Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rae hadn't forgotten about Max or Katie, but she had needed a little snack to keep from joining Maxi in a nice long nap.. She bounced back in, one foot boosting herself up on the lower rung of Sun's bar stool as she cleared some space for Maximos.

Glasses and nut dishes out of the way she hopped up to sit on the bar itself, smiling at Katie as she patted her lap to indicate where they should put his head. "Well Sunny, this is another fine mess we have gotten ourselves into."

".... she says her name is Muf, Penelope..." Melinda pointed out, so taken aback by the transformation from insect to woman that she was red in the face. How was someone supposed to react to something like this?

"Like I said, this is the person I've tracked all the way from Grayport. What... what do we do now?"

"What did that Prophet do... this changes everything..." Penelope mused to herself, displeased, despite both of her sisters addressing her.

"Still..." she said more aloud this time. "Until I can approach our master with these revelations, we're calling off the hunt for now. We need to find out if this... this thing is really a..." she started, trailing off, disgusted.

"... is really a sixth sister." It looked nothing like them, sounded nothing like them, didn't even act nothing like them, yet it certainly FELT like them.

"... muf?" the dark woman would inquire one last time, before all four disappeared in a sudden flash of light.

Damion watched who Rae interacted with, his brown eyes unblinking for a time as he made mental notes of his own of the new name and face of Sunstrike. Not someone who he had fought before, and thus not so important to him. With Maximos out like a light the earth elemental was kind of at a loss of what to do, Social interacting wasn't his strong suite and it wouldn't do to become reduced to a shy little kid again under any circumstances.

He would, however, get up and approach Rae, putting his arms behind his back, left hand gripping the other elbow as he stopped just within sight, but not close enough to be really included in the entire thing. Funny, normally this wasn't a problem....why should it be now? Damion's face screwed up into a look of confusion as his arms and hands resumes a more natural posture and he took slow steps forward, until he was standing next to.....Katie or whoever was facing Rae and the unconcious Maximos.

" Busy place." Was all he would comment, looking around at whoever was gathered to see Maximos, or had been there when they arrived.

(Gah! Post explosion! Frig, you people are leaving me in the dust!)

Scarker left the room obediently to hunt for clean sheets. Being the child-like idiot that he was, he didn't think to use his magesight to just look through the walls for clean sheets, so by the time he came back into the room (even though he'd seen everything that happened) it was over and he that he had left to do was make the beds.

The mage's hands hovered in front of him as through he were directing an orchestra and slowly his magesight compressed into the room so that he'd have enough energy. First, he picked Rain off the bed again with the same cloud of energy that he'd used to move him earlier, then he pointed one hand to each bed.

After about a minute of using energy to lift, flip, and pull, both beds were freed of any lingering sweat (or any other bodily fluids that had ever gotten soaked into them), repaired, and made up. Rain was set onto the bed that he'd been put on originally and the covers were pulled up to his neck.

All of Scarker's work done, his magesight relaxed to expand to its previous size. He walked back downstairs and, seeing that the woman had found her twin, ordered another drink and went to rest at the table that he'd had all along.

(Note- If Rae tried to pull any of the magic energy that Scarker was using for his magesight into herself, she'd find that the energy wouldn't move, although pulling hard enough would display the energy's link to the mage. Still, as there's more than enough easy to get energy flying around, she would most likely glaze over Scarker's.)

She could't tell if she had fallen asleep, but at some point the noise of the landing helicopter had mixed with the noise of waves breaking at the shore that were her thoughts.

Sitting up, she had tried piercing the darkness a bit longer until she had heard the door being opened. Her ears had told apart how many people had just arrived, there were new voices. And he was here.



She stopped on the last step and scanned the scene until her eyes came to rest on the unconscious Maximos...or rather, on the point at the bar where her inner sonar told her he was - only bits and pieces of his clothes peeked through the people surrounding the bar, though.

"What happened?" Even the Siren's voice sounded as if she'd been asleep.

Lucind lightly twisted her ankle: both legs were all pins and needles thanks to the uncomfy position she had taken on the bed.

Rae, wasn't taking energy directly from anyone, so Scarker had nothing to worry about. The energy she was feeding on was what some people would have described as nervous energy or tension in a room or on the other side of the scale the kind of vibrant energy felt by the crowd at a concert or a sports game the kind of feelings that even the ungifted could pick up on in certain places...like Doctors offices, hospitals and crowded bars! She looked slightly past Damion to her double and they both winced at the slight shock that they managed to create as they combined their powers... it was somewhat akin to suddenly adding an extra 100 lb weight to the pile you had been carrying, it wasn't enough to trip either of them, but the suddenly much larger pool of power was worth a few moments of discomfort.

Hono lent a helping arm to Lucind when she noted that the siren was still half asleep, watching Sun with curiosity.

Rae blinked at Sun as he first poked at her and then had to resist the urge to laugh as he pulled out the throwing knife she had hidden. "Maxi tried his best today, but that Shade Lord character is a real nasty piece of work...mostly he is just supper tired." That answer was for Lucind more than anyone else. "He had a snack in the chopper, but that was before he did this nifty spell that showed us all what happened in the Forest from a little before you arrived..."

Her smile faded away to a frown as she watched Sun cut himself, but she managed to keep from commenting by the simple process of shutting her mouth xp
