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

[Zepherus14]

Franky stretched his arms as he continued to look at the group inspecting the weapons until he saw Vanessa deep in thought. 'Wonder what she's thinking about?' He thought as he reached over to his controls. "Hey what you got on your mind Vanessa? Lookin' pretty important?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

Seras looked over all the guns and carefully considered what to take. She decided to take a Tommy gun and a revolver. After gather enough of the appropriate ammo, she also took an axe, figuring it would be nice to have a melee weapon and figuring it would be easier to use than a sword. She was able to carry a lot more ammo than a normal person and still move around comfortably.

Blondie casually looked over all the weapons, but was uninterested. "I have a rifle up with my things. Can I go get it?" he asked the woman in charge.

 

[Demonjazz]

Alakazam projected his thoughts to everybody in the room Do we know what this guy we're supposed to catch looks like?

 

[DotSlash]

After a small delay, Vanessa tensed up a small bit before registering Franky's voice. She looked down and scratched the back of her head a small bit. [color=666666] "I-It's not all that important, but I'm a bit excited to go exploring down there. Building an entire life supporting structure underwater... Lots of 'hows?' and 'whys?' are swimming around in my head right now.... That sort of stuff...." [/color]

She paused for a moment before looking back to the ball. [color=666666] "How about you?" [/color] Alakazam would find that Vanessa seemed not to pick up on his projection.

Amelia kept silent for the moment, half focusing herself and half observing the others in the group.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Her preparations handles, Seras walked over to Ness.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Not that surprised about the building really. Blueline ten years back actually was held in one if you can believe it." Franky explained. "Not entirely sure about doing all this really, thought it was a bit more urgent, had my weapons primed and everything as we went through that door back there... Going to be errand boy rubs my fur the wrong way, you get what I've sayin'?"

Franky heard the mental message, and then realized it would actually a really good one. 'Hmm... Not bad.' "What about this guy, what does he look like, seems kinda important if you ask me."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus finish loading up, heading to the other door.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness nodded solemnly. [color=666666] "...We're technically not being paid upfront and the only thing we could consider compensation is the thought of being returned home." [/color] She said to the ball. [color=666666] "But still, if this helps us all return home, then it'll be worth it... even if we're all just errand boys and girls." [/color] Seeing Seras come up in her peripheral vision, she gave the vampire a small wave.

Amelia scoffed silently at what she heard and walked toward the door. [color=ff7777] They should be honored to be delivering justice to those who need it... [/color] Noting the message, she was about to speak up, but refrained from doing so as she heard Franky speak.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Hi Vanessa. I...wanted to talk to you about something." Seras said to Ness.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Oh don't get me wrong, money would be awesome, but that's not really the issue. Just being what people call 'the man' just irks me, nothing personal to the lovely organization of... what was it again? WOAO or something? Wait no, WAOA!" He replied to Vanessa, air quoting when he mentioned 'the man'.

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Afraid we don't have time for that. Grab what you think might compensate for it being gone." with that, she gestured to the door. It opened, revealing a strange oval hovering in the center of that room. It glowed with light, despite being black as night, and looked solid. "Now you'd all be best off getting a move on, to keep things from going worse. Speed and stealth will be your allies here. Look for the guy declaring himself king of everything, and you should be fine in locating him."

 

[Outisakanobody]

OOC: FPS: I'm hoping this isn't just going to be a single fight, since I envisioned more than that.

Blondie shrugged and moved toward the light.

Seras looked like she really wanted to talk to Ness, but didn't want to hold things up either.

 

[Demonjazz]

Alakazam looked around at the group Truly this is a group that can blend in with people from 50's He said yet again broadcasting his thoughts. He also made mental note that Ness was immune to Psychic readings. He than turned to Franky and said What does that even stand for?

 

[Zepherus14]

Franky looked towards the floating black light, thinking on if he should just gun it into the oval, or instead use a poorly timed pun about the order in which the female part of a species should normally have the right of way into opportunities.

He decided to let the eager beavers go first, since he was still seeing if Vanessa was going to add anything else to her conversation.

"I have it written down somewhere, but to be frank floating body-less voice, it doesn't matter too much right now I would think." He added, not sure who was talking, but suspected the flying mustache man.

 

[DotSlash]

[color=666666] "I can understand that sort of outlook too. Right now, we've got little choice. 'The man' holds our only ticket out." Since things have gone a bit haywire for me at least.... [/color] Ness said with a small chuckle before looking toward the light and raising an eyebrow. [color=666666] "...Well, that's not foreboding..." [/color] Looking over toward Seras, she tilted her head. [color=666666] "...And that was?" [/color]

Amelia silently walked into the ball of light, not looking back.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"W-well...when we were working together before, you sometimes offered me some of your...blood. When I needed it, like if I was hurt or something. Would you...still be willing to do that?" Seras asked, seeming quite nervous.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus stepped into the light.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Right..." Franky groaned as he knew that Vanessa was right. "Alright lets get that asshole, and then have some more well deserved R and R." He sighed as the ball rolled slightly getting into a better position to go towards the portal. "Ya, you'd think they would make it look a bit more inviting, maybe a doormat, some nice colours, some milk and cookies perhaps?" He said jokingly as he sped off as he went into the portal.

He would have left before Seras had asked her question.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness chuckled a small bit at what Franky had said before her sped into the orb. Looking to Seras, her reply was almost immediate. [color=666666] "You don't need to worry about it. If you need it, I'll try to help." [/color] She sighed a small bit before rolling her shoulders a bit and stepping toward the orb. [color=666666] "If that's all, let's get moving. Don't want to keep the others waiting just in case." [/color]

Once she got an answer, she'd hop into the orb as well.

 

[FPSfanatic]

those stepping into the light would have the curious sensation of having all their skins feel pins-and-needles, as if someone had laid down on their bodies until the nerves had deadened. Then they would feel a biting cold, a hot shiver down the spine, and find themselves in a broom closet entirely too small for the number of people entering it, with their mouth tasting faintly of toothpaste and orange juice.
