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

[Zepherus14]

"I'm not sure if Doom Guy is an alien though... From what I can smell of him, he's definitely a human being?" Sophia answered back to him. Sophia slowly started to follow the primer as it waved back and forth. "What, what is that?" Sophia asked, pointing to the primer.

Vicky was still going by the time others exited the space-craft, but hadn't gotten very far on account of her slow speed.

Hans face creased with confusion. "I was speaking of Henry. the 8 foot tall alien that just walked in." he then offered the small pamphlet to Sophia. "This is standard issue for all guardsmen. I do not require it, being from Krieg, but I was our squads inter-guard diplomat." he then offered the pamphlet to Sophia. "I suppose it would help if you saw the book I used to deal with outsiders."

"Well, that's a story and a half." Knife started, "It all started when I came across another nexis world like this. I was in Los Angeles when I was carjacked by two author avatars. For some reason we time traveled to the future after a some apocalypse. On a roadtrip across the US we were attacked by a flock of giant mutant birds, and Doug here." Knife paused and waved at the bird, "He bit off my hand."

"Yea, it was pretty mad.

"Right, so following the righteous beatdown I gave to the flock, Doug decided he didn't want to become a thanksgiving dinner and stuck with us. After that we met up with these crazy technophiles, like, 'last bastion of the government, going to save the world from the dirty muties' kinda thing. I lost my leg to a point blank .50 cal shot," He place a hand on his left leg, "Trying to break one of the author avatars out of captivity, and for some reason they recruted me, gave me some fancy robotic limbs and put me to work."

"Of course I stole their experimental time travel device and went back as far as we could, only to find ourselves in the ruins of Rome. So, nothing else left to do we jumped to another universe and we've been traveling together ever since."

 

[Zepherus14]

"OH!" Sophia realized she had goofed. "He seemed nice enough, he even brought in your clothing." Sophia suggested, sounding like she didn't understand the man. "But thank you, I would love to see what it says... if I can read it." She smiled a little as she grabbed the pamphlet to read.

 

[Slenn]

"Wait a second... ruins of Rome?" At last EMily had connected the dots. "I was at the ruins of Rome as well. That explains why Doug called us 'science rangers' before us ever mentioning to either one of you that we were scientists. In fact I do remember you now, Knife. Although it's been a ridiculously long time."

 

[FPSfanatic]

Hans shrugged. "If it helps you and the rest of the new recruits understand and better use me, it has done its job." Hans rubbed his leg, and looked around. "Could you secure a crutch?"

If Sophia looked inside, she would find a collection of propaganda and advice suggesting how best to deal with all manner of alien, mutant, or 'heretic'. It would almost certainly leave her more confused then before.

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia slowly read the pamphlet, not able to wrap her hand around what the pamphlet said, the ideas that were there just seemed wrong. "Um... sure." Sophia said as she slowly got up and headed for the door, starting to look for something she could use.

 

[Knife-28]

"Oh fuck, you're right!" Knife exclaimed, "Man...that was a fucking age ago wasn't it?"

"Actually," Doug interjected, "I called you 'Science Rangers' because I heard you talking all that gobbledygook about nuclear forces and all that jazz."

 

[Slenn]

"Yeah, it's been at least two years. Still it seems so long ago since we faced Varger, Regulus, Terumi, and Eliphas. I almost said 'Elephantus' there." She snickered.

 

[Chungus]

After walking through the ship for a moment, and finding no one who they hadn't talked to but Hans - who was in conversation with Sophia, which they didn't want to disturb - Yeul and Caius made their way towards the exit of the ship, hearing talking outside. They stayed inside, not wanting to get soaked by the rain.

"There seems to be no end to this rain." Yeul commented softly.

"It has not ended since coming here."

"Perhaps this place has a dry season, and one of rains." Yeul mused as she looked over those outside. Her eyes eventually drifted to Victoria shambling out in the rain, which made her wonder where Victoria was going, why she was going out without something to keep her from getting wet, and if she was hurt, given the way she walked. Yeul looked to the others, then back to Victoria, then figured Victoria is fine, since noone looked paticularly concerned. Perhaps she simply is fond of the rain?

 

[ShindoL Shill]

As Joel walked away from the ship, he quickly approached Vicky. [color=003399]"Need a hand walking?"[/color] he asked.

 

[Slenn]

"Well, I dunno. I more or less enjoy the rain." EMily said to Yuel. "There's nothing better than cool, wet precipitation."

<color=purple>"Although Vicky looks like she just wants to be away from anyone here."

<color=green>"And I don't know if it's the best time to approach her after what I attempted to do."

 

[Chungus]

"I suppose it is... atmospheric, in a sense. Although I would prefer it if the sun were to shine." Yeul said in return to EMily, momentarily looking up at the sun. When Gwen spoke, she looked back to Victoria, but decided not to say anything, it having become a moot point now that Joel joint her.

"This rain without lull impairs progress, also. We would search for this 'bounty store', were it not for it." Caius chimed in.

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"I can assist with that. I can shield us from the rain by reversing the gravity above us." She said and took a few steps outwards as her eyes glowed slightly to repel the oncoming rain.

<color=purple>"If you guys want, I can cover us while we take a walk."

 

[Chungus]

"If you would." Cauis said with a small nod, stepping closer to Gwen. Although he didn't show it, he was glad Gwen offered.

"We had thought of asking you to serve as rain repellor, but did not wish to impede on you. Certainly after you had just done so prior." Yeul added, stepping to Gwen's side also.

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Don't worry about it. It's no big strain on my part. It's not like I'm channeling a singularity." the other two sisters took shelter under Gwen.
"We're all here, you can go ahead." EMily said.
And Gwen walked at a steady pace, keeping her eye out for the bounty store.

<color=green>"It sure is quiet out when it rains."

 

[Demonjazz]

A man teleported into the ship... Or well Man was a bit of a exaggeration. He appeared to just be coming out of his teens. He wore a traditional knights garb other than the large tree branch that he held in his one hand. When he landed on his face from being teleported in the air, there was a loud clang that filled the ship and then a bit of swearing as he attempted to get up with a large heavy breastplate on.

 

[Chungus]

As he walked with Gwen and moved into the city, Caius from time to time, asked a passer by if they knew anything about where the bounty store was located, not having much luck as of it.

"I have a question for you." Yeul stated to Winona as she walked, looking up to her.

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Go ahead."
