Overlord Thraka

The Room

*Xan dozes sleepily but stirs slightly at the sound of Zeta's voice nearby*
Xan: Mmmm...
*She yawns and stretches in a catlike fashion before opening her eyes and looking around*
Xan: Oh... I sleep longatime. What time is it?
*She sits up against the wall and looks around*

*Zeta waking up draws Mergoux's attention to them, and though she doesn't smile, the corner of her mouth twitches when she recognizes Xan, as she's extremely glad someone else managed to escape Tiaz's dungeons and make it to relative safety*
Mergoux: Yes, there are plenty of people alive. Who are you? And why are you sleeping on the floor? There are plenty of rooms available.
*She looks at Elewynn*
Mergoux: Last I knew? At least 8, but this bumps it up to 11 with you here.

*Jilial flies desperately towards the storm, looking for any sign of battle*

*Taboo nods dazedly*
Taboo: Big cities... We try to avoid those... too many guards...
*She's too high/drunk to lie anymore and just absently talks*
Taboo: Oog... More drink!
*She downs her 8th glass of wine and giggles again*

The Room

*Taboo grins and nods*
Taboo: It's good... Some of the best, I make sure only to use the best.... Let me know if you want more, I-... No wait, not anymore... You keep ahold of that, that's nearly the last of what I've got...
*Her emotion sinks drastically as she remembers the destruction of her home at the hands of Karma and she looks extremely depressed for a few moments*

*Mergoux glares at Elewynn, as she's used to Elves being nose-in-the-air snobs who think of humans as humans think of rodents and cockroaches*
Mergoux: I'm Mergoux
*She barks out her name shortly*

The Room

*Mergoux looks up and her mouth draws into a tight line when she sees the newcomer is an Elf. *
Mergoux:...Get used to it. Half the s*#& around here doesn't make any f&#ing sense.
*She glares at Elewynn from under her helmet*
Mergoux: Who are you Elf?

*Taboo nods and grins drunkenly*
Taboo: My father employs a few Dwarves... I'll have to talk to them then... This is (hic) good s&#@...
*She grins and pulls a small pouch from her pocket before sliding it over to Finnick*
Taboo: Here... exchange... Now we're even...
*Inside the pouch are several grams of grade A booger-sugar*

The Room

*Horus howls in agony as as sizable crater is opened in his torso from the explosion and he loses 2 fingers and an eye. As the acid begins to eat away at him his vision swims in and out of focus. He staggers to his feet, wobbles a few steps then collapses*
Horus: I-Iris...
*He crawls a few paces more before his vision blacks out and he slumps to the ground, bleeding heavily and rapidly approaching death's door*

*The woman formerly known as Iris feels a heavy sinking sensation in her stomach. She actually feels ill and quickly strides towards the door*
Jilial: Hanna! Go to your room! Please stay there until I get back okay? I've g-got... got t-to s-see something...
*Exits the room as Hanna does as she's told. Once outside, Jilial doesn't even acknowledge Jillian and instead sets off running at a speed that would make Usain Bolt irrelevant. Her bare feet pound along the ground as she sprints for about 300 feet before extending her wings. She flaps them clumsily for a few seconds before lifting off and beginning to fly towards the storm*

The Room

*Taboo sits on her stool, just sort of looking around at various things until Elewynn gets up*
Taboo: There's a kitchen... Over thataway...
*She gets another drink, which she really doesn't need, and downs it quickly, not bothering to savor the taste*
Taboo: (Hic) Oog... Itz ben a while... since I felt this good...
*She grins and giggles again. She looks around, enjoying the images given to her by the mind-enhancers. She looks at Finnick and bows her head, the movement lacks her usual grace and is instead a rather clumsy bow*
Taboo: Thank you... where did you get thiz? And where can I get moar?

*Mergoux is eating a meal in the kitchen silently*

The Room

*Taboo grins shakily at Finnick*
Taboo: Oh yeah... this is good...
*Her legs buckle as she goes through a dizzying number of emotions, varying from worry for her brother to the thrill of the high. Eventually she settles on thrilled and giggles infectiously*
Taboo: Yes... Ooh I like this... Not like anything I've done before...

The Room

*Horus roars in pain and in a last ditch effort finally drops the lance. Instead he takes both hands and does a good old 'thumbs to squish the eyes' trick, while also pushing the creature as hard as he can, trying to get it off him. His stomach is getting seriously burned though and the stench of burning flesh fills the air*
*If he succeeds in imploding the creatures eyes, he then grips the eye-sockets and yanks in opposite directions, as if trying to tear the creature in two via it's eye-sockets*

The Room

*Taboo topples off her stool as her muscles seize up.*
Taboo: Ohhhh...
*She smiles vaguely and enjoys the pretty colors for a minute before stumbling to her feet and chugging the rest of her glass*
Taboo: Izgud... gudstuf...
*The drugs seem to set off the alcohol already inside her and she appears visibly more intoxicated*

The Room

*Horus is knocked away by the shockblast, but still manages to keep a death-grip on the lance, though he loses his other weapon. When the Praetorian lands on top of him he uses his free hand to grab his foe's wrist, but still yells in pain as he's jabbed and electrocuted, his strength however, keeps the crystal from stabbing deep*
*He reverses his grip on the lance and rams the butt of it into the Praetorian's face repeatedly until his foe either gets off, is knocked out, or killed*

The Room

*Taboo eagerly takes the drink, grinning widely, and sips it then reacts accordingly to whatever it does to her*
