ooc: MOM new reports delayed absense from most of the W@RF main cast. Officials request that people just post with any characters who aren't waiting for anyone else.

"Uhuh, whatever," Dionysia answered distractedly and took the leg as it was offered to her. She glanced over Rick's shoulder and said, fishing for random conversation, "So you get on well with the boss, huh?"

Anni paused in her eating, staring across the room at the slig who had just sat down outside the kitchen.
That's the one who shot you.
She didn't know how she knew; before she was shot she had been looking in the other direction, and after she had been shot she had been too busy being shot to notice the slig who had done it, yet somehow she knew, and she knew that it was right. It was as if a voice in her head had said-
'Oh no.'
Nova's voice hissed in her mind.
That's the one who shot you, who tried to kill you.
'He didn't try to kill me,' She retorted, '
He hit me by accident.'
And did he care? Did he try and help you afterwards?
'It was an accident. It doesn't matter!'
It DOES matter! She jerked when Nova shouted at her and Jim glanced at her.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
She looked at him, almost surprised. "Fine, I have a headache," She muttered. The scrab leg dropped to her plate and she rested her forehead in her hands.
He's a slig, Nova's voice continued to taunt and she winced.
'Go way, please!'
Filth like him kill hundreds of our people every day and none of them care! They're monsters, like Stivik. They'd kill us all! They deserve to die!
'No!'
Yes! Starting with that one! Her eyes came up of their own accord and pointed at #9.
You must kill him!
'No!'
Kill him!
'I can't! Even if I wanted to, he has a gun. He could shoot me from here.'
Don't be so stupid! I can help you! You remember what I did when the vykker strapped you down? When the scrab tried to kill you? I told you, there's much more than that. You've seen only the tiniest fragment of my power! Kill him!
'No! I won't!'
KILL HIM!
Anni jerked to her feet, so quickly that the chair she had been sitting in fell over. "I have to go!" She squeaked and ran from the cafeteria as fast as she could, while the voice in her head hissed,
You can't run forever...
oocEDIT: Two helpings of Anni and Nova goodness in one day! That's right, I've just updated
