(Hel knelt by Ragnor and waved her hand in front of his face.) Hey Buddy? You doin’ okay? (She was too preoccupied with the waking Ragnor to notice the newbies had been sent away.)
(Hel knelt by Ragnor and waved her hand in front of his face.) Hey Buddy? You doin’ okay? (She was too preoccupied with the waking Ragnor to notice the newbies had been sent away.)
Ragnor: Blinks a bit as a hand is suddenly being waved in his face. Turns his head a bit to look at Hel, a slight grin crossing his features
Well hey there good-looking
Eve: S-s-stupid! I-idiot still a-able to make horrible jokes!
Ragnor: Laughs
Well, shit can't get any worse right now
(Hel pumps her fist in the air for success.) Yes! I'm good looking!I I mean I already knew that, but being recognized for it is dope! (She stops her victory dance and places a hand on Ragnor's chest. Her eyes widen in pleasant surprise.) Wow… lems did a great job on your ribs! I'm so proud of him… (She wipes a fake tear from her eye.) How are you feeling? Any pressure or discomfort?
Ragnor: Opens his mouth to answer, when instead ends up coughing
Eve…p-please stop beating me…
Eve: Is honest-to-god beating his shoulder with tiny fists, still sobbing
Faal: Steps forward, very lightly taking the small familiar in one of his hands
Eve, hush little one.
Continues to speak softly, his English soon changing into a whole different language. Whatever it is, his words seem to reassure, calming the tiny, frantic familiar
Ragnor: Oh, so it was Sunny who healed me then?
Chuckles, though body flinches at Hel's touch
Damn't…despite the healing body is still tender…
Faal: The bones are most likely softer than usual. They will harden again in due time. Most likely a side-effect, as a new magic was being introduced into your system and blood. Just be thankful you are still alive
Ragnor: Yea, guess you're right about that…did anyone manage to kill that thing?
Faal: Shakes his head
I don't believe so…Ragnor…don't even think about trying to hunt it. Let a more experienced slayer take care of it
Ragnor: Seems about ready to argue, but eyes shift to his right, demonic arm. Sighs, closing his eyes
Yea, you're right…still hard to try and wrap some of those things around my head…can't take everything on by myself
Looks back to Hel, a small smile returning to his features
Eh, I'll be good. Not the worse I've been put through. Just been awhile since I've been smacked around like that. Usually I'm not so quick to jump right into a fight like that
(Experienced slayer? Experienced Slayer?? Experienced slayer??? Hel almost wanted to laugh, she wanted to laugh and howl and cackle like the witch she is. She wanted to so bad, because Hex actually dying sounds too good to happen. She does "die" a little while down the road, but that isn't until after she's already carved a bloodied, bleeding hole into the side of the world. Like a bubonic plague with teeth. But she didn't laugh. That'd be rude. Instead, she opted to be doctorly and give Ragnor a quick unprofessional checkup.) Does anywhere else hurt? Or was it just your ribs that got effed up? (She decided not to touch him as he flinched beforehand. She offered a small smirk.) And I like that nickname for him. "Sunny". I'll need to throw that at him.
Ryder: Yeah, so. I don't know what is going on.
Ameria: Me either Finishes braiding Mizu's hair.
Mizu: shrugs
(Hel clapped her hands in excitement at new and old faces.) Hey Ameria, Mizu! Glad to see you! Literally nothing happened while you were gone! Nothing! No horrific monster that wanted to devour you guys and cursed my boyfriend by breathing on him and chucked Ragnor into a wall! Nope! (She turns to Ryder.) S’up! What’s your name newbie?
Ameria: You guys ok? is panicked
(Hel looked at the girl in slight surprise. Dang, so she heard that one part, huh. Hel needs to get faster at talking over important details.) I mean… I wasn't here when it happened, Philip was, though. Just, don't worry about it, she's gone. And if she does come back, she'll just want me! So you guys will be okay! (Hel put out a convincing wide smile to assure Ameria that they definitely WON'T die.) Where were you guys anyway?
Ameria: Mizu took me home so I could change.
(Hel had an astonished look on her face.) Change? Like, change clothes. You missed out on a terrifying bloodthirsty beast that treats the whole world like a buffet stand and can warp the system of reality to teleport organs outside of people's bodies, but you went home to change your clothes? Dude! Just do what I do and wear a robe everyday! (The irony is, she is not wearing a robe. It is a bedsheet she calls a robe.)
"Ummm… No thank you"
(Hel jokingly rolled her eyes.) Fine whatever, bro. Live your life like you love your life! (She puts out her classic goofy smile, but it formed into sour grin.) I mean, it was actually really, really good that you weren’t here either. She can’t kill people outside of our realm, but she can main them heinously. (Her grin became flat and sour become bitter. She shook her head and tried to find something else to think about.)
Ameria: Any music you like?
(Hel perked up at that.) Yeah! Folks back in my world don’t make music, but humans have such AWESOME ways of making them! (She thought for a moment.) I really like the songs that talk SUPER FAST. Like uhhh, hm you don’t know what they’re saying at first, but after listening to it for months, you can repeat what they’re saying? I love those! (She looks at the girl.) What about you? What do your ears fancy?
Ameira: Ummm
Mizu: She like songs that make people depressed
Ameria: Mizu!
Faal: Had calmed Eve down to where the small familiar is asleep in the palm of his hand. Actually smiles a bit, though his form suddenly goes rigid. Eyes glow, as if listening and hearing something only he can hear. Stands up, settling Eve down in Ragnor's lap
Forgive me friend, but I am being called. There has been a sighting of Corruption near my territory
Grimaces
And as we all know, that must be dealt with swiftly
Stands, starting to walk away
Ragnor: Tries to get up, but ends up falling back down. Coughs, a small amount of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth
Faal: Pauses, glancing backwards
Stay and rest. You are in no condition to fight
A smirk crosses the dragon's features, a pair of wings suddenly springing from his back
Besides, I like to have a little fun myself. It is entertaining to come up with flammable ideas, since I am no fire dragon
Steps through somewhere, disappearing completely
Chesh helped prop Ragnor up. "Ragnor, if you can't stand without coughing up blood then your not going." She said with a chuckle. "If your coughing up blood you probably broke a rib." She said looking at his chest. "Probably would explain why no one can touch your chest with you you being in pain."
(Hel shook her head back and forth as she accidentally astral projected into a Duck for a few minutes and patted Ragnor on the head.) They’re right, Buddy. Better to sit down and wait for your injuries to properly heal. Magic juice can only do so much.
Ragnor: Allows Chesh to help him lean his back against the wall. All while being careful with Eve now moved to his good left hand, still sleeping soundly
Yea…just hard to sit back and feel rather useless
Rubs the back of his hand with his right claw. Pauses, looking at the limb
Man, was really hoping I wouldn't have had this happen in public…prefer keeping this limb hidden
(Hel gave a look of pity and concern.) Aw no, dude, don't say that, you're not useless. If it's any consolation, I was hoping my evil twin sister wouldn't eff ya up. (She produces an awkward smile to lighten the mood. She gives an off glance at the revealed limb.) So is this a curse of some sort? Or were you born with this? Or did you piss off a goose? (She goes to poke it, but hesitates for caution's sake.)
Ragnor: Yea
Flexes the claws, a sad smile on his face
Suppose you could call it a curse, more like a infection. My stupid younger days when I tried summoning, and ended up summoning the wrong thing
Closes eyes, sighing
Ended up being an abomination, and course it had to be an ancient one, one of the most dangerous of abominations. Attacked, and I didn't have much time to react. As Abominations, they possess extremely powerful chaos magic, chaos which hails from way back only the gods and goddesses know when.
Lot of history, to shorten that shit, the chaos infected this arm, twisting and sculpting it to what you see here. Thankfully Lunyo had managed to save me in time before the chaos could fully infect my body and turn me into an abomination
Also the reason I take this…
Reaches into the leather pouch attached to his belt, pulling out the syringe from much much earlier
(Hel listened intently, astonished by the story. Summoning an abomination of chaos sounds truly terrifying. And losing an arm to that chaos sounds even worse. Hel frowns in sympathy.) I don't think you're an abomination, bud. You're a cool old dude with a cool lil critter. Your Lunyo sounds lucky to have had a swell guy like yourself in her life. (She offers a simple, but genuine smile.)
Ragnor: Eyes settle on Hel, returning her with a kind smile
Cool old dude with a few minor problems
Chuckles
But then again, we all have problems
A sudden whirl followed by what appears to be a young girl, close to 15-17 years old. Upon her shoulder is a creature that looks like a cross of a mutated raven and a dragon
???: Hm…oh…there you are Ragnor
Approaches, her features being completely emotionless
Ragnor: sits up a bit more, wincing slightly
Hey Esh, heh…thought I said having my tonic delivered to my home at the reserve
Eshirreia: Still remains completely emotionless as she speaks
Please, I asked of you before to speak my name; Eshirreia
