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

[Chungus]

When Sophia revealed she had noticed Yeul staring at her, Yeul looked a little ashamed, lightly biting on her lower lip, although it wasn't too noticable. "Ferrets? I have never heard of such creatures, actually." She stated in response to Sophia's question. "What are the differences between those and what you are?"

Yeul noticed Winona entering the kitchen, also, but being in conversation with Sophia, didn't say anything.
[hr]
"So these establishments come of their own accord? I will bare that in mind." Caius responded, dipping his head lightly. "Where would I go to find these... bounty stores?"

 

[Zepherus14]

Seeing the guilty look on Yeul's face didn't sit so well with Sophia, sure Yeul was in the wrong for staring, but given the context she had every reason to. "Look don't take it too much to heart, alright?" She gave Yeul a sympathetic smile. "You certainly aren't the first, and as much as I'd like it to be, I can safely say you won't be the last alright. Just remember what happened and learn from it, righ-?" Sophia said as she was somewhat interrupted by Winona's outburst.

"Oh Winona! Your sisters told me a little about you." She said, seeming a little embarrassed by how much Winona seemed to be squeeing over her. "T-thank, I hear that every so often about people about my eyes, and well, yes my ears are fuzzy aren't they. I was just talking with Yeul here, so if you want I guess you could listen too if you'd like." Sophia suggested, seeing the look in Winona's eye like she almost wanted to glomp Sophia.

"Well... Ferrets about yeah long." She said as she stretched her arms about half a meter. "They're like animals... Kinda like how monkey or ape things are similar to you guys?" She suggested. "Probably an easier way to describe it would be for me to say how I'm more similar to them than I am to you or Winona here."

[color=003399]"No idea. They seem to show up in odd places."[/color] Joel replied.

 

[Slenn]

She had a radiant smile on her face without showing any teeth.
<color=green>"You're welcome. And please pardon my intrusion. I'd like to get to know everyone here anyways." She curtseyed in politeness.

<color=green>"They're fuzzy guys, they walk on all fours and tend to have a long body. They also tend to have stripes in their fur and a black 'mask' over their eyes like Sophia has."

 

[Chungus]

Yeul nodded in response to Sophia's first comments towards her, and waited for Sophia to talk to Winona before Sophia diverted her attention back to Yeul. When Sophia described what a ferret was, Yeul listened with her mouth open by a tiny margain, trying to imagine what a ferret looked like. She didn't have much luck in this, only picturing a miniature Sophia.

When Winona explained what a ferret looked like, however, she got a better idea of things. She thought of what ferrets could look like further, before her mind wandered to toehr things. "You these ferrets exist where you came from, too?" She asked Winona, looking to her.
[hr]
"Then I would follow up on my plan to see if these other stores could tell me anything about the situation." Caius stated, largely thinking aloud. He thought in silence for a moment, looking away from Joel, up to the ceiling, then back to him. "Where did you come from? Or are you native to this world?"

 

[Slenn]

<color=green>"Oh yes. They're adorable. Sometimes they're even sold as pets." She nodded, but then made a guilty expression as she realized that what she said might be offensive to Sophia. <color=green>"I hope I didn't make any offense there. It's not every day you meet a person who's half-ferret."

 

[Zepherus14]

"It's alright, they kind of warned me you'd be a bit excitable." Sophia said pleasantly. "Although I'm not sure how you can say tend, they do have long bodies, but yes Winona is right on pretty much all of those." Sophia said as she turned to Yeul, tapping her finger on her mask. "Including this."

"Come to think of it, if we knew what animals you knew of, maybe we could describe it better to you." Sophia suggested.

Sophia looked back at Winona when she made the pet comment. "Ya, your sisters had mentioned stuff about them being pets when we were in Japan. Although I did take care of three when I was about 8ish, we had them for getting rid of pests that were trying to eat our crops." Sophia stated as a matter of fact tone. "As long as they were treated alright, I can't really complain." Sophia smiled a little.

 

[Slenn]

<color=green>"That's pretty cool. I'm sure by this point my sisters have mentioned the six bunnies that I had as a kid. Ever since then I moved on to spiders and lizards."

<color=green>"But, I have to ask, Yeul... what animals are on the world where you're from?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=003399]"I'm from a place called Canada. I think it exists in this world, but I don't think I'm from here."[/color] Joel replied.

 

[Demonjazz]

After everyone was on Dave piloted them towards this England place they were talking about. He could occasionally be heard complaining about having to take these people every where.
Doom Guy looked a bit surprised that Sophia was born that way. "Really I thought that you were using those body augmentations that got popular a while back?"

 

[Zepherus14]

"Yes, I think EMily mentioned that to me then." Sophia nodded, deciding to not mention the fact that rabbit was probably one of her favourite foods to eat. "You raised spiders? How did you not squish them accidentally?" Sophia asked, not understanding which spiders Winona was talking about.

When Doom Guy jumped in on the conversation, Sophia looked back to the hallway entrance he was stand. "What!? No! Why would I try to change myself like that?" She retorted, seeming a bit unnerved. "Look I'm just trying to get Yeul settled, so can I talk to you about this later?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Having presumably asked Joel for the specific location at some point, Dave would be taking the group to Bristol.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus, who had overheard the conversation, cracked a small smile when Winona mentioned all her pets.

 

[Chungus]

OoC: Sorry for the late reply. Net crapped out.

Yeul looked from Winona, back to Sophia, looking to Sophia's face as she tapped on the ferret mask. "List the animals I know? That would take a fairly long time, as I know of a fair amount. Some of the more noteale wildlife, however, would include Chocobos, which are bipedal birds with bright yellow plumage. Behemoths, large carnivorous beasts that sometimes walk on their hind legs, but mostly stand on four legs. And the oretoise family, which contains gargantuan quaddruppedal creatures with a shell on their back." She explained to both Sophia and Winona. "Was any of that informative?"

Seeing the large amount of people that have gathered, Yeul blew a sigh. When the ship began to take off, however, Yeul yelped, grabbing hold of her seat.

 

[Slenn]

Winona grabbed a seat as well and hug on to the cabinet.

<color=green>"Oh these spiders aren't that small. They're tarantulas. The ones I have are about 3/4 the area of my hand spread out. A Hondurian curly hair was my first one. They're always kept in their cages and they don't have that much of a demanding diet."

EDITING

 

[Demonjazz]

"People do lots of weird things to look nice. It's just a fashion trend. Probably won't last."

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia quickly found her spot too when she felt the ship starting to move as well, still not liking the overall feeling of flying.

 

[Slenn]

<color=green>"Well, a Chocobo doesn't sound familiar. But the word 'behemoth' is a real word in our dictionary. But there's no animals in our world named like that. But your description of 'oretoises' sounds a lot like a tortoise."

 

[Zepherus14]

Once the ship had stopped accelerating into the air, Sophia finally caught her breath enough to respond to Yeul. "Pretty much what Winona said, I don't recognize any of those names..." Sophia sighed. "I guess the easiest thing would be to get a real ferret for you to see, or potentially a picture of one at least."

 

[Chungus]

Yeul didn't imediately respond to Winona's comment, holding in to her seat tightly in fear of being flung off. When the ship steadied itself out, she blew a small smile and looked back to Winona, letting go of the seat with one hand, and running this hand through her hair. "There is are oretoises that are called the 'Adamantoise' and 'Adamantortoise'. Both are some of the larger ones of their kind, and also have two tusks potruding from their cheecks, a trait the smaller ones lack. Does that sound any familiar?"

Once Sophia spoke, Yeul looked towards her, then back to Winona, and then to Sophia again. "One topic at a time, please. I can't very well hold two different conversations at once." She stated.
[hr]
"You 'don't think' you are from this world. You mean to say you are not certain on thi--" Caius began to ask, but was cut off when the ship began to take off, making his spread out his legs and place a hand against the wall for balance. Hearing Yeul yelp, Caius looked to Joel. "I need to check on something." He said curtly, before moving towards where Yeul sat, moving with greater haste when the ship steadied out.

Upon reaching her, he relaxed, finding she wasn't in danger.
