Part Three of Three: THE AFTERMATH

[nishimono]

[the hostages have all been saved and Riful's disappeared! It wasn't exactly a *win* per se, but at least things have started to calm down...

But that still leaves everyone at her manor! Hostages need to be fed and given water, they probably need baths, fighters will need medical attention...the works! Heck, those worried at home might even want to

[Sylvanas will be making her way down her perch from that heightened cliff, trying not to draw much attention to herself after that piercing strike that so disillusioned the "demon", intent on investigating the manor and the manor alone. despite her leadership and militaristic skills... these people have more than enough help.]

[ruin_mania]

[Eventually, after she's at least looked at everyone who needs medical attention, Raine won't supress her urge to investigate the manor as well.

Why is it here? Is it truly as old as it appears? What are these paintings on the wall? And why is there this curious dark presence still lingering?]

[oftheforsaken]

[Sylvanas is still lingering, investigating the interior at this point, wondering just how labyrinthe this place was... and whether or not she should acquisition this place for herself for the time being.

she fully expects people to be here, of course, though hopes she can blend in with the other warriors, paying little attention to the other lady not too far away.]

[ruin_mania]

[At the moment she'll stay in the main entrance hall - while it does show signs of battle, there are also curiously intriguing paintings on the walls which she's inspecting very closely.

Perhaps all that dark mana is just a remnant of Riful's presence and not actually associated with any one individual.]

[To say he was drained was an understatement. Moving away from his place on the grass to somewhere nearer the forest and up against a tree had drained what little he had left of his reserves. It would take at least several days of sleep and more food than even the castle had to get him back in shape. And despite Minato's healing, some wounds had not fully closed. His clothing was still shredded, the faint lines of still healing scars on long legs and arms.

Everything hurt, a bone deep weariness he had not felt since the days of fighting the... the... the other clan. He wanted to help, but he'd pushed himself to his limits. So he leaned back against the tree, remaining out of the way, licking his lips and whistling sharply, summoning his war steed, Lester, to his side.

If nothing else, a victory drink was in order. Now if only he could get up to get to the saddle bags....]

[ koromaru will come trotting up to ashura with akihiko not too far behind. he nudges ashura's hand with his nose and whimpers ;; ]

[wishmadeinfire]

[He smiles gently and reaches out, scratching him lightly.]

Hey there Koromaru. When did you sneak out here, huh?

[brbfisting]

[ happy sounds. ASHURA DON'T BE SAD... ]

Are you alright?

[brbfisting]

[ akihiko's down on a knee, trying to heal his own wounds but he doesn't really have a lot of magic left for it so he stops his attempts and gets up, looking toward the manor?! with koromaru by his side ]

[variare]

[ he's mostly hovering over allen since they brought him out, but occasionally he's drifting away to check on everyone else. seeing akihiko hurt again, he stops and crouches down ]

Damn, man. You're high maintenance. Hold still.

[ holding his hands over the wounds, he mutters out 'ether drive' before a blue glow spins out. unfortunately he's really low on ether juice, so it's only able to do as much as...shrinking them down to scratches ]

[brbfisting]

[ looks down at jr. but won't argue. he can really use the help ]

Thanks. I must have used up everything I had.

...what the hell was that thing? [ AND NO HE DIDN'T SEE TIM'S RECORDING ]

[variare]

Riful? Kind of a long story.

[ starts when he hears a loud hacking sound, and he turns to see...allen coughing something up and that pretty boy near him. wtf?! ]

And one I'll have to tell later. Get some rest!

[ aand he's running off towards allen ]

DICTATED THROUGH DA JOURNAL

[wornbright]

[ has had her journal open alllll day while sitting around waiting for everyone to come home :c ]

I wonder if they're all okay...

[yamanaka]

[after some of the commotion has died down her journal will be knocked open as she's talking]

--should be okay, yeah.

1/2

[wornbright]

[ remember how you first reacted when you arrived in para and heard voices from the journal? this is uru's reaction right now. ]

[wornbright]

Ino-chan?!

[fiyapowaa]

[It had been a long time--far too long, really--since Kory had been able to be that free with her abilities and the feeling was...exhilarating, euphoric, and just a little satisfying to know she was still capable of it. Honestly, as much as it was a pleasure to live and part a part of Earth, there were inevitable and regrettable drawbacks.

But now was not the time to be drunk on power, there was still far too much left to do and she, at least, still had enough energy to do it. She'll touch down, as near as she can to ground zero, and look around, assessing the area;]

Who needs medical attention?

[caninevengeance]

[REFUSES TO ADMIT SHE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION even though...she's bleeding all over, even in places one couldn't imagine blood coming from]

Food.

[fiyapowaa]

[She'll narrow her eyes at her.]

Your injuries need to be tended to first.

[caninevengeance]

["how about no" face]

They'll heal after I eat. [looks at Kory] Why, you rounding up casualties?
