Your name is William. You currently have the luxury of sitting in the nicest bed you’ve ever seen, along with Morrigan. Morrigan is your boss, though she’s also a whole lot more than that at the same time. She talks to you, listens to you and you keep each other safe and alive on missions. You like Morrigan quite a bit, even if she does act strange sometimes.

Like right now. Is there anything you want to talk about? You don’t usually talk much in the first place, though you’ve been getting chattier. Well, a bit, you still don’t talk anywhere near as much as Nem or Bellona can. Still she asked, even if she does look a bit red and isn’t quite looking at you.

“Uhm…” you say to her, “My dreams were better after we went to sleep again.”

This seems to be the wrong answer as Morrigan closes her eyes and lets out a sigh.

“That… that’s good Will,” she says to you, “Anything else?”
>>
>>48972595
You think. What else was there?

“I had a little trouble this morning,” you say to her, “My penis was acting funny.”

This causes Morrigan to flush, though she seems to relax a bit at the same time.

“Was that the first time something like that happened Will?” she asks you.

You pause, trying to think.

>Yes.
>No.
>Error, Will.exe must reboot.
>Other.
>>
>Error. Will needs reboot
"I don't remember my dreams but there was something soft."

Will isn't excessively young, just emotionally crippled with regressed growth

Sure, but would Will know that? How far into that medical textbook has he gotten?
>>
>>48972597
>No.
>>
>>48972597
>Yes.

Ok so, equal answers all around!

This is probably not going to be fun for Will.

You stop and think about what Morrigan asked you. You can’t exactly remember if this has happened before. It’s not something you’ve tried to keep track of at the very least. At first you begin to nod your head yes. You probably would remember if something like…

Suddenly visions flash through your head, memories of The Compound. You remember the first time that it happened, in a vague sort of sense at least. You approached one of the adults, thinking that something was wrong with you. Normally you wouldn’t do so, but you had no idea what was going on.

That was the wrong idea.

You received a beating that day the likes of which you’ll never forget. Along with some very long lectures on how you were “Impure”, “Full of Sin” and “Needed to repent.” Over and over again you heard those words, mixed with some more beatings and a few days without food or water.

By the time they were finished with you, you never wanted to think about it again You never did, you never would have except for right now…

You break out in a cold sweat, your hands coming up around your head as you whimper. No, no it didn’t happen, you didn’t, you don’t want to get beaten again!

It doesn’t help one bit that you know you aren’t there, at The Compound. It doesn’t help the Morrigan is right there, already concerned about you and saying something. Words you can’t hear. Are those her hands trying to get you or are they trying to get you again?

As you whimper you fall of the bed, the pain barely noticeable as the screaming fear runs through your head. Quivering terror turns your limbs to jelly as you cry out on the floor.

“Will!” a voice cuts through the terror for a split second.

>No, no you can’t, you can’t do anything.
>Dark terror fills you. You don’t remember anything afterwards.
>The voice… help? Safety?
>Other.
>>
>>48973229
>The voice… help? Safety?
Morg = Safety.

>>48973229

You can’t do much, your muscles are too watery and you probably couldn’t form a coherent thought if you tried. The voice though… the voice cuts through everything long enough for you to know that it’s there. That’s all that matters at this point. There’s something in the world that isn’t out to get you, something that doesn’t want to hurt you, has never hurt you.

You let out a whimper and move closer to the voice as best you can, a few small inches closer. You feel a hand on you, a hand that comes with the voice, whispering things to you softly, things you don’t understand but you can tell are supposed to calm you down. The hands move your head onto something soft, running through your hair.

You don’t know how long you lie there or how long the hand runs through your hair and the voice whispers to you. All you know is that eventually you calm down enough to notice the tears on your face and the fact that your head is propped up in something.

Forcing your head to move, you only get it a few inches before the hand puts up resistance. Morrigan’s face appears over yours, a cigarette leaking smoke from the tip as she looks down at you. Her face is tired looking, but concerned at the same time.

“Hey Will,” she says softly, “just stay there for a minute.”

You nod your head, not having a lot of energy after what just happened.

“Are you ok now?” she asks you. Her hand resumes running through your hair, her fingertips tingling your scalp in a manner that is highly pleasant.

>No, still scared.
>Yes, better now.
>I’m sorry.
>Other.
>>

Your first though isn’t of yourself. You’ve gone through plenty in your life and you generally rebound back. Even if rebounding is simply standing up and getting moving again after someone punched you in the face.

“I’m sorry,” you say to Morrigan. You shouldn’t have… well you shouldn’t have been weak. Weak is not useful. Weak means you might get somebody hurt or do something wrong. The fact that it’s completely out of your ability to control never even enters your mind.

Morrigan’s eyes go wide as you say that, then scrunch up.

“What did you say Will?” she asks you.

“I’m sorry,” you say again. You don’t want to disappoint her. Morrigan and everyone else have been the best to you, so you can’t let them down.

“Don’t be sorry Will,” Morrigan says, her voice suddenly firm, “Remember what I said before?”

“Uhm… which thing?” you say to her. You and Morrigan talk a lot, so it’s not like you can pick out one thing from all that you’ve done.

“The thing about some things that can’t be helped,” she says.

“…Yes,” you say in reply. That was last night, but you still don’t like the idea of not being able to help other people.

“That goes for you too Will,” she says, her eyes locking onto yours.

“What?” you say, not understanding.

“There are some things that happen that nobody can help,” she says, “Things that not even you can stop. So don’t you ever say sorry to me about that. I’ll get mad at you if you do something wrong and could’ve done something else. I won’t get mad about things like that.” She stops and lets out a sigh. “Everybody has something like that. Everybody. So don’t say sorry again.”

>Ok.
>But…

He teased a possibility of HPQ2, so once he gets into a better schedule to run more often, we may get more Karasuba.

You nod to Morrigan. If she says that you can’t do something, then you can’t do it. At least in your experience she’s always been right. This doesn’t seem to pacify her that much though as she keeps her look.

“Do you understand Will?” she asks again.

“Yes,” you say to her, “Don’t say sorry about… that.”

She lets out a sigh.

“Good enough,” she finally says, her hand finally stopping its movement in your hair. “Are you ready for breakfast now?” she asks.

“Yes,” you say. Besides the fact that it is morning and you haven’t eaten yet, your earlier terror left you with a big hole in your stomach. You’re probably not quite all the way better, but hunger and the calming presence of Morrigan certainly helped.

“Ok,” she says, “Then get up, I can’t move until you do.”

You blink and force yourself to sit up, your muscles responding only a tad sluggishly. Turning around you see that your head was resting in Morrigan’s lap, which was why she couldn’t get up. As you stand Morrigan reaches out her hand to you.

“Help me up Will, my legs were starting to go numb from your head,” she says to you.

You nod, reaching out your hand to her and helping pull her to her feet. She has to take an extra step once she’s up, but Morrigan is as tough as always.

“Alright,” she says, letting her cigarette drop into a trash can, “Time for breakfast and then we’ll see what Koko has for us to do.”
>>
>>48975024
You nod and follow Morrigan out of the room and down the elevator. Making your way through the hotel, you still have to marvel at just how… fancy, everything is. You aren’t sure if you like it or not but they sure do have a lot of nice things inside.

Eventually you make your way to the dining room, which is exactly as it sounds. It looks like an even larger version of the train car, with tables set for many people and fancy looking waiters wandering around.

Morrigan spots a table where the rest of MMS seems to be finishing up what looks to be a rather large breakfast. You follow her over, taking a seat next to her and Cath.

“Where were you two?” asks Nem even as she chows down on another piece of bacon.

Morrigan looks over at you, her face questioning.

There's enough best girls out there to make a completely new cast and still be interesting. I still maintain that Revy can be the new violence fetishist with a heart of gold if Karasuba isn't back.

You just nod to her and look through the menu in front of you. You always let Morrigan talk anyway, so it’s not really a big deal for her to do it here. Besides, you need to pick out what you want for breakfast, given that there’s quite a bit to choose from.

Morrigan just shakes her head at Nem as she does the same as you.

“Will and I had a talk,” she says, “Just went a bit longer than I expected.”

“A talk?” Nem says, “About what? It’s not like Will has a lot to say. You probably just slept in late again and he didn’t want to bug you.”

In response to that Morrigan picks up one of the napkins on the table, quickly balls it up and tosses it at Nem’s head.

“Oy,” says Nem playfully, “No need for that when I hit the nail on the head.”

Morrigan just grumbles at her as a waiter comes over to get your orders. You get a bit of everything, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, hash browns and a big glass of milk. Morrigan gets something similar and the waiter moves away to put your orders in.

As you sit back to wait for your meal Cath touches your arm, drawing your eyes to hers.

“Ok?” she asks you, her voice as quiet as always.

You nod to her. Despite what happened before you really are ok. It’s just a bit of being scared to death and all. Not like you were getting beat. Morrigan even told you not to worry about it since you couldn’t do anything.

“So,” says Mary as various foods are finished, “Any idea what Koko has for us today?”

“Nope,” says Morrigan as your food is brought out promptly, “I’m not even sure she will have something for us to do today, she seemed like she needed to set stuff up.”

“So why did she have us go try on some fancy clothes yesterday?” asks Bellona.

“I’m not really sure,” says Morrigan even as she flushes, “for all I know it could’ve just been to see us squirm.”

“Now why would I do that?” asks Koko as she appears seemingly out of nowhere. She only has two guards with her at the moment, both of the very scary ladies.

“Gah!” says Morrigan in surprise as Koko’s hands come down on her shoulders, “Don’t sneak up on me like that.”

“Well you were just talking so much that you didn’t notice, I didn’t mean to!” says Koko with a grin, “But next time I’ll start yelling from across the room.”

“Please don’t,” says Morrigan with a groan.

“Fine fine,” says Koko as she waves her hands, “Anyway I think you were asking what I had for you to do today?”

“That would be nice to know yes,” says Mary, “Given that we haven’t heard anything at all.”

“Well rest assured that you won’t have to do anything very strenuous today,” says Koko, “No firefights or anything like that.”

“That sounds good…” says Bellona, “So what are you having us do?”

“Well I’m going to need you to attend a ball tonight,” says Koko with a smile, “My people will be busy with something else and I need protection.”

Morrigan splutters at this.

“Wait, you’re actually expecting us to wear those in public?!” she asks.

“Of course not!” says Koko in what is clearly mock outrage, “It’s going to be a highly select crowd of individuals, their guards and some entertainers is all. No more than a few hundred all told.”

Morrigan chokes at this, her face starting to turn interesting shades of purple and red.

“Are we going to be armed?” asks Mary.

“Of course you are,” says Koko, “I mean it’s a nice party but I’m not stupid. You’ll have your sidearms on you and I’ll make sure your real gear is nearby if it all goes badly but it shouldn’t. ”

“So we’re pretty muscle then,” says Bellona, a frown on her face.

“And observers,” says Koko, “I’m going to have you keep an eye out for a few individuals.”

“So when does this start?” asks Sarah.

“Ten PM,” says Koko, “So you have most of the day to yourselves. Please try to make sure you’re ready by then and don’t do anything that will get you in trouble.”

“We will,” says Mary, glancing at Morrigan who is finally catching her breath.
“Till then!” says Koko, leaving with her two guards.

“So what do we do now?” asks Nem.

“Well there’s plenty to go see,” says Bellona.

“I need a drink,” Morrigan chokes out.

“I think I’m going to stay in and see what I can learn from Koko,” says Mary.

“Will?” asks Sarah, “What are you going to do?”

>Go see the sights.
>Go with Morrigan.
>Stay with Mary.
>Other.

You ponder your answer for a minute. While you usually spend your time going out with people and drinking, that’s at Fort Riley. There’s not really a whole lot else to do there aside from read, sit and sometimes talk to people. Not that you talk to people a lot.

Everyone has talked about all the stuff you can see around the city though, ever since you learned you were coming here. There’s apparently a big green lady somewhere and you really want to see this “ocean” thing for the first time. Plus you sorta just like learning new things. Sometimes it’s to help people, but also because it’s just nice to know things. You spent a long time not knowing very much, so learning is fun.

“I want to go see things,” you finally say.

“Me too,” says Cath, just loud enough for everyone to hear her.

“Anyone else?” asks Bellona.

“Nah I’m going to go with Morrigan and keep her out of trouble,” says Nem.

“That’ll be the day,” says Mary.

“Yeah yeah,” says Morrigan, “We’ll behave mom.”

“I’m going to stay with Mary,” says Sarah, “I’ve seen the sights before anyway.”

“Alright,” says Bellona, looking to you and Cath, “So should we get ready then? We’ll need to get back in time to get ready for the ball and there’s a lot to go see.”

Cath nods and you do too. You manage to finish up your meal relatively quickly and then the three of you get ready to head out for your day out in New York.
