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

[Slenn]

"Then could you please let us go so we can try and solve this mess?" The three sister's eyes glowed brightly.

<color=purple>"We are not afraid of whatever magic you have. But know this: I and my sisters know we are good people. The people in our homes trust us. Please, will you forgive us if we try and solve for the truth? There is much insight in finding it out."

<color=green>"I know I'm not a bad person. Can you please let us go so we can figure this out? I'm a scientist, not a criminal." Winona said with bravery. She tugged tight on Gwen's clothing.

OOC: @Trilby, you are leaving very little room for debate if this guy is this stubborn.

In a fit of frustration that overwhelmed Sara...
<color=brown>"Shit. I can't get a lock on them anywhere!"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Why would I let you go? Your friend is trying to kill me!" the person yelled from under the counter, as the paper continued to rise.

 

[Demonjazz]

Braveer had brought another rapier from his sleeves to try and slice up more paper. When the faceless woman shouted at him. He just shouted back. "You tried to kill me first!"

 

[Slenn]

At last Gwen's anger hit its peak and erupted one of the loudest disruptive voices ever heard by any ears. One could say it could be heard from other dimensions and universes. Her body glowed bright purple along with her eyes.
<color=purple>"DAMMIT BRAVEER! STOP ATTACKING HIM OR WE'LL NEVER GET OUT OF HERE! PUT AWAY YOUR SWORD NOW!"

 

[Demonjazz]

Braveer sheathed his swords and stood there looking rather defeated for once in his life.

 

[Slenn]

Gwen's anger cooled down, but still was not cool to the touch.
<color=purple>"And the faceless one, would you please cease these papers and let us go?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Because some of you have done bounty hunting jobs for us before, I'm going to take a risk and let you go. But this is your final warning." the figure said. In a flurry of paper, the group members were all forcefully ejected from the bounty store, out into the street.

Wherever the Knights Are

All the knights would be alerted to a change on the sheets they had; the arranged meeting was likely a trap, but Sophia was currently at the location the knights had been directed to. The update also stated that there were at least 8 people with Sophia, at least one of whom had fire magic and the power to summon bats.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras and Faro had been out hunting for quite some time now. Now, however, they were walking back to the ship.

"So how do you feel?" Seras asked Faro, as he had just consumed his first human and became a full vampire.

"...Full I guess. It's still...weird. This whole...thing." Faro said as he looked around to make sure no one was listening in. Seras seemed to be less concerned about that.

"You'll probably get used to it in time. Don't worry." she said as she smiled and pushed his metal shoulder a little. "I mean, I'm pretty much used to it and it hasn't been that long for me, all things considering." she added.

As they walked they heard a shout that sounded a little familiar. As such, Seras and Faro walked toward it. They saw a bounty shop and wondered if the group was there for some reason. Then they saw several of the group members get tossed onto the street. "'Ello? Wot's all this then?" Seras asked in confusion as she stared at them.

 

[Slenn]

The sisters got themselves up and dusted off. They cooled down to ground energy.
<color=purple>"Thank you." Gwen said sternly.

OOC: I'm outta here. G'night.

 

[Demonjazz]

Braveer got launched in the streets. He got up and brushed the dust off of him, and snapped his fingers and changed his clothes to the color black. He then looked at the English woman and Latino cyborg before going off back to the ship "Nothing to concern yourself about citizen." He didn't do as many over the top gestures while moving as he previously did.

 

[Drakmorg]

Victoria smiled at Sophia upon hearing how appreciative she seemed to be.

"Feel free to ask for more if you need to though."

She said. While Sophia was eating, she made for the door again, turning back to say,

"You just enjoy that and I'll be back in a minute."

Leaving the room, she went to go prepare a bath for Sophia, returning after having done so.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Sure, this should be enough, but I'll let you know." Sophia answered back as she took another small bite. She wondered where Victoria was going off to now, but didn't pay it too much mind as she continued to take little bites out of the sandwich.

After eating about half of the sandwich, she was feeling a bit better. Maybe she had been a bit hungrier than she thought. Once Victoria returned, Sophia looked up from her plate again. "Oh you're back? This sandwich is really good."

[hr]

With this new information, the knights that had been travelling away from the group immediately turned towards the three that were heading towards Bristol. The three that were already on their way however did not slow their approach. Having heard they would try to set a trap, the grip of their reins tightened. To think she would do something so underhanded, even now. But she'd made a grave mistake, revealing to them her location, one they would soon make her regret.

 

[Slenn]

"Seras? I haven't seen you in a long while. What have you been doing lately?"

OOC: Waiting on computer jobs.

 

[Chungus]

After her talk with Sophia, Yeul left the ship with Caius, talking amongst themselves a few paces away from it, out of earshot. They discussed wherther or not Sophia could be guilty of the charges; Yeul believed in Sophia's innocence, while Caius maintained his position of neutrality until he knew more.

Both still wanted to speak with the knights. Unaware of that the majority of the group had gone to the bounty store themselves, the duo began making their way towards there, al well.
[hr]
With the repair program complete, Elm started the jet-bike's engines, and began running the routines to open a portal, the coordinates set for the alleyway, to the north-east, and two street blocks away from where the ships were docked. Once enough power had been charged, it opened the portal, activated its cloaking device, levitated the jet-bike, and flew through.

In Bristol, rumblings could be heard and felt in the street as the portal was in the process of being opened, quieting down once it did. Once the jet-bike was flown through, Elm closed the portal, and touched down again. "Find a vantage point and watch the targets." Elm instructed, having the dome slide back.

The ships could be seen from a vantage point at the distance, but people outside it would appear as dots. However, the equipment integrated within the faceplate had a zoom function, controlled by voice commands, like the rest of its functions.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Oh, hi Emily. I've been...showing Faro the ropes, I guess you could say." Seras said. "But what happened in there? Why'd you all get thrown out like that?" she asked.

"Have we missed anything?" Faro asked the group at large.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Sam moved a bit closer to the ships on the jetbike, activating the zoom in his faceplate.

Samus looked at Seras. "You've missed a lot." She ran Seras through what had happened. Sophia, this knights, Silence, everything.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The door to the bounty store opened and a paper airplane flew through, before the door vanished entirely, leaving only a sign stating the bounty store was closed temporarily.

 

[Chungus]

Looking down on the ships, Sam would see Caius and Yeul walking away from the ships, and Roland standing watch outside.

"What do you see?" Elm asked Sam over the speaker. Being in the air, Elm could see the movement below as well as Sam, but asked for confirmation to see if Sam noted all the things of worth.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Glad to hear it."

Victoria gave Sophia another smile.

"I went ahead and got a bath ready for you, if you're interested anyway."

 

[Slenn]

Gwen was still quite peeved and both Caius and Braveer. So she remained quiet for the time being. She folded her arms and leaned against the nearest wall with her eyes closed. She focused on taking deep breaths.

"The bounty office found out that we were holding Sophia against the knights before we wanted to interrogate them. We were left off with a warning since we had done business with them before. I told them that I didn't know of her bounty until a few minutes before entering the office. But now it is even more critical that we get proof of the knights' lying or, if it is true, proof of Sophia's crimes."
