Solinus Sea

"Need help with that?" A voice accompanied by a boy with bright green hair, a navy blue cape and mage's robe, and darting orange eyes stepped forward. "I'm a mage." He said nervously.

John rushed over to where Gabrielle lay in the sand. "Gabrielle?! You going to be okay?!" He shouted. He was very worried. John liked her, he didn't want her to die, and he especially didn't want to be torn limb from limb by the one dark elf person.
Suddenly, a small voice piped up; "Need help with that?" John turned and saw a young teenage boy in robes standing there. "I'm a mage," he added nervously.
"U-uhmm, sure!" John said. "What kind of mage?"

Gabrielle blinked as Becca landed on her back beside her in the sand. Finally introduced to the female, she smiled a little and couldn’t help but wonder who Ducky was, but figured it wasn’t really her business. Exhaling deeply, the teen ignored how heavy her body was and flashed a slightly brighter smile.

“It’s nice to meet you, Becca. I’ll be alright… just exhausted. Thanks for jumping in and helping out, especially since this wasn’t your fight.” She was about to say more, but was sidetracked by the sudden comment that Becca had cracked her boob support. Having never heard that before, she giggled a little before groaning, a hand sliding up to her bloody side. “Naw, I think Myrkul is Akshasha, but I’m not completely sure. Hell, I am really not sure of anything anymore… except it’s not over for me.” She hated that they were going to come after her again and just steadied herself a bit more. Eyes immediately widened at the mention of her sister and the 20 Jinhai following her. What in the hell was going on?!

“What the hell are Jinhai and yeah, the other female that runs the bar is my older sister, Renee. I’ve been looking for that idiot for a while now.” Her fingers clenched in the sand, annoyed that bad things couldn’t leave the family alone. About to swear, she was sidetracked by a voice she didn’t recognize. Snapping her gaze towards the kid with bright green hair, she immediately regretted it as the world spun a moment.

“I don’t… but umm, more importantly. How did you come to get here?” She asked before realizing that was a stupid question. “Never mind… dumb question.” Her brain was growing sloshy, but she didn’t really want to be healed by a complete stranger, though she did like Akshasha heal her arm earlier. Was it her arm? Hell, she couldn’t even remember that anymore. She shifted her gaze towards John as he rushed over to where she was currently at. He was worried, but she wondered if he truly cared of it he was more concerned because the Drow threatened him.

“I’m fine. But, we better head back soonish. Need to makes sure my bar isn’t shot to hell.” Sure, she wasn’t fine, but LeBeau’s didn’t show their weakness in front of others. Or some crap like that.

When Gabrielle mentioned having to go back to the bar Becca could feel Ducky moving her efforts around. As she tried to bend up a lead weight in her chest became a stabbing dagger as breathing became too haggard to scream in anything more than a frothy gurgle. Ducky and the chanting she could feel in that dark place in her mind's eye rose sharply. Hordes of minute creatures grab a shattered rib an unseen effort retracting it from a cut in her hoodie to move it back into place. Motes wreathed to re-assemble bits of calcium and bone. Her shallow breath abated as the punctured lung that just collapsed re-inflated with a noisy gust of air from a hole just under Becca's ribs.

Becca pushed down with one arm to flip to all fours, "Agh, Fuck! That hurt. No worries, uh, Gabrielle was it? I'm not tied down... hngh.... and don't like gang bangers. Tho the taste like black licorice is new. Wait... did I eat someone?"

Adrenaline not pumping the memory of chewing a vampire apart from the top down made becca's pale face paler. Like some morning after she'd eaten four tubs of ice cream from things that just made a laughable comparison to her last few months of life. Her hoodie was torn, and several visible meaty gashes in her chest, torso, and arms, stopped bleeding but didn't look the least bit good. Her forearm in a tangled dangle of ruined flesh had too stopped bleeding but the multiple compound fracture proved a complex problem for whatever kept her alive to solve.

Becca's Patina eyes look at the new young man, "I uh, Hi? My everything hurts and my arm is fucked up. Ducky's holding the pain reservoir shut because it'd otherwise there'd be thunderhell in my brain. You got anything for a busted arm?"

The raspy panting hobbled to Becca's side, "Jinhai's a servitor of Ducky's overbeing. That's Myrkul. The Almanac said they've been dolled like EMTs dropping off revived folks at Gambits. Bartender told them to stop putting advance payment on the bartop so from that point they've been stacking it somewhere else whenever they drop someone off for a room. I'd guess the stock got dangerous though so I guess Myrkul had them put a proper vault together. They're trying to deliver it."

She leaned in to whisper to keep it out of earshot of the others, "Tallied up some of it. You've got at least 40 million creds in cognizance crystals in a open wooden barrel behind a locked door somewhere in gambit's basement. They didn't stop dropping folks off."

"Um... okay? I guess we've got this all wrapped up now," John said. "Are we going back to the bar, or will we just stay here in... where the hell are we anyways? What is this place? Nevermind.

“Mmm… yeah, it’s Gabrielle, but you can call me Gabby and erm… Yes, I believe you ate someone or perhaps lots of somebodies… not really sure. They were baddies though, if that helps?” Gabrielle’s brow just arched a little as she shrugged, not exactly sure how it would effect someone eating a bad guy or hell, anyone in general. Her head was swimming and the only thing she wanted at that time was to be back in the bar where it was familiar. Becca looked horrible and Gabby wondered just what exactly she was composed of since it appeared her wounds were fixing themselves albeit slowly. “You umm… you don’t look so great.” She managed, her stomach lurching just a little as the adrenaline finally wore off.

“Okay… so why are twenty of them following Renee?” Gabby questioned, taking note of the amount of creds down in the basement. That was something she would go hunting for once they were back in the bar and she could move without having the world spin violently around her. “Thanks for the knowledge though… I’ll look into it.” She was a little irked that things like this was going on without her knowledge, but she supposed that was what happened when one was kidnapped for quite some time.

“Urg…” Turning away from Becca, Gabrielle leaned over, throwing up before managing to push herself away from the pile in time to hear John’s comment.

“Yep, going back to the bar. This is a pretty beach of some kind… not really sure where all the different portals go.” Struggling to get to her feet, she swayed a moment before looking around to find the doorway again. Once spotting it, she shrugged and started towards it, opening it back up before looking towards Becca and John. “Lessgo.” She stepped through it, knowing it led back to Gambit’s.
