:::but Cora smirked triumphantly...all she needed was a downward motion, whether it was the fall from a jump, or the fall from a trip. She was panting and trembling slightly...still focusing on a small vial that had slowed to nearly a stop in time as it floated somewhere right above her...:::

What the devil!?!? *Her eyes widen as she falls, seeing the vial still hovering there.* Ohhhhhhohoho, no. *no sooner does she hit the ground than she rolls back to her feet, darting a hand out to snatch the vial again, then hurries to try and put some distance between her and Cora*

:::But Cora anticipated just this. As soon as she knew the vial was out of Melliandra's bodice, she began to lift herself off the ground. Even if Mel was more nimble than Cora, there was no way the girl could be fast enough to get up, realize the vial was floating, grab it, AND run far enough for Cora NOT to grab onto the layers of cloth wafting behind her:::
:::Snatch:::
:::Cora on her knees held on to the dress and waited to pounce as soon as Mel hit the floor:::

Ack! *Melli's thrown off as her dress is yanked backwards, though she manages to catch herself on a table, unwilling to let Cora pull her little stunt again* Blasted skirts!!
*She's caught, at least for the moment, and she knows it. Thinking quickly, she cranes her neck to look at Cora with a grin* Don't jostle me now, dear. Wouldn't want me swallowing any of this. *And at that she sticks the vial between her teeth and starts reaching for her right ankle*

:::Cora doesn't think that Melliandra is that stupid....still the situation is becoming more dire as time presses on. She probably doesn't have the energy or focus to slow the vial again, even if she got the chance.
:::She reaches with her free hand onto her utility belt and pulls out an administrator. As quickly as possible, she picks out a tranquilizer vial from her belt, and holds the administrator with her teeth. She knows the contraption well enough to load it while it's in her mouth. It took no more than 30 seconds, before the barrel of the administrator was pressed to Melliandra's calf. Cora pulled the trigger:::

*Just as her fingertips brush what she was reaching for, Melli feels the jolt in her calf. She jerks upright and plucks the vial from her teeth* What in the - ?? *And then sways as her vision starts to blur*
Ohhhh, my my my. *she chuckles, and even though it comes out weakly, she does seem quite genuinely amused* You've . .. bested me . . . haven't you . . ? *she wobbles, and plops into a chair* Not . . . fairly . . . mind you . . . *she grins at Cora, holding out the vial towards her* But . . . you surely . . . surely have . . . .
*thunk*
*and she's out like a light*

:::Cora holds on to her until she's sure Melli is out. She lets out a huff for the unexpected trouble Melliandra caused her:::
:::she began to clean up and put away her administrator. What did she mean, fair? I was built to defeat people.
:::Then Cora picks up the vial of pain recepticle inhibitor, and sighed:::
To think, all she had to say was that she wouldn't injest it oraly... Must be a primitive thing to like combat that much.
:::She neatly tucks it back into her utility belt... Melli would probably be out for hours, and it was best to leave her in the main room. She might be confused if she awoke in her guest room. Cora made sure everything was left as it was, and decided to return to her room for a shower:::

*Alex appears, naked, holding a towel around his waist*
... Huh. This... could be bad.
*Alex looks around*

:::Cora walks back into the main room to see if Melliandra was still there. But to her surprise...she's greeted by someone entirely unexpected...:::
Alex...!
:::She didn't mean to say it, but the name slipped passed her lips in surprise. She quite nearly wanted to run up and hug the near stranger, just because he was there. But a few things stopped her:::

*Alex's eyes went wide at the sight of Cora. His ears flattened back against his head*
OH, s**t! THE SPIDER LADY!

:::She feared just this. She didn't remember the word 'spider', but only imagined from his elevated tone it wasn't pleasant:::
Alex...! Please, calm down!
:::she gestured with her hands in a down motion, and took a step closer:::
Everything is just fine. I'm human...

:::She sighs, seeing that he's so scared:::
I promise, everything's just fine. You don't have to be afraid of me...what do I have to do to get you to calm yourself?

*Alex looks Cora up and down slowly, then realizes what he's about to say and shakes his head*
How... how the hell do I know that you're human? You had that freaky thing come out of your arm......

:::She sighed:::
I wasn't born with that. It was a replacement arm, from an accident....
:::Cora really meant 'attack', but she'd been conditioned to hide information about rebel insurgence for so long, she didn't know the difference anymore::::
