Sarah gave a soft flinch to the hug. Though within seconds she had already melted into her. It was odd to her, but it was nice. No human could ever deny that. She began to feel somewhat normal again, in terms of physiology anyway. The sparking in her eyes seemed to dull as the world seemed to come back to her. The mash of colours no longer looking like someone took a magnet to a CRT screen. Just like a tv after someone took a magnet to it. "[b][i]Thanks....[/i][/b]", she replied meekly. It was a little difficult for her to say anything else. She meant it. Turning her head to her comrade, it cocked slightly at the statement. Yeah, she did remember that. That was a strange thing in itself. The OSU were masters at doublethink. She soaked up the information. It was kind of strange though, in her head all she could remember was that the dogs in the Kamdeshi region were blowing up children. That was nothing in comparison to the bizarre propaganda they famed themselves on. "[b]Well, it must feel homely then.[/b]", a half smile appeared on her face as she compared her rebel days to the panthers. Her arms tightened around her legs however as she saw the pain flash across her friends face. A pain she knew all too well, if she didn't block it out with factor 5000. "[b]Huh...You don't change do you...[/b]", she replied softly, her mood having perked some. Marlene was as pragmatic as they came. That and she thought it kind of cute that she didn't want to replace him. Mind, it wasn't like half of Mr. B wasn't forced into her newest iteration of him. 

"[b]I remember that...It was a nice night...[/b]", when in all realities four men had left the bar that night, only three testicles went with them. "[b]That was never confirmed....I told you, the arm came off.... in my hands...and I was just...trying to get it back on...[/b]", she gave a soft chuckle as she tried to lie her way out of it. "[b]Marlene...thanks[/b]", she said softly and moved to squeeze the breath out of her. "[b]NIIICE....[/b]", she said with a somewhat renewed vigour. "[b]Please tell me that you left some forest for me?[/b]", she said standing, Sarah wasn't bounding, just walking to go and let off some shells. "[b]Ten credits I can hit that bouy![/b]", the last thing she could have thought was whether or not that bouy had been important or not. As it soon ceased to exist.
