Everflame 2 (FINISHED)

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin had went to his room about ten minutes after the ship departed, but refrained from practicing his 'change' since the ship was the only thing keeping them from exploding decompression. He could smell Tabby under the door, then realized she left when her scent was gone with the sound of footsteps. He sat down with his legs crossed, and closed his eyes as he tried to meditate on the entire situation. In two minutes, he suddenly felt like his eyes were pulled out and sent far away to view the galaxy they were in. The entire experience snapped him out of the trance, but he could remember two blips on the 'map' that near the location they were going to arrive at.

I wonder if Mom feels this everytime... or is it just because I'm not entirely her race?

"Dont worry about your health," said Kane, pointing to the ceiling. "They heard you." He looked over at the ferret pressed against Leo. She was shaking, and kept gripping at Leo's clothes.
"We should be going," she said. "We need to go, we have to go, we have to find them, or... nothing. Nothing will happen. I'm fine." Her eyes were clamped shut, and held tight to Leo. The tiger moved to the corner again, and lay down. The leopard rolled his eyes and sighed.





Tabby sauntered to her room, passing Jetho on the way, catching a stroke along his tail as she went. She didn't look back at him, and simply carried on to her room, closing it behind her. She put her bag by the bed, kicked off her boots, pulled off her gloves, put her sunglasses into her belt and put the whole collection to the side before laying down and shutting her eyes.

Leo nodded a bit wrapping the arm around her to confert her before murmering "I understand..." He than looked up back to the tiger "Not to friendly is he?" he asked tilting his head. He now began to wander what time it was begining to regret and at the same time was happy about not haveing one. Examining the bord game he let out a sigh before picking up a piece "I think we can make this a bit more intresting..." he said rotateing it slowly watching it glint, then setting it down and picking up a card "They dont mind if I make an adjustment right?"

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Kane gave a smile.
"Go right ahead. As for my friend, he might have the right idea. If your girlfriend keeps acting like that, something might happen." He glanced around the room, then to Leia, watching her.

[tangletail]

Looking down to Leia with a concerned look he said "Yeah, well you cant blame fear, after what your friend in the elevator said." He then looked back up reshapeing the cards to resemble what looks like 3d paper soldiers and vehicules "You probably lost all fear from doing this, I lost most of mine from the rather poorly thought out safety techniques during sampleing or testing, she's just a bit nervous thats all... or just have an overdose of adrenalin. Either or" he added as he fliped the board over tearing strips out of the rest of the cards "Now then, this is a game of war. Its simple, you use six strips to move a soldier, three for a tank, and 8 for a starship. To attack for a soldier flick a small ball of paper" holds up a very small ball "Tanks use something bigger, and ships, just drop a card over the board were ever it lands its blown."

Trade Market #32, a veritable hurricane of colours sounds and smells. A potent mixture of engine oil, axle grease and the shouts of thousands of merchants and potential buyers filled the large hangar. Tess Blaze and Yuri sat on the empty trolley, chatting as the crowds of people flowed around them "Well.... The guy got his engine part alrigh'..." Tess was flicking through a wad of credits, counting under her breath.

Blaze watched her sorting through the money, tapping his thumb distractedly against the steel surface of the trolley. Beside him, Yuri swung his legs back and forth. Being the youngest of the group, he could barely reach the steel-grate flooring. Blaze shifted closer to Tess, watching closely as she licked her thumb and forefinger, to help seperate several particularly oil-stained credits. He nudged her foot with his, smirking "Its thanks to your haggling skills that we got so much for that loada crap..."

She nudged his foot in return, smirking as well "Yeah well... Its thanks to your strange desire to keep on living that you didnt die today in the medbay..." She looked up, unzipping her overalls and shoving the money into an inside pocket "Say, what did happen when you where out with yer ma'... Y' still didnt tell me..."
Blaze shrugged, tugging at a fold in his dark red fatigues "The usual. Ran into something we weren't expecting... I got poisoned by some crazed machine, and then yet again i lived..."

Tess grinned, jumping down from the trolley "The epic tales of Blaze Yantova continue, eh?... C'mon, lets go down to the mag-tracks... This place is gettin' boring..."

Kane took the pieces and prepared for the game, while Abel stayed where he was, while keeping an eye on Leia, who became more and more restless. She wrapped her arms around Leo and rocked back and forth against his chest. She was mumbling and murmuring against him. Kane frowned.
"Yeah well... most people who act like that have something wrong with them. Fear only does so much." He started the game off

Vuranin finally decided to go find Nero, but was unaware of where exactly he was when she closed the 'gap' between them, and again banged her head against the door that seperated her from the target. It was always the doors, when the target was reached through the window she never hit the window or felt any pain. This time, she was able to stay consious, and look at the hall she was in. It looked like it was designed to keep something in, and she was right in the middle of the 'intake' process.

"Anyone by the name of Nero?" she yelled as she banged against the door, hoping that her voice was at least remotely understood on the other side of the door.

[Entaru]

Leia's head suddenly turned to the door as Nero heard his name.  Her eyes flashed black at the sudden movement, Nero losing a bit of concentration in trying to get a better look at the door.  Leia breathed in deeply, allowing Nero to smell everything in the vicinity. 

He could smell the plastic of the freshly torn cards, the sterilization mixture that was sprayed on the walls, the electricity flowing through the wires of the cameras around them...but there was something else. 

Something behind that door...

Something immortal.

Leia's lips rose into a snarl as Nero placed the scent.  ....VuraniN....

Deep inside the steel belly of the Mechanicus carrier, the sound of revving engines and thumping bass echoed through long unused corridors. The Mag-tracks, famous racing grounds of the Mechanicus Mag-Bikes and their racers, where the focal point of all black-market entertainment in the large ship. Tess sat, legs dangling over the track on a rickety catwalk. Beside her sat Blaze and Yuri, all three watched from behind by the ever present droid RUST-E...

"You reckon ther'l be a crash today?" Tess spat down onto the track below, listening as the saliva hit the magnetic strips with a loud sizzle. Blaze shrugged, watching the racers line up... Tess looked across at him, and then back down to the track "Hows the bike?... You smashed it up a fair bit didn'ya!" Blaze simply smirked, looking back at her. Her bleach-blonde bangs hung over either side of her bright blue eyes, welding goggles pushed up over her forehead and always the same excitable buzz in her expression.

"Hey! Snap out of it!" Blaze shook his head, blinking as Tess snapped her fingers under his nose. She smirked as he looked back down at the track, cheeks flushing "Man, you where out of it...... So whadya think, anyone gonna crash today?"

[tangletail]

Paused for a minute unconsiously before saying "Oh really?" looking up at him. His ear flicked hearing the doors being banged against "... Isnt that a blast door?!" He asked recalling how thick the door was on his entrance. Tilting his head a bit before letting his eyes widen at the mentioning of Nero. He looked down at Leia before looking over at Kane "Is this normal?" asking motioning to the door with his head.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Kane stared at the door, and Abel sat up, pushing himself back to the wall.
"No that is not normal at all," said the leopard. He stood to his feet and crept over to the door, putting his ear to it. He mouthed 'who's Nero?' over to Leo, while Abel stood up, looking confused.

[tangletail]

Carefully removes Leia from his chest, and stands up. After he stands up he moves them to the side of the room haveing a bad feeling about the sterdiness of the doors "This is rather hard to explain... so... my lips are sealed" he said watching the door as his back pressed against the wall feeling something poke him, after thinking for a minute he realized they didn't even bother to search him seeing how he still has his gun.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Vuranin thought over the question 'Who's Nero?', but her answer left much to be desired.

"I don't know, all I know is that he is in that room, and inside something." She looked around the hall, and noticed that there was a camera aimed right at her face, and that made her frown. She walked her way over to the camera and put her thumb-talon right on the lens of the camera.

"Its impolite to stare, you know..." she said aloud before breaking the lens with the claw of her talon before yanking the camera out with a tug that could have pulled an entire arm off.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Who are you?" Kane yelled out, as they all backed away from the door.
