we keep on burying our dead

[hegantha]

Characters: Amberley Vail, Ciaphas Cain, Garviel Loken, Open maybe?
Setting: All through the event, various floors.
Format: Action
Summary: Event Stuff. Amberley comes back to the tower as a C worker. Details are over here.

Cain and Garvi are going to both participate in mercy killing Amberley. If anyone wants to kill/be killed/thread with Amberely drop me a pm and we can make plans.

Warnings: Body Horror/Brainwashing, Death, Suicidal thoughts, Dismemberment/Gore, I'll add anything else that might be needed.

[ The woman that could once be called Amberley spends the whole event walking around the halls. Her body has been carved up with sinful marks that give off a weak light green glow, polluting her body and infusing it from the powers of the warp. Amberley's whole body has become so weak from the process that she's constantly using magic to move forward, walking with her body slumped back in an unsettling, inhuman angle. Her only untouched feature, her face, wears a stoic expression, but you can see her eyes darting around occasionally, widened like she's in a constant state of shock.

Sometimes, she's carrying out worker tasks. You may see her holding an organ or carrying bodies around using her newfound magic. Other times, she's walking around soundlessly, entering people's rooms and watching them while they sleep, or just patrolling. ]

Besides what you're seeing now? I think there's been a new person put in charge. Considering what we're looking at right now, he's not exactly a winner, if you catch what I'm saying.

[greyerrant]

This reminds me of some of the things I heard Fabius Bile was doing.

Not good. Is there anything we can do to throw a spanner in the works?

[hideandhero]

Try not to die or give in to heresy?

[Yeah, he doesn't know.]

The only thing that comes to mind is hope the Emperor helps these poor souls because I sure can't.

[greyerrant]

Good starts, and good ideas. But remember, the Emperor protects. And we are his instruments. We'll have to find a way, unless the walls break open and we suddenly find the Primarchs and the Emperor himself saving our carcasses, and I don't foresee that.

[hideandhero]

You never know. I heard that Guilliman fellow has a good chance to return.

[The shit you hear when you're based in the Ultima Segmentum.]

That aside, with a laspistol and chainsword, there isn't much I could do. If I could get into Amberley's stuff, she's probably got some pretty heavy weapons in there.

[greyerrant]

You think the Lord of Ultramar and the 500 worlds would come here?

[ Temporal misunderstandings are the best kind. ]

While I'm loathe to steal wargear, that might not be a bad idea.

[hideandhero]

That what? I'm just saying he's bitten the dust but rumor has it that he'll come back at some point.

[sobsobs]

As long as we're helping others, I'm sure Amberley won't mind. Probably has a weapon that you could use somewhere.

[greyerrant]

That's news to me. Maybe it was something that Lorgar did.

[ He nods his head, and says. ]

Does she have any bolt weapons or chain blades that are in my size/

[hideandhero]

I've got the only chainblade here. I'm pretty sure she keeps the big bolter locked up but...

...it's probably like baby's first firearm to you.

[greyerrant]

Could be. We used cut-down lascarbines to train our initiates, until they're ready for bolters or sniper rifles.

[hideandhero]

I'm guessing by 'lascarbines', you don't mean the same one issued to Guardsmen.
