"You. You're the other person who received the Ether from here yeah?"

"Indeed so."

"Oh, hello there Owl Man." I state to the owl creature. "Can you talk like Mister Owl from the Hundred Acre Wood?"

"... WHO YOU?"

Their voice proves far more rough and potentially hostile than Jake's likely incredibly unwise initial evaluation.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Much like New York... Not much luck, there.

As he wanders through the devastated streets, it feels like there's indeed no one here. Then again, he wasn't walking at a face pace, and this is a fairly sized city, so maybe...?

For now, he just sees the various ruined buildings. Shops and restaurants that will never re-open, full of items now not worth much at all... Ah.

He finds one open shop. He can't really understand the title considering it's in French, but it looks like a charming enough place. Enter?

(ehehe who)

[nothing of note is found beyond cities people have already discovered]

"Indeed so."

"... WHO YOU?"

Their voice proves far more rough and potentially hostile than Jake's likely incredibly unwise initial evaluation.

"Eh, hello. I'm looking for information. Could you please inform me anything you know about how the world was made?"

 

[Paul_Frank]

"Indeed so."

"Have you gathered any outside of this, and do you know of anywhere to locate more?"

 

[Overlord775]

@DMUA

As they spot a city that doesn't reek of instant death, the clone would head towards it and begin to explore.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

@Yobo_Blue

"Elaborate. What is it that you wish to achieve exactly?"

@Overlord775

"Very well. Ask away."

“I was considering creating an artificial corpse with modifications to see if it would instill some sort of life in it as well. I was curious about if you could aid me in that.”

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

@Overlord775

"You are an odd one, allying yourself with me so easily and quickly. Though still, I respect your aid and am thankful for it."

@Yobo_Blue

"An artificial corpse? Well, I am capable of reviving the dead, yes."

 

[Yobo_Blue]

@Overlord775

"You are an odd one, allying yourself with me so easily and quickly. Though still, I respect your aid and am thankful for it."

@Yobo_Blue

"An artificial corpse? Well, I am capable of reviving the dead, yes."

“Indeed, but what about someone who never lived? So long as they theoretically could function, would it work?”

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

@Yobo_Blue

"As long as they possess the necessarily parts, I would imagine so, yes."

 

[Yobo_Blue]

@Yobo_Blue

"As long as they possess the necessarily parts, I would imagine so, yes."

“So, pre modifications aren’t an issue then?”

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

@Yobo_Blue

"As long as the modifications aren't severe enough that their body couldn't function naturally, they should not be."

 

[Overlord775]

@The_Divine_Phoenix

"I see."

He seems to have appricitated her answer from his tone.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

@Yobo_Blue

"As long as the modifications aren't severe enough that their body couldn't function naturally, they should not be."

“I see.“

Holly manifests a corpse

”Well, I plan on seeing what sorts of modifications I can add, do you have any you’d like to make?”

 

[DMUA]

"I just hope I don't regret it later"

It seems to be a French restaurant, almost... overly frenched, if that makes sense.

Paintings, baguettes made of what you swear is wax randomly aligned whenever there's space, it's just... sensory overload on the décor.

"Welcome monsieur, sit."

"Have you gathered any outside of this, and do you know of anywhere to locate more?"

"There was a minor amount in an enemy near New York, but otherwise, I don't have any leads, no."

 

[Listentomyrhytm]

Having finished thinking of his power, Dy1 starts heading towards where Italy would have been, running and absorbing Concrehee-ho into his essence so the lil' guy gets a rest from walking.

"Welcome monsieur, sit."

"Who said that?, besides where is a chair available? I don't want to take any that already have a reservation"

 

[Paul_Frank]

"There was a minor amount in an enemy near New York, but otherwise, I don't have any leads, no."

"Hmm, I see. So I guess it's either start setting up a base of operations here and have my men check out the ruins of that diet building in what used to be Japan, or have my men build here and go there myself maybe..." She says aloud, going over some of her options

"Oh, sorry, my name is Serena by the way, a pleasure to meet you."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

@Yobo_Blue

"The only modification I could make at the moment would be to grant it a part of my Core Crystal, which I do not wish to do to just anyone. Nor do I wish to allow an unknown body to become my Driver. As such, there is not much for me to add."

She explained.

She explained.

“That’s unfortunate. Pray tell, what is a driver in any case?”

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

@Yobo_Blue

"In short, a Driver is someone who is tied to a specific Blade, or to the three of us in this case. All three of us are Blades. Drivers can summon their Blades and share some of the blade's abilities, as well as their weapon. It's a permanent connection typically. We three happen to be a special type of Blade, an Aegis. We don't need a Driver to operate freely, but we can still have one."

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

"Back... Sore..."

Connor Lycans, former human now-turned werewolf ever since just before the literal apocalypse started, WAS napping peacefully. by a boulder not too long after all this went down. But, with his mental energy recharged from the absolutely ******-up day he had been having, it was about time for him to start scavenging to see whatever was left in this hellscape.

Luckily for him, he would find someone else within the endless desert, in the one place around with any sort of nature.

"Hey, bird girl!"

A distinctly young but bestial voice calls out to the phoenix as, from the distance, a boy arrives. He's wearing rough, tattered rags for clothing, and his wild hair sticks up in two points almost like wolf ears. "Where is this place? It smells new."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Just as she concludes her explanation, which the newcomer might also have heard, she sees them arrive.

"This place is called Deseret. It is a safe haven I have built in these lands."

The mechanical looking girl explained.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

The boy sits down in the middle of the grass, legs crossed. "I am Connor. Connor Lycans."

 

[Yobo_Blue]

"Good, someone forward. So, Guessing you're one of those 'chosen' or whatever the hell."

The boy sits down in the middle of the grass, legs crossed. "Name's Connor. Connor Lycans."

“Would you like to become a puppet?”

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"I am called Machina. I am one, yet three."

She said, shifting to Lumea.

"I'm Lumea."

And then, she shifted to Agnaea.

"And I'm Agnaea"

Before shifting back to Machina.

"I imagine it may be odd for you to see such a thing as us three."

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

"I saw many strange things today. You are normal."

He stares at Holly. "what."

 

[Yobo_Blue]

"Y'know, it would be if I hadn't seen the whole damn planet go up in flames."

He stares at Holly. "what."

“Do you want to be a puppet? You’d gain a lot of power but you’d also be a slave to my will. You can escape it o
after the fact but it’s will result in extreme pain for an hour or so.”

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Machina tilts her head, looking surprised by the girl's overtness in asking to enslave someone.

"That all aside, all are welcome here as long as they abide by the rules of this place. To not attack it, to not plunder its life and to not interfere with its inhabitants against their will."

She summarized.

"Would you like those clothes repaired?"

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

"these?"
He looks down at his rags.

"yeah, sure, if you can fix 'em."

He answers Machina, ignoring Holly entirely.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Machina releases a green wave that expands from around her body, it feels like the surroundings are slightly different while in there.

The clothes seem to almost repair themselves, doing so rather quickly.

"There you go."

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

Lycans looks down at his clothing, which has now been repaired.

"Feels better..."

He looks around. "What else are you doing here?"

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"Reviving life, expanding territory. Building a bit too."

 

[Overlord775]

@ZephyrosOmega

Connor would be able to notice a boy standing next to Machina, which was already there when he arrived.

"We're also the guardians of this sactuary, protecting it's inhabitants from threats."

He adds to what she said.

@Yobo_Blue

"Most beings don't like being manipulated, so you shouldn't be so eager to ask something like that to someone you just met."

Jiraya comments.


@DMUA

As they spot a city that doesn't reek of instant death, one of the clones would head towards it and begin to explore. Meanwhile, the other three qould continue explore the land.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

"Huh..."

He's silent for a minute, before blurting out "Hey, I'm starving. Do you have any meat I can hunt?"

 

[Overlord775]

"Would fish meat be good ?"

Jiraya asks.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

"Fish?"

Lycans shakes his head. "No, I want something I can hunt."

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

"I could create some meat for you, but hunting is fine too, as long as you don't overhunt. It is part of the natural cycle after all. I don't really eat myself, so I hadn't made any food yet."

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

"Hmm. I like you, metal girl."

He stands up, making a supersonic beeline for the nearest forest.

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

@ZephyrosOmega

He would notice the occasional Elemental floating around, but they didn't seem to be harmful nor did they seem to have any meat on them.

It wouldn't take too long to find various animals. Rabbits, moose, deer and the like.
