We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Drakmorg]

As Jessica was lifted, Loki could probably easily tell that she was out completely cold as a result of exhaustion, and probably wouldn't wake up for a while. At least not until the boat had reached ashore of Shantaio, or wherever else it might end up going now that it's purpose for having left had been fulfilled.

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Furioso: I don't think that was ever stated, but since bullets simply bounced off, it's a fair assumption.

"It was but a example. There would, naturally, be difirences." Loki said to Rita, laying Jessica down on a bed. He contemplated placing her under the effect of his mind control while she was out cold, but decided against this when there was a flash nearby, believing someone else had made a portal. Turning around, he saw Jessica. "Quite some time has it been a while since we last saw you."

 

[Furioso]

"I know." replied Rita before looking over at Ness. "Oh, hello."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness waved in return to Rita and Loki before looking over at Jessica and looking slightly concerned. "Yes... it has been. How are you two? ...and may I ask how Jessica is doing?"

[hr]

Yuki continued to make her way toward Everwood, curious.

 

[Furioso]

"I'm fine, she exhausted herself from teleporting though." replied Rita

 

[Chungus]

"It is as she said. And it has all been for nothing, as we found not a trace of what we were suposed to find." Loki answered Ness, sitting down on an empty bed. "Might I ask, how did you manage to find us here?"

Skippy pulled up the fishing net he had cast out, supirsed to find he had actually caught a decent number of fish. "I'll be damned. I never catch any of the blighters when I want to, but by accident, they be caught in droves..." he muttered to himself, dropping the fish back into the sea, then going back to man the helm and setting course for Shaintaio.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness scratched the back of her head slightly. "Let's just say I have a way of teleporting myself places and near people." She nodded toward Rita, still visibly concerned. "She overworked herself again? Even after having to deal with that recovery from the first time? ...I see." She put her hands in her lap and twiddled her thumbs slightly. Please be okay...

 

[Furioso]

Rita shrugged "I doubt she'd be dumb enough to put her health in real danger just to go to and from that island."

 

[Chungus]

"What would the limits to this ability be?" Loki asked Ness, noting her concerned look, but not caring in the slightest.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness nodded slightly along with Rita before looking toward Loki. Guess he believes the same as she does. "Hmm... I've only recently obtained this ability... but I'd say distance and latent ability would be the limits on it... I should probably test it more once I leave here."

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica stirred slightly in her sleep, turning over onto one side facing Ness and curling into a ball. Though she still seemed to be sleeping, despite the conversations going on around her. Her ears and tail flicking a few times were the only signs that she seemed in any way aware of the others presence's.

 

[Furioso]

OoC: I have an early shift at work tomorrow, I should be heading to bed, Rita will follow the group, etc, etc

 

[Chungus]

"I see. A shame. I had half hoped it could posibly be of help to us in finding this place we were sent out to find." Loki commented, glancing over at Jessica as she turned.

After some traveling, the boat arived back in Shaitaio.

Leaving the helm, Skippy walked over to the strears leading below deck. "We're back at the capital." he announced.

 

[Drakmorg]

After some time had passed, Jessica stirred in her sleep once again. She sluggishly sat up in the middle of the bed she had been laid on, groaning and rubbing her head all the while. "Uuuuhhh...what happened?" She groggily asked whoever was around her before opening her eyes. Having strained herself some more, the sclera of her eyes had been completely colored a bloody red instead of their usual white.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness nodded slightly toward Loki before noting Jessica getting up and her discolored eyes. She quickly dashed up to her side, visibly worried. "Jessica! What happened!? Your eyes look horrible right now..."

[hr]

Yukino made it back to the cave and fell asleep.

 

[Chungus]

Having heard Skippy, Loki stood up. "You can have a moment to yourselves. We will be heading back to the palace." he said to Jessica and Ness, heading up the stairs to the deck, and leaving the ship, Rita following.

 

[Drakmorg]

The combination of just barely having woken up and Ness' panicked tone led to Jessica being confused. "Huh?...My eyes? What's wrong with them?" She replied, still sounding half-asleep. She yawned as she scooted over to the end of the bed in preparation to stand back up. Hearing Loki, she looked over and waved at him. "I'll try to catch up soon."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness scratched the back of her head again. "Your eyes look all red... but I'm glad to see you're alright. You didn't find any hints to what you were going to find on that island?"

She waved toward Loki as he left.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Oh...[small]dammit...[/small]" Jessica cursed under her breath as she head what Ness said. "It's just a subconjunctival hemorrhage." She replied to Ness, displaying a significant amount of familiarity with the particular medical term. "It's not anything major though. It'll probably go away in a few days....And no. We didn't find jack squat on that island, so now we're back to square one." She stood up and tried to follow after Loki, but seemed incredibly unsteady on her feet, stumbling a few times before she even made it to the door of the cabin.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness calmly walked over to Jessica and offered to help her walk. "Not anything major, huh? And I see. Hopefully, you'll have more luck next time."
