Nine didn't show any sort of reaction to Jakob's words. If she had felt like arguing with him, she would've pointed out the bullet still in her arm - and the fact that he had brought these people here. Additionally, Jakob had been perfectly fine with coming to slaughter them all. She didn't buy for an instant that he actually cared about Seven - and how could he? He wasn't one of them. He was an outsider, a hired gun sent to kill innocents. He lost her trust the moment he decided he was okay with that arrangement and Nine already didn't trust very easily.

"They're being killed even if she lives," Nine said coldly. It had already been decided upon, but apparently Two didn't understand that. No one else there seemed to get the stakes. It was a kill or be killed situation they had found themselves in. Nine didn't want to lose any of her people and she was willing to pay whatever price that meant. She frowned a bit, looking at Ten and waiting for him to do something. "Get her patched up. I get you're the world's slowest doctor, but she doesn't have that kind of time," Nine said. After all, she had been shot quite a while ago and Ten still hadn't dealt with her injury.


Beatrice Decker


Location: Eden - Service Corridor
Skills: Pistol, Hand-to-Hand Combat, Stamina

Beatrice nodded, grabbing her pistol and putting her hair up into a ponytail. She then followed Lola out of the tank, taking the ladder once the Kiwi had cleared it. She wasn't phased as she saw the mutilated bodies that had been a result of her work with the gun. There wasn't anything incredibly personal about it - in a way, it was just business. It was what had to be done in order to survive - and in order to protect or avenge those she considered to be her people. They had to answer for that. In a way, Beatrice supposed, perhaps it was personal - but she didn't feel angry. She was keeping her emotional distance.

Beatrice headed inside with Lola, noticing how the flickering lights made the building appear like the backdrop for a horror movie. Of course, the lights weren't the only reason. She saw all of the horrors and tragedies that decorated her surroundings. She knew that she should have felt horrified, perhaps even a little sick - but it didn't phase her either. She had long since accepted that the real monsters in the world were human beings. Gambit and Lola were more than capable, taking out a good deal of Edenites. Beatrice smirked a bit at Lola's song. Her singing wasn't half bad - and it certainly was effective.

"Not half bad," Beatrice said, giving Lola an earnest compliment. She had her gun at the ready, intending on shooting anyone that wasn't friendly that came up to them. "Come on, let's move."

Jack Hudson


Location: Arnco Mills Safehouse (E10)
Skills: N/A

Jack continued to mull over Tiffany's words as they drove in silence, only stopping once they made it to Arnco Mills. His eyes widened as he saw the hordebuster in front of them, already convinced that Tatiana just had to be inside of it! It made perfect sense. She would have gone with Ash or whoever it was that was driving the vehicle. Ray was probably there with her as well and Jack let out a sigh of relief. His family was safe. He was still going to get to see his kid be born one day. His wife wasn't some walker's snack. He then watched in horror as a blonde - Riley - was flung from the truck and he let out another sigh when she seemed to be okay.

"Damn it, like she was tryin' to give us a hea't attack..." Jack tried to joke to Tiffany. He grinned a bit as he heard Ash's voice and saw him head on out, just waiting to hear Tatiana's now as well. But he knew that Ash was right - they needed to get the place secured and their resources attended to first. He just kept on waiting for Tatiana to climb out of the truck as well. He climbed on out of the car, grabbing what little supplies he had with him, before heading to join the others in checking the place out and getting it secured.


Nancy Parker & Andromeda Aldrich


Location: Ville au Camp - Main Building, Dining Room
Skills: None

During the process leading up to the burial and the small funeral itself, Nancy had remained by George's side. She knew that her friend was hurting and she figured it was the best way that she could show him support. Maybe in a day or so, she'd insist that he assist her with trying to ride her bicycle on the roof of the main house and do a few tricks up there. Her mind had become distracted with various ways to cheer him up, and when it was decided at dinner that Alicia would return with him to Cairo, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. In her opinion, it had been far too long since she had gotten a chance to stretch her legs and leave the loop. She was starting to feel a bit caged in.

Andromeda had remained a quiet shadow to Lady Luck, helping her as needed and listening attentively to the story of Peter's life, happiness, and woes. As a lover of history, it was fascinating. But as someone who had just dealt with great loss, Andromeda couldn't help but understand how raw and painful these wounds would be. Her father had died over a month ago, from her perspective, and she still mourned him.

By dinner time, Nancy had changed out of the prison garb and into her normal clothing. She was nibbling on a caramel chew, having a sweet tooth and not really caring if she spoiled her appetite for the evening meal. Nancy couldn't help but smirk a bit at the thought of all of the locals coming. They always really did make her 'birthday' enjoyable. She couldn't help but wonder what tale she'd tell them this time. Or perhaps she and Giouse could come up with some way to frighten a few of them. Her mischievous smile as she pushed around her food with a fork made it all too clear why she had been called Loki. Nancy wasn't even quite certain if she had stolen Loki's identity or if the belief in Loki had been based off of her all along. It was a bit of a murky line.

Nancy continued to play with her food a bit, letting Giouse and Gilbert tell the Paradoxes everything they'd need to know. On the topic of punctuality, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was a gifted actress herself which helped with blending in, but it was a nightmare trying to get Nancy to stick to anything that even vaguely resembled a schedule. Andromeda was listening carefully, a bit excited at the prospect of learning more about how to blend in with different eras. And when it came to telling stories to visitors, she doubted she'd have any trouble. It was what she had done in her life, working as a museum curator - she told stories to visitors about the strange things she had found in her travels.

"Oh, that's fun," Nancy observed, glancing up as Alexandra teleported. "And if any of you get bored listening to rules and stuff all day...Well, just let me know. There is such a thing as being too prepared - it's better to just sort of work things out in the moment," she said with a shrug.
@FantasyChic@Nallore@BlueSky44:

Will be updating here tonight. Blue, you're on day 6. I'm going to give us a timeskip to combine a bunch of the different groups we have, so we can push forward towards the end game again.


Scott Rydzynski

Location: A Pastry Shop - Seattle, Washington
Interacting With: Gideon, Jace, Janelle, and Isley


"Trust me, sweetheart, it wasn't my idea to come here," Scott said, winking at Isley as he sat back confidently in the booth. Sure, she was a fine little piece but she really wasn't his type. He liked his women like he liked his guns - deadly, sassy, and loud - the exact opposite of the type of people who took jobs in pastry shops. While some would recommend avoiding workplace romances, Scott found he could only fall for people who were in his line of work - he also didn't particularly care which side of the law they fell on.

Scott raised an eyebrow at Janelle. "You don't say? Guess I should've paid attention in biology," he said with a bit of a chuckle. He knew that he didn't look it but he actually was highly educated and had a gift for mechanical engineering. He'd act the part of the fool whenever it suited him. Or maybe he was just still a little drunk from the night before. Or perhaps he'd just stopped caring. Any of those would have been plausible explanations for his behavior. "I'll take the strongest thing you have - which I'm guessing is coffee," Scott said, sighing with disappointment.

"And sure, princess. Take a seat - the more the fucking merrier," Scott huffed. He was a bit irritated at the kids speaking a language he didn't understand and he considered switching into Russian just to teach them a lesson. For a moment, however, he was distracted. Did his daughter know her ancestral tongue? Could she speak Russian fluently? Or did she not even know her own nationality? He sighed a bit, and if anyone was paying close attention, they'd be able to see a little bit of sadness in him. Janelle was just reminding him of the daughter he would never meet.


Jenna Westbrook

Location: 052 Forrester Drive


Jenna had followed her cousin into the kitchen, rolling her eyes a bit at the glass shards and the mess Lydia's new cat had made. It was just typical of cats to knock everything they could find off of the counter. And she knew that her mom - no, that Mrs. Westbrook loved that jar. But Jenna decided that the school administrator could just deal with it. There was no use crying over a smashed cookie jar. She half expected to see the cat knock over a glass of milk as well, that way milk and cookies would be on the floor.

"You found him, boy?" Jenna asked her dog, as Tony bolted off into the living room. She went in there with Lydia, giving Tony a few pets on his head as a reward for a job well done. Jenna then raised an eyebrow again at the name Robert - she supposed she was one to talk, given her dog was named Tony, but she had named him after a Marvel character. She couldn't think of anyone named Robert worth naming a cat after. She pulled out her phone and noticed the message from Abe, sending him back a curt reply.

To Abe:
I'm fine -J.

She glanced up from her phone just in time to see Tony try to go after the damn cat again. Jenna was about to call off Tony when her dog backed away slightly on her own. She raised an eyebrow as the cat seemed to be staring at her, kneeling down and petting her dog. She was going to bring Tony with her when she finally ran away, she decided. He was the only person in this town worth caring about and he wasn't even human.

"So, Robert...That's a fun name for a cat."


Guinevere Stark

Location: Cass' Room


Guin thought about it for a moment, before she shook her head. While P.H.I.L. was a highly intelligent system, he didn't have that level of capabilities yet when it came to hacking. The best he could do at the moment was simple codebreaking. She ideally wanted to expand what he could do, but she doubted he'd be able to do that until Gen III at the earliest - maybe even Gen IV. J.A.R.V.I.S. certainly would have been able to do it, but a large part of the reason she kept improving P.H.I.L. was because he was largely her own design. "Nah, P.H.I.L. isn't at that level yet. I could probably do it, though," Guin said, finishing with a bit of a smirk. She loved a challenge.

"I'd just need to be able to get a solid link for an IP address but...Hmm, yeah, no, I can make it work," Guin said, accepting the EMP's from Cass. Computer code had been her first language - then it was math and then finally English. She pocketed two of the devices, keeping one in her free hand as she followed Cass out, wondering what the range of the devices was. Did they need to physically make contact with a Sentinel or would the general area work? She noted that Mary, Carolina, and two others were heading back inside, before she got her EMP ready to go and lobbed it at the nearest Sentinel.

"Seems we're retreating already," Guin commented. "Might as well use these to cover our ass as we exit stage left..."

Dean Kesseli

Location: Blackbird


Something about Pietro's words rubbed Dean the wrong way. Sure, he was still a bit starstruck over him and everything he had heard about him - but why remind Dean that he knew the same things as him and he was faster? It didn't seem to be necessary for Maximoff to point those things out. For a moment, Dean wanted nothing more than to rescind his offer and go back outside to help people, but Pietro had already rushed off. He took the bandages in his hand before getting to work on Beast, doing what little first aid he knew.

However, he didn't feel really helpful when it came to Mira's comments on the Blackbird. "Maybe Guin Stark could fly it? Don't Starks know everything?" Dean asked a bit naively. He then glanced over as a girl he didn't know, as well as Professor Xavier, arrived in the Blackbird. Most of the student body had to be there as well and he couldn't help but be a bit impressed they all had managed to fit. "But uh...I don't think Dr. McCoy is going to be waking up soon," Dean then added. "I could be wrong but...Anyways, he'll be okay, I'm pretty sure." He then glanced over at Xavier, wondering if he somehow knew how to fly the plane.

Folly Valeska

Location: Grounds of the Institute


Folly felt slightly disappointed when the two O.M.E.N. agents shot each other, though she supposed that it meant she really still was a thing of nightmares to them. She glanced back as Thalia landed next to her. It was time to get out of there, apparently. Had she been a few years younger, she might have jumped into the car of the recently deceased agents and used it as a battering ram, crashing into the other vehicles and bringing an entirely new meaning to vehicular homicide. But loss and suffering had not only just hardened her, it had given her valuable experience.

"Of course," Folly said with a nod, putting away her daggers. She then looked at Thalia and gave her a slight smile. It was always nice to see Thalia again. She had good memories of time spent with Thalia as a child. And out of those she knew, only Thalia could remember Cirque Anomaly and her parents. For all of the horrors that had happened, those moments were defining features of Folly's life. Her eyes flickered back towards the Sentinels. She would have been incredibly happy to destroy every last single one of them as the others fled.

"Would you mind giving me a lift?" Folly requested.


Iris Kingston


Location: Justice Asylum
Skills: Perception, Psychology, Photographic Memory

Iris couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical. Sure, she knew everything that had happened - she'd witnessed it - but she also felt she'd watched enough CSI to imagine that other clues could be hidden somewhere. Sure, she knew CSI and forensics weren't actually the same thing - one was fictional and the other a field of science - but the B team forensics crew wasn't exactly inspiring confidence. And why had her cousin left town? She'd seen her just the evening before - and although they weren't close, she imagined Cecily would have mentioned going on vacation or something along those lines.

Iris nodded at Nurse Cratty, before heading back to her office. She wanted to see if she could find out anything else about her two missing patients - or the women who abducted them. As she headed back over there, she felt her phone vibrate and she took it out, seeing a message from Agent Tinder. She smiled slightly before shooting off a reply - Merci, doing well! The police just left. They think it's open and shut but...I'm not confident they found everything they could find. The coroner's out of town as well, which is strange, as she was here last night...


Dr. Dorothy Pender & Dr. Fitz Townsley


Location: Lady Luck's
Skills: Perception

Fitz nodded, before hesitantly putting a hand on Daphne's waist and taking her hand in his other. He didn't know much dancing, but he had a general idea of the position people were supposed to be in - though he didn't know if that depended on the music and the environment. Fitz awkwardly took a step, before moving in a vaguely dance like motion with Daphne, his cheeks a bright shade of crimson. "Y-you're very pretty," Fitz complimented her. He wasn't sure if he should thank her for dancing with him - he was new to all of this. He didn't notice Anisa leaving the background, just focusing on his dancing partner.

"D-d-do you like dancing?" Fitz then asked. He didn't know very much about her and it was something he wanted to change. He genuinely enjoyed people and getting to know them - his stutter and anxiety was made even more ironic when that was considered. His sister had once compared him to a machine trying desperately to copy human feelings and emotions, never quite matching up. And while it had hurt a lot, Fitz did understand where she was coming from. He never really fit in, as much as he wanted to. Nothing would have made him happier than to be part of a group.

"Go fish," Dorothy informed the preacher. Her eyes flickered over to Anisa exiting from the backroom. She shrugged a bit. "Not too sure...but I find it unlikely," Dorothy admitted. She glanced at her cards for a moment, making some more mental notes on strategies to pick. As she glanced up again, she noticed the signal from Anisa. Dorothy made eye contact with her and she nodded, placing her cards face down on the table.

"I hope you got all of your wanton behavior out already, as it's time to get back on the job," Dorothy told Atticus, not sure if he had seen Anisa's signal. The others were starting to move out and Dorothy got up, getting her own food in a to-go box. She could always finish it off later. It was a bit of a shame they hadn't had enough time for her to win a hand against Atticus, but she wasn't going to protest leaving this place. In her experience, nothing good ever happened in a bar. Case in point, her sister had been fired and nearly killed that evening.
