We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[FPSfanatic]

"Ah, this? Well, you know how it goes. You get pulled over by a traffic cop, they want to see your weapons license, things escalate, despite your best attempts otherwise." Bryce laughed, and rubbed his face. "Yeah, I kind of got into a scuffle with Ness's dovebird's group." he nodded at the mention of the year. "Been five years now on my end. Letting my real face show there for a bit. Knocking on... numbers I don't like to think about in a year or two. If you want, I can let Caesar whip up quite a unique botox treatment. Side effects include schizophrenia, and being able to turn your body into a weapon."

 

[Chungus]

"Is that so..." Loki said to Rita, his gaze trailing towards her book. "Intriguing." Hearing Jessica's answer, Loki looked back at her, his right eye twitching in annoyance slightly. "And you thought to hide something that could be so detrimental to our cause from me?" he asked with an highly irritated tone. You are fortunate I considder you to be a valuable asset. "And. How did this friend take to being told these things?"
[hr]
"Let's go then." Erica said happily. Going to the receptionist counter, she returned the room of the key. "How much do I owe you for this?" she asked the receptionist, who looked somewhat confused in turn.

"Umm... The room was already paid for, miss. By a feline companion of yours, if I remember correctly."

"Right." Erica said as she snapped her fingers. Pulling out her notebook, she flipped through it. "One more thing. Have you seen anyone matching this description?" she asked, then went on describing Ness' appearance.

The receptionist nodded. "She left this morning."

Erica sighed. Typical. "Well, thank you for your time. Have a nice day!" she gave the receptionist a smile, then left the hotel, following the road norhtwards.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex chuckled a bit. [color=000066] "Sounds fun, but I'll pass on that. Seeing Skye freak out every once in a while, doesn't seem fun." [/color] Becoming a little more serious, he nodded. [color=000066] "Fedora got a significant other? What did they do to make you want to fight 'em?" [/color]

[hr]

Meanwhile, Ness walked into her room and walked into her closet. Instead of being filled with clothes, it was a small lab, a replica of the old one she had at her home with her parents. In a large standing cabinet she opened, there were large amounts of chips with various labels detailing ammo types. She began popping out chips in her guns, one-by-one, and adding in new chips, similar in type to the other ones.

I really hope... this is all a misunderstanding...

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica looked down at the ground slightly as she noticed Loki's annoyance. "I figured I could just talk her out of believing him. Then I was going to tell you about it....I think I managed it though. She doesn't have any reason to believe him over me." She replied, sounding as confident as she could manage and looking back up at Loki.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Bryce frowned. "Her little group's been doing necromancy. At least, I'm fairly certain they are. I ain't gonna sit for that, no matter who I'm speaking with."

 

[Chungus]

Erica and Valentine would follow the roads for some time, before it became too dark for them to see. Not wanting to travel a unfamiliar place at night, Erica, after discussing it with Valentine, decided to return to Skyrim. Touching her amulet, Erica closed her eyes as she focused seeing the living room of her house before her eyes. A location fixed, a swirling blue portal opened infront of Erica and Valentine. The duo stepped through, the portal closing behind them.
[hr]
"I hope for your sake that this is indeed the case. For now, break the portal, but do not erase it completely. The hour has grown to late to strike." Loki said to Jessica.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica nodded solemnly to Loki, then went about doing as he asked and broke the portal by erasing a small bit of it.

Hearing that the assault was postponed, Nybeth went back to his chosen section of the temple and resumed his work.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex nodded a small bit toward Bryce. [color=000066] "I'm not doing much, so I may as well help you out with that. The whole necromancy thing is something my group back home hates too. Guess that explains Fedora being pissed off..." [/color]

[hr]

After loading herself up, Ness returned in time to hear what Rex had said. She simply nodded toward him before preparing to teleport herself. "I'll be back when I can. If I don't come back after an unacceptable amount of time, then Rex should be able to find me though his PDA. Now then..." She explained flatly to both of the guys near her before teleporting herself near Jessica.

[hr]

[color=000066] "And there's that..." [/color] Rex said, scratching the back of his head a bit. He switched his PDA to a tracker function, showing Ness' current location on the map. It even had an estimated HP bar.

 

[Chungus]

Seeing the tell-tale sign of teleportation, ergo, a flash of light, Loki looked to see where the flash had originated from, finding Ness standing near Jessica. Wonderful... Clenching his fist in annoyance for a moment, Loki created a projection of himself that stood in the exact same position, with the exact same pose as he did, then shrouded himself. I will need to take care of this swiftly.

 

[FPSfanatic]

"I assume if things go poorly we'll jump in?" Bryce asked, flipping his coin in his hand twice.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica stood up as she noticed Ness appeared near her. With a look of incredible surpise, she asked Ness, "Oh, uh, hi Vanessa! W-What are you doing here?" There was an obvious presence of nervousness in her voice.

 

[DotSlash]

Jess would notice that Ness' eyes were green instead of their normal blue, due to her remembering Bryce saying he was attacked by invisible enemies. With that in mind, she looked over toward Loki, her eyes darting for a fleeting moment toward the real one before looking back at Jess, the usual kindness in her eyes gone. "To find out something and to fix the mental link. Now... Jess, what are you and your group doing here? And please... don't lie to me." She said the last bit while biting her lip, seeming to want to cry.

[hr]

Rex nodded toward Bryce before beginning to move toward the location. [color=000066] "Let's try to move up a little more, just in case. I really don't like the feel of this." [/color]

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Oh, no need for that." Bryce flipped his coin again, and a portal opened. "That'll put us about a mile away from where Ness is. From there, we can observe Ness, make sure she doesn't get MCed or something." With that, he hopped through the portal, and ended up able to see the temple in the distance.

 

[Chungus]

OoC: Anti-Hatcheh!

Ness wouldn't find a trace of the real Loki.

"We are doing what we can to end this war. That is what we are doing here." Loki remarked, his words being spokenthrough the projection. He considdered simply stabbing Ness in the back, but refrained from doing so. Not yet... I need to know if that abomination has spokes to other people. You can meet your end later.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Already? That was an awfully short visit back home." Jessica replied to Ness, chuckling a little to try and cover up how nervous she was. "And...uh...we're just...uh...trying to fix how Xiphatia is being run is all. Make it so they'd be more open to peace talks so this whole stupid war can be over with already." She answered, struggling a bit with her words at first and not looking Ness in the eyes.

 

[DotSlash]

@Nail: Why is that again?

Ness scratched the back of her head a bit. "That sounds great and all but why are you stuttering?"
Hearing Loki, she simply ignored him for the moment.

[hr]

Rex looked over before moving into the portal after Bryce.

 

[Drakmorg]

"I'm just a little surprised is all. This visit was a little sudden." Jessica replied to Ness. "Oh, I'm sorry. Where are my manners. This is Loki, he's one of my associates for the time being." She added, gesturing over to the Loki projection, as it had her fooled as well.

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Dot: In Thor, Loki kept himself and other Frost Giants hidden from someone who's omniscient. That says to me it prevents all forms of detection save for direct contact. I can't say for certain, but that's my two cents.

"We have met. Twice, in fact." Loki remarked in response to what Jessica had said. The real Loki gripped his sceptre more tightly, waiting to see what would happen next, while the projection crossed its arms.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Bryce settled back, holding out some binoculars to Rex. "lets see if we can spot her, eh?

 

[DotSlash]

@Nail: Alright then.

Ness looked over toward the Loki projection, still with her green eyes. "Yes, we've met before. You wouldn't mind having an extra hand around here, would you? Provided you're not trying to do anything crazy."

She looked toward Jess, still doubting her a bit and it was obvious on her face.

[hr]

Rex noddedm taking the binoculars and peering out toward the temple. [color=000066] "PDA says she's still good for now..." [/color]
