We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

[Random berk]

Jensen entered the cantina's main area and glanced around, noting the mercenaries that had been fleeing the worms the other day milling around, while York sat with Handsome Jack. Both seemed to have fallen asleep in their coffee. Not a good sign, but Jensen felt he could do with some amount of caffeine, no matter how little, and he headed to the bar. When he ordered a coffee, he instinctively dug around in his pockets for a credit chip, then scowled as he remembered that the standardised currency on Earth was likely no good here. The bartender raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Forget it." Jensen muttered, and went to sit at one of the tables instead.

Zer0 looked around the cafe, and saw Adam. He tapped the teenager with the hilt of his sword. "Hey, look over there./One of the other people./Maybe talk to him?" The teenager looked at Zer0 for a sec.
"Since when have you wanted to talk? Like, ever?"
"We should make allies./As long as we are stuck here,/We may need some help." The teenager shrugged, then walked over to Adam, Zer0 close behind.

OoC: Sorry about the slow posting. Haiku is hard.

 

[Random berk]

OOC: Haikus? Really?

Jensen had taken out the E-book that he had reconfigured to begin reading Dune, when he noticed two blips approaching on his rangefinder. Looking up and to his left he noticed Zer0 approaching, with the small girl from the mercenary group. Laying the E-book down on the table, he nodded to them as they approached.
"Can I help you?" He asked.

OOC: There'll be none of that pessimism now! We've only just started, and its early in the evening.

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Gear: You know, you were right. This is WAOA4 all over again. >_<

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: @Berk Zer0 speaks in haiku most of the time. Other then that, just three word scenteces or single words. And while I'm doing character info, the teenage girl is technically an aug. Robot left arm.

Spoiler: Picture of her

The teenager gave a small wave, and Zer0 bowed. "Heya. You're with this little gang we've found ourselves in, right?" The teenager extended her robot hand. "I'm Gaige."

OoC: @Nailik What do you mean?

Jensen looked down at Gaige's hand as she extended it, and noted with surprise that it was a mechanical prosthetic. It was battered, dirty and primitive looking -from the look of it, he was surprised her body hadn't rejected it. The sight of such a young person with such an augmentation chilled Jensen with anger, and pity. He wondered if she had chosen it or been in an accident. Given the poor quality of the limb, probably the latter. He reached out and shook the hand, his own concealed by his coat and gloves.
"Jensen. Adam Jensen." He replied. "Where are you from Gaige?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Well, I was born on Eden-5, but when I showed up wherever this is, I was on Panodra, so take you pick." She pointed to the other Vault Hunters in turn. "That's Maya," she pointed to the blue-haired woman, "That's Axton" she guestured to the military man, "and the short guy he's carrying is Salvador. I guess you've allready met Zer0."

Spoiler: Maya

Spoiler: Axton

Spoiler: Salvador

Spoiler: Zer0

Jensen nodded to the other Vault Hunters.
"Interesting family you've got." Jensen remarked. "Its safe to say that you're from a completely different background than I am. Pandora, Eden-5... these are other planets? What do you do there? You all look like you come from some kind of frontier environment, if not an official warzone."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Yeah, they're other planets. And Pandora's... not a planet of peace and love. Bandits, skags, robots, psycho midgets, and that jackass and his facist dictatorship of a company." Gaige was scowling at Handome Jack. "Honestly, I'm still kinda suprised I'm not six feet under right now."

 

[Random berk]

"Is anywhere?" Jensen remarked before following Gaige's stare at Handsome Jack. "Oh yeah, that asshole. He's lucky that he's not six feet under. I came very close to headspinning him yesterday."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Zer0 turned to Jack, his mask projecting :'( while he made a world's smallest violin motion with his hand. Gaige looked at Adam. "Yeah, he tends to illicit that kinda reaction."

 

[quysspe]

I'm just another nameless, indistinct face. I fade into the background, going about my insignificant business while more important things occur elsewhere.

 

[Random berk]

Jensen simply glared at Jack for a bit, before returning his attention to Gaige and Zer0.
The mech, Zer0. It looks pretty high tech, especially compared to what you've got." He remarked, a little more bluntly than he'd meant to. "Was it military?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Zer0 and Gaige sighed upon hearing Jack, then turned back to Adam. "Honestly... I'm not sure what Zer0 is. Human, alien, robot, idunno. He's certainly not telling anyone." Zer0 didn't speak. "And this arm?" Giage raised her robot arm. "Homemade. I was working on something and cut my arm. It wan't too deep, just like, halfway to the bone? Instead of healing it, I decided to lop it off and make a robot replacement to help a project I was working on along. A particle saw, a few bloodpacks, and some spare parts later, all done."

 

[Random berk]

Jensen's jaw practically dropped on hearing this and although visibly he managed to maintain his composure, when he spoke he was clearly shocked.
"You just decided to cut your own arm off when it could still be saved?! And... and you just threw that thing together out of random junk?! My God, what the hell were you thinking?! For one thing, you should be falling apart from gangrene, tetanus and Christ knows what else!"

OoC: ALWAYS DINNER AT THE WORST TIME! Sorry guys, back in about 50 mins.
