Just a newbie...
"Did you not just hear them threaten to kill him?" Nathan said a face of question pointed at her.
"I wasn't trying to be a fucking dick, he asked a question I answered. Lucky you, people give a shit about you, want a cookie," he sneered, crossing his arms in a childish manner. He looked at Emily, seeing if she had any insight on the situation.

Peter was happy that his shoulder was cured, so he walked over and stood by Elliot. " So, whatever you are experiencing can't be found here? Is it some sort of drug that is exclusive to your 'dimension'?" He asked, looking over at him. He was actually curious and felt it was better than sitting there and letting his own thoughts stir.

"Not funny..." Krystal said, looking away. "Great... I'm making more foes if anything on this godforsaken trip to hell that I was unwilling to go on but basically was dragged into."
@Space_Candy @York @Atomic Knight @Infirmary
"Yeah, no one was willing to be here, you're not the only one making foes either," Nathan glared.
"I'm not your foe either, I just don't like people getting into my face for no reason" he frowned at her.

Elliot was not impressed with Nathan's attempt at connecting with him. He understood why the other boy was doing it, for it wasn't like Elliot had never attempted to relate to the boys and girls he'd read about growing up. In truth, those had just been made up nonsense, while Nathan probably didn't understand the first thing about what Elliot had been through.
"For your information, Nathan, I still doubt you have been locked in a tower the majority of your life by a tyrant, or lost that which you loved the most, or--"
He cut himself off, realizing he was saying too much. He huffed and kept silent for the moment.
He looked between Nathan and Krystal as they fought, finding it curious that either had wanted him alive. In their shoes, he would not have been so lenient. Was everyone as weak as Elliot thought?
What Emily said caught Elliot's attention and he looked at her in surprise. "It controls you?" he asked. "How so? Where did it come from?" Before she could answer, however, in came Quill to ask questions that Elliot would have knocked him around for asking was he able to.
"It is not drugs, such a term does not apply here. I would not expect a fool to understand." His glance caught Rin as well, aiming this toward her. "It is power, pure and simple, and to get more of it, I need to get out of this infernal bed and away from this awful ship!"

Lieutenant Adams blinked at Flower's lack of effort in lifting the debris. "Uh, yeah, that would be ideal," he said, before turning and giving Sarge an unimpressed look. "I honestly can't tell if you're making a joke. I will assume you are." He sighed once again, looking down and pressing a few buttons on his omni-tool.
"You all may be responsible for the damage, but I'm not holding a grudge. If you help out, I might be able to offer you some obsolete omni-tools as compensation. No one in their right mind among the crew would use them, but that shouldn't matter to you, right?"

A look of understanding flashed across her face as Elliot spoke to Nathan; while she hadn't been trapped in a tower per say... She was trapped by her stone... Bound to its power, and influence for the better or worse. Perhaps if it hadn't been for the event that had changed her life more than two years ago... She wouldn't have so readily accepted the stone's power when Grandfather passed, but now... There was no turning back.
Nonetheless, she seemed a little more uncomfortable as she was pressed on about the stone's influence, but... She pushed past it, and continued speaking, seeming to cock a brow at what he mentioned he was feeling withdrawal from. If it wasn't a drug then... Perhaps it was closer to her stone magic than she thought, although... She wasn't so sure if one could experience withdrawal from not using stone magic... As she had witnessed someone functioning just fine after their stone was destroyed in battle.
However, killing a stone was rarely easy... And she still wasn't too sure how she managed it the one time she had witnessed it first hand. Regardless, she decided to focus on answering Elliot's questions as best as she could.
"... It tries to. Whenever I'm not carefull with my powers... Or I feel desperate... Like I'm about to give up... It speaks to me... Asks me to give control to it... But... Every time I can remember... I fight it." She explained, then stopped, not sure if she should elaborate further on what would happen if she did lose control of her stone.
While Emily had been told of what happens when a stone keeper loses control of their stone... She had only witnessed two instances; one where the keeper completely lost their mind... And another, where they became the stone's pawn... Until he was discarded, when he no longer was of use to the voice.
Then, she thought of the second thing Elliot had asked her, about where the stone came from... Which was a bit more difficult to answer; her head hurt as she tried to recall too much, beyond the bare bones basics.
"A gem. The people of Alledia call it the 'mother stone'. They found it centuries ago when they first settled on the planet... But... There's not alot of it left." She said, though... She seemed a little uneasy all of a sudden.
This was most of what she knew about the origins of the stones, but there was something she felt like she was forgetting... An important detail that escaped her recollection, not just about the origins of the Mother stone, but the reason it might have been discovered by Alledia's settlers in the first place...
