  1. <Darkling> After meeting up with Ivy you were led back to your hotel suite, Ivy in tow. room service was already waiting for you, a veritable feast laid out in the dining area of the suite.
  2. Rasia salivates shamelessly, having enough restraint to not simply start eating.
  3. Wilhelm_Faustus doesn't look all that interested in the food.
  4. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja still seems strangely reserved, but it's starting to crack. There's a twitch every now and then, or she makes a sudden movement as if she's about to pace, but stops herself.
  5. <Darkling> Ivy starts wandering around the suite as Lit begins filling a plate with food.
  6. <Rasia> "Rr? Eat!" Rasia's got two, Lit, better stack creatively.
  7. <Wilhelm_Faustus> Wilhelm smiles briefly at Rasia and even Lahja, then his face falls into a neutral mask as he crosses to the balcony so he can stare outside.
  8. <Darkling> Damn it's still so warm feeling for you Wilhelm.
  9. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "Let me know if you find any bugs, Ivy. I'll check the food for sedatives." Lahja says absently, giving Wilhelm a quick attempt at a return smile.
  10. <Wilhelm_Faustus> This dome needed to break open, let all of that snow inside. It was warmer that Berlin, how was that even possible?
  11. <Darkling> Lit plops onto a couch and starts mowing into the pile of food on his plate.
  12. <Rasia> Rasia opts for the kitchen counter, needing a flat surface. Didn't she eat on the way down? And a snack on the way home?
  13. <Darkling> Ivy wanders out to the balcony beside you Wil.
  14. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja only nabs a bit of food, and generally only the more plain things, then sits on the floor. Is she going vegetarian now?
  15. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "...what is it they have you doing here, exactly?"
  16. <Darkling> "Progress." She says, all the while smiling.
  17. <Wilhelm_Faustus> He snorts.
  18. <Darkling> "I find it highly illogical to think that you of all people here wouldn't understand."
  19. <Rasia> As Rasia stuffs her face full of turkey and potatoes.
  20. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Then she's playing with her food again, stabbing it and making high pitched voices of protest. "Don't swallow me! I'll fall into a pool of acid and melt!"
  21. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "You're quite mistaken. I understand completely. I just wonder how much you really know. Or how much I really know." That past part is muttered darkly.
  22. <Darkling> She scrapes the frost off the railing from where her hands were, making a small snowball from it. "I understand too well. Do you know what they've made of us?"
  23. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "You don't like it?" He looked down at his own hand, curling it into a fist.
  24. <Darkling> "I never said that." She squeezes the snowball between her hands. "Another one to think about though," she smirks, revealing and holding out a solid block of ice to him.
  25. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja stabs a carrot with her fork, then points it at Rasia. She speaks in the high pitched voice again. "You'll save me, won't you? This maniac is going to kill me!"
  26. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "Where is the weapon you used on Null Drei? What is it?" He takes the block of ice from her hand, looking it over.
  27. <Rasia> Rasia stares. Heartbeat. Whoosh. In an instant, she rescues the carrot. By eating it.
  28. <Darkling> A shrug. "Not important. What is though, do they know what they've made us into?" She turns from the balcony heading inside. "Make sure you enjoy tonight to the fullest." Then she's all the way in, looking over the food.
  29. <Wilhelm_Faustus> ". . ." He watches after her a moment, tossing the block of ice a couple of times. "Hm."
  30. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "And so perished a poor soul, an innocent flower so cruelly plucked from the ground before its time." she sighs in mock distress before stuffing a carrot into her mouth.
  31. <Rasia> Rasia's stare doesn't falter, except to return to her plate and give Ivy a wave.
  32. <Darkling> The sun s tarts to go down over the edge of the dome, you have a good view of it as the sky starts to turn radiant reds mixed with orange and pink.
  33. <Wilhelm_Faustus> Wilhelm moves away from the balcony, picking up the room's ice bucket before disappearing out the door.
  34. Rasia pauses to check on Lit's progress before digging in again.
  35. <Darkling> Lit's filling his next plate, some chicken in his beard.
  36. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "It didn't even have a name. My fault." Lahja looks over to the setting sun, finding it a little bland in comparison to the view from the boat. Still... red.
  37. <Rasia> Lucky Raz can only lose food between her tits. Omchom, delicious oranges.
  38. <Darkling> Lit plops back down into the seat and Ivy suddenly appears beside Lahja with a plate of jello cubes.
  39. <Wilhelm_Faustus> The Aryan returns with bucket full, dumping the ice into a jacuzzi. With that done he leaves again.
  40. <Rasia> Rasia watches him leave and enter, having moved on to the veggies.
  41. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja manages to put on an awkward and strange smile, holding it silently for longer than she probably should. "Enjoying this I hope?"
  42. <Wilhelm_Faustus> There he is again...and there he goes again.
  43. <Darkling> Ivy slurps up an orange bouncy cube. "Mmhm!"
  44. <Rasia> If Raz had a tail, it'd probably be wagging in interest. And then she'd startle herself by belching that hard.
  45. <Wilhelm_Faustus> More ice and more ice...while tedious he seems dedicated to the task.
  46. <Darkling> Lit leans back, second plate cleared.
  47. <Darkling> Ivy giggles at Raz, then offers her a cube.
  48. <Rasia> Rasia stares at the jiggling treat and eats it whole, swallowing. "Sweet."
  49. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja tilts her head, finding herself very strange at the moment. "It must be. It's orange."
  50. <Darkling> She offers one to Lahja as well.
  51. <Wilhelm_Faustus> There he is again with more ice, pausing to check the temperature of the water.
  52. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja takes it, making a ^_^ face. "Thank you, Ivy. I'll put this in a jar and keep it."
  53. <Darkling> "You're supposed to eat it!" She noms another one.
  54. <Wilhelm_Faustus> He mutters something and is off to get more ice.
  55. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "Eat it? I guess I could do that. I guess I'll keep the nutrients for a while anyway." Lahja pops it into her mouth with a feigned reluctance.
  56. <Darkling> Lit groans, stretching. "I think I need to retire after our trip and that meal."
  57. <Rasia> "Night!" And Rasia wins again. At the cost of a distended stomach.
  58. <Darkling> He shambles off to his room.
  59. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "Sleep well, sir." she lazily salutes Lit.
  60. <Wilhelm_Faustus> Now he's looking tired of carrying ice to the damn jacuzzi.
  61. <Rasia> Finally, Rasia gets to her feet. "Help?"
  62. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "Hm? No, go ahead and keep eating."
  63. <Rasia> "Both." Rasia demonstrates by stuffing a turkey leg in her mouth and taking the bucket.
  64. <Darkling> A phone rings, Ivy pulling it out of her pocket. "Hello?"
  65. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Close your eyes and think of solitary. Or a vivisection. Either one works. The latter is more interesting, but probably more prone to cause a smile. Not good.
  66. <Wilhelm_Faustus> He sighs and smiles helplessly. "Alright, lets go."
  67. <Darkling> "Are you sure it's okay?"
  68. <Darkling> She smiles. "Thanks!" Then hangs up.
  69. <Darkling> She turns to Lahja. "I've been told if you let me I can spend the night with you." she looks to be trying very hard to hide her excitement.
  70. <Rasia> Rasia occasionally stops to pick up more food between ice-runs, but she's tireless as ever.
  71. <Lahja_Ilvainen> No fear. No vomit. No crying. There's only candy. Delicious candy. And dresses. And guns. That little mental exercise goes on a few seconds longer before Lahja nods. "Why not? We have things to talk about."
  72. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "...thanks, Rasia." Wow, that must have been difficult to get out.
  73. <Rasia> :3
  74. <Darkling> "Good!" Another cube disappears in her mouth.
  75. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja opens her eyes, still reflecting on her training exercise. "I'm sorry about Corrin. You must have heard something about him, right?"
  76. <Darkling> She nods. "I did. I hope that he makes it back to this side of the living."
  77. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "Are you enjoying the trip, Rasia?"
  78. <Rasia> "Warm! See Ivy. ...everyone act strange."
  79. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "You think so?"
  80. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Room elephant banished. Lahja nods, remarkably calm now. "So do I. I have things to say to him. He told me about his last wishes at the dance, though."
  81. <Rasia> "Yes." Rasia is remarkably confident.
  82. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "Well, if you say so."
  83. <Darkling> "Did he now?"
  84. <Rasia> "Rasia act strange?"
  85. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "Not that I've noticed."
  86. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "He was worried about you and wanted me to make sure you were alright for the long term. I asked everyone that night. I think it's a great bonding activity." Lahja tries not to look too enthusiastic. "Do you have any last wishes?"
  87. <Rasia> The bucket pours out again. Kind of odd that Rasia didn't even question pouring ice into a jacuzzi...
  88. <Darkling> "Well, maybe, but I don't think I can share unless were have some privacy."
  89. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "One more bucket I think."
  90. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja looks mildly disappointed for whatever reason, but quickly brushes it aside and stands. "I see. Will curiosity kill Lahja like it did the cat? We'll have to see."
  91. <Rasia> Rasia nods, jogging off. She stops to look at Lahja and Ivy in the living room.
  92. <Darkling> "I think maybe I will go get changed for bed. If you join me maybe you can hear all about my wishes?" She gets up, a rather sly smile on her face.
  93. <Rasia> "..." Rasia seems intensely interested in Lahja's reply.
  94. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "I'll be right with you. I'll just say good night to Rasia and Wilhelm and I'll be right with you." Lahja smiles right back in a very ambiguous way before skipping over to Rasia.
  95. <Rasia> "?" Rasia cocks her head.
  96. <Darkling> Ivy almost hops away happily to Lahja's room.
  97. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja rather spontaneously decides to try to hug Rasia, oblivious of the bucket. "Rasia?"
  98. <Rasia> "Lahja?" Rasia decides to allow it, and even returns it weakly with her free arm.
  99. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "It's been very nice knowing you." and then she adds in a much lower tone. "Just in case."
  100. <Rasia> She nods quietly, still looking a little deer-in-headlights. "Rasia like Lahja."
  101. <Wilhelm_Faustus> Well, it's only one bucket. The boy starts to strip, carefully folding what clothing her takes off.
  102. <Lahja_Ilvainen> She relinquishes her hold over Rasia. "Good night. I just want to tell Wilhelm that too. Lead on?"
  103. <Rasia> Rasia points at the jacuzzi, running off for another bucket of ice.
  104. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja heads off in that direction, eventually blinking and staring blankly when she reaches Wilhelm.
  105. <Wilhelm_Faustus> He still has his pants on at least! Though the fading light offers a faint view of the glowing line along his pale skin. "...something you need?"
  106. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "I just wanted to say good night, Wilhelm. And it's been good knowing you and working with you." She gives Wilhelm a thumbs up.
  107. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "...uh huh. See you in the morning."
  108. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "Hopefully. I'll be catching up with Ivy now." She looks as if she was going to say something more, but stops and simply goes off to her room now.
  109. <Wilhelm_Faustus> He watches her go, then removes the rest of his clothing and slips into the jacuzzi. "...much better."
  110. <Rasia> Splash! The last bucket of ice. Rasia stares, realizing Wilhelm's... dresscode.
  111. <Darkling> Lahja's room is black, no light on, though there appears to be a slight glow coming from the bed under the sheet.
  112. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "Are you going to stare, or join me?" He slicks back his hair.
  113. <Rasia> Dunking her fist in, Rasia strips down and climbs in across from him, a shiver quickly settling in as her body is forced to split blood between digesting thousands of calories and keeping her body temperature up. "Wilhelm warm." She teases, laughing.
  114. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "I'll show you warm." He crosses the jacuzzi, smirking.
  115. <Rasia> A playful growl, and the camera fades.
  116. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Almost like solitary confinement. Just not so solitary. Lahja reflects on that as she makes her way over to the bed, slipping out of her clothes before she joins Ivy under the bed. "Ding ding ding! Dinner is served!"
  117. <Darkling> ===============
  118. <Darkling> Morning arrives, it seems that the curtains here do nothing to block out the light streaming in at... 6am. Lit raises with a grumble.
  119. <Rasia> Rasia perks up, unaffected by the hour as ever. Though the warmth of a morning sun makes her smile.
  120. <Wilhelm_Faustus> Wilhelm is still asleep, because keeping up with Rasia is still tough on him...not that he complains.
  121. <Darkling> Lit stumbles into the common room, led by his nose as breakfast is waiting, last night's feast cleared out.
  122. <Rasia> At least she isn't male, Wilhelm. Rasia stumbles out not long after, wearing one of the Aryan's shirts and yawning. "Sun early."
  123. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja wakes up, looking rather pensive. She feels around on the bed, and finding no one else in there she almost looks relieved. Then she checks her condition and blinks. "I'm alive!" She laughs, bordering on maniacal, and eventually spotting a note when she regains her composure. She reads it, tilting her head.
  124. <Darkling> Lit begins to load bacon heaps onto a plate whilst chewing on a strip.
  125. <Rasia> The dance begins again. Rasia goes for the grains and eggs.
  126. <Lahja_Ilvainen> Lahja doesn't look too terribly alarmed. After tidying up, dressing, and stashing the note she's off to join the others, giving them their lazy salute on entry. "Good morning everyone."
  127. <Darkling> BRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
  128. <Darkling> That noise is familiar, even here.
  129. <Lahja_Ilvainen> "Jotun?"
  130. <Rasia> A low growl, a pancake half-eaten.
  131. <Darkling> Rather hesitantly Lit sets down his plate of bacon.
  132. <Darkling> "Looks like we've work to do."
  133. <Darkling> Suddenly the wail cuts off and the hotel tremors., the horizon of the dome going askew a moment before settling back.
  134. <Darkling> "Raz, go get Wilhelm. Now."
  135. <Rasia> Rasia sprints off, grabbing Wilhelm, blanket and all, and hefts him like a sack of potatos whether he wakens or not. "Jotunn close!"
  136. <Darkling> Another small tremor, and what sounds like an explosion, some screams in the streets, smoke plumes filling the air in the distance.
  137. <Lahja_Ilvainen> How very surreal. Lahja takes it all in, smiling despite her efforts not to. It's all so very interesting.
  138. <Wilhelm_Faustus> Wilhelm appears, dressed if not quite his tidy self. "Oh...how wonderful."
  139. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "...you can put me down..."
  140. <Rasia> Rasia drops the boy to his feet, looking plenty antsy.
  141. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "Calm down." He pats her cheek. He's dressed well enough...though shirtless. He managed to slip on shorts before crashing, that's something.
  142. <Darkling> "Get dressed and let's go."
  143. <Wilhelm_Faustus> "I'll be fine." Damn, already sweating.
  144. <Darkling> "Let's move then." He heads for the door.
  145. <Darkling> ============END============
