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

[DotSlash]

Ness frowned a small bit as she listened to the paladin. [color=666666] ....He's reminding me of that other armored man I met... [/color] She simply nodded in response, not in the mood to start an ethics debate with the tour guide. [color=666666] "Right...maybe we should move on then...." [/color] She suggested somewhat quickly.

She looked over as she noticed Jess seeming confused and tilted her head a bit. [color=666666] ...She has churches in her world, doesn't she? [/color]

[hr]

As JD continued walking, he and Seras would eventually find themselves walking down a small pathway that cut through the jungle. While the path was somewhat clear, the jungle was quickly trying to reclaim its territory, plants hanging over the area and various weeds and vines in the way. JD sighed as he began nudging the things out of his way. [color=333388] "Just try to be careful. It's hard to see and it's easy to trip up." [/color]

With the dying light of the sun and the trees casting massive shadows, it would be like JD said, difficult to navigate through the area. With JD being a shadow, it would also be a bit difficult to keep track of him as Seras walked through.

 

[Drakmorg]

For the moment, Jess still continued to look focused on the churches, not seeming to be paying much attention to Ness and Reginald's shout-y conversation.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras had very good night vision, so it wasn't that hard for her to keep up.

 

[DotSlash]

As she and JD moved through the brush, Seras would eventually find that they had come to a sort of grand wooden tower. It was large, but not enough so to poke up over the gargantuan jungle trees. The area was shaded, but thankfully, a large number of the bio-luminescent plants had been grown here, covering the dark area in a colorful mess of neon lights. They had gotten bright enough that it wasn't difficult to see. JD walked onward, his form seeming to temporarily swallow the colors given off as he headed toward the a doorway that had a light on in it.

[hr]

As Ness waited for Reginald to move, she looked over toward Jess, seeing that she still looked confused. She walked up and tapped her once again, pulling out her PDA. [color=666666]

 "What's up? Do you see something on the buildings?"

[/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"So you're staying here then? With a roommate?" Seras asked as she continued to follow JD. She began to wonder if following a shadowy stranger into a dark forest alone was a good idea, but she figured she could handle herself.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Reginald shook his head. "Lets keep moving. I imagine you'd like to see some of the junk shops." he suggested, moving towards the aforementioned shops in the distance.

 

[DotSlash]

[color=333388] "Yeah... pretty much...." [/color] The shadow replied lazily as he tapped on the door. [color=333388] "Dani! You in there?!" [/color] As he called out, there was no answer for a time. Eventually, the doorway opened to reveal a pair of red-violet eyes peeking through the crack. [color=ff00ff] "Jeez.... You don't need to be so loud, JD." [/color] The eyes the soft spoken voice came from drifted to see Seras and blinked twice once they looked at her. [color=ff00ff] "There's other people here? I thought they said there was no human life here.... [small] Lyin' bastards.... [/small] Yo, you! Do you know anything about the ruins then?" [/color] The girl asked somewhat forcefully toward Seras. JD said nothing but rubbed his chin a small bit.

[hr]

As Reginald moved forward, Ness nodded and followed after, waiting for Jess before she went.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras blinked as she was asked this question so suddenly. "Ruins? I just arrived here a little while ago..." she asked, figuring that would be answer enough.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jess turned back to face Ness when she felt her attention being needed once again. Glancing at the screen being held in front of her and reading it, she shook her head in reply. When the tour began moving once again she followed along as usual.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness calmly stashed her PDA into her labcoat once more as Jess responded, seeming a small bit confused as she did. [color=666666] ...Then what was it...? [/color]

[hr]

The eyes narrowed a bit before JD whispered something to her. There was a small sigh audible before the voice called out once more. [color=ff00ff] "Alright, forget I said anything... I just hope you're not expecting ball gowns here. Come in." [/color] The door shut and JD motioned toward it theatrically.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras cautiously entered the building.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"So...You see many aliens where you're from." Axton asked Samus as he watched the sun go down.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"All of the time. I've probably been on more alien worlds and ships than human ones."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Yeah? Any intelligent ones?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Many. Chozo, Luminoth, Vhozon, Kriken, Phrygisians... Space Pirates..." Samus started listing them on her fingers, but when she reached the Pirates, her hand closed into a fist.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Really? So all those guys, like, built buildings and stuff? All the aliens I've ever seen were pretty much just animals."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"All sentient, all intelligent. Not all of them friendly though. And I've been on many different planets, each with their own ecosystems. Lots of strange fauna and flora there."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Yeah, pretty much the same here. Except, like I said, no alien civilizations or anything. I'm almost jealous."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"No, you're not. Trust me. And whatever strange creature's you've seen, I've seen stranger."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"That's just it. Fighting animals and other people gets dull pretty quick. Pandora was kinda nice, but even then the fighting there wasn't all that challenging. Except for Jack."
