Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jerry bit his lip, but Roar gave him an encouraging nod. The man was not being useless for once. "Yeah..." The other Jerry still echoed in the back of his mind, mixed familiarity dancing from face to face. "Still family. And we can still do this together. Even... even if it's terrible. For... For the Blue Kingdom. For Harrison's Kingdom."

He glanced to Sammy, knowing full well what she was capable of both in and out of the illusion. "Sammy... while we do what we have to do. Can you lead the others out there? Until... we can catch up." If they could catch up. He still wasn't sure, but he had to have faith in Nakama.

Jing earned himself a grin for that one. A grin, and a rough clap on the shoulder, which was probably just a little too rough to be purely affectionate. There might have possibly been a tinge of rivalry there... and maybe some revenge for a certain neck-licking. "Good to see you too, Foxie."

Pretending to look wounded, Nuk shot Sammy a little scowl, snorting at her.

"Hey. Not my fault. While you were over there sacrificing yourself, Rep was 'taking care of me' for you."

To be reunited, only to separate again. It stung, but it had to be done. "I understand, we shall do our best then, just give them a smack for me." he promised jerry and in turn, gave Candace a kiss on the hand before joining sammy and Nuk's side. "Sammy, whenever you are ready, i'll follow your command."

The hard slam on his shoulder was still able to leave a pinkish bruise on his shoulder. Revenge accomplished Nuk. "I still have to elbow you in the nuts when we get there." He only hoped Andrew was going to be safe on his own.

It was going to be an interesting trip.

Sammy turned to Nuk her face going pale, "Oh seriously? Rep? For ******** sake... next time I'm leaving written directions. Dammit you let him too, thats the sad part. I thought you could hold yourself in a scrap."

Jing recieved a simple thumbs up and the look was passed to the other silvers. "You hear it, we've got work to do. The pillars said we had one last chance to stop the voice or ******** up Prides seat of power so how about we get started on that?"

Suddenly. Jerry was singing. It was comical and terrible to say the least, touching, but bad. "Jerry, I hate to say it, but in this world we're all bad people... I think I have a better song."

Nudging Nuk off her she started towards the door with a swagger to her step.

"You know there Ain't no rest for the Wicked...
Money don't grow on trees,
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
Ain't nothing in this world for free."

She reached the broken and shattered doors kicking the frame open, to Jerry and Candace there was a familiar air about the girl as she did that, very much in key with the real Sammy and a distinct lack of subtlety.

"Oh no we can't slow down,
We can't hold back,
Though you know we wish we could,
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked.
'Till we close our eyes for good~"

She continued to sing as she marched out the doors and down a glass dusted street towards the end of a dying town with a rag tag group of Silvers and a goal to kill a Voice or a Pride.

Jing had a moment of pause after listening to both songs. "Jerry, you were probably a bit cooler before you woke up or whatever it is that happened to you." he truth stinged, but nowadays, it was what set you free, from his own experience.

After a friendly club to the head of Nuk, he was bouncing out the door right after sammy, strutting away with all the grace of a fox.

He laughed at the antics and finished off his drink leaving the cup on the nearest table. He decided to follow Sammy, to the next battle field. He picked a good team, and he would be remembered, it was enough. Maybe most of them he would see at the end.

He'd had no part in the battle, caught and knocked dizzy by a stray spark. By the time Jordan's vision cleared again, it had been nearly over, and he'd staggered up to his feet in time to see Rep tearing into Atropos, dissolving her, with Candace following close behind.

Why - he mouthed soundlessly, staring in confused horror. Ferros steadied him with a hand on his shoulder, said softly and unevenly, "B0nez offered him the keycards if he'd help."

None of this was real, Jordan reminded himself, but it was still a shock. Candace would be furious. And Jerry, who was nowhere to be seen, who must have gone first. Jordan watched B0nez drag Harrison into the computer room, Rep following them, and hesitated for only a moment. "Ferros, stay here. Let Candace and Jerry back in when they come back." He had to assume they would.

Ferros nodded and turned to the door. He wedged it open with a piece of debris and stalked to the elevator, entering a code into the keypad; Jordan's other memories told him that it would send the elevator down to the main floor and open the doors, awaiting passengers.

Jordan took a deep breath and headed for the computer room. Silently, guiltily, he was almost glad that he'd been out of it. That he hadn't had to choose.

Taima watched with interest as the fallen officers returned, noting from their frenzied rambling that their visions of the afterlife might not have been quite the same as everyone else's. Interesting, but no longer her problem--and it was so good not to have problems anymore. She winced and took a shot as the one who had done a faceplant on the pavement started singing; she had had quite enough of horrible bards for one...well, whatever span of time it was. Did this count as a second life?

With a shrug, she downed the rest of her drink before sliding off her stool and following the others. She didn't care enough to fight for a world that didn't exist, not anymore, but she wanted to see what happened, regardless of the likelihood that they wouldn't be coming back to the bar for one final toast.
