We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

Cybil didn't recognize Yeagar's name, having never met him before, but noticed Robin seemed to know about him and refrained from asking questions. [color=9f2089]"Is there some kind of taboo the 'Northerners' have about shaving their heads or something? Or has the idea really just never occurred to anyone before?"[/color] She asked the guard, assuming it was pretty much a given that people in this primitive society wouldn't live long enough to naturally go bald.

"Considering the last thing we heard about them, before now, is that they were meeting with a council of clan leaders, that's the most likely scenario. They may have still managed to dissuade the council from going to war, after all. Still, it won't matter. With what Yeager has done, the balance of power has been shifted inconceivably. One power now has technology tens of generations above the rest. Conflict will happen, and likely, soon."

Scoffing, Timea changed the subject, before Anik had the chance to reply to the last comment. "Whatever the case; Since we don't know where the others went, I say we stay with out original plan, and head West, towards the mountains. We'll move along the coast, to see if I can find a polar bear to hunt, then move inland, and see if we can catch something for you. What do you think?"

 

[Silence]

Femesh Daer - Day 10 - 17:20

Anik was indeed about to respond, when Timea quickly changed subject. Recognizing this, Anik said: "Yes, this does sound good. As long as there is a path in the mountains, I at least have the right equipment with me, as well. ... It might be going slow, there, but I want to talk to Faotar as well.

I have some food in my bag, bought in the inn, but it might be good to hunt some more, as well." she added. "I did not buy too much."

"It's a religious thing, I think That's why they all have braided hair." the guard informed Cybil.

"Right. Thank you. I don't suppose you know a barber around here do you?" Robin said to the guard, then noticed Cybil's confusion. "Yeager's a merchant who makes machinery. Weapons, ships, those armour plates in Femesh Daer, objects like that. He says he makes medicine too."

"I noticed. I don't need to repeat what I think of commerce. But still, I understand why you did it. Yesterday has been an energy consuming for you", Timea replied, not sounding too judgemental about it. She was quiet for a moment, pushing herself through all the anger and frustration she was feeling, to make normal conversation. "...Speaking of the voyage, did you ask about Kaisir's relations with Eastern Vesh while you were on the ship, or did your problem keep you?"

 

[Silence]

Femesh Daer - Day 10 - 17:21

"I know ... I won't argue with you about ... taking things, but let me just buy things I would not get from hunting. Just meat ... it is not perfect for me." Anik said. She frowned when Timea spoke about her anxiety. "I ... did not ask. First I played and sang with Hillary, and then my ... problem kept me, yes. Wish it would just go away.

I did forget about these relations, but does it really matter? This is another kind of politics, isn't it? And I was never on Kaisir, the people in Ootahrana sent us away just like that ... it's not like I really care about them, to be honest."

[color=9f2089]"I see. Thank you for the information. Does that person still happen to be here? You mentioned they tried to enter the city, but didn't say much more than that."[/color] Cybil asked the guard.

[color=9f2089]"So definitely not native to this dimension then."[/color] Cybil replied to Robin. [color=9f2089]"Would there be any reason we might have to go see him?"[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Vala, day 9, 06:25
"Maybe. Anik was... For want of a better term, last time we met she was keeping an eye on him." Robin said awkwardly. "Perhaps if we find him, we can find her, but it may be a stretch."

"There's a barber in the city, yes." the guard informed Robin, before replying to Cybil. "He tried, but he wasn't allowed in, so he left."

Vala - Day 9 - 06:25

[color=9f2089]"That's not a whole lot to go on..."[/color] Cybil began saying to Robin. [color=9f2089]"But it looks like we might not have much else."[/color]

She turned her attention back to the guard and asked, [color=9f2089]"Did this person mention anything about where they were going after being denied entry?"[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Vala, day 9, 06:25
"Thank you." Robin said to the guard, msuing getting braids to fit in, then looked to Cybil. "It is a tenuous lead. Do we follow it or look for more?"

The guard shook his head, and said, "No, not as far as I'm aware."

"It's possible that this event isn't relevant to our goals, but it might be. Who can say. It's not a high priority, however. So it's not a big issue that it wasn't asked about. It's nice to hear you two had fun for a bit, however."

Western Femesh Daer Coast - Day 10 - 17:42​

Timea continued walking westward, mostly in silence, not finding herself in the mood to talk a lot, with the negative feelings swirling around in her.

When some twenty minutes away from Femesh Dear, Timea began looking for tracks, while sniffing the air. "Okay. This should be far enough away from the city to start looking. Tell me if you sense anything."

 

[Drakmorg]

Vala - Day 9 - 06:26

[color=9f2089]"Thank you sir, that's all we need."[/color] Cybil replied to the guard.

[color=9f2089]"Something tells me that we won't get much luck finding anything else, so we'll just have to make due."[/color] She answered Robin.

 

[Silence]

Western Femesh Daer Coast - Day 10 - 17:42

Also in a swirling mood of anger most of the time, not eased by feeling Timeas at the same time, Anik stayed mostly silent as well.

"Alright." she responded shortly, then started trying to figure out if some animals she sensed were big enough to satisfy Timea, at the same time listening to her surroundings, trying to distinguish these animals by sound.

Western Femesh Daer Coast - Day 10 - 17:54​

Timea moved along the coast and searched for tracks in silence, this lasting some eight minutes. After, she picked up on a set of tracks. With the half-frozen sand, these weren't very visible, but enough to tell Timea she was on to something. Following the tracks, Timea eventually slowed down, finding something traces of urine, four minutes later.

"Hmm. Do you smell that?" Timea asked Anik.

With there not being a lot of it, the answer would probably be in the negative.

 

[Silence]

Western Femesh Daer Coast - Day 10 - 17:54

Following Timea, Anik wondered what a polar bear even sounded like, but hearing nothing that would even resemble something like it, she kept on moving in silence. When Timea slowed down, Anik sniffed, trying to find a scent. Not knowing which kind of scent, she shook her head, and answered: "I don't know what you mean. Did you find something?"

"I did. I found some pee.", Timea answered, tapping a foot on the ground near the traces. "Such things can help you learn more about your prey. In this case, the pee is no longer warm, but still liquid, meaning that whatever left it shouldn't be too far away. There also isn't a great deal of it, but still too much to have come from a small animal. Meaning that the animal either is of medium size, or is large, but hasn't hydrated enough."

 

[Silence]

Western Femesh Daer Coast - Day 10 - 17:54

"Pee?" Anik asked, first grimacing, then realizing how it could help to track prey. She sniffed again, trying to make it out. "I don't really know if I can smell it ... maybe, if I am used to differentiating it from the different smells." she stated. She smiled. "Yes, I understand. I'm ... I'm not sure if I could learn the difference of how much there is just by smell, but I guess it is something to go on.

... I also sense some hearts in the distance, but I don't know to what they belong. Would there be something else I could go on, as well?"
