We Are Our Avatars VIII: Interdimensional Jaunt. (Closed up, thanks for playing.)

[Chungus]

"Well, guess you won't have much trouble imagining what my home world's like, then. In a nutshell, it's sixty percent ocean, three percent frozen wasteland, twenty-five percent badlands and twelve percent places that're decent. ...Give or take." Gideon remarked, chuckling softly near the end. When asked what he used to do for a living, he looked up to the sky for a moment, before looking back down to Amelia.

"I work...ed in a paint factory, mixing the various chemicals that go in the stuff together. I chose it because it's easy work that still had decent pay. But, like I said, I seriously regret it. Aside from making me sound like toad because we have to shout over the noise of the machines there, the fumes didn't do any favour for my skin. Pretty sure my hearing's degraded over time too..."
[hr]
Gazimon groaned as the handcuffs were put on him, but said nothing and continued laying on his stomach.

"So, if you bunch will pull your heads outta cloud-coockoo land and hurry up do whatever it is you decided you needed to wreck all my stuff for?" Etemon commented. "I've got things to do, and little time to do them in."

 

[FPSfanatic]

Tyler frowned, and grabbed Etemon's handcuffs, yanking on them to pull him up. "Now, you get arrested and have your trailer looked over. You have a right to remain silent, if you so choose. You have a right to an attorney. You have a right to know everything you say can and will be used against you in court."

[hr]

Liza approached Samus, sipping a brew. She followed Samus, and said "so, how'd you feel your first mission went?"

[hr]
the man with Bruce led him to the lift, and once he loaded up, he started it up.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Two targets down, survivors taken into custody, no allied casualties." Samus replied automatically.

 

[DotSlash]

Amelia shook her head a bit. [color=ff7777] "Hmmm... That seems a l-lot different to my world's layout... I think at least... I never really paid attention in geography..." [/color] She tilted her head a bit as she noted Gideon looking upward before nodding as she listened more. [color=ff7777] "I see... So that was why you have... uh..." [/color] Amelia tapped her face lightly, trying to make note of Gideon's powder without saying anything.

[hr]

Rose nodded toward Seras, eyes narrowing more. [color=009933] "Yes, go on." [/color] Looking over toward Axton, she nodded. [color=009933] "You'll just have to hope you don't get one-upped by someone else then." [/color]

Wheaton blinked for a moment before smiling at Seras. "Sure, that's fine. You'll have to stay in those dorms for the time being, but you should be fine." He paused for a moment before snapping his fingers. "Oh, that reminds me! That friend of yours, Ms. Sinclair, she was found a while ago and she's been out and about in the city already." He looked a little embarrassed as he smiled again. "A lot of things have been happening recently, so it slipped my mind."

The man gave Mary a nod before looking to Fredrick. "They're for everyone who enters the city through our HQ. No need to be humble, think of it as a welcoming gift." Rose gave Fredrick a nod of acknowledgement before looking back to Seras.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"I doubt that." Axton said to Rose confidently as he looked around, obviously wanting to leave.

"Really? I'm just glad to hear she's okay." Seras said to Wheaton, clearly very happy to hear this news.

"Well, I remember meeting a woman with...green skin who really liked plants...was that you?" she asked Rose.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

taking this small moment of opportunity, Mary showed Fredrick how this 'touchscreen# technology worked. [color=F87217]"So after typing you press 'send' and it flies through the air and is sent to your device?"[/color] Mary nodded but held up a note.

I believe it just sends the information, rather then making it fly through the air, Master.

Fredrick chuckled and patted Mary on the back. [color=F87217]"Well of course my dear! though seeing it actually fly like a letter with wings would be far more entertaining!"[/color] Fredrick continued to be amused by his own Idea, Mary just gave a small smile, happy to see her Master was at least enjoying himself somewhat.

 

[Chungus]

"Yeeeah..." Gideon responded, scratching the side of his neck somewhat nervously. "So if you ever decided to work in a paint factory, don't do it. It's not good for you." He added, before forcing a laugh.
[hr]
Etemon grunted when Tyler pulled him up, before glancing down to Gazimon with a raised eyebrow. "Sonny, what's an attorney?"

Gazimon shrugged, for as much as this was possible, at least. [color=A5ADC0]"Beats me, boss."[/color]

Etemon rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses. "Anyway, you bunch o' yahoos do all this, just to get a peek at how the King lives, huh? Boy, and just when I thought you couldn't get any more wrong in the noggin', you manage to suprise me, and then some. You all give yourself a pat on the back for that."

 

[FPSfanatic]

Tyler rolled his own eyes, and flexed his hands, levitating Etemon up to Emilia. "Have fun up there!" he called out, not specifying who. He approached Gazimon. "Got anything you want to tell me as well? Maybe about how this is all a big mistake? Maybe how you're gonna make us pay for doing this? I'd fucking love to hear about that, lets me put it in the report."
[hr]

"Good way to look at it. Still, could that have been handled better, in your opinion?" Liza asked, glancing back for a moment.

 

[DotSlash]

Wheaton gave Seras a small nod before the office began to rise a small amount. "Well, if you all don't have any other questions, we'll be heading off to set you all on your way." Soon enough, the group was slowly being lifted up an elevator and would see the mass chaos of the market. Myriads of stalls, shops and vendors of all shapes and sizes, alien, elemental, or spiritual buying and selling wonderous products. Weapons, shields, technology and huge magic tones written in what could easily have looked like scribbles. Even behind the glass, the noise of the bantering was loud enough to penetrate, creating a muffled murmur in the room.

Rose continued her glaring toward Seras. [color=009933] "Yes." [/color]

[hr]

Amelia nodded a small bit. [color=ff7777] "Right... but mining can't be all that much better, right? I've heard of l-loads of people dying in sh-sh-shaft collapses and stuff like that. The extra m-money doesn't seem worth r-risking your life.... At least, a paint factory would be a little s-safer..." [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Well...It's nice to see you got out of there alright. H-how have you been? How did you end up here?" Seras asked Rose, getting very uncomfortable with Rose's glare.

Axton took note of Seras' problem and exchanged phone numbers with her, offering to let her stay with him once he got a place for himself. Seras wasn't entirely sure if she trusted Axton, but she took his number and gave her own all the same. "Before I go, can anyone tell me if this money is worth anything? I don't want to look like an idiot when I try to find a hotel or something." he said while holding out a small wad of what appeared to be standard American dollars.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Should've started the operation earlier. He still had missiles when we went in, so waiting for him to run out of ammunition was pointless."

 

[Chungus]

"Yeah... Well... You'd be suprised." Gideon responded after a while of silence, glancing down towards the ground, before blowing a sigh and looking back up again. "With how important the mines are, safety's a high priority there. They don't want the shipping'f the ore slowed down because a shaft caved in. Amazing how things can change, so long's there big money involved."
[hr]
Etemon yelped as he was levitated off the ground, his legs and tail flailing about. "And you jarheads better put everything back the way you found it, ya hear?!" He called out as he hovered.

Gazimon made a [color=A5ADC0]"Tsk."[/color] noise with his tongue as Tyler approached. [color=A5ADC0]"Yeah, I wanna say you're wasting your time here. Whatever it is you're hoping to find here, pretty sure it's not here. And stay away from my favorite rug!"[/color]

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Fredrick and Mary were looking at the crowds. [color=F87217]"Amazing, I haven't seen a place so busy...."[/color] he muttered to himself.

Mary held up a note to Wheaton.

Not to be rude, but are we going somewhere? is there a particular place you want us to visit?

the small maid wondered, the market place not really taking her interests.

 

[DotSlash]

Looking to Axtion, Wheaton scratched his beard for a moment. "Well... you can have your money converted into British pounds, that's the currency here and those look like American dollars, so you shouldn't have much problem getting it converted. You can also barter items for services. That's rather popular in the marketplace, for people who don't plan on staying here long or just don't trust the pound."

"We're heading off toward a more quiet part of town, my dear." Wheaton stated for Mary's benefit. "Once you're there, you'll be able to head off in any which way you desire. Just remember the marketplace for almost everything you need. If it's too hectic for you, there are small shops within the districts."

Rose tilted her head, continuing her unblinking stare. [color=009933] "I've been pretty well. After your little group ran in, I lost the one place I felt like I belonged, was forced into hiding to avoid being slaughtered like a sheep, and then was forced here due to Skye." [/color] She cracked a venemous, sarcastic smile. [color=009933] "Doing pretty well.... How about you?" [/color]

[hr]

[color=ff7777] "I see... Then I guess I was mistaken." [/color] Amelia's tone showed that she didn't seem convinced but nodded slowly. [color=ff7777] "Well... So what jobs did you want to work here?" [/color] She asked, wanting to get off the subject as her eyes drifted toward the papers in his hands.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Alright. Where do I go to get my cash converted? The nearest bank?" Axton asked.

"Uh...I can't complain..." Seras said to Rose with an awkward laugh. She avoided making eye contact with her.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Liza nodded. "Just a heads up, usually we try to take people alive. Today was different then usual, but if you can manage to not kill people during most bounties, it'd work out better. Now, you got a place to stay?"

[hr]
Emilia grabbed Etemon, and started pulling him along the roof, dropping him to Jameson.

Tyler smiled politely. "You'd be surprised what someone can accomplish when they think someone plans to hurt the places they love. We can find all sorts of things. Things you might not have even thought was in your truck. Just know, your boss brought this on you by promising to cooperate with us when we spoke with him, only to run off. He hopped into a trailer that looks like its a terrorist's wet dream. This isn't looking like it'll have a happy ending for you." he levitated Gazimon as well.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Mary nodded to Wheaton.

Okay, thank you very much sir

she then gave a small smile before returning to stand next to Fredrick.

OoC: GTG night.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Right." Samus said with a nod. "And I think I can stay at the WAOA."

 

[Chungus]

OoC: I'm the demi-god of 2k!

Don't believe me, huh? Go figure. Gideon thought as he closed his eyes for a moment. When Amelia asked about his choice of jobs, he opened them again, and forced a smile. "I chose a couple'f jobs that I assume'd be the same, no matter where you go, for the most part. Others are what I assume I'd be good at. In no paticular order, they are: Painter, carpenter two jobs as a cleaner, one as a window cleaner, a job in wood production, and assembly line work."
[hr]
"Hey! Watch it! Do you have any idea how hard it would be to repair this suit?!" Etemon snarled as he was moved along the roof.

[color=A5ADC0]"Sounds to me you're planning to put something here that's not ours. Good to know you said that, I'll be sure to repeat when it comes up."[/color] Gazimon stated.

 

[DotSlash]

Wheaton gave Axton a single nod. "If I recall correctly, the nearest bank should be between in one of the technological districts and magical districts nearby." The platform would eventually rise to reveal steps leading downward into the city, with they now had a decent overhead view. It was a cloudy day, not the best to fully appreciate the view, but the massive clashing of culture would be visible, temples, hotels, and skyscrapers all popping up in different areas.

Rose simply nodded toward Seras, giving her a crocodile smile as the lift stopped.

[hr]

Amelia tilted her head and nodded toward Gideon then seemed to jolt a bit. [color=ff7777] "Oh! I completely forgot to get some papers myself. Maybe you can help pick some listings out?" [/color]
