We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Saltyk]

Athena was walking about the base, checking on the provisions and soldiers.

[hr]

"You could always try asking at the farm. They may take you in to work the fields or the livestock." Felina replied to Tao.

[hr]

"You're not a member of the military or even a citizen as far as I know. I have no reason to allow you access." The Captain replied.

OoC: You're assuming transformation and I see nothing that indicates that. Same clothes, and literally nothing would indicate that, beyond the shoes, and it's entirely possible to have the same shoes.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Marston saw Athena and assumed he could enter and not be killed or arrested on the spot.

"Well, Tao would be willing to try it, meow." Tao said as she get ready to leave and go to the farm.

 

[Wackymon]

@Salt: Mind explaining it FURTHER?
Anyway, Fury said it was an EXACT match, not CLOSE, but EXACT. Data would pick up on this, I'd think...
Though I can see your point... Which makes this entire thing pointless, and everything I've been doing so far pointless...

Data thought for a moment, and asked the question again.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: Well, Tao's shoes would be rather unique I would think.

And the foot prints being exactly the same would be rather suspicious.

 

[Drakmorg]

Nybeth seemed to be in the middle of something as Loki walked in. In the middle of the chamber was laid out the corpse of a Legaian soldier, with Nybeth standing a few feet away. Nybeth was holding both of his hands in the air, and clasped in each was a small chunk of bone. "Corpses who walk upon the earth! From chains of death I set you free! Serve me as your master!" He chanted. As he did so, streams of purple light sprang forth from the bones and made their way towards the corpse. Both lights streamed into the body like serpents slinking into a pool of water. Once the lights were completely gone, the bones Nybeth held were reduced to dust. For several moments Nybeth did nothing but stare at the corpse, until its fingers began to twitch.
Nybeth smirked at the corpse, and only then noticed Loki. "Ah! There you are. I believe I must thank you. Or rather, I must thank that scepter of yours." He paused to take a moment to chuckle. "Thanks to this 'enlightenment' I feel I am one step closer to that which I seek!"

[hr]

Since Jessica's search had only led her to finding Athena, she approached the woman. "Excuse me. Could I possibly speak to General Tiberius again?" She asked.

 

[Chungus]

Loki watched Nybeth preform his necromancy on the corpse, re-animating it, with some interest, wondering if he couldn't adopt the spell himself. "As I promised. It is as I had said to my companion earlier this day. A mind functions with much greater efficiency with that which it would impede it so disposed of. Now, with such shackles undone, you may truly blossom."
[hr]
"Let's see... I'm not even sure. I more or less stopped keeping track of it after 200 years or so. After that, the idea of a birthday pretty much lost any significance." Erica asnwered, then paused and lightly rubbed her right temple as she thought more carefully. "I think I am 300-something years now. But I'm not really sure. What about you?"

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie looked up at Erica, and his body language seemed to signal disbelief.

(To Erica: I am around 600, I think. Time flies by, doesn't it?)

 

[Saltyk]

"I suppose. What do you need him for?" Athena said, motioning for Jessica to follow her to the Main Building.

"Are you waiting for something?" The guard asked Marston.

[hr]

Tao would find the farm was due West of Felina's home.

[hr]

"I already told, you that we're not going to allow you access to the scene. We have no reason to allow you to." The Captain replied.

OoC: That assumes Data would know that they were special or recognize them as such. I don't think he's even seen her.
Nothing in that hole would indicate that someone transformed. The foot prints in and of themselves don't either. At most they indicate someone of roughly the same height, with similar taste in shoes, and that is heavier.

[Outisakanobody]

Tao started looking for anyone at the farm that might work there so she could ask them for a job.

"Just waiting for a few associates to finish some business up." Marston said, making sure to keep his hands away from his weapons.

 

[Wackymon]

OoC: @Salt: The shoes were EXACTLY the same, Data is able to notice things VERY closely, the gait is the exact same, the SAMENESS indicates SOMETHING, and a clone wouldn't be able to match the gait the same, and if the shoes were just SIMILAR there would be an indication of such, such as a mildly different heels, or something similar. But, once more, it was EXACTLY the same, but heavier...
And, yeah, since I can't get the whole picture, I don't think I'd be able to do ANYTHING with Data, and I can't think of anything to DO, period... I was hoping to actually be able to DO something, at least...

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Dot: Your characters sure love dem rooftops. xP

"600? Not taking the hundred years before we met into account, you're 200 years older then myself... And once again it's proven that these diffirences in time don't make sense in the slightest." Erica answered with a pleasant laugh. "But yes. It most certainly does. At least, it does when time doesn't affect you like it does others. Those that actually age attach that much more value to time, as theirs will eventually run out..." she continued, her tone of voice dropping for a moment, but picking up again quickly. Looking at James, Erica tilted her head slightly. "What? You don't believe me?"

 

[Drakmorg]

The Legaian soldier at Nybeth's feet began to stir even more. After a short while it sat up, then picked itself up and stood up on its feet. The corpse gave Nybeth the traditional Legaian salute before moving off into a corner of the chamber and standing at attention.
"I could say the same of my experiments now." Nybeth mused aloud in response to Loki. "...To a certain extent. They are still far from perfect" He tacked on, seemingly disappointed with his progress thus far.

[hr]

Jessica nodded to Athena and started following her. "I need to ask if there's anything he particularly needs done. Anything at all really."

 

[Saltyk]

"Why the sudden interest in assistance?" Athena asked as the entered the building.

Once inside, she would walk to the stairs with Jessica and begin walking up with her.

[hr]

The people on the farm would point Tao to the farmhouse. "Go ask to see the head of distribution"

OoC: Go to a store. Do you think the same shoes wouldn't be the same. And if a person knew to break her out they would probably know her shoes. Even if we take wear into account, there is no reason to think Envy would. In which case, they wouldn't be exactly the same. Envy has been shown to make mistakes like that in the past. Most everything else seems iffy to me, especially considering Envy can look like you and not get all your mannerisms down.
@Outis: Didn't Marston agree to help the war effort? Why would he be avoiding it, now?

 

[Wackymon]

@Salt, good point... I'm not sure what to think now, due to all my stuff being from Fury, so I'm going off what he says, and... Well, he said it was exact.
Now I'm just at a loss here, because now I have NOTHING.

Data begins to go to a Shoe Store, and examine the shoes...

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: @Salt: He's not avoiding anything. He's just being wary of the "X" people.

Tao nodded and went to look for that person.

"Can I go in and find them?" Marston asked the guard.

 

[DotSlash]

[Kirke]

(To Erica: I was counting from when I gained conciousness, but yeah. Age... I don't know, I've never experienced the sensation of knowing that I'm going to die. Well, except for that one time, but that was hardly ordinary circumstances.)

The Rookie glanced around, then shrugged, resigned.
(To Erica: Poor bastard, he's had pretty much all he knows overturned over the course of a few weeks. And now he hears that there are immortal humans as well.)

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica sighed as she began climbing the stairs. "Because Vanessa needs help. And with how much stuff they've stacked against her, I don't think just asking for it will be enough."

 

[Saltyk]

"I see." Athena says leading Jessica out. Bringing her to an office door, Athena stops. "The General is in here. Good luck."

[hr]

"Knock yourself out. Last I checked you had clearance. Shouldn't you be staying on the base, though?" The guard asked.

[hr]

Inside the farm's distribution center a man sat at a desk. "Hello. Are you looking for someone?"

[hr]

Data would find plenty of shoes, but none exactly like Tao's

OoC: @Outis: Because... He offered to help them? He has no reason to be wary of them.
