"Mist-penetrating camera"?
"Mist-penetrating camera"?
She's going to buy a cheap camera and take a 'selfie'. And then dress up as one of the mortals' orc characters, stupid oversized pauldrons and all, and take another.
For now she's going to have her archaic scissors symbol out, it seems maybe socially relevant.
If this were her Earth, Alphazon would not publicly admit to having such a shoddy surveillance system and Occult Research and Containment would be handling the legal side of things.
She should tell her wife she's going to be out for a while.
«…not what I meant, sweetheart, sorry. What I wanted to tell you is that it seems I've got a long quest and will be away a while.»
«Oh, right now I'm in a waiting room corresponding to the Amazon instance of the Earth I'm on. Apparently Amazon being a front does resonate across the Earths, but it seems like what it's a front for maybe varies, isn't that interesting? This Earth has a weird aggressive version of the Veil, Amazon allegedly doesn't even have a good surveillance network because normal cameras don't cut it even for witches. And people don't appreciate my Warcraft cosplay, I checked.»
«Aww, but your green skin is so smooth and even in color and doesn't transfer pigment, and you have a really nice set of tusks…»
A muscular woman with a name tag reading "Rob" emerges from the door behind Joy the receptionist, chats with her quietly for a minute, and then addresses Imrijka.
"Hi, I'm Rob! I'll be your guide and bodyguard while you're an honored guest of the Amazon Empire. Could I get your name?"
"Hi Rob, I'm Imrijka. I'm not sure if I'll really need a bodyguard, but nobody here has seen me fight, so I understand the desire to err on the side of caution."
"Nice to meet you, Imrijka! And we don't really expect any fighting to happen on the base, Queen Hylla's administration runs a tight ship. But it's the tradition to provide a bodyguard anyway, for a foreign diplomat, which is...about the closest classification we have to 'visitor from another universe', what with this never having happened before."
"Yes, in the sense that she's the commander-in-chief of our armed forces, leads the fully assembled forces in battle, and has the final authority to overrule any decision. In practice she never uses it except on martial matters and the day-to-day responsibilities of administration are handled by her cabinet of ministers."
"Queen Hylla was crowned four years ago, after the death of her predecessor in the Titan war. Most of her cabinet is carried over from the previous queen, though. Prime Minister Jackson—no relation—has been in office for twenty.
...ah, my bad, bit of a verbal tic. There's a war hero of some of our allies who has the same surname and I'm used to clearing up confusion."
