ITT: We Are Our Epic Avatars

Toya: ...

-Folds her hands and arms into a classic Gendo Pose-

That's quite a unique book you have there, miss...where did you acquire it?

-the sudden question breaks her concentration, and the dark energy dissipitates-

Ahem. It... it was given to me by the Citadel shortly after my creation. Aside from the clothes on my back, it's the only old possession of mine I still have.

Toya: Hmmmm. I see. Who's the author of that book?

I... I don't know. It doesn't say. -she holds the book up: sure enough, the cover on both sides only contains the words Codex Dolar-

I guess it was probably the Citadel.

-she gives Toya a suspecious glance-

But... why are you so interested in it?

Toya: ...

-Looks fairly disappointed-

I see...

And I'm interested because I like to read books. Nothing more, nothing less.

-she sighs, and focuses once again. The shadow returns, before taking the shape of some money: specifically, a data card, containing well over 200,000 credits. More than enough for a meal for four-

-with another sigh it solidifies and lands in her hand, and Codex Dolar disappears-

-having done this, she turns back to Toya-

"Oh... well, we had a lot of books onboard the Citadel, though I was the only person that really read them..." -sigh-

"It's not easy. We're all so different..."

Where is everybody? o_O

Toya: "It's hard being a grown-up bookworm living in a giant floating castle that travels the cosmos. It's hard and nobody understands."

Sunny : *just watches*

Firefox crashed

¬_¬

"Anyway... guys, order up." -she holds up the card, as they head into the resteraunt-

-Tyki, however, stays outside, and approaches Sunny cautiously, giving the insect a nervous smile-

"He-hey there..."

Toya:-Shrugs as Lan walks away from her to head to the cafe while Toya Hachijo stays in the restaurant-

Everyone has troubles, deary.

"Everyone... what, did you say?" -she hands Zan the card, as she comes back out-

"Everyone has problems...?! Do you have any idea the sort of crap I've had to put up with...?!"

Soap: -looks over to Lan- Have you ever become the leader of a top-notch black ops team, only for your top dog and leader of the US Military to kill every single one of your members except for you and a former special ops member, then stab a knife through your chest and force you to throw the knife into his head after pulling it out of your own chest to kill him and save your friend, all as an attempt to vindicate 50,000 dead Marines who died from a nuclear blast?

Toya: @Lan Go ahead and tell me...

-she pauses at Soap's sudden interruption, and averts her gaze-

"I... no." -she doesn't say another word, but inside she curses her short-sightedness as she goes back into the resteraunt-

*Stupid, stupid stupid stupid! Stop complaining, your life has been a pancake in-comparison to most of these people...*

-meanwhile, Tyki is still sat down, and waits patiently for the small mechanical dragonfly to respond-

Roach: I think you were too harsh on the poor guy.

Price: -eating- Says the man wearing a skull mask.

???: *He plucks himself out of the tv screen* "Wow, you guys had it rough, huh?"

Hakurei Miko: "Come on, most us have been through alot in the past. Take me for instance, trying to return home is no easy task for me."

Yuri◊: ...Yeah, I been through a lot as well. Probably not to the degree that you guys have...

-they collect their food as the three of them leave, having picked up some pasta for Tyki, and sit down. Well, except for Sholryk: he stands up, for fear he might break the chair-

Lan: No, i-it wasn't my place to say that. Our lives haven't been as hard as I sometimes like to think... besides, we probably deserved it for the things we did...

-at this point, various civilians have started gathering around the various oddly dressed individuals-

"Oi, wot're ya looking at?! AYE?!"

"Oh, uh, nothin', please don't kill me!" -the by-stander runs for it-

"Heh, yeah, showed 'im..."

-as the strange creature appears, Tyki turns and gives a loud Squee-

Tyki: I-it's... so cute...!

???: "Who, me?" *He points to himself.*

Eventua, just saying, but one-word Tropes like Squee can be linked using {{Squee}}, or if you want to pothole them, [[{{Squee}} just use this code]]. Simple.

Yuri◊: Yeah. Sure showed him...sure showed that guy how much of a prick you were...

-Tries to find someone that could sell a map of this place-

Shol: Eh, did someone say somethin'...?! Eh? I thought not.

Tyki: O-oh, ye-yes... what's your name...?

Thanks for the reminder

???: "Heh, call me..." *He cues a drumroll then makes a chime sound* "...NOIR-01."

Yuri◊:-Doesn't even turn his head to address Shol-

Shaddup.

-Finds a map and starts marking locations on it-

"..."

"Sholryk, don't. Not again. Not when you've been told, again. And again. And again."

"... -snorts loudly- Nah, ya know what? I'm gonna take ya advice."

-Lan has a double-take- "Wa-wait... really?"

"Aye."

"Just... just like that?"

"Aye."

"You're not going to go on a rampa-"

"NO, DAMN IT, I'M NOT GONNA START 'CAUSIN' TROUBLE, ALRIGH'?!" -impulsively he stomps his foot, shaking the ground-

"Ah! Oh, o-okay, the ground has stopped sha-shaking... s-so, ho-how'd you do that little drum-roll thing...?"
