[color=92278f]"Yes, I wasn't there long, but that 'Dead Zone' was a dreadful place. I wasn't there long though."[/color] Sectonia said, adding her own thing. [color=92278f]"If we are talking about what we've seen so far... the great desert was quite annoying. We had to defeat a grotesque giant worm thing using a train that had some kind of rail gun on it. There was a land of sweets there however, I didn't grab many of them at the time, so I decided to make sure I gathered as much as I could this time around."[/color] Munching on her bit of pizza, she then thought of something to say. [color=92278f]"Its a shame that consul chased us out of that city. It would've been a lovely kingdom to add to my own. It would need some remodeling, but its art aesthetic worked for the environment in most places. I'm sure whoever I found to be reagent there would do a much better job than that P."[/color] She used this downtime to smelt the other worm trinkets she had gotten off of rika and Jr, making her projectiles even more of a pain to dodge. Thinking of how that would be useful, Sectonia had another story that not many here had seen. [color=92278f]"With these odd trinkets having their power transferred to me with no downsides, It reminds me of how at one point during that little desert adventure how I had to deal with this strange, black spiky thing that could warp around, stop time, and pull out some incredibly painful guns. the creature was very fast. Perhaps the unpredictability presented by these trinkets will benefit myself should I run into such a creature again."[/color] Looking at the group, Sectonia noted a few of them hadn't cleaned themselves up properly. Or at least, her version of proper. So as the group ate, she summoned some antilliosn to touch up a few of the group. (You can choose if you interact with this or not.) The antillions tried not to get in[color=92278f]"While we have some time to ourselves, I should make sure you are all presentable."[/color] And with almost a 'tut tut' motion, Sectonia said. [color=92278f]"Its best to be beautiful. Its a bit of a shame I don't have a mirror to see my own beauty. But that doesn't mean I can't make you all beautiful in hte mean time."[/color] ------------------------------------------------------------ [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/kxFo3GL.png[/img] Level 12 Blazermate (Holding 3 level up) - (20/120) Level 4 Susie - (33/50) - (Holding 2 level up) [b]Location:[/b] Sector 6 [b]Word Count:[/b] Less than 750 [/center] With the lunacy of Consul C concluded, Susie followed the group thinking about what she had heard. Some things this Happy Chaos said were... interesting. Susie thinks he gave more info than he even meant to, as if it was so casual to him he didn't even consider the group not knowing about any of it. This 'Flame Clock' was new to her. And considering he kept trying to infer to the two political forerunners that what they thought wasn't the core of this city... could this clock be what he meant? It didn't take long for both groups to merge, and soon after everyone was together again. As they looked for a place to put Midna's portal to head back to base, Blazermate had her scanner ping something. But for the life of her she couldn't remember what it was. She looked at it, but it vanished as soon as it appeared. The only thing she could remember is that it was some kind of shadow or something. And with how often her scan went off and how often she felt like she was looking at shadows, she could only rub her eyes. [color=0072bc]"I think my head part needs some fine tuning. I keep looking at shadows."[/color] Then she was reminded of that dark ship, that horrifying dark... With Midna opening up a portal, Blazermate having just spooked herself jumped in trying to be one of the first ones in. Susie could only shrug. What had gotten into that girl? Well, they had a lot to discuss about Happy Chaos there. A group of individuals that could freely control those under the influence of Galeem was not something to be taken lightly. And get her explination she did, as Goldlewis apparently knew Happy Chaos. He had come from his world! Well, that was helpful as that meant they might know what things he could do. [color=ec008c]"Hmm... hes a super powerful magic user? Thats a bit concerning. Knowing how his abilities work might help though. Perhaps there is a scientific way of dealing with it. Part of my company motto was to make your wishes come true. That is almost literal. Well, it would be if I had contact with the Access Ark..."[/color] Susie said, trailing off as she started to annoy herself. But she snapped back to getting to her point. [color=ec008c]"My point is, with proper technology, even magic can be made to heel."[/color] Blazermate, having been told what had gone on when the feed was cut out, pointed at something else. [color=0072bc]"So, that logic virus thing 'corrupted' people unless they got 'formatted', IE reset? That... is really weird. There has to be a way to fix that. Poor Tora is beside himself with worry."[/color] She glanced at where Tora had gone, the Nippon heading to bed and not joining in with the conversation. [color=0072bc]"Wait, doesn't beating the guardian kinda do a 'reset' on those nearby? Or the friend hearts? If we can even trust that guy. Hm... Man, this is so confusing. "[/color] [color=ec008c]"Either way, it sounds like we will need to hack quite a few systems to get into wherever this guardian is."[/color] Susie said. [color=ec008c]"I can handle that. But something still doesn't sit right with me. If Shinra has this guardian under lock and key, but he doesn't know about the Consuls, that is... odd."[/color] Susie said, offering that question up to everyone. --------------------------------------------------------- [center] [h3][color=d7d7d7][b]Roland[/b][/color][/h3] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/581952321546879006/1120967522892648530/BlackSilenceIcon.webp[/img] Level 1 Roland - (1/10) [b]Location:[/b] Sector 6 [b]Word Count:[/b] Less than 750 [/center] Roland had been tailing these people for a little while now. Thanks to his mask, he hadn't been noticed really. Well, he had been noticed a few times, but just ducking out of view before they really paid attention to him was usually enough. For the most part, even when they noticed him, they seemed to not be overly cautious about being followed or anything. Roland could pass this off as possibly people getting caught up in a shady business they weren't even aware of, if it wasn't for the presence of a couple folk that worked for the city. Roland didn't know the likes of Giovanna, Goldlewis, Benedict, or Zenkichi personally, he could recall that a couple of them worked for the city itself. Especially since two of them are turks, you have to at least know those faces if they are the office your working for. Seeing the time and considering the heightened security over what had just happened, the group seemed to be worried about being caught after hours. A valid concern he guessed. That was when he saw something interesting. The shadow lady opened some kind of portal near a group of dumpsters and everyone in the group barring Giovanna entered. Sniffing the air, she looked at Roland, eyes closed as to not be affected by his distortion mask. She then got into a battle stance, summoning an electric minion to assist her but also giving Roland quite a helpful tip. Seeing her sniff in Roland's direction, Roland then sniffed himself saying. [color=d7d7d7]"I don't smell that bad. I know I was sweating bullets during the debate, but..."[/color] His voice wasn't harsh at all, but instead very lax and carefree, swapping gears, he said. [color=d7d7d7]"Thanks for the tip ma'am."[/color] Shuffling a little bit, Roland then continued, undisturbed by her combat stance. [color=d7d7d7]"What is a member of the secret police, two turks, and a director head doing moving around with random people?"[/color] Roland then put on a serious voice for a moment as he said. [color=d7d7d7]"And what is your group's connection to that 'Happy Chaos' person."[/color] Roland had no real reason to distrust Giovanna or the other members of the group yet, and he harbored no ill will. This was reflected in his tone of voice afterwords. He had a very 'I don't wanna be here.' kinda tone to his voice as he said. [color=d7d7d7]"I'm just doing my job. You helped me out before, can ya help me out now?[/color]. Then, turning his voice to a more curious sounding tone, he said. [color=d7d7d7]"I noticed I couldn't understand a few things that guy was sayin'. Yet it looked like the people your with could. Considering how on edge everyone was, I can assume your not allies. But something doesn't add up here. Care to explain?"[/color]
