It had been a cold day in Fairmont, as the colder weather of winter had begun to each even places as the Winter coast, with temps into the mid 50s on the breezy day. Such weather though was not an issue right now for Milo the Pangolin as he sat in his seat on the third floor and read his paper. He smiled as he waited patiently for thoes that had applied or were interested to the job he had been assigned.
Ebreus rides the elevator up to the third floor of the Zephyr building, kitted out in all his armor. His grin hidden behind his helmet as he checkes his dual shotguns, and the solar rifle he's finally getting the chance to bring on a combat mission. Seeing everything in order he reaches back to his grenade pouch to check he still has a few to be used. Feeling a good dozen or more in the pouch he knew he was all the more ready he would be.
Turns out he finished his checks just in time as the elevator opened and Ebreus stepped out. Seeing only the pangolin and knowing he wasn't, likely, going to be shot by Zephyr personel he retracts his helmet as he aproaches, "Hello Milo. You've called for agents?" he says.
The sounds of heavy footfall could be heard within the Zephyrian stairwell. Otto was never one for lifts, he had a pair of functioning legs, after all. 'Another great day for me, another great victory...' these were the words that rang within Otto's mind as he carries himself up and towards the second and third floors, with a kick in his step, a smile on his face, and his arsenal of various blades, poisons, elemental weapons and his new favorite toy, a chainsaw stained with the blood of its past victims perched upon his back as though it were a sword readily available.
He was in a good mood, jovial and bouncy indeed as he moves with grace, beaming with joy and practically glowing. Life was good, especially after his reassignment to the Prometheans. Less bullshit patrols, more time with those closest to him, more time to himself, more time to just... breathe, to really LIVE! He wanders into the room and spots Ebreus, armored up in that overglorified enviro-suit. *slap* he strikes the mutant's shoulder and shoots him a wink. "Yo Eb. Here to do some good? Let's get shit done today! I am pumped!" the jackal yells enthusiastically and fistpumps, before glancing towards Milo. "Others are coming, at least I suspect someone else is... though... my colleague here might not like who I mean." Otto snickers and gives Ebreus a pat with his tails.
Arris would notice the group gathered around in the Zephyr building, checking hir comm unit briefly to make sure this was the group that was headed to the Fairhaven sewer inspection. Though, sie would spot Otto in the group, and snicker to hirself as sie thought up a mischevious plan... before considering hir surroundings, now thinking back on it and deciding the practical joke would be more safely done elsewhere. Sie would instead approach the group, giving Otto a normal booty bump again. "Heya, Otto. Ebreus. Can't help but feel like I'm seeing you guys quite a lot, hah." The rifle strap over hir shoulder is adjusted as sie looks to the pangolin. "Milo, I think? 'Name's Arris, is a pleasure to meet you."
The door seems to almost burst with golden light the moment it is swung open. The sun long since faded away leaving only the room to illuminate the titanic golden creature that slowly strolled through. Perfectly metallic in color and luster the margay taur could almost appear like the finest statue ever crafted with remarkable detail, though the fact was she was indeed a living entity rather then the likeness there of. Almost barely capable of squeezing through the door frame for how massive she was in both physique and size, almost as though a truck were trying to fit in through the door or rather a truck and trailer given she were alot larger then just about anyone present. An endless flow of golden fur followed in after like her tauric half were an enormous beast of it's own. But her eyes radiated with a sun-like glow, like burning topaz or amber, bright and alight with a lively humor. Her physique spectacular and flawless, she was muscular, powerful featuring four arms and rows of cleavage each just large enough to eclipse her bear-like paws leading down her lionesk/tauric half, though still retaining her feminine curves, shape and sleekness, appearing Amazonian in a way. A faint smile curling her lips while she quietly stares at Otto with a wide grin beaming, almost proud in a way for some reason...
The cold cut against the building and city about, a touch of wind pulling through the breeze. For most days, it would have sent Mokou scurrying for the nearest indoors facility or warmest corner of a room. But today was no normal day. The message that had been flung across the waves and the boots that stomped up stairs spoke to that much at least. Mokou's eyes gazed out at the final few steps towards the destination, a floor and a man familiar now, if only professionally. Were her matte black coat and fatigues any indication, protection was the order of the day. At least, more so than the average day to day fair. Climbing the last few steps up to her destination, a slow gaze set upon those assembled, falling to an almost familiar pangolin... and a very familiar vulpine. A touch of a wince crossed her muzzle, but was quelled a mere moment later. After all, the familiar sight of someone much more... personally precious made themselves known.
Hustling on over, a hand raised in greeting as she stepped on towards the assembled lot. A flash of a smile flew across her maw as she reached out, gripping and gently shaking that familiar jackal's shoulder. "Fancy seeing you here Otto... Ebreus." A quieter nod, and a touch of a smile graced her maw as she peered up to the vulpine. Chilly but... open. "And... Arris, if memory serves. Glad to see you again." A hand fallen, offered to the gator lass... before the golden creature stepped through. What could be said about it, that their presence alone could not? Apparently, a confussed tilt of her head, nod given. "Err... Heya?"
Meanwhile Khaybat is currently trying to be sneaky as she enters the room though for what reason is hard to tell. Then again she hardly tends to make much sense either so there's that too. Upon getting to the seating the doe settles into one of them near an aisle, wiggles in place and then settles. At least there doesn't seem to be anybody making her go into heat against her will like last time she came to help!
The Pangolin greeted people as they came in with a smile, and offered them seats as they hustled in. Milo also chuckiled a little as the estravagance of some of the entrances and smiled. Once everyone has settled down, he gets up and begins "Welcome to all. As some of your may know, thanks to the help of some of our agents and with support from New Dawn." at which point he gives a small nodded smile to Ebreus. "Zephyr has been able to garner some relations with a Sewer Colony that that had discovered us during an earlier mission for Sewer Survalliance." The Pangolin says as he turns and continues. "It is our luck from that, that we found out that the Queen of the colony is a former Sewer Maitence worker, and has been happy to grant us a route to entry into the Sewer Reclamation plant." Milo takes a quick pause at that point and smiles "This, is where you guys come in for the mission. You are to follow the route given to the access door, enter the code to enter the building, and journey to a above group exit so as to give Zephyr a position of the location and entry point for the building in hopes of getting it rehabilitated and started to help get the system online." he says with a big smile "It is the hope that with that, Fairhaven may be improved greatly." Milo completes a bit of a glow to his words "With that said, are there any questions?"
Ebreus smiles just a little wider as he hears the familiar heavy footfalls of Otto. As the Jackal comes into view and slaps his suit he looks amused for a moment at the joke of power armor not really being armor... of course Ebreus had supplimented his suit with plates but they couldn't properly be integrated onto the frame, even with Ebreus' engineering prowers, due to limmitations on the initial design. "Yeah, this should be good." he replies as he fist bumps his firend and only raises an eyebrow as him implying someone he dislikes.
Once their gator ally comes up and greets them he replies, "Hey Arris, nice to see you coming along." He gives her a thumbs up happt to have them on the team. Seeing the Margay Taur follow the gator in he nods a polite, "Hello." to the unfamiliar face even though they appear to be an associate of some description of Ottos.
Then he spies the exact person that Otto was reffering to... the Fennec that almost got him killed twice. He takes a deep breath. No good would come from assaulting her in Zephyr Tower.... and it seems she recognized him with her body language upon seeing him. "Hello Mokou." he replies to the greeting from the Fennec, his distaste still apparent in his voice.
As Milo begins the breefing he nods slowly along as the onjective is explained to them and when the time for questions comes up he hums a single note before saying, "So trek through the sewer to a treatment plant and then radio back here once we're there? Are we expected to face a significant number of ferals or have to leave the Bubble for this?"
Smiling warmly all the while, he feels someone bump his booty, his head snapping to his side where he regards Arris. "Hehe, hi there. I dare say I am quite liking seeing you around so often, Arris." the jackal answers and gives the gator's rear a quick slap.
His nose twitches as he recognizes a scent approaching, a very familiar... familial one even! Before the room had a chance to be graced by the golden-furred feline's radiance, Otto was already peering back and wagging his tail once Eri enters. He snickers as she has some trouble getting through the door, then dives right in to wrap his arms around her front and give her a tight hug! "Hi Eri." he greets as he peers up at her with love and affection, before gently releasing her.
As if that wasn't good enough, the one that follows and pats his shoulder made the jackal barely able to resist his urge to just grab her and squeeze her tightly against himself. Rather, he kneels down and looks her over, then casts her a thumbs up and winks, "Looking well prepared, hon. Glad to have you with us!" and indeed he was~ "Let's go do some good out there. Make a change, leave a mark."
He did quite fondly remember Khaybat though, the doe seemingly sneaking into the room and quietly making her way into the room. A touch of Illusion Nanomagic was all Otto needed to give her a friendly grope on the rear, one no one else saw, but only she felt.
Rising the jackal leans against the table and states firmly, "No sir! Give us the code and the place to go and we'll be back in time for dinner!" he yips confidently, even going so far as to strike the table with one hand. He peers back at his colleagues and glances subtly at Ebreus, relieved that he was present to act as a buffer, or a spiked wall if need be, should he and Mokou clash.
Arris jumps a little at the slap to hir behind. Though the action isn't disliked, it does catch hir off guard for not expecting it. "Ah! Ah, aheh, well, I don't mind your prescence either, really."
The gator nods at the instructions given to hir. "Sounds simple enough. I'm hoping we have a map or something we can use to minimize the amount of time we spend in those sewers?" Sie grimace-smiles at the prospect of leaving the bubble, as mentioned by Ebreus. "Gee, I really would prefer to stay in the bubble, today. I learned a new nanomagic recently, and I'd like to try it in the field."
Eri goes from smiling so grandly and happily to wearing the face of worry as Otto hugs her. Her silky golden fur and bountiful amounts of cleavage cascading down her chest and under her tauric frame more or less enveloping Otto in fall of softness. Though it wasn't Otto so much as Otto's things that worried her. Her arms wanting to wrap around the Jackal but seemingly unable to find some place to plant her seemingly bear-sized paws, avoiding the chainsaw on his back so gruesomely painted and whatever poking bits he also had at the ends of barrels and so forth. In the end she but waves her paw at the pangolin and perhaps Ebrus and everyone else with her four seemingly defeated arms. While a soft scent of honey fills the room off the giant /lioness/ struck so silent.
A gaze that could bend steel was leveled upon the fennec lass as she entered into the room propper. A silent understanding passed in that simple, three word exchange. Not malevolence, but something simple in manner and equitable held between. Nothing was to be said, the lass pursing her lips for a brief moment before turning back from Ebreus. To deal with the rift there would be a matter beyond the scope of the present, and likely a trial of its own. Her ears held each sylable that was uttered, rolling them about before letting them sit. Quiet. Dead.
Life though, seemed to be the theme of the world aside from such a bleak touch. A familiar scent, grin and voice met her there, glancing up and down the familiar lad. "Thanks Otto. Still a little... offputting, but it is more than sufficient for most." A wink was offered back, the lass standing a touch closer to him as her tail irritatingly refused to still itself. "Do some good? Heh, That is what we can only hope and strive for. That a mark will be left?" A quiet yipping chuckle sounded as she nodded, glancing back between the lot, "The question is what sort of mark, not if a mark will be made hon... So let's make it a touch... better then, shall we?"
A brief nod was shot back towards Arris as she made her presence well and known, considering what information was presented. The fennec lass shook her head as she looked on over to Willy. Scribbling something down on her comms the lass quietly murmured to herself as she put the details together. "Sewer, Abandoned building, the sludge, underground... Alright. Can work with that." Her gaze fell behind her for a moment, Otto running over to the massive taur, wrapping arms about them in a tender embrace, even if it was hesitantly returned. A flick of her ears, the lass tilting her head, and she stored that away for later, a touch warmer smile offered back to the large one, quietly sniffing at the feeling as much as scent of honey seemed to roll off of them. Goodness... And she was... Goodness. "Err... Right. Questions? None. None viable at least. Save... when shall we go?"
Khaybat is just being her usual adorable bleat self! Upon spotting Otto though he suddenly has a fuzzy backpack in the shape of a deer hanging onto him. It would seem she hasn't forgotten about him saving her during the whole fiasco at the nuclear plant. Or the part where he carried her across the muck in the sewers.
Milo looks to Ebreus "As far as Zephyr understands how the bubble works, no. We expect the plant is somewhere on the outskirts of the city, and thus well within the bubble. As for Ferals, reports from Agents that within the Sewer there has been little resistance to their movement, thought as we have not been within the plant the same is not known. It is likely best to keep your wits about you." He then turns to Arris "The entrance is situated near the end of one of the main Sewer lines and the Queen gave us a general path, so getting there shouldn't be an issue, though due to age of information we do not know if there are any problems along the way. I would ask that such be recorded in any case for later time."
Looking about and believing most questions have been answered he smiles "Unless there is something else that needs to be dealt with, I have some lanterns should it been needed for you all and some recording paper if need be."
"And then you can be on your way. Good luck, and I hope to hear a report from you this evening."
Ebreus can't help but he lightly amused by his friends eagerness to just rush into battle without so much as knowing where the battle was. He'd never asked after where the skilled warrior/engineer was from but it seemed, at least to Ebreus, that Otto could fit in with quite a few warrior-cultures. Though that was a conversation for some other time, for now he turns his attention to the unfamiliar feline. "Guess you and Otto know eachother. Nice to meet you Eri." he says.
That was another think he would have to ask about some other time: why Otto liked this fennec that had endangered the life of his friend twice and his own life at least once. Again it was a subject for another time and this particular time the fennec was making sense, living leaves marks and one must be careful to make them benefitial.
There, apparently, being no questions beyond his own and Arrises. "Alright then, I guess we'll be headed off then. Otto and I should be able to handle any blockages without too much effort." He stretches lightly and moves his solar rifle from ballancing on his shoulder with the aid of one hand to being cradled in his upper arms, in a style similar to Bolba Fett, "And ferals shouldn't pose too much trouble to a group of this size."
The trek to the Sewers is brisk and cold, but nothing much the agents haven't seen before. Getting into the sewer though is a bit ooky, the sewer as usual is damp and dreary and has an almost creeping cold that tries to seep onto the agents.
Ebreus reaches and enters the sewer totally unphased by any of the, most likely, nausia inducing, oders, goos, and other disguesting things that may be there as his Power "Armor" was at least good for protecting him from hostile... or in this case disgusting environments. He glances back at the group to see how those without suits are doing, "Everyone okay? I know theres some stuff bad enough to turn the stomachs of seasoned agents down here."
"Pheeeeeewww... someone light a match." Otto jokes as he makes his way down into the damn, dark abyss of the sewer system. He had neglected his power... ahem... "armor", but was doing fine nonetheless. It was nothing he hadn't encountered before, in fact compared to the ultra excremental he'd once played part in taking down, this sewer was a field of flowers on a lovely spring day after some light rainfall.
He was carrying one of the lanterns, one in his left paw, leaving his right, dominant one free in case some sort of icky muck mutant decides it wants to shove its unmentionables in them. "Glad I didn't bring my coat. Icky... messy... I won't mention what we are probably walking in, ladies and gentlemen, just try not to think about it!" he announces, lifting his lantern to have a good look around.
"Yeeeah, we're on the right trail alright... buuut... I mean... oh jeeze." the jackal covers his muzzle and nods towards what lay ahead. "That's a big ol' steaming pile of multi-colored sludge right there. I'll bet any one of you five hundred creds something manifests from it. I've seen worse... rainbow puke demons..." he muses with a shake of his head. "You folks doing alright? Arris? Mokou? Eri? Khay?"
As the gator descended down into the sewers, sie would get a little lightheaded at the stench. Covering hir nostrils with a hand does nothing to filter out the stench. "Oh, god, it's worse than I remember." Hir eyes water a little, unable to take the smell. Hir memories of this place from long ago were rose-tinted at best: maybe sie didn't have as accurate sense of smell back then, or maybe all the gators sie did helped mask the disgusting smell. "No, not one bit," sie would respond to Otto. Thinking for a moment, sie would pull out a hankerchief, tea bag, and a rubber band from hir pockets, before Arris makes a makeshift gas mask. Only slightly more pleasant than hir surroundings, but it was an improvement.
Eri turns up her nose and otherwise waits for everyone else to proceed before she decides to take a moment and unfur herself, leaving nothing for the filth to stick to. And instead await to be the last to go down the manhole. "It isn't the worst I've dealt with..." She whispers to herself before beginning her dark descent, hoping to still yet remember who she is, and not have to follow a paper trail telling her she's been a horrible person...
Mokou=as must as you can tell, it actually seems to be ripples in the pile and splits...it kinda looks like it might be several goo girls all mingled together.
Khaybat meanwhile continues trying to follow after Otto and Ebreus though she's a deer so it shouldn't be surprising in the least. This time she at least has her own suit to get through the muck though so that's an improvement from the last visit she did to the sewer.
Down back into the dark, dank musty caverns of the sewers. Her boots hit the sludge heavy, every step seeming to suck her down, pulling back into the mire that was the place. Mokou gave a shallow breath, thankful that at the very least, her frame provided some help for this... place. A slow breath, the lass holding that rubbery nozzle infront of her, that metalic backpack of hers unmoving, quietly sloshing as she paced onwards. Had cost her an arm and a leg, but at least this... suit helped. A slow sigh fell from her lips, a murky mist seeming to fall as she trudged onward. Ebreus's pause held her up, the lass glancing to those familiar and no. Otto trudged on, implacable as ever, though it seemed the more sewer oriented companion was.... not doing as well. She stepped back, moving in step beside Arris as sie gagged on a... teabag. A flick of her ear, before she shrugged. Whatever helped, helped.
A few steps onward, the lass keeping an eye out in the dim light till Otto called back. A trail as much as a pile of garbage before them, swirling and rippling betwixt itself. Her eyes narrowed, piecing together curves and turns, molds... and... somthing off. "I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts that you're right Otto... Kinda reminds me of Jade, you know, the lass from Red Court, after a nasty bender." Leveling that nozzel at the pile of sludge, she glanced back for but a moment, that massive taur now much... slighter. "Come on... either through this... blast, or around in uncharted territory. Path of most resistance and all." Glancing back at the pile, a quiet sigh fell from her lips. "Now... just have to hope they didn't give us the place they couldn't use because of these rainbowballs..."
As the group apporaches the bridge, the pile of goo girls that Otto and Mokou saw mentions suddenly rises up and stands in the way of the entrance to the bridge. In front of them, they now find what looks like a giant blob of goo girls standing in front of them at least 10 in count, all seemingly fused together and sharing one giant body at the moment. As the rise they look to the group and say in chorus "PAY THE TOLL TO CROSS!" as some of them point to the payment machine beside the bridge.
looking at the machine, the group would see what seems to be a display listing 10 thousand freecreds, an access point for transfering funds and a ticket printer.
Ebreus nods once as Otto confirms that the sewer is still an environmental hazard that makes him glad he is wearing his armor. He readies his rifle so punch holes through any mutant unlucky enough to try to jump them. "Sorry Otto... was a bit to lax on training with Burninate." he lets his unpowered friend know that he's got no flames with which to burn away the odor as the gater proves themselves not to be a sewer gator as they quickly make a gassmask.
Seeing the rest of the party make their way down he looks back down the path they were to travel as Mokou points out a danger... moments before it presents itself to them. He has his Solar Rifle trained on it the whole time. "I am a representative of the Eureka government and the Promethean organization. Here on a joint operation on behalf of Zephyr Inc. On whos authority are you operating a toll bridge?" he retorts.
The jackal sighs softly and shakes his head. "Uhm... no." he says quietly, then offers his fennec lass one hand. Lifting her up against himself once she takes it, the jackal moves to brush past Ebreus and then heaves the mass of slime over himself, their mass proving a strain on his arms, but not enough to prevent him from slipping right under the opening he'd made for himself, taking Mokou with him. She was small, and that came with its set of advantages. Being light and maneuverable to name two, and easy to move around in situations like this.
Setting the lass back down, the jackal makes his way to the other end of the bridge, then settles down in the lotus position there and leans back against the nearby wall. "Hey, you listen to Eb, goo girls! Zephyr has custody of the building and what not! Legal jargon, objection and what not..." he says calmly as he crosses one leg over the other, and awaits to see what the others do.
Arris follows shortly behind the group, unslinging hir rifle from hir shoulder to fix a silencer onto the tip of the barrel. The pile of goo suddenly coming to life catches hir off guard, though sie tries hir best not to fall down and land in some pile of sludge sie didn't spot earlier. Regaining hir composure, sie glances between the goo blob, then the machine, then to the blob again. Seeing hir teammates Ebreus attempt to get a toll permit from the goo pile and Otto supporting him, sie would look to the machine. "Gah, jesus, anything to get out of here faster." Approaching it, sie holds hir tablet up to the access point and let up the 10k cred payment listed.
Arris spends 10000 Freecred for RP reasons.
Eri silently folds her four arms over herself not allowing her distaste for the smell to show, appearing calm silent if not off in her own little world, at least until Otto makes a brash move, forcing her to throw her hands to help Otto, though she's apparently not on the top of her game today even as titanic as she is crammed into such a small space likely doesn't help. And in the end all she seems to do was make herself icky for the time being. And without wishing to be stuck under the beast she relents and backs away as fast as she can manage.
For a moment, Mokou quietly sighed, putting the heft of her palm against her scalp, slowly rubbing her forehead as her ears caught those words. Not the words of payment. Sludge monsters can charge whatever they want for their bridge, its likely been the only one there for ages after all. But the... permit... authority... toll bridge... For a moment though, she thought to do something. To speak likely, as horrid as that always turns out. However, the offering of a hand was enough to let her know that... twasn't the only one on that front. Lifted by Otto, a quiet chuckle fell from her lips, the lass pulling out her comms for a moment. A transaction code pulled up, slapped against the toll machine as they passed. Twas enough to set her back a while... but worth it. A friend close and... that other lass. Eri was it? Possible friend then... Another touch wired through, the lass making it through with the other two, settling upon the far way. A gaze tossed back, looking to the small doe, a questioning glance offered, comms hoisted as though in question...
Mokou spends 30000 Freecred for RP reasons.
Khaybat ends up staring at the lewdgoo amalgamation and ends up watching the others put their money in the machine. The doe shuffles over to the machine and puts her own money in--though where it comes from is hard to guess--but rather than immediately shuffle after the others she ends up making to try shyly touching them.
Ebreus looks momentarily surprized as Otto just walks on past, focing the goo out of the way and bringing Mokou with him as Eri attempts, and fails, to follow. He resumes his glare at the giant goo as he spies Arris pay the toll and whent on ahead... leaving him, Eri, and Khaybat to pass the giant goo, having not noticed Mokou pay for several people while she was spirited acrost. He sighs when the doe also just pays the toll and goes to move on... thinking to himself, 'Why is it that nothing goes well when the Fennec is involved?
The Goo Girls yell "MEANIE!" at Otto after having shoved his way through them their body reforming into the original block. The group then looks back to Eberus "This bridge is our own and no one elses. Zephyr has never come down to claim this place, so why should we bother." They say before they are handed the tickets for Eri and Arris and lets them pass.
The Girls giggle a little at the shy touch as Khaybat makes her cross "We are always welcome to have others join in sometime..." they say with a giggle. "Maybe even become like us."
Khaybat spends 10000 Freecred for RP reasons.
"Cry me a river!" Otto replies with a loud yell, having also not noticed Mokou pay the toll for the others. He does see the tickets be handed to Eri and Arris, though... and his initiative to go help his mother had immediately fading once she was given a way through by means unknown. He blinks and shrugs, figuring someone paid? Was it Arris? Who knew... The jackal reaches into his pack and pulls out a laptop, then opens it up and starts to fiddle with it, gesturing for Arris, Mokou, Eri and basically everyone on the other side to come and have something to do. Pulling up some footage he'd recovered from a hard drive, he shows them a (if somewhat low quality) playback of someone's vacation video. They were in Paris, at the Eiffel Tower, before this whole nanite mess had happened. The tall structure was beautiful in the shots, lined with lights and shining bright in the nightly background, tourists of all... well, they were all human, and all looked alike to Otto now...
Ebreus looks momentarily surprized as Otto just walks on past, focing the goo out of the way and bringing Mokou with him as Eri attempts, and fails, to follow. He resumes his glare at the giant goo as he spies Arris pay the toll and whent on ahead... leaving him, Eri, and Khaybat to pass the giant goo, having not noticed Mokou pay for several people while she was spirited acrost. He sighs when the doe also just pays the toll and goes to move on... thinking to himself, 'Why is it that nothing goes well when the Fennec is involved?'
He can't help but snerk when the goo calls Otto a meanie. He takes a step closer and continues, "Well then you have nothing backing you up then. I'd rather not waist slugs or grenades so how about this, get out of my way and I'll fly acrost, not touching your bridge at all." Should the goo comply he does flies as offered.
Arris would peer over Otto's shoulder at the screen, at the photos of Paris, and the Eiffel tower. "Oh! Is that France? My parents told me all about that place! They say Paris is the city of love... or, something." The gator goes starry eyed, finned tail wagging excitedly as sie forgets about the pervasive scent of the sewers, even if for a moment. "Once we can get a boat or plane or something, I'd love to see the Louvre!" The sparkle in hir eyes dims a little. "...uh, assuming that France is okay. And, it... probably isn't, knowing what happened to Japan..."
Eri trying to fling the mess off herself from trying to help Otto or even follow after the salamanderess merely remains a silent giant standing before the mass of goo girls and folding her arms across her chest and taking her ticket, pretending like nothing happened and silently going on her way after Otto...
Settling down on the other side, Mokou quietly pulled up her feet underneath her, glancing back at the laptop. A portal to a world hardly known anymore. A picture... a moving one that told of a world she only remembered in the stories of books now. A tower... Eiffel her memory provided. Looking at the world thorough that tiny portal to the past, her ears perked at the words provided. Louvre... Palace of Pictures and Photos. Right... She only just registered her pawpad brushing by the side of the screen... Pulling it back just after. "I've... Man... Look at all the... Humans... They look so..." She paused... furrowing her brow. Eyes lit upon them... before she stood, shaking her head. Never...nevermind that.
When the goo girls say about playing Khaybat wiggles in place and seems to look from side to side, then goes to hand the goo girls a piece of paper with the letters IOU on it. Seems she intends to come back after the group is done and see if the goos will really make goo on their offer to play with her.
The Goo Girls shrug as Ebreus flies past without touching the bridge and lands on the other side, and giggle and take the IOU from Khaybat before they slide off into their pile as the group has finished crossing. Continuing ahead, they group journey's around a corner and find themselves looking at the back of slough, which is pouring into the main path. There does seem to be a gap to the sides of the drop, but it's a little bit of a tight squeeze.
Ebreus spends 4000 builder mass for RP reasons.
Ebreus lands after getting around the nusince of a goo and their roll bridge. He spies the group looking at Ottos laptop and grins, "Nice scenery." he says as he continues to walk. He then calls back, "Oh by the way I got a laptop as well Otto, if you don't mind I could use a copy of the floorplan you were workin' on." As they round the corner and see a swamp of sewage he shakes his head and after a short while of focus and some expendature of builder nanites he has made a clear path and treks onward, "Hopefully nobody claims this as their toll bridge on the way back." he comments as he crosses.
"Sure Eb. I'll send em over. And yes, actually." he answers the others once the laptop was put away, one paw extending to be placed over Mokous as she reaches for the screen. "I've never been to France, but I would love to see what became of Europe. So much culture... be a shame if it... vanished." he sighs as his friend worked on that bridge. Once it was done, the jackal makes sure not to slip and fall into the... erh... liquid (gag), his nostrils burning as he struggles to keep his lunch down, the disgusting cascade of waste really putting his stomach to the test.
He icks and he yucks, he blehs and he blarghs, he tip-toes across the path made and takes care to watch the others, hoping they'd not need to rescue anyone from a most disgusting fate... Once the gap is cleared, the canine presses his fingers into his thumbs and makes a mock pair of binoculars over his eyes. "Oh look, the door we were sent to unlock. That was easy. Fifty creds says something jumps out at us right before we get there?" he offers with a chuckle, then looks around "Okay, who has the code? Hon? You were writing things down, right?" he turns to Mokou.
