🦄 Soulless Regency - Merged With T.S.

---

---

---

Location: Almack's

---

---

It took her perhaps a second to recognize the veiled woman as her dear friend. They had trained together in the colonies, and although they did not see each other in London as often as Virginia would care for, her voice was a familiar one to her. The black gown suited dear Mosi, of course, yet Virginia felt that it masked the woman's spirit. It erased her personality, likely a ploy of a family member in order to have Mosi be wed. Perhaps that was a singular advantage of having one's parents missing--they could not be dressed as to seem more appealing, though Virginia doubted her parents ever would attempt to mask her identity for the sake of courtship.

"I must say, I am surprised to hear those words leave your lips, dear Millicent," Virginia remarked. "Yet there are ways to dispose of people, and if this gentleman's death is so required, please do not hesitate to call upon me. We Crypts walk in darkness and it should pose no great difficulty." Her words were not entirely false, so to speak. They had been granted their earldom for services rendered to Henry the Eighth--services that it should not take too much imagination to determine. And although the Soulless had caused the macabre aura of the family to soften, with the Soulless' presence dwindling, it was likely that they would once again be labeled grotesque. But for a Crypt, that was nothing more than a mere compliment.

She watched as her dear friend withdrew, entering the establishment with some lord or the other. Virginia could not help but surmise that the man had set his sights on Millicent's sisters, and that if dear Millicent wanted any man dead, it would be that man in particular. Perhaps there could be some method of aiding her dear friend, yet it would not stop the next loathsome creature from setting his gaze upon the Wyndham sisters.

"Castration is such an interesting form of punishment, and one that I feel could be quite apt," Virginia agreed, smiling slightly as Mosi removed her veil. Yet the news of the damaged wards only brought trouble to Virginia's mind. The Soulless likely had already crossed the threshold, due to the vision she had had earlier during her walk. The event was doomed to ruin and despair--beyond the normal misery of social occasions, of course.

"Then I do believe, dear Mosi and Sir Kildragon, that the Soulless walk among us," Virginia mused. "And while you look divine, dear Mosi, I prefer you to look at ease with yourself." She paused for a moment, before making her way inside of Almack's. If the Soulless were indeed present, she would have two threats to protect her dearest friend from--the gentlemen and the undead creatures.

Dorothy Pender

---

Location: Retribution Conference Room

---

---

Had it perhaps been another time, another place, Dorothy might have lightly teased Anisa for mixing her up with her sister. It was generally Lionel who got the pair mixed up, but to be fair, their parents were not all too creative with names. Dorothy and Daphne. And to make matters worse, they resembled each other, as siblings tended to do. But it wasn't the time to point out the Captain's slip--especially with the tensions in the room, driven to a maximum from too much death and too much loss.

However, Dorothy's mind went blank for a moment as Anisa announced what she had learned that day. Reavers as...soldiers?! The Alliance had always been attempting to gain the upper hand, to grow more and more powerful. She knew that all too well. But that concept, of harnessing savage beasts, driven beyond what could even be called insanity...It bewildered Dorothy, to say the least. The last time she had felt so shocked and appalled, she had deserted the Alliance military, and thrown her lot in with the browncoats. The Alliance knew no morals and it repulsed her.

Two members of the Alliance in the room were more vocal than the others. The woman was very blunt and to the point, simply asking what Anisa was going to do with the information. And the man, well, he seemed to care about alleviating boredom more than anything else. The Alliance did attract certain types of personalities, that was true--but Dorothy couldn't help but feel a bit irritated with the pair of them.

Were they not human? Did they not understand what it meant, that the Alliance was not only responsible for the making of reavers, but now attempting to use them as weapons?

Nora Kingston

---

Location: Garden City - Apartment 301 Maratos Building at No.6 Walda Pasha

---

---

However, before Nora could even vacate the lobby of the building and return to her rooms, the bells ceased to toll. She still did not know exactly whom they had tolled for--an escaped convict was the only description she had received. It did bring a small comfort to her, knowing that if the Lady Munn had not yet returned to her own abode that evening, there would not be a prisoner on the streets to accost her.

Nodding her thanks at the clerk, Nora ascended to her room, smiling softly as she spotted Spot napping in a corner. Everything appeared to have returned to a certain state of normalcy, even with her finger bringing her great pain and distress. The surgeon would be able to make something of it, she felt certain. While the brand itself may pose a mystery, she would at least be spared from worries of infection. Though she certainly would not explain too much as to its origins--as honest as Nora was, she was not daft. If she claimed it to have appeared as if by magic, she would most certainly be thrown into an asylum for lunacy. No, better to refuse questions, and accept whatever medical treatment was provided.

In the morning, she had her appointment with the Lady Munn. Rest would be required for her to be fit and ready. Lounging on the sofa, Nora selected her novel from earlier for perusal, indulging in the world of fiction and make-believe. As much as she detested the diversion from reality, she could not help but have a certain fondness for the dime novel. And the physician would arrive at her quarters before the hour was up--it was perhaps best for her to occupy her mind with some light amusements.

Jack Hudson

---

Location: Newnan Building E - Apartment E2 ---> The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)

---

---

As Tiffany mentioned Ray's boutonniere, Jack almost jumped. He had forgotten to put his on! It took him only a minute to fix his mistake, and he let out a sigh of relief, glad to see that the crisis had been averted. Hopefully, that would be the worst thing to plague the wedding--his momentary forgetfulness. Waving at Tiffany as she left, Jack gathered up the few other things that he'd need with him for the wedding. His present to Tatiana wasn't on him, but carefully hidden--Ray and he had spent too much time on it for it to not take her by surprise.

"Thanks, man," Jack grinned, returning the most traditional of bro hugs. Once Ray emerged from changing, Jack gave him two thumbs up. "Like a million bucks!" He was getting giddier by the minute, with the moment of his wedding drawing closer and closer. It hardly felt real. He nodded as Ray looked at the time, letting out a deep breath.

"Let's do this, man." His smile was ever present on his face, and he held the door for Ray, as they left Miss Sally's apartment and headed towards the wedding site. Everyone in Newnan, except for the bride and the pseudo-father of the bride, would be there. The wedding area designed by Meg took him aback, his jaw dropping slightly. With the condition of the world, he never expected much--but it looked perfect, like a fairy tale. He whistled slightly, moving with Ray to the front.

"You okay?" Jack asked, noticing the way Ray sighed.

Beatrice Decker

---

Location: Franklin Apartment C3 ---> The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)

---

---

Beatrice was a few steps behind the lovebirds. There wasn't really any way to avoid it, with their being only one direct route from the Women's Apartment Housing in Franklin to the Wedding Site. Her dress and coat were plenty warm, and Beatrice enjoyed the comfort of wearing boots, rather than heels. If she had to be girlie, she was not going to wear heels. They disgusted her.

But at the same time, she noted the development of Amelia and Riley with interest. She had overheard Amelia asking Riley to be her date, having been about to leave at the same time. The pair of them appeared to be well suited to each other, and frankly, Beatrice didn't truly care who dated who. She found all relationships to be irritating and doomed to fail from the beginning, with the entire reasoning of weddings and ceremonies entirely lost on her. The sooner it was over, the better.

However, even Beatrice had to admit that weddings brought certain benefits. Rather than the regular rations, the people of Newnan would have a bit of a treat, in the form of a wedding feast. As much as it was more food than they'd need, it was nice to be able to have a bit of a splurge every once and a while. It was a movement towards living, rather than just surviving. Though, if the wedding was as romantic and gooey as she expected, surviving might soon seem preferable to living.

Chloe Ridgeway

---

Location: Building B; Chloe's Room ---> The Wedding Site (Near 10 - Medical Garden)

---

---

Right before Chloe left the house, a shiver went up and down her spine. Panic encapsulated her, and she clenched her fist, her fingernails digging into her skin. Had she not already been pale, she would have turned as white as a sheet. Taking a slow and shuddering breath, Chloe slowly uncurled her fingers, rubbing slightly at the self inflicted wound. It bled extremely lightly, but the blood didn't replenish itself, thankfully.

"Fucking calm down," Chloe chastised herself, even though she knew the source of her panic. The last time she had dressed so nicely, she had been convicted. They sent her back to the Metropolitan Detention Center, where she was supposed to be transferred to a maximum security prison within a few days. Instead, the world had ended. But that did nothing to remove the fear and panic that Chloe felt.

We, the Jury, find the defendant to be guilty of the charge of...

She shook her head, hoping to change her mind from those memories. Her sister was going to perform at a wedding, at a real event. It didn't help anyone to live in the past--it was time to focus on the present. Leaving the house, she felt the chill of the Georgia snow, regretting slightly that she hadn't had a bit of a longer dress. But she looked fine in it, the very reason she had selected it. Making her way to the wedding area, she smiled a bit as she spotted Riley, making her way over and sitting next to her.

"How's the music situation? Any developments?" Chloe asked, subconsciously gripping her hands tightly again.

Ravi Chakrabarti

---

Location: Five miles west of Newnan, abandoned cabin in the woods

---

---

Ravi headed down the staircase in the cabin, coming down from the loft. He had shifted it into a temporary medical bay, but to be truthful, there hadn't been much he could do. The girl had been beyond his help, with the only option available to him was easing her pain as she passed. He had taken care to prevent her reanimation already, and while she had died for what could pass as naturally these days, it still weighed on him heavily. There was nothing he could have done--but Ravi felt obligated to do more.

"The poor thing's gone," Ravi said to Gavin, shaking his head slightly. "Did you find the information we need? Or shall I send for the Emperor's Hand to use the powers of the force to persuade the man?"

As much as he wished he could have done more for the girl, Ravi was also used to death to an extent. He worked as a medical examiner before the world went to hell, doing his best to solve the murders of some piss poor chaps. It had normalized him to death, keeping it from entirely bewildering and confounding him--even if he could never bring himself to pull the trigger and end the life of another.

"I don't imagine scavenging will do much good," Ravi commented, eyeing the three feet of snow outside of the cabin. However, he was perplexed as well. Ravi had heard the loud roar of the engine from before, and he doubted it was a coincidence. The universe was rarely so lazy these days. "Are we expecting more company? Shall I put the kettle on? Pop open a few beers?"

Cecily Ashworth

---

Location: the Morgue

---

---

Cecily listened to Caesar before putting in the call to Riley. Her passport was back at the Boston Heights, locked away securely in a safe. She didn't tend to keep it on her, finding that a Starbucks card had a lot more practical use--and the odds of it being stolen were far slimmer. But at the same time, she was skeptical that returning to the Boston Heights would be safe. If they had identified Caesar and her as the trespassers, wouldn't the Boston Heights be the first place they'd look for them? And then, even if they did cross with passports successfully, wouldn't a national organization like Juno get tipped off at the border?

Yet at the same time, Cecily knew comparatively very little about the proper protocols and precautions. She had never been in a situation like this before--the sort of situation that she guessed Roy and Caesar were experts at handling. If they told her to do something, she'd do it. It had kept her alive thus far. She stepped off slightly away from the rest of the group, pulling out her phone, as she quickly dialed Riley's number.

"Riley? It's Cecily. Can you get me in touch with Agent Tinder? It's urgent."
