Dahlia stops ticking and bubbling now that things are calming down and goes to sit against a wall. She looks tired.

Nellie lets out a breath of relief, following after Dahlia. "You okay?"

" Are there any spiced drinks?" Karma asked. He could go for a drink maybe it's calm him.

Ophelia looked over to Nellie and Dahlia nervously, reaching out for her briefcase and grabbing it. She laid it on the counter behind her, sighing contentedly and chuckling. "I do not know if there are any spiced drinks, but I do know this wine is rather nice. The sweetness reminds me of before the fall."

"We have some spiced cider, if that's to your liking," offers Hana. "But it is definitely a bit alcoholic."

After it finishes brewing, he moves his cup up to his mouth and splashes it against the houndskull bascinet he's using as a mask... But he seems satisfied.

"Oo, both sound quite nice actually... Maybe I'll try the wine?" Karma replied. He did enjoy himself some good wine.

"I was just stressed from everyone being stressed, and now I'm tired from being stressed and turning my sphere on. It gets warm because of whatever is wrong with it."

"Is it like a pacemaker? Or..." her eyes widen. "Wait, are you like an Iron Man?"

Hana nodded, grabbing a cup from the random collection that they had and pouring Karma a mug of spiced cider. She passes it to Karma, nodding respectfully. "I hope it puts you back in the partying mood!"

"Oh, no, it's just a thing I found. I think normally a person would hold it to use it, but it gets too hot for most people and I don't want to carry it everywhere by hand. I'm kind of liquid, so I just store it inside me. I can still use it that way, and I can help keep it cold enough that it doesn't break more."

Nellie glances around to make sure no one is too close, then whispers, "Can I look at it?"

Ophelia looked to Karma and his newfound cup of cider, standing to her feet and walking over. He seemed kind enough to her. "My name is Ophelia. I'm a nurse and apothecary!" She grinned, sipping on her wine from behind the veil her rabbit-like mask had on it.

" thank you, Hana. " Karma said, trying to be polite. It felt strange being polite to humans, since he was literally raised to do harm them. But he's wasn't really ever in the mood to be violent usually. He gratefully took the cup, taking a sip from it. Then looked up at Ophelia. "A pleasure to meet you... I'm a royal captain of the guard... In my world anyways. How is it being an apothecary. ..?"

"Guard? Guard of what?" Shadow asked.

"It's an amazing experience. It is nice to mix the old style of treatment with the newer styles. I mostly make my own remedies, but I do carry pain killers in pill for. A royal captain, though... you intrigue me," She swished her wine around in the glass, struggling to stay still.

"A royal guard of the surface, where my Queens rule the land of monsters." He replied to Shadows question.

"... Surface of what?"

The muffled sound of moaning, soon followed by the pip pap of snipers is heard from outside as a small horde begins to shamble into the area, starting to press against the outer fence. Hana's jaw tightens as she glances toward the door, but she raises a hand to reassure everyone. "No one panic. We planned for this."

"A land of monsters... the surface... it reminds me of where I am from. Coming to this world was no mistake, though. I truly enjoy it here, despite the zombies. Where are you from?" There was no apprehension in her voice; she simply seemed curious of Karma's origins. Then her attention sparked at the sound of the shots. "More zombies? They will not get in, correct, Lady Hana?"
