We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[FPSfanatic]

"Well, that's the first wave done." Lyra said, looking out at the horde of predators. She reloaded her rifle, and rubbed her new collection of wounds less then enthusiastically. "What was that, 60? I'm counting the bodies, but some seem to have gotten... Gibbleted. That even a word? Hey Marcus, use your supercomputer brain, and tell me if Gib-"
"No, its not. Least, not when I got my dictionary installed, back in '98. And its 50. So says the counting program. Looks like a few got turned quite chunky." he said, kicking one of the dead over with his foot. "So what, now we die well? You give some rallying speech, and me and Xyleena take down a hundred each? Cause if that's the plan, we're gonna need another 10 or so of us. Jesus, must be a thousand of those slimy little bastards."
"We're gonna die here aren't we? Won't those Xyphatian people come help? we're in there territory."
Lyra shrugged. "Hell if I know. This place is in the middle of absolutely bloody nowhere, from the looks of it. They could have a million, and we'd have the same problems. Let me see if I can call someone, make this fight more even. Or get out of it, if we can." she pulled herself back into the mine network they'd set up in, and tapped at her commbead. "Hey Ness. Yello, Nessy poo, I could really use your help right now..."

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Berk: By the way, I've no objections to the Winterhold scene happening soon.

Why am I not suprised... Loki thought once seeing the computer asked for a password. For lack of a better plan on how to proceed, Loki clicked on the box asking if one had forgotten one's password, although he needed some time before he got the cursor to do what he wanted.

"Likewise." Erica said to Ness. Noting her facial expression, she said, "I don't suppose you're the descendant of someone I knew too?" with a chuckle. Looking back to Jessica, she said, "If posible, then I'd like that, thank you. And a museum dedicated to Four? She has become a celebrity, it seems!" with that said, she chuckled again.

 

[Wackymon]

Grace looked at Jona, "Peace?" she said to him.
Then, seeing his response to Aniken skywalker, recoiled, ""
Savranth would hear "... Yu chyump Yu pmequ... Fo husoc dacgyuso..."

@Random: You're forgetting about the new language? And yes, this is how Uryuom language is taught. [http://www.egscomics.com/comics/2003/09/20030924_Ppg8.gif]

 

[Saltyk]

"I see. It seems you feel strongly about this. I suppose the Force is sort of like your magic..." Savranth said to Jona. "Perhaps we should head back, too, though." He said noticing others leaving.

[hr]

"It's either that or we head to Granite Pass. If we do that, we'll move from the base we captured." Tiberius explained.

[hr]

Richard looks to Envy. His expression made it obvious that it was something that he considered above Envy's concern. Perhaps classified information. "That won't be necessary. As for the defenses, I know of nothing that currently needs work. Maybe Soto will have some work for you?"

[hr]

A box popped up on the computer.

The PASSWORD is easier than you think

 

[DotSlash]

Ness blinked a bit as she picked up on Lyra's transmission. She sighed a bit as she tapped her ear and whispered a bit. [small] "Ms. Reed? What do you need?" [/small]

[hr]

Yuki began to pull back quickly and silently.

 

[Zepherus14]

'A museum?' Sophia thought to herself. "I don't mean to interrupt, but... [sub]what's this museum?[/sub]" She looked at Erica and Four, feeling like she should really know this.

 

[FPSfanatic]

"Oh thank fucking christ, you actually have the bead in. The fangs just dropped a regiment on my head, I've got 3 people able to fight about a thousand or so enemies, and I don't have anyone else to call. I'm really sorry, realize that I'm probably interrupting something very exciting and enjoyable for you, but I might die in the next hour or so-" she was interrupted as Marcus yelled out "Need our sniper up top, more incoming! looks like another 50 to test the waters." "Shite, I need to go. Head to Rockbyrd, get as many people gathered up as you can, we need help ASAP." she got off the comm and ran to the entrance, already loading her weapon with AP rounds to bust through a predators helmet.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

The boy shrugged when he noticed the people walk away. Maybe there use to that sort of thing....weirdos.... he thought as he walked off a little.
[hr]
"I suppose it's not safe to ravel alone, not with all these creatures around after all" Black said to Marston as she continued to walk.

 

[Furioso]

Envy smiled "A fine idea, I'll go see if the good doctor has any work for me." and with that Envy went to see Soto

 

[Random berk]

Jona nodded at Grace's guess of peace, but looked confused by her claim of justice against Anakin Skywalker. Before he could think of a response, however, Savranth set off, and he turned to follow him.

OOC: @Wacky I don't know anything about another language.

@Nailik Sweet.

Anyway, I'd better get off earlier tonight. Back tomorrow.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Especially for a lady, like yourself." Marston said as he neared the edge of the forest.

 

[Drakmorg]

"I'll see what I can do." Jessica said to Erica with a smile. "Well technically there's only a wing in the museum dedicated to Four, but it is one of the more popular features." Hearing Sophia ask about the museum, she looked back over to her. "Oh, I'm talking about the museum back in my homeland. They mostly just preserve historical artifacts there and allow the public to observe them. But they also display artwork and sculptures or other things of that nature as well." She explained. Noticing Ness whisper to herself, her ears perked up visibly. "Something going on?"

[hr]

"I see." Nybeth replied, nodding once. "And what are our current plans?"

 

[DotSlash]

Ness sighed a bit as Lyra got off then turned to Jessica after mumbling a bit to herself. "[small] Echo and Holly will probably enjoy one more day here... [/small] Excuse me, I need to go assist Ms. Reed in not getting killed. Yukino should be enough to help her, but I need to make sure she doesn't go a-wall. I'll return once it's over." With that, she tapped her clip and teleported to Yukino's position.

The foxgirl tripped as Ness teleported near her, leading to her sliding on her face. After a bout of silent cursing and explanations, the duo teleported their way to Rockbyrd, as Ness focused on the moments when she had driven there.

[color=bb66bb] "...More of those aliens... They'll most likely be well armed this time." [/color]
"...You've fought them before?"
[color=bb66bb] "Yes, but I don't think I'll enjoy it this time around." [/color] Yukino seemed to look out into space for a few moments as Ness raised an eyebrow.

 

[Wackymon]

Grace shrugged, and followed Savranth, "From what I understand, it's pretty similar, but not quite the same." she said, "And yeah, we really should head back."

@Random Berk: Grace rubbed her Antenni on him to teach him Uryuomoco, to ease the language barrier.

 

[HatchyHatch14]

Black gave a very small smile and a nod. "Your quite the gentlemen for the assist" she said to Marston.
[hr]
The boy started at the sky as it turned dark, holding his head slightly.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Really? That's a museum? How strange, why would people do something like that?" She replied back to Jessica, her head tilting to the side a bit.

Sophia heard what Vanessa said, but as she turned Vanessa had already left. "Wait wait wait... Killed?" She said rather shocked.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"I hardly know how to be anything else in the presence of a young lady like yourself." Marston said as he whistled for his horse.

OOC: So...How old is Black again?

 

[Saltyk]

"It's still a similar concept. Magic is a natural thing for Xiphatians and even animals and plants can have magic principles." Savranth said as they left the forest.

[hr]

"Current plans are to prepare for the next effort and keep the enemy guessing as to our intended target. Both Port Letosh and Granite Pass have large forces in them." Tiberius explained.

[hr]

Soto was looking over some video of his Alien specimens. "Yes... very interesting... Not quite the next step in human evolution, but they are something of value."

OoC: So... How did Vanessa know Yukino was there and why didn't she get anyone else?

 

[Furioso]

OOC: @Salty, huh, I'd have thought Soto would be more excited over Aliens + GRUNTS

Envy approached Soto "Greetings Dr. Soto. I'm here to see if you have any work for me, anything that could help your progress, as long as it doesn't involve me getting killed of course." said Envy with a chuckle

 

[FPSfanatic]

In the ruins of Rockbyrd, an army sat. They had set up tents, built mess halls, and dug lines of entrenchments. As Yukino and Ness watched, a line of soldiers wearing nothing but simple leather armor and knifes charged one of the mouths of the mines, being met by a hail of fire. Most were dropped before they arrived, but several made it inside the mine, where the sounds of close combat picked up. Behind the trenches were strange artillery weapons, with barrels propped on the ground. Behind that were more elite predators, watching through binoculars, commenting to each other in their language about the assault. They wore full predator regalia, with plasmacasters at their shoulder and bracers hiding blades on their wrists.
