Edith did not like sitting in one place for any elongated period of time, even if she was waiting for someone. Apparently, even when tending to wounds she did not like to remain still or sit since she found herself wandering the Chapterhouse as she sliced into herself.
She was passing by the weight room, both bullets from her right arm free when she heard someone lifting weights.
Seeing as she had nothing better to do herself, Edith decided to see who exactly it was that was weight lifting. When she clumsily waltzed into the room, she could not say whether she was surprised to see Simon there or whether she was expecting to see him there. Since she knew him, she decided to say hi even if he was preoccupied as she had always found that when she was weight lifting that she enjoyed company whether or not they were lifting weights as well. “Heya there Simon,” she said with a pleasant smile despite her bloody arm, “glad to see that those pecks you have are natural and not drug-made.” Yeah, when she was feeling bad or when she was around people she liked she always seemed to have the need to crack jokes even if they were corny.

Tokeru woke up. He had dozed off in his room. "Gah, i hate nano-bots. Even though they do save my life all the time."
He got up, smoothed his clothes and headed down to the gym.
When he arrived, he found Edith and Simon, both working out. Not saying anything yet, he decided to see how well his left arm had healed. He placed a 600 pound weight and benchpressed it, with one arm. It was hard to keep it balanced, but Tokeru managed to make 5 repetitions, before it slanted and the weights fell off from one side, falling to the ground with a loud crash.

Edith had jumped from the noise that Tokeru's weight had caused and she almost instantly rushed to his side to make sure he was alright. As she rushed she ended up slicing too far into her arm so that she yelped and the knife embetted itself in her skin. "********!" she shouted before turning back to Tokeru to assist him. "You okay Tokeru?" she asked with concern. "Maybe you should rest up a little longer before you go weight lifting."

Tokeru smiled as he saw Edith, then frowned when he saw the damage he had caused. "Im sorry."
He got up and tore a piece of cloth from his shirt, he then wrapped it around the wound, remembering after that Edith was a vampiress.
He grinned sheepishly. "I am taking it easy, normally i can lift those weights without dropping one, even without restraints keeping the weights in. But i guess my arm is still a little weak, but how else will it get better if I don't work on it?"
He approached her and whispered in her ear. "Thanks for, before. Who knows what I woulda done if you hadn't shown up."

Edith looked utterly confused after he had uttered his apology. "Sorry," she asked in confusion, "for what? You did not do anything to me, did you?"
She listened to him tell her about his inhuman strength and it made her wonder just how much she herself could lift. "Ah," she said as she continued to listen to him, paying no heed to him wrapping her wound. "Um..." she blushed in embarassment at her stupidity. "Thanks. Now I know not to run aroud with knives." She chuckled at her stupid comment and looked back to him.
"You're welcome," she whispered back, "but I am pretty sure you would have stopped yourself. I was just there since I happened to get worried about you." It was her turn to smile sheepishly.

Tokeru shook his head. "No i wouldn't have. It happened to me before, I kill without no recollection of it, and I never really get out of that mind state untill it's over, and everyone is dead. Then it's left to me to bear with the guilt of being a monster. My life is killing, it's what I do best and it's what i was sent on earth to do. But not kill innocent humans damnit."
He backed away, and looked down, he could still see the blood, their expressions and their screams, and shuddered. He knew exactly what would have happened had Edith not happened by, he would have gone to those humans, cut out their heart while they were still alive, and eat them as they died. It had happened before, and it would have happened again, if not for her.
"Still, thanks anyway." he raised his voice. "Hey Simon, were gonna go get some cake, if you want some just come to the cafeteria ok?"
He lowered his voice again. "Shall we go?" he said to edith.

Bridget being a something of a 'mad scientist' went to the Infirmary and
asked the nurse if she could give her some nanobots for an experiment.
The nurse gave Bridget a petrie dish containing nanobots and then went
to work in the laboratory removing several several nanobots from the petrie dish and placed them on a sterile plastic container. Bridget then exposed the plastic container to EMP at different levels to see if it would shut down the nanobots and the amount of EMP it would take.
What Bridget learned thru the week's testings was that these nanobots were not shielded and were shut down at low intensity EMP. Partially shielded nanobots took medium to high intensity EMP to shut them down.
Nanobots which were totally shielded could be shut down in a small area
with a very high intensity EMP blast.
Meanwhile Sanchez was just putting the final touches to the car(1950 cadillac). This car was his baby and it was tricked out for defense and offense... They both would meet in the regular cafeteria and talk to each other how things were going...Bridget stated that they would have to come up with EMP weapons besides the EMP rifle they had...it would take time but
it needed to be done.

"Hey," Simon would say as Edith walked inside the weight room and greeted him, "I've got to stay fit, y'know. Not exactly as strong as the rest of ya." He continued with his work, trying to act tough, still going although he was starting to get extremely tired, and his arms felt like they were paper. This wasn't healthy and Simon knew he'll be feeling pain for the next few weeks.
Simon breathed in and out, as he worked, whilst the whole drama between Edith and Tokeru happened. It ammused him so. Like the shows he used to watch on the TV that weren't meant to be funny, but made Simon laugh any way. As he was offered an invitation to go eat cake, he declined. "Sorry, Tokeru. I'm kinda busy..... right now."
Simon was so angry, you can hear hint of anger in his voice as he lifted that when not lifting wasn't there at all. The vision of his mother and father's dead bodies, with their ******** destroyed faces, the kind you get when you get a buckshot from a shotgun to your face from a foot away, clouded his mind. His veins pumped the usual battery acid, that warm feeling that you hated so ******** much, you wanted it to go the ******** away, but it won't. And you would do anything to make it go away, ut you can't.
He just wanted to reach for his gun and shoot. At anything and anyone, including himself. "It's a crazy world we live in," Simon whispered.

Edith was relieved that Tokeru had switched the topic as she did not feel comfortable with Tokeru thanking her when she felt that she did nothing at all. She did not know how to comfort him, she just knew how to distract him or say something stupid, she did not know how to help him. "Yeah," she said following him though she was uncertain if she should, "cake sounds so ******** good right now."
However, before she left she had to make sure that Simon did not hurt himself lifting weights. She knew his expression all too well and knew that something was pissing him off whether or not she was no longer human. "Simon," she said before walking out of the room completely, "please don't go hurting yourself. I know you're pissed but you don't wanna throw yourself out so you can't hunt because it'll just piss you off more, trust me. I know because I have not been a vampire for very friggin' long at all."

Tokeru walked off to the cafeteria, with Edith in tow. When they arrived, he was really surprised at how nice the cafeteria was, it had the look of a high class restaurant, but with the feel of a fast food one. It was really odd.
He sat down at a table and invited Edith to join him.

Bridget went to the armory by herself and picked up the weapons she would use except the assault/sniper rifle but instead took a shotgun; then
she took the standard load that her and Sanchez normally used. Bridget the took the elevator up and into the house and walked outside and into the nite.
The Duster hid the shotgun pretty well and the Stetson kept the wind down
across her face as she walked. She managed to climb up onto the roofs
and moved one to another until she came on to a scene. There were two
people trying to fight a vampire(infar-red) and getting thier butts kicked
"They most be new to the city or new recruits for Will." thought Bridget
In her mind she was wondering if she should help or not... seeing how Will's group saw fit to cut ties to the Shadow Stalkers. "Oh hell...can't let them all die." So she jumped from the roof and fell three stories to the pavement and said "Hey ugly pick on some one your own size." The vampire chose to neglect her in favor of the last hunter of the group who
initially started it...so Bridget shot the vampire in the back with a UV round. That got a response from the vampire as it turned and faced her
and snarled.
The vampire came at Bridget with inhuman speed; Bridget got off two more shot missing both times. The vampire was on her and used it's inhuman strength to pin Bridget to the wall of a building. Bridget dropped her gloc 9mm to the pavement and smashed her elbow into the vampire's face; quickly follow up with a palm thrust which snapped the vampire head
upward. The vampire let go and and staggered back a lttle bit. Bridget stayed pressed against the wall to cut down the areas the vampire could be. Bridget met the vampire's eyes and felt herself swirling in a pool of water...but managed to break the vampire's gaze. The other Gloc 9mm
didn't carry ammo for vampires and at the speed the vampire moved Bridget was sure she couldn't hit her again with the pistol; even if she got to it. She pulled her Sidhe Blade and took a step away from the wall and
tried to get the vampire to attack her. The blade glowed a bluish flame and
Bridget now taunted the vampire; trying to provoke it. The vampire attacked and struck first ...the Mk 9 body armor preventing any damage
but Bridget was more lucky with the blade cutting thru muscles and bone to remove it's hand just below the elbow. The vampire cursed Bridget and
Hunters and ran down the alley..Bridget knew she couldn't catch her so she concentrated on the hunters found out there were actually four Hunters
Two were badly wounded, one dead, and one all banged up.
Bridget used her Sidhe Blade to sever the heads of the dead Hunters and then looked at thewounded and said.."Follow me and don't fall behind if you value your life." They followed Bridget down into the sewers near the Hunter's bar and worked thier way to the secret enterance and let them in after going thru security. Other Hunters came and helped the badly wounded to the infirmary. Without saying a wound to the other Hunters
Bridget left by going up into Hunter's Bar.

Hokaru Moneru Tokeru walked off to the cafeteria, with Edith in tow. When they arrived, he was really surprised at how nice the cafeteria was, it had the look of a high class restaurant, but with the feel of a fast food one. It was really odd. He sat down at a table and invited Edith to join him. The ex-huntress followed her new leader into his huge a** cafeteria that was absolutely stunning. "Whoa," she said whirling around in yet another three-sixty in order to see everything in one quick round, "this place is gorgeous. You sure this ain't no restaurant?" She could not believe that a cafeteria would be so fancy and high tech when some restaurants failed to match up to this monster.

Tokeru smiled at Edith's wonder. "I don't know, i've never come in here before. It says cafeteria, but you're right, it looks more like the high class restaurants you see in new york. Wonder if theres waiters."
Immediatly after he said that, a waitress appeared. "Speak of the Devil and he appears, how may i serve you Tokeru."
Tokeru smiled at recognizing the waiter. "Hello Jennifer. This is Edith, and we are here for cake."
Jennifer smiled and turned to Edith. "Do you know what you would like?"

Edith was not at all surprised that Tokeru had never been to this cafeteria before. Afterall the Chapterhouse was so damn big that even those who could see through walls could get friggin' lost. That and he probably never wasted his time like this... It made her feel a little guilty that she was probably wasting his time by having him eat cake with her even though he had been the one to offer it. Then again, it had been a random question to make her feel better, well, sort of...
"Hell no, um," she said considering for a moment then finally realizing that she had no idea what their menu was, "what's on your menu. And uh, Tokeru, do you have a prefference because I'll devour any kind of cake at the moment, almost any kind." She smiled and stepped aside to signify that it was his decision and that she was fine with anything. Hell, it did not even matter if she had cake she was just here to distract him from thinking down on himself.

Jennifer smiled. "Instead of giving you a menu, why don't i just show you."
She strolled off, leaving Edith and Tokeru to wonder what was gonna happen.
A few minutes later, 5 shadow stalkers came out, draggin food carts along behind them. There was every kind of cake imaginable: Devil cake, funnel cake, cheese cake, shortcake, rum cake, Anything you could want was shown.
Tokeru stared, and started drooling.
