Defusing Embers

*Cookie finally come down into the meeting room to take a look at Ronnie. you can hear the sounds of her cane tapping the cold hard floor as the door finally opens*

Well...for someone who almost got executed....blowned to bits..you actually look great...didn't expect us here did you?

I know..still shocked from us surviving...*she sits down on the other side of the table from Ronnie*

you do realize you're now a huge terrorist now right? and every step you take..you need to consider with caution? You were on the hit-list from an organization known as The Royal Army..They are the ones who destroyed the base and want us dead...*she starts putting papers on the table from a folder and hands it to Ronnie*

These guys know our every move...they've been trained to know how to deal with us...

*I cross my arms until the papers are put on the table. I open the folder to take a peak of the intel she's laying out for me*

I assume...these are the guys who own a big Death Machine warship in the sky? hm...yeah...they had these spears on chains...kinda like Hanzo Hasashi..but they were covered in this goey..substance..they seem to counter balance my demonic powers....

Goey like substance? Sounds like that stuff the U.S. tried to use to keep conduits in control...you have to be careful with these guys Mao..They can be very dangerous...they don't know we're still alive..at least not that i know of..but.....tread carefully...

Please..Don't Call me Mao...As a matter of fact....I kinda want a jar of this goey shit..i don't even want to use my powers anymore...they are starting to become even out of my own control...it's not easy sometimes...especially when i lose my temper.....If i can't contol my temper i cant control my powers...this would make it easy for them to track me..and i'm not having that...besides...

*i look away talking in the other direction*

I miss my old life of being a normal person sometimes. Being immortal isn't as fun as you think it is...You no longer are capable of controlling human emotions...and the Conduit inside you always wan'ts to control you...it's a constant mind war game..waiting to see who slips up..and who wins..

*Looks back at Cookie*

Back in Rome..i wanted to just walk away...shimmer home..and forget about today...but then again..if i'd done that..i'd probably sucked inside the Underworld for eternity..and became a full demon again...

*She looks at Ronnie with a whole new point of view. She starts to see Ronnie more of a Suffering individual and less of a raging demon*

Right.....And the Explosion at your Castle...probably was set up By the Royalist...No doubt your staff there might had something to do with it..

*Stepping into the room after standing outside the door for a bit, she held a small skinny folder in her hands and sat down in an empty seat.* Hope I'm not interrupting anything, but Ronnie, we'll get you some of that goo if you want, and maybe work on making it permanent.

*Putting the folder on the table and slipping it over to Cookie, she sighed.* I don't think the Royalists had anything to do with the explosion, I think that was just the staffs goodbye present. Idiots probably didn't get out alive in time though.

Anyways, I've compiled everything I know about the original small faction Royalists, back when I was working for them before NMB. Where do you want me to start?

*Glares at Cookie while talking*

And i should have been there for it to explode..i should've died back there...as a matter of fact..i should've been the one at the base...you don't know how bad i wished it was me instead of you guys...that's why i'm depressed..you have no idea how i wanted to end it all back in Rome..

*voice start to slowly get louder*

I wanted them to end it all! end my pain..end the suffering...end this curse i've put myself into..all for what? it has done nothing but cause me misery...now that i'm not longer a Demon Queen...what's the use for all of it? what's the USE for living anymore?

*Quickly grabs Cookies Pistol and aim it straight at my own temple*

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW BAD I WANT THIS TO WORK!!!

*i pull the trigger as a loud bang goes off. a huge hole is left inside my brain and some of it splattered over the wall. my head gets tilted back as i appear dead for 5 minutes then i raise back up in tears screaming*

WHY!?!?!?!?!?!? AAAAAH!! WHY CANT IT JUST END HERE!?!?!?

*i hit my head on the new table that was built and start weeping. after a few minutes i wipe the blood and tears from my face*

No....You know what...i have one last purpose before i die....I want to do whatever it takes...to make sure these guys are dead before me...I know there's no Heaven for me...but i know there is a True hell..for The Royalist........

Tell me what i have to do...

*suddenly the door burst open and jess comes in*

Figures...i wouldn't blame them......they became punching bags to my misery..

*Cookie stares at her gun now covered in Ronnie's DNA*

Right.....gonna have to bleach that now.....


If you wanna help us..we're gonna need someone who can gather intel. Mostly in The Moscow Region..Last time i check they still having a civil War there...even though you really don't wanna use your powers..you could probably occasionally use them to help us gain the advantage..we need to know as much as possible about these guys.

*raises my head up with the gun wound still showing*

*i create a fireball in my left hand* These are just combat powers...these hands were made to just kill..*Closes fist to extinguish*

However...with a few resources..it wont take long before i have eyes in every fucking continent..i just need power...for now.

Alright..in the meantime might wanna take a few trips with Rein...

And maybe..i think there is some serious fowl play going on as well..

all in all..we need a team of people to start grabbing resources..i've tinkered with the Fulton Recovery Devices where it should handle Cargo and light vehicles..though i'd limit it to one item at a time..the chopper can only support so much weight.....and i was gonna build our own generators..but i figured we can fulton those too..

We can send Rein and his guys in with Kev as backup, there's still a lot we have to talk about when it comes to getting a foot ahead of the Royalists. Plus, we need to go talk a bit more with Sara, the sooner we can figure out who the real traitor is, the better.

*The double doors to the meeting room both slam open as I enter fully armed*

Actually I must request we hold off for a bit,I have some personal business to attend to.

*Flinching and sighing, she nods* Alright, and what would that be? Do you need to go shopping at Hot Topic? Maybe see a concert? What do you have to do today?

@Jess wrote:

Alright, and what would that be?

A job. Just a small simple basic delivery that's all. But the client offered me some resources we could really use.

*I rub my neck nervously*

I kind of fired up my old mercenary job when our old home was destroyed.....and I wasn't even sure if you were alive....I closed it when I found out but someone beat me to closing it back up.....

*Standing up, she pulls Kev out of the room and closes the door behind them* You know I don't trust you going out there, least of all alone. What if those people want to hurt you? They have to know about the bounty on our heads, every criminal in the world must know.

I'm not too keen on it either. It's not in any royalist populated area. The job description was weird as fuck too.
They're scared to deliver it cus of some super superstitious bullshit.

*overhears the conversation in the med area at my bed*

Huh.? *continues to easedrop in*

*Crossing her arms, she sighs* We'll let Rein go mining like he wants and send Ronnie with him to protect him and show him around the area. You and I will go do your deal, it'll be like old times. That alright?

*lays back down normally when i hear footsteps*

Damn it...i'm missing the action in this shit....They making money moves

@Jess wrote:

Ofcourse,but I thought you had business with that....midget....

*I hear Nathan in the other room*

Doc I think you're needed.

We'll always be able to talk later. *A soldier in scrubs comes up to her, handing her a clipboard as she smiles and walks to the med bay.* Come get me when you're ready.

*Stepping into the room, she closes the doors behind her and looks down at the clipboard, walking up to Nathan. Setting it down on the table beside him, she grabs a new bandage and puts her hand on Nathan's shoulder, bringing him to sit up.*

So, tell me how you feel, and only the god honest truth or I'll keep adding time to how long you're not allowed to go back to missions. *Pulling off the bandage around his chest, she takes off the square bandages covering the wounds and begins cleaning and disinfecting them with a warm cloth and a disinfectant.*

*After she's done that, she rebandages and throws the dirty ones in a trash can.*

Doc i feel restricted layed up in this bed. i don't even that much pain anymore.

Oh you don't? Then lets test your combat reflexes. *She quickly smacks him hard in the chest*

@Jess wrote:

I wasn't ready. i thought you was gonna hit a fly.

Alright then. *Growing bored, she goes over to the other side of the bed and lifts it up, dropping him on the floor and letting the bed fall on him. Grabbing the clipboard, she writes him off as released and walks out of the room.* Boring.
