A testament to the palace of a technological masterpiece... ... really needed signs. It was actually kind of confusing to navigate the place the way it was now. Most people often carried some kind of navigation device, be it magical relic or just a phone. Brock had a communicator but that was it. He couldn't really navigate using that because it wasn't really helpful for that purpose. It was mainly helpful for just being called into battle, and Brock knew where to go to get put into the next battle.

The Machina had both, the standard book and physical learning library as well as the digital version that could be accessed there. Either would've worked. Brock walked into the library, noticed it largely empty, and helped himself inside. The skeleton walked over to one of the shelves and began to browse it. [b][color=92278f]"There's gotta be somethin' in here that I can use to become stronger..."[/color][/b] There wasn't sugar coating it. Now that Abigail was out of his life, Bonesword had one real goal in mind. He wanted to get as strong as he could and fight as hard as he can. If he could truly become stronger, then his quest would be a success. Otherwise... he'd need a stiff drink for sure.

The atmosphere of the hive was more tense than normal, namely due to the sudden arrival of bee vampires, but Apia didn't mind them. The public didn't seem to either. All was well in the Honey Dimension. Except for Apia's appetite for blood. That was something not great. Although it was getting considerably weaker, it was still pretty great. At first it seemed like it was a giant hole in her stomach, but now it just seemed like she didn't really feel much other than a stomach ache and a slight headache. It was definitely lessening, but it was still a slow process of lessening. How do the big vampires do it? Bah, the queen had to get her mind off this feeling. Dwelling on it wasn't helping, and Apia needed to converse with someone to pass the time. A portal opened up in Apia's doorway as the queen grabbed her things and left the room, teleporting to just outside of Hell's throne room. Maybe she was needed? It'd get her mind off the feelings she was having at the moment.
