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

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus briefly wondered if she had the right place before she entered, having to try and worm her way through the corridor in her suit. She arrived at the desk, her movements accompanied by heavy footsteps and a barely-noticeable hiss from the joints.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Alright Malcor, so as you might guess, we aren't from around here, but I'm guessing that flaming Oni dragons don't happen too often?" Franky asked as the ball turned over towards Malcor.

 

[Chungus]

"No, I arived after all that business happened." Gideon answered, shaking his head as he calmed himself. "But I am one of the folk from another world. Name's Gideon... We were directed here for a place to stay. Are we at the right adress here...?" He asked with some uncertainty in his voice, having been told he would be staying in the more quiet places in London, and what he just saw was anything but quiet.

As Mary chucked her knives, She'd cut clear through about 6 of the tendrils, causing them to spurt out a violet liquid into the air as the monster roared in pain. With her blocking, knives out, Mary would managed to cut two more as they slashed against her skin, probably leaving a red whipmark on the right side of her face.

Rose gave Fredrick a nod before what looked like three violet roses grew on one of the thickened vines on her arm. She grunted as she pulled them out and revealed them to be darts. She threw them artfully and they pierced through another 5 vines, causing them to wither and die. [color=009933] "Mary, get back!" [/color] She called, moving forward as more rose darts began to grow on her arm.

The monster then ready another bundle of vines to whip Mary again, aiming for the body this time. Another pair reached out for Axton

OoC: 37 tendrils left.

[hr]

Amelia blinked as she looked the man in the mask over, but decided to keep quiet for now.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Alright, let's go!" Axton called out as he pulled out a tomahawk that he carried for CQC situations. He would chop at any tendril that came too close.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Mary barely had enough time to give a small salute to Rose as if to say "Roger that" and with that she started to run from the vines closest to her, as she ran along she took out a longer one handed blade and held it in her left hand, holding 2 knives in between her right hand she threw them at the vines "....." Mary took a quick breather before running once more.

Fredrick regained his composure as held his pistol strongly in his right arm. [color=F87217]"You leave my friend alone you blasted overgrown weeds!"[/color] he said, firing 3 shots out of the barrel. Though Fredrick's grip on the pistol was strong, the third shot might of been less accurate due to the recoil of the old pistol.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Malcor smiled. "I wouldn't know. I'm merely visiting. If I had to assume though, I'd guess yes."
one of the monks, dressed in the same attire as the others, stepped forward. "If you are Gideon and Amelia, then yes. Wheaton sent word that you would be coming. We have set aside private rooms for the both of you." Malcor nodded, looking happy. "Glad to hear. Master monk, I pray that the spirits and Oni look upon you favorably. I must go now. Other places to see, and a pilgrim only has so much time." he bowed once more to the monk, who returned the bow, and Malcor moved to stand by the exit, waiting for the 3 there to move.
[hr]
The gum smacking woman looked up at Samus, and sighed. "George, we got another one!" She roared, which caused some thumping to occur farther down the corridor. She looked to Samus and said in a well versed speech "Welcome to the dead or alive bounty shop, M'names Erin, are you registered or looking to register here today?" she asked, seeming bored.

 

[DotSlash]

Axton's chopping would effective as the tendrils closing in on him were cut. However, they spurted the violet liquid like the other once that were cut had done, putting Axton in danger of getting sprayed with the stuff.

As Mary ran, the two vines she had severed also began to spray the violet liquid, aiming toward her before they shortly withered and died after. Her throwing knives managed to sever 5 more. As she took her breather, the monster took the chance to try and wrap one vine around her leg and use its strength to trip her up and send her crashing onto her head.

Fredrick's shots would hit another 4 vines, the third shot missing the writhing mass completely.

Rose took out another 3 darts and threw them, each one hitting a vine and causing it to wither.

OoC: 24 left.

[hr]

Amelia gave the monk a smile and nodded. [color=ff7777] "Y-Yes... That's us." [/color] She stepped to the side to give Malcor room to leave.

 

[Zepherus14]

Franky would be farther into the room, and wouldn't be in the way of Malcor's path.

 

[Chungus]

"That's us, yeah." Gideon said to the monk with a nod after the monk spoke. When Melcor moved to the door, Gideon moved aside to let him pass, and once Melcor would walk out, Gideon would step further into the room. "So, how much is this going't cost us per day?" He asked next, looking to his phone, and shutting down the GPS, before slipping it back into his pocket.

 

[Outisakanobody]

If the violet liquid was harmful, it would be stopped by his shields, which would also weaken. "Alright! Turret on the field! Show em what you got!" Axton shouted as he tossed out his Saber Turret. It would somehow know to only attack the plant creature, shooting it with it's machine gun and rockets. Axton, meanwhile, pulled out a pistol and started firing at the beast. The pistol bullets would cause a small explosion upon contacting anything.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Unless this place has access to Galactic Federation records, I'm looking to register." Samus replied.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

[color=F87217]"Rose! what are these things anywho?"[/color] Fredrick asked as he line up another 3 shots, then started to reload the pellets.

Mary was tripped up slightly by the vines, but turned her body so she fell on her right shoulder. Mary swipe the vine with her long sword and threw her last knife at the beast. As soon she got back up, Mary made the risky move of going to retrieve the blades she had thrown. running with a slight limp, went to back up 2 blades that were now in the bodies of withered plants.

 

[FPSfanatic]

The monk smiled at Gideon. "Well, our garden could use a dedicated gardener. And we always have need for a handyman. Come, I'll show you to your rooms, and we can discuss how best to care for each other." he waved for Amelia and Gideon to follow him.

Malcor nodded to the three, and left.
[hr]
The woman glanced up with both eyebrows raised. "That's a no. George, we got a noob looking to enlist!" the woman roared down the corridor.
A man came stepping out, grumbling "I heard you the first damn time woman, you shouting does not make me go faster!" he slid in behind the desk, muttering to himself, and looked Samus over. He hmmed. "So what skills you got luv?" he asked, rubbing his jaw.

 

[Chungus]

"Eh? You guys don't accept money? Just favours as compensation?" Gideon questioned as he approached the monk, and followed him, while occasionally glancing around the temple.

 

[Zepherus14]

Franky continued to follow along with Gideon and Amelia, not really having anything to do, and needing his phone from Gideon eventually to get it all sorted out.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus didn't respond to the secretary, looking over to George. "Years of experience, genetic augmentation, shielded suit, beam weaponry." she listed off.

 

[DotSlash]

Amelia blinked a bit at what the monk said before rubbing her chin. [color=ff7777] "I think that this might be a better arrangement than just paying them..." [/color] She said, mainly toward Gideon.

[hr]

[color=009933] "This thing's a Megalo man-eater. I don't think I need to explain why it has that name." [/color] Rose called toward Fredrick before throwing three more darts, each hitting another target.

Fredrick's shots would pierce throw 8 of the beast's appendages, sending more violet liquid spurting into the air.

As Mary freed herself, the vine spurted out more violet liquid at her. Since it had been wrapped around her leg, the liquid would probably hit her. If it did, she'd begin to feel a bit more sluggish. Her final knife would have sliced through a single vine as she ran back in.

Rose was about to rush in to try and help Mary out before Axton's turret burst onto the scene. The combined firepower of the rockets and the machine gun would not only keep Mary covered but would sever the remainder of the vines, causing the monster to groan in agony and begin to shrink before the group's eyes. This would also send violet liquid splattering all over, coating Mary in the stuff. The liquid would splatter on Axton's shield, but would weaken it a minimal amount.

Eventually, it would become a harmless looking ball of green smile with a face. The face had an oddly toothy smile as it bounded up to Mary and rubbed against her ankle as the smile turned to a toothy frown, seeming to be the beast's way of saying it was sorry. Rose sighed a bit before the marks on her arms began to shrink. [color=009933] "...Well, that's over with..." [/color]

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Mary did get hit by the acid and took longer picking up her knives, she then looked down at the small green ball, seeing it rub against her leg Mary place a hand on the top of it's head and stroked it lightly. Giving a small smile herself as a way of saying "Your forgiven".

[color=F87217]"It takes it by name and nature!"[/color] He replied to Rose. Fredrick rushed over to Mary and held her arms to see if she was okay. [color=F87217]"Mary oh thank god are you okay? just look at your arms!"[/color] he said, clearly worried. but the silent Maid just gave a small shrug then put her knives away.

Fredrick gave her a hand with walking, as her leg was a little limp.

you two have my thanks, sorry for the trouble that caused you both

a note read out that she held up to Axton and Rose.

OoC: Must be off now, night doods.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Nah, I don't think so. Looks like the thing's still alive." Axton said as he recalled his turret after patting it fondly. "Don't worry, I got it." he said as he approached the little ball with his tomahawk out and a large grin. "Thought you were real clever attacking out of nowhere like that, didn't ya? Well, let's see what you got inside you, you little tomato lookin bastard." he said to the ball as he approached.
