Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
Anika’s Room
Anika's eyes widens. "For real?" She suddenly leans down and gives the catgirl a passionate kiss while running her hands through her hair. "I'm going to give you the best time of your life then." She finishes the kiss with. "It's going to be your first and greatest date ever. Sentinels oath." The druid declares while solemnly pressing her hand against her chest.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
Anika’s Room
”Mmph!” Anika seems to catch Blanche a fair bit unawares as she pulls her in, her partner jolting before fingers sink into her hair and she manages to restrain the reflex. A second later and she eagerly reciprocates, hands relaxing against the night elf’s form. “I can’t wait,” she responds breathlessly. “so far you‘ve been really good at first times.”"Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not, we never are. But that's not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?"

"I specialize in starcraft engines," the armored man replies, "and I've done some demolitions and excavation on the side." He hasn't heard of any college of dynamics, but there are a great many institutions in the universe, and no one can be expected to know all of them.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
[Briefing VIGIL]
A few days after Wenomir's unexpected dream trip, Electra shows up at VIGIL, the first time she's visited the organization since she came to the Nexus. Unfortunately, this isn't a social call, however. She steps off the tram, clad in her armor, weapons hanging in their folded, "holstered" form at her hips, and takes a look around for a moment. A floating island. Floating islands didn't work out too well in her home dimension, but then, magic wasn't really available in her home dimension, so things probably even out. After a moment, she looks for someone who looks like they know where they're going to ask directions from. No sense beating around the bush.Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

[Lending Awen a Hand]
"Yes, your blood will run through it. Were I am from this is important to make it a part of your body just like your real hand was." Mia says and yes if there are files with such data she already prepared for it otherwise she would just need some more time now.
"It should be even harder to break then your normal arm and even harder to cut. It won't heal itself, but you can come to me at any time so i repair it." The hand should be strong enougth to block most normal material weapons, swords, axes etc. Even gunshots won't destroy it but they might leave a dent or break it when hit to much.
Mia will lead her to a room where the anestetic happens after she passes out she will be brought into the operation room, thought she won't notice it, but best to tell. Standard operation process. And if nothing went wrong she might end up waking up.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
Anika’s Room
Anika looks concerned for a moment. "I didn't get too rough with you, did I? Sometimes I get too physical too fast." The kal'dorei raises an eyebrow and giggles. "Oh, I could guess you were new, but also pretty amazed. You've had these heats for how long? I mean, if you managed to satisfy yourself for this long you will do just fine with others. Trust me, few people are going to say no to you. You're just too cute and sexy not to take a bite of." The druid grins and makes a biting motion with her mouth, ending up devouring a part of Blanche's finger without actually biting down on it. She just waggles her long eyebrows suggestively.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
Anika’s Room
”No! I, erm, actually think I kinda like it rough, actually.” The catgirl rubs the back of her neck as she admits it. “And well, they usually tend to last a few days, so I’m not sure I’m that good,” she attempts to downplays, giggling a little as Anika waggles her eyebrows. “You’re one to talk.” With the compliment made, Blanche visibly musters a bit of courage and leans over to plant a kiss on the night elf’s cheek.
”Er, I wasn’t actually lying about those expense reports... but I can put them off and stay the night if you want,” she shyly tries to offer.Last edited by Arkhosia; 2020-05-15 at 03:52 AM.

Anika’s Room
Anika runs her hand through Blanche's hair as she kisses the druid. Affectionately caressing her while she slowly starts moving away. "It's okay. You can't skip a report." Says the woman who have never filled in a single one her life. "Besides, we should save some stuff for our date y'know?" She plants a kiss on the catgirls forehead. "Trust me, the anticipation will only make it better and I think we both got stuff to do, yours probably more important than mine." Anika winks and grins as her hand caresses Blanche's cheek.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
VIGIL - Cessie's Office:
At around six in the afternoon, a man clad in a pair of ratty dress trousers and a pale blue turtleneck sweater knocks quietly upon the door leading into Cessie's office. His gangly arms are burdened with several large bundles of journals and related paraphernalia, and a briefcase has been cuffed to his wrist. The man appears to be in his late thirties, with a strangely proportioned body and stark facial features. Long hair falls over his face in greasy curtains, and his dark brown eyes are surrounded by darkened circles which suggest a lack of sleep.
As he waits for the door to open, he practices his smile. It is not a particularly pleasant smile, especially given how broad his mouth is and how lopsided his features are.
"Deep breaths, Nickie. Deeeeep breaths."
"Just reeeeal deep. Got this."

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
Anika’s Room
Blanche looks a little disappointed that she won’t be snuggling up with her tonight, but it swiftly melts away under Anika’s affections. She can’t help but nuzzle just a little into the night elf’s hand, reluctantly breaking away to stretch and retrieve her shirt from where it ended up in a tangle of sheets at the foot of the bed. ”Ill try to keep my excitement under wraps,” she promises with a smile, adding “It’ll be hard to get work done feeling this giddy!”
With that, she’ll presumably head out, stumbling a little at first as she realizes how shaky her legs still are, and definitely forgetting her bra in the process."Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not, we never are. But that's not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?"

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
VIGIL - Cessie's Office:
His interviewer, miss Mithar, comes moving down the hallway. She's a woman in an impeccably clean and smooth dress that looks to belong back in the 1800's rather than a modern party which would explain why she wears it to work. She notably wearing gloves indoors despite it not being particularly cold either here or outside. It just seems like it's something that goes with the rest of her outfit.
First glancing at a notebook in her hand, she turns to address Nicodemus. "Valiance Nicodemus? Welcome to VIGIL." She offers her hand and smiles. "I'm Cessie Mithar, one of the commanders here. Why don't you come inside my office so we can talk?"
Anika’s Room
Anika points at Blanche. "That's the right attitude. Go and kick that report's ass now!" Anika declares as she gives Blanche a pat, more like a light punch really, on the back.
But unlike Blanche, she does notice the missing underwear. "Hey!" She exclaims as she grabs the bra, quickly knuckles it up into a ball, and heads out into the corridor after Blanche where she proceeds to throw it after her. "You forgot this!"

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
VIGIL - Cessie's Office:
As Ms. Mithar strides down the hallway, Dr. Valiance steps back slightly and offers what seems to be an attempt at a friendly wave as she draws closer. Unfortunately, the gesture is largely restricted by the catalogue of journals held in his arms. With a glance towards Cessie, Nicodemus cannot help but feel underdressed. Perhaps he should have bought his civilian clothes from a respected storefront instead of "borrowing" a nice sweater from his community theater. No, surely, Cessie is simply overdressed. Even if not, this will work out fine, his work will surely speak for itself! If not, there's always the briefcase. A solid plan B for sure. For sure!
Once she offers her hand, Dr. Valiance frowns awkwardly before reading something written on the back of his hand in only somewhat legible sharpie. "Ah, Ms. Marther. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am genuinely flattered by this opportunity, of which I am grateful. Really!"
"I would love to shake your hand, but all this stuff is really quite burdensome, and none of it's super well organized, so. Just be a pain if anything fell."

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
[Briefing VIGIL]
Electra will be directed to Wenomir fairly promptly. Vigil were expecting her. The commander will meet her in the academy, dressed in his official uniform, which is different than the one Electra has seen him in so far.
"Electra," he says when he sees her approach. "Welcome. We've been expecting you."

"Starship engines?" the Asura repeats after him. "I believe I can surmise who to acquaintance you with now.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
Anika’s Room -> Barracks
Blanche responds with a crisp mock salute before slipping out. ”Yes ma’am!” She pauses on the way down the hall when Anika calls out to her, ears perking up... and feels her cheeks turn bright red when she catches it and realizes what she’s holding. “T-thanks, sorry about that!” Having hastily apologized, she’ll stuff the article into a pocket and hurry home, hopefully before anyone can see how embarrassed she looks."Are we living a life that is safe from harm?

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
[Sword Introduction]
Cass seems a little awkward again, but seems determined to focus - trying her best to stay on task and get on with the lesson, despite the close presence of Wenomir. Her 'best' might not be good enough though, as Wenomir will be able to notice her getting increasingly flustered and distracted during the grappling.
[Barracks]
You know, making a set-up like that is how you get into trouble. Blanche won't get far before bumping into a certain hunky tiefling, returning to the barracks after sparring with another member. Perhaps even literally bumping into him, though Kal has fast enough reflexes to catch her before they actually collide.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
[Sword Introduction]
Though he was more stoic at first - martial arts always give him focus that overrides most other considerations - close grapples with Cass do make Wenomir's mind... wander as well. He does his best not to let it interrupt the training, but can't quite keep it up, so it ends just a bit more quickly than perhaps it should. He steps away and takes a few deep breaths, looking at Cassandra.
"I think that's enough. As far as first lessons go, this was a good one."

"I'm Dirvak, originally from the College of Dynamics in Rata Sum." The Asura starts leading the way through the base. "The person I hope to promptly locate is Mia Mechanicus.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
[Briefing VIGIL]
Electra looks around the VIGIL base as she's directed to the academy, and once she's found Wenomir, she looks him up and down for a moment. Despite her politely neutral mask, Wenomir can see more than she'd probably like in her eyes and past her careful attempt at masking her emotions. There's a lot there to unpack, the careful analysis as she looks him up and down, the rational threat assessment, an extremely slight downward twitch of her mouth as her gaze lingers ever so slightly on the Answer, and underneath it all, an air of fatigue. She gives a grim smile.
"So I see. I've brought the materials I promised," she says, tapping one of her auditory sensors with a finger. "Is it just you here, or are any of your command staff going to be joining us?"Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva

Blanche does indeed practically run into Kal, jolting once more when she feels his hands against her. Her face turns red again as she notices first that the man’s bare-chested, and secondly that it’s Kal. Well, speak of the devil.
”N-nothing.” She tries to excuse herself before he notices the very obvious signals of what she was just up to, taking a step back. “Really sorry about bumping into you Kal, won’t happen again.”"Are we living a life that is safe from harm?

Oh.
Oh no.
Animal bellies.
You know what that means don't you?
It means you have to rub them while hoping that they don't act like cats.
Lapis, for her part, is going to do the best with what she's got. And what she's got are little hands on her wings with which she'll begin rubbing through Anika's floof.
She wanted to be pet, right?
That's the impression Lapis is getting so that's what she's going with.
"Yeah but mortals have to learn stuff," Lapis points out. "They don't get born with knowledge. So there must be a bear school for druids."
She's mostly sure that this must be the case.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

It's unlikely she'll ever get one of those, though, given how antithetical robotics seems to be to the source of her power.

[Training Grounds - Arena]
Svetlana feints in both directions a couple of times, then acrobatically bypasses the lizard person anyway she can, either by sliding below his legs, jumping and flipping over him with her free hand on his shoulder or spinning out to the side if he buys her feint. If neither, then a swift kick to the 'nads should do it.
Once she can pass him successfully, she'll ready herself to jump and climb the chest-high obstacles.
[Bird-chasing and Bear-talk]
Anika grins happily and makes bear-noises, neither which answers Lapis question.
But then she suddenly starts to roll over down onto the ground to give the two access to her soft and fluffy belly. Still no answers but more pleased bear noises.
Asher makes a disappointed sound when Anika makes bear noises that don't mean anything. "I can understand animals, Anika, so you can still talk to me in this form!" He declares, and when the opportunity presents itself, flops his upper body on Anika's exposed fluffy belly. "There probably is, so they can learn how to transform into bears. Right, Anika?"
"Oo, Lapis, have I told you that I only look little because I'm manifesting in the physical? Look at me beyond this reality!" When she does, which she probably already is because angel, she'll also see that he's fully grown like her. "Can you be little if you want, too?"Purple Eagle's character list

[Mia's Workshop]
Dirvak clears his throat once they've entered the workshop.
"Mia? This is a prospective new member, Saramond Goshen. He professes to be an engineer, and as our engineer with the longest tenure, I thought you should be the one to evaluate him."
[Briefing VIGIL]
Wenomir is... inscrutable. When Electra saw him in the dream, he was surprised, confused and then concerned. Right now he's projecting an air of unflappable confidence. It's not entirely genuine, but he's pretty good at keeping it up. The Answer will appear to Electra as a perfectly normal steel longsword... and different than it was in the dream. The cross-guard is longer and thinner, while the hilt ends in a round pommel rather than a ball-shaped one. Is it a different weapon?

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
[Two Little Angels and A Bear]
Anika opens her mouth into a happy bear smile and makes more noises as her belly is being rubbed.
Asher won't understand any words exactly but he will still understand the meaning that being conveyed wherever they be by noises or just gestures however small. Which sometimes is more than you can get out of actual words. Language can cause so many misunderstandings.
That Anika is enjoying and want more is obvious and that she acknowledges what Asher is saying and understands it would probably not be impossible to guess. But the fact she's asking him "how come" is beyond any guesswork.
VIGIL - Cessie's Office
"It's Mithar actually. Names are hard." She still smiles genuinely, not wanting to make him even more nervous, if that even was possible. It looks like that might actually cause him to explode.
She could have just not pointed it out but that would just make it more awkward in the long run and Cessie was peculiar about her last name.
She glances down at her notebook again. "Will probably take me a while before I get yours, Mr. Valliance." The sorceress smiles once more at his suggesting of toe bumping. "Just not shaking hands suits me fine. Back where I'm from we didn't even have that tradition so it took awhile for me to adapt it." And even then she always wore gloves.
"So let's just skip all that and go about the meeting, yes?" She opens the door to her office and holds it open for him before taking a seat behind her desk. "You wanted to join our organization. Is that correct?" Cessie asks, this time without addressing her notes first.

Re: VIgil: Return of the Geneva
[VIGIL - Cessie's Office]
Nicodemus pales as Cessie corrects him, crinkling his lips together in an embarrassed smile. He knew he should have double-checked what he'd haphazardly scrawled onto the back of his hand, and that was before he had forgotten about it and accidentally washed most of it off in the sink! Ah, but he could hardly be upset. Cleanliness is next to... something or other. Without really thinking about it, he blurts out a poorly thought out response. "Really now?" Out of politeness (and a desire to save face), he fakes a scoff before shaking his head. "See, I knew that didn't sound right, but my... my, erm. My secretary! Wrote a packet for me to digest prior. Name was wrong!"
He laughs awkwardly before frowning. He'd gone too far, if he pulled back now, it'd look too much like a mistake! No, it was all in, now. "Must have been some sort of mistype on the... website, which you all have. Did you know that? Lovely website. I like the... color scheme." Dr. Valiance blinks two or three times before Cessie glances down at her notebook. Oh thank goodness. Those beady eyes of hers felt like lasers, they looked right through him. Just like the jury had. Then, however, Cessie calls him "mister", something he'd always hated. His face twitches rapidly for a second or so before he just smiles. "Oh, its Doctor, actually. Not a big deal!"
It was most certainly a big deal.
Once Cessie opens the door, Dr. Valiance relaxes slightly, though he is still noticeably sweaty. He slides on into her office with all the grace of an oversized spider on skates before collapsing into a chair. "Fantastic. Fantastic! I love that... we're doing this now. To the point! Informative! Just what I like in a potential employer."
"And, yes. Yes I would. I think I've a lot to offer! Several binders worth! Oh, I've so much to show you, Ms. Mithar."Last edited by Hattish Thing; 2020-05-17 at 03:57 AM.

"My apologies. Dr. Valliance it is." Cessie folds her hands together as she watches him talk. What a curious person.
As he finishes she can tell how eager he suddenly was and she could feel some relation. "Oh, by all means, go ahead. But just before you show me. What exactly is your specialization as a doctor? I admit ignorance in the area but I'm sure you can explain it to me."

"No, it's no trouble, really! Most people don't take me for a doctoral type. Must be the youthful exuberance with which I conduct myself." He chortles awkwardly before exhaling. As Cessie continues, Dr. Valiance furrows his brow and attempts to listen intently, but the ringing in his ears makes it difficult to focus. Oh gods, it was near-constant now! He'd have to go to an actual doctor about that sooner or later. Nicodemus hated doctors, though. Medical ones, at least. Maybe he just didn't like hospitals? All white and sterile, creepy as hell? Smells like old people! Yes, that was it! It wasn't doctors he didn't like, it was old people! Doctors just usually happened to be old! A coincidence, of course. Of course! "Oh, erm. My specialization!" Nicodemus closes his eyes real tight as he feels himself becoming distracted, smiling warmly as he opens them up again.
He shrugs slightly before setting his enormous pile of binders down upon Cessie's desk. "Mind if I set those down a second? I talk better with my hands free. Just a silly thing about me. Silly stuff. Fun and casual." His left eye twitches before he breathes in nervously, setting the suitcase cuffed to his wrist in his lap. Now, he's free to gesture as he speaks. "Anywho. Where we we? Ah, yes. Qualifications. Well, to start, I've a doctorate in philosophy of applied physics." He chuckles a little before continuing, slapping his knee with a hand. "Those are nonsense words that mean I'm really good at knowing what to tell a computer to do!" Nicodemus winces a little. Perhaps that was not the most flattering description?
No, that was fine. It was funny. Humor is key. Fun and casual.
An awkward pause follows before he picks the conversation up again. "Um, but. In effect, the point of someone like me is to conjoin the theoretical with the practical, turning math into useful things. Turning dreams into realities! Ha, like the quote. Music maker, dreamer of dreams, all of that."
"Perhaps it would be easier to explain my qualifications if I were to tell you a little about my previous occupation?"
"Gods, conjoin is a good word."Last edited by Hattish Thing; 2020-05-17 at 06:22 AM.
