Welcome to Gaia! ::

Will sighed as he was being stared down at by Riona. "Miss Riona I presume. If you'll just give me a moment..."

Grunting, he struggled to his feet. If he was about to have his throat ripped out, then by God he was going to die on his feet. Gingerly, his weight was laid onto his injured leg. Oh boy, if Riona didn't kill him then Gail certainly would for this stunt. "I think we both know what you want to talk to me about, so you might as well come straight out with it."

Will smiled sadly at that. "I'm not afraid to die, Riona. Just a few days ago I was on my way down that dark tunnel and staring at the great bright light. But I turned back from it, turned away from paradise, not for my sake but for my Hunters. They're my friends, family... they're my children. It may be strange seeing people not much younger than myself as children, but I can't help seeing them that way."

Sighing as though he had the weight of the world on his shoulders, he sank back into his wheelchair. For just a moment, he looked incredibly old. Sadness and tiredness seemed etched into his features. Looking back up at Riona, he began. "First, your question about the lycanthrope prisoners. They were both members of a Lunite assualt force which attacked us here and killed three of my men. They are also the only survivors that we know of from the Lunite cult we've been fighting. Both were left behind in what they saw as enemy territory, injured, and scared. We gave them medical protection, comforted them as best we could, and put them in confinement for their own safety. If they had access to anything that could kill a lycanthrope, I don't know what they might do to themselves right now. We're holding them until things calm down and they no longer pose a danger to themselves or others."

At this point Will gently cradled his face in his hands, trying not to break out weeping. "A-as... as for the... the... the children... one of my... during the... when we attacked the Lunite base in the sewers, one of my Hunters went off... on her own. She... came across the Lunite's children... all gathered in one room... and she... she..."

He looked up again, tears threatening to flow from his eyes. "God have mercy on my soul, she killed all of those children. Every last one."

Jasmine read the letter and looked up at him. Crossing her leg over her other, she looked almost like a psychiatrist. "Well, if she left you over that, she must not have loved you very much, then. Also, you say she is the only one that ever loved you. Does that mean that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE loved you in your entire time of life?" She shook her head at the last part. "Why do you not destroy this dark side?"

Jasmine got up and leaned against the wall, hands over her eyes. "For gods sake, you sound like a whiny teenager! You hate your life? Well, too bad, your stuck with it!" She started moving closer to him. "You ahve to learn to cope wiht things. This dark side of yours... How do you know he gives you your strength? If he does, try and make a deal with it! And if you were hugging this person, then obviously theres something between you. Brotherly, sisterly, loving, I don't know. But I do know that your being an idiot." Jasmine took a deep breathe. "And that's my advice for the day. See you later." She tipped an imaginary hat and turned on her hell, going to the barracks. When she entered, she held her head in her hands and grumbled about stupid people.

He had some disturbing rumours that he needed checked out. One of his contacts told him that the personne who ran the secret group he was part of, was really a vampire. His name was Jago. Jago had a very long reach within the government and he was also an elder. "This just gets better and better. First i get this goddamn chip inside me, and then i find out it was a vampire that ordered it put it. I'm gonna kill that b*****d. I don't know why he was so afraid of me but i will kill him"

Jago is located in the central of the city. In a tall building that requires people to have level 5 security clearance. "I don't care how tight their security is, buildings cannot survive the wrath of god. And i will show that two timing vampire why he should have killed me."

His contact told him that there was a war about to happen and these government subjects were used to make all four sides get into war. He got up and left haven. Without a sound.

((To city))

justin sat in the mess hall, munching some ribs

After speaking to Riona, Will wheeled himself over to the mess hall and into the kitchen where Cookie was busy over a big pot of chili. "Hey, Cookie? Give me anyhting that has alcohol."

"Sure thing Will."

Within minutes, a cold bottle of beer was in Will's hand. As Will sipped at the liquid. Cookie turned the heat on the chili down so it was really low. Pulling up a stool, he sat down in front of Will, a kind and compassionate expression on his face. "So, you want to talk about it?"

Will smiled humorlessly. "Ah yes, sometimes even I forget that you're our official shrink down here. How does a man with a doctorate in psychology and a PhD in counselling come to work as a chef for a bunch of young, wet-nosed Hunters anyway Cookie?"

The enormous black man just shrugged. "'Cause he has very persuasive friends. Hunter convinced me that I could do some good down here, and he's never been proven wrong so far. And you are avoiding the issue. Talk to your shrink here, Will. What's bothering you?"

Sighing, Will began to talk with Cookie, the beer all but forgotten as he slowly let everything out.

Skiaska barely even budged, but she was surprised. Smiling softly, she shrugged. "Eh, it's okay." She looked at him for only a split second before archign an eyebrow. "You've been drinking..."
