We Are Our Avatars XI (Open)

"Wow you're really pushing the limits of 'assault' there, lady! I should have you fucking... fucking court martialed, and executed, and stabbed to death in an alleyway for your wallet for that behaviour, fucking bonkers asshole!" the tattooist yelled at Ella. He then turned to Anik and asked, "Explain how, exactly?"

"I shall watch him if need be." Candace said, pointing her sword at the man.

 

[Furioso]

"A few minutes? No problem! I'm not gonna let a little fatigue ruin my first mission!" said Raz through clenched teeth.

 

[Kirke]

"Good, and thanks." - Ella replied to Raz, before walking over to the owner. "Are you alright, sir?" - She asked, trying her very best to stay professional.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

The owner, who was visibly freaking out, shook his head.

Around this time, all the patrons in the front room who were still alive and conscious were beginning to return to normal.

"I don't know what there is for you, but from magic, to genetic something, to science, there might be something.
If you want to. Otherwise - I know your heart. What it contains. I can judge if you want to change, or not." Anik stated.

Prologue of Part 2: Justice

Montreal, Quebec, Canada. March 2nd, 2025
- Portal Station -​

Back at the portal station, the portal swirled, and its edge changed to look like it was burning. You could see what was on the other side: The interior of a castle, a great hall.

One person, a woman, stepped through, completely in black and white: Long, white, flowing hair, mostly black armor with decorations, black boots, white skin, white eyes, black make-up. She carried a single weapon, a spear, completely white, seemingly made out of light itself.

She looked around the place, her gaze setting on the guards.
"So this is it."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Do not strain yourself boy". Candace told Raz.

Dalahar is quiete muzzled in a none lethal fight. He felt so frustrated when the human had started to claw at him. He saw the others had handled the problem swiftly and so causally grabbed his sttacked by the arm and lazily threw him away and he was delt with by the others.

He remained quiet as the others talked to the tattooist, nodded when his suspicions were confirmed that it was a false flag operation to smear EF. He picked his way outside, this time the parlour was already a mess so he just walked through everything in his way. While the others were inside he knelt on the floor and began meditations. He had been ready for battle, ready for combat. To fight and kill. This wasn't combat, a crazed human was no threat to him and the others had been capable enough to deal with it. He was dissapointed if anything, the meditations were to calm him down.

 

[Kirke]

During the time it took for the police to arrive, Ella went around and checked on everyone. She was unhappy to see that some had died, and told the group that they'd all have to give accounts of what had happened and why they acted. She also radioed in a recommendation that further XPOL officers be brought in to guard the tattooist.

As Fernand began moving closer to the tattoo parlour, Kuki looked towards the place, seeing the glare of the flames through the hole on the wall, about to say getting closer at that time probably wasn't a great idea. Just as they were about to speak, however, the battle ended, the flames dying down.

"I guess that's it?"

Kuki said uncertainly, looking to Dalahar as he exited the building.

"Hey, uhh... Dalahar?"

they called out, having some trouble remembering the name.

"Is it over? Is anyone hurt?"

 

[Slenn]

Shana, although she felt relieved that the situation was under control, felt a bit glum. And it showed as she gave a sad sigh.

 

[Vakra jal]

Dalahar had calmed himself, no longer filled with pent up frustration. "Seems like is over.
A scuffle nothing more." He finally said "The problem still remains however"

"Well I don't want to change." the tattooist stated bluntly. While he waited for the police, he glanced at the dead body, and then Ella. "Shouldn't you be arresting whoever killed that guy?" he asked.

Port

The guards looked at the mystery woman and asked, "Did you come through intentionally?"

 

[Kirke]

Ella glanced at the tattooist and replied; "Somebody will, but it wont be me." She then raised her voice so that everyone could hear her and continued; "You are all hereby detained, meaning that you are not allowed to leave. You will remain detained until the regular police arrive."

Anik turned to Ella: "It's a being of pure wrath. I don't know what you need you do with him, but I hope you, or the people you work for, can judge well.
You can't really let him walk free, even after a time, I think."

"Yes." the woman said. "And I would like to get your help. You let beings into this world who don't belong here. Dangerous beings. I need to bring back one to my world, and judge what needs to be done with the others.

You could help me, or you could stand back while I do my work. Just don't oppose me. I would like you to seal off this portal as well. No one can be allowed to travel while I deal with this situation."

"Problem? What do you mean?"

Kuki asked. Shortly after, they picked up on Ella calling out from the back of the parlour. Sucking in their mouth, and the skin around their eyes wrinkling, Kuki simply said,

"Oh... ."

The then looked through the hole, into the tattoo parlour, to try and see what the state of things were, while wondering if they too were detained, when they weren't part of the incident.

 

[Slenn]

Shana leaned against the wall and put her hands behind her head, gazing up at the sky.

 

[Kirke]

Ella looked over at Anik; "What he is is irrelevant. If he's convicted, he'll have the sentence prescribed for those crimes."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Oh COME ON! You shoot me over a shove, but won't arrest someone for STRAIGHT UP KILLING PEOPLE?" the tattooist yelled.

The police would arrive after some time but, before that, the firefighters would show up. Since nothing was burning, but there were burns and scorch marks around, they were obviously quite puzzled, and asked what had happened.

[hr]

Port

"Oh, you're one of those bounty hunter types. Well, go ahead and handle that. Just try not to destroy anything or get civilians hurt." one of the guards said with a sigh. "And the portal is already closed due to the anomaly."

 

[Slenn]

"Could you please be quiet?" Shana barked at the tattooist, but her volume returned to normal. "Seriously, you're giving me a headache."
