Rating: R for lots of violence

[ It’s strange how the twist of events of a simple evening walk could change much of everything. In an instant, that was Luceti’s way of things, changing things in an instant. And Helios never even saw it coming. There were still parts of that night and parts of his soul that he never truly understood. But there were always ways of finding out. They say hands on experience is one of the best ways of learning. And this is a lesson he and several others won't soon forget. ]

She's a god in her own right. I am not overly familiar with the rites, rituals, and mythology of Japan outside of what Rei- [Dark hair melting, skin cracking, a young girl screaming- Adele flinches and shakes her head. Work.] has performed in the village.

[A slow breath, an almost desperate suck on her cigarette.]

Whatever she is- truly or otherwise, she's better able to handle Apep than we are.

[Adele blows smoke out over the note cards, looking for...something. Anything that could help.]

I'll do it later, Commander.

Shifts, Shepard. If we don't clean it, a Malnosso will get to it eventually.

[His tone was flat, as if he were speaking something scripted but without feeling. He could keep going, for now. He didn't know how long.

The thought of Saori's smile calmed him a little--even the alien-like visage of her divine form as the embodiment of storms, truly a being made of wind and rain, brought him a degree of peace. He had felt her strength first hand on the roof top, and knew that he had no more than a glimpse of her true potential...

Lupin grabbed for his journal and stood, wavering momentarily on unsteady feet.]

I'll go make the call. [A beat. Without Luke...] If anyone here can handle this, she can.

I know there's shit we need to figure out, but the less mess we have, the better. [Work is best done organized, not like slobs. >:| Her attention remains on the window, however. One could say her bad feeling is taking priority here, and not the discussion.]

Lupin- Don't. Just. Make it in here.

[After what happened the day before? She doesn't want him out of her sight for anything. Not again. And not while he's like this.]

[He flopped back down in his chair, grateful for its presence. As much as he was willing and able to put on a show, he knew that it could only last for so long. He would regret all actions taken at this point...eventually.]

...You think this is bad, Shepard? You should see how my work spaces at home get.
[Referring to his various safe houses back in his world.

He nodded quietly at Adele, understanding her concern entirely. Hadn't he sworn to never have her upset again?]

I will...just, be cool.

[If he doesn't, she'll make sure he gets a nice reminder. Just a nod comes from her in acknowledgement.

She checks her guns for the umpteenth time of the day, grimacing at how the oh-so-useful thermal clips don't even cool off right. Ejecting it, and hoping it cools that way, she puts the Revenant and Phalanx aside, before returning to watch duty. If anyone wanted to bother her, she was open to it -- just. Don't distract her for so long she can't keep her attention here.]

My housemate and someone I promised to watch over is possessed by a god of darkness and chaos and wrecking havoc in the village. I am as cool as I am going to be in these circumstances.

[She double checks the notes and books for the fifth time in the past ten minuets, flipping over dog eared pages and verifying what she thought they'd learned. The same details pop up- along with useful if worrying bits of Apep's mythology.]

Stay cool then.

[His tone is clipped as he flips through the pages to find Saori's journal, clearly distracted as he prepares himself mentally.]

No one can ask for much more. Just stay cool, and remind us all not to die.

I shouldn't have to-[Fluid joints and lanky limbs bent at unnatural angles- twisted, torn, wrong- a green jacket soaked in red and the bubbling gurgle of a man struggling to breathe-

Adele forces her eyes shut and buries her face in her hands. Not real. Not happening. Lupin is FINE. That never happened.]

...but I will.
