We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[Furioso]

Timea would find that Yeager actually smelled quite nice for someone who had spent a lot of time in a factory.
"Charmed to meet you Timea. Ja, this place is only a few days old. You'd be amazed how fast people can work if you pay them vell enough."

Noting there was nothing inhuman about Yeager's scent, Timea wondered if Anik was wrong on something, if she was missing something, or if the name was just a strange coincidence.

"And the new walls were also built by your firm, I assume?" Timea said, looking to the side, at the walls. She phrased the sentence more like a statement than an actual question. She looked back to Yeager, then asked, "What kind of firm is this, actually? All things considered, things have the look of a private military to it."

In the moment she looked to the side, Timea caught a glimpse of Quan Chi standing behind her. And although she didn't look over her shoulder to confirm it, couldn't help but feel like she was being watched.

 

[Furioso]

Yeager nodded to the wall statement, then replied "Private army? Nein, this is all for the defense of this city. I've been appointed to keep it protected from possible invasion."

Quan Chi noticed Timea looking at him, and figured it would be better to approach than keep staring or leave. He waved Shara over as he walked. "Forgive me. I did not mean to intrude. I am as curious regarding this man and his works as you are." he told Timea.

You feel the silent order to approach, and you follow it reluctantly. With your arms folded across your chest, you position yourself behind and to the side of Quan Chi. The position, you note to yourself, gives you an excellent field of fire on all three in front of you. You try to shake this thought off as you observe the discussion.

"Ah, I see", Timea said, thinking this answered why the Red Eyes smelled like a normal Calibethian. "But, all of this sounds like ever the long term plan. I suppose you wouldn't know how to go back to your own, then? Obviously, you're a stranger to this one", she asked, hoping she might learn something new about the displacing of people, although didn't expect much. Shortly after asking, she let out a soft, fake but natural-sounding chuckle, and added, "... And what does "nein" mean? You didn't mean the number, ye--"

As approached, Timea cut her sentence off, and looked to him, saying, "it's no trouble, as far as I'm concerned." When Shara approached shortly after, Timea turned her her eyes to her, looking taken aback to see the state Shara's face was in. This didn't last long, until it was drawn to something else - Shara's arm, where there used to be a hook.

Quan Chi noticed Timea examining Shara. "This is my assistant, Shara." he explained.

 

[Furioso]

Yeager sighed "Nein means no. And no I don't know how to get back, otherwise I vould have a long time ago." he replied before looking behind her at Quan Chi and Shara. When he saw Shara Yeager at first looked confused, and then angry. "...And vhat exactly did you do to your assistant?"

[color=0066cc]"That's one way to put it."[/color] - You mutter before replying with a quick [color=0066cc]"Hi."[/color] to Timea. You then look over at Yeager and say; [color=0066cc]"And hello to you too."[/color]

Femesh Daer - Day 9 - 21:43​

Looking away from Shara, and back to Yeager, Timea answered, "Ah, noted."

With Yeager addressing Quan Chi, Timea didn't ask him more questions, for the time being, instead fully turning around to face Quan Chi, saying, "we've met." Finally learning Shara's name, Timea thought it was funny she only now learned it, but didn't think too much on this.

Looking to Shara, Timea looked on with a look of mild confusion, asking, "Hello again. What ever happened to your face? ... And how did you get your arm back?"

Hearing what Shara muttered after Quan Chi spoke, Timea grew somewhat suspicious, finding the situation sketchy.

"No, you don't feel wrong, Hillary. But it feels wrong to eat parts of you. For me." Anik explained, not quite sure if she could even explain this feeling.

When Hillary was surprised by her own loss of hair, Anik began getting more confused as well. "So ... this is not normal? Or is it normal? Hillary, I don't understand. But if you had longer hair before ..." She felt the ground near Hillary as well, wondering if there were some bread Hillary parts or something, not finding anything. "Well, it does not seem on the ground, unless you can see it. When you were wood, what hair did you have then?"

[color=0066cc]"According to him"[/color] You reply, indicating to Quan Chi before continuing in a very bitter tone; [color=0066cc]"I have been 'improved'. Restoring my body and easing my mind."[/color] You pause for a moment then add; [color=0066cc]"I haven't had the chance to look in a mirror lately, how bad is it?"[/color]

"It was necessary to heal her, I'm afraid." Quan Chi told Yeager, then looked to Timea. "Ah, I see. Nice to meet you, madam."

 

[Furioso]

"Oh vas it now? Last time I saw here she was fine and well in a cozy cell." said Yeager.

"Frankly--", Timea began, casting a short sideways glance to Quan Chi, and giving a small nod as he spoke. "--you look terrible. Your skin is as white as snow, and your veins; they give off light. ...As do your eyes, they glow, like mine." Recounting what Shara looked like, Timea also noted her skin seemed to be almost entirely free of absorbed UV rays.

She would be more open to the explanation Quan Chi gave, if not for what Shara said, and how she said it. But with this, Timea began to suspect Shara had been affected magically in some way, though she couldn't come up with a reason why Shara seemed to go along with Quan Chi, eventually on settling on thinking she might be blackmailed into it. Although fuelled by her hatred of magic more than anything else, she decided to try and find out what was afoot. "Hmm. While your employer is talking to this sir, here--" she began, motioning to Yeager, without turning around. "--shall we take a short walk?"

"I made an arrangement. She works for me now, and in return I gave her back her arm. " Quan told Yeager, technically not lying. He looked at Timea and Shara, noting what the lizard woman had said. This was a delicate situation: he couldn't just stop her because that would be too blatant, but letting them talk freely could be problematic. He eventually struck on a middle ground, telling Shara "Don't go too far.", intending to keep them within earshot at least.

After a glance at Quan Shi and receiving permission from him, permission you hate yourself for needing, you nod to Timea. [color=0066cc]"Lead the way. Though, not too far away apparently."[/color] - As you speak, a thought strikes you. [color=0066cc]How far is too far? Personally, I'd say the end of the world would not be far enough. I guess I'll be stopped when it happens."[/color]

Femesh Daer - Day 9 - 21:44​

With both Shara and Quan Chi agreeing, Timea began walking away from Yeager's workshop, moving closer to town, walking at a leisurely pace. "So... let's start at the beginning. The foreman said he saw you in a cell?" she decided to start the questioning with, not far enough away from Quan Chi to ask about anything else without interference. "Why did you end up, there?"

 

[Furioso]

Yeager appeared none too thrilled about being left alone with Quan Chi, but kept a level head. "Vell then, vhat vould you like to discuss, Mr....?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Quan Chi." he introduced himself. "I noticed your designs and metals around the city. Out of place, are they not?"
