The girl kept her hoodie down, as she looked up. Despite the voice and her stature, her eyes looked... mature if anything else. Narrow and a light blue. [color=D00012] "...Anise Sinclair. Good to see people are civil... for some place that has something sketchy happening now." [/color] She'd tilt her head a bit, casting a glance at Candace and Zev before looking back to Shana. [color=D00012] "Speaking of... what's happening?" [/color]
"Well, to put it simply there's this baddie named Blue who is trying to take control of the portal that's in this town. Dala, Candace, Yauna, Nina, and I tried to shut down the portal. However Nina and Yauna decided to not follow orders and engage Blue who was at the place the portal was leading to. Yauna retreats after having her arm broken. We then try to retrieve Nina, but Yauna wants to kill Blue. Yauna comes back but is unscathed. And so both of them are pretty much guilty of trying to conspire with Blue, since it's not out of the question that Blue would've let them go based on a contract."
Anise tilted her head before giggled softly. [color=D00012] "Well... if that ain't a curt summary! But I wouldn't rule out someone's innocence until you're completely sure. Completely." [/color] Stretching in place, she'd yawn. [color=D00012] "What does this Blue guy actually want with this portal? Is he actually blue?" [/color]
Candace, despite having been through most of it, still struggled to follow Shana's summary, so she merely gave Anise a short bow.
"Blue's a she, actually. There was this person who joined us from the beginning named Anik. Apparently she committed crimes while under the control of some aristocrat from her world. Anik doesn't want to go back because she doesn't want to become a mind controlled assassin anymore. At some point these 5 people showed up under the names of White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green to apprehend white. White got killed while trying to get her hands on Anik at the last hotel we were at. Blue, Black, and Green have been bent on revenge. And Red here, also known as Dala, is wanting to stop Blue." She turned her head and looked up at the sky. "I hope I got that all right."
Anise's eyes looked like they glazed over a faint bit before she'd just shake her head a bit. [color=D00012] "O-Okay so... basically crazy people with powers, coming from different worlds to kill someone. And one of said crazy people is about to take control of a portal that could open to who knows where...?" [/color]
The girl sighed and scratched the back of her head. [color=D00012] "That's some shit... But is Blue blue? I really need to know." [/color] She'd grin under her hood before returning the bow from Candace with a little curtsy... a surprisingly proper one if she didn't spread the band of her hoodie in place of a skirt.

"Well she is dressed in blue. And she controls water and all manner of illusions. And this person has a portal that connects to their world I believe. I don't know what exactly I saw on the other side when I went to get Nina. Some sort of palace I think."
Candace smiled a bit, noting the curtsy. "It is nice to meet a well mannered lady. I am Candace Ayers."
[color=D00012] "Oh thank goodness... Well... the her being blue, not the control of water and illusions and stuff. That doesn't sound good..." [/color] Anise murmured as she scratched the back of her head. [color=D00012] "So... who's Yauna then? I guess when we go to storm that portal, we'll see Nina soon enough." [/color]
Turning back to Candace, the girl gave a salute. [color=D00012] "Funny... I've been told I'm the exact opposite of good mannered. Nice to meet ya, Candace." [/color]

"A bow and a salute? I daresay, whomever claimed you were ill mannered must not have been such themselves."
Anise grumbled as she scratched faster at the back of her head. [color=D00012] "Well... that's interesting, to say the least. A witch, a wolf... and possibly crazier out there... Nice." [/color] She seemed to be handling this well, despite the scratching. She looked back to Candace and snickered. [color=D00012] "Well... maybe. They weren't exactly the most, uh, normal." [/color]
[color=D00012] "...Uh..." [/color] She paused for a moment before shaking her head. [color=D00012] "I.. do things for a living... As for hobbies, well... it's something to talk about when that portal's done and over with." [/color] She looked off to the side for a moment afterward.
Somewhere off the west coast of America
Gilson's head was killing him, maybe he had a bit too much to drink at the celebrations with the other teams. SOS and WK. Both completed projects, both already benefiting humanity. A couple of months and they would release SOS advancements to other software companies to revolutionise AI and computing, while the benefits of WK were already at work as their templates were put under swift production at various factories, masked as owned by other corporations. All that was left was CA, his project, the hardest project he'd ever worked on but also the most interesting and fulfilling.
He was glad the communications room was dark unti a flash blue light split the darkness. He winced and groaned as the outline of a mans face appeared, a halo of blue light around him. "Been celebrating have you? That's good. You won't be stuck on that Rig any longer my friend. We are moving DI to Africa, you will continue work on CA there. A transport is already en route. Conditions will be more streamlined now, with WK and SOS complete we can focus reserve funds on the CA project. The rest of the money goes to Tombstone, production and training:"
Gilson nods curtly, he didn't like being stuck on this Rig. "That's fair enough, was going over the reports of the mission failure earlier. Despite the outcome we still proved that Tombstone Dropships can operate in complete stealth, right under XPOL."
"There's another operation due, we are going to see if these immortals that Helena is so proud of are up to scratch. Prep yourself for departure in 2 hours" the com line then went silent and darkness returned, much to Gilsons delight.
"An hour to recover then an hour to pack" he smirked before laboriously standing up with a groan and hobbling out of the com room.

Dala watched on, listening to the conversation, sceptically.
[color=e50000]"So ... you want to try again?"[/color] she asked, finally.

Coming closer to the tower, Nina would see several humanoid figures, fully covered by black robes, do different things at the foot of its base. Some were seemingly doing something magic, while others had machinery to work with.

Alright, let's see what this is about... Nina approached the base of the tower, but stopped a respectable distance from the people she saw. "So, you guys the ones that are gonna be jabbing me with the hot pokers? Word of warning, you're gonna want to make those puppies real hot." She held up the charred remnants of her hand and wrist before adding, "I'm very good at dealing with pain."
Otherworld
One of the people in black turned as they heard Nina's voice. Their face was covered in black cloth as well, only the eyes, human ones, were visible. The person was carrying a big, and futuristic, gun, but was pointing it downwards, not threatening Nina.
They inspected Nina for some time, then answered, in an androgynous voice: "Why should we? You cause no trouble."
The others kept on doing what they were doing, occasionally glancing at Nina, but not taking breaks to do so.

[color=660099]"I'm Prosecutioner Zevrisya Xoza!"[/color] Zevrisya announced to Shana, proudly. As she spoke, she rose up to her full height of 6'3" and puffed out her chest a little. [color=660099]"And no, I'm not from here. I'm from Bok Resh."[/color]
