Northern Road - Day 6 - 08:15
"Well... you're mostly right. But still, things are not all that bleak~", Timea responded after another moment of thought, speaking with some forced cheer, to try and keep spirits up. She snapped her fingers to announce a touch, the lightly poked Anik in the side with a blunted nail. "My opinion on you not being very positive isn't as straight forward. I frown on your past, yes, but you show genuine remorse, and desire to change. Like I said, for this reason, I don't look down on you as a person", she explained, then trailed off, scratching the back of her head. "... If that makes sense. Either way, I hold out hope things can change for the better, otherwise I would not bother trying to help."
"Violence begets violence." Robin warned them. "And I can vouch for the meeting with Et. I talked to her too."

"I don't really understand how you can look down on me, but not me as a person ... but thanks, anyways." Anik said, in fact confused. "I also hope things can get better ... and my body does not betray me again."

"Well... ", Timea began, trying to find a better way to explain what she meant, and failed. "Uhh... I can't really explain it any clearer than I did. I suppose my vocabulary is letting me down. Whatever the case, if you happen to be attacked, I wouldn't simply leave you to your fate. I have safeguarded your life before, you know?" At the end of her sentence, Timea spoke with clear mock indignation, letting out an exaggerated "humph!"
Northern Road - Day 6 - 08:15
"Right. I am sorry. I did not mean it like this. I would go to prison for you .. or ...
I guess we both fail at using the right words." Anik said, then stayed silent for a moment, not knowing what to add.

"Oh, don't fret over it", Timea responded light-heartedly, feeling a little amused by Anik's reaction. After, she spoke more seriously again. "but, thank you for the gesture. Friends or not, that means something." Smiling a little to herself, Timea was quiet for a moment, then decided to change the subject.
"Speaking of vocabularies, however. I have been wondering; Is this your mother tongue? It doesn't seem to be so, judging by your accent."
Northern Road - Day 6 - 08:16
Anik was relieved Timea was not really offended, and said, as the change of topic was announced:
"Well, it's not really ... but I don't use my 'mother' tongue anymore. I probably even unlearned it. This is my mother tongue now, even if it was not the first I learned, and even if I have this accent. I think it has a certain charm to it, I felt no reason to try to get rid of it."
She smiled, and added: "I don't even really remember the reasons anymore. But there is no reason to try and think back.
... wow, I am pathetic. Every subject we talk about arrives at a point where I don't want to remember, or talk about it, anymore."
Now, Anik clenched a fist. "I guess I have to create new things to remember, then. Say, are we still moving around the mountain, or does it lay behind us?"

Femesh Daer - Day 4
Once the guards noticed Shara was awake, one of them would pass the message on to Yeager, directing him towards the cell where Shara was being kept, in the church.

Veketta - Day 6
The brown wolf growled quietly, then said, "They're clearly lying, and not very well. Someone get them out of here!" A pair of guards moved towards Robin, EMily and the Doctor.

"Should I tell them about the world conquering dinosaur or not?" The Doctor whisper to Robin.
In Shara's head
You glare back silently at Sam, then reply; [color=0066cc]"I don't suppose you have anything useful to add? Being stuck in a cell is hardly how I want to spend my days."[/color]

Femesh Daer - Cell - Day 4
You slowly come back out of your trance, and then glance over at the locked door when you hear somebody whistle. You close your eyes for a moment and try to reach out to see the 'weaves' of whoever is approaching. At first you are confused, but then you realise it is actually several people, not one. More than that you can't tell, for now, but a hint of a smile goes across your face as you sit up in your bed.

"Oh for the love of god! I AM NOT LYING!" EMily yelled out ferociously.
<color=green>"We're only visitors trying to understand this world!" Winona pleaded. <color=green>"If you kick us out, we may never understand anything at all!"
"And this whole world will get one greater step towards paranoia and misunderstanding if you go to war! If you choose the quick and easy path of killing your enemy and living under paranoia, you will never ever find out how to to remove those qualms either for Calibethians or for yourselves! If you never wish to find evidence and seek peace with those around you, you will live on in ignorance of the world and the universe. And that is a recipe for self destruction and everything will perish!"

Robin looked to EMily and Winona, smiling at them.
[color=edc393]"Sorry, no. I am in your head, so if I had an idea you would have had it by now."[/color]

Femesh Daer - Day 4
A pair of guards escorted Yeager up to the door to Shara's cell, then slid open a panel at around head height, allowing Yeager to see inside.
Rebecca, meanwhile, decided to explore the city while Yeager visited Shara.

Veketta - Day 6
A bear glared at EMily and replied, "You accuse us of not wishing to find evidence, but you and your companions offer none. You come in here, make vague claims and when asked for clarification state that you actually know nothing." He pointed at the Doctor as he spoke, to clarify that the statements were about the Doctor specifically.
"If your claims are not lies, then you must be fools for thinking we would take your word at face value." one of the feline clan leaders added.
The brown wolf then said, between low growls, "The way to bring peace to our world is through destroying the Calibethan Empire. Only then can we all exist peacefully, without the threat of the Calibethans invading and slaughtering our people. And if you think this is nothing but paranoia, then why would, as your friend claimed, the Empire be developing new weapons, if not to attack?"

"A very good point. But it was not I that said that I knew nothing. The Doctor is a newcomer, and does not know the complete situation at hand. Eye! Show them the 3D scans of the ruins of the city and the 3D scans of the weapons being made."
"Yes ma'am."
Magic Eye's capacitors charged up to create one of the largest holographic projections. The map of the ruins was displayed in full 3 dimensional detail. On top of that map were the weapons that Magic Eye had recorded from the shop.
Her voice became bolder and more projected.
"Destruction can only do so much here! The violence will just ensure the right for the Calibethians to attack! Paranoia only leads to being steeled to the teeth and ready for war day by day pointing swords at one another, waiting for one to draw blood. And you'll never have the chance of thinking that there might be some people over there that don't want war. What if there's people over there that want to get along? On my planet there existed a long century of what was called atomic weapons. These weapons were titanic arrows the size of buildings whose explosive payload could level whole cities and kill off millions." She snapped her fingers, and Magic Eye then showed a holographical display of Hiroshima explosion.
"Ever since their introduction in the 2nd World War by the United States, the two countries of the United States of America and Soviet Russia competed in an arms race, building more and more atomic weapons. And these weapons grew even more and more powerful as their tests displayed. They littered the countrysides in the tens of thousands and had enough power to fly over countries. They were called Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles or ICBMs. And for decades they sat with their city destroying weapons pointed at one another, all the while waiting for the first blood to be drawn! Until finally it ended. It was realized it would be a futile endeavor to win a war with these atomic weapons. Too many lives and resources would be lost, and the environment would suffer as well. And the strain of potential war was too much for the civilians they watched over. They realized everyone across the globe grew scared and helpless, and they started to distrust their own leaders. The atomic weapons around the country diminished rapidly. And the two countries sat, and still sit, on peaceful terms to this day. That was nearly a thousand years ago for me. But for my country , and many others across my world, it is a lesson to never keep pointing weapons at one another and wait to kill."
Magic Eye returned the image of the ruined city and weapons.

"The empire has no new weapons. It is one independent inventor creating them." Robin clarified, checking his bag and pulling out the tome of Et's rituals.
Veketta - Day 6
"You seem to be missing the point. We intend to destroy the empire so they can never attack us, or anyone, again." one of the wolves said to EMily. "We aren't making threats, or pointing weapons at them preparing for war. We are planning to make war and end the conflict once and for all."
Ferren then sat up and asked EMily, "You say your home nation was part of two world wars, before this conflict with 'Soviet Russia', correct? Why did these world wars occur?"
One of the bears then addressed Robin, saying, "You said this inventor shows loyalty to the Calibethans, meaning he could be supplying them with his weapons."

Northern Road - Day 6 - 08:17
Timea wondered what Anik's first language sounded like, but with Anik not remembering how to speak it, there was no point in asking. She also wondered how the language had bad memories associated with it, but didn't ask on this as Anik changed the subject.
"We moved passed it, a while ago. But there are more, further north", she answered. "Why do you ask?"
