Kalon IV Adrian V

[17:49] Katrin awakens from a nice, pleasant nap. And someone on the bench beside her.

"Oh, hey there, Kal, what's-"

She stops. She blinks. That's definitely not Kalon. The artificer sits up straighter and scratches at her neck. Damn her suspiciously large blood reservoirs; should've known this was coming.

"Mister Adrian! Good to see ya. How ya been?"
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:50] IT WAS TIME.

After shooing off Alucard, Adrian takes a seat next to Katrin. Much to his dismay, the act wakes up Katrin.

"Ah, hello Katrin." His eyes shift, and soon they stare at her. Or rather, her neck.

"I believe it's time for the next part of our deal, yes?" He states, before getting up from the bench. A hand extends, a gesture for her to take it.

"Come along now."
(Adrian Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:56] Yep. That's what he was here for. Of course. Everything was a bargain, at the end of the day. Especially this. The artificer has no illusions about it. That didn't mean it didn't make her skin crawl as he eyeballed her neck.

"Right, right...Course."

She hesitates to take the hand, having some misgivings over the gesture, but puts her in his, allowing it all the same.

"Lead the way, mister Adrian."
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:56] Katrin says, "Just be tender 'round my shoulder, yeah? Got a nasty bite the other day..."
[17:56] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Oh, by the way."
[17:57] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Hold onto your lunch."
[17:57] Katrin asks, "My...lunch?"
[17:57] Katrin says, "'Scuse me-"
[17:57] Katrin says, "Hrk..."
[17:58] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Can't say I didn't warn you."
[17:58] Katrin says, "That...I ain't get how ya stand that, sir."
[18:02] "Yes, well. You get used to it."

That was a lie. Even now he could feel his stomach churning. However, that soon passes when he looks at the delectable meal standing before him. For too long he had engorged himself on the blood of mutants and the bottom of the barrel. Katrin's blood had quickly become his favourite, given it's fiery taste.

"And do not worry, my dear Katrin. I will be gentle. I take the utmost caution when feeding on those who come willingly. You just need to relax, and enjoy the sensations..."

"And the gift that comes afterwards."

For he knew that despite how she felt about him feeding, the euphoria she received from his own blood was without equal. It was a fair trade, all things considered.

"Now come. It is time to fulfil the first half of our arrangement."
(Adrian Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:08] Even though the art was fascinating, from a technical standpoint, she had absolutely no desire to learn it. She had no desire to feel like she was about to puke every time she wanted to take a jaunt through a tear in the lifestream. Hard pass.

It was hard to hide it, that craving for getting that blood in turn. Katrin doesn't even bother at this point. Not here in the secluded manse. Why try? The reed was nice now and then, the Sylvanium was too expensive, but this? There had been no parallel she could dream of. Already the artificer licks her lips.

"Right, right...Just don't get rough- wait. First half?"

Really, she ought to have read the fine print better. As if there had ever been any print at all.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:14] "Yes, the first half."

Adrian begins to approach Katrin with a speed and grace that was nearly unmatched. Before she could even consider running, a hand wrapped around her back and pulled the artificer into a half-embrace.

"I told you that I would give you power, did I not? That I would elevate you into something beyond a lowly street urchin? All these feedings. All those times you drank deep of my blood, it was to prepare you for this moment. My blood has changed you, my dear. Changed you for the better."

And then, as if without warning, Adrian's fangs emerge from the corners of his mouth, and he bites deep into Katrin's neck. As usual, there is a brief moment of pain as the fangs cut through flesh, but it is soon replaced with euphoria as the bite began to take hold.

But this time, it was noticeably more gentle.

Unlike the past few feedings, Adrian was no longer on the brink of starvation. No, he had fed rather well over the last few months, and so more self control is shown when feeding upon the unfortunate Drakanite.

It is a slow, almost agonizing process before Adrian finally detaches from Katrin's neck. He carefully lowers her down to a sitting position on the ground before taking a step back.

"Truly delicious. Drakanite blood truly has become my preferred blood. Such spice, with just a touch of greed." The blood is wiped off from the corners of his mouth, and soon his gauntlet is removed. A blade is produced once more and ran across his wrist, causing his corrupted blood to begin to leak from the wound.

"Now come. Drink deep, and become something more."
(Adrian Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:15] ** Adrian Ivanovich has inflicted an injury upon Katrin. ("Vampire Bite", "Puncture wounds congeal with distorted energy, resonant with depraved power that keeps the infliction from fully closing. A poison spreads in feverish decay throughout your body that harshly hinders the healing process.", "Temporary", "") **
[18:21] A part of her brain always considered running. It was a hard instinct to fully suppress. Being advanced on by a predator, teeth bared, knowing what's to come. Only a fool wouldn't.

And fool is she, as she remains there regardless. No wonder the last time she was given an honest hug it felt so strange, so alien; perhaps somewhere in her mind she'd come to associate it not with caring and tenderness, but with this very act.

"Ya did. I recall somethin' to that affect," she replies cautiously. With that Katrin begins to ponder. She had been more reckless, more prone to having a spine than the Katrin of old-

Before she can think on it too much further she feels the familiar sensation of teeth in her neck, pain, then shortly after, bliss. The process is slow, yet it hardly registers as a blip on her radar. Her thoughts puddle and ooze as she becomes docile. Adrian partakes of her blood, mixed with her avarice, her considerable ambition, and impetuousness. Since he keeps coming back, it must be a heady cocktail.

The smell of that familiar dark liquor brings her to just enough to latch onto his wrist. Drink deep she does, ravenously.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[18:29] {Item} You drop Leather x1.
[18:29] Katrin bought Mana Amnesia for 1800c from Enchants and Potions!
[18:31] {Item} You picked up Crimson Reed..
[18:51] And so, she fed.

The dark blood that poured out from Adrians arm is freely given to Katrin. In fact, there is more than usual; much more. It flows from his wrist like a faucet, flowing into Katrin's body and infusing itself with every cell in her body. It is a heady drug with no known comparison, pure distilled life, stolen from countless others. It was the gift of life, just as much as it was the curse of death.

And yet it was so intoxicating.

But as the blood flows into Katrin, something begins to change. While it still had the euphoria all the same; if not even stronger, there is something strange. A sharp pain shoots through her heart, as it begins to slow, before suddenly racing. It would be a disorienting experience as her very body begins to die. Organs begin to shut down, her mind grows distant.

And it hangs on through the cursed blood of Caine, as it knits itself into her very being.

A part of her had died this day, and was replaced with something greater.

And with it came a euphoria that put the previous feedings to shame.

Soon, the flow of blood comes from a halt which causes Adrian to pull his arm back. The wound cut into his flesh heals almost instantly, and there is a large grin on his face.

"So tell me, my dear Katrin. How do you feel?"
(Adrian Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:01] She's left to feast, to drink, for much longer than usual. It's the most she's been given at once. The taste of stolen life, so sweet, so alluring, that no substance could surely be its equal. Katrin would be a fool not to take as much as she could and enjoy it while it lasts.

The artificer is ignorant to the change. That is, until there's a stabbing in her heart as it lurches, limps like a wounded beast, then regains its footing and races harder than it ever has in its comparatively short life. The sudden rush is not unlike stepping through one of those rift gates, except with less nausea. Her brain swims, as if doing somersaults in her skull, then grows still.

There is a golden twinkle in her eye that dims for a moment as part of some great cosmic candle flame begins to gutter and sputter. Something deep within Katrin begins its death throes. Perhaps its swan song.

Katrin doesn't care. She feels that fantastic high redouble, grow greater, and that feeling of invincibility with it. The whites around her eyes fade into black, turning her golden irises into twin coins in the inky depths of night.

There's a token resistance as Adrian tries to retrieve his arm, then she thinks better of it in the face of this...this gift. She looks to Adrian with a grin, one far too wide, far too sharp to have been hers from moments ago. Her heart still hammers, her blood boiling, as her body straddles the finest line that exists between life and death. Sweat's begun to bead at her brow.

"I feel...I feel f***in' AMAZING!" she nearly howls, adding in sharp laughter. "Sweet stars n' stones I've NEVER felt better!"
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:10] "Of course you do."

He has been in this exact position before. He knows all too well the allures and addiction that comes with the tainted blood. Of the euphoria and sheer power it brings once enough was imbibed. It brings a change that could not be compared.

And in some ways, it was divine.

"I am called many things, my dear. Leech. Monster. Abomination. But one thing I am not, is a liar." Adrians hand extends and cups itself just below Katrin's chin. There is an almost unsettling gaze between the two, as Adrian stares at her no longer as a easy meal; but as a useful servant.

"I promised you power, and I have delivered. I assured you that you would evolve into something greater, and you have. Rejoice, my dear Katrin. Rejoice, for you have stepped behind the veil and been blessed by the blood of Caine."

His hand is removed, and Adrian stands up straight. A large grin forms across his visage.

"Now rise, Katrin..."

There is a brief pause.

"Or should I say, Katrin Ivanovich."
(Adrian Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:17] It was probably the closest to divinity, to religion, that the artificer might ever truly get. She can feel her connection with the stars begin to wane; this was far more palpable, potent, and real. It was right here, after all, making her blood pump and giving her that blessed rush.

Katrin looks up as her chin is cupped with a strange sense of delicateness. Tact. Those golden-coins-in-ink stare right back up at the Lord. Yet, for once, she does not feel hunger in that stare. She climbs another rung up the ladder in that regard.

"Ya did...Gotta give it to you. Ya did."

She'd stumbled, she'd fallen, as some halfblooded something (the prominent half of which she had never been particularly proud of), but rises as something far, far greater. Even with the loss of blood, there's the feeling that nothing can stop her. Not that she didn't already have a surfeit of ambition.

As she rises she keeps her head bowed. An absolutely rare gesture of supplication from her. Almost unheard of.

"Ya kept your word, Lord Adrian. And I gotta' thank ya for that."
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:23] "No, my dear Katrin. Thank you."

"It is your blood that has kept me sustained for years now. And while the blood of those treacherous Shadowmire mutants have supplemented my diet, you have provided my favourite meals." It is undoubtedly unnerving to be spoke as if she was a meal, but it was something she should've expected from a lifeless Vampire.

"Regardless, once you've patched yourself and come down from your euphoria, I have a job for you."

It seems she wasn't given too much time to enjoy her high, sadly.

"I need eyes and ears around Esshar. Far too many wish me dead just for existing, so roaming and listening in has become... Difficult. But you? A roaming artificer who nobody pays attention to?" Harsh. "You are perfect to serve that purpose."

There is a faint smirk.

"So if you hear any faint details, or come across any interesting information, you will relay it back to me."

"Will that be a problem?"
(Adrian Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:32]
{LOAD GAME}

[19:32] She's gotten used to that particular verbiage. A food source, but now elevated to something just beyond. He had kept his word, and that already put him above many on this damnable rock.

Katrin licks her chops, as if to taste the last lingering traces of the blood on her teeth. A few last morsels. Regardless, the high persists. Then he has to go and ruin her buzz.

There's the faintest flinch. He's not wrong. It's something she's known herself. The only time an artificer was noticed was when someone wanted something. It was seldom her company, and even then they had only ever wanted that after she'd made herself outwardly attractive. It was all about advertising and appearances. They cared not for who or what she was, but what she could offer them.

What a cold reality it was.

"You're in luck..." she drawls thickly, swimming through her stupor. The artificer relocates herself to a stool and hunches over thebar, still wheezing as if from exertion.

"Got a few things I can pass 'long now, actually. An opportunity to keep eyes on the Docros, maybe...and a potential meal for ya and Kal."
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:33] Adrian Ivanovich asks, "Oh...?"
[19:35] Katrin says, "Heard the Docros were lookin' for Sylvanum pushers."
[19:35] Katrin says, "One of those...rats said 'bout puttin' in a good word for me."
[19:35] Katrin says, "As for the meal..."
[19:35] Katrin says, "Lil' Osronan cadet. Was captive a while back."
[19:36] Katrin says, "I warned 'im. But he said he wants to take me out for a drink. Figure I could lure 'im out. "
[19:36] Adrian Ivanovich says, "I'm sure Kalon would love an easy meal."
[19:38] Katrin says, "He had ya in mind for it, actually. Since his huntin's been pretty successful."
[19:38] Katrin says, "But...if you ain't want it. Could save it for Kal."
[19:39] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Perhaps. It will go to a good cause either way."
[19:40] Adrian Ivanovich says, "I'm impressed that you've already considered this."
[19:40] Adrian Ivanovich says, "You truly were the right choice..."
[19:40] Katrin says, "I come from merchants n' mercs, sir..."
[19:40] Katrin says, "And I know most of those people? They ain't give a damn about me."
[19:41] Katrin says, "Everybody wants somethin', Lord Adrian. Just takes the 'monsters' to be honest 'bout it."
[19:42] Adrian Ivanovich asks, "It is rather surprising, isn't it?"
[19:43] Adrian Ivanovich says, "That the creatures that lurk in the dark are the most truthful things you encounter."
[19:43] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Perhaps it's because we do not hide behind a mask."
[19:46] Katrin says, "More surprisin' than I care to admit, Lord Adrian."
[19:46] Katrin says, "If I think 'bout it too much, it'll kill this buzz I got goin'."
[19:47] Katrin says, "But eyes and ears...can do that. Yeah."
[19:47] Katrin says, "I'll let Kal know the meal's his if he wants it."
[19:48] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Excellent."
[19:50] Katrin asks, "Anything else for ya, Lord?"
[19:51] Adrian Ivanovich says, "No, that will be all for now."
[19:55] Katrin says, "Then ya know how to call me if ya need anything, Lord Adrian."
[19:55] Katrin says, "Always a letter away."
[19:56] Adrian Ivanovich says, "I'll bring us back to Achyon, for now."
[19:56] Katrin exclaims, "Great!"
[19:56] Katrin says, "I'm ready for it this time."
[19:57] Katrin says, "Thank ya, sir. Ya have a nice night."
[19:58] Katrin says, "Hope ya enjoyed your meal."
[19:58] Altin Eidu says, "a"
[19:58] {Item} You drop Shades - Blacked.
[19:59] Katrin exclaims, "-Speakin' of devils!"
[19:59] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Hello."
[19:59] Katrin exclaims, "KAL!"
[19:59] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Hi."
[19:59] Katrin walks right up, smooshing his face with just a little TOO much energy.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:00] Katrin says, "Good news I feel f***in' GREAT and got a MEAL lined up for ya! "
[20:00] Katrin says, "If ya want it, 'course."
[20:00] Kalon apparently had his face smooshed.
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:00] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Hm..? Oh, sure."
[20:01] Katrin says, "That fella I told ya 'bout? Lord Adrian ain't want him."
[20:01] Kalon Ivanovich asks, "Why not?"
[20:01] Katrin says, "So let me know when you want to get huntin'. And I can set somethin' up."
[20:01] Adrian Ivanovich says, "I just ate."
[20:01] Kalon Ivanovich says, "I should be finished recovering... Soonish."
[20:01] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Ah."
[20:01] Katrin says, "'Course. I can keep the ruse goin' for a minute."
[20:02] Katrin says, "Take your tiiiime."
[20:02] Kalon Ivanovich says, "I will."
[20:02] Katrin asks, "...Your face is soft, do ya moisturize, Kal?"
[20:02] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Sometimes."
[20:02] Katrin gives another smoosh. For effect.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:02] Katrin exclaims, "Huh!"
[20:03] Kalon blinks, as his face is once again smooshed.
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:03] Katrin says, "WELL! That's all, honestly. You say when's good, I can get it goin'."
[20:03] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Sure, sure."
[20:03] Katrin relinquishes control of Kalon's face. It goes further unmolested.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:03] Kalon was safe! For now...
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:04] Katrin asks, "Boy, ain't it just...ain't it just a NICE night!?"
[20:04] Kalon glances up at the sky, before slowly nodding his head.
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:04] Kalon Ivanovich says, "It is rather nice, yes."
[20:04] Katrin starts shoving leaves in Kalon's pockets while he's looking up. Seemed like a good idea at the time. For some reason.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:04] {Item} You drop Alessa x13.
[20:05] Kalon didn't even notice the leaves getting jammed into his pockets. He was far too busy staring at the sky. It was nice. Very nice.
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:06] Adrian Ivanovich says, "I... May have given her too much."
[20:06] Katrin exclaims, "NOPE!"
[20:06] Katrin exclaims, "No such thing!"
[20:06] Katrin exclaims, "Really! Honest! It's GOOD!"
[20:06] Kalon Ivanovich asks, "...Did I ever get like this?"
[20:06] Kalon Ivanovich says, "I feel like I did."
[20:07] Katrin is absolutely cracked out of her gourd. If she weren't weighed down by all the armor under her fancy duds she might be oscillating at dangerous frequencies.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:07] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Yes."
[20:07] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Yes you did."
[20:08] Adrian Ivanovich says, "But to be fair."
[20:08] Adrian Ivanovich says, "..."
[20:08] Adrian Ivanovich says, "So did I."
[20:08] Katrin is actually undergoing, apparently, a great right of passage.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "That doesn't surprise me."
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "I imagine I started... Speed cleaning."
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Didn't I/"
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich asks, "*?"
[20:09] Adrian Ivanovich says, "The bridge is still spotless to this day."
[20:09] Katrin exclaims, "I feel like I could...Like I could outfit an ARMY!"
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "You probably could."
[20:09] Katrin exclaims, "I don't WANNA, because all the armies SUCK. But I COULD!"
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "please"
[20:09] Adrian Ivanovich says, "...Except the underside."
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "please"
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "don't talk about the bridge"
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "again"
[20:09] Kalon Ivanovich says, "that was a dark time in my life"
[20:09] Katrin asks, "Which bridge!?"
[20:09] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Ah... That's a long story."
[20:09] Adrian Ivanovich says, "Another time."
[20:10] Kalon Ivanovich says, "The Baleford bridge."
[20:10] Katrin asks, "These. These bridges got NAMES?"
[20:10] Kalon Ivanovich says, "One of them does."
[20:10] Katrin asks, "THEY'VE GOT NAMES!?"
[20:10] Adrian Ivanovich says, "They when whole armies fight over them, yes."
[20:11] Katrin says, "THAT. Makes more sense. Yeah, yeah."
[20:12] Katrin exclaims, "...KAL!"
[20:12] Katrin asks, "Jewelry. Do ya wear jewelry?"
[20:12] Katrin asks, "Like rings n' shit?"
[20:13] Adrian Ivanovich says, "can you make me a water 4"
[20:13] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Yes. I have uhh..."
[20:13] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Earrings, and a ring."
[20:13] Katrin makes grabby hands.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] Katrin says, "Lemme see. Lemme see."
[20:14] Kalon Ivanovich says, "...Okay."
[20:15] Kalon slips the ring off of one of his fingers, and carefully removes the earrings from his- Ears, obviously.
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:15] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Here."
[20:15] Kalon Ivanovich says, "Oh, and an amulet too, I guess."
[20:15] Kalon removes that as well, cause f*** it why not?
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:18] Katrin takes the bits of jewelry, looking them over with a set of critical, absolutely bloodshot eyes. She looks absolutely displeased about something before passing them back, furiously tapping one of her feet.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:19] Kalon scoops up all of his assorted jewelry, and begins the painstaking process of putting them all back on. Okay, okay, it's not painstaking in the slightest, but it does take like, maybe thirty seconds.

Tops.

"Something wrong?"
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:20] Katrin says, "That necklace ain't garbage...But I bet -I- could do better. Ain't even that GOOD."
[20:21] Katrin says, "I've seen that lil' f***in' 'S' thing on SO MUCH SHIT."
[20:21] Katrin exclaims, "It doesn't even got any STYLE!!"
[20:21] Katrin exclaims, "No -SOUL-!"
[20:22] Katrin evidently channels her considerable surplus of crackhead energy into being furious about this gods-damned necklace. Why? Maybe there's not even a real good reason.
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:24] Kalon slowly shrugs his shoulders, as he briefly taps his amulet.
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:25] Kalon Ivanovich says, "It was cheap, and I was in need of more power, so I bought it."
[20:25] Kalon Ivanovich says, "This was... Nearly a decade ago, I think."
[20:25] Katrin exclaims, "Cheap...CHEAP!? Ya -can't- cheap out on somethin' like that!!"
[20:25] Katrin exclaims, "AGH!"
[20:26] Adrian is munching on some confectionary as he watches the exchange.
(Adrian Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:27] Kalon Ivanovich says, "I."
[20:27] Kalon Ivanovich says, "I mean, it's too late now."
[20:27] Kalon Ivanovich says, "I've worn it for years now, it's far too late for regrets."
[20:27] Kalon Ivanovich says, "And I'm pretty sure I can't return it now, even if I wanted to."
[20:31] Katrin steps up, teeth clenched, and gives Kalon a pretty hefty jostling out of sheer frustration and pent up energy.

"You're...You're a BEAUTIFUL IDIOT. But an IDIOT!"
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:33] The Vampire slowly tilts his head to the side, before shrugging, as he witnessed the Artificers apparent rage at his stupidity.

"I'm very aware of what I am."
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:36] "Okay...Okay. Good! Good."

She looks like she's calming down. Temporarily. The shaking starts to slow down considerably, stops, then the cracked out artificer pats his cheek and grins. Katrin leans in to try and kiss his forehead then just...

Goes wandering off somewhere?
(Katrin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:38] "So long as we're on the same page."

Apparently admitting to his shortcomings had resulted in the artificer calming down! Hurray for that- And then his cheeks were patted, and before he could say anything, the woman had planted a kiss on his forehead.

Right, she was taller than him, wasn't she?

Aaaand, then she leaves.

"Huh." As he watches her waltz on off, the Ivanovich would call out. "Swing back around the club later. Dinners on me."
(Kalon Ivanovich)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:39] Katrin exclaims, "Yeah!? Yeah. Yeah! Okay! I'llll...be back 'round later! Promise!"
[20:42] Katrin exclaims, "ARTIFICER!"
[20:42] Katrin exclaims, "ARTIFICER, COOOOMIN' THROUGH!"
[20:42] Katrin comes in, absolutely hollering at the top of her lungs.
(Katrin)
