We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Drakmorg]

Jessica sighed and took a moment to rub the bridge of her nose as everything she read seemed to pertain to the war. After composing herself, she went back and read over everything again for details. Captain Astasis? Isn't that the person Major Bellerophon said he was under? I wonder if his offer to go and talk with him is still valid? Guess I won't know for sure until I try. She pondered, then gave herself a shrug. After letting out a small yawn and sneezing into her sleeve once again, Jessica gave the information in the tablet a once-over to see if there was anything else worth noting.

"Very good." Loki said with a devious grin, taking the card with his right hand, between his fingers and slipping it in his pocket. "Well. That concludes our meeting. Good day to you." He then said, heading for the door, but stopping before leaving the office. "Oh. And this human food? It is suprisingly appatising." With that, he left, giving the girl at the counter a smile before leaving the store. Right. That made this trip worthwhile afterall. Now I need only wait a few days before doing it again at another location.

Strange illness in Granite Pass

There have been several cases of a strange illness appearing in Granite Pass.  Victims seem to suffer nausea, fatigue and vommiting.  The Granite Pass Quarry Association has officially stated that they know of no cause for the sudden illnesses, yet all of the victims seem to work in the same general vicinity.

"Her Valkrie armor is incredibly strong. Powerful offense and defense. Weapons that can switch between long and short range on the fly and a powerful attack that can cripple airships with a few shots. But that's nothing. Her strategies are top notch. She's one of Legaia's best weapons in any war." The mechanic explains.

[hr]

"Thank you, sir." The manager says as Loki leaves.

 

[Furioso]

"Really? Wow, this war should be over in a few days then, huh?" asked Rita, who was smart enough to mask the sarcasm that her voice would have otherwise contained making this statement.

 

[FPSfanatic]

"No- I mean, yeah, thats part of it, but its more, more focused on the idea that we've been called to help bring balance. Never mind what we get out of it, how we find enjoyment. This is about things being wrong, a world unsure in its balance, and us being called in to reassert balance on the problem. I suppose its religious, since its faith based, but it still has an impact. We don't belong here, yet here we are following our original Long fangs footsteps in correcting wrong. How well we do it is dependent on us. I can't really explain it past that."

 

[Saltyk]

"I see... I think I can respect that... I'll take my leave, now. Thank you. It was enlightening." Savranth said as he walked back towards the hotel.

[hr]

"I don't know about that... Anyway, ya done with your science project? Or do you need something else?" The mechanic asked.

 

[Chungus]

Largely having done what he wished to do for the time being, Loki decided to look around the city whilst the city was less busy, as it now was late in the evening and many of the people of Fourside had gone home or were going to do so soon. Not having a paticular destination in mind, he went east of the government building.

 

[Drakmorg]

Certainly something worth keeping in mind. Wonder if this has something to do with the Quarry posting want ads? Certainly wouldn't surprise me if they were short-handed because of this. Jessica mused to herself. She gave the tablet one last look-over, this time looking for articles related to technology, as she was trying to gauge how advanced Legaia seemed in comparison to Xiphatia and her homeland.

 

[Furioso]

"Nah, thanks for the tour" said Rita as she left. Since it was getting late she headed to the government building. Fascinating... I had never even imagined a power source coming from anything outside of magic.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Lyra waved him off, setting up camp later. She resigned herself to sleep, and her as well as Marcus slept away on the beach, Xyleena watching out.

 

[Saltyk]

Savranth returns to the hotel. This time is more mundane clothing he doesn't cause nearly as much of a stir. Still need that scabbard, though...

Returning to his room, he goes to bed.

Next Generation Mech officially added to Military Forces.

Officially unveiled are the Next Generation of Battlemech.  Currently they are only being deployed to defend Solaris as the production cycle is not yet complete to field fully.  These new units have far greater output, partly thanks to Professor Lucia's work on producing a more efficient generator.  Developed largely by Prime Minister Sebastion, they will revolutionize our forces capabilities in the future.

This also promises to the development of more efficient vehicles, probably reducing the cost of all current and future models, also allowing for better propulsion, perhaps even flight.

Rumors persist that there is an even more powerful mech that has not been revealed publicly.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica looked up from the news tablet and waved at Savranth as she noticed him walk by. She yawned and realized that despite having taken a nap earlier in the day, she felt exhausted. She went up to her room and checked the refrigerator to see if she was lucky enough to find it already stocked with things to eat.

 

[Furioso]

Rita stood outside the government building

 

[Saltyk]

Jessica would find some small things to eat in the fridge. Nothing too big, but enough to snack on.

[hr]

Rita would notice that the streets were rather quiet right now. The building was shutting down as an employee started to go home for the night.

 

[Furioso]

Rita called out to the employee "Hey! Is there any place to sleep around here?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Goodie! Things are already looking up! Jessica thought, not having remembered a time when she was happier to see food in her life. She ate a few things, sitting by the window and looking out at the night sky once again, then climbed into bed and fell asleep.

OOC: That's it for me tonight. G'night folks!

 

[Saltyk]

The employee looked at Rita. "Yeah. There are plenty of hotels. You had to pass some on the way here, I'm sure."

 

[Chungus]

After a while of walking, Loki found a hotel. With little else to do for the day, as many of the businesses were closed already or were about to do so, he decided to rent a room.

"Hello. Can I help you, sir?" A man behind the counter asked when Loki walked up to it.

"Yes. I would like to rent one room."

"Okay. Would you like a regular one, or business class?"

"A regular one, please."

"Very well then. That would be 300 credits, please."

Retrieving the credit card, Loki briefly wondered what to do with it, before he spotted a apparatus on the counter he didn't recognise saying "insert card here", with an arrow that pointed down towards a slot. Inserting the card in the slot, there was a moment of silence until a bleep could be heard. With the transfer complete, the cashier gaze a swipe key to Loki. "Here you go, sir. Room 105 is on the third floor. Have a nice stay."

Retrieving the credit card and placing it back in his pocket, and took the key. Not understanding how an elevator worked, or even what it was, Loki took the stairs to the third floor and walked to his room. Figuring the key-card worked the same as the credit card, Loki inserted it into the slot besides the door, unlocking it. Retrieving the key-card, Loki entered the room, closed the door and went to bed.

OoC: I'm off.

 

[Furioso]

Hotels? Judging by these buildings it must be the fancy inn...
"Well... how bout a place to sleep for those who don't have a lot of money."

 

[Saltyk]

"Well, there aren't many options for that. A Homeless shelter, perhaps? But if you're needing a place to sleep, why don't you come with me? I'll put you up for the night. After that, though, you better find a place on your own." The employee suggested.

OoC: @Furi: I'll be going to bed, soon.
