We Are Our Avatars II Over. Done. Finished. Other synonyms for complete.

"I see... So command sends you and your squad to some desolate rock, and couldn't be assed to double check if there might not be any hostiles there. And when you flee the scene, saving some of your fellow soldiers to boot, they'd have the gall to say you're not doing your job propperly? ...I can see why you're not eager to go back.
Now... I'm wondering. Your lack of self-preservation... does that stem from the feeling that you failed your fellow soldiers back there?"

You seem ill at ease. What is the matter? John asked AEanna.

"I don't really care about your petty concerns or your insults. But your job, as you call it, is over. I've already killed the other warlords. I even left some of their family members alive. Of course, I made those members watch as I killed the rest. Their hatred will grow for me and one day I will return to harvest the ripened fruit of it. It is such a delicacy. Pure unadulterated hatred. Don't you think? Perhaps I'll go find some others to sew hatred in after I am done here. I think there are some people alive in North America. Or perhaps Australia?"

Jin walked over to Tanner's ship and sat up against it, while he placed the Soul Gem and Key of Solomon down to channel Spirit into it. "Just a few more days. I know it."

Something about those shadows... they seem like they do not belong. See how the locals glance so warily at them as they walk by? They should not be there. They are not simply clouds, and if they were the shadow of some great sea creature that lived here harmlessly, it wouldnot worry the dolphins so.

Roland shrugs, "Chronicler. And in truth, that's not much in multiversal standards."
The wallet in Rose's dress pocket seems to get heavier. It seems to call to Rose.

Doctor Com pulls out his laptop, and begins hacking into a satilite for no good reason.

OoC: Like I said, I dont know why, but I get the feeling that if this actually was condensed into a single story written by one guy, Four would be the protagonist or at least the poster character. Maybe it's cos she's had a bit of everything in the thread, maybe I'm biased and I like the character, but I just cant shake that feeling. Hats off to you @Drak.

 

[Saltyk]

OoC: @Gear I could very easily see Four being one of the major players and the "fan favorite" in such an event.

 

[Chungus]

So they do...
The madness has followed us here, no doubt. Seclusion will never shield one from the rest of the world for very long.

 

[Drakmorg]

@Gear: You like Four as a character? That's a relief. I was wondering what people thought of her as a character.

Rose started feeling her pockets getting weighed down by something. She pulled out the wallet and said, "Huh? What's this doing in here?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: TBH, with a cast this big, just writing a character that doesnt get lost in the shuffle or turns into a Black Hole Sue is notable. Tha's why I kinda wanna stop writing Laguna. He was pretty interesting at first, but he eventually turned into a Sue mentor, and nowadys he doesn't have that much to do.
@Drak Freaking love her. The hedonism can get a bit annoying at times, but dammit, I could never wrte a character like that so well, espically while juggling two others.

"It's not that simple. The military did recon, but we didn't see anything that would have suggested an attack like the one we got." I give a grim smile to Eddie. "I wish I could say 'I'm no psychologist' and avoid the question...but you may be on to something...No...no I didn't fail anyone..." I say to Eddie.

"People are plenty hateful in Australia, so you won't have to try hard." Sniper said to Satan, remaining defiant for some reason.

OOC: Sorry @Knife. I'm sure Australians are really lovely people.

AEanna got to her feet and tried to wring some of the water out of her clothing before taking her weapons from her satchel and attaching them to her belt.
No, it does not. Divines, we cannot let what happened to Rome happen here as well!

OOC: Gonna have to come off before very long. @Drak Both Four and Rose are pretty likeable, I agree.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OoC: @Gear I could very easily see Four being one of the major players and the "fan favorite" in such an event.

I can see this too.

 

[Wackymon]

Roland looks at the wallet, "That looks like your paycheck. I was wondering when you would get it."

The wallet contains 4 pounds of platinum.

Gaylor dawns his diamond sword, and Steve dawns a bow.
"Tell me, what is it?"

OoC: I really like Four's character. She's a good woman.

 

[Slenn]

OOC: Four's pretty dang good. Her feelings spread a wide variety of conflicts that flesh her out. I forget, how far along in the thread did Four appear? Was it in Paris or Stockholm? I think WAOA2 would work better split up into a trilogy if it was written as a book.

 

[Drakmorg]

OOC: Well I'm glad people like my writing.

"Wait, you mean I actually get paid for this? Why didn't I know about this sooner?" Rose asked.

@Slenn: It's been so long...I think it was back in Stockholm.

 

[Wackymon]

Roland shrugs, "I have no idea. Its for the same reason I don't fully understand how the universe works, we have to find things out as we go along."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: As I remeber, Reginald had One, Two, Three and Four as voices in his head late in Paris, and they got bodies in the first thrid of Stockholm.

 

[Saltyk]

"People are are quite hateful, Sniper. You just have to push the right buttons. The young are especially easy to manipulate this way. So, what buttons should I push of yours? Your dad thinks you're just a crazed gunman, doesn't he? Perhaps I should go visit him and show him and your mother what hatred is..."

OoC: @Drak Rose and Four have their hilarious moments. Four freaking out on catnip, for example. But they are also interesting and well fleshed out. Rose's reaction to Conall being offered power from Satan, as another.

 

[Chungus]

"Hmm... I'm temped to say they didn't do their research well enough, but then again, I don't know anything about the situation.
Anyway, where does this self-destructiveness come from then? Because even I can tell that ain't normal.
It's understandable that you feel a sense of guilt after a event like you went through. Don't you ever find yourself thinking; what if?"

Why should we do that? Helping these people would not benefit us, so why waste time in comming to their aid?
