We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Furioso]

"Hmm... oh, isn't there a port city down south? We could always go there." suggested Rita

[hr]

Had the treants moved some of the boulders out of the way they would have discovered that one of them had been strategically placed over a hole in the ground, where Envy had dug his way out in the same fashion as his escape from the barracks at Fourside. He had the Legaian equipment with him still, but back at the battle sight various unimportant scraps of the uniform could be found lying around, but only enough to tell that it was from a Legaian uniform and not much else.

 

[Saltyk]

Savranth, seeing Rex holds up his hand, as a signal for calm as he tries to walk towards the brothel on the opposite side of the street.
"Careful. We don't want to catch that airship's attention. That's exactly why I'm heading back. If Jessica is spotted by them or meets that man who went in..." He let his statement trail off a bit to imply the consequences could be bad.

[hr]

The last of the beastkin make their way through the portal.

[hr]

The man slowly walked through the room, his rifle ready and primed. His finger on the trigger. He begins to step into the room with Jessica and the beastkin and...

[hr]

Volarian was walking about the base, keeping an eye on the soldiers and making sure that they stay in line.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Very well then." Persephone said. She gently and gracefully placed her hand on Ness' chin and turned her back to look directly at her again. "I will be watching you, in addition to her. Remember that." she said coldly as she squised the other woman's face ever so slightly, just to establish dominance. She started to walk away, gracefully gliding over the ground, when she stopped suddenly. "There is another girl that will be with Echo now. I...care for her as much as I do Echo, my own flesh and blood. If you could keep an eye on her as well, I would be...most grateful." she said without turning around. She then left in a cloud of purple smoke.

Tao will follow Noel around.

OOC: Goodnight people.

 

[DotSlash]

A smirk spreads across Yukino's face. She whispers back [color=bb66bb] [small] "Is that so...? I'd love to see soldier boy in action. Let's get going before we miss anything big!" [/small] [/color] With that, she turns and starts walking nonchalantly toward the brothel.

[hr]

Rex notes Sav's signal and puts his hands into his hoodie. "Right, right. ...Damn it, wanted to rush in there..."

[hr]

Ness lets out a bit of a sigh as Persephone leaves. Looks like I've got to strap up again. Wasting no time, she makes her way over toward Noel and Charlotte, eventually following them into the hotel.

 

[Chungus]

"There is. Quite literally on the opposite site of the continent. It would take days to reach on foot. For the time being, we had best return to Fourside and find a hotel once more."
[hr]
Seeing Volarian and firuring he was in charge, since he was drilling other soldiers, the beastkin ran over to him in a panic. Once they reached him, they all began shouting over one another's voices incomprehensibly, made even more so by the fact that they had hardly caught their breath.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Kyosuke followed after Yukino, keeping his caution with him. Unlike a Revenant-Class, sneaking would be naturally difficult. Not cripplingly so, but still. "[sub]Sounds good to me![/sub]"
[hr]
Noel and Charlotte had placed Tao, Holly and Echo to bed as Charlotte fell asleep next to them. Noel noticed Ness and gave a polite bow before relaxing on a recline-able chair, sighing. Her armor was detached and held on the folder cylinder.

 

[Furioso]

Rita nodded in agreement "Yea, that would be a good idea."

[hr]

(Timeskip because otherwise it would be 3 posts of "Envy continued to dig") Envy eventually wound up to the northeast of Nightshire, along the coast again. He was back to his default form, that of an androgynous teen. He laughed to himself as he relaxed on the ground. Such a thrill! Shame I couldn't have started the war, but this should make it a lot more fun, now I get to sit back and watch the fireworks! he thought.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica looked back to check on how the women were doing. Seeing that they were all gone, she breathed a sigh of relief. A few moments afterwards, the portal closed and disappeared without a trace. Right, time to quickly cover our tracks. Jessica thought as she pulled a small metallic case out of her coat. Opening the case up, she pulled out a small glass vial, then shut the case and put it away again. She tossed the vial on the ground, causing it to shatter and spill an orange liquid on the carpet. And now to make an exit! She thought, almost frantically, as she disappeared in a flash of light.
[hr]

In the room with the recently liberated beastkin women, what looked to be a section of wall about the size of an average doorway sank into the rest of the wall, then folded in off to one side, revealing that it actually was a doorway. A middle-aged man in an outfit that looked quite a bit like a military uniform, colored black and trimmed with gold, walked into the room. He looked around at the women, sighing and shaking his head and how pitiable they all looked. "Let's get you girls some help." He said, his voice matching what they had heard from the speakers and sounding quite sincere.

@Salty: You can choose whether or not to keep what's going on in the second part going.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness returned Noel's bow with a curtsy. As Noel sat down, Ness sat down on the floor, sighing a bit as well. "Today... was interesting..."

[hr]

Kyosuke might notice that Yukino's footsteps were casual, almost animated, but she made little to no noise as she walked. She stopped and ducked into cover a bit away from Rex and Sav.

 

[Saltyk]

The man held up his hand as the light blinded him. "What the hell was that?" He said as he walked over and looked at the spot on the ground.
"Fuck. I knew I shoulda sent Bellerophon to do this dumb as fucking pain in the ass. I couldn't even enjoy the brothel. And now, some dumb shit just blinded me with an annoying ass light."
This man was quite angry and seeing that no one was in here, continued on through the brothel.

[hr]

Savranth looked up at the ship. "As long as that thing is there... Getting in unnoticed is likely impossible..."
He thought for a minute.
"Let's see what happens... And hope for the best. We don't want to be noticed by that ship, at this moment. They came for a reason."

He and Rex were now behind the brothel near the garage.

[hr]

Volarian looks at the beastkin. "Calm down, all of you. Speak one at a time, and tell me what you're trying to say."

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

"It really was... But for what we are doing tomorrow... We need sleep. Good*Yawn*night Ness..." Noel fell asleep pretty quickly, whether it was naturally due to being tired or part of her training was unknown at the moment.
[hr]
Kyosuke gave a frown at Yukino's walking, but didn't give it a single word. Ducking next to Yukino he said. "[sub]Now the fun begins... Wish I had popcorn.[/sub]"

 

[Chungus]

"Well then, let us be off. Lest the dust settle upon us." Loki remarked, then headed towards Fourside once more.
[hr]
It took some time, but eventually all the beastkin settled down, mostly due to finally running out of breath. "Monster! Attacking Everwood!!" Evaline called out, tears streaming down her face. "Made by Legaia! Soto!!" another beastkin chimed in. "I-it was killing everyone!"

 

[DotSlash]

Ness smiles a bit as she puts a blanket over Noel before returning to her seat on the floor. She brings out Four's book and begins to read. Yes... I've got quite a bit to do tomorrow as well. She looks over at Echo and Holly sleeping, quickly realizing Holly was the other girl Persephone was talking about. But... those two come first. My little project to find out if Paprika is indeed a beastkin will have to wait, I suppose...

[hr]

Rex docks down behind some cover and nods toward Sav. "Right... Kinda feeling like a scout in enemy territory now." He said with a nervous chuckle.

[hr]

Yukino nods slightly, watching Rex and Sav intently. [color=bb66bb] [small] "Funny... I would've brought some with me had I known this was going to happen..." [/small] [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

Shortly after having been spilled, the orange liquid quickly congealed in the carpet of the brothel. After another moment, the solidified remains of the liquid ignited and began to start a fire in the brothel.
[hr]

Jessica reappeared back at the ruins on the solitary mountaintop, having picked it as the destination for her teleport as it was the first place that came to mind she had been when she tried to think of a place with no people around to see her arrive. She breathed out deeply and thought, I guess now I just have to hope I didn't get spotted well enough for them to identify me.

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

OoC: Alright, I'm off. Night Kyosuke will continue with Yukino, then head over to the hotel to sleep.

 

[Furioso]

Rita followed Loki

[hr]

After Envy was satisfied with his reflection on the days events he dug a deep hole into the ground where he buried the evidence, the rifle, pistol, and sword. He kind of liked the sword, but his own weapons could do the job just as well if not better. He started walking south, towards Fourside.

 

[Saltyk]

Savranth looked to Rex. "Yeah... Kinda are when you think-"

The soldier walked out the back, through the garage and seeing Savranth and Rex walked over, putting his rifle away.
"Hey, you two seen anyone leave?"

[hr]

Volarian takes Evaline aside. "Okay, come with me." Looking to the soldiers he says. "You all take care of these people."
When they seem less than enthusiastic to take care of beastkin, he adds, "That's an order!"

Volarian then leads Evaline to a meeting between Athena and Tiberius.
"Don't you think we need to take Holadino first, after their base? It's the lightest defended and would give us a good way-point to Port-"
"Pardon me, but I think you need to hear this girl."

 

[DotSlash]

Rex looks over at the soldier and shakes his head slightly. "Sorry, dude. Can't say we have. Are you looking for someone in particular?" He manages to lie with a straight face.

[hr]

Yukino, seeing the man come out, decides to cloak herself from her cover. She smiles to herself as she continues to listen on.

 

[Saltyk]

"Is that so? What about you?" The man, obviously an officer, then turns to Savranth.
"No... I can't say I have either, sir. What would we have been looking for?" He replies.
"People leaving this building..." He then looks back to the brothel, before eying them both. "What are your names?"
Shit!

 

[Chungus]

Before long, Loki and Rita entered Fourside once again. Imediately after he entered, Loki switched clothing back to wearing a suit. Loki walked towards the hotel he and Rita had stayed in the past few days, and waited in the foyer. "I believe it is my turn to pay the fee for the room?" he asked Rita.
[hr]
"It... It was a Legaian." Evaline began, sputtering and still shaking with fear. "A Legaian attacked Everwood, some tried to stop him, but he turned into this... this monster! Said it was created by a Doctor Soto..." she continued, then broke out in tears. "M-my home, my friends, my f-f-family, it's all gone!!"
