Remus looked around. "I have a messed up fetish I'd rather not speak of here. But thanks for trying, Doctor."
Remus finished his beer. "Pirates are scum. If you can find a means of traveling through space, then I could hire you as a privateer." he replied to Ragdoll.

"What can I say? With all the work I'm putting into my two projects, I need to build a goofy device every once in a while." He sipped his coffee, knowing that they didn't know what the two projects were. He had no intention of telling them. Ever.

Remus raised an eyebrow at Ragdoll's last comment. "Kill Hitler? Whatever for? He got what was coming to him. Besides, I can think of worse men than him."
The Imperator decided it was probably better that he didn't know what the Doctor's other projects were. "Just so long as it's not another plot to destroy the Empire."

A flash signaled the completion of the enchantment, and the still-distant sorcerer had just enough time to throw a shield spell over Emma before she fainted, hidden from prying eyes by the darkness of the book.
A fine lattice of magic hung over her, the final product of their combined spells.
Nothing unwanted would find them now.

Grey sighed. "Geez, fire a laser platform at your capitol because an evil alien is manipulating you and it never gets lived down." He didn't mention that one of the projects was a time machine that would someday make the difference in stopping Phobos from colliding with mars.

Remus let out a hearty laugh at the Doctor's comment. "Wow...that was a long time ago, wasn't it?"
Remus looked at his watch. He would need to be leaving soon.

"Not really. It also wasn't that long ago that you nuked the surface of the Earth." He sipped his coffee in order to make sure that the ensuing silence was as awkward as possible.

Emma had barely moved in the past few minutes.
Her strength was spent, but there was a small smile upon her features as she lay unconscious.

Remus snorted. "Ah yes. Not exactly a crowning achievement of mine. Oh well." One of Remus' robots walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. A look of anger crossed Remus' face.
"Sorry, Doctor, but I have things to attend to. I do hope you don't become more competition for me as well." he growled. This time, Remus wasn't talking about doom machines.
The Imperator stormed out of the tavern, pushing the door open and slamming it behind him.

"Well, it seems that someone is busy." He was silent, possibly expecting Emma to respond. After about thirty seconds, he looked over at her. "Oh... how long have you been unconscious?" He felt silly asking that. He walked over and sat next to her, feeling for a pulse.

Her pulse was strong and steady, perhaps more so than it had been.
But she did not stir.

He contemplated splashing her with water to wake her up, but that would likely just annoy her. So, he decided he would do something a bit risky. He infused a rather large portion of his life force into her, hoping she wouldn't reject it, and then got out the karaoke set. Nobody else was there but them.
Grey cleared his throat. "I sure hope that nobody finds out that I enjoy singing karaoke." If Murphy operated like he expected, then Emma would regain consciousness while he is singing.
Taking a deep breath, he put in "Can't Smile Without You" and pressed play. As the song started, he sang the words he had sung so many times before.

Her consciousness snapped instantly back to reality, but she found that she barely had the energy to open her eyes.
The satisfied smile still lingered.
"If you insist on singing, kindly do it at a volume where I can still sleep."

Satisfied that his hypothesis proved correct, Grey turned off the karaoke and put it away. He approached Emma and knelt down beside her. "Do you want me to carry you home?"
