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

[Zepherus14]

Sophia smiled happily when EMily agreed with her suggestion, her sharp K9s visible more clearly. When asked about what she had to offer, she looked at a loss for words for the moment. "Well... I can widdle, sew, cook an' stuff... I'm pretty strong... and I guess I can use magic too. I've never really had to fight before though... the closest thing to that I guess would either be some of the exams I've done as well as that one martial arts tournament Rachel tricked me into signing up for... Anyways!" Sophia started mumbling near the end of her little list. "Is that what you were asking for?"

 

[Slenn]

"Yes, pretty much. These guys are pretty strong and reckless with their strength. Are you good with diplomacy? Go ahead and follow me, we're on our way to the bay." She started to walk slowly to the outdoors. "And pardon me, but what is 'widdling'?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Mmm...Sophia, I'm not sure you should join up with us. I mean, I've been seriously injured every time we encountered these fish people, and I'm a trained professional." Seras said .

 

[Zepherus14]

"I've never tried actually, diplomacy that is." Sophia answered back. "I'm a good listener, but... well I never considered myself that type of person."

"Widdle? Is that what I said?" Sophia asked sounding rather embarrassed. "I meant to say whittling. Like wood carving. It's been a hobby of mine since I was little."

Sophia looked Seras over for a moment, a look of doubt on her face. "But from what I understand, you all have been here for what, less than a day? How serious could it be if you are still walking around perfectly fine like that?" She asked, unsure how Seras could mean what she said. "Look, I can pull my own weight and then some. I'm 20 years old, and I will make my own decisions. I'll determine for myself if it's too dangerous, thank you." She stated in a matter of fact manner. 'I've dealt with worse and made it through right?' She thought to herself.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Some pretty useful stuff you can do there."

Vicky commented to Sophia as she listed off what she could do. When EMily started moving, Vicky followed after her, finishing off her sausage roll and taking another out of her bag to eat.

"It's fine. She can just stay back if we go someplace that looks hairy. Or one of us could just stick to her like a bodyguard."

 

[Slenn]

She gave a genuine chuckle. She's adorable. "Well, it might be too risky if you follow us to the bay area." She said to Sophia, "You could prepare food if you wish. Although you'll have to sell stuff to get cash here. You seem to like excelling in professions. Maybe you could take up a book from a library or archive on first aid. We'll need a medic, and it may become a hassle later on if we're getting into this much danger."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Mmm...It might just be better if she didn't come at all. I'm just saying it would be less to worry about." Seras said as she followed the others.

"Well...I'm tougher than I look. And I guess it is up to you." Seras said to Sophia, hoping she hadn't offended the woman.

Yorick would be standing around outside.

 

[Kirke]

You decide you've had enough rest and head down from the roof to the lobby. The diverse bunch you see there surprises you somewhat, but compared to what else has happened it did not seem nearly as odd as it ought to. They seem to be heading out just as you step in the room, so you follow them. As you do, you try to get the odds on the situation becoming even more strange, and decide that you'd be better of betting on Power Sled racing.

 

[Slenn]

"It is your decision, Sophia."

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia grinned a little at Victoria's complement. "Aww, thanks."

"Oh right, money!" Sophia eyes widened as she remembered the bill that EMily had given Victoria earlier. "Damn so that means I can't use any of mine here?" Sophia asked disappointedly. She however shook her head at the idea of reading books. "If those books have anything like that language I saw in the bathroom just now, I couldn't read anything from there. I'm not that strong of a reader to begin with. But I do know some first aid stuff already, I lived on a farm, we kinda needed to know stuff like that from the get go.

"I'm going, but I promise that if things do get hairy I'll get out of your way so I won't cause trouble alright?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"If that's what you think is best, okay." Seras said to Sophia.

 

[Slenn]

"Very good then. Glad to see you part of the team." She smiled. She hailed for a taxi to arrive and directed it to take its passengers to the bay area.

 

[Zepherus14]

As Sophia stepped out into the street area, and rode through the city, she was a floored by the sheer volume of people everywhere. Sure she knew that 13 million was kinda a big number, but to actually see a display of such a small fraction. "Woah..." She said from one of the windowside seats, sticking her head out as they went along.

 

[Kirke]

You head into the taxi after the others have entered, picking up on the language EMily used to talk to the driver, it being similar to the Auroran language. While wondering to yourself why the language of the huge warrior empire in the galactic south would be spoken on Earth, you greet the other in the taxi and introduce yourself to those who you have not met earlier.

 

[Drakmorg]

Victoria would spend the care ride eating the rest of her food. When the new person she hadn't met yet would come in, she'd offer her a sausage roll.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Yorick and Seras rode in silence.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Hello Shara, I'm Sophia, so you found yourself here too huh?" Sophia asked before looking out the window again. 'Wow there are a lot of vending machines here...' She thought before she opened up her bag and started digging through it. 'I put those in here right?'

 

[Kirke]

You accept the sausage roll from the person with... cat ears. You have heard of cosmetic surgery that adds such things, but decide not to say anything about it. You thank her and eat the food slowly while telling Sophia that yes, you did end up here, though you were on route to Earth when in it happened. You explain that you are a freelance freighter or courier captain, though you also do various odd jobs to bring in some extra credits.

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia continued to rummage in her bag before looking up at Shara again. "Wow, so that makes you like... a space mail person or something right? That's sounds like it would be pretty interesting seeing so much stuff. Too bad you got caught in this mess though, hopefully you have something you can deliver later right?" She suggested.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus had followed the others into the cab, having to disengage her armour. She sat silently, watching the others interact.
