[The Merchant Of Menace]

*Yumi flits past Clay and wraps her arms around Aegis*

[Tellemurius]

"Holy Crap!"
*blows back to stop from the sudden force causing a small whirlwind*

[Taricus]

"Want to go do something?"

[Something Evil]

*Amy's demeanor changes to dreadful cheeriness, and she claps her hands together, holding them on her chest, slightly beneath her chin, as if praying.*
A: "And what a wonderful life it was, getting shot at and killing people for a living.
Seeing the pained, terrified, dying face of someone whose throat you just slit so they wouldn't shoot your squadmates in the back while their blood is cooling on your hands and knife. Having my first love blown to pieces in front of my eyes as he took a rocket to save me. Seeing the woman I loved after him slowly bleed to death on the ground, two feet away from me after my legs got mangled by a landmine. Do you think I picked my line of work? I was born in it. Everyone in the crew was. You were in from your first breath of air and until your last. Vows of secrecy and no retirement short of a metal casket."
*She sighs, anger now vented.*
A: "Idiots start wars. It then takes shitloads of smart people to try and stop them, one way or another..."

"Damnit you stupid Panda, We also have damn feelings, we're not empty shells"
*Flies after Aegis*

A: "Yeah. We all have feelings. And noone ever stops to think of others'."

[Ochita]

*Aegis is still, and just stands silent, tears going down her face. The lillys flare, and the group are transported to a void... And land on marble blocks. The void is filled with stars... what seems to be a wedding reception is there, chairs and everything ready... Aegis holds out her hand, and the stars, now dust form into a ball on her hand. Then scatter...*

[The Merchant Of Menace]

*Yumi stands. Arms wrapped around Aegis*
*Crystal has her face buried in Amy's fur*

[Tellemurius]

"And i have watched my family burn to death from the fury of the Daemons, my hands dripped with their blood but it did not satisfy me, i could not crush my anger from them and i vowed to never let that happened again. I may not stop everything in the world but at least i try instead of hiding behind a facade!"

[Something Evil]

*Crystal has her face buried in Amy's fur*

*Amy stands stiff, then wraps her arms around Crystal, her breathing the short, sharp inhales of someone who has long run out of tears for the dead, trying to drown out the idea that she might have any facade left to hide behind, save for one made of concrete.*
A: "_{I'm sorry I brought that up... I really crossed the line, didn't I}?"

[Tellemurius]

"Hurgh"
*tries to calm down the fury*

[Ochita]

*All fades to black, and everyone is deposited on the carved plateau. Aegis has some wisps of star around her, and they swirl to form a ring, made completely from diamond...*

[The Merchant Of Menace]

*Crystal cuddles Amy*

[Something Evil]

*Slowly, Amy's anguish subsides, then she begins embracing Crystal in earnest, trailing pecks on her.*
A: "_{I love you...}"

[Ochita]

"....Here."
*Aegis throws the diamond ring at Amity.*
"You should keep it, to remind me of what an Idiot I am.."

[The Merchant Of Menace]

C:"I love you too"

[Something Evil]

*Amy grabs the ring midair, then softly breaks away from Crystal, walks to Aegis, then places the ring in the robot-girl's palm, closing the woman's hand strongly over the ring.*
A: "No. You need it. We're all idiots one way or another. We're all reckless. We end up hurting the ones we care for. So you keep that. Look at it every day. Remember that you've endangered yourself just to shave off days from a build's finishing date. Remember what you put the woman you loved most through. And remember to never let it happen again."
*She walks off, giving Crystal a short hug, then continuing to walk away.*
