[spoiler]Ah, alright. [/spoiler]
[i]Lucas, who just happened to be sneaking through Dojoville after sprinting for a few hours straight, was taking a break to breathe when he saw the woman pop up out of a portal, and fall flat on her face. The whole scene looked pretty comedic to the Russian, so he chuckled in amusement under his breath, before slowly walking over to the woman, head cocked to the right, his right eyebrow raised in curiousity. [/i]
"Uh,"
[i]He awkwardly began, standing just about six feet away, [/i]
"Do you always pop up from random portals..?"
English
-
"Um...no. Mostly just fight Grimm." She says, looking up to Lucas. "Who the hell are you?" She asks, clearly a little confused.
-
Edited by UNUSED ACCOUNT: 10/24/2016 5:56:25 AM[i]Luke extended a hand down to the woman, his eyebrow raised even higher as his curiousity grew, [/i] "Grimm? What are those? And I? I'm Lucas. Lucas Fandango. Though, I'm frequently called Luke, or Lucky Luke. Whatever suits you, I guess."
-
"Well then...you may call me Merci. Merci Romana, is my full name." She says, getting herself up. "Where exactly am I?"
-
"Merci, eh? Sounds fancy, and French." [i]Luke responded as he pulled his hand back, letting it hang limply at his right, while his left hung by what seemed to be an oversized SMG. [/i] "You're on the planet of Takatai. Currently by the Ko Rudo Mountains, in Dojoville, near the Dojo. The Dojo's a place for people - but mostly warriors - to come and train, socialize, etcetera."
-
"Eh, Luke? Sounds American...or British, I'll say." She responds, a belt similar to what Keira was wearing, only...it seemed to be somewhat different, both in color and weaponry. "Didn't realize that I could even travel through planets." She thinks out loud.
-
"Luke? Yeah, it does - though I'm actually Russian. Both my parents were American, though, so that explains the name. And, y'know, I haven't been in Russia for years, nor have I been speaking the language, so I consider myself to be American, or British. Just, English, really." [i]Was Lucas' swift response, hazel brown eyes inspecting the belt with curiousity.. Was she another.. Rider? Well, only one way to find out..[/i] "That belt.. Are you a, uh, Rider? Like Keira.."
-
*She froze up a bit. How could even a person in another world even know what a Rider was? Maybe this 'Keira' would know...* "How'd you know that?" She asks.
-
[i]The Russian's response was very simple truly. Simple and truthful.[/i] Your belt, it's very similar to that of a close friend of mine, and she's a Rider, I think she said.." [i] Referring to Keira as a close friend gave Lucas.. mixed feelings. Sure, he liked her.. a lot, truly.. Hell, maybe even more than just.. like. [/i]
-
"I'm not on Remnant, aren't I?" She asks, before then asking, "Would you mind getting me to this 'Keira' for me? If she is in fact, a Rider, then..." she starts saying before mumbling, "I'd be willing to interrogate her to see what she knows about Atlas."
-
"Uh," [i]Lucas began in response, confusion very much evident on his face.. Remnant? Atlas? And the interrogation part seemed very, very far from friendly.. Why else would she mutter it? [/i] "What's a Remnant? Is it some planet? And, Atlas? Also, funny thing.. I'm sorta.. avoiding Keira, because.. a thing happened."
-
"Um...Remnant is the planet where I'm from, I guess. Anyways...why are you ignoring this Rider?" She asks, clearly puzzled.
-
[i]The man made a silent "oh" in response to the.. revelation. More dimension travelers, huh.. He then averted his eyes, looking down at the ground as his right hand started fidgeting with the left, dismantling the cybernetic with very quick, elegant motions. [/i] "Private matter," [i]Was all he eventually said. [/i]
-
"Oh...well...um..." she says, not wanting to possibly delve into someone's social life right now. "Um...do you know where the Rider last was?" She asks to Luke.
-
Edited by UNUSED ACCOUNT: 10/24/2016 6:31:14 PM"Keira..? Hmm.. In front of Dojoville. But, if you want to get precise and all that.." [i]He said, turning on his axle as he stopped dismantling his left cybernetic, leaving it rather.. skeletal, with wires visible, the pieces he took off laying in his open palm. He then raised his right hand, pointing down the street and to where he left Chloanne and Keira. [/i] "Right over there.. Say, would you mind if I came along? I likely need to get my stuff together and just face her.. If she's still there, that is."
-
"Yeah...personally want to see what these two are made of in this world." She responds, running in the direction Luke pointed to.
-
[i]Lucas remains in place for a moment or two, his eyes following Merci as a lengthy sigh left him, [/i] "Oh dear.." [i]He then followed rather swiftly, simultaneously putting his prosthetic hand back together. [/i]
-
"You know, I kinda expected Him to send me to heaven for doing what I've been doing in the other universe; I guess I might be wrong on that." She responds, waiting for Luke to catch up.
-
[i]He was quick to catch up, his cybernetic legs helping him quite a bit with their increased strength. Once he started slowing down and joined Merci at her right side, he clicked the last ceramic composite piece into place on his left hand. [/i] "Ah, so you're religious, huh? Me too." [i]He said as he opened and closed his left hand a few times, the ceramic in ceramic making soft clacks. [/i]
-
"I guess you can say I'm like that." She responds, "So...how long till we get to this Rider?"
-
[i]Luke only shrugged. He truly didn't know.. It all depended on whether or not she was still there - though they'd reach the place where he last saw her soon. [/i]
-
"So...how is this place in terms of...um...intentional killing, I suppose?" She asks, wondering whether she'd need to save this place as well as Vale.
-
"Murder? Eh.. Well, we've had two mass murders since I've arrived here.. People fight at the Dojo, and sometimes people die.. Though there are also things like monsters that assault this place - this crab thing pretty recently, for example."
-
"Crab-thing?" She thought, before looking toward Luke. "Did it have yellow eyes and a white face and black everywhere else?"
-
"I'm pretty sure it did.. Not completely certain, though. I just know that I punched it, was shot at with lasers, and then sent into a different dimension.. thing while a dragon and the crab thing tried to murder me. As well as a horde of these.. dudes in skintight suits."
-
"Those people you faced were called Shocker." A feminine voice said behind you.
