We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[Chungus]

At night​

"It's not even out of your own will, is it?" Timea stated. "So not only are you an interloper, but a tool, as well! That's just wonderful, isn't it?" With that said, Timea closed her eyes, and focused on her breathing, taking slow breath, doing so to keep herself from getting too angry. "Justice is an abstract concept, empty of any meaning. It's simply another excuse for people to go against things they don't like. And I don't like you. If I shared your sense of justice, you wouldn't be walking away from here, unharmed."

Opening her eyes, Timea let out a breath, then said, "Fortunately for you; I don't. Now get out of my sight, we have nothing more to talk about."

Early dawn​

Seeing Sibylla not showing any signs of waking up, Timea glanced back to her, noting she was still vast asleep. She considered waking Sibylla up, but decided against it, but decided against it, letting Sibylla have a few more hours of rest.

 

[Silence]

"You feel so smug, don't you? You don't even understand what I'm talking about, and still feel angry.

I'm sorry I did not tell you everything, Old One, but very well, I will go." Anik said and began to walk away.

Then she turned one last time and said:
"You should be careful around these two, sand girl. I wish you luck." before continuing onwards.

Robin waved hello to the Magic Eye.

Matilda finished off her glass of water, then said, [color=006d5b]"Only problem is; how can we get anywhere? I don't feel like walking through a desert."[/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

[color=9f2089]"Shara mentioned something about getting a job on one of those barges taking goods north from here. That oughta get us some of the way at least."[/color] Cybil chimed in to Matilda in between mouthfuls of fish and rice.

[hr]

Sibylla woke up a few hours later.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Sounds like a plan to me." Robin agreed with Cybil.

 

[Slenn]

"That sounds like a good idea." Agreeing with Cybil. "We also have cash. Do you think we could acquire transport?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=006d5b]"That might not be an option for me, but it can't hurt to try."[/color] Matilda said to Cybil.

 

[Silence]

Anik went near Matilda, then she ordered breakfast.

Hearing the mechanical voice, she was startled for a moment, but then decided not to comment on it for now.

Instead she said:
"Good morning everyone. I hear you want to go on? If you don't have a plan already, I have acquired some information and had a suggestion."

[hr]

Speedy found his glasses, so he started off racing down the stairs with a loud BANG, landing on Cybils head.
"Am I late? Did you eat breakfast? Do you have any breakfast left? I don't want to starve. Sorry I'm late."

 

[Drakmorg]

Cybil simply shrugged in response to EMily. [color=9f2089]"Yeah me either, but I figured it was worth mentioning."[/color] She replied to Matilda.

[color=9f2089]"Alright, let's hear it."[/color] She said as she glanced over at Anik.
She chuckled to herself as Speedy showed up and landed on her head. [color=9f2089]"Go ahead, I'm about done anyhow."[/color] She gestured to her plate, which still had a bit of rice on it.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"What's your idea?" Robin asked Anik, hearing Matilda's reservations about going on a ship.

 

[Slenn]

"I'm listening." She commented, now working on her fried rice and apple, which she was taking in at a steady pace with modesty.

Palladein area - Night​

After watching Anik walked off, Timea scoffed to herself. She half wondered why Anik had called her "Old One", but didn't think too much on it. Blowing a sigh, Timea turned back to her two followers. "That, girls, was typical human behaviour. Expect to see a lot more of it, in the future", she said bitterly, shaking her head.

Approaching Sibylla by the shark, Timea asked, "Anyway... can you feel the direction the muscle goes in?"
[hr]

Palladein area - Dawn​

Letting Sibylla sleep, Timea went to look at the cactus with Hillary. She half wanted to go off and check the mountains again, but kept off on that, not wanting to leave Sibylla to wake up alone, nor with just Hillary with her.

After, she spent time exercising with Hillary, which consisted simply of the two of them running around. When Sibylla woke up, Timea approached her. "Ah, up and about? Good morning, you~" she said cheerily, back to her usual good mood. "Did you sleep well?"

 

[Silence]

"Thank youuuu," Speedy said and jumped off Cybils head onto the plate. Instantly he began to eat.

[hr]

"I don't know how much you already know, but after you asked about magic I went to see the priest. He told me that it's forbidden because the crown prince was murdered by these "Vesh'Rah", and now the nations stand on the brink of war.

Maybe we could do something about it. Meet the other regents, of Calibeth and then Vesh, and assess the situation. I don't think the common folk would want a war, especially if there is no just cause to it."

 

[Slenn]

"Well, an assassination is always an act of aggression. But I'm up for diplomacy if that's the idea."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I like the idea, but I doubt either side would like a group of outsiders telling them what to do." Robin remarked.

OoC: Off for a while.

Night

Sibylla nodded in response to Timea. "Uh huh. Wuz a lot easier ta figure this tahm."

Day

"Sand ain't tha worst thing ah ever slept on." Sibylla groggily replied to Timea, yawning thereafter. Her snakes seemed to be enjoying the return of sunlight.

[hr]

Cybil hummed to herself as she thought over Anik's suggestion. [color=9f2089]"Depends on how receptive both parties would be to third-party negotiations, but it could work out pretty well."[/color]

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=006d5b]"It's not a bad idea."[/color] Matilda said, after taking a few moments to consider the suggestion. [color=006d5b]"But I don't think we should step in yet. We don't know enough about the countries, socially or politically. We should at least find out about that, first."[/color]

"Well that's good. Now, then. Let's make the cut, shall we?" Timea said, once more forming a talon from her hand, though this time, it was quite a bit longer, measuring some 20cm/7in in length. "You can't eat the bony parts, so you're going to need to cut around it", Timea explained, holding out the taloned hand to Sibylla for her to take. "And unlike cutting the skin, you'll want to make a quicker motion, here."
[hr]

Palladein area - day​

"That's good to hear. That you slept well, that is. Not that you've had poor sleeping arrangements, in the past", Timea said, speaking a little more softly. "Now then, you've missed the exercise routine, but we can get you caught up on that later in the day. For now, it's time for you to bathe."

Looking back to Sibylla, Timea looked towards the snakes, specifically, sharing their pleasure at receiving sunlight again. More facetiously, she said, "And you should give your snake friends a scrub, while you're at it. A dame must keep her hair in good shape, even if it is alive~!"

 

[Silence]

"Yes, diplomacy was the idea. And Robin, I think you are wrong there. I think an independent party would be especially effective as mediators.

I think it's pretty clear that Calibeth is a theocracy. With Vesh, I definitely agree that we should find out more about their system. We could find out how the people living here are, though, first. We just shouldn't take too long. I want to meet one of them demi-gods." Anik said.

"Oh, and before I forget: There is some kind of ancient evil out there in the desert. We should be careful. Taking the barge was a really good suggestion."
