before tapping it with his toe so he could spin it without haveing to sit up, waiting for the glass to stop ringing he'd groan and sit up seeing the bottle land on Tobias he'd lay back again yawnign out, "I don't care.... Truth or Dare Toby"

 

Kitam Nightfire: Im so lazy XD ))

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: Kimani, just click the chair to change poses.

 

Kitam Nightfire is too lazy to even stare at Lily's ass ))

 

Lily Lowtide: Would you lie with me and just forget the world? ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud: ahh thanks))

 

Tobias Reyes pulls the durry from his lips, flicking it casually between his fingers, allowing the ash from the end to flutter to the floor. "Truth me mate." He says before returning the cancer-stick to his lips.

 

Kimani Silvercloud: well this is the bes out of them))

 

Lily Lowtide rubs her butt all up on Kit. ))

 

Kit cracked his back before letting another loud yawn pass through his lips, stupid vaccine makeing him sleepy, "Hmm.... Alright... If it'd save your life... Would you make out with Lily?"

 

Kitam Nightfire sets Lily's ass on fire ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud sits next to char wrapping him up in her exta blanket "you still cold?" she asks softly looking at her newest friend half listening to the game. she wasnt to wet anymore just the tip of her tail and hair left to dry

 

Lily Lowtide continues to dance and turns her head to look at Toby for his answer, making kissy faces at him to be a butt.

 

Amara choked on her sandwich, holding her throat as she coughs. "I wanna see this..."

 

Kitam Nightfire: lol ))

 

Tobias Reyes' gaze moves from Kit to Lily... then back to Kit again. "Well, first you'd have to -actually- save my life; then I'd have to think about it." He'd turn to look at Lily before continuing; frowning at the faces she continued to make at him. "No offense mate, but I think of you more as a sister than a steamy make-out session."

 

Kimani Silvercloud: LILY JUST DANCE!!))

 

Kit snickered evily just kicking the bottle gently over to Toby without even sitting up, luckily the bottle didn't land in the fire, instead just continueing to roll until it hit Toby's feet

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: Nice save, Tobes

 

Kitam Nightfire: el fucking oh fucking el XD ))

 

Lily Lowtide makes a pouty face as she dances. "Aww man..." she says as she hangs her head for a second, then looks back up and smirks. "I wouldn't kiss you either, so it's cool." she says with a grin. "Love you Tobs!" she says as she does as the song says.. and just dances.

 

Kitam Nightfire watches Lily's ass whistle as she dances ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: rofl ))

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: ...he's spinning...

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: Ha !

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: thought you'd all enjoy that. xP

 

Kitam Nightfire throws the two kids at Tobias like bullets ))

 

Char Sharktooth: nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu))

 

Lily Lowtide: XD ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: I am the only person who carrys around a kid gun... its a giant revolver that you load children into XD ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: lol ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: the bigger they are the higehr caliber they are XD ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud: WAHHH!!))

 

Kitam Nightfire: The kid gun can also be loaded with little people XD ))

 

Char Sharktooth gets bored and begins throwing magnets at kit's arm and head

 

Tobias Reyes casually leans over and places his right thumb one side of the bottle, his right

middle-finger on the other side; spinning the bottle between them as if he'd done the motion hundreds of times before. The bottle would spin on it's side, for a good minute or so, before finally resting on Lily. "So, sheila who wouldn't kiss me anyway. Truth or dare?"

 

Lily Lowtide freezes and stops dancing as the bottle lands on her. Her hears instantly flatten against her head and she crosses her arms, staring at the bottle with a death-glare. "Uhh.. truth, I guess." No way she was picking dare.

 

Kitam Nightfire: err... how id end up here? o.o ))

 

Kitam Nightfire: im going to bed anyways.. night guys <3 ))

 

Jayde Rasmuson walks up behind the couch and peers in on everyone quite creepily, her breath

straining some.. her emerald eyes red where they used to be white.

 

Lily Lowtide: Night Kit! ))

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: night kit

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks back at char she touches his hand to see if it is cold taking the blanket all the way off and wrapping it around char

 

Char Sharktooth: brb))

 

Amara waved to jayde the stalker. "Welcome to Truth or Dare: Spin the bottle edition." She'd chuckle waiting to hear what Toby had in store.

 

Char Sharktooth takes the blankets and moves closer to kim to get warmer

 

Kimani Silvercloud rubs char's back to help his blood get moving "why werent you inside sooner?" she asks wispering

 

Tobias Reyes snickers when Lily picks the truth over the dare. The bloke had a surprisingly good memory and he had a couple questions he'd been dying to ask the sheila. It just seemed a bit more appropriate to ask her in an uncomfortable group setting like this then to ask her one-on-one. "Okay." He'd say, his tone slow and casual as he speaks. "What's the deal with you and that -Draven- bloke? And don't skip on the skeezy details. I've got to know exactly what the no-tailed ratbag is doing with our Packies."

Char Sharktooth looks at her with a serious face "big jacket and alot of wind,make little kids fly like birds"

 

Kimani Silvercloud nodding "oh, Miss Lily found me, the lightning had scared me and I was curled up by the park" she says looking down at him "I didnt have a coat, cause I wasnt expecting this to happen"

 

Lily Lowtide blinks at the question and didn't think it was really all that big of a deal to talk about. "What do you mean what's the deal?" she'd ask with a smirk as she side-steps for no reason, really. "We're together, dating, boyfriend and girlfriend.. whatever you want to call it." she says with a small laugh, knowing full well that a lot of people thought Draven was a douche. "I don't really know what you want to know about it..." she says, cause really, there wasn't much to know. She reaches for the bottle then. "My turn?"

 

Char Sharktooth looks at her again with more serious face "and i was tottally planing to take flight over the bad place?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks up when lily says it her turn then back down "you mean the bunker?" she asks looking back up to watch the bottle spin

 

Jayde Rasmuson murrs low and sniffles, coming up to stand beside Lily. Her messed up eyes looking around in an almost paranoid fashion, she'd sit on the couch and watch silently

 

Char Sharktooth: i guess raven tells me to avoid it

 

Tobias Reyes wrinkles his brow when Lily side-steps his question. "Just seems odd for an ace Hybrid like you to be wasting your time on some bloke who doesn't have a tail." He'd mutter before plucking the durry from his lips and casually tossing it into the fire-pit. "But I guess you answered so, yeah, it's your turn."

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods "dont try to get in, its really bad, believe me, and if you see people with UAC uniforms on dont mess with them, okay?"

 

Lily Lowtide smirks at Toby and turns to look at Jayde with a slight wave. "Hey. You okay?" she asks as she notes her eyes. Probably just the storm. She takes the bottle and gives it a good spin, following it with her eyes until it finally lands on Amara. "Truth or Dare, Amara?" she asks with a small smile.

 

Char Sharktooth nods "ok"

 

Amara hummed quietly to herself. The avoidance of Tobias' question was too obvious for words. Lily was not that dense. "I'll take truth."

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at him sternly "you promise, please?" she pauses biting her bottom lip "I dont want you hurt" she looks up at amara still chewing on her lip still

 

Char Sharktooth smiles and kisses her hand "i promise"

 

Lily Lowtide smiles broadly, she totally did avoid Toby's question, but whatever. "Alright. So, would you

rather be stuck in that cage down there with Raven for a day or so, or be out in this storm for a few hours. Tell zee troof." Yes, last part was said with a weird accent. It was also kind of a weird question, but.. whatever. It's all she could think of.

 

Kimani Silvercloud turns red and looks around to see if anyone saw that she stutters out in a wisper "ch.. char... I..I ha.... have a boyfriend" her color deepens because she didnt really mind the kiss, but thought she was supposed to, sides, she felt like it was wrong

 

Tobias Reyes burst into a quick fit of laughter. He'd raise his right hand up to his mouth, as quickly as he could, in a poor attempt to sniffle the sound as his gaze moved from Lily to Amara. The thought of having to spend a whole day with that child seemed like hell to Toby. Now just image if the bloke could put two and two together and realize just who Ravie was now.

 

Char Sharktooth 's ears go flat and he frowns

 

Amara didn't was a second. "I'd be on the top of the highest, most brittle building dancing in the rain and 40 MPH gusts."

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: *waste

 

Lily Lowtide busts out laughing at that and grins something fierce. "I agree, good choice." she says with a nod as she looks to Toby and smirks. "Your turrrnn!" she chimes as she rolls the bottle to Amara.

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks away "I told you.. right" she says softly then looks back at him "he's nice and stuff" then has to look away again, unsure of what to do.. she got butterflies from char, but river always looked out fo her

 

Char Sharktooth pouts "no you didnt"

 

Jayde Rasmuson nodded to Lily, brushing a hand through her long hair she'd breathe in and out then flash what was supposed to be an assuring smile. Sniffling again she'd look down to where her things were stowed away then lean back into the couch, relaxing. "yeah, i'm fine.. you guys were bored huh? truth or dare.." her raspy voice sounded a bit strained.

 

Jayde Rasmuson: ((sorry i had to wander away a minute.. got a storm happenin rl too :D))

 

Char Sharktooth: woot go surf!))

 

Amara spun the bottle, watching it blur for a moment from the speed. The bottle's victim? Char. "Truth or

Dare, blondie."

 

Char Sharktooth glares at her "truth"

 

Kimani Silvercloud frowns then says softly "I'm sorry, I thought I did" she goes to touch his hand lightly then looks up when it's chars turn

 

Lily Lowtide looks to Jayde and nots, still giggling a bit. "Yup. Going back to the classics here." she says as she fidgets around a bit. "Ugh. I want to go outside. I hate being in one place for too long." Before you know it, she was going to start flipping circles in the den. Seriously... you just wait.

 

Lily Lowtide: nods* ))

 

Tobias Reyes' gaze moves toward Jayde once his fit of laughter had died down. He wasn't sure if he had actually met the sheila before... unless the near run-in he almost had in the den's infirmary had in fact been her. At this point, he couldn't be sure. He'd nod toward her anyway, his attention suddenly drawn from the game as he looks her over. "You -sure- you're alright? Unless you're voice -always- sounds like that, and I honestly wouldn't know so I hope to hell that it doesn't, It'd sound like you're coming down with a cold." He'd say as he pierces his lips. "Just how long were you outside?" He asks as his instinctual medic personality kicks in.

 

Amara stretched, squeaking as she did so. "What would you if you have the power to be Alpha for a day?" She honestly wanted to know what others would do if given the chance.

 

Char Sharktooth: that made no scense or is it jst me?))

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: you get to be leader. What do you do? Pretty simple....

 

Char Sharktooth: read how you typed it))

Char Sharktooth: missing some words?))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: she just missed the word do.

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: .....

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes hug-rapes Amara !

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: I's type too fast too.

 

Kimani Silvercloud haides her eyes..again))

 

Jayde Rasmuson let out an almost coughed laugh then groans quietly, pressing her throbbing head back into the soft cushion. Nodding some, she'd look down at her finally drying flesh.. the fine fur containing some of the moisture. Bowing her head a slight to the guy leaning against the cave wall, she'd suddenly feel dizzy then meet his gaze "i feel a little shitty alright? no biggie.. was out there for half an hour maybe..." she glances back to where her stuff was stored then in her sore, strained voice she'd coo "let me in on this game."

 

Kimani Silvercloud: *hides))

 

Char Sharktooth rubs his head "i think i would put raven on house arrest to keep her from vanishing and

getting arrested"

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: I'm getting tired I think also. hands just not listening

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks down at char "she got arrested, when?" then frowns relizing the gam was still

going on "nevermind, I'll find out later"

 

Char Sharktooth grabs the bottle and spins it , waiting for the spinsound to stop

 

Tobias Reyes scoffs loudly at the sheila's response. "Fine." He mutters, in the same tone both Amara and

 

Lily had probably grown so used to at this point. "Catch a cold, fall ill, contract a nasty virus due to your lowered immune system and cause us more pain down the road." He'd snicker as he leans his head back against the wall behind him, staring up at the cavern's roof. "Just cause us more work down the road. After all, it's not as much fun catching a simple bug when it's easy to cure. That's just -way- too easy." He'd say, as sarcastically as possible.

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: Awwww. *comforts Amara*

 

Char Sharktooth sees it stop pointing at toby, he then looks up pointing at him "you!"

 

Tobias Reyes lowers his head, staring down at the bottle before him. "Root." He'd mutter before looking back at the ankle bitter. "Wha'? Which one's it going to be?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud watches the botle land on toby then looks down at char, then dazing off into thought

 

Char Sharktooth nods at him "duh, cmon old man"

 

Lily Lowtide: You didn't ask him truth or dare... ))

 

Tobias Reyes facepalms at his own response. "Dare." He mutters before the ankle bitter's words finally set it. "And don't call me an old man!" He'd snap, his eyes glaring at the blond-haired bloke.

 

Jayde Rasmuson arched her brow and growled some at his snarkiness. "look i'm not one to ask for handouts and cures when i've got a shitty little cold." she closed her eyes a bit then glanced at Lily "excuse me."

 

Lily Lowtide: shgjdshgjds BRB KILLING MY CATS!))

 

Amara closed the sandwich container, with the intent of bringing the box back to the fridge to keep them from spoiling. She'd leave the loft for a moment, snickering upon hearing "old man."

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: Can I do the same on my end !?

 

Jayde Rasmuson: ((dude my cat's bein a fuckface too!!))

 

Lily Lowtide: Back... the deed is done. o_o ))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: Ha !

Eamon Cale finishes peeling off wee ones. He hears the pin drop in the scuffle, sees the lass hauled off Tres come back holding a grenade in her hand, but he's quick to see the pin hasn't been pulled. He whips back and grabs the haft of the scythe hooked in Tres' clothes, adding his strength to Cham's with a fierce backward yank to haul Tres up and off Jaina. "Auntie, get her out of here!" he barks, and reaches unerringly for the triggered grenade on Tres' chest. Four seconds. It's all they have.

 

ATMLADY Alcott: puts her arms around the girls and starts dragging them away

 

Elise Capalini can't blame the woman for striding in there despite her words; if her son were in there...yeah, she'd go in, too. She'd gotten Fern to go; that was something at least. She turns and strides forward, watching the apparent mech take on the other UAC soldier. She pins her ears at the sound of the shot, but moves toward Eamon and any kids on this side of him, silently praying when he reaches for the grenade.

 

Rai Pawpad wraps his arms around auntie's legs, hanging on to the girls.

 

Solrana Zagato lags on in, tilting her head to the side first at the sight of all the people in the MCMC, then taken a back by how many children where in there. She takes in a deep breath, looking the people over with suprise.

 

Tres Asbrink just grunts as he watches the Father reaching for his greandes and figures this is a battle he can not win. With him pulling everyone off of him he just throws the girl and the gerande at him. As he does that he quickly moves towards the exit to make his esacpe yelling for Pyros to get a move on its time to go.

 

Jaina Lefevre sails towards Eamon, not even having the strength to scream at this point. She's just wide-eyed and hurting.

 

Kimani Silvercloud is taken up by auntie and knowing she and Jai are now in safe arms she hears the mention of a grenade and curls into aunties arms

 

Nellie Meads flies through the air backwards, curling the precious, grown person's weapon in toward her chest. She hits the floor on the left part of her back, and skids like a hockey puck into the far wall, the top of her head making a sharp "whap".

  

Chameleon Blinker's sickle tear's through Tre's shirt as he runs. She steadies the scythe in one arm and keeps it at a ready stance, still unsure if danger remains, at least besides the ticking timebomb. She nods at Eamon, gratful for his help, especially in light of her wounded and bleeding right arm.

 

Rai Pawpad sprawls on the floor, the sudden tug on his tail taking him by surprise. He slides, twisting and struggling, to the back of the examining room, and looks up into his mother's face.

 

Pyros Zenovka just takes the rilfe and moves in a bit closer and brings up the useless rilfe and rys to smash at the mans face. His head turning to wacth Tres run past him and would let go of the rilfe at that time to run away ith the boss.

 

ATMLADY Alcott: gathers the children the best she can and shields their bodies with hers. Holding kimi in her arms and keeping jai and Rai close, she tries to comfort them"

 

Jaerik Draken 's head swiveled with the harsh blow of the rifle to his helmet. The sensation leaving a ringing in his ears and leaving him in a blur momentarily. But straightened his posture out as he hears the rifle drop to the ground and Pyros exiting.

 

Eamon Cale palms the grenade in time to catch Jaina as she's tossed bodily toward him. She lands hard against his chest, and he crouches in a single smooth motion, pushing her into Auntie's arms as he lunges for the door after the departing UAC. And prays grimly to Jesus, Mary, and any other fecking saint who might be listening that the delay element burns long enough for him to get the grenade out the back.

 

Elise Capalini isn't at all sure how the little neko girl flies right past her, but apparently she does. Her eye widens, and she moves to the girl's side, putting her hands over Nellie's before the pin can accidentally be pulled on this grenade. She would take the weapon from the girl, her ears still ringing from the gunshots as she watches Eamon with the live grenade.

 

Zoe Baran gathers Rai into her arms as quickly as she can, pressing him to her and not caring at the moment if she crushing him. She pushes off on her lead leg and hurries to the door where she entered. Her only though is to get this sweet boy out of any kind of blast radius.

 

Kimani Silvercloud squeezes auntie as tears run down her face, why did two awful things have to happen in one day, she just did not understand adults and their mean-ness

 

Solrana Zagato blinks in surprise at the mass chaos in the medical center, her jaw dropping open just a little as she sees a familar figure run by. Hey... wait a minute. She just stares in shock as Eamon heads for the back door as well, not seeing the grenade he was carrying and she feels torn before she started heading after Eamon and Tres.

 

Chameleon Blinker clutches onto her arm, watching Eamon run in wide eyed apprehension. She spots Solrana make a run for the man, and stumbles over to stop her. "Wait…no…bomb…"

 

Jaina Lefevre is wheezing and shaking, not saying a word. She thought she was safe in the hospital.... Lesson number three hundred and eighty two..for today.

 

Jaerik Draken turned quickly as Sol ran by, his heavily armored arm lifting to make her stop. Shaking his head slowly as he chirped through distortion of his helmet.

 

ATMLADY Alcott: lets Kimi down, "You girls should be safe now"

 

Jaerik Draken: Jatha'la bada boom..

 

Eamon Cale is through the thin curtains at a sprint. He hits the doors at a run, slamming them open at the same time his arm snaps around in a fastball pitch. The grenade sails over the rise, bounces once with a dull thump off the ground, and vanishes over the ridge. He whips around and into a crouch as the night roars and the concussive blast slams into him from behind.

 

Elise Capalini looks up at Auntie, thinking that they may be safe, but Father Eamon was out there with a live grenade... Bad, all bad...

 

Kimani Silvercloud plops down and goes over to jae knowing people probably cant understand him

 

Nellie Meads lies on ther back, staring up at the harsh light on the ceiling. She takes a couple of breaths, squirms on the floor to confirm that she hasn't broken anything. Not broken, but big ole bruisement in a major way. She feels her hand around the grenade, looks down at it, then rolls to her side and crawls out the door on her knees and one hand.

 

ATMLADY Alcott: says a prayer for the father, "hail mary, full of grace, don't let the grenade blow up in the fathers face"

 

Kimani Silvercloud touches Jae's arm and tugs on it "you ok?"

 

Jaerik Draken felt the side of the building shake and the lights flicker a moment, quickly crouching down and pulling Kima close and away from the back entrance, which blew open from the gust of the explosion. Sighing in relief as he placed his hand on her shoulder and examine her over for injuries.

Jaerik Draken: Dos okay? Xunus nind jivviim dos?

 

Jaina Lefevre is shaking against Auntie, staring where the man..and the bomb went. When the grenade goes off, she screams and puts both hands over her ears, eyes scrunched shut.

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at Jai through one eye "my eye is swollen from the youayesee mans elbow" her ears flaten at the noise and she screams like a little girl clutching her ears and hudling to the ground

 

Chameleon Blinker's ears twitch violently as the force of the explosion booms straight into the giant noisecatchers. She clutches at her head with her bloodied hands and groans.

 

ATMLADY Alcott: hugs jaina, "thats a good sign dear. If the Father had the grenade still in his hand, the explosion would not have been that loud"

 

Solrana Zagato skids to a halt as the armored man tried to stop her and Sid tried to grab her. She freezes, her eyes going wider at the armored man and his strange chirping, her hands automatically going for her weapons before the explosion's shock wave knocked her off her feet. She landed on her ass, her hands going to cover her head.

 

Elise Capalini feels the entire building seem to shake when the grenade goes off. She closes her eye and holds the grenade she took against her chest; time seems to still right there. She looks up at Auntie, not sure if those words are a comfort or not. Slowly, she moves toward the back door.

 

Eamon Cale covers his head with his arms, but not quick enough. The blast slams him into the med center wall, making him bark out a curse as his shoulder and skull crack hard against the concrete. For a moment he sees stars, when he sees anything at all, and he can't hear a bloody thing. There's only pain throbbing between his ears, and the quick rasp of his breath in his throat. "Fookin, weepin, bleedin Jaysus," he mutters, bracing a hand against the wall as he heaves himself to his feet.

 

Elise Capalini can't hear much of anything; between the gunshots and grenade blasts. She opens the back door, looking for Eamon, expecting to find him quite blown to bits. She's rather surprised to find she's entirely wrong, but bleeding even so. She can only look at him for a long moment. Stitches--they'd only just gotten them out, she thinks, and bites the inside of her cheek so she won't do something girly, like cry.

 

Jaina Lefevre whimpers at the hug from Auntie and squirms to get her to let go. Wrapped ribs hurt like hell...without being squeezed by a UAC lunatic and rolled around on tables and floors. She just curls on her side, on the floor, and does something she's not done in years...slips a thumb into her mouth. You almost die twice in one day and tell me YOU won't be sucking your thumb too!

 

Jaerik Draken consoled Kima, tilting her head up with the crook of his finger as he slid his visor up, examing the swelling with his true eyes. Titling his head as he smiled softly, pressing a finger against her cheek bone as gently as he could, checking for breaks.

 

Eamon Cale's head comes up as the door beside him slams open a second time. Bloody scalp wound, always looks worse than it is, and he can feel the warm wet sheeting down the right side of his face. "I'm all right," he rasps--and can't hear himself. He winces and shoves off the wall, turning toward Elise. "I don't know about ye, lass," he whispers, swaying toward her to pull her into his arms, "but I'm bloody done wi' bein shot, bashed, and fookin stabbed every time we go out."

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at Jae "were you hurt?" she looks him up and down eyes resting on his midsection she worries for one of the few adults she completely trusts

 

Chameleon Blinker slaps her hand back over her wound, watching Elise go after Eamon. She sighs, letting her sickle drop, clanging to the floor, as she looks around the room and checks to see if she's missed anyone needing help.

 

Jaerik Draken pressed his brass hand against the wound on his side, trying to stem the blood flow from it. Lifting his head to Kima and shaking his head. He'd survive, of this she could count on.

Jaerik Draken: Dorn tlu okay..

 

Jaerik Draken he nodded his head towards Jaina, giving Kim a small push towards her.

Jaerik Draken: Alu xxizz ilta...

 

Elise Capalini shakes her head, reading Eamon's lips to understand him. She tries to manage a smile, but her chin trembles. She lets herself be pulled into his arms, and reaches into his coat pocket for the handkerchief she knows will be there. She lifts it to his head and gently presses, then lifts the grenade in her other hand. "It wasn't without door prizes," she says and wonders if she's shouting. "Stitches here or in the med den?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods seeing he'll be okay she goes back to jai and just sits next to her knowing hugs will hurt

 

Solrana Zagato rubs her head as she blinks up at the others. She'd been taken unawares, not expecting it. Letting out a soft curse, she rolled onto the balls of her feet and tried to take stalk of who was injured and where.

 

Jaina Lefevre flinches as Kimi comes near, then glances at her and then back to the back doorway. She's watching...waiting for the next bad thing to happen.

 

Jaerik Draken slipped his visor back down as he stood up, slowly, gingerly, his hand never leaving his side. Letting out a low groan as he turned away. From within his helmet he was biting his tongue at the pain. There was shrapnel in there.

 

Kimani Silvercloud asks her in a soothing ton "will you be safer at home, once they patch you up again" she wants Jai to be in a safe locked place

 

Eamon Cale kisses her brow quickly as he pulls her close; no sense lingering and smearing her with blood. He chuckles wryly as she fishes out his handkerchief and presses it to the wound, only to half-close his eyes in another wince when the linen bites into open flesh. The pin is still in the grenade she's holding; he exhales and nods. "I have to see to Jaina first." He gently takes the handkerchief from her, holding it to his head himself, and turns her, drawing her after him and back inside.

 

Jaina Lefevre shakes her head. Tres is UAC...nowhere she would be /expected/ to be is safe.

 

Chameleon Blinker grips tightly onto her arm as crimson leaks through her closed fingers. Digging quickly in her pocket, she finds a piece of cloth and starts wrapping it tightly around her arm

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks around for anyone who can help Jai she says "can someone help Jai, she is hurt again!"

 

Solrana Zagato pushes her up to her feet, noticing the armored man injured and the kids. She purses her lips, drumming her fingers as she tried to determine who was the worst off. Frowning, she takes a step closer to the armored man, seeing him clutch at his side. "Let me see that?" she lifts her head up, looking over to the two children.

 

Elise Capalini nods at Eamon's words, and follows him back inside. Her own head is pounding, hearing still entirely off, but she knows well enough that they need to make sure the kids are secure before they do anything else.

 

Jaina Lefevre isn't really hurt /again/...just hurting...

 

Jaerik Draken shakes his head and steps away from Sol, waving her towards the children. "Hn.."

 

Kimani Silvercloud sees her shake, knowing jai needs a safe place to stay she looks around helplessly

  

Reinhardt Stenvaag bangs on the fence loud "On your feet soldier. Up and attem. Time for you to ship out." and enters the cell. He reaches down to pick up the shoe of hers that fell off durring the earlier beating.

 

Jaina Lefevre looks up at him and then away. "Can't get up. My legs is all tinglies." The bruising is still there, but the shock of the blow to her back is fading, just not, perhaps, as fast as he'd like. She's wheezing pretty good too, not shouting or yelling. LIttle shallow breaths.

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag nods. He reaches down and grabs her by the upper arm roughly, unless she states she resists. If he grabs her, he would lift her and toss her over his shoudler for a second time, well aware that her ribs might be broken and this would only make her situation worse, but he honestly, couldnt give a shit.

 

Sarraah Huntress stood tall and had a very distinct British accent, that would probably be all anyone could make out from her. SHe made an effort to look different during he trips away from the bunker out of uniform, though there can't be that many tall women. The vast majority of her other features were completely hidden. She watched the kids as they remained in their pose, quite standard for field executions

 

Rai Pawpad looks over his shoulder at the soldier covering them. "I'm gonna remember this, you know. Gonna remember who was on the side of the king."

 

Jaina Lefevre is easily lifted, crying out as the broken ribs grind and shift. She coughs once, eyes wide as the pain....is quite amazing. Blessed oblivion washes over her and she becomes limp and heavy against him, blood matting her hair and staining her clothes, the many little cuts and bruises making her look like a battlefield trophy.

 

Sarraah Huntress says coldly and calmly "You won't have to worry for much longer. There is a better world waiting for you."

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag walked out of the cell with teh girl, smirking. Next stop.. the execution hoods.

Reinhardt Stenvaag swings into the quartermasters room first....

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag looked into a box, with teh girl over one shoulder. He pulled out four heavy black hoods, smirking, and thent urned to go.

 

Jaina Lefevre is still out cold, not even aware.

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag throws Jaina into the dirt behind Kimani and Rai.. letting her post the description of what they see. He holds the four heavy black hoods in his hand, offering them to Sarraah

 

Sarraah Huntress points at the spot to Rai's right hand side and says calmly "Down there, next to the mouthy one. Strip them of their equipment ((Feel free to skip the RP of that bit)), bind their wrists and hood each one, Private"

 

Jaina Lefevre is unconscious, back of her head with the hair matted with blood, her arms covered in cuts and bruises, her face and legs...under the bloody shirt, she's bruised and scraped.

 

Sarraah Huntress lifts up the feed cover of her machine gun and checks the belt is in place and continues "They want to play kingdom, they will find out what the cost of espionage is. Prop the unconcious one up against the fence"

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag nods and moves over. Zipties for wrists, hoods for the head. He began with the already downed Jaina. Hands behind her back, zip. Hood, zip. And then literaly just tosses her to the ground where Sarraah indicated next to Rai against the fence. He moved to Rai "Dump the gear brat, hands behind your back." he barked from over the boy

 

Rai Pawpad swallows, hard and choky feeling in his throat. He looks down at Jaina, then back at the fence, letting his pack slip off his arms and trying to figure out how a prince is supposed to die. He opts for being quiet, and keepng his head down so the assbag can't see that he's crying.

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag tosses the boys gear to teh far wall and reaches for his wrists. Zip goes the tie, on goes the hood, unless he attempts to resist.

 

Jaina Lefevre is making this little wheezy sound when she breathes, but that's it, she's not moving.

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag looks at Pixis a a moment and then just reaches for her hands, trying to ziptie them. If sucessful, on woudl go the hood if she didnt fight hima ll along the way. He wasnt gonna order nothing from her. Damn stubborn machine.

 

Belldandy Ghost didnt have to resist on purpose, she just wasnt moving at all "Pixis is injured...stop touching Pixis! Assbag!" she ha hear Rai say that word n umerous times, so it seemed appropriate for the time being

 

Sarraah Huntress was taking a very stern stand at this point and barked out "Oi, robot, you will comply or you will recieve another round to your CPU, make that compute"

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag was unable to budge her arms.. so he jus tslides the hood over her head and ziped it shut. He figured if she wasnt moving to resist, she was likely not moving at all.

 

Belldandy Ghost shake her head slightly "Pixis does not like to be bound, Pixis can not comply........" was cut off y the hood suddeny going over her face "Error! Error!" she bean wailing again just like before

 

Kimani Silvercloud hears Pixis' cies and says again "Dont hurt her" angrily

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag moves to Kimani. She already had her hands ziptied. He just weant to pull the heavy black hood over her head, and if she didnt resist, he would zip it tight.

 

Kimani Silvercloud stops moving as a hood is put over her head and she shreiks

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag nods and steps back to the wall with Sarraah

 

Sarraah Huntress decided not to act on the AI, coming to the same conclusion as Rein. After he started on Kimani she shouted in a very commanding voice "This is your last chance ot make your peace with god. I suggest you take it, he will be waiting for you." She then paused and gave Rein a signal to hold fire even thoguh he wasn't doing anything. She just looked at the bound and bagged group, lined up in a very firing squad kind of fashion.

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag smirked to Sarraah and nodded. He clued in. He motioned to his pistol and mimed firing into the air

 

Rai Pawpad speaks up. "Hush, PIxi..." He tries to make his voice steady, but it's hard to breath in the hood, and his nose is stuffed. "Listen, you got to let em go. I'm the one you want... " He turns around awkwardly, "Please! Look, you can have my files!"

 

Sarraah Huntress held up her hand indicating rein to wait

 

Kimani Silvercloud begins to shake and cry

 

Jaina Lefevre whimpers softly, stirring a little. She moves a touch, then stops, feeling the ties, confused by the hood.

 

Sarraah Huntress made a point of liftig her weapons so that it bounced, the belt of bullets and metalic components shifting to make a metallic sound and she yelled "Aim weapon!"

 

Belldandy Ghost stops her wailing but still doesnt move any, her arm with the bullet lodged i it cradled by her other, she would remain quiet for the time being, wondering if all non hybrids were this cruel to things they didnt understand

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag silently drew his pistol, aiming it into the air but did nothing yet, waiting for a signal.

 

Jaina Lefevre starts to cry. "...momeee...Raaiiii...."

 

Sarraah Huntress lifted her hand infront of Rein, indicating three shots, after all, if he fired four, they would realise they hadn't been shot. She then yelled "Load!"

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag nods wordlessly, he had LITERALY just had the same thought himself.

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag gets an idea.. and removes his helmet from where it was slung on his belt. Held in one hand, his pistol aimed to the sky in teh other hand.

 

Sarraah Huntress paused another moment for effect, letting the moment linger to have the maximum mental traumic effect

 

Rai Pawpad shakes his head, hard, and turns, stepping blindly in the direction of the sounds. "No! No, don't! " He falls, landing on his knees. "I can help you! I got files on everyone! Let them go....I'll show you everythin! "

 

Jaina Lefevre is sobbing into the hood, hard to breathe....everything hurts...she's terrified...

 

Sarraah Huntress yells outloud at the top of her voice "Fire!"

 

Kimani Silvercloud her nose begins to run "Rai they aint gonna listen"

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag fires one shot into the air.. and then drops his helmet to thud into the ground.

 

Jaina Lefevre screams and instantly...wets her pants. Good thing River's not here to see this. She's just living down the last time she did that.

 

Belldandy Ghost looks in the direction she heard a thud, not sure who was shot but was worried it was Kimani since she was more attached to her than the others, but she still remained quiet

 

Sarraah Huntress yells a second time "Fire!" After the shot was fired, she would knock rai over onto his back, simulating a second thud

 

Kimani Silvercloud jumps at the shot hearin Jaina, so either Rai or Pixis "why!" she says through sobs saddened and

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag fires a second shot into the air as he reached down to grab his helmet, getting ready for the third thud.

 

Rai Pawpad winces, his ears absorbing the sound, he doesn't even try to cover them, just curls in on himself. Silent sobs shake him, and when the second shot fires, and he feels a kick to his chest he rolls with it, curling around himself.

 

Sarraah Huntress looks to Rein, makes a zipping motion across her lips and points at Kimani and makes her way to Jaina, Putting her hand firmly across about where her mouth was to keep her silent as she then yelled in quick succession "Fire!"

 

Jaina Lefevre is barely allowing herself to breathe, and when the hand presses down over her mouth, it blocks her nose. She writhes beneath the hand...and goes still again. Isn't going to take much to get her to go out again at this point, considering.

 

Belldandy Ghost known that she hadnt been shot yet since she would have felt pain and everyone could have heard the metal on metal sound. so to her it was down to Pixis and one other

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag nodded to Sarraah, moving forward towards the hooded Kimani. One arm moved around her hooded form, over where her mouth should be as he pulled her body back against his, holding her hooded and muffled now. He fired the third shot inot hte air, and dropped his hlemet for the third thud.

 

Kimani Silvercloud begins to shake uncontrolably thinking everyone else was gone she is sobbing at this point but it is muffled by the hood and Rein she begins to feel woozy from what is happening. she faints against Rein

 

Sarraah Huntress said very generally in a flat tone of voice "Was it worth it?" She gives time for a response, the comment mainly being aimed at Rai and yells a final "Fire!" Which of course would never come

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag silently reholsters his gun, and sets the hooded, passed out Kimani into the dirt silently, propping her against teh fence.

 

Belldandy Ghost whines and whimpers a little "Pixis is scared....Pixis doesnt want to die.....Pixis is a bad Guardian!" she mutters still unaware of who was shooting or got shot since she didnt hear anything from the kids anymore

 

Rai Pawpad gasps into the darkness of his hood, knowing that nothing is worth this. "Me." it's a ragged gasp. "kill me."

 

Sorinus Serevi had just come out of the bunker for his duty shift when the word fire rung out through the compound. he drew his gun and ran around the corner keeping his gun leveled and looking arround coldly. he relaxes a little when he sees no appearant threat "what did i just miss" he said scratching his head

 

Erika Eichel hears shots and heads outside, wondering what the hell is going on, weapon unslinged but finger off the trigger.

 

Sarraah Huntress let's go of Jaina and lets her drop where ever her body might rest and quietly steps back towards the wall behind herself, just watching. As the private completely spoiled the mood she turned back to Rein and nodded at him "Take the hoods off and free their wrists"

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag nods. He begins with Kimani.. execution hood removed, a quick slice from his combat knife to remove the zip tie. Then to Rai.. the same... Belldandy.. and finaly Jaina. She smelled of urine.. so he wasnt eager to go near her. BUT all were freed in quick order

 

Jaina Lefevre stays spilled on the ground, unconscious.

 

Kimani Silvercloud is still unconcious so she makes no sounds

 

Belldandy Ghost had her eyes closed as somehow, fear had managed to manifest itself into her, so she still got the feeling she was hooded even though she wasnt. But also wondered why she hadnt been shot yet.

 

Sarraah Huntress lifted up her goggles and watched the scene, two unconcious, they obviously gave them quiet a hefty fright and hopefully that would be enough to stop anymore vigilante invasions of the base as word should spread

 

Sorinus Serevi looks around again "ok now i am really confused" he said "i heard someone yell fire.

 

Erika Eichel chuckles a bit at what looks like a mock execution of kids. She just shakes her head and watches.

 

Sorinus Serevi shruggs and walks back into the bunker he really didn't want to know what was going on

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag looks over to Sorinus "We'll explain in a bit."

 

Rai Pawpad rolls over and looks from Kimani to Kim, to the marine. His pupils are huge, his eyes glassy. He grabs Jaina, and smells her, then pulls her over so he's cradling both she and Kim in his arms. He's stunned enough to sit, not crouch, ready to run, and traumatized enough that he doesn't say anything to the two Marines. He looks at them, though,

 

Sorinus Serevi turns around as the marine spoke "yeah tell me later i have to go on patrol. make it as messy as you want" he added "i hate kids"

 

Belldandy Ghost strange to her, she heard voicess, and immedietly thought 'So this is what humans call heaven. Why is it so dark "Pixis is confused...." She opened her eyes then looked seeing that they all were decently alright "Pixis is dead? And veryone else is too? Is this what umans call hell?"

 

Jaina Lefevre is still out, cradled against Rai. A shame, or she'd answer Pix and tell her that yeah..this is hell. But hellions rule hell and payback is a real bitch...

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag smirks, and barks and order to the kids "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE."

 

Kimani Silvercloud gets gathered up by Rai since she is uncouncious still

 

Sarraah Huntress pulled out a cigarette packet and offered Rein one, tkaing one for herself as she watched, she had half expected a tyrade of abuse.

 

Reinhardt Stenvaag waves Sarraah off "Still dont smoke."

 

Sarraah Huntress turns and looks up to Erika, offerig her pack up in an outstretched arm

 

Belldandy Ghost shaks her head slightly "Pixis can not until Subject//Peon//ASsbag fixes damage to Pixis' arm"

 

Rai Pawpad stands up. ""Com'n Pix, you ain't dead. We'll fix you. Can you help me carry Kim?"

 

Belldandy Ghost stands completely then looks to Kimani "Pixis can try....but Pixis has suffered arm injuries....."

 

Rai Pawpad lifts Jaina, and looks at them both, his eyes dark. "I'm not your friend ever again, Sarrah Officer. And you can tell Tip I an't working for her anymore, either."

 

Jaina Lefevre is limp and bloody in Rai's arms - poor guy.

 

Sarraah Huntress lit up her cigarette and took a drag, blowing smoke out in Rai's direction as he again decided it would be a good idea to address her

 

Belldandy Ghost: /moves over and with hr good arm picks up Kimani, at least her damaged arm is still usable

 

Kimani Silvercloud is lifted up by Pixis limply lying in her arms

 

Rai Pawpad calls, "Com'n Pixi."

 

A wonderful example of a rolls Royce Silver Cloud, near Inverness. 2010.

Muggles watches carefully readying himself then a idea comes to mind and he darts out the hospital while the others fight ," Help An Adult is kidnappin Ms. Deets daughter !!! Help " He yells as he hits the streets

 

Kimani Silvercloud is so pissed of she curses "you Ratbastard you ain gonna git her" since she is attatched to Tres she gets knocked onto the bed as well feeling pain on her back she lets out a sharp cry but does not let go she looks over to Jai hoping she isnt to badly hurt "dont take her she needs to stay here!"

 

Muggles busts thru the door," Help!!!"

 

Tres Asbrink just lands agisnt the bed letting out a off sound as the girl pushes into his body from the impact."Back the fuck off now.." He yells again as his eblows going flying aroundd to try and knock the childeren away from his body "Fucking ankle biters." he hopes his eblow will hit. His eyes scan the room and spot one of his guards the pda summoned"ABout fucking time you dip shit help me here."

 

Nellie Meads catches the back of Tres' collar and hangs on as his body tips. Her weight pulls the clothing around his neck and jams his throat. She hisses and growls, her tail fluffing up to 3 times normal size and she fixes her ears on Tres' right ear, gathering herself to launch for it.

 

Chameleon Blinker tracks Tres' movements carefully… gripping onto the sickle until her knuckles go white. She waits until she has a clear target and swings her weapon carefully, trying to get it right near his neck.

 

Rai Pawpad catches an elbow in the head, and lets go, hitting the floor hard on his butt. He scrabbles in his bag, pulling out a throwing star and heaving it at random. Then his hand closes on his cell phone.

 

Pyros Zenovka steps through the current as his eyes look through the small little war of th eankle bitters. He just shakes hi head thinking of what his boss got himself into now. He brings up the deadly gun and just points it at the sycthe blade."Everyone fucking on the ground." he then pulls the trigger frieing a single round at the blade hopeing to shatter it or just knock it off the deriction of the bosses neck.

 

ATMLADY Alcott: "whats happening?"

 

Jaerik Draken followed Muggles after hearing the news, rushing through the double doors of the hospital entrance and towards the back. Hand resting on the sword handle slung across his back.

Jaerik Draken: Vel'bol's ho'tuc ghil?

 

Elise Capalini follows Eamon toward the med center, eyebrow raised. "Cale and Capalini," she mutters and drops her hand to her gun as they enter. This...was going to be bad...

 

Tres Asbrink just hears the sound of the high powered rilfe he just holds on and trys and through himself to the side still holding onto the girl hopeing to roll and knock the other kiddys off of him"Get off of me you little shits." he yells feeling the other neko on his back grabing for his ear feeling the lower part of it beening toren away from its place.. He just lets out a hiss his body curling as he trys the roll move.

 

Kain Redmond made his way in following right behind Father eamon as he drew put his 50 Cal holding it close beside him his raggedy cloak hides the sliver portion of it, he looks about the room trying to figure out whats going on.

 

Nellie Meads: Tres has tried to grab Jaina, Nellie is hanging off his collar in the back, Kimanis is getting him from the side and Rai is down lower at the legs.

 

Nellie Meads: Tres is off balance, Cham's sickle made a bunt to the neck, and we had a shot fired, but we don't know where it came from.

 

Jaina Lefevre rolls with Tres, clawing at his hair and face as best she can. She lands on the floor with him and there's a faint yelping sound and she wheezes suddenly, eyes going wide as she stares at him. "H...hurts..." The kid has broken ribs and is being rolled around like a cuban cigar.

 

Kimani Silvercloud gets hit in the eye with his elbow but holds on as if her life depended on it "You is not getting away with her She is my Friend" she shreiks this hoping that it hurts his ears she continues to blindly bte at his arms and grips it tight with her claws she does not heed pyros' warning

 

Nellie Meads bends her elbows and hikes herself high enough to bite on Tres' right ear, She feels the cartilege between her teeth and begins to yowl through her clenched jaw. "RRrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooowwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

Chameleon Blinker twitches as she hears the gun fire. It ricochets off her scythe, nearly ripping the weapon out of her hands. The bullet dives towards her shoulder, burrying itself in her upper arm. The wound was very painful, causing her to sway a bit, yet not horrible enough to keep her from trying to defend the children. She tries to hook Tres' shirt with the blade, in an attempt to lift him off the kids.

 

Rai Pawpad keeps stabbing numbers into his cell phone, then growls and hurls it at the man's head.

 

Pyros Zenovka brings up the high tech rilfe and begins looking through the group picking a new tagert to fire on but all he saw where kids and the neko and the sycthe. So the sycthe girl was the most hostile tagert in his mind. The barrel of the rilfe lowers down amining for her leg a glazing round. He didn;t want to kill her or even do much damage as he really doens;t like his boss that much, He yells out again"Down on the ground UAC.." his voice is muffled by the mask. Of course if she did anything else then stop he would pull that trigger and go for the glazing shot.

 

Fern Sabre hears voices and finds the kid, saying in a low voice "where are they?"

 

ATMLADY Alcott: "jaina, you will be fine. I certainly wont let anyone harm you or any of the children"

 

Muggles whispers," In there!" He points to the crowded room, wondering if she was deaf.

 

Zoe Baran pushes open the large doors of the medical center and sniffs the air while eyeing the crowd.

 

Fern Sabre brushed aside the curtained door and peeks in

 

Kain Redmond growls as he looks about the situation muttering fuck under his breath he hears th UAC soldiers voice but can't identify the location as he looks out to the door leading to the streets he speaks into his comm,"Redmond enroute!!"

 

Jaerik Draken lifts his blade from his back and quickly scans the commotion, until his eyes fell on where the voice was coming from, telling people to get down. And with a slide of his feet, he launched himself forward towards the doorway, swinging the blade in an upward arc, trying to slice the rifle along the barrel, if it wouldnt cut through, it could atleast aim it high. "Tchh!"

 

Rai Pawpad lifts his head, sniffing the air. "Mom? Mom!" He doesn't want to get up from where his claws are still tangled in the big bastard's pants.

 

Eamon Cale walks into a madhouse. Screams and scuffles and what appears to be a dogpile of children on... fecking hell, Dr. Asbrink. It's the sudden gunshot from behind the curtain--and the subsequent shout of 'UAC' that gets his attention. There's no clear shot at the lad--someone else is leaping forward, a damned blade in hand--so he turns toward the children and wades in, reaching for anyone he can grab to heave them off Tres and the lass trapped beneath him. "Get the fuck off," he snarls. "Jaina!"

 

Elise Capalini doesn't draw her gun, not meaning to open fire in this small a space with that many kids on Tres. She doesn't trust her aim that much--not on an empty stomach at least. She turns to the women who enter and shakes her head at them. "No--back, the last thing this place needs is spectators." Or targets. She would attempt to nudge Fern and Zoe back through the curtained doorway as Eamon moves into the fray again.

 

Fern Sabre looks for the kid who dragged her in here and mutters under her breath something about kids needing to be in bed, or in cages...She nods to Elise only happy to escape this funfilled hell hole.

 

Zoe Baran knew that Elise was trying to help the situation, but she couldn't leave. Not now. She shakes her head to the fellow cat, "No can do, my son's in there." Her ears were flexed after hearing his call and her attention then drawn to him. "Rai!" She called back, then went up against the wall to see if there was some way to get his butt out of here. ((Thanks everyone :D))

 

Tres Asbrink just grunts as he struggles on the ground with the childeren all biteing on his very nice suit. His ars stil wraped around the girl giveing her one them crushing bear hugs to keep her in place"Back the fuck offall o you.. Or I will take us all out." he sound of a pin can be heard as it lands aginst the floor. His vast had a nice amount of geranes oon it and him beening a clone well.

 

Jaina Lefevre wheezes and struggles, then gasps out "...no...boom...no booom..." Her gaze looks past Tres to Father Eamon, terror written on her face. Every bad dream and nightmare she's had in her almost six years, just got rolled into one day.

 

Kimani Silvercloud her one eye swollen shut she looks at tres angrrily growling "If you hurt her, then I get hurt too" she is so stubborn that it is probably bad for her health

 

Nellie Meads feels large hands on her from behind, and she can't turn her head to see who it is because her teeth are meeting in Tres' ear. She realizes she is going to be torn away, so she reashes over Tres shoulder with a hand on either side. The left hand misses, but her right hand closes over a grenade, and she takes it with her as she curls for a roll, already wincing in her mind at the hard tiles.

 

Chameleon Blinker cranes her neck over at Pyros, narrowing her bloodshot eye. "If you shoot and I fall, I'll slice through his chest… " her words are cut short as she sees the little girl dive for a grenade. "K…kid… throw that as far away as you can!" She would grab it away from her, but feared she wouldn't be fast enough.

 

Rai Pawpad fixes his eyes on the man's and lets go of his pants. He scuttles back slowly. "Now that's just stupid, What you're doing. You know it is. Put the Princess down, And leave, okay?"

 

Pyros Zenovka just shakes his head for a moment at what the neko had to say he was about to fire the round off but the spots the guy with the sowrd comeing at him. He quickly moves truning and fireing a round at his center mass as the blade goes through the barrel of the gun. Of course his gun was a special one that the uac was trying out on the city. Small compact rail gun nothing powerful but enough to cuase some major prombels to his armor. He justshakes his head at the sound of the pin drop

 

ATMLADY Alcott: "puts her arm around the girls, no one is hurting these children or taking them anywhere"

 

Jaerik Draken grunted as the rifle went off into his mid-section, sparks of fibre explode into the air along with blood flecks. He could tell it'd leave a mark, but for the most part the armor took the shot relatively well. He turned his body and swung his elbow into Pyro's ribs. He wasnt aiming to break bones, but rather to exert enough force to push the man around the corner and out of sight of the crowd. No targets seen = no targets shot. Except for him of course.

 

At Ponta Delgada

Kimani Silvercloud walks into the hospital alone- Rai had stuff to do elsewhere- and she looks at portia, worried

 

Portia Kass laid the girl out on the nearest table she could find. Funny how any time she'd ever been to the hospital she'd never bothered with any of that silly checking in, filling out paper work business. Once Jaina was safely laid down she stepped back and called out into the space, which always seemed far too empty for her liking. "Hello??! We have some injured children!" she was unable to keep the touch of panic from her voice. She was back at Jaina's side and taking her little hand gently into her own a moment later. "Don't worry sweetheart. you're going to be fine, just rest, okay? Don't talk now."

 

Jaina Lefevre curls her fingers around Portia's. "...Youaysee...bad man...kicked me and throwed me on the wall..." she closes her eyes a moment and whispers. "Momma's gonna be mad...sell me..."

 

Darkness Odigaunt follows shortly, she moves past all of the NPCs doing whatever NPCs do, they had long stopped trying to halt her anyway and heads straight for the table, "Has anyone checked her over already?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud stays back

 

Portia Kass shook her head at the Sister and looked down at Jaina. She bent over to get close to her and whispered, "No one's going to be mad, shhhh honey, don't talk now okay? You can tell us later, just rest now." Her eyes moved over the poor thing's broken face and she had to fight back tears. Her lips pressed gently against the girl's forehead and then she backed away as an NPC nurse rushed in and laid a sheet over Jaina and then began cutting off her clothes. She took a few steps back and then turned to the other girl, eyeing her legs. "Why don't you have a seat on that table too, sweetheart," she said.

 

Chameleon Blinker sighs, keeping her weapon level with the woman. "Because I have a big blade. Now beat it."

 

Kimani Silvercloud shakes her head "no, my legs are fine, they are healing, from something that happened earlier, I want to stay with Jai, I'm not moving"

 

Jaina Lefevre's face is bruised but not broken. Her ribs are broken....back of her head is a bit squishy....she bit her tongue and one ear is bleeding...lots of little cuts and some serious bruises...

 

Darkness Odigaunt lingered by the table as the trained staff took over, she swallowed and backed away after a moment, then turned her attention to Kimani, "Sweetie, sit down, do you feel like telling us what happened?"

 

Jaina Lefevre whispers. "Wanna bally-reena...I lookeded it up...online...."

 

Portia Kass watched as the medical staff went to work doing what they did, assessing the damage to the poor thing. She watched a few moments longer and began to turn towards the other girl to get information, more clarification about the snippets of horror Jaina had whispered to her, but the girl's feeble words pulled her back. She took up Jaina's hand again, which now had a little iv needle poking out of it and leaned in closer. "What was that sweetheart?" she asked. May as well make it easy for the girl to talk if she wasn't actually going to keep quiet.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "well I went to the park and I saw Rai on the slide, an' he told me that they had Jai, so we were gonna rescue her" she takes a breath "we were gonna find more kids, but we didnt wanna waste time, so we went around the building, when Pixis found me, by following my scent" she shivers continuing on "Pixis was opening the fence for us when the big man cam out and threw something that made me not be able to see or hear" she pauses waiting a second to continue

 

Darkness Odigaunt motions her onto the table, "Flashbang, I bet. Sit, hunny, even if your legs are okay." She nods, "What happened then?" She glanced around for a tray of examination tools.

 

Jaina Lefevre looks up at Portia and whispers. "Wanna bally-reena. Sh..show me...sometimes?" She cries out as the med crew shifts her, the broken ribs hurting more than anything.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "then I was tied up, and he, or the lady shot Pixis, I couldnt see who did it. then the man was told to get Jai, and the 'secution hoods" she rubs her arms and sits "they lined us up and shot three times, and I heard thuds so I though everyone was dead, then I fainted"

 

Chameleon Blinker sighs and stares skyward. Why were people so difficult? She sets her sickle beside her, leaning against it wearily.

 

Chameleon Blinker looks over at Lithia questioningly.

 

Portia Kass's lower lip trembled ass he nodded at the child. "Yes sweetheart, I'll show you sometime. Just be a good girl and rest now okay?" Portia kissed the back of her hand and looked up at the doctor who was telling her that the girl probably had some broken rids and they needed to take her to x-ray to be sure of things. A nurse was coming in to make Jaina drink some sherbet-flavored liquid, explaining that it would coat her insides so that they could take pictures of it, make sure there wasn't any internal bleeding. She listened to the other girl's story, catching about half of it since she was trying to listen to the nurses and everything else as well. More than anything else... she felt overwhelming anger filling her up. Anger at what had happened and anger at how powerless she felt to stop it.

 

Chameleon Blinker nods back, looking relaxed and unconfrontational. The woman seemed unthreatening so far.

 

Persephone Ducatillon slips in the back door and barely manages to stifle her giggle. "Good guardian...stupid guardian....guard the front door" she'd whisper very softly. True, she intended only the most harmless of mischeif, but making one of them look so foolish always was a good deal of fun!

 

Darkness Odigaunt's hands clenched, long nails digging through the skin, the only clue, other than her eyes that showed how upset she was, "You fainted? What else happened?" she asked calmly, locating an ear flashlight.

 

Chameleon Blinker rubs the back of her neck. "She wanted to get in… snoopy… she's probably tried the back way. Why?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud says loud enough so Jaina can hear her "I'm still hear, okay, and your gonna be fixed up like new" she then looks at the sister "I remember waking up in Pixis's arms, by the park, then we walked down toward the hospittle and saw you all" she shakes her head cursing herself for fainting "I wish I could help more

 

Jaina Lefevre drinks the icky stuff and gets the pictures taken and gets something for the pain. She is drowsy, but still able to talk a little. They stitch up the back of her head and bandage the spot. Good thing she's got so much hair, the little shaved bit won't show if she keeps her hair over it. Drops are put in her damaged ear and the multiple tiny cuts are cleaned and skin-glued.

 

Darkness Odigaunt reaches out to lift her head, spying the ear drops and motioning for them, "I see... You did well, Kimani." her voice lowers, just for her, "I'm proud of you and Rai, trying to help. I wish you would call for help though."

 

Chameleon Blinker lowers her ears a bit. "Ashagi…eh?" She takes a step forward. "You work for them?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud "I woulda called but I don' have a phone"

 

Portia Kass's attention was fully focused on the girl's story now and Portia was offering her a kind smile. "You helped plenty. Jaina's going to be just fine.... And we're going to find the men that did this to you all," she said with a hint of a growl in what would otherwise be her usual, sweet, talking-to-a-child tone. This was going too far, even for Portia. What kind of monster would do that to a child? You-aye-see didn't spell bad... it spelled TERRIBLE. "Are you sure you're all right? And the others?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud "It wasnt just a guy, It was this lady to, she told him to get the hoods and she is the one who told him to fire"

 

Persephone Ducatillon finished her little trick and slipped through the curtain with a naughty little girl smile on her lips and a soft giggle simply standing and watching, her pale green eyes nearly glowing with mirth.

 

Darkness Odigaunt reached out for Portia's arm, then moved past her, "Kimani? I'm going to put something in your ears, just in case, okay?"

 

Portia Kass frowned even more at that. "Did you hear anyone's names? Or see what anyone looked like?" she asked. "What were you doing near the bunker anyway??" Her tone was quizzical, not at all accusatory. The poor things were shaken enough as it was, she didn't want them feeling like they were in trouble too. She backed out of the way so that the Sister could pass.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "Okay" she trusts the sister

 

Chameleon Blinker sighs, indeed the woman was where she figured. She points to Persephone. "You…out."

 

Darkness Odigaunt uncapped the bottle and squeezed a few drops in each ear, this wasn't the first time she'd done this. "A woman, do you know a german accent?"

 

Persephone Ducatillon smiles "It's a public place, why can't I be here?" she asks in a very harsh bronx accent

 

Jaina Lefevre is pretty miserable as they wrap her ribs. She lies back at last, under the little blanket and looks over at Portia and Kim. "Huntress..." she whispers. "Her tag said Huntress. His wasn't on his shirt."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "german? whats that?"

 

Portia Kass ducked back down to Jaina, hearing the feeble little whisper as if it had flicked a trigger in her brain. "Huntress?" she asked and looked back over her shoulder at D to see if that rang any bells for her. All was silent in Portia's head. "Was it just two of them?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud "yeah only two"

 

Darkness Odigaunt glances over, huntress? "German... well, what did she sound like?" Sounded like Gruber either way. She shrugged to Portia, "A name or a title, you think?" She hears the people behind them, but doesn't want to look yet.

 

Jaina Lefevre looks over at Kimi and holds out her hand to touch fingertips. "Not Germmy-min. She tol' him to not beat me up 'cause of my Mommy. So he shotted me with big ball bearings and a sling shots...then wanted me t'put on a grey thing. I said no and he beated me up. I bit his hand. Hard."

 

Chameleon Blinker keeps her tone low, trying not to disturb the patients and friends. "Because…it's impolite to watch…you're not impolite, are you?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud "she sounded normal" but of course Kimi didnt really know accents she touches Jai's hand to

 

Persephone Ducatillon grinned impishly and mimed chewing on a huge wad of gum "Yeah, all da time!" she replied cheekily

 

Darkness Odigaunt murrmers, "Huntress... and a man with a bit hand. We'll have to watch for them. Anything else about the man? Did he have black hair and scars on his face? Or maybe kinda fat and bald?"

 

Portia Kass shrugged at the Sister. "Probably a title... or else some kind of nickname." Her head whipped back to Jaina and she listened closely to every word. "So the lady said not to hurt you.... but the man did anyway?" She ground her teeth as Jaina described more of what had gone on. WHO would do that?? Whoever he was, that asshole was going down. "Good for you sweetie," she told Jaina in response to the bite comment, a hint of pride in her tone. Of course in normal circumstances Portia wouldn't have encouraged the girl but.. these were FAR from normal circumstances and at least she did what she could.

 

Chameleon Blinker continues to stare. She had made a quick costume change, but the rabbit was fairly certain this was the same woman as before. "Please leave miss, this isn't a movie theater."

 

Kimani Silvercloud hears Jai angering herself at what she hears

 

In addition to purchasing the conventional Silver Cloud, a selection of differing body types could be built to order by way of coachbuilders as this was the last Rolls Royce car for the mass-market to be produced with a separate chassis.

 

This particular one is the product of Freestone & Webb, one of only two cars ever built. The styling is similar to that of Hoopers, with the long sweeping body and vertical headlight clusters. Going for the princely sum of £65,000, this car features picnic tables, a division between the driver and passenger sections, and all the other accompaniments that such a massive luxury machine can conjure up. I'd recommend though not considering this car for everyday use, as at a length of 23 feet, it's not going to fit into the average parking space!

Designed by J. P. Blatchley the Silver Cloud, was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation the Bentley S1 is very similar, apart from its radiator grille.

The chassis was a simple steel box section, welded together and very rigid. Construction retained the traditional split between chassis and body, allowing the facility for specialised body builders though the overwhelmiing majhority came with the standard body by Pressed Steel employing light weight aluminium based alloy for the doors, bonnet and boot.

The engine was a 155 hp / 4000 rpm 4.9 L six-cylinder unit with inlet over exhaust valves: twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957. The standard transmission was a four-speed automatic. Brakes were hydraulic and assisted by the Rolls-Royce mechanical servo with 11 in drums and suspension was independent coils at the front and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Twin brake master cylinders were incorporated from April 1956.

 

The Silver Cloud 1 was replaced during 1959 by the Silver Cloud II simular in appearance but updated with a 6230cc V8 OHV engine, power steering and four-speed Hydramatic transmission

I went with a buddy to the "Night of 1000 Andys" party at Artisphere that was showing Warhol's "Silver Clouds" exhibit. Costumes were encouraged, so he dressed as Lou Reed, and I went as the banana from The Velvet Underground & Nico album cover. (Fortunately, most people there got the joke!)

9-11-12

Tres Asbrink just looks up at the with a smile as he looks of the photos"Just here to get a few things nothing much." he lets out a small laugh as he slides the pda back into the belt and then sighs as he hears the little scream for the childen to run off."DOn;t go i have candy for everyone."

 

Muggles almost does run but goes to grab Jaina instead," C'mon then !"

 

Jaina Lefevre yells "He's got pictures of me from the cage! HE"S YOUAYSEE!"

 

Jaina Lefevre can't run, her legs feel like they're asleep and she's bruised from tailbone to skull. Painkillers, muscle relaxants...she's lucky she's coherent.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "We don want your candy!" she does not trust him, she would swing out to kick him, but that might cause them all to get shot

 

Nellie Meads pulls our her phone, and starts taking a video.

 

Tres Asbrink just sighs and lets out a small grunt from the girls kick"Childeren lets all be good and sit down." he gives them all sage nod"I can tell you all a story about what happens to bad little girls and boys." he does reach into his pocket and pulls out some candy for them all if they want it.

 

Muggles comes back in seeing that the uac guy didn't pull out a gun or anything

 

River Grau slips his phoe out from his pocket, scrambling to search for a number.. any number. He just yells, "DO NOT FUCKIN' HIT UAC." He was pissed. "What do you want, Mister?"r

 

Nellie Meads: "Um, Miss Leor is coming, with a photographer. I'm just taking these 'til she gets here."

 

Jaina Lefevre is whimpering, tears running down her face. She can't stand up. "Go, please...run 'way. Don't want you cap-turd too..."

 

River Grau had enough comfortation with th UAC to know hiting them is just asking to get beat up.

 

Nellie Meads's phone rings

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at Jai "I dont care, If you get captured then so am I, I dont leave my family, especially when they are in trouble" Kim sees all of the kids as her family

 

Tres Asbrink just shurgs as he slides the candy back into his pocket and would have let out a grunt is he was kicked by the small girl"Yes just run away i'm here to talk to the child and i will go."

 

Muggles looks at Jaina upset and at the adult's atitude ," Sir can I ask ya a question though?"

 

Nellie Meads holds her phone closer, and makes sure the sound is adjusted properly.

 

Muggles looks up as politely as he can

 

Jaina Lefevre whispers. "Go t'hell. I ain't talkin to anyone. My Mommy is gonna be real mad when she finds out."

 

River Grau sent a text out. He didn't run though and stayed where he was..

 

Tres Asbrink just leans in at the girl"Why you think i'm doing this." he gives her a big smile and then truns to the other child"What is your question i don;t have much time?"

 

Muggles continues," If I shoot you will it hurt any less then if anonther adult shoots ya?" He backs up not really careing who this guy was pointing his gun back at him

 

Muggles adds "I'm just a little curious."

 

Jaina Lefevre leans back away from Tres. "Said go t'hell. Drop dead. Not talkin' to you."

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods "you heard her, leave NOW" she says now very firmly

 

Muggles: I just wondering .. And tired of you scaring my friends

 

Tres Asbrink just titls his head at the boy"A bullet is a bullet there all the same. But if you do shoot me." he looks at the gun"Iyou miss or i still stand then i will kill you and al your freinds." he gives him a wide smile"I'm an evil asshole its what i do..." he looks back up to the girl"Now then child its time for school lessions."he holds out his hand"So best come with me or yours freinds... Not very good outcome for them."

 

Nellie Meads rolls her eyes. "I cannot believe this guy is negociating with a six year old, like it's binding or anything. Her mom must be somthing."

 

Kimani Silvercloud is getting really pissed off "Dude, are you deaf, I said leave NOW!!!"

 

Chameleon Blinker creeps up slowly, eye locked on Tres. She readies her sickle at her front. She tries to bring it level with the man's head, hissing. "Out…"

 

Muggles watches the Adult," Bullet in the head .. You won't be around I don't think to care Im thinknig"

 

Jaina Lefevre looks at Tres. "You hurt anyone here and you is gonna be sorrier than sorry. I'm short, not stupid. I am NOT goin' with you." She draws a breath and screams "NURSE WENDY! DOCTORS! GET THIS PERV OUTTA HERE! HE'S TRYIN' TO HURT ME!"

 

River Grau clasps his hands behind his back, "No offense, but if you kill me and Jaina, you'll probably get hurt by both our parents. I don't think you care much 'bout 'em other orphans, but if yah hurt us you'll be sorry. You're probably gonna be sorry 'cause your friends hurt Jaina already."

 

Nellie Meads looks at the sickle. "Reinforcements, cool. "

 

Muggles speaks between clenched teeth," Im a orphan with a gun aimmed at his greasy head " Muggles knows River is helping but still that guy *burns* him ((lol))

 

Nellie Meads holds her phone over closer so the picture is clearer.

 

River Grau knows how difficult it is for a child to shot a gun as he has shot one before.. Doesn't exactly trust Muggles with the gun to the guy's head. Doubt the kid could shoot. He just calmly watches theman. "My Daddy is from the Hounds. And lotsa people are scared of him. My Uncle is scary too.." Although his uncle might be happy if he died, the boy didn't add that.

 

Nellie Meads: "Is Miss Leor here yet? I'm almost out of memory, but I got the part where he tries to take her."

 

Tres Asbrink just shakes his head as he hears what the girl has to say to his rather nice offer. He moves steping forward then stops as he hears the words get out and the sound of omething comeing from behidne. He just lunges for the small girl on the bed just missing the blade comeing at the back of his head but feels it cut away some of his smecy hair."Come on with me." he yells out as his hands try to reach out to grab a hold of the child and use her as a sheild thing.

 

River Grau is between the man and Tres, so just dives to try and pounce on top of Jaina.. getting in the way of her being grabbed hold of if possible.

 

Kimani Silvercloud still has her hand on jai's and swings her feat at Tres "NO YOU AIN'TAKIN HER" she goes to scratch at his hands hoping she draws blood

 

Rai Pawpad snarls and launches himself at the man's legs, his claws extended and slashing. "You leave her alone, you motherfucking assbag son of a bitch!"

 

Jaina Lefevre screams as he grabs her, not exactly in any condition to really dodge. God/damn/ but this just is NOT her day!

 

Nellie Meads snaps the phone off, drops into tiger stance, and launches herself onto his shoulder from behind.

 

Muggles blinks at the sudden movement and stops not wanting to shoot the wrong person.. He puts the gun in his pocket," Don't let him out!!"

 

Chameleon Blinker snorts and raises the scythe above his head, bringing the blunt end down swiftly in an attempt to strike his head.

 

Rai Pawpad snarls his claws up in the man's clothing, but finds his head at the perfect level to slam directly at his groin.

 

Tres Asbrink just moves in to grab at the small child rushing forward pushing into the child in front of him letting out a grunt as he feels the clas tear into the armor that he wears under his suit. His hands just reach hopeing to grab hold of the child his other hand moveing down to the pda at his belt pressing a small button on it as he struggles with the child. His body moveing more and mover away fromt he creature with the sycth. He hopes if he can grab onto her he would have his sheild to to keep them others at bay.

 

Jaina Lefevre flattens herself against the table, grabbing at the metal frame and screaming at the top of her lungs. "HELP! HELP! A PERV IS TRYIN' TO STEAL ME! HELP!" She can feel Tres's hands grabbing her already battered body and her fingers are slipping on the metal. One good tug and she's in his arms, lifted from the table and fighting tooth and nail. She's going to bite whatever is near.

 

River Grau is between Tres and the gurney, knowing that at this point he can't do much because of the much taller man. His eyes flick to the PDA at the mans waist and after some button is pressed, he would try to reach a hand out in an attempt to yank it away and steal it. He would also be searching the man to see if he could find any dog tags, knowing his name would be there and a lot of those UAC people wear them.

 

Muggles Sprints for the door whiler the others tussle," Guard the door!!" Muggles reaches into his boot thinking a dagger is beeter for this

 

Kimani Silvercloud knows Jai is injured but she jumps from the table trying to latch onto some body part, hopefull his arm to get it to let go of Jai. If she gets his arm she bites down hard

 

Nellie Meads's ballet and akido lessons sure come in handy. Reminded that the heros in Chinese operas are always played by gymnastic actresses, Nellie has sprung for his shoulder. No being so very well fed as an opera actress, she hits and starts to slide down the middle of Tres' back, grabbing for the eyes and nose on his face.

 

Chameleon Blinker tenses her muscles, moving into a comabative stance. If this were any other situation it may be amusing, seeing all the kids tackling the man. However, this was dire, she would fight tooth and nail to keep the man from abducting the injured child. She growls and swings the blunt end of the scythe at his legs, behind the knees, careful to avoid any children nearby.

 

Rai Pawpad hangs back for a second, dazed as his head hits something hard. He's still attached to the front of the man, though, and he scrambles up his legs, snarling and scratching, to pull on his arms, "Let her go, you motherbastardfucker!"

 

Tres Asbrink just grunts as he now feels the littles start to bite on his body"Dam you fuckers." he just grunts as he feels some of the bites hit the under armor the others not. He stumbles around for a moment as he feels the one child jump on his back and pull on his shirt and hair. But he still holds onto the prize one he wants his large hands crushing down onto her small frame holding her tight as he pulls her close"Get off me or i will kill her.." he screams out as he pulls her into his body something he could do then again he does have other toys he can use. He stumbles forward as he feels the sycthe hit his legs causeing him to fall into the bed of course his sheild is in front as well.

 

River Grau has the PDA, whoo! He would quickly dive under the gurney as the other children bombard the man, quickly scanning it to look at the contact list or any information saying the guy's name.. If he's able to get away, as he would be running towards a door at this point to find help, he would even be searching to see if there were pictures later or any other private information.

 

Jaina Lefevre is landed on and her eyes go wide. She makes a wheezing yelping sound and claws at his face and hair, trying to get him up so she can breathe.

River Grau runs inside, zigzagging through the adults as he tries to get to Jaina. Some sort of baked good wrapped in clear plastic tied with a bow was closely held to his chest. Skidding to a stop, he looked over to where his friend was, eyes trying to figure out what was wrong with her if he could. “What happened!? What happened!?!?”

 

Chameleon Blinker puts a hand on River's shoulder. "Calm down, it's okay, everyone's okay."

 

Jaina Lefevre watches Sister. "Bye Sister." She looks up at River as he comes running. "Youaysee." she says. "Rai and Kimi saveded me."

 

Koami Silvercloud opens and closes the back door of the clinic as quietly as she can and nods to the other lady in the room before going towards the other room, looking worriedly over to her sister.

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at river silently and nods at Jai's statement exausted from retelllimhg what happened, and from the events of the day

 

River Grau looks up at Sid as the hand in placed on his shoulder. He frowned as he heard UAC iwas who did this... "What was the person's name, Jaina? The one that hurt you, do you know it?" He wasn't sure what to do with the pastry in his hands and just stared down at it.

 

Darkness Odigaunt reached out her arms, then dropped them, utterly defeated. She turned to the door, "Proud of how well you did.... Love you both." She moved out the door, almost at a run.

 

Kimani Silvercloud waves to the sister

 

Koami Silvercloud takes a few more steps before grinning widely towards Kimi and skipping the rest of the way over, "I've been lookin' for ya all day. Go figure yer in here again."

 

Jaina Lefevre sighs. "Dunno, Rivers. He was big. Whatcha gots?" She isn't moving much, covered with bandages and scratches. She glances at Koa and then back to River.

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at her sister "I aint hurt, I promise!"

 

River Grau reaches out to place the pastry next to Jaina on her bed. "It's a tart. It gots fruit and stuff, no sugar. In a pie thingie. It's for you.. It even gots a blue bow 'cause you wear blue a lot." He tilted his head to the side, "What color hair he got? Did what hair cut?"

 

Chameleon Blinker pats River on the shoulder again. "Well, kids, I'll leave you be now if you'd like. River, you got my number?"

 

Koami Silvercloud loses her smile as she sees Jaina and gives a small polites curtsey, then turns and curtseys to the other two people in the room. Koa then glares at her sister, "Cha, other people are hurt though, you could've been hurt!"

 

River Grau shakes his head at Sid, or Denny, or whatever he has been calling her. "No.. I never got it." He pulled out his phone from his pocket to program it in.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "but I wasnt luckily, I helped" she is too tire to argue

 

Jaina Lefevre smiles at the tart. "Tha's really neat, River!" She reaches out and touches the tart, awed by the gift. "Thanks youse." She looks up at Cham and waggles the dolly at her, then tucks it back under her chin.

 

Chameleon Blinker gives River her number, and looks up to wave at Jaina. "Take care kids, just call if you need help."

 

River Grau programs the number into his phone and nods to Denny, "Yeah, thanks. See yah later.."

 

Koami Silvercloud leans over Kimi's chair worriedly and looks over her carefully again before giving a slow nod, "Okay..." She waves to Cham then puts a hand on Kimi's shoulder protectivly, "Ya need anything then? I ain't seen you all day."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "no I don' need anything" she replies rubbing her eyes

 

Jaina Lefevre watches her and then looks to River. "They tried t'kill us. Me 'n Kimi and Rai. But they got them t'let me out." She is tired and hurting and waiting for Mom to log on...

 

Koami Silvercloud wiggles back and forth before nodding again, "Okay." Her ears then perked up as she listens to what Jaina is saying,

 

River Grau 's attention turns back Jaina, "They say why they did that? The UAC..? I.. I dunno... who to ask 'bout that."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "yeah, they scared us, and were really mean to Jai, cause they hurt her"

 

Jaina Lefevre mumbles. "Mommy's gonna fix them." She smiles at the tart. "What kindsa fruit is it, River? You made this your ownself?"

 

River Grau frowns, "Did it happen at the UAC place..? Or.. Or someplace else?"

 

River Grau nods to Jaina, "Aunt Saki helped me by tellin' me what to do. It gots kiwi, oranges, grapes, strawberries.." It was a rather large tart.

 

Jaina Lefevre sighs. "S'all my fault, even though Miss Portia and Sister D said wasn't. He was helpin' me with my aim and was bein' nice...but then he said I hadta join the Youaysee and I said I was gonna be like my Mommy, a Major..and he said mean things about hers so I shotted him with a ball bearing and it hitted his armor. He got mad and pulled out his gun when I was gonna shot the other targets again and he shot the gun at me and I let the balls go by accident 'cause I got scared and I ran. He said I shot a claymore mines at him but it was jus' ball bear-rings and I ran and Rai ran and he did a big boom thing..and couldn't see..and hear...and it got dark and then he throwed me in a cage and..." she's out of breath.

 

River Grau paused. So it was someone in armour? That still didn't help much. He just listened closely and nodded, trying to get more clues of who it could be. Not that he knew many UAC..

 

Jaina Lefevre smiles at the tart. "I'm gonna eats it when I can sits up, okay River? It looks nummy." She closes her eyes and shivers a little. "Don't wanna close my eyes. I keep hearin' the shots." She looks at Kimi. "You too?"

 

Koami Silvercloud grits her teeth as she hears the story of what happened today and kept ahold of her sister's shoulder. Glaring dangerously at the wall since there was nobody to truely be mad at, she tapped her foot impatiently on the floor, "Ya gotta have like, a discription of the person who did all this? One of you must..."

 

River Grau nodded to Kaomi, "Yeah, do you know what he looked like, Kim? What hair, what face, etc?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud "yeah, I don' wanna sleep, I am gonna think I am getting killed again even though it is fake killed, he had like caremel skin, and dark hair, and he was being told what to do"

 

Jaina Lefevre whispers. "He had big boots and he laughed when I smushed on the wall."

 

Muggles busts thru the door looking for something * finds her*. " Jaina!! Its all over the street.. what happened??" Eyes River " What are U doing here??"

 

Jaina Lefevre looks at Mugs. "River is Tengu, and he's my friend. Be. Nice. I gots a lotta aches so don't wanna be mad too."

 

River Grau rolls his eyes at Muggles, "Whatcha think I'm doin' hear?" He nodded at what Jaina said, quickly looking away and to the other children.

 

Koami Silvercloud cutseys to the new person who walks in then chews on her lip for a moment, trying to put together a pciture in her head, "And he was in UAC so he had a uniform? Was he tall too? Or short?"

 

Jaina Lefevre sighs. "I'm short so's everyone is tall."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "big and tall" she replies spotting Pixis

 

Belldandy Ghost doesnt speak or anything, just stays put outside the curtain, watching Jaina, wondering if she had recovered any since the event earlier.

 

Muggles eyes falling on Jaina's wounds," Who was it Jaina?," Looks around the room," Where is Nells, Blue Shoes and RaI?? "

 

Muggles torn between concern and anger lets concern win over," Alright .. " Not so happy he ignores River

 

Kimani Silvercloud heres her nickname and sits up, "I'm right here"

 

Koami Silvercloud nods as she makes a mental picture of the mysery guy and stretches her arms before making fists with both her small hands and growling, "Okay, I'm gonna go find him." She stomps a few steps towards the door before gasping and turning to curtsey so she isn't rude.

 

River Grau had been glancing around the room, so noticed Belldandy behind the transparent curtain. Stepping over, he clasps his hands behind his back and watches her for a moment. "Friend or foe?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at her sister "dont leave!" she says "bad decision, you will be hurt"

 

Belldandy Ghost shifts her glance to River and looks at the child for a moment "If Pixis as an enemy, Pixis would have crushed you the moment Pixis entered the door...."

 

Koami Silvercloud waves her hand to the side dismissing her sisters complaints, "I'll be fine, I ain't accident prone like you. Ciao!"

 

Jaina Lefevre: "Rai went t'do scoutin'. Don't know where Nellie is. River made me a tart. It's gonna be fruits and nummy when I'm sittin' up." She looks over at Koa. "No..you gotsta wait. We're gonna do it t'gethers. Like put glue outside their doors...and drop bricks on their heads...and pull out th'manholes when they get close...gurry-lilla warfares it's called. I read 'bout it in my books."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "wait, dont go without me" she would rather she not go alon "river take over sitting watch over Jai, okay?" she gets up

 

Koami Silvercloud shakes her head to Jaina, "I'll do that too," She then glances over to her sister getting up and quickly darts to the door trying to get far enough away that Kimi can't catch up.

 

Muggles looks at Koami," then back at Jaina," I don't know her but I can go with her!! They need to be BEANED!!!!"

 

Jaina Lefevre: "Tha's Kimi's sister."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "we will just follow him!"

 

River Grau quickly gets distracted from the woman in front of him as Jaina talks about what she wants to do to the UAC. He steps over there, head shaking, "No, no, don't go near. UAC will kill you..! Have your Mommy do stuff. They kill."

 

Jaina Lefevre nods to Mugs. "Go...Kimi got shotted at once already. Don't want her gettin hurts." She looks at River. "I know. I was in that big see-mint place."

 

Clyde Gemini looks to Jaina, sighs and nods," Ok "

 

Kimani Silvercloud "I am going with her too" she says firmly "she is my sister"

 

Jaina Lefevre nods. "Tha's what I meant, Kimi...you guys go togethers."

 

River Grau pauses as he tries to think about what Jaina is saying. "The place with the barricades..? Alllll the way past the park in Apoc..?"

 

Belldandy Ghost speaks up, even though she wasnt being psoken to "confirmed Location....Apoc//UAC Compound....." she would know, she had mapped the ro ute she too to get there

 

Jaina Lefevre uh huhs. "It was really scariest."

 

River Grau face-palms. He just couldn't help it. "And RAI was there too?" He was ten and knew the UAC place was somewhere a hybrid should never ever be. "Jaina.. Don't go there. Don't never go there again. Bad people. LOTS of bad people."

 

Jaina Lefevre sighs. "I was in th'park, on the wall. The soljur was nice. He was helpin' me with my aims. And then he said I hadta join the Youaysee and I said no...was gonna be like Mommy..and he called mommy bad things and I shotted him with my slingshot..but he had armors, so it just bounced. He shotted at me with a gun and I ran in the park and Rai was there and we hids and they threw a bang thing (flashbang) and it got all dark."

 

River Grau frowned, "Don't trust UAC, they're bad." His eyes were wide, and he held his arms around himself. "Make girls do stuff they don't wanna. With knives. And break tails and they're bad. Don't go near 'em."

 

Jaina Lefevre watches him and holds out her hand to him. "River, it was really bad. I'm tryin' hard to be braves but I wanna cry. Lots. But girls shouldn't cry much. It's not good."

 

River Grau reaches out to hold Jaina's hand as he slides onto the seat next to him. "You can cry, Jaina. It ain't bad to cry. Adults probably do it too." He wondered if his parents ever cried as he said this. He hadn't seen them ever do it, and the thought of his father crying seemed so silly. "Portia was cryin' when I asked you where you was. So it must be okay to cry."

 

Jaina Lefevre looks at him. "Miss Portia was cryin? Is she okay?"

 

River Grau shrugs, "Dunno.. she told me where you were.. and.. and.. I ran here as fast as I could."

 

Jaina Lefevre holds his hand, her arms covered with little cuts and scratches from the cement wall shrapnel. "Think I can break off a bite of this thing and taste it?" She looks from the tart to River. "I'm kinda hungries."

 

River Grau holds Jaina's hand while his free left arm goes to unwrap the tart. He first slips off the blue ribbon before carefully unwrapping the clear wraper to reveal the fruit tart beneath. "How much yah want?"

 

Jaina Lefevre lets go of his fingers a moment and reaches to break off a little bit of the tart crust with some of the fruit goo on it. She scoops up more of the fruit and eats it, eyes going wide. "Ooh..tha's really good! You should be a cook-person when you get bigger!" She gives him a big smile and dips her finger in to get a little more, licking it off her finger. "Okay..don't wanna mess it up so's I can share it, but it's really nummy."

 

River Grau smiles slightly and nods. "Aunt Saki is a baker and she's been teachin' me how to make some stuff. Maybe I will.. When I grow up."

 

Jaina Lefevre: "You wanna taste?"

 

River Grau nods and breaks off a peice of the tart with some of the fruit on it and eats it. "It's okay. I guess." He says while chewing with his mouth open.

 

Jaina Lefevre grins and then reaches over to tug the wrapper a bit and her hand is shaking. She pulls the little rag dolly close and whispers. "I was glad we wasn't fightin' no mores." she offers softly. "I didn't want you sad if I got deaded and we was still fightin'."

 

River Grau nods at Jaina's words, "I ain't want you to get all dead even if we was fightin, kay?"

 

Jaina Lefevre uh huhs. "Me neever, but they made me feel like I was deaded."

 

River Grau sighs, not sure what else to say. "Yeah, but we ain't fightin' no more."

 

Jaina Lefevre: "Nope. We ain't fightin. But they can't do that kinda stuff. Kimi fainteded and Rai was brave. He tried t'get them to shot him and let us go."

Jaina Lefevre slows as she sees the mean kitty kids from school last night and heads over to them. "You can't come to school no more 'cause you're mean."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "so what have you been doing today?" she asks letting the adults talk among themselves

 

Fern Sabre nods and shrugs "i'm sure she'll tell me, I just thought it would be fun ta have a lil cousin." she sighed and looked down the street "ah wont bother you anymore if thats what ye want" she stepped back a few steps

 

Zoe Baran she shakes her head, "Nah, that's not what I meant, Fern. I just got a few of your family members breathing down my neck and it's making me...I don't know. Something."

 

CD Galaxy smiles as she spots Fern on the street and wanders over, raising a hand in a friendly wave, smiling as she calls out, "Hey Miss Fern! how's it goin'? Busy with errands?"

 

Fern Sabre nods to Zoe "I understand, ye can trust me though " she heard someone come up from behind and turned "Sadie,its going" she didnt know where though "I'd like ya to meet an old friend, this is Zoe...Zoe this is Sadie, we work tagether"

 

Rai Pawpad rolls his eyes and hunkers down to pick up some stones. "Frankly, Minister, I've had better days."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "well do ya wanna go talk elsewhere" she wispers looking towards fern

 

CD Galaxy turns and gives Zoe a friendly wave and a warm smile, "howdy! it's nice to meet you Ma'am"

 

Zoe Baran smirks and gives a small wave, "Nice to meet you, Sadie."

 

Jaina Lefevre glares from Kumani to Rai and puts her hands on her hips. "I /said/, you can't come t'school 'cause you're mean. You gotta be /nice/ to be in school."

 

Sadie watches the two kids together, "aww...how cute, a little boy and he's got himself a little girlfriend!" she giggles softly

 

Kimani Silvercloud blushes instantly then scowls at the girl sho said that

 

Rai Pawpad bounces away from the blonde girl. and looks up at the adults with a dignified expression. "Kimani is my Minister of Blue."

 

Kimani Silvercloud still scowling "yeah we ain' dating!"

 

Fern Sabre laughs with Sadie and leans over "thas Kimanie and Rai" she smiled at Kim 's scowl and winked at her "Rai is my cousin..." she hoped

 

CD Galaxy can't help but grin even wider at the boy's proclamation, and leans over to Fern as she murmurs, "that's just way too cute!"

 

Jaina Lefevre grins a little as he bounces away and advances on him. "Keep goin'. Cause I'm gonna kick you /really/ hard if you is mean in school again. And you can't has a file on me 'cause it's a 'vasion of pry-see. (privacy)."

 

Zoe Baran glances over her shoulder at the pair, grinning. "Rai's my son."

 

Fern Sabre snickers and nods "got any of that chocolate Luk pilfer...I mean bought on our last run to da mainland?"

 

Sadie 's eyes widen in surpise at Fern, "Really!! that's awesome! you should bring'em over, I can make some poppers for a snack or something! "

 

Kimani Silvercloud "so do ya wanna go? if your mom lets ya." she asks wanting to get away from the blonde lady

 

Fern Sabre grins at Sadie "yeah jus doan let the brothers catch em there..they dont like kids"

 

Sadie shakes her head at Fern's question, "sorry Ma'am. I didn't think to bring any with me when i went out t'day. But there's two cases I stashed away because it was disappearing really fast!"

 

Rai Pawpad stands up, reveling in the two inches of height he has. "It's not. It's freedom of the press. You do somethin im public, I can write about it."

 

Rai Pawpad rolls his eyes. "This one's mom never lets her go outside a two block radius without an adult. " His smile is nice, not even mocking. "Right, princess?"

 

Zoe Baran tilts her head, tuning into the conversation behind her, "Everything good, Rai?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud giggles

 

Jaina Lefevre makes a rude sound something close to a raspberry. "You ain't got a paper. That ol' lady with the red hair. SHE got a paper. Youse bein' a spy and you suck at it. My Mommy wouldn't hire you 'cause you're dumb. You /tells/ people you got secrets." She looks up at Kumani then back to Rai. "I go anywheres. I didn't always has a Mommy, tha's new. And Nanny is a moron." ie easy to lose.

 

Sadie giggles at the boy's statement a moment, then frowns, remembering her own time in the spotlights and camera lenses, "Y'know, I think someone needs to turn the press's own tricks against them. Let them see what it's like to get hounded 24/7. Maybe i can start that movement with th' young'n there" she says, grinning as she pulls out her cell phone and activates the camera mode and aiming it at Rai, "Smile liddle boy, I'm gonna take your picture!"

 

Rai Pawpad flips an ear and grins. "Yeah, Mom. Fine."

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at Zoe and asks "can me an' Rai go play?" she asks sweetly

 

Fern Sabre chuckles "good plan Sadie" as she digs out her pipboy

 

Zoe Baran smiles to her boy, then turns to Kim, "Sure, that sounds fine. You two take care of each other. I have to find Rai's aunt anyway- she ran off somewhere around here."

 

Sadie: "i've even got a good headline to print up! "Boy Rai on outting with soon to be fiance, see juicy story on page 9!"

 

Rai Pawpad leans in to the little blonde girl. "You wish you knew our secrets. That's why you say that stuff." He pulls away and cracks a smile. "But don't be mad. I think you got potenshul."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "oh YAY!!" she says happily then looks at Rai "lets go play!" se says trying to grab his hand and pull him away

 

Fern Sabre sncikers at Rai, alread dodging females

 

Rai Pawpad: "What do you think, Kimani? think the Princess might get a position in my cabinet somtime?"

 

Sadie snaps a shot of Rai and the blond girl leaning close, "or how about this one, "Little Rai finds new love!"

 

Jaina Lefevre 's hand lifts like she's gonna slap Rai when he leans in. "You ain't got no idea what I got, Prince Puddy-tat. Stuff yer p'ten-shill."

 

Sadie murmurs to Fern, "oh my, tiffin' already!'

 

Kimani Silvercloud "Yeah! she can be minister of" turns to the girl "what can you be minister of, I am minister of blue"

 

Fern Sabre laughs and nods at Sade "arent they cute?"

 

Sadie giggles "too cute! makes me wanna take'em home and cuddle with th' lot of'em!"

 

Rai Pawpad grins. "Minister of hairbrushes!"

 

Jaina Lefevre narrows her eyes. "Don't wanna be a Mins-sister. If youse is the Prince, then I'm th' Empress. SO there!"

 

Sadie puts her hand to her chin, nodding thoughtfully as she listens to the kids talking, saying to Fern, "ooh, Miss Fern! I didn't know your family was royalty!"

 

Kimani Silvercloud "being a minister is fun!!" she says looking at the girl finally deciding to introduce herself "Well

Fern Sabre giggles to CD "royalty? I think us haulers are too, ya know..we could be da kings of the seas"

 

Rai Pawpad looks at the girls sincerely, a very adult expression. "I'm sorry, You can't be. I mean, I really am Prince. You can't just make up titles like that. I mean, I can give you another one, appoint something. But those things....you got to be born to them. I'm sorrry."

 

Rai Pawpad doesn't even bother to correct Fern. Adults usually don't understand.

 

Jaina Lefevre rolls her eyes. "You don't knowed nothin. I was born special too. I can too be an Empress if'n I wanna." She watches the soldiers walk by and turns back to Rai. "You said I was a princess...so I can be an Empress if'n I want."

 

Sadie turns her attention to the little boy, countering his claim, "That's not true Rai. Not everyone is born into royal positions. Some of them marry into them, or inherit them from relatives" she explains, nodding

 

Sadie turns to Fern, "y'know, when i lived on the Mainland, I got to go to alot of places and meet a lot of people, including real kings and queens and presidents.' she says, nodding

 

Fern Sabre nods to Sadie "really? I have an Aunt who thinks she's royalty" she snickered "she sure lives like it" her excesses were legendary

 

Echo Josephina gives Kimani a shy wave from behind the pillar

 

Kimani Silvercloud sees the wave and wvaes back "Hi!"

 

Rai Pawpad looks at the blonde girl over his shoulder and smiles. "Okay, You'll have the title of Princess Empress.. " He check this with Kimani, to see if she's bouncing, and nods at the lady, "You're right. See? I just gave her a title."

 

Jaina Lefevre mutters. "You didn't gived it to me, I gaved it to myself." She looks up at Sadie and blinks. "Wasn't she on TV?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods approvingly of this title

 

Sadie giggles at the boy, "well, that's not quite what i meant.."

 

Kimani Silvercloud wispers to rai "lets go to the park" she says

 

Jaina Lefevre watches Rai and Kimani. "I'm Princess Empress Jaina then. And...I..uh..gotta go see someone first. Just gotta be careful. There is wolves in the park and they'll eat you."

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at the empress "well if they are there we will go someplace else!"

 

Sadie blinks at Jaina, self consciously sidestepping a bit to hide behind Fern,

 

Rai Pawpad bounces around. "I know. I know just what you meant. " He was going to continue, but stops. "We got to go. We have a campaign to plan."

 

Kimani Silvercloud sees the girl that made her blush looking at her and looks back

 

Kimani Silvercloud folows Rai "see ya later Empress"

 

Jaina Lefevre keeps watching "Sadie" and then shrugs and watches Rai and Kimani head off.."Bye.." she offers, then goes in the other direction.

 

Jaina Lefevre stops and looks back at Sadie and frowns a little. "S'okay..." she offers quietly. "I don't like people thinkin' I'm special neither."

 

Sadie blinks again at the little girl a moment, "why would you not want people thinking you're special?"

 

Jaina Lefevre answers, just as quietly. "Cause then you get noticed and then they want you dead."

 

Sadie nods and looks down at her feet, "yeah...yeah, or worse than dead...could just want you back, huh. Back to bein' what you don't want to be, right?"

 

Jaina Lefevre nods. "Yeah." she offeres to Sadie. "Doin' stuff that makes you die inside instead of all over."

 

Sadie smiles at the little girl, "so what's your name, sugar? Are you really a princess in hiding?"

 

Jaina Lefevre gives her a crooked smile. "Naw. I'm just Jaina. If'n him thinkin' I'm someone special means he won't be means to me in school, then s'good."

 

Sadie grins, "yeah, havin' a boy think your special IS a good thing! Where do you go to school? I didn't know there was a school here

 

Jaina Lefevre shrugs. 'Church has school on Tuesdays but they're makin' a real school for rest of th'days. And boys gots cooties. I just don't want the kitty kids beatin' me up 'cause I don't got ears and tails."

 

Sadie giggles, nodding, "yes, bad little boy cooties! gotta be careful around them, right?"

 

Jaina Lefevre nods. "Uh huh. And if you don't got a rain coats then you get more cooties. That's what Conor said. But I don't like rain coats, they're squeaky."

 

Sadie: "aww...they shouldn't be beatin' you up at all, ears and tails or not!" she smiles "well, Tell Conor that cooties aren't stopped by raincoats, that only slow's 'em down and makes them tired and cranky'

 

Jaina Lefevre looks confused and then nods. "Okay. Um...bye?" She turns and starts walking away. "Wow...'dults are /weird/.."

  

In keeping with the artist's vision, I'm sure.

Aero-Autojumble & Classic Vehicle Rally & Fly-in Popham Airfield EGHP. 2015/05/04

Coachwork by H.J. Mulliner

 

One of only 75 original left-hand drive Silver Cloud II two-door drophead coupés built by H J Mulliner, this example was imported into the USA by Rolls-Royce Inc and sold via the official distributor J S Inskip of New York. This car has a very interesting ownership history. Chassis number 'LSAE583' was first registered to Wilbur S 'Bill' Todman, the American radio and television producer responsible for a succession of innovative and influential shows including 'Beat the Clock', 'The Price is Right', and 'What's My Line?' Regarded as American TV royalty, Bill Todman was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2011.

 

The Rolls-Royce stayed in the Todman family's ownership, passing in 1978 to Wilbur's son, Bill Todman Jr, the internationally renowned film producer, who owned the car up until the current vendor purchased it directly from him, making this wonderful Silver Cloud II a genuine two-private-owner example.

 

Restored to an exemplary standard at some time in the past, this Silver Cloud remains in generally very good to excellent condition. The body panels present well in all areas; panel gaps are excellent, and the doors and boot open and close smoothly. The Ivory paintwork is virtually unblemished, and the chrome remains bright and un-pitted. Engine compartment detailing is exceptional.

 

Inside, the Rolls Royce is the very quintessence of luxury, boasting picnic tables to the rear, and split front seats. The seats are upholstered in unmarked blue leather, while the matching carpets show no evidence of use and the wooden trim is exceptional. The folding top is in excellent condition both inside and out, with the electric mechanism fully operational.

 

The engine starts readily whether cold or hot, the automatic transmission changes gear smoothly, and the brakes function correctly. All instruments are functioning, showing good oil pressure, water temperature, and rate of electrical charge. The luggage compartment contains the correct tools. Contained within the history folder, accompanying documentation includes copies of the original factory build sheets and a UK V5C Registration Certificate.

 

Highly sought after by connoisseurs of fine automobiles, these limited edition, coachbuilt Rolls-Royces are rarely offered for sale, and this example has to be one of the very best currently available. Highly usable and ready for the Côte d'Azur, it affords the prospect of one of the ultimate driving experiences. An absolutely stunning example.

Let the uncontrollable laughter commence!

 

Amara would walk over, getting very close to Tobias' face and quickly lick his cheek if he didn't react fast enough. It was meant to be playful of course. Hit or miss, she'd stick her tongue out afterwards.

Lily Lowtide: \o/ ))

 

Tobias Reyes frowns slightly in Lily's direction before speaking. "Like the nearly one-hundred year old classic goes, 'you can't always get what you want." He'd say, chuckling softly to himself. If it weren't for his own obsession with music, he probably wouldn't know what he was talking about but he loved referencing pre-war music when he could.

 

Tobias Reyes pauses when he feels something wet touch his cheek. He'd stand there, motified for a moment before flailing his arms about in the air. "You licked me!"

 

Lily Lowtide looks to Toby with a blank expression before forming the most stupid face possible and nods. "Naahh, yathink?" she says as she pokes out her tongue.

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks down at the sleeping char again, wondering if he was still upset, then looks up at lilly her cheecks blushing a bit. gently standing then placing chars head down walking over to lily

 

Amara pouted. "How rude! It's not like I'm laced with poison or something!" She was tempted to bring up events from cleaning day again, but decided against it. She'd only fold her arms in a mock grumble.

 

Tobias Reyes continues to flail his arms in the air as he begins to shout at the top of his lungs. "Ugh! I've been kissed by a girl! I have girl germs! Get hot water! Get some disinfectant! Get some iodine!"

 

Lily Lowtide looks to Kimani and steps a little closer so they were standing side by side. She brings her hand up, intending on patting Kim on the head, but then tilts her head to the side, her hand just hovering above Kimani's head. "Did you grow? Or am I just shrinking... or just crazy?" She looks back to Toby then and playfully rolls her eyes. "Oh come on. Amara licks are the best." she says with a sage nod.

 

Kimani Silvercloud glances at tobias "he's worse then nine year olds" then walks over to him "Mister, you look ridiculous, like one of wacky wally's inflatible arm tube man"

 

Lily Lowtide: Lmao! XD ))

 

Tobias Reyes looks down at the ankle bitter, his eyes wide as he continues to speak; his voice slightly lower than before. "I've been kissed by a girl ... germs, infection, disease, cooties!" Okay, so now he was just hamming it up for the lil sheila. "And I -do not- look like a wacky-arm-inflatable-tube-man-thingy." He says as he slowly stops flailing his arms about and places them back at his side.

 

Amara took some cleaner( just water) and a clean rag from the supplies bin. If Tobias was still screaming like a baby, she'd spritz him with the water and wipe his face. Whether he dodged it or not, she'd try to spray him with a mist.

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: i have a use for this finally!

 

Lily Lowtide: Lmao. ))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes dies, he just dies lmao.

 

Lily Lowtide: Lmfao om Amara. ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud giggles "well you did, you would have fit in at the lot where he sells them" she pauses "and it isnt girls that have cooties, its boys that have cooties" she turns to look at lily "I think I had a growth spurt, but i dunno"

 

Lily Lowtide: I'm laughing so hard. ))

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: i can't breathe

 

Kimani Silvercloud quick do interweb cpr!!))

 

Lily Lowtide looks at Amara and busts out luaghing, trying her best to nod at Kimani, but she was laughing too hard. "Oh, that's great." she'd say inbetween laughs as she watched the scene. "Pheeww."

 

Lily Lowtide: EVERY MOVEMENT I LAUGH EVERN HARDER! ))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: My cat just jumped on my shoulders...

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: Epic kitty piggy-back ride.

 

Lily Lowtide: XD ))

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: did it scare you?...wait does every neko hete have a cat in RL?

 

Kimani Silvercloud: i have a dog, no cats here

 

Kimani Silvercloud: ))

 

Lily Lowtide: I has 4 cats and 3 dogs. >_> ))

 

Tobias Reyes stares at the boy blankly for a moment before turning his head toward the staircase, calling down to Amara as she walks off to put the sandwiches back in the fridge. "Hey, Amara! The ankle bitter wants me to lick you! You in!?" He'd shout down to her, a hint of exhaustion in his voice as he speaks.

 

Jayde Rasmuson: ((gotta go set up my new place, i'll be back pretties))

 

Lily Lowtide: Bai! _> ))

 

Tobias Reyes stares at the ankle bitter as a stream of water hits the side of his face. Slowly,, he'd turn his head toward Amara as a second stream hits him directly in the eyes. He'd close them shut, tightly, before speaking. "Amara..." He says, trying to keep his voice controlled as the streams of water hit him in the face. "I... am going... to kill you..." He mutters under his breath before shouting and flailing his arms once more. "I'm clean now okay!?"

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: I have 2 cats and 1 dog. The one that actually associates closest with me though is a bengal so I expect it out of her.

 

Lily Lowtide: Me cat looks like he's in deep thought right now. He just like.. staring blankly into space. XD ))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: Lucky ! Mine's biting at my fingers as I move them across the keyboard !

 

Lily Lowtide: XD ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud: ((my dog, I only have one, is chilling on the couch, he's 1 1/2, so totally adorable))

 

Amara wiped just a bit more, rubbing the rag fiercly against his check. "There you are. Girl cooty-free, love." She'd laugh loudly, failing to hold in the giggles any longer. "You're very good at the flailing by the way."

 

Kimani Silvercloud snickers "did they bring you from there, maybe you were hiding there, like in disguise which is why your so good at arm flailing" she pauses then looks at lily moving back over to her muttering "miss amara, try to get all the cooties he has off of him"

 

Amara continued laughing. "I think I did Kimani."

 

Lily Lowtide starts to fidget as she stands there and looks around. A small whine could even be hear from her as she looks to the main waterfall. "Anyone know how long this storm thing is supposed to last?"

 

Tobias Reyes looks between the ankle bitter and Amara. "I just have a lot of practice... oka--wait. I mean,

I'm no good at arm flailing! Yeah! ...that's it." He'd stand there silently for a momentfore pushing off the wall. "And on that note. I'm going to bed." He mutters, "if anyone needs me, I'll be sleeping in the medical bay where it's -cootie free-." He says as sarcastically as possible.

 

Kimani Silvercloud nodding "that's good, we dont want boy cooties spread everywhere, " she looks at lily "not too much longer I hope, its odd not running around freely" she looks at tobias then back at the two women "what a crazy ole coot" she says her smile getting larger

 

Amara plopped on the bed. "Great idea. I need to sleep myself." She was not in the modd to question what god-awful cooties lurked in the mattress. "Night all."

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: nini

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: G'night.

 

Lily Lowtide: Night. ))

 

Kimani Silvercloud: Nighty night!))

 

:: Amara Parmelee OOC :: *spritzes Tobi one last tiime* Okay, i'm done.

 

Kimani Silvercloud: lol))

 

(OOC)Tobias Reyes: lol

 

Lily Lowtide makes a pouty face cause everyone is going to sleep. She waves to nods to Amara, then looks to Toby and smirks. "Sleep well, muffin." she says in an equally as sarcastic tone.

 

Tobias Reyes begins to make his way toward the stairwell when he hears the lil sheila words. He'd turn his head toward her, his eyes glaring, before he shouts; as loud as he possibly could. "I'm not old!" And with that he'd stomp down the stairs ignoring Lily's comment as he made his way toward the medic's bay.

 

Kimani Silvercloud says to lily "then there were two" before looking around giggling "he takes stuff to seriously"

Jaina Lefevre: "You knowed where he is? "

 

Kimani Silvercloud "yeah, I saw him behind this fence, I think he's with mugs"

 

Jaina Lefevre: "I don't know Mugs. Is it a boy or a girl?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud "he is a boy, and he'll need convincing to be nice to river"

 

Muggles hears Kim on the ramp and turnss," Blue Shoes!!"

 

Jaina Lefevre slows when she sees the boys. "Hi.." she offers softly.

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at mugs "mugs this is Jaina, Jaina this is mugs" she says introducing them

 

Muggles eyes the newcomer and asks," Whos your friend?"

 

Muggles still a little suspious waves," Hiya "

 

Rai Pawpad bounces on his shoes. "Minister! Hey!" He makes a kind of formal gesture at the blonde girl. "This is the Princess."

 

Jaina Lefevre: "I'm Jaina. I usedta be an orfin but I got Mommas now."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "yeah she's the princess, and you don' need ta worry about her mugs"

 

Muggles nods," Well I guess that's good" Muggles looks at Rai as if to say *who cares*

 

Jaina Lefevre looks over at Rai. "You askin' him to join th'gang? Or is he a mean liar-face like Bastian?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud uh oh she thinks to herself knowing mugs can be mean, expeiriencing some of it first hand

 

Muggles turns a little surprised waiting to follow Rai lead.

 

Rai Pawpad straightens and crosses his arms. "Yeah, I am. Cause he's the head of my army. And Bas isn't ....you don't need to talk like that."

 

Muggles nods," Head of the army ain't a push over ya know!"

 

Rai Pawpad nods. "No shit, Mugs."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "he does have good aim when shootin' cookies which will be goods for protection"

 

Jaina Lefevre crosses her arms. "Bastian /is/ a mean liar-face. He wanted t'hit me in th'bar and I told him he couldn't 'cause you and River'd protect me cause that's what we do, we protects each other. He said he was gonna poisons me and stuff and then he tol' River I said you was my army and I didn't and now River hates me too. But mean kids is like mean 'dults. If we is gonna protect each other, we gots to do it, right?"

 

Muggles eyes Jaina and takes a half a boloney sandwich out his pocket, taking a bite. He smiles as Kim complements him on his aim. He listens to Jaina and nods," Yeah ur right about that I suppose ... If we don't watch out for each over who gonna watch out for us? But sometimes we gotta be mean ya know? So adults take us serious."

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks at mugs take out the sandwich "If you want I have a lunchbox you can have, it has a sandwich and cookies" she says

 

Rai Pawpad thinks about this hard for a moment, which means staring at the tip of his shoe. "Yeah. and I'm not cool with hitting girls. For any reason. That's not....schiv...chival...polite, right? Not honorable."

 

Jaina Lefevre: "And I got us a new place t'hideout. It's safer and I got a lots of foods and a fridge thing with milks and stuff."

 

Muggles nods in agreement, But sometimes ya gotta Rai ... You ever been hit BY a girl?? Its hurts like a boy ya know!" Muggles turns with a smile," Milk?? I LOVE milk!"

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods "yeah I seen it, its real nice, we jus' gotsa get blankets"

 

Rai Pawpad squints his eyes and crouches suspiciously. "Sounds like one of those grown up places. To trap us. I mean, you have MILK?"

 

Jaina Lefevre smirks at Rai. "It's not a trap. You knowed who my Mommies are. I got stuff 'cause I told Mommy my frien's was hungry." She falls silent and edges closer to the boys.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "I think we'll be okays there, and we can run into the sewers if someone comes"

 

Rai Pawpad crouches, his ears moving. "Yeah...I guess. If Kim says it's okay."

 

Kimani Silvercloud smiles at Rai "I think its good, and we can store stuff in there, like blankets"

 

Jaina Lefevre: "You can lives there, if ya want. It's safe and dry and there's a potty there and everythin'. Still gotta take showers at th'Center though." She looks at Mugs. "You wanna join us? You gotta swear an oaf."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "I think I might do that, I just gotta get more blankets, or somethin'"

 

Muggles looks to Kim and the Rai," I thought an oaf was that fat hairy smelly guy that passes out in front of SnakePit ?"

 

Jaina Lefevre grins at Kim. "There's a little beds there and I sweepeded." She glares at Mugs. "Oaf. LIke...a vow."

 

Kimani Silvercloud giggles "Yeah, but we can sets up another one"

 

Muggles Nods," Like the vow I did to be head of the army?" Looks to Rai for confirmation

 

Jaina Lefevre: "I swear not to fight each others 'cause we has meaner, bigger things t'fight. We stick together 'cause we is kids and the 'dults don't understand."

 

Rai Pawpad nods to Muggles. "Yeah, like that. Only this time it's not a blood oath. Just an oaf."

 

Muggles looks around ," You guys had to say this too?"

 

Jaina Lefevre nods. "We all does."

 

Rai Pawpad looks up at the catwalks. "I said it."

 

Muggles clears his throat and shrugs," "I swear not to fight each others 'cause we has meaner, bigger things t'fight. We stick together 'cause we is kids and the 'dults don't understand."

 

Jaina Lefevre puts her hand out, nodding to Rai. "Okay wif me." waiting for him to put his hand on top.

 

Muggles continues," Except if they need to get beaned .." Muggles looks around explaining," They might need remindin!"

 

Jaina Lefevre shakes her head. "Nooo.. No fightin' each other. That's 'portant. But if someone starts it, then ya tell them they stop or they gotta leave."

 

Muggles puts his hand on the other hands," OK ok ...." Muggles whispers to Rai," Is Conor in the gang .. I wanna bean him BEFORE he joins .. Thats ok right " Looks to Jaina," Beofre he joins I can bean him ?"

 

Rai Pawpad looks back at Mugs and smiles with a little incisor showing as he puts his hand on the girl's. "Sometimes a guy needs a beaning. We'll handle that."

 

Kimani Silvercloud Puts her hand in

 

Jaina Lefevre sighs. "He's not in it yet. I ain't seen him yet. But we all 'greed he was good to be in it. And Whysper and Luci and Aya and Caty and that new girl. Bastian was really mean t'me and he lies. He doesn't want to -not- fight or p'tect or anythin'. He just wants to boss everyone. Tha's not good. "

 

Rai Pawpad lets his hand stand still on hers, and it's hotter than he would have imagined. " Bas isn't in. None of those others, either. Now do the oath."

 

Muggles pokes Ria with a wet willy," I did the oaf! "

 

Muggles repeats it again slowly and loudly in Rai ear "I swear not to fight each others 'cause we has meaner, bigger things t'fight. We stick together 'cause we is kids and the 'dults don't understand."

 

Jaina Lefevre slowly pulls her hand back and looks from one to the other. "Okay...let's go show you and you can has milk and stuff."

 

Muggles turns to the group," I got to get my delievery of flowes to sell ... I'll meet up wit you guys latars.. s'ok?"

 

I've mentioned the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud many times before as the iconic design was derived into many different Bentley types such as the S1 and the Hooper bodied Continental dropheads, as well as mentioning it in pictures of its replacement the Silver Shadow, but finally I find an immaculate example of one of these magnificent machines out on the streets of Belgravia, the last of the Silver Rolls to be built in the conventional and iconic style of long on front, short on back.

 

Entering production in 1955, the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud was built to replace a collection of earlier models, including the Silver Wraith and the Silver Dawn, whilst also being built alongside the Phantom series. A cross between the Flying Scotsman and a Stately Home, the Silver Cloud was built originally for a market that revolved around hereditary money, Royals, Soldiers, Mine and Factory owners, and other families that had made their money in the great Victorian era of Industry.

 

But unbeknownst to Rolls Royce, as the 50's were packed away, the world changed abruptly. Money was easier to come by, and the margins that had once separated the class system became blurred and distorted. People of lower class backgrounds found their way up the social ladder by way of music and television, and one of the first things they hankered for was a Rolls Royce, the ultimate symbol of success.

 

And it's not hard to see why, with a price tag of £5,000 the Cloud was the equivalent cost of 10 Morris Minors or a 7 bedroom house. To own a Silver Cloud in the early 1960's meant you had to be someone very very special.

 

However, the Silver Cloud's old world design kept it very much in the past. Unlike modern Rollers where the body and chassis are built together, the Cloud was built as a chassis first, and then it was up to the owner to decide who constructed the coachwork, be they Hoopers, H.J. Muliner Park Ward or James Young.

 

This antiquated system meant that Rolls were losing their market, and thus they had to adapt in order to survive. In 1965 the highly advanced and radically designed Silver Shadow entered production, and a year later the last Silver Cloud rolled off the production line, bringing an end to the era of the classic Rolls.

 

Today they're a real rarity, the 1970's showed that rust was no respecter of pedigree and many redundant rollers simply whittled away under the rain. But even so, immaculate examples such as this continue to be found.

 

This was my first instance of sitting in the drivers seat of a Silver Cloud, and it was magnificent. Looking on from the lavish steering wheel placed before me, there was just feet of bonnet that resembled the bow of a mighty ocean going liner, with the beautiful Spirit of Ecstasy forming the bowspirit, cutting through the air like a ship through the sea.

 

I really should stop being so poetic about these cars... hehe

Melanated Movement, DC

Portia Kass's phone had been making various noises in her pocket for the past several minutes. Calls, texts, other notices were coming in. When it started to ring again she could no longer ignore it and she reached into her pocket to answer, her voice a bit more on edge and testy than normal. "Yes, hello? This is Portia."

 

Persephone Ducatillon sloppily extends her right hand and grins "Hiyah" she continues in that harsh accent "Name's Roxanne, my friends call me Roxy!" for all the world acting like she didn't really hear the hybrid at all

 

Jaina Lefevre swallows a little and her lower lip quivers. "Miss Portia...s'all my fault. He was helpin' me with my aim and was bein' nice...but then he said I hadta join the Youaysee and I said I was gonna be like my Mommy, a Major..and he said mean things about hers so I shotted him with a ball bearing and it hitted his armor. He got mad and pulled out his gun when I was gonna shot the other targets again and he shot the gun at me and I let the balls go by accident 'cause I got scared and I ran. He said I shot a claymore mines at him but it was jus' ball bear-rings and I ran and Rai ran and he did a big boom thing..and couldn't see..and hear...and it got dark and then he throwed me in a cage and..." she's out of breath,

 

Chameleon Blinker ignores the hand and picks up her scythe, gently nudging the woman backwards if she could. "Leave. Now."

 

Darkness Odigaunt's attention rivits to the girl on the table, holding her own anger down out of sheer will. She turns away, to the other bed to let the girl talk to Portia. She leans down to Kimani again, checking her over to see if she'd been hurt while passed out.

 

Persephone Ducatillon blinks perhaps a bit too rapidly and eyes the nudging hand as if it were a venomous reptile, her eyes flash a warning as she continues on "Think maybe da little rugrats seen enuff blood fer one day honey? Let's pretend dat matters ta us, k?" The accent was thinner, possibly the tiniest hint of menace there but she -did- withdraw her own hand

 

Portia Kass rolled her eyes as she heard the voice She was hoping it would have been someone with some pertinent information or maybe even Jaina's mother, but it was just business. "Hello, Inaka-san. No, I'm sorry it has not been arranged just yet." She went quiet for several moments and covered the reciever, leaning in to listen tot he little girl's whispers. "Shhhh, sweetheart. Don't get yourself worked up... it's not your fault. He was a very bad man," she assured her in a wholly different tone of voice than she was using for the man on the phone. She moved away again and uncupped the reciever. "I apologize, Inaka-san. Mayor Rigaud did mention that in regard to your more... specific needs as far as staff, that your presence at the meeting would not be necessary. He will be meeting with the Chief as soon as possible and I will make sure to give you whatever information you may require about their.. agreements. Be assured that the Mayor will be handling it as promptly as possible and that you will not encounter any difficulties there."

 

Chameleon Blinker rolls her eye, she in fact did not want a confrontation, not here at least. She lowers the sickle and puts it back over her shoulder. "Just…keep quiet."

 

Persephone Ducatillon nods and mimics zipping her lips closed but ruins it with a giggle then puts on a blatantly thin contrite look...which soon creeps back into a smile

 

Jaina Lefevre gets quiet because Portia's on the phone and looks over to Kimi and SIster D. She mouths 'Sorry" to Kimi and watches the Sister to see how mad SHE is.

 

Portia Kass continued to speak intot he phone, her tone professional but lacking any of her usual sweetness. "I have not been informed of any as yet. I will check with the Mayor as soon as I can and let you know." Boy that guy had some nerve, it had only been two days! They weren't even -business- days! She managed to keep her internal comments out of her tone, even adding a dash of sugar as she proceeded. "Was there anything else you needed, Inaka-san?"

 

Chameleon Blinker sighs and sits on a crate, hunching over like a freakish statue.

 

Darkness Odigaunt was pretty furious, her palms were bleeding from where her own nails had dug in, but she managed to hide it relatively well. "Okay, Miss Elise had friends keeping an eye on you, but we'll have to see about where we can get cell phones from..." She turns to the other bed, voice softening, "I called your phone, Jaina, but it didn't ring. Miss Elise called your parents."

 

Persephone Ducatillon began to toy with her necklace as she leaned against the doorway, making a game of just how lightly she could scuff the sole of her pump against the tile floor. Her bemused smile spoke of complete distraction but nothing might be farther from the truth.

 

Jaina Lefevre murmurs. "S'cause he tore it outta my ear and throwed it. I tried climbin' up the cage and he punched me so hard, things popped inside. Then he pulled and I couldn't hold on no mores and I hit the wall behind us when he fell down, with my back and my heads. I crawled under the beds first, but he kept shotting at me with really big ball bearings." She pulls the sleeve up to show a deep bruise on one upper arm, about three inches across. "Then my legs got tinglies and it got dark again."

 

Portia Kass caught the Sister's words and gave her a nod and a look that said, "thank, Heavens." It faded almost immediately as she went back to the phone call and trying to keep her patience with the man on the other end. She was balling her own hand into a little fist at her side now and trying not to grind her teeth for fear it would be audible. "Yes, well I do apologize for that. I will call you back in no more than three hours and let you know." Her voice was beginning to strain, but Jaina had started up again and that took the edge right out. She felt awful, just awful that anything had happened to her, and she was far more concerned with getting her home and finding the bastard that did this to her, than she was about any business anything.

 

Darkness Odigaunt chewed on a bloody nail, nodding, "Who was it, hunny? You said he didn't have a tag and he was a major, right? Did you notice anything else at all?" She glanced to Portia andd reached out her free hand to try to pat her arm.

 

Jaina Lefevre: "No..not a major. Mommy's a major. He's a shithead." She looks over to Kimi and whispers. "Kimi...is you okay? Rai's okay? Nobody got deaded, right?"

 

Kimani Silvercloud looks up, she had begun to doze off "Everyone is okay, no one is deads" she replies

 

Portia Kass gave the Sister a grateful smile and her own tone eased as the call came to a close. "Thank you, Inaka-san. Take care." She hung up and tucked the phone away immediately. She was now just watching Jaina intently. She was so agitated that she was ready to go out and tear that guy's head off with her bare hands whoever he was. She even allowed Jaina to swear. She hoped that Jaina's talkativeness would indicate that she was feeling a bit better. She looked up at D, "How will we know when Elise hears from her parents?" she asked in a soft tone.

 

Persephone Ducatillon giggles at the girl's keen analysis and shoots her an approving mischevious grin

 

Darkness Odigaunt nodded, surely they could find him. She was storing up all of her anger for when she was alone. "I can imagine we'll know. If Miss Elise doesn't call, I'm sure they'll come here... You girls and Rai did good today, trying to stop the hurting instead of picking on the soldiers."

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods "if someone is hurt they needs be fixed up, not forgotten"

 

Jaina Lefevre looks over at Kimi. "They put black things on our heads. I couldn't see. And someone put their hand on my mouth and nose and I couldn't breathe. And I heared the shots. It was right close. And I...got scared really bad."

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods at what Jai is saying she is still truamatized though and her eyes are darting everywhere

 

Portia Kass could do nothing but sigh and run her fingers soothingly through Jaina's hair, careful not to touch the back of her head where she'd watched her be stitched. "You don't need to worry about any of that now sweetie, don't think about that. It's okay to be scared... of course you were. But you're fine now. You're going to be fine." All she could do was sigh and shake her head. It was taking every ounce of her self-control not to cry and throw a fit. Too many things on her mind, much too much stress. She needed the shoulder of a good friend to cry on, an ear to vent to, but even her attempts at that had ended in bloodshed. Thankfully it hadn't been hers.

 

Darkness Odigaunt rubs her arms, it got worse with each telling. She watches Portia with Jaina for a moment, then moves to sit next to Kimani. She holds out her arms, silently offering a hug.

 

Kimani Silvercloud starts fidgiting in her seat, she wants to stay for Jai but she is really bad at sitting still she hugs Sister D though

 

Chameleon Blinker frowns to herself, wishing she could somehow comfort them. She realizes she may not look very cuddly, however, and remains still.

 

Jaina Lefevre closes her eyes at the touch and whispers. 'Thank you, Miss Portia..." she breathes quietly for a few moments and looks over at Kimi. "Lemme know how Rai is, 'kay? You ain't gotta stay." She pauses and then whispers. "Tengu"

 

Kimani Silvercloud wispers back "tengu" but she can't leave Jai, she is too worried

 

Darkness Odigaunt holds Kimani tightly for a moment, she'd never stop worrying about them. "It's okay now. Where are you staying, Kimani? With Rai? Is there someone we can call?" She glances between the two at the word from before.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "well last night I fell asleep in the church on a pew" she says this emarasedly "I sleep wherever seems safe, I went there to try an find you, but I got tired so I went to sleep"

 

Portia Kass leaned down to kiss Jaina's forehead again and whispered, "You're welcome, sweetheart." Her eyes moved from one girl to the next, eyebrow quirking at the word that was exchanged but she didn't question it. Her fingers continued to stroke Jaina's platinum hair, frowning at how mussed and dirty it was when it was usually so immaculately kempt. She thought about Sky marching off towards the bunker and suddenly had a thought. She had much more information for the woman now. "I have to go for now," she whispered apologetically to Jaina ((cuz my tummy is yelling at me and then Portia's got about 18 million things she needs to take care of ugh)). "I'll be back to check on you later on, okay? You're going to be just fine."

 

Darkness Odigaunt nods, "I'm sorry, well, we will definately find you someplace safe. You need to talk to Father Eamon about getting a bed above the school, someplace safe where no bad guys can get to you."

 

Jaina Lefevre smiles at Portia. "Uh huh...loves you." She closes her eyes. "Miss Mister Tau too..." and she dozes a little.

 

Kimani Silvercloud nods "okays, I guess, I just need to find him"

 

Darkness Odigaunt nodded, "A lot safer sleeping in there. If you ever sleep on the pews again though, I'll try to find you and sleep out there with you, okay? A little safer."

 

Kimani Silvercloud "okay"

 

Portia Kass's eyes did start to get glassy at that, she couldn't even help it. Her voice was thick as she replied, "Love you too, sweetheart. I miss Mister Tau too..." Her heart ached. What happened to the kids, the night before, earlier in the day... everything... and then the final jab of just how much she missed her former bodyguard... and friend. It was far too much. She couldn't even say goodbye to the Sister and the other girl she just whirled around and hurried out of the building and ran until she got to some quiet corner where she could wrap her arms around herself and cry.

 

Jaina Lefevre whimpers and stirs, twitching a little. Nightmares were going to be plentiful for the next few whiles.

 

Darkness Odigaunt holds her close for a moment, then lets her go, "Try getting some sleep now, okay?" She watched Miss Portia with a frown, she'd have to see how she was later then.

 

Kimani Silvercloud "but,, but Jai, I don' wanna leave her, she might get scared if she wakes up with 'dults all around her

 

Darkness Odigaunt motions to the table, "It's not too comfterable or anything, but you two will be together."

 

Jaina Lefevre whimpers softly and stirs, then grows quiet again, trying to rest...

 

Kimani Silvercloud "Its okay" she gets up and moves to the other chair "This will be comfy"

  

SILVER CLOUD (SHIP) / SILVERSEA CRUISES / RÍO GUADALQUIVIR (SEVILLA)

Simon Netizen moves in behind Deb's kid and crouches low. "Hey kid...like watchin' your mum in situations like this?"

 

Deets Carroll's face is impassive. Her arms twitch and she fires the shotgun. Deliberately aiming behind Tres, missing him easily. But Pyros wouldn't know that.

 

Rai Pawpad turns to the man, snarling, showing his teeth. "Fuck off, assbag! Leave her alone."

 

Jaina Lefevre whispers. "Go. The fuck. Away." and keeps watching below. She's trembling just a little, staring at the group.

 

Kimani Silvercloud turns and glares at the ass bag, giving him the evil eye

 

Belldandy Ghost looks over her shoulder at the person seemingly bothering the Princess. She narrows her eyes and suddenly changed her focus, she could care less about Pyros now, its the man behind the Princess that she would rather see destroyed and vaporized. And she could if she had brought the LMAF, which was safely stored so it couldnt be used for wild purposes "I suggest you leave They' Highnesses alone, Organic...."

 

Remamian Takashi looks down at simon and rolls her eyes "Subtle... very subtle" she takes a few steps around the crowd and finds a nice place to stand on the main path

 

Esha Rajal gave Simon a look that would read, "I believe you just got served." Sadly, it was toward his back from her vantage point. So, she just kept on smoking like she was wont to do.

 

Simon Netizen shakes his head and nods toward the beach, not deterred by such language from a small child. "Think about it, eh? Keep your ass at home, keep your mum from shit like this." He'd reach over to try and give her hair a tug. Nothing painful, just a nice, mocking gesture.

 

Debra Charron's features are a study in "total focus". Her opponents aim was no doubt thrown off a bit by the impacting round and his tensing to rush her, so his shell this time creases her left-outside torso right under her breast. Her black sweater stains red about the wound and again the slug causes her body to yank sideways. She growls deeply.........Deb's mind, as always seems to happen under stress, goes to its detached and emotionless place and as he bears down on her she analyses the situation. She's taken a bloody hit to the abdomen, and if she does not slow him down, she may well die here today of sheer blood-loss. his body is armoured, but those shiny boots look like geniuine leather. She aims for the left foot and taps off two rounds at it as the man reaches extreme-close-range - hoping to slow him a bit and gain some tactical parity. the pistol speaks again and how lead leaps towards the sand, seeking to perform a violenbt pedicure on the UAC functionary.............

 

Jaina Lefevre whirls as he touches her hair and her hand flies out to slap-claw at his face. "You FUCKTARD!" she hisses. "This is NOT about me! IT's about that SHITBAG down there that wants to hurt my Mom! Go ROT!"

 

Nellie Meads stands up, steps over to Simon's left, pulls the lighter out of her pocket. She looks over her shoulder to the lighter's owner. "You won't want this back if I shove it up his nose, will you?" was what she wanted to say, but she sees the man make a move to actually *grab* Jaina, and she flips it open, and lights it, under his left arm

 

Kimani Silvercloud stops glaring at simon when she sees Miss Jeff arrive, giving her a smile

 

Belldandy Ghost nautrally she stood when Jai stood but she hadnt made a move yet since she was going to let those closest handle things before she decided to use any sort of force

 

Rai Pawpad swings his arm up to intercept the gesture, his claws out. "I SAID Leave Her Alone? You fucking deaf as well as stupid?"

 

Simon Netizen reaches out to grip the hand that flies at him, but only to try and stop the attack. He leans over to blow out the flame on the lighter, then stands at the touch of Leighs' hand on his back and steps back, releasing the girl, if he'd succeded in holding her. "Right," he says, with a smirk and a nod, pretty well ignoring any other kids who try so valiantly to intercede.

 

Kimani Silvercloud watches as Nellie puts the lighter under his arm grinning, but she begins to growl

 

Kimani Silvercloud mutters "he's not worth our energy" then turns back toward the beach

 

Belldandy Ghost had now balled up her fists and stuck her left arm out, the device on her arm, appearently a kind of grappling hook device was now pointed at the man. It may not have been any better than her gun shield but it had a nice pointy hook stored in it and if she could at least get it into any part of his body she could use the line to her advantage

 

Jaina Lefevre glares at SImon and if looks could kill, he'd be shrivelled up like the roasted ear. "Don't -ever- touch me again, you fucking toad." She is shaking, she's so mad and she turns around and stomps a few steps away to look down at her Mom. "Shut up. THis is about Ass-brink and Mom. Just leave it."

 

Pyros Zenovka just lunges forward the lurger pistol moveing into to swipe at the head of the woman. He then lets out a moan as he feels the two rounds puch through his boots wich are worth more then most the poeople of the city in his mind."Fuck.." he grunts out his body stumbling foward his hand still trying to swing that pistol at her body really anywhere he can hit her. Ifg he can make this into a up close fight then maybe the armor will pay off more for him then her or thats what his mind thinks.

 

Remamian Takashi ignores said kid who throws human remains onto unexpected ground as she watches contemptually at the battle hopeing SOMEEONE will die soon...

 

Nellie Meads closes the lighter so she won't waste the fuel. Her tail twitches, she gives Simon a radiant smile. She shrugs, and backs away.

 

Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) growled low in her throat at the kid's language. She'd had enough out of children for the night. She nodded to Kimani briefly and stood beside her boyfriend sliding her arm around his waist if allowed to. "Kimani, how bout you c'mere?"

 

Esha Rajal was mentally calculating the distance between the very top of the hill, and the ground below. Of course, she'd just appear to be smiling into the distance, a far-off look in her eye. Hey, she was good at math.

 

Tres Asbrink is also into the fight and doesn;t really hear the nose from the shotgun his mind all on the fight

 

Pyros Zenovka is also into the fight and doesn;t really hear the nose from the shotgun his mind all on the fight

 

Nellie Meads pulls our her phone, holds it at arms length, and takes a picture of him, then taps a caption into it, and puts it away.

 

Simon Netizen welcomes the feel of Leigh's arm around his waist and turns to press his lips against her hair. "I've stood beside and behind the Commander down there in the worst possible situations, long before that little shit came along, and now she could die because the snotnosed brat can't stay at home where she fuckin' belongs."

 

Saw this lovely Rolls Royce in Southampton Row today in front of my bus. 04/05/15.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Empress Saloon by Hooper from 1956
