We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Outisakanobody]

"Right. I won't pry by asking what you're covering." Marston said to Yukino.
[hr]

Persephone gave a somewhat devilish grin to Ness as she sauntered over to her. "Oh I'll only be here for a short time. I just wanted to thank Vanessa here ever so much for the service she provided to me." she said in a light and airy voice, still grinning like some sort of intelligent and amused predator.

 

[Saltyk]

"Then, do so. I have no patience for people who think they are better than everyone else." Savranth replied curtly.

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica grew confused as she noticed that Persephone was there while she was walking up. She waved to Ness, seeing that she seemed uneasy and only growing more confused. "So I went to go check on Holly and Echo, turns out they both just went home. Also apparently Rex didn't feel it necessary to bother to tell us that." She opened with. "Sooo, who's this and what is she talking about?" She asked, gesturing at Persephone.

[hr]

"Interesting. We don't have ways to apply magic like that where I hail from. No one person could ever manage anything of those magnitudes." Nybeth replied to Rita as he started stroking his beard and trying to picture in his head the things she was talking about.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness was still shaky, more so now due to Persephone's grin. She did feel a tiny bit relieved by what Persephone had said. ...She... isn't being sarcastic... is she...? "Y... You're... welcome." She bowed toward the muse slightly, still shuddering a bit.

Turning to Jessica, Ness sighed a bit in relief. "I see. Thank the stars... She talked with a bit more confidence as she explained. "Well, Ms. Persephone is Holly and Echo's mother. I promised to take care of the two girls and she's... been watching to make sure I did so."

[hr]

Yukino smiled toward Marston. [color=bb66bb] "And thank you for that. The past should stay in the past..." [/color]

 

[Furioso]

"Well, a person doesn't really control those ones, we program them and then they work automatically. It's really just the personal ones, called bodhi blastia, that we control directly." replied Rita

 

[Outisakanobody]

"So do I, darling. So do I." Persephone said to Sav as she turned her cheshire grin on him.

"Yes, well, I should be getting back to dear Holly. Perhaps I shall bring you around to visit them at some point. Hmm...Yes, I think they would enjoy that." she said to Ness, tapping her chin in thought as she started to fade into purplish smoke.
[hr]

"It should, but it rarely does." Marston said grimly.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness smiled a bit as Persephone began to fade away, not because the woman was leaving, but because she loved the idea of seeing the two girls again. She nodded happily at the idea. "...I'd like that as well. They probably want to see Jessica just as much as they'd want to see me though." Suddenly, a thought popped into the fedora girl's mind. ...I'll at least get a warning about that, right? ....No suddenly waking up in a different world, right? Ugh... I can't take this...

[hr]

Yukino sighed a bit. [color=bb66bb] "Sad... but true." [/color]

 

[Drakmorg]

"And she didn't just tell you she took them back home herself?" Jessica 'asked' while crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at Persephone before she disappeared, 'asked' being a loose term as she practically knew the answer already. "I can't imagine they'd care to see me any though." She commented off-hand.

[hr]

"They work automatically? How is such a thing possible?" Nybeth asked, as he didn't know what the word 'program' meant and had no familiarity with computers whatsoever.

 

[Furioso]

"Well, we can inscribe a formula into a blastia, dictating what they do." said Rita simply.

 

[Saltyk]

Savranth stands up. "Well, now that that much is taken care of, what have you all been up to? And how are you feeling?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

Marston nodded solemnly and left to set up camp.

Persephone left.

Well, done. Time for sleep.

OOC: Goodnight.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness looked over toward Jessica and shook her head a bit. "Of course, they'd want to see you. You had just as large a part in taking care of them as I did. I'm sure they appreciate that. I think... she likes to mess around with me, which is why she didn't tell me straight off that she'd taken the kids home."

Turning to Sav, she shrugged sheepishly. "Well... all we really did was bring Tao back to jail... but I'm pretty sure I know that she's not... with us anymore. I'm holding up alright though." She seemed to get a bit depressed when she talked about Tao.

[hr]

With Marston walking off, Yukino went off to practice against a clone again. She went to her spot by Tanner's ship and continued long into the night.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Interesting." Nybeth muttered as he started stroking his beard again. "That sounds somewhat similar to a golem where I come from. Though golems are just enchanted bunches of stones and bits of metal given rough minds to allow them to follow instructions."

[hr]

"Getting sidetracked is about it, really. And what does it matter how I'm feeling?" Jessica replied to Savranth. "Anyway, what have you been doing? Anything about to happen?"
She sighed as she heard what Ness said to her. "You're giving me way too much credit." And I'm really hoping that woman never comes back again. She swung her left arm around and gently pat Ness on her arm. "Cheer up. You did the right thing there."

 

[Saltyk]

"Tao...?" Savranth thinks for a moment. "You should worry about it."
He looks to Jessica. "As for me, I've been here, working on how to use this sword... No idea how it works, though..." He says and pauses for a minute. "We'll probably be doing something in the next few days..."

 

[Furioso]

Rita thought for a moment "Hmm, well we do have things like that. They're mostly machines though, generally more precise than if they were stone golems. We do have golems though, but they're monsters that usually protect ancient ruins and have no blastia."

 

[DotSlash]

Ness just scratched her head a bit as Jessica patted her arm. After a few moments, she nods toward Jess, smiling a bit.

OoC: And Ness will follow Jess. Night.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Messing around with that sword, is that it? Didn't you mention something about some other ruins? Did anything pan out from that?" Jessica asked Savranth. "What do you mean by 'something' though?"

[hr]

Nybeth hummed to himself, but as he attempted to think of something else to say, he found he could only yawn. "I think perhaps it is time I took to resting. Tomorrow I shall see about learning more about that explosive compound I purchased. It hardly does well to know nothing about such thing." He said to Rita as he made his way back to his cave.

 

[Furioso]

"Alright, g'night." said Rita as she headed back to the dragon den, patting Ba'ul a bit as he slept before going to sleep as well.

[hr]

Envy was still idly watching Holadino

 

[Saltyk]

"I haven't heard from Lyra since we were attacked by some creatures. I don't know what happened to them... I would have gone to the ruins they wanted to look over, if I had." Savranth explains.
"And we'll probably start another operation, soon."

 

[Drakmorg]

Jessica scratched her chin in thought with her left hand, as usual. "I think Vanessa has a way of contacting them. Try asking her if you need to get in touch with them." She suggested to Savranth. Letting her hand fall down into her pocket she added, regarding his second resonse, "I don't suppose there's any way I could help with that at all."
