Back in The Tower Proper

The women ascend, and presumably Martin is ascending his own stairs somewhere again, and they all seem weary except of course Yulia who is **** still and Isalia who is still berserk and only kept from attacking people because of the towers mysterious powers forcing her to simply walk up the stairs with the others.

"Laifel was... A renowned and powerful angel. Her powers were unmatched by anyone, but Deus, Deity and The One True God themselves. When she declared her intent to go and fight the Abyss directly, many angels joined her and the rest of us cheered her on. She never returned of course... the exact details were unknown to us, but we did find out what happened to her when she appeared again to us. Forces controlled by Belle Gore had overrun a part of The Tower Proper and a small army of Angels were sent to repel them. The battle was going well, until Belle Gore called in reinforcements and Laifell arrived... Her form twisted into a grotesque mockery of who she once was... Her feathers torn from her wings leaving only the bones behind, her glorious armor replaced with a disgusting mas of squirming flesh that covered and... molested her body and her holy spear reforged into something... monstrous. Her appearance was enough to demotivate the angels and her power quickly overwhelmed them. Most of them were slaughtered in the ensuing bloodbath, but many managed to retreat and inform the rest of us of Laifel's fate," Lemiel explains. She pauses for a bit, "a stronger **** was sent to repel them and that area of the tower was eventually cleansed, but it was a long and difficult fight," she adds.

Yulia speaks in a monotone, the tower seemingly causing her to answer even while ****, "I... Don't know how I feel about doing that to Lemiel after she helped us, but... I guess..." she says.

"What? You're plan... The one you almost sold all of us out for, was to rob me off my free will and power? Why?" Lemiel asks, sounding appalled at the idea and then she crosses her arms, "That's not happening! As soon as we reach the next floor I'm returning to the Tower Above, screw you!" she huffs outraged

"Goma will... try to keep Ee Sah Lee Ah from stabbing anyone..." Goma agrees, watching Isalia who is herself staring daggers at Cherchiel, clearly intent on attacking Cherchiel again. Cherchiel is holding her side where she was stabbed, clearly in pain, but **** to walk, and wait for healing once they clear the stairs.

The clearing of the stairs happens fairly soon after. The door at the top, appearing as a double door made out of two clam shells, which open up to allow passage. There's a moment of hesitation from some of the group as they realize passing through the door means standing at least momentarily in the path of two clam shells that could easily snap back shut, but there's no way to actually stop themselves from moving forward and Cherchiel reassures them, "The tower wouldn't just hurt us like that. Not before the floor proper at least... If we find another door arrangement like this... then maybe we should be concerned," she explains and they all nod and continue through, hurrying slightly passed the middle point of the doors just in case.

Once on the other side they find a beautiful beach with sparkling white sand. Above them a beautiful blue sky and a radiant sun illuminates the area. Gentle waves lap at the beach, Martin arrives and there is an anvil set up for him. Dreg is here relaxing, in just a speedo, on a red and white vertical striped beach chair. A pair of sunglasses on his face, "Ah Calumia... How lucky you are. It is of course just as dangerous as the rest of the Tower, but it's also one of the more scenic locales and you can get some nice tanning or swimming in," he states. Past him there's a bridge going to an island a short ways from the beach, which itself then seems to split off into different directions. Dreg grabs a coconut cocktail off a glass table next to him taking a sip of it.

As meanwhile Yulia collapses to the ground, ****, everyone else feels the sudden onset of the poison symptoms, including Lemiel, who starts panicking as she doesn't appear to be able to flee. Isalia rushes at Cherchiel, but Goma indeed casts puppet on her causing her to drop to her knees. She groans as her hand slides up to grope her breasts, her other hand sliding down into her pants. One eye closes, but the other stays glaring daggers at Cherchiel. Cherchiel for her part collapses onto her knees, the blood loss and poison affecting her.

"Wow... You aren't doing very well, huh?" Dreg asks as he stands up and approaches the **** Yulia. Cherchiel yells at him.

"Don... Don't touch her!" she yells and Dreg just looks over at her and then kneels down and grabs a handful of Yulia's breast, squeezing it roughly, while continuing to maintain eye contact with Cherchiel, though a the same time his other hand reaches into Yulia's pouch and draws out the poison antidote. Cherchiel tries to move towards him, but collapses, growling weakly at him.

He slips off Yulia's mask and pours the contents of the syringe into his mouth before forcing his lips against hers. She remains ****, but her throat moves as she seems to swallow something. He pulls his lips from hers and she coughs slightly. He meets Cherchiel's eyes again, giving Yulia's breast another squeeze before getting up and going back to his chair. Yulia begins coughing violently, waking up and turning over onto her stomach as she retches a bit. She glances around, seeming to see what's happening and she jumps to her feet, almost falling over from the sudden violent movement and she begins to cast cure. Curing first Isalia, then Goma, then Cherchiel, before also healing her, lastly she moves over to Lemiel and hesitates. Lemiel glares at Yulia, her breathing heavy and her skin pale from the poison effect.

"Do it... Take everything from me, I can't stop you..." she states hatefully and Dreg hearing this glances over, clearly intrigued by what he heard.

Goma no longer having to contend with Isalia trying to **** Cherchiel, glances around and her eyes light up, "Cah-loo-Mee-ah" she yells excitedly, "this Cah-loo-Mee-ah!" she explains. After this outburst she seems to realize there's something important happening and she turns her attention to the standoff occurring between Yulia and Lemiel. Isalia is also watching though Goma appears to have forgotten to stop the puppet command as her hands are still moving in her pants and now under her vest.
