School House Rumbles 3: Act 3. Warriors and Liberators.

[Tami]

"Good," she says with a smile. She then grows very serious. "If you and Max were actually to fight, I would."

"Even if I was just doing it to try and beat some sense into her? She has a great thing going with Cas and I wonder if she even realizes how blessed she is." Rivia shook her head once and sighed faintly.

[Eternal Torment]

"Well, I may watch one of them, just to see how Martian porn is made," she says with a sly smirk. Sloane is so easy to rattle. "Anyway, the talk went better than expected, mostly because of the drama between Max and Riv. As soon as I'm done talking with you, I'll lay into tweedle dee and tweedle dum in there about their engagement."

"Ugh." Sloane shuddered. "I can't stand that sight."

He had to get over that soon, though.

"As for Max and Cas, go easy on them. You know how they feel, and all. It's not like they jumped into this without any forethought."

[Eternal Torment]

He senses....peace. No threat, no hostility, just peace and calm. And a touch of humor.

"Well played.", the cloaked man said, chuckling.

He removes his hood to reveal an ordinary looking man. 5'11 or so, still in fairly good shape, if his face was any indication. His hair was white and pulled into a pony tail, and his sported a goatee as white as the rest of his hair. His eyes, sky blue, were kind and his face showed laughter lines at the eyes and corners of the mouth.

He looked like an ordinary older genetleman in his sixties or early seventies.

"Yes, I am Father Jacob. A pleasure to meet you all."

"Hey there, it's nice to meet you." Sloane nodded. "Not quite sure how you got out of Eden, but good to see you here."

[Sub-Zero MKA]

"Even if I was just doing it to try and beat some sense into her? She has a great thing going with Cas and I wonder if she even realizes how blessed she is." Rivia shook her head once and sighed faintly.

She pointedly doesn't answer the first question.

"She probably doesn't. You and Cas didn't do much as far as helping her see that goes."

[Sub-Zero MKA]

"Ugh." Sloane shuddered. "I can't stand that sight."

He had to get over that soon, though.

"As for Max and Cas, go easy on them. You know how they feel, and all. It's not like they jumped into this without any forethought."

She chuckles when Sloane shudders.

"I will, given what just happened. But I know they had little forethought, because if they did, they would have seen just how stupid getting engaged without meeting her parents and getting their approval really is. And besides that, I just allowed them to date, like, a month ago. And on yet another note, their both way too young to be even thinking about marriage right now."

"All good points. But given that we have a low chance of survival, letting 'em have this will give 'em a good reason to make it through this alive." Sloane sighed.

"And what do you mean by 'what just happened'? I remember Max saying that she could see you and Cas standin' around like you two were spacin' out."

[Cthulhu_of_R'yleh]

Listening to the two of them go at it made Rivia very uncomfortable, "if you'll excuse me" she then walked over to Ramilia and Sloane.

As Rivia walked away Casimir frowned and thought, 'see you, Rivia.'

"Well, yes, she is. Did you see anything else that was less...personal?"

"I saw just about everything, to be honest." Which was probably something he should talk with Ramilla about.

[FarBeyondC]

Takeshi finds somewhere secluded in the oasis, on the far side of Tabia's lake from her castle.

It was, as always, child's play for Irie to find him.

"Enjoying the quiet?"

If he turned to look, Takeshi would see Irie standing about 10 feet behind him.

[Tami]

She pointedly doesn't answer the first question.

"She probably doesn't. You and Cas didn't do much as far as helping her see that goes."

"I think your wrong about that, but only time will tell for sure." Rivia smirked, "So, if you were going to bet, which one of us would you bet on to win?"

[Sub-Zero MKA]

"All good points. But given that we have a low chance of survival, letting 'em have this will give 'em a good reason to make it through this alive." Sloane sighed.

"And what do you mean by 'what just happened'? I remember Max saying that she could see you and Cas standin' around like you two were spacin' out."

"Don't think they need to be engaged to have a reason to survive. We already have more than enough reasons to want to survive."

She pauses slightly. "Well, he...did something with our souls, like her merged them briefly so we could see each others memories and secrets and all that jazz. I...saw some...things. By 'what just happened', I meant that triangle between these three. I figured theast thing they needed was me yelling at them."

As Rivia walked away Casimir frowned and thought, 'see you, Rivia.'



"I saw just about everything, to be honest." Which was probably something he should talk with Ramilla about.

"And I assume she saw everything about you. Are we going to do something like that?"

[Sub-Zero MKA]

"I think your wrong about that, but only time will tell for sure." Rivia smirked, "So, if you were going to bet, which one of us would you bet on to win?"

"Can't say for sure, to be honest. Max has a lot of destructive powers to choose from, but your telepathy is a huge trump card. If you two want to spar, I would mind watching it."

[Cthulhu_of_R'yleh]

"And I assume she saw everything about you. Are we going to do something like that?"

He looked startled for a second before going back to as close to neutral as he could manage. "I'd think so... but is that something you'd actually want to do?"

[Eternal Torment]

"Don't think they need to be engaged to have a reason to survive. We already have more than enough reasons to want to survive."

She pauses slightly. "Well, he...did something with our souls, like her merged them briefly so we could see each others memories and secrets and all that jazz. I...saw some...things. By 'what just happened', I meant that triangle between these three. I figured theast thing they needed was me yelling at them."

"You never know, Ramilia. Cas would probably be running on empty without Max there for him." Sloane shrugged.

When she spoke of what he did, the butcher's expression faltered slightly.

"Heh." He forced a smile. "That sounds... pretty amazing."

I'm deficient. But that's okay. Life's about being thankful that you haven't lost more.

[Sub-Zero MKA]

He looked startled for a second before going back to as close to neutral as he could manage. "I'd think so... but is that something you'd actually want to do?"

His becoming startled makes her feel a little uneasy. Both he and Ramilia seem okay, so it cannot be that bad.

"Well, why not? It is not like we have any secrets that we would want to hide from each other...right?"

"Well, why not? It is not like we have any secrets that we would want to hide from each other...right?"

"I don't think so... you just need to understand what doing this means. No secrets, you'll know how I feel about everyone here... and vise versa."
