[ kat books it down the hall the moment that gus opens the door, slamming open the round table room doors and staring in horror at the dead raptor, etc. ] ... Oh my god. [ she goes totally pale with guilt, her eyes darting around for the kiddos immediately. ] Oh my god.

[isisagent]

[Covered in blood (Most of it from the raptors) and little chunks of raptor, Archer storms in.]

I really thought our security was better than this.

[slay]

[ In rushes probably the last person anyone expected to see, Buffy Summers, at Kat's side in a hurry because she looks the worst. Admittedly, Buffy herself doesn't look too great at 100/220 after fighting a dragon and three raptors. She's definitely seen better days, and she's actively bleeding. But when she takes a look around, she realizes that ... Kat's not the only one. ]

They got in. [ As Kat did, Buffy counts babies, then lets out a breath of relief when she realizes they're okay. ] Is everyone okay?

[druidisms]

[ and once everyone else is in, gus follows, lightning crackling in his palm that his quenches in a fist once he is certain the threat has been dealt with. jfc there are like forty dogs in here. once he sees felicity's head poking out under the table, he crosses the room to crouch next to her, brushing a hand over lucia's downy soft baby hair. ]

You look like fucking shit, Lissie. [ and gus will boost the rest of her hp with a cure light wounds for her for +11 hp. he will always waste his last cure spell on his baby. this is why he's not a real cleric. ]

[mydesigns]

We are now. [takes of his glasses to clean the blood off of them. everything is oooookay.]

[witchwoman]

I think so... [Myri says, but her face twists in discomfort as the pain from those around her starts to creep past the defenses she's put up in her mind. She's too close to Buffy and Kat to ignore that sort of damage, so she rapid fire casts her two Mass Cure Critical Wounds on the entire group. She can get up to 15 people so I think she's good to get everyone who might need it. 39 HP for the first one and 40 HP for the second.]

Is it..? Are there more coming?

[allmydreams]

[She glances up at him as she eases herself and Lucia out from under the table. She's grateful for the boost in hit points, but that's not going to save her clothes from being covered in blood.

Or the fact that Gus does not believe in sugar coating. She'll give him a soft look before shaking her head.]

Charming as ever.

[But one hand will reach out to squeeze his, a silent "thank you for coming."]

[somepagesturn]

[Henley's pretty good now and he licks Paige's face as she drops down on her knees to hug him.] Oh, you stupid lug, you had me scared half to death. Don't you dare do that again. [she laughs as he continues to assault her with giant doggeh kisses, frowning when she looks up at the newcomers.] Is it over? Are we still under attack? Goodness gracious, do they still need healers out there?

[romanticidal]

[ rafael lowers his guns and moves towards Buffy, looking over her bloody state as well with concern ] Carina... [ his anxiety is quickly overrun by his confusion however ] How did you return so quickly?

[druidisms]

[ he looks at felicity like dude, you're covered in blood, i'm just saying. ]

Something brought down the front of the castle. [ he did not get far enough down the hall to verify what, okay. he was busy. ] Robot mages attacked the Dragon's Fire wing, there was a dragon setting the library on fire. Some of the injured went to the dungeons for safety. [ annnnnnnnnd that's about all the cliff notes, second hand information gus actually has. ur welcome. ]

Uh, Will Graham, your girlfriend is looking for you.

[slay]

[ Moving toward her is all Rafael has to do to get arms flung around his shoulders as she pulls him into a hug, looking much better (but still rather battered) after Myri's spells. ]

We heard Sarandis' message, and there were angels helping clear the devastation in London from those mechanical dragons he tried to distract us with. When they warned me there were demons around the castle, I hitched a ride. Turns out Des had it handled, but ...

[ She turns to look at Myri because this will mean just as much to her. ] The Mind Master got to Lazarus first. And no one can find Elena.

[witchwoman]

[Myri pales instantly.]

What? What happened to her?

[Lazarus is v important, yes, but... Elena. Myri looks like she might be sick.]

[somepagesturn]

[Paige just sits there and mouths "Mind Master" and looks at Will, like "what kind of insane person supervillain name is that shit???"]

[byrned]

So can we do anything? Can we help? [ not that he thinks he'd be the best of anyone for that job, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to try ]

[mydesigns]

[will raises his eyebrows back at paige which is basically as much of an "ikr????" as she's ever going to get from him.

also he addresses gus.]

So Alice is all right?

[druidisms]

[ he nods at will. ] She's with Alanna and Groot. Safe as she can be under the circumstances, didn't seem too hurt.

[witchwoman]

[Myri looks to Matt, her mouth opening and closing as she tries to think of how to even begin to explain just how fucked they are if the Mind Master is coming and goes as she pleases.]

If Buffy is here, I can only assume that means the Mind Master is gone, or at least her whereabouts are unknown. We have to find Elena. If Sarandis has her...

[As someone who experienced that man's torture first hand, she's not at all okay with Elena's ending up in his captivity.]

...Do we know if it's safe enough to bring the girls out of here?

[allmydreams]

[Felicity is all for trying to find Elena, but Myri has a point about the babies. She cradles Lucia gently in her arms for a moment, before glancing back to Buffy, given she seems to have the most information at the moment.]

Are Vi and Faith heading here?

[moonheart]

We're here! [ in fact, they follow the others in a few moments later, having finished scaling the colossus ] Is everyone ok?

[romanticidal]

[ rafael looks uncomfortable at buffy revealing the involvement of angels and demons in all this, but nods to her, accepting it. his girlfriend hunts demons all the time, it's not really... that weird for him anymore. ] Everyone is alive. [ that's what matters. ] Are they still coming?

[graveflowers]

[ vi comes hurrying after faith, soaked in blood and cutting a path directly to her daughter, scooping her out of felicity's arms and peppering her little face with kisses while lucia expertly fusses as if upset by mommy's sudden affinity for red and pennies and feeding off the anxiety that raphael had mostly quashed. ] Oh, Momma's fine, shh. It's alright, Glowbug, I'm not going anywhere.

[ she doesn't think anyone will blame her for ignoring everyone else in favor of her daughter who quiets when vi lets her touch the orb still clutched in one hand as she murmurs comforting words to her in elvish, even if lucia abandons it quickly to try to pat vi's face clean with her stuffed bunny's ears. she's going to take a moment to hold on to the most wonderful thing that remains in her life after watching lazarus ripped from it. ]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity gives Lucia up without a fight, relieved that Vi is alright, but incredibly concerned with the extreme amount of blood she happens to be wearing. She'll mostly just hover to the side, however, keeping an eye out for any sign of trouble, despite the fact that she doesn't have a gun right now.]

[scorekeeper]

[ Meanwhile, Doyle's still over here stuck on Mindmaster himself, who chooses such a name? ]

[slay]

[ To Myri, Buffy quietly answers (finally): ] I don't know, but ... [ She nods to Vi. ] She might. She was there.

[isisagent]

[Archer slumps against the wall and takes a deep breath. He wipes some of the gore off his slightly darker black suit, and pulls out his flask. Now is the time for alcohol.]

We should really start keeping a tracking device on Elena.
