We Are Our Avatars III (Ended!)

[Saltyk]

"I see. We seem to have something in common. Except I did train in martial arts with my adopted father as a child. I gained a great deal of experience fighting to protect people and defeat those that would harm them. It was a necessity. I learned the art of war firsthand." Riou looks at Rose, seeing that she looked a little down. "I'm sorry. You seem to miss your friend. This Eddie."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"[sub]...Uh...w-what did I s-say?[/sub]" Gerry asked Asha.

"...This may be a foolish question but...why? Why me?" Grace asked Four.

OOC: captcha= "mouth watering" .........No comment...

 

[Chungus]

How is thy arm, Greed? Dost thou miss it? Anger tauntingly asked Alicia
How is your body doing, do you miss it? Alicia retorted, still not impressed.

Erica was rather happy Anger was bothering Alicia instead of herself. She got up and resumed her search for the rest.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Yeah, I miss him a lot. I miss a lot of people from...back then." Rose said, her ears flattening a little. "But Eddie said he come back and visit me someday, and I know he'll keep his word." She said, perking back up almost immediately.

"You said 'okay'. At least I think you did. I, uh, I'm gonna ask again...do you want to see me naked?" Asha said to Gerry.

Four started caressing Grace's arm. "Well, you're beautiful, and kind, and you know how to make me feel good. I just kinda...feel like returning the favor." She said with a seductive purr.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Thank you, but...I will not lie...I find you very beautiful...but I am nervous...about being with you in such a way..." Grace said to Four.

Gerry found his throat was very dry all of the sudden, so he only nodded ever so slightly.

 

[Saltyk]

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up sad memories." Riou looked down as Rose's ears flattened. Hearing her perk back up, he looks back at her. "Well, it seems that you have something to look forward to, then. That is good." Sadly, all the people I knew are long dead. Except for the other Rune bearers.

 

[Skrag The Summoner]

OOC: Still in the void?

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Jort: Yup.
Kefka isn't though.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Oh? Well...we don't have to if you don't want. I wouldn't want you to feel bad about it or anything like that. If we were to do that, I'd want you to enjoy it." Four said as she stopped caressing Grace's arm.

"I...I'm gonna be honest, I don't really know how to respond to that." Asha said. She sat down on the edge of the bed. "Uh, d-do you...want to see anyone else naked, like...Rose, for example?"

"Yep! It's always good to have something to look forward to. Do you have anything like that?" Rose asked.

 

[Saltyk]

Riou looks down and away from Rose. "I have lived for over 100 years. All the people that I sought to protect and who I fought alongside are... but memories. Viktor, Flik, Shu, Apple. The only people I know that are still alive also bear True Runes."

 

[Outisakanobody]

Gerry suddenly felt like he had dug himself a deep hole. "[sub][sub]...I...I think I made a mistake...haven't I...I am...very, very sorry[/sub][/sub]" he said as he looked down at the ground.

"...It is not that I am afraid I would feel bad..." Grace said to Four.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Oh. Now I'm the one who has to say sorry for bringing up sad stuff." Rose said apologetically with a small chuckle.

"No, if anyone made a mistake it was me. I...shouldn't have asked you about stuff like that." Asha apologized to Gerry as she put an arm around his shoulder.

"Well then what are you so nervous about?" Four asked as she started leaning closer to Grace.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"It...it would be my fist time...and I am not even sure I share your...sexual preference..." Grace said quietly to Four.

Gerry just remained silent.

 

[Saltyk]

"It's fine. It's not like you knew. Just another curse of the True Runes. Immortality. I can never die, though I can be killed." Riou noticed the chuckle, but didn't mention it.

OOC: And I just realized that I forgot to name his sister in that list.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Well, if you don't want to...I won't try and force the issue." Four relented. She let go of Grace and leaned away from her so they were just sitting next to each other.

"Immortality? I...think I get it." Rose said. "And you're over 100? Wow. I don't even think I could imagine living so long."

"Hey, we're both sorry. So let's just cheer up. What do you want to do?" Asha asked, trying to put the awkwardness behind her.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Gerry only shrugged. He really had no idea what to do.

"Wait...I...I would like to...try it." Grace said, steeling her resolve.

 

[Saltyk]

"I didn't think I could either. It's not all bad, though. I did get to travel the world with my best friend, Jowy, and my sister Nanami. We saw many places, people and things together. So, there have been good times." Riou says hoping to brighten up the mood.

 

[Drakmorg]

Four's face lit up. But she felt she had a responsibility to ask, "You sure? I don't want you to feel pressured or anything."

Asha started idly playing with Gerry's hair.

"Well that's nice. Always good to have pleasant things to look back on. But do you have anything to look forward to is the question? What's driving you to keep going?" Rose couldn't help but ask.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"No...I mean yes. It is apart of Nyx's teachings to be open to new experiences...though...you will have to take the lead I am afraid..." Grace said as a blush crept across her face.

Gerry leans on Asha without really thinking,

 

[Saltyk]

"That is a good question..." Riou looks at his right hand. "The only person from my old life that is still alive is my friend, Jowy. Beyond that, I guess it's helping people. It's all I can really do."

Elsewhere, the man with the staff walks alone. He looks at his right hand. "Just what is the desire of the Black Sword Rune in this realm? What does it seek? I'm still not sure..."
