The Alliance

[Midnight]

[ModNote: Continued from Going To Base.]

*The remaining Alliance members walk up to the school only to realise that only RMR has the keys. Witha tired sigh Midnight climbs through the window they had left open earlier that day. After all the others get in Midnight goes off to look for a change of clothing (hopefully) and a shower.*

*Leaving the other members to do what they wish, hopefully getting to know each other better.*

*Midnight began to feel a little seperate from the group. She was the only girl apart from Diana and she was missing Mog badly. Hoping that she'll be able to find her friend soon she heads off for a dorm.*

[Phinehas]

*Phinehas looks around, nods to the others, and immediately begins to climb the wall, to perch in the rafters.*

[Coriolis]

*Coriolis on the other hand has sought out more comfortable lodgings. 'His' bedroom back up stairs.... The thought of sharing lodgings with an Alzan creates a knot in his stomach which only a flash of steel could truly cure...*

*Unfortunately that would cause a slightly more subtle problem around this so called 'Alliance'....*


*Placing the staff on the floor next to the bed, and the dirk very lovingly under the pillow, he gets himself comfortable and drifts off into a fitful sleep full of corpses, burning buildings and Promises that must be kept,,,,*

[ringmasterrob]

*There is a loud crash coming suddenly and loudly from one of the lower floors. On that floor RMR gets up, he looks around and sees himself by a knocked over trophy cabinet, the glass of which has shattered as something appears to have hit it hard. He can remember a sudden surge of sickness and pain caused presumably as an after effect of the potion he took, he probably blacked out and was carried here.

He's completely confused about why this has happened but suddenly, for the first time in a long time, he doesn't feel as tired and dizzy. His mind feels as sharp as ever, as if it hadn't recieved all the blows of the last few days. His things are still on him and he hears footsteps coming down to seek the cause of the noise, he's not sure how he will answer but perhaps he'll just say he wandered off, just in case he wasn't brought their by the alliance members.*

[Midnight]

*About a hour passes and Midnight quietly walks into a dorm. Now dressed in a school uniform she had found. Her hair was clean and all the dirt, sweat tears and blood was washed down a drain and away. Sadly the feelings left behind from her emotional, physical and mentally challenging day was not so easy to wash away. *

*She dragged her weary mind, body and soul to a bed and silently climbed in. She hears a crash but thinking the others are still up she lets them deal with it. She needed her rest.*

*With a sigh she closes her eyes and drifts away. For the first time since she can remember her dreams were not black and her past was not hidden in shadows. Now she dreamnt of her past. Mainly of her last night on Arios, she relived that fateful night over and over again. She cried in her sleep and dampened the pillow with tears of saddness and horror. She heard Coriolis make a promise he didn't even know he could keep many times and with each promise passing she knew he would keep that promise as she would the vow of revenge on Hakonatu and the Alzan Assasin.*

*Hours past and despite the fit full sleep Midnight awoke. It was dark outside and she realised that night was well and truely upon them. Trying to rest again she found she couldn't another need had to be met. Hunger. With a sigh she went off in the search of food.*

[Tom Troughton]

*Midnight found her way in to the dorms pantry, and was helping her self to some bread and cheese when she heard a faint tapping on the door.*

*She turned slowly and looked at the door suspisusly. The tapping continued but it was getting waker by the sound of it.*

[Midnight]

*All the food she had found so far was off and unedible. When she heard a tapping at the door she paused in her search. When it continued she went over and opend the door to find....*

[Tom Troughton]

*Tom Troughton was laying semi-concisu on the doorstep.*

*He smiled weakly at Midnight.*

"Sorry it took so long to get here. But I had a run in with or Alzan Assasin freind."

*Tom is a mess or cuts and bruises and from the sound of his breathing one or most of his ribs are broken.*

[Midnight]

*Midnight instantly feels guilty for agreeing to leave the mages behind but her sarcastic defense wins out over showing how bad she feels.*

Why do I tend to find the injured ones> I know I can heal but really....

*She helps Tom into the school properly and closes the door. PLacing him onthe floor again She realises that he'll live but will need some help in healing several of his injuries.*

You know you'll be the third person for me to help and I haven't been here long. This may hurtbut I doubt it. Just relax ok.

*Without waiting for a responce Midnight starts to heal the more dangerous injuries. About half hour passes and she stands up. Her worried face easing into a smile.*

There you should be fine. Very sore but fine.

[Tom Troughton]

*Looks her in the eyes again.*

"Thanks Midnight. And don't blame yourself, even if you had waited for me there no gaurntee The Assasin wouldn't have attacked."

"You couldn't be so kind as to help me to a room where I can rest?"

[Midnight]

Well you still have some injuries that need looking at. They seem minor but need cleaning and so on. There must be a nurses office or something some where. Hopefully there should be a first aid box or something in there. I'll go have a look..

*Midnight disappears and then reappears several minutes later.*

I've found a nurses office including a first aid kit. It has a bench there that you can rest on while I see to the rest of your injuries.

*With that Midnight helps Tom to his feet slowly and lets him lean against her.*

[Tom Troughton]

*Tom puts an arm around Midnights shoulder so he can lean against her and they walk to the nurses office.*

*They eneter and Tom lays on the bench. H ewatches Midnight move around the room.*

"Do you want to talk about it now?"

*He says.*

"I meen what ever it was you where about to say before we realised we where being followed."

"Cuse It looks like its still borthering you. I can lend a freindly ear."

[Coriolis]

*It gets tothe early hours of a new day though the sun is still far from rising. Coriolis wakes up slowly his body still sore from the previous days activities. Getting up he stretches, picks up his dirk and heads for a look around the school to make sure everything was in order and that maybe some sort of protection was set-up. He mentally cursed himself for not doing so before.*

*He walks down the corridor and sees a light on in one of the rooms Knocking before hand he then opens the door.....*

(OCC: In the room that RMR is in not Midnight and Tom.)

[Midnight]

*Midnight frowns at what Tom says. her body stiffens slightly but she continues gathering together somei tems to clean up Toms injuries.*

No I'm fine. Was just wanting to know whether you was alright after that fall from the tree. Even if I still believe the lot of you should of walked.

*She says with a smile as she begins to clean a couple of cuts along Toms arm.*

[Tom Troughton]

*Chuckles to himself.*

"You always where a terribal liery Midnight."

"How ever I won't press."

*Tom gose slient, but the Silence is the kind that makes people who have something on there mind which they want to talk about feel uncomfortable. Just like Midnight and that is just wht the silencs is doing to her.*
