Overlord Thraka

The Room

*Mergoux's mouth tightens as she hears the tale, as she relates to Jillian's tale*
Mergoux: I'm sorry... What can be done? Can they be stopped at all? And this power, what is it?
*Her tone is deadly serious*

*Iris puts a arm around Hanna and smiles gently down at her*
Iris: Hey, you okay?

*Horus cleans up all the blood and stuff, then piles the Low Men into a corner of the kitchen for Jillian to deal with*

The Room

*Mergoux nods and rolls her sleeve down*
Mergoux: I've never seen one before... Seems powerful.
*She winces slightly as she flexes the injured arm and looks at Jillian*
Mergoux: Thank you. So, who exactly are these yellowcoats? What do they have against you?

*Iris speaks with Horus in the doorway, and peaks around him at Mergoux*
*She nods and goes back to find Hanna*
Iris: Hanna? Hanna it's okay. It's all over

The Room

*Iris nods, ruffles Hanna's hair and goes to see what's what*

*Horus cleans up the kitchen*

*Mergoux allows herself to be treated*

The Room

*Mergoux hesitates but eventually nods*
Mergoux:...Alright... What was that thing? I've never seen anything like it. It was so loud!
*She rolls back the sleeve of her plain roughly made shirt to reveal more ornate tattoos of manacles around her wrists sprouting chains that morph into vines that curl and wrap around her muscled arm, disappearing under the rolled up sleeve at her shoulder*

*The gunshot wound has had a bandage hastily tied around it, but the bullet is still in the arm, and it's bleeding badly.*
*Mergoux must be in quite a bit of pain, but she doesn't outwardly show any as blood trickles down her arm*

The Room

*Mergoux glances between them both again then sighs and looks at Jillian*
Mergoux: My name is Mergoux.
*She frowns slightly*
Mergoux: A low man? If you mean a commoner, then no, I suppose I'm not. I've no idea who 'Good Man Farson' is either. I ran into these yellowcloaks outside, they offered to hire me to help find a killer. They said they were rebels against some regime, I didn't get specifics. I was hired to do a job, by people I thought were at least... not evil. Turns out I might've been wrong. They opened fire with innocents around. That's... not something I tolerate.

*Iris nods and gently strokes Hanna's hair to calm her down*
Iris: Alright... It's okay. We'll just wait for someone to come get us then okay? Or maybe I could go look?

The Room

*Horus nods and lets Mergoux up, but blocks the doorway*

*Mergoux stands up and rubs her ribs, then looks between Jillian and Horus*

*Iris hugs Hanna back*
Iris: It's okay... You want to go see if the fighting is over?

The Room

*Mergoux looks between Horus and Jillian, and between the two she doesn't like her odds*
*She looks over her shoulder considering running, only to be grabbed roughly by Horus and pinned, firmly but not painfully, to the ground*
Mergoux: Let me go! I've done nothing to you!
*Horus shakes his head*
Horus: Some woman charges in here with a sword drawn, I'm not just going to let her run around wild. Who are you?
*Mergoux silently stares defiantly up at Horus*
Horus:...Fine, perhaps my compatriot here can get some answers out of you.
*He looks over at Jillian*
Horus: Need any help there?

The Room

*Mergoux's sword is knocked from her grasp and even though she doesn't know what a gun is, she knows it's dangerous, and knows this lady means business*
*She glowers and looks at Jillian in hate, but raises her hands in surrender*

*Horus looks at Mergoux suspiciously but kneels down to examine Floyd. He gives Jillian a cursory glance*
Horus: You alright?
*He then goes to examine Floyd's body

*Iris ruffles Hanna's hair*
Iris: Hey, it's okay Hanna. Don't worry.
*She smiles kindly*

The Room

*Horus pins Floyd under the table, literally jumps on top of it a few times then lifts it off whatever is left of the Yellowcoat*

*Iris rubs her arm, where bruises are starting to form*
Iris: Not too badly... I'll be okay...

*Mergoux steps into the kitchen, sword drawn*
*She stops when she sees the giant bird-headed man*
*Her mouth falls open and the sword point drops slightly*
Mergoux: What the fu-....

The Room

*Iris looks concerned and tries to move next to Hanna to comfort her*
Iris: I know Hanna, I know... Just try to stay calm.

*Horus nods*
Horus: Well by Danu they hurt...
*He calls back out to Floyd*
Horus: I don't know what you're talking about! But you're the one who came in here guns blazing!
*Horus then gets a idea. He grabs a hold of the table, and hunching behind it, launches himself at Floyd like a linebacker*
