Solomon gave a nod, looking back and found himself surprised at realizing who was there among the group. "Alexei...it's been a while. Helen had been hoping to come by the bar after Thomas gets weaned o-" He was then further surprised by the bottle handed to him, giving a sigh.

"I'll pass it on to her then." he said, with a resignation that hinted at him fearing the worst, whatever it may be. "Take care, alright?" he said, waiting with the others to ensure they'd be off safely before returning to The Hall.



Floyd grimaced a bit as he looked back, to the road Roxanne and two others had walked down. They didn't stop to talk for long, but Floyd gave her nothing but a simple piece of advice: she needs to talk to Hector after whatever she was up do was done. The tattoos didn't even get a mention, as much as he wanted to demand to know what was up with that.

Hector trudged his way back past the bridge, seeing a few mislings watching the scene along with Floyd, who gave a concerned look at the bandages around Hector's neck. "Yer gonna git yerself killed one a' these days, boy." the gunslinger said, setting a hand on the knight's shoulder. "Sure yer alright?"

Hector simply nodded at that, holding up a small silver emblem before handing it to Nate. "Been through worse, it'll heal up within the week at most. Area should be clear for the time being, all the ones I ran into I made sure to put down." Nathaniel went wide-eyed at the bade. "Holy fuck, is that...those things from the lab raid, remember those? They all had badges like that." he said, and Hector shook his head.

"Something close to it, augmented zombie but far easier to put down. Augs left it able to roughly point a laser pistol in the right direction too, but was able to handle that." he said, and Nathaniel hmmed a bit. "Don't like the sound of that...no telling what kinds of population these projects had, how many went rogue and have succumbed to the blob. Who knows, maybe the storms stirred 'em up..."

Nathaniel then continued. "Roxanne passed through here, two others with her. She get herself a tattoo job while she was out? Floyd told her she better not pull a vanishing act on you again without explaining shit." he said, and Hector sighed a bit. "Thank Agmen she came back this time...it's a long story, I'll have to talk to her about...this. And us." he said, before heading down the road towards Walkerville.

Nathaniel meanwhile handed the bade to a Shattered Helm guard. "Make sure this gets to Catnip." he said before heading over to go check on Lilith, a few of the misling fishermen nearby whispering among themselves, of what they witnessed, overheard references to an event they only knew of from Catnip's secondhand retelling.



Aurelia smirked a bit as she looked around, standing in one of the alleys of the Shepard's Wolves buildings. She looked up at the fire escape, its ladder just out of her reach. A trifling spell and it seemed like she was shrouded in flowing shadows, vanishing only to reappear a moment later on the fire escape itself, still cloaked by shadow. In her case it was a mere illusion, a good vertical leap at the ladder, and a practical approach to her getting up there while still in her usual attire.

Of course she knew a certain annoying mage hunter whose mask would cut right through the illusion, but she wasn't that concerned about that. Let the grumpy old man do so, for all she cared. If he wanted to keep spying on her, the apartment tower went high enough that he'd have to climb a few stories before getting her back in mask range, while she sunned herself and enjoyed time to herself on the roof. And personally she hoped he'd try, and throw his back out in the process.

As she made her way up the fire escape's stairs, she stopped in amusement on passing by one of the formerly empty sliding glass doors. To her surprise, Nashio had evidently picked that particular room, getting settled in from the looks of it. She amused herself, watching him go about seemingly unaware, before working up the courage to knock on the glass...
