If you can read that. Then as long as I have time. I'm happy to Roleplay with you. I'm okay with my French, but don't expect a Masters Thesis level of French from me.
Bunga was visibly elated when the small German girl accepted the invitation. But her elation turned into disappointment when the Technologist mentioned Sukoro Jinga's nationality, yah, a Japanese technologist. Not exactly a Nusantaran by any stretch of the imagination, but, trying to keep a positive mood, Bunga imagined that the Technologist would know some Nusantarans himself. Bermuda is a big place after all, so she expects that there might be some Nusantarans present here.
Bunga refuses to believe that she's the only Nusantaran person here.
"Alright then..." She responded to Lucy's statement. "Just so you know, I'm not a Japanese, but since I've already agreed to help search for him, I might as well continue along."
Utilizing her fox ears to great effect, Bunga concentrated and took in all the sounds permeating from all of Bermuda, someone busy doing chores, a bunch of students talking about dating issues, and oh so many more random stuff Bunga picked up. "Hmm, perhaps we have to go somewhere else? So far, all I'm picking from my ears is just random noise." Bunga commented. Further concentrating on finding any mention of Sukoro Jinga, some officials talking about taxes, some men talking about how beautiful some of the women in the campus are located, and a whole miscellaneous things about whatever the hell the students are talking about.
At least most of them are talking about academic matters such as Formulas though, so some silver linings in listening to the conversation.
"Mmm no, didn't hear a single whisper of Sukoro Jinga from here." Bunga said towards Lucy. "Oh and perhaps before we go search and stuff, why don't we introduce ourselves? I'm Bunga Kurniawan, an Egoist from the Majapahit Federation. I research on Animal formulae and how we can replicate them. How about yourself?"
Sure enough, just as busy as the group was talking. The chef was busy preparing a medley of food for the group. Schnitzels, Bockwurst, Hamburg Steak, and a bunch of other stuff the group ordered. The food came quickly afterwards, the group, pleasantly surprised by a mixture of food and drinks, are now starting to eat, and eat well. "Wow, you're all really hungry aren't you?" Amanda asked, seemingly surprised by the eagerness some of her agents are chowing down the food. "I do get descriptions of how food tastes and feels like when ingested, but I never understand the strong attraction humans had towards food. I mean, eating nutrients can't be that good can it?"
She eyes the Bockwurst being eaten by Faye. "Can you describe it Faye?" She asked. "How it feels to have that in your mouth and all... Sorry, sorry. I know I'm being weird, but I just can't... get away from the fact of it. It can't be that good can it?" Amanda's mind is just having trouble computing all of those potential sensations. She knows that the OMR is researching on artificial tastebuds and a working digestive system for Androids. And she really fears that should they pull it off, and they put her with those augmentations... Her mind will literally melt with all the potentially good sensations assaulting her mind. "You know, if there's an augmentation that allows me to eat food. I'm kinda feeling on not taking it. I fear my mind's gonna melt form all those good sensations or something."
The sudden question from Morgana about agents though, suddenly piqued her interest. Amanda was silently thanking the researcher for posing that question, since the food stuff is bothering her mind too much at this point. "Uhh, sure Morgana. Just let me clear my mind first, then I'll answer."
She has to be in a good frame of mind to answer her question for this one, since it'll get pretty messy if she explains it with her messy brain right now.
"Huuuuuhhhh. Alright, so there's this thingy we have in our Philly office, yeah the HQ. Called the 'Agent Potential Calculator'. Don't worry it's not some magical contraption that does mind control or that stuff. Just some super advanced algorithms inside a computer we Androids helped build at the request of the Director herself, it is meant to assess the potential future of agents based on reviewing their abilities, accomplishments, and history within the OMR. The machine changes all the time really, sometimes even radically changing the 'potential' of an agent should he/she accomplishes some radical mission or experiences some crazy stuff. But nonetheless, I'm getting sidetracked here."
"I chose all of you here because that Agent Potential Calculator calculated that you'll be a perfect match for this mission, basing on all your abilities, magical skills, academic history, and status within the OMR. The calculator picked all of you for this particular mission, and honestly. Considering the potential all you agents have, and the abilities you've shown in that small firefight that afternoon. I think I've made the right call to heed the Calculator's calculations."
"Anyway. Micheal, what did you order?" Amanda asked, trying to shift the topic back again to food.
"Alright, if a bunch of branches is what you want, a bunch of branches you shall get." Yoshina responded, quickly putting her hands to work gathering any remaining branches scattered around her. They are in the edges of the forest after all, and thank goodness that the trees in this forbidden forest tend to shave a lot of branches off. It almost feels like the expansion of this forest is being hampered by something rather... magical.
But that is a mystery for a later time. Yoshina brought Rudolph a bunch of branches, and then quickly parted off again, the Princess highly intent on continuing her temporary mission of... gathering branches...
She knew that this is not necessarily the most exciting thing to do right now, but in a way she is glad that she's doing this. All that action for today, the time with the bandits and then the time with the branches, are slowly winding down for the day. And Yoshina feels like the group needed some respite from all the nonsense pouring their way.
"I got more branches." Yoshina replied, bringing another huge stack of branches and dropping it in a growing woodpile in front of Rudolph. "Do you need more? That seems like a lot of branches to do an advanced spell."
Amid the chaos of the entire situation with Jeanne, and the general hustle and bustle of Bermuda. A woman, wearing clothes that easily catch the attention of everyone, with a body that also catches the attention of everyone, and a skin that's practically kissed by the sun, was busy enjoying her time in Bermuda. She herself was a bit too busy scheduling meetings with fellow academics and just enjoying her time in this artificial city suspended on the sea, currently, she was too busy looking for books to read and purchase. The sudden summoning of the young ones as they converge into the library, and Ryuuko volunteering to taking care of the problematic French lady seemed to solve that little problem.
But now Bunga is faced with another quirk that she has to solve. She has already bought a large stack of books from the bookstore. A collection of treatises concerning Formulae in nature and whatever progress Polymaths across the world has made in deciphering the Formula on natural objects. She herself was a Polymath busy doing research on such subjects herself, and her fox ears and fox tail, very visible for everyone to see. Are both twitching in excitement. She had a good night's sleep yesterday, and was more than ready to plow into the literature of the books she just bought, perhaps learning about progress in Egoist practices might give her the inspiration to further her research, an insight here and there at least wouldn't hurt right?
Honestly, while she is interested in joining her government funded research trip into Bermuda, she honestly felt pretty lonely already, there aren't a lot of Nusantarans or people from the region she lived in. Well, there's that Vietnamese Egoist she saw a while ago during that little exposition in the Library, but other than that... she couldn't even think of anyone else that might be more in her wavelength really. Everyone either comes from Europe, Zhongguo, the Mughal Empire, or some part of Abya Yala. Interesting people and all, but not what Bunga needs in order to familiarize herself with this city.
But just as she was about to go home, all chores for the day practically all finished. She passed Bermuda's many, many post offices, and overheard a girl saying the name 'Sukoro', and her fox ears perked up, she turned her head. Her paper bag still containing many books, and immediately took notice of the situation.
It looks like a German girl, very petite, and with some technologist construct that floats around her. She seems to be frustrated with something, although Bunga's not quite sure what she's frustrated about. Deciding to take the initiative, the Nusantaran woman quickly approached the small German girl out of the post office, and into one of the many bistros that dot Bermuda.
"Umm, excuse me?" Bunga greeted the white haired woman, crouching down to match her at eye level. "Are you searching for someone named Sukoro? I know this might sound weird but uhh, can I join you too in the search? I'm kinda searching for someone that could be my countrymen, and when I heard the name Sukoro, I kinda have to meet him. Would it be okay if I accompany you in this search? I promise I will be of help! My ears can hear from quite a distance, so I'm sure I would be able to pick up someone mentioning Sukoro."
She hopes that the girl wouldn't be too frightened by her size (in more ways than one) and her stature. She really just want to meet this Sukoro guy, maybe talk to him in Trade Malay or some language they're both familiar with. And hey! If she can make a German friend, all the better right?
Srkandi felt it. A sudden rush of wind, the feeling of dread rising within her. She is not intimately familiar with this feeling, but her brain is already scrambling to figure out potential solutions. This is incredibly bad, she knows that an imminent danger towards herself and her party is coming. She has read many a tome inside her family mansion's library, stories describing a dragon's arrival, and the might the dragon wields when humans are obstructing an objective the creature has to go through, whole villages torn apart. Cities burnt to ashes, and only a combination of magecraft, martial ability, and a little bit of luck is enough to kill the rampaging dragon.
This group only has 2 mages, an alchemist, and 2 warriors. This is not a combination that she feels any confidence on facing a dragon. Even a younger dragon would be a mess to deal with. If it is an elder dragon...
"EVERYONE!!" She turned towards the party. "We must get out of here, does anyone know a place where we can hide? I know when we're in danger and my senses are telling me that a dragon's quickly arriving. We must find a cave of we're-"
A sudden, massive roar cuts Srikandi off, as a massive snowstorm suddenly blew snow all over the party. Blinding everyone for a second, before Srikandi felt her stomach drop seeing the creature that made that little snowstorm...
A dragon, yellow in color. Standing many feet tall above everyone, surveying the damage brought forth by their little skirmish a while ago. It looks like a Younger dragon, so Srikandi felt some comfort in that fact, but should he (is it a he?) opens his mouth and blasts everyone with an electric current. There is very little she can do to protect them. And Srikandi has no interest in dying right now, she has family, she has friends, and she has this party of hers that she needs to protect. All of them (except that half orc) are good people, and the adventurer quickly put her mind to work, trying to devise a plan that can get them out of this mess ASAP.
"Anki... Anki" Srikandi whispered towards the automaton as the dragon slowly combed through the dead kobold. "Can you silently prepare a ward spell? Like a magical shield that can protect us? Please make it as discreet as possible. I don't want to tip the dragon on what we're preparing.
"You know that this is no use, right?" The dragon suddenly turned towards them. "Do what you want, mortals. But those kobolds are the trip-wire for anyone daring to enter these mountains. I am pretty sure, that that little meteor that hit our great table is the cause for your party's presence, and honestly? If you just paid the Kobolds the toll, none of what I'm about to do to you now would've happened."
Everyone felt a sudden ping of dread inside themselves. "But, I am a merciful one, despite you killing my minions. I highly respect an adventurer's party that can show strength like that. So, let me repeat what the Kobolds might say when you entered this particular valley then. Pay the toll, and I will let you go."
The roar was felt even as far as the Great Table itself. With everyone suddenly turning their heads towards the sudden rumbling and roar that even shook the plastic table. Everyone, with the exception of Galmira herself, was now much more tense than usual. "Uhhh, Galmira. Is that one of yours too?" The Captain asked. "Most likely." She replied. "A younger dragon by the sound of it, much, much younger than me. Only a few centuries old, probably out there charging tolls to adventurers entering the Dragonspine."
"Wait, adventurers? There are adventurers in this world?" Almira asked again. "This is really a fantasy world isn't it? We just crashed into a fantasy world of swords and magic and dragons...
"I may not be familiar with what you refer to as 'fantasy' Almira, but yes, we do have swords, magic and dragons. Why do you ask?"
"I... nevermind that, since you mention the taste of humans. I take it that this adventurer's party probably consists of humans as well, right?"
"Most likely, yes."
"Then I need to prepare a small expedition. You can't seriously expect me to just sit by and watch a group of humans getting mauled by a dragon right?
Galmira then went silent for a while, a silence that seriously did nothing to make Almira anymore comfortable. Just as Almira was about to turn to Q-T and tell her to prepare the rovers for a combat expedition, the female dragoness turned her head once more, her eyes locking into Almira. "You know, perhaps I can be of help. I am well aware that my silence may be uncomfortable to you, but dragon to dragon fights are generally verboten among us. Even with that, I can still take you there. It will certainly be much faster than riding your... self driving carts around in this terrain."
That last sentence stunned Almira. Is... is she really going to do the trope now? "Wait, you aid that I can ride with you? Like? On your back ride with you?"
"Exactly. It will be much faster, and if that brat takes a shot at me. Then the rules will be broken and I can assist you in the fighting."
Almira knew this is a bad idea, riding a dragon on her back in this snowstorm is a surefire way to kill yourself, the workplace safety department will have a fit should they hear what Almira is gonna do here, and she has to set a good example for the crew as well. She is playing fast and loose, and the reactions of the crew will be all over the place should she take up Galmira on her offer...
"Alright, so, anyone else wanna ride on the dragon's back?" She asked everyone present. Galmira not bothering to interject. "I'm going to bring my assault rifle and some combat gear, Q-T, inform the security team to set up an expeditionary force, and then tell me whether you want to ride the dragon on her back or not. Okay?"
Majapahit Federation (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore) | Egoism | Animalization
Her Story A weird woman coming from an equally weird country. Bunga Kurniawan was the daughter of Wealthy Spice Merchants in the city of Palembang, a city established in 683 AD and continuously inhabited ever since. Growing up in a very Liberal, Cultured, and Wealthy environment. Bunga quickly became innately curious of the natural world that practically surrounds the great trading city. And this is when her brushes with the local community of Polymaths quite literally changed her.
They were a unique bunch. A group of Polymaths that spent their time in the University of Palembang complex studying the formulas of Floras and Faunas, a notoriously tough subject for even the most seasoned of Polymaths, and through her constant observation and help, made easier by the fact that her parents are very generous donors for the University. She began unofficial training to become a Polymath herself.
Combine this with a very good International education that her family provided for her, and the relatively open society she grew up in. She managed to make major contributions to the fields of 'natural formulae', not by necessarily replicating organic life, she even think that part of Formulaic studies is impossible, but by imbuing Formulae that mimic the traits of animals into the human body. she herself being a case in point.
How she got her animal ears was a little bit of a mystery even to herself. She was busy doing observations of the Red Fox at the city's local zoo, noting the animal's movements and patterns, perhaps in a bit to find the formulae that makes the Red Fox tick, she muttered some wordings, written some stuff that seemed to glow and disappear, and went back home. She woke up with a pair of fox ears, a significantly enhanced sense of smell, and enhanced agility not attributable from working out. The animal ears quickly disappeared after two days though, as do her sense of smell and agility as well.
She also did that with the goat as well, gaining a pair of Horns (that she hides with a separate Formulae, those things can be very annoying when she sleeps), along with a penchant and skill for mountain climbing. The penchant is still within her, but the goat horns that she gained quickly disappeared just as quickly as those fox ears. She is still trying to find out how to will out her animalistic traits on command.
All of that happened 2 years ago, and ever since, she has been busy trying to replicate her findings, with the help of the University and even some Governmental ministries that heard of the news and got involved as well.
And that was when the Badan Pertahanan Nasional (National Defense Body) and the offer to travel to Bermuda came to her. The BPN was highly interested in the transfer of 'Animalistic' traits into the hands of Majapahit's soldiers, potentially turning the already very trained Egoist soldiers of the Federation even more overpowered, while The ministry of Research and Development will fund further research into the branch quickly being called Animalism.
And Bunga was at the forefront of that research. Currently one of the very few people in the world that has managed to transfer whole animal traits into herself. Even if it is a temporary change, she is still nonetheless researching the bleeding edge of what egoism could be. And the offer to go to Bermuda was quickly taken by her, a chance to do research? With the best egoist minds across the whole world? Bunga would be an idiot if she declines.
Honestly, national defense aside, she's here only to talk with other potential smart kids, the quick and very kitbashed training the BPN gave to her was sufficient to make her hold her own in case of a fight. But really, as far as the bigshots in Trowulan is concerned, everyone expected her to be a passive agent, not really gunning for any active threats to the Federation at this moment.
Through continuous research, and a couple of accidents, Bunga has gained a couple of traits not really exhibited among most humans. The main difference between Bunga's Animalization compared to other egoists though, is that Bunga's transformations are ultimately temporary, Bunga has the ability to 'will' some part of her body in and out of existence should she need to do so, but ultimately all these animalistic traits she gained would be gone by 2 days time. Nonetheless, she has amassed quite a few traits that she can will into existence, assuming she remembers the formulae of course.
Due to the temporary nature of her Egoist adaptations. She usually incorporates Body Paint on her forearms and lower legs, since she covers those up with her socks and evening gloves, and using temporary ink as well. Hence the nature of her temporary adaptations. The patterns she writes on herself usually take on very fractal forms, with the same patterns again and again up to a certain extent, since she is attempting to copy the Formulae of nature herself. The ink she uses usually disappear after her traits are gone.
- Goat Vision (Don't laugh!): The 'goat vision' as Bunga called it, has granted her extremely sharp eyesight, able to see flies and mosquitos even at a distance of a meter or more with great clarity, and also grants her night-vision too! Her eyes that reflects light even in darkness can be an unnerving sight even for some egoists, she just finds them funny though. - Climbing Proficiency: Perhaps a part of absorbing the 'goat formulae' when she was 16, Bunga has the ability to almost innately know the best way to climb a vertical surface to reach to the top, she has climbed rock cliffs without aid with a skill exceeding that of professional climbers. Potentially useful if she has to climb something. - Goat Horns: A trait she kept under disguise, she can head-butt anyone she wanted to and probably come out the other end without any concussion or brain damage. Probably useful in a fight but she's not really one to find conflict anyway. - Fox hearing: A gift and curse, her fox ears has gifted her the ability to have the hearing range of the Red Fox, an animal that can hear a watch ticking from 40 yards away. Safe to say, if she wants to hear something from afar, she would easily pick it up. It's also super fluffy! - Fox tails: This doesn't help as much, it's just super fluffy! and a great companion when she's sleeping. - Fox speed: She can run at a speed equivalent to that of a Red Fox, a maximum of 50km/h, and 6-12 km/h when she jogs.
Organization: Kementrian Riset, Sains dan Teknologi (officially), Badan Pertahanan Nasional (unofficially)
The fight against the Kobolds had ensued as well as it should be. With Anki, Fei and eventually Srikandi joining the fight. The Ksatria Naga unsheathing her sword, smiling for a little bit at the sight of the Kobolds fighting her party, before joining the fight herself. "Take this!!" She screamed, catching a Kobold by surprise and then beheading him right off the bat. "YOU!" She pointed her sword at the Red Scaled Kobold, the largest of the pack and the one organizing the group's resistance against Srikandi's party. "I challenge you to a duel!"
The Kobold leader, clearly frightened by the combat abilities shown, is now visibly ordering the rest of the pack to charge at the group. With Srikandi herself replying in gripping her shield and proceeded to parry and counter the various strikes, stabs, and feints. The adventurer herself learned about a technique when she was in Himetsu, about the power of just reacting, the ability to use your senses to the fullest and countering your enemy's strike right then and there, and she used that particular technique to great effect against a great many Kobolds. A supposed stab on Srikandi's stomach was countered with her just simply moving aside, and using that momentum to swing her sword and slash the Kobolds backside, a stab on her back right after was countered with Srikandi turning once again, but this time clockwise, and using her body's momentum to slash a Kobold's head right clean off.
"I say again. I challenge you to a duel!!" Srikandi asked once more. To the tune of some very frightened Kobolds, her movesets, combined with Fei's martial arts and Anki's spells quickly dispatching whatever Kobolds there are, quickly signaled the Kobold leader that this adventurer's party is nothing to mess with. The Kobold quickly signaled a retreat, in it's own language, a series of barks and growls, and then the remaining Kobolds quickly retreated, disappearing out of sight as Srikandi's party rapidly tried dispatching the rest, abandoning the chase before quickly regrouping. "Is everyone alright?" Srikandi asked, her voice exuding authority appropriate from such a veteran adventurer. "I don't want anyone to get hurt right now, if anyone's hurt, then we must shelter for the night immediately. I don't want anyone limping around in this incredibly dangerous terrain now."
Just off of anyone's eye though, far across the mountains, a sight of what appeared to be a Younger Dragon is seen flying straight towards the party. Whatever it's intentions remains to be seen.
"Let's ask some questions, wait, now that I think about it, how did she knew the taste of humans? They have humans here?"
@deadpixel101@King Cosmos@DracoLunaris The Captain began noticing Galmira's fascination. The Dragoness seemingly amazed at the arrival of the Convoy, the quick assembly of the tent, and now noticing the materials of the tent and looking occasionally at the heater. By the looks of it, she was perplexed at how something that doesn't make fires can still function as a heating device at all. "I have no idea how this device works, but it does intrigue me how an innocent looking box such as that can heat up a large tent like this." Galmira observed. Still staring at the heater.
The Captain kept her silence as Galmira then made another remark. "I am also intrigued at how those 'carts' of yours could even move without horses, or any beast of burden for that matter. Is it powered by magic perhaps? I still could not understand how something that imposing and huge could move at all. Do tell me human, how did you make that cart move by itself? That... 'rover' of yours right?"
The Captain still maintained her silence, still contemplating on the remarks Galmira made during the initial conversation. For someone that has encountered an interstellar civilization, probably not even thinking that such a concept is even feasible in the first place, the Dragoness is handling all of this really well. Just as the silence was about to deafening however. Zoe rapidly asked the question Almira's been hoping for. There ya go girl Almira silently complimented her, Break out of your shell! Or... whatever, just distract her from what I should be saying. I'm still trying to comprehend this entire situation. God, probably need to bring in my knowledge from my politician days after so many centuries.
"Yes my child, you may. We dragons are centuries, even millennia old. And we have met with a variety of disparate creatures, both thinking and unthinking, throughout our lifetimes. But perhaps, I need to ask you a question first Miss... Zoe? Am I right?"
"What is that thing between your eyes that you are wearing? I have noticed people using some form of lens for one that is nearsighted, but I have never seen such a variation of the lens like the one you are wearing. And secondly, 'biologist?' What is that? I may be aware of the term Botanist, but a Biologist? I have never heard any wise/ studied person use the term 'biologist' in my very, very long life. Could you elaborate what the term means?
"Oh, and also. Galmira quickly turned towards Sumiye. "Are you perhaps an inventor? Forgive me for my rudeness, but I have seen many an individual with dried dark liquid all over their faces and appendages, usually busy tinkering around with machinery and showing their fancy new inventions to the wider world. Are you perhaps someone similar to that?
Galmira's curiosity now burns inside of her. She has to figure out just who these humans are, her glowy and enlarged eyes showing off as she asked the Commonwealth party question after question.
"Alright. Let's have a nice chat with that Dragon lady, the Dragon lady that will probably kill me should I say something impolite or inappropriate, even when I didn't mean it..."
@King Cosmos@deadpixel101@DracoLunaris "Nothing much, in fact, I'll come with you while you were busy building the tent, don't want the female dragon to be suddenly spooked when a small convoy arrives." She nodded at Sumiye's response, before quickly motioning both Zoe and Sumiye to go towards the hangar and prepare the tent making whatevers.
The hangar itself was busy with activity, the EVA crew rapidly being assembled for the mission as the team prepares various vehicles for deployment. Fortunately the rovers are lightly damaged, so that's some good news. Almira was busy inspecting the hangar bay when she suddenly smiled, she was looking at her tablet. Her fingers tapping a bunch of stuff into the screen, which then resulted in a crane lowering a vehicle, a vehicle that suddenly floated in front of her.
"Hello gorgeous." She greeted her Jetbike, boarding it and then touched her left ear, activating her comms device. "Alright, construction teams ready? Good. We should arrive in the site, build the tent, and then commence negotiations."
The group then promptly moved. Sumiye being tagged along with Zoe, and the EVA team bringing their own heavy set of rovers and other moving equipment. The small convoy then quickly arrived at the place where Galmira and Q-T was present, and quickly assembled a tent. "Forgive me for such a sudden arrival Galmira." Almira responded, jumping out off of her hoverbike. "But would you kindly talk with us inside this tent? It's getting dark and I would rather talk with someone in comfort and warmth than outside within the elements."
Galmira only nodded. Initially a bit shocked by the sudden arrival of the vehicles, she tried composing herself and responded curtly to the Captain's question. "I was wondering what those vehicles were, are they similar to carts perhaps?"
"You can say that." Almira responded, seeing the tent being quickly set up before walking towards the tent herself, Galmira in tow. "Sumiye..." She motioned the Engineer, thinking a little bit before nodding. "Perhaps you have question or two to the kind Dragon Lady inside the tent? Come in come in. Don't worry, she's friendly so far, no reason why she wouldn't be friendly, unless if you provoke her I guess..."
"Yes, miss Sumiye. I am not a brute." Galmira's head suddenly sticks out of the tent. "And please, come inside, it's a bit too cold for a human woman such as yourself no? Besides, I found the taste of human flesh to be disgusting."
Almira cringed at that last statement. How did she... nevermind, the negotiations must go on. Let's hope she doesn't eat her and the crew...
The tent was a significantly more ramshackle arrangement than initially thought. Prepared in haste and with whatever materials the EVA crew could gather, six plastic chairs, a foldable table, a bunch of battery operated heaters, and 4 canvas walls surrounding the Dragon, and the 3 humans on the other side.
The silence was also equally deafening, with both sides not really sure how to respond. Almira tried initiating the conversation, but her fear of potentially angering a Dragon overcame her and she just continued drinking water. Galmira was equally silent, not really sure just how powerful the might these humans wield. She just saw a bunch of vehicles, not powered by anything other than themselves, casually arrive and just as quickly left, beating even cheetahs and lions in terms of their sheer speed. Just what kinds of beings are they? And how in the world did they manage to get such advanced technology?
In the end, Almira's professionalism and the necessity to initiate some kind of conversation went through, and she tapped the shoulder of Zoe. "Yo Zoe." She talked in English, "Talk to her about the plantlife thingy girl. It's just like what we agreed on right? C'mon, I don't wanna anger the Dragon right now okay?"
Amanda couldn't help but give off a smile as Scarlet, Faye and Xaviron interacted with each other. They may not be aware of it, but they are building team solidarity by doing this, and Amanda's loving every second of this interaction. The friendliness, the joviality, the Scarlet's questioning on whether or not they have burgers in this restaurant. Ah, good times this one is. Right, Scarlet's question.
"Hmm..." Amanda looked at the menu, flipping it's pages and looking at every offering intently. "I'm... no, sorry Scarlet, they don't have Hamburgers here. But, would you be interested in trying a Hamburg Steak perhaps? It's not the same, but it does offer a beef patty glazed in sauce and accompanied with vegetables. It should do the trick Scarlet." She hopes that Scarlet would be satisfied with the answer, from the German cultural books that she's read, Hamburg steak is generally considered a delicacy in Germany, and she silently hoped that Scarlet would agree to order it.
While she waits for Scarlet to respond though, her mechanical head turned towards Micheal, seemingly glued to the menu at hand. "Micheal, you still confused about the language? I can help translate the menu if you want. It's not really that hard once you get to learn the language."
But her train of thought was interrupted when Scarlet suddenly asked everyone where they came from. And Amanda, ever the social wallflower, responded first. "Well, I was born in Utah. Well, 'born' is a pretty generous word there. But I currently live in Arlington, that town in Virginia near DC? I work for the OMR's DC office, and OMR North America branch to an extent. It's fun being an agent in this agency y'know? Lots of fun investigations, lots of combat sparring, lots of interacting with deities and the like, lots of paperwork, okay maybe that last part isn't so fun but I still do enjoy getting to visit many places in America as part of my work. Busting up any illegal Magical Operations is also fun."
