Behind a wooden door marked "Bristle Crios Nurse's Office," one might find a modest room within the administrator's building. Neat, white tiles line the floor, accented with black squares centered within each tile. Four twin-sized beds are placed toward the back of the office, every one of them blanketed in clean sheets and fresh pillows. Circling above every bed, are curtain rods, the hangings pulled back and bunched to the right of each cot.

To the left of the room is a desk, one that is full of records, with manila folders, stuffed with paper, stacked to the right corner of the desk. A black, corded telephone is placed right next to that kempt stack of envelopes. A laptop is present in the center of the counter, right in front of where the black leather rolling chair is settled. On the right, nearest the laptop is black and silver frame containing a picture"one of a red-eyed, handsome man with black hair in semi-formal attire holding up a little girl with dark, curly hair and violet eyes"both smiling big, cheesy grins. Hung up all around the wall behind the desk, are pieces of paper crucified against the wall with scotch tape.

On the right of the room is a stool placed to face the wall where, pinned up to it, is an optometry poster"rows of random letters, shrinking as they near the bottom of the page. There are a few more, unimpressive pieces of machinery scattered about the room, and a few charts, followed by a stack of pamphlets. Near the poster, is another one" An outline of the human body, labeling the parts" Perhaps it is a pain chart.." There's a modest medical cabinet near that right wall, closer to the back and next to the beds. The cupboard, doubling as a cooler contained all sorts of supplies, including a peculiar locked case labeled, "Emergency Only."

There's not a thing off about the room's atmosphere"except maybe the mocha haired woman sitting at the desk" Occasionally one would walk in and catch her stuttering to the computer, or, more likely, arguing with it. Other times she'd seem confused about the phone, or lost within the paper work. Still, the woman was easy on the eyes, and had a disarming personality. Whenever that door opened, she'd stammer out' "Hi. C-c-can I h-help y-you?" Appearing more like a receptionist than anything, Martyr might seem out of place in that office.

Wheat colored eyes surveyed the sign that said Nurse's Office. Those two words told Kruger he was in the right place. He pulled at the door and spun sideways as habit had him do rather than get a shoulder bashed on a narrow door frame. He spotted the nurse quickly as she stuttered out her greeting to him. That face with the wolf brand under his left eye gave a grin broad enough to blind. His shirt was bloody, freshly so though it was obvious by the bundle in his arms that it wasn't his blood.

Little Tommy Delgado was crying loudly on Kruger's shoulder. He held onto a finger that looked as though it might well be wrapped in a piece of that shirt that Kruger wore. "Forgive the intrusion nurse"but Tommy got his finger caught in something and"well I guess you can see the result." Kruger took Tommy's hand and held it out for Martyr to look over. He wasn't tall, far from it unless one was a dwarf, or a pixie. The dark hair had been trimmed recently as though he had needed to look his best.

"I'm sorry"name's Kruger and I am in the daycare center." He focused on her face as he waited for her to unwrap the injured digit. It would be fairly obvious what Tommy had gotten caught up in. He gave a small nod. "Yeah"his brother Timmy did it, though Tommy did put his finger in there on purpose." It seemed kind of a silly reason to come to the nurse's office. There were of course worse things that could happen; he supposed that this was preferable to something more serious.

He let his eyes travel through the room, noting the charts and pamphlets. The laptop had him shaking his head. He had once hit something similar with a hammer because it had told him to "Hit Enter". Tommy was lowered to the floor while smith turned teacher walked around the room. He spun on Martyr when he got to the cabinet labeled for emergencies. "I'm not really sure how this works"There is a student teacher up with the kids'shall I stay??

Those amethyst orbs drifted up toward Kruger, and the boy that he held in his arms. Words drifted to ears as copious lips pursed up in confusion. Nurse" Oh, right, that was her" Wasn't it' Rising from the seated position, and brushing off the frustration at the ringing phone. Slowly unwrapping the cloth from the kid's finger with a careful set of her own, Martyr looked over the boy's injury. The blood had her stomach doing cartwheels in her body' One would think, with all the abuse the creature had endured, the sticky vital oozing from the boy's digit would appear as paint to her. Still, she didn't think she'd ever get used to the sight of blood"at least not other people's.

The doe-eyed dame finally brought her eyes back up to the man, with a dumbfound expression at his introduction. "O-oh, m-my n-name is M-martyr?" She spoke with a glance to the ceiling before she nodded, as if to confirm her own statement. "I'm g-gonna g-get you all n-nice and f-fixed up, ok-kay?"

Then, with an ungloved hand, Martyr gripped his finger and applied a bit of pressure. "It'll j-just b-be a s-second," she stammered out to him. A balled fist that held the digit began to illuminate over the already lit room, it wasn't anything too impressive?

Then, when she pulled away, the once-wound had been wiped from existence it would seem. Perhaps with a second glance, though, one might notice that her own digit had been split open and was oozing an elixir of her very own. There was a slight tick in her left eye as she examined her own wound now. Parts of it excited her most primal instincts, and that was what scared her the most'

Kruger

For him it was a relief to be here, to be the observer rather than the observed. Kruger studied the nurse, a name now to go with the face. "Martyr"It is a pleasure to meet you." His head tilted at her seeing something coming for him on the horizon. He closed his eyes against such realizations, not wanting to think on the work that had just been inspired. Rather he let himself be amazed by the healing of one wound, and more than that the creating of another.

Tommy had stopped crying as pain flowed away from him and flesh knit back together. He gave her a smile of gratitude and innocence that can only be achieved by the young. Dark haired and dark eyed but the latter shined. It could have simply been the remnants of the tears he had been shedding. Whatever the cause, it rested on her face and refused to look away.

While he was intrigued by the method, he grew concerned as well by the transfer of injury. While it made a kind of sense that the boys suffering be eased. Kruger couldn't help but think the cost was at least as much as the reward. "Martyr" Is that gonna'do you need help with that?" He pointed a calloused finger at the wound that had formed, and was now making its own version of crimson tide, on her finger. He looked to Tommy and put a hand to the boy's shoulder. In part this was done to keep him close by since he was Kruger's responsibility.

What was he prepared to do anyway' Rumor would have others knowing exactly how far he would go when he felt the need open up on his shoulders. The injury was small, or comparatively so, but perhaps she needed his assistance with a bandage. He could accomplish that, there was that emergency supply cabinet. There was part of him that would have joked about the need for weapons within but this was Rhydin and he didn't want to give out any ideas.

Martyr's eyes had been fixated on that wound of hers; staring widely at it with an open mouth. "Hm' Oh, huh?" The woman asked, pulling her hand up to her face and squinting at it. The way she stared, it had almost looked as if she were scolding the wound. It was then, that the flesh began to mend and crawl shut. "Oh, n-no! I d-d-does it on its own!" The woman chimed, and peered at the little boy with a squinting and confused expression as if she were trying to read him like a book.

With all of the lovely things she could do, reading a mind wasn't one of them' The eccentric nurse relayed the smile and showed a bit of those dull whites. "Y-you f-feel b-better, honey?" The mocha haired woman asked with a grin on her face as the creature waltzed her way to her desk and pulled a bowl of candy from the drawer. "W-w-want a p-piece" T-the b-blue one is M-max's f-favorite?"

Awkwardness settled in for the woman, a certain shyness that didn't seem to ever go away. Those lovely round cheeks lit with carmine. Still, she held out the bowl of assorted lollipops for the boy to pick and choose. "S-s-so w-what exactly d-did h-his f-finger g-get c-caught on' B-because t-that r-really h-hurt...I c-c-can see why h-he w-was c-crying!?

Kruger

Tommy got down and greedily took one of those blue ones. Perhaps firmly believing that Max wanted him to have it. He gave her a toothy smile as he popped the candy into his mouth. "My brutter bited me." He held up the formally offended finger and flexed it for her. "Who Max?" He danced from one foot to the next humming as he sucked on the candy and waited for the woman to answer.

Kruger was Tommy watched like a hawk. He would take him the moment he thought the boy was becoming a nuisance to her. The question had been taken up by Tommy and answered as well as he could have in Kruger's opinion. That wouldn't stop him from expanding though, as the boy left out the critical parts. "Yes, Timmy bit him because he was trying to take the cookie directly out of his mouth." That meretricious grin found Kruger's face and sat right on it. He found himself watching them both now wondering if she was going to tell the boy who Max was. He reached down to pick Tommy back up again lollipop stick protruding from his lips. "Where do you come from Martyr and where is Max?"

Tommy fidgeted in front of them dancing from one leg to another humming with the end of a lollipop stick potruding from lips that were growing sticky. He listened halfheartedly to grown up talk but had little interest in much beyond who Max was. He gave a loud slurp of saliva that had come from the corner of his mouth.

Martyr

Date: 2013-01-28 03:10 EST
Max" Who was Max" Oh, right, she knew that answer. Martyr leaned her body to place the candy bowl back onto her desk, and then kneeled before him. "M-max is m-my little g-girl?" The woman told him with a firm nod of her head, answering the first question, before Kruger sent two more her way. Copious lips pursed as the woman elevated from the kneeling position to face the man. Eyes drifted across the floor for a moment. There was blood on it, and the poor thing was going to have to clean that up later" Unless of course she wanted to scoot her desk right on over it"and she thought about it! "H-huh?" Martyr asked, distracted from her silent plotting. "R-right! I w-well" I lived in a v-village of p-people sort of l-like m-me, b-but I'm an ab-bomination s-so I g-guess I r-r-really shouldn't exist?" There Kruger went, getting the stuttering girl to ramble on.

The shy, stammering immortal granted him those soft, vibrant pools of violet as she offered an uneasy smile. "B-but I d-d-do! And I'm f-from a p-place c-called S-sama?" The creature said with a nod that quaked the very mocha locks on her head. "M-max is w-w-with h-her d-dad w-when I w-work, and s-sometimes I k-keep h-her in h-here w-w-with m-me. S-she l-likes t-to p-play h-hide and s-seek?? Martyr retrieved a photograph from the drawer of her desk, and brought it over to show the child and the man. The picture contained a curly-topped little girl, as wide-eyed as her mother, that rivaled the very violet eyes that had suited Martyr so well. "T-that's M-max..."

Kruger

Date: 2013-01-29 02:09 EST
Kruger accepted the offer of those violet eyes, accepting them as though they were gems set aside for one of his high end hilts. He listened to her as she spoke of being an abomination. He shook his head without knowing the way he already understood that it was the abomination that made the standard for normal. "We, who have been cast aside for our lack, often shine with a brighter light."

They had called him blind among his kin. He was unable to see what the others did because his parentage was mixed. Yet he was here and successful. "I look forward to watching your star rise Martyr." The picture frame was claimed and the grin came out again. "She is beautiful"She has your eyes."

The picture was given back with a final look from mother to child and back. "You know that staff has access to the daycare right' I know some mothers prefer to have their children with them but if you ever need to"feel free to drop her off." He reached down to pick up Tommy who seemed to be making a run for the candy jar. Probably trying to get some fire insurance money from it. "She could spend time with others her age. Miranda often drops her daughter by too'she loves playing Pirate Princess."

The smith turned teacher turned to leave but looked back with those greengold eyes. "Welcome to the Bristle Crios Martyr, I promise that this isn't an everyday occurrence." He turned to step through the door with a final wave and then an upnod down the hallway to another whom he knew by sight at least.

He looked Tommy square in the eyes. "I think you got to be the first patient bubba"whatcha think of that?"

Tommy grinned at Kruger with a sticky smile. "She's pwetty. And givesd me candy.?

Martyr

Date: 2013-02-01 14:25 EST
That very room where a few days ago, the stammering soul might have given Kruger and the boy a final wave, told him to have a good day, was now emptied of heart and soul. Martyr had not showed up for work, but nor did she collect her things. The picture of Max and Valcroix was still sitting upon the desk where she'd sat it. There hadn't been much to day about the too-clean room, except that it simply shouldn't have been vacant' That desk chair simply should have had that pert rear sitting upon it, and there should have been a stuttering voice griping at the pesky and confusing electronics" There was none, and it all became too real upon entrance. Personal objects left behind, public objects'such as the laptop"were left open. The phone was left, ringing constantly"perhaps someone looking for her on the other line"

Or perhaps, and quite possibly?nobody had noticed the absence of the quiet, strange nurse. Maybe nobody at this place had took notice of her arrival to the school save for the quirky blacksmith, who, without an injured child might not stop by'

Arthour

Date: 2013-02-01 15:25 EST
Oh, someone had noticed her alright, and they were on their way down to say hello and welcome her to the Academy, now they knew she was there.

Walking along the corridor, Arthour's ever so practical boots clipped with each footstep, slowly carrying him closer and closer to the Nurses Office to greet Martyr. He'd only recently heard she was the new nurse. His black cloak billowed behind him as he move, wrapping around his form as he went, black jeans, a black tunic and of course, his sword completed his attire. Eventually, his steps came to a halt as he neared the nurses office.

Stopping before the door, he adjusted his tunic, raised a hand and knocked...Only for the door to open ajar as he did...Odd He thought. Pushing the door open none the less, he smiled at the occupant...Who was absent.

"Martyr?"

He called, looking about for the woman with the stutter. Now where in the heck could she be? Arthour moved abut the office. Laptop was still here, picture of Max (Whom he recognised from the Ball from the previous month) Closing the laptop, as he had no idea how to go about operating such a device, he sat in the chair and looked about.

Now, he knew she was meant to be here today. It was on the rota, so....Where was she" She was a fairly nervous person, so he doubted she would just be wondering the Academy...And then there was all these personal items and such, just left with the door open...No, something was up, maybe Nazareth was after Martyr again? Perhapes she had left town once more to flee her" Sighing, he thunked his head down on the desk. How did theses things keep happening"

He stayed there for a moment like that, then with a sudden burst of seed, he's up and heading out the door, making sure to shut it and leave it locked. Someone would have to secure Martyr's stuff but right now, he knew something was wrong. It would need dealing with, prehapes another visit to the Inn will provide answers? At any rate thats where he's heading, with speed. If nothing else, thats where things tend to come together.

Val

Date: 2013-02-03 03:39 EST
Threading the clock's lazy needles with his eyes, Val's crossed-legs begin to grind and wiggle through the thigh to end at foot. A nerved tick. It was late. Too goddamn late. Smashing his fifth cigarette to death in the tray at his side, Val rises, nostrils, lips and maybe even ears venting smoke as the speedy cadaver rushes into Max's room. Hesitant to smack the switch wired to the little lights above her slumbering head, the man issues a static expression, all-save the lash-falls that rummage through the darkness.

He flicks the switch and speaks-easy to the sleepy little thing. Though, for his own safety, he remained in the door's frame.

"Max...Max, baby. We need to get up and go see Mommy."



The two year old diva looked at him through squinted, narrowed, spinning eyes and huffed lightly, before pulling the blankets over her head. "No, daddy.." The little thing protested, and laid back down.

"Max," her father sharply orders; the title fired imperatively. "Your mother didn't come home yet. We need to go down to the Academy and see her. We're leaving now."



With the slightest of sighs, the little thing sat up, threw off the covers and huffed at her father. "Okay, daddy...You carry." The girl said softly. "Dun forget coat, and shoes.." Reminding her father, as if he were absent minded. "Mommy yell at you."



Val's worried face hangs a smile for the girl. Lit against the angst and unsettled feelings that truly reside, the grin is a practical mutation; but as he was but-treading the wire of assumption, he'd not dare worry his little girl. "Thank you, baby. I won't forget." Doing as she asked, the man reentered Max's room, buttoned-her-up in warm winter-wear and a snow cap that did what it could atop her leaping curls, and made for the door. Two fingers rap against the denim pocket swallowing the key she'd given.

A quarter-hour of walking and chatting-up his little beauty, Val and Max arrive at the Academy's enigmatic glow. He still wasn't sure what these walls truly housed, but no prickling sense of mistrust had risen upon rubbing elbows with the alumni and staff while attending the Formal a few weeks prior. Crossing the lavish halls and corridors, Val stops to ask several of Martyr's whereabouts. He receives no words-of-weight, but is instead pointed in the direction of her office. "Where is Mommy," he smiles to Max, building a light game of their 'adventure'. Reaching Martyr's office, Val drops two fingers into the black-denim pockets to fish-out the key she'd given.

The room was empty.

The suspicions grew.

Max Marval

Date: 2013-02-03 03:50 EST
"Mommy?" Max would softly call out, excited for the game, but less excited for the anti-climactic ending" She wiggled free from her father's arms, toddling her way behind the desk, half-expecting her mother to jump out and surprise her. Nope, no mommy there, either. With a blink-blink, and a confused look back to her father, she held out her hands beside herself, fingers crawling open as the girl grunted softly in protest. Then, like clockwork, the tippy toddler made her way to the curtains that lined the beds. She checked each and every one of them, before turning back to her father" Frustrations were getting high for the child, her lip pursing, irises spinning, and those thin brows furrowing beneath the rim of the hat.

"Mommy?" A soft whimper as she moved to crawl to her mother's chair. It was then, when she got that scent of her mother" The perfume that she liked"that which smelled of strawberries, that the little thing's eyes began spinning faster than ever. The poor thing froze like she was having a mild seizure, arms stiffened at her sides. "Mommy' Machine" Blood"Slave?" Finally those hands moved to claim her ears, as if trying to block out the noises she heard. "Mommy' Neck" Bite!? The thing yelped.

Val

Date: 2013-02-04 01:53 EST
Val kept at the child's tender little heels as the curious little thing made her frustrating rounds within Martyr's office. Her antics, cute as they were, broke him, an unneeded addition to the roiling paranoia that partnered Martyr's disappearance. He tries to issue soft, supportive smiles to his daughter when those large, adolescent, purple gears look to him with questions upon. The toddler could probably dissect them to find the thin, stringy layers of doubt and superstition he instead felt.

Lungs collapsing, the room tagged with his sighed-signature, Val folds his arms and kicks his heel against the doorbeam.

Where are you....Nazareth....that damnable witch and her wolf servant....too many seek-you-out. I didn't support this decision. I was perfectly content with you being home all day—-not in some close-minded attack at your gender, but because I fear for you. But I couldn't tell you 'no'—-you needed this, but at what cost.

Where are you, my love....



Plunging from the belly of his thoughts, Val's eyes raise and thin-over his daughter's words.

"What's the matter, baby' Mommy what?"

Max Marval

Date: 2013-02-04 02:00 EST
Max's eyes, wide and spinning fast enough to power a small building, stared at the desk. She was silent as she collected those thoughts within that immature dome. "Picture, Max, Daddy!" Pointing at the picture that was set upon the desk. The distraction from the smooth skinned child lasted all but ten seconds, as more thoughts poured into her head. "Mommy....Bloodslave? Mommy with machine....Mean machine!" The little thing held her head as she continued to communicate in some way with her mother, and the unconventional way in question, was to rip the very thoughts from Martyr's head. "Mommy neck bite! Mommy neck bite! Mommy taken...Bye bye..." With all the eerieness of a posessed child, the little girl went on and on.

Val

Date: 2013-02-04 16:00 EST
It was strange. Hell, it was damn strange; but lay your eyes on something normal in this town...a scarier thought. From across the desk, Val kneels to level his eyes, issuing his metered glare at Max's. The curly-headed devil's 'shine' suddenly became less queer. Val had shared such a gift with Martyr before, so why not the life that she had created"

"Max...Max, are you talking to Mommy' Can you hear her" Can she hear you?"

Max Marval

Date: 2013-02-04 17:42 EST
Those dazzling, revolving violets peered up at him. She pursed her lips for a moment, and then averted her eyes. "Nope." The girl answered almost casually. "She no answer....I hear mommy. MOMMY!" Yelling for her as she looked around. Then the thing got an idea, she moved to skip to the beds. She'd forgotten to check underneath, and soon, walking in a bend—awkwardly as ever—she peered beneath each bed. "Nope....No mommy...Aw gone. Aww gone. Mean machine. Bite. Aw gone." The girl said softly, not quite understanding the situation as she moved back to the seat and curled in the chair.

Arthour

Date: 2013-02-05 07:42 EST
At the yelling, there came the sound of running feet heading for the nurses office. Seeing the door open, unlocked. The runner paused for a moment as if they were unsure what action to take....Several moments pass and then there's a sigh and he entered the office with a quick glance about the room. Quickly spotting Val and Max, Arthour cleared his throat,

"Excuse me, but the Nurse isn't in right now, and you shouldn't-"

It took him up to that point to recognise who he was talking too and he blinked,

"Val...Sorry, sorry I didn't recognise you for a moment there. Had a lot on my mind"

Running a hand through his hair for a moment as he considered the letter in his hand, he visibly shook himself and looked at Valcroix

"Martyr didn't come home I take it?"

Val

Date: 2013-02-05 19:18 EST
Mired in the light of Max's clairvoyant communique, along with her peerless and steadfast dedication to leave no cranny unturned, Val's reception of Art is delayed. Fingers fan from the palm as the man's rangy frame takes residence upon Martyr's desk. Pupils tidying the plain surface, the man's mind traverses the promise of superstition and anxiety as it wanders.

A deep breath. No time to rattle the foundation.

"Mean mach—-" Val's crimson bulbs sweep-away from Max's contemplative little face to meet with man with the answers. A strict and pivotal glare dissects him, before a sigh relieves his nerves.

"No, she didn't," to Arthour, eyes scrunched-in-squint. "When's the last time you saw her, Art' And," lending one enlarged eye to Max before returning, "Would you be familiar with....a Vampyric Machine of some kind?" The best qualities he cold assemble, referencing Max's 'Neck bite/Mean Machine' titles.

Arthour

Date: 2013-02-06 05:36 EST
He thought for a moment, leaning against the door frame with a sigh...The fact the Val didn't know where she was didn't bode well,

"Last time I saw her...I think that was with you Val. At the Formal, remember?"

The man's next question as him quirking his head for a moment, glancing towards the little girl as well before returning his white-blue gaze back onto Valcorix, biting his lip and thinking. A Vampyric Machine..." He knew of a few nasty creatures, a few vampires and only of one, very dangerous, one that was currently running amok...But a vampire and machine" Arthour shook his head softly to Val,

"No...I'm afraid I don't. Why do you ask Val" Do you think she's been taken by something like that?"

He'd put two and two together, that day with the new report about the mysterious woman saving a couple's life, the rumours about how Martyr had healed a few of the students. It didn't take a genius to figure out that a vampire would..... He slapped his forehead suddenly and closed his eyes with a groan,

"Oh no.....I might know who has her Val..."

Val

Date: 2013-02-07 17:50 EST
Finally, a sign of life from the old man.

"Well, then out with it man." His tone was trespassing the fields of inpatients; curt and sharp words spat from his thin, white and worried lips. Sanguine gears revolve in his head, practical in their dissection of Art. Later he'd look back and see Arthour was being as helpful as he could be, but the rangy ancient's head hadn't the time to be calm or polite with Martyr out on a wire.

Arthour

Date: 2013-02-08 06:14 EST
"I believe the vampire that has Martyr is called May. At least that's the name she prefers....She's hurt. Near death in fact and mentally unstable. If my suspicions are correct, Martyr has some sort of special healing ability tied into her blood, right?"

Artbour said, still leaning against the door frame and watching Val. He understood Val's attitude and wasn't taking it personally. Not waiting for the men to answer, he carried on,

"May won't, I don't think, be fully healed. Not even by Martyr. May's heart has shards of a crystal in it, this type of crystal is the only thing that's able to do her any real harm. What I'm saying Val, is that May won't kill her. Not when she realises what her blood can do, until May can do something about her heart, she won't harm Martyr......Any more than she has to in order to keep herself alive.'

Aviana Slane

An axe in hand, which, might have came off a bit...scary, Aviana stormed into the nurse's office. "Where is she?!" The girl asked with a growl. There was no real ill-intent toward her sister this time, the hellion was only looking to speak to her. Still, Martyr was nowhere to be found, and that made the little nightmare furious. Her hands clutched tightly to the shaft of the axe, fingers attempting to mold the metal to her will.



"Dammit...I try to make ammends with that stupid girl, and she's nowhere to be found....I oughta smash her head with my axe....OH WAIT!" Continuing on with her lone rant. "She'd just grow it back because she's Martyr and she's perfect....Sheesh it's enough to make a girl sick!" A stamp of her little foot made no impression on the floor, which only angered her more and left her stomping over and over again.

Martyr

Date: 2013-03-30 05:58 EST
Nodding to answer her questions of laying down Max and blanket fetchings—then more nods to her statements."I'm n-not always early..." Martyr admitted. "It's usually j-just a b-battle of g-getting this one out of b-bed and g-getting her t-to eat, and b-be ready.." Her voice was low as to not wake the sleeping child which hung so limply in her arms. Though neither of them needed to worry—when the baby decided to sleep, she slept like a rock. Slowly, she eased her way to the bed, bending her entire form forwards to lower the snoozing little child onto the mattress a single hand supporting her head—otherwise Martyr feared that her head might roll from her shoulders.

"O-oh, and y-you d-did f-fine M-maricara....Y-you r-really d-don't have t-to w-work so hard....I w-wouldn't be m-mad if y-you slept in every once in a w-while." Martyr assured her personal assistant with a nod of her head. "B-but let m-me help y-you p-put those away." Eyes closing slightly within the warm smile that threatened to touch them. Soon, the immortal was moving for the wagon to help the woman. Because hey, what else did she have to do at the moment?

((Sorry, I've been super lazy with the forums lately! I'mma get back on the ball though!))

Katan

Date: 2013-04-10 08:08 EST
Never one to be pointlessly early, Katan stepped up to the Bristle Crios Nurse's Office at exactly eight o'clock. He had originally located the door about ten minutes ago, so the American had wisely spent those last minutes wandering the halls and playing games on his smartphone. Now that it was officially time for work, Katan took a deep breath in. Blue-grays darted down to his clothing. It had been harder than he thought it would be to dress casual for his new job. His upper half was clad in a long-sleeve black and gray plaid shirt. A standard pair of blue jeans was what Katan had picked out for his lower half. It was weird, not having to pretend that he was some fancyass waiter, but Katan loved it. Martyr was easily going to be the coolest boss that he had ever had. The man's hand balled up into a fist, and he gave three hard knocks on the door. Hopefully the immortal would give him that doctor's coat he had been dreaming of. Then maybe the kids would be able to take him somewhat seriously.

Cheeks puffed on out at the sound of the fists upon the door. Momma was unhappy now..! When Max woke up and sent off to daycare, that Katan was going to get a good talking-to....Which more than likely meant, he was in store for a guilt-trip of the adorable variety....It was true, Martyr was not good at yelling. Eyes shifted to the toddler, who had just barely stirred, rolling over and popping that diapered butt into the air. It drew a smile across Martyr's still-puffed cheeks. Martyr had absolutely no problem with letting the child run around like a chicken with her head cut-off, but the more she slept in the morning, meant the less of a nap she'd want—which in turn, meant Martyr could get the most amount of sleep at night. A happy boss was a good one, not that we're singling anyone out...Katan.

"Hello, K-katan," Martyr began. Sorry, no doctor jacket today—but remind her later and she'll pick one up for him! She's many things, but unfortunately—without a blood bond—she's no mind-reader. "Y-you d-don't sleep?" Martyr asked Maricara with a dumbfounded expression. "B-but sleep is t-the m-most w-wonderful thing in the w-world....O-oh! N-not that I'm r-rubbing it in.."

If anything she could take solace in the fact that the stoner of an assistant she hired would agree with her on the sleep issue.
