NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[It is hard to miss the massive power suit positioned at the south end of the mall--but why would you want to?

Nemesis--or at least its 1:1 model--rises majestically from the short pedestal it's placed on, crimson and gold armor gleaming in the sunlight. One wheeled foot crushes what looks like a lump of obsidian, and its left arm is brandished forward, the holo projection of its plasma axe looking almost like the real thing.

On its shoulders are its full artillery loadout: chaff and IR grenades and flash-bangs and both the mid- and long-range heat-seeking missiles, even though all that ordinance at once would overload the suit's encumbrance limit and it'd never be able to keep up with the rest of its team. That doesn't make it any less rad.

You were right--it is one of the most badass things you have ever seen. You kinda wish you had one.]

[Oh my gods.]

[Yes. Yes he does, because it's SO COOL and BADASS and he's gonna try to get closer to see if he can see more of how it functions and what it has and if its just display or maybe there are mechanics to see.]

[Engineering nerd.]

[The placard mounted in the statue's base gives some impressive specs--speed, carrying capacity; kills and saves, number of sorties. Sadly not that much on actual engineering bits. Still, you wonder if they've got the kits in the shop, or maybe a photo book. They've gotta be great sellers.]

[If it is a display, it seems to be quite an elaborate one. How much closer are you trying to get?]

Re: NEMESIS

[protectshisown]

[....listen, look, but don't touch displays aren't a Common Thing in viking time except for religious stuff, and he knows this ain't it, he will absolutely try to climb up there and get touchy to take a look.]

Re: NEMESIS

[The view is even better from up here! ...It's only about 3 meters taller, but still. You can see the castle to the north and some of the rest of the park to the south and the shops of Main Street USA to the east, the paint extra fresh]

[Also, beneath you you get a view of the cockpit. There are hairline fractures in the faceplate, and something seems to be sitting on the seat inside]

HELLO RYE.

Re: NEMESIS

[protectshisown]

Hello Angel.

I'm Rye.

Re: NEMESIS

[nohalation]

Yes, you are Rye! Hello, I am Angel!

Wowee, you are here, too!

Re: NEMESIS

[we_meet_again]

[WHOOOOOA he kinda wishes he had one.]

[But also, he has seen this suit before in memories.]

[He pats himself down, looking for his phone so he can take a picture.]

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[His phone is wherever he thinks it is.

Nemesis (since that is the suit's name, according to the placard in front of it) will definitely make an impressive photo op]

Re: NEMESIS

[we_meet_again]

[Nice! He takes some photos, and some selfies for good measure. That plasma axe is pretty sick.]

[He probably shouldn't, but is there any way to climb up and see if there's a way inside? This suit isn't real, is it? Is it???]

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[These pictures are gonna be so badass, you will want to text all your friends]

[You can definitely climb up! Nemesis seems kind of top-heavy to be honest but that just means more missiles, and also more room to climb on. The view is even better from up here! ...It's only about 3 meters taller, but still. You can see the castle to the north and some of the rest of the park to the south and the shops of Main Street USA to the east, the paint extra fresh]

[Also, beneath you you get a view of the cockpit. There are hairline fractures in the faceplate, and something seems to be sitting on the seat inside. Rye is also up here poking around]

[stakesthesame]

...

[ looking around, calling out loudly: ]

Yo! Kitty! You here?!

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[There is no response. Everyone knows there are no Disney cats.

...Maybe there was a whole movie about cats? Anyway, you only see ducks or chipmunks or something around]

Re: NEMESIS

[stakesthesame]

[ mmm.

turns back to the suit, bending over to look at the lump under its foot. ]

Re: NEMESIS

[nohalation]

HELLO.

Re: NEMESIS

[stakesthesame]

-- hey, Angel! How you been?

Re: NEMESIS

[nohalation]

Wowee, I wish I had one.

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[I know, right? Maybe they sell models at the store, though technically just getting a photo would be free]

[All these other people are crawling around! You could shove them out of the way, or keep exploring the park, or head to the castle, or??? The world is your oyster]

Re: NEMESIS

[nohalation]

[Or she could say HELLO to these other people, she has no fear.]

Hello!!

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[In the courtyard, surrounded by happy flowers and trees, the clock chimes 1. You can continue to cheer on the others or check out some other things?]

Re: NEMESIS

[nohalation]

[She will evnetually leave them and go down to the CASTLE.]

Re: NEMESIS

[theyregooddogs]

[what's he hearing? bells? and checking out the base with a little huff of laughter]

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[It's kind of like if a piano fell down an elevator shaft...followed by the rest of the percussion and brass sections. But it definitely sounds like it's on the other side of the square, so it's fine?]

[The placard mounted in the statue's base gives some impressive specs--speed, carrying capacity; kills and saves, number of sorties. Sadly not that much on actual engineering bits. Still, you wonder if they've got the kits in the shop, or maybe a photo book. They've gotta be great sellers.]

Re: NEMESIS

[theyregooddogs]

[no, not fine .... okay, well, cool mech, kiddo!! going to head to the opposite side of the square then]
