We Are Our Avatars XI (Open)

"Havnt been damaged enough for cybernetics." He said, flatly. "It's a long process but it's gene forging, not cybernetics. I have additional organs, strengthens bones, miscellaneous support implants etc. I could go on." He removed his helmet, hiss click. He held it under one srm. "The Word Bearers came for me, said this was how I could pay the emperor back, it's what the say to all their recruits. Word bearers take their numbers from defeated enemies rather than a homeworld. That's all I remember of home and that's.......276 years ago" he blinked in suprise and speaking his age, it is was weird to say it aloud. "So the Word Bearers took me, gene crafted me, filled me with promises of redemption and aimed me at the Galaxy"

Portal Room
A young man stumbled through the portal. He looked to be about 25, was of average height, and had long purple or black hair depending on the lighting. He wore a decorated black tunic and sash, along with black pants, and had a bracelet on his left arm. On that bracelet was a red jewel that the guards would be able to identify as a blastia. He was carrying a sword by its sheath strap, not bothering to strap it to his body. Disoriented by the sudden change in scenery, he fell over as soon as he entered the portal, dropping his sword.

"Ow... what the hell?" he asked as looked around from the floor.

"So that's 6 people, including me. Let's first get some food as well as some food to carry with us." She took out her pocket computer and punched in the numbers into a calculator. "I can give you all each 58 Canadian dollars. That's what the currency is called."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"And did you go along with it? We're you happy to follow their commands?" Lambda asked.

"That does not sound like a large amount..." Candace remarked.

 

[Slenn]

"Well, that's 350 divided nearly evenly among the 6 of us, including Tresh. Unless you have something else to sell, that's what we're going to have for the time being. Let's just try and look for stuff along the way that could help us get some cash."

 

[Vakra jal]

"Of course." He said. "It was a simple and cliche cause but a valiant one I believed at the time. To liberate the stars for humanity. Never had a problem with that goal. Things were simple. Compliant worlds good, non-compliant bad. Kill the bad ones. Simple"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"What happened when it became complicated?" Lambda asked.

"Like what? This is a developed place, it seems. I doubt hunting for artifacts or game will be possible."

Inside the Port

The guards looked at the other new arrival and would offer to help him up. "You came through an anomaly into another universe." one stated. Noting the blastia, the guard replied, "Are you from Avinah?"

Outside

The man... or former man, depending on your perspective, turned to face Ed, and screamed with rage. A wave of fire shot out around him, moving around a metre from him in all directions, before vanishing.

[color=663399]"I think we should just leave you in charge of the money. I was never in charge of purchasing supplies at home, nor did I work in food preparation."[/color] Viyang commented.

 

[Vakra jal]

"Just time. Time complicated everything. You have understand an astartes' connections with their primarch." His voice gained absence of reference and the tone lightened as he spoke of his primarch, Lorgar for the first time in awhile. "The golden we called him. Lorgar Aurellion. If you'd met him you would understand. Lorgar had vision, overwhelming powerful vision and guidance that drove us forward. From my voyage to the warp for truth to the decision to turn against the corrupt Imperium. I did it all for Lorger and his vision. I turned traitor for him." His voice grew solemn. "I don't think the rebellion was turning out how he planned."

 

[Slenn]

"Ah, okay. Then I will hold onto the money. Let's go find some food then. What do people like to eat?"

 

[Furioso]

Portal Room
The young man stood up, grabbing his sword by the sheath strap. "Through a what? Avinah? No I've never heard of that place." he responded, sounding thoroughly confused.

"Wait, you're sharing the money with us? Just like that?" Gash asked Shana. "Why? It should be yours, we didn't earn it."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Sounds like he was important to you. What happened?"

Candace thought. "Hmm... For the starter, a small bowl of caviar, followed by lobster with vegetables and spices for the main, and to finish onenof those new chocolate concoctions from the colonies. All served alongside finely aged wine of course." She told Shana all this as if the wolfngirl was a butler going to get it for her personally.

 

[Slenn]

"Well, consider it the party pool. And I'm the treasurer. Besides this came from a trinket Tresh gave to me. I'm certain he could've given it to any one of us." She said to Gash.

She chuckled. "I'm afraid we might blow half our cash if we order that much."

 

[username sucks]

Gash raised an eyebrow at Candace in astonishment, then turned to Shana. "See why I call her Princess?" She said, rolling her eyes. "I won't turn down a free meal. I just want meat or something else with with protein."

Dalahar remembered Istvaan V. The massacre. That was when it started to change where he could see how the heresy was going. 3 hours, 3 hours or what was to be the largest military engagement in the imperiums history. Dalahar has waged war for centuries and Istvaan still chilled him. There was something dark hopelessly violent about brother astartes fighting eachother. They had nothing to lose, warrior brethren all who lived to die on the field so countless mortals didn't. Dalahar was a heavy weapon sergeant at the time. "There was a battle, a massacre. I can't possibly describe it other than hell. A true blasted, scorched wasteland of a battle. No mortal, nothing but a space marine could wage such war. Tens of thousands dead in minutes. A one sided fight. We had the loyalists surrounded, they thought we were there to support them until we opened fire."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"It is the only way to eat." Candace proclaimed to Shana.

"And Lorgar did what? Order it?"

 

[Drakmorg]

[color=ff9966]"Hello. I'm Nina."[/color] Nina said to the guard she had been handed to, innocently waving to him.

 

[Vakra jal]

He shook his head. "Horus ordered it, he lead the rebellion. Catch the loyalists in the trap, break 3 legions in a battle. That was the idea. Lorgar isn't like his brothers, the other primarchs. He never wanted to be a general, or commander of an army but the emperor designed him to be so be just does it. He always tries to pursue scholarly and philosophical pass times and fostered that in the Legion. No the problem I had wasn't the massacre itself it was in the aftermath of the battle."

 

[Slenn]

"I bet you we could find an excellent fire pit that could serve grilled steak or burgers for all of us for the same price as the one meal you proposed for yourself. Furthermore, I bet you would like a steak or a burger." She thought about it for a bit.

"That actually sounds really good right about now."
