the time bomb under the couch continued to tick down

She scoots the timebomb out from under the couch with the broom.

"This seems to be where the ticking is coming from. I think it's a bomb."

There's a really, really odd calm about the way she says it.

"I'll handle it."

She focuses and the blue tattoos glow iridescent, a moment before dropping to her knees catatonic. The ticking doesn't stop, but a few clicks are heard, then Malem regains consciousness.

"It's done. The timing mechanism is still going, but i internally disconnected the timer from the detonator and explosives. It's a good thing I wasn't too late."

"And I am Alexander Campbridge. Most people just use my family name but to tell you the truth, I could't care less what you call me," said the man dressed in red.
Somewhere around that time, Ven backed up and hit his leg. Campbridge stared at him for a second, wondering why he had done that when he too noticed the other person at the top of the stairs introducing herself.
"Hello there Caly!" he said with the same enthusiasm from before. "So hum...What exactly is happening around here? And...a bomb?" he said, just after finding out about it.  

[xXBeginnerXx]

ending sighs in disapointment as she sees the bomb disarmed
and calls to the clan "good job there! just you wait and ill get a rematch sometime!"

and walked out of the area

a soot sprite that didnt leave right away flew in front of cad, stuck its tongue out and fluttered away laughing

She moved aside away from the door so they would be able to cross over the threshold, a smile still on her face as she replied, "Nothing really has been happening as of yet. I believe the others just found and disabled a bomb, though I haven't really paid much attention. I'm here for restoring the house and gardens as a member of the Clan." she briefly nodded at the plant she held, "This one I have here is just one of the various ones I will be taking care of and putting in a place they would be of most use to us." she added.

"Yes, there's a clan here now. I am actually not sure how long, though I don't think for an extended period of time, considering that the place is just now being looked over and repairs noted and put on a list." she said truthfully. "Why don't you come meet the rest of the group?" she asked as she took a few steps towards the lobby from which she could still hear the others.  

[Zemblanity Insomnia]

Campbridge didn't say anything while Ven and Caly were talking. It wasn't really like him, who would usually annoy the people around him with his speech. However, this place had some air of mystery and the people around here were of different races. This was quite a little jewel he had found here. Spending some time in this place would probably be in his best interest. Who knows what he could find here-- maybe even the way to open "it".

"I would gladly like to meet your group, Miss," he told her as he walked in her direction. "You're coming, Ven?" he asked the little man as he started moving.
 

[Kokuwagata]

"Hmmm...anyone need a clock?"

She plucks the wires from the timer, which have a faded bluish tinge to them, an aftereffect of her "wired soul" enhancements.

As for the explosives, she gingerly handles those and walks off to the kitchen and fills a stray paint can with water. She then places the bricks of explosive in it after removing the blasting caps. She takes the blasting caps and puts them on the counter. She then seals up the bucket using the lid, and hammers the lid shut. She then takes the blasting caps and then gingerly wraps them in thick layers of newspaper. That nut could be using something as dangerous as lead azide to prime the timebomb. She picks up the wad of paper and paint bucket and returns to the main room.

"Can someone dispose of these things? The paintbucket you don't need to be too careful with, at least for the next 10 years, after that it'll start oozing nitroglycerin and jarring the thing will cause anything nearby to be blown to bits. This paper wad has a blasting cap in it and if you drop it too hard, you'll most likely lose a limb. Which is why it's wrapped in many layers of paper."

"Oh more visitors. Welcome." She bows slightly to Alexander, while still gingerly cradling the two packages.

Campbridge slightly tilted his head and raised his hat using his cane as a way to return the greeting of the person who just talked to him. At that moment, he head a little noise that came from Ven's fall. He made a little compassionate smile and went back to help him get up.
"Are you alright, Ven?" he asked, but then returned to the woman who was looking for a way to dispose of those two items. "I can easily get rid of them for you," he told her.  

[Kokuwagata]

"Ah good."

She hands Campbridge the two packages.
