Amadeus leads the others up to his room, he pulls out a key from a small pouch and unlocks the door. There was 3 months of dust on everything. "Wait out here." He holds his hands out and charges the air, literally using static electricity to gather the dust particles together. Then with the balls of dust in his hands he places them in a garbage can. "Alright, you're good now. Make yourselves at home."
Amadeus goes to the mini fridge and opens it up. "Grapping maulk!!! That gorram frakker!" He slams it shut, then grabs a glass off the top and puts some ice in it. Logan had drank all of Deus's alcohol... He places his stuff down on the bed and pulls out a mason jar with clear liquid in it. He pours some of the liquid into the glass and then heads towards the bathroom with a set of clothes he had grabbed.
"You fill her in on what you know Jon, I'll be cleaning up. But I'll still be able to hear and pipe up if I want to!" The door to the bathroom is left cracked open and he turns the shower on. This was one thing about being back that would be nice, a hot shower.

Roslyn had waited till he was done with the room and walked in. she wasn't surprised that logan had taken all of his beer i mean come on he had a back up encase he ran out. she just cracked half a smile and went to have a seat in a chair while she waited for Jon to say something. she really wanted to know what happened, neither of them were the same after that. elixir and mina lost their love of life and look like empty shells of a human with no soul. dues seems like he locked himself up on the inside and jon just seems more serious than usual. she smiled a bit trying not to laugh as she remembered the dance.. and those two acting like the idiots they are. it seems like it was so long ago and just a few months.
She knew she wouldn't get much from them but she knew she had to get at least some information.

"Well, where to start," says Jon after a moment. He wasn't pausing out of concern of nervousness, but because he couldn't find a damned seat in the mess that was Deus' room. Eventually he pushed some clothes off a wheely chair and sat down across from Ros, spinning around and pushing himself around the room for fun.
"We got the call from Elixir while we were both in the med lab as you remember," he begins, figuring starting from the beginning was likely the best way, "and we made our way to one of the back alley sewer grates and used that to head down to find Mina-"
Before he gets the next word out, Jon hits an instrument case hidden under a pile of clothes and towels, and topples over onto the floor.
"Owies..." he says, picking himself up.

The shower turns on, it was time to remove the grime. He smiles a little as he hears his friend hit the floor. It was a fleeting reaction though. As the water washes over him he closes his eyes, and sees another set of water. He could smell the sewers again. A shutter wracks his body and Deus forces his eyes open. He unclenched his fists and tried to just enjoy the shower, but it was hard. The dripping water kept taking him back every time he closed his eyes, no longer focusing on what's going on in the other room.

" yeah i remember that i tried to use some of my powers to trace you guys to the point of the sewers using the street cameras but lost you guys shortly after once the wires stopped so did i" and contrary to you guys believe I've heard some things about him remember i use to be in the middle of the crime world before i came here. I've seen stuff on the new, rumors about what that guys was but never knew what he looked like. " She went over to help him up and set the chair upright.

"Figured you would be," says Jon as he and Ros pick up the chair, "thanks for the hand, now where was I..."
He sits down again, trying to get his bearings on the story, "Oh right, I remember. Well, we headed down into the sewers, which are really quite spacious, I think we were in an old electrical hub or something, since it was too big for a sewer. But yeah, anyway, we ran into this other group of mutants down there, called themselves the Morlocks, after the creatures in the H.G. Wells novel. Only, instead of trying to eat us, they gave us a hand in exchange for a future favor."
He stops for a moment, and spins in the chair, thinking a bit.

It would be a few more minutes until he was done in the shower, especially since he had to recompose himself. Not to mention the extra scrubbing of his hair and skin. He was using a piece of pummice for both at first. Because of his desire to get clean and the fact he was distracted he ended up rubbing his skin raw in many spots. But that was a minor detail.

" Oh yeah that group i heard about that report trask was using it in this speech that was on tv so that was you guys that broke in there. huh that explains a few things. but what happened after that?" she sat in the middle of the bed and sat indian style as she looked at Jon.

"Well, that's about when the fun started," he says, his demeanor getting suddenly very serious, "we first ran into a dead end, to which I Kool-Aid Manned through," he smirks at this, snickers a bit, "well, there's a new verb for ya, Kool-Aid Manned."
He composes himself again, taking a moment to stop snickering, "and beyond, we ran into these defense bots, obviously not city issue, which attacked us, and we proceeded to make short work of."

Amadeus closes his eyes, and tilts his head into the stream of hot water, washing the grime all the way off. Then he shuts the water off. Steam was coming out of the shower and into the bedroom as Amadeus opens the shower door. He steps out and dries himself off. More of the images flash through his head, more vividly now that he could hear Jon talking better. Grabbing a towel he clears the mirror of condensation, then as he waits for it to clear more he gets his grooming supplies, shaver, scissors, brush, and comb. That would be the next step.

" So there was a lab or military facility down there?.. huh i had no idea about that. i would have to check old logs but i guess that's irrelevant at this point.so what else happened i mean he must have sent those things after you to buy time?"

"That's the thing though, it wasn't an old lab or base, at least it didn't seem like one," he says, "it looked rather like he just built the lab around the system, if that makes any sense."
He walked the chair closer to Ros, then slid across the room by pushing off of Deus' bed with his feet, "At that point, Elixir got himself hurt, and so we had him go back to the surface with the Morlocks as escorts, since they had done everything we had asked of them. That's when things went really downhill."

And so the cutting begins. He works quickly and efficiently with both the electric trimmers and the scissors. Then he moves to the razor for the face. He had cut his hair into an asymmetrical bob that was just long enough to be tied back. His facial hair, well, he cuts most of it off except for a small goatee, handlebar mustache and slight sideburns. It was very musketeer-esque.

She tried to wrap her head about what he was saying. thinking how he would have done it but she couldn't so she let it go. she hated to think that elixir got hurt but going against machines even his powers would be able to help they were non living beings.

"We managed to locate his control center," continues Jon, taking a moment to compose himself, it was like this part of the story was going to be awkward for him to relay, "and Deus and I had to split up, so if you want the whole story, I can't tell you what he saw or did."
Jon shifts in the chair for a second, and stretches a little as he continues, "I went to one of the far rooms, and ran into these...things..."
He stops for a moment, as if trying to think of how to explain them.
