We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

[Demonjazz]

Bruce was blindsided by Shara, and tackled out of the way of Jane's strike. He let a groan as he was tackled to the ground due to nursing more than a few bruises on his backside. He looked over to Jane and said "Thanks, I guess. Would have been one nasty wound would if you didn't tackle me." Being on top of Bruce, Shara would notice that he was wearing a tool belt filled with various bits and bobs. As the deck started to come alive he was panicking and attempting to fight back, but what with being tackled to the ground he couldn't really do much.
Heno kept his eye on Jane, but mostly sat dejected in the corner.

EMily stepped back a little in surprise as the boards began to wrap themselves around the legs.

Hillary didn't verbally respond to Timea, but instead nodded, unaware if Timea was looking at her or not. Hillary would tense up on the landing however, the heavy thud and the earth breaking under their weight, made Hillary flinch as she frankly wasn't expecting such a reaction. Once she was free, Hillary would take a couple steps out from Timea, then turned back to her. "T-that was kinda scary." She mused, apparently not traumatized by the flight even if she had seemed unsure of it.

She however did also tilt her head, and even her body to look at the impact Timea made, looking back up at her questioningly. "Does, that always happen when you do that?" She questioned.

You struggle to keep Bruce down, positioning yourself to straddle him. [color=0066cc]"Stay still, or I'll punch you. Hard."[/color] - You say, motioning towards the metal prosthetic strapped to your left arm, which you still have ready to strike. You feel the pressure in your head still rising, and you wonder how long you can stand it.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Seeing Shara take care of Bruce, the Vesh'Rah sorcerer made the wood around Bruce's ankles recede, though he left the wood around Jane's wrists until she showed signs of calming down.

Timea would see a building in the centre of the city, consisting of three circular rooms topped by domes. While a Christian church might have a crucifix mounted atop the domes, this temple had a different symbol. The northern dome had a simple circle, the southeastern dome had a circle with wavy triangles spreading out from the centre and the central dome, which was also the largest and highest one, had a circle which tapered to a point at the top, like a raindrop.

"Oh, you'll get used to it after a few times, I'm sure. Who knows, you might even like it one day." Timea said happily, standing up after setting Hillary down. She looked down towards the landing impact marks she left on the ground, then began walking to the city gates, moving somewhat slowly to allow Hillary to keep up with her significantly shorter legs.

"With soft ground like this, all the time, yes. And not only when landing, but when making a heavy step like... ", Timea began to answering, pausing momentarily to place more weight in making a step, resulting in that foot sinking deeper into the ground. "...that, too. It's because I'm actually really, really big, and in this form, all that weight is being placed on the two small legs." She finished explaining, looking down to Hillary and giving a smile at the end.

"It's not that big of a problem where I live, back home, since I primarily live around mountains and shifting sands. In the first case, the ground is more hard-and-fast, so this doesn't happen. And in the second case, winds will have changed the sand enough to cover up my tracks."

Having noted the prominence of the building, and drawing parallels of the signs on the domes to the crescent moon and star she has seen on mosques, Timea noted that the building had to be the temple, and committed its location in the city to memory.

Jane sat seething on the ground, not moving. Homer started walking over to them.

 

[Slenn]

EMily went over to Jane. She felt like she wanted to add something like "You should not have made it escalate that quickly" or "You should have known better." But she wasn't her mom. Instead she tried a different approach.

"Can I see the knife, Jane?" She asked calmly.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"I can't move." Jane said through grit teeth, struggling against the wood binds.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"I'll let you go if you promise not to attack anyone else. Except pirates." the sorcerer stated.

 

[Slenn]

"Could you drop the knife then?"

 

[Zepherus14]

"I dunno, that was pretty fast. But when I closed my eyes it didn't feel like I was moving at all." Hillary grinned, which unfortunately had the effect of making her look like she didn't have teeth. Hillary would dawdle behind Timea somewhat even with Timea slowing down for her. Either new sights and smells would draw her attention for a moment, or she'd stop to check she was still walking along properly, regardless though she was still managing to keep up and eventually would be walking more beside Timea as they drew closer to the city.

"Ya, you are really big, I don't think I've ever seen someone as big as you are." Hillary agreed, seeming amused by the big holes in the ground.

Hillary would then listen to where Timea lived, trying to picture it. "So is it grey like everything is here?" She asked.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Jane let go of her knife. "He better not try this again." she said as she looked at Bruce.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"No, he'd better not." the sorcerer said, as he made the wood return to its original state. Once the deck was back to normal, his ring stopped glowing.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Jane picked up her knife and gun quickly, holding both protectivly before slumping against the ship's rail. Homer sat next to her silently.

 

[Demonjazz]

Bruce didn't move. He stared annoyingly at Shara "Is this really nessacary?".

 

[Slenn]

EMily relaxed herself and took a deep breath to help.
Sheesh, that got almost out of hand.
She sat down quietly wherever the sun cast a shadow on the ship.

 

[Kirke]

Satisfied that Bruce wont keep fighting, you stand up. While going to your seat, you groan quietly, feeling a headache coming on. You sit down and massage your temples, closing your eyes.

OoC: Off to bed.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Robin sighed, deciding to try and keep those two separate in future. He looked at EMily. "Are you alright?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"You better knock it off with that...thing you keep doing." Jane said to Robin hotly as she glared at him.
