Realizing that she was probably spending too much time obsessing over her eyes when Ness tried to hand her the PDA, Jessica politely declined and let her friend keep it. Following Ness gaze over to Marcus, she shuddered as well, still finding the sight of a metal skull with glowing eyes creepy, despite having seen it before. "Well I can fix the link whenever you're ready. I remember you said you were staying here overnight, why exactly is that the case? I don't think I know what everyone is doing here in the first place either."

Ness scratched her head for a moment. "Well... I..." She picked up on what Lyra had said and sighed slightly. "Well... that's the answer, I suppose. I'm to stand in as a backup for her duel. But I'd like you to fix the link now, if you can. I really can't stand this... incomplete feeling." She said, sighing a bit as she didn't want to have to kill yet another person if she could help it.

"oh no, there's no need to worry about fighting. Your job as a second is simply to observe the fight. You're kind of like the witness ensuring an honorable fight." lyra headed to the door, yawning. "still, I need to get some sleep for tomorrow's combat. Beds are right across the hall from here, I've ordered them cleared for you guys. Sleep in the ones that wouldn't require a contortionist to lay in, and you should be fine." with that, Lyra left the teleport room, heading to her private suite.
"no, definitely not. Lets just say the 80's was a crazy time. You could almost die in a car wreck, turned into a quadraplegic one day, and have your mind crammed into a metal body the next. Man, those were the days..." Marcus sighed nostalgically. Standing up, he started walking off, still armless. "if you'll excuse me, I need to get new arms made. See ya."
Marcus left the room, Xyleena following after him.
OoC night all. If you need a room description, there are 10 beds, 5 of them taking strange shapes no human would want to sleep in, with light fabrics. The walls were unadorned, and there would be one light source with power control for it at the door.
Night.

Jessica looked worried as she watched Lyra leave the room. "Let's hope that's all there is to it." She nodded to Ness. "Can do. Same routine as before. Need your hat off." She frowned a bit at Ness last comment. "I probably should have warned you about that. Guess I'll have to go in and do some cleaning once this is all over."

Erica sighed as Lyra walked off. Duels. Honourable or not, I never liked them. It seems like nothing but a waste of lives. A waste of the most mundane of reasons, more often then not. Still, I promised to help, and if this what I am expected to do, so be it.


[sub]"What a wierd... man? Machine...? I don't even know."[/sub] Valentine muttered to herself when Marcus walked off, having little to no idea what he was talking about.
Erica approached Valentine, saying,
"Should we head to bed, then?"

"If you don't mind, Miss Erica. That battle has left me feeling kind of tired..."

Erica then turned to Jessica and Ness, saying, "Goodnight... V... Vanessa... Jessica." she said with plenty a awkward pause, struggling to remember the names of the duo. Valentine repeated Erica, minus the awkwardness, then followed Erica to the room where the bedding was. They picked beds where it was posible for a person to actually lay in and fell alseep quickly after.

With nothing else left to do, Loki entered the dragon den and sat down against a stalagmite, not being all to pleased with needing to sleep in a cave again, rather then a comfortable bed.

OoC: And I'm off.

Ness wished Erica, Val and Lyra a good night before nodding toward Jessica and taking her hat off, holding it in her right hand. "Cleaning? What do you mean by that?" She asked, a bit curious.

Hearing what Lyra had said didn't help all that much to feel better. So... I have to watch two people kill each other. I don't know which one is worse: having to kill someone or pay witness to it without trying to at least stop it... But this is the way of these aliens...

Jessica seemed surprised that Erica had addressed her, as she had somehow gone without noticing that she was in the room with her. She waved goodnight to her and Valentine as they left. I wonder where she's been all this time? Turning back to Ness, she gently placed her hands on the sides of Ness head as she had done before. She closed her eyes and started humming to herself as she focusing on rebuilding the mental link between her and Ness. "Well you know that 'incomplete' feeling you were complaining about? That's the result of some lingering 'pieces' of the mental link after it gets broken. Those pieces allow me to more easily rebuild the link, but they can feel uneasy or uncomforting sitting broken in your head. By 'cleaning', I mean to go in and remove those pieces, destroying the link completely." She explained to Ness as she worked. Shortly after completing her explanation, she stopped humming. Ness would hear in her head, "Alright, testing, testing...1, 2, 3...can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear! ...And that makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. Well... once this entire anomaly business ends, we'll probably need to do that." Ness telegraphed, happy to have that odd feeling in her head gone now. She smiled warmly at Jess as she finished. "Thanks again."

Jessica nodded and smiled back at Ness. "Yeah...now I'm thinking about what's actually going to happen once this is all done with...I honestly don't even know what I'll be doing when I'm done...at least you don't have to worry about that, huh? And it's no problem...I kind of enjoy it myself as well." Realizing that her hands had been lingering on Ness' head and face, she quickly retracted them and stuffed them in her pockets, blushing slightly and looking away from Ness.

Ness blushed a small bit as she noticed Jessica keeping her hands on her face for longer than usual. She quickly donned her hat as she looked away a bit as well. "Sure... I don't really have to worry about that... and honestly, if you can find the time, you could always come visit me in the lab. I could use your help with a few things... and not being able to talk to you again would suck. But that aside...What do you want to be doing once this is over?"

OOC: Sorry, computer is acting derpy. Having to post from phone, so no text color for now.

Yeah...hopefully I'll be able to take the time to come by your dimensions every now and then for a visit." With Loki's mind tampering having altered her priorities somewhat, Jessica wasn't sure as to what answer she should actually give Ness. "Uh...I don't really know...I guess I'll just wait and see what options present themselves when my mission is completed."

Ness nodded, smiling a small bit. "I'll be looking forward to you visiting then. ...Are you sure there isn't anything that pop out in your mind? Just waiting for something to show up usually leads to nothing happening. I know from experience..." She continued, putting her hand to her chin for a moment. Ness let out a small yawn after telegraphing this.

Jessica sighed and started pacing back and forth in front of Ness. "Well...I had actually only just barely completed my doctorate about half a year prior to this assignment coming up....I wasn't exactly swimming in job offers before then...I was kinda counting on this to get me a good reputation back home so someone would hire me." Ness' yawn proved contagious, spreading to Jessica as she was feeling tired as well. "Shall we go see what accommodations our host has provided for us?" She suggested as she started making her way for the door.

Ness nodded a bit. "That's understandable then... ...It's a pain to actual try and find a job... That's part of the reason I created that company... But solving an interdimensional anomaly would definitely look good on a resume." She followed Jess' pacing with her head before nodding and yawning again. "Yeah... let's do so..." She started to saunter over toward the rooms Lyra pointed out, rubbing her eyes slightly.

Jessica entered the sleeping chambers Lyra had set aside for her most recent guests, doing so quietly so as to not disturb those already sleeping. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I couldn't do what you do...I was also thinking at one point that if I could convince Rex and Lyra to let me sell their accounts of previous anomalies to a publishing company I could probably make a lot of money that way." Jessica telepathically replied to Ness, again to avoid waking the others up. She sat herself down in the middle of one of the free, human-shaped beds and hugged her knees.

Ness entered in after Jessica and took the other free bed. She took off her hat and earrings digitizing them before flopping onto the bed. "Hmm... I don't think either of them would mind their stories being published. Hell... with those two being as colorful as they are, the books would probably sell well. Yeah... running that place is difficult, but fun... They should still be doing fine back there without me." The fedora girl looked up at the ceiling for a moment before turning to Jess and noting her hugging her knees. "Are you alright?"

OoC: One more then I'm done.

Jessica smiled and chuckled a bit at what Ness telepathically said to her. "Hmm?...Yeah I'm fine...this is just how I like to be comfortable." She mentally replied to Ness, assuming it may have been something about her posture that had set off her question.

Ness nodded a bit before laying herself down. She smiled a bit as she saw Jessica chuckling. "Ah, I see. Sorry for asking into that then. Ah... I can barely keep my eyes open..." Ness telegraphed before letting out a louder yawn than before. "Good night, Jessica. Sleep well...." The fedora girl quickly drifted off to sleep afterward.

OoC: Night.

Ness yawned a small bit as she woke up once again. ...I wonder what time it is...?
