Overlord Thraka

The Room

*Just because Mergoux can't walk, doesn't mean she can't fight. As the Major approaches her she draws a long knife and slashes at him. Her chestplate also protects from the kicks, as even a steel-toed boot on the foot of Dwayne Johnson would have trouble hurting someone through a thick medieval breastplate*

*She attempts to knock the pistol from his hands when he gets too close and lunges at him, using her good leg to propel herself towards him. Her dagger goes to slash towards the Major's throat as she snarls in fury*

*Jilial doesn't seem to notice the Dr's gesture but instead slowly gets up. She walks outside the room and to the edge of the treeline, then at the edge of the woods she gets down on her hands and knees and starts to dig, her claws tearing through the earth with relative ease*
*Her stomach rumbles and her scales are pale with cold, but the sun begins to warm her blood as she digs a grave for her lover with her bare hands*

The Room

*Taboo skids to a halt and holds up her hands to Finnick*
Taboo: Woah woah woah! It's me Taboo! Don't hurt me okay!?
*She doesn't notice Lecter coming up behind her, so just to prove who she is to Finnick she transforms back into human form*
Taboo: Can you help me actually!? There's this psycho b&@^@-lady trying to spill my guts!

The Room

*Mergoux screams in pain and staggers, crashing into the table next to Taboo as her leg crumples out from under her*
Mergoux: AGH! YOU BAS-UGH!
*She chokes as Taboo launches a punch at her throat and scrambles away. Taboo runs for the main room, sees the congregation around Horus's body and takes a sharp turn into the kitchen, where she desperately looks for a place to hide*

*Mergoux spends almost a solid minute trying to breath through her damaged windpipe before struggling to her feet, breathing raggedly*
Mergoux: YOU!
*She points at the Major with her sword*
Mergoux: You're dead!
*She takes one step, falters as she puts weight on her shot leg and falls again. She roars in fury and pulls a small hand crossbow from her bag, then fires it at the Major's chest*

*Jilail doesn't move at all*

The Room

*Taboo yelps and rolls under another slash from Mergoux. She nimbly darts between the Warriors legs and slashes with her claws as she moves. Mergoux growls in pain as a deep cut is opened on her left foreleg and continues to limp after Taboo. Taboo for her part is trying not to both scream in terror and laugh her head off. She loves seeing the sight of Mergoux so infuriated, but isn't dumb enough not to be scared by her, knowing that if Merg catches her it's all over.*

*She leaps over the bar but mid-air is startled by the gunshot and stumbles clumsily. She lands hard on her arm and winces as she feels her wrist burn with pain. "Sprained..." she groans and scrambles to her feet only to be thrown back by Merg bodily slamming into her. Taboo crashes into a table and lands in a heap, dazed. Mergoux smiles, and it is terrifying. She grins with a look of utter insanity on her face as she approaches Taboo to rain down the final blow.*

__________

*Xan finishes binding Jilial's wounds and sadly pats the dragon woman's head. Jilial doesn't react what-so-ever, instead just sitting curled in a ball, her face blank and seemingly dead to the world around her.*
*Xan stands up and sighs, then walks over to Lecter, Sasha and the others*
Xan: She not bad hurt in body... but mind hurt bad...
*She looks back at Jilial and her shoulders slump*
Xan: I no can help... You know her? Maybe you help?

_____

*Tiaz wanders towards the smell of blood and death, finding the battle site after several hours of wandering. Once there he looks around at whatever is left and frowns to himself, then starts searching remains for any sign of someone he might know. If there are still demon-bodies left then he takes some chunks of meat to experiment on and taste test later*

The Room

*Taboo screams as Mergoux charges her. She transforms and dodges the Warrior's charge before sprinting past John to diver behind the bar*
Taboo: SASHA! SOMEBODY! CRAZY B&@#& TRYING TO KILL MEEEEE-AAAAH!
*Mergoux is roaring in unending rage as she runs after Taboo. She's completely lost all sense of anything else and focuses entirely on the Weretiger*

*Jilial doesn't seem to pay attention but Hanna listens closely. However, the smell of blood is beginning to overpower her as Jilial and now herself are both covered in it from Horus. She trembles in Jilial's arms and asks to be let down. Jilial doesn't pay any attention, forcing Hanna to forcibly break her adopted mother's grip. She runs to her room and eats a hand or two to sate her hunger.*
*After Hanna leaves Jilial gives a little whimper and curls up into a ball, her broken wings still hanging raggedly from her body. She seems dead to the world and doesn't pay any attention as Xan slowly walks to her and carefully starts trying to help her by working on her wings*
*Xan works carefully, her face full of sympathy*

*Tiaz is rather busy trying to figure out what Lyrium does without actually taking any. After having forced a re-captured slave to take it, he experiments on her to see what, if any, her reactions are. Afterwards he smiles to himself and tucks the rest of the bag away, knowing Taboo would enjoy it.*
*He finally hobbles out of his cave and heads into the woods, following the scent of blood*

The Room

*Taboo falters slightly, realizing she's losing the upper hand in this situation. She shuts up for now, peeking her head over the top of the table*

*Mergoux flat out ignores Sasha, seemingly driven into a rage so intense it blocks out all external sound and vision. She lets out a roar of vengeance-filled fury and leaps at Taboo, aiming for where her head peaks over the lip.*

*Xan cautiously steps back, knowing that she's done her best for Eustace. She looks between Zeta and him and realizes how Zeta seems to feel about the strange man. She kneels next to Zeta and puts hand on her shoulder*
Xan: We do all we can, to save ones we love, yes? Well, then we did best we can. Now it up to him to heal good.
*She nods once then stands back up*
Xan: I go... err... what is word... for-ag-ing? I look for... plants... herbs. Healing things. I be back quick-quick okay?

*She pats Zeta's head and walks towards the front door just in time to leap back with a start as Jilial drags Horus through the door and very nearly collapses. She seems to recognize where she is and stops. She looks down at Horus again and is about to say something when Hanna comes into the main room. The ancient being and the young woman exchange glances for a moment before Hanna bursts into tears and runs to Jilail, hugging her so tightly that the Dragon-lady's face creases in pain beyond the emotional. She kneels down and holds her adopted daughter close, her hot tears still rolling down her face. She still hasn't spoken for the hours it's taken them to bring Horus back, or given any real emotional reaction to anything other than her tears*
*Her tail curls around the sobbing young girl as Jilial slowly falls on her side, her expression remaining blank as she seemingly holds on for dear life.*

The Land of Anacharia! High Fantasy RP! Possible 18+ depending on co-host Re-Opened!

Note: I have received enough interest to say that I can no longer take on any more. It's getting to be a bit too much. If you missed your chance, I might open this back up later, but for now I'm sorry but I'm not accepting new partners until further notice

The Room

*Xan sees the look in Zeta's eyes and though she doesn't quite understand everything in them, she gets the jist. She rushes over and does her best to help, not knowing really what to do with the ears biology. She really wishes she had a few herbs that she knows would help and makes a plan to start a garden in the near future. As it is, she quickly patches up any other wounds Eustace might have and helps Zeta however she can*
Xan: Meadowleaf... King's Foil... Garia...
*She mutters under her breath as she works, trying to think what she might need in the future*

*Jilial doggedly helps carry Horus. Tears still stream down her face but her expression is blank, eyes once so full of mirth and joy, now just dead inside.*

*Hanna probably books it away from the smell of blood*

The Room

*Mergoux snarls as Sasha breaks her crossbow*
Mergoux: You want f&#(ing evidence!? FINE!
*She grabs the bottom of her leather jerkin and pulls it up slightly to expose her stomach. Aside from the tattoo of a sun with writing circling it over her pierced belly button, her stomach is covered with scars, both old and fresh. They look like claw marks and criss-cross her torso almost like a grisly tic-tac-toe*
Mergoux: She's the b#&@$ who did this! She's a f&#&ing monster who gets off on hurting others, especially me!
*She drops her jerkin back in place and glares at Sasha, seething with rage*
Mergoux: You kill me and let her live, I garun-f&#@ing-tee she'll be bleeding you out by the end of the week!

*Taboo stifles her laughter behind the table again*
Taboo: That's- *Choked back laughter that could pass for fear* That's a lie! How many people have you killed you crazy half-breed!
*Mergoux practically howls in fury, driven beyond her breaking point and draws her sword to advance on Taboo again*

*Xan sees Zeta go by helping Eustace. Seeing the injured fellow she decides to follow and see if she can help*
Xan: Zeta! Zeta wait I help!

*Jilial looks back over her shoulder at John. Her eyes project a level of thankfulness to him as she slowly, slowly, steps back to allow Lecter and John to try and carry Horus. She watches silently, but if they can't lift his 1200 pound form she steps into help, her newborn draconic strength enabling them to lift Horus, probably with some effort*

The Room

Mergoux: Not a murderer, the people I killed barely count as people anymore...
*She plunges her hand into her bag up to the shoulder, rummaging for something in the depths*
*Taboo stares incredulously at Mergoux then back at Sasha *
Taboo: Trust me! I'd leave her alone if she'd leave me- YIKES!
*She ducks as Mergoux draws her crossbow and shoots at her*
Mergoux: She's a f&#&ing monster! She needs to be killed!
*Her face is twisted with brutal rage under her helmet*
*Taboo flips a table and hides behind it. She giggles silently to herself before concealing her smile and calling out in a falsely-fearful voice*
Taboo: Stop her! Please! Before she kills me!

*Jilial flinches badly, her wings twinging in pain at the shoulder touch, and resists being pulled away. She looks over her shoulder, and her face says everything. The look in her eyes is both full of sorrow and completely hollow. She looks at John for a few seconds then turns away, refusing to budge*
