One by one those gathered would gather their weapons and/or gear, and the red skinned synthezoid stands apart from them. Each one of them she looks over, glowing softly eyes lingering upon each form. This is a very peculiar group to her… but isn't that what Riri said just after she was asked to join the Champions? She looks back towards 18 then, a spark of recognition suddenly going off in her mind. She just now remembers where she knows her from! Speaking of Champions… one of the cartoon shows the boys like to watch. That's where she knows 18 from. Rather… where she recognizes the outfit the woman is wearing. Since she's just dressing up like Android 18, right? A cosplayer or something. That's just a cartoon, after all.
But another she vaguely recognizes. She watches Zer0 as he inspects his weapons… Vivian is a gamer, that's how she met most of her friends. From playing Battlesmite, specifically. And said friends (especially Amadeus) have tried to get her to play other games with them. And a long time ago, one of those games was Borderlands. She doesn't remember terribly much of it (it was when she was at her Ver. 1.0 era), but she remembers she played it the same day they tried to get her to play Diablo 3. Which she disliked just as much. She remembers in Borderlands the villain's name was Handsome Jack, and she played a female character… she was a 'crowd control' character.. but mostly Vivian picked her because she was pretty. Don't remember the name, though. ANYways.. she vaguely remembers Sam playing a ninja character. One with garb similar to Zer0's…
This is troubling.
Vivian's gaze now draws down the corridor they had come, and she speaks in an even tone.
+If this is our first show, I do not see any way not to perform in it. I am not willing to risk further imprisonment in the happenstance that this 'show' is what they want. I am being assured escaping is the best way to go for now.+ As the group exits the storage room, Vivian begins to proceed down an intersecting hallway.
+I do not know where we are, precisely. But no, not Earth+ Although her Earth and Shiki's Earth are 2
very different places, if they were on Earth she would be able to detect at least faint radiowaves. Or better yet interlinked communications. Which is an odd analogy with Shiki…she can't detect Gaia, and Vivian can't detect information moving through the air. Both are connected to their native worlds, but in differing ways. 2 different things, but the same conclusion.
She now speaks as she leads them down the corridor, her glowing eyes drifting right to left cautiously.
+There is no mention of the Skill Jammer Pod. It is not on our itinerary, so we can not seek it out. As it is, we are 2 minutes behind schedule.+ The group would hear a distant rumbling, and the whole corridor seems to tremble. This lasts about 10 seconds. Vivian now picks up her pace, walking a little faster.
+3 minutes behind schedule. Once we have escaped and gotten our bearings, we will seek out the Skill Jammer Pod.+ The group comes to the end of the corridor, and to what seems a dead end. But as Vivian steps forward, the wall itself fades from view. They are now looking towards the landscape, and they would see thousands of ships moving here and there across the horizon. Some right below them, some in the far distance. But as far as the eye can see, it's nothing but gleaming metal. The city covering the whole landscape.
She steps to the edge, strong winds seeming to threaten to want to pull them out. The winds aren't strong enough to do that, though. But they are noticeably. And that might be because… when Vivian leans forward over the edge…
+By my measure we are approximately 6,580 feet from the ground.+ She stands up straight, looking over her shoulder to the group.
+Please do not fall. I do not know if I can catch all of you.+ Her gaze moves towards the darkened landscape once more as she speaks.
+Please do precisely as I say, precisely when I say. We are being given a chance to escape, everything must be timed precisely.+ She falls silent as she watches the broad landscape before them, her long green hair swaying with the upper winds outside of their vantage point.
No, no this isn't Earth at all.
