Sarge, Gary, and Oberon wandered down the corridor, all in dirty combat gear. Oberon had a cut down the side of his face. Gary sighed. "Well, that sucked. All that for nothing but a few corpses." Sarge shrugged. "Hey, it was good exercise." He looked at Oberon. "You did remember to tell everone we were leaving, right?" Oberon's eyes widened. "Oops... Knew I forgot something.."

Jessy came tearing around the corner, sobbing. "DADDY!!! You left!! Where'd you go?!" She nearly tackled Gary, crying into his jacket. There were bandages around her eyes, but seemingly she could walk around with it. Her attire was still the same. She hugged Gary tightly.

Gary smiled, petting Jessy's head. "I just had to go away on a business trip, that's all. Just a firearms deal, nothing serious."
Sarge rolled his eyes and walked off towards his room, slinging his BFG over his shoulder.

"Jus business, eh Sarge?" Daray asked, leaning against a wall, but just around the corner. "Sure about that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. The tip of her tail twitched.
Jessy's tail wagged, though she was still crying like a child. "But.. but.. you left!! And mum was gone!! And... and... They were t-teasing me!!!" She cried.
Four claws gently ran through Oberon's hair gently, not meaning to hurt him. Josie sniffed, ears back, and tail between her legs. She looked on the verge of crying too.

Sarge shrugged. "Gary said that, not me." He said, wiping a bit of blood off his face. But it wasn't his blood.
Gary raised an eyebrow. "Who was teasing you?" He asked, flexing his fingers.
Oberon looked at Josie. "Hey." He smiled, then sighed. "I'm sorry... I had to go with Gary and Sarge..." He frowned. "And I forgot to tell you."

Josie nodded, then looked to the ground. She was really quiet for a while, staring at his feet before hugging him tightly. "I missed you," She said swallowing the lump in her throat.
"Gush and Jill and Jake... All of them basically," Jessy sniffed. Finally she looked up at him. "I missed you daddy!"
Daray blinked a moment, then eyed him suspiciously. "Sarge... what was that you wiped off your face just now?"

Oberon smiled, hugging her back. "I missed you too... but there was nothing I could do." He sighed. "So, how have Michy and Mary been ok?"
Sarge sighed. "Blood. Lizardman blood." He sighed. "Turns out they didn't want to deal at all, they just wanted a fight. So we kicked their asses to hell and back." He told her, lighting up a cigarette.
Gary frowned, then smiled at Jessy. "I missed you too." He nodded. "And I promise you I'll have a word with them."

Jessy grinned and kissed Gary's cheek. "I love you daddy!!" She exclaimed cheerfully.
Daray nodded, sort of thinking about it for a moment before actually understanding most parts. "So... You tried to make a deal with a lizardman over... guns?"
Josie smiled, rubbing her cheek against Oberon's shoulder. "They're fine. They've been quiet, and I've been taking care of them."

Gary smiled, petting Jessy's hair. "I love you too. Now, run along, I have to go find Gush, to give him a talking to."
Sarge nodded. "That's what they told us. Turns out they were just common theives." He slid a cigarette halfway out the pack, offering it to Daray.
Oberon smiled. "And Alien?"
Alien smiled up from behind Oberon. "I've been reading your diary." He grinned.

"You mean this little trouble maker?" Josie teased, petting Alien's head. "Of course, I just can't keep him out of diaries."
Daray hesitated, but accepted the offer. She pulled a lighter out, and lit up the cigarette. She looked at Sarge, tilting her head. "So, curiousity consumes my soul," She said before asking, "Sarge, how long were you in the army anyway?"
Jessy nodded, and ran off to her room again.

Alien shrugged. "They're a lot more fun then the dictionary." He grinned.
Sarge sighed, putting the packet back in his pocket. "Long enough, that's all you need to know."
Gary wandered the halls, looking for gush, flexing his fingers, the knuckles cracking on their own.

Daray raised an eyebrow, then shrugged. "Alright, alright... I won't push..." She said, putting the lighter away.
Gush was on the ceiling, sitting there, as if expecting Gary.
Josie smiled at Alien, and then at Oberon as she picked up Alien. "Ain't he cute?"

Gary pulled out an SMG and shot up, the bullet impacting right in front of Gush. "Get your ass down here."
Oberon nodded, petting Alien's head. "Just don't do it again, ok?"
Alien grinned. "I can't promise anything."

"Hey, Sarge, you really look pale. You should get outside more, huh?" Daray asked, nudging his arm.
Josie tapped Alien's nose. "Now, now. Promise Oberon you won't look in his diary again, ok?" She smiled.
Gush chuckled, and dropped from the ceiling. "Why, you're back. I thought you fell off a cliff," Gush grinned.

Sarge shrugged. "I'll be fine."
Alien smiled. "Aww.... Ok." He nodded.
Gary decided not to dignify Gush's remark with an answer. "What's this I hear about you teasing Jessy?"

"Oh I only teased her once. We all took our turns," Gush said, smirking. "Not entirely my fault now is it?"
Josie smiled at Oberon. "See how easy it is to have him promise?"
"Now watch him break that promise, eh?" Jill said, from the ceiling, lying there.
Daray half glared. "Ya know... remember when you were forced out of the house into the city?"

Gary grabbed Gush by the collar and pinned him against the wall. "Look, I'm REALLY not in the mood for this. You can either tell me exactly what's been going on, or I can force it out of you." As he spoke, red lightning began running up his legs.
Alien grinned up at Jill. "I'll try."
Sarge nodded. "Yeah, what about it?"

"You met a friend." Daray said, pointing to herself. "Me. Now, are you ever going to trust me like friends do?"
Jill let out a laugh, and dropped to the floor, still laughing.
Gush rolled his eyes. "Gary, calm down boy. I swear, you're so possesive over Des and Jessy."

"Trust is something I gave up on a long time ago." Sarge told her, stamping out his cigarette.
Alien grinned, running off.
Gary growled, tightening his grip. "Don't tell me to calm down." He told Gush, reaching for one of his SMGs.

Gush shook his head sympathetically then said, "Look, it's natural for us to pick on Jessy. Her eyes started going all weird." He said.
Daray looked at him sadly. "Alright." She nodded, standing on her own feet, away from the wall. "See you around then," She said, turning to walk away.
