Aldreda has unlocked: MED BAY! To the east of the training room, a new area unlocked. With a large red plus sign that probably broke some kind of Geneva convention, a new black building arose. It was one floor, and had no real windows facing the outside. On the inside there were three beds and cabinets full of all the surgical and medical supplies you could ever want. There were also medical grade showers and baths, an x-ray machine, MRI, and some... Weird metal device you could step on to? Hm, who knows what that does. Everyone rest up and say thank you Aldreda!

... There was also a pile of ashes sitting on the floor here. Did someone spontaneously combust here or...?

Heeheee. He licked his nose. That was cute. Connie wandered into the new room alongside Lykos, scanning the place. "It's really cute," she agreed, unable to hide her wide grin. "Starlight. Starrrlight. I can do kinda starry-like stuff, too- though its still just lightning- eh." There was a pile of ash on the floor. A very familiar pile of ash... "...Aldreda?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

The wolf trotted along side her, their head low (but still in Connie’s reach). It had been ages since they thought about that nickname. Still, it made her happy. That was all that mattered. “Starlight, it’s- yes, bright like you.” A glimmer of hope in eternal darkness. A wish on flying light for freedom. Only a moment ago had she been seconds from tears. This poor girl deserved better. They stopped with her, staring at the empty room. They sniffed a bit, smelling some ash... “That was the fiery one, correct?” They squinted a bit, seeing no one. @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Seemingly upon being given attention by others, the ash began to glow a pulsing orange and red color. It swirled up and around Lykos and Connie, before coalescing in front of them in to Aldreda. Her hair was still fiery, but her temperature had mostly returned to normal. "Ah! Back here." She took in a deep breath and tossed the frog totem she was holding aside. "Aaaaaaanyway, Con-con! And a big dog! Nice to see ya!" She gave Connie a little pat on the head. "Sorry if ya saw me get so heated in there, that owl was just not saying the nicest things!" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Connie patted her hands together delightfully as the Aldreda began to reform, watching with wonder as she came back from...ashiness. "Aldreda!" she beamed, before immediately squeaking and diving after the totem. "Eep-" Connie squealed, diving after the discarded totem. She caught it in her hands before it hit the ground, shuffling back to her feet to be met with a little headpat. A lot of people liked to do that, huh? "It's alright! It was really stressful- I was frickin'. Losing it, watching you fight. I was so worried you were gonna lose!" Connie said, holding out the totem for her. "That's Lykos! He's a wolf! And he has doctorates!" That was the only important information for her to know, really. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

The wolf’s ear flicks a bit at being called a dog once more. Still, he smiles at Connie as she introduces them. “I am Dr. Lykos, good to meet you Aldreda. Your power is quite interesting. I haven’t seen any sort of fire magic that versatile.” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"Don't worry about that totem, I don't even know what it's for! That weird frog guy just kept insisting I take it." She chuckled. "I'd introduce myself, but it seems like my reputation proceeds me! I guess that'll happen when they announce your name all across the maze.." "And thank you Lykos! They're not fire powers, though. They're Phoenix powers, that's what you saw back there in the arena! All courtesy of my brother a while back." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Connie held the totem instead, peering a bit at the little orb that sat in it. She'd never seen it this close before- she knew the winner got it, and that was about it. She tapped the orb a little with her finger. It looked all feathery-like? She didn't really know what to expect. "Aldreda's immortal," Connie explained, absent-mindedly. "She needs oxygen to exist, pretty much." Wait, space doesn't have oxygen. Right? @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

They tilted their head a little. “I do not know what a phoenix is.” Some sort of fire magic bird evidently. They looked at the totem curiously before looking surprised. “You- you’re immortal?” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

The stone.. just sat there..? Yeah, not too sure what that's for. "Yep, I need air and fuel! I was struggling a bit in those clouds with all the water, but I managed." Aldreda moved her hands on to her hips. "And now ya know what a Phoenix is! A bird that rises up from its ashes after it burns out! That makes me functionally immortal, even if my flames die, given enough time, air, and fuel, I can be brought back. I've taken about year long breaks max, but I could do more! I've just got too much life to live to miss out on, specially now back home. Speaking of, I need to make another phone call. A pal of mind is getting our location from the phone and Rakin rudely interrupted by pulling me in to that dreadful hooped area." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

At ease, Connie returned to just holding the totem in her arms, swaying a little as Aldreda spoke. She knew all this stuff about phoenixes already, but she was a little surprised that Lykos didn't know! "They're finding our location!" Connie gasped, almost (almost) dropping the totem a bit. "What! How! How! Is it actually working? Can you actually go home?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Their tail wagged a bit as she explained. Immortality, power over fire, shapeshifting, what a fantastic ability! “Fascinating! Are there others like you? And that shapeshifting, is that limited to bird forms?” Finding their location? Their tail stopped and lowered. That was good news, a possible escape and yet- Static, lights, static, lights, static, lights They attempted to flood their mind with the abrasive energy of the tape. If they weren’t careful, It could learn of this, ruin everything- Something shifts in the doctor, now bristling with an almost panicked look. “Be more careful with what you say, we’re being watched.” They spoke in a hushed voice. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ (edited)

"Oh yeah, my girls and I are all phoenixes, we live in a coven off-" Aldreda was happily explaining before she saw the change in Lykos' demeanor. "What? Watched? Where? By who?" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Connie squeaked a little, lowering her voice juuust a smidge. "Watched? I mean, I figured so, Rakin seems to know a bunch about the happenings here." She shifts a bit, a little closer to the pair; "Are you alright, Lykos? You look spooked." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Lights static noise lights static noise lights static noise lights static- They grimaced, speaking through sharp teeth. “That- that thing is listening-“ As they spoke, they just so happened to make contact with the totem in Connie’s hands. A sudden projection shines out of the orb of the totem, showing a dark figure wrapped in flowing cloak. Six glowing eyes stared down from the projection- before a blinding array of neon colors flashed, accompanied by a cacophony of high pitched violet noise. The wolf yelped, flinching away from the totem. They looked even more shaken than before. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ (edited)

"Ah!" Aldreda yelped at the sudden noise and very spooky projection. She moved her hand over Connie's eyes and with her other held the totem away from both of them. The projection and noises ceased. "What- what was that- why does this thing Rakin gave me have a obnoxious ghost in it?!" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"What th-" Connie yelped, loudly at the sudden appearance of- of- of something- though she didn't have much time to see what exactly it was before Aldreda was covering her eyes. The staticky noise was frickin' awful. She tried to cover her ears as best as she could, but the noise was gone as soon as it arrived. "Was that the Grim Reaper?! What was that!" Connie exclaimed, still unable to see. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Lykos had backed away a good distance, trembling with their head low and eyes wide with panic. Once the apparition disappears, they shake their head quickly, steeling themself. Their shaking dies down and their breathing calms. “That- that has bought us some time. That is the host of this tournament. I had the great misfortune of meeting it. This creature can read minds and alter them- force you to feel and see things against your will. I have good reason to believe it is also controlling Rakin, forcing him to cohost this tournament.” They take a deep breath. “That awful cacophony is one of the few things that can deter it. I found it on a tape on the other side. It is imperative as many people here as possible watch it, I think- stars, I hope it can stop it from reading our minds. It is our only defense against its horrible power.” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ (edited)

Once she was pretty sure it wasn't going to pop back up, she moved her hand away from Connie's face. "That's the host? I've only ever met the tiny frog guy!" Aldreda shook her head, baffled by this information. "But it can read minds, and that.. Noise can deter it. But that doesn't explain why touching the frog statue does that. And are we supposed to listen to that noise forever? No offense to the composer, but it's awful..!" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Connie blinked at the sudden light again, nose scrunched a bit as she tried to readjust to it. The host? "The host?" she echoed. Not Rakin. His 'master' or something. "And- and it can...control people? Give them visions and- and stuff?" "That noise...is annoying," she admitted, squinting a bit. "Why, why did it only happen when you touched it? I was fine touching it!" That noise could deter them. That noise could make them weak. 'Together, they managed to destroy the Pilarians base and use their acute sensitivity to sound against them.' With a short little gasp, Connie floundered, shaking her hands frantically. "I- argh- argh-" She had so much to say, but she didn't know if that- that- that thing was still listening, or something. "Is it s-safe to talk? Can we talk? I- argh!" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

They looked to the totem again, slowly walking back towards the two of them. They sat, lifting a paw hesitantly. “It should be safe for a moment. I.. I can try it once more to be safe. I should. Let me touch it again.” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"Okay okay- just- does the creepy ghost thing have to appear with it? It sounds like you just need the noise.." Aldreda slowly held out the totem toward Lykos. "And if this does work, I have some.. Things to say as well." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"I need a paper, or something, or a chart, or something," Connie muttered, shaking her hands with much more intensity than before. She could probably word everything, but everything was so. Frazzly now. She shuffled a bit closer to Aldreda as she held out the totem to Lykos. She hoped it worked...however it did. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

They took a deep breath and placed their paw onto the totem. Lights static noise lights static noise lights static noise light- Again the orb sent out a projection, this time without the strange creature, only the horrible noises and lights. They bristled, but held firm. “Speak now. This thing can project memories or thoughts- whatever it is. We’re safe.” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"What a strange thing to give me after that fight but- if it works it works.." Aldreda sighed. "Go on Con-Con, you speak first. Mines just about my phone call." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Connie...tried to keep her thoughts on track and a little bit...understandable. She tried. "Rakin killed all the Pilarians," Connie burst out. "Well- well, he did it with these other guys, Galleons? And, he- uh- well, they killed every Pilarian, except one- oh, um, Pilarian's are the amphib god's species, except one- um, 'cause his hearing was? Worse? He couldn't hear as well as the, the others. The Pilarian's have really good hearing and they hold all of the knowledge in the universe. Like- oh, the fight!" "That's why the questions asked about Celena and the other guy's personal stuff! They know their, their information and stuff! And- and- I'unno if it's read minds or if they just know, but that's not important! I mean, it kind of is, but not as important?" Connie fiddled with her hair anxiously, rushing past her words. "Mm, and, um- you said it might be controlling Rakin, to make him like, host- cohost- this- thing, yeah- and it's- I mean, it makes sense! I- I think? 'Cause why would Rakin like, want them. To come back after killing them all?" But he sounded genuine when talking to her. He sounded sad. "I- mmm, I'm done. I'm done talking. Okay. I'm done. Talking. That took a bit. Okay." She was still tugging a bit at her hair tufts. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

As she spoke, Lykos’ focus on the noise wavered. The projection fades into something else. The image of a man- one that looked strikingly like Rakin. Albeit with different hair and eyes. Eyes still filled with hope. The image shifted to a dilapidated and broken base. Debris and a strange light blue liquid floating around it. A voice much like Rakin’s now spoke. There was a bit of the terrible noise overlaying it. “-that power is also their weakness. Their base was entirely soundproof. Until the Galleons and I breached it. It was simple from there to take them down. Any sound in their presence when unexpected or overpowered makes them no challenge. With too much outside interference, their powers were ineffective. Without those powers, they. are. nothing." “..That is similar to what I learned from this tape. Where did you hear of this, Connie?” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Wow, Aldreda was behind. She didn't even understand a word that frog guy was saying! Well, the current one anyway. She understood the projection that Lykos was showing.. Weird. "Wow that's- that's a lot. And the only thing I really know is that Rakin can read minds at least, he told me about my brother's thoughts, I'm pretty sure. Sorry, I don't have much more to offer. Whenever that guy speaks its nonsense to me. Just nik and nok and cho I don't even know what he's getting at.." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 (edited)

Connie's attention flicked up to the new projection, pale yellow eyes tracking every word, every shift of movement. Any sound in their presence when unexpected or overpowered makes them no challenge. Her attention darts back to Lykos, now. "Mmm, Rakin told me," she steadily says. "When, um, he first zapped me in here. In the stone room with the starry ceiling. H-he told me that, um, the king of the froglings and the Galleons killed every Pilarian- and, and I learned from Zahara- that's the frogling we were talking to the first time, y'know? -she said that Rakin's the king of the froglings. So, um, yeah." "He didn't translate the words for you?" Connie asked, a little surprised. "Mmm, he bopped me on the head a bit and I could hear what he was saying. W-well, he could hear what I was saying, too. I don't think he knows English. Or. Canto. Or. Um..." Her voice trails off. "...mmm, other languages." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

They nodded. “Hm, I met Rakin first, but I could not understand him. That was when-“ Again the projection shifted, but they pulled their paw away before it could fully form. “He must have some sort of magic that can translate language. Hm, Aldreda, what did you have to say?” They placed their paw back, again the awful lights and sounds returned. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ (edited)

"The starry ceiling room..?" Aldreda hadn't seen that either. Only the starry floored room.. "But another crappy king. Not the first I've dealt with. And I don't need to hear all the nonsense he spews." "Aaaaaanyway, about my phone call, it's my pal Bridge. He's getting our location. He said he might be able to get us out by radio waves, whatever that means, he's very smart!" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Connie squinted again, though she didn't try to cover her ears this time. "You talked about Bridge before," she said. She had no clue how radio waves worked. "D-does he know where we are, though? Or is it like...a mmmaybe thing?" "Was that when you met th...at guy?" she asked Lykos, briefly. She was keeping a close eye on the totem thingy. @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

“Hm, how are radio waves meant to.. whatever. If you can call this person again, this could be our chance. I can make the sound while you call, that should stop them from interrupting.” They looked to Connie and nodded, grimacing a bit. “Yes. It is.. powerful.” That was one way to put it. The projection shifted again. The six eyed creature was there again, a black paw at the edge of the image was writhing- and slowly shifting into a pale human hand. Lykos recoiled, shaking their head rapidly. “Damn thing…” @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ (edited)

"It's a very strong maybe, but he said if there's radio waves he might be able to get us out one by one." Aldreda said. As the sound faded out, she made sure to pivot. She saw the hand changing, but didn't comment. "So let's go make that call before anything else weird happens." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"That's! That's good, at least," Connie sighed, eyes widening ever slightly more at the sight of. Of. Of. Was that a human fucking hand. "Mhm!" Connie squeaked, immediately turning to the door and carefully patting Lykos on the back. "Okay- okay, okay, that's a good idea! C'mon, yup yup, let's make'a that phone call!" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Lykos cringed at the memory, as well as their reactions. Best to not think about that. “Yes, let’s.. let’s go. Er…apologies, could one of you carry this thing.” They nudged the totem with their nose. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ (edited)

"I gots it." Aldreda took the totem back in to her possession. Since she had no pockets she used the next best thing! She put that little thing right between her boobs. Ah. Nature's pocket. Thankfully, nothing plays from it. Seems like Aldreda's got a better grasp on her mind than Lykos.. "Let's get a movin', team! Oh, we should make a team name! Like- Aldconkos! That's pretty awful! Mega team fire lightning wolf! A bit better!" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

... Agustin walked in to the med bay, breathing a sigh of relief as he saw it was something actually useful. Not the morbid cocoa exhibit Jymaiyri had predicted. There were all the supplies here that they could need. With his powers, and these supplies, he'd actually be able to help people. He got to rummaging through the cabinets and shelves, trying to figure out the full spread of supplies they had, before his eyes settled on the strange metal machine on the floor.. That was not something he remembered ever seeing in a medical facility before, even when he visited his father at work at the fanciest of clinics. It looks like you stand on it, maybe it does a scan of your feet and recommends some inserts or something like that? Though, there was no screen to look at, just a thin slot off to the side. Maybe it printed out your results there? He stepped up to it, and as soon as both of his feet were on it, a forcefield went up around him. "Wh- wait-" He quickly moved his hands up against the sides, confused and worried that perhaps this was a euthanasia chamber or something equally deadly that was just hanging around a hospital. "Please remain still, med-scan beginning now." "Med-scan..?" Agustin tried to say, but soon felt all his muscles had been stilled, including his mouth and lungs. Oh, well that was not ideal. A thin green line shot up from his feet and up passed his head before going back down, and dropping back down to the floor. It was about a five second process, and after it was over, the forcefield dropped and let Agustin free. He stumbled out, taking in deep breaths now that he was able to. Along with letting him free, a small slip of paper began to print out with fine black print from the slot on the side.. He stared at it as it printed, confused, but curious. Once it was done printing, he took the slip and began to read it over.. And he read it again. And again. And probably about ten times. All the while, he began to pace, gradually approaching one of the beds. He collapsed down in to one of them, curling up and continually re-reading the note..

One moment, Moses was giving Maki a good comforting hug, and the next, he was stumbling over nothing. He fell onto what felt like a table, making a bit of a ruckus. "What the f—" Moses huffed as he regained himself and looked around. His nerves shot up as he looked around the unfamiliar looking room, but he was maintaining himself much better than if lightning had struck him. "Shit.. I must of got moved over again," Moses frowned as he put on his ridiculously big jacket on again and looked around. "Hello? Anyone here?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

... there was a blob shaped outline of a person curled up under a bundle of blankets on the furthest bed from him.. Whoever was under it was alive, thankfully, since they could be heard... Sniffling pathetically. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses raised a brow as he noticed the sniffling and he slowly approached the bed. "Hey, are you okay..?" Moses asked, unsure who it was, but concerned all the same. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

The sniffling went silent as Moses spoke up. Along with whoever was under the blankets entire body. Maybe Moses would give up and walk away... @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He frowned a bit at that. "Listen, I'm not gonna hurt or judge you or anything, but I just want to make sure you're okay..." Moses said with a gentle voice. "..If you really want me to leave, I will. I know things are tough right now." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"..." There was a small, shaky sigh. One that would be familiar to Moses by now. "I-i didn't know you'd be back over here so soon." Agustín said with a shaky voice, still hiding away under the blanket. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses' eyes widened a bit in surprise as he recognized Agustin's voice. "Agustin..? What happened? Are you okay?" His voice was surprisingly soft and worried, and he shuffled closer to the bed. "Are you hurt?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I'm- I'm not fine." Agustín whispered from beneath the blanket. ".. The- the thing in here, it gave me a- a diagnosis. It isn't good... A-and I believe it.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He raised a brow and glanced over the equipment in the room. Moses concluded Agustin must of been talking about the weird looking machine that looked like you could step on. "A diagnosis..?" Moses repeated with a small frown. "..Is it something terminal?" He carefully asked. "How do you know it's true or not?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. Yes, in time. I'm surprised it's taken so long." Agustín sighed. "I know it's true because it said it's Chytridiomycosis, and that's.. That's the disease that killed all my siblings. I guess it's been lying dormant in me all this time. But I've been having a harder and harder time trying to breathe recently... It's starting." "And.. It says that I'm beginning to gain my father's blood powers. Which means he must be losing them.. I-i don't think he has much time left.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses let Agustin explain his diagnosis, his expression turning somber as he went on. It seemed like everyone here was just getting bad news after bad news. Slowly, Moses placed his hand on where he assumed Agustin's shoulder was, giving him a reassuring pat. "I'm sorry.. I know it's not easy to get this kind of information—Especially through some weird alien fighting ring. Really, I'm sorry.." Moses said, giving Agustin his condolences. He let a moment of silence sit between them before speaking again. "...Your father.. there's still time to see him. It may not be too late still," he quietly added. It probably wouldn't do any good to say it, but Moses didn't want Agustin to completely lose hope. Despair would only hinder their chances of getting out of here. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustín didn't move away as Moses put his hand on his shoulder. He slowly rolled back the blanket from his face, and he just looked like a hopeless mess. His eyes were red from crying, though he quickly moved his hands up to cover his face as soon as the blanket had moved. "I-it will take a few weeks to kill me f-from this stage, but.. I-i know Rakin found some kind of cure for the froglings.. they had it.. B-but I don't know if Rakin would bother to help me or not at this point.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Seeing Agustin finally reveal himself, Moses moved his hand. Figuring there would be tissues or rags in the cabinets, he came back with a box of tissues and offered a couple to Agustin. "...Maybe Rakin has more sympathy for you guys, and he probably still needs you. It wouldn't hurt to ask him for help. If anything, you could barter your healing for the cure. Say you won't help him unless he helps you," Moses suggested. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustin moved one of his hands to grab a tissue, which he promptly used to its fullest extent. Gross. ".. W-would he believe that I'd really hold that back..? I've been so eager to help in the past- but I don't.. I don't even want to heal him at all anymore.. He so clearly doesn't deserve it.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses didn't seemed bothered by all of Agustin's snot and tears. He was just worried about his well-being. "He may not believe you, but if he begs for healing, he'll have to come to you regardless. Might as well use it to your advantage," he hummed. Moses sat down on an adjacent bed, sighing as all of this information sank in. "Shit... this is bad, huh.." He grumbled, mainly to himself. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. yeah.. pretty bad.. welcome to my 'pity party', as you called it.." Agustín mumbled. "If you want some awful revelations, you can get all your diagnoses too. Maybe if I'm already extorting a cure for my problems out of Rakin you can get in on it too." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses sighed again, shaking his head. "This is different from that 'pity party'. You're dying, Agustin," he huffed. Moses then looked towards the odd machine, eyeing it with a cold stare before turning back towards Agustin. "I doubt I'll be dying from a sickness anytime soon. The only thing that really runs in my family is diabetes and skin cancer, I believe. And anyways, I doubt Rakin would care about me. We got bad blood as it is." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I think I'm more likely to die from whatever happens at the end of this tournament than th-this illness.. We're a day and a half in by now and.. Over half of everyone has died. Most of the fights have happened.." Agustín sighed. "I just- I just want to go home.. I'm sure everyone does.. D-did you find out anything on the other side that might be useful..?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses pinched the skin between his eyes, currently trying to keep his cool. "..No, not really. I saw the other side had a new ice cream place. It had some.. interesting flavors, but that's all, really. There wasn't anything useful about it other than giving us some shelter from the heat," he sighed. "Speaking of half of everyone dying... there is something I want to talk to you about, Agustin," Moses said and stood up again, walking towards the other man. "There are a lot of kids roaming around... and it seems a lot of the adults around here are getting taken. I have this suspicion that it won't be long until something either happens to me, or some of the others who are still left. So..." He looked down at Agustin. "I would appreciate if you could try and look out for the little ones here if something does happen to us. There aren't any really other stable adults here that don't have a high chance of being killed off in the ring besides you." A pause. "And I know this news isn't exactly the most positive.. but you're the only one I can really trust to ask of this, Agustin." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustín slowly moved his hands off of his face as Moses approached. "Wh- you think I can- I can be in charge of that..? I watched Minerva for half an hour earlier and that was stressful.." Agustín sighed. But who else was there that wasn't a contestant? Zahara was totally blind to Rakin's crimes, Dante was a little freak of a man, and from what he saw of the other sides amphibs (only Itsuki) they didn't seem much better.. "i-is there really.. really not any other amphibs here that you could ask to do this? Not even on the other side? I'm not- i don't think I can take this kind of responsibility.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses shook his head and put his hand on Agustin's shoulder again. "No, I wouldn't be asking you such a thing if I thought anyone else could do it," he frowned. "Even if you don't have a lot of experience, you're the only one responsible and stable enough from what I've seen. There's.. a kid I've met named Maki. They're a good kid, but also wary of other people. I want to make sure they're taken care of if something happens to me, and you're the only one I can trust, Agustin," Moses said with a firm look. "Then there's Yeonaixho's kids.. His wife is still here with their daughter, but they have two others they've taken under their wings too, I believe. They've both been through enough already.. they need all the support they can get from us—the adults who are still here." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

God, if Agustín was the most responsible one here.... "Maki.. I'll remember that name. And I've only met Minerva, I didn't know that Yeonaixho had other children.. I'll.. I'll try to keep an eye out for them too." Agustín sighed, taking another clean tissue and rubbing his eyes. "I can.. I can try. But I don't know what I can actually do to make anything better or.. protect anyone. It all feels so out of my control.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses gently squeezed Agustin's shoulder, relief in his expression. "Thank you, Agustin. Even just hearing you'll try means a lot to me. I know it's a lot on your shoulders, but it's only in case something happens," he reassured. "Nora and Celena are the names of the other girls Yeonaixho has taken up.. I'm sure Jymaiyri is going to need the extra hands to help them here right now-" He paused for a moment as he said that aloud. "...That reminds me. Jymaiyri is here on this side, right? You said you watched Minerva for a while? Did you.. hand over Yeonaixho's things to her?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"She's here and.. Yes, I gave it all over.. She reacted about how you'd expect a freshly widowed wife to react after you give them their husband's various organs and hair.." Agustín moved his hands back down. "A-and that creature that killed him is here too. I-i tried to fight it but I really failed.. I don't know where it went to.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

His hand squeezed harder. "You tried to fight them!?" Moses asked in shock, putting Jymaiyri on the side for a moment. "You know you can't fight like that--Why did you approach by yourself?? You could of gotten really hurt, Agustin," Moses frowned deeply. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustín winced a little as Moses squeezed his shoulder. "I needed to something I- I just-" His father would have done it. And won. "If I didn't do anything and it got to Jymaiyri or Minerva.. I'd never forgive myself. W-way before it's fight it told me it was going to kill someone and I- I didn't do anything.. and Yeonaixho died.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses took in a shaky breath, letting Agustin go. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you.. I just.. Man, that was really, really reckless," he sighed as he looked over Agustin. "..You had the right intentions, I think, but it was dangerous to do it alone. I'm glad to see you aren't more hurt," Moses added. "I'm not sure if the person who killed Yeonaixho would go out of there way to kill Jymaiyri and Minerva.. it honestly seemed like they had something personal against Yeonaixho." Another pause. "Don't.. Don't do something so brash again, okay? It could of ended really badly, Agustin."@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

The rest of him was covered up by the shitty hospital blanket, but he seemed.. fine. Definitely still had all his organs in place. "It didn't even really want to fight me.. so.. I hope it doesn't care about Jymaiyri or the baby either.. I-it was watching someone on a camera when I snuck up on it.. It was pretty focused on that." Agustín sighed. ".. H-how can I do anything here that's not brash? I-i need to protect those kids, and I can't do that passively.. Anything I do is brash here." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Brash as in something that.. I-I don't know, it's something that may have more negative consequences than positive," Moses huffed. "If that person did hurt you to a point like Yeonaixho, neither I or Jymaiyri would of had someone trusted to rely on anymore. You have others who are willing to help you too, Agustin. Taking that on by yourself was.. brash." Moses turned around, putting his face in his hand for a moment before shaking his head. "...I guess I'm not one to talk though, huh? I'm sorry. I know you had the right intentions... I just.. Can't really stand to lose more people right now." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"..." Agustin sighed, deeply. "I don't think any of us can take it. There's not many people left to lose..." He rolled over so he was finally off of his side and glanced over Moses. "Are you worried..? About your fight..? It's gotta be coming up soon.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He didn't turn around to face Agustin, his back still towards him as he sighed. Moses was by no means a big guy, but in the moment, he seemed smaller somehow. "...I'd be lying if I said I wasn't," Moses admitted. Finally, he turned to look at Agustin. His clear blue eyes were filled with a sense of worry, but not for himself. "I don't know what I'll do if I end up fighting someone I know.. or one of the kids here. Rakin likes to play stupid games. Then there's Maki and my son... I don't want to leave them behind. My son has his mom, but Maki... they don't have anyone who'll take care of them." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustin didn't want to bring up the possibility that the fight could be against Maki, in fact, it was likely Rakin would put him up against someone he was close with. Seems that was a favorite choice of his. "I wish I could take your place. I don't have anything to get home to if my father really is dying." Agustin said. "But.. When you get called.. Are you going to try to win..? Even if it's against one of the kids..?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses understood there was an unspoken idea between him and Agustin right now—The idea Maki was the one he'd be fighting. He appreciated the silence on the matter, because it was certainly causing a part of Moses' worry. "Don't say that," he retorted with a small frown. "Throwing your life away.. stop trying to do that, Agustin..." Moses sighed, deeply this time. He was getting off topic. "...If I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I could put up a fight if I'm up against any of the kids. I couldn't do it. I know it already." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I'm not trying to do that-" Agustin huffed. Kind of seemed like he was, though. He wanted to add 'I don't even have much of a life left to throw away', but then they'd probably just start bickering about that too. "And if it's not against a kid..? Would you fight?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses massaged his temple, keeping his mouth shut about Agustin's sacrificing ideals. "..I think I'd still have a hard time. I don't want to die, nor do I want anyone else to. If we're lucky, whoever I'm with can help me turn the tables on Rakin during the fight. If we injure him enough, we could have a chance to bring out the big boss," Moses sighed. "I just... things are moving so fast. I don't know what else to do." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. I don't think anyone knows what to do.. Even if we can get Rakin's master out there, that isn't a guarantee that we can make it get us out.. But I guess.. Literally all we can do is wait and see." Agustin mumbled, moving his fingers up through his hair. "Could you.. Could you help me with something? It might be a bit weird, but.. I think it needs to happen." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses knew Agustin was right. There was a reason he was the only one he'd trust in watching over the kids here if things were to happen to them—Agustin was at least rational. Sometimes. Moses sighed, silently nodding his head in agreement. Though, Moses raised a brow at his question. "Sure, what's up?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I can turn in to an axolotl, and in that form is where most of the fungus will be. I haven't turned in ages, and I can't check myself over, so if you could.. Examine my axolotl form it would be very appreciated. My diagnoses said it was only moderately progressed, but I can't tell yet. If I can have someone tell me where it's bad, I can maybe try to treat it.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses blinked. Then blinked again as he stared at Agustin. "..Yeah, I definitely wasn't expecting that—But of course. Anything I can do to help," Moses easily agreed and slightly shifted in his stance. "Do you want to do it now? Axolotl's need water, right? I can put you in the sink over there." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Yeah, I'll get in the sink." Agustin sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. His cheeks darkened a bit as he looked over at the sink. "Just don't- don't laugh, okay? It looks really silly..." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses gave Agustin a look, but then softly snickered. "Dude, this is literally so we can make sure you don't die. I think you have more things to worry about than looking 'silly'," Moses replied. "Plus, aren't axolotls supposed to be cute? Just get in the sink, Agustin." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I don't want to be cute. That's- I need to be at least a little intimidating.." Agustín's cheeks only got darker and he pushed himself up to his feet. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Again, a small laugh escaped his lips. "Yeah, yeah. Totally intimidating. Your little frills and legs will have me shaking in my boots, Agustin," Moses teased. "I won't laugh, so hurry up and change. The sooner we can figure out where you're sick, the better." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Urgh- why'd I have to be the dumbest looking amphibian out there.." Agustín mumbled and trudged over to the sink. He put the stopper in before turning on the water and making sure it was cold- but not too cold- before letting it fill up the basin. He let his fingers dip in the water, but didn't change yet. ".. I have a sneaking suspicion that you'll laugh considering you've already been teasing me this whole time." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses walked up beside Agustin, watching quietly until he spoke again. "I won't laugh again, promise. I'm a man of my word," Moses smiled, obviously still teasing Agustin a bit. "It'll stay just between you me, whatever you look like. Remember, we're doing this cause you're dying. Now stop being embarrassed," he added and playfully patted Agustin's back. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustín rolled his eyes and stuck his hand in the water. As he did he began to glow, and slowly sunk into the sink. Once the glow faded, all that was left was a chubby black axolotl sitting at the bottom of the water. It stared up at Moses.. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Despite the fact Agustin told him he'd be transforming, seeing him actually do it was still surprising. Moses peered down at the creature and held back a small snort. "You're so cute," he teased. Moses glanced around for a second, looking for rubber gloves. Finding some blue rubber gloves, he put them on before dipping his hand into the water. "Cmere, Agustin," he said as he gently scooped the axolotl into his hand. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

If an axolotl could glare, Agustín was doing it. Despite how angry he tried to look, he was just cute and squishy. He rested himself in Moses' hand, gills flowing in the water. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses didn't notice the glare at all. He just smiled at the little creature and gently pat its head. "Alright.. let's see over you now.." Moses hummed as he examined the axolotl. While holding Agustin with one hand, he created a crystal model of the creature in his other, modeling any anomalies or places where the disease was. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Overall, Agustin seemed mostly fine. There were some abrasions on his sides, and a bit of fungus built up around his gills and under his arms. Maybe Moses should go try to be an exotic veterinarian. That might be fun. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses hummed as he looked over Agustin. The crystal axolotl was shifted to match the abrasions and fungus, making sure to copy the areas of infection perfectly. "Hmm.. you don't look too bad like you said. Are you hurting anywhere, Agustin?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustín shook his head and wiggled to get out of Moses' hand. Seems like he was very ready to be out of the sink. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Wait, wait, wait," Moses huffed as Agustin tried to wiggle away. He gently squeezed the axolotl to try and keep him still, pulling him a little closer so he could see Agustin's face better. Examining the axolotl's face, Moses hummed and changed something on the crystal axolotl he made. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

As Agustin squeezed him, bubbles of air popped out of Agustin's mouth and up to the surface. He began to wiggle more. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Okay, okay. You can go now," Moses faintly chuckled as he let Agustin go into the water. He took a small step back from the sink, expecting Agustin to transform back. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustin wiggled his way back up to the surface and lunged out, transforming in mid air. He stumbled a bit as he turned human, taking some deep breaths. His hair and gills were dripping on to the floor, but the rest of him looked dry. "Was that necessary?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"You were squirming around! What else was I supposed to do?" Moses replied back with a small laugh and grabbed a near by towel for Agustin. In his other hand laid the crystal axolotl, the perfect replica of Agustin. "Ready to see your cute lil face?" He hummed. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I thought you were done!" Agustin groaned, leaning over the sink and wringing out his hair. "You- you didn't need to make me look cute." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses chuckled as he still held the towel towards Agustin. "I didn't need to, maybe, but it was just your default look. I wanted to make sure it was a perfect replica," he explained with a small teasing smile. "Look just how round you are. You got that happy face," Moses said and held up the crystal Agustin. It indeed was what Agustin looked like as an axolotl. Ridges and bumps were where the disease were, but more prominently, the statue has a big cute :} face. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 (edited)

Agustin sighed before looking over to the statue, his cheeks darkening again as he saw the derpy face. God, he looked so ridiculous! He tried to ignore the face and instead looked over the rest of the body, noting where the disease was progressing. "It- it isn't too bad yet." He mumbled. "Worst case scenario, we can cut off the affected areas and they'll grow back as long as we don't cut off too much of my gills. But I'd like to take my chances with Rakin before we start carving me up..." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses thought the face was cute, but he supposed not everyone could appreciate their own perks. "Yeah, not too crazy, thankfully. I would also prefer you try and get healed a more.. safer way than us trying to cut off your skin. I don't even know who would be able to do that precisely here.." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Well it would be easier to do it in my axolotl form than my human one... It wouldn't be too hard. I'm pretty squishy." Agustin said. He put the towel over his head and began drying off his hair. As he put the towel over his face, flashes of color appeared over the nearest bed.. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Thankfully for Moses, his back was turned towards the beds, but he still squinted a bit as he noticed the flashes. Stepping closer to Agustin and putting a protective arm out in front of him, Moses turned back to see what was going on. "Step back, Agustin-" Moses frowned. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 (edited)

"Huh?" Agustín mumbled, quickly moving the towel from his face. Just in time for him to see, Rakin appeared on the bed. He seemed to be unconscious, bleeding from what looked like a wolf bite on his left arm and dark bruises on his chest. "Shit-" Agustín's eyes widened. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

2

Moses just kept his arm out in front of Agustin, narrowing his eyes at Rakin's bloodied form. "Looks like someone rocked his shit..." He commented from afar. Moses then turned his head to look at Agustin. "Do you want to help him?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. I should. At least enough so he can wake up and we can try to bargain." Agustin said. "How do you.. think this happened?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He slowly let his arm down, allowing for Agustin to approach Rakin if he wished. "Well, probably because someone picked a fight with him... Maybe there's a werewolf or something here, because it looks like someone tried to make him chew toy," he huffed as he crossed his arms across his chest. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. I can see that." Agustin slowly approached Rakin and carefully held his hands out over his chest. A soft pink glow radiated from Rakin's bruised chest, and the bruising began to gradually fade. "Whatever it is that got him managed to break most of his ribs.. He's lucky he's not already dead." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses watched over Agustin, ready to protect him if Rakin were to suddenly jump and attack them. "I'm sure that's the norm for him when almost everyone here wants him dead," Moses shrugged. "Do you think he has the compass on him now?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. I am unsure if whoever sent Rakin here would be dumb enough to leave the compass with him.." Agustin said, lowering his hands closer to Rakin's chest. The pink light began to turn a deeper red color as Agustin glared down at him. "... There's- there's something in his chest. I can feel it with what I have of the blood powers. It's.. Urgh- the vague shape of the compass, I think.. I can't exactly tell. But there's something in there that isn't organic. I can tell that much." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He blinked hearing that, clearly confused. "Well, looks like someone was dumb enough to leave it in him," Moses said in response. "Though.. it may not be as well. Where in his chest is it?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustin lowered and raised his hands a few times, still squinting. "It's.. Hard for me to tell. I think under his ribs but in front of his.. Organs..?" Agustin said in a stilted way. "We can't- we can't get it out easily.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

So around his ribcage then... Moses hummed, thinking about their options. "So.. we'd have to kill him?" He huffed. "That's a lot of work just to get a damn compass. Are you done healing him already, Agustin?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"It's not just a compass." Agustin huffed. The bruises had faded on Rakin's chest, but he was still unconscious. "Yeah, I guess I am. I'm not going to fix the bite until we can talk to him." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"A magical compass, yeah, yeah.." Moses sighed. "Do you think he'd be mad if I chain him up to the bed? He did the same to some of us when we got here." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. I'd assume he can just teleport himself away when he wakes up, but you're free to try." Agustin said and took a step back from him. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Well, better safe than sorry," Moses shrugged. He swiped his hand upward and created crystal like holds on Rakin's ankles and wrists, tying the man to the bed. "Besides, it took him a while to wake up the last time we found him unconscious. He was a bit disoriented then too. I'm sure we'll be able to at least ask him about healing you then." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Yeah, Rakin was out. "When he's up should we ask about the compass? I mean- Kian saw him holding it, so he must be able to take it out." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Hmm.. Perhaps we can. I doubt he'll give us any real info, but it can't hurt," Moses nodded. "..But if we have to wait until he wakes up to get it, that might be an issue." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. Yeah.." Agustin sighed and sat at the edge of Rakin's bed. "Do you have anything else you need to get done before we just wait around here?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses thought about it for a second, before shaking his head. "Not necessarily. I wish there was someone here with more medical expertise that we could ask about removing the compass, but I don't think there's anyone here who could help with that.." He sighed. "I'm still interested in that camera room we didn't get to explore.. but I don't feel comfortable leaving Rakin here without supervision." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"It would really only be me and Kian that know anything about how to use it." Agustin shook his head. He paused as he heard the announcement, tilting his head a bit. "So there's.. A fight without Rakin hosting it.. Interesting." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses peered upwards as he heard the announcment and he shook his head. "If he's not there, it may be his master hosting it.." He commented. "...And I also know you like your nephew, but I don't think I'd trust a kid over you when it comes to using the compass." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Kian honestly may have been using those compasses more than me. My dad didn't really let me use it to go around by myself." Agustin shrugged. "I'm surprised Kian doesn't have his own, actually, but maybe his mothers never gave it to him.. I don't really see how they needed two- three counting his uncle Enzo's as well." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses raised a brow at that. "They let a kid use it alone? And three compasses?? Just who is your nephew?" He asked with a small frown. "Sounds like your extended family is quite hectic." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Well, I don't wanna talk about him too much without him here, but he's the prince of a kingdom, his moms were the queen. I'm not too sure what happened with this version of Kian's moms." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He hummed, nodding his head. "I see... Yeah, one hectic family, alright. I'm still not sure if I'd let him have the compass though.." Moses sighed. "Whatever the case, we'll still need to find a way to take out the compass first... which is sounding impossible without performing some sort of surgery on him." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

".. I saw surgical supplies here.. They're in the cabinets. Anesthetic and everything." Agustin hummed. "But that would be.. Difficult to achieve without killing him. I'd be the only one who could attempt it." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses glanced at Agustin, a mixed expression on his face. "...Could you do it?" He asked. "I thought you worked on animals or something similar?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Not in- not when they're alive" Agustin shook his head. "I do necropsies to see how disease spread in animals. They're- they're already dead." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses hummed and turned to look down at Rakin again. "..Well, either way, we're gonna have to get it out of him. Alive, or dead," he shrugged. "Do you think you can do it, Agustin?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I-" Agustín stammered, rubbing the back of his neck. "I can try..? I don't- I don't know.." Was this really their only way out of here...? "I-i can.. I can try.. I'll need to get all the supplies out." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses nodded and looked around the room. "Just tell me what you need. I'm a licensed EMT, but that's about all I am. I'm not much help otherwise.. But I'll do what I can to support you," Moses said as he opened some cabinets. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"We need um- that gas that keeps people unconscious. I don't know what it's called.. And we'll need a few scalpels, and something to break his ribs again with. Blood- a lot of blood. I can't use my powers well enough yet to keep his blood circulating.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Nitrous oxide," Moses commented as he looked around the cabinets for what Agustin listed out. He found most of what Agustin needed, but the only thing really missing was the blood. "Do you know what blood type Rakin is..? He'll die if his body rejects the blood we put into him." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Um.. A+, I think.." Agustín opened up a cabinet. Cold air wafted out, revealing many blood bags inside. "These should do it. We need something to pump it through, right?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses nodded as he found an IV in another closet. "Yeah, this should do it," he hummed and dragged the IV along with him before setting it next to Rakin's bed. "Man, maybe I should of became a nurse instead of a fire fighter.." Moses commented. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Agustín grabbed a few bags and took them over to Moses. "I think you'd be pretty good at it, considering how you're handling this." Agustín smiled a little, though that stopped as Rakin began to shift. "Shit. Is that.. Nitrous oxide ready?" @ajjjjjjjj (edited)

Moses frowned a bit as he noticed the shifting and he quickly got to work in trying to secure a oxygen mask over Rakin's face. "I just have to turn it on and it should be good to go," he replied. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

As Moses touched him, Rakin's hand shot up, screeching to a halt as it reached the end of the give of the chain. At that his eyes shot open and he tried to move his face away from the mask. "What are you doing?!" Rakin yelled. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Shit-!" Moses pulled away as Rakin tried to grab him. "Be a good frog and just lie down for us, would ya?" He huffed as he tried to turn on the gas. ..But in another flash of colors, a figure appeared between Moses and the gas, causing the older man to step back closer towards Agustin. The colors fizzled out, revealing a man in a green and blue suit. He'd be a new face to both Moses and Agustin as he gave the two men a small glare. "Please step away from Mr. Rakin," Bridge calmly told the two. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

... Well, he should have been a new face to Agustín.. Agustín stared at him curiously as Rakin leaned his head away from the mask and took some deep breaths. "... Wait- Bridge. You were here before. I just remembered." Agustin said slowly, like he had just remembered it. "You've been gone for a while. Did he just recently get you working again?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

1

Bridge readjusted his glasses and turned towards Rakin, gently removing the mask from him and tossing it aside. "Yes, apologies for my absence. Though, I am confused as to why you are helping one of the contestants out, Mr. Agustin," Bridge replied with a small frown. Moses, more confused than ever, glanced between Agustin and the other two men. "You know this guy, Agustin??" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Um.. He was here- a while ago. Before the rest of the contestants. Then he disappeared. Rakin never brought it up again." Agustín said. "But anyway, Rakin has the compass in his chest that we need to get home with." "You were going to cut me open?!" Rakin yelled, pulling against the chains again. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Huh??" Moses gave Agustin a look, clearly confused. "We will talk more about this later--But yes, we were gonna cut you open, unless you want to be nice for once and give us the compass," Moses huffed at Rakin. Bridge looked over the chains, humming. "Crystals. Must be the short one's powers. That must be useful," he commented. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Get me out. I don't want to turn in to a frog to get out of here." Rakin ordered to Bridge. "They.. Are. But you don't have to call Moses that." Agustin crossed his arms. "But don't you want to go home too, Bridge? We should be on the same side here. Rakin must have kidnapped you like everyone else." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge ignored Agustin at first, turning towards Rakin again and nodding. "It may take me some time to get you out, Mr. Rakin. These crystals don't seem to be easily breakable, but if you turn into a frog, that will leave you too vulnerable to the short one's attacks," he replied. He then turned towards Agustin, frowning. "What are you on about? Mr. Rakin is the one who made me," he huffed. "If I were you, I would know where my loyalty lies--With Mr. Rakin and Master instead of.." Bridge spared Moses a glance. "..Instead of the contestants who are just fodder." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 (edited)

"Yeah, I know." Rakin huffed, still pulling against the chains. "Oh boy, you sound just like Zahara.." Agustín sighed, but slowly stepped in front of Moses. "Just because he made you doesn't mean you need to be on his side. He'll probably throw you out once he's done with you like all the contestants here. He's not good." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Moses wanted to retort on the 'small' comments, but when Agustin easily blocked him from view, he figured it was probably better left unsaid. Instead, he peaked out from the side and huffed. "I also severely doubt he treats you well right now. I don't know who you are, but you need to get out our way." Bridge shook his head, putting his arm out slightly in front of Rakin. "It doesn't matter. My job is to serve Mr. Rakin. I can't have you hurt him." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 (edited)

"This isn't going to go anywhere- Rakin, why don't you just give us the compass? I know you can take it out. Haven't enough people died already here.." Agustín sighed deeply. "We're not done here yet. But we're close." Rakin said. "And you will be free to go after we conclude here, as long as you can keep your damn hands off me." ".. What about Moses? And the children here? They'll all die?" "Besides the baby, yes. That's the plan. Get over yourself. You should be thankful that I'm still considering letting you go." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"You're lucky I don't kill you and take the compass out by force-" Moses commented with a sneer. Bridge's expression hardened a bit at that. "Think carefully about who you're siding with, Mr. Agustin. You can live as long as you cooperate. Give up on the contestants. They'll only drag you down anyways," he said as he glared at Moses. "I have your boss tied down with my chains.. I suggest you guys don't try and test me about my earlier statement-" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"It's not even something I have to think about. I don't have anything to go home to unless I can get the contestants out with me. I have Rakin to thank for that." Agustín glared between both Bridge and Rakin. "Maybe I'd be more keen to work with you if you didn't kill my father-" "I didn't kill him. I hardly even touched him- It doesn't matter. You've done enough, Agustín." Rakin snapped with his right hand, sending out a few sparks. It seemed to all fade into nothing before it could even get close to hitting either Moses or Agustín, but.. Agustín suddenly threw his hands up and gripped on to his gills, gasping for air as his eyes began to turn dark like Rakin's. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

(Dang ):

1:49 PM

"Agustin!" Moses' attention immediately turned to the man in front of him, but he was unsure what to do—Or what Rakin had even done to him. A crystal shard then extended from one of the cuffs on Rakin's chain, stabbing Rakin in the wrist. "Whatever you're doing—Stop it-" Moses sneered. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Ow!" Rakin yelped as it poked through his bandaged hand. That seemed to be enough to momentarily stop whatever was happening to Agustín. The axolotl man gasped again as the darkness stopped spreading across his eyes, leaving just the edges black. He leaned against Moses, nudging him over toward the exit. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Mr. Rakin!" Bridge turned as he heard Rakin yelp and he decided it would be best to try and get those chains off of him now. Meanwhile, Moses took hold of Agustin. "Hold on, I got you," he reassured before dragging Agustin out of the med bay. Moses would prefer they both stay alive for as long as possible. Dealing with Rakin could wait momentarily. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

It didn't hurt that bad, but yeah, it was uncomfortable to have something stuck jabbed in to his arm. "Get me out so we can get out of here." Rakin hissed. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

(LMAO Bridge dude... we gotta upgrade your strength) Bridge nodded and looked around for something that could be used to chip away at the crystals. The best he found was an unused scalpel, so he started jabbing away at what he could break. This would probably take a while. "Uhm.. Mr. Rakin... since the short one is gone now, maybe you should transform now." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"You're useless." Rakin huffed. Seeing as there really was no other way out, he transformed in to his frog form, which was plopped square in the middle of the bed. He croaked angrily and stared up at Bridge. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge frowned, dramatically so, and gently scooped up the angry frog into his hand. "Oh, Mr. Rakin, don't be so mad. If I hadn't shown up, who knows what may of happened to you," Bridge sighed. "But now the only other person who can heal you is on the contestant's side... unless you ask the Master for aid." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Rakin hopped off his hand so that he could turn human again. "If I need healing again, I'll just finish that possession of Agustín. This wouldn't have been a problem if Yeonaixho hadn't been killed.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge hummed, resting his hands behind his back again. "Wouldn't that be difficult if any contestants were near by again? That short crystal man didn't seem scared to hurt you," Bridge frowned. He paused as he thought about who this 'Yeonaixho' was, but nothing came up in Bridge's memory. "Mr. Rakin, perhaps you can help me with remembering more of the contestants here. I don't recall any of them beyond the few you have told me about now. I would be able to properly track them all if I knew their descriptions." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Well, if I didn't need Connie's lightning powers more than I wanted Moses dead, I would change some opponents around to be sure he lost.. Or I could just kill him myself. I've done plenty of that." Rakin crossed his arms. "... but yes, that's a good idea." "Of the people that are a left, there are only a few that are left that are contributing majorly." "Mallon, they're an angler fish person. No one else here looks like them. They killed their opponent, Yeonaixho, in their fight, meaning I couldn't get his powers first. They're generally over emotional and weird. I took their powers to make up for Yeonaixho dying, so they're not much of a threat right now." "Sovran. A middle-aged man with yellow eyes and wavy brown hair. He's a bit tan. He has power absorption powers, so he has many of them. Oh, he's also missing his leg now." "Kian, he also has power stealing powers. He has short black hair and heterochromia, one eye is brown and the other is pinkish. He can't control his powers at all, so he's dangerous in that way.." "Kenji hasn't done much, but he's seen something that I haven't been able to track. He has little horns and is usually hiding his lower face." "Lykos is similar, they saw something I've never been able to see. They used to be a wolf, but I believe Alrai Pin took their powers after they helped maim me in their fight. Now they're just a frail looking person with black hair and yellow eyes." "Jymaiyri and Minerva, the mother and baby. They're always together. Jymaiyri was the wife of Yeonaixho, so she's been pretty on edge ever since that fight. She has plant abilities, and it seems like the baby just started developing her powers as well. They're emerging looking like blood powers right now, but they're not." "Nora. She is always wearing a ridiculous red outfit with a giant hat even as temperatures soar on the other side. She has a small cat plush which she seems very attached to, and thread abilities." "Related to Nora is Celena, she has mid length purple hair and purple eyes. She has light abilities, which can heal as well, but I doubt we'll be getting much help from her." "Tsubari, for a moment she could turn in to anything, but I believe she's stuck back in her original form now. A red and black dress, little horns, and red hair." "Connie, a child with black and yellow hair and lightning powers. She's very, very, very nice and outgoing." "Aldreda. You know her." "Kiran, I suppose, is a monkey like creature who has mostly been minding their own business. They seem easy to intimidate.." "Those are the main people who are pretty actively doing things now." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge quietly listened to Rakin's explanation of everyone, his memory easily collecting it all. Rakin wouldn't be able to see this, but behind Bridge's eyes, he was starting to scan over both sides of this place through the shield he had put up earlier. He was able to see most of who Rakin described—Allowing Bridge to put faces to the names and descriptions given to him. "I see... Thank you, Mr. Rakin. I know you must be able to see most of the contestants yourselves, but this makes it easier for me to monitor them as well. There are still a few others lingering about I do not know.. but I'm sure they won't be a problem," he hummed. Bridge finally refocused his attention on Rakin's physical well-being and he frowned as he saw the bruises. "Mr. Rakin, who attacked you? Are you hurt?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Alrai pin keeps me updated on information that's relevant." Rakin nodded. "And- urgh- it was Riki and Lykosa during their fight. I perhaps got a bit over confident and made myself vulnerable.. I thought I would have been able to keep them controlled. But Riki has been sent out in to space, and Lykos has been dealt with. Seems like Agustín did actually heal me a little before everything went south, I would not be able to stand otherwise." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge made note of that as well. Lykos could be a dangerous source... but if they weren't a wolf now, maybe they weren't a threat anymore. "Hm, well, perhaps that will be a lesson for the next time then, Mr. Rakin. These contestants here don't seem afraid to attack you despite any threats of their death. You should be more concerned about your well-being. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you," Bridge said with genuine sadness. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Yes... It will be best for me to stay out of the fights from now on. Seems like Alrai Pin has been doing a few fights without me." Rakin sighed. "There's only a few left before we're wrapping it up here anyway. They don't have many more chances to do anything." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge nodded, smiling a bit more at that. "Then you can finally get some rest in, Mr. Rakin! Cmon, I can give you some basic patch up for the bruises. Then we can simply relax until it's time we wrap things up here." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Yes.. Rest." Rakin slowly sat back down on the bed. "It will be nice to rest. Then I can go back home." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge nodded and got out a few bandages and antibiotics out of the cabinet. "What are you planning to do once you're back home, Mr. Rakin?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Go and see my wife." Rakin said. He managed a small smile, rubbing his arm a bit as he hummed to himself. "I've been missing her. I'm sure she's been feeling the same." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He brought over the ointment and bandages, nodding as he listened. "I see. I'm sure it'd be a pleasant reunion for you two," Bridge said with a small smile. "Did you tell her you would be here for a while, Mr. Rakin?" He asked as he started to apply some of the ointment on Rakin's bruises. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to tell her at all." Rakin said. "I'm sure she's been worried sick about where I've disappeared off to. Aaaand the Galleons will probably have some.. Questions. I'll have to try to avoid them.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"You didn't tell her at all?" Bridge asked, a bit surprised as he started to disinfect Rakin's wound on his hand. "Well, I'm sure getting back home will do some good for you. Did the Master say what will happen once we're all done here?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I was taken away pretty abruptly. I don't remember much about it." Rakin said. "And they said things would return to how they were before, and the froglings would receive many blessings for my assistance here. The Pilarians are our Gods, after all." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge finished with the disinfectant and moved onto bandaging Rakin's hand. "Hmm... I see. How long have we been here working for the Master then, Mr. Rakin..? My memory is still a bit empty of everything before this place." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"About two months now. You helped me with the logistics of getting everything setup." Rakin said. Most of the technology here was your idea, and once you were taken out, I wasn't great at keeping up the security on my own." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He hummed at that, nodding his head. "I see, that makes sense. Will you assign me a new job once we're done here, Mr. Rakin?" Bridge asked with a hopeful smile. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Hmm. I suppose I will, after I spent all this time fixing you. What kind of job would you want back at the swamp with me?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge perked up at that, sparkles in his eyes. "Ohhh! I'd love to start documenting more of the Frogling life style! I've been wanting to get more into actual recording and editing, but since you've been asking me to stay on watch for the past while, my skills are a bit rusty," he replied. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"A documentary, hmm? I'll say we don't have any of those made." Rakin said. "But I didn't know programs could get rusty, I thought only machines did that." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Mhm, yeah! A documentary! I thought it'd be a super cool thing to have for the Froglings! You know, like those History Channel kind of videos," Bridge beamed. "And well, rusty as in I'll probably need a second to remember how to do everything again. Getting reset kinda does funny stuff to my brain," he chuckled. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"History.. Channel. I have seen a few things on there." Rakin nodded. "If you ever need help learning new things, Alrai Pin can help. They are always giving me new information." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge hummed at that, thinking. "Would the Master answer my questions? I had assumed they would only like to speak to you, Mr. Rakin," he asked with a curious look. "But if they won't mind, I have soooo many ideas and questions to run by them-" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"If they think it's useful to speak to you, they will. Though they don't really speak, so they might have a hard time communicating with you.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge seemed a bit excited at the prospect of the Master talking to him. "Everyone communicates in their own fun ways, I'll be fine," he smiled. "I wonder if they'll be interested in my documentary series. Maybe I can even do one on the other amphibs," Bridge hummed. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Documentary style series are very up the Pilarian's style. If they can recover the old footage they made, they'll have millions of years worth of footage you can work with. You'd never run out of things to do." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Behind Bridge's red lens, his eyes sparkled. "Really?! I'll have to ask the Master about it then! I definitely don't want to miss out on any of that stuff," he chuckled as he put away the supplies he had set out. "Would you want to be interviewed for the documentary, Mr. Rakin? I think you'd be a great person to have on it." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Yes, they kept their many eyes on the many species they created throughout the millenia. I assume that information all exists out there somewhere.." Rakin hummed. "And as much as I would love that, I can't have the information getting out that I am hosting this. If you interview me, I'll have to avoid talking about anything with the Pilarians coming back." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Oh no, this documentary would happen once we got back home! You don't have to worry about people knowing about you hosting this, Mr. Rakin," Bridge reassured him. "I just feel like the documentary would feel more authentic if an actual Frogling was interviewed. Do you think Miss Zahara would like to be interviewed too?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Hmm.. I don't think so, Zahara has never been on camera, as far as she knows, so she might be a bit camera shy. She doesn't even like public speaking with other froglings who she mostly knows. My wife Mirana may have an interesting perspective as a frogling who re-entered society after things had already settled." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Hmm.. I see. It would be interesting to have Miss Mirana on if that's the case," Bridge nodded. "The editing would take me some time, but it's recording the footage that'll take the longest. I hope all of this wraps up soon so I can focus on more fun stuff," he lightly chuckled. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Oh, I think it'll be over soon enough.. Though, just by chance, it seems the competitors have left the truly most interesting rooms for last. A shame when there's hardly anyone left to enjoy it." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge seemed to perk up at that, smiling excitedly. "Ohhh. What kinda stuff did you leave in store, Mr. Rakin?" He curiously asked. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Well, on either side they could either unlock the room that allows people to chance sides at will or the room that is one away from the end. And I have a special event in mind for when that threshold is crossed. Besides that, there's only one plain room available on A side which has some bedrooms. I figured they'd get to it sooner.. Now there's a lot of extra beds." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Ohhhh, sounds like fun! I can't wait to see who ends up at the end!" Bridge chuckled as he sat beside Rakin. "Thank you for bringing me along, Mr. Rakin. It feels like it's been the most fun I've had in a while! Even if I've just been stuck with security." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I have a feeling not many people will make it to the end, but we shall see. They could possibly make it in two more fight's time. That would leave about ten or so people, I believe." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge hummed, kicking his legs a little. "Who do you think will make it to the end, Mr. Rakin? Is there anyone who stands out to you?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Hmm. Moses seems dedicated to being a pain in my side, but I think I have something in my mind to counter him. Kian is powerful, and just rid himself of one of his most hindering powers. Jymaiyri has a lot to fight for. Aldreda, Lykos, and Kenji have some way to block out my influence, which is irritating.. Though I think Aldreda is the only threat to you in that circumstance. Besides that.. I think we'll be able to keep everyone else either too scared to act or they'll get themselves killed in some way. They're running out of time to group up in any meaningful way." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge's expression varied as he listened to Rakin talk. He frowned at the mention of Moses and Aldreda, but seemed particularly interested in the rest of the names. "They must be quite interesting people if you have your eyes on them, Mr. Rakin. Though, you're probably right. I doubt any of them are capable of getting anything accomplished. It's a bit sad, honestly," he chuckled. "I'm quite interested in the ones you say have multiple powers. That's got to be a powerful thing to have when they lose." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Yes. I would ideally like Kian's, since he has more, but Sovran's will work as well. I put them against each other to ensure I at least get one of their sets." Rakin said. "Once I get Sovran's powers, I will be able to heal myself. As long as his remnants transfer with his powers.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge rested his chin in his hand, smiling over at Rakin. Yet, somehow, Bridge's gaze seemed to be looking into the distance. "Hmm.. a child with such a strong ability, that's quite interesting. The other.. Sovran, you said? It looks like he'd be a tough opponent. I'm sure their fight will be quite spectacular to watch," Bridge softly chuckled. "Ah, and if you get a healing ability, we won't need Mr. Agustin anymore." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Well Sovran just lost one of his legs, so I don't think he'll be much of an issue anymore. Hence my confidence that Kian will win. And yes, I will figure out something to do with Agustin after I can test out Sovran's powers... I am still not sure what will happen when I get them. I could gain practically nothing if those remnants don't transfer." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Well, hopefully it's not too one sided of a fight. It won't be any fun if it is," Bridge mused. "What do you need Mr. Agustin for if you don't need him to heal you anymore, Mr. Rakin? Is it the new found powers he's recently awakened?" Bridge curiously asked. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"... His new powers may prove useful, or detrimental to me, but I would not feel comfortable sentencing an amphib to death here. Or sending him back home where he could go tell someone capable of doing something what's going on here.. I suppose I could put him in to stasis like the guests were for a while.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

"Hmmm. I see, I see. Well, better to keep him out of our way. He seemed rather close to that short man, well, close enough to side with the contestants, at least," Bridge hummed. "Do we have another fight set up anytime soon? I'd love to go see one now that I'm back." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Hah. Yes, actually.." Rakin chuckled and stood. He placed a hand on Bridge's shoulder. "Thankfully Alrai pin and I were on the same page and they moved Connie over to the other side.. I'm moving forward Moses' and Connie's fight. You're free to help me set it up." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge's eyes sparkled a bit at that. "Really? I can?" He asked with an excited smile. "I would be happy too! And wow, what a coincidence that the short man will be fighting soon. Guess this problem is slowly fixing itself," he chuckled. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Yes, unfortunately I also want Connie's powers, so I'll just see how this works itself out. Maybe sentencing a child to death will ruin his resolve." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge hummed at that, making a face at Rakin. "The child's power? Don't you already have lightening powers though, Mr. Rakin? Why do you require more?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"My powers have been fading. I was given these powers for the explicit purpose of destroying the Pilarians, but now that I am working to bring them back, they have begun to lose their potency. If I could absorb Connie's powers in to my own, I would be able to regain what I have lost. But even if I don't, mine should last me long enough to wrap this up." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge gasped. "Fading?! Mr. Rakin's powers??" He grabbed Rakin's hand, the same one on his shoulder, and looked it over like it somehow mattered. "Shouldn't you just take the child's powers if it would be more convenient for you, Mr. Rakin? I don't think many people care about fairness here." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Like I said, it'll be fine either way. I have enough to get me through this." Rakin grimaced a bit as Bridge grabbed his hand. "Perhaps if I'm feeling a bit peckish I'll take her powers and Moses' as well. Lykos and Mallon have already somewhat set that precedent.." @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

He relaxed at that and his hold on Rakin's hand loosened. "Oh.. O-Okay, if you say so, Mr. Rakin. I'm worried about you, y'know. You always push yourself without rest. I say do what you need to." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"I'll be fine. And if I'm not, Alrai Pin will take over like they have before." Rakin said. "Nothing is more important to me than the mission. Are you ready to go get the fight ready?" @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge

Bridge still seemed a bit worried, but nodded and finally let Rakin's hand go. "Okay, I understand... Just, don't do anything too crazy, Mr. Rakin," he replied. "But yes, of course I'm ready. Let's be on our way." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Hah, I feel like it's a bit too late to avoid doing anything crazy." Rakin laughed and zapped them both away. @Aj | Kian+Moses+Bridge
