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

[Zepherus14]

"Well actually, I don't really know much about where she's from. To be honest you're the one that told me pretty much everything about her, including her name, Stephen." Sophia replied back to him, her head raising up a little bit more as she noticed Sara was coming towards them.

"Ya, I have it somewhere?" Sophia said as she got up and craned her neck as she saw the bag she'd left when she'd gone to heal Joanna. "Let me just go and grab it, and I'll give it to you." She said as she started to get up. "How is she by the way, Joanna?"

"A birth mark? Oh right ya, I'd seen that too actually. Only really clued in after I was picking up some wood earlier." Sophia said as she too looked at the odd spot.

[color=006d5b]"You can see it?"[/color] Matilda asked. [color=006d5b]"How much of it can you see?"[/color] Sara would only be able to see a small circle, slightly darker than the surrounding skin, in the middle of Matilda's back.

 

[Random berk]

"Well, maybe if she sticks around, you can get her to open up about it?" Steve suggested.

 

[Slenn]

Sara kneeled down with the other two girls.
<color=brown>"Just a small circle. Is there more that I can't see?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Matilda nodded. [color=006d5b]"I'd show you, but I'm not wearing anything underneath my swimsuit, and the mark goes all down my spine."[/color] she replied.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Maybe, at the very least I made a good first impression." Sophia said to Steve as she continued to watch Matilda's back a bit longer, wondering what that spot was. "So anyways since that mess with Joanna has passed, want to have a better introduction? Sophia Aethis, and you?" She said, knowing she'd already told him her name, but thought it was probably a good place as any to start. She also raised her hand for a hand shake, having to put one hand on the top of the sun hat so that it didn't fall off as looked up to him.

 

[Slenn]

<color=brown>"Joanna's recovering with her food. She'll be fine." She responded to Sophia.

<color=brown>"Well, I'm not one to invade other people's privacy. So I'll leave it at that." She said to Matilda.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=006d5b]"I don't mind showing you my back, I just don't want anyone else to see my front."[/color] Matilda said.

 

[Random berk]

"Steve Rogers." Steve replied with a smile, shaking Sophia's hand. "So, I gathered that you're the healing hands in this group? Where did you learn medicine?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"You are in a whole new world. Perhaps explore?" Samus suggested.

Dencet, Geneva, Switzerland​

After saying goodbye to Bladewolf, Elm activated the jet-bike's cloaking device again, and continued on north-eastwards. Eventually, it and Elm entered Genevan airspace, hovering over the various streets and buildings.

[color=edc393]"So. If those coordinates match out in this world, too, this should be the place."[/color] Sam said, looking downwards to the streets below. [color=edc393]"Should be right, but I can't really tell from just looks. The real question is, what's the plan from here on out?"[/color]

"What do you think would be the most efficient way of finding the information?" Elm asked in turn.

[color=edc393]Answering a question with a question? Right. More testing the waters.[/color] Sam shrugged idly. [color=edc393]"Either go groundside and ask around, or fly around until we spot a building with a bunch of flags around it. Option number one doesn't exactly fit with the whole sneaky sneaky deal, but option number two would probably take hours. City's a big place."[/color] He answered after some thinking.

"We'll take the first option." Elm stated, begining to move the jet-bike downwards. "It may not be covert, but with the influx of extra-dimensional objects this realm is experiencing, it's probable brief appearances by ourselves won't be considdered noteworthy in the big picture."

[color=edc393]"Well. If you say so."[/color] Sam said idly, rolling his shoulders. [color=edc393]"Let's get started, then."[/color] Once the jet-bike touched down on a roof, Sam stepped off, his own invissibility cloak off. Approaching the edge of the roof, he looked below to see if there were any pedestrians directly below him, and jumped down once he found this wasn't the case.

 

[Zepherus14]

"It's nice to meet you Steve." Sophia said pleasantly. "Well I guess you could say that, no one else really seems to be good at it, so I kinda got stuck with the job. I'm mostly self taught honestly, although I've gotten lots of help from some of my professors at Winterhorn, and Erica of Solitude helped me learn to heal people." A great deal of respect came from her when she talked about the people that had helped her along the way. "I've still got a ways to go though." She added meekly.

[hr]

[color=Judge from Phoenix Wright]"Jesus! This Turkey sandwich is Delicious!"[/color] An old man with a thick beard and a bald head exclaimed as he walked passed the spot Sam and Elm were at.

 

[Random berk]

"That may be a worthy pursuit." Joanna replied to Samus, though she didn't look very sure of it. "There were very few people in Drangleic. None that were really still people anyway. I would love to get out and see this world... I don't know if I should be among people though."

Helping people who need it is always worth it, no matter how long it takes to learn." Steve assured Sophia. "It's an admirable goal. I've never heard of Winterhorn or Solitude though, obviously you're not from any version of earth as myself or Joel know it?"

 

[Zepherus14]

"No, this is my first time ever being on Earth." Sophia said. "It's a bit hot for my liking, but it's still a nice place. I have seen humans before, and I'm happy to say they are quite kind like they have been. But otherwise, yes I completely agree learning new things to try to help people is always the right thing to do." Sophia answered back. "If you keep following me for a second we can keep talking, I just need to grab the swimsuit for Sara." She said before turning and heading for the entrance to the ship where she'd left her bag.

Hearing a passer by speak English, Sam figured addressing that person would be a good place to start his questioning. It would save him the trouble of asking wherther or not te individual spoke English, at least.

[color=edc393]"Excuse me?"[/color] Sam called out as he approached the bearded person, his voice audible, but his faceplate down. He approached with his hands raised slightly, so to seem less threatening in the suit of armour.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Why not? Do you intend to harm them?"

 

[Random berk]

"I don't intend to..." Joanna began. "But if the curse runs it's full course... I may no longer care whether I do or not. If I become hollow, then consuming souls will be all that matters to me." She sighed and then got to her feet. "This is why I belong in Drangleic. If I fell there, then I would be just another lost soul, in a land of lost souls."

Steve agreed and fell in line with Sophia, taking slow, leisurely paces so as not to overtake her.
"How long have you been here on earth then?"

 

[Zepherus14]

[color=Judge from Phoenix Wright]"What would you like, can't you see that I'm enjoying this glorious turkey sandwich? If this is some sort of Halloween prank, I would play your games. Three court cases about some nutbar stealing a truck of mixing bowls and now this?"[/color] The man exclaimed as he saw Sam, taking a bite out of his turkey sandwich, a slight bit of mustard getting on his beard as he licked his lips. [color=Judge from Phoenix Wright]"Oh hoho, that definitely hits the spot~"[/color] She sighed at the mouth watering deliciousness. [color=Judge from Phoenix Wright]"No but seriously, what do you want, I'm on by break."[/color] He said more seriously.

[hr]

"Well let me think..?" Sophia said as she crossed her arms, putting a finger to her chin. "I think it was something like June 5th? That sounds like the right day? It's been quite a while honestly, two months?" Sophia answered, sounding a bit unsure of it herself. "Why do you ask?" She asked him as she neared the bag, opening it up as she got out the swimsuit, goggles and the floaties.

 

[Chungus]

[color=edc393]Screw being sneaky, I could just walk around like this, with a big sign over my head. Everyone just assumes I'm heading for some anime convention.[/color] Sam thought as he approached the bearded man. chuckling slightly to himself as he recalled other times people mistook extradimensionals as just people in costume.

[color=edc393]"I just have a few questions, then I'll be out of your hair."[/color] Sam answered as he stopped a few paces near the man. [color=edc393]"Do you happen to know if there's a UN office in this city, and if so, where it is?"[/color]

While Sam spoke to the pedestrian, Elm remained where it was, still cloaked and overhearing the conversation.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"But that's a worst case scenario." Samus pointed out.
