Personification Life - IC Part VIII [open]

[Torsiedelle]

Dora glanced sideways at Jacob.

"Time never waits for anyone. Trust me, I know," she quipped, switching her bag to her other hand so it wasn't between them. "Coming?"

She would feel a presence behind her. Katya was standing close by, staring at the ground with nothing to say. She just felt like being near Dora. She felt bad about having to ditch Kei as well.

Torii let her eyes wander. She was looking at Gio and Blossom, wondering if she should join them. She also saw Bran and lit up. She wanted to sit by her "papa".

[Tiltjuice]

Dora glanced sideways at Jacob.

"Time never waits for anyone. Trust me, I know," she quipped, switching her bag to her other hand so it wasn't between them. "Coming?"

"Oh, sorry. I keep spacing out today." JAcob said, snapping back to focus with her words. "No idea why. I may need sleep or something.... been quite the emotionally exhausting day." He gave a small frown at the end, and picked up his bag again. He then smiled weakly and gestured for her to lead the way.

She would feel a presence behind her. Katya was standing close by, staring at the ground with nothing to say. She just felt like being near Dora. She felt bad about having to ditch Kei as well.

She gave him a sympathetic look. "Well, there's plenty of time to talk, or sleep, it off during the flight. Hey, Katya," she said, adjusting so she was between Katya and Jacob.

Behind the trio, Swith and Ogoti filed along, in that quiet yet commanding way they had.

"Miss Katya," Ogoti spoke up. "Good evening to you."

[Giovenith]

Blossom giggled and wrapped her arms around Gio in turn. "We'll be okay....I just hope that I get enough to eat." she said semi-joking.

"I'm sure you'll be fine," Giovenith smiled reassuringly, patting her back. "Is there anything you can get your food from? Some other meats, perhaps?"

[Torsiedelle]

"Good evening.", Katya replied to Ogoti. "So, you're going with us? I assume it's with Mrs. Swith?"

Meanwhile, Torii gravitated towards Gio and Blossom. She didn't want to be near the adults.

Behind the trio, Swith and Ogoti filed along, in that quiet yet commanding way they had.

"Miss Katya," Ogoti spoke up. "Good evening to you."

Jacob quickly waved to Katya, then looked back at Dora. "Yeah. I think talking or sleeping would help." Jacob replied, unintentionally giving a yawn at that. "Yeah. I think I'm pretty tired...." He chuckled at the timing, and his smile became a bit more genuine, but not by much.

[Giovenith]

Meanwhile, Torii gravitated towards Gio and Blossom. She didn't want to be near the adults.

"Hey Torii," greeted Giovenith, nodding to her approaching friend. She sighed deeply, figuring this was probably going to be especially hard for Yoshi's little "sister." "So, here we go... rather real now. How are you holding up?"

[Tiltjuice]

"Good evening.", Katya replied to Ogoti. "So, you're going with us? I assume it's with Mrs. Swith?"

"That's right. It should be quite the experience - for both sides. I expect the Urranese won't be sure what to make of us at first." Ogoti smiled.

Jacob quickly waved to Katya, then looked back at Dora. "Yeah. I think talking or sleeping would help." Jacob replied, unintentionally giving a yawn at that. "Yeah. I think I'm pretty tired...." He chuckled at the timing, and his smile became a bit more genuine, but not by much.

Dora's eyes lightened slightly, crinkling at the corners. "Well. We'll just have to get some decent seats and conk out, what?"

[Torsiedelle]

"Hey Torii," greeted Giovenith, nodding to her approaching friend. She sighed deeply, figuring this was probably going to be especially hard for Yoshi's little "sister." "So, here we go... rather real now. How are you holding up?"

"Pretty well, I guess.", Torii mumbled. "Like the other. I'm excited to see his home, but the reason...I don't wanna believe he's gone...but that happens. That's war, huh? At least it was a food way to go."

....

Katya chuckled at Ogoti's words. "Yea", She said, pounding her fist, "Me and Tora must be in uniform, perfectly. We'll let those Urranese know just who we are."

She heard Dora and Jacob and piped up, more quietly. "May I sleep with you guys, Dora? Jacob?"

[New Aksarben]

"Good evening.", Katya replied to Ogoti. "So, you're going with us? I assume it's with Mrs. Swith?"

"That's right. It should be quite the experience - for both sides. I expect the Urranese won't be sure what to make of us at first." Ogoti smiled.

Dora's eyes lightened slightly, crinkling at the corners. "Well. We'll just have to get some decent seats and conk out, what?"

"Yeah. That would probably be a good idea." Jacob responded, still smiling a bit. His tail lifted up a bit more behind him as well. He yawned again, which made him say, "Damn. I really am tired, aren't I?" One of his ears twitched at Katya's words. He didn't really think that any of that sounded off, so he shrugged and said, "Sure, why not."

[Tiltjuice]

Katya chuckled at Ogoti's words. "Yea", She said, pounding her fist, "Me and Tora must be in uniform, perfectly. We'll let those Urranese know just who we are."

She heard Dora and Jacob and piped up, more quietly. "May I sleep with you guys, Dora? Jacob?"

Ogoti bowed slightly, in acknowledgement of Katya's words, and then turned to converse quietly with Swith. Miss Katya is quite prideful.

Dora paused at that. She'd forgotten to tell Katya and Jacob about each other, even if she and Jacob were a relatively recent development.

"Sure, I suppose. And we should talk some, on the flight, too." She glanced at Jacob.

"Yeah. That would probably be a good idea." Jacob responded, still smiling a bit. His tail lifted up a bit more behind him as well. He yawned again, which made him say, "Damn. I really am tired, aren't I?" One of his ears twitched at Katya's words. He didn't really think that any of that sounded off, so he shrugged and said, "Sure, why not."

That was a good sign, at least, she thought, as she made her way out of the building to wait for a ride to the airport.

[Giovenith]

"Pretty well, I guess.", Torii mumbled. "Like the other. I'm excited to see his home, but the reason...I don't wanna believe he's gone...but that happens. That's war, huh? At least it was a good way to go."

"It seems like a scary way to go to me," responded Giovenith, but then quickly caught herself. "I-I mean, I'm sorry, it's not like it was bad, it's just... you know. I don't think I would've chosen that way, personally. I would've chosen to be comfortable, and getting to say good-bye's..." She looked down, considering. "... But I suppose I just can't really see that way. That's a big way we're different, I guess, like I've told you before. The life in relation to war is not something I have known."

"Uh, mhmm....."

What else was there to say? She didn't feel like here was much to speak of. She simply looked at the ground and followed the other girls.

[Urran]

As the group made their way outside, a black stretched limo pulled up. It Urranese flags flying on either side as this was a diplomatic vehicle. A man in dress uniform opened the back door for them to get inside. He bowed to the group and waited for them to get in. Yuri was the first to do so of course.

[The BranRiech]

"He didn't sound very stable at all, let's hope you run the country better than he can, you certainly seem qaulified to do the job." Drova said with an indignant huff. "Mmm, these "Dates" are really something."

--

Bran was still lugging his bag around when he followed Yuri outside to the Limo.

[Torsiedellious and Sturmovosk]

"Talking sounds nice.", Katya said. "Yea, we could keep each other busy and whatnot. Make it an interesting flight..."

.....

[Tiltjuice]

"Talking sounds nice.", Katya said. "Yea, we could keep each other busy and whatnot. Make it an interesting flight..."

.....

"That could be taken in quite a lot of ways," Dora pointed out. She paused for Swith and Ogoti and Gio and Jacob to get in, and then took a seat next to them.

[Urran]

Blossom slipped inside of the limo and shifted into a cat, curling up on her duffle bag. She purred softly, quite content.

Yuri sighed with content as well as the door closed behind all of them. "Well, off to the airport I guess" the limo sped down the street, flags flapping wildly in the wind.

[Swith Witherward]

Ogoti bowed slightly, in acknowledgement of Katya's words, and then turned to converse quietly with Swith. Miss Katya is quite prideful.

Dora paused at that. She'd forgotten to tell Katya and Jacob about each other, even if she and Jacob were a relatively recent development.

"Sure, I suppose. And we should talk some, on the flight, too." She glanced at Jacob.

"Katya's a pain in the ass," Swith conveyed to him, "But her personality has grown on me. I like her." She winked at her brother before gathering the loose fabric wrapped around her and climbing into the vehicle.

[Urran]

As the limo moved along, Yuri became restless. She was eager to get home and see the damage for herself. She leaned back in her seat, facing Swith. She shut her eyes and waited, the trip to the airport wouldn't take but a few minutes and the ride was smooth.

[Swith Witherward]

As the limo moved along, Yuri became restless. She was eager to get home and see the damage for herself. She leaned back in her seat, facing Swith. She shut her eyes and waited, the trip to the airport wouldn't take but a few minutes and the ride was smooth.

Swith smiled at the personification. She had no way of knowing what she was feeling or thinking, but Swith could slip herself into Yuri's shoes. She imagined returning home to Gliese after the war was over... eager to behold all the places she loved most, but worried about the state of those places and the people. Urran wouldn't be wearing its best dress, no thanks to the BranRiech, and bringing guests along would cause Swith to fret over appearances.

"Yuri," she spoke softly, "How go the restoration efforts? Was there much damage to the cities and national parks? Is there anything we can do to help mend the scars?"

[Torsiedelle]

The sisters took a minute to get comfortable in their seats. Katya made sure to sit by Torii, and near Dora.

"That could be taken in quite a lot of ways," Dora pointed out.

"Yea, I guess it could!", Katya shot back with a wicked grin. Her and Torii both chuckled. Such a thing being said by Katya seemed pretty rare. At least they were in good spirits.

"Hehehe", Katya kept chuckling, "Well, at least we're in a good mood, huh..."

[The BranRiech]

At the question of restoration, Bran started looking ashamed again, over his nationality. He knew he didn't have anything to do with it, but he still felt sick over the question.

He shrunk into his seat, looking down at his feet.

[Swith Witherward]

At the question of restoration, Bran started looking ashamed again, over his nationality. He knew he didn't have anything to do with it, but he still felt sick over the question.

He shrunk into his seat, looking down at his feet.

Swith's foot gently prodded his shin. She tilted her head to regard Bran, an understanding expression on her face. She shuffled over to squeeze in beside him, playfully bumping the person next to him to budge over to make space for her.

"Alright, Bran?" she asked as she slipped her hand into his. "The greatest gift you can give Yoshi is to be an example of peace by going on this trip. You've seen so much strife in your life. You know just how bad it can get. I think it's very noble of you to want to make this journey. Yoshi would be so proud of you. I am."

[Urran]

Swith smiled at the personification. She had no way of knowing what she was feeling or thinking, but Swith could slip herself into Yuri's shoes. She imagined returning home to Gliese after the war was over... eager to behold all the places she loved most, but worried about the state of those places and the people. Urran wouldn't be wearing its best dress, no thanks to the BranRiech, and bringing guests along would cause Swith to fret over appearances.

"Yuri," she spoke softly, "How go the restoration efforts? Was there much damage to the cities and national parks? Is there anything we can do to help mend the scars?"

She opened her eyes and smiled softly at Swith. She was humbled that someone as important and powerful as her would care for her and her small island nation. After all, wasn't she capable of wiping out entire planets if need be? "Numerous coastal fishing villages were damaged or leveled. Damage to any major cities was relatively lite. I suppose we are lucky in that respect....What can you do to help? Anything that you want. It would be wrong of me to ask for your help, but as long as you are offering, you may see the damage and do what you think is right."

[Primordial Luxa]

Natiya followed along and surveyed the workshop, seemed pretty conventional. She knew it wasn't though, not when dealing with Primordial or any of the Luxans.

"I can help, sure thing."

He looked at her his smiles leaving his face but not his eyes “Liven up a little it not every day you get to save the world. We only get to do it once or twice a month” he said jokingly.

Primordial began working with a collection of glass shards he had gather up off the ground, while vocally requesting his computer create more of them which it responded to by powering up the Nanite banks. He set about each one with a strange multi-pronged device that sparked with strangely colored energies like a beam of northern lights. He took his time touching it gently and deftly to one side of each fragment and on contact with the glass it turned the surface into a radiant polished surface that was inlaid with bright colors like the surface of gasoline. Once he was done he began working on a series of electronic components creating a tight bundle of multi-dimensional magnets and trans-organic flesh conduits. He spent most of his time refining this piece adding comical amounts of glue and melding fats to compensate for a lack of materials.

Primordial had given Natiya the task of creating a series of liquid chemicals to submerge the glass in at one of the workstations in the lab, and the instructions he gave her were simple but not patronizing. She started by submerging a small creature into an ornate vase of black bubbling tar like liquid. The critter was only a few inches long with the appearance of a strangely birdlike shrimp that was very much against the idea of being drowned and after brief struggle Natiya had forced into the pot before closing the lid. When she opened it back up the black liquid had become perfectly see through and a set of greyish bones where now floating in the pot. The instructions then called for several different chemicals to be added in a variety of ways, however not all of the ingredients were labeled causing Natiya to improvise, some were drained of their inhabitants while other where transformed into sound waves before changing back into liquids.
