We Are Our Avatars XI (Open)

[Slenn]

Shana wasn't really sure of herself after the phone call.

"I've done all I can." She said, hanging up the phone. "I suppose I could head to the museum... learn some stuff." She looked through the phone book for the number of a local museum and dialed the number for hours of operation.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

???, Balderra, ??:??PM

"Well, you're currently in Balderra. All that's south of here is ocean, I'm afraid, so if you want to go home I expect you'd need a ship. But given that I've never heard of this Brazil place you're from you might not be able to get a ship ride there."

Yauna would sit down next to a wall and her eyes would glaze over, small flames flickering within her pupils.

[hr]

Dala and Candace, upon going into the city proper, would find it to have a number of shops, most of which appeared to be small businesses and markets. With some exploration, they would also discover the Museum of Interdimensional History.

[hr]

Montreal

Shana would learn that Montreal had a number of museums, from art to history, which were open from the morning til late afternoon or early evening.

 

[Slenn]

Shana refined her search for something that might have something on the first encounter with extradimensionals.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Montreal

Shana wouldn't find any museums in Montreal like that, though if she asked she would be informed of one in Tokyo.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Candace looked at the Museum, her interest piqued. "Think there may be something useful or interesting in there?"

 

[Slenn]

"Well... how about a library?" She thought out loud as she searched for one in the phone book.

 

[Silence]

?... why do certain people always answer literally and are unable to connect the sense of two sentences together?? Anik murmured to herself, then said more loudly:?I meant a way back to earth or some other magic way.

 

[Silence]

[color=e50000]?Something interesting for sure, but nothing you could take with you. Want to still check it out??[/color]

 

[Silence]

Blue watched Yauna for a while, getting rid of her invisibility device duribg that time.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Well I have to drink their blood, they could die really easily. I could take small amounts from numerous people, but it would take several people to give what I can get from draining someone dry." Nina explained. "I can feed off animals... But that's really more of an emergency kinda thing. They don't have nearly as much energy in them as humans, so I would have to drain them completely to get anything, and it wouldn't even be that much." Nina looked away, glancing down at the floor for a moment.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

???, Balderra

"You're ah... you're standing on earth right now?" the man responded, sounding quite confused by Anik's question. "But I expect a wizardy type might be able to send you back to where you came from, yes. You'd have to track one down, though."

[hr]

Otherworld

Yauna would appear to stay pretty much still and silent during the process.

[hr]

Montreal

With some checking, Shana would discover a number of libraries in the city. Zevrisya, who had been idly practicing her dramatic cape flicks, wandered over. [color=660099]"Thinking of checking out the local sights and smells?"[/color] she asked.

 

[Silence]

Otherworld

[color=0404B4]"So you need a lot.
You could live in a world where vampires are known, and people give their blood willingly for them. To get as much as you need would not really be a problem.

Or you could live your life as a hunter. There are a lot of beings who eat whole animals in one day, you would be no exception, nothing special, there."[/color] the planeswalker contemplated.

[color=0404B4]"Do you have more problems, or ideas?"[/color]

[hr]

After some time, Blue left the throne room. Guards were still watching Yauna, regularily changing shifts.

[hr]

Balderra

"... my apologies, I was not aware that you were not aware of travelling worlds.
And I would do that. Do you have an idea where I could look for one?"

 

[Slenn]

"I can't do much in terms of XPOL's business with Anik and Yauna. So yeah. So I've found some museums, as well as some libraries. I was hoping to figure out more stuff regarding extradimensionals here. A transhuman from my universe is rumored to have ventured here in the past. I just wanted to see if there were any pictures."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"We might as well. Let's see what has arrived here. Perhaps it will give us some idea of what to expect."

 

[Silence]

Avinah

[color=e50000]"Very well. I am interested, too."[/color] Dala said, then proceeded to lead the way into the museum.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

???, Balderra

"Uh... there's that half-elven compound north of here, the Library of Eradienne. Go into the village and ask a cart driver to take you up near there."

[hr]

Otherworld

After some time, Yauna's gaze refocused and the flames faded from her eyes.

[hr]

Montreal

[color=660099]"A trans... human? Is that like, something that transforms into a human?"[/color] Zev asked.

[hr]

Femesh Daer

Candace and Dala would find themselves standing before the front desk, where a few small groups were queuing to buy tickets. Exhibits were being advertised, from blastia and interdimensional technology to interdimensional travel, and the study thereof, itself.

 

[Drakmorg]

"No..." Nina breathed in air purely to sigh. "Fine. I'll give your first idea a try."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I don't suppose you have money for a ticket?" Candace asked Dala.

 

[Silence]

[color=0404B4]"Now I had this really fun idea to getting you to choose, and you just decide already?"[/color] the planeswalker said, smiled and chuckled. [color=0404B4]"Well, fair enough."[/color]

He waved his arm around. All of the mirrors, apart from the middle right one, changed to black, though different kinds of shades. The left one was like the abyss, while the right one was a clear night, lit by a few lanterns. The middle left showed a dark night, while the one in the middle showed some street lanterns.

[color=0404B4]"From left to right: The first one would be your grave, the second one a world without intelligent species. The middle one would be right where you came from, and it would be like nothing ever happened, apart from the experience you've gathered. The next one would be exorcism."[/color] It was the mirror that just showed a bright light. [color=0404B4]"People there would be able to turn you back into a human, but it would be extremely painful, and you would lose all your power, everything you are right now.
But you have made your choice. The right one, this is the world where you could leave under more or less your own, and would not need to fear starving, and do not need to kill."[/color]

The planeswalker smiled, and gestured. [color=0404B4]"Step through."[/color]

[hr]

The guards were not really that interested in what Yauna was doing, and did nothing different after her eyes stopped glowing.

[hr]

Balderra

"Thank you." Anik said. "Umm ... could you point me into its direction?"

[hr]

Avinah

[color=e50000]"Woman, I have all of the money.
Also, aren't you carrying my portemonnaie? Take the money out of there."[/color]

 

[Slenn]

"Hehe, not really. The portmanteau means 'transcendant human'. These are people who have linked themselves up to a supercomputer. So both the creativity and logic of a human being are magnified. They are known to cure mental diseases, read minds with the quickest of ease, sharply predict the weather forecast years ahead of time, and even predict social models. Most of them are on Earth. But according to my history books, a few of them retired from their duties to spread their wisdom and help beyond. According to rumor, this transhuman was said to have come to this universe before. In fact, she's the only one known to have jumped between universes. Amongst the whispers of travelers in my universe, she is known as the Electric Blue Fairy. An eccentric name, but it does consistently describe her rumored appearance."
