Current @Lady Amalthea, does that mean every post is a Horocrux?

Carla turned around and parked her butt in the seat previously occupied by the pilot of the ship. He'd barely been there for more than a few minutes, but even then, she couldn't help but feel a bit of residual body heat in the chair. It was kind of disgusting. Like putting on a sock somebody else was just wearing. Yes, nothing bad would come of it, but that didn't change the fact that it still felt gross and maybe slightly damp. Now properly situated, Carla rolled up the sleeve on her left arm, exposing the old burn scar that spanned across the length of her forearm.





Location: The Kitchen

Lionel, or more specifically, his arms were covered up to the elbow in a combination of salt, pepper, horse blood and probably a bit of human blood as well. Seasoning meat shouldn't be a difficult task, and yet nothing seemed to be going right. Oh those steaks got covered in salt all right, but in the process, he might have accidentally spilled half of the container, if not more. In between expletives, Lionel's mind had long since progressed from setting aside personal funds for real food to hiring a full-time chef for the vessel so he wouldn't have to fuck up in the kitchen anymore.

[color=9C6F6F]"Huh, did you go somewhere?" Lionel asked Gene, eyes focused on properly prepping the meat for cooking by pounding it vigorously. He had remembered a bit late that untenderized meat was tougher than his ex-wife's heart. So the first steak would probably be the worst of the bunch, thus handed off to Gideon. Hopefully the rest would turn out pretty good and shared among the rest of the crew.
Post for both Lionel and Carla tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest

Well everyone was getting all prepped for sleep or sleep-equivalents, if they were not unconscious already. Some seemed to have more trouble getting to a state of rest, tossing and turning, making more noise than the usual soft breathing or loud snoring. Cyne saw all these things and more. It seemed that their little group wasn't the only ones gearing up to sleep, in the distance Cyne spotted orcs similarly getting prepared to take watch or lie their heads down, the noise from earlier in the evening having mostly died down.

Although the impulse to sleep came over the majority of the creatures in the forest, humanoid or not, Cyneburg found herself completely awake. She was able to stare off into the forest without so much as a yawn. If her body needed to rest right now, it gave no indication of the sort.

Possible insomnia aside, she performed her duties on watch the same way she always did when she didn't have access to forms better suited to the task than her default state of being: She kept an eye on the people sleeping in case somebody woke up prematurely, kept an ear out for noise in the wilds surrounding her and poked at the fire to make sure it was still going. Ntaj might be the next person on watch, but thereafter would be six more people who were not fortunate enough to be blessed with inborn night vision. While on watch, she'd find herself gnawing on some leftover bones from some woodland creature that had been killed by Sana, but otherwise she'd sit and watch until it was Ntaj's turn to take watch.

Assuming nothing happened of course.

Something can always happen.
Too bad about Titanpad though

Carla didn't change her expression during the numerous things that occurred over the course of the next couple of minutes. The cold tone that Lieutenant Harper used, Jahosafat's warm but dishonest compliments and his direction to take a seat. She politely thanked the Doctor for his words and strode over to the nearby chair and sat down, with her legs crossed. Unlike Harper's tone and body language, she did not act cold toward either of the men. A better word would be "bored" or "disinterested." Her eyes did briefly flit over to the pulled up sleeve of the pilot's shirt, most notably the material with which his undershirt was comprised, but that was the biggest reaction she had.

Despite herself, Carla found herself waiting with her nails in her mouth, teeth working busily to trim them down. With Harper eager to leave, Carla stepped up to stand "in line" behind him, while she wiped her saliva covered nails clean on her pants. No need to sit around wasting time with standard blood tests.
@Lady Amalthea Cyne has first watch


Location: Public Records building




"That actually works as a good transition to a point I've been wanting to bring up," Mali said, straightening her posture and folding her arms over her chest. "See, I haven't just been sitting around on my ass all week. I don't know about the depths of your networking, but I'm more or less alone in Justice. That's a really vulnerable position for me, so I've been looking into setting up some alliances in the area other than yourself. The first place I decided to start looking was Boston Heights. I figured that given the amount of weird shit surrounding the buildings, there are probably still happenings going on there. As for how I got access to some of this info..."
A loud thud sound filled the empty halls of the Rose Building as the landlord's body was slammed directly into the wall of the lobby. The collar of his shirt was bunched up in the iron grip of Mali's hand. Although the noise was loud, neither the wall was damaged, nor the man was harmed. Mali's entire body was tense, muscles rippling, veins popping, her face a twisted visage of wrath. Words shot from her mouth like bullets; each one containing more than its fair share of energy and intensity, but also uttered with utmost deliberation.

"Look you jackass, you're lucky I'm still even around to pay you rent. After the way you reacted to your tenant's apartment being broken into and the mystery vanishing of everyone in my building, I don't think anyone would blame me for moving out and leaving your ass with a worthless building sucking revenue away from you. Who'd want to move into the apartment complex where seven people died and three more disappeared in one week? Fucking nobody. All I want to know is who else lives in this apartment complex. Tell me that, and you get to walk away with everything intact."
"So I did a bit of research into the occupants of the building and found a few people who could end up as useful allies. Caesar Gonzalez, Mexican police officer turned federal agent turned multinational security CEO. He could be part of this conspiracy, but his daughters were two of the Boston Massacred. So he's either a sick bastard, or definitely going to be in a position of wanting some revenge. If anyone could get us inside a big company like Queensguard, literally or figuratively it'd probably be him. JD Mason, nosy bitch, Peyton Glenross' girlfriend and working for Channel 4 right now. Her journalist credentials could help with getting information straight from the source, and her nosiness definitely indicates that she probably isn't in on the conspiracy, but she's in a low level position and I haven't been able to find her at all. She's not missing, but I can't seem to get ahold of her. Cecily Ashworth, forensic scientist who's now head of the county when it comes to coronation. No, that's not the word. She's head coroner now. Probably not in the fold, but I don't think she'd be much help for this particular job, assuming she would even ally with us. But she's a possible resource to draw on later." Man Mali was doing a lot of talking today. The dusty Public Record Building air was starting to irritate her throat.

"Again, no offense is intended, but brokering goodwill between former allies is a much different, more difficult task thatn simply avoiding accruing foes yourself. And just because we haven't run into any real trouble aside from the orcs doesn't mean we won't. We have no idea the full extent of the numbers, powers or knowledge the enemy possesses." Cyneburg took another puff from her pipe, holding her tongue from loosing the rest of the thought she had had: And thinking you can just easily handle anything you run into just because you've been able to up until now reeks of hubris.

"Although we have reached an understanding with the orcs, they rightfully do not trust us, and I doubt they would take kindly to squatters. But you are obviously not going to be talked out of this. If the rest of the group is going to follow behind you two, I am less opposed to the plan you've laid out. I'll be staying back here anyways, so it's not like I really have a say in how the rest of you wish to travel." Cyne relaxed, leaning back into something a bit closer to a lounge than a proper sitting position.

"Ntaj, I'll be sure to wake you up once my shift is over." As Ntaj undressed, she shifted her position so as to keep him visible in her peripheral vision the whole time without it being overt. Nice.
Waiting on @Sigil before posting for Carla
