Kruth'T had a fairly good view of Whip's fall, but was to far away to do anything to prevent it. While he was close enough that he could have intervened when Ella hurt Whip. Kruth'T's spines had began to peek out of their sheaths, but he stopped when he had noticed her fear.
When she ran, he nearly went after her. If she had been one of his own species he would have. instead he turned to Kia, "Is it just me or did she loose control?" -

oh, um I guess. Its hard to say, its kinda considered a luxury, but it is good for the muscles to help relax re-invigorate or sumpting
Kia studied KruthT for a moment Why do you think its absurd or something? Whatd do to relax where your from?
[/ QUOTE ]
How do I put this? Kruth'T shifted uneasily. "Sorry it came out like that, Kia. But most of my kind has problems with watter. If not for the training I had received, I wouldn't be able to think in a calm manner at such a close proximity to a large body of watter."
Forcing his eyes from the watter, he focused on Jamie, Hal, and Void. Overhead, he heard Kid's movements. Not seeing the watter helped him to compose himself. Finally, he felt the tension ease, and took a deep breath of the steamy air.
"Mind you, the steam, while a little cooler then I'd prefer, is nice. And it is marginally warmer then it is outside, so it is not so unpleasant." So long as I do not look at the watter. "My people have as many ways to relax as you do. Some like steam, or sun or sand. However, many enjoy warm stones, or stars." Kruth'T became quiet as he glanced up, in hopes that the skies would be clear tonight. -
Kruth'T first impression of the hot tubs was decidedly mixed. The steam was pleasant, and smelled nice as well. But there was one small (well not so small) problem...
The large bodies of boiling hot water...
That people were actually immersing them-selves in to...
For fun.
Still the shock passed quickly, he had been exposed other bazaar forms of rest. Besides, it's not as if these humans would find my people's version of rest any less odd.
So it was no surprise that he had failed to recognize Kia, until after she had spoken.
<Kia>Hey Guys!
"Hi Kia, you seem to be feeling better."
Kruth'T listened to Hal, and Ella's conversation. All the while wishing his translator would understand any part of what the two were saying. So when he was introduced he happily chirped
"Hello Hal, and Jamie."
<Void>

"Man, I LOVE this place...." , "Oh my, I can say...well, "I" again! This is great! Void Blazer ran about, and attempted to give Kruth'T a hug, moving about he cheered, "Ha, finally, I can say "me" again! Yes, yes!"
[/ QUOTE ]
Kruth'T watched his Friend's glee, and patted him on the shoulder. "Congratulations, Void. I am glad you have reached this point."
Then to Kruth'T's confusion Void quickly calmed down, and moved to a corner, and started to whistle.
Kruth'T found a spot two feet from Kia's hot tub, and sat down. "So, do most humans enjoy this activity?" He asked, while still eying the watter with trepidation. -
<Void> "Wait, what do you mean YET? Does your home have that sort of technology? What would even be the purpose of that?"
Kruth'T sighed, "Well, we use it to reduce damage during disasters, you know like earthquakes, natural fires, and the occasional invasion. Also we use it during colonization." He paused for a moment in thought. "I have seen it used by other peoples for other reasons, like migratory habits and such."
Kruth'T remembered that Ella was with them, when Lady Empathy swept past Kruth"t and Void Blazer. He watched her as she gave Ella her treatments, and noted her rapid improvement.
<Ella>Ella turned to Void and KruthT taking each by the hand gently. Come on we can still catch Whip
"If you are up to it, then lead on, Ella." -
<Ella>The hot tub? Which one? There some for physical therapy and such under the hospital, but there are some recreational ones by the Spa.
<Kid Whip>"Whip know where that is! You follow, you follow!"
<Ella>I can show yo
Kruth'T started to respond to Ella when Whip began to drag her along his path.
<Void>"Come on Kruthy, we apparently have little time to waste!"
Kruth"t nodded and fallowed Kid for just a moment until Ella stopped, in pain. He waited for her pain reaction to end before speaking. "Perhaps we should go at your pace Ella. It's not as though the hot tubs will telaport away."
Then he though about it for a moment. "Void, do they even have that kinda technology yet on this planet?" He asked in a half joking, half serious tone. -
Good story, I can't wait to see where it's going.
-
Kruth'T glanced at Void, and shrugged.
"I am glad to hear you are recovered" Although, you may not look like it. Ella's normal complexion made determining her current condition, through visual inspection, difficult. to tell the truth he had doubts. Considering her week voice, and that she was leaning on Whip.
"We were looking for the 'Hot Tub', that we had herd of. If you would like to join us we could go there, or if there is another location that would be better for you we could accompany you there." -
Kruth"t was getting ready to ask Kid Whip, about the location of the hot tub when...
[ QUOTE ]
"Say...do you know her Kruthy, she seems to recognize her."
[/ QUOTE ]
This caused Kruth'T too notice the approaching pale human. Kruth'T waived back at her. "I believe she was being carried out of the room we were in while I was entering."
Looks like it recovered from what it ate.
Kruth'T fallowed Void Blaizer, and Kid Whip to the human. "Hello, I am Kruth'T, are you felling better?" -
Kruth"t was about to ask the person behind the information desk, about the whereabouts of the 'Hot Tub" when...
[ QUOTE ]
ACHOO!
[/ QUOTE ]
Thsi sound, and the sound of somthing falling over made him turn arround. Quickly he decerened that the disturbance was caused to the humanoid righting a potted plant.
toVoid "Could you get the directions while I check on that person."
Kruth'T waited a moment and then moved toward the humanoid. "Hello, I am Kruth'T. Are you alright?" He said while extending his hand to help him up.
((Welcome to the clinic Kid)) -

"Plane of existence? Well yes, we are the Void Blazer, we are of this dimension, just from far away parts of it. We are of a human, and a Nictus."
[/ QUOTE ]
Nictus? The name is familar... Maybe historical referance? Hmm... I'll have to check my data base latter.
[ QUOTE ]
"Why do you want to know about us anyway?"
[/ QUOTE ]
Kruth'T chuckled "Basically it's part of my job.... Or at least it was. I am one of the few of my kind to have entered this dimension. So it is expected that I spend my time here wisely, and learn as much as I can about it's natives while I wait to be picked up."
Kruth"t rounded a corner, and finally saw his destination. Behind the desk a human asked "Can I help you gentlemen?" -
Kruth'T held up a finger for silence, as he listened.
After a moment he shook his head. "I can not hear their movements anymore." he admitted, in an embarrassed tone. "Too many people are in motion, creating many echos.... or they are masking their sound"
He thought for a moment "Perhaps we could go to this 'Hot Tub' that they spoke of, and meet with them there. But first we should go to the information desk, since I do not know it's location."
It only took him a moment to orient him-self toward the desk. " I meant to ask earlier," he said as he moved down the hall towards his desired destination " But am I correct in assuming that you are from this plane of existence?" -
Raises hand,
Kruth'T is my wild blender. Personally I don't mind teaming, but I don't activly seek them out. Mostly 'cause they keep telling me I'm not a tank.... Of course not. My tank isn't as good at dealing with mobs.
Besides the best defense is offense... -
((We could just loose track of them... It's possible that we leave the room during a burst of activity. Making it impossible to fallow them with any certainty.))
-
Kruth"T paused a moment before answering. "I already know where my room is, it's in the hospital building."
His mind raced to consider Void's idea. He saw nothing wrong with the idea, and it might help him to further his understanding of humans.
Besides, the little blue hatchling was with them. His translator would need more exposure to learn the little one's language.
So Kruth'T nodded to Void Blazer. "Very well, I do not think they have moved too far ahead."And kruth"t pocketed the two fruit (I'm assuming the robe he is wearing has pockets). -
[ QUOTE ]
"Well, lizard friend of ours, we are going to take a wild guess, that the woman felt it necessary that, in order to stop the fight, she had to incapacitate her friend as well. Of course, this is of course assuming they are both friends in this....otherwise she mihgt just enjoy freezing people. We know we would..." said Void Blazer, in a somewhat humorous manner. Void Blazer looked around, trying to do something about the akward silence, so picking up an orange, he held it up to Kruth'T, "...Still hungry?"
[/ QUOTE ]
Kruth"t looked at the fruit, and shook his head. "I have plenty, thanks." He said holding up the other two he had already taken.
[ QUOTE ]
Oui, Kia will be okay the ice that I used will not damage her wery much. Pardon
[/ QUOTE ]
Kruth'T starred blankly at Hali while she talked to the security person. He turned slightly toward Void. "What did she say? My translator seems to be malfunctioning. What it said made little sense."
When Kia gave Hali the finger, he understood that her only injury was to her ego.
"It seems that it was your first assessment that was correct." He turned to face Void directly. "So, did you find your room?" -
Now that the fight was over Kruth'T walked up to Hail.
"Pardon my ignorance, but why did you encase Kia in Ice? " He asked calmly. "I thought humans were supseptible to damage when exposed to sudden temature changes."
Kruth'T eyed Kia with something approaching concern.
Alissa on the other hand worried him, for diffrent reasons. The reaction of the security force left him with some puzzeling questions about her. He could now see why she was here, but her primal state seemed inconsistant with what he knew of Humans.
Questions, questions... Too many questions. -
[ QUOTE ]
Void Blazer started to cheer and began yelling "KIA, KIA, KIA!"
[/ QUOTE ]
If he'd had eye-lids, Kruth'T would have blinked.
"I guss he's not as tiered as he thought he was." Kruth'T muttered to him self. With nothing better to do, Kruth'T started to peel the second fruit.
<OOC, sorry coudn't think of more for Kruth't this time arround> -
Kruth"t moved toward the far end of the room.
While Kia definitely looked as though she was in this fight for fun, Alissa didn't seem to be. He resolved not to intervene unless one or the others life was threatened.
Finally he spotted an orange. It had been dropped by one of the Order-bringers that had been removing the food, and rolled towards him. Still moving he intercepted the fruit, and moved toward the order-bringer. Within the bowel the human held were two more oranges. So, noting that the human was staring at Kia, and Alissa, he helped him self to the other two.
"I guess this counts as entertainment." Kruth'T said to him self, as he began to peal the fruit for consummation.
All the while he continued to watch Kia, and Alissa.... Just in case. -
Kruth'T watched as Void Blazer left to get some rest. I had been interesting talking to another non native. He also resoleved to talk futher with them at a latter date.
Kruth"t then turned back to Kia, mostly to ask further about the simulators when....
[ QUOTE ]
Alissa got up from her chair, ignoring those around her.
[/ QUOTE ]
Kruth'T mde a short hop back, surprised at Alissa's sudden movement, and brought him self to his full height. Her watched her movements carfully. When he heard her growling he understood. Oh no... She's gone and lost her self to a primal state.
Kruth'T quickly surveyed the room, looking for options should things go badly. -
[ QUOTE ]
"Oh, well, we are the Void Blazer. We are pleased to meet you. You seem irritated, can we do anything to help? Even if we are here to relax, we feel we should help others if they need it. "
[/ QUOTE ]
I sound irritated? What the.... oh the sharding thing is getting some kind of intrerferance. Kruth'T spent the next few moments mentally adjusting the translator settings. There, that should solve the problem.
"My apologies, Void Blazer. My translator seems to have miss understood my intent of meaning. I have adjusted it so that it doesn't do that again" I hope, of course I'm not even sure why it happened.
"Am I correct in assuming, that you are in a symbiotic relationship with anther intellect?" -
<Kia> Sometimes the simulator is fun, because the parking lot of Portal Corp can get so crowded, and if you are practicing a solo technique you dont want Joe-Average Hero to jump in and try to help
"There is a simulator at Portal Corp? I did not know that. It sounds better for testing new skills then using my room-mates training regime... He calls it 'bust'n Skulls'. He also sets himself on fire, so I'm still not to sure of his stability."
He was impressed, and decided to check it out. When he had the time.
<Void Blazer> "Hiya, how're you guys, did you all come here together?"
Kruth'T' turned slightly to look at the new-commer. "Hello, I am Kruth'T. I am here for medical treatment. Who are you?" He was getting tiered of talking about his infestation. -
Kruth'T almost smiled, "Actually you should hear me after I have a run in with Trolls. My translator tends to mimic those it is exposed to, within certain limits. It is difficult to explain, but it is learning your language as well."
He paused for a moment "So what kind of training do you do?" -
[ QUOTE ]
"Infestation? That sounds kinda gross. I hope that its not bad" Kia wrinkled her nose, but smiled she wasn't really that grossed out by such things
[/ QUOTE ]
"In truth it is not bad at the moment, since it is in an area where my sheaths are few. But, should it spreed to one of my sheaths, than my life will be seriously threatened." to demonstrate he held up his left arm and willed his (nearly invisible to human eyes) spine sheaths to open. Within each Kia saw a needle sharp end of a porcupine like spine. Then they closed. "Such things are rare on my world/plane but the results of non treatment are well understood."
[ QUOTE ]
"So what do you do when you arent infested with Terran aliments?"
[/ QUOTE ]
"I usually stay in King's Row, but I sometimes leave that area when someone akses for my assistance. I am also trying to learn your language, so I am no longer reliant on my translator." I should have listened to my elders when they said 'get the best model you can get.'. But no, I wanted to bring more music compositions. Oh well, they say only looking back is perfect. "A friend of mine often says it's only a little better then Babblefish, and that it misses some things." Kruth"t chuckled (a sound that more closely resembles that of a ticking clock).
"So what do you do when you are not forced into relaxing, Kia?" -
Hey whats up KruthT Kia held her fist straight out to give him pounds.
--------------------------------
Kruth"t looked at Kia's fist for a moment, "I'm sorry but my knowledge of human customs is still under development. Is this a greeting?"
Kia quickly fill him in, and Kruth'T returned the gesture.
-------------------------------------------------
So why are you guys stuck here?
-------------------------------------------------
' I am being observed by one of your healers due to an infestation I gained recently. " Kruth'T paused for a moment. "What brings you here, Kia?"
----------------------------------
Alissa raised a brow, the fur still slowly creeping up her neck, and the side of her head.
----------------------------------
Is it just me or is she getting furrier? -
Kruth'T turned slightly toward KIa, mostly so he could talk to her and Alissa at the same time. "Hello, I am Kruth'T. Who are you?"
Kruth"t glanced at Alissa, and decided not to introduce her. She seemed capable of doing that on her own.
