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

[HatchyHatch14]

Fredrick smiled towards the women. [color=F87217]"Yes we are rather new to the area, arrive just a couple of days ago in fact"[/color] He said, putting away his monical. [color=F87217]"Allow me to introduce myself I am Sir Fredrick James Howlington, and this is my assistant Mary Van Drake. Your name Madam would be?"[/color]

As soon as Mary laid eyes on the winged women, a shiver went down her spine, this was differently not the God of Life. But Mary felt strange, like she had meet someone similar to the women in front of her, the fact she couldn't think who was most unsettling.

Once the receptionist walked out behind the desk, Gideon followed behind him, looking over the hallways of the hotel as he was lead to the room. As he walked, Gideon wondered why Amelia was being as timid as she was, thinking the receptionist didn't look all that scary, and acted like it even less so. He also wondered why a receptionist was taking the time to show people around the hotel, and what would happen if a person wanted to check in while he was gone.

Once the receptionist entered the room, Gideon looked the room over from the door at first, before walking in further, and looking around the interior more. All this isn't worth the extra cash as far's I'm concerned. Once the receptionist asked if the room was adequate, Gideon looked to Amelia. "What about it?" He asked.

 

[DotSlash]

Amelia blinked and nodded. [color=ff7777] "It's f-f-fine by me..." [/color]

The man simply waited. The hallways would be decently furnished, paintings and some alien-looking tables decorating it.

[hr]

[color=bb0066] "Carmen St. Luna. A pleasure, Sir Howlington and Ms. Drake." [/color] The succubus replied, getting up and giving the duo a curtsy. [color=bb0066] "Ah, so I'm not alone in that then either. Good to hear. Hopefully, we'll get along." [/color] She said with a warm smile.

[hr]

As Axton and Jensen continued down the staircase, it would continue for a long time, almost for what seemed like hours. They'd eventually come to a small landing with a circular tunnel leading from it. A bit of water leaked from the ceilings and the faint sound of cheering and a loud but muffled voice.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"This better not be my 'private room.'" Axton grumbled as he moved down the tunnel.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Fredrick smiled at Carmen. [color=F87217]"As long as you remain friendly I'm sure we shall all get along just fine!"[/color] he said. [color=F87217]"If I may be so bold to ask, but those bat wings of yours? I take it your not exactly Human are you?"[/color]

Mary just stood still, writing down notes in her book. Her red eyes would gaze over the pages every now and again.

 

[Chungus]

"Right then." Gideon responded before walking out of the room, and looking up to the receptionist, giving a small nod. "Yeah, this is nice enough. Don't need anything more fancy. We're not looking to book a room right now, but we'll probably be back." He stated with a polite smile.

 

[DotSlash]

The man gave Gideon another nod before leading them back to the lobby. As he did, they'd notice that what seemed like another copy of the man was sitting at the receptionist desk. The one with them seemed completely fine with this as he gave them a small bow goodbye. "We hope you'll choose our hotel to stay at." He said flatly as he quickly got back to his job, the copy disappearing.

[hr]

[color=bb0066] "No, I'm not." [/color] Carmen said, seeming just as cheerful. [color=bb0066] "I'm a demon, a succubus to be precise. I hope that won't be a problem for either of you." [/color] She blinked a bit as she noticed Mary flipping through her book, but said nothing in a moment.

[hr]

As they continued, the noise would get louder and the duo would notice a play-by-play being announced of what sounded like a brutal fight.

"GOTDAMN! LOOKIT ALL THAT BLOOD!!"
"HOW MUCH MORE CAN THIS POOR MAN TAKE!?!"

Eventually, they walk into what looked like a massive underground stadium with multiple screens showing a scene of carnage in the center ring. A cyborg with a chainsaw for an arm was tearing through a horde of what looked like soldiers and obviously reveling in it. The crowd around was cheering, hooting, the roar of the crowd almost deafening. The seats were packed and seemed to go up impossibly high. As they walked, they'd see the stadium's seats were set up in three different tiers. Axton and Jensen were currently in the lowest level, there was another level above those, but the people taking these seats couldn't be observed without some sort of scope. The highest level would be near impossible to observe, but the goal seemed to be obvious.

"Quite the operation... Let's try to find us a way inside." Jensen said a little loudly to hopefully make himself heard.

[hr]

Previously:

[color=009933] "...Right, of course. It was nice to get to know you a little better." [/color] Rose said, giving Sibylla a small smile in hopes to making her feel better.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Fredrick shook his head. [color=F87217]"Why wouldn't it be? I'm not the sort of man to be predigest towards creatures, human or not"[/color] he said with a smile. [color=F87217]"Although it is always interesting to meet someone from a species I haven't met previously"[/color]

Mary put her notebook in her front pocket of her apron.

Master, would you like me to fetch you anything

she asked via note to Fredrick.

Fredrick just waved his hand dismissively. [color=F87217]"No thanks Mary, I'm fine for the moment"[/color] Fredrick replied, taking off his jacket and sitting down.

 

[Chungus]

Once back in the lobby, Gideon saw the receptionist still behind the desk, then glanced over to the double, just in time to see it disappear. Some kind'f hologram? But... I saw him leave? Uh. Whatever. Just smile and nod. "We'll see. Have a nice day." He said, before walking out of the hotel, holding the door open for Amelia.

"So, are you gonna stay at that place, or will you look around some more to see if there's a better offer out there?" He asked Amelia once outside.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"What if we found the target and took him out outside of the ring?" Axton asked Jensen.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen seemed to get even more cheery as Fredrick spoke. [color=bb0066] "I'm very happy to hear that. Many people tend to give me dirty looks when I tell them that. Hopefully I'll leave a good impression of my race on you." [/color] She said as Gara hopped back into the room holding two keys and door tags. [color=990099] "Would you two like separate rooms or one together?" [/color] She asked before noticing Carmen. [color=990099] "Good to see the neighbors are getting along~!" [/color]

Looking over toward Mary and her note writing, Carmen tilted her head a small bit. [color=bb0066] "Hmm... Note passing?" [/color]

[hr]

Amelia scratched behind her horn again, beginning to calm down a small bit. [color=ff7777] "...W-We'll see.... I... I think I'll look at that last place. Um.... Good luck with those calls... and s-sorry for holding you up..." [/color] She said, beginning to turn her own way.

[hr]

"Think about that for a second, mack. Where do ya think the leader of this big ass ring is? Obviously at the top. Ya think he's gonna go out of his way to meet some nobody?--and that's what you n' I are down here, mack, nobodies. Don't take it personal.." Jensen stated. "Gonna need to infiltrate or blow this entire place up... but..." He looked back to the arena and the massive amounts of blood. "...who knows what other kinds of crazies they got around here."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Hell, if you wanna play their game, let's do it." Axton said with a shrug.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Fredrick smiled towards Carmen. [color=F87217]"That sounds like the sort of thing my Father would do if he was still around..."[/color] Fredrick then turned to Gara. [color=F87217]"Thank you Miss Gara, and if Separate rooms aren't to much of a hassle then we would most prefer that"[/color]

Mary turned to Carmen, meeting her stares.

Yes, I'm afraid this is the way I Communicate. I hope that is okay with you, Madam Luna.

Mary wrote and held up for Carmen to read.

OoC: I'm off for the night, early start and what not.
@Dotslash: If you wanna reply and I'll get back to it tomorrow that's fine with me

 

[Chungus]

"Alright then. See you back at the shrine, I guess. And it was no problem. Just glad I could help out a bit." Gideon responded, then waved Amelia off. After, he pulled out his phone, and brought up the map to refresh his memory on how to get back to the temple, before closing the map and bringing up the list of numbers he saved. As he began walking back to the temple, Gideon dialed a number, and rolled his eyes at the jingle that was played as the line was held. Yup... No matter where you go, this is always the same...

 

[DotSlash]

Jensen raised an eyebrow before shrugging and looking around. "Either way, we gotta find ourselves a way into the back." Axton might notice a few men in suits stationed around certain doorways around the area.

[hr]

Gara smiled as she handed both Mary and Fredrick their own key with a door tag, each with a number printed on it. Mary's was 320 and Fredrick's was 321. [color=990099] "Those are your rooms and their on the third floor. If you need anything, just give me a holler~" [/color] She said cheerfully.

Carmen raised an eyebrow. [color=bb0066] "I see... I'm sorry to hear that... mainly to the fact that he has passed on." [/color] She leaned in a bit to read the note before shaking her head dismissively. [color=bb0066] "It's no problem, dear. In fact, I'd rather prefer this. It's like whispering without having to worry about people overhearing you. It must be nice in some ways." [/color] She stated with a smile.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Axton walked up to some suited men. "Hi boys. What's behind the door?" he asked in a chummy and familiar tone.

 

[Drakmorg]

Past Tense:

"R-Really? Ya'll mean that?" Sibylla nervously asked Rose for confirmation. Feeling she had to repay the attention given to her, she asked, "Whut were your, uhm... Parents you called 'em? Whut were yours like?"

 

[DotSlash]

The two guards looked toward one another as Axton stepped forward. They both looked like someone had taught a wolf to stand on its hind legs and just threw a waistcoat, a long sleeved white shirt and black dress pants onto them. The one to the right had blue colored fur and growled a bit at Axton. "Only authorized personnel can enter here." The other, fur colored red, nodded in agreement. "Hope you'll understand and enjoy the carnage. Hope ya don't get splattered with blood. Glass walls tend not to be high enough for some of the bigger splatters."

[hr]

Previously:

Rose nodded, seeming surprised Sibylla was taking an interest in her. [color=009933] "Of course! It's nice to talk to people about things other than work or not dying sometimes. It's kind of lonely working here sometimes..." [/color] She said with a small sigh before blinking twice as the gorgon asked her question. [color=009933] "...Uh... Well, I guess it's fair since I asked you so many questions..." [/color]

She looked up toward the glass ceiling for a moment or two before looking back to Sibylla. [color=009933] "Well... they were nice people. My mom was a florist too and my dad worked in a factory when I was little. I learned to love flowers and plants in general from Mom... I haven't seen them in a long while though." [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"But you didn't answer my question, boys. I don't wanna go back there, I just wanna know, ya know?" Axton said, wondering if he could outsmart these two beasts.
