*AFR closed his eyes* "I didn't get there fast enough to stop it... I know how you feel... but if Kari is the way, then perhaps there is a chance we could still help... Perhaps we could still meet them on the other side where Kari put them... Please don't just blame yourself like that. You haven't give up on them yet and that is the key. You fought hard, Rose... and you will fight hard for them again. I promise"

She laughed bitterly. "You still don't get it." Rose turned and glared at her feet. Welcome to the ugly side of Rose. This is probably the reason she's never had a boyfriend before; her emotion issue. "I couldn't help you against Radiant and I couldn't help them either."

*AFR did get it... he really did... he held onto her tightly* "but you tried... and that's what matters to me... you saved me, though you couldn't defeat her... take some good from it, Rose... please." *AFR couldn't say much about the others except* "We will get the others back... we just need to improvise to get to Kari."

Rose sighed. Before she could say anything else, a crash sounded from the kitchen.
Lianne scowled deeply. "Dammit." There was food all over the floor due to the shelves in the fridge having broke

*AFR blinked as he heard the expletive* "I think our community service worker finally came out of the Lianne cave..." *AFR headed the charge to see why she was breaking stuff*

Rose stepped into the kitchen. She rose an eyebrow at Lianne who was sitting in the middle of the mess with a bowl of cheerios.

*AFR quirked an eyebrow*... "You make one mean bowl of cereal Lianne... seriously..."

Lianne glared at him. "You try not eating for two weeks."

*AFR crossed his arms* "Noone said the kitchen was offlimits, though the common curdosy of not destroying the kitchen was unspoken I thought..." *AFR did his cool robot making thing and it began to clean up... he winced as a bit of black trickled from his nose...*

"I don't like it here. Y'all are very loud." She had to be referring to the crashes from all the fighting.
"Its the shadow clan sweetheart. Deal." Rose turned and saw the black liquid. "Afr?"

*AFR put his hand to his face, whiped the liquid clean and shook it off*... "This ain't the girl scouts... we serve a greater purpose here..." *AFR braced himself on Rose for a moment* "That's... different"

Rose helped him with that. She gave AFR a comcerned look.
Lianne scoffed. "Yeah whatever. You haven't lived through half of my hell."

*AFR took offence to that...* "Listen sister, we have all lived through our own hells before arriving here..." *AFR coughed and the similar tarrish stuff came out* "That's not right..." *AFR grew more upset and dropped to his knees getting into horrible coughing fits that left a nice little pool on the ground below him...*

Rose about had a heart attack when AFR dropped. She sat beside him, one hand on his back, the other over one of his own hands. "Afr??"
Lianne watched, curious and somewhat worried. "What's going on?"

*AFR shook and Rose could feel it... suddenly the robot he just made disappeared, as did a toaster oven, the TV, and a few other things AFR made with his jacket.*
"too much... I have used my power too much..." *AFR held Rose's hand* *The magic of Armok and the mark is battling leaving AFR's body tearing apart if he lets the littlest bit o it go...*

Rose put her head against his shoulder and squeezed his hand. She muttered quietly. She was saying a prayer in her native tongue. It had been years since Rose had prayed.
Lianne was still highly confused. "Don't most people just pass out when they use too much power??"

*This girl couldn't have understood, AFR had to let some things go to balance his power, so some more things dissappeared... Some of the Vehicles... but he had to keep the lights up... it was there only chance* "The lights... I must keep the lights up at any cost..." *AFR knew if any of the lights faultered it would kill them all... he wavered a bit...* "my... precious... Rose" *This was not good AFR had rolled to his side and the black liquid seep from his eyes.* "The lights must shine..."

It started to click in both Rose's and Lianne's mind. Roses mood shifted quickly, underlying rage towards Radiant made short pulses travel across the floor with Rose's energy. "Let the lights go AFR. We can fight these things. Let the lights go."
Lianne saw Rose's energy and put her hands to the floor. She was picking up Rose's energy and converting it.

*AFR nodded* "I..." *He removed the jacket and the jacks, the lights... they all disappeared from around the base... the man whiped at his eyes...* "It's done... " *The black liquid stopped flowing* "We will surely have to, Rose... fight for our lives..."

Rose stood up and offered a hand to AFR. She noticed the room was still lit up. She turned her head and saw Lianne.
Lianne had converted Rose's energy into balls of light. She grinned and floated them to corners of the kichen so it stayed bright
