Several of Clan Wolf's elementals are laid up in the infirmary, not looking happy as they're hooked up to machines that beep and whirr and keep them alive. They have gruesome wounds: huge pitch black bruises bespeaking internal injury from vicious snouts, chunks ripped from their skin. Whatever they fought back there, it was vicious enough to put several of the huge, genetically engineered power-armor troopers hors d'combat for weeks and months.

Then a documentary about marine life comes on the holoset left to keep them from getting too bored and suddenly every hand reaches for a weapon. React? Change the channel?

It's almost time to go and that means the dire wolves are due to be released soon: Ulric (gray brindle), Natasha (all black), Vlad (red brindle), Kaya (grey with brown paws) and Isaac (brown with blood red spots). Terrifying creatures, they each now stand the height of an adult human. These are not the cuddly pups you made much of six months ago. These are wild fucking animals and even the elementals wrangling them onto the dropship are wary of them.

Still, if you were kind to them, they may remember you...if you're not too scared to get close.

It had been a hard day and Resnick was not one to usually burn the midnight oil. In the wee hours, he was sprawled face down on his spartan bunk. With both roommates absent, he could drift into deep sleep as he drooled on his pillow, dreaming that he was wearing his ceremonial leathers in a vat of sour cream while a floating nova cat (the animal, not the Clan) told him that it was developing an attraction to corpulent women. It had been a long day, full of rocket rides and terrible dolphins who were most definitely not thankful for all the fish.

He certainly didn't expect what happened next.

"Yeah, at least this one didn't shoot me full of hooolllessss." Her face was back in his chest again, drunkenly wailing like an infant, beyond the point where logic could penetrate her temporary sorrow. "But I dumped Yasuba, I left him with no explanation, I deserved that. Maybe I deserved this too. Maybe I just deserve to be misserrabbblleeee. And I just got Gainer to agree to go with me when our jobs are done, how could I raise a teenage boy with out a man like that?" She finished off the bottle, in one big gulp, and set it on one of the low shelves in the little work room.

"Well, look at Ranna and I. We had no fathers. As long as he has you to guide him he will grow up fine." No mothers either, for that matter. Just several dozen siblings, all born at the exact same time as you, all jostling for position and recognition but forming bonds that would last the rest of their short lives.

He stood, pulling her up and supporting her on his arm, with some effort. A limp human being was one of the most difficult objects to move, as all EMTs knew.

"You must sleep. You are dwelling on the past." Great Father knew he recognized the signs from experience.

Adette's knees bobbled under her weight, and she clung to Resnick to keep from falling. Her high heels only seemed to exacerbate the problem. "You can't put me to bed! You're not my mother!" But she didn't fight him at all, somewhere in her intoxication she knew it was time. She had taken enough of his for one night, and the moment her head hit the pillow she would be out like a light. "I'll go to bed wh'n I wan'to, and dwell on shit wh'e I wan'to!" Her lips started the slur her words a little, but she held stead fast to Resnick, and followed as faithfully as a (drunk) hound.

"Aff, I do dread facing your wrath in a Trial of Refusal on this right now." He said, rolling his eyes. The drink had settled in his stomach too, but she'd clearly gotten the majority of it.

When he got to her door, he needed both hands to keep her up so he had to use his knee to open the latch and kick it open.

With Adette not actually OPENING the door, that means the guy inside has to open it.

And damn it if he wasn't sleeping!

"What are you doing so late banging on my door..." he bitches, rubbing his eyes. He hasn't picked up on Adette being there at first. "H-hey... what's wrong with Adette?"

Fuck you, I'm shitfaced!

[heartyourmetalwolf]

Adette was all but carried in, her hair tumbling around her shoulders, and masking her face.
"Michealll lefftttt meeeee." She whined loudly, her body more than ready to be in her bed. Tomorrow she would be embarrassed for being this shit faced in front of Gainer, but she had to sleep it off somewhere. Adette made it to the edge of the bed, and pulled deftly at the buckles of her shoes, dropping them away and pulling her legs up into her bed, her head hung low on her shoulders heavy with the weight of intoxication and romantic devastation. Although the hang over was sure to be killer, Adette knew she would live through it, as she would live through this 'break-off' as Resnick put it.
"I'm sor'y if we woke you up."

"She is intoxicated." He said, as if the absolute reek of vodka and the way her head lolled like a bobble head doll wasn't enough.

When she managed to get into bed, he looked down at her with an indulgent smile, realizing that this kindof thing happening was the eternal price of being her trothkin.

And then back to being stony faced when he remembered Gainer was there.

[turningyaponese]

"I can tell... Look just..." Gainer sighed heavily. "Just keep it down, and I'll forgive you." he scolds.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow or something but... it's late..." At least according to his biological sleepy-time clock, it was late. Traveling the world meant... sleep times were relative... You sleep when you're tired, and Gainer was tired.

Adette nodded and she pulled the covers over her head, using the privacy below to peel off her stockings, skirt, and vest. She dropped them on the floor unceremoniously, and took one of Resnick's fingers in her hands.
"Thanks. I owe you one." And then to Gainer. "Let's do that..." Then Adette rolled over and promptly passed the fuck out.
