Around the tower, all is quiet. The faint hum of circuitry filters through the still air, and it is as peaceful as a half-dead city-state could be.

*Snowcat is way way off in the distance (you could see him if you stood on top of the tower and squinted, or if you were in commune) walking towards the watchtower. He has one arm around Demolisher's shoulders and looks very happy and relieved*

[toughguytruck]

*Demolisher looks extremely uncomfortable with the public personal contact, but makes no move to throw Snowcat off. He also looks relieved, if a tad embarassed.

[watch_in_shadow]

((Awwwww. ^_^))

*'nods' to self as he watches from various vantage points around the city - things seem to be, if not normal, stable for the time being*

*shifts to look inside the techs' laboratory, but his 'eye' is caught by Cardoom wandering morosely back through the corridors to the main door - having been kicked out of the lab for irritating the techs and making a nuisance of himself*

*sighs, and gets back to work*

[icemasta]

*Snowcat knocks on the door to the tower. He's voice comes out giddy, tainted with a hint of yodeling* //We're all done. You found Dreadboots yet?//

[scarletlothario]

((Assuming you're talking to the carboy here..?))

*jumps, the sudden voice pulling me out of morose thoughts tinged with guilt - and back into the anger bubbling below the surface*

//Oh, we found her indeed - battered and broken on the floor like an abandoned practise drone.// *shoves the tower door open with rather more force than necessary and steps outside*

[icemasta]

((More of an in-general, but this works))

Oy. *turns to Demolisher* Demolisher! I thought you said it was only a little.

[toughguytruck]

It was only a little. Just enough to get the point across. *points at Cardoom* Who's this guy?

[scarletlothario]

*optics blaze and he steps forward menacingly, drawing a nasty-looking sword from subspace*

I, sir, am the Champion of the Other Other Triad. *holds the sword casually at his side, but his fingers are clenched tightly around the hilt* Milady Dreadboots is under my protection. *optics narrow and his balance shifts* You attacked one of my charges- *tip of the sword comes up to point at Demolisher, right between the optics* -and I demand satisfaction.

[toughguytruck]

*looks nervously at the sword* Hey, she attacked me first. And if you're her protector, why weren't you there?

[scarletlothario]

I find it hard to believe that someone a third of your size would willingly attack first. *sarcastic gesture* And your obvious injuries speak for themselves.

*optics flash and jaw clenches* I cannot be beside her all the time, to my sorrow, but that is none of your concern. Face me!

[toughguytruck]

I didn't say it was a fair fight. But she got in my way when I was going after him. *gestures at Snowcat* She just went nuts and sent beards after me.

[apprentice_lurk]

*indignant cheep from overhead and a beardling drops onto Cardoom's shoulder, fluting indignant protests and making suggestions to Demolisher that would've decidedly startled Dreadboots, had she been there to hear them*

[toughguytruck]

Gah! *jerks back a bit* What the heck are those things anyway?

[icemasta]

*Snowcat is standing a little behind Demolisher and cackling* It's a beardlet. Hi, beardy!

[apprentice_lurk]

*beardling chirps at you, slightly smug at startling Demolisher* *steps off 'Doom's shoulder and jets over, curious look firmly in place as Demolisher is ignored and Snowcat's mask is investigated* *flutes a curious 'hello'*

((Need a picture of a beardling, I does...at least as an icon.

...

Need more icon space, I does...))

[icemasta]

*waves at the beard, then pats it on the top of itself* It's small, cute, and makes weird noises. Definitly one of Boots'.

((You really do need a beardling icon.))
