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

[Demonjazz]

Dace was a fairly good flier and Dave was a fairly good gunner so with the both of them they dodged and blew up more than a couple missiles but a few still hit his engines and he started plummeting back to Earth. Luckily Dace's ship was sturdy enough not to be completely obliterated by the landing. Though it was still quite beat up and he suffered more than a few injuries.

'That's horrible, why would they do such a thing!' Sophia thought before she started to clue in on a scary possibility. 'Wait... did they do all this... themselves?' She glanced around at the surrounding city line that she could manage to make out.

"Like I said, business ain't been the same." Sundowner said to Gwen. "We were hired by some warlord, but that's not the only reason we took the job. This place's getting a bit too peaceful. Sometimes you gotta give it a little poke to make things profitable again." He looked at the Medic. "Never was one for learning. Course, never had the chance, but this is much better anyways."

<color=purple>"I'm sorry, but that is by far the dumbest reason to get money if I ever heard one. Such recklessness will bite you in the end."

"Vhell, only two years educations, and even a drunk scotsman can become vun! Vhy vould you bother your time vit,..." he said, disgustingly gesturing to the suroundings, "DEEZ, vhen you could be making a fortune vitout risking being killed? Or, if you vant it zhat vay, vit constant risk? Ze warmongering, ze murdering and ze destroying, zhat is all fine and dandy, but I find zhat three things are generally more entertaining: Politics, science, and Demolitions. Not to mention brilliant health benefits, I mean, I could loose an arm and have it paid for. Do you zhink zhat is vortless? And vhat vit your implants, Engineer could probably make you into a thinking machine! you could crunch numbers, know more about ze vorld zhen ANYVUN else! Zou are so very, VERY stupid to not even consider it!"

 

[Drakmorg]

"Okay, I've heard enough."

Vicky raised up her left arm and pointed at Sundowner.

"I'm gonna kill you,"

She turned to the side to point at Minuano, look at him, and say,

"I'm gonna kill you, and then I'm gonna kill [i]aaaall[/i] the other shit-stains that you two savages associate with."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"What, y'all never heard of supply and demand?" Sundowner asked Gwen incredulously. He looked at the Medic, pointing one of his machetes at him. "You ain't listenin..." His voice had dropped to a low, gravelly growl. He laughed when Vicky threatened him. "I'd like to see you try, girly."
Minuano feigned shock and hurt at her words, before giving what could only be described as a massive shit-eating grin.

Spoiler: And it was glorious.

 

[Wackymon]

"Oh, vhell, I sometimes fail to do so, I just find zhat causing a var isn't as easy as you might zhink, vhat vit ze funding and ze shooting and ze bullets and ze econamy and ze hats and keeping it from dying out, I tried vunce, failed miserably. So I don't vecomend it." he said, his medi-gun having a spark at the end of it.

Tavish remained silent, still not decided on which cyborg he would attack first. He assumed a combat stance, holding the cursed claymore with both hands in front of himself.

"Doctor, I dun think reasonin' wit dem is workin'." Tavish said to medic, but loud enough for everyone to hear. "Ya best get ready fer a fight."

Tavish looked at Vicky with a smile on his face. "Which one you gonna take on, lass? I'll get the other."

 

[Slenn]

"We'll have to dish out everything we've got against these guys if we fight them."

<color=purple>"If these guys want to try and fight us: Waste 'em." She said coldly. Both of them started gathering energy.

OOC: I say we hold off the fight for tomorrow. I'll be off.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Alright."

Vicky shut her eyes for a moment and breathed deeply. She formed a field of psionic energy around her left arm, which manifested its appearance as a faint, transparent red glow. The moment after that, she immediately charged for Sundowner, running in a serpentine pattern to conceal the angle of attack she was aiming for. She let her actions be her reply to Tavish.

Deciding to ildulge its curiousity, bug spend its time wandering and exploring to kill time, abstaining form devouring anything Moving along the Mara river, the bug approached it and looked down, not needing to lower it head to do so due to its 360. degree vision. While looking at the water flowing, it occured to the bug that although it knew what water was, it didn't quite know how it tastes. Opening its mandibles, it licked up some water with its lengthy tongue. Moving what water it labbed up around in its mouth, the bug found it to be entirely bland and spat it back out, then moved on.

Deciding to head back to the Mara conservancy to see if the rangers had stopped hiding away yet. After a little while, it moved back into the foliage surrounding the conservancy from the south-east. Climbing into one of the trees, the bug found that against its hopes, the rangers hadn't left either building they were biding their time in. Snorting, the bug took out its first rifle out of its bag, then secured the bag to the branch it was sitting on with a thread of webbing. It looked if anyone was looking out of the U-shaped building its windows, and glided down into the main compound when it found that wasn't the case.

Since this was the conservancy's HQ, they had to have fuel stored away, the bug figured. Moving around while being weary of someone possibly looking outside, the bug began entering nearby buildings and looking around in them. Where it found blue objects, the bug was tempted to take them, but resisted, knowing it had better things to do. Entering one building, the bug found a radio that was turned on and broadcasting the national afternoon news. Not finding what it was looking for,the bug turned around and mentioning both international affairs, and national ones, specifically the appearance of the interdimensional bounty shops appearing all over the country. The bug paid some attention to the reports, before moving on.

Poking its head out of the door opening, but didn't leave as it saw a ranger looking out of a window. Snorting a little, the bug took aim and shot the ranger, a bloodstain on the wall opposite the ranger confirming the bug had hit him. It waited a little longer to see if anyone else would show their face, and moved on when it saw this wasn't the case.

After seeing Victoria attack Sundowner, Tavish turned to face Minuano. He gave his opponent a grin, his eyepatch glowing brighter than ever, before letting out a yell and charging with the enhanced speed from the Eyelander.

OoC: Off for the night.

As tensions boiled over on the battlefield, everyone might feel a pair of eyes on them. The person watching was simply observing, perhaps out of boredom... perhaps in interest. Regardless of the reason the eyes were laid on the scene, they were there and everyone would feel them. The observer smiled softly to themselves as the first moves were made... One cyborg tiger and a one-eyed Scot against two men in armor and high weaponry...

Who the victor would be seemed obvious in their eyes and the smile simply stayed the way it was. Would intervening be worth it? ...Maybe not... Then again, it might make this less of a burden.... Decisions, decisions and oh so little time to make them. A hand rubbed a chin as thoughts ran through the person's head. This group was fun to watch over and all, but maybe not the thing you'd want to associate with... For the time being, all that happened was observation, action could wait until later.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

When Victoria and Tavish attacked, Riko swung her bass at Sundowner, then Minuano. The purple Zs would fly off the bass, towards the two cyborgs, and put them to sleep temporarily.

Spoiler: Important OoC Note

Ok, gonna do a little something here. A minor edit on the old group battle system. You all post what your character does, and I'll divide my reply up.
Group One: Sundownwer
Group Two: Minuano
Try and keep it evenly numbered, k?

Sundowner, not being the quickest on his feet, was unable to dodge Riko's sleep-inducing projectile. Samus saw the opportunity and fired the plasma shot she'd been charging, a ball of flame that impacted at the same time as Vicky's strike. The combination attack sent the large man flying back, but also woke him up. He got up, shaking his head to wake himself, then charged at Victoria, both machetes raised for an overhead swing that would likely lop her arms off if it connected.

Miunao took off in a gust of wind, dodging Riko's attack and charging straight at Tavish. They impacted in the middle, blades locked and throwing off sparks, Minuano trying to push the Scotsman back.

Sophia watched at the group split to fight the two men. 'What do I do? Hell, what can I do?' Sophia hesitated as she watched the sparks started to fly. 'I guess one thing is for sure.' She thought as a small floating brown orb starting accumulating in her palm. 'I can't let them get anywhere near me.'

Sophia would continue to watch close by Gwen and EMily at the moment, having not really moved since getting off the ship.

After seeing the maids' attacks, Sophia's jaw dropped slightly.

 

[Wackymon]

Medic swapped med-gun's again, launching the Quick Fix uber, rendering Demoman immune to knockback.[hr]Engineer quickly set up his sentry, quickly setting it up with the Southern Hospitality, and quickly firing a few bursts from the Windowmaker at Sundowner.

 

[Drakmorg]

Vicky had charged again at Sundowner as he was thrown back, so when she saw him running to meet her, she leapt to her right to avoid the attack, digging her heel into the ground and pushing off the ground in stride with her run. Surging towards her opponent again, she extended her left arm forward in a stabbing motion at his left side, the fingers on her left hand all having changed to form spiked tips as she was running.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Riko began playing her bass again, creating green wisps that resembled running shoes. Riko then launched the wisps at Vicky, which would buff her movement speed.
