We Are Our Avatars IX: Act V: The Sabotage of the Scandolous Saurian Scoundrels (Open)

[Kirke]

Spoiler: Previously (Kinda)

When you get approached by Sophia, you raise your glass in greeting to her. She asks you to take her and the others to the island of Great Britain. After a little thought, you agree, if you can be part of the bounty hunting. When she has left, you finish your drink and head back to your ship to get it ready.

Once everyone got on board the Sworder IV, you raise the ramp and take off. The living compartment of the Sworder IV is quite cramped, only two and a half metres wide and twelve metres long, with a ceiling height of 2,5 metres. It has seats along both sides that can be folded down. You tell all aboard the ship to strap in as you plot a course for England and blast away.
OoC: Edit: I got the numbers wrong.

"If the Engineer was here we could a just teleported ta London." Tavish said, uncomfortable in such a cramped space.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus sat on one of the chairs, deactivating her suit to save space and strapping in. She looked at Tavish, interested in what he said."I wasn't aware you had that technology back then."

 

[Drakmorg]

Vicky didn't seem too uncomfortable with how small a space she had been given to sit.

"So how's this thing supposed to work?"

 

[Slenn]

OOC: Awww.... a wild Goku appeared, Kirke posted we got on the ship, and I wasn't there to chat with him.

Before EMily walked to the stairs to get on the ship, she greeted Goku with her name and curtseyed. She informed him that she's with a party of 3 to turn in a criminal.
"Sorry I have to go soon. I'd like to chat with you sometime later." She made a genuine smile before leaving.

On the ship she strapped in for the ride.
"I hope the jet lag won't be so bad." She humorously commented.

 

[Saltyk]

"Maybe I should have just flown..." Goku said, a bit uncomfortable in the cramped space.

 

[Kirke]

You call back to Vicky that this is a old-fashioned ship, the last great ship to use chemical rockets. You also say to EMily that she probably doesn't need to worry, since you have already crossed over to the mainland and will be at the destination in a few hours. You are not sure who the person in orange with spiky hair is, but due to the concentration required for atmospheric flight you can't talk to him now.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus looked over at Goku, examining the martial artist, before turning to EMily. "This ship was built for space travel, correct? I'm afraid a large amount of jet lag is almost garunteed." As she was immediately corrected, however, she stayed quiet and looked downward in what almost seemed like embarrassment.

 

[Slenn]

"Ah, very good then." She said to Shara.

"Oh! You decided to tag along, Goku." She nodded.

 

[Saltyk]

"Sophia had already invited me along. Besides, there are some strong people here." Goku replied to EMily with a grin. He didn't seem to mind Samus's inspection.

 

[Zepherus14]

When the ship took off and Sophia was strapped in, she held onto the chair straps tightly, her eyes shut too. She had sat in one of the corner seats.

 

[Slenn]

"Oh that's right. My apologies."

"I saw that you were quite the eater. You must have a big appetite if you train yourself to be a fighter for days on end."

 

[Drakmorg]

Vicky gave Shara a blank-faced stare (As much as she could anyway, as I don't know the layout)

"What are those?"

She asked.

 

[Saltyk]

"No worries." Goku said with a innocent smile. When she asked about his appetite, he paused and placed his right hand on his stomach. "I've always eaten like that. Honestly, I could have used a bit more food."

He then gave her a curious look, with his head half cocked to the side. "How did you know I was a fighter?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus noticed Sophia in the corner, eyes shut. "Are you alright?" she asked.

 

[Slenn]

"I overheard you mention to Sophia that you trained under a few martial arts masters. Plus your physique and your clothes are indicative of a person who does martial arts."

 

[username sucks]

Tavish look at Samus and cocked his head to the side. "Didn't ya ever go ta school? The first teleporters were invented not long after old Abraham Lincoln invented stairs, back in 1870. Try reading a book sometime." Tavish said to Samus.

"I know I need ta get to London ta blow up- eh, capture this 'Darren' guy, but why is everyonecoming along?" Tavish asked, looking around at everyone in the ship. "Just ta be clear, nobody is gonna take my bounty. I took the job, an'-" Tavish stopped as he noticed Goku for the first time.

"The hell is wit yer hair, man?"

Massai Mara, Kenya - 3:59 AM​

Grazing through the African plains and moving back into the folliage, the bug raised its head and sniffed the air as it picked up a new scent, coming from a multitude of sources, concentrated and concentrated from an area nearby. Following the scents, the bug saw the source sleeping high up in the trees, a troupe of Chacma baboons. Where they would be safe from their natural predators there, the height offered no protection from the bug.

Climbing up the tree in which the most baboons were nestled, the bug masked its scent to match the baboons, and circled around for a moment when it neared them as it thought of the most effective means of taking down a prey. Taking its time, with the baboons being oblivious to its pressence as they slept.

Deciding on a method, the bug crept up to two baboons sleeping close together, and grabbed one by the right leg, and the other by the right arm with its pincers, pulling the two off form the branch they were laying on and dropping them, letting them plumit to their deaths.

With the rest of the troupe waking up by the shrieks of the two baboons that had fallen, the bug moved down the tree, not wanting to face down the troupe who were fifty or so strong. Moving backwards to save time, the bug touched down on the ground, grabbed the two corpses of the baboons that had fallen, then ran away, dragging the corpses behind it.

Once a suficient distance away, the bug stopped, exhaled through its nostrils, then began eating the baboons.

 

[Zepherus14]

Hearing her name being mentioned, Sophia opened one of her eyes and glanced around the room before noticing that Samus had been talking to her. "[small]Uh... not really.[/small]" She timidly responded, opening up her other eye to look Samus' way. "[small]I-I'll be ok though.[/small]" She tried to show a smile, but it only seemed to make her looked a bit more anxious.

 

[Saltyk]

Goku looked down at his dogi for a moment. Then, back up to EMily. "I suppose you do have a point. Though, you don't dress as such and I can tell that you're pretty powerful, too." He said with a smile.

When Tavish commented on his hair, Goku looked at him and then placed both hands on his head. "What do you mean?" He asked with genuine concern.
