Personification Life - IC Part VIII [open]

[Swith Witherward]

"Pleasure, Misaki!" Chrys chimed, still clinging on. The weight and texture of her armor must have felt very uncomfortable, but Misaki didn't seem to mind. "Are you new?"

Luce observed, quietly.

"Yes," she said politely. "I'm a musician."

She stood very still, unsure of this odd woman. It had been a long time since Misaki interacted with people and she wasn't sure if she should stagger under the weight or else continue to stand straight. "Do you wish me to carry you someplace?" she ventured.

[Giovenith]

"Gosh, a whole temple, huh?" said Giovenith, gently taking the book into her hands. "That's a pretty big project... you'd have to get city permits and everything..." Not to mention oodles and oodles of moola. Giovenith didn't think she was quite physically capable or willing to force-puke that many pearls.

"Aen aalteerr woouuld bee a good plaace to staarrt... Daat ies moorre aaf soomediing I waant to fiiniish bii dee eend aaf mii liife, Giioow. Buut I woouuld oonlii maake daat ief I fiind oodeerrs whoo foolloow mii Goods." Sig said, letting her take the book. It was quite heavy, being the Norse equivalent of the Bible. "Aen aalteerr woouuld naat taake too laang to buuiild, buut I haawe yeet too fiind a plaace too buiild iet..." He was about to say more, but his attention was taken when he heard some voices that he recognized. The voices continued getting louder, as three people turned a corner onto the street of the apartment, and walking closer to the large Viking and the small godling. Sig smiled a bit, and gestured over towards the group to make sure that Gio noticed them.

The three that were walking closer were apartment residents who had not been seen in a few weeks; They were the twin personifications, Jacob and Albert, along with the prince of their nation. The Prince was lagging behind the two, who were grinning, and heading for the building happy to be back. After being gone for two weeks, they missed the friends they had made and Albert was more than a little anxious to reunite with Ray. Octavian looked a bit less enthusiastic, walking much slower than the two brothers and looking around absentmindedly. Jacob and Albert were chatting in Latin as they walked with Octavian occasionally chiming in. They had yet to notice Gio and Sig, despite walking in their direction.

"YOU GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!"

Giovenith could move shockingly fast when she was pushed to, covering the space between the two groups and practically cannon-balling herself into Albert.

"Oh my gosh, you're home, home, home!" she squealed, giving him the death hug of a bear. Jacob's turn. She tackled the other twin with no less force, and proceeded to squeeze him into jelly as well. "It's like you went over the rainbow but now you clicked your shoes and YOU'RE BACK!!"

[Urran]

"Mmm good" Yoshi said happily. "Um...d-do you want to play our violins?" he asked. He wanted to get his mind off of his new occupation.

"That would be marvelous.", Katya replied.

He smiled softly and took her hand. He began leading her back to the apartment to fetch their instruments.

[Tiltjuice]

"Pleasure, Misaki!" Chrys chimed, still clinging on. The weight and texture of her armor must have felt very uncomfortable, but Misaki didn't seem to mind. "Are you new?"

Luce observed, quietly.

"Yes," she said politely. "I'm a musician."

She stood very still, unsure of this odd woman. It had been a long time since Misaki interacted with people and she wasn't sure if she should stagger under the weight or else continue to stand straight. "Do you wish me to carry you someplace?" she ventured.

"Sometimes she does. She's very strange," Luce cut in smoothly, taking Chrys off her hands. "This shouldn't be one of those times." He smiled disarmingly.

Chrys huffed, mock-offended.

"And what brings you to town, Misaki?" Luce continued. "Are you part of an orchestra?"

[New Aksarben]

"Aen aalteerr woouuld bee a good plaace to staarrt... Daat ies moorre aaf soomediing I waant to fiiniish bii dee eend aaf mii liife, Giioow.

Jacob chuckled, and hugged Gio back. "Great to see you as well, Amice." He let go of the godling, only coughing a bit from the strength of the hug. Octavian more or less ignored the group, and continued on his way back to the building. The Prince wished to catch up with his friend, Drova. He smirked idly, remembering the fact that only a few weeks ago, Drova had told him they could never be friends again, but now, he should remember none of it. And if he did, it would be a simple matter to 'fix' his memories again.

Octavian waved to Gio, and to Sig, who had followed the godling over to the two personifications. The large viking waved to the two brothers, and gave his greeting in Norse, then remembering to say it in English, "Goood too seee yoouu twoo aagaaiin!"

Albert stood back up, after having been knocked over by Gio's happiness, along with her tackle. "Well, we did only have to walk through the portal-thing in the embassy to get back here." Albert said, smiling at Gio, and dusting himself off. "Its not that difficult to travel to our universe actually." He shrugged and then said, "Have you seen Ray recently? I dearly wish to see him again soon."

[Torsiedelle]

"That would be marvelous.", Katya replied.

He smiled softly and took her hand. He began leading her back to the apartment to fetch their instruments.

Katya smoked genuinely and followed.

....

"I guess, MB.", Torii said. "I just really wanted to see them. I don't know why, but I'm fond of them."

[Tiltjuice]

"I guess, MB.", Torii said. "I just really wanted to see them. I don't know why, but I'm fond of them."

MB pondered this for a moment, tapping the end of an ear against his chin.

Bad raptors...have a draw. It is what makes them good and bad.

[Swith Witherward]

"Sometimes she does. She's very strange," Luce cut in smoothly, taking Chrys off her hands. "This shouldn't be one of those times." He smiled disarmingly.

Chrys huffed, mock-offended.

"And what brings you to town, Misaki?" Luce continued. "Are you part of an orchestra?"

"Thank you so much," Misaki bowed once Luce had freed her. "A bus brought me to town. I'm employed to teach music to my employer's children."

She studied the pair and noted their odd attire. "Are you military? I don't believe you've shared your names with me."

[Tiltjuice]

She studied the pair and noted their odd attire. "Are you military? I don't believe you've shared your names with me."

"Ah, right, of course! I'm Luce and this is Chrys," he introduced themselves, with another apologetic little bow. "No, we're not military; we're traveling priests, actually. Here in town on business."

Chrys nodded. "There's another one of us, but she, uh, went back to being a layperson. We were just looking for her, actually."

[Urran]

Yoshi lead Katya to her apartment. He had left his violin their the last time he was over. "Um..I d-don't have a key" he said with a blush and kicked at the ground.

Chrys nodded. "There's another one of us, but she, uh, went back to being a layperson. We were just looking for her, actually."

"Priests. I see. Yes, priests in my home wear armor, too. Perhaps if you tell me your friend's name I could find her for you?"

[Torsiedelle]

Yoshi lead Katya to her apartment. He had left his violin their the last time he was over. "Um..I d-don't have a key" he said with a blush and kicked at the ground.

"No problem.", Katya said. She simply opened the door and walked in.

....

Torii tilted her head. "Whadya mean?"

[Giovenith]

Jacob chuckled, and hugged Gio back. "Great to see you as well, Amice." He let go of the godling, only coughing a bit from the strength of the hug. Octavian more or less ignored the group, and continued on his way back to the building. The Prince wished to catch up with his friend, Drova. He smirked idly, remembering the fact that only a few weeks ago, Drova had told him they could never be friends again, but now, he should remember none of it. And if he did, it would be a simple matter to 'fix' his memories again.

Octavian waved to Gio, and to Sig, who had followed the godling over to the two personifications. The large viking waved to the two brothers, and gave his greeting in Norse, then remembering to say it in English, "Goood too seee yoouu twoo aagaaiin!"

Albert said, smiling at Gio, and dusting himself off. "Its not that difficult to travel to our universe actually." He shrugged and then said, "Have you seen Ray recently? I dearly wish to see him again soon."

"He's probably somewhere in his house, I imagine," she guessed. "Oh, and your bags should be there too! I hung them on your doorknob."

[Urran]

Yoshi reached under her bed and pulled out his violin case. "So...a-are you going to make dinner tonight?" he asked "Or should I?" He held his violin at his side. He wanted to go up to the roof to play and he was sure that is where Katya wanted to go too. That is where they had played last time.

[Torsiedelle]

"I can make dinner.", Katya said. She hoisted her violin case on top of the bed and went to the other side of the room, to the kitchen area, to get ingredients.

[Tiltjuice]

"Ah, right, of course! I'm Luce and this is Chrys," he introduced themselves, with another apologetic little bow. "No, we're not military; we're traveling priests, actually. Here in town on business."

Chrys nodded. "There's another one of us, but she, uh, went back to being a layperson. We were just looking for her, actually."

"Priests. I see. Yes, priests in my home wear armor, too. Perhaps if you tell me your friend's name I could find her for you?"

Luce and Chrys exchanged looks at that news.

"Her name's Dora. She's got a lover who sometimes works in space...I think..." Chrys trailed off.

[New Aksarben]

Jacob chuckled, and hugged Gio back. "Great to see you as well, Amice." He let go of the godling, only coughing a bit from the strength of the hug. Octavian more or less ignored the group, and continued on his way back to the building. The Prince wished to catch up with his friend, Drova.

I dearly wish to see him again soon."

"He's probably somewhere in his house, I imagine," she guessed. "Oh, and your bags should be there too! I hung them on your doorknob."

"Thank you so much Gio! You are an awesome friend." Albert said happily, smiling at the godling. He waved goodbye, then ran off to go and find his boyfriend, and to get the hammerspace bag that Gio had gotten for him. "See you later, then!"

Jacob rolled his eyes a bit, then said, "Well, did anything interesting happen while we were gone these last two weeks? Things seem to change pretty rapidly around here... oh, and did anything attack the building while we were gone? That also seems to happen pretty often, right?"

[Urran]

"I can make dinner.", Katya said. She hoisted her violin case on top of the bed and went to the other side of the room, to the kitchen area, to get ingredients.

"D-do you want to play now and eat later or eat now and play later? A-and where do you want to play?" he asked. He really enjoyed Katya's cooking and he wanted to leave all of the decisions up to her.

[Torsiedelle]

"I can make dinner.", Katya said. She hoisted her violin case on top of the bed and went to the other side of the room, to the kitchen area, to get ingredients.

"D-do you want to play now and eat later or eat now and play later? A-and where do you want to play?" he asked. He really enjoyed Katya's cooking and he wanted to leave all of the decisions up to her.

"Eat now, I suppose. And we could play in the back yard, I guess ", She said. She decided to make pasta.

[Giovenith]

"He's probably somewhere in his house, I imagine," she guessed. "Oh, and your bags should be there too! I hung them on your doorknob."

"Thank you so much Gio! You are an awesome friend." Albert said happily, smiling at the godling. He waved goodbye, then ran off to go and find his boyfriend, and to get the hammerspace bag that Gio had gotten for him. "See you later, then!"

Jacob rolled his eyes a bit, then said, "Well, did anything interesting happen while we were gone these last two weeks? Things seem to change pretty rapidly around here... oh, and did anything attack the building while we were gone? That also seems to happen pretty often, right?"

"Sure does. I don't think much around that level happened, though," said Giovenith. So much usual wacky stuff happened that it was sometimes hard to keep track of. "What about you? ... You didn't have to go to war, did you?" Her face took on concern.

[The BranRiech]

There was a knock at Swith's door. It was Bran, wondering if she'd like to come over for dinner. He stood and shuffled his feet a bit as he waited.

[Urran]

"Eat now, I suppose. And we could play in the back yard, I guess ", She said. She decided to make pasta.

Yoshi nodded and sat down on the foot of the bed. he was scared, but he didn't want Katya to know it. He put up his best front and pretended not to worry.

[New Aksarben]

"Thank you so much Gio! You are an awesome friend." Albert said happily, smiling at the godling. He waved goodbye, then ran off to go and find his boyfriend, and to get the hammerspace bag that Gio had gotten for him. "See you later, then!"

Jacob rolled his eyes a bit, then said, "Well, did anything interesting happen while we were gone these last two weeks? Things seem to change pretty rapidly around here... oh, and did anything attack the building while we were gone? That also seems to happen pretty often, right?"

"Actually no. Something interesting enough happened in the last few days that it distracted them from that." Jacob said, smiling happily and his face becoming excited. His tail waved back and forth happily, showing his excitement. "We found another planet with sapient life on it! And not only one, but six species with different measures of civilization! It's amazing, and we have sent a group of people to the planet to study it in person, along with a ton of scientific equipment!" Jacob seemed incredibly excited about this, and it was evident by his enthusiastic expression, voice, and movements of his canine tail.

[Swith Witherward]

"Priests. I see. Yes, priests in my home wear armor, too. Perhaps if you tell me your friend's name I could find her for you?"

Luce and Chrys exchanged looks at that news.

"Her name's Dora. She's got a lover who sometimes works in space...I think..." Chrys trailed off.

OOC: undoing the magic and mystery one bit at a time. Saddening, in a way. < edit: that was sarcasm. *laughs*

Misaki nodded. Her mind traveled the tether and questioned. Dora was well-known to Minerva's lads as well as Klaus' men. She was respected and liked by many of them. The query traveled at the speed of a thought's breath. Dora had left recently with the Imperial Braggart's henchman (meaning the Sith's companion, of course). They'd left the planet and had been tracked by the Nifid to an Imperial ship. She was accessible. Only one heartbeat had passed in Misaki's chest before this information, and more, was relayed back to her along the tether.

Chaos was 20% showmanship and 80% deception. She pulled a small azure marble from her pocket and held it in the palm of her hand. She pretended to study it and rubbed her thumb along its smooth surface. "Your friend is on a ship not far from here. I could have a message sent to her, if you like."

[Torsiedelle]

Katya stood there, chopping vegetables and gathering the pasta noodles. "I won't use any meats, okay?", She said. "I hope you like pasta."
