Nathan sat down on the couch with Sage before smiling again. "So, after the tournament, what did you end up doing?"

[Book the Hero]

Jasmine looked confused, wondering what she meant by that, but didn't pres the issue. "T-then you're..."

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi raised an eyebrow back at Erika, though didn't comment on the cousin/godmother thing as she saw Simon. "Hey, kiddos," she smiled.

[Creation of Pokerus]

"I'm f-fine," Melaney nodded shyly, "J-just a l-little sore..."

[Book the Hero]

Jasmine slowly smiled, slightly relieved, wiping tears from her eyes. "...Um, Mel...I'm not-"

[Creation of Pokerus]

"I-i f-figured..." Melaney mumbled.

Sage took a sip to collect her memories. "After the tournament, I traveled around with a boy named Zackary, and a girl, Minerva... Zack looked after Minerva, who watched her twin sister...die right in front of her." she said before looking down at the ground. "She died during the tournament...after Zackary had gotten then disqualified. Her body...she was..." Sage bit her lip. "Her sister...Myra...was raped after...she was killed...and Minerva was stabbed in the back...left for dead."

Sage took a moment to let that pass over, taking another drink from her glass. "For two years...we traveled. Minerva seemed to be getting better and better. But at the same time, my level of control on my Flow was getting worse and worse." She was looking down at the cup. "In one town...there was a war. We were trying to stop it. Minerva...was killed before they actually settled down. Zack had taken it pretty hard, so did I...a few days later, he had asked me if I could make him stronger."

"I tried...but it went awry, and he...kind of developed two other personalities...each one having his child level power. After that, I don't know what happened...his real personality only showed up twice, when more power was actually needed..."

[Book the Hero]

"S-sorry..." Jasmine whispered, pulling herself up from the ground, trying to cover herself up.

[Creation of Pokerus]

"I-it's fine," Melaney assured her.

[Book the Hero]

"...Um...can we still be friends?" Jasmine asked the girl, as she quickly put on her pants.

[Stabberz]

Nathan sighed. "I'm sorry..." he placed a hand on her shoulder and looked into her eyes. "I remember the twins. I didn't know they were dead."

When he heard about Zackary he looked at her. "One thing you probably won't want to tell him is that you're friends with me... he doesn't like me."

[Creation of Pokerus]

Melaney nodded, she shadow cloak soon forming rough looking clothing, which seemed to be a shirt and pants.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"He won't mind. He...doesn't hate people just because of who their friends are," Sage said to Nathan. "If anything...he'll like you a little more for being friends with me..."

She didn't look at his eyes, she focused on the water glass...she remembered Myra's body...and that boy, Zane? Who had said that she had been raped after she had been killed.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" she suddenly said, looking up at Nathan and putting on a smile, that quickly vanished as her headache struck again. "What...about you?"

[Book the Hero]

Jasmine gave the girl a small smile, before turning to Tom. The memories of the previous night, images of her doing...quite a lot of things to the big man, flashed through her mind, causing her face to go beet red, and immediately coer her chest, even though she knew he couldn't see them.

She couldn't even look him in the face. "Um..."

[Big Uri]

"I'm sorry too...I'm not good with relationships," Tom admitted. He didn't want to form attachments.

[Book the Hero]

"No...it's my fault." Jasmine said, still unable to look him in the face. "You did nothing wrong..."

[Big Uri]

"Way I see it, no use crying over spilt milk. If you're worried, the Illuminati should have some of those pills. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused, and like I said, I don't really plan for anything to come of it. I'm not getting attached again," Tom replied wearily.

[Book the Hero]

Jasmine nodded, understanding, but still wasn't able to look at him in the face. Kay...Seeya later then..."

[Big Uri]

"Adios," Tom replied, a bit regretfully, walking through the wall to leave.

[Stabberz]

"I took control of the Illuminati and trained myself." Nathan responded. "You remember the adults who were in charge of the tournament?" he asked rhetorically.

"I hunted them down and killed them... and then I began to research into the flow itself. Since then I've been focusing on making things up to everyone who was in the tournament."

[Book the Hero]

Jasmine left the room, heading downstairs, and collecting her bra, and shirt, before quickly leaving, wondering where the rest of the Illuminai were.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"I...I see..." Sage said. She looked back down at the glass. "You...said you wanted to get to know me? What do want to know, exactly?" Sage asked as she looked back up at Nathan, into his eyes.

(~)

"Fine, screw it. If Nathan beats your three guards to a pulp for being suspicious, fine," Zackary groaned, turning away from the door. "I feel like Ne---"

"I FUCKING HEARD THAT!"

"...He really does have good hearing..." Zackary said, sweatdropping.

[Book the Hero]

OOC: Ra...why didn't you just try asking for a post, like you usually do?

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

OOC: Simply cause this time I'm too lazy to bother. Plus, now Zackary'll be amused by watching Nathan kick their asses for being around Sage's house.

[Stabberz]

Nathan shrugged. "Everything... I just want to spend time with you." He smiled.
