4. What is something that they gave one another that has a lot of meaning? ( Ex & Parsh )

“I once gave Parshash this real nice rat skull I found on a guy. He keeps it ‘round his neck! On a necklace!” 

“Excis often finds himself wearing a shirt I gave him, though it remains hidden underneath Noctem’s standard longcoat.”

11. Who loves to pull pranks on the other? What type of pranks do they pull and do they pull their pranks off? ( Carnage & Kuuni )

“Kuuni is typically the one to try to pull pranks. But they never work because she’s an idiot.” Carnage growled. “It’s more of an inconvenience than anything.”

“Bullshit! My pranks are fuckin’ great! You ever set up a fuckin’ pie and bear trap? That shit’s always fucking hilarious!” The cultist cackled, her chair falling back.

[noctem-filler]

8. Who always talks about how amazing their partner is when their partner isn’t there and they just light up with genuine love and happiness? ( Jeb & Aug )

“I love talking about my big bro!” Jebidiah’s normally shy demeanor seemed to reverse. “He’s the greatest guy in the whole world, you know! He’s always so nice to me, and he’s always there to help! Nothing but positive stuff to say!”

Drabble: Bird Bath

Parshash and Excis faded into the castle, the latter breathing heavily. “Y-you okay...Parshash?”

The bird nodded to his partner as they both slumped into a couch in the lounge. Only for their eyes to land on...Kay’van. Who seemed to be filling up what appeared to be...a kiddie pool? 

“Hiii!” She waved to the pair. “Parshash! Bird man! I made you a bird bath! Lookie!” She pointed down at the pool, prompting the pair to look at each other for a moment before their gaze turned back to the vampire.

“I...uh....thanks, Kay’van...” Parshash wasn’t quite sure what to say. Kay’van simply nodded at him and skipped away, leaving the water to keep filling up the pool.

Noctem's Thoughts on: Elreian

Augustus: A more charismatic Crimson Killer, I'm suspecting from his jokes by the library. Likewise, he deserves no sympathy, nor mercy.

Avalora: A superficial charmer who tries to cover up his sadistic and toxic personality with mind control. I don't know any specifics of what he's done, but judging by his ability, I doubt any of it was good.

Beverly: He seems like a nice enough guy, if a bit uppity. I might have to take him out for a drink some time.

Bloodlust: He LOOKS like a nice guy, but something is up! I'm not trusting him for a second!

Carnage: A bounty of only a few thousand at first. But if his crimes came to light, it'd be 20 million. He'll be exposed before he dies.

The Crimson Killer: A nice guy. Has a lot of...similar interests. Gotta work on getting Hecate to let me spend a bit of time with him...

Diana: Seems kind of boring, if you ask me. I don't see any reason to bother talking to him. Just another snobby better-than-you elf. He should kill himself.

Elesh: He gets annoyed really easy. Prissy little elf should have stayed in his nursing home, gods damn.

Excis: I don't like him! Not that he's done anything to warrant it, this time. I just don't have any reason TO like him. Myeh.

Hecate: Gets along too well with my idiot partner. I have nothing to else to say about him.

Jebidiah: He's really nice to me, at least. I don't know why Augustus doesn't like him so much...

Kay'van: He seems really nice! He always helps out when something goes wrong in the kitchen! He thinks my birds are really cool!

Kroom: The spirits are silent on this one. Be wary of him.

Kuuni: Hakkar says he wants him as a fuckin' sacrifice. I'll get around to it, he hasn't pissed me off enough yet to butcher his ass.

The Masked Man: What a stand up guy! Boss-man says he's a really bad dude, but hey, he seems like he'd be a great star! I wonder how his singing voice is...

Mona'zew: Boring and not noteworthy in the slightest. I've read up a bit on his power and it's interesting, but he doesn't seem like the type who can take true advantage of it.

Orizi: I wanna fight him, but he's a mage-type, and that game wouldn't last very long. Seems like he'd be easy to distract anyway, though.

Parshash: He's nice enough. Certainly not worth pursuing as everyone else seems to be...

Trueshot: Kinda creepy some times. I know the shit he's done, but doing anything about it would be too much effort. It's a good thing he can't do anything to me, is all I have to say.

Vira: Past the point of redemption. Hopefully I don't need to use him for long.

Zenmyse: Avalora AND my blade don't really like him. I don't really know, nor care, why.

The Boss: Manipulative.

Elreian: Noctem's certainly interesting. Not what I expected it to be. I regret parts of my decision to join, but it has merits to it.

[noctem-filler]

Noctem's Thoughts on: Diana

Augustus: She has a lack of empathy unlike anything I've seen in my life. And she's so young...I don't know how she's accomplished everything she has.

Avalora: Hell walking on Azeroth. Unpredictable and has zero empathy.

Beverly: My assigned partner, but certainly not my preferred one. It's impossible to know what she's going to do next, and that's not a comforting thought.

Bloodlust: At least Carnage is predictable...I don't know what to do about this...thing.

Carnage: Despite being a mere child, she's amassed a bounty of 13 million gold. I'm considering killing her soon: it's worth the price of betrayal.

The Crimson Killer: I'm not sure if I should be thankful or upset that this one isn't my partner. On one hand, she'd have no problems with the things I do. On the other hand...she's an amoral sociopath.

Elesh: Crazy girl with a temper bigger than the seas, but I bet she'd put on a great party if someone let her!

Elreian: Really fucking annoying. Makes me remember why I don't pick wives anymore. She should have been swallowed instead of conceived. It'd be fun to break her, if I were allowed.

Excis: She's really, REALLY annoying. I can't stand her. She never shuts up, and she doesn't seem to care about ANYTHING.

Hecate: Whatever 'potential' she has is squandered by a lust for blood and an insatiable need for chaos. She'll never accomplish anything noteworthy.

Jebidiah: Augustus says she needs to be put down, and I agree...she hurts animals...

Kay'van: Nice lady! Sometimes she breaks things, though. Her magic is really cool, but she got turned into a plant once. It was funny!

Kroom: Disgusting. Unpredictable. A liability.

Kuuni: Does this bitch EVER shut up? She's constantly fucking barking at people and thinks she's hot shit! She'd make a great sacrifice, at least.

The Masked Man: She's really into showbiz, and that's good! I gotta say, she's pretty fun! Likes explosions and songs as much as I do!

Mona'zew: Her unpredictable nature is manifested in that ability of hers, Centerfold. If there were a way to control it, she'd make an excellent student...until then, she's just an experiment.

Orizi: Fighting her's a mixed bag. On one hand, she's always changing how she fights. Never the same thing twice. On the other...sometimes it ends too quickly. Always a fun game, though.

Parshash: The definition of chaotic stupid. She's committed quite literally every crime I can think of, and probably more. She seems to act of defiance, rather than purpose. The sooner she's put down, the better.

Trueshot: Bit too wild for my taste. Trying to keep her out of my room, she always leaves a mess and makes loud noises.

Vira: For a 14-year old, she has a long history. There's not a single crime she hasn't committed. She needs to die before she starts breaking OUR rules. Fortunately, due to being a self-made orphan, nobody should miss her when she's gone...

Zenmyse: Absolute nutcase. Complete chaos 24/7. Even I have limits, you know?

The Boss: Unpredictable.

Diana: I'm pretty much the best fuckin' person in this stupid organization. If they'd let me out more, maybe they'd actually get these jobs done.

[noctem-filler]

Noctem's Thoughts on: The Crimson Killer

Augustus: A murderer and a pedophile. When we finally escape this prison of an organization, I'll make sure he gets what he deserves.

Avalora: I'm bound by the rules not to kill him. Otherwise, he'd spend an eternity in the Echoes dreamscape.

Beverly: He deserves every beating Hecate gives him, the sick monster.

Bloodlust: I avoid him when I can. If there's anyone in Noctem I absolutely can't trust, it's *him*.

Carnage: His bounty is over 6 million. Nobody would care if I turned him in.

Diana: He's. So. Cool!

Elesh: I'm really glad Hecate is there behind him, because if she weren't, he'd seriously hurt someone. Fucking scumbag.

Elreian: A cool enough guy. Couldn't get a willing woman if he tried, though, which is fortunate. I would have liked to know him when he was alive. ...Gods, I hope I don't turn out like that...

Excis: He deserves everything that's coming to him. I'd kill him myself if I were allowed to!

Hecate: An annoying waste of space. He constantly wastes time on our missions trying to fuck girls or murder innocents. He clearly wasn't beaten enough as a kid. Fortunately, I can make up for it.

Jebidiah: Augustus says to stay far away from him. I don't like how he looks at me...

Kay'van: He's a bad guy! But I'm told I gotta take care of him anyway, so I do what I can, I guess. But it's no fun.

Kroom: Waste of space.

Kuuni: Hakkar says he's not even fucking worth it. But I'm tempted to kill him anyway, for some reason.

The Masked Man: He always smells weird. Not like the Undead smell weird. Just, weird. Oh well. He signed up to be in the musical, so, gotta work with it! The show must go on!

Mona'zew: Despicable. But his poisons are fascinating. I must learn how to recreate Purple Haze and Stone Free before he inevitably gets himself killed.

Orizi: Dangerous fighter when he's not playing with me. Apparently, Superfly makes me immune to Purple Haze. A shame, he seemed like he'd be a fun one..

Parshash: The crimes he's committed make me sick to my stomach. He'll pay for them soon, even if I can't do much about it now.

Trueshot: I'm glad he ain't MY partner. Dude's a psycho.

Vira: Depraved and needlessly cruel, but required. Fortunately, it won't be long before he's outlived his usefulness.

Zenmyse: Huh? Who?

The Boss: Disposable.

The Crimson Killer: Man, everyone here is such a bore. Why did they bother recruiting me if they don't want to let me do what I need to do, though?

[noctem-filler]

Noctem's Thoughts on: Carnage

Augustus: A terrifying monster through and through. Keep Jebidiah away from him, no matter what.

Avalora: Seems to measure a person's worth through their bounty size. His mix between strength and apathy makes me fear being in the same room as him.

Beverly: Impossibly strong. I don't plan on ever fighting him.

Bloodlust: He looks at me like a dog looks at steak...is that what I am to him? I don't trust those eyes...

The Crimson Killer: When I look in his eyes, I see a man who doesn't see murder as a time killer, but as a job. His apathy scares me in a way I didn't know anything could.

Diana: I'm staying as far away from that fucker as I can. I never thought I'd say this, but...I'm scared.

Elesh: Ech. Guy's a loser. It's all about coin with him. I'm pretty sure he'd kill everyone here if he thought he could take us all on at once.

Elreian: I know better than to fuck with this guy, and everyone else seems to feel similarly. Motivated by gold, which I can respect, but why bother when you can get whatever you want with barely any effort?

Excis: I don't even like being in the same room as this guy. I'm glad the Boss has never sent me on a mission with him. I don't think I'd survive the trip.

Hecate: Until Kuuni, he'd been known to kill every partner he's ever had. Motivated solely by gold, I'm pretty sure he could take everyone in here on and make it out alive.

Jebidiah: He's terrifying...I can't believe he's mortal, I just can't...

Kay'van: Something about him brings up a feeling I didn't even know I had. I'll kill myself before I end up alone with him.

Kuuni: Haha! The Bloodthirsty Duo is unstoppable! No one can ever take us down!

The Masked Man: When I joined Noctem, a voice in my head told me only one thing: Stay away from him.

Mona'zew: Nothing scares me more than a fight with him. I don't know how any sane person would willingly fight beside him. Perhaps that's why he was paired up with Kuuni...

Orizi: Never again.

Parshash: A monster that can't be stopped. He has many names. The Dreaded. The Beast of Suramar. The Terror. Genocider. Mad Dog. The King of Atrocity. The only thing on his mind seems to be money. I can't begin to fathom how anyone will defeat him.

Trueshot: It's a good thing he doesn't notice me. I'd be scared shitless if he cared enough to fight me.

Vira: The way he talks to me implies he knows as much as Mulkork does...but then why doesn't he do anything? He only seems to care about money. He's even aware of Cessabia's time loops, and knows a couple things about the Boss. I need to make sure she doesn't find out. I can't kill him yet.

Zenmyse: Even Ridin' the Storm Out couldn't help me in a fight against this guy...I don't know how he does it, but I know one thing's for sure. I ain't fighting him ever again.

The Boss: Dangerous.

Carnage: If Hell runs on money, I'm certain that I'll be fine. I only remain in this organization because Vira says I can claim these bounties soon. She better not be lying.

[noctem-filler]

Noctem's Thoughts on: Bloodlust

Augustus: A troubled man. He seems impossible to gain the trust of. Though, in an organization like this, perhaps that's a good thing.

Avalora: Very distant. I try to be kind to him when I see him. I suspect someone has wronged him in the past.

Beverly: Strong, but nervous. Doesn't seem much for conversation, unfortunately.

Carnage: Worth 2.4 mil. Stairway to Heaven will make him difficult to turn in when the time comes.

The Crimson Killer: He doesn't talk to me, selfish prick. Only seems to hang around that bloodsucker. But the shyness turns me on.

Diana: Too shy to talk to people. But I would be too if I were trash.

Elesh: This guy doesn't trust ANYONE! Not even me! I'm like, the most trustworthy person I know! What the heck?!

Elreian: Something's certainly wrong with him, be it a disorder or previous drug use. I'm tempted to take a look and see if I can fix anything.

Excis: Tried to be drinking buddies with him, but he seemed reluctant to even leave the castle without that vampire with him. There goes that.

Hecate: Shy, but strong. I'm interested in seeing what happens when I use Walk This Way on him when Stairway to Heaven is active, but perhaps it's too dangerous to test.

Jebidiah: Doesn't like to talk to people, but can you blame him? Though he doesn't seem to want to leave Noctem...

Kay'van: Bestie! He's so sweet! But I don't understand why he won't put himself out there. He could make so many friends!

Kuuni: Hakkar says he's fuckin' worthless. The goddamn ability he has means I can't sacrifice him. I'll just fucking ignore him, then.

The Masked Man: A shame I couldn't get him to join Noctem: The Musical. I think he has real bad stage fright.

Mona'zew: He has an extraordinary ability, Stairway to Heaven. But it would seem every use costs him his life. I'm interested in seeing if I can create a similar power that doesn't destroy the body...

Orizi: Puts up a damn good fight. I barely got out of that, but with my clones, I lasted about eight minutes and won the game, hehe.

Parshash: From the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be in Noctem willingly. Judging by the time he spends with that vampire, it seems there's only one reason he hasn't killed himself.

Sajei: He don't like bein' around no one! And I can't even fathom why. What'd we even do to scare 'im off?

Trueshot: Dude puts some effort into avoiding people. Like, damn. I'd say he needs to break out of his shell a bit, but, hey, I'm still not out of bed.

Vira: He's gone through at least 30 different bodies, with his resurrections after using Stairway to Heaven. Finding a way to permanently put him down will be difficult, but not as hard as lasting eight minutes in the ring with him...

Zenmyse: Hehe, he's pretty strong. But I really only get to see him when Kay'van's around. Why's he so damn scared?

The Boss: Paranoid.

Bloodlust: I don't wanna be here, but I haven' anywhere else to go. I don't trust no one here, except Kay'van. No reason to...

[noctem-filler]

Noctem's Thoughts on: Beverly

Augustus: Good-mannered and kind to others. That axe, Tusk, however seems to take a toll on him. I need to convince him to be rid of it.

Avalora: Like Zenmyse, he uses one of the nine legendary blades. He's nice and formal, and works very hard. But his undying loyalty to Noctem is a problem, with how things seem to be around here.

Bloodlust: I don't like bein' around him. He says his axe talks to him. I think he's crazy. Don't trust a word he says.

Carnage: The bounty on his head is worth 3 mil. Claim it as soon as possible.

The Crimson Killer: Wish I had strength like that. There's not a woman who could get away from me if I had it...or the axe.

Diana: My badass partner in crime! He's too merciful sometimes, but, he's pretty cool all around. That axe of his makes him look super badass when he gets pissed off. He's supportive and cool! He's like the dad I never killed!

Elesh: Really cool dude. Sick axe. Doesn't seem to hate anything, which is different. I wish we had more time to hang out.

Elreian: A gentleman and an honorable fighter. I feel bad he has to deal with that demon spawn named Diana.

Excis: He's pretty nice, actually. I like that cool axe of his, though it whispers to me when I get near it. Parshash says stay away.

Hecate: A part of the original Noctem. I don't know how he's lived this long, but he's definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Jebidiah: Big and scary, but Augustus says he's a softy deep down..Maybe I should try talking to him, but...I don't know...

Kay'van: Cool axe guy! People say he's old, but his skin doesn't look that wrinkly. He joined my tea party, though! So he's definitely trustworthy!

Kroom: Strong willed and strong bodied, like the earth.

Kuuni: Hakkar says he'd be a worthy opponent, but I fuckin' doubt that. He's gotta listen to what some fake fuckin' ghost tells him to do. Can you fucking believe that shit?

The Masked Man: Not much of a singer, sadly. But he's a funny guy! I like that cool axe of his. Kinda want one of my own!

Mona'zew: He wields one of the nine legendary blades, so I try to avoid pissing him off. That being said, he's definitely worth investigating.

Orizi: This is a guy who knows how to fight! Challenged him once, and it went on for hours! Good shit, honestly.

Parshash: Honorable and courageous, but that weapon of his is dangerous. More to himself than his enemies. I'd confiscate it if I had the authority.

Sajei: Ay mon, he's aight. He don't like gettin' close to no one here, though. Not sure why.

Trueshot: Old guy's been here since the beginning. Dunno how he's had the motivation to stick around that long but hey, that's his deal, not mine.

Vira: I met him before I joined Noctem. He's a nice man and deserving of praise. I know it's not what Clay wants, but I'm going to spare him.

Zenmyse: He's got a blade too, interesting. He's an amiable guy, but a bit too direct when fighting. But it seems like he can afford it.

The Boss: Strong.

Beverly: Leadership may not be agreeable, but Noctem is my home. I'll serve until the day I die. I vow to ensure things change before that day comes, however.

[noctem-filler]

Noctem's Thoughts on: Avalora

Augustus: The serial killer who plagued Westfall for several years. If I weren't bound by a code not to kill anyone, I'd already have my revenge.

Beverly: He's a terrifying mix between cold and efficient. Shows no mercy. Dangerous eyes, but they seem to hurt him whenever he uses them somehow.

Bloodlust: I don't trust those eyes. Kay'van says he's nice enough, but I don't care.

Carnage: With his murders coming to light, he has a high bounty on his head. 4 million gold.

The Crimson Killer: Trapped me in that dimension of his once. Didn't like it one bit. He said it was a fitting punishment for what I did to that girl, but what does he know? She was asking for it!

Diana: At least I'm open about the shit I do. This fucker tried to cover everything up and pretend like he was a nice guy. Fuck him.

Elesh: Charismatic as fuuuuuck. I could get lost in his eyes forever...

Elreian: Nice enough guy. Good looking. I'd hate to admit it, I'm crazy nervous around him. I want a chance to show him a good time.

Excis: Even though he's a bloody serial killer, Parshash likes him. He approached me a couple times and...well, yeah, he's okay.

Hecate: He's smart. He's powerful. He's sexy. Above all, though, he's perceptive. I don't know how I feel about him.

Jebidiah: Scary...Big Bro doesn't like him. But he's really nice to me and everyone else, so I don't see why I can't try to be his friend. He seems really lonely...

Kay'van: I like him! He looks serious, but he's not afraid to have fun, like everyone else. He helped me with my tea party!

Kroom: Keen eyes. Strong grip.

Kuuni: I dunno what the deal is with those fuckin' eyes, but Hakkar says he'd be a good fuckin' sacrifice. Gotta admit, I'm fuckin' tempted despite these fucking rules.

The Masked Man: He's not afraid to have fun! He's even sung a duet with me! Great guy, I don't know why Mon'y is so obsessed with those eyes, though.

Mona'zew: An efficient illusionist and pyromancer. I thought being a Lich would keep me safe from Echoes, but that isn't the case. I must do research on these eyes...

Orizi: Tried fighting him, but he doesn't really like to play. Glad he's not my partner, he seems to want the job done too quick.

Parshash: I'd believed him to be a good man, until I found out about the murders. I can see how he got away for so long, but if I weren't working with him, I'd put him down.

Sajei: Nice and polite, but he clearly doesn't like me. I dunno why, I like to think I'm pretty cool.

Trueshot: He's a nice guy, but he's always out and about. Dunno how he finds the motivation.

Vira: He's a great guy to hang out with, though he can be awkward sometimes. I'm reluctant to kill him, because he'd actually be better if he were in Mèlionae or the Accord. But it's what Mulkork says needs to happen.

Zenmyse: My partner and best friend. He loves telling jokes and puts my needs before his own. He's nice to everyone, but I worry about his eyesight. That power drains a lot from him.

The Boss: Perceptive.

Avalora: I just want what's best for this world.

[noctem-filler]

Noctem's Thoughts on: Augustus

Avalora: He's rather kind. I enjoy spending time around him. One of the few members who doesn't seem to be in here willingly.

Beverly: A good man to work with. He spares innocents and tries to help where he can. Above all, a team player, and doesn't let missions fail.

Bloodlust: I don't trust him with that gun, knowing what he can do. Not one bit.

Carnage: A powerful ability, that telekinesis of his. I'd expected a high bounty on him, but his only crimes are due to his association with Noctem. It'd be hypocritical to turn him in. It's only 1.5 mil anyway.

The Crimson Killer: Shot me a few times on missions. I get enough of that shit from Hecate. I'd poison him with Stone Free if Vira didn't say he was so fuckin' useful.

Diana: His 'holier-than-thou' attitude pisses me off. Someone should molest him so he grows up a little.

Elesh: He's a nice guy, if a little overprotective of Jeb. Gotta let your bro experience shit! He's got a good eye, but s'kinda a bore.

Elreian: Quiet kid. Pretty serious. Easy to creep out, heh.

Excis: Too quiet. Don't talk to no one but that whimpy brother of his. I could take him in a fight.

Hecate: He's far more tolerable than my partner. If I didn't expect him to rape Jebidiah, I'd ask to trade the Crimson Killer for him.

Jebidiah: Big Bro's always looking out for me. I love him. Wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. He promised we'll get out of this. I just have to have faith in him.

Kay'van: His hair feels funny! He's really nice to me! I like him a lot! He loves to cook with me!

Kuuni: Stupid son of a bitch things he can tell me how MY religion works. Hakkar says he'd make a great fuckin' sacrifice, but I'm not allowed to fuckin' kill other members.

The Masked Man: Fantastic guy! I love him! Not much of a singer, though. Apparently, his ability takes the 'point' out of root-and-tooty point-and-shooty, so I don't wanna fight him.

Mona'zew: Would make a good student if he weren't so quiet. And disgusted with me.

Orizi: He could put up a long fight, I know it. Hehe, I might challenge him to spar. Don't like his style though. He's efficient, but too quick to finish the job. Doesn't understand how fun a game of cat-and-mouse could be.

Parshash: A respectable young man. I expect him to turn out to be something great in the future!

Sajei: Total buzzkill, mon. He makes everything real borin', and is a huge rules stickler. Always has been. Plus he don't let no one talk to Jebidiah! I tink we be good people for his bro to chat with!

Trueshot: Cool dude. Showed me a nice firing range a couple times. He's kinda cute, too. I wonder if he's seeing anyone...

Vira: One of the few people in here I don't need to keep an eye on. I might recruit him in the Modern Men after I kill Carnage.

Zenmyse: He's smarter than he looks. Doesn't seem to like to talk to any of the newer members. Glad he likes me, though. That gun is pretty cool, hehe. Wonder if he'd teach me how to use it...

The Boss: Nosy.

Augustus: I'm too far into this to just leave. But while I'm here, I can try my best to not soil the reputation of a once-good organization.

[noctem-filler]

One Off: Scones

“Fuck, I’m starving.” The annoyed voice of the religious nut, Kuuni the Pandaren, piped up as the remaining members of Noctem were still seated after a meeting with Vira, the Shal’dorei member the Boss preferred to use as her ‘public face’, delivering messages to the group.  “Then why don’t you get something to, idiot? The meeting’s over.” The Kal’dorei Worgen seated across from her, Carnage, growled. He refused to look up at his partner, busy counting at the gold gathered from his most recent bounty.

“I don’t wanna fucking get up, Carnage. Jeez, fucking think every once in a while.” “Your laziness falls on deaf ears, I’m afraid, when you’re seating so close to that one.” The silver-haired Quel’dorei, Hecate, pointed a finger at the huntress, Trueshot, who had already fallen asleep, and was drooling on the table. 

The Pandaren rolled her eyes, grumbling as she got up from her seat. “Can’t believe I have to fucking get out of MY chair just to get some fucking food because you asshats are too fucking lazy.”

As she wanders over to the counter, Augustus passes her by, running his fingers through his short blonde hair. “You know, you need only ask, I’m eager to cook something up,” the human let out an annoyed sigh. “And you needn’t be so loud. Jebidiah has a headache, you know.”

Kuuni rolled her eyes she stood at the counter, realizing...she doesn’t actually know how to make anything. She turns to Augustus with a scowl on her face. “Well fine. Fucking make something, then.” 

“Alright, alright. Just calm down.” Augustus chuckled and went off to make food for the bitchy Pandaren.

Kuuni turned back to the table and sat down, listening to the conversations of the others at the table. 

“I really don’t see why anything’s gotta change.” A Dwarf grumbled, head rested on one of his hands. “I think sleeping arrangements are just fine.”

Hecate scoffed at the balding Wildhammer. “You only say that because you like rooming with the bird. I’d trade anything to not have the Crimson Killer anywhere near me.”

Trueshot raised her head. “Yeeeah, I dunno. Orizi’s pretty good to have around, to be honest.”

“That’s because you like having her clean your room for you, Trueshot.” Avalora shook his head. 

“Well yeah. I’m not gonna do it myself.”

Augustus brought set down a platter. With scones and some tea. “Here you go. Something to hold you off until dinner.” He gave a small smile to Kuuni before heading out of the room, his blue-haired brother following close behind him.

Avalora smiled and went to take one, though Kuuni smacked his hand. “Fuckin’ hell, Ave?! They’re for ME, you fucker!” She snatched a scone and bit into it, only to spit it out immediately. “Ech! The fuck? The hell IS this shit?!”

“It’s a scone, Kuuni.” 

“The fuck did you just say?”

“A scone.”

“It’s fucking terrible!”

“You asked for food, didn’t you?”

“Well yeah, bu-”

“Beggars can’t be choosers, Kuuni.” Hecate interrupted, her grin widening. 

And with that, the Pandaren grumbled and stormed out the room, throwing a chair to the side. Carnage sighed, bowed his head to the group, and followed her out.

“Look at these sons of bitches...not even taking this shit seriously....stupid fuckers...” Kuuni grumbled.

“Calm down, idiot.” Carnage helped the Pandaren stand up. “Just actually land your hits this time. We’re ending this.”

“Yeah, whatever. This fucking target better please Lord Hakker, you understand?” She glared at both Bella and Mitz, eagerly holding her scythe up to start her assault again.

Carnage scowled and stood, waiting for them to charge at him, and immediately sent an uppercut Bella’s way, while Kuuni tried to catch Mitz’s axe with her scythe, though clearly, she didn’t have nearly the strength as her Worgen partner.

Kuuni flew back, a new large hole in her torso. The Pandaren landed in a tree, her scythe dropping to the ground. The groan she let out this time definitely wasn’t pleasurable, showing actual signs of pain. 

Carnage scowled, bolting over to the panda. “Idiot! I told you he could do that, didn’t I?! Why don’t you ever listen to me, you moron?”

Kuuni flew back, rolling in the grass and staying down for a few moments. She simply...lay there for a bit. Eventually...she started to snicker. Then..giggle. Then chuckle. Then flat out break into laughter. And after a bit it just turned into..maniacal cackling. The crazed cultist jumped back to her feet, eagerly charging back at the elf with bloodlust in her eyes, raising her scythe up as she got close. “YES! THIS IS PERFECT! You’re just the kind of opponent Lord Hakkar wanted me to send his way.”

Carnage took the swing again and sent a kick Mitz’s way, should it connect, it’d find itself even stronger than his last hit.
