Thrown About From Edo To The Dream (intro)

Out of TheDream, In Edo:
With cold footsteps thundering through the muddy embankments, a lone figure threw herself forewards with intentions to escape. Behind the tired, darkclothed woman tred a trio of well-trained hunters. Rain poured out over the area with lightning blotting over the sky above. Malice in the mind of all.
This wasn't the first time Amethyst was being chased for her bounty, it wouldn't be the last. She was too strong-willed to just be caught or killed by filthy, degrated, disgusting men; it wasn't her way. All those fools thought about in their chase under booming thunder and over wet grounds is yen. It's always yen.
"Shimatta" the woman cursed, tripping over herself so as not to run into a rather large fense. Thoughts rummaged around in her mind of what to do next. What to do, where to go. Couldn't call for help, the storm above would mute her. Couldn't climb the fense, the filth behind was catching up close. Had only one choice.
Unsheathing tachinam, Ame turned to face the three men, the sky engulfed in burning electricity.
It didn't take long before the fight had ended, all three men presumably dead. ~I was careless~ Ame cursed to herself, holding her wounded side. That was too recklous an environment to fight anyone in.
She eagerly climbed the large fense to rid herself of the deadly stentch from those recently deceased. Luckily, a small town was just on the other side. There, the woman paid for a room, poorly treated her wound, stopped the bloodflow, and bandaged. After a few hardly swigs of sake to numb Ame's mind of the pain, her body fell hard against the bed, her eyes closed. Hopefully this night the nightmare wouldn't claim her unjust cause...
In TheDream:
Amethyst awoke to find herself in a meadow of flowers on a bright sunny day. Stood rather sharply, which was foolish due to the fact that her side wound had yet to be eased of pain. Cursed sharply. "Where the (insert uncouth word"

Trax is standing at the edge of the meadow... why he's there is not immidietly obvious. Several small brown objects are floating around in front of him, and he has a small silvery bag in his right hand.
His tail twiches slightly as Amethyst gets up.
"I wish I knew" he says whistfully... aparently not in the least disturbed. One of the brown floating objects dissapears into his mouth, and he steps forward, holding the bag out.
"Want one?" he asks... the bag is filled with small circuler choclate orbs.

The culture shock was just beginning to set in for the woman. Rubbing her head aftering making sure that, indeed, she was still wounded, the woman glanced up.
Alright, culture shock nothing, going from samurai's in old tokyo to animophic tigers in a flowerymeadow just hits the woman's senses hard. Glanced down uneasily at herself to see if she was really herself - which was apparent - then back towards Trax.
Quickly unsheathed sword, pointing it at the furry, white human-like bigcat. Not at all phazed by the floating chocolate - of course, not knowing exactly what chocolate entirely is... "Demon!" the woman seemed to have gasped and roared out at the same time. Her voice was low, but distinct enough to know that she means business...

Oculaire, who was for once just relaxing beneath the tree, says as he steps towards the pair, his empty eye sockets flashing an amused violet, "Not a demon. An anthro-tiger." He acts as if he is oblivious to the existance of the sword, which, of course, he is. "Now, would you mind keeping the racket down?"

Trax takes a half-leap backwards as the sword is drawn on him. He gives a shrill yelp and every one of the choclates floating in front of him drops... to be caught once more less then a half-inch above the ground. Trax's hands and forearms burst in to flame under the threat of attack... probibly not the best reaction to being called a demon, even with Oculaire's voice of reason.
Trax's own sword remains in it's shethe, but his claws are extended. The choclates slowly return to orbiting him as he settles into a half-crouched fighting stance, his tail twiching quickly.
"Put that toy away before one of us gets hurt" he half says-half hises. From the tone of his voice, it's clear that he dosent think of himself as the one likely to get hurt in the fight.

~another human~ the woman thought with comfort, not yet seeing that the man whining to her to quiet down had no eyes. Would have noticed, of course. Alas, however, the fact that Trax jumped back in a slight fiss of firey defense to match her present uncomfortable culture shock brought her attention right back to the tiger.
getting into catstance, Amethyst quickly and efficiantly removed sheath from sash, placing both scabber and sword in an X - glaring through the X towards the presented demon and his defensive yet harmless words.
growled out in anger and replied, "Not until I'm sent back to... Where I first was!"
Though she showed no weakness, it seemed that - out of jumping up the first time - she opened her sidewound slightly more, which in effect caused 2 of her 3 darkgreen robes (the outter most one worn untied and loosely) to stain red.

Trax stratens up a bit and takes another step back, determined not to strike first... after all, thats where most mistakes are made.
The scent of blood makes it to his sensitive nose as he steps back, he looks briefly for the source of the smell... and finds nothing.
"Are you allright?" he asks in a more conserned tone of voice, completely out of place given his stance, and the fact that he's standing just out of skewering range.
He telekeneticly rips opened the dropped bag of choclates, and forces them (around 57 of them, all told) to orbit him nearby... ready to be used as blunt projectile weapons.

Oculaire sighed. Why me? He said to Amethyst and Trax, "Settle down, both of you." Looking directly at Amethyst, he says, "Now, what makes you think he or I have the ability to send you home?" It would be so easy to just stun them both, and tie them up in two trees somewhere... Tempting as the idea is, he resists. Stunning won't be necessary...I hope.

Trax glances at Oculaire, then slowly drops the fire.
"Right"
He spins on his heel and turns away, arms crossed over his chest... The candy continues to fly around him at an incredable rate... one of the choclates finds its way into his mouth.
Trax's back is turned... presenting an open target, and the flying choclate is moveing fast enough that the sound of it moveing will mask any low-level sound... such as footststeps, in his general area. He sniffs a couple more times, still trying to figure out where the smell of blood is comeing from.

Now did not trust that orbiting chocolate at all. Still not at all in understanding how it floats or why it floats around a anthro white tiger.. Her X sword stance wavering slightly - but only due to the untold pain she was concealing otherwise.. "P... Piss off! Worry about the wounds I'll give you if you don't.."
Only then did she listen to Ocul, only then did she notice his lack of eyes... And only then did her uneasiness hit hard.
Attemped to stand in a better position so she could face them both.. but that was a difficult angle to overcome... Shivering in a mix of anger and fear. "Because.." Ame said, tone uncertain now, "That demon.. or.. You." glares at the sightless one, "sent me here..."

Oculaire sighs deeply. Why, why, why why why why me? "First of all, I reiterate, that is not a demon. It is an anthro-tiger. It bears about as much similarity to a demon as you do," he says, his patience obviously getting frayed. "Secondly, I didn't bring you here, and I don't believe he," here he points a thumb at Trax, "has the capability to do so. There's some minor teleportation ability in him, but nothing strong enough to bring you here, I wouldn't think." Looking directly at Amethyst with his eerie lack of eyes, he says, "Secondly, why would either of us even want to summon you here? If I was summoning you, I wouldn't be caught within a ten mile radius of the place you arrived at." He sighs, rubbing his head, feeling the beginning's of a migraine coming on.

"Look lady" Trax calls over his shoulder, decideing to go for the confadent act. "Eather make with the stabbing or put the sword away."
Another of the candies flys into his mouth... he chews on it thoughtfully.
"Furthermore..."
He seems about to say more, then stops himself... his tail is still twiching madly... and he's still trying to identify the source of the blood-scent.

Out of place, out of league with any around her, confused, frusterated, injured, and sober, the woman failed to lower her defense at all, even with Ocul throwing random 'insults' in her direction. Infact, his explination over why he couldn't rip the woman into TheDream only served to piss her off further.
If all is added up, this gives Ame enough motive to take Trax's request.
unlocks her X, turning the scabberd so it faces down and against her injured side, the woman rushes forewards at the anthro, preparing to slash through the circle of candy and towards his right side.

Trax is currently distraced by the sound of the candy... and the effort of keeping it in the air. Should you continue in your present course of action, Trax will NOT have time to react... and will most likely be hit quite solidly, depending on the power behind the blow, and it's hit location...

Oculaire sighs, then shoots a bolt of magic from his eyes, aimed at hitting Amethyst's sword arm. If it does connect, it will stun that arm, making her unable to use it for a few minutes. The sword will also probably fall from her limp fingers, if it connects.

[Watchs the woman charge the anthro tiger.]
Great, just great.
[drives out into the clearing and closes on the group.]
"Lady your making a mistake. You do not want to go around attacking everyone you meet here in the Dream."

ooc: heh, this'll be a sight
Just as she was about to connect, the sword carving through not one, but 2 innocent pieces of candy, she is stopped short (her swordblade touching the tiger's fur)as a third avatar leaps from nowhere - ordering her to stop.
As luck would have it, Ocul's stunning attack hits her upper arm of her sword arm (left arm, btw) and her sword - which just SLIGHTLY touched the tiger anthro's skin - dropped..
Amethyst gasped in surprise, stumbling back and grasping her numb arm. Looks from all three, now Extremely paranoid of her area and who may attack her next...

[OOC: Add the fact that "Tank" is a 90ton tank.]
[Turns his turret toward Amethyst.]
"You'r new to the Dream. This place has people from all sorts of worlds. Some of them are Gods or Goddesses and other asorted powerful beings. Some are people like you. Others are mechines like me. Most are nice and will help you, if you don't attack them."
[Backs slowly away afew feet and stops.]

Trax turns as he feels something touch his fur... just in time to see the sword drop.
Oh CRAP... she actuily did it...
Trax's tail, for the moment anyway, stops moveing... and he barely manages to keep the surviveing choclates flying. He makes a gripping gesture at the droped sword... and (baring any supernatural interfearence) it flys to his hand. He grips it by the blade, just above the hilt, and steps closer to Amethyst...
He extends the sword, hilt first, his hand still on the blade.
"Here" he says kindly... almost affectionately... a totaly inapropriate responce, given that you aparently just tried to kill him. It would appear that he trusts you not to try to kill him again... as a quick slash of the blade would doubtless inflict consitterable damage to his hand.

Oculaire sighs again, this time in relief. Backup. What a nice word...he can already feel that migraine disappearing. Hopefully, no one will make the migraine come back...he can hope, can't he?

Glances with confusion and anger at Trax, slipping sheath in sash and taking the sword back to sheath it - being that her sword arm is now limp for the next few minutes...
A filthy man with no eyes (Ame really hates men), and a two legged tiger are enough to set her hair on end... but the culture shock wasn't about to end there... Glanced towards whoever told her to stop previously to see a tank merrily strolling into the open.
Being that the woman had never seen ANYTHING resembling a tank in her 21 years of living, the woman immediately faces it and unsheaths tachinam (with right hand this time) in defense. All of which forces her wounded right side to give more torment. Fear and hurt make the woman stumble back away from Tank.
Trips, falls backwards, and once hitting the ground, drops the sword and curls into a ball of pain and curses.

Oculaire sighs as Amethyst crumples to the ground. There's that headache again...

[The back hatch opens and a small repair bot drives out carring a small off white box with a blood red cross on it with the words "First Aid" under the cross. The robot scoots toward Amethyst. It stops about 3 feet away and drops the box on the ground. It returns to the tank and the hatch closes again.]
"Theres a first aid kit for your wound. It has bandadges and meds in it."
[Backs off another 10ft before stoping.]

Trax, haveing delivered the sword, quickly backs off... The sight of a main-battle-tank on the scene dosent even cause him to bat an eye... aparently he's eather got nerves of steel (not likely), or he's encountered such life-forms before.
... I still smell blood... but from where?
Then Amethyst colapses... And a med-bot pops out of Tank.
Well... that explains that...
Trax once again gestures for the sword... reaching out telekeneticly to pull the blade back into his hand.
A second gesture sends a telekenetic 'cushion' to help make the ground a bit more comfertable... but createing a broad-location of force, and pulling the sword seem to have drained his reserves... the choclates all fall to the ground.

Taking a deep, ragged breath.. Amethyst, not at all enjoying TheDream - which appears to her as TheNightmare -, Glares heavily at the firstaid box after the robot (yet another object she's never seen before) returns to tank...
Now that her left arm had slight feeling back, it was numbly placed to her bleeding side.. cursing off and - beginning to stand with determination of not being 'weak' - muttered lowly, "I'll be fine, dammit... Don't need any bandages... Already got some..." Telling hte truth there, had bandaged her wound.. it just sorta bled right through due to recent actions.
