[color=0066cc]"Yeah, I'll have a look at the market tomorrow."[/color], You say as your arm finally seems to return to normal. After looking at it absent-mindedly for a moment you decide to get some exercise, and you mumble as much before getting started. You lie down on the floor and begin with some sit-ups.

Vala Area
After a few moments, the T-800 approached from the side of the road. "Have you made any progress?" - It asked, not bothering with pleasantries.

 

[Furioso]

"Right, anything interesting to see around here?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Cybil was too busy getting beaten to death or sold into slavery by guards because they knew they could get away with it or suffering some other grotesque fate to do anything else.

[hr]

Sibylla froze to death like six hours ago and nobody even noticed.

 

[Slenn]

"Jane, Homer, should we head to the residential district to try and find Ultron and Yeager?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Obviously. I'll show those bastards what a threat is." Jane said in response to Emily.

 

[Silence]

Vala - Day 2 - 22:05

Speedy sat on Robins shoulder as they were brought to Ana.

Vala - Day 2 - 22:15

Since the swords were done by the time Anik arrived, she would thank the smith and ask him what he wanted as payment. If he wanted gold or silver, she would pay him, then take the swords back on her back, and head to the northern part of town again. Approaching the gate, she said to the guards:
"Greetings. I have to talk to Robin, the one I was with when we were brought here before. He should be with a person called Ana right now."

Vala Area - Day 1 - 18:00​

[i]Oh, hi. Yes, I'm fine, thanks! Puppets... .[/i]

"Not yet, no. They're still picking up the pieces after the ruckus you caused"

, Ultron answered.

"No one seems to be sure when the higher ups will be ready to see me, either. It could take another day or three before things get moving along. I'll keep asking, but no guarantees on when things start to move along."

After explaining, Ultron turned to the Terminator.

"In the mean time. If you haven't already, maybe you can sweep what's left of the Capital; see if there is anything worth salvaging?"

Village, church - Day 2 - 19:21​

Seeing nothing on either subjects, Timea ran a hand through her hair. "My, oh my... this isn't going very well, is it?" she commented, partially speaking to herself. Blowing a soft sight, Timea looked if there was anything on conflicts between gods.

 

[Slenn]

"Jane, this whole conflict started because we had guns pointed at him. Ultron is probably a tad paranoid. So let's not do anything aggressive, alright?" She marched her way out to the residential district.

Robin and Speedy would find Ana sitting at a desk, writing notes in a tome. If they hadn't already been told it, they might not realise she was a prisoner.

[hr]

"They'll be on the second floor of the eastern building, then." the guard stated.

[hr]

[color=006d5b]"I'll come too, to make sure Jane doesn't make the situation worse."[/color] Matilda said.

"Nothing in particular comes to mind." the innkeeper said.

Rebecca sat down on the bed, watching Shara exercise. [color=446ccf]"So, do you not have mechanical prostheses where you're from?"[/color] she asked.

[hr]

Village

Since the books only mentioned one deity, there would obviously be no mention of any conflict between other gods.

Hillary would have grabbed a couple books herself and sat down as she fumbled with them, holding it to one side as the pages flipped open. She'd give the pages a scan, and would flip through a couple, stopping if there were pictures on the page, but otherwise wouldn't really stop flipping. She would investigate one of the walls of the temple that might look interesting instead after a while, seemingly giving up on the book.

"It's not?" Hillary spoke up, moving from the wall of various whatever's were on the temple sides, and moved closer to Timea. "Can I help?" Hillary asked Timea, standing beside her and looking up at the current book Timea had on her.

Robin gave Ana a small wave. "Hello there. Ana, right? A friend of mine told me about you."

 

[Silence]

Vala - Day 2 - 22:05

"Ana! I brought a friend! He wants to learn about sorcery. ... But I'm sorry you are a prisoner. I did not know that!" Speedy exclaimed as they met with Ana.

Vala - Day 2 - 22:15

"Thank you." Anik said and went into the eastern direction. She had a bit of trouble finding the entrance without using echolocation, but did, after all, find it.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"We can't let him get away with getting us arrested." Jane argued as she abd Homer followed Emily.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Ana looked at Speedy, then at the guard, and asked, "Which one of those two was it?" Upon hearing Speedy's statement, she said, "Well, that answers that question."

[hr]

Anik, though she wouldn't know it, would be in the library. One of the guards who had arrested her was nearby, and approached her. "Do you need help finding your way around?" she asked.

[hr]

[color=006d5b]"Well, in his defence, he wasn't totally making it up."[/color] Matilda countered, also following EMily. After some time navigating the streets, they would find the residential area. One of the guards had escorted them up to Yeager's home, and waited nearby.

[hr]

Village

Hillary would find that some of the books did, indeed, have drawings in them, being visual representations of the various body-modifying rituals. These rituals ranged from carving arcane symbols into one's own body, to removing the eyes.

"Good. Our objectives and actions will be masked by the chaos. With continued sporadic attacks at strategically important points it is less likely that they will be able to mount a coordinated response to stop us." - The T-800 said before evaluating Ultron's suggestion. "Calibeth City could be a useful source of resources and equipment, but we have nowhere to put it. We need a base of operations, preferably somewhere isolated and inconspicuous. There is a mountain-chain to the south, there might be a suitable location there."

[color=0066cc]"There are,"[/color] - You say, waiting until you're finished with your sit-ups before replying further; [color=0066cc]"But I lost my arm when I got here. I know there are more advanced available far to the north, but I've been unable to make the journey until now."[/color]

Vala, Yeager's house - Day 2 - 22:05​

After another day of not having been able to meet with those in command, Ultron was at Yeager's home, helping him with whatever he needed helping with.
[hr]

Village, church - Day 2 - 19:21​

"Sadly, no. Everything in the books I've looked through don't say anything useful. The only thing that could me is a ritual that would require some form of self-mutilation. That won't be happening", Timea explained. Seeing nothing on other gods, Timea took a break from looking at the covers, looking down to Hillary. "How is your search going?"

 

[Furioso]

Vala
Yeager would have Ultron help with bringing him/producing lots of metal.

Femesh Daer
Yeager thanked the innkeeper, and rented a room to stay in for now to wait.

"Mountains - the perfect lair, after volcanoes and lunar bases"

, Ultron joked, then nodded.

"Yeah, that'll do. As for attacks... ."

It trailed off for a moment, going over T-800's suggestion.

"Why not. I don't mind breaking a few eggs, here and there. Stirring up more trouble will make the people more likely to give in to my idea, when they'll finally meet with me. There's a limit to what counts as acceptable losses, though.

What could also be an issue is generating [i]too[/i] much distrust. If people get too afraid of machines, that'll throw a wrench in the works. ...You looked like a human before? Could you make another disguise like that?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin sat down, if there was a chair available, putting Speedy on the table and holding out his hand. "I'm Robin. Sorry we had to meet like this."

 

[Zepherus14]

"There were funny pictures in some of the books I got, but a lot of it was just squiggly stuff all lined up in rows." Hillary lamented, finding her books lacking. "One person poked themself in the eye in one... I didn't get it at all."

If there was anything of interest on the wall other than bricks, I'd love to know. Likewise if there was anything shiny Hillary might be inclined to focus on it more.
