Last summer:
A Normal Day (In which Mz, Charricthran and Millie compete in a fighting tournament on another planet), on Mz. Hyde's birthday which I think is at midsummer?
Last autumn:
Halloween party (Or, The morning after the night before) (two strands, one with Millie and one with Dr Griffin), autumn some time.
Whispers and Clockwork Curiosities (Millie's Christmas shopping), November.
Recently:
Red Death Scare (Dr. Ezekiel accidentally let an infected rat loose, Hela and Lewis caught it, Millie works to cure the virus).

"Good... Good to hear!" Millie answered back.
She looked back down at her hands, still trembling but not as much as a few seconds ago. She clinched them into fists and tightly closed her eyes taking another deep breath.
You can do this... Just focus on the work... Nothing else... Just work as usual...
She started focusing her mind on only the memories of her previous research from years ago, then while her brain immersed itself in the more agreeable memories she picked her instruments back up and resumed her work. It was almost ready, just a little more work done and all she would need was to let it grow enough and quickly test it before giving it to the others.
"I'm about ready for the second blood tests." She announced.

Hela uncurled herself only slightly, holding out her arm so Lewis could do what was needed.
She squeezed her eyes tighter shut, thinking of when she first was given her pet and he could easily fit in the palms of her hands.
“Go ahead, I know you have to.”

Ez sat down reluctantly. "I'm so sorry about all of this..." 
Not again, not again, I don't want this to happen again...
Jekyll1886 Litterateur • 4 days ago
Actions speak louder than words, came the unbidden thought, though Weir did not voice it.
Concentrate on the task at hand. Concentrate on the task at hand.
"Let's get this done."
He took Hela's blood, then Ezekiel's, and handed the new samples to Millie.
"Let us know if we can be of any further assistance, no matter how small the task or unusual the request."

"Thank you." Millie said as she took the new blood test and put it under the microscope like the first ones. She was pleased to see that the venom was helping the blood keep the ability to clot unlike the untreated samples, which would help keep the blood from becoming so thin that it would cause internal bleeding and to sweat out of the body, but this was still only a temporary fix as she saw the little parasites fight even harder to finish thier job. A very small part of her wondered if there was any curitive possibilities of this desies if recreated right. She had no time to be curious however, she was reminded as she switched back to her work. As she started to finish her procedure she got another reminder when she heard a tiny scratching sound and saw it was the mouse scratching at his jar looking much more worse for wear then he did earlier. The pathetic sight retriggerd some of those terrible memories, she blinked hard and shook her head vigorously.
"A-actuly Lewis... I would like for you to you lot to do something for me..." She paused hessitenth before her request, "Could you have a talk with me...? It can be about anything... I just..." She trailed off as she tried to focus long enough to get the finishing touches in place before she could enqubate the cure.

Hela sank back into her daydreams once more with a shivering sigh, refusing to acknowledge the dread crawling up her throat.
She was already unless, she didn’t need to be a distraction as well.

Ez leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes. He hoped that whatever Millie was doing was working.

((XDDD That drawing is awesome!
As to Lewis...trust me, he's only calm on the surface--like a swan looking graceful as it glides by when in truth it's paddling like mad beneath the water.))
"Certainly," Weir answered Millie. "I saw some rabbits of very unusual color the other day in the garden. Might they be yours, by any chance?"
With a cold shiver, he realized he'd begun to sweat.

Millie perked up at the recollection of the topic, " Yes actually! You remember me mention what I was going to show in the exhibition? That was one of my experiments! Nothing to fear though they're completely harmless." She exaimed as she finally finished and set the petri dish under a portable black light to breed as she set the timer for a little under ten minutes.
"Usually keep them in a pen close to the garden but one sort of wonderd off.... When I dozed off..... While peting it..." One could hear the embarrassment in her voice if they were listening for it, "Did you catch it? It's quite docile!"

At the mention of rabbits, Hela raised her head from where she had been sitting with her face buried in her knees, blinking somewhat blearily at Lewis.
“What sort of col—?”
She cut off with a sharp cry of pain and wrapped her arms around her torso, sinking onto her side as dizziness suddenly overwhelmed her.

“Hela?” he said, turning his head to see her clutching her torso.
Oh god, it’s already started.
He looked at the clock. 1 hour and 15 minutes to go.

Lewis had been about to answer about the rabbit when Hela abruptly cut herself off in pain.
"Hela?" he cried.
He rushed to her side and knelt down, gently putting his hands on and under her to help ease her position and enable her to catch her breath.
"Breathe gently now. I have you."
He turned toward the door and, beyond it, Millie.
"How long before the treatment is ready?" he asked her, a hint of desperation creeping into his voice despite his efforts to appear calm.
He addressed Ezekiel in like tone. "How long do we have before things are past the point of no return?"

The forest around them was silent, in the same sort of way that a game of hide and seek was silent.
Apprehension and hidden eyes pressed down like a hand poised to smother and choke.
And still, nothing moved. Nothing spoke.
Nothing spoke, except for the faint rustle of leaves and underbrush, directly off to their right.

Millie could hear their faint movements but didn't look in the noise's direction, rather charging in head first she held herself back even going as far as grabbing Mz. Hyde's arm to keep her from making that mistake. She steadily reached down and picked up a large rock, then still listening to the signs of hiddin life aimed and threw the rock in the direction of the sounds with a speed that cut through the air like a hot knife through butter. She heard it suddenly make contact with something beound the leaves.
"Yes!" She hissed under her breath.

The woods were eerily silent for a time. Nothing but a faint breeze and the rise and fall of Millie and Mz. Hyde's breaths stirred, no movement could be seen.
An explosion of foliage and feathers broke the trees, revealing a group of four Nasir in the middle of an airborne battle. They seemed to pay the two below them little mind, though two of them shared a glance and a slight nod in their direction.
The blows exchanged were all done by quarterstaff or fist. There was a snap and an enraged cry, and one of the Nasir broke off from the group, left arm dangling uselessly by their side.
The woods breathed again, eerie stillness lost. The sensation of watching, however, returned.

"Well that was eventful..." Millie commented after seeing the areal battle that just happened over them. She did feel a little bad for the Nasir that broke his arm but her mind went back to the cheater she just beamed with her rock.
"We have our pray to get first."
They pushed through the overgrowth where Millie threw the rock, there they found what they were after.
An unconscious Nasir laid sprawled on the ground, in they're open left palm was a long nerrows tube and next to the fingertips of there right hand was another dart.
"Ah!" Millie smirked at the sight of the body, "And caught red handed no less." She said as she picked took the dart and the straw out of they're hands. As she carefully examined the dart between her thumb and forefinger an idea illuminated in her mind.
"I wonder, can these pierce stone?"

Who knows? Test it out on that boulder right there!

Charricthran had been busy at work while the others had been occupied in the forest: Of the many, many contestants that had entered the arena, roughly a quarter of them had been taken out by their fellows,and several more had been picked off by Charricthran in the aftermath of those fights.
It was a close call in certain instances- he had been ambushed while ambushing a particularly notorious fighter by the name of Amitiel, who was known for their martial arts prowess.
The three fellows behind him were less so renown, almost clumsy by comparison. Regardless, the two or so minutes needed to finish them off drained his concentration, and had allowed Amitien to notice the disturbance and turn his ambush back on himself.
It was fortunate, then, that Amitien recognized and immediately underestimated him. He had long since shed his feathered visage, and was small and thin in comparison to the Nasir. Many of them were proud almost to the point of being arrogant- they never expected someone one to three feet shorter than, and much less muscled than them to overcome them so easily.
It was only ever the seasoned and less prideful fighters that learned that those hollow bones of theirs really could be such a nuisance sometimes.
Charricthran stepped under the fifth punch thrown at him (three dodged, one taken for the sake of pursuing this opening), then bunched himself under Amitien's center of gravity and lunged.
There was a satisfying 'SMACK' as Amitien flew into a boulder some yards away, where he could just make out the outlines of two familiar figures between the gaps in the leaves.
With Amitien out of the way, Charricthran estimated that approximately a quarter of the original fighters remained. The battle so far had lasted nineteen minutes and forty-four seconds.
A perfectly normal length battle, then. Good- it meant the crowds would be entertained without being bored.
He slipped once more into the shadows, lest Millie throw a rock at him next.
~*~
Not two seconds after Mz. Hyde pointed at the boulder than a seven foot tall Nasir went flying into it with a loud 'SMACK', refusing to rise after they stirred once with a low groan.
The forest fell silent once more, the distant roar of combat like the sound of buzzing bees.

"'He'. Right." Isabella gave
an embarrassed laugh. "The fact is," she confessed, "from the things 
I'd heard from people, I'd become completely confused about whether Dr 
Rose was a man or a woman! And one hardly likes to ask in so many 
words!" She stole another glance at Dr Rose.
"Actually," she 
continued, "somebody or other was telling me he was some kind of a magic
user? but they didn't know the details. Is that true, do any of you 
know?"
((Sorry for the long absence. PS Is Dr Rose wearing a dress, 
can anyone remember? Can't find where they arrived in this thread. Just 
for the implications for precisely how surprised Izzy is.
MillieGriffin , your turn.))

((Ah,
right, so...I don't know if Dr. Rose is in costume or not--and, if so, 
whether the costume includes a dress. Under normal/everyday 
circumstances, when Dr. Rose has come in an official capacity to the 
Society, he's been wearing trousers. He did once show up to the 
Valentine's Ball in a dress, though. So I suppose it depends. I can't 
recall if it was ever officially said what he's wearing this particular 
day. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, perhaps assume 
trousers?))
"I fancy it depends what the fine line is between 
'magic' and 'unusual ability', if that makes sense," offered Lewis. "I 
do know it has something to do with healing. You could always ask him, I
suppose."
((The Fox))
" Wait...I thought they were a Gentleman. "
The lawyer gave a bewildered look to the rest of them.
"
So I was told anyways. One of the lodgers here certainly made it seem 
that way. Or are they one of those odd sorts, the sort who dress like 
the other. "
Utterson's forehead wrinkled in thought.
" Not 
that it's any bother to me. I just don't want to be impolite in any 
way. If I were to address them incorrectly, I'd just about kick myself!
"
He finished his glass of ale with a hiccup.
" Though before I meet anyone I should probably get some water first. "

"Well, this is mostly supposed to be a costume party, so I'd assume it's part of their Halloween costume... although I could have sworn I remembered... " Whatever it was she remembered seemed to elude her. "At least they are a Doctor, so I suppose that that mostly solves the problem of how to address them!"
"Anyway, if I don't get something to eat I shall drop. Those potatoes do look good." She moved off towards the buffet.
((((and that's me off, and I suppose this can wrap anywhere you like. MillieGriffin or Jekyll1886 ))

"A fair point," Lewis agreed, as to the manner of address for Dr. Henry Rose.
Weir ushered Utterson to the pitcher of water and the party continued on.
((MillieGriffin -- you're up, unless you'd like to end things here.))
