We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Kirke]

Tophat looked over in the direction of Ina's room.
"Someone was just knocked unconsious.

 

[Chungus]

-removed-

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica looked away at the rest of the room as Loki and Rita did their work, cringing a bit as she heard the tile smashing against Ine's head. Hearing Loki speak to her, she sighed before turning around and nodding. She drew a chalk circle on the wall, doing so slightly hastily as she worried about someone possibly walking into the room. Once the was finished, she activated the circle as normal, and tested it as normal, disappearing into it and reappearing next to it. She gestured to the portal and said to Loki and Rita, "Best not dilly dally. It's probably only a matter of time before someone comes in here to check on things."

 

[Kirke]

OoC: removed because not needed now.

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Kirke: Since Loki, Jess and Rita are shrouded, they couldn't be sensed, as they're undetectable through any means until the shroud is lifted.

Loki waited for Jessica to create and test her portal, nodding to her in responce to her statement before stepping through, Rita doing the same thing. Once back outside the city, Loki un-shrouded himself and Rita, waiting for Jessica to arive before lifting the shroud from her as well.
[hr]
"Someone is unconscious? What room?" Estella asked, reaching for her pendant, but not contacting anyone just yet.

 

[Kirke]

OoC: @nail: even their souls? Damn. Well then, iI guess Tophat wouldn't speak to Jessica in th
at Case. He'd mention that the girl is knocked out though.
Tophat got up and led the way, jogging to the room in question. When it arrived, it opened the door with its sword drawn.

 

[Chungus]

Although she had many more questions, and was begining to grow inpatient with Tophat not fully answering them, Estella followed Tophat to Ine's room, entering it after it. "Princess Ine? Are you alright?" she called out, obviously getting no responce.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica was taken somewhat by surprise by Tophat opening the door. crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap! She quickly wiped off a small bit of the chalk on the wall, enough to break the portal, then left the room by teleporting off to the portal's destination, not having enough time to wipe the chalk circle away completely without getting caught, despite her shroud.

 

[Kirke]

Tophat walked over to the remains of the chalk circle.
A portal, perhaps? - It thought as it noted that it had been hastily broken.
"The unconsious person is in the bathroom."
It said to Estella.

 

[Chungus]

Once Jessica emerged on the other side of the portal, Loki lifted the shroud from her also. "Well, another a successful little venture over with. We have only two more to go now until we can advance to the next stage of the plan and work towards ending the war." he said rather somewhat cheerily, although he would have been more cheery had he not suffered the constant headache.
[hr]
Estella glanced over at the broken chalk circle, imediately being alarmed by it. Rushing into the bathroom, Estella gasped at what she found. She reached for her necklace as she crouched down next to Ine. This is Lieutenant Lucis. The princess has been attacked. Sweep the palace for intruders and send healers to the princess' room. she telepathically ordered to the palace guards. While under diferent circumstances she might have assumed what had transpired was indeed an accident, the discovery of the chalk circle lead her to believe otherwise. After checking Ine for a pulse, barely finding one, Estelle healed Ine's wound to the best of her ability, which was partially mending Ine's brain hemorage.

 

[Kirke]

Tophat reached out and sensed Jessica, noticing Loki and Rita as it did.
Jessica reappearing, a person knocked out with a broken portal in the room? This does not bode well.
Tophat walked over to Estella, and looked down on the princess.
"This is... Unsetteling."

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica started rubbing at her left arm with her right as she was still rather shaken by the whole ordeal. "We almost got caught that time though. I couldn't erase the chalk circle in time. Unless they're idiots, they aren't gonna think that was an accident. The next two are probably going to be far more difficult." She said to Loki with a deep sigh.

 

[Chungus]

Upon hearing Jessica's responce, Loki's smile disappeared, and his right eye twitched in major annoyance. "This... Is a setback." he remarked with almost a growling voice. Taking a deep breath, Loki placed his left fist to his chin as he thought on how to proceed. "Now, there are several things that need be done before we can continue. First, we need eliminate that boatman. If they have discovered the un-erased chalk circle, they will start searching for related cases. And we cannot risk them asking that boatman about it. A incident with his ship should be easy enough to set up. The more difficult part would be finding him... As for the second thing, we may need eliminate whoever it is that had caught you. I will not see my plans fail!"
[hr]
"This is more then unsettling..." Estella answered, looking up at Tophat over her shoulder. "I have a lot of questions for you, "Tophat.""
After a moment, a two healers carrying a gurney entered Ine's room, Estella stepping out of the bedroom once she heard this. "In here!" The healers carefully lifted Ine on the gurney, then began taking her to the healing ward.

 

[Kirke]

"I would expect you to. I will answer to the best of my ability."

 

[Chungus]

Estella left Ine's room, motioning for Tophat to follow. Once outside, she began walking elsewhere. "Firstly, how did you know what had befallen the princess?" she asked as she walked.

 

[Kirke]

Tophat followed Estella, looking around at the palace.
"I am a telepath, and while I am not certain how common that is here, I still feel quite sure in saying that I am a unusually powerful one."

 

[Chungus]

"A telepath? No such thing exsists here. I'd thought telepathy was a thing of fiction." Estella answered, and stopped walking as she reached for her pendant. For slightly over more then a minute, there was silence. After, Estella turned to Tophat. "My pressence is required elsewhere. Until given clearance, you are not to leave the west wing of the palace. During this time, you can stay in the guest room, which you can reach by following this hallway, then turning right. A guard will continue the interview tomorow." Having said that, Estella walked off, still holding her necklace.

OoC: Time for me to go.

 

[Kirke]

Tophat smiled slightly.
"All what you think is fiction is reality somewhere." - It said for itself before heading to the guest room.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica shrunk a little and her ears folded back momentarily as she noticed Loki's drastic change in mood. "Well for that old boatman, both times I met him we was with his boat at the docks. That seems the best place to start looking for him." She started nervously scratching the back of her head as she paused before continuing. "As for who almost caught me...I don't know. As soon as they opened the door I broke the portal leading here and left myself. I didn't get much of a look as to who it was..."

 

[Kirke]

Tophat sat in the guest room in a almost medative state as it slowly narrowed down where Jessica was. It was a slow and taxing process, taking ten minutes for every meter it managed to narrow down.
