We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Drakmorg]

A tear in the fabric of reality formed in the middle of the path in front of the Main Building, back at the Xiphatian military base the group had previously been. Jessica stepped out of the tear, after which it quickly closed back up again. Glancing around, she frowned at the obvious signs of a battle having occurred. I'm glad I missed whatever happened here. She thought to herself. Refocusing on her task at hand, she walked into the Main Building, hoping to find the same secretary from the previous day.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Echo dutifully followed Ness as she wondered the city, careful to not let her hand go for fear of getting lost.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie noticed the Fedora girl and stopped, looking at her.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"If you're so sure you will win, why don't we just have the barman pour us each as much as a glass can handle, and we drink until we can't drink any more, instead of merely drinking one round at a time? That's a much greater challenge." Adam said, slyly.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness walked up to the Rookie and smiled warmly. "Hello there, Corporal. Would you mind accompanying Echo and I to the inn? There are a few things I'm curious about that concern you."

 

[Saltyk]

The room was fairly sizable and had three beds. The furnishings were nice, but not five star, maybe not even four star hotel quality. "Seems we know why the room was fairly cheap..." Savranth replied. He looked at Tao. "Please don't claw up the furniture. That was all I had."

[hr]

"I care nothing about crazy stories. But I'll happily buy any such goods, sir. As for an inn, there are several on the other side of the city. Many are rather expensive, though." The shopkeeper replies.

Roland looked at Loki. "Well, I guess we at least got a map."

[hr]

You's un!" The patron said. "You hears tha mun, barkeep."

[hr]

The secretary sat at the desk as before. "Hello, miss. Are you still here? The others all left!"

OoC: @Dot: No, the curve-balls come later.

 

[Chungus]

"Of course." Loki said to Dal'Sheed. No. This will not do. I desire a map of my own. And I shall have it. Later... Hearing Roland, Loki turned to him and sighed slightly. "Although it went not as I hoped it would, that we did."
[hr]
"This lake is cursed because of those confounded monsters that are attrected to it! Every year, another one just pops up! One more annoying then the other![/i] The man explained to Lyra, placing extra emphesis on "pop". "For fours years, no one has so much as looked into this, and that means four of those little buggers! They drive me crazy with their annoying sound they make! Now, these fine folk don't seem to think I'm onto something. "No, Chafla, the lake isn't cursed, you're just imagining things", they say! Bah! I know what I know!"

 

[Slenn]

"Fair enough. The story of my arrival here is long anyway. As for materials for selling, I do have these." He pulled out a pristine smokey quartz crystal about an inch big as well as a ruby-red colored index-finger length corundum crystal. Neither of which were cut, but the dust and rock fragments had been cleaned off from the mining.
"This is smokey quartz and a ruby crystal."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Adam took the glass and poured the liquid within down his throat. His body had already started to fix itself, preventing the continual stream of alcohol from affecting him in the slightest. Not even his inability to breathe would hinder him, although it was rather uncomfortable.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie shrugged, and motioned for Ness to lead on.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Saya was keeping herself out of sight as she listened to the man ramblings about the cursed lake. "Crazy...humans..." She said as she wrote it down, chuckling to herself slightly.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Tao won't claw up anything, meow." Tao said as she laid herself out on a bed and stretched.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica walked over to the desk, then began looking around for any nearby chairs. "I assume you mean those others I arrived here with are gone. Can you tell me if the other woman in a white coat, she was also wearing a fedora, at least I think that's what those hats are called...anyway, did she go with them?" Jessica asked the secretary.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness nods a bit as she begins walking in the direction of the bar. "When you introduced yourself today, you said you were a part of an organization called the UNSC, correct? Is there anything special about this organization that led you to this world?" He may be connected to Jessica's mission. Given how she's reacted to battles and the like, he just might be her protection...

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Well Chafla, you just made my day! Now, a few more questions and you'll never have to deal with sea monsters again. So, first things first, when you say they pop in, do you mean they just appear, from nowhere?"jackpot! All the hunting I could want or need, for now at least.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: Back. I miss much?

 

[Saltyk]

Savranth sighed. "Good. So what is..."
A knock came to the door. "Hello, it's Mint. Daddy wanted me to tell you that the dinner is ready. You can meet us in the dining room." She called through the door.

"Well, you were hungry, were you not?" He said as he walked to the door.

[hr]

The shopkeeper took up the crystals and examined them in the light. "Yes... Not bad, but uncut, this drops the value of them some... I suppose, I can give you 50 gold for the both of them." He offered.

"All the same, this works out, in our favor." Roland whispered to Loki.

[hr]

The patron, took up the drink and began to down it. The glass slowly emptied. It was almost entirely gone, looking as though the man may well finish it, when he collapsed. He was already very intoxicated, and that put him over at this point.

[hr]

The scretary looked a little confused. "Yes, ma'am. I believe they all left to go to Winterhorn. Though, they may have stopped at Lakewest long the way."

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Gear: Not really. Ness and Dal'Sheed bought a map after trading stuff to get money. Adam just won a drinking contest. Lyra is about to embard on a hunt, and the rest are at the inn. I think.

Loki nodded after Roland whispered, not wanting to reply to it to avoid raising suspicion.
[hr]
"You just made my day too!" The man now identifiable as Chafla exclaimed, happy that someone at last was willing to look into the problem. "And yes! They do pop up out of nowhere--Oh! They're not sea monters, though. At least, not all of them."

 

[Slenn]

"I think that's fair. You have a deal." He nodded. I'm going to have to visit the gem shop my friend has when I get back to my city.

 

[Furioso]

OoC: Back, We are joining the owner of the inn for dinner, correct? (those of us in the inn at least)
