Gumi chuckled a little. "Nah it's fine, just...didn't really expect that is all, so don't worry ya head about it" Gumi replied to Carmen, rubbing hte back of her head slightly. "Tell ya the truth, that's the first time...anyone has ever...[sub]well you know[/sub]" she said, eventually going quiet and slightly red.

OoC: Woo! 12K posts

Carmen stared blankly toward the various bottles of the bar, face slightly red as well. [color=bb0066] "O-oh... Well... I'm sorry that I did that then... Uh..." [/color] She quickly took another drink of her wine and sighed as she finished the rest of the glass.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

"it's fine, honest" Gumi said with a small smile. she swayed on the bar stool at little as she finished her drink, looking around the room aimlessly.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen resumed her normal composure as she asked Gumi another question after a small bit of time. [color=bb0066] "So... what is your world like?" [/color]

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Gumi snapped out of her daydreaming as Carmen spoke to her. "My world? oh it's alright I guess" she said to Carmen, still swinging her legs on her bar stool. "Don't get to see much of home though..."

Weizoth had been making motions with his free hand and muttering ancient words to himself as the genestealers approached, while his books flipped its own pages once again. Once the genestealers had gotten just short of melee range, he used the last of his breath to call out, "Circle of Death..." A pulse of dark energy burst out from his position, surging down the hallway and eventually petering out around 40 feet out from Weizoth. Any genestealer that was touched by the burst simply dropped dead, whatever processes keeping them alive being halted by contact with Weizoth's spell.

@FPS: Nope, nothing psychic to speak of. Also, I'm eating right now, so expect another delay in response.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen looked over with a raised eyebrow. [color=bb0066] "Why's that? Does your work take you away a lot?" [/color]

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Gumi nodded. "Yeah, I never told my line work did I?" she said, then stood up a stood in a salute to Carmen. "Gumi. D. Jenkins, 330th squad member of the task force shadow slayers!" she said in a more military voice.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Most of the first rank of Genestealers dropped, but if that bothered the fighters behind them, it didn't show. The stealers that survived behind them leaped over their former brothers bodies, moving to attack Weizoth. If any managed to reach Weizoth, their claws would prove quite adept at slicing through armor, and most claws leaked a poison that could eat through skin if the attack wasn't fatal already. At this point, 15 genestealers remained, and 15 had died. 2 of them were infected with Weizoth's zombie stealer attack.

Gold wasn't sure what the hell Weizoth did, but jumped back to avoid the circle of death. "Hey, that wasn't going to kill me, was it?" he asked, checking behind him to see that it had shifted from an exit to another hallway leading farther into the structure they now wandered through. "Heads up, looks like we can't retreat back home now."

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen's tail flicked a bit. [color=bb0066] "Ah... part of the military. Your firearms made me think as much." [/color] She calmly stood up and gave Gumi a slightly different salute back, placing her fist over her heart while standing straight. [color=bb0066] "Lt. General of Hell's Army, Carmen Valencia St.Luna. May I ask what your task force fights against? 'Shadows' are just a codename, I presume..." [/color] She ended the salute with a small smile.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Gumi's eyes widen and was suddenly closer to Carmen. "Wow! yall's a Lt Genral?" she asked Carmen, it was pretty clear that she was impressed. "That's pretty dam snappy! if you don't mine me say Ma'am"

 

[DotSlash]

OoC: @Hatch: This is late but gratz on 12k posts. . o.

Carmen scratched the back of her head a bit. [color=bb0066] "Thank you, Miss Gumi. No need to be so formal though, we're both not really serving since we're here. It took a very long time for me to get where I am... I'm sure you'll get there someday too." [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

Weizoth held out his hand and fired a black ray from his palm at one of the approaching genestealers. If the beam were to strike it, or any of the creatures amassed around or behind it, the creature would suddenly and violently purge the blood vessels from its body. The purged vessels would form a disgusting net of gore in the corridor as it extended out and attached to the walls, wrapping up or holding back other nearby genestealers. As he did that, his attention was swiftly brought to the other genestealers approaching from the other hallway as the claws of one lodged itself in his armor. He grunted and duck back down the hallway towards Gold. "If you were weak...yes..." He simply answered Gold as he ran back towards him.

OoC: @Dotslash, Thanks Dood

Gumi stood back up straight. "Yeah maybe, although we the amount left in the squad that wouldn't surprise me..." she said with a small smile. "and Shadow slayers is a job title. as part of the squad is our job to take out the shadows" she explained and placed a hand on her hip. "So as an hell's army, do yall take out Angels then?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

 

[DotSlash]

@Hatch No prob, dude.

Carmen nodded toward Gumi's question. [color=bb0066] "For the most part, yes. We defend our home and humans under our jurisdiction from the Angels. Just like the stories, we've been in a stalemate for eon and eons. ...In fact, one particular angel trapped my soul for a millennium. Thanks to that, I was taken in and assisted by a human... and that's how I learned to interact with them. If you don't mind my asking, what are 'shadows' exactly? Just demons of sorts?" [/color]

 

[HatchyHatch14]

"I see, so it's like the tales of armagaedon that my papa use to tell me of..." Gumi muttered to herself. "Close but no cigar Miss. the "shadows" are basically the split image of a creature that exists in my world, either they have died or soul corrupted or they haven't passed on to the other side just yet" She swung her rifle around and lent against it. "So it's the job of yours truly that they go to go on, either hell or heaven or to be reborn....that annit up to me..." She said to Carmen, a small smile was still on her face as she chuckled a little to herself.

"Ah. Would you define weak?" Gold asked, firing down the corridor Weizoth ran from as the side hallway ignored by Weizoth began spewing Genestealers at the 2. he caught 5 with his shots, and killed 3, which dropped dead. they did not slow their 7 remaining fellows. Meanwhile, in the corridor behind them, another horde began spewing from conduits, pipes, and hallways just out of view. This would easily be heard and seen, as their feet echoed across the tunnels. Gold held out a hand, creating a barrier to block the 7 charging genestealers from Weizoth's t corridor. "Can you take care of the rear, or are we going to have to clear out a path with these assholes?" he asked, gesturing to the now captured small group.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen nodded toward her. [color=bb0066] "Interesting... So you and your group are more or less exorcists. I have to respect that, as without people like you, I wouldn't have more troops to command. ...That makes me wonder if you've ever been to either heaven or hell?" [/color] She asked with a small smile.

 

[Drakmorg]

"You would have me waste my breath...And the rear shall be easily covered..." Weizoth's book began rapidly flipping it's pages once again. He swept his arm around and held it against his chest as he muttered unintelligible words once again. As he did, wisps of blue energy slowly eeked out from the mouths of all the dead genestealers in the area. They flew through the air towards Weizoth, then flowed into his helmet through whatever opening was available to them. Breathing out the last of his breath calmly, Weizoth walked slightly down the corridor, shut his book, then simply held up his gauntlet-clad fists.
