			            *Crim glared at the broken pavement and large puddles of gathered water, from both the rain and the broken water mains. Frustrated, she looked around for a way out of the mansion, but alas, there was none. It seemed that the last bit of stable ground had given away after Oxy had pulled into the mansion earlier.
 She crouched down and ran her hand through the water. Well, it sure as ******** wasn't a tiny puddle. If it weren't for her fear of bodies of water deeper than 2ft, Crim probably would've continued forward on foot, taking the time to swim across...if she knew how to swim, that is.*

			            *She made a small ball of dark cells converge in her hand, kicking up a great wind secluded to that one spot. Crim tossed it into the puddle and soon found that it was a miniature pond, for the ball of wind was swallowed after the first 10 feet. Continuing her incoherent and curse filled rambling, Crim got back in her car and drove back to the garage, parking it once again. She was practically roaring the obsenities still spilling from her mouth as she entered the mansion and began pacing while ranting in the common.*

			            Oxy woke up on the floor of the infirmary. His nose was broken, blood spattered on the floor beneath it. He'd fallen out of bed, having been sleeping on the edge.OoC And you could have said something when Quinas turned up, maybe then I would have allowed the damage, RPed some Government paid comapnies coming to resurface the road, the GFBI asking what happened, and Nova Armada covering it up as a test gone awry. By the way, Crim could never have gotten out the underground level anyway. You really  have to start asking me about these things. Preferably when I'm not in bed. He stood up, concentrating on fixing his nose, it didn't take long, being a small break. The bone liquified, then reformed and solidified.
 
 He glanced around for Crimson, registering her as gone and shrugging. He wandered from the Infirmary to the door of the classified sections. It was still open, he had a feeling the upper level door would be too. He sighed, and slammed it shut behind him, making a note to get automated doors fitted.
 
 He had been correct, the upper door was also open, and he closed this too. At least they automatically locked.
 
 His first instinct was to head upstairs, he still had to check on Quinas, and why nothing had blown up with her presence yet.
 He found her asleep, in Kirasa's room. Vaguely pondering waking her up and telling her whose room it was, he decided against it and walked off.
 
 His next destination was the common room, where he found Crimson asleep on the floor/a sofa/the rafters. He smiled softly at the sight, reminded of last night. He was glad she knew, but would have to wait to see what she thought of it. He stalked from the room, to the garage.
 
 
 A Subaru Impreza tore from the garage ramp shorty after, hitting the deck in a burst of sparks. It sped towards the gates, which seemed to open a little faster than usual. Construction crews were working on the road, still large patches of deep water here and there, but the Impreza simply passed over the water as though it were solid.
 There was no way Oxy was getting this thing wet.
 OoC Jeez that was longer than I intended. Correct any typoes mentally, I'm not checking.

			            The Subaru returned, and I suppose Oxy did too, being inside it. The road surface was repaired now, the construction team gone in record team.
 In a few short minutes, the car was in the garage, and Oxy heading inside the mansion.

			            *Crim stirred, having fallen asleep on a random couch. She let out a loud yawn and rolled over and off the couch, her feet hitting the floor with a soft -thud-. She stood up and looked around, obviously a bit disoriented*

			            His first stop was the upper floor corridor, where his hip holsters lay forgotten. He picked them up and fitted them about his hips.He then peered into Kirasa's room, where Quinas still lay asleep on the bed. A slight look of disappointment showed as he noticed Kirasa had not yet returned from wherever she was.
 
 With a shrug he headed back downstairs, to the common room. He needed to talk to Crimson.

			            In a break from his usual character, Oxy lightened his mood, trying his best not to smirk, or grin, anything that might make Crimson more nervous. He gave a small smile in return, making a very small saluting motion.
 "I trust all is well, Crimson? Well, we're not all blown up anyway. Got any news for me?"

 *Crim's eyes avoided Oxy for a moment, looking past him to the wall as she shifted from foot to foot, her voice higher than normal still. She couldn't help but wonder how utterly disgusted with her Oxy must be and those thoughts polluted her mind.
 
 She faintly wondered why Oxy thought that something would be blown up, but she just figured that he was talking about the destruction caused by herself and Raven, still oblivous to the presence of Quinas.*
 
 Um, and I'm not sure if I have any news for you...Um...Is there anything you need to know that you don't already know, you know?

 "Well.. er..... I enjoyed it. A lot. And... I'd like to do it again... Sometime. And umm.. I wanted to know how you feel about it. And I really said all that the wrong way around. And err.. yeah."
