We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[FPSfanatic]

Jack sighed, looking tired. "And I suppose you were an adventurous sort, wandering the world and seeing many. Wonderful. Guess that means I'm really far from home. Boats go really far out? Might be on a different continent or something like it." Jack glanced over to the plain woman with the hook hand. "Alright, so I'm counting 6 folks here who don't seem to be from around here. Unless the lady with the hook for the hand is a local, little hard to tell. If you're willing to point me towards a major port, I'll be happy to get out of your hair. Pay me a pittance and I'll drag away some of the folks here too. It'll cost extra if they aren't willing though, just a warning."

Aquamarine circled around the group to Topaz, staying just outside the crowd so as to avoid having anyone behind her. "You were here before me. Who are these people? Why are we here? She asked Topaz, although anyone else could have heard.

"I dunno. I wasn't really paying attention." He said casually, eliciting a frustrated sigh from Aqua.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The old man nodded this time. "We Kaisiri spend most of our lives on ships. Either trading or pirating, or both if times are hard. The boats go quite far out, yes, but I don't doubt there are still unexplored areas of the world." he explained. He looked over at the hook-handed woman, then said, "She's not a native, but she's not a new arrival."

"I can see a ship out there." Robin chipped in to Jack and the Old Man's conversation. "White sails. I presume it's one of yours."

 

[Demonjazz]

Heno wrapped his huge arm around Aquamarine's shoulder. He returned to his much louder way of speaking. "That is the spirit! Everyone big hero at heart, eh? You will help in crime crusade right we one big happy family, ya! We travel land, and beat crimenals up!"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Yeah, that'll be a trade ship. Not an uncommon sight along the coast." the old man replied.

 

[Kirke]

You give the boy a light kick, enough to hurt a bit, but not do any real damage. Hearing the old man mention you, you look over questioningly.

 

[username sucks]

As soon as Heno touched her, Aqua punched him in the gut and attempted to push him away with enough force to send an average person about 20 feet back. "I don't know you. Don't touch me."

 

[FPSfanatic]

Jack looked to the lady with the hook. "Okay, someone from somewhere you know, or somewhere you don't? You know what, excuse me, I'm going to ask her myself." realizing he was being somewhat impolite, he walked over to this woman and casually asked "So the older guy suggested you aren't from around here. Is that like whats going on with us, or did you come from next country over?"

Jack glanced over to Aquamarine and the Lawman, but decided that making a lawman or an annoyed mother angry with him was a bad plan.

 

[Kirke]

[color=0066cc]"I believe it is the former, but I don't think you realize quite what that means."[/color], you say before pausing briefly. [color=0066cc]"My name is Shara, and I'm not from this world. I'd wager you're not either."[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Not from this world?" Robin asked in shock.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Jack stared for about 30 seconds, his face maintaining a neutral expression. He slowly sat down and pulled off his hat, revealing a balding head. "oh. Fuck sticks. so, everything I knew? The screaming walls, bladehenge, the badlands. All the music, all the arseholes and all my friends. Thats just somewhere else. And you haven't figured out how to get back, unless you prefer it here. Do you just prefer it here?"

 

[Demonjazz]

Heno doubled over slightly when punched, Aquamarine would notice that his skin seemed much more solid than what one would except a human to have, it was a bit like punching a rather solid, and stubborn rock. "That was impressive blow, friend! Haven't had man been able to hurt iron skin in some time. How about another punch, eh? Was not ready that time, no time to properly tense muscles, and balance chi."

 

[username sucks]

Aqua was taken aback when her attack had little effect. "What are you?!" She shouted, pulling her hand back for another strike, although her fist was glowing this time. "GET BACK! she yelled as she delivered a much harder punch, releasing a shockwave as her fist made impact with Heno's gut.

Topaz, meanwhile, leaned against a nearby house and watched.

 

[Kirke]

You pointedly raise your left arm, waving the hook slightly. [color=0066cc]"I lost this just before I got here. Between recovering and having to make a living, I haven't had time to look around.[/color] Lowering your arm, you glance down and give the boy in uniform another kick, slightly harder this time. You wonder to yourself if there really is a way back and not for the first time, you long back to the journeys between the stars you so love.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The old man slowly walked over to Topaz, glancing in Aquamarine and Heno's direction. "I'd like you to stop your friend fighting, please. The people need their sleep." he said.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin didn't really know what to say, but jumped when he heard Aqua and the large man fighting, whipping around to see it.

 

[username sucks]

"She'll stop as soon as he steps away. [sub]She isn't really a people person...[/sub]" Topaz whispered to the old man.

 

[FPSfanatic]

Jack glanced over to the people fighting. "Well, guess I don't have to worry about the people I owed money too. And hey, the folks probably don't know the usual scams. That'll be useful."

He stood, pulling his stiff hat back onto his head. "Alright Shara, lets get these idiots to stop fighting. Then we can all go a ways from the village and you can give us a nice run down of local customs and currency and such. So we can avoid getting all angry with each other. Sound good?"

 

[Kirke]

You nod, but noting the power in the punches going around, you wryly ask if he feels up for stepping in between the two.
