We Are Our Avatars X (Closed, Ended)

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10
[color=0066cc]"It was real enough. I've fired blasters plenty of times, and it was no different."[/color] You hesitate, thinking [color=0066cc]Though, it didn't kill me instantly when I blew my arm off. I didn't even black out, so it might be less powerful than my old one.[/color] You shrug it off, and continue by shaking your head; [color=0066cc]"No, I shouldn't know more than I need to. If I'm questioned about what I've learned, I will have to talk, so best that I don't know much at all."[/color] You walk back to Anik, shakily placing your left hand on her shoulder. [color=0066cc]I'm still not used to it. It was only gone for a few months and I'm this unsteady.[/color] Out loud, you say; [color=0066cc]"Good luck, and thank you. I know I'm asking for too much, and I am sorry, but I don't have much of a choice anymore. I'm not even sure killing me would be a solution, I've been brought back to life once already."[/color]

Yeager chimed in. "If you think it vould be better than staying vith me, you two can leave together."

Vala - Day 9 - 06:15

"No, but thanks for the offer."

 

[Silence]

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10 - 15:23

"Alright." Anik said to Shara. Unexpectedly having a hand on her shoulder, Anik winced a bit, but made no other sign that she was uncomfortable with it, calming herself fast enough. "I don't think you are asking too much. And your situation is pretty dire."

Hearing Yeager, Anik turned to him, and said: "No ... I think Timea was right. This is the safest place for Shara. Thank you for the offer, though. If ... if it is too much trouble, I will try to find a way to let her travel with us. But you seem to have better resources than we have to protect her."

Turning back to Shara, Anik added: "I'm sorry ... is this alright for you? I won't force you to stay with Yeager."

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10
Your facial expression remains neutral, even thoughtful as you scream [color=0066cc]Don't let me out! That's a terrible idea![/color] But the words never reach your mouth. Instead, you hear yourself say; [color=0066cc]"I... I think I should come with you. Yes, I might even be able to elude Quan Chi for a while that way. And besides, A cold steel cell? Not very comfortable!"[/color] Your tone is optimistic, even with a hint of joking, but inside you feel like curling up in a corner, possibly forever.

 

[Furioso]

Femesh Daer
"Hey this vas just a storage room, I didn't expect to have to hold someone here. Anyways, Quan Chi already knew you vere in here, it's only a matter of time until he tries something." replied Yeager, crossing his arms.

 

[Drakmorg]

Nothing.

 

[Silence]

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10 - 15:23

Anik stood there for some time, not having expected this simple kind of answer. She desperately tried to read Shara's heart without success.

"... are you sure, Shara? I have heard that Quan Chi can just teleport himself anywhere. Why would it be possible for you to elude him outside of this place?

I feel really bad about leaving you in here, though. And our little group ... we are not really fit for traveling with more people. And I trust Timea."

Feeling herself trapped between a rock and a hard place, Anik held her hands against her heads. Finally having an idea, she said to Shara: "I can't decide this on my own. I need to ask Timea."

She turned to Yeager: "Could you spare some of your guards to accompany us until we have met Timea? I do not know how powerful this sorcerer is."

 

[Kirke]

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10
You nod, adding that Quan Shi probably isn't extremely powerful in a fight, but that he still is dangerous. [color=0066cc]"And I'm not sure he can know where I am. If I'm gone before he checks in again, it wont matter that he can teleport if he doesn't know where to go. "[/color]

 

[Furioso]

Femesh Daer
Yeager thought for a moment before responding. "I can spare two guards."

 

[Silence]

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10 - 15:23

"Thank you, Yeager." Anik said, then added more hesitantly: "If Timea does not agree ... can Shara be brought back here? Or somewhere equally safe ..."

Wondering if this was not a mistake, but not wanting to disappoint Shara, Anik turned back to her. "Alright, we will try it. Don't be disappointed if Timea opposes ... that's a real possibility. She did put you in here for a reason, after all.
Also, we might go to Rebecca first, while Timea is still eating. Do you know her? She's also in Femesh Daer, and I found her because she seemed similar to Matilda."

"Anyways, let's get going." Anik said and turned to leave, clicking to orientate herself. She started walking, but then turned to Yeager again: "Thank you for what you did. But actually, I have another question, about the ship I have heard outside. What are you planning to do with it? Is this necessary for the defense of the city?"

 

[Kirke]

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10
[color=0066cc]"I have met Rebecca before, actually. Come to think of it, she might be able to help me."[/color] - You say, though you are unsure if you'll even get that far. You follow Anik, knowing that you'll probably have to fight her soon.

 

[Furioso]

Femesh Daer
"If she does not agree, I vould suggest taking her to Vala rather than back here. They have mages and a magic school, along vith it being a fortress. It's most likely the safest place for her, and the best place to see if she can be helped. As for my ship, yes, it is for defense. Calibeth has a major disadvantage in naval combat, and it's also the exact vay the Vesh vould attack. Vith my ship patrolling the vaters they'll think twice. Or, if relations improve, it could be used to break the ice flows to allow for vinter trading." replied Yeager, quite proud of himself.

Two of the Red Eyes that had been at the cell followed them as they headed out of the factory.

 

[Silence]

Femesh Daer, Factory - Day 10 - 15:25

"Hmm, that might be good." Anik said to Shara, heading out of the factory. "Thanks for the tip, Yeager. And telling me about the ship." she said as well.

Walking through Femesh Daer, wondering about what she had done, Anik headed towards the inn where she sensed Rebecca. She walked quite slowly, so as to not lose Shara and the Red Eyes.

 

[Kirke]

Femesh Daer - Day 10
You follow Anik out, saying good-bye to Yeager on the way. As you walk, you feel even more dismayed. [color=0066cc]He'll come after us. He'll come after us and he'll kill Anik and maybe worse. Blast you, Anik, why do you trust me!?[/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

Vala - Day 9 - 6:16

[color=9f2089]"Hi. My name's Cybil, by the way."[/color] Cybil said to Ana, for some strange reason only deciding to chime in after several minutes of prolonged silence.

 

[Furioso]

Femesh Daer
The Red Eyes would follow Anik and Shara, not speaking unless spoken to.

After the group left his factory, Yeager headed back to center of the factory, clapping his hands together once, loudly, as he walked up to a group of engineers and Red Eyes that had gathered as the group was heading out. "Wunderbar! They're out of the vay, that crazy pale freak doesn't have a reason to come back, no loose ends that vant us dead. Now, prepare to launch the Zaude!"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Vala - Day 9 - 06:16

Ana looked over at Cybil, and replied, "I'm Ana, if you didn't already know that." After a moment of thought she asked, "You came here with Robin and the Vesh'Rah, as well, correct?"

[hr]

Femesh Daer - Day 10 - 15:25

Rebecca was still in her room, where she had been before, adding to the weapon schematics she had been drawing up.

 

[Drakmorg]

Vala - Day 9 - 6:17

[color=9f2089]"That's correct. Robin and I volunteered to escort the Vesh'Rah here safely when we heard they were reluctant to enter the country."[/color] Cybil answered Ana.

 

[Silence]

Femesh Daer - Day 10 - 15:28

Without disturbance, Anik, who had at least felt a little bit anxious, arrived in the inn with Shara and the two Red Eyes. She went straight upstairs and knocked on the door of the room behind which she sensed Rebecca.
