01 💣 [video/action]

[ action ]

[ It was so bloody cold. Who gave this place the right to be as cold as it was? Whatever, she'd supposed. She'd just have to put up with it for now until she found somewhere warmer to be.

Those around Genessia will see a thin adult with long blue hair done in two braids, red eyes, along with her body practically covered in tattoos, especially on her back. She's wearing a bikini top, shorts, combat boots with thigh-high stockings and leather gloves with arm socks. On her back, she's got what seems to be a small arsenal of weapons -- a mini-missile launcher, a machine gun, a pack at her side with various things -- just to name a few of her weapons. ]

What I wouldn't give for somethin' warmer... Hopefully it ain't always like this.

[ While she could use the money she was given, she'd rather save it. Money talked, after all. As pretty as she was, she knows looks only go so far. ]

[ video ]

[ Once she's gotten into a much warmer place (look, she can't handle the cold all that well with her current attire), it's evident that there's some patrons in the cafe who are staring at what she's packing. It wasn't every day that someone waltzed on in with the firepower she has on her person and it might be the reason why the cafe has a quiet hush all around. ]

So, I'll take a bet. If I say anythin' 'bout Junkertown, is it gonna ring any bells to anyone here? Yeah? No? Don't keep a Sheila waitin' here! How 'bout Straya?

Anywaaaay, my name's Bombina. You might've heard of me, might've not. Hope we can all work together or somethin' lame like that.

[ She'll smile at the end before the feed shuts off. ]

[while watching the people she saw this lady with WEAPONS HOLY-]

[her eyes widened and gawked]

Woooah...Miss how are you holding that many guns..? That's really dangerous.

[ Hmmm? That will give Zoe pause to turn around, a smirk tugging at her lips. ]

Uhhh, super strength? [ Really, she didn't think they were that heavy. ] Eh, don't gotta worry -- I'm not gonna let these loose any time soon. Don't see a reason to anyway.

But. If you carry them around there's going to be people who think otherwise..

[super duper wary, especially with that 'super strength' comment]

..Are you expecting a fight? Because you're going to get one if you 'let them loose'.

[okay but apart of her was commenting on how cool she was]

[ This... is kind of weird to Zoe to be put in this situation. Normally, no one cared if she carried around her weapons like this or dared to confront her like this. A brow raised in slight surprise, but also confusion.

Maybe this place wasn't that bad, but she was still on her guard. ]

Aw, ain't that sweet? Ya worried if I'm gonna get in trouble or somethin'? [ She smiles at the end of that, snickering a bit. ] I ain't that much of a hooligan. But, to answer ya question, I ain't expectin' a fight. Just don't know who's out there that's gonna try and take advantage of ya, ya know?

[Sayaka frowned at that snickering]

I guess? But isn't holding that many weapons..excessive? Other people are going to get scared, no matter the world you're in.

[or at least the worlds she was imagining, LOL]

[ There was a shrug in response to Sayaka's question with her looking a bit bored. ]

Ya might never know what ya need. 'Sides, ya can't be too careful.

[ Honestly it didn't seem that bad to Zoe. Her experiences back home learned her some, after all. ]

Anyway, I'm freezin' my tits off. Ya got somewhere warmer we can continue this convo?

[Sayaka blushed, but shook her head immediately]

Yeah, with that amount of clothing.. [but nodded and headed towards a direction]

I think there's a clothes store nearby..at least to get a jacket. It got cold quick here for me too, I can't imagine how you're putting up with the cold.

[ She'll quickly follow after her, wanting to get out of the cold as fast as possible. Look, she's built for Australian summers, not...whatever the hell this is. ]

Uh... Strong will, that sort of thing--

[ As soon as they get into the store, she's quick to get by a heater and huddle by it while shivering. Okay, so she can put on a brave front alllll she wants, but when it comes to the elements? Yeah, she's not dumb. ]

Just gimme a minute, 'kay? I'll be right as rain after this.

[Today was the day Raine kept to the streets of Genessia to do her readings, however, she found that she didn't know where precisely she wanted to do them today. So her current job was to find that perfect spot and potentially gather some contracts and get some people working for her.

As she found a nearby alleyway, she was about to set up when she spotted someone who in her mind really stood out. Interesting... look she guessed.]

I am going to hazard a guess that you either love to wear very little no matter what the weather or you are a new arrival?

[ Raine's voice gives Zoe pause as she'll turn to her, still having her arms wrapped around herself to try to get some form of warmth to her poor body. ]

Ya ever been to Straya? Tends to be hotter than Hell there. But, uh... Yeah, I'm a new arrival. Guess I kinda stick out like a sore thumb, huh?

I have not, haven't been to hell either, but I heard that is pretty hot, so I will take your word on that one.

[She nodded slightly.]

If this had been warmer, though you would actually be blending in rather nicely. But sadly today was not that day. The weather here changes, so eventually I am sure it will get warm.

Looks like luck ain't on my side today. [ Although, it was good to hear that the weather changes so that she doesn't feel like she's in the arctic tundra. ]

How long have ya been here, Sheila?

Not too long, a few months at best.

[She knew a few things, but not too much.]

But you pick up little things while here. Sadly nothing important though.

Is there anythin' important I should know 'bout from your point of view? I heard what that Weiss said and read up on the pamphlets and all that.

[ She's just curious if there was anything she missed. ]

Edited 2018-04-03 12:12 (UTC)

Saly, I've been more focused on people than the whole situation. A girl has to eat and survive somehow after all.

[She paused briefly.]

People I have watched have been nothing of importance either.

Hey, I respect that. Eatin' and survivin's just as important.

[ Not like she knows that or anything. Nope, not at all. ]

Gotcha. Thanks for that.

Anyway! Like I said, my name's Bombina. What's yours, Sheila?

It's probably one of the most important no matter who you are.

[Sadly for her it's harder to get the food she needs, so she has to find ways around it.]

It's not sheila for one thing. It's Raine.

Too roight.

[ A pause as she chuckles slightly, shaking her head. ]

Ah, sorry 'bout that. Sheila's just slang for woman back in Straya. Guess I oughtta come with a translator, eh Raine?

It's fine. Other worlds sayings are just new to me.

[It will take some getting used to if she was perfectly honest.]

This world certainly is interesting in what kind of people it brings. I'm sure you'll be able to figure that out sooner than later.

[What luck ~~maybe~~; a man of peculiar dress and chivalrous ambitions that far outstrip his means happens to be there too! Even he can't miss someone dressed so peculiarly. Never mind his own. His ears pick up what his eyes momentarily miss. He swivels his head looking for the source before landing on the damsel in distress.]

Goodness! Pneumonia will take you that way! Here, let me get something.

[He rifles to his trusty bag to produce blankets, scarves, coats, stockings, etc. Anything and everything that looks like it might assist. Don't worry, he'll notice more than her temperature in just a moment.]

No, haha; the world has seasons and will doubtless furnish ones better suited to yourself. What rotten luck, eh?

[If she doesn't pick any warm accouterments herself, Ted will dress her by force if necessary.]

Edited 2018-03-26 02:06 (UTC)

[ With how sudden Ted's voice is to Zoe, it definitely startles her quite a bit. Her red eyes widen in surprise, her form rigid for a few moments. She has half of a mind to grab whatever weapon she has with her, but she thinks better on it. After all, she didn't want to paint herself as a troublemaker already here when she hadn't done anything too bad yet.

That, and he's offering to help her out with free clothes. How could she not accept his generosity? ]

Uh... [ Once she gathers herself, she offers him a bit of a smile. ] Thanks, mate.

[ She'll pick out a t-shirt, hoodie, pair of jeans along with a coat, scarf and hey, those blankets look hella soft! ] You sure 'bout this? Like, I normally don't like presentin' myself as a charity case.

[ But, he does seem really sure about helping her out like this... And she's tired of being so cold already. With that said, she puts the clothes over what she has already, resting her weapons and her bag against a wall. ]

I usually have better luck than this, lemme tell ya. Can't be too bad, though, if helpful blokes like ya are here, right?

Edited (forgot some words) 2018-03-31 09:21 (UTC)

[Like the gentleman he sometimes is, he continues to talk while averting his gaze.]

Heh, you're very welcome. You must, ah, hail from the tropics or something.

Oh, don't worry. Everyone's a charity case, per the virtue. And I insisted besides.

[How he loves his philosophy. He keeps one ear open for the sound of dressing being done.]

Coming to Genessia at all seems the most severe fortune. Whether good or bad remains to be seen. But thank you, haha, you're quite the flatterer. Yes, you'll find that many in the world are so officious.

[Word choice, Ted.]

Altruistic! Ahem. Very, ah, charitable.

[Better]

What's your name?

Straya, actually! But close enough to the tropics.

[ It's like a night and day change to Zoe for the warmth of the clothes they provided. She breathes a sigh of relief while turning around, slinging her weapons back on her as well as her belongings. ]

Well, it ain't like back home is, which I guess can be a good thing. [ There's a bit of a shrug after that. It didn't feel like home per say, but it was a shelter at least. She chuckles at his words, shaking his head. ]

I ain't that dumb, but thanks for that. Anyway, ya can call me Bombina! [ She says with a hand outstretched and a big grin on her face. It sounded much cooler than her actual name. ]

Edited (wrong icon, oops ) 2018-04-03 12:27 (UTC)

Straya? Now that's a foreign land I've never heard.

[He has, just not pronounced that way. Ted's all to ready to reckon it as fantastic a location as Runeterra or something.]

Aheh, from the look of your...ordnance...back home had some dangers to contend with.

[He'll shake her hand with a twinge of some nerves. He doesn't know what's more striking: that one with her frame could carry all those, or that she might need to.]

Bombina...interesting name, where have I...oh, ahaha! Like the toad, correct? A very colorful genus.

[He'll assume her family kept one as a pet.]

How come ya never heard of Straya before? Ya livin' under some kind of rock? It's where Kiwis come from!

[ Not the...fruit, the people, of course! She's hoping that Ted understands what she means by all of her slang because like hell is she gonna talk like a normal person. ]

Hell yeah we did. Have ya seen the Outback? Ain't kind. Lots of shit wantin' to kill ya or take advantage of ya.

[ Well, it's one of two things: Radiation, 'cause that happened (her hair was totally black before it) and well, she likes to be protected no matter what.

--Wait, record scratch. What? Huh? Cue confused face because what the hell, Ted? ]

...uh...sure, mate. Let's go with that.

[ Honestly, she just chose it because it sounded cool. ]

[Kiwis, Outback, the frequent use of "mate"...by Jove he's got it!]

Oh! Haha, Australia. Er, I think. I thought Kiwis came from New Zealand...

[Don't you get geographically pedantic, now]

Or perhaps some cataclysm united the two; it'd certainly explain why you'd need to go so armed; the region I knew would consider that overkill. What on earth happened there?

Aheh, yes, the "fire-bellied toad." Not inappropriate.

[He didn't see any flamethrowers.]

Well, would you like an escort to The Commons? I fear civilization will refuse you until, at the very least, you find a place to put all that. Hah, there wouldn't be enough smelling salts in the world.

Duh, they do. I just didn't know to describe it without it gettin' weird, ya know?

[ It's then that she gets a little uncharacteristically quiet, thinking back on what happened to shape Australia into what it was today for her. She often wondered how different she would be if things had transpired differently, if the explosion didn't happen and cause radiation to spew all over the place. ]

Let's just say bad shit, 'kay? 'Kay.

[ Just like that, she's back to all smiles in a matter of seconds, keeping her weapons close to her person. ]

Sure, let's go. By the way, I ain't about to let these go. They go with me, and if they're not allowed in The Commons, I'll just sleep on the streets. It's all apples to me.

Aheh, trust me, you needn't worry over weirdness, here.

[Most people consider him weird. Crazy, right? For once, a tragic backstory eludes him. Not that he doesn't understood covering up tragedy.]

I understand. Well, hopefully it'll be an accommodating Commons. Er, streets?

[He hasn't boned up on homeless laws, mainly because he tramps himself, albeit with a special bag for the purpose.]

You'll...really be all right like that? Are apples symbolic of contentment? I've never heard that idiom.

[Mercy had no idea who this might be, but the moment she mentioned 'Junkertown', it had her interest peaked. Not that she's ever been there herself; much too rowdy for her tastes. It was a place she's heard about before though and she really doubted that it was a common place for other worlds, all things considered.]

Bombina... [She's never heard of that name, but it definitely felt like someone from her world.] Hello, I'm Angela Ziegler, but you may or may not know me as Mercy.

[Depending on how much she knew of Overwatch that was.]

[ Mercy... Mercy... The name vaguely rings some bells in her mind, however it's what she looks like in her phone that helps make things make sense. ]

Ah, you! Yer the Sheila that was on the Overwatch posters, right? I was wonderin' what happened to ya lot after everythin'.

Edited 2018-04-03 16:45 (UTC)

[Sheila... She had no idea what she was trying to say in that. What was Australian slang even?]

Ah, yeah. [She assumes she means woman or something??] Uh... Well, A lot of things happened. I simply went back to assisting those in need as a doctor.

[So she was from her world. It would make sense.]

[ It's own thing, to be quite honest. Junkrat and her really ought to carry around dictionaries. ]

Somehow, that's what I thought ya did. Ya seem like the type to just go back and help people out. 'Swhat you doctors do.

Yeah. Every life is precious, after all. [Ever the pacifist.] But that aside, I'm sure you have plenty of questions about this place. I don't mind helping if you need it.

Well, how long have ya been here and how many of us are here for one?

I've been here for maybe half a year or longer? As far as how many of us, at this point, there's been a lot of people coming from our world, so they'll be roaming around somewhere.

[Because I have no idea how many at the time of this thread lol.]
