We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Zepherus14]

The waitress pretended not to notice Jessica's glare, she however wore a smile of satisfaction the entire time. She knew exactly what she'd said and enjoyed it too. She walked over to the other side of the table the girls had sat in, and looked to answer Vanessa's question. "Oh of course, we have several ciders, root beer, several juice, and..." Looking down at her tablet that she carried for the order. "White and chocolate milk..." she said.

The barkeep refilled the glass of the man. There were a whole bunch of fancy camera angles and shots that were taken by this momentous moment.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness orders a root beer for herself and Echo, before looking over at the man and turning toward him. "Excuse me, sir... Could I ask you something?" She ignores the various cameras as she refills the man's drink.

[hr]

After skillfully hiding the dead man's body, Yukino goes to sleep, curled up into a ball as usual.

 

[Saltyk]

Thyme steps back at bit as Lyra starts to spin at him with a knife. "You sure are jumpy... You better not do that around my daughter or... Well, you better not do that around my daughter." He says.
He thinks about it for a second. Do I really wanna risk her hurting Mint, if she's this jumpy..?
He gives her the once over. "If you'll clean the leftover dishes, which will help out Paprika, I'll let you stay in a small room. But don't you even think of hurting my daughter or my wife. And don't go making this a habit."

[hr]

The man simply waves off the barkeep and sips on his drink again.

 

[Saltyk]

"Why are a bunch of kids in a bar at night?" He asks, not turning to look at the girls, all that is visible is the back of his head and his red hair.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica listened to the waitress list off drinks and let her eyes droop half-way closed. She's obviously just trying to bait me here...but I do really need something to get the taste of that horrible water out of my mouth."I'll have what they're having." She said neutrally to the waitress, signalling she wanted the same thing as her two companions. She listened in to see if Ness could get anything out of the man. "Uh, maybe bringing Echo here wasn't the best idea...and I'm not a kid!"

 

[FPSfanatic]

"I'm sorry sir. Today's been pretty rough, way worse then usual, and I'm a little too much on edge. You get ambushed once, you start worrying you'll get ambushed again." she rubbed her stab wound a bit, and headed into the kitchen. "but I promise you, I will not touch your child, or your wife. Puns notwithstanding." she then began doing the dishes, humming a song to herself.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness shakes her head toward Jessica. "As opposed to leaving her alone in a hotel? I understand this isn't a responsible move on my part, but at least we won't leave her wandering around..."

Turning to the man, Ness smiles, unaffected by the man's bluntness. "We're just trying to learn a few things about this country. May my friend and I ask you a few questions?"

 

[Zepherus14]

"Well, I'll get them momentarily." She said, giving a head nod to Vanessa and Echo, and then left.

 

[Saltyk]

Thyme brought a key and set it on the table behind Lyra. "Room 329, on the third floor. I trust you can handle everything from here." He asked, still a little weary of Lyra.

[hr]

"Oh, yes, you're 28 girl, but your little friend there is only 15. So why bring a kid here?" He asks sipping his beer. Putting it down he asks. "And just what are you wanting to ask?"

 

[FPSfanatic]

"of course." Lyra said, before washing the dishes, humming her tune.

 

[Saltyk]

"Then, I'll be taking my leave, now. Good night. Take care of yourself." Thyme said as he left to go to bed himself.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Yeah, you're probably right." Jessica relented to Ness. Hearing the man, she sighed and said, "Maybe I should just take Echo and find some place to stay for the night." She looked over at the man with an eyebrow raised and asked, "Wait, how do you know how old I am?"

 

[Saltyk]

"It pays to be observant. I made an educated guess." The red haired man said.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness calmly raises an eyebrow at the man. "I just told my friend my reasoning for doing that. I'm not proud of doing this either, but at least we'll keep her safe this way. As for what we want to ask, I could use some information pertaining to technology in this country." That's one hell of a guess...

 

[Zepherus14]

The waitress returned with the three root beers.

 

[DotSlash]

Before taking the drink, Ness calmly asks the waitress how much it all costs.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Lyra nodded, and eventually finished up, drying off her hands. She went up, settled in her room, and fiddled with her bracer to send a message to the clanging claymore to begin construction on an astartes landing vehicle, and warning them that they could be moored on this world. She then fell asleep, wishing her bretheren speedy arrival.

 

[Zepherus14]

"100 Credits miss. Why do you ask?"

 

[Saltyk]

"What of it?" He asked, never turned to look at them.

 

[Drakmorg]

Bit of a broad question there. Jessica thought as she heard what Ness asked the man. She was about to take a sip of her drink when she heard what the waitress said, Oh, right, of course they'd use different money. Money that we don't have any of....Ah, what are Ness and Echo even going to do about a place to sleep? She got a worried look on her face as she pondered.
