We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[Silence]

After Timea had talked, Anik said:

"Huh? A naive, incredibly old, being. Who would have thought that possible.

But you might be surprised, I know the gravity of life quite well. It's not just some body you leave, it's - silence. And a hole left in the world, where a thing was connected to its surroundings, all ties are severed.
That is why you were wrong about my plans, that I wanted to assassinate the regent. As I said before, I don't act on some fancy.

And to be honest, I don't understand you. At our first meeting, you scoffed at me, because I did things for others. Now you scoff at me, because you think I do stuff just for myself.
You have preconceptions about me, because you think I am just like the other humans you met. But most don't even choose what they want, they just corrupt themselves, others, and the land with their baseless instincts. I search for an escape."

As she was taken out of the temple, Anik asked:

"Where are you taking me?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Sibylla decided to go off and look for plants while waiting for Timea. She'd know if she had found one if she came within 30 feet of any.

[hr]

Since she apparently wasn't needed anymore, Cybil went to go help Heno get enough good and water for the trip.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Homer was still recovering in the tavern.

Jane had wandered off, looking for flowers that might be in the area.

 

[Kirke]

You shrug, still not convinced but willing to trust Robin's judgement. [color=0066cc]"Alright then, but only if it does not cost too much."[/color] - You say, with scepticism clearly showing in your voice.

 

[Silence]

While the others were looking for weapons and stuff, Speedy futily looked around for anything High-Tech, while still sitting on Cybils head.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Sibylla and Jane would both find it pretty much impossible to not be near any sort of flower, tree or other plant in the city.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Jane would begin picking an assortment, trying to get one of each flower she found and looking them all over closely.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: @Drak: @Demon's not here tonight. Might wanna stick with us, @Furi or @Outis.

Robin turned to the smith. "How much for a crossbow and some bolts?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"I don't make crossbows, or bolts." the smith stated.

 

[Chungus]

At her being called naive, Timea just scoffed, not bothering to respond to it, otherwise.

Her demeanour did change somewhat as Anik continued to speak, her breathing slowing down, but in a less strained way then the times she tried to keep herself from becoming too angry. "So you understand that much. I didn't expect it", she stated, and said nothing else on the matter, for now.

"Last night, I berated you for forcing your sense of right and wrong on others, and that was heartfelt. I said it then, and I would say it again. I also called you a tool of another, but that was anger talking. After that, anything that even remotely didn't sit right with me was blown out of proportion", Timea explained as she walked, occasionally stopping to sniff the air for Sibylla's scent. "If I could go back and do things over, it would be that. But make no mistake, it would be that, and only that."

When asked where she was taking Anik, Timea stopped momentarily, answering, "We were told that we're supposed to settle this amongst ourselves, and that's what we're going to do", she began, then continued walking, heading towards the market place, and getting in sight of it. "As someone who believes in the proper responding to actions that one doesn't like, or - ahem - justice, what do you think that will be?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"...oh. Is there anyone here that does?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

As Timea approached the market, she would see Matilda, who was attempting to find a belt for her sword, by asking the stall owners.

[hr]

"Nobody in the city. We don't really need them around here." the smith replied. "Other than the guards, but they don't sell them."

 

[Furioso]

Yeager was still in the Inn.

OOC: Not actually sure who else is in the Inn

 

[Kirke]

[color=0066cc]"Well then,"[/color] - You say, quietly relieved; [color=0066cc]"I will just have to make do. Let's get going, shall we?"[/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

Sibylla would try and find a secluded spot, where she didn't notice anyone moving within 10 meters of her.

[hr]

Cybil didn't go do that thing I guess.

 

[Silence]

As they neared the marketplace, Anik felt Matilda.

"I don't know what you had in mind. But an opportunity just appeared.

Let's give my talk a name, shall we? Justice will decide if I was wrong or I was right. If I was wrong, I will do nearly anything you ask, without hesitation. If I was right, I don't owe you anything.

MATILDA!" she called.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Alright." Robbin agreed, ready to head out.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Matilda jumped a little as Anik called her name. [color=006d5b]"What's wrong?"[/color] she called back, turning away from the stall owner she had been talking to.

[hr]

Sibylla would be able to find such a place, in the shade of a peach tree, with no nearby foot traffic.

 

[Chungus]

Walking around the market place, Timea sniffed the air more, picking up other scents she knew. Shortly after Anik's proposal, Timea stopped walking, looking towards Anik. "An independent source to hear the case, that's coincidently what I had in mind, too", she stated, sniffing the air more, looking towards the general direction of the scents of the people she recognised. "So we agree on that. Mostly. If you get to choose your judge, I will, too." With that said, Timea let go of Anik's shoulder. She momentarily considered telling Anik not to run off, but decided against it, not too worried about it, even if Anik did so.

Walking forward, Timea approached Sibylla further, slowing down as she neared Shara. "Ah, dame I never learned the name of!" she called out, a bit awkwardly in addressing Shara without knowing her name. "What are the chances. If you have a moment, I could use your help with something."

 

[Silence]

"I need your help!" Anik responded. "Can you come to us?"
