Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 "If your going to be the emotional one then I have to be the logical one, I'm trying to understand you Edo, but you must also try to understand me. The way I have reasoned is simple, if you are unwilling to take the lives of other humans then your risk of being damaged increases. Your softness makes you you, I will protect that at all costs yes. If you can't stomach taking life then I will do it in your stead, it's the only logical way to keep you safe. And if what you say is true, that organics can't come back online when they are deactivated, then it only means I have to protect you all the more." She smiled hopefully. "And then, when this is all over, we can spend centuries living together, forever just me and you. And our spawn! Oh I can't wait." Eudoxia smiled. "Alright, I'll try and understand. Just don't go on a killing spree." he said breaking the hug. He then placed a hand on her head and broke his lips apart so he could smile with his teeth. "And yes we will. After this all blows over." he said to reassure her, not even sure if he would live through this period in his life. He then put a hand on Seven's shoulder. "But, Seven, if you are not going to do one thing, don't die for me." he demanded.
"But, Seven, if you are not going to do one thing, don't die for me." "Who are you talking to?" She said suddenly picking him up like a sac of potatoes, hanging the poor by his ankle then slinging him over her shoulders all the while chuckling at how helpless he was. "I'm the one who can repair my self, you don't have to worry about me, you on the other hand." She said bragging a little while strolling back to the inn. "You're wearing the skirt in this relationship. AHAHAHA!" "......" "That was a jest people, I got it from a magazine, it is funny because you are the male but and I am a female but you are wearing the skirt, implying that I the female is stronger, which is why it is humourous."
Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 "You're wearing the skirt in this relationship. AHAHAHA!" Eudoxia laughed along to the joke. He then soon realized that she had just called it a relationship. He ignored it, hoping that Xin hadn't caught it.
Xin: Level: 2.02 Xin snorted, covering her mouth with her hand. Unlike Eudo she had actually caught the reference. Then, turning to Myth, she gave the medic a smile. "How about you stick around me? You might just end up being pulled into the same stuff as i am," she said, waving a hand flippantly at her outfit. Then she glanced slyly at Eudo out of the corner of her eye, and a flash of green crossed her pupil for a moment. Target aquired. Her face immediately registered alarm and she clapped her hands over her head as pain ripped down her spine. Gritting her teeth, her body quaked violently as she visibly struggled to keep from moving. "You are not going to do that Torg! I know what you want and It's so not happening!" she hissed, and red lines crisscrossed her irises as her fingers clenched. Then she relaxed as confusion emanated from the nanobots -or Torg as it called itself. Sighing, she slumped back against the couch and looked at a point on the wall. She would best this thing. It wasn't sentient, it was just a bunch of robots. Wasn't it?
Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 "Are you alright?!" Eudoxia yelled. He slipped his way out of Seven's hands. He than ran towards her expecting Seven to follow. "What is wrong?" he asked Xin. He saw that she was recently in pain, "Do you need Myth to help you out?" he asked concerned, seeing as he has seen what her bots do to her body constantly. He then looked Xin up and down, still looking at her dress. "Still look nice, Xin." He stood calling Myth over to check up on Xin. "As soon as we find out what is wrong with Xin, I'll help you pick up your clothes." Edo told Seven, seeing as how after that punch, her clothes were knocked off of her.
Xin: Level: 2.02 "I'm fine." Xin said tightly, trying to stand up, but as soon as Eudo came within her sights Torg acted up again. Target aquired. Must destroy. Her hand went to the hilt of her sword and Xin trembled as her muscles spasmed to keep from pulling it out. "Eudo . . ." she said very, very carefully as her eyes turned completely blood-red, "Run." Then the sword was out, and despite her willing it to stop the blade sliced right for his head.
Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 Eudoxia used his Speed Enhancement Chip to pull his handle out very quickly. The digital sword then formed itself. A blue digital sword arose from the hilt. The two swords were about to collide, and Edo was not surprised. "Are your NanoBots messing up again? Those things are dangerous. You must be careful, they might harm your body." he said not even worrying about himself, but more for Xin. "Also, Seven try to stay back, don't attack Xin, it isn't her fault." he demanded and explained.
Adwaita Adwaita stood and stomped her foot. "What is WRONG with you guys?!", she roared. "We can't just have a normal meal, you guys have to break walls and wave aorund swords and lose control!" Adwaita was so frustrated she made a gesture and a chair exploded to bits. "Look what you made me do!" She was in a fit. "Xin, control those damn things inside you", Adwaita snapped, hands on hips. "What kind of Jumper can't control their own body? It's..." She scrambled for a word. "...it's preposterous! And Seven, why would you try to kill Eudoxia if you supposedly like him? Just because he ASKED?! Why you gotta be so stupid?" Adwaita sighed and flopped into the nearest seat, shakign her head. "You guys are so unproffessional, I can't even." She rolled her eyes at the ceiling, giving up.
Mythai Mythai shook her head as Adwaita exploded. She was also concerned about Xin but everyone was being so high-strung. What a sight they probably were to the people of this world. "Adwaita," Mythai said, walking over to her. "You need to take five deep breaths too. It's easy. Just breath in and out." She grinned. "Unless of course you're too busy yelling..." Her attention then turned to Xin. "You may want to keep a log of when your nanobots spin out of control. By doing so it could give you a better idea of why this is happening to you. Something or someone may even be triggering them, similar to a hyperactive condition." Mythai cast a knowing glance at Adwaita.
" She scrambled for a word. "...it's preposterous! And Seven, why would you try to kill Eudoxia if you supposedly like him "Well I would just repair him." Seven said shrugging. She still had not grasped the concept of death it seemed, at least not in organics. "I wouldn't of damaged him beyond repaired. Oh and Xin, you should get rid of your robots, they doing more harm then good."
Xin's eyes were still blood-red. It was obvious she wasn't in control of herself as she swung her blade at Eudo. The Commander was returning from ordering meals at the counter when she saw this. She moved with in incredible speed landing in front of Xin and blocking her next attack. Then she charged her hand with electricity and placed it on Xin's chest. The charge attacked like a taser, briefly knocking Xin out and causing the nano-bots to shutdown for the time being. When Xin came to, the Commander was kneeling next to her. Her eyes were dead serious and seemed to gleam with knowledge that no one else knew. "If you can't find a way to get your nano-bots under control, I will be forced to send you back to earth and have them extracted. They cannot be allowed to continue endangering the team." "Well I would just repair him." Seven said shrugging. She still had not grasped the concept of death it seemed, at least not in organics. "I wouldn't of damaged him being repaired. "Seven." Mason sighed. "Humans aren't like robots. The major difference between us is that we have something called souls and you don't. When we die, our souls leave our body and go to a different dimension of sorts. There is no getting those back, no matter how much repair you do to the body. That's why when a person is killed, they're dead for good."
Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 Eudoxia watched as Tina stopped the attack from Xin, he then over heard Seven's comment. But then realized that Mason tried to begin explaining humans to Seven. "Mason." Edo intervened raising his hand in the direction of Mason, after putting his sword away. "This is no time to explain such things. Maybe after we all eat. Maybe in the morning. We had a long week, we need some rest after a good amount of food." he said trying to convince the team. He then walked back through the hole in the side of the inn wall. "Guys go ahead and start to eat without me. I'll start rebuilding. Maybe you should try some food, Seven." he suggested smiling. "Also Xin, I think you may need to rest." he said watching as Tina and Xin were still locked by swords. His purple eyes set on the multiple bricks and pieces of bricks and began to collect them.
Xin: Level: 2.02 Xin's eyes flickered for a moment in rebellion, but she pulled away from Tina and sheathed her sword. "Yes, commander." she said lowly, but her thoughts were centered on the indignity of it. It wasn't her fault that these things were controlling her! Stalking away, she slammed the door to her room and set about venting her frustrations on a pillow. After a few seconds it was no more than scattered feathers, and she was still shaking with anger. Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. She paused, and blinked several times in surprise. Reactivating. Damage attained . . . 40%. Reverting excess oxygen to cellular production. They wake up that fast? she thought, scared, and Torg seemed to notice her emotion. Identifying A.I code 666-333-777 ex. Android "Seven" life form. Loading . . . The presence grew in her mind, and Xin shook violently as she sat down on the bed, not feeling any pain but an odd tickling sensation creeping up her fingers. Then her eye itched, and when she blinked and glanced at the mirror her jaw dropped. Hello, Xin. I am Torg. a male voice said as it scrambled and then settled on one that it seemed to like. Her left eye had turned completely black, and a circle of red could be seen in the middle, contracting and widening like a pupil. "Oh my god," she whispered, staring at herself. She was actually more shocked than alarmed, "Wh-what? How did?" All will be explained in time, but a mission has been programmed into me to guide you to your later destination, of which i cannot yet disclose to you to avoid your bio-genetic form being destroyed. I fear it will be some time before it will be safe enough for me to give you said information, but I assure you you can trust me. Torg said, and the pupil contracted, To begin with, i fear that Android, Seven as you call it, proves to have the most threat over your life as well as Commander Tina Sharp and Eudoxia, or Eudo as you call him. I will need to make some changes to your cellular build, but that should be painless unlike my innitial entry into your bloodstream. This will all be made to your advantage, i promise you. Xin nodded once, and she felt as if Torg was smiling in approval. Good, now could you please go out and remain near the others? i need to update my scans of their previous anatomic levels. Torg asked, and Xin stood, walking as if in air towards the door. She felt unnaturally light, but before she opened it, she was careful to pull her bangs over her left eye to hide the first change Torg had made to her body. Stepping out, she exhaled and gave off the appearance of weariness, but also hunger. Still, the glowing red pupil of her left eye shone between the dark strands of her hair, gathering and processing information, and for what she did not know.
Adwaita Adwaita watched Xin stomp off in a huff, anger growing in her chest. "Why is she so upset?", she grumbled to herself, gripping the edge of her seat. That girl had some nerve! She goes berzerk on a team member and she gets mad because Commander Sharp gives her a talking to?! She must be out of her mind if she doesn't understand why someone would be mad about that! Letting out a long breath, as Mythai had suggested, Adwaita assumed a cheery expression and told everyone, "I'm just gonna go freshen up, teehee!" She sprang to her feet and swished off, the silver and gold embroidery on her skirt flashing in the scant candle-light. But Adwaita had no intention of going to freshen up--she headed straight for Xin's door, prepared ot blow it up to get inside, but Xin walked straight out as if nothing had occured. "Xin, you have some NERVE, miss prissy", Adwaita began, voicing her thoughts from earlier. She poked Xin's shoulder, hard, and the other girl's shaggy bangs shifted from the forecful impact. Adwaita stopped when she noticed Xin's all-black eye, with a red circle in the middle. It was incredibly unnerving and it reminded Adwaita of the pictures of demonic beings in her grandmother Zipporah's big leather-bound book of folk-tales. "What happened to you? Are you alright?", Adwaita went on, her voice softer and filled with concern.
Xin: Level: 2.02 Xin blinked, then tucked her bangs back behind her ear with a sigh. The secret was out. "I'm fine Adwaita. You see . . . I . . . I'm in control now." she lied, looking down at her toes for a moment, then looking back up again and allowing a weak smile to cross her face. "When Tina zapped me it did something, so i guess it was just a glitch." Scan completed for Cadet Adwaita. Torg told her, and Xin seemed to zone out mentally for a moment as the information filled her mind. She didn't even understand half of it, but some things she did. "Look. All's well that ends well, right? Let's go get something to eat." she said, heading back down the hall.
Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 Eudoxia had finished fixing the wall. He used his Speed Enhancement chip to speed things up. He quickly than ran to Xin to make sure that she was okay. He ran over into the room the Xin was in and yelled, "Are you okay, Xin?" He saw Adwaita and knew Xin would be fine, plus he glanced as Xin to check, everything was okay. But he didn't actually notice her eye, he turned around and began to walk out of the room. He was hungry and tired, he was ready to sleep soon. Very soon, he had no idea what his comrade was going through right now.
Seven was sitting with the rest of the pondering what she had learned today. "A soul huh? I need a soul to be human then?" She looked over at the others. "What is a soul? and were does one get it? And why does one want it?" She was asking no one really, just brooding to herself. She activated her scanner and began looking inside her teammates bodies, through their cloths first, trying to find some sign of a soul. She found...other things which on inspection she realized she, lacked. This greatly worried her as well as puzzled her. "Is that, where the soul is?" Well it was the only body part all the other girls had, the only part she lacked, so she reasoned it must be the soul Mason was talking about. She smiled, at least she knew or at least thought she knew, what to do. First chance she got she would ask Edo to build her a soul, just like everyone else. Then as she went back to playing with her food. Her eye's flashed orange a sign of waryness. She picked up someone else, something else. She began staring intently at Xin, scanner her over and over. She frowned, something had to be done. She got up and sat beside Xin then looking at her said. "So are you going to say hello anytime soon?" Seven said casually, but she wasn't talking to Xin. "I too can scan, and I can detect when I'm being scanned, twice now you have put Edo's life underthreat. Do it again and I'll shut you down before you can hack an email acount. Oh Hi Xin don't mind me." She added barely even remembering Xin was there. She went back to talking to the A.I "By the way, have you found a soul inside there?"
Xin: Level: 2.02 Xin's spine prickled, but she allowed the odd feeling of her muscles moving on her own as her left eye glowed and the pupil contracted. Her mouth moved by Torg's will as he aimed to communicate with Seven, since he couldn't speak otherwise. "I very much doubt you could shut me down, young one. I am a much older model than you and thus have had time to adapt." Xin's mouth quirked in a smug grin, "I have had time to restructure my components, and now even that Commander can no longer harm me. It took long enough for me to build a shock-absorbancy resistant cellular wall though, so i give her credit for longevity. Still, even if that does not damage me any longer, it would damage Xin, and i cannot afford to have her harmed in any way. So . . . don't threaten mine, and i won't threaten yours. Check your databases and look up the A.I Torg, you will see I do not lie when it comes to my abilities." Xin's head bobbed in Edo's direction, and then the girl blinked as she was back in control of her own vehicular functions. "As for a soul, Seven, you cannot see it. That is what makes it impossible to take it out of the human body unless we die. It is untouchable, and irremovable. You are either born with one or not, or in your case, built. Personally, i think it is a matter of belief."
Adwaita Adwaita followed Xin back to their table, slightly bewildered by the other girl's odd behaviour. For a moment there, Xin had just stared into space as if she was having a vision or something. Adwaita took a little detour to get something to drink from the bar--she settled on a mug of warm ale--and went to sit with the others just as Seven finished one of her long contemplaions of human nature, and she had only taken her first sip when Xin suggested that souls were a figment of belief. Adwaita choked on her drink. "Are you for serious?", she said when she could speak again. Her eyes wer ehard as she looked Xin directly in her eyes, even the weird black one. "My father died, okay? He's gone from this world. But I believe his spirit has merely ascended to another dimension. I have to believe that." Her voice grew more emotional as she spoke and her eyes brimmed with tears, but they did not spill over. "My grandmother is a renowned spiritual healer, she can help mend ailments of the soul. She helped me from the depths of my apathy after I accidentally incinerated my own father. I know that when I die we will be reunited on a higher plane." She was daring Xin to say otherwise. Without even realizing, Adwaita's hand was on the table and it was opened, palm facing Xin's face. Adwaita quickly recoiled her hand and muttered an apology, and went back to sipping her ale. It was different tasting, but she liked it more every time she sipped.
Xin: Level: 2.02 "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Adwaita. It's just that . . . we both have different pasts, so we will both veiw the world differently. I had my parents taken away soon after they had abandoned me, so I obviously wasn't attatched to them very much." Xin looked at her plate, poking a ball of what appeared to be meatloaf or something similar. Guilt pricked her conciousness, and Torg stepped in. It is not your fault you do not like them very much, Xin. It is likely better that they left early anyways. What if you had loved them as much as Adwaita had loved her father? You may not have recovered or be in the same position as you are now. "True . . ." she mumbled unconciously, stabbing the ball and popping it into her mouth. Her eyes flickered over the room, and Torg took in every detail, her left pupil dilating until it was huge, and then contracting to a tiny point. She realized Adwaita was staring at her as if she had just grown a second head na dcoughed, covering her mouth. "Sorry, I've got a lot to deal with right now and even with two minds its hard to keep things straight right now. Torg, could you please stop that?" she said to Adwaita, and then to herself. Torg huffed and retracted back into her mind, and her eye returned to normal other than the blood-red pupil.
Mythai Mythai stared down at her plate of chunky meat, trying to hold back a gag. She was certain it'd move at any moment. And was that a piece...of hair? "My father died, okay? He's gone from this world. But I believe his spirit has merely ascended to another dimension. I have to believe that." "...I had my parents taken away soon after they had abandoned me, so I obviously wasn't attached to them very much." Hearing bits of conversation, Mythai shoved away her plate and took the opportunity to procrastinate from eating. "We're talking about parents, huh?" she said, leaning back in her seat. "I'd imagine mine are far from where I left them last. Probably in a city, gloating as people tell them how they couldn't survive without them." Mythai's voice dripped of bitterness. "To think they willingly help others, but left their own daughter to learn everything for herself. And nearly four years with nothing but one letter, it's almost...like I don't exist." Mythai slowly raised her head to look Adwaita in the eye. "I truly am sorry about your father, Adwaita. You're lucky you had one that cared about you though; be thankful for your memories."
Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 Edo had sat at the table and checked his food for anything out of the ordinary. Once he had realized it was all just meat, nothing suspicious, he began to eat. What he had on his plate was just ham with a bone sticking out. He grabbed the bone and began to bite from the ham. He was interrupted in the middle of eating when Seven asked him to make her a soul. He stopped from the eating, which made his pretty eyes and his light hair impossible to see, just seeing the way he ate made him look like an animal. Though, in all honesty he had been starving, he had a long week. He turned to Seven, "I'll try my best to make you a soul, Seven!" he told her reassuringly. "Though I don't believe you really need one. You seem capable of doing what you need to without one." he continued. He stopped once more eating again. He then saw as Xin nodded at him and smiled after Seven was done talking to her, he had no idea why she did it. But he thought maybe she was just happy to see him. He stopped his chewing, and said "Hey Xin!" with a mouth almost completely full of food, yet none came out while talking. He then went back to eating but the meat was almost all gone. As soon as he saw Myth starting to get sad, and everyone starting to talk about parents. he rose his hand. "Guys let's not get all sad right now, we should enjoy each other's company by talking about something more jolly. More uplifting. Alright?" He said smiling to Adwaita and Mythai.
"Hey guys, um, what are you all talking about. What is a father and why do you like them so much." Seven asked. Then on further thinking she added. "I'm sorry Adwaita but I fairly sure there is no soul, I know I scanned you multiple times, at first I though that funny thing in your pants might be a soul but apparently a soul is not something you can see or feel, if that's true then how do any of you know it's real? Seems to me this is justs another delusion humans have come up with to justify thinking them selfs as better then others." Seven said matter a factly.
Eudoxia Level 2 Point Amount: 180 Money Amount: 90 Eudoxia almost chocked on his food at Seven's comment. He wasn't sure which shocked him most the sexual reference, or her comment on souls. He began to choke, but swallowed his food eventually. He then raised his hand in alarm. He had a look of worry and a blush on his face, it made his purple eyes seem brighter. Now, he was in a more playful mood, his previous worry was gone, and now a new one of a fight between Seven and Adwaita plagued his mind. "Seven, we need to talk!" Edo yelled in a voice. He was so worried his voice made him seem as if he was in his adolescence. He then stood trying to walk to her before Adwaita could make a comeback that would ruin their whole get together, sit down feast.
"Seven, we need to talk!" "What? what I do?" Seven asked as she was ushered away. "I scanned their bodies looking for a soul and the only difference between me and them was that thing, so I assumed that was a soul. Heck you even said you'd build me one. Now your acting all embarrassed, honestly you humans are so weird, and why are they getting all emotional over a father? it's ridiculous how sensitive everyone can be at times...remind me what a father is again? I think I read it before somewhere."
