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

[Drakmorg]

"We only fought them once, and all I figured out is that hitting them really hard works well."

Vicky answered Roland.

"As for what they're capable of, well they're just a bunch of savages. Stay out of the range where they can hit you with sticks or throw things at you and you'll be fine."

 

[Demonjazz]

When she chopped one of the vegetables noticeably opened it's mouth of sharp teeth right before EMily chopped it which resulted in it shouting "OH GOD! THE PAIN! WHAT A WORLD! WHAT A WORLD!"
"Don't pay attention to what it says. It ain't actually got nerve endings... Or was dat da Anviluvian variety?"

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Cyborgs are a combination of man and machine. Their electronics can be overloaded with electricity. Anything like lightning bolts or EMP's will damage them. They tend to have reflexes greater than that of an average human, depending on the quality of the make of their machinery. Sometimes they're made to resemble the reflexes of an average human. But here we're dealing with military-grade units that are meant to kill efficiently. That giant piloted machine though will take more than just a few supersonic boulders to crack its skull, so to speak."

"Ya, I guess you weren't joking then about that, huh?" Sophia agreed as she looked around at the kitchen, sniffing at the air. "And yes, my whole species is actually, never really had to deal with the stuff until my time at the college really." She confessed, seeming a little embarrassed to admit it, but to tired to give it as much mind as she might have. "It won't kill me or anything, but... well you'd probably guess."

"Sauces..? Alright." She said as stepped over to what looked like a fridge and looked inside it, thinking the sauce would most likely be there.

"What was that!?" Sophia swiftly looked up from the fridge as the shout came out, looking alarmed.

 

[Demonjazz]

Inside the fridge was bottles of black stuff, some meat, and a container of water. Some of the stuff was written in English but other writings were written in very bizarre looking writings.
"That was just the Vampire fruit potato."

 

[Slenn]

"I can feel electricity from nerve endings, so I would know. Anyways... continuing on. What kind of nutrients are in this vegetable anyway?" She started sniffing the now chopped up animal/plant.

"Don't worry, you shouldn't be too embarrassed Sophia. Heck, when I was young I couldn't stand the smell of mashed potatoes. Almost made me gag every time I took a whiff of it. I guess you could say I was intolerant of potatoes back in the day, but that's another thing than lactose intolerance."

"[color=01A9DB]I can shoot anything they throw at me out of the air.[/color]" Roland said to Vicky.

"[color=01A9DB]I just have my guns, no lightning or E-empties. But I have dealt with killing machines before. They always have some weakness I can shoot to kill them, usually an antennae on their heads.[/color]" Roland said to Gwen.

 

[Demonjazz]

The potato thing continued to scream until EMily was done chopping it. "Well da alien merchant I bought dem off of said 'blurp blup screech high pitched noise' about da vegetables."

 

[Slenn]

"And you're totally cool with putting this in the stew despite the lack of background on the vampire veggie? Do you have a recipe book that details what's in this thing?"
----

<color=purple>"They also tend to have weak points around their joints like crustaceans. That's where EMily targeted one of those guys with her laser. One shot at the knee and they can easily be damaged."

 

[Zepherus14]

"Vampire... fruit... potato..." Sophia repeated back to Dace as she looked over at what EMily was cutting, and without saying a word on that topic looked back in the fridge. She'd be staring in the fridge for a long time, some soft mumbling coming from her before she finally closed the door, now holding a bottle of Weasel Sauce. "This is it right?" She held it up for Dace.

"You didn't like potatoes? I'd take a bunch of meat over that any day, but..." Sophia seemed a little confused by how EMily would have such a bad reaction to potatoes, especially since they don't smell that much at all. "I guess you're right though, we all have our own quirks I guess..." She said as she set the bottle on the counter and slipped of the tunic.

 

[Demonjazz]

"Nope. Never bought a recipe book in my life. I just stock up on stuff every planet." Dace looked at the bottle. "I don't remember buying that but okay." He said setting the very very tenderized Nerf to the side before putting the sauce in a pan and starting to stir fry the weasel. "Yup. I heard dat da Vampire Fruit potatoes go into orchards at night and eat all da fruit before burrowing into da ground and ruining da soil for miles."

 

[Outisakanobody]

I bring whatever I can carry to my car. At least it should be safe there. Then I put my cloths back on.

OOC: I imagine without cloths X-9 kind of looks like a terminator.

 

[Slenn]

"Then you might want to invest in something like that. Have you had these before and experienced no malevolent after effects? Otherwise I might just boil it in a separate pot and put it as a side-dish."

"I got desensitized after a while by having baked cubed potatoes with rosemary and garlic."

 

[Demonjazz]

"... I don't really pay attention to what I put in a stew... Or really what I eat at all."

 

[Zepherus14]

"I vote on leaving the farmland destroying fruit out of the stew." Sophia raised her hand.

 

[Drakmorg]

Upon reaching the crash site, Vicky meandered around in the junk metal for a while, angrily kicking clean holes into any particularly intact bits of scrap that she could find with her clawed-toes.

 

[Slenn]

"Side dish it is then..." EMily turned on another pot of water and put the strange veggie in there. "You seriously need to get some expertise with cooking then. It would be good so you wouldn't be getting food poisoning 90% of the time. That and you wouldn't be getting malnutrition."

 

[Demonjazz]

"Well I got all food groups covered. Meat, Vegetables, fruit, milk... The stuff in between those. And I usually don't get food poisoning... What ever dat is?"

 

[Slenn]

"Food poisoning is when you eat something that's not well prepared and you get a disease or makes you ill. Also milk is part of a dairy group. Vegetables and fruit are their own group called produce. I'm honestly considering cooking lessons for you."

Roland took another wet bullet out of his satchel and began rolling it across the fingertips on his left hand. It started out looking like a simple trick one might do with a coin, but soon the useless round seemed to be almost dancing in the air, Roland's fingers but a blur.

He walked silently as he did this, thinking of how to go about attacking the cyborgs. His mind also drifted to the subject of Ka, and why it sent him to this strange world.
