* Chase, chase! Eventually you end up at the entrance you came in. The sensor jamming is a lot less noticable, now that you're near the entrance. Alex is lagging behind. * Carter keeps going. He can catch Tobias just fine, and has handled the little guy before...and waiting for Alex will not be productive. * ... but there's someone waiting by the entrance, up top. And he has the sphere that Tobias had. ( Does he block the entrance? ) ( Nope. But he's watching it. ) ( He inside the complex, or outside? ) ( Outside, up top. ) * Carter flies out at top speed, executing a sudden stop that should have left him with whiplash, but seems to have had no inertial effect at all, and turns to face the sphere-holder. "Good day, sir. May I inquire as to who you are, and where you got that sphere, please?"
A nekojin came running out. He dropped this. Ah. It belongs to our group. May I have it back? ...any idea why the...nekojin...was running? *scans for Tobias, trying to see if the boy's okay* * Figure is just over 6 feet tall, and is wearing grey robes. He's got long silver hair, that's almost covering his eyes. There's strips of black leather intwined in his hair, too.
Not sure. * Carter hovers so that his eyes are on level with the grey figure's. * And Tobias is somewhere in the city. ( Grr. ) Not sure of what? Why he was running, or if I may have the sphere back? (Lost him in the crowd. Got it.)
Not sure where he was running to, or why. I tried to catch up with him, then I realized there were more of you down there.
Interesting sphere. Do you know where he got it? I do. I would be happy to tell you, as well, if you first return it to me. ( Note: Carter is being as polite as ever. Or at least trying. He's still got a bit of a headache. ) * Hey... what's that? There's a ... similar energy signature about him. It's different, though, like a different flavor of the same thing you all seem to share. And it's a lot more pronounced.
Sure. * Figure tosses the sphere to Carter. * Carter fumbles a bit, but manages to catch it. "Thanks. It came from inside something Miss Al- er, a friend called a 'monolith golem'." * Carter eyes the man, almost staring. "Odd... may I ask who you are, sir? You...have an interesting, erm, aura." * Alex finally catches up, peeking her head out. Oh, fuck. Goodluckhavefunbuhye! *she ducks back down* ... Does she know you, sir? * The figure grins a little. "Yes, she does. I'm surprised you don't." *he nods at Carter.* "I'm Cephiro, one of the Lords of Light." * Carter 's eyes widen a bit, and he descends to the ground. Then he bows to one knee. "I am honored, my Lord." He then rises to his feet once more. * Cephiro sighs. "And likewise an honor to meet you. But ... there's no need to kneel." Excuse me a moment, if you will? *he walks over to the entrance.* Alex. Come out. As you wish. I am Carter Delger. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, my Lord. If it pleases you, I think your questions would be better answered by the entirety of our group. If you would accompany me, please? *begins walking back into the chamber, heading for his friends* Oh? Yes, sir. *waits* * Alex comes back out, slowly, warily. Like she's very afraid of him. "Look. Before you get mad or anything, it attacked someone, and they defended themselves. It's not like I wouldn't have tried to let you know if I had had the chance... but...." I do appologize for the damages done. We shall endeavor to explain our reasons, if you would accompany me? *begins walking again* And... There was a sphere in it, but one of the group ran off with it... ... but he has it, but the sphere was ... resonating with the others... So let's go see them, okay? Please? * Cephiro blinks. "Very well. Lead on." * Carter leads! At a walking pace, in defferance to the Lord.
