SLJ: The Zero-G Experience [Open][M]

[Enigma]

"Oh boy," Tepoztecal muttered as the big man started crossing the street. Jin was already evaluating the two heroes, no doubt planning for a quick strike. Bud was just grinning wildly, while Brandi was just looking on confusedly.

"Ladies," the god of alcohol warned, "let's just play this cool. No breaking anything!"

"Gday! Were you trying to get some shots for your social accounts? Or did you sheilas want to report seein' something from the attack?"

"Oh, yeah, we saw some of that while we were in the bar," Bud said. "But I wasn't waving at you, I was waving at that guy over there with the camera."

"We're not big on social media," Jin interrupted. "Sorry to disturb you, we've only just arrived and have yet to check in someplace. You look like you are... busy."

She pointedly looked across the street at the building with the police tape.

"Jin, I think he's Australian! You remember Australia, right?"
"Er, that was a long time ago!" Tepoztecal interrupted, smiling sheepishly at the very large hero looming over him. "Sorry, but we do need to get to a hotel. Ladies? Remember what I said and let's get going!"

"Oh, yeah, we saw some of that while we were in the bar," Bud said. "But I wasn't waving at you, I was waving at that guy over there with the camera."

"We're not big on social media," Jin interrupted. "Sorry to disturb you, we've only just arrived and have yet to check in someplace. You look like you are... busy."

"Jin, I think he's Australian! You remember Australia, right?"
"Er, that was a long time ago!" Tepoztecal interrupted, smiling sheepishly at the very large hero looming over him. "Sorry, but we do need to get to a hotel. Ladies? Remember what I said and let's get going!"

The markings glowing across the wall of muscles before them were known to almost no one in this modern age. However Tepoztecal recognized the timeless divine symbols of nature upon the huge man as he blatantly flexed them for the trio of girls. The small god was unique among them enough to catch the gaze of the winged figure behind the giant as well. Listening to the group talk about needing a place to check in, the big man got that annoying expression of someone who had a light bulb appear overhead when such a phenomena was rare.

Aye, originally from down unda! You happen to know me? World infamous redeemed hero? Conveniently single bachelor? They call me Taurius if that rings a bell!

The fur clad figure glanced over his shoulder at the unamused look of the horned being behind him waiting for this unscheduled break to reach some kind of point, or be over. Taurius thumbed in his general direction as if anyone missed the sight of a green and red winged monster and shrugged.

...Oh, and thats me mates Orion and Vega back there. Don't mind them, we need to get you lot a place to stay right? Why not come over to my neighborhood? Its got a hotel with the best damage insurance right next to a beach, a mall, and a theme park!

[Enigma]

"Er," Tepoztecal began, "That sounds nice, but...."
"It sounds very nice!" Bud says, excitedly jumping up and down. "You won't believe some of the places he has us stay in!"
"A beach and an amusement park?" Brandi demanded, smiling widely.
"And a mall," Jin added, stepping forward. "We could do some shopping."
"Jin!" the little god exclaimed, turning surprised towards her. "You can't be serious! We hardly know these people!"
"What's the point of travel if you don't get to meet new people?"

"He's so cheap!" Bud complains, shaking her head. "Not a big spender! I swear, the last place fell down when we left!"

The last place fell down because you got into a pillow fight and Jin smashed you through the wall, Tepoz scowled, remembering.

"It was a friend's place," he said aloud. "A very nice cottage." Or at least it used to be.

"I'm sure it's a very nice place," Tepoztecal continued, "But it's probably way out of our price range. Remember, we still need to find a suitable location for the bar...."

[Corrik55]

The giant man nodded his head approvingly and gave a smug look to the winged man behind him with two names. Hearing the concerns voiced by Tepoztecal among the giddy girls, The two toned man behind Taurius lifted his head as a steamy trail flared out of his parting lips.

Are you taking early leave from your shift then Taur?

Bah! The rats already escaped, so we may as well give it a rest for the night mate! Besides, didn't ya hear? These new ladies in town want to see the sights, and this little bloke might be interested in opening a bar!

The mountain of muscles shrugged not seeming to find further interest in the cold crime scene as the twins behind him gave the trio of girls a look over and rolled there red and green eyes. Taurius being the massive center of attention here did a poor job at subtly leaning back and covering his large mouth as he whispered to his comrade.

c'mon mate! You got your Lotus to play with, use them bloody wings and be my wing man for these sheilas! Ahem, right... As you may have already heard, I am Taurius, world infamous hero. So not only can you trust me to escort ya over, Ill put in a strong arm to get you all a free set of swags! Like ya said, no better place to be right now right?

As soon as Julie stepped off the Skybus she hurled in the closest trashcan. "Can we take a parachute on the way down?" Daisy ignored Julie. She was about to find somewhere to change her clothes when the super came by and warmed the place up. "Damn that's a nice power." She began wondering if her abilities could be adapted to accomplish that. She would try to figure out much later. She pulled out her phone and downloaded an update for her maps program. She then unfolded it into it's ten inch tablet mode. "Come on Jules. Let's get going."

Moving away from the edge of the floating city, the ground began to feel more real once they got into the checkpoint station and away from the view of the ocean of sun lit clouds. The droids at the security stations gave little twitches after the pair stepped through as they downloaded matching profiles.

[Greetings.. agents.. Doe.. and.. Saunders.. Profile.. match.. SLJ access.. level 1.. granted.. have.. a nice.. day.]

The voice box crackled as they were let through without further registration once the government files were updated. They bypassed a security line that lead through the universal detection chamber. An observation room where holy wards, arcane seals, and alien bioscans checked to make sure anything passing through was what it claimed to be. Once out among the cities night neon night lit streets, they were given direction to the Sanctum Clinic from the tablet as it downloaded the civilian map of the city.

[Enigma]

"So, what's the name of this hotel?" Tepoztecal grumbled, "And how do we get there?"

At least these two weren't asking him why he was short, blue, and sitting inside Brandi's tote. The girl in the bar was losing her mind over it, but these two were completely unfazed in that whole 'we've seen everything', not unlike the average New York City resident.

So they'll go to this hotel, check in, the guy could get Jin, Brandi and Bud out of his system and he could look up some commercial realtors about a bar.

What could go wrong?

[Corrik55]

The large man rubbed his goutee and looked to the twins behind him. They exchanged glances briefly as if having a mental argument and finally provoked the two toned man to speech as his tail swayed impatiently.

.....Alright! Id rather use magic than try and explain why we carried armloads of girls across the sky anyways...

Thanks mate! He's a real cobber that one sheilas! Lets go take a gander at the Palm hotel and maybe have a sesson, bog in? No pashin I swear!

The tattooed giant said as Orion and Vega turned around and threw arcane symbols out into the air. They formed a ring around them all that warped a sphere of space and left them in a bubble at a new location. The seaside resort town was spread out before them as the last bits of sun were setting and left the coast illuminated like a swarm of fireflies by all the little neon clubs and tourist spots. Taurius stamped out and looked at an obnoxiously tropical flavored hotel facing the sights beyond promisingly.

There's more fun than ocean here! Only thing this place is missing is a movie theater and a proper boozer!

[KRCmdrSheppard]

Daisy & Julie followed the map to the religous medical center. Daisy looked around. "Impressive." Daisy began looking around. Julie found the place to be ostentatious. She rolled her eyes. "Let's get going. Faster we get the information the faster we can get the girl." Daisy scoffed. "You know they ain't going to tell us anything. Patient confidentiality and all. If you want to find her we'll have to get creative or find a way to do it legally which will take time." Julie looked at Daisy surprised. "Are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?" Daisy shrugged. "What if I am?" Julie laughed. "I have been a bad influence on you."

[Corrik55]

Looking at the map and deciding between the religious sect, and the city clinic, Daisy and Julie were able to approach the medical facility before it shut down for the evening shift. Outside the clinic, they saw the staff trading keys and files. The only thing unusual about this was the two women looked identical. Seeing the approaching pair, the mirrored ladies looked to each other uncertainly not seeing anything wrong with them.

...Uhh... evening ladies. Do you need an appointment? -Welcome to the clinic, we're Wendy, nice to meet you.

The two Wendies greeted them as a third one ran out and quickly tossed a last minute report onto the stack. This one not only looked the same as the others, but vanished inside the new one as Daisy and Julie watched an emergency drone lift off the clinic.
