We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Drakmorg]

Jessica waved Lyra goodnight as she left, then proceeded to bite down on the pointer finger of her left hand in frustration. Dammit! An official report would have been incredibly valuable. We've got no info on the third and fourth events. She thought to herself in annoyance. Oh well, hopefully...dammit! I forgot to ask her name! She bit down on her finger until a small trickle of blood was drawn. Ah well. I can always learn it later. Hopefully she won't go too far. She thought with a sigh. She took a small drink from her canteen to deal with the wound she gave herself, visibly reviling at the taste, then drew another disc like the one she offered Ness from her coat. As she looked around for something, she noticed Loki standing off a distance away. How long has he been standing there? She pondered to herself as she looked at him.

 

[Chungus]

The conversation between Lyra and Jessica endend, Loki approached Jessica when she looked at he. As he walked, he gave her a kind smile, and once more twirled the scepter around between his fingers. "Good evening." he began, teleporting infront of Jessica when he was a short distance away from her. "I overheard you talk to that other woman about traveling to diferent realms. Although inrigued by the subject as I was, I did not wish to intrude on your conversation."

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica looked at Loki curiously when he said 'evening', but was taken by surprise by him teleporting in front of her. After regaining her composure, she replied to Loki, "Oh, well you could have just joined in. I wouldn't have minded it much. What about it did you find intriguing? It's actually fairly mundane where I come from."

 

[Chungus]

"I believed it too rude to do so, but if you say you do not mind, I shall bear this in mind for the next time." Loki replied, placing the tip of the blade on the scepter on the ground, it digging into the dirt slightly, while resting his hand on the other end of the scepter. "What I found intriguing is the talk of us being drawn to this place. You see, while travel between realms is hardly an oddity for me also, to date, I have never found myself in a place I did not wish to go to. I heard mention of other such insances, where people were drawn to Earth, the human realm? Coincidently, I ought be on Earth, but came here instead. So I ask; know you who or what it is that has drawn is here?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica glanced at Loki's weapon somewhat uneasily, but decided to push it out of her head as she spoke to the man. "Unfortunately, no, I don't. That's what I came here to find out, actually. And you say you were brought here instead of Earth? Odd. The records my people have of two other instances, and my own findings regarding the third, all regard people being drawn to Earth, not away from it to someplace else." She replied as she scratched her chin with her left hand. "I'll tell you what though, I'm aiming to offer people displaced by the Anomaly a way back to where they came from" Should one even exist... "So if you help me to learn more about the Anomaly, you'd be helping yourself!" She declared. "Or, I could just offer you a way to Earth if that's what you'd prefer. I'm sure my people would be glad to help you out in exchange for your assistance."

 

[Chungus]

"You can grant me means to go to Earth? I thank you for the offer, but I will have to decline." Loki answered, saking his head slightly before smiling at Jessica again, this time more mischievously. "You see, I am in fact quite content with being on this planet, as I find it to be many times more interesting. It is a world similar to Earth, yet so drastically diferent." he explained, then paused, his facial expression returning to a neutral one. "Who are "your people", you speak of, however? Earlier today, I spoke to a woman who resembled a human, yet had animal features such as their ears and a tail, not unlike yourself. She called herself a "beastkin". Is that what your kind is called also?"

 

[Drakmorg]

"Alright, suit yourself. This place certainly is interesting enough that I can see where you're coming from." Jessica said to Loki with a shrug. "You mean the woman in the main building, correct? I didn't know 'beastkin' was the term they used around here. But to answer your question, no. We prefer to be called Feline." I suppose I should grow a thick skin and just learn to accept being called beastkin while I'm here. She rested her left hand on her chin as she pondered aloud, "I wonder where I could find more of these 'beastkin'? They may be worth contacting while I'm here."

 

[Chungus]

"Yes. That is indeed the person I was refering to. Not that there could posible any confision about this, as she is the only one of her kind native to this land here." Loki answered, then paused as he let out a soft yawn, moving his left hand infront of his mouth as he did. "While I would like to continue this conversation, I find myself struckby fatigue. If you wish to continue this another day, I would hear it gladly, if not, I shan't hold it against you. Now then, good night to you." Turning around, Loki walked off.

Following the roads leading towards the baracks, Loki quickly neared them. Entering the building, he looked for an empty bed and walked over. The clothes he was wearing began glowing orange, and when the glow died down, it was revealed that they had been swapped by sleeping black clothes, the cloth expensive-looking. Climbing into the bed, Loki laid down on his back, holding the scepter on his chest.

A curios day indeed. May there be many more.

OoC: I'm off now.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica waved to Loki as he walked off. Looking over at the disc in her right hand, she remembered what she needed to do. Well great. Forgot to ask someone to hold onto this for me. Ah well, I'm sure it won't be too hard to keep track of them. She thought to herself as she slipped the disc back into her pocket. The glyphs around her head formed once again.
Seems a good time to leave. We've got a lot of information to go over, and a lot of planning to do.
Right-o.
A tear in the fabric of reality opened itself in front of Jessica, similar to the one she had just left earlier in the day. She lingered outside of it for a few moments, looking up at the sky. So this is 'night'. I kinda like it. It's never this quiet back in the city.
"What's the hold up?" shouted a voice from within the tear.
"Oh shut up." Jessica spat back through the tear as she stepped through it. Once she was through, the tear sealed itself up, once again leaving no trance that it was ever there.

OOC: I'm gone now too.

 

[Captain Anon]

Tao and Echo fall asleep.

john decided to stay and watch over Tao and Echo as he might well be their only protection, so after unclipping his Katana from his belt he sat down somewhere putting his sword next to him, he pretended to be asleep.

Outside the main building, Cynane had set up her camp. On the patch of raw earth she had erected a large tent made from animal hides and held in shape by bone supports. It was brightly decorated with dyes and various colourful artifacts, many of which had some small story behind them. Outside the tent, the big cart stood empty, all her belongings having been removed. Stripe, her Aptonoth, lay dozing on his side in front. As the sun rose Cynane pulled back a flap of the tent and stuck her head out to check on what was happening in the base. She was wearing no armour now, only some form-fitting soft clothing made from black, leathery looking animal hide.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: Heya. Anyone here?

 

[Furioso]

OoC: @Gear, I am


Rita was awake. She made her way to the mess hall and grabbed a bite to eat before sitting at an empty table and pulling out her book again, drawing something in it.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: @Furi K then. What's the terrain around the base? Just stone, right?

 

[Furioso]

@Gear, not really sure, I missed a lot of the beginning of the thread. You could just have your characters pop in inside the base, there's a map in the codex of page 1

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: @Furi Thanks. This is my first major attempt at writing in a while, so please, be gentle...

Across the mess hall from Rita, there was a small, tired groan.

 

[Furioso]

Rita totally ignored the groan, and continued to draw

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: ...wow, Rita's a *****.

Eventually, the groan stopped. The man emmiting it, who had been until this point lying on floor, began standing up, using a table to balance mysself.

 

[Furioso]

OoC: @Gear, well that's a bit harsh

Rita, now noticing the groan hadn't come from a bored guard or something of the sort looked up at the man. "What happened to you? Slip on some food?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: @Furi Ok yeah, that was harsh. My bad.

The man finished standing up. "No, I'm allright." He tok a second to stretch one of his legs, then looked around. "Where are we?"
