[center][color=00ffff][h2][i][b]Victoria van Dyne[/b][/i][/h2][/color][hr][color=00ffff][b]Location: [/b][/color]Desert - The Everforge [color=00ffff][b]Powers / skills: [/b][/color]N/A [color=00ffff][b]Equipment: [/b][/color][url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/albums/1758]Otherworld outfit/armor[/url][/center][hr][Color=00ffff]"Legs are good!“[/color] Victoria called out to Chase happily. Biting her cheek about the lack of defensive elements on Leah's structure and trying to pay a place called Ever[b]forge[/b] with what amounted to [b]iron ore[/b], she looked Marlena's way. [Color=00ffff]"I'd stay low. If they're used to hiding in the dunes, they'll see you long before you see them. But they can't see you behind another dune. The means of survival have an order: Don't be there, followed by don't be seen, don't be acquired, don't be hit, don't be wounded and ending with don't be killed."[/color] Seeing no change in Sabine, she quickly pulled the bracelet off and pocketed it. Then it happened. Wings. Victoria wasn't gobsmacked easily, but on this occasion her jaw hung a little loose. Suddenly her seeming ten years older for no reason didn't seem relevant. [color=00ffff][i]And they look pretty too...[/i][/color] Fortunately, Luna found a legit sounding reason to not use the names Chase dished out. She didn't want to break his spirit early on, but she absolutely hated [i]Isolde[/i]. It sounded like someone's favorite aunt. What, was [i]Matilda[/i] taken? As she listened to Chase list out his proposals for fake identities again and read the paper he gave her, she frowned. Victoria walked over to him, tapped his shoulder to get his attention, and nodded towards the exit of the hut, leading them out so they could have a private chat. [Color=00ffff]"I noticed the distinct lack of arthurian name when you referred to yourself. By process of elimination I can only conclude that you think of yourself as Mordred... Aren't you trying a little bit too hard to put Jello's vision into existence?“[/color] She gave him a look that was both an amused smirk and an annoyed glare. [Color=00ffff]"Get a clue, clownie. This whole mission is about sticking it to an organization that ordains how people's lives should happen. If I had the time to embroil mission patches before we left, they would include the TVA logo, a raised middle finger, and the tag line would be 'Fuck destiny'. So do your part and don't submit to it, hm?"[/color] She sighed, looking at the sunset. [Color=00ffff]"Look, I have you on my radar for all of three days, and already I think you are one of the most rational and agreeable people of this lot. I kinda consider that rare and I would so hate for this subset of people to be growing smaller."[/color] Then she chuckled. [Color=00ffff]"Besides, if I hate something in stories, it is repetition and copycats. Take it from someone who had the control of her body taken away on multiple occasions: Shit gets old real quick." "Now, you weren't there for it, but we've already [b]had[/b] a traitor in our midst story with Arcade. And from what I've seen so far, I don't peg you for someone who wants their story to be a sloppy second."[/color] Victoria's eyes turned back to meet his. [Color=00ffff]"Basically... Don't be [b]that[/b] guy. So could I ask you for a favor? Next time we meet, have a different name for yourself. I'll be eagerly awaiting the introduction."[/color] she gave him a final smile, pat on the back, and went to pack her stuff up for the trip. [Color=00ffff]"I think I'll risk a flight. I don't know how fast this will progress, so there's a non-zero chance of me falling out of the sky, and it will take a chunk out of my power reserve, but I think crashing closer to the mountain is preferrable to safely malfunctioning further out."[/color] none of the options sounded good to be honest, but her armor and shell survived being slammed around like a ragdoll by Rada into a concrete wall, so taking a high speed tumble into soft sand was something she was willing to chance. [Color=00ffff]"I'm banking on a place called Everforge having enough waste heat to give me a charge boost once I'm there."[/color] Then she addressed the last risk item on her list. [Color=00ffff]"If I'm not in a state to bargain for myself once we get there..."[/color] she brought up, tearing two pieces of paper of her own and writing something on them, before handing them in Luna's and Marlena's directions, [color=00ffff]"These are my top limits unless anyone else wishes to chip in on my behalf. Past that, I'd ask to change the request to being sent back home, if that's viable."[/color] [hider=Message] Preferred request: Upgrade me to be shielded from passive effects of magic. Backup request: Figure out how I can cast my anti-magic. Alternatively, upgrade me to not lose my personality on shutdown. I know that's possible, Harkness did it once. Preferred payment: One of my multifield generators for them to do with as they please, except the units that are in my eyes. I can provide specs for the larger Mk 1 if my current ones are too miniaturized for them to do anything with. Alternatively, a sample of adamantium, but I'd need a replacement bone(s) from them as part of the deal. No bigger than a finger, and no worse replacement material than titanium. Backup payment: Up to 1 year of service, beginning once we liberate Nemo or he dies. I want veto powers on kill orders and 7 days of vacation to be taken at any time of my choosing, in one bit or separately.[/hider] [Hider=Inventory] [color=yellow]Changes since last post[/color] [b]On person:[/b] [List] [*]Armor [*]MFG set (2x eyes, 4x left hand, 4x right hand, 4x chest, 1x pocket (not active, spare)) [*]Psi-rapport blocking bracelet [color=yellow](inactive, in pocket)[/color] [*]Antique viking shield (left arm) [/list] [b]Storage module:[/b] [List] [*]Survival rations [*]First aid kit [color=yellow](Reclaimed)[/color] [*]Water filtration kit [*]Traveling clothes (3 sets) [*]Bar of soap and a bottle of degreaser [*]Pencils [*]Waterproof protective tube with her research notes and spare paper [*]Heavy duty work apron [*]Repair kit [*]Raw materials and consumables [List] [*]Hydraulic oil 2l [*]Hydraulic tube 5m + spare clamps [*]Electrical tape [*]Double insulated wire, 5m [*]Solder [*]Flex tape [*]WD-40 [*]Epoxy glue [*]Bars and wires of various materials used in her construction [/List] [/list] [/hider]
