We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Chungus]

Loki sat against Fafnir as she slept. Glancing over what Rita wrote, he said, "Regardless of the fact that the ship had set sail prematurely, I dare saythis this has been a successful venture."
[hr]
Ness' question would go unanswered. The same child-like giggle that was heard when Ness, Erica and Valentine were trekking through the woods was heard again, although it didn't seem to be coming from the light.

"This is odd..." Erica remarked, mostly speaking to herself. Carefully, she approached the light.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness looked over toward Hellen and raised an eyebrow as she waved back. ...Who is this woman? ...Is she related to that Hellosh person? Noting the giggles, Ness calmly and cautiously reached her hand out toward the light.

[hr]

Yuki yawned as she woke up in her guest room.

 

[Furioso]

"Yea, but what do we tell the King now?"

 

[Chungus]

"We tell exactly what has transpired here. Save for the ussage of poison gas, as that might be frowned upon. I think Garzic would be more then pleased with what we have achieved here, considdering we initially were just asked to gether information." Loki answered Rita.
[hr]
As Ness and Erica reached the light, infront of them, a couple of flowers suddenly bloomed and shifted towards the duo. They blew a large cloud of pollen into Ness and Erica's faces, far more pollen then any one flower could posibly contain. Erica staggered back, coughing and rubbing her eyes.

The light disappeared and re-appeared west in the medow. The giggling turned into laughter. Someone was very amused.

 

[Furioso]

Rita thought for a moment. "You're right... and don't ask me why I suddenly thought of this, but looking back, Ine mentioned that her younger brother was the favored heir, if all else fails you could enlighten him and use him to get closer to the throne."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness got caught in the cloud of pollen as well, causing her cough and wheeze a bit as she ended up falling onto her bottom. As such, she was a bit too distracted to respond to Hellen's question as she continued to have coughing fits. So this thing is a nature spirit... and an annoying one at that...

[hr]

After leaving the guest room, Yuki walked around outside the college grounds, humming to herself a bit as she did.

 

[Captain Anon]

OOC: ok look i go to bed when you lot are just waking up so i can't be on when you're on anyway after traveling for hours Saber caught up with Ness and Co

 

[Chungus]

"Using one of Garzic's children to get closer to the throne is indeed what I had planned on doing. Yet I did not know the youngest one was favoured. This may be of use, or it may not. We shall see. Afterall, the key in this is to have one who is easily manipulated. Enlightening any one of them is a thing I would do as a last resort alone, as none of them have blue eyes naturaully, the change will not go unnoticed."
[hr]
After getting the pollen out of her eyes, Erica cast a Detect Life spell. In her right hand, which was clenched into a fist, glowed a feint violet light. Looking around, Erica saw every living being was highligted in the same violet hue. The blue glow, wasn't highlighted. "Whatever that light there is, it's not the thing we're after." she remarked, ending the spell.

The laughing stopped with a indignant hmmph.

 

[Furioso]

"Apparently the youngest one is the only one that can use the families bloodline magic, which as Ine was so kind to tell me, involves the use of summons. If we play our cards right he could summon armies for us." replied Rita

 

[DotSlash]

Ness began to look a little pale as she took Hellen's help in getting up. Still coughing a bit, she looked up and gave her a small smile. "T...Thank you. As to your question before, I'm Vanessa..." She calmly activated her green clip and her eyes changed to a green color, allowing her to see weakpoints and things that were cloaked. She scanned the meadow carefully looking for the fairy. ...Dammit, now my allergies are going to start flaring up...

 

[Drakmorg]

Nybeth had been spending his time carving up the more mangled bodies of soldiers with his somewhat recently acquired mithril knife. Since Loki, Rita and himself had stayed in the jungle clearing, he had to do this in plain sight of Rita and Loki. If they happened to not be too disgusted by his actions to occasionally glance back, they'd notice he seemed to favor carving out certain body parts in particular, namely the shoulder-blades, hearts, eye-stems, and brains.

[hr]

Jessica had remained at Winterhorn for a while until the headache she had received had subsided, as she was afraid that teleporting would exasperate it. The feeling that replaced her headache also prevented her from making an exit from the college, as she started wondering what the point in even continuing would be. She even so much as contemplated teleporting to the top of the library tower and hurling herself off the mountain, but didn't go through with it. She ended up dragging herself into one of the guest rooms and cried herself to sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, she wasn't particularly confused by her seemingly uncalled for bout of depression, simply chalking it up to something that was practically routine for her. She left the guest room and wandered around the college grounds for a bit as she tried to get her priorities back in order.

 

[DotSlash]

Yuki was wandering around the college grounds as well. She stopped to wave at Jessica as she passed her by.

[hr]

Ness silently nodded in response to Hellen before letting out a small sneeze and continuing to scan the meadow.

 

[Chungus]

"Oh? Now this is interesting. Of course, he could in time need to be disposed of like the rest of his kin, but until that time approaches, I can make good use of this." Loki answered, then grinned slightly. "I do like how so much information is kept so poorly here. Be it people talking too much for their own good, or written information simply being waiting to be found. It has helped me a great deal so far."

Loki had no interest in watching whatever Nybeth was doing, a single glance being all that was needed to disuade him from it. Even as he didn't watch, the sounds and smells made him frown.
[hr]
Ness would find the fearie standing at the north of the medow. Its weakpoints would obviously be the head and center of mass.

Behind Hellosh, roots shot up from the ground and wrapped around his ankles, then the roots pulled back, attemping to trip him up.

 

[Furioso]

Rita smirked "Yea everyone here is pretty stupid. I figured the Legaians would keep their stuff locked up better, guess not." said Rita, avoiding looking over at Nybeth working

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Mmm. That was most enlightening." Persephone purred as she appeared next to Yukino.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness sneezing a small bit still, started to make her way toward the faerie in the north, keeping her eyes active. ...Please don't do anything stupid...

[hr]

Her fur on Yuki's tails stood up on end for a moment as Persephone appeared by her and spoke in that tone. She sighed a bit in relief before looking at the muse. [color=bb66bb] "I should really tie a bell or something to you..." [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Only if it's tasteful." Persephone said with a sing-song laugh. "And of course I wold insist on getting you one as well." she continued, smirking mischievously.

 

[DotSlash]

Yuki's ears drooped a bit as she narrowed her eyes slightly. [color=bb66bb] "So I've been downgraded from little sister to pet... Great. And could I even tie a bell to you...?" [/color] She straightened up for a moment as she got serious. [color=bb66bb] "That aside, did you get your fill of magical knowledge and stuff here? I've got to track down little miss Fedora and get myself back to that volcano." [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

Nybeth continued his work, extracting body parts from the human corpses with a level of practiced efficiency that served to make the acts he was performing all the more disturbing. As he extracted the parts he seemed to need, he set about preserving them for later use, drying the eyestalks, cutting off the frontal lobes of the brains and salting them like slabs of meet, cutting the ventricles off the hearts and preserving them in a jar while they still bled, and breaking apart the shoulder-blades into smaller shards of bone.

[hr]

Jessica idly waved to Yukino, mostly out of reflex, and kept walking. Her eyes were still red from her bouts of crying last night. Well, what to do now? Might as well see how Vanessa's managing. Refocusing her thoughts, she transmitted to Ness, "So how are things going on your end?" A feeling of anxiousness returned when she started wondering if Ness had heard her thoughts from the night before, as she wasn't exactly in the most composed and self-controlling state she could have been.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Oh it was just a joke, darling. And, no. I've never been a fan of neck jewelry." Persephone said. She then brightened up considerably. "Don't tell me you were waiting here for little ol' me." she said with too much shock to be real.
