A slightly smaller Mess

Charles: he mentioned prospero though. Likely he fell....ten thousand years ago in that case.

She grabs her towel swinging it around akiras neck pulling her in to grab the back of it crossing her forearms to create a vice to cut circulation before tripping akira getting on top of her getting on her joints so she can't fight back " tap when you've had enough"

*he writes a longer message, frowns, then scribbles it out, writes something shorter, and hands it to charles.*

"We'll get him though."

He reads

Mute: *nods*

"Hopefully...I'm not shocked prospero turned him."

*Mute shrugs*

"Would you if you were deceived into attacking your allies, and had to fight your way through blood crazed unarmed civilians"

Mute: *Raises an eyebrow in a sort of "I quite possibly have done that." sort of way*

Charles: ....let me show you. *psychic vision-ator*

*mute looks up at burning white spires, the carnage and destruction around him. the image flickers momentarily, a line of guardsmen appears, mac with sword drawn, mouth open yelling, as workers, gangers and a few guardsmen descend on them wielding all forms of improvised weapon, and the odd lasgun.* "mmnmmm.." *Mute closes his eyes and shakes his head to clear the image*

Charles: *stops* sorry. That was probably a bad idea.

Mute: *Writes a note* "We've all done some bad stuff."

I'm here bud we can continue if you want)

OOC: Sure

Ooc I believe it's your turn

Akira: *during the attack, akira managed to get a hand under the towel, and she pulls forwards, drawing her off her shoulders, just enough to roll forwards, and throw her off* "Well, you're quite experienced."

As she's thrown off she crawls right back locking her legs around her neck pushing akiras knee joints in the opposite direction

*Akira looks genuinely conflicted. ~Do i hit this child, she's very good at grappling... but i still don't want to punch this child.~ in the end akira opts to simply use her body weight, and fall ontop of the girl, pinning her down*

As akira used her weight on vee , wee countered it pulling her close to continue her vice like grip around her neck akira could hear vee panting though getting tired.

OOC: Rping beating up a small child is weird.

*She Continues to push her weight down into vee's stomach, dropping more and more onto her by increments, waiting until it becomes too much for her, but without hurting her seriously.*

Charles: prospero was...different.

Mute: *nods, he saw the scale of it*

She eventually gives up laying on the floor panting tapping the mat .

Akira: *sits up on her knees.* "You're pretty good." *akira seems almost unphased by the activity*

"not just in scale."

Mute: *nods again, there's sadness in his eyes.*

" thank you " she says tiredly huffing on the floor" c- can I tell you a secret"

Akira: "Of course sweetie"

" I have a imaginary friend who speaks to me in my dreams and in my thoughts , they say they can give me sight "she rubs her arm nervously looking away.

Charles: do you know much of the heresy, mute?

Akira: "oh... I wouldn't listen to them..."

Mute: *he holds out a hand and wobbles it from side to side, meaning "A little"*

" y-you don't think I'll have my sight?" She asked saddened by the news " c-can we go see daddy s-soon?"

Akira: "Sweetie, of course you will, but mummy and daddy will help, not some voices. Of course, lets go see him now." *she holds out her hand, rather confused that the skilled martial artist she just sparred with calls her mummy.*

Charles: prospero was...one of mankind's greatest mistakes

Mute: *Eyebrow raise*

Charles: a loyal legion was ordered to attack their rivals and allies. The thousand sons primarch, magnus, discovered horus' betrayal and tried to warn the emperor. Through a psychic accident Magnus allowed daemons to follow his projection to terra. As a result, the emperor did not beleive him, and ordered horus to bring magnus in alive for questioning. Horus, having secretly already fallen, Ordered the space wolves to annihilate the thousand sons, and burn their world to the ground. All the beautiful architecture, all the knowledge gathered, in quantities incomprihensible, destroyed. Brother turned on brother. And only after it was done, did the wolves learn of their mistake. That the slaughter they'd conducted in the emperor's name was the only crime that had been committed.

Mute: "hmmmn..."

*lucy rolls over in her sleep, and mute looks over, then back to charles when she settles again*

Charles: want me to leave you to it?

*He stands up, and shoos charles out of the room, and out into the corridor, leaving his stubber behind, with a note for lucy, then hands charles another note once they're out in the hall* "I don't want to wake her"

Charles: ah, fair enough.

Mute: *leans against the wall, and gestures for charles to continue*

Vee grabs her hand following her closely " is it alright if I call you mommy? "

Charles: anyway... the thousand sons survived but were decimated...you saw what became of their home, their people, and their vast accumulated knowledge...unlike anything else in the galaxy...gone.

Akira: "Of course sweetie."

mute: *he nods sombrely, and takes a packet of lho sticks from his pocket, and offers one to charles*

he takes one

" how is daddy anyways I'm always nervous when I'm àround him"

Akira: "Max... He's a big softy, just not so great at people. Most people think i'm the scary one."

Mute: *flips open a lighter, lights charle's, then his own, and takes a drag.* "mmmmnnn." *he shakes his head, holds the lho stick in his mouth, and writes another note, and passes it.*

"Humans are all fallible, i suppose, even primarchs, and the emperor."

Charles: you know there are a lot of men and women too blind to see that.
