Blake’s partner always seemed to have so much more to say than she herself. She’d grown accustomed to it across the years, yet it still baffled her a little sometimes. Yet that was one of the things she appreciated in Yang. One could’ve said she was the Yang, to her Yin. As the other spoke, and made a stupid pun, even if accidentally, Blake revealed the slightest of smiles, as she simply listened when Yang went over their upcoming plans. ”We won’t wait forever, Yang. We’ll do reconnaissance first, for a few days at most, before we shall move. The Café will work as our base of operations, as well as give us shelter, in the case that this place has weather.” she explained their plan, before she followed the other to the bike that she was about to test.
As she spoke oh so much once more, Blake reached for the helm she had set upon the bench of the bike, taking it into her hands, as she pulled it onto her head and fastened the belt. ”Might be. Then again, who knows if they have their own vehicles here.” Blake pointed out as the bike roared into life successfully, and Yang looked most pleased. ”I think you should look into the Dataverse as well, I’ll make a tour around the gates and check them, and see if there’s any differences. Then I will return to you. If you’d like, you can track my progress with the binoculars.” the other simply explained, as she waited for her Partner to rise off of the bike, before she herself climbed onto the saddle of the still running machine. ”See you soon.” the Faunus noted, as she kicked the support leg off, and turned the handle, pushing the marvel of engineering forth without an issue.
Calmly, she lowered herself against the bike to reduce the air resistance, as she turned the handle so that the bike would accelerate even further. She’d picked one of the gates as her target for now, as she pushed towards it. Had she had any way of telling compass points in this world, she would’ve known that she was heading towards east.
Blake had been pushing the bike to it’s limits for the past twelve or so minutes, before she finally eased upon the gas and pulled on the brake handle, as the bike slid to halt. It seemed like a gate made of hewn stone, and there was nothing really there, other than the gate itself. During her journey she had noticed that the gate had been getting progressively closer and closer. And sadly, there was no one. No signs, no guards, no nothing. This journey was about as useful, as a piece of plastic as a dinner. Not wanting to stay for too long, the girl pulled the gas once more, pushing the bike forth as she turned it around, taking her heading to the next gate. Had she been able to tell compass points, she would’ve known she was heading north.
After she had been torturing the machine at it’s top speeds once more, this time for slightly longer than before, the girl arrived to an archway covered in vines and moss, as well as bark. Yet there was no one here either. This time, she wouldn’t linger at all, as she simply pulled on the handle once more, pushing herself towards the next gate in order. Why weren’t there guards, people, anything? Just people going through? Those were the things that floated within the girl’s mind as she allowed the motor to scream in joy at top speeds.
After a similar amount had passed, the girl drove past a gate that seemed to be smoking rather menaciously, although as Blake didn’t notice any life here either, she simply allowed the machine to take her past it, and to the next one. The traveling was honestly getting dull already as Blake rode past a gate made of stone, seemingly eroded. No life, no stopping was still the policy, as the woman continued her journey.
As Blake approached the next gate, she could see it was made of steel, and in the distance she could see movement. Life, perhaps? The girl had a slight glimmer of hope as she allowed the machine to take her to her destination, before slowing to a halt. It seemed like they were armed guards of somekind, in a white armour with decorative black parts. They simply looked at her, like she was nothing they had seen before, as the girl spoke up. “Hello. Could you tell me where all of these gates lead?”
Oh great. Yet another new one. Then again, there would certainly be a raise for me, if I could manage to recruit her to the service, for the glory of our Empire! And apparently, they were new too, that meant it would be oh so nice and easy to say whatever he wanted. “This gate leads to Coruscant, the capital of the glorious Empire. The rest of them are insignificant, just snow, fire, wastes, dust, and then there would be one full of the empire’s enemies, scheming and lying evildoers. Camelot. The gate that is opposite of ours. You should come to Coruscant and serv- join, our glorious Empire! We are the only force mighty enough to man our gates!” the white clad soldier spoke a simple response.
Blake had had time to train in keeping her calm state, as well as a facial expression that was nigh on impossible to read, as she simply listened. She obviously realized that there was probably something completely off and fishy here, but she wouldn’t deny the information either. It was all she had to base her knowledge on, as she simply nodded. “I shall consider the offer, thank you.” she stated, as she revved the engine without further ado, turning the bike around as she pushed the engines to strive herself towards her original point, the middle. After all, if there would be no people at the rest of the gates, she would just be wasting her time.
After twelve or so minutes, the girl had returned to the café without any real issues. As she dismounted the bike, she took off her helm and set it upon the seat, as she spoke to Yang who had came to receive her. ”Eight gates, only one of them has people at it.. The one I came from, leads to Coruscant, the one I started from, leads to somewhere called Camelot… Rest, leave to...places.” she said with a mildly annoyed tone as she continued. ”So, what do we do now, Yang?”
