We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[DotSlash]

Ness looks over at Echo walking away and scratches the back of her head before talking to Felina. "I did something to piss her off.... I'm not good with kids..." Rex chuckles at this, leading Ness to give him a death stare. She quickly starts eating her food. "Thank you."

[hr]

Rex looks over at Felina and shrugs. "The stuff that actually happens is always weirder than fiction. Or so they say."

 

[Saltyk]

"I see. The way you were talking sounded like your people simply collected books on different worlds. That is a bit different. I can see somewhat how it is. Still, odd that someone would create a portal to this world. Sounds like the sort of thing that would have to be done intentionally." Savranth then stands.
"Anyway, I'll be taking my leave... Good night."

OoC: And I need to go to sleep, so night.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica found herself rather curious about what Noel and Kyouske were talked about, so she continued to stand nearby and listen in on their conversation. When Kyouske mentioned something about scars, she started rubbing her right shoulder a bit uncomfortably. Now now, don't go jumping to any conclusions...

 

[Chungus]

"I doubt we would recieve a reward for the simple act of reporting it, as it would be noticed eventually. No, what I meant is trying to acsertain wherther or not this was an act of vandalism. And if this proves to be the case, try and find out who is responsible. While the odds of sucsess in a city as large as this is slim at best, it might still be worth the effort." Loki answered. As he neared Fourside, he swapped his regular attire back to the business suit, and the scepter for the cane.
[hr]
"That's probably true. Because I've never read anything wierder then these stories either." Felina said to Rex, then turned to Ness. "I'm sorry to hear that." she said solemly. "Mind giving me your card again? Since the girl left, it wouldn't be fair that you paid for something that hadn't even arived yet."

 

[Slenn]

"Goodnight, Savranth." He finished his bowl and returned the dishes to the kitchen.

He exited the inn and set up camp outside of Holadino near the car.

OOC: I'm off too. G'night!

 

[Furioso]

"Maybe, I still wouldn't feel right accepting the reward."

 

[DotSlash]

Rex nods toward Felina and heads out. He walks over to Ness' car and goes to sleep inside it.

Ness hands her card back to Felina with a sheepish smile. "Thanks."

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

"It really was about Yukina was it." Noel said solemnly.

"You knew from the get go whenever we had a virtual chat back home. Welts, bumps and lumps... We were bullied like all hell. But as you said: 'Violence doesn't solve it. It just creates more violence'... Strange ideals for a mercenary mom."

"But I digress. One day... It happened. Why else would I sing Foster The People's 'Pumped Up Kicks' or even 'Break Stuff' by Limp Bizkit? But obviously some people just don't understand that, huh?"

"To me, it might have been a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding or not, people in general cannot be trusted. The moment that they get close to you, they are more bound to hurt you. Annabelle's case was a prime showcase of that."

Noel got up and glared at her son. "So do you love her?"

"[sub]I do...[/sub] By God, I do... But I cannot allow myself to be hung by such an emotion. Wars, battles conflicts. They don't care about any of that. Everybody in that field becomes a target, regardless of their status before hand."

"So you're just going to throw away those ideals of your's huh? What... What happened to the boy that wanted to save universe? The one that believed his sword would be the one that would cleave a new tomorrow? The boy that loved and cared for all things?"

"... He died two years ago, when THAT happened." Kyosuke looked back at he mom, with piercing eyes. "Why do you cling on those ideals of your's like my father before me knowing that you killed in friendly fire? Many, in friendly fire?"

Noel looked down as she helplessly shrugged and sat down. "You told me enough. I see why you are jaded, why I 'hear' something else whenever I see you smile."

 

[Chungus]

"You need not. Perhaps it shan't even be offered, or perhaps offering will prove to be unnecessary. But if a reward is offered, would it not be rude to not accept it?" Loki asked as he entered Fourside and made his way towards the nearest hotel.
[hr]
Taking Ness' credit card, Felina transfered the credits Echo's meal cost back, then handed the card back to Ness and walked back behind the counter where she took off her apron and started turning several apparatuses off in preperation for closing. "You've never had children of your own, no?" she asked Ness.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness calmly shook her head toward Felina, smiling sadly. "...No. I've never even been in a romantic relationship before... Pathetic, huh?"

 

[Drakmorg]

War this, war that, I've already got four different wars I have to worry about. I don't need more to have to think about. Jessica thought as she decided to stop listening to Noel and Kyouske. Seeing Rex walk past her and climb into the car, she glanced inside. She was about to speak to Rex when she noticed he was already asleep, so she just shrugged and started fiddling with her bracelet.

 

[Furioso]

"Hmm, I'm not sure if it would be rude... I don't know, just wouldn't feel right to take a reward."

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

"And now you know. You know the common drill with these people."

Noel gave a hesitant nod before saying. "It's time for bed."

The two entered inside the hotel, to Ness's room and fell asleep.

 

[Chungus]

"If a reward is offered, that is your choice to make. I myself, however, shan't turn it down." Loki answered, entering the lobby of a hotel, then turned to Rita. "Now, shall we share a room to save cost, or would you prefer it if you have a room of your own?"
[hr]
"Eh. Not really." Felina answered with a slight shrug. "It's not like you're less of a person because of it. Besides, it's not like how you see in those cheesy movies, where everything is all great all of the time, that I can assure you."

 

[Furioso]

"Saving the money would be the most logical solution, besides, the rooms have multiple beds right?" asked Rita, who was used to inns having about 8 beds per room

 

[DotSlash]

Ness smiles slightly as she finishes her food. "I know that things aren't always perfect, even in just friendly relations. But thanks, I get teased for that a lot back where I'm from."

 

[Chungus]

"Not by default, I think. But there must be rooms that have multiple beds." Loki answered as he walked over to the reseptionist. Inquiring about wherther the hotel had rooms with more then one bed, and how much it would cost, Loki found that such a room would cost 280 credits. After paying and recieving the key, Loki walked back to Rita. "Since I am uncertain just how this odd transaction system works, and thus cannot simply split the cost, I think it is fair to ask you be the one who pays for a room next time we have need of one."
[hr]
"People always find things to be a ass about. Even the smallest of things." Felina answered with a sigh as she walks over to Ness' table and retrieved her plate.

 

[Furioso]

"Fine." said Rita as she headed to the room and went to sleep in one of the beds

OoC: off to bed

 

[DotSlash]

Ness rises up out of her seat and nods calmly. "Yes.. They always do. It's just how people are, I guess. They need to boost themselves by shoving other people under them... I hate that."

 

[Chungus]

Loki followed after Rita and fell asleep in the remaining bed.
[hr]
"Yeah... You and me both. Best you can do about it is prove them wrong and show how little they really are. That's what I always tell my daughter anway. When you stand miles above them, and all they can do is repeat the same insult over and over, that's when you know you've won. At least, that's how it should work..." Felina remarked as she turned off the lights in the diner and headed for the door.
