"Alright then," Sage said, turning to walk back into the village.

by Big Uri Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:58 pm

"Adios," Luke waved, nodding at Nathan.

"B-Bye," Kira smiled as Sage went to leave, retreating back into the forest a bit.

A good distance away from them, Sage sighed and put a hand to her forehead, wincing as the full pain came through.

It didn't subside until a few minutes had passed. Sage noticed that she had somehow...fallen down onto the ground during it.

"I'm gussing that curing these headaches...is adding onto my own..." she muttered before wincing again as a second wave came up.

Tom was on his way to the Illuminati village, since he was planning on moving in there, when he noticed someone collapse onto the ground, the sudden change in things he felt irritating his head, like when Luke had made the explosion. He walked past her, trying to avoid the forest.

"First time drinking?" he guessed, not unkindly.

by Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:11 pm

"Y-yeah..." Sage said, once the pain had subsided. She pushed herself up.

Erika entered into the village of sorts, asking one person for directions and trying to ignore anyone else. She didn't know how she would be viewed by the Illuminati and didn't care to find out right now.

A few minutes after the woman reached where Amelia was. "Hello?"

by Big Uri Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:13 pm

"Get yourself a glass of orange juice, maybe some exercise if you can stomach it, then take a cold shower and get yourself to bed," Tom spoke from experience. He guessed she wouldn't like the 'drink more alcohol' cure.

by Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:16 pm

"A-alright...thank you..." Sage said to him.

by Big Uri Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:17 pm

"Don't worry about it," Tom replied aloofly, going to continue on his way.

by Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:22 pm

Sage pushed herself and stood up, continuing on into the village.

Kira looked back over at Luke, noting that he was leaning on his walking stick more than usual. "D-Does your l-leg hurt?" she asked with a frown, worried that she had hurt him while bandaging his leg.

by Stabberz Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:24 pm

Amelia smiled "Hello." she said calmly. Eithne had taken the baby and the woman was sat in a chair staring at a fire.

by Big Uri Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:25 pm

"No more than usual, it's just had a bit of strain put on it," Luke shrugged amicably.

------

Tom waited patiently at the gates of the Illuminati once he had reached them, wondering whether he should stay where he had when he was brainwashed and crazy.

by MrMissMrs Random Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:27 pm

Erika cautiously walked in. "Mind if I sit?"

by Stabberz Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:28 pm

"Sure." Amelia smiled with a wave of her hand.

by quackers are yummylicious Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:29 pm

Kira nodded, though she still looked a bit worried. "I'll change th-the bandages tonight..." she offered.

Heidi sighed, placing her hands behind her neck. "I'm gonna go hunt down Simon and Benji. Haven't seen Benji all day, didn't get to talk to Simon."

by Big Uri Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:31 pm

"Thanks," Luke smiled back, trying to put her at ease.

by MrMissMrs Random Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:32 pm

Erika did just that, slowly. "Look, I'm not sure that you heard about the scream off between Nathan and Joey a little a while ago, but... I came here for some advice."

by Stabberz Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:34 pm

"Something to do with your village not looking after it's people or something and now there might be people coming to live with us." Amelia commented with a shrug. Seeing similarities between Erika and herself. "Anyway, what do you need advice on?"

by quackers are yummylicious Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:36 pm

Kira returned the smile, albeit much weaker than the one Luke had given her. "I don't want to see you hurt..."

---

Heidi stepped out of the house, making a beeline towards Erika's as she hummed to herself. Maybe Ade would bring her a present from the mountains. That would be nice.

by Big Uri Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:40 pm

"I don't like being hurt, either, and naturally I don't like seeing you unhappy," Luke assured her.

----

Tom got bored of waiting and merely walked underneath their heavy gates, surfacing on the other side. He looked around at the Illuminati's village a bit nonchalantly.

by MrMissMrs Random Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:40 pm

"I want to try and get the to villages to make friends." Erika said. "I know it sounds too little too late after that fiasco, but... it's going to be bad for everyone if we don't find a way to get along with each other." The woman squirmed a little in her seat. "And this is more of a personal thing: when I went around some people heard that Joey said 'my' village- I don't know in what context that is, but I feel like just because one person has a stronger Flow than the other doesn't mean that they should be the holders of power- and that includes me, Joey, Ade, and Heidi."

Simon was playing a game of cards with Josh and Al.

by Stabberz Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:49 pm

"A noble effort..." Amelia mused. It was something Nate had spoken to about with Eithne before he'd first disappeared. "If you remember when we first set up our village here that was what we asked for and each and every one of you turned us down."

She focused her full attention on Erika now. "But that's water under the bridge. We've often heard mutterings of your village and from what I can tell, when Nate was talking to Joey he frequently called your villagers 'his' villagers..." She stopped here and placed her hands on her lap. "I don't aim to brag, but in our villager we treat each other as equals and act as a family would. Sure when it comes to defending ourselves Nathan is the one who commands the most respect and for that everyone considers him our leader."

by MrMissMrs Random Thu Apr 05, 2012 7:57 pm

Erika grimaced. "I remember. A lot of us remembered... the last time the Illuminati paid us visits."

The brunette listened what Amelia said. "No offense, but I think that's a bit of chauvinistic bull on both sides. I mean, we did decide to leave and said if anyone wanted to they could come with after the Acer Tournament... apparently among the survivors we were considered strong. Though after everything we all got stronger, along with having less sanity... but, I digress. I want to leave the world better than when I entered it." Erika looked down at the stomach and put a light hand on the growing bump. "For my children and their children and so on and so forth..."

Erika looked up sheepishly. "Uh, might've gotten a bit off track."
