We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[Silence]

"Well, it always depends on the battleground." Anik said in response to Sally. "And yes, I could throw the swords. But I'm not really one for targetting, you know. I rather close the distance quickly, my way."

Then she added, because she just thought of something, to Comet: "Comet, do you like tattoos?"

Timea would be able to track down a few small rabbits, after a while of searching. Looking at tracks, she would see a number of human footprints in the dirt, generally moving in the same direction as the animal tracks.

[color=006d5b]"You live in a wasteland? That sounds pretty terrible."[/color] Matilda said to Sally.

 

[Wackymon]

"Oh!" she said, surprised, "Thank you."
She contined lying back, idly twirling your thumbs together.
"You wouldn't happen to know how to put a brain back together, would you?"

Sally chuckled at Cybil, "Yeah, I suppose it must be. I bet your ration size is twice as large as my Vaults." she said, chuckling with a heavy heart.

Sally nodded, "Yeah, that makes sense. Hey- How do you deal with folks in power armor, then? Can you? Usually I just use a Ripper and wait for them to move around the corner, but if you have any way, that'd be nice to learn." she said.

She looks at Matilda, "Yeah, it's not that great- Super-Mutants, cannibalistic raiders and such, she said, idly pulling out a sniper-rifle, "Not to mention the lack of non-irradiated water. But it's getting better- I've been working on it. I've done a bit of work, supporting the brotherhood of steel's water-lines, did a bit of teaching folks how to defend themselves from Super-mutants- Helped a friend write a book, the Wasteland Survival Guide, to help folks protect themselves, and, hell, even figured out where most of the Super-Mutants come from, so the Brotherhood of Steel will probably deal with most of them at some point. she said, smiling, "And I got my dad's water-purifier online, so, in a couple years, the capital wasteland will be as green as in those old pre-war books." she said, a smile crossing her face, as she thought of a better future.

She looked at everyone "Oh, look at me, rambling about things you all don't really know what they are." she said, chuckling, "I don't suppose you all want a history lesson over some Nuka-Cola, do you?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=006d5b]"We've got some time to kill. May as well."[/color] Matilda replied. [color=006d5b]"So... you mentioned a war. Is that what turned everything into a wasteland?"[/color]

 

[Silence]

"Well, since I never met someone in this power armor, I don't think I know a particular trick. But it sounds like it is very heavy - so I suppose I would wait for the person to take it off, before kill- fighting them."

Speedy, le sci-fi hamster, got interested in the history lesson:
"Your world sounds like the human times of my world before all of them got eaten by monsters. There are very few history books about that time. What's Nuka Cola?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Sorry, I can't do healing magic.".

 

[Drakmorg]

Sibylla followed along with Timea, not contributing much to the hunting proceedings as she had no idea how to. "Ah, yeh, real venomous. Anutha reason why folks dun really want me around most'a tha time."
Sibylla's snakes would alert Sibylla to any obvious sign of anything they would normally eat.

[hr]

[color=9f2089]"What's a 'ration'?"[/color] Cybil simply replied to Sally. She slumped against a wall and slowly slid down to the ground as she listened to Sally describe her homeland. [color=9f2089]"Yeah, that's about what I was expecting, pretty much the worst thing I've ever heard..."[/color]

 

[Wackymon]

"Alright... So... No comment on that? None at all?" she said, surprised, "Someone cut out part of my brain. And- Well, I suppose it would be mundane, Mister Wizard-man." she half-heartedly joked.

She looks at Crimea, "You know- The ammount of food your given each week?" she said. "Eh, it could get worse. Eden could have poisoned the river."

"Indeed. The great war, according to my History Textbooks, lasted five minutes- Those who were lucky, locked themselves away in Vaults, deep underground. Two great powers of the Old World had declared war, and rained nuclear fire upon the earth- This fire salted the land, and burned nearly everything that remained away. Some survived, but most of the world died that day. Many of those who survived survived in a Vault, basically large underground cities, where they lived and survived."[/color]
She looks out into the greenery, "I was raised in one of those things. It was a nice experience- Work, practice, lots of books..."
A sigh. "Point is- The earth burned alive, on the day the bombs fell- Most died, some survived. Some group, claims to be the remnants of the Old World Government- And they might have been Expirimented with a virus, called the Forced Evolution Virus. Basically- Causes you to evolve stupidly rapidly- Turned most folks under it's effects into either four legged tentecal beasts, or giant, monstrous versions of themselves. We refer to them as Super-Mutants." she said.
"Not many great places in the Wasteland- Working on making them better, though. And, not long after the war, some survived, began to re-build society. And- Well, society is growing, nowadays. The brotherhood of steel is basically a group of folks in power armor- Were sent there from out west to the DC ruins to grab tech, but instead, they help folks in the DC wasteland- Fight off raiders and super-mut-"
She looks at the talking hamster.
"What."

 

[Chungus]

"Well, that's not all that hard to understand. No one would be particularly keen on getting a helping of venom in their system. But things are just dandy so long as some respect is shown, isn't that right, boys~?" Timea responded, facetiously directing the last bit of her response towards the snakes.

Noting the trail of rabbit tracks, Timea stopped for a moment, looking where the tracks lead and sniffing the air two times more, then looking to Sibylla. "Do you notice anything different, there?" she asked, motioning over the general area the tracks were in with a sweeping motion of her arm, wanting to see if Sibylla would notice the tracks before pointing them out.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"You... You're missing part of your brain?!" Robin looked panicked and a little grossed out.

 

[Silence]

"Why are you looking this way. Have you never seen a talking hamster before? Maybe these super mutants are the monsters. Did they eat your brain? Also, what's Nuka Cola?" the hamster said.

 

[Wackymon]

"Yeah- You know how, last time I was here, I was talking about how I was going to point lookout?"
She gestures to the water, "Well guess where I fell to when I last fell into the water. Point-lookout. Ended up, being drunk and all, agreeing to join a tribe to help a ghoul get revenge on this brain in a jar. The intiation ceramony requires being lobotomized. I'm lucky I'm still sane." she said, quite bluntly. "On the bright side, I still have it in my pack- Maybe one day I'll figure out how to slip it back into my skull safely." she said idly, "Why else would I ask you how to put a brain back together?" she said, "Not many people are brain-surgeons."

She just stares blankly at the hamster.
"No, I haven't, yes they're mostly monsters, but made from people, they didn't eat my brain, I was lobotomized, and Nuka-Cola is a soda." she said, just staring blankly.

Topaz fell asleep and started to snore after listening to Sally for so long.

[color=66CCFF]"Humanity ruined it's own planet where you're from?"[/color] Aquamarine asked Sally. [color=66CCFF]"I can't say I'm surprised."[/color]

Alain turned around to watch what Shara was doing, but didn't follow her or try to get involved in the argument.

 

[Silence]

"You're weird. How do you even walk without a brain? Do you have technology? Stuff that explodes? Also, what's a soda?" Speedy said, staring right back at Sally through his glasses.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"You were lobotomised... and are carrying around a part of your brain... in your backpack..." Robin worked through it. He pulled out the book of miracles absentmindedly.

 

[Drakmorg]

Sibylla's snakes didn't show much of reaction to Timea's statement. Her snakes scoped the area, flicking out their tongues at a greater rate than usual to pick up on animal scents.
Sibylla followed the motion of Timea's had towards the ground, but seemed to fail to notice anything, as she reponded, "Naw, there's nuthin' movin' 'round there."

[hr]

[color=9f2089]"I'm just gonna... be in here if anyone needs me."[/color] Cybil said to everyone as she went back in the boat, not at all wanting to hear Sally keep talking about how terrible everything in her home was.

 

[Wackymon]

"Yeah- I was on my way home to keep it there safe- Until I landed on this boat again." she said, "Either way, it's safe in a jar. I can show it to you, if you'd like." she said, looking over his shoulder at his book of miracles.

She sighed at Speedy, "My brain's still functional, it's just that part of it is missing. Yes, I have tech, yes, some of it explodes, and just have a Nuka-cola." she said, handing the cola to Speedy.

 

[Silence]

The bottle was a little too big for Speedy, so he tried to take it with both paws, but could not really do more than hold it.
"Halp." he said, thinking about how he rather wanted to see some tech.

[color=446ccf]"So, you mentioned that you can control the elements, but you seem to be a normal human, and I can't see any spirits hanging around you."[/color] Rebecca said to Alain. [color=446ccf]"Feel like explaining how you managed to get these powers?"[/color]

[color=006d5b]"That sounds... absolutely terrible."[/color] Matilda commented.

 

[Chungus]

"No? Look over here." As she spoke, Timea crouched down, besides the tracks, and motioning over them with a more specific sweeping gesture. "Tracks left by a small animal. A... kind of rodent, maybe", she pointed out, then rose to her full height again, and began to follow the tracks. "There are also human footprints. Maybe other hunters? If we're quick, we might be able to beat them to the prey."

With that said, Timea continued following the tracks, sniffing the air to try and catch a scent. "When catching a prey, I suggest not using venom to kill it, unless it's really big. I don't know exactly how the exchange between your snakes and yourself go, but I expect that when using venom, your body will expend energy getting it back. So it would be more efficient killing it with your bare hands."
