Someone was taking her shackles off. A slave lord who had been passing through bought Tulla, and he liked to tame his purchases himself. Her limbs were free and she felt herself being pulled up to a sitting position. Tulla winced andnthe smell of his hot breath against her face and with a sloppy but solid swing, she punched him in the face. Madame listened to Robert intently, coilong hair around her finger as she did so. The woman shrunk behind Zaddion, clearly weary of Adrass and his kind "Anything will do. Madame used to work for a district lord in Ka'taan but was exiled to Illia lomg ago. She has been trying to get into Lady Valentines good graces ever since. Against an attack, they are hopelessly unprepared. This is why they chose here, where people barely travel. I will go and leave the back door open for you, easy entry and everyone will mostly be upstairs. " She slunk off quickly, disappearing into the shadows.

Tora woke up well enough once the cold water hit her. Adter she was done and ready, she walked out to Nico rubbing her eye"Okay...I guess this is a lazy day for me. Not off to a good start." Rikku thought for a moment "A movie would be nice." She gave him a small smirk as she passed by him into the building, brushing her shoulder against his chest in passing.

Madame came downstairs carrying Serrafinno and set him down, placing a crate over him. "Hades? Him? What possible importance could you have that he would do such a thing? If we were to let you go, then im very sure my acquaintance would be very much sore about it. Especially since she has quite a distaste for Mr.Hades!" The Madame sneered. Tulla could tell there was someone in her room and her alarms went off. Once again she strained against the braces, feebly calling out to Tugg.

"Ugh...just drag me into the shower and turn the cold water on..." she poked up her hand and grabbed his. She tried her best to climb over the mattress but was far too sleepy to really have a hold on it, so she slipped back down to the floor, still holding on to Nicos hand. "Ugh..."

"You..." Tanya pointed to L337 "Be quiet." Tanya stepped farther away from the hallway, eyes glued to the ceiling and grabbed Dylan by the arm "We need to go. Now." She looked at the others "Coming? Or are you sticking around to find out what the hell that was?" Tanya felt hopelessly unprepared.

Rikku smiled and placed a soft kiss on Victors cheek "Thank you." They walked off into the elevator to start thier way to Ransen. She was trembling with nervousness. Tora flailed and rolled off the bed, taking the sheets with her. "I don't wanna get up yet." She complained from the floor.

"They won't be expecting us" the woman said. A fat man looked down at Helena, taking in his prize. The maid scoffed "We've heard all these things before! You all end up feed for the pigs soon enough!" The man yelled in pain when the dragons teeth sunk into his crotch. Madame scrambled after Serrafinno, wrapping his legs taut underneath his belly and his snout with the fire cloth. Maids rushed in to help the injured man. Whisper barely stirred in her sleep.

Tanya took the approach more carefully, wondering if Dylan had heard the voice in his mind as well. With the precautions this kid was taking, he'd end up right in the face of danger. She inwardly sighed; hoping internally that he didn't remember her name. It would make it easier if anything happened. "Wai-" she stared. But Dylan turned the corner.

Tora slept soundly, a pillow covering her face to help muffle the snores. Rikku had gotten up early for a jog around the coastline. She came back before Victor had woken up and took a shower. Rikku met him at the door with recently dried hair and smiled "Morning, are you excited to go? I am a little nervous."

"Mnh...no names. Later. We have to keep moving, im tired of these damn hallways." She placed her hand on a cocked hip and kept looking around. "See anything on your way up? Any idea where we should go?" Tanya glanced over at Dylan, taking him in. She was getting steadily more and more nervous with each passing hour. Or however long it had been, and she had yet to encounter an alien.

The girl led him to the stables, where all the animals lay dead asleep. Tugg didn't even raise his head when she helped Zaddion hobble in. "It'll take a while for it to clear your head, I had to fashion that crudely." She sat him down and crouched next to him. "I'm helping you because you helped me too. Repayment. Get it out of the way and all that. But we need to come up with some sort of idea for your companions. You're very adapt at magic and they are not mages, just ordinary, sick and crazy women." She had a thick foreign accent but spoke wisely. Tulla stirred and tried to rise, the muscles in her arms braced against the cold steel "Wha...what was that...". Sleep still clung to her, the drug making her feel heavy. Whisper pleasantly stayed asleep, locked in her fufilling dreams. Whisper was never one to hide from something she loved or wanted and so, fully embraced the enchanting dream. If she could, she would never wake up. A maid looked over at Dresden and grabbed him by the cheeks "You pigs will be slaughtered like the animals you are. Fortunately, your friend there will be kept as a personal slave for madame." She smiled evilly. As Serrafinno bristled and readied for attack. Madame crept up slowly behind him; carrying a fire cloth between her hands, ready to bag him.

Tanya looked over Dylan and sighed "You got any weapons? Anything?" During her extensive walk she had been keeping anneye out for anything useful. If she was indeed aboard an alien ship, she didn't want to be caught unaware by a foreign species. She had only come across a few loose wires and screws, nothing good.

"I was being rhetorical..." Tanya answered wearily. SIRI glowed for a few seconds. "Next time, I will ask if yyou are being 'rhetorical' at the next instance." She kept walking slowly, taking in her surroundings. "Is there anyone else near me? Or am I alone?" It beeped "There is currently one human in your immediate vicinity. Do you wish to avoid?" "No...no, let's find them."

When Tanya awoke, she jumped at the sight of the ball hovering above her. It was a bit scuffed and had a deep orange glow. It began to drone on, informing her about where she was and what was happening. She clenched her eyes shut and pinched the bridge of her nose, she didn't want to know anything more. Tanya stood, using the wall as balance and began walking. She didn't want to speak to the thing. "I must be hallucinating."

(Your characters can wake up) *"What did you think Jaiden did to me? A fragile, naive princess who trusts everybody? Can you imagine?" She leaned forward, coming closer to him. "Andalasia fell to Illia. You helped develop the technology to do so. You...you have so many questions you already know the answer to Clarke, do not be blind." Whisper pressed her hand against his. "I could have given you everything if only you asked..."* *The assassin turned to leave the house and I sighed knowing that he hadn't gotten the message. Neither of us had never been very good at talking things out, guess I had to do this the hard way. As he stepped outside I was there and he stepped right into my outstretched hand, it clutched around his throat. I stared into my own passionless eyes then spit into them to blind him before yanking him by the throat to slam him head first into the doorframe to stun him. It split his scalp and blood began to flow down his forehead, "I'm not going to let you bury me away in this forgotten house. You're not leaving to do that to me again, I won't let you." I threw him back send him tumbling across the floor, following and kicking him as he went, "you remember that so fondly but won't let yourself make any more good memories, and you spit on our fathers grave everyday! We don't kill for sport but to survive, remember his words?! You've made a mockery of him, you kill for a job or as a goal. That's not enough." I drew my sword looking down at myself bleeding on the floor, "You want to die, I want to live; to really LIVE, not whatever it is you do everyday. So I'm going to kill you, like dad said I should, I'll kill to survive." I stepped back to giving him space to stand and ready himself for a fight. We were equally skilled, but he was already wounded now and didn't have the desire and drive behind his fight like I did. He was already dead but I'd give him one last chance to see if he wanted to live. I readied my blade, "The disposable assassin doesn't leave this dream only the desperate survivor clinging to life and we both know which one of us that is."* The girl watched Zaddion drink "We need to get you out of here. Then come back for your friends. Come."

Her eyes were dead as she watched her town burn with riots and chaos. Tanya leaned back against her bag, legs dangling over the cliff face. Families and couples stood around her, crying and praying. Some even choosing to hurl themselves off the cliff. She pushed the thought of her parents feom her mind; they had to be dead already. The xomet came and she squinted up as the ball of fire engulfed the sky in flames. She blinked. A blue light. A sucking feeling. Tanya blinked again, she xould only make out strange glowing symbols. Tanya stumbled back against the cold steel wall and slid down, passing out.
