Neon sighed. She patted him on the thigh, and said, "I didn't have any choice in coming back. I told you that. I'll have to leave as soon as possible." Jave asked again urgently, "Why? Dammit,girl! Don't cut me out like that!" He looked her in the eye. "I KNOW why. I see it in your eyes, Neon. It's the Madjulla woman, isn't it? Isn't it?" She looked away and froze up. He leaned close and slid his hand up her back. He whispered intently, "I'll protect you if she threatened you." She looked back at him with infinite sadness in her eyes and whispered, "You'd die trying. She'd pull out your spine and beat you to death while you screamed. I've seen her in action. She...she is a monster. A demon. My presense threatens her 'divinity'." He snorted. "Ha! If little old YOU is a threat...Toxic is the real deal, then. Madjulla, or whoever she really is never RAISED the freaking DEAD! Toxic did! I saw it. My dad saw it! Ganz saw it! A whole crowd of folks saw it! She must be the real deal, if there is any divinity to the whole 'Madjulla' thing at this point!" Neon started in surprise. "Ohhhhhhhh SHIT! I just now--I...Madjulla will come after Toxic. Here. Probably not tonight, but as soon as she hears. The morning will be...bad. Very bad. Madjulla might kill Toxic to prove her 'Divine right'. Jav pulled her close and whispered, "Babe--you're wore out. You need sleep. We'll get some sleep and be ready for her in the morning." Neon nodded tiredly and fell against him. She knew they didn't have a chance against that monster, but she felt safe for a moment in her beloved's arms. From the room's attached bathroom came a flushing sound, and Martya, the Scav, came out and feigned surprise. Jav and Neon jerked upright in shock. "Ooops! Sorry. Didn't mean to intrude. They let us go. Not infectious or something. Got to go. Carry on! Just lock the other bathroom door." Martya hurried across the room, while Neon probed her mind and found that she had heard everything. Neon said, "The hospital has an armory on the fiftieth floor, in the building core. The code is ABG-21212 for access." Martya cut a sharp look at Neon and nodded, and left. Jav looked confused and shocked. "Why the hell did you--" Neon put a finger on his lips and then kissed him. SHe sighed, "Trust me. 'A drowning man clutches even at straws.' She's just a straw." --TO BE CONTINUED-- A new and different figure for Neon, this time. The figure I subbed is Staci from 3d Universe. I morphed the face heavily and body too. Staci has support and clothes files I can use, and a procedural shader for the skin. Lemme know what you guys think!
