We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

"I need this restored or replaced, with the same fit and size it used to have. Or a spare." Robin requested.

Timea would see that the hole led to a room with walls and a floor made of concrete, so it stood to reason it would support her weight.

Once they had gone through the hole, Timea would see a woman standing nearby, operating some sort of electrical console. The console was connected by wires to a large metallic circle behind them, roughly 4 meters in diameter, through which they could see a hole leading back to where had just came from. She looked up once they had entered, smiling and waving. She looked striking similar to Cybil, having the same hair color, ears, tail, and incredibly similar facial features, though her's were slightly softer in comparison to Cybil, and she was clearly much older, looking to be around middling age. The woman introduced herself to Anik, Timea, and Hillary as Cybil's mother.

Cybil's mother fiddled with the controls on the console again, and after a moment the view through the metal circle shimmered and warped, after which Cybil stepped through and casually waved to everyone present. Pressing another control on the console, Cybil's mother shut down the device, causing the circle to go dormant, and only show the opposite wall of the cellar were one to look through it.

After introductions were done, Cybil's mother explained that all she wanted was for Timea, Anik, and Hillary to detail all their interactions with the Gods they had met on the previous plane. After which, she would be more than happy to send them to any random destination they wanted. And after they complied, she did.

Stepping through the portal and entering the room, Timea glanced around. Although she didn't show it - seeing the electronic nature of the portal, Timea immediately disliked it, but consoled herself with the fact the if she soon wouldn't have to deal with anything of the sort, ever again.

Once Cybil's mother explained what she wanted to know, Timea wondered what would be done with the information, Timea asked if the feline actually knew a warm planet that had abundant life, but otherwise was completely uninhabited by people. When this was confirmed, Timea agreed to the terms, and explained everything about the gods she had learned over the course of her journey. Even if couldn't help but feel the information would result in things she would disapprove of.

When the information was relayed to the feline, Hillary was the first to be send off.

Timea and Anik gave their goodbyes to the girl, Timea nuzzled Hillary, and although it felt odd for her to do so, gave Hillary a hug, as well. Then, the girl stepped through the portal, and returned to her own world. Timea watched Hillary step through the portal with bated breath, but much to her relief, Timea could see it all turned out all right. A last few words of farewell were given, before the portal was changed to a destination of Anik's choosing.

Timea turned towards Anik, and snapped her fingers, firmly nuzzling Anik, and giving her a fairly tight hug, also. "Well. This is it", she said, after about a minute. Her voice was soft, and a little shaky. She had gotten quite emotional saying the farewell, and although she was physically incapable of shedding tears, did cry. "... Anik, I wish you the best of luck, where ever you may go."

Slowly, she stopped nuzzling, and let go of Anik, placing her forehead on top of Anik's. "Goodbye, my friend. I'll never forget you."

With this said, Timea raised her head, and stepped back.

"I can do that, then." the smith told Robin, as he took the armour. Since Robin was working with the military, he wouldn't have to pay anything.

"I will." Maribeth stated, before she and the guards parted ways with Yeager for the night.

Even though feeling quite intimidated by the unfamiliar noises around her, Anik felt some sympathy for Cybil's mother, as she had a certain familiarity to her. She willingly answered all her questions, not knowing how their answers might be used, but feeling like they were in good hands.

Not being sure about where to go, Anik finally said she wanted to go to someplace warm, on the world Timea came from, as she could learn about technology there. And then hopefully find a quiet place in a small community.

As Hillary was about to be sent off, Anik hugged her for about two minutes, crying a lot, but being very happy for Hillary as well, even though slightly anxious. As Timea explained that Hillary's world was alright, after she stepped through, Anik waved to Hillary, with a big smile, even though her face was a mess.

As the portal was changed to the most unsure destination of all, Anik stood there, doubting herself, as Timea nuzzled her neck firmly, and even gave her a firm hug, making her feel slightly better about the path she had chosen. Being nuzzled, Anik rubbed her head heavily on Timeas, as she was hugged, Anik hugged back tightly, and as it broke off, Anik nuzzled Timeas neck one last time, as well. She still cried while doing this, though she did not care anymore about how it was perceived. Being given several tissues, she at least could wipe the tears off.

Timea wished her luck, and Anik could just whisper: "I wish you good luck as well. Good hunting. And peace."

With Timea stepping back, and saying goodbye, Anik bid her farewell as well: "I never felt about someone like I have about you. You are the first person I could ever truly call a friend. I'll ..." she sobbed and sniffed, before being able to continue. "I'll forget you even less! Never is too small a word. I love you, Timea, as much as friends can love each other.
... Goodbye."

She felt for and stroke Timeas arm for one last touch, then turned, feeling around her bag if she had all things, and stepped forwards, through the portal, into the unknown.

"Goodbye!" Timea exclaimed through the portal, deep magenta and blue colourings covering her forehead and cheeks.

When the portal closed, Timea stood where she was, staring at the concrete wall, until the destination of Timea's choosing. Taking a few seconds to recompose herself. She then turned around and thanked Cybil and her mother, before turning back to the portal, taking a breath, and stepping through.

On the other side, Timea surveyed the surroundings, but stood still for a time, even after the portal closed behind her. Eventually, she spread out her arms and with her eyes closed, tilted her head up, bathing in the hot sun. Then, she turned into her dragon self.

She stretched her six limbs, tail, and seven necks, and with a running start, flew away. She soared up into the sky, letting out a mighty roar.

Their business concluded, Yeager headed back to Vala. Anyone wandering the streets in Vala would likely notice the mechs that were now patrolling the streets, as well as Yeager, who spent his time going from mech to mech in order to observe them and check their systems.

Jantra stood quietly behind Robin, watching the smith work.

Robin was thankful he didn't have to pay, waiting for the forging to be done.

Vala - day 12 - 12:00

After a few hours, Robin and Jantra would be informed the armour was fully repaired.

 

[Slenn]

Nevermind.

Vala, day 12, 12:00
Robin thanked the Blacksmith, taking the armour out to Jantra with great difficulty. "Here you, Oh gods this is heavy, go!" He put it down in front of the lion. With that done, he looked to Speedy sitting in his hood, asking him to lead the way.

Camp, day 13, 04:00 (if I have the days right)
Robin, Speedy and Jantra, after a long and grueling trip, arrived at the edge of Quan's old camp. It was populated by more of the transformed mercs, though none had spotted them yet, and Shara still imprisoned near the central pit.

Camp, day 13, 04:00

Speedy poked his nose against Robins neck. "What should I do?" he asked. "The books are over there"

Camp, Day 13, 04:00

Jantra was already fully equipped, and stood/crouched (whichever Robin is doing) next to Robin. "I can't believe I'm doing this..." he whispered, then took a deep breath. "Alright, tactician. What's the plan?"

Mountain Camp - Day 13, 04:00
You lie still, looking up at the night sky. For the last day or so, you've been chained down to the ground after you briefly tried to strangle one of the mercs with your handcuffs. You've spent the time slipping in and out of consciousness, sometimes getting overwhelmed by the pain. The rest of the time you try to meditate, though with no great results. You also wonder, frequently, when you will die. The injuries you sustained should have quickly, but it seems the spell cast on you is dragging it out. [color=0066cc]Still,[/color] - You think as you attempt to meditate again; [color=0066cc]It can't be long now.[/color]

Sometime after the senate meeting that happened a long time ago.

EMily, not entirely convinced she did a good job during the meeting, felt she needed to speak up against Winona.
"Winona, I think it's about time we've left. There isn't that much we can do anymore here."

<color=green>"Whaaaa? But I just got here a few days ago." Winona was distraught.

"Look, these people can make it on without us. I'm exhausted. And while the people here are nice, I'd rather I focus on my talents and eliminate my weaknesses on my own world. We've been at this for the longest time. I think it's about time we've rested."

Winona frowned.
<color=green>"Why are you being such a bummer? You used to be so happy."

"I'm still here, Winona. It's just that I don't feel like I've had any particular influence on this world aside from delivering the philosophy of science. It's been hard enough for me to try and adapt to this world, when I'm already so familiar with the world that we came from. And even there we don't understand everything." She sighed. "Listen, I'm sorry. Really I am. I've made enough mistakes as it is with Photon form, and I want to atone for that. I'm better than that. And attempting to try out its mechanisms on this world is not the best place."

Winona gave a...
<color=green>"Okay then. I suppose we should wait on the others to say goodbye."

Robin looked over the camp. "The major threat is that mage. Left unchecked, he could be the death of us all. Speedy, can you distract them?"

 

[Silence]

Camp, day 13, 04:00

"Alright." Speedy said, started up his engine, and ran fast, but silently, towards the mage. Arriving there, he pricked the mage several times.

Long tima ago, after senate meeting

Speedy was sleeping in Robin's hood.

Camp, day 13, 04:00
The mage looked around in the snow for Speeding, summoning flames in his hands.
"There's seven of them. A mage, an archer, two heavy guys, a swordsman and two spear users.. Think you can distract some of them? I'll take them out before they harm you."

After Senate
Robin, making sure Speedy was tucked in his hood comfortable, looked to the Sisters. "Wait, you're going?"

Jantra took a deep breath as he stepped forward, then let out a mighty roar. As soon as he finished, he charged forward with his shield raised, straight at wherever most of them were gathered.
