Personification Life - IC Part V

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"But I wasn't there to stop them. What happened? Did they hurt her?" Fortu asked.

"Fortu, you don't stop people like them. We don't know all the details yet. Apparently, she was fine right up until she got caught up in her own rescue. I suppose she didn't duck? We'll have her patched up and shove her back into a human form in a day or so. She won't remember any of it."

"Well, I'm not sure if knowing or not knowing is worse. But I'm glad she is okay." Fortu said.

[Bone Fort]

"I can confirm with confidence that this is not a sign of war, but because I live here with the Empress temporarily, we need to ensure security of the area. If any of our personell are abusing their priveleges of serving here, please let me know immedietely. I can ensure that the city is still independent and that we are only in the area for peacekeeping and security reasons."

"As I said, no one asked you to be here. International law doesn't work that way, admiral. You can't just send an army into another nation like that. And we are asking you to leave. Please. Leave. You immigrated here legally, so you can stay along with any others that wish to immigrate here legally, but housing an army here is completely against the law and they must go."

[Germanic Templars]

"First off, i'm sure he won't be angry, second i'm sure so he'll be back to his normal self... Lets get out of here, place is depressing when quiet." *He cut open a portal and stepped aside for Blythe*

__

"Well if you didn't hear me earlier, his name is Levi, Levi Thriller."

"Thank you," Blythe stepped through the portal.

--

"That's right. Why on earth did I space that out?" Sutra mused. She hopped up to where she'd seen Levi disappear. To him, it would look like Swith, no longer pregnant, had come to visit.

*he stepped through with the portal closing behind him.* "You're welcome."

---

*Levi was clinging against the wall whist welding some pipes together and cursing up a storm to himself.*

[The BranRiech]

"As I said, no one asked you to be here. International law doesn't work that way, admiral. You can't just send an army into another nation like that. And we are asking you to leave. Please. Leave. You immigrated here legally, so you can stay along with any others that wish to immigrate here legally, but housing an army here is completely against the law and they must go."

"It is not up to me to discuss these matters further, bring it up with the Empress." Bran lied, simply wanting the man to leave. "Then complain to the US, they have military bases all over the world, is there a way we could recieve permission to stay?"

[Swith Witherward]

"Fortu, you don't stop people like them. We don't know all the details yet. Apparently, she was fine right up until she got caught up in her own rescue. I suppose she didn't duck? We'll have her patched up and shove her back into a human form in a day or so. She won't remember any of it."

"Well, I'm not sure if knowing or not knowing is worse. But I'm glad she is okay." Fortu said.

"Me too," Naomi said. She kissed Fortu's snout. "Alright, I've got to check on Swith. Stay as long as you need. I'll let the security system know you're down here."

She left. Monique sighed in her sleep and clasped Fortu's hand a bit.

--

Minerva watched Sutra disappear inside the gun. "Gods bless her, but she's more curious than Swith ever was," the cultist laughed softly.

--

Blythe looked around the lobby. "Well, home sweet home," she smiled at Lucius. "I suppose you'll be getting on to whatever work you have now?"

--

Sutra hovered inches behind him. "Hello Levi," Swith's voice said near his ear. She stared at the weld without blinking.

[Bone Fort]

"It is not up to me to discuss these matters further, bring it up with the Empress." Bran lied, simply wanting the man to leave. "Then complain to the US, they have military bases all over the world, is there a way we could recieve permission to stay?"

"The US received permission to set up those bases. You did not. And we will not give you permission. We don't want a Branreich base on our soil. Can you please direct me to your Empress then?"

[Germanic Templars]

Blythe looked around the lobby. "Well, home sweet home," she smiled at Lucius. "I suppose you'll be getting on to whatever work you have now?"

--

Sutra hovered inches behind him. "Hello Levi," Swith's voice said near his ear. She stared at the weld without blinking.

"What's that, nothing?" *he chuckled.*

"Hey... Can I help you with something?" *He asked, not even paying attention to her.*

[The BranRiech]

"The US received permission to set up those bases. You did not. And we will not give you permission. We don't want a Branreich base on our soil. Can you please direct me to your Empress then?"

Bran nodded and tapped on an earpiece.

"She's downstairs, but she's about to depart back to the homeland for the night. Can this wait until tomorrow? You of all people should know that our base was recently attacked, you must give us time to recover before we move."

[Swith Witherward]

"What's that, nothing?" *he chuckled.*

"Hey... Can I help you with something?" *He asked, not even paying attention to her.*

Blythe playfully cupped her ear with her hand, "Did you say 'nothing'?" She grinned. "Say that again... because seeing you do nothing except enjoy a moment of life makes me very happy."

--

"What are you working on? What is the purpose of this device?" Sutra asked.

[Giovenith]

Having successfully squirmed away from Tsu's grip, Giovenith made her way back to the apartment, trying not to track too much mud in the halls.

[Bone Fort]

Bran nodded and tapped on an earpiece.

"She's downstairs, but she's about to depart back to the homeland for the night. Can this wait until tomorrow? You of all people should know that our base was recently attacked, you must give us time to recover before we move."

"NO. We are sick of your base and all the trouble it is causing. We want a resolution to this problem as soon as possible... That's not to say we expect you all to magically disappear overnight. We understand the logistical problems of moving an army of such size around, so you'll have time to handle all that. We just want an answer at least so we know how to proceed in the future."

[The BranRiech]

We understand the logistical problems of moving an army of such size around, so you'll have time to handle all that. We just want an answer at least so we know how to proceed in the future."

"Can I see your credentials?" Bran asked, somewhat demanding the man's identity. "And no, I can't agree to anything right now."

[Bone Fort]

"Can I see your credentials?" Bran asked, somewhat demanding the man's identity. "And no, I can't agree to anything right now."

The man showed his credentials. It's legit, he is a representative of the city.

"I understand you don't have the authority. I thank you for your time and your help, what little you gave. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be going to speak with your Empress."

The man went downstairs to find Kei.

[Germanic Templars]

"What's that, nothing?" *he chuckled.*

"Hey... Can I help you with something?" *He asked, not even paying attention to her.*

Blythe playfully cupped her ear with her hand, "Did you say 'nothing'?" She grinned. "Say that again... because seeing you do nothing except enjoy a moment of life makes me very happy."

--

"What are you working on? What is the purpose of this device?" Sutra asked.

"Okay fine, i'm doing nothing... except relaxing."

---

"Not working, repairing. And this device is a gun. It's meant to destroy shit at far range or in space. Recently that jackass of a tech priest came in here and installed an organ to help increase the power of the gun. It worked but now i'm the one fixing it."

[Swith Witherward]

"Okay fine, i'm doing nothing... except relaxing."

---

"Not working, repairing. And this device is a gun. It's meant to destroy shit at far range or in space. Recently that jackass of a tech priest came in here and installed an organ to help increase the power of the gun. It worked but now i'm the one fixing it."

"Ha!" Blythe rejoiced. She bumped his hip with her own. "That's our Feathers!" She looked him over. "Except you look like you just walked out of a blood bath."

--

"An organ," Sutra chuckled. "A musical weapon? Who do you worship?"

[The BranRiech]

The man showed his credentials. It's legit, he is a representative of the city.

"I understand you don't have the authority. I thank you for your time and your help, what little you gave. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be going to speak with your Empress."

The man went downstairs to find Kei.

As Bran's user needed to go to bed, all of his respective characters had either left for the night, or had gone to bed.

Kei pooled herself into the ornate pool where she spent her nights in the giant palace, the goo that made her conforming to the shape exactly, the human female that her people saw as her public face. Most of them accepted what she was though, a few spoke out, but nothing would come of it due to the new free-speech laws that her children had been kept from for years.

OOC: Night.

[Bone Fort]

The man, unable to find Kei, left a note at the front desk asking her to contact the city a soon as possible. He then departed, but he would be back. He loved his city, and he would do whatever it takes to protect it and its people.

[Germanic Templars]

"Okay fine, i'm doing nothing... except relaxing."

--

"An organ," Sutra chuckled. "A musical weapon? Who do you worship?"

"Me?" *He looked down at his bottom* "Tis just a scratch!"

---

"I worship no one, nor do I desire to. Listen if you want to know more about it ask that damn tech priest, Bebop, Boxtop, Barox or whatever his name is."

[Swith Witherward]

"Me?" *He looked down at his bottom* "Tis just a scratch!"

---

"I worship no one, nor do I desire to. Listen if you want to know more about it ask that damn tech priest, Bebop, Boxtop, Barox or whatever his name is."

Blythe reached over and gingerly lifted his wing. The feathers were no longer pristine. "Um... missed a spot?" She then stared at the portion of the wing in her hand. "Oh! Soft! Better than fur!"

--

Sutra returned to Thriller's side. "Your tech priest pleases me with his sound weapon," she said.

[Germanic Templars]

"Me?" *He looked down at his bottom* "Tis just a scratch!"

"I worship no one, nor do I desire to. Listen if you want to know more about it ask that damn tech priest, Bebop, Boxtop, Barox or whatever his name is."

--

Sutra returned to Thriller's side. "Your tech priest pleases me with his sound weapon," she said.

"Really now?" *he started lightly brushing his wing against her face.*

---

"Well, it's not a sound weapon to say, it more or less is just a decoration to say."

[Swith Witherward]

"Really now?" *he started lightly brushing his wing against her face.*

---

"Well yea, you can thank him or Thriller down there, he's not my problem."

Blythe laughed and pressed her face against it. "Better than fur." She lowered her voice and added, "But I won't tell a soul. Heaven doesn't need people taking down angels for their feathers."

--

"Who is Boxtop... Bebop... or whatever his name is so I may think him?" Sutra asked Thriller.

[Tiltjuice]

Katya was about to reach for her pack of smokes, but stopped. She sat quiet for a minute. She thought about everything that had happened since she first "met" her sister.

"You know.....you and Kei.....especially you...I respect and look up to you guys a lot."

"Awshucks," Dora replied lightly. "It comes with our jobs. I'm a cop, she's an empress...and so on. There's something to be learned from everybody though."

[Germanic Templars]

"Really now?" *he started lightly brushing his wing against her face.*

---

"Well yea, you can thank him or Thriller down there, he's not my problem."

Blythe laughed and pressed her face against it. "Better than fur." She lowered her voice and added, "But I won't tell a soul. Heaven doesn't need people taking down angels for their feathers."

--

"Who is Boxtop... Bebop... or whatever his name is so I may thank him?" Sutra asked Thriller.

"Oh it's fine, we're taught to accept humiliation."

---

"Vitellius Barox? I could call him if need be."

[Swith Witherward]

"Oh it's fine, we're taught to accept humiliation."

---

"Vitellius Barox? I could call him if need be."

"Accepting humiliation is one thing... being hunted for these beautiful feathers is something different," Blythe said. She had pressed her face into his wingtip and was petting the feathers.

--

"Do you frequently fashion sonic weapons?" Sutra asked Thriller. "And yes, I would love to meet him." She obviously had the wrong impression about the rail gun.

*He wrapped a wing around her and started to playfully pat her with it.*

---

"He's on his way now. And by sonic you mean a weapon on where sound waves themselves do damage? Yea we have a gun like that but we never or rarely use it for multiple reasons."
