salty potato.
x'xas she tromped through the marsh, nova kept trying to contact her friends.

x'xmila still hadn’t replied to her message, which was starting to equally annoy and concern her. cade wasn’t answering either, despite him being apparently unoccupied enough to pester nova in the middle of a strife just a few seconds ago. “dammit.”

x'xshe captchalogued her phone into her twerk modus. nova wasn’t in a twerking mood to retrieve it later, in the event that mila or cade finally managed to check their pesterchum and talk to her, but oh well, better suck it up and take care of that later. also she was getting a little tired of carrying around both her phone and lucille. her outfit was fine as hell but unfortunately, didn’t have a functioning pocket that was big enough for it. the struggles of wearing designer outfits. robbed of a decent pocket. maybe she could alchemize you sexy thang the soonest she could with something that has big pockets, see if that would work and give her an outfit where she can store her phone without having to captchalogue it.

x'xfor now, nova could try and see what that beacon-looking beam of light in the distance was all about. it looked pretty far, but there really wasn’t much else to do other than cower down by the little brook where she woke up next to like a little wimp and wait for that feeling of danger, which she’d already put down as something that was as much as part of the world (but didn’t really help her any either) as much as, she supposed, the eternal night was part of LODAI.

x'xvoices suddenly floated through the trees, making her flinch and jump. in the other direction, she could hear something clanking through the forest, as though someone wearing a suit of armor decided to take a merry little stroll through the marsh. on one hand, probably people, but too many. on the other hand, person. but wearing armor. nova considered her options for a minute, before striding off into the marsh and acquaint herself with the Armored Individual, keeping lucille in striking position, just in case. if they weren’t as agreeable as she would have liked, she could just hit them in the face and make a break for it to the voices, in the hope that they could take care of the Armored Individual for her. if they decided to attack her as well…well then.

x'xthe marsh was miserably wet and sticky; before long there were flecks of mud all over her and she was wet with mucky water from the knees down, but she toiled on, and she, indeed, found an Armored Individual in the marsh. nova couldn’t see the expression on their face, but she ruminated that they must be at least, if not more, uncomfortable than she. if nova decided to go stomping through a marsh she knew she’d be uncomfortable. keeping lucille in full view of the Armored Individual, in case they dared to try something (though she didn't entirely see how a wooden bat, albeit one coated in steel barbs) could be too intimidating to one covered head to toe in steel, she asked. “why are you walking in a marsh in full armor?”

Fernando "The Self-Appointed Knight" // Paladins // Tags: Nova

Fernando glanced up from pulling his boot out of the mud again to the voice of a woman. He looked to her, seeing that this "woman" wasn't much more than a girl. An armed girl, at that.
"Because it's better than walking in a marsh naked." He joked with a grin, moving one hand behind his back in a polite gesture and using the other hand to raise the visor on his helmet. The girl seemed as caked in mud as he was, and he assumed that even without a suit of armour, the mud was a similar problem for her as it was for him, if not quite as much.
"But seriously, expensive armour, I'll get in trouble if I lose it... Now, how did you find your way out here, señorita?"




Kinessa "The Bounty Hunter" // Paladins // Tags: Mikhail

Kinessa raised a brow, lowering her weapon a bit. A saying from her mentor, Strix, rang through her mind as she observed this newcomer's attitude, The cockiest one is the one who is most afraid. Taking this assumption regardless of whether or not it was true about the stranger, she raised a hand off of her gun to flick a strand of hair from her face, before stating in a much warmer tone, "Well, I am Kinessa, The Bounty Hunter. I'm not playing a trick on you, although you probably could tell if I was." she chuckled, "I'm a pretty straightforward gal."
She moved her hand back to her gun, not dropping it completely, but still holding it low, "I don't suppose you know why I- we- are here, hmm?"

water. that was the first thing the child felt. water. she was quite surprised to find herself half submerged in a body of water, she assumed it may have been a river. that made it even more strange. she was never near any water before she lost consciousness? where was she? had someone taken her? surely that couldn't have happened, someone would have stopped it from happening. unless everyone had been taken!

she jolted up, eyes wide and panic flooding her youthful features, but nobody was to be seen...she was completely alone. it wasn't that she wasn't looking hard enough - you can't really miss a huge transformer. her lips parted to allow a sigh to pass through them as she began to rise to her feet, scanning her surroundings, hoping to notice something vaguely familiar but it resulted in being a fruitless task and a waste of valuable time. izabella stepped out of the water quickly, noting that the ground around it was damp and mossy as well - that appeared to be the case for anywhere she looked.

beep. her head cocked to the side once she heard that noise as she debated whether or not it was in her imagination. beep. there it was again! her pace quickened as she raced towards the beeping and found her small robot companion, sqweeks, on a mossy rock. "sqweeks! hey buddy!" she exclaimed, rushing to the autobot and hugging him, pleased to find a familiar face. once she got the greeting out of the way, her attention shifted to the current situation once more. she was hopelessly lost. well, almost hopeless. now that she had sqweeks with her it made everything slightly more bearable.

aigis tried not to mind the readings appearing infront of her eyes, information rushing through a box to her right, while her scanners were trying to figure out both deku and the monster at once. taking a sharp breathe in, aigis watched heat spark up and rise from the young boy's body at amazing speed, like something was wavering through him. keeping her body still, the robot watched amazing force an power reading flash from the massive attack done to the monster. just one punch from him and i could end up with missing parts. an inner voice echoed, trying to stand straight, she began to dash and quickly as she could, her boosters flared but then cut out, aigis realised she should save them. keeping her body low to the ground and her arms weightless, her bro furrowed. looking back she could sense heat through the tree's.
"were in hot pursue!" stumbling a bit the mechanical girl wondered if she'd use that term right. aigis kinda picked up on phrases others say and use them, but often she'd get odd looks from others, making her realise her mistakes. giving her head a light shake, agis leaped off the ground, jumping much higher then any human ever could, mid air she spin her wrists, having spinning bullets fly at the monster. to her disbelief, the creature had good reflexes and was able to avoid a few of them, although it did seem like the attack kept it back momentarily. when she landed, her legs sunk into the each and pulling them out was a bit annoying. catching up with the teen, aigis hadn't really noticed out small and young he looked. all of her friends were finishing highschool, other then ken and koromaru, one being in junior high the other being a dog. keeping her thoughts on task, she starred directly at him with her dull, yet sky blue eyes. "do you know what that thing is? could you give me any information?"

watching them get, up, morgana began to rub at his ears with his long arms, looking up every few moments to make sure they were distracted by eachother to notice. prime and pauline, those aren't traditional japanese named, not that it really matters. a wide grin smeared across the creatures face and prime acknowledged morgana's 'knowledge' around here. giving a sharp nod, he opened his mouth to start giving commands. "right, first w-" a sharp tone cut him off, leaving morgana frowning with a scowl. tilting his head, and his gaze, away from the pair, the bobble head cat kept going. "first things first, i'm no cat. and second of all, you two follow me closely behind, if i tell you something you gotta do it." although he words seemed sharp, morgana's tone was actually pretty calm and loose, as if these orders weren't really all that important. walking towards the hope filled beam in the sky, a shine in his eyes sparkled, interest spiking his short fur.
walking felt like forever though, the sun was hot on his black fur, his rubbery mask even itched, although from what he knew it was impossible to remove, as if he were born wearing it. letting out a heavy sigh, he checked behind him on the two with a sispicious glance, only to dart his eyes forward again. "here, let's take a breather." the massive beam didn't look too far, but morgana assumed these two would need a break. in the metaverse no one really got hungry or anything, and usually the group would eat before, atleast, thats what he saw, while he was stuck on cat wet food. (but morgana kinda started to like it.) maybe they would catch the fish that seemed common in the rivers and let him eat some, although morgana had a taste for rich fancy food, that could do too. pausing and sitting on a soaked, rotting log morgana peered around for anything that caught his eye.

The reaction he received was less than thriller. Maybe this woman was nothing like Patroka was. What a shame. He was hoping for some entertainment. Letting a sigh escape his lips, he figured he could try to work with her or at least answer her questions instead of deflecting them off even if he wasn't all that fond of humans after everything that had happened back home. It didn't mean he had to trust her if he was answering her questions. "Alright, the name's Mikhail. Feel free to call me Mik if that's easier for you to remember," he finally said as he allowed his body to relax momentarily. There was no reason for him to be tense in a situation like this even though the woman didn't seem to be letting up on holding her weapon. Then again what else would he expect from a bounty hunter? It wasn't a term that was necessarily used back home, but it had been in old texts he had read and it certainly matched up with some people back home. Pretty much anyone that was chasing after Rex and the Aegis could be considered such or at least depending on their reasons for doing so. The boy certainly had a bounty on his head and was being hunted because of it. That was what he got for becoming the driver of the most powerful blade. Then there were people like him and the others in Torna who could careless about the money involved. All they wanted was the Aegis so that Malos could regain his power. His sister was the only one that could do that thus they had to join the fray. That was irrelevant now though. He was thinking too far into her title. "As for where we are. I don't have a clue. Just woke up in this place with no idea of where I am or what is going on. So I guess that doesn't really help you out now does it?" He really didn't have the answers for her. Then again did anyone in this place have answers? Looking at this place he highly doubted that anyone actually lived here.

Carefully watching the nomu, Izuku made sure not to avert his eyes too much just in case it came charging at them and tried attacking. Though his eyes were on the creature, he was listening to Aigis speak. The phrase that came from her wasn't one he saw fitting the situation, but he could assume that she might not be fully aware of such given what she appeared to be. That didn't matter now anyways. Hearing her begin to shoot off bullets again, he watched as the nomu managed to dodge some while the others phased it only slightly. This wasn't like the first nomu he had encountered that was meant to match All Might. This was more along the lines of the ones that had attacked the city while they were dealing with Slain. He had only briefly encountered them, but with how easily Slain had managed to take down the one that grabbed him, he could assure this one was along the same variant as that. It still absorbed some of the attacks, but it wouldn't take as much to take it down. Maybe they could actually stay and fight it off then. For a moment his gaze broke from their opponent to land on Aigis as she approached. He could feel her eyes on him and it made him a bit uncomfortable. It was almost as if he couldn't tell if she fully trusted him or not. He could understand why. His power was probably something strange to her. Not many people his age or size would be able to pull off a punch like he just had. Her question was what really mattered though. Deku's eyes moved back to the monster and have gave her a small nod.

"I know some information, but not a ton." He knew these things were somehow involved with the League of Villains and that they likely had more than one quirk. It made them dangerous. "Back home I've seen these things a few times. They typically only appear when the League of Villains are around though and they tend to have more than one quirk. Most of them are quite durable and seem to absorb attacks. This one seems to be taking some damage though, but we need to be careful. My mentor fought one of these and it took a lot out of him." He still questioned whether or not he would be able to take a nomu down after that. He had to believe. While he had been speaking, he had lost his focus on the creature only to have an ugly surprise. Feeling a fist collide into his gut, a scream escaped his throat and he went flying back from the impact. It was a few seconds before he landed with a splash in a nearby stream. Whatever had been present of full cowl had vanished for the moment and he struggled to pop his head from the water.

That was painful. I really should have been more careful. He thought as he finally was able to get his footing in the stream and keep his head above the water. The punch had been more painful that he had predicted, but he couldn't back down now. "Don't let it hit you, Aigis-san!" He could only imagine the damage a punch would bring to her if it landed. That was something he needed to prevent.

Prime & Pauline

Highlight for tags;; morgana

As Morgana spoke, Prime slipped off his tshirt and wrung it out, letting the water dribble back into the pond. Even though it was still rather damp, he put it back on with hope it'd dry out in the sun. Glancing up, he realized the cat was already setting a brisk pace ahead of them. The girl beside him snorted. "Tch. Bossy and too big for its boots. It's your spirit animal."
The elemental decided it was better to ignore her, running along the foot bridge to catch up with Mona. Despite having short legs, the little creature could move quite quickly. With a snort, the werewolf followed him.
Luckily, the cat eventually paused for a break. Though Prime was fit, walking at that speed for that amount of time admittedly left him a little short of breath. He took a seat on a large, flat stone beside him, letting out a sigh. Pauline leapt up beside him, having shifted into her wolf form at some point along the way. Her auburn legs were dripping wet, having decided to walk through every stream and pool instead of jumping over them or going around them. He moved away from her. His jeans were just beginning to dry and he definitely didn't want her mud covered paws anywhere near them. "Sounds good to me. " He leant back on his arms and glanced around. So, other than heading towards this... Beacon, what are your plans?

although the mechanical girl took in all the information she got, aigis couldn't say she understood all that izuku said. 'league of villains' had no meaning to her, but it defiently didn't sound good, especially if monsters like this one tend to be near it. aigis already understood that it was absorbing her bullets, although the fact that athena couldn't cut through it did give her a shock. opening her mouth to reply aigis began to speak, before letting out a yell of concern and surprise. the rings around her pupils shortened as she watched the young teenager get pulled away from her and injured. almost causing the robot to stop in her tracks and run after him, although after seeing him land in a body of water, she was quite sure that he'd return safely. in fact the beast seemed to have its eyes on him for the moment, giving her a chance to strike it once more. "come to me! athena!" the girl called out once more, blue glass shattering off her head and dissapearing slowly in mid air. in a instant the massive goddess-looking persona appeard with a shield. slamming the round metal peice straight into the creature, pushing it back and preventing it from attacking her. taking the moment of opportunity, as soon as athena faded, aigis rolled to the side and heard deku calling out to her. looking up she saw a massive fist preparing to beat straight into her. letting out a small gasp, aigis rolled again just missing its attack, the heat from its body being able to run across her side even though they hadn't made direct contact. aigis was able to calmly smile and call out.

"do not worry deku-san, i can handle this!" the disks on each side of her head began to spin and illuminate a deep red. "orgia mode activated." she whispered to herself, the boosters on each of her legs were flaming without control, lifting her above the nomu. firing bullets at a much faster speed, aigis fell back to the ground and began attacking once more. "persona!" athena joined her side immedietly and stabbed the monster with the massive javalin she weilded, although it phased through its body the creature made a sound in protest againt the flaming pain it must have felt momentarily. boosting behind it and kicking it with her powerful legs, trying to cut through its thick, dark skin, the robot suddenly shot back, leaping far away from the creature. an awful sound boomed from her body, as clashes of sparks, and streams of smoke reeled form her arms and head. collapsing halfway, holding herself up ith one leg, she tilted her head towards the boy in the water, her eyes flashing with pain and determination. "please! thats all i can do for now, distract it now!" a small ripple of fear that izuku wouldn't be able to reach it in time and miss this oppertunity to attack, or worse get either of them injured, washed over her. the being seemed to be quite damaged and injured from her sudden outburst of power, yet it didn't let it on very well.[/color]

the creature's tail whisked care-free, pacing back and forth behind him. listening to his words, morgana attempted not to make eye contact, as if he was busy thinking about something else. what will i do? his mind echoed back. furrowing his brow morgana crossed his long, but tiny arms looking back to the man. honestly his wolf friend bothered morgana, other then the totally-jelous-of-her-powers part, her size and ferocity made him quiver, only a bit. she couldn't be nearly as bad as anything he'd seen, his mind reminded him. "well, going home is number one on my list." obviously. taking a deep breathe in he shrugged. "i'd like to scope this place out if i get a chance too, who knows, i might see some firmiliar faces." hopping off the log, morgana frowned, putting an arm out, as if he was going to fall over. "mgh, i feel like were being watched, maybe we should hurry and try to reach that beacon." peering up at the sky, he noted how close it looked now.

hearing a rustling in the bushes, his eyes became quite animated and out of character, tiny round pupils shimmering with worry and shock as he heard a firmiliar drippy sound. dashing in front of the two, morgana held out his saber in a battle stance. getting ready to warn them a fairy came out from the darkness, dressed in blue with white wings. the human looking tiny sprite gave a laugh and morgana winced. "a shadow! careful you two, or it will try and kill you." his tone was matter of fact, but morgana was quite worried. without his party he was sure he could fight it, but that was just what morgana kept telling himself. plus, this is another factor that this is the metaverse. "stay calm!" he called out, moments after he yelled another phrase, scratching his voice. "persona! come to me!" a blue light formed behind the cat-like creature. a massive body wearing a small cap and cape appeard, slicing the fairy with it's puny sword, having her grunt in pain, red and black shadowy bits sizzling off of her. "almost done." morgana reminded himself. running towards her and using his own saber to cut the tiny sprite, making her poof into black smoke. after a few moments morgana breathed in and turned towards the two. that'll show them that im a fine leader! putting his arms on his sides, morgana grinned. "you two alright?"

"Because it's better than walking in a marsh naked." He joked with a grin, moving one hand behind his back in a polite gesture and using the other hand to raise the visor on his helmet.

There, that was more like it! Much more respect from the stranger, and even a name! Kill 'em with kindness, she'd been taught.
Kinessa made warm and gentle eye contact with Mikhail, nodding, "Actually, it helps quite a bit. If you and I, random strangers, have been thrown into... wherever we are... that means there might be more people."
The ex-Sentinel glanced around for a moment, before spotting a beacon in the sky far from their location, "There, a landmark. Maybe we can find other people there." She noted to Mikhail, waving a hand toward the light.

He could careless about the gentleness this woman seemed to be looking at him with. It was actually a bit irritating to him. Crossing his arms over his chest, he simply listened to what she had to stay. He supposed he could see what she was saying, though the information was hardly anything to go off of. It could be possible that there were more around but he could careless. The less the better in his mind. He was sure she would disagree with him on such. Shifting his gaze toward the beacon in the sky, he quirked a brow slightly. Could such really be called a landmark? It appeared to be in the sky and not on the ground. Certainly that meant they couldn't reach it without finding a way to the air. "Right, we could find others there, but doesn't that seem a bit out of reach? That light is in the sky and we aren't," he pointed out in a rather cynical manner. Some logic needed to be used when thinking this through.

Izuku "Deku" Midoriya

His eyes widened as Aigis summoned the strange woman again to attack and it seemed to cause her to only cause more damage to herself. He couldn't let her continue to do such a thing to herself, but he couldn't find the strength to move forward. He could only slowly inch forward through the water, wincing in pain with each step he took. He was stronger than this. One punch couldn't take him out like that. Managing to make his way out of the stream, he ignored the breeze that hit him and caused a shiver to go down his spine. Glancing at the nomu momentarily, his eyes quickly moved back to Aigis as she was almost hit by the creature. He was about to yell out again, but hearing her reassure him that she could handle it silenced him and he gave a curt nod. If anything he had to trust her. In this fight she was his partner and they had to believe in one another or else they would fail.

Keeping silent, he watched as she seemed to form another plan of attack. She truly was amazing. It was hard for him not to geek out in the moment even when he was in such pain. In his moment of awe he had become oblivious to the fact that she might be causing more damage to her own body. It wasn't until the loud, booming sound came from her body that he snapped back into the reality of it all. Watching the sparks fly from her body followed by smoke instantly caused him to move forward. She didn't even have to ask him to do it. She could have asked him to run and he would have still run to her. He couldn't leave her here. Moving his eyes to the nomu, he could see it charging at Aigis, preparing to attack her with all its strength. At that moment, the energy burst through his body and full cowling took over.

"Leave her alone!" he cried out. It was almost too late by the time he managed to reach Aigis, but as soon as he was in front of her, he pushed himself at the nomu and tackled it to the ground. Such a tactic probably wasn't his best choice, but it was the first thing he had thought of to get it away from her. Almost as soon as the two of them hit the ground, he felt himself thrown off. Rolling across the ground, a few soft cries escaped his lips. There was no way he could take this thing on with only the five percent of power he was using. As much as he hated thinking of switching to using a full powered blast, it might be their only option of escape. Besides, he didn't have much time to think. As he lifted his head from the ground, he could already see the nomu getting to its feet.

Struggling to get up, Deku pushed himself to his knees and lifted a hand while pulling a finger back in preparations to send a full powered blast from it. "Please, please work," he mumbled under his breath. He couldn't afford to use all his fingers to fight off this thing. Taking aim as the nomu turned to charge him, the teen flicked his finger forward causing an extremely powerful blast to escape from it. The force of it knocked him back, but also sent the nomu flying as well as causing several trees to come crashing down. Letting out a soft cry after the fact, Izuku held his hand close to his chest. The pain never got any easier to deal with, but at least he had bought them some time. He couldn't tell how far the nomu had gone, but it was out of his current sight.

At that moment, he remembered Aigis and he quickly turned himself to look in her direction. It was obvious that she was damaged greatly. It made him feel awful. Not bothering to stand, he made his way across the ground to her and sat on his knees before her with his hand to clutched close to his chest. "Aigis-san, are you going to be alright?"

Kinessa "The Bounty Hunter" // Paladins // Tags: Mikhail

Kinessa looked at him, one brow raised. Okay, he was a quick talker, that much she had learned, but it did not seem like his thinking was quite as fast.
"I meant under the light." She replied, looking him in the eye, "It's probably signalling the presence of something under it."
She swung her rifle into the sheath on her back and walked past him, in the direction of the light, not awaiting a response. Her boots sank into the sticky mud a bit as she was reminded of the environment, but she continued to trudge, not wanting to let it slow her.
