Sandbox The City of Avalon

[Hahli Nuva]

The woman wasn't at all fazed by the fact that her phone was pierced through by a single dagger, her communication device being rendered useless just like that. That unwavering smile still stuck on her face, not at all bothered by this possible set back. Prompted to explain herself, she remained silent even when it was this close to an inevitable fight. Seconds later, the woman merely made a gesture that was similar to shrugging, expressing that she didn't feel like explaining or saying anything at all. Blink once, her eyes was a dark shade of brown and a bright flush of pink, blink twice, those drastically different eye colors swapped places from left to right. Blink once more, the colors alternated again. It was unclear what she was exactly conveying here, but with how she's simply standing there with that smug smile of hers, it might as well be a taunt. An invitation to come at her for a fight.

Maeve leapt down from the roof, smirking. She knew this cat's game, and the thief was not about to walk into a trap. The Tigrom Flanker swiftly moved to recover Majima, who seemed to still be unconcious. Quicker than the eye could see, Maeve moved and laid Majima to rest against the wall of his home.

With him out of the way, she could properly take care of business.

"Trust me, kitten. You do not want zis fight."

Theo Raeken

Theo hadn't intended to come to Avalon, but sometimes things happen like that. When he had tried to return home, he had wound up here. He wasn't sure why he was here, but maybe he would get lucky and met someone he knew. He looked back to see if he passed someone he knew.



Of course, by looking back, he might also accidently bump into someone. Who could say?

"I see." Alice listened to Makoto's story intently, surprised to learn that Majima was such a caring fellow...even if her first impression of the "Mad Dog" had suggested otherwise. "He mentioned that he wants to take you out of this city. Would you want to go with him, if that's the case?"

❝ Well uh... I think we got it handled from here... Blake should be fine. ❞ Lapis blinked at Wyatt's question, trying to wrap her head around what transpired here. Despite half of the progress done here by her, she couldn't even believe that she was able to resolve the situation as well as she could. Either way, she and Lambdadelta had to clear out soon, mostly due to Blake possibly asking her questions once he wakes up.

❝ Thanks... ❞ The Witch of Miracles glanced over to see that Gran was offering a potion by the looks of it. That's right... she wasn't particularly in the best of conditions right now. Blue blood trickled down from the side of her head, and it wasn't because of any wounds she's gotten from the fight. Wiping the substance off with her arm, she went ahead to chug the vial empty. Taking that in, she noticed that her magically projected arm faded out of sight, further perplexing the other Witch.

❝ Oh jeez... do I have to tell you about how this specific magic works? ❞ Lambdadelta sighed in dismay, only getting a confused look from Lapis.

❝ ... er, go on. ❞

❝ Well first off, you've practically used up a lot of Miracles by now, right? The reason why you're bleeding is that every time you cast a Miracle, you chip away a part of your heart. Doesn't matter if it's as simple as turning water into wine or as drastic as curing an incurable disease. It's slowly squeezing you dry of what keeps you alive, since it's not like you can force out Miracles without something to give up. ❞ The Witch of Certainty explained with upmost seriousness, making it very clear to Lapis that she couldn't rely on those Miracles so often. There had to be a catch to that type of magic anyways, it would be too much of a Miracle in itself if it came with no cost. Letting that sink in, Lapis fell into silence as she glanced down her left shoulder.

❝ And I suppose that magically projected arm is something new? Not sure since Bernkastel never bothered using this type of magic anyways. Ironic, the original Witch of Miracles didn't actually believe in Miracles. ❞ Lambda was at a loss for words on how to explain this other ability that Lapis appeared to get from using her magic. Before they could dwell more on this, a beeping noise came from Lapis's pocket. As she went to reach for her phone, she noticed that the beeping stopped.

❝ That was Neo ringing in just now. Lambda, we need to go check up on her. We can't stick around here anyways... I don't want to involve him in anymore of this. ❞ Lapis knew that she couldn't wait and see if Blake would wake up anyways. Hopefully he would recover okay, but she was sure he would be fine after giving him a Miracle of surviving. Without another word said between them, they both ran off, leaving the others present with the unconscious but healthy Blake.

The woman playfully stuck out her tongue at Maeve, not heeding the warning at all. It was like she was purposefully pushing her to do this. Not that it affected the original mission after all. Her hand resting at the handle of her parasol, she was about to make the first move if the other didn't bother doing so first in their fight. That was until a sudden wall of blue crystals formed out of nowhere in-between the two.

❝ Neo, what are you doing? Did you even give Majima the repressing vaccine? ❞ Lapis pulled Neo over by the arm, partially questioning and scolding her at the same time. Out of everyone in their little alliance, Lapis always saw Neo as the type to play around before actually completing a task. The latter would nod once before motioning her head to signify that Majima was behind Maeve. Well, this was awkward, where to even begin with this?

❝ Oh my god, don't tell me you're after Majima too. We don't have a flexible schedule for all these detours, you know?! ❞ The Witch of Miracles let out an exhausted groan out of frustration. Clearly there was so much to happen in a single day that she's running out of patience at this rate.

❝ First my older brother's girlfriend goes haywire with demon powers, then I get inevitably stuck with powers of being a Witch, then we pull this girl out of the crazy demon cult's experiments, then we help out this guy who's gotten injected with that demon bullshit from that same cult, AND THEN the same cult plops down a big demon boar that summoned a big ghost for us to fight! I swear if I have to go through more obstacles just to rest today, I'm actually going to freaking lose it! ❞ The Witch of Miracles ranted as she stomped over past Maeve and towards Majima, diligently checking his condition with some basic magic. Maybe it was wise to let Lapis do her thing for now...

❝ Well um... guess I'll go check on Makoto. ❞ Lambdadelta figured that it was the best thing she could do, taking the hint that Lapis was getting worn out from today. So she disappeared in a flash of butterflies, probably the fastest way to flee the somewhat awkward scene. All this occurred, and Neo only shrugged in response.

Makoto let that settle in her thoughts for a moment. Surely this was no different than back then. After all this time, he still wanted to protect her. If this was to ensure her a normal life after the fact, she wouldn't mind having to stick by him until then.

❝ I trust him, so if... he knows that it's better to go somewhere else... I'll go with him. ❞ She sounded as if she could put all of her faith into him, that her trust could be this strong towards him. Seconds later, she further added another thought, ❝ Ah... sorry for... um, dragging all of this onto you. I know I... couldn't sway most of this happening on my own, but I still feel... like me being here caused this. ❞

As she briefly apologized for the trouble, the young woman wouldn't be able to notice a strange butterfly rest on the windowsill behind her. A butterfly with an eerie glow of pink. It perched there, not even moving an inch. It was almost like a strange spirit that could pass through the closed window of the bedroom if it chose to, but it did not.

Gran
@Gummi Bunnies @Lucky @Ver

Gran quietly listened as Lambda began explaining the nature of Lapis' magic. Looks like potions alone aren't going to fix this situation, but before he could even ask to tag along, he was suddenly left behind as the two ran off, apparently someone named 'Neo' had some business with them.

Initially, he had planned to run right after them, but he halted, remembering that Blake was still unconscious... On the ground.

Frantically grabbing the unconscious boy's shoulders with his hands... He started shaking him frantically, hoping to wake him up.​

 

[Yun Lee]

Alice let out a dry chuckle at Makoto's apology. "No need to apologize, Makoto. I'm not what one would consider a typical farmer, you see. It was only a matter of time before something unusual happened to me."

She looked out the window, the intent being to reflect on her past for a time before checking on Majima, but then a pink butterfly caught her eye. "...stay still." Alice whispered, slowly getting up and walking forward, peering at the butterfly warily.

Wyatt Halliwell

" Well, at least they partially answered my question before running off into the night," he replied, checking to see how injured Blake was and if he could measure the amount of time it would take him to heal. Somehow, he doubted it, but he could try to get a rough estimate.

@York @Gummi Bunnies @Ver

 

[Gummi Bunnies]

From the looks of it, Blake didn't appear to be that injured as before, so Lapis's miracle healing was thankfully enough to bring him back into peak condition. It didn't even take long for Gran's shaking to wake him up, almost startling him.

❝ H-Huh? What the hell happened? ❞ Blake's words blurted out in a daze, blinking his eyes constantly to make his surroundings clear. It only drew out more questions. ❝ Wait, where did that big boar go? ... and where's that girl? ❞

@Lucky @York

Makoto immediately froze when Alice gave her a warning to stay still. What was going on? Was something else happening? She didn't hear anyone else walk into the room, so she couldn't tell what was the problem. The pink butterfly in question started to flutter away from the window, almost in a rush after being sighted. It didn't enter the house, and only fluttered outside.

Gran
@Gummi Bunnies @Lucky

Gran tilted his head... Then pointed in the rough direction Lapis had gone... Before he turned to the boar, cocking his head.

"... Lambdadelta..." He said, slowly seeming to find his voice.

It was difficult to tell what he meant, but the crater where the Boar had once been, alongside the signs of the battle that once took place on site not too long ago.

Though... Admittedly, the young boy did feel a strange chill creeping up his spine for some reason. Perhaps a premonition of things to come...​

 

[Cheese_Pizza]

Okay, so this wasn’t the worst place he could wake up in after a night of drinking. Peter Quill slowly rubbed the back of his head with his right palm as he proceeded to take a good glance around his surroundings. He was in some kind of... rural area? Like a farm or some other shit. Could he be back home?

​

“Damn it...” The outlaw muttered under his chilled breath as he took in the nearby scenery and tried to decipher just where the hell he was.

Peter Quill

Peter hadn't exactly found a goal in mind to his wonderings. Actually, he just wished he had asked the people where he was. When you land in a tea shop and learn nothing, it might have been a good idea to ask the locals. But of course, he didn't ask the locals and wound up by a farm all by himself. Well, almost all by himself.

He noticed the man and had to do a double take.

That was him. " What the fuck?" He asked, looking at this identical man. " Why do you look like me?"

Peter glanced upwards as he heard a voice strikingly similar to his own, only to have to take a double-take at what appeared to either be some really fucked up hallucination or a genuine... clone of himself?

“Woah man... I think I should be asking why do you look like me?” Quill replied in an attempt to play things cool.

Peter Quill

Peter looked over at him and wondered what his answer was going to be. There was something that he was trying to remember from his space incident. Could this possible be a... hmmm... that seemed far fetched, but knowing there was a multiverse, it seemed to be the likely possibility. That or he was losing his mind.

" I asked you first. Who are you?" He asked, eyeing him and watching his movement. He felt like this was a younger or maybe a less damaged version of him... or maybe just an alternate reality version.

Delsin Rowe, the Troublemaker


The Conduit was already up in the air as he was searching for someone in particular here in Avalon. It didn't take long before he found out who he was looking for. Theo.

"Well, never thought I'd run into you here of all places, Theo."

Theo had been looking for Deslin too and he had been looking everyone expect for up. He should have known that his troublemaker was above him the whole time.

"We always seem to run into each other, Deslin. It's been a while. Protest on Ragnarok not go well?" He asked with a telling smirk.

[Sark]

Franziska von Karma paused at the newcomer's question. "The scenery is impressive, I will admit. But it is just scenery. Flowers and statuary taken from elsewhere to make this location appear more attractive and more respectable than its surroundings. Some of the artwork clashes with the overall aesthetic. The designer should have worked harder to make everything perfectly fit seamlessly together, but I see they have allowed some of the vegetation to become a bit overgrown." She scowled a bit.

"But who are you to ask?" she said. "I am Franziska von Karma, the prodigy. I am in this city on official business as a prosecutor."

"An interesting insight" Zamasu, releasing the bud from between his fingers. A writhing thumb tired in vain to remove the sap from his fingertips, but his hammer struck no anvil; in his absent-mindedness, he had reduced something beautiful to something chaotic and messy, and all his efforts seemed only to make it worse... perhaps there was a metaphor in their someone, a theory Zamasu would ponder upon throughout the remainder of his trip. "I suppose, at the end of the day, unnatural nature is a paradox. No matter how hard we try, mortals can never create a scene as beautiful as one of the gods, no matter the thought of the effort they may put into it. The human mind cannot fathom the beautiful intricacies of life and growth, and perhaps it never will. Until then, all man can do is try... try and fail to capture the pictures they paint in their heads... and leave their abandoned projects scattered around the path to clutter up the place"

"I'm sorry...How rude of me... My name is Zamasu... and I suppose you might call me a Tourist"

Blair Williams
Pilot of the Human Resistance

The woman found herself walking the edge of Avalon, her hand moving toward the side of her Desert Eagle at times but no trouble or terminators had popped up just yet so the place must of been sort of safe at the time. But you can never be sure.

Marcus found himself walking another path, eyeing for trouble or otherwise.

"Who's there?!"

Theo shrugged as he looked over at him. " I can't honestly say much about that, life has a way of repeating itself, doesn't it though? Seems I can't escape seeing you and I don't mind."

" I have never seen someone on their toes in their life. What are you afraid of popping out of nowhere?" A male asked, running his hand through his hair.

He offered a friendly smile to her to show he was fine. " I'm Matthew Harris by the way, " he said to her.

Nott the Brave

Nott thought she had done such a good job at hiding, but it seemed that wasn't the case. She had been spouting.

"Who's there?!"

" No one's here, just the wind," Nott replied. There was a certainly a twinge of a British girl's accent to the wind. How strange.

"Then you've never met me, then." It made Blair turn her head in shock, sliding out her gun.

"What makes this your business?"

Being from a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of terminators and Skynet in a war against the machines can take a lot out of a person.

The man told her his name already, but Blair wasn't too trustworthy. What if he was a survivor ready to kill her?

The female pilot sighed and saw he was human-like in appearance.

Theo smirked and looked over at him. " I told you I would find you and I always keep my promises," he replied.

Matthew Harris/Twiggy

Matthew shrugged as she pulled a gun on him. This wouldn't be the first time he had been shot.

" Hey listen, I just wanted to talk, no need to literally shot me for being nice."

Wherever this woman must have been some fucked up world that she pulled a gun before she even told her name. He wished he hadn't been so sheltered by his father and knew more media.

As he ran his hand through his hair, he really wished that this wasn't a barren desert, as that meant he had to lean on his superhuman senses and speed only.

He noticed that she had sighed, god what had gotten her so riled up?

"So what exactly are the humans resisting that you mentioned you are from it?"

Nott the Brave

Nott was surprised that someone knew where she was since she was in stealth mode, but she approached the man. She was not a human. She seemed to look like a creature of some sort or a midget, but she also had a porclein mask. " So, how's the weather?" Nott asked, hoping to distract from the fact that she wasn't human.
