We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Zepherus14]

Sophia's vision shifted from Jessica, to Erica and finally Vanessa, seemingly adding something up in her head. "I... um..." Just then some of the papers in the book she was holding russled, she looked down and seemed surprised. "You're kidding, I forgot that one, but I need it for tomorrow. And that lounge will close soon..." She then looked at Jessica. "I forgot a book when Erica first showed up today, I got to go get it! I can't believe I forgot it..." She nervously laughed a little as she went for the door. "If you ladies still want to see the Head Mistress, she's on the third floor of the east wing, third door on your left. Otherwise, there should be some guest rooms for visiting family downstairs there are signs to the right hallway that should point you there." Before anyone could interject, Sophia had already made her way out the door, specifically taking the west wing route to get back to her room, even though it was a little longer.

As Sophia left, it didn't seem like the glyphs completely went out, although unless the rooms lights went out, you wouldn't notice. As Jessica and the gang would do their thing, everyone would be able to smell the slight smell of chocolate, but as they went it would slowly grow fainter and fainter.

OoC: I should be off

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Spoiler: Somewhere Between Port Letosh and Holadino!

Trilby pulled out his phone, and quickly dialed a number. The person on the other end picked up immediately.
"Hey."
[color=Trilb-y]"Oh. Hello. So, did the new dimension not work out?
"No. No it did not."
[color=Trilb-y]"Okay then. I guess I'll just toy with the fabric of spacetime to get you back to this shithole."[/color]
"Appreciate it."[/color]
A rip in space appeared, and a rope flopped out. Trilby grabbed onto it, and was immediately tugged through.
He looked up at the face of someone who looked remarkably similar to him... except for her being female.
[color=Trilb-y]"You're a girl." Trilb-y said disapprovingly.
"I could say the same of you."
"I was born this way."
"I was bored."
"Whatever."[/color]
And then they skipped off merrily into the sunset Mall to live happily ever after kill some people or some shit.

"We're talking 'destroy a village' levels here, mostly. Of course, a weak fire mage with a few elixirs and a good plan can destroy most villages with only moderate difficulty." the man replied.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Luckily for the people, actually. Demons are easier to handle. They tend to not have families and friends in the worlds they threaten. Mages... they do. And people tend to see the killing of their family members as 'murder'." the man replied, looking slightly uneasy. "And they have this terrible habit of making 'inner circles' and 'sanctums' and summoning demons to further their own goals."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Hmm... well, I'd expect them to have some form of regulatory order. In that case, I doubt I'll have much work to do..." The hunter sighed, a mix of relief and boredom.
"Something wrong with your neck? Do you require a healing salve?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Yes. Almost elegantly so." the man replied. He raised an eyebrow at Hellosh's response. "You appear to be bleeding. Do you know what caused that to happen?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"I don't believe I've done anything to cause you to bleed... unless that mark is related to some form or curse that I inadvertently set off, though I have no idea what I could have done that would cause any kind of reaction." the man suggested.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"How curious... perhaps the curse is designed to incapacitate you when in the presence of the being which placed it upon you, and prevent you from discovering who, exactly, it was that did so..." the man mused. "Though why it would be activated now, I don't know..."

 

[Furioso]

Rita was awake

[hr]

Envy, disguised as a female Xiphatian soldier, was looking around Holadino for Tiberius, or Athena.

 

[Random berk]

Jona sat in the rafters of the building the Holadino team had taken as a camp once more, holding the red lightsaber in front of his face. He ignited it, producing a red glow and loud snap-hiss, deactivated, and reactivated it repeatedly as he thought about the origins of the weapon, and the last time he had held one. He was clearly troubled by the idea.

Lying awake listening to the lightsaber igniting over and over, Kynn groaned and got out of bed, heading for the door.
"You're going to wake all the others if you keep playing with that thing. Stop it." He called out softly, trying not to disturb anyone else.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie woke up slowly and yawned while stretching a bit.

 

[Chungus]

Loki too was awake, occupying himself with twirling a kunai-like dagger around between the fingers of his left hand at various speeds, neot once fumbling the dagger.

Fafnir had left the cave to go hunt.
[hr]
Envy would find neither Tiberius, not Athena outside. But there were several Xiphatian soldiers at the military compound, which had been re-fitted to suit the Xiphatians.

 

[Furioso]

Rita approached Loki "Welcome back, did you learn anything useful?"

[hr]

Envy approached the compound. As he did so he listened in to any conversations going on between guards, specifically looking for any talk about where the Xiphatians would target next.

 

[Random berk]

Deactivating the lightsaber, Jona suddenly glanced up into the distance. He sensed some great disturbance in the Force, one that he had only felt once before. It was coming from just outside of Holadino.

On the outskirts of the town, a crackle of electricity split the air wide open, revealing a window that looked onto a very different landscape. A figure stepped through it and glanced around slowly. He was dressed in a chestnut brown robe and cowl, and the face beneath it was ashen grey and hollow, with dark red eyes under a hooded brow. Seeing the town, he grunted to himself and set off in that direction.

Meanwhile, near the location where Erica, Jessica and Sophia had settled for the night, a second portal opened at the exact same time. A tall, rangy human in light blue robes passed through. His skin and eyes were both shades of rich brown, and his wide lips curled in a slight smile as he uttered a brief incantation. The spell lit up a human figure not far from his position, shining through the obstacles between him and his target. Satisfied, he began to head in that direction.

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: Hi everybody. What's going on?

And, you know, anti-Hatchy.

 

[Wackymon]

Grace walks up to Jona, ""[footnote]Translated from Uryuomoco (Which he'll understand)[/footnote] she said.

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie looked up at Jona, noticing him tensing up. He groaned as he realised that there was likely more battle to come.

 

[Random berk]

Jona glanced down at Grace and the Rookie, then dropped out of the rafters, keeping a hold on the lightsaber.

"Something comes. Was not here. Then was. Like us?" He told them.

OOC: @Wacky I got it. For reference though, you should explain the workings of things like that when you use them at first. I had no clue what you were talking about til you posted the comic.

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Outis: The Winterhold scene is abou tog o down, but apart from that, nothin'.

Loki gave a annoyed sigh as he shook his head in responce to Rita's question. He stopped with the twirling of the dagger, placing it between his middle and index finger, there, it disappeared in a faint flash of blue light. "Hardly. Aside from some information that is next to neglectable, I learned not a thing. The entire expidition was little more then a waste of time."
[hr]
As the disguised Envy walked around the compound, he found various soldiers conversing. Two in paticular spoke of things that it was looking to pick up on.

"Have command decided what place to attack next?" one soldier asked another.

"No. At least, I don't think so. Last I heard, they're torn between wherther to hit Granite Pass, or Port Letosh."

"Hmm... If you were in command, what would you do?"

"I'm not in command."

"No, but if?"

"I'd take the Port."
[hr]
Erica, who had already awoken, and was looking around the first floor of the Winterhorn tower, heard the familiar noise of the portal opening. Now, who could that be? One of those couriers, parhaps? Those people are really devoted...

 

[Wackymon]

Grace thought about it, "" she said.

 

[Furioso]

Rita frowned "I'm afraid what I learned won't help us much either. Legaian ships can pretty much fly forever. The only thing a lack of supplies would do is eventually starve out the crew, but the ships carry enough supplies for that to last a month or more."

[hr]

Envy entered the compound, he was looking for Athena or Tiberius might be
