We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[DotSlash]

The droid gave Jessica a curtsy after it led her back into the portal room.

 "Thank you. Farewell, Dr. Broca."

With that, it flew off back down into the labs.

As she entered, Ness gave her a wave and tapped a few buttons on the portal, setting its destination for Lakewest.

 

[FPSfanatic]

"ah yes, my apologies. I'm afraid I put personal interests over the companies. Some other time you and I should have a talk." with that, Ezekiel began slowly fading out, before disappearing as if he was never there.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness nodded toward Ezekiel before he disappeared and turned to Jess, before motioning toward the portal. "Shall we?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica nodded to Ness, gave her a smile, and said, "Sure!" She then proceeded to stroll right through the portal Ness had made.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness followed Jess and the two ended up in the lobby of the Spice Rack as the portal behind them closed. Ness quickly paid for a room and headed upstairs. Ness sighed for a moment before flopping onto the bed. "Did you like the tour of the lab, Jessica?" She asked, yawning a bit. After hearing her answer, Ness would nod and wish her a good night.

OoC: Night. (Insomnia, ho!)

 

[Drakmorg]

Following Ness up to the room, Jessica sat down on the couch while Ness occupied the bed. "Oh yes! Very much so! Thank you for letting me come along. I'd offer to let you see my place, but I'm pretty sure you'd just find it disappointing in comparison." She said with a slight chuckle to try and mask her own self-denigration. After Ness said goodnight to her and fell asleep, she followed her lead, curling up on the couch and quickly falling asleep, leaving her coat on as she was back in Xiphatian territory once again.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Hellosh and Hellen would spot a figure dressed in black casually going past them. However, strangely, his legs were not moving. In fact, his legs were bent slightly, as if the man had just jumped, an effect helped by the fact that he was floating an inch or two off the ground.
Does he have horns? But... that would suggest he's some kind of demon. But he doesn't appear to be pillaging... and he doesn't smell like a demon. How curious... he thought, as he glanced at Hellosh.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Not really. Curious about your horns, though. Not often you see normal people with them..." the man replied. "Or abnormal people, for that matter."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Ah. That would explain it." the man said. "And I know you aren't a demon. You smell too... not demonic."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

@Dirty: He's a demon hunter.
And it wouldn't be a secret if I just said 'yes'.

"Yes. More specifically, I sense the differences in magical auras between humans and demons, through my nose. For example, most lesser demons smell like lavender. It's a useful ability when identifying and tracking demons." the man explained.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

@Dirty: Well, in that case, he isn't a demon.
Also, how much magical power would Hellosh have at this point?

 

[ShindoL Shill]

@Dirty: Gotcha.
And it's the magic he's smelling (because, in his universe, demon magic is different to human magic).

The man descended, so he was standing normally, and sniffed a few times.
"You smell very faintly of... hmm... freshly baked bread, I think." he answered.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

@Dirty: It would get stronger.

"Your magic smells, faintly, of bread. You, on the other hand, do not." the man clarified. "As for me and demons, I slay them. At least, if they cause problems. Which most of them do. I also kill them if their magic reaches dangerous levels, but that applies to all creatures."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Well, if someone has too much magical energy, they might accidentally obliterate somthing or someone in an attemp to expend that magic. Or, worse, they might do that on purpose. the man explained.

 

[Furioso]

Envy was waiting around to give the key to whoever would be taking it, along with the mech, to Lucia

 

[Saltyk]

Richard walks into the waiting room. "The machine has already been loaded. Will you be heading to Fourside with it?"

 

[Furioso]

"Hmm I suppose so, at least to report to Lucia about the place." said Envy, standing up to follow Richard

 

[Saltyk]

"Very well. We'll be sending it on a small cargo airship. It won't be comfortable, but it'll get you there." Richard said leading Envy to the air dock.

Once there, they would see a moderate sized ship. It's engines already primed.

Spoiler: Something like the top one here

 

[Furioso]

Envy nodded to Richard as he climbed aboard, saying "It will work, see you later Major, thank you for humoring me with this."

 

[Saltyk]

"Very well. Make sure the pilot stays away from Xiphatian controlled space. We don't want that to become problematic." Richard said as he turned to leave.

The ship began rising vertically, and left the hanger flying towards Fourside.
