"Ah."
The figure sat down, stirring her tea slowly. She had straight black hair and orange eyes, the pupils were strangely slits, cat-like.
"Just run of the mill problems?"
English
-
"Ehh not quite. Recently old Lord Tekko died off. Waiting for an escort to the island of the Second Swordsman" She takes a quick look at the time on her phone and tucks it back in her pocket. "Still have a while."
-
"Second Swordsmen? Wha?" She seemed confused, taking a sip of her tea, raising an eyebrow. "Sounds badass. Shame that a guy died tho. Unless he was a tyrant or something."
-
"Oh right, sorry I spent an entire year with them so I tend to forget they aren't that we'll known. Anyways they are quite similar to the dojo in a lot of ways. They are a warrior clan of great fighters though they are strong practitioners of peace and harmony. They train to protect rather than to cause harm. Lord Tekko is the Lord of the island. Well was Lord of the island." As she is speaking a very ornate carriage pulled by a pair of black stalions appears with a man in black armor standing at its side. "Well then. Guess they got here earlier. They do enjoy guests so if you want to come along they probably would let you."
-
"Sure. I got nothing better to do." She drained her tea, tossing the cup expertly into the trash can. "Name's Val."
-
"Ah I'm Ama" Walking up to the carriage the man's expression changes to a more pleasant expression. It is a young man seeming to glow with confidence. [u]"Ama! It's been some time."[/u] "Yeah probably a year. You made it on the escort squad?" [u]"of course I did! I simply told myself no wasn't an option."[/u] "Well congrats. Oh this is Kabuto by the way" [u]A pleasure ma'am[/u] The man speaks vigorously with every word.
-
[b]She gave a polite wave, uncertain as to how to act.[/b]
-
The man opens the door to the carriage letting them inside. In a short time they begin to move. A window on the front opens. [u]"So guess you heard the news"[/u] "Yeah, old man Tekko recently passed. His son recently told me about that" [u]"aye the old Lord has passed. We're celebrating pretty soon. Even a week ago he was personally training the young. Can't wait to see the challengers. I hear Tekko's son spent the entire week training non-stop![/u] "Heh I keep forgetting you guys look at this as a celebration. Probably should give you a heads up Val for a bunch or warriors they like to party a lot."
-
"I could get used to that." [b]She grunted, relaxing in her seat. She still had her dragonskin hood up, with pants of the same material a close fit on her legs.[/b] "So Ama... You use a weapon of some sort?"
-
Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 10/16/2016 7:07:02 PM"A cross between nanoeds and my plant traits. I'm part plant which seems to give me control over a variety of plants." An apple appears within her hand "As for the nanoeds they are pretty useful since they can form into most weaponry. Learned a few tricks from these guys when I visited. they are amazing with a sword"
-
"That's cool." [b]She grinned.[/b] "So you could, like, form a sword from thorns?"
-
"Yup, I'd hate to admit it but the lab that made me definitely did a good job creating me. I do have to wear a restriction to keep from unintentionally causing plants to exponentially grow around me. Luckily I made this smaller one to wear for formal events though I probably overdressed for this."
-
"Oh. That has to suck."
-
"Lived with it so I guess it's pretty normal to me. Anyways any kind of weaponry of your own? Unique abilities?"
-
"I-I would rather not, if you don't mind." [b]She replied cooly, crossing her legs and tilting her head back.[/b] "I am an Axion Sect though. Basically we're cat humans, except that I'm a halfling and look more like a human. I was placed in a Zaveris monastery, which is basically our version of combat... although I'm not sure assassination is all that honorable."
-
"Ah. It's fine. Did a lot of wandering though I guess I havent came across that monastery. Did see a few cat like people though." [u]"Sorry to interrupt but uh... there are a lot of dead bodies on the road. I'd probably suggest keeping an eye out"[/u] Outside the window bodies seem to be sprawled all throughout the road some seeming horrifically mutilated. For a glimpse a shadow darts in and out of sight never straying too far from the carriage.
-
"Well shit. Anyways, you're not going to find that monastery; it burned down some time ago." [b]She eyed the figure suspiciously, eyes flitting watchfully from the bodies to it.[/b]
-
Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 10/17/2016 4:18:59 PM"Guess I should have brought the ASE." Her eyes scanning the horizon for any figures. There is the flash of a scope followed by the sound of a rifle. "Really? Fireing on funeral goers?" She walks out of the carriage. The nanoeds construct a shield on her arm. A bullet hits the shield bouncing off to the side. A quick flash from the scope and another shot and the figure vanishes again.
-
[b]Val followed suit, dodge rolling from the carriage underneath a rifle shot. She pulled a small knife from her belt and threw it at a retreating figure, it connecting with a dull thud into it's neck. She pulled another knife out, backing towards Ama.[/b] "Why are they attacking us?"
-
"Freaking raiders. Keep scarring them off but the idiots won't take the hint." A small chunk of the shield comes off forming a blade which fires off followed by screaming. "At least they haven't figured out you can't shoot through a wall of nanoeds."
-
"Nice." [b]She threw another knife, and another figure went down.[/b]
-
"Hey Kabuto how you holding up." A man rushes Kabuto with a knife only to have it cut to the handle by a sword while Kabuto kicks him to the side. [u]"I have the might of the First on my side! I am better than fine"[/u] "Yeah sure, just don't go getting yourself killed"
