We Are Our Avatars XI (Open)

[Slenn]

"And how do you know that an employee will not help us? I do find it oddly strange that, in comparison to the difficulty of these natives locating a home universe from here, you claim to have an ability to go to any universe you wish at whim. Where do you hail from?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"The port is closed, for now. Some associates of miss White are guarding the facility." Lambda told Shana.

Outside the prison - March 4th
Ella breathed a sigh of relief when Dalahar went back to normal. To change the subject, she said; "Well, even if I wasn't allowed to meet Anik I think this was productive. For example, I learned that they believe we've committed an act of war. That should get the government's attention, and it might even stop the extradition."

 

[Silence]

"Well, because of what you just said, obviously. Them taking weeks.

And I don't yet possess the ability, but an associate of mine. If you were smart, you would know she is a 'planeswalker'. And I hail from Krovstedt, not like you would know what that is."

 

[Slenn]

"I don't see how knowing what a 'planeswalker' is is a good gauge for intelligence. Seeing as how I'm new to this place, and I've only known one such person from my universe who could go between universes. And I'm sure these employees are doing the best they can. Taking a long time does not mean they aren't helping." Hearing what Lambda had to say, she then had another question. "So are you one of White's colleagues?"

There would, unfortunately, be no poofy clothes available in the store.

Candace harrumphed. "Who runs this place?" she tought to herself aloud.

Port exterior, Pointe-Saint Charles, Montreal. Late morning. March 4th.​

Kuki was ignoring Blue as she talked to Shana. When the conversation continued on for a while, however, Kuki looked up to Shana about to speak, but then looking down to Lambda as she approached.

"White? As in, the woman that came looking for Anik? Why have they been given the authority over the station?"

"Fair enough.
Well, I thank you for answering all our questions. I'll be sure to go here if I lose some limbs ... hehe ..." he joked awkwardly.
"Do you still have any questions, Kuki, or should we go?"

"So you even know of such a person?
Well, why can't you believe we can do that, too?" Blue said. "And they try to help, but they have no idea what they're doing.

And yes, I'm colleague of stupid dead woman."

 

[Vakra jal]

"It's a mess" Dalahar admitted to Ella "The political complexity is not something I'm used to. I can tell that things won't be straight forward"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Anik is a criminal. They have come to extradite her."

 

[Slenn]

"Yes, the Electric Blue Fairy. Legends say in my universe that she once existed as a human 500 years ago. And this person was someone of incredible power. And, quite frankly, you or your friends don't appear like it. As for the people working on the portal, it wouldn't be wise to place judgement on people who are trying to research something completely new to them."

Automail store, Ile Bizard, Montreal. Afternoon. March 3rd.​

"I've got nothing further, no!"

Kuki answered Fernand. Good looked to Joel and wished him a good day, then looked back up to Fernand.

"I'm actually not sure on where to go. There's so much to see! Maybe go to a diner? I couldn't eat any of the food, but I'm interested to see what people here eat."

Once Fernand left the automail store, Kuki said;

"oh, by the way! If you ever loose a body part, I could almost certainly reconstruct it."

[hr]

Port exterior, Pointe-Saint Charles, Montreal. Late morning. March 4th.​

Hearing Lambda's response, Kuki was quiet for a brief moment, thinking what Anik was suspecting seem to have come true.

Not dwelling on it for too long, they spoke again.

"Because they want one criminal, a whole transport station gets locked down? That really seems disproportionate. Won't this seriously hurt income?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I agree." Lambda told Kuki. "I don't think shutting down the entire port for this arguably immoral extradition is a good idea. But I don't have much say..."

Fernand said goodbye to Joel as well, then answered KukI: "We could go there, sure. Maybe meet up with the others then go dining?"

As they left the store, he answered: "Huh. Now I'm conflicted. Would I use a cool looking automail, or would I let you reconstruct the limb?" He laughed.

Blue laughed. "Electric Blue Fairy? Sweet.
Of course I don't look like someone with incredible power. Why would you show your power that openly unless you wanted to rule directly? It's just not what I want to do.

Now, I could show you some power, but seeing like the people of this world shoot first and ask questions later, I doubt it would go over well if I don't ask you for permission. And these people have built a portal before understanding what is going on, of course I can judge them."

 

[Chungus]

Automail store, Ile Bizard, Montreal. Afternoon. March 3rd.​

"Well, having it replaced will probably be quicker. But you won't be able to feel anything. It would come down to preference, I guess? Of course, it would be best to not lose anything in the first place!"

Kuki said to Fernand.

"Anyway, your idea sounds good."

 

[Slenn]

Shana was not amused, and it showed on her face as a small scowl.
"In any case I'm not in any need to go back to my universe just right now. I've never been to Earth before, and I'd rather poke around a bit. Even if this isn't the same Earth from my universe. That and I want to spend some time with Kuki."

 

[Chungus]

Port exterior, Pointe-Saint Charles, Montreal. Late morning. March 4th.​

"I wonder if this happens often... "

, Kuki mused aloud. They didn't dwell on the thought for long, however, soon asking,

"anyway, if this station is down, do you know where we could find the next closest portal station?"

Fernand chuckled. "Yes, indeed."

He nodded, and looked around, spotting the others in a clothing shop. He went inside. "Hey, want to grab something for dinner together?"

"Actually, you should get back to your universe this soon.
And your little friend especially."

Blue then seemed to glance through Kuki. What she did, in fact, was read their mind, their current thoughts.

 

[Slenn]

"Is there some reason behind this haste? And why emphasis on Kuki?"
