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

[FPSfanatic]

Rozlynn nodded, taking another bite of pizza.

The Lunchlady pulled out a pail, and grabbed a cup, dipping it into the pail, and pulling out a glass of blood. "Here you are, nice AB+. Drink up!" she said, offering the drink to Seras, tentacle extending a creepy amount.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Thank you." Seras said in a small voice as she took the glass and drank it.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness took another few bites before looking back to Roz. [color=666666] "Is there anything else you'd like to say to me or that you can tell me about that mission that would help it go smoothly? ...That goes for both of you." [/color] She said, being sure to make eye contact.

[hr]

Carmen nodded casually as she put a finger to her chin. [color=bb0066] "Alright... I think I can come up with something in a bit of time. As long as you keep that key on your person, you'll know when I'll need a favor done. Though seeing as Ms. van Drake has it, I wouldn't be worried about it at all." [/color] She sat herself back down as numerous lesson plans she had used with her other, more successful students ran through her head.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Rozlynn looked up, and her eyes glinted orange. "Try not to catch the eye of the Long Fang. She wouldn't take it well. And if you want to keep an eye out, the group that caused the fight likes the symbol of a striking snake. Just a warning."

"No problem." the Lunchlady burbled, before sliding back into the kitchen.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Mary's eyes narrowed a bit, she really wondered what Carmen was planning. Seeing as she couldn't speak up about it she decided to just keep it to herself, but would keep a clear mind and close eye on both Fredrick and Mary.

May I ask about the strange symbols on the key?

Fredrick sat down as well. [color=F87217]Have you taught many people before?"[/color] He asked Carmen. [color=F87217]"And Yes, I would entrust my life to Mary if I could psychically pass it to her. So one key shouldn't be a problem for her I'm sure"[/color] Fredrick added with a smile.

Mary heard the compliment and gave a small smile.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness blinked for a moment before nodding. [color=666666] "Understood...." [/color] She paused for a bit longer before cocking an eyebrow. [color=666666] "Wait... then who are we supposed to talk to learn about what we need to? I assumed we'd be speaking to this Long Fang for that..." [/color]

[hr]

Carmen tilted her head as she read the note. [color=bb0066] "Hmmmm? Strange symbols? What do you mean?" [/color] Looking back to Fredrick, she nodded. [color=bb0066] "Yes, numerous people, spirits, demons and other species~!" [/color] She said, smiling and seeming proud of herself. [color=bb0066] "My latest student, a vampire, was one of my most successful. I can only hope she's keeping up with her studies while I'm not there." [/color] She seemed to look to the side for a moment, a genuinely warm smile creeping onto her face.

Her eyes drifted to looking at the couple and her smile increased a small bit. [color=bb0066] (Oh, you two are just too cute....) [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras finally set her glass down somewhere and walked back over to Ness. She then quietly sat next to her.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Adam looked at Ness. "We'll be talking to her. You won't. Its a bad idea, you talking to her. It won't go well."

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Mary took the key out and pointed to the insignia of the crescent moon as if to say "this strange symbol".

Fredrick seemed to peak up a little. [color=F87217]"Wow, it seems you've teached a wide spread of various species then"[/color] after hearing the mention of a Vampire, Fredrick put a hand to his chin. [color=F87217]"Hmmm, I've only met one Vampire in my life..."[/color] he muttered, going off topic slightly.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness blinked for a bit before her eyes narrowed a small bit. [color=666666] "Are you saying I shouldn't bother going on this mission then?" [/color] Her expression softened slightly as she noticed Seras sitting nearby and she gave her a small wave before looking back to Adam, seeming more confused than anything, along with being a small bit suspicious.

[hr]

Carmen blinked as Mary pointed out the symbol before letting out a long [color=bb0066] "Oooooooh~!" [/color] She chuckled before explaining further. [color=bb0066] "Alright, to put it simply, that's my family's emblem. Every demon that becomes a St.Luna ends up having a birthmark shaped just like that symbol. If I recall correctly, it's the waxing crescent, so it's supposed to denote potential and coming success." [/color] She said, tilting her head and placing a finger on her head as she tried to recall her own family history correctly.

Looking to Fredrick, she smiled. [color=bb0066] "Yes, I have. But what was this vampire you've met like?" [/color]

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Mary wrote a note.

So you have your Family's emblem on here as a sign of respect then?

She held up to Carmen, having a bit a questioned face on her.

And maybe to wish My Master good luck?

[color=F87217]"He was a bit, oh what's the word...bizarre to say the least..."[/color] Fredrick replied to Carmen. [color=F87217]"Then again I haven't seen him for a good few years now, so my memory of the chap is blurred to say the least"[/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

"Ooh! Ooh! Make it say somethin' then!" Sibylla giddily requested, getting her hopes up. "Really? Could Ah use it ta tell Maw an' Paw that Ah'll be back home after a while?" Maybe they won't be so sore at me if I do...

[hr]

The woman scratched her chin with her left hand for a moment before shrugging. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." She sighed and looked back to Ness as she walked alongside her, smiling and saying, "Can't see any reason why you couldn't come along. Plus I'd really like that, so sure!"

The woman eye-balled Seras, finding it odd and suspicious how clingy she was with her companion.
Once in the cafeteria, she sat by Ness and quietly picked at a salad she had built while waiting for Ness' attention to free up for a moment. She raised an eyebrow as she heard Rozlynn?s voice changing, but otherwise didn't seem too thrown by it.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Adam sucked on his teeth. "I don't know. it might be a bad idea. It might be a great idea. its a gamble. I hate gambles. Dad loved 'em." he leaned back, thinking. "You'd probably best come with us. Long Fang is a even headed lady. We'll see what happens."

Adam looked around the room, and said in Rozlynn's voice "You all ready to go then? Might as well head out."

[hr]

Wheaton's eyes darkened, seeming sad. "I'm afraid they might not have a phone that this phone can call miss Sibylla. We could try, but I think it would be simplest just to take you home. And that will take a while."

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras looked at the cat woman and got a little sad as she remembered Roxy. "Hello." she said with a polite smile.

 

[DotSlash]

[color=666666] "Alright, it's settled then~!" [/color] Ness said enthusiastically, putting a fist into the air. [color=666666] "We've got a map of the area and everything too, so it shouldn't be too bad. I'll be looking forward to it, Jess." [/color] She replied, giving the catwoman a small wink.

-----[and then later]-----​

Ness paused for a moment or two before sighing and nodding. [color=666666] "Alright then..." [/color] She took the last few bites of her salad and rose up out of her seat to put her plate away. [color=666666] "I'll head out in a bit...or maybe not at all." [/color]

Amelia perked up as she noticed the announcement. She had already finished her food and was waiting idly. She now stood up and walked over toward Roz and the others.

[hr]

Carmen nodded to both points Mary gave. [color=bb0066] "Yes, pretty much. It also denotes that that key and the place it links to is owned by my family, so please be sure to take care once you find yourself in the area." [/color] She seemed a small bit saddened that Fredrick didn't remember all that much. [color=bb0066] Ah, you humans can be so forgetful sometimes... It's cute in a way and sad in others. "I see.... that can't be helped... Oh well..." [/color]

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Mary nodded.

Of course, I will keep it safe and take care.

She wrote to Carmen, then attached it to the chain on her wrist.

Fredrick was looking at his phone, trying to access the map so he could label where Gara's inn was.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Hearing Roz speak, Samus stood and walked over.

 

[DotSlash]

[color=bb0066] "Much obliged, dear." [/color] Carmen said, nodding to Mary to show her appreciation before noting the group beginning to move toward Roz. [color=bb0066] "It looks like we're going to be off soon... Let's not get left behind..." [/color] She stated as she walked over toward Roz and the others.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

[color=F87217]"Indeed we don't"[/color] Fredrick replied to Carmen, he got up and lowered his left arm to Mary. [color=F87217]"You going to join us Mary?"[/color] The small Maid just nodded and held onto Fredrick's arm.

The Duo followed Carmen and walked over towards Roz and the Others.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Oh... Right. Yea, they wouldn't..." Sibylla replied to Wheaton, her spirits taking a sharp turn round away from giddy and hopeful.

[hr]

The woman, identifiable as Jess now, chuckled at Ness' enthusiasm. "Same here."

Scene Change

"Hi." Jess replied to Seras in a neutral tone. "So, how do you know Vanessa?" She asked, there being only a noticeably slight pause between her greeting and question. She stayed seated and continued working on her food for a time while Ness was deciding on what to do.
