The Liquid Wallaby - Meanwhile, in the East (Closed)

[Torrocca]

Torr stops whatever he's doing, puts down his stuff, and goes to the door. He opens it and looks outside.

There, standing outside Torr's door, a familiar face smiled back at him. She stood with her hands crossed in front of her, holding a rather large book. It was Ira, clad in a magnificent gold and white garb, that resembled something of a cross between clergy robes and a dress. Her personage seemed to glow in the dim light.

"Hello, Torr," said Ira.

Torr just blinks for a couple of seconds, before stepping from his room and embracing Ira in a warm, welcoming hug. "Ira!" he exclaims with joy, "it's been a long time! What happened? Where've you been?"

[Ava Ire]

Ava didn't bother looking at the man. "Because I'm an evil alien, that's why."

Lars shrugged and looked back at his drink. "We've been getting a lot of those recently, it seems. Jeez, when I got sent here I was hoping I wouldn't have a lot to do. Unfortunately... That's not the case."

Ava finally looked at him. "What were you sent here to do?"

Ira was a bit surprised by the hug, but welcomed it nonetheless. "Oh Torr! It's so great to see you as well!" She returned the embrace. "I know, it's been too long. I've been away on mission trips," she said, "you wouldn't believe the planets I've been to of late. Oh, and more importantly, I was rescued, but I never got a chance to say goodbye to you! So, now that I'm here with a certain ambassador, I thought it a good idea to come and see you!"

"Ah, sounds like you certainly had fun," Torr replies, letting go slightly to give Ira some breathing room. "I'm just glad you're back, though. Here, come in!" He pushes the door behind him wide open and gestures for her to enter the room.

Ira gave a nod. "Thank you." She stepped in, glancing around his apartment. "Well, I must say, this is quite a fancy residence, Torr."

"Ah, thank you, Ira," Torr says, closing the door behind them. "It's... uh... quite modest for a king, but I'm not really one for royalty anyway," he mentions, then heads to the kitchen while asking, "care for a drink?"

Ira took a seat on a rather large sofa. "A drink? Ah, yes please, any kind will do." She set her book down, which gave off a bit of dust. She took off her shawl. "So, Torr, I must ask, how's your kingdom holding up?"

Torr nods and gets some glasses for the two of them. From in the kitchen he answers, "ah, the kingdom is holding up quite well. We've actually spent the past few months making quite the gains, thanks largely to my heir who's been ruling as regent. We've actually set forth a manned mission to Mars as well." He leaves the kitchen with a couple of drinks in hand; red wine for the both of them. He takes his seat next to her, sets the glasses down, and asks, "how have things been within your empire?"

Drake goes to them offering drinks and then proceeds to poke the model.

Kyrati hisses. "Don't poke that, you'll interfere with the shaping fields."

'Oh? I'm sorry. Thirsty or hungry? Or you rather I just go.'

"I am planning a grand project. If you know what a space elevator entails, join us.

Wow fur wearing fur. I like it.

'Hmm just a lot of material, hours and whatever can handle extreme fluctuation of temperature, pressure and speed. Other than that nothing else.'

"Easily overcome considering we have four already in place on Thessia. I'm planning one for Miyesmos. That worlds' terraforming is finally complete."

'Well then that's good. Wait isn't that the one that had problems? Or was that a different one?'

"Shi'era has an entire fleet in place there. The rebels shouldn't be a problem In Arcadia."

'Well that is good and seems like a waste of a fleet but eh that's your problem and not mine.'

"Those savages nearly destroyed the colony's protective hardlight barriers years ago. If the High Fleet Admiral wants to put the colony under military rule, she is within her authority to do so."

'Oh, well then that is a good reason but is it just them on the planet?'

'Oh, well then that is a good reason but is it just them on the planet?'

"Well she wants to defend the innocent colonists.....and anyone that tries to kill them are perminantly on her...and likely Neyla's shitlist....in fact if you aren't an anthro feline like Neyla is and you rebel, Neyla will just outright eat you."

'Eh she already eats me though least I recall I think two times but that is not what you mean. So only colonists no rebels on planet?'

"If there are any rebels left, they'll underground and thus shielded from orbital scanning.....either way, they know they won't survive any kind of pitched battle as long as Shi'era's fleet is there. As far as your relationship with the empress, if you favor becoming part of her, that's your prerogative."

[Lucid People]

The yet-unnamed Thing stretched luxuriously. Orange lips split apart to accommodate a grin from pointed teeth, and the Lucid hissed quietly at the smoldering embers decorating the earth at their feet. Smoke was inhaled and some raw meat of dubious origin was swallowed, but they did not linger in solitude for long. Blue-grey flesh was concealed in an instant by a shell of black material not unlike bone or chitin. Two massive, orange eyes blinked into existence on the surface of their "head", and a perfectly flat orange line formed where one's mouth was typically located.

Minutes later, the little horned beast pushed their way into the Liquid Wallaby again. "Hhhh."

Ava looked down, and noticed the little horned beast as it made its way into the Wallaby. She raised an eyebrow.
"Why, hello again. Are you some sort of spirit?"
