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

[Zepherus14]

Gideon would be able to get one foot out over the roadway before he heard an authoritative voice. "Stop right there almost criminal scum!" The traffic cone maybe two feet to the side of Gideon got up and seemed to have floating hands beside it. "That sign says that it is not safe to cross this intersection at this time. Are you new here or something?"

'Holy crap traffic cones are talking... Hopefully he doesn't have an extended family... Ran over plenty before in my career...'

 

[Chungus]

When he heard the voice call for him to stop, Gideon did so as he looked around, before looking to the general direction the talking trafic cone was in. That voice came from there, didn't it...? But there's noone there? He glanced around for a moment more, but finally looked to the trafic cone itself when it spoke again. Gideon said nothing, however, being too taken aback to do so. "Uhhh..."

 

[Zepherus14]

"Roight, so listen and listen good newcomer. That there is a traffic light. When it has dat ol' hand up there. It means you need to stop. When it got the bitty white walkin' lad there, it means you can cross dat ol' street with no muss or fuss. You understand chum?" The traffic cone explained, having plenty of gestures that wouldn't be possibly with regular hands like one hand walking like a regular person and such.

 

[Chungus]

"Uhh... Right..." Was Gideon's only initial response as he took a step back and rubbed his eyelids. Am I hallucinating somehow? That couldn't be it, could it...? After blinking twice, Gideon looked to the trafic cone again, and narrowed his eyes, as to focus his vision. Guess that thing's real... This place is weird. "T'won't happen again." He finally added, rubbing the back of his neck.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Tidy. Roight so off you go then." The traffic cone said as the light changed for them to cross.

After crossing to the other side of the street and waiting a little just to make sure he wasn't overheard by the cone. "That... was weird..." He just said bluntly.

 

[Chungus]

Gideon blew a sigh, and slipped his free hand into the pocket of his coat. When the trafic light jumped to green, Gideon crossed the street with Franky, and nodded at his comment. "That's putting it lightly. That was just plain something I'd expect to see in some children's cartoon..."

 

[Zepherus14]

"As bizarre as it might be... wouldn't shock me if you were right..." He replied. "But once we get to your place I can try to program my bracer to function for that giant brick of a phone. Like hell am I going to be carting around something that weighs as much as I do..."

 

[Chungus]

"Yeah, alright. To my new place it is." Gideon said with a nod. Moving closer to a building so to not stand in anyone's way, Gideon brought up the map again, hovering the index finger of his free hand over the free. "Okay, so let's see... From here, we take a right, then go straight ahead, then left. Then... Who the fuck comes up with these street names?" He muttered to himself as he checked the map. After checking for a while longer, uhh-ing as he did, Gideon snapped his fingers. "Alright, got it. This way." He stated, looking to Franky, before following the route he planned out.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Maybe one of the other traffic cones did, or maybe his brother Mr. Pepper shaker." Franky added sarcastically, laughing at first until it dawned on him that could potentially happen here.

 

[Chungus]

"You never know." Gideon responded, blowin a soft sigh as he hook his head while he walked. "Wanna take a guess what the receptionist of the hotel we're going to looks like? I bet it's some kinda worm person."

 

[Zepherus14]

"I have worm people in my universe, rather friendly folk if ya ask me, don't say too much though. Not a big fan of carpets though, but what can ya do." Franky replied to Gideon, scratching his ear a little as he adjusted his seat. "I'm just going to say a regular nothing special human. With everything heard, I'd expect they would be really rare around here all things considered."

 

[FPSfanatic]

When Gideon and Franky arrived at the building they were heading towards, they would see that someone had plonked down a Japanese Shinto temple in the middle of London.

 

[Chungus]

"Makes sense in theory, I guess." Gideon said with a small shrug. "We'll see what we'll run in to. If you're right, I'll treat you to some peanut butter or something. When I'll have some money, anyway."

After having needed to stop to check the map map every now and again, Gideon finally found the magic enclave, Gideon stopped when he saw the Shinto temple. "Guess this is the place... Looks kinda creepy." He said to himself as he looked the building over with curiousity, having never seen anything like it. Let's see what this place is like on the inside... Walking up to the temple, Gideon stopped at the door, before sliding it open and entering the temple. "Hello?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

Eventually Seras rode the elevator back to the dorms and laid down again. She felt somewhat lonely now that everyone was gone, not knowing about the new arrivals. As she was on her bed, she began to wonder how she could go about getting a job, considering she couldn't really go out during the day. She considered going back into bounty hunting, but she decided she would rather not do that and would save that for a last resort. Thinking about bounty hunting made her remember her time with Ness and Eve, which made her a little sad. "I wish I had a way to keep in touch with them...I reall hope Ness is okay..." she said with a small sigh.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Gideon would find himself looking into a antechamber partioned off by thin bamboo doors, leading deeper into the temple. Lights were shining on both sides of the doors, and the outline of an eastern style dragon would be visible, backlit by the light as it was. Its outline quickly moved away from the door.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Ah we'll see I guess then!" Franky laughed, seeming to be quite happy about the offer of peanut butter.

When they entered the temple, Franky looked around at the scenery. "Well it's definitely different, but I'm not sure if I would say creepy. Looks rather nice all things considered. Not my taste mind you, but I already know not everyone has my taste."

 

[Chungus]

Walking further into the antechamber, Gideon looked around, a little on edge. "Anyone here?" He called out, before walking in further. "How different everything here is is kinda making me nervous, though. Especially if who-knows what kind of unsavoury things're alowed to walked around." He said to Franky as he looked around.

Seeing the outlining of the dragon, Gideon stopped moving for a moment, but blew a silent sigh when the outlining moved away. "I think I saw something over there." Was that a snake? After a moment of thinking, Gideon decided to try and see where the dragon moved off to, and approached the bamboo doors, and would opened them if possible.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"I don't really have anything interesting to tell there. How about you?" Axton asked Rose, smirking again.

 

[DotSlash]

As Amelia made it to the temple, she blinked twice and made sure she was on the correct part of the map before looking back up. [color=ff7777] ....I don't even need to be from here to know this is waaaay out of place... [/color] Sighing a bit to herself, she made her way to enter the temple and looked around.

[hr]

[color=009933] "...Hmm..." [/color] Rose started as she thought on how to explain it before looking back to her. [color=009933] "Aliens are beings from other worlds... Uh... Technology is a term for things that make things easier to do. Think like your clothes.... You'd be a lot colder if you didn't have that dress on, and presumably you like being warm, so your clothes make things easier for you in that way. Telepaths are things that can see into other things' minds, so they can tell what your thinking... The last thing I said was... bounty hunters..." [/color] She tilted her head a little more, lightly biting her lower lip before coming up with something. [color=009933] "They kill or capture really bad people and then they get paid for it when people ask them to." [/color]

Looking over toward Axton, the plant girl blinked blankly. [color=009933] "None that I feel like sharing at the moment." [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Alright. Maybe some other time." Axton said as he turned away to look at the vegetation. I still got it. Totally. he thought to himself.
