No one spoke to her nor for that mater even so much as acknowledge her presence which... was rude but she really didn't care as the Adventure's Guild was paying her for her time... and the last mission of the guild had paid well in coin but most of all in combat experience. Enough so her natural Viltrum senses and superspeed had finally awakened in the heat of battle! [color=39b54a]Astra[/color] had been so pleased to learn her half-human blood was not so thinned that some of the natural Viltrum abilities were not forever lost to her as some hybrids had been reported as suffering with. But her mother always believed it was only a matter of time... and again.. she had been right. [color=39b54a]Astra[/color] preened mentally as she stretched out her newfound senses her eye-sight was a keener than a hawk's she could see miles in perfect clarity. Her hearing could detect the scuttling of the rodents in the underbrush... and was even precise to locate unseen targets within 10'ft of her accurately enough to strike! Added to this her speed had doubled, even her autonomic natural healing had accelerated to regenerative levels! She was disappointed that all the combat with the undead army had NOT made her any physically stronger... which was annoying but she had to be patient. Unfortunately, this simple escort mission was not likely to provide ANY combat challenge enough to even break a sweat let alone push her strength to excel and grow. [I]'sigh'[/i], such were her fortunes... and with boredom the dreaded memories of her lost world, home, family and friends... began to weigh upon her mind. She needed some distraction... Noting there was not a cloud in the sky on this warm sunny day, she pulled out her Smartphone and began to take pictures! Taking photos of [b]Marla[/b], [b]Jacob[/b], [b]Felix[/b], She already had pics of [b]Talos[/b] from previous adventures... but she liked muscles so.. never too many of those pics. The Darkly robed witch {Nenarei}, and the elegant Asian? woman with the Katana {Abe Katori}... and of course several pictures of Marla's shy but cute sickly daughter... [color=00aeef]Smart Cell Phone[/color] - [color=8dc73f][b]Features:[/b] Eidetic Memory 'Camera & Video'[/color] ----- To all present it seemed as if the strangely dressed young woman decided not to take any note of their ignoring her following along her eyes drifting about unfocused as if she were in a daze for some time... but once the sun hit its zenith, she seemed to come back to the here and now. Then did something really odd... she took some smooth black 'stone-tablet' about the size of one's palm out of one of her many belt compartments and began touching its surface and it glowed with some inner light with shifting colored glowing icons. Then proceeded to move about holding the "stone" up like it were some kind of mirror looking at everyone one at a time or the terrain squeezing the stone to which it clicked softly. Clearly it must be some kind of enchanted device... but whatever she was doing was completely inscrutable, though she seemed to take a great deal of joy in... whatever it was as she spent long moments gazing at the glowing ... sometimes moving 'pictures' upon the stone's surface. But sensing when her antics were starting to become annoying she stopped abruptly ~ likely getting bored again... then she focused on the stone... placing something tiny from her belt in her ears? Then began to shimmy and dance slightly as a very soft sound of music'?'... emitted in the air about her quite unlike ANY kind of music anyone had heard before. Clearly it was a thumping rhythmic beat that sounded as is bees had been wrangled into some minuscule band or orchestra... words could be hear, a feminine voice but too soft to make out... [color=39b54a]Astra's[/color] reaction though was clear she greatly enjoyed the music she could obviously hear clearly... as she swayed her shapely hips bobbed her head to the beat and danced lightly about ... At the song's refrain she sang, not unpleasantly... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6XpLQM2Cs [color=39b54a][I]"...Don't Stop!" "Make it Hop!" "DJ blow my Speakers Up.." "Tonight, Gonna Fight..."
