We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Drakmorg]

Jessica's smile faltered a bit as she thought of how to explain her condition to Ness. [sub]"I made a stupid mistake...it ended up draining all my Psionic power and most of my strength....I was in that chair yesterday because I was too worn out to even walk."[/sub] She began. Her tone switched to a more reassuring one as she continued. [sub]"Don't worry though...if I just take it easier for a little while I'll be back to normal soon."[/sub] She just sighed as she heard Grace speak up.

 

[Kirke]

(To Erica & Valentine: Whatever you do, do it quickly! The cover is burning away, fast!)

 

[DotSlash]

Ness looked toward Grace and shook her head, not seeming angry or upset. "You wouldn't have known... I can't really blame you for making that mistake... However... had I been there, this may not have happened..."

The fedora girl sighed a little happily as she heard Jessica say she'd be back to normal. "I'm glad to hear that Jessica! I thought you might have been permanently hurt by what had happened..." She reaches over to give the catgirl a hug before attempting to change the subject a bit. "So I saw that you got to see the palace. How was that like?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

Well, Persephone is near Yukino still.

OOC: Don't suppose we can unbubble Tanner and Tiberius?

 

[Wackymon]

Mild turns to Erica, "[sub]What am I supposed to do again?[/sub]"[hr]

Grace nods at Ness's suggested change of topic.

 

[Furioso]

Rita was up and about

[hr]

Envy contacted Richard "Ohhhhh boy, I have some news for you."

Ooc: forgot to mention Envy would have taken pics of the Predator compound

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica shook her head at what Ness said to Grace. [sub]"Don't blame yourself for anything...It was pretty much all my fault for not being as careful as I should have been."[/sub] What rest she managed to get allowed her to regain enough strength that she could now sit up and accept her friend's hug more comfortably. [sub]"The palace? I, uh...don't remember much about it....I was too occupied with thinking about how worried you must have been to pay much attention to what it looked like."[/sub] She let out an embarrassed little chuckle. [sub]"I didn't even notice they apparently have a dragon until I was on my way out."[/sub]

 

[Chungus]

"Ah. You have awakened. Loki said to Rita. "Well, let us set out, shall we. I see no reason why we would need this suposed help."
[hr]
[sub]"Help deal with the knights."[/sub] Erica said to Mild.

Peeking out from behind the tree, Erica held out her right hand towards the road, laying down three Lightning Runes. The runes consisted of two purple circles, with four cresents within this circle which overlapped at the center. Where the cresents overlapped was a symbol that looked like an L turned upside down, this being a lighter shade of purple. From this symbol, electricity arced over the rune.

[sub]"Alright. Go."[/sub] Erica said to Valentine. Valentine nodded and walked behind the line of runes. From there, she threw fireballs at each of the knights.
[hr]
"Go on then." Richard said to Envy.

OoC @Outis: I don't see why not. What were they doing?

 

[Kirke]

The fireballs splashed across the black armour, and they turned to face Val. Except for one, who decided to charge the Rookie. The two wizard sent a dark fireball each at Val.

 

[Wackymon]

Grace continued to be... Well, sad, and sat next to Jessica.[hr]

Mild, seeing her opportunity, flies up to the knight charging rookie, punching him right across the face with her glowing fist, before slipping under him and kicking his feet from below, knocking him down.

 

[Furioso]

"There is no reason of course, if anything they would take away glory from you, let's go." said Rita following Loki

[hr]

"Well, it's a bit more than just a few outsiders camping there..." said Envy as he sent Richard the photos of the compound "They seemed to imply that they've had dealings with Legaia too, poor dealings, but they were interested in a possible non aggression pact."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness just scratched the back of her head in response to Jessica's first statement. ...Right. Releasing her friend so she could rest easy for a moment, Ness sat back in the chair and tilted her head a bit. "Well... Yes, I was worried... But now that I know you're recovering, I'll manage, though I won't be all that happy until you're up and about again. And they have a dragon? As to be expected from a King, I suppose. It's almost like those fantasy stories they read to you when you're a child."

[hr]

Yuki cautiously wave a hand in front of Black's face. [color=bb66bb] "Hey... don't zone out on me, Vocaloid." [/color]

 

[Chungus]

"Precisely. That is, assuming they would actualy be of help in this endeavor, which I strongly doubt. The flaws in the logic that more people would make the task easier, I had pointed out already." Loki remarked as he left the palace and began making his way out of the city.
[hr]
Bending sideways, Valentine evaded the fireballs thrown at her, although one flew closely past her left thigh, leaving a large scorched hole in her dress and mildly burning her. "Arg! My dress! Why does my dress always get damaged?!" she exclaimed, annoyed. Forming her right hand into a demonic claw, she quickly patted out any flames clinging to her dress, then and threw a black Poison Sludge bomb (at least, that's what I think this was called) in the midts of the knights. Where it landed, the ball of black goo exploded, sapping a portion of lifeforce of any caught within the blast radius.

Holding a sphere of lightning in her right hand, and a blue shimmering sphere with a transparant core in her left, Erica moved away from the tree she hid behind from the left handand shot a bolt of lightning at a wizard. Should it land, the bolt would arc to the other wizard, and posibly the knights if they were close enough.
[hr]
Richard looked the photos over and frowned. "I see... And did they say what the terms of this pact would be?"

 

[Kirke]

Mild would, depending on how fast she was going, have a bad pain in her hand on a scale of "Ow, fuck!" to "AAAAAAAAH!" since she punched a metal visor. If she still kicked him, she would have a bad pain in her foot as well. The knight would be unbalanced slightly, but not much and the knight be rather pissed in either case. He swung a black blade against her, the edge of it was impossible to see.

In an attempt to save Mild, the Rookie stood up and fired a series of pistol shots at the knight, who stumbled after the first shot, but then managed to get his shield up to deflect the rest of the shots.

The black flames that Val put out would feel cold, as if something had been sucked out of her. The poision sludge didn't appear to have any effect, as the knights marched on. The lightning had more effect, and the knights stopped for a moment while the wizards were shocked. Once they had recovered, the knights continued, though one moved to attack Erica.
(To Erica & Val: There's something strange going on. The knights have souls and lifeforce, but they don't seem to need them.)

 

[Furioso]

"Agreed, where should we search first?" remarked Rita

[hr]

"They were vague on that, they just said "local knowledge" but when I asked specifics they said to talk to my commander first." replied Envy.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Try kissing her." Persephone suggested to Yukino.

 

[Wackymon]

Grace chuckled, "Yep, almost like D&D. I wonder if there are elves somewhere..." she said.[hr]

Mild recoiled from the shock, flailing her hands, and, seeing the knight try to attack flew over the knight, flying to a mage, who she promptly punches in the face, her fist bright blue.

 

[DotSlash]

Yuki's ears twitched as she seemed to actually consider it before turning toward Persephone with half-closed eyes and a slight blush. [color=bb66bb] "...Are you a lesbian too?" [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica laid back down when Ness let go of her. [sub]"I think I can be up and moving soon actually....Might take some time before all my Psionic power returns though."[/sub] She replied to Ness. [sub]"That reminds me...until I get my Psionics back into working order, the mental link between us will be dormant....If you felt anything weird go on in your head recently, that was probably it."[/sub] She giggled a little at her friend's last comment. [sub]"I guess it kind of is..."[/sub]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Just a little joke, darling." Persephone said with a predatory grin.
