"no need. Just be ready to catch me if I fuck up." her drones disconnect from her belt, and their mouths clamp on to her legs in inhuman displays of reach. Their thrusters turn and activate to fling her up, arms windmilling.

"I see. This would be yet another form of magic I never knew exsisted then. How strange that throughout various realms, magic can differ so." Loki remarked, mostly musing aloud whilst looking up at the celing. "Tell me, why is it you started studying the arcane arts?"
OoC @FPS: Durka derb!!!

After reading chapter 2, Ness closes the book and begins to put her hand to her chin. "A motley crew of psychopaths all gathered for a common goal.... Wait... I think..." She calmly rises off the couch and exits the room, locking it. She then walks over to Jessica's room and knocks on the door, still holding the book. "Jessica... Are you there?"

Rex looks up at Lyra flying up from under her, really hoping that uncomfortable pose was really worth it.

Lyra continued flying forward, eventually going over the hotel. The thrusters slowed in intensity, and she dropped to the roof. She popped her head over the side, and called out "your turn!"
As Jessica was cleaning her coat she could have sworn she'd seen something fly past the window, but she shrugged it off. After finishing her coat, she laid it out to dry. When Ness knocked on the door she got up and answered it. Opening the door slightly, she asked, "Something you need, Vanessa?"
"So you were born into it as it were, then. Our tales share some similarities. I too, started studying the arcane arts as a result of the place I called home. Not because all were born a sorcerer, however. Far from it. It was a realm of brash warriors. All possessed immense strength, strength which I never could hope to match. Yet I had something they did not. A sharp mind. I took to sorcery to compensate for my lack of strength, and in time, I too became the most powerful sorcerer of the realm, and at last I could stand with the others. Or against them. Battles waged over even the pettiest of disputes were common place, after all."
OoC @Ness: Psychopaths? Nah. Sociopaths at most.

Suddenly struck by an idea, Rex walks around the hotel until he manages to face a corner. He leans back for a few moments, and his shoes begin to glow blue. He runs up at it and boosts himself up. As soon as he touches the corner with his foot, he boosts again. This process makes it look like he's skipping up the side of the hotel. He grabs the ledge of the roof and rolls up onto it. He gives a little thumbs up to Lyra. "Guess I had a way to do that without busting any windows.... Awesome!"

Ness nods slightly. "Yes... I think... Rex and Echo... were part of a dimensional anomaly. You may want to talk to him if you can."

OoC: @Nail, gotta get heading to bed soon
"Is that so? It seems stupidity is pretty common no matter where you go, Aspio has a pretty tiny population, and even then most of them are in it just because they think it would be cool to cast a fire ball. Only a few people really deserve the title of "scholar.""

"bah, your weak girly jetboots are no match for my skull drones." Lyra deadpans, before breaking into snorting laughter. "be honest now. How stupid did I look coming up? I've done that once before, but I broke a leg doing it."
"You mean before now?" Jessica asked, opening the door more since it was awkward to speak out of. "Because if so, then they could both be of great help. Well, Rex could at least. If only I could find a better way to communicate with Echo..." She trailed off as she scratched her chin in thought with her left hand and placed her right on her hip. "Oh I'm sorry, was there something else you needed?"
OoC @Furioso: I should've been in bed like two hours ago. Let's wrap this up.
"Let the fools think they mean anything. In truth, they all look to one higher then themselves to rule them. Without rule, the results are nothing short of disgraceful..." Loki remarked, anger begining to seep through his voice. Shaking his head, he stood up. "Enough on the subject. Let us get some rest. What say you we claim a room to stay in?"

OoC: @Nail, same, feel free to wrap everything up in your post if you'd like
What's with this guy? As far as I've ever seen so called "rulers" have been pretty useless. thought Rita as she stood up "Yea, I could use some rest... I don't have any money to pay for a room though."

With a deadpan voice, Rex replies. "You looked pretty dumb." Switching back to his normal voice, he tilts his head a bit. "Girly...? I'd think they're flashy more than anything else. And you've done stuff like that before? ...Why?"
[hr]
Ness puts her hand to her chin and scratches the back of her neck. "No... Sorry, I just thought that I should tell you before I ended up forgetting. And yes, the 1st time I tested my portal, Rex came back with reports that fit the description of your anomaly."

Vanessa smiled at Ness and chuckled. "No need to apologize for anything! Anyway, thanks for telling me. As far as I know, first hand accounts are the best way to gather data on something like this, so having one or two more should be a decent help to my research." She replied, sounding much happier than she had been a few hours ago.
"flashy, and they light up like a christmas tree whenever you use them. Good old Yatjua tech lets you go invisible as you slit a guys throat. Much more sensible." Lyra chuckled, but didn't suggest that what she said was a lie. "sometimes I need to hunt in an urban enviroment, to catch a traitor. Last time, the guy was in a spaceport and I needed to get over the partition keeping the riff raff from walking in. I did that trick, one of the skulls bit my leg hard enough to break it, and I landed on the target as I fell. He got a knife to the gut, and I booked it out of there with my drones carrying me." as she spoke, she unrolled a blanket and sat on one end, fiddling with her bracer.
"No matter." Loki answered as he walked outside. "Being a master of illusion comes with many advantages. Follow and observe." Walking towards the inn, Loki concealed the pressence of both himself and Rita. Entering the inn, Loki casually walks behind the woman behind the counter and takes a key hanging from the wall. Having done that, Loki climbed the stairs and walked to room 12. All the while, the woman who owns the inn is completely oblivious. Once in the room, Loki wiated for Rita to enter before closing the door and locking it.
"There we are. Good night to you." His clothing glowed orange as they changed from his regular attire to sleeping clothes. Climbing into bed, Loki made the scepter disappear into thin air, then laid down and fell asleep.
OoC: Right then. I'm off. G'night.

Ness smiles a bit and bows to Jessica before leaving to go back to her room. Once there, she opens the book and begins reading the third chapter. This... is actually pretty well written. And that's how the writer came into existence? ...Amazing...

Rex chuckles a bit. "I see... And yeah, I know what you mean about the boosters, but some times, style trumps functionality... sometimes. Sorry to hear you had to put down a traitor and got hurt on the job though." He scratches the back of his head with his bandaged arm as he lays himself down on the bare floor/roof. If Lyra had exceptional hearing, she might notice a faint whirring sound.

"getting hurt happens. Its more killing the traitor that hurt. He was... Close to me before he decided to support an enemy clan that had been part of our 'cleansing' as they liked to call it. Mind if I ask how you got banged up? Looks like a raptor pack got done chewing with you." Lyra said, diverting the conversation as she remembered Blake.
