Acension city

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded, and scooped Acon up, carrying her like a child. "Yeah...he's got Ronnie under surveillance. If he's half as smart as I think he is, Ronnie's death isn't news." He reached Acon's room, and lowered her into her bed. "Get some rest, alright?" Ray smiled, and left, turning out the lights. He headed down stairs, and found Ronnie's body gone. "Jesus. Tough bastard." Ray picked up the discarded clothes, and found another note, signed by Ronnie. A few drops of blood sat on the corner.


/Gotta be better than that, Ray. Mad that I got your girl first, huh? Too bad you interrupted. I'll be sure to finish next time./
  F**k you,
  Ronnie K.


Ray crumpled the note, and sighed. He'd have to keep an eye on Acon. Ronnie was crazy, and wouldn't try alone. Ray shook at the thought, and put Acon's clothes in the washing machine, after emptying her pockets. He sat in the arm chair, across from the couch, and stared at the blood stain.

[Aconitum]

Acon lied in bed for a moment before she turned on her light and started reading. She hoped it was last they'd see of Ronnie, but after tonight, the thought almost sadned her.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray blinked, and decided it was late enough. He ascended the stairs, and stopped at Acon's room. "Still awake? Well...if you need anything, you know where I am." He patted the threshold of the doorway, and walked into his room. Ray undressed, and got in bed. After a few moments, he removed his mechanical arm, and propped it up in the corner. He sat on the bed, and scratched at the RIG. After a few moments, he fell asleep.

[Aconitum]

Acon turned out her light after a few hours and set her book beside her. Almost immediately, she was fast asleep.

[The Magic Otter]

HAL carried Ronnie under a bridge, having been the one to help him back at Acon's house. "Y' know, we're rather similar you an' I"

Frank woke up and cuddled Satan who was beside him.

[Farewell]

*Zaida woke up next to zero and smiles tiredly* ~yawns~ "good morning sleepy head"

[Aconitum]

Acon woke up and headed down the stairs for breakfast. She poured herself a bowl of oat meal and made a stack of pancakes.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray awoke, and shuffled downstairs. He blinked, and smiled when he saw Acon. "Morning."

[Aconitum]

Acon turned around to face Ray and returned his smile. "Good morning. Breakfast?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded. "Sure, thanks. Feeling better?" He walked over, and sat at the table, scratching at his arm-less shoulder.

[The Magic Otter]

HAL looked at Ronnie. "D' ya like how I fixed ya up?"

[Aconitum]

Acon shrugged as she put a few pancakes on a plate and sat it infront of Ray. "Yeah, a little."

[Rayleonarde]

Ronnie coughed, and looked down at himself. "Sure, why not? I mean...thanks, stranger." He held out his paw. "I'm Ronnie. How'd you know where I was?"


Ray nodded. "Well good. I'm glad to hear your feeling better." He grabbed a fork, and smiled. "I haven't had a hot breakfast in a while." Ray cut into the pancakes, and took a bite.

[Aconitum]

Acon smiled. "Yeah? Herman used to have a nanny around when I was little. She made the best pancakes. Then Herman killed her cause her husband was a major drug lord." Acon shrugged and drowned her meal with syrup and butter.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged. "Well, I guess he's against other families in his?"
