Personification Life - IC Part VIII [open]

[Urran]

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

"Yes, I do" he said happily. "Chicken or seafood would be fine. I-I'm kinda fond of pigeon. But if you don't want to use meats that's fine too"

[Giovenith]

"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.

"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.

"Really?! That's amazing!" exclaimed Giovenith. "Congratulations! I mean, wow, from going to war to learning, what a trade off! I bet your positivity totally influenced the Flow or something!" She patted his arm. "Three cheers! Yippe! Yippe! Yippe!"

"What is the Flow?" Jacob questioned, not familiar with the term. "And I am very happy! What we already know about the species on the planet is very interesting, especially since they are so varied and strange looking. We even know of a species that look like centaurs! More or less.... I love to learn new things, and especially about the wider universe! And finding so many different forms intelligent life so far away from Terra is amazing!"

[Germanic Templars]

His eyes settled on Karl and then drifted to the two Gestapo Oberleutnant in uniform (Aleki and Natiya) before roving back to the loud-mouthed cultist. Bone fragments exploded from the back of Karl's skull as the shot rang out. Richter holstered his pistol. He'd drawn too fast for even cultist eyes to glimpse. Karl dropped to the floor and was carried away by bar staff.

The Obergruppenführer crossed the room and sat down at Natiya and Aleki's table. The music started up again and Otto returned to his own drink. "Good evening," Richter amicably greeted his senior lieutenants. "It's good to know Tze had sent forces ahead of me."

Klaus had not so much as blinked during the entire exchange.

Through the whole ordeal, from the moment they sat down to the Obergruppenfuhrer, Aleki remained silent and watched. Even when Natiya spoke - he watched. He kept his hands folded together and elbows rested on the table. He also had a certain look in his eyes that tend to show a bit of apathy and a possible mix of tiredness, even though he wasn't really tired.

[Tiltjuice]

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."

"Would it be possible to send someone to retrieve her, actually?" Luce put in.

[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."

"Yes, I do" he said happily. "Chicken or seafood would be fine. I-I'm kinda fond of pigeon. But if you don't want to use meats that's fine too"

"Okay.", Katya smiled. She put on some water in the pot.

[Swith Witherward]

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.

Swith opened the door expecting Minerva. Her frown turned into a smile when she saw Bran. "Where have you been?" she asked as she wrapped him into a tight hug. "How's Rylli?"

She didn't want to mention that she wasn't herself last night. For one, it disturbed her that she could be used so easily by Atosh... and he could have harmed the family by using her matrix. For another, she'd only just got back from the events of that day.

"Of course," Misaki replied.



And Will skittered along the innards of the ship, flitting here and there and roaming in general as he sought out the woman. He turned a corner and avoided armored clones marching along, and then looked in a more likely area. He spotted her and...

"Psst! Hey, Dora!" a voice hissed from the shadow caused by her arm.

[Germanic Templars]

"All of that sums it up. Oh how about two out door chairs for the balcony?"

"Yes, and a little round table to go with them? Coffee in the mornings would be nice."

She looked at the various items on display and then back at Lucius. "Thank God you're sensible. It's nice knowing I'll be staying with someone who doesn't spend their time summoning the dark forces of nature or else plotting to destroy the world."

"Well assuming you consider part of death a dark force, then I could summon that but that is a pain in its own. Plus I am instructed to help save the world from other worldly or more specifically, things that either don't have souls, which would be the Drone Empire, or supernatural creatures that want to kill/enslave all life, that would be forces like hell and maybe leaders or your group... Anyway, a nice round table sounds fancily nice."

[Tiltjuice]

"Of course," Misaki replied.

The PI turned slightly. She began to reply, but saw Ozzall hadn't opened his mouth.

"Who's there?" she hissed back.

(OOC - Back in a bit!)

[Urran]

"Yes, I do" he said happily. "Chicken or seafood would be fine. I-I'm kinda fond of pigeon. But if you don't want to use meats that's fine too"

"Okay.", Katya smiled. She put on some water in the pot.

Yoshi crossed his legs and started twiddling his thumbs. He didn't want to intrude by stealing Katya's TV or snooping through her stuff. He just sat there on the bed and stared at the floor.

[The BranRiech]

Bran blushed and let himself be embraced by one of his better friends. "She's fine!" He chuckled reassuringly and pried himself from her. "I was actually wondering if you wanted to join us for dinner." He said and scratched his head.

[Swith Witherward]

"Well assuming you consider part of death a dark force, then I could summon that but that is a pain in its own.

Anyway, a nice round table sounds fancily nice."

"How about this one?" Xanthe pointed out a simple wicker thing with a glass top. "And you haven't brought your work home, so all's good.

---

"I didn't say 'knock knock'," the voice hissed. "But if you insist... knock knock. Now then, you're urgently needed back on Earth. Luce's looking for you." Although Will spoke from the shadow, his tone was so low that he couldn't be heard by Ozzall.

Without so much as a "please" or "may I?" a strong hand reached out from the shadow and clasped onto Dora's wrist. In the blink of an eye, she was yanked downward into her own shadow which vanished the moment she did.

A small note popped into existence and fluttered onto Ozzall's head.

Dear Ozzall,
Emergency Back Home!
Will Return Her ASAP.
Unless You Want To Come Home Too.
~ Kind Regards, William.

The journey back to Earth was... freakish. Will was a Brit who happened to love science fiction. As such, he contrived the illusion of a Tardis to travel in as well as some traveling music. It went swimmingly until they were nearly struck by the names of two actors and then the gigantic, spinning DOCTOR WHO placard nearly decapitated them, but within 40 seconds the police box churned into existence on the lawn right behind Misaki (her shadow) and the door popped open.

"Well 'ello! Someone looking for a bird named Dora?" Will asked as he gently pushed the P.I. out the door.

"I'd love to," Swith said to Bran. Let me leave a note for Thriller and tell Chi I'm going out."

She hastily scrawled said note...

Dearest Love,
Gone downstairs for dinner with Bran and Fam.
The children are asleep and the dogs have been walked and fed.
See you in a little bit.
~ Love, Swith

PS If Minerva turns up, make sure she has Natiya and Aleki in tow.
Don't ask. I'll explain later.

She taped the note to their door and followed Bran down the stairs.

OOC: dang. Pulled out the long lines for this post!

"Simple, stylish, I like it. And I don't have to bring home with me, work comes to me, now and then."

It would still be a while when Thriller would return home, mainly due to Thriller being dragged into a surprised test trail of on of Levi's invention.

[The BranRiech]

He led the way entirely down to the Fallout shelter. She would find it entirely familiar, as he punched in the code and slid open the huge door. He threw off his shoes on a little mat by the control room and daintily stepped over into the next room, the living room that led to the dining room. Rylli was seated next to Tolya, who was in a booster seat. "Hello, Swith." She greeted cheerfully, gesturing for a seat nearby as Bran went into the kitchen proper to get their food.

[Swith Witherward]

"If by work you mean your colleagues, I don't mind," Xanthe answered truthfully. "Samael's not so bad once you get to know him. The other Deaths aren't bad either."

She added a few bookcases to their order and then pulled out her debit card. "Go halfsies?" she asked. Unlike Swith, Xanthe actually knew how to handle finances without overspending herself.

--

"Hiya Rylli," Swith smiled.

"There he is," she cooed at Tolya. She lowered herself a bit and pretended to nom on his little hands. "Who's our handsome little fellow?" she asked him, and then laughed.

[Torsiedelle]

"Okay.", Katya smiled. She put on some water in the pot.

Yoshi crossed his legs and started twiddling his thumbs. He didn't want to intrude by stealing Katya's TV or snooping through her stuff. He just sat there on the bed and stared at the floor.

"Make yourself at home!", Katya said. She was underway, cooking dinner.

[The BranRiech]

Tolya giggled incessantly and thre his hands up in the air to get them away from Swith, because she obviously wanted to eat his hands, with his reasoning. Rylli giggled as well, and then silently waited for Dinner.

Bran came out a few minutes later with some sandwiches, BLT's, as well as bowls of Miso soup made by Yoshi as side dishes. "Eat up, everyone!" He smiled and sat down. "So I heard dogs, Swith, what's the story with that?" He asked.

[Urran]

"Make yourself at home!", Katya said. She was underway, cooking dinner.

Yoshi laid back and flipped on the TV. The news was depressing as usual. The BranRiech and made landfall and were being engaged by Urranese air and ground forces. Mainly in the form of Eurofighters, M2 IFV's, Stryker APCs and K2 Black Panther tanks. "H-how aweful!" Yoshi exclaimed, he didn't even think about the fact that that was what he was going into.

"Eh, I only have gold coins.. Say how about I pay, you save money. Sound clean?

"He's so beautiful," Swith sighed as she sat down.

She bit into her sandwich and savored the bacony flavor. "Mmmm, yep," she swallowed. "Thriller and I thought it would be nice to have a dog around. We both like German Shepherds, but then I saw the cutest mutt at the pet store. The lady was giving her away. Oh, she just stole my heart. And then we saw a white German Shepherd, and he was perfect. We took both. You should have seen them running around once we got home! Insanity at its best, you know. I think they actually wore the twins out."

She took another bite. "Anyway, I'm glad you stopped by. Thriller's out with Levi, and I needed to take my mind off work. This was a nice idea, Bran."

--

Xanthe crinkled her nose at Lucius. "Alright, but then I get to buy dinner. I'll even cook it for us."

[The BranRiech]

"Thanks, we're very proud of the other." Rylli bowed her head and continued eating as Bran listened about their dogs. "We still have Laika around here, someplace. She comes and goes whenever she feels like it." He chuckled and sipped at his soup. "Mmm, you know? Yoshi made this soup for us." He said.

[Swith Witherward]

She comes and goes whenever she feels like it." He chuckled and sipped at his soup. "Mmm, you know? Yoshi made this soup for us." He said.

"How is he doing?" Swith asked. "He was collecting interviews last I saw of him. I've been meaning to find him to ask him how the process is going. Then again, he's hard to find. He's usually with Tora's older sister, I believe."

[Torsiedelle]

"Make yourself at home!", Katya said. She was underway, cooking dinner.

Yoshi laid back and flipped on the TV. The news was depressing as usual. The BranRiech and made landfall and were being engaged by Urranese air and ground forces.

Katya ignored the news and continued cooking. She finished and put the pasta onto a large plate for Yoshi. She made her own plate and brought them over to Yoshi.

[Urran]

Yoshi quickly changed the channel and took a plate. He looked visibly shaken. But he was hungry. He smiled at Katya. "It smells wonderful"

[Germanic Templars]

Xanthe crinkled her nose at Lucius. "Alright, but then I get to buy dinner. I'll even cook it for us."

"You're saving your money, I will sacrifice my coinage to get us some nice food." He replied with a grin.
