We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[CmmdrRosh99]

Noel nodded in acknowledgement at Tiberius before heading off.

Once entering the Barracks, Noel sighed again as she unfolded the cylinder on her back as it became a pole that was roughly as tall as her. Extending her arms to the side, the cylinder unpacked itself as several mechanical arms started disassembling the armor as Noel was left with a simple sleeveless grey shirt and a white loose pants. The shirt had the symbol of the Wardens on the front, a kite shield just above two cut lines of olive branches.

As the cylinder silently packed itself up again, Noel easily hauled with her to a bed she claimed for the night. This world... We shouldn't greatly interfere with its affairs... And that girl. I only hope that we could keep her stable. She then fell asleep.

"Yeah, wel-..." "Beatrice" then gripped her head with both hands as she started to look up directly at the ceiling, her mouth slowly opening as if something was shooting her up with pain.....

Spoiler: Memory One out of fourteen

A young girl with light brown hair stepped outside of little ranch house. A light breeze traced her body, as she raised a hand into the wind, as the breeze tickled down her arm through the sleeves. She giggled at the sensation as she continued to walk outside, hopping every other step.

The quiet community housing of Farmington, New Haven. The sun shining down on the new houses sprouting up along her family's house. A few construction machines were scattered about the freshly paved roads and dirt, but she didn't seem to mind. It was... Friday, Saturday? She couldn't remember, as if it really mattered to her. She continued to look around at the new houses, wondering what new families would be moving in soon. Would they be nice like her friends back in Kindergarden? Who knows, it was a completely new experience and she enjoyed every single moment of it.

Birthday, birthday... Today, today! she thought, giggling down towards her family's minivan.

A man and a woman looked at young girl and smiled. The man, probably around 32 years old, had slightly rugged face, a sense of tiredness in his eyes. Dark brown hair cut relatively short and spiked slightly in front around his widow's peak. A fairly built body toned to that of a recently retired soldier.

The woman had a fair face, yet its beauty was tarnished by a visible scar stretching from the edge of her lips to just below her right eye. Her long strawberry blonde hair swayed slightly with the breeze, allowing a few strands to cover part of her face. Like the man before, her body was build similar to a freshly retired soldier.

"Charlotte... Guess what today is?" the man asked.

"My birthday daddy!" she squealed with joy, throwing her arms in the air, almost losing balance. The two of them chuckled at their young daughter.

"Well come'on sweetie, we gotta get going?"

"Is everybody from kin-dar-gard-eeen coming too?" she asked, tilted her head alittle.

Her father chuckled as he walked over to the driver's side of the minivan. "I think so. The Brants, the Johnsons and a few others and coming too. And its pronounced 'Kindergarden'."

Charlotte pouted slightly as she puffed up her face and crossed her arms. She hated being corrected. Walking over to the open cabin door a insect hovered close to her face. A splash of orange and black veins on its wings as it fluttered up and down, left to right, side to side. It frightened her slightly until she figured out what it was.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Charlotte said, pointing at the bug.

"What is it dear?"

"A butterfly! [sub]A butterfly![sub] A butterfly! [sub] A butterfly![/sub][/sub][/sub]"

Releasing her head, she suddenly collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

OoC: Night.

 

[Chungus]

"How do you mean? If my questions make you uncomfortable, you had but say. I have no wish to make the personel of my host feel as such. So, I ask again. May I indulge my cursiousity further, or would you rather have the subject changed?" Loki asked, the projection leaning on the counter slightly, the shadow it cast on the counter as it did were as if it were real.

The real Loki noted another person coming in; yet another knight. But he assumed Sable was native to Xiphatia, and thus paid little atention.

 

[Sablestick]

Sable approaches Loki and The Secretary, "Excuse me, would either of you two happen to know the particulars of this location? There seems to be a gathering of being not originally from this universe centered in this area."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Name, miss." Echo said with a nod, smiling a bit as she heard the voice of Rex, frowning at Yukino's voice. She started to wonder if anyone besides the person who originally put the curse on her could take it away.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Lyra looks up from her ship diagram in time to see Beatrice pass out. "Oh good. Longest conversation with a person today, and on top of her being a prickly *****, she's clearly suffering mental disorders. Smooth move, exlax." she slides out of her chair, sidles up next to Beatrice, and jabs Tao in the stomach with her hand. "Hey, help me out here. I can't carry this girl all on my own. Sooner you help, sooner we can get you a real live bed."

 

[Furioso]

Rita thought for a moment "Well there is this one girl who can use healing abilities... but I haven't figured out how yet...anyways, is there some kind of library here? I'd like to learn more about your magic."

 

[Chungus]

So, the knight was yet another person that was displaced afterall. The real Loki frowned, still invisible and standing some distance away from the counter. He was annoyed by the fact that him questioning the secretary was being interupted, not not overly so, knowing he could ask others if need be. The projection looked over its shoulder to Sable. "We are in a mage nation by the name of "Xiphatia". I know not the name of the world itself." he answered.

 

[Demonjazz]

Having finished the sandwich he thought for a moment on the recording "I will save your voices from this treasonous witch's box!" He said smashing the recorder with his sword

 

[Saltyk]

"By the way, Knight. I suggest you not speak of summoners too openly. The Xiphatian Royal Family has the Blood Line Magic of Summoning. Someone may think you mean them harm, if you discuss that in the open." Tiberius said to Steiner.

He bent down and looked at Echo, placing a hand on her head. "Curious... This is not a mere illness, that is for certain. Curses are not a part of Xiphatian magic. In fact, Legaians claim we can cast curses due to a lack of understanding of the art. I'm not sure I can remove this so easily..."

He stood after a moment. He almost didn't hear Rita, but gave a delayed reaction. "Oh. Excuse me, miss. I'm sorry, this is a military installation. We have no such facilities here. There is the school of Winterhorn North-West of here, but they don't take visitors too easily."

[hr]

"If you insist, sir." She says to Loki. The Raccoon beastkin secretary looks at Sable. "You, too? This is Xiphatia. Specifically a military base near it's border with Legaia." She explained.

 

[Zepherus14]

'So some think there is a holy war here.' She almost wanted to laugh, but decided not too. "The things people will believe I guess? I should let you go and take care of... that, but before you go... is there anywhere to sleep or possibly wash up?" She said, shifting her head a little as she still saw Tao sleeping on the table, and it didn't look comfortable.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica nodded appreciatively at Tiberius. "Thank you. Nice to know I can go about my work without having to worry about stepping on your toes. I've been told by my superiors to try and do that as little as possible."

Jessica chuckled a little and said to Ness, "Looks like we've got quite a lot of things to talk about." She stood back and curiously observed what Ness was doing with the tape recorder and Echo. She groaned and rolled her eyes at seeing Steiner try to smash the tape recorder. Chuckling to herself, she thought to try and have a bit of fun with Steiner and drew the rectangular device from earlier from her coat. She used it on Steiner once again, creating a bright flash.

Hearing Rita's question, Jessica's ears twitched as she mentally face-palmed herself. Library! How could I have forgotten to ask if they have a library? In response, she made sure to pay attention to Tiberius' response to Rita's question. She groaned after hearing his reply.

 

[Furioso]

"Of course they don't, what would I have to do to get in?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

Echo shied away from the general when he made it clear he didn't exactly know what he was doing.

"Meow! Why'd you have to do that bone lady!?!? Tao was sleeping, meow!" Tao complained as she frowned at Lyra.

 

[Sablestick]

"Thank you miss, and you as well sir, now miss, as you seem to be a native of this universe, has there been any highly irregular occurances as of late?"

ooc: @Nailik Would Loki's projection count as a sort of magic, and if so, would you be fine with Sable being able to detect it?

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Come on, this person just passed out, and we need to get you shifted to a proper sleeping area if you want to actually sleep. Two birds with one stone, and all that. Now, help me move the body." Lyra grabbed Beatrice's arms, waiting for Tao to grab on to her legs.

 

[Demonjazz]

"Ah I'm blinded!" He said rubbing his eyes before looking at Jess "Why would you use that against me"

 

[DotSlash]

OoC: @demon: Berserk button, ho!

Ness smiled a bit as she bows toward Echo. "It's nice to meet you in person, Miss Echo. My colleagues have told me quite a bit about you."

As Steiner declares to smash her beloved PDA, Ness' eyes narrow as she moves deceptively fast and her ammo belt glows red. In a moment and after seeing a flow of red pixels, ones and zeros flow into her hand, Steiner would find a golden .44 Magnum with an absurdly large chamber pointed at his eye. Ness spoke with a voice of pure venom. "I understand that you may not have seen technology like this in your universe, but, so help me god, I will eviscerate you if you take another shot at trying to destroy this. ...Do I make my self clear, knight?"

Calming herself and dispelling her golden gun, she nods toward Jess. "Indeed we do... and thank you for protecting my equipment. I owe you one." Hearing about the library, Ness turns toward Tiberius expectantly.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Mmm, okay, meow." Tao said as she helped Lyra.

Echo suddenly looked very tired. "Nice to meet you." Echo said with a small smile as she yawned.

 

[Saltyk]

"That is not a problem, miss. Though, you should be careful. Not everyone is as understanding as I. Especially not some officers in the Xiphatian military. You should all be careful before displaying your technology. Some may try to kill first and ask questions never. Like Lieutenant Colonel Blake Hawking. And the same goes for magic in Legaia." Tiberius tells Jessica, but extends the last part to the whole group.

He looks to Rita. "Well, the guard at the entrance only lets those in, that know the password. I believe Headmaster Anna would happily see you if you could get that far."

[hr]

"As you wish. If you look left after leaving the Mess Hall, you will see the Barracks. You should see if they can put you up there for the night. I doubt there is any other place you could sleep and we are short on soldiers at the moment." Savranth informed Sasha. "If that is all you need, I'll take my leave."

[hr]

"No, sir. Not that I am aware of. Other than a bunch of strange people in odd clothes appearing all of a sudden." The secretary explained to Sable.

OoC: @Demon: By the way, Tiberius did address Steiner. I understand if he had other things on his mind. XD

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Sable: Yes on both accounts.

The knight answered, Loki turned back to the secretary. "You have my gratitude. Now, you mentioned beastkin sometimes transfering their children to parrents in the other nation? Is it because those that are born without the ability to use magic are accepted in Legaia, while they are not here? Or is there more to it?"
