SEASON OF PLUNDER

Space pirates? Space pirates.




Strap in for some ketchcrash, or stop by the Ether Tank for a drink! Or maybe the Eliksni outside could use some help with the gardening or babysitting some adorable hatchlings? Feel free to use this thread for whatever shenanigans you want, I'm not your mom.

Remember to mark any spicy threads and to THROW MORE GRENADES!

It is still something of a surprise to see Guardians tending to the hatchlings and that so many trusted them to do so. He bows slightly to the Warlock in greeting. "Things are... as settled as they can be."

There are things he must do to truly make things right and the danger has not gone. If anything, it has increased. He came to see the hatchlings to remember why he has changed and what the future of the Eliksni looks like. Perhaps it is fate that the Guardian is here with them.

"Have they been good for you?" he asks as he crouches down close to the Guardian.

Mithrax makes a soothing sound for the hatchlings as he reaches out and removes the little one from the Guardian's back. He tucks it into the crook of a secondary arm while holding it close to his chest. He grabs at some parts of his armor but there's nothing the hatchling can grab that will hurt it.

"They find it easy for their claws to grip," he explains. "They will do the same to any fur or fabric."

Already, the hatchlings are stronger than any human child of the same age. With a mostly steady supply of ether they will grow stronger quickly and Mithrax hopes safely.

"We can find another caretaker if you are ready to return to the Vanguard."

"I merely make the offer," he explains as he inclines his head towards her. "You have important work to do for the Great Machine. I would not keep you from it because there are hatchlings to tend to."

There are always hatchlings to tend to and in Eliksni society many to take care of them. Parenting was shared, though there were few Guardians who took to the task. Saint was surprisingly good at it given his horrific reputation. And Wanda was as well.

"But if you wish to stay longer you are welcome." The Guardians of the Last City wander freely through the Eliksni Quarter. "Do you need anything? You have been kept rather busy with this group, I imagine."

Water is easy enough to come by. The City has freely shared that from the beginning. It is ether that is always the worry in Mithrax's mind.

He rises without a word, hatchling still tucked in the crook of his secondary arm. There is a tea set the caretaker kept in this room. Mithrax takes one of the cups and fills it with water. He lets it run a moment until it is refreshingly cold.

"Here." He offers her the cup after filling it. "Have you not eaten?"

There were some human foods in the Eliksni quarter. More than before because Guardians came with more frequency now. Saint, when not tending to Osiris, was a regular sight. As was Lord Shaxx and Ikorakel.

"We share what we can with those who share with us," Mithrax says, his tone gentle but firm. The Guardians who helped the Eliksni never accepted any payment and while the charity was appreciated he felt the debt he owed them growing and growing, never to be repaid.

He rose again to fill the teapot with cold water and bring it back to Wanda so that she could refill her cup.

"I can make you something simple." He couldn't make anything very complicated as they didn't have much but even in this little home of a hatchling caretaker there was enough to share with one Guardian. And he could do so while holding a hatchling. Mithrax has a lot of practice.

"If they become hungry, they will let us know. A steady supply of ether is more important at this of their growth." Mithrax rises and offers Wanda a hand. "Come. We will go to the kitchens."

The homes here are strange to Eliksni. They are separate, small, and divided. Many of the changes they have made have been to tear down walls and connect the buildings to make larger, more communal spaces. There is a communal kitchen where they can cook with the hatchlings though they may be taken by other Eliksni. Everyone raises the hatchlings.

"If you were making a burden for us, we would tell you Guardian." Mithrax waits for Wanda to join him before heading towards the kitchens.
