We Are Our Avatars XI (Open)

[Silence]

Dala inspected Lambda. [color=e50000]"You're a cyborg, aren't you? I thought they were not present at this time on earth.

Anyways, why I called you: I heard you were with Anik when White attacked you. I want to know how she reacted to the attack. Because investing so much effort, just to execute her ... it does not add up."[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I am not native to here either. It is a long story. As for Anik... She hid. She said they were going to control her, make her kill people." Lambda's voice became more somber as she spoke.

"Yeah"

, Kuki said, then paused.

"Well, I'll stay around until Ella gets back. I want to talk to her about visiting Anik."

Kuki stopped moving about, and looked back up to Candace, saying,

"Until then. Consider this an early goodbye."

 

[Silence]

[color=e50000]"Control her? From what I heard, I was under the impression she liked to kill people. Do you know how she got away from her world?"[/color]

[color=336699]"Unfortunately, it does need an artificial connection, and it would melt at those temperatures. But I could give you the number of a celestium arm maker on Avinah. I think he has what you'd need."[/color] Joel informed Dala.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Well, it was nice to meet you." Candace gave Kuki a smile and a soft pet.

"She really does not want to kill. Apparently the people that were after her are capable of mind control, and have used her before."

Morning​

[color=e50000]"On Avinah? Well, that would be very nice.
I'd like the number. Can you call to Avinah from this world? ... do the people on Avinah have phones already?"[/color]

[hr]

Dala furrowed her brow. [color=e50000]"Are you sure she was not just trying to escape her fate? Mind control is possible, but not all the time. And Anik ... well, people tell she has killed a lot of people. And killing some of them would not have been possible with mind control.
Otherwise, they might be able to make her repeat the things she has done in the past ... what was your impression? Was she honest?"[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"She was traumatised." Lambda answered.

Joel wrote down a phone number on a scrap of paper as he said, [color=336699]"You can't make interdimensional calls outside of the portal stations. And yeah, Avinah has had phones for decades."[/color]

[color=e50000]"Alright. Seems like I need to call on Avinah directly, then."[/color] Dala said. [color=e50000]"And that's interesting. The last time I was there, it was quite different.
I thank you."[/color]

[hr]

[color=e50000]"Traumatised?"[/color] Dala asked. [color=e50000]"Huh. Do you think I could speak with her? Where is she now?"[/color]

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Ile Bizard

[color=336699]"You've been there before? When was that?"[/color]

Morning​

[color=e50000]"A few years ago. But since time flows differently there, here and where I come from, I can't really say an exact point of time. It must have been close to the first contact, though. I was just wandering around, looking at the changes the world had gone through."[/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Last I heard she was imprisoned, though there were rumours of release."

 

[Silence]

[color=e50000]"Huh. Alright, good for her. Although ... she's pretty easy to catch then, isn't she? I can't really imagine, this Dalahar left the other extradimensionals, and she's blind, and on her own ...
Do you think you could look out for her? I want to speak to her, then decide if it is necessary to close the portal to my world. Which ... would bring certain difficulties with it."[/color]

Forefront HQ / Portal station, Montreal​

After everything he had discussed with Blue was reported, and all the administration was done, the representative checked in with the surveillance team, who checked what Blue was doing through the ant spybot that followed her around.

If Blue still had the earpiece in, the representative, spoke to her. "Madam ambassador?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"She's stronger than you think. And I will talk to her if I can."

Dala smiled. [color=e50000]"Alright. Just a question: Do you think you can fight? And, this might seem weird, but do you have blood?"[/color]

Blue was just sitting around, having the earpiece in. She spoke silently.
"Yes. Do you have a plan?"

Spoiler: Things

Home again.
Or at least the closest I can ever have.

Dark.
Cold.
Still.

But it's mine.
It cannot be taken.
It cannot leave.

The Angels will help me.
They and I are the same now.

Second Hotel, Pointe Saint-Charles, Montreal. March 5th, Late Morning.

Nina walks into the hotel after Dala had left, enough time having passed that neither would see each other outside the building. She looks visibly upset, her whole body shook, and she was clearly on the verge of tears.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Yes, I have blood. I am part organic after all. And... I can fight, but I don't want to unless it's unavoidable." Lambda looked away from Dala as she said that.

Candace, sat in the hotel lobby, looked up as she saw Nina enter. "Nina! Are you alright dear?" She stood, heading to the girl.

[color=336699]"Well, from what I heard, it's changed a lot over the past century."[/color] Joel replied.

Point-Saint-Charles

The security officers would report Blue's activity to XPOL, and state that her powers meant the security team at the port had no way of detaining her in future.
