[i]"C-Chloephina... Chloe for s-short..."[/i]
[b]She responded, not sure what he meant by safer place... She felt safer here...[/b]

[i]Xavier then suddenly started to carry Chloe.[/i] "Now then, we better get to the Dojo. You can't just survive out here without what you need. And plus, my name's Xavier."
-
[b]Her eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't argue... How could she? She was vulnerable, and she didn't know this person. Arguing might make him angry and irrational... She couldn't afford it.[/b] [i]"O-Okay..."[/i] [b]She said simply.[/b]
-
"Alright, let's go." [i]Xavier then started to walk to the Dojo gates, which was a few minutes away.[/i] "So what species are you?"
-
[i]"Elune... But it s-seems not many know o-of us..."[/i] [b]She mumbled, still not exactly comfortable with the situation...[/b]
-
"Elune? That seems interesting. Would you tell me more about your kind?" [i]Xavier seemed intent on gathering facts.[/i]
-
[b]Suddenly, she became suspicious, for once, deciding to take the conversation into her own hands.[/b] [i]"Why...?"[/i] [b]She asked simply, her eyes narrowing in concern. She felt her hands instinctively loosen in case the situation were to go sour.[/b]
-
[i]Xavier realised this, then started to think about it.[/i] "Oh right. I keep on forgetting about the fact that I sound suspicious when I ask about that sorta stuff." [i]He adjusted his glasses, which Chloe swore that she saw his glasses crack a little.[/i] "I'm a dimensional traveller, and I gather facts from each dimension and record it. I'm basically a historian."
-
[i]"Okay..."[/i] [b]She said simply, her guard not going down. She didn't understand humans... And more importantly... She didn't understand this one.[/b]
-
"You don't believe me? Well, I'd show you, but now's not the time for that." [i]Xavier then stopped, at the Dojo gates.[/i] "Because we are here.
-
[b]She sighed and looked at the new location, not exactly pleased to have been man-handled and brought somewhere unfamiliar.[/b] [i]"Can I be put down now...?"[/i] [b]She asked quietly, her demeanor never changing.[/b]
-
"Yeah, sure thing." [i]Xavier put her down gently, then started to put a finger up to his ear. He seemed to be silently talking to someone or something. A few nods and a few words later, the gate opened, revealing the Dojo. Nothing suspicious about that, at least.[/i]
-
[b]She merely watches the gate not saying anything one way or the other. At this point she almost wished Desmond was around to do something...[/b]
-
"Can you walk now? Hopefully you can at least move." [i]Xavier held out his hand to help her up.[/i]
-
[b]She looked down at her bruised and badly torn feet, the cuts and gashes still fresh.[/b] [b]With a shrug, she placed a gentle hand in his, her skin strangely soft.[/b] [b]With a heave, she brought herself up with a wince, but did not protest. She rarely did. Quickly, she slipped her hand out of his and looked at the entrance, slightly confused on what the place was supposed to be.[/b]
-
[i]Dojoville was kinda busy today. And by kinda, I mean not a lot of people. There were a few humans and other species walking around and chatting, but other than that, it was a pretty nice settlement.[/i]
-
[i]"This is where you live...?"[/i] [b]With an annoyed glance she looks at the crowd, slowly producing her umbrella from seemingly thin air, unfolding it and settling it on her shoulder. Eventually, a long black veil lowered and hid her completely, only her silhouette visible.[/b]
-
"Well, not really. I live in a more private place somewhere away from here. Follow me, there'll be less people, I promise." [i]Xavier walked to the right.[/i]
-
[b]She hesitated, before eventually following, her steps wobbly from the wounds. But she refused to complain or whimper.[/b]

Edited by Tamedfrog: 10/6/2016 7:22:08 AM[i]Their walk wasn't interrupted, before something weird happened. The air seemed to... 'Glitch', causing the sky to look like a broken mirror. Tiny, polygonal shapes started to arise from the ground like smoke. The people that were walking around seemed to have frozen, also. Even the birds in mid-flight are.[/i] "Did some fool just activate a temporal distortion?" [i]Xavier pulled out his M(agnetic) AR, scanning with it.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe said nothing, her emotion hidden under the veil. She didn't know what Xavier was saying, but she could recognize the assault rifle as a firearm... That meant danger.[/b] [i]"Something the matter...?"[/i]
-
"Yeah, someone or something is trying to mess with this dimension's reality stability. If this continues, it'll tear all of us and this place apart. Except for me, since I'm, uhhhh... Special." [i]Xavier lowered his rifle and put his fingers to his head.[/i] "Now, where would it be...?" [i]The same polygonal shapes started to come out from him as he concentrated.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe had no idea what he meant, or what was going on. She resigned to staying quiet and watching, assuming things would just figure themselves out.[/b]
-
[i]Then suddenly, some kinda ghosts appeared. Except that they looked a bit... 'Digitised' and has red eyes. They started to summon some hardlight blades and rush towards Xavier, which he started firing upon the ghosts.[/i]
-
[b]Chloe seemed slightly worried, the ground around her suddenly sprouting up to form a protective wall around her. She had little in terms of combat skills, but defense was her specialty.[/b]
-
[i]A ghost head starts to emerge from the ground, inside where Chloe's wall was.[/i]
