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

[Zepherus14]

"Well I don't think calling her weak is very nice." Sophia said as she put one hand on her hip, not understanding 'weak' in its current context. "Just because she might be smaller than you doesn't make her any less strong than someone else. Heck you two are just as tall as I am, and I know I'm definitely on the smaller side." She stated, bashfully scratching one of her ears slightly. She however perked back up as she noticed the two walking back to them, looking passed EMily a little.

Getting stared down as was, it wouldn't take long for Sophia to notice herself. 'Geez, it's like they've never seen a ferret before, much less a Beastkin...' She thought to herself, her tail slightly puffing up with the added anxiousness, but she tried not to bother them at the moment.

 

[Slenn]

"Oh, don't get me wrong. We're not making fun of her. That just the name of the force she uses. I use the electromagnetic force. Gwen uses the gravitational force. Winona uses the weak nuclear force. And they call it that because there's another nuclear force out there called the strong nuclear force. And the weak nuclear force is responsible for nuclear decay as well as taking part of a process called nuclear fusion, the same process that makes the sun shine. And that's not even the limit of what she can do."

<color=purple>"Yes, can I help you with anything?" Gwen said, diverting her attention to the man.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Joel returned to the group and, upon hearing Sophia suggest going somewhere to relax, said, [color=003399]"How does England sound? You guys have the currency for there, and I managed to find an automail engineer that set up there."[/color] Then, he turned his attention to EMily and said, [color=003399]"I wonder how she'd react to meeting me."[/color]

 

[Chungus]

"Yes." The man responded with a single small nod, lowering his arm. "Considdering your companions all come from other worlds, we came to the conclusion that the most logical course of action for us would be to travel along with you for the time being, since this is the only lead we have at present," he explained. "So, then. If we are alowed?"

The girl noticed Sophia's tail poofing up in one of the moments her gaze fell back to Sophia, and seeing this prompted her to stare more. When Joel approached, however, the girl's attention was drawn to him, paticularly the now-empty housing where his prosthetic arm was once attatched to. The man, too, glanced towards Joel, but only for a brief moment, then looking back to Gwen.

 

[Slenn]

"Pardon me? 'Automail'?"

<color=purple>"I'm sure it'll be fine. We all like chatting with one another really. That ship that was resting under the giant bird is our mode of transportation."

 

[Zepherus14]

"Oh." Sophia managed to blurt out, looking a bit stupefied. "It's the name of the thing... Right..." Sophia however jumped at the chance to switch topics as Joel suggested England. "Oh Joel. Uh, yes England would be much better! Sure it rains quite a bit there, but it was much more moderate there."

Sophia would let out a nervous quiet laugh as the girl seemed to stare at her more, reaching behind to brush at her tail to try and flatten it out again and not make too much of a scene.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=003399]"It's short for automotive mail or something. As in, chainmail. Or platemail."[/color] Joel said to EMily.

 

[Slenn]

"So it's armor that moves on its own? Or is it something that assists in moving a limb? Is that why you're going there?"

 

[Chungus]

"Right. So that is decided. Then I would suppose introductions are in order." The man stated as he brought a fist to his chest plate. "Caius Ballad."

The girl pulled her eyes away from Joel when the man, now identifiable as Caius introduced himself, and looked up to Gwen, also. "I am Yeul." She stated, briefly bowing her head. Sophia laughing as awkwardly as she did drew more attention to herself, leading to Yeul casting a glance at her once more, although it didn't last as long, this time, looking back up to Gwen before long.

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Nice to meet you Caius and Yuel. What are your professions?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=003399]"Automail limbs are the more combat-oriented versions of motorised prosthetics. Though some people call all motorised prosthetics 'automail' for simplicity."[/color] Joel explained. [color=003399]"You can come with me and see for yourself, if you'd like."[/color]

 

[Zepherus14]

Once Sophia finally settled herself down again she finally answered back. "My name's Sophia Aethis. It's nice to meet you two." Sophia said politely, realizing she'd probably be getting some questions thrown her way rather quickly once they were back on the ship from them.

 

[Chungus]

"'Profession' suggests a paid occupation. As such, neither Caius nor myself have one. We are self-sufficient." Yeul answered Gwen. "However, if you were to ask what we do on a day to day basis; I am a seeress." She added.

Caius looked down to Yeul with slightly narrowed eyes, then barely noticeably shook his head before looking back to Gwen. "I am her guardian." he stated curtly. Once Sophia introduced herself, Caius looked towards her and gave her a brief nod to acknoledge her introduction was heard, but being in conversation with Gwen, didn't say anything.

 

[Knife-28]

After successfully cleaning up a little Knife walked around the ship, looking for the supposed 'other pilot'. As he looked he entered a room with the gunslinger Roland, Doom Guy, a cyborg solider and a woman who's name sat at theback of his mind like a formless cloud. "G'day."

Doug meanwhile continued to preen his feathers.

 

[Slenn]

"Sure thing. I'd love to tag along. Although I don't recall in my history lessons of those appearing in this era."

<color=purple>"A prophet? Is it a common job where you're from? And where are you from?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Knife would find no sign of the 'other pilot', as she had already left on an adventure of some kind.

[color=003399]"It seems like the store popped up from another universe a few days ago. Apparently, a few shops selling weird stuff have appeared in a other countries, too."[/color] Joel replied.

 

[Chungus]

Yeul shook her head lightly in response to Gwen. "No. Only one seeress ever exists in any one era. As for where we are from, the world is called Gran Pulse. Although we don't live in any one place for long. I suppose you could call us nomads, in that sense."

With Yeul answering Gwen's questions, Caius kept quiet for the time being, crossing his arms, and looking over the surroundings more. Hearing what Joel said, Caius looked to his direction once more, listening in more intently on what was being said, although he kept himself from butting in on his conversation with EMily.

 

[Zepherus14]

"So you're her guardian, you said?" Sophia eventually asked, noticing that EMily had gone on to talk with Joel and seeing that Caius wasn't doing too much. "That's really admirable of you." She added, honestly impressed with the implication that Caius would work to protect someone.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus looked at the newcomers, face invisible behind her visor and body language carefully controlled.

 

[Chungus]

"I am. I made an oath to safeguard Yeul." Caius stated, looking to Sophia. It would be fairly difficult to pick up on over his neutral expression and almost equally neutral tone, but the small change that was there indicated he appreciated the compliment.

From his peripheral vision, he noticed Samus exiting the ship, first noting the sun glare being reflected off her armour before she herself. Glancing towards her, he looked Samus' armour over, a bit puzzled by its appearance.
