"Hey, at the very least you can keep your job here, and just have a better roof over your head, and good food."She said honestly. Sanctuary was very large and beautiful, and she was still a bit overwhelmed with everything herself. She waited as Cadavor went into the shack, she waited a short time untill he came out and asked if she was ready to go, which she was.

It was a short walk to the sanctuary with the streets relatively calm for the city. They soon arrived on the Sanctuary's grounds, their was not much activity, at this time of night, though various lights showed that the inhabitants kept to all hours. "This mansion is sanctuary, they took me in, despite my past and accepted me for who i was" She said shaking her head a bit.

She figured it would be best to let him take in the building before rushing him into it. Mutants were often distrustful of others because of their pasts, so she used what she knew, back on the Team, she had been eased into things and it had made everything much easier to deal with. She wondered who was still up, as she glanced back at her friend.

OOC: fantastic lets see this sanctuary and what Cadaver may do

The sanctuary loomed up above them. Cadaver stared at every nook and cranny, taking it all in."hmmm good food, warm, people, acceptance. It all sounds great but whats the catch? And dont even tell me its free cause even when its not monetary value , you can always pay in work, promises, or your dignity. So give me this straight up or i walk, i don't go for lies and decievery. It's not my style." Cadaver looked her in the eyes trying to see the truth. He hated to be upfront and forceful with someone who had been so kind but it was worth it. And if this place was legit she wouldnt mind his brute ways.

Thunder rumbled in the distance. They may have to head for shelter soon. " I want the complete truth Rena. I would like to say we r friends and i need to be able to trust you but if u lie to me it shatters that trust." A light sprinkling rain began. It felt good on Cadaver's skin.
"So talk Rena. Im all ears."

"To be honest i have no idea about a catch, all they did was ask for basic information, Name, Gender, Powers, that kind of thing. I never thought to question how the place sustained itself. I do recall reading about it being run by some huge Pharmaceuticals company though. " She said honestly, she had no idea how the place was funded only that it was there. She stared right back at him without flinching, she was being very honest and it would show.

"Though to be honest" She said as a few drops of rain made their way down her face. "I am just happy to have a roof, how it got there means little to me. If they did ask something of me i would do my best within reason to help out, but they have not." She said and in truth they had asked nothing of her quite yet. She was unsure if they would in the future but she was very willing to do what was needed, for Sanctuary and for the Order. She had lived for two years mostly ina forest, the idea of asking such questions really had never occurred to her. "I have told you what i know, what you do from here, is up to you" she said blinking and walking closer to the building to help shield herelf from the rain.

The pharmaceuticals nagged at Cadaver for a bit.

Could He trust her? The girls eyes shone truth but some could just lie wihtout physical show. He nodded "so be it Rena i give u my trust for now." He stood in the worsening rain thinking. He had always loved the rain. The cool feeling on one's skin. the glitter of raindrops in the air. But his favorite had always been the subtle music on the pavement, metal, cloth, and plastic of a city. He listened to the worlds public orchestra for a moment. "Well then lets get out of this rain. So what do u do ring a doorbell or somethin?" He looked At her again.

........at least im steppin out of the shitty frying pan of my old life....... thought Cadaver.........and maybe right into the oven........

Rena simply smiled and opened the door their was not to much activity currently it seemed. "I apreshiate the trust you place in me" She said as she moved into the Foyer. She liked gravedigger as a friend, and hoped he would stay. Inside the large foyer sprawled out in front of them with a desk near the doors at the back. "Nope we just walk in, it's what most people do anyway" she replied though they were already in.

"As i siad if you feel uncomfortable you can always go back" she offered trying to be friendly, and trying to sooth his worries about the sanctuary.

Cadaver stepped farther into the foyer, taking a look around. He smiled "its okay Rena i should be fine." he paused "if this is a sanctuary where are all the people?" ...... of course i'll be okay. i have other talents that dont require corpses....... thought Cadaver.

"i mean i know its late but shouldnt some all nighters be up?"

OOC: i hope someone joins itd be nice to get new blood.
also i have told rena my name peter remember?

It was late and Cailyn was sleepy. She had her pijama's on and her pillow in her hand. She couldn't sleep though since she was thirsty. She opened the door of her room and sleepy walked down the corridors looking for something to drink. She still got lost like, all the time in the sanctuary so finding a bathroom while being sleepy was hard.

She walked through the hallways until she found a bathroom. She got herself some water to drink and went while she was there. It seemed smart to her to go in advance. When she was done she washed her hands and left the bathroom. She rubbed her sleep filled eyes with her one hand as she heard voices. The voices where not in her head, well not completly. She found herself in the foyor looking at a girl and a boy. In her sleepy behavior she waved with her pillow in her hand and yawned while she spoke. "Hewwo, Rena and Peter." she yawned and she slowly shuffled further in search for her room.

A young and apparently very sleepy blonde entered the room "Hewwo, Rena and Peter." she said mid yawn.

Cadaver tensed ...... she knew my name........ thoughts raced through his head ....... psychic? is this a set up? did rena contact her friends here? wtf is going on here? ..... Cadaver settled into the most basic stance of zombie's lope, his favorite and most practiced form of undead ninjutsu. "who are u and how do u know my name?"

His mind considered the best routes of escape. ...........the front door? the nearest window?.....
He wasnt sure if this was a set up. but this almost soldier like conscience happpened whenever things got a little tense. Mr. doudry would of called it his newly trained spirit.

every fight he had been in since he thanked mr. doudry and blessed his almost forgotten soul.

Cadaver hoped it wouldnt have to b one of those days. He slipped his hand near the liquor bottle just in case.

Aura saw the undead controller tense as Hymn the girl she recalled from the book store and for a second she wondered if Hymn. "You all right?" She asked Hymn tilting her head, she was wandering and looked a bit lost. Looking back to Cadaver she smiled. "I think she is tired" she said softly as she walked up to Hymn. "Looking for something?" she asked trying to inquire further, not to be nosy but to help.

"You were asking where the people are, and i would imagine most of them are in their rooms or wandering around the city" she said though the place did seem strangely empty. "Though it is a bit empty" she admitted, stretching a bit herself. SHe did wonder how Hymn knew the man's name, maybe they were friends.

excitement rushed through the mind of the young man and Cailyn sensed it but her sleepyness was not broken. She yawned again and scratched her head even while she knew that the man had a bottle in his hand. He even took a fighting stance towards her but she had other things on her mind like sleep. She could just sit down in a chair and fall asleep.

"who are u and how do u know my name?"

She yawned some more. Good girls wher supposed to go to bed around 20:00 and she could never leave that as it was hammered into her in the asylum. It was way past her bedtime and she wasn't used to it. "They told me." She said sleepy, implying to the whispers that spooked around her head

The girl seemingly recognized her and talked to her asking what was going on. Cailyn had her eyes half shut and opened one of them fully and yawned again. "Found bathroom, go back to bed." she replied sleapy and drowzy. Normally it was hard for her to talk normal and now that she was half asleep it was even harder for her.

OOC: the stance was supposed to be subtle not a full on fists up thing. just a shift of my weight. thats what i meant by basic. although it probably wasnt clear.

"who told you? what do u mean?" Cadaver saw little threat in this disoriented and exhausted woman. but many could act. He relaxed. but still kept his hand on the bottle. he was gona have a drink. He sank into a chair. "aw f**k i need a drink. ive been paranoid and jumpy all day. any takers?" Cadaver filled the rather deep cap with whiskey and drank as if it was a shot.

He refilled the cap. "one hell of a busy day." he drank again. "shit --- i must look like a homeless drunk or somethin." .........which reminds me i need some new clothes. these rags wont do anymore..............

"I thnk Hymn power is telapthic in nature" she said and was glad when Cadaver calmed down and sat down. She waved off the offer, not due to age but because she did not particularly care for the stuff. "You look fine, i have seen Mutants due far worse to them selfs then drink a bit" she said sitting on the couch nearby and looking back to Hymn.

"Tired i see, well the rooms are off that way" Aura said pointing down the hall. She was a strange one but Aura liked that in a person. Running a hand through her hair she heard him talk about clothing, she was unsure what the Sanctuary had. "Im sure we can find you something if we tried" she said thinking to herself, wondering if Hymn knew anything or if the girl was coherent enough to explain. "Not much of a night owl, eh?" she asked hymn with a smile.

"Not much of a night owl, eh?"

She nodded in a matter that would mean she wasn't. She was very sleepy and she shuffled towards a bench. She fell down flet on the bench with her pillow under her head. At this moment she was so tired that no whisper or question could keep her awake. Normally she wouldn't do this kind of thing around strangers seeing as she is to paranoid around strangers. She closed her eyes and placed her hand under the pillow. Her other hand was us to place against her lips with the tip of her tumb against her uper lip. She started mubling in her sleep. "Soft." She mumbled as she fell asleep even though people where there.

"did she just fall asleep?" Cadaver chuckled heavily " that bench is gona give her back hell in the morning." He put the cap back on his bottle and put it back into his pocket. ...........just enough to relax me not get twirling drunk.............. "guess shes not an all night partying dervish at all. Do you think we should move her into a room? or do people usually sleep around foyers here?" He stared thoughtfully at the young woman who crashed asleep in mere seconds. "the whole worlds fulla strange aint it?"

He turned to Rena "so how bout a brief tour of this place? i got an itch to see more of the strange today." Cadaver walked around the length of the foyer. just looking. ........you can get a lot of info from one room of a house.............. He turned back to Rena and smiled. " Im enjoying this place more by the minute"


OOC: for definition of the word dervish go to www.thefreedictionary.com/dervish
usin the second definition. dervish is kind of like my word of the week.

"I think she did fall aseep, but what can ya do. No she prolbely is not a partier, though i am not a fan of booze i can stay up for long hours" she said causally though she had been hoping Hymn would stay up longer, cadaver seemed aprehensive. "well i can not say people are mprone to sleeping in random area's here, so maybe we should help her to a bed at least." She agreed, though she realized as well she would not likely be able to ift hymn on her own.

"Im glad your enjoying the place, and perhaose after we put Hymn a way we can walk a round a bit, it is a large place" She admitted with a nod, again running her hand through her hair. Cadaver had seemed to calm down and she liked that, Sanctuary was a good place and she wanted to show Peter that. Sanctuary was a wonderful place tat would help Mutnats with their needs. "Santuary does have many facilitys within it's doors" She said strtching her back a bit and opened the door to the rest of the hallway that lead on to the rooms, she was unsure which one was Hymn's but she was sure she could find it, she just had to find the list.
