  34. [23:43] * [Mode]GM dawn breaks on a new day in the wastelands. It's been several long years since the wars that burnt the land have past, but in the ruined shell of civilization, humanity survives. Their hardships, their joys and their trials in life. This isn't about them, though. Instead, we turn our attention to the horizon, an ominous leering sight, built overlooking a sheer cliff. The Alan Marcus Maximum...
  35. [23:43] * [Mode]GM ...Security Prison, a standing remnant of the old world, shielded form it's destruction by powerful wards, it's long been transformed from a holding center for criminals, and instead has become the stronghold of one particular spoiled princess and her band of maids.
  36. [23:48] * [kiri]Takenaba is patrolling the grounds. No unusual occurrence.
  37. [23:49] * [Spi]Kosha mans (maids) the guardtower overlooking the forecourt
  38. [23:49] * [Mode]Aileen trots out of her room, the reclaimed Wardens office. Another morning, and no one in sight to wait on her.
  39. [23:49] <[Mode]Aileen> These maids...
  40. [23:50] * [Dune]Iniuria goes about traditional maid duties, and is doing the laundry.
  41. [23:50] * [kiri]Takenaba mumble :
  42. [23:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> For the love of god... why am I dressing in a frilly outfit and skirts? Shit is getting insane.
  43. [23:51] * [Gtz]Maidbot is busy collecting dust somewhere nondescript. It appears she hasn't been reactivated.
  44. [23:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> FUCK FUCK FUCK! I need to vent my frustration somewhere!
  45. [23:51] <[Mode]Aileen> Take? Ini? Kosha? Anyone around? Hey~?
  46. [23:51] * [kiri]Takenaba kick the old dusty storage room's door.
  47. [23:51] * [Spi]Kosha zzzzz~
  48. [23:52] <[kiri]Takenaba> *cough*... this place is dusty, fuck.
  49. [23:54] * [Mode]Aileen hears nothing in response, just a distant bang. Damn it.
  50. [23:54] <[kiri]Takenaba> Come to think of it... this room is always locked down...
  51. [23:55] * [Mode]Aileen turns back to her room and goes back in, looking it over. One of these buttons or panels has to do something again.
  52. [23:55] <[kiri]Takenaba> mn. Flashlight flashlight where....
  53. [23:55] <[Mode]Aileen> Let's see... near the microphone...
  54. [23:55] * [Dune]Iniuria notices this bang, and having placed the clothes in the washing machine, begins making her way over to the source of the bang.
  55. [23:55] * [kiri]Takenaba rummaging through his frilly dress.
  56. [23:56] <[kiri]Takenaba> Argh. Fucking fuck of the fuck. I hate dressing as a girl!
  57. [23:56] * [kiri]Takenaba get the flashlight, eventually.
  58. [23:56] * [Mode]Aileen presses a button, and a loud screeching buzz fills the air. She jumps a bit and releases the button, before realizing it was the speaker system.
  59. [23:56] * [Mode]Aileen presses the button again.
  60. [23:56] <[kiri]Takenaba> !!
  61. [23:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Anyone hear this? Hello?
  62. [23:57] <[kiri]Takenaba> "LOUD AND CLEAR, MISSY!"
  63. [23:57] * [Dune]Iniuria stops walking, and speaks out loudly, hoping that Aileen will hear her through the system.
  64. [23:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> I do as well!
  65. [23:58] * [Spi]Kosha starts and falls off of her chair "AUuugh?!"
  66. [23:58] * [Mode]Aileen hears nothing, once again. Goddammit.
  67. [23:59] <[Mode]Aileen> If anyone can hear this, I'm awake now, and someone should get up here and serve me breakfast!
  68. [23:59] * [kiri]Takenaba lost his flashlight.
  69. [23:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> OH GOD FUC----!!!
  70. [23:59] * [Dune]Iniuria looks back and forth between the source of the bang and the way to the mistress's room, pondering which to go to.
  71. [23:59] * [kiri]Takenaba kick the nearby chair. it crashes with something and make a loud "clank".
  72. [23:59] <[Spi]Kosha> "...Hum."
  73. [00:00] <[kiri]Takenaba> What the clank is that?
  74. [00:00] * [Mode]GM the speakers crackle one final time as Aileen releases the speaker button.
  75. [00:00] * [Dune]Iniuria then chooses to go to the mistress, since no one else seems to be with her.
  76. [00:00] * [kiri]Takenaba explore the source of the sound.
  77. [00:00] * [Spi]Kosha stands up, neatens her dress, and makes toward the stairs down
  78. [00:00] <[Spi]Kosha> "...Oh, yes."
  79. [00:01] <[Mode]Aileen> You'd think they'd be on the ball by now...
  80. [00:01] * [Spi]Kosha reachers for her katana, and taps it along infront of her to feel ahead.
  81. [00:01] * [Dune]Iniuria hurries along to Aileen's room.
  82. [00:01] * [Mode]Aileen mumbling to herself, she leaves her room once again, taking a seat in a rather large chair salvaged from some ruins somewhere outside her door.
  83. [00:02] * [Dune]Iniuria shouts as she runs.
  84. [00:02] <[Dune]Iniuria> i'm coming, mistress!
  85. [00:02] * [Gtz]Maidbot is clanked, but shows no further reaction. It's eyes are open, yet they are dead.
  86. [00:02] * [Dune]Iniuria 's large ribbon on her back bobs up and down as she runs.
  87. [00:02] * [Mode]Aileen hears a faint voice at last. Sounds like a lazy maid!
  88. [00:02] <[kiri]Takenaba> Eh?.... Human-shaped automaton?
  89. [00:02] <[Mode]Aileen> You're late to wake me up!
  90. [00:02] * [Mode]Aileen shouts back at the voice.
  91. [00:03] * [Dune]Iniuria runs faster.
  92. [00:03] * [kiri]Takenaba touching here and there. Oh. it seems that the automaton is in good shape.
  93. [00:03] <[Dune]Iniuria> i'm sorry, mistress~!
  94. [00:03] * [Gtz]Maidbot a round indentation resembling a ying-yang emits a blue glow. Around the edges circles the words, INACTIVE - INACTIVE - INACTIVE
  95. [00:03] * [Spi]Kosha tap. tap. tap. Ambles along slowly, tracing the well known, but begrudingly travelled path to the kitchens
  96. [00:03] <[Dune]Iniuria> i was trying to finish the laundry before you did!
  97. [00:03] <[kiri]Takenaba> WHa---!
  98. [00:04] * [Gtz]Maidbot the glow is faint, but bright enough in the room to read see what it is.
  99. [00:05] * [Dune]Iniuria arrives at the mistress's room.
  100. [00:05] * [kiri]Takenaba poking the two most obvious button. THAT place.
  101. [00:05] * [Mode]Aileen she pouts a little as the maid comes into view, trying to mask her annoyance.
  102. [00:05] <[kiri]Takenaba> POKE! Hur hur~
  103. [00:05] * [Dune]Iniuria without any apparent exhaustion, she faces Aileen without fear.
  104. [00:05] <[Mode]Aileen> I appreciate you doing your job, but you should always put my priorities over all.
  105. [00:06] * [Gtz]Maidbot 's lifelike nipple is poked. It's not very effective.
  106. [00:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> mngh. not this one.
  107. [00:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> so....
  108. [00:06] * [kiri]Takenaba poje the nostrils.
  109. [00:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> *poke
  110. [00:07] <[Dune]Iniuria> i'm sorry, mistress, i was trying my best to keep on time...
  111. [00:07] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice trails off, but she does not look any less resolute.
  112. [00:07] * [Gtz]Maidbot furthermore, the bot is completely naked. It looks quite human, save for creases in places around the wrists and joints, as well as the glowing from the forehead.
  113. [00:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> Bah.
  114. [00:08] * [Mode]Aileen sighs, and stands up, crossing her arms. She still looks a little annoyed.
  115. [00:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> It might be like in that cartoon I read back then The switch is hiding in....
  116. [00:08] * [Spi]Kosha finds her way to the kitchens, and notices no one else present. With a gentle sigh at the lack of anyone else to let do the work for her, attempts to see if there is anything in the refridgerator to save her the effort
  117. [00:09] * [kiri]Takenaba poke Chii's switch. You know that, right? Chii's switch.
  118. [00:09] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, I won't hold it against you. After all, you did come along when I called. The others will get an earful over this, though.
  119. [00:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, thank you.
  120. [00:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> but i there was some sort of crashing sound i heard on my way here, i think at least one other of us is genuinely occupied at the moment.
  121. [00:11] <[kiri]Takenaba> does it work, I wonder....
  122. [00:12] <[Mode]Aileen> They better hope so, I heard something too.
  123. [00:12] <[kiri]Takenaba> Bah. Whatever.
  124. [00:12] <[Mode]Aileen> Damn miracle I suppose.
  125. [00:12] * [kiri]Takenaba poke the automaton around in various places. randomly.
  126. [00:12] * [Mode]Aileen drops her arms and folds them behind her back, then takes on an expecting look.
  127. [00:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> Should i go investigate?
  128. [00:12] <[kiri]Takenaba> one must be the place where the switch is. The light's still on.
  129. [00:13] <[Mode]Aileen> Now, here to take me to breakfast?
  130. [00:13] * [Gtz]Maidbot probably doesn't have a switch wherever you poked and definitely isn't Chii, but her player is getting anxious, so she begins to activate anyway. Upon pressing the switch, her eyes flash bright red, enough to overcome the darkness of the room. Her forehead begins circling again, flashing ERROR - ERROR - ERROR
  131. [00:13] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, yes.
  132. [00:13] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
  133. [00:13] <[Dune]Iniuria> this way, mistress.
  134. [00:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> Jesus Mcwhat!
  135. [00:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> Looks like I just broke this bot.
  136. [00:13] * [Dune]Iniuria begins walking in the direction of the nearest kitchen.
  137. [00:15] * [Mode]Aileen follows along behind her maid.
  138. [00:15] * [Gtz]Maidbot 's forehead monitor begins reading in much smaller letters: unable to resolve conflict with skyserv. Boot from disk anyway? >YES >NO
  139. [00:15] <[kiri]Takenaba> I don't know, but if there's a yes to press I'll press it anyway.
  140. [00:15] * [kiri]Takenaba press yes.
  141. [00:17] <[Spi]Kosha> "Oh well~"
  142. [00:17] * [Gtz]Maidbot 's eyes dim and her body begins to move. For a moment, it sounds as if a small turbine or fan is running, but it quickly stops and the you're left alone with the android in the dark.
  143. [00:18] * [Spi]Kosha attempts to kick some life into the kitchen! Grabbing a handful of randoms within reach, and starts the flames a bright for some good old fashioned "stuff in a pot" cooking
  144. [00:18] <[kiri]Takenaba> What.
  145. [00:18] <[kiri]Takenaba> It totally broke, damnit.
  146. [00:18] * [Gtz]Maidbot speaks:
  147. [00:19] * [kiri]Takenaba search the room for a dusty blanket to cover her body when the bot speaks.
  148. [00:20] * [Mode]Aileen along the walk to the kitchens, she passes her time and keeps herself amused by conjuring small light patterns and symbols.
  149. [00:20] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Error: No directives assigned. If a directive is not assigned within twelve minutes, your bot will enter INACTIVE mode.
  150. [00:20] * [Dune]Iniuria notices while en-route to the kitchen that she, too is hungry.
  151. [00:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Directive?
  152. [00:21] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Input command.
  153. [00:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Bah. Dunno. I'll just take this bot up.
  154. [00:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Huh? command?
  155. [00:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> alright.....
  156. [00:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Stand up!"
  157. [00:22] * [Gtz]Maidbot stands up straight. It is still quite naked, and all of its features are a pale white. Eyes, skin, hair, everything.
  158. [00:22] <[kiri]Takenaba> duh... do I have to key it in or what?
  159. [00:22] <[kiri]Takenaba> Woah. nice.
  160. [00:23] <[kiri]Takenaba> And I mean the function, not your lifelike texture and chassis body, of course. I totally am!
  161. [00:23] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Please establish a directive.
  162. [00:23] <[kiri]Takenaba> mnn...
  163. [00:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Follow me."
  164. [00:24] * [kiri]Takenaba put the dusty blanket over the bot
  165. [00:24] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Acknowledged.
  166. [00:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> gotta show the missy this nifty bot!
  167. [00:24] * [kiri]Takenaba head off to the master's bedroom.
  168. [00:25] * [Gtz]Maidbot follows Takenaba at an even pace, collecting data on his movements for later reference
  169. [00:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> HEY MISSY! I GOT SOMETHING FOR YA!
  170. [00:34] * [Dune]Iniuria hears a shout that sounds slightly like Takenaba, and shouts back:
  171. [00:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> Takenaba? What was all that crashing earlier about?
  172. [00:34] <[kiri]Takenaba> I FOUND MYSELF A NEAT STUFF! COME TAKE A LOOK!
  173. [00:35] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to Aileen.
  174. [00:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> is it alright if we take a short discourse from your morning meal, mistress?
  175. [00:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> it should only be a minute, i think.
  176. [00:36] <[Mode]Aileen> Eeh? But I'm hungry.
  177. [00:36] <[Mode]Aileen> How long will this take?
  178. [00:36] * [Dune]Iniuria shrugs.
  179. [00:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> if all she needs to do is show us something, it won't take long, right?
  180. [00:37] * [Mode]Aileen sighs and rubs her stomach.
  181. [00:37] <[Mode]Aileen> Fine, let's see what all the hollering is about then.
  182. [00:39] * [Dune]Iniuria turns back to face where Take's shouts came from.
  183. [00:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> hurry it up then, the mistress is hungry!
  184. [00:39] * [Spi]Kosha listens to the sound of bubbles rising the the surface, as the stirs away at her pot full of miscellanious foodstuffs. What's the worst that could happen?
  185. [00:39] <[Mode]Aileen> I'll eat you instead if you take too long!
  186. [00:39] * [kiri]Takenaba arrived at the kitchen. He changes the destination because the voice is from here.
  187. [00:40] * [Mode]Aileen her shouts come off slightly weak, not really one to spend much time shouting.
  188. [00:40] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey, lookie! Tadaaaaaan~!
  189. [00:40] * [kiri]Takenaba show the group the automaton he just found.
  190. [00:40] * [Gtz]Maidbot is shown. It doesn't look particularly... well, anything.
  191. [00:41] * [Spi]Kosha sighs
  192. [00:41] * [Dune]Iniuria blinks at the nigh-naked form, noticing that the blanket draped over her (its) shoulders only really covers her upper torso.
  193. [00:42] * [Mode]Aileen looks over the 'neat stuff' and slumps her shoulders.
  194. [00:42] <[Mode]Aileen> This is it? A naked drifter?
  195. [00:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> nope!
  196. [00:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> It's a robot!
  197. [00:42] * [Mode]Aileen looks at the unimpressive looking automaton.
  198. [00:42] <[Mode]Aileen> A robot.
  199. [00:42] <[Mode]Aileen> Left over in a prison.
  200. [00:43] <[Mode]Aileen> Can it clean?
  201. [00:43] <[kiri]Takenaba> I dunno. let's ask it.
  202. [00:43] <[kiri]Takenaba> hey. Can you clean places, bot?
  203. [00:45] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Response one: Affirmative. The automaton can preform any task within and beyond the scope of human ability, so long as directions are clear. Response two: Is "bot" a title suggestion? No title has been applied to this automaton.
  204. [00:46] <[Mode]Aileen> Does that mean you can cook too?
  205. [00:46] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey. It's asking a name. What should we give? or just a plain 'ol robot?
  206. [00:47] * [Dune]Iniuria huffs at this suggestion.
  207. [00:47] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Affirmitive.
  208. [00:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> hey, that's no way to treat her!
  209. [00:47] * [Gtz]Maidbot 's voice is in a dull monotone, but is obviously meant to be female.
  210. [00:47] <[Mode]Aileen> Cooks, cleans... How about hunting?
  211. [00:47] * [Gtz]Maidbot repeats:
  212. [00:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> well, uh. It's a ROBOT. sheesh.
  213. [00:47] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Affirmative. The automaton can preform any task within and beyond the scope of human ability, so long as directions are clear.
  214. [00:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> It's like electrical appliance.
  215. [00:48] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, that's good to hear then.
  216. [00:48] * [Dune]Iniuria huffs again.
  217. [00:48] * [Mode]Aileen looks at Takenaba.
  218. [00:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> hey, aren't you forgetting something?
  219. [00:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> Huh?
  220. [00:48] * [Mode]Aileen looks back at the robot.
  221. [00:48] * [Dune]Iniuria simultaneously points at her own forehead and the 'bot'.
  222. [00:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> Oops.
  223. [00:49] * [kiri]Takenaba whistles. looking elsewhere.
  224. [00:49] <[Gtz]Maidbot> The automaton is equipped with the T-850 computer chip, making the automaton a learning computer. The more the automaton interacts with humans, the more the automaton learns.
  225. [00:49] <[Mode]Aileen> You can take Takenaba's place for the day, as she's being punished for spending her time digging through junk rather than attending to her duties.
  226. [00:49] <[kiri]Takenaba> Wait what? So I accidentally named this bot "Automaton"?
  227. [00:49] * [Dune]Iniuria stamps her foot, and continues to glower at Takenaba.
  228. [00:49] <[kiri]Takenaba> Wait, WHAT?!
  229. [00:49] * [Mode]Aileen looks back at Takenaba.
  230. [00:49] <[Mode]Aileen> You heard me.
  231. [00:49] <[kiri]Takenaba> I got you a nice stuffs!
  232. [00:50] <[Mode]Aileen> Which is why you're not being thrown out by my new security robot.
  233. [00:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ehhhh~!
  234. [00:50] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Negative. The automaton's title has not been written, and thus defaults to automaton in self-reference.
  235. [00:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Fine, fine, fine!
  236. [00:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Don't come running at me crying, you crybaby princess!
  237. [00:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hmph!
  238. [00:51] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Update title definitions if you wish to assign this automaton a title.
  239. [00:51] * [Dune]Iniuria glowers at Takenaba more.
  240. [00:51] * [kiri]Takenaba o 0 (God damn, I'm good at faking girlish angry! I'm a genius!)
  241. [00:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> did you just insult our mistress?
  242. [00:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> Nope! you're hearing things!
  243. [00:51] * [Mode]Aileen frowns, and points at Takenaba. A brief flash of light and a small, weak arc of electricity jumps from her finger to Takenaba's arm. It'd barely register as anything more than a pinch, but still.
  244. [00:52] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes narrow, and she drops her arms to her sides.
  245. [00:52] <[kiri]Takenaba> oy! ow! aw!
  246. [00:52] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles, and relaxes a little.
  247. [00:52] <[Mode]Aileen> Don't forget you get to have a relatively easy life here as a servant rather than edging by a miserable life out there in the wastes.
  248. [00:52] * [Dune]Iniuria then holds her hand up, to try and high-five Aileen.
  249. [00:53] * [Mode]Aileen catches sight of Iniuria's movement out of the corner of her eye, and offhandedly reciprocates.
  250. [00:53] <[Mode]Aileen> Still, we need to name this robot something.
  251. [00:54] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to Aileen.
  252. [00:54] <[Dune]Iniuria> mistress, may I?
  253. [00:54] <[Mode]Aileen> Since Takenaba did find it, and it's going to be serving her duties, how about... Takenaba 2? We could call her T-2 for short.
  254. [00:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Or is that too strange?
  255. [00:57] * [Dune]Iniuria takes on a slightly poutish tone.
  256. [00:57] * [kiri]Takenaba grumbles.
  257. [00:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> that works, but that's pretty impersonal~...
  258. [00:57] <[Gtz]Maidbot> I do not understand. Are you making a directive? Please assign the automaton a master access control list before assigning directives.
  259. [00:58] <[Mode]Aileen> Master access control?
  260. [00:58] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to the self-addressed automaton.
  261. [00:58] <[Mode]Aileen> Like, me?
  262. [00:58] <[Dune]Iniuria> we're trying to come up with a name for you.
  263. [00:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm not gonna ask to become the bot's master, 'cuz I know It'll be taken away anyway by certain someone.
  264. [00:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> buu buu.
  265. [00:59] * [Spi]Kosha reaches into the cutlerly draw, good thing all the different utensils are kept neat and separate to grasp for! Taking a ladel, Kosha divvies out some of her gumbo of mystery, sets a tray, and heads out to the master's bedroom
  266. [00:59] * [Spi]Kosha tap. tap. tap. tap.
  267. [01:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, anything found in the prison is my property, retroactively. Seeing as you were able to turn it on though, you're probably the one that knows how it works best.
  268. [01:03] * [Mode]Aileen looks over the automaton again.
  269. [01:03] <[Mode]Aileen> Which is why you're going to explain everything you know about it so far.
  270. [01:03] <[kiri]Takenaba> I know nothing about it, seriously.
  271. [01:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> Just stumble upon it when I do my patrol.
  272. [01:04] * [Spi]Kosha makes steady progress to the master's bedroom, tapping away as she goes. Approaching the door, which she notes is still open as the scabbard fails to make contact; she knocks to the wall to announce herself; something which she does despite the fact she can be heard coming
  273. [01:04] <[Gtz]Maidbot> The automaton has deduced that you are unfamiliar with its functions. Would you like an explanation?
  274. [01:04] <[Spi]Kosha> "Good morning, Master."
  275. [01:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> Go ahead.
  276. [01:05] * [Dune]Iniuria pipes in.
  277. [01:05] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, could you perhaps leave her to me?
  278. [01:05] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
  279. [01:05] * [Gtz]Maidbot monologues:
  280. [01:05] <[Dune]Iniuria> two of a kind after all, right?
  281. [01:05] <[Dune]Iniuria> in a way, anyway...
  282. [01:06] * [Mode]Aileen looks at Iniuria, with a bit of a quizzical expression.
  283. [01:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> Uh, and Hi Kosha.
  284. [01:06] * [Dune]Iniuria states slightly matter-of-factly
  285. [01:07] <[Dune]Iniuria> well, we're both technically artificial humans, right?
  286. [01:07] <[Gtz]Maidbot> The automaton is one of many T-850 Cyberdynamics combat platforms designed by Skyserv. However, all prior data, what a human would know as memories, have been erased from the system. There many of the automaton's functions have been replaced with human services in mind, however none of these have yet to be explored.
  287. [01:07] <[kiri]Takenaba> it might be the best solution, yep.
  288. [01:07] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, we should all know how she works, so we can all get her to work. As my maids, you're extensions of my will, and as extensions of myself, I'll be controlling her actions through you all. As well-
  289. [01:08] <[Spi]Kosha> "I have prepared your breakfast, Master. I understand no one was present to do the same?"
  290. [01:08] * [Mode]Aileen is cut off at the sound of Kosha's arrival, and is about to get on her case about being absent, until she notices the food.
  291. [01:08] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh! Service! Thank you~!
  292. [01:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well, alright. I'll call you maidbot from now on, maidbot.
  293. [01:09] <[kiri]Takenaba> or maybe just bot.
  294. [01:09] * [Mode]Aileen casually hops away from the robot situation to attend to her meal.
  295. [01:09] <[Spi]Kosha> "You don't have to say thank you, Master, it is my job afterall."
  296. [01:09] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Title "Maidbot" confirmed.
  297. [01:10] <[Gtz]Maidbot> The automaton shall now refer to itself as "Maidbot" as well as respond to the title.
  298. [01:10] <[kiri]Takenaba> jesus, I forgot. can it be erased? What if I just wrote an unreversible memory?!
  299. [01:10] * [Dune]Iniuria looks at 'maidbot', with a slight tinge of remorse.
  300. [01:10] <[kiri]Takenaba> Jesus.
  301. [01:11] * [Dune]Iniuria looks towards Takenaba next, addressing him:
  302. [01:11] <[Dune]Iniuria> she can probably accept multiple names, at the least.
  303. [01:11] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well that's good to hear!
  304. [01:11] <[Spi]Kosha> "What's going on?"
  305. [01:11] <[kiri]Takenaba> Alright, maidbot! Follow This person--
  306. [01:12] * [kiri]Takenaba points at Iniuria
  307. [01:12] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Titles, as well as other functions, can be overwritten. No one has yet to establish master privileges, so input can be taken from any subject.
  308. [01:12] <[kiri]Takenaba> ---around, and learn stuffs from her!
  309. [01:12] <[kiri]Takenaba> Whee~ I'm totally taking my responsibility here.
  310. [01:12] * [Dune]Iniuria shoots an annoyed glance at Takenaba again.
  311. [01:13] <[Gtz]Maidbot> "Stuff"? Maidbot's dictionary defines the term as being too vague to properly consider.
  312. [01:13] * [Dune]Iniuria withholds chastisement for Takenaba to care for 'maidbot'.
  313. [01:13] <[Dune]Iniuria> eh, 'stuff' basically means 'various things'.
  314. [01:14] * [Spi]Kosha sighs
  315. [01:14] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Tasks? Understood. Information saved for future reference.
  316. [01:14] <[kiri]Takenaba> Good job babysitting!
  317. [01:14] <[Spi]Kosha> "Will there be anything else, Master?"
  318. [01:15] * [kiri]Takenaba gives iniuria thumbs up!
  319. [01:15] * [Dune]Iniuria turns quickly with the initial intent to glare sharply at Takenaba for his sarcasm, but then takes it in stride.
  320. [01:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> thanks.
  321. [01:16] * [Gtz]Maidbot establishes "this person" as its new objective, and keeps close to her
  322. [01:16] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to face her charge.
  323. [01:17] <[Dune]Iniuria> here, let me introduce myself.
  324. [01:17] * [Dune]Iniuria begins to extend her hand for a handshake, but then realizes she may not yet know how to greet others.
  325. [01:17] * [Dune]Iniuria pauses, then speaks.
  326. [01:18] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, i'm Iniuria, nice to meet you.
  327. [01:18] <[Dune]Iniuria> this is how you greet someone, by the way.
  328. [01:18] * [Dune]Iniuria extends her hand fully.
  329. [01:18] <[Gtz]Maidbot> My definitions understand the gesture, however Life-Like Mode has not been established. Establish Human realism?
  330. [01:18] * [Spi]Kosha strokes the hilt of her katana absentmindedly
  331. [01:18] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, with some enthusiasm.
  332. [01:18] <[kiri]Takenaba> Lots of things to explore. Hm...
  333. [01:18] <[Dune]Iniuria> please do!
  334. [01:19] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm fine for now, Kosha.
  335. [01:20] * [Gtz]Maidbot click...whirrr. Maidbot's features appear to act much more naturally, it's body drawing breath, eyes blinking, body moving fluidly.
  336. [01:20] * [Mode]Aileen looks past the maid at the other two fussing over the robot, she turns away, then walks to the wall, taking a seat against it on the spot to finish eating.
  337. [01:21] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Human realism established.
  338. [01:21] <[Dune]Iniuria> nice to meet you, then.
  339. [01:21] * [Gtz]Maidbot 's voice is much less monotone, but there's still a hard sound to it.
  340. [01:22] <[Gtz]Maidbot> "Greetings".
  341. [01:22] * [kiri]Takenaba applause.
  342. [01:22] * [Gtz]Maidbot meets Iniuria's hand with her own, assuming it's still there to be met
  343. [01:23] <[kiri]Takenaba> That's awesome functionality and all, but did we forget something totally important?
  344. [01:23] * [kiri]Takenaba point at half-naked maidbot.
  345. [01:23] <[kiri]Takenaba> She need maintenance.
  346. [01:23] * [Dune]Iniuria it is, and she shakes the other android's hand.
  347. [01:23] * [kiri]Takenaba snickers at his stupid puns.
  348. [01:23] <[Dune]Iniuria> here, though, we should give you a better name.
  349. [01:24] <[Dune]Iniuria> 'maidbot' is just rudely impersonal.
  350. [01:24] * [Spi]Kosha turns to the assorted maids, puts her hands to her hips, and sighs irritably
  351. [01:24] * [Dune]Iniuria makes a small glance over at Takenaba.
  352. [01:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> whaaaaat.
  353. [01:24] <[Spi]Kosha> "Shouldn't you, I don't know... Do this somewhere else?"
  354. [01:25] * [Mode]Aileen finishes up the bowl rather quickly, given how hungry she had been, and pushes herself back onto her feet. She sighs contentedly and walks back over to the group of maids.
  355. [01:25] <[Mode]Aileen> Take this please.
  356. [01:25] * [Mode]Aileen holds the bowl out to the maidbot.
  357. [01:26] * [Gtz]Maidbot takes the bowl without looking, then returns it's gaze to Iniuria
  358. [01:26] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Maidbot acknowledges the term "impersonal". Is "impersonal" undesirable?
  359. [01:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> for a name, definitely.
  360. [01:27] * [Mode]Aileen snaps her fingers to draw the robot's attention.
  361. [01:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> a name defines one's self, so it has to be descriptive, and unique!
  362. [01:27] * [kiri]Takenaba yawn.
  363. [01:27] * [Dune]Iniuria becomes slightly zealous as she describes a facet of individuality.
  364. [01:27] <[Mode]Aileen> Alright then, now that I've eaten I'm in a bit of a better mood.
  365. [01:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> master's finished the meal. Geto to work. chop chop.
  366. [01:28] * [kiri]Takenaba gather the cutlery and stuffs and going to wash it.
  367. [01:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> *get
  368. [01:28] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Names do not impede my function, regardless of their descriptive quality. Nevertheless, if you wish to reassign a title, you have authority to do so. I've also taken note to be less "impersonal" with names. Shall I continue referring to myself in the first person?
  369. [01:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes, please do.
  370. [01:29] * [Dune]Iniuria notices her own hunger, and decides to pose a question towards Take to fix this.
  371. [01:29] * [Spi]Kosha shrugs and folows Takenaba
  372. [01:29] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to Takenaba for a moment.
  373. [01:29] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Acknowledged.
  374. [01:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> aren't you hungry as well?
  375. [01:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> shouldn't the rest of us eat breakfast?
  376. [01:29] <[kiri]Takenaba> well, yes. but we are servants.
  377. [01:29] * [Mode]Aileen furrows her brow a bit as she's seemingly overlooked. Some kind of system link between machines going on here?
  378. [01:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> we should go eat elsewhere.
  379. [01:30] <[Spi]Kosha> "There's more in the kitchen"
  380. [01:30] * [Spi]Kosha indicates to Takenaba
  381. [01:30] <[Mode]Aileen> Hey! Maidbot, or whatever you're calling yourself.
  382. [01:30] <[Spi]Kosha> "Even she knows that"
  383. [01:30] * [Gtz]Maidbot turns to Aileen.
  384. [01:31] * [Mode]Aileen taps the edge of the bowl.
  385. [01:32] * [Gtz]Maidbot examines the bowl, finding nothing alarming about its features. She awaits an explanation.
  386. [01:32] * [Dune]Iniuria nudges the new maid lightly.
  387. [01:32] <[Dune]Iniuria> i think she wants you to take her bowl and refill it.
  388. [01:33] <[kiri]Takenaba> whoops.
  389. [01:33] * [kiri]Takenaba put the stuffs back down.
  390. [01:33] <[Mode]Aileen> You're becoming a maid now, serving me. I expect you to be able to uphold any duties and orders given and perform them well. I will be your master, though you're going to be at the lowest order. The other maids are welcome to direct you to assist them, but only if it doesn't interfere with anything I personally ask you, understood?
  391. [01:35] <[Gtz]Maidbot> You are to be assigned master privileges, while these two are capable of giving orders that do not conflict with your own. Is this correct?
  392. [01:36] <[Mode]Aileen> There are three maids, but yeah. The only time you are to override my direct orders is in case of any situation that might pose a threat to my safety or the safety of this prison.
  393. [01:36] * [Mode]Aileen chuckles a bit.
  394. [01:37] <[Mode]Aileen> Not that anything could really threaten this place, but still.
  395. [01:37] * [Spi]Kosha coughs and blushes a little as she bites her lip; having been about to make a stroppy remark about being disincluded!
  396. [01:38] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Acknowledged. I shall know you now as the Master.
  397. [01:38] * [kiri]Takenaba making a stern face to add up the tense atmosphere for no reason.
  398. [01:39] <[Gtz]Maidbot> What are your commands?
  399. [01:39] <[Mode]Aileen> For your first task, I want you to take this bowl to the kitchen to be cleaned. Someone else can guide you there. Whoever isn't leading you to the kitchen would do best to take the time to find a new uniform for the new maid.
  400. [01:39] * [Mode]Aileen looks at everyone else gathered.
  401. [01:40] <[Mode]Aileen> Decide for yourselves who does what, I'm heading back into my room. Morning practices.
  402. [01:40] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Acknowledged. Standing by for assistance.
  403. [01:40] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks up quickly and truthfully, though she wishes to remain with the 'maidbot' and help her.
  404. [01:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, since i was doing the laundry before breakfast, i should be able to find her a uniform easily.
  405. [01:41] <[Dune]Iniuria> i'll fetch one quickly, and be right back!
  406. [01:41] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'll do the dish then. Kosha deserves some rest.
  407. [01:41] <[Spi]Kosha> "Yes, Master..."
  408. [01:41] * [Dune]Iniuria hurries off to the laundry room quickly, to complete this task.
  409. [01:41] * [Spi]Kosha looks toward Takenaba
  410. [01:42] <[Spi]Kosha> "I can make food without needing a rest, you know?"
  411. [01:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> well, duh.
  412. [01:43] <[kiri]Takenaba> Just showing gratitude here, yo.
  413. [01:43] <[Spi]Kosha> "Oh. Fine... Okay."
  414. [01:44] * [Spi]Kosha deflates a little, sighs, and begins to make her own way to the kitchen too. Hopefully she didn't leave the food on
  415. [01:44] * [Spi]Kosha tap. tap. tap. tap.
  416. [01:44] * [Gtz]Maidbot hesitates. Does the order to maintain contact with this one conflict with what she spoke of returning?
  417. [01:45] * [Dune]Iniuria , who is already down the hall and around a corner, is not present to notice the quandary.
  418. [01:47] * [kiri]Takenaba notice Maidbot's confusion.
  419. [01:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> You can choose, y'know?
  420. [01:48] * [Gtz]Maidbot looks at Takenaba, says nothing, and walks in the direction Iniuria left.
  421. [01:49] <[kiri]Takenaba> Good choice.
  422. [01:49] * [kiri]Takenaba shrugs, and continue his duty.
  423. [01:50] * [Dune]Iniuria slows as she finally reaches the laundry room, the clothes freshly laundered but still wet.
  424. [01:50] * [Mode]Aileen returns to her room, and goes about getting changed. Not that it's a very detailed procedure, more or less putting on more clothes over the shorts and t-shirt she had been wearing. She's about to set to her practices when she takes a look over at the various security monitors set up on a console along a wall. Several of the feeds are fairly blank, must be a sandstorm blowing past off the cliff.
  425. [01:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, it'll still be awhile until she can have dry clothes, then...
  426. [01:51] * [kiri]Takenaba washing the plate. No matter how clumsy he is, at least he can wash a plate.
  427. [01:52] * [Gtz]Maidbot finds Iniuria in the laundry room, and waits in expectation, bowl still in hand.
  428. [01:52] * [Dune]Iniuria then dutifully gets to loading the dryer, so that she may more quickly get clothes to the bot she plans to name Filia.
  429. [01:52] * [Dune]Iniuria 's duty keeps her back to the door, and so she does not notice the bowl-bearer there.
  430. [01:53] * [kiri]Takenaba begin to sing.
  431. [01:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Yaseiiii~ gaaaa man~ bakari de..."
  432. [01:53] * [Dune]Iniuria finishes loading the dryer, sets it, and mutters lightly to herself as she turns around.
  433. [01:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Mou-- Oretome~ Ru chikara~"
  434. [01:54] * [Spi]Kosha looks up from her food, still with her mouth full, in wide eyed deer in headlights fear
  435. [01:54] * [Mode]GM despite the conditions of the outside, one image makes it through the display monitors. A figure appears through the sandy gloom, approaching the front gates of the prison. It moves slowly, and appears to be wrapped in a large cloak, something typically seen among travellers to protect themselves from such conditions. The figure slumps to the ground suddenly, and stops moving.
  436. [01:55] * [Mode]Aileen blinks at the image on the monitor.
  437. [01:55] <[Mode]Aileen> Eh?
  438. [01:55] <[Dune]Iniuria> *sigh*, really, just because we weren't built within another shouldn't mean we're treated worse...
  439. [01:56] * [Dune]Iniuria raises her head, and notices the still-somewhat-naked maid at the door.
  440. [01:56] * [Dune]Iniuria is slightly startled.
  441. [01:56] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah-,ah, i didn't see you there!
  442. [01:57] * [Mode]Aileen watches the screen for a few more moments before she taps the screen, as if it will spur the figure to move again.
  443. [01:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> sorry to ignore you, how long were you standing there?
  444. [01:57] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Three minutes and twenty-six seconds.
  445. [01:58] * [Dune]Iniuria smacks herself lightly on the forehead.
  446. [01:58] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, sorry to leave you there.
  447. [01:59] * [Gtz]Maidbot takes note of these gestures, and writes them to her Human Realism file.
  448. [01:59] <[Gtz]Maidbot> Objectives?
  449. [02:00] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, let's wait here for now, i guess.
  450. [02:00] <[Dune]Iniuria> it'll take awhile before the dryer's done, though...
  451. [02:01] * [Gtz]Maidbot takes place next to the entrance, assuming a guard-like stance.
  452. [02:01] * [Mode]Aileen sees no more movement on the screen, and steps back. She considers just going about her practices and turns away to do so, but a nagging feeling of guilt gnaws at her. While it's typical for people to die in the wastes from exposure, to see someone collapse on camera like that... she sighs to herself, and returns to the console, finding the button next to the microphone. A squeal pierces...
  453. [02:01] * [Mode]Aileen ...through the prison.
  454. [02:01] <[Mode]Aileen> Anyone not busy or naked, it looks like someone passed out at the gates.
  455. [02:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Could someone, uh... go see if they're okay?
  456. [02:02] * [Dune]Iniuria is surprised by this announcement.
  457. [02:02] * [Spi]Kosha continues eating her food whilst Takenaba does the washing "Do you have to sing?"
  458. [02:02] * [Gtz]Maidbot turns to Iniuria, questing:
  459. [02:03] <[Gtz]Maidbot> I have determined my state to coincide with a definition of "naked", however there are many possibilities as to what the term could mean. Is Maidbot being naked to be defined as true?
  460. [02:04] <[Dune]Iniuria> u-um, yes.
  461. [02:04] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to the fellow android.
  462. [02:04] <[Dune]Iniuria> would you mind taking a more personal name for now, though?
  463. [02:04] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles slightly.
  464. [02:04] <[Dune]Iniuria> i think you deserve it.
  465. [02:04] <[Dune]Iniuria> and if you want to choose one for yourself later, you may.
  466. [02:05] <[kiri]Takenaba> Finished here. I'm going to check the front gate.
  467. [02:05] <[kiri]Takenaba> You with me?
  468. [02:06] <[Gtz]Maidbot> My name does not matter as long as it does not impede other directions or the Master's will. There is currently no restrictions on my title, if you wish to refer to me as something else, please establish such.
  469. [02:06] <[Spi]Kosha> "Why, can't you do it alone?"
  470. [02:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> And for christ's sake I need to get changed into desert gear. Not that I really need it but I don't want to go out there dressing like this.
  471. [02:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> and, duh. just asking. No harm's done, okay?
  472. [02:06] <[Spi]Kosha> "What's wrong with your dress?"
  473. [02:07] * [kiri]Takenaba blow a wind out of his nose, shrugs, and leave the room.
  474. [02:07] * [Dune]Iniuria pats a hand down on one of her charge's shoulders, facing her. No small feat, due to her own fairly short stature.
  475. [02:07] * [Dune]Iniuria then looks into her eyes.
  476. [02:07] <[Spi]Kosha> "...I. Oh."
  477. [02:08] <[Dune]Iniuria> would you go by Filia, around me, at least?
  478. [02:08] * [Spi]Kosha puts her bowl down, picks up her sword and tightens her dress
  479. [02:08] <[Spi]Kosha> "Well, someone should keep things in order."
  480. [02:08] * [kiri]Takenaba take some times to change into his desert gear and heading out to check the things mentioned.
  481. [02:08] * [Spi]Kosha hurries after Takenaba
  482. [02:08] <[Gtz]Filia> Filia confirmed as an alias.
  483. [02:09] <[Gtz]Filia> Would you like to set other definitions?
  484. [02:09] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, happily.
  485. [02:10] * [Dune]Iniuria 's stomach grumbles very loudly, and Iniuria blushes slightly.
  486. [02:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> um,i probably will later, but for now, could i ask you a few questions?
  487. [02:10] <[Gtz]Filia> Voice tone, hair, eye, skin color, perspiration, language, volume, breast size, and many more options can be defined as easily as my title.
  488. [02:10] * [kiri]Takenaba o 0 (Gotta get this deal with fast, and I'm going to grab some grub.)
  489. [02:10] <[Gtz]Filia> Ask.
  490. [02:11] * [Spi]Kosha tap. tap. tap. tap.
  491. [02:11] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, as another android...
  492. [02:11] * [kiri]Takenaba arrived at the scene, didn't notice Kosha following him.
  493. [02:11] <[Dune]Iniuria> are you a mechanical-type, or biological emulation?
  494. [02:11] <[Dune]Iniuria> basically,
  495. [02:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> do you bleed, and can you ingest organic material as sustenance?
  496. [02:12] * [Dune]Iniuria looks up expectantly.
  497. [02:13] <[Dune]Iniuria> I myself am the latter...
  498. [02:13] <[Gtz]Filia> I am originally intended to be a bio-mechanical weapons platform. Sweat, tears, blood, bad breath, anything found on a human upon inspection can be emulated. However, T-850s are fueled by a nuclear power cell, and do not require food for sustenance.
  499. [02:14] <[Mode]GM> Just outside the gates, there lies a man, wrapped in a desert cloak. He seems unconscious at a first glance, but a closer examination reveals that he is dead, with a rather large wet patch on his chest, a large wound that seems to have been made by a blade. Despite the wound, however, he's carrying several satchels of ammo, explosives and small weapons, as well as several firearms.
  500. [02:14] <[Mode]GM> In fact, it seems he died with a rather large caliber pistol in his hand, finger on the trigger at that. Whoever this man was, he wasn't a simple traveller by any means.
  501. [02:15] <[Gtz]Filia> My fuel cell will expire in ninety-four days, thirteen hours, twenty-two minutes and seventeen seconds if I continue to operate in Human Realism mode.
  502. [02:15] * [Dune]Iniuria fidgets with her skirt using her right hand, but brings up her left to bite on the thumbnail...revealing slightly abnormally large and sharp canines.
  503. [02:15] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hell yes! What a loot!
  504. [02:16] <[Spi]Kosha> "What is it?"
  505. [02:16] * [Dune]Iniuria nervously asks,
  506. [02:16] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, does your blood have organic nutritional value?
  507. [02:16] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm gonna loot this poor sod, that's why------ HOLYMOTHERSWEETOFTHEHONEYBEE!!
  508. [02:16] <[kiri]Takenaba> Don't sneak on me like that, girl!
  509. [02:17] <[Spi]Kosha> "Waaaugh?!"
  510. [02:17] * [Spi]Kosha starts backwards from the sudden shout
  511. [02:17] <[Spi]Kosha> "...you were the one who wanted help."
  512. [02:18] <[kiri]Takenaba> You said you don't wanna!
  513. [02:18] <[Gtz]Filia> my "blood" is unlike organic lifeforms, in that it is artificial. I do not require blood to sustain myself, it is merely a production from ingesting water and acids to appear more life-like.
  514. [02:18] <[Spi]Kosha> "... well, yes. But you know..."
  515. [02:18] * [Spi]Kosha turns and huffs
  516. [02:18] <[Spi]Kosha> "Someone has to make sure things are done properly. Why are you taking things from someone?"
  517. [02:19] * [Dune]Iniuria continues lightly gnawing on her nail, looking more relieved and worried at the same time, if that is possible.
  518. [02:19] <[kiri]Takenaba> Dead man doesn't need stuffs!
  519. [02:19] <[kiri]Takenaba> To stay alive, we need this! So yeah!
  520. [02:19] <[kiri]Takenaba> now open the door for me I'm dragging him in!
  521. [02:19] <[Spi]Kosha> "...oh."
  522. [02:20] <[Dune]Iniuria> v-very well, then.
  523. [02:20] <[Gtz]Filia> I have determined you seek this information for your own immediate purposes. Is this true?
  524. [02:20] <[Spi]Kosha> "But.. what if he is sick?"
  525. [02:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> Whatever! That's for later!
  526. [02:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Or are we going to leave him to the sands while there's so much to salvage? No kiddin' missy!
  527. [02:21] * [Dune]Iniuria fidgets even more, and blushes slightly.
  528. [02:21] <[Dune]Iniuria> u-umm, yes...
  529. [02:21] <[Spi]Kosha> "Well -I- don't want to get some horrible disease."
  530. [02:21] * [Dune]Iniuria turns her head away slightly to avoid Filia's direct gaze.
  531. [02:21] <[Spi]Kosha> "And why are you wearing that for? It doesn't suit you."
  532. [02:22] <[kiri]Takenaba> Pffft! There's no disease that cause someone's chest to rip and bleed like this! He's killed!
  533. [02:22] <[kiri]Takenaba> And that's totally safe!
  534. [02:22] <[kiri]Takenaba> ARGH! This dude is heavy!
  535. [02:23] <[Spi]Kosha> "You shouldn't be trying by yourself anyway, it's too much for one girl to carry a man."
  536. [02:24] * [kiri]Takenaba nearly choke on his own laughter.
  537. [02:24] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. You are trying to determine if I would be useful in acquiring sustenance for you, correct? If there's a known source of human blood, give me orders to retrieve it and I shall.
  538. [02:25] * [Dune]Iniuria quickly looks up to Filia, surprised.
  539. [02:25] <[Dune]Iniuria> -e-eh!?
  540. [02:25] <[kiri]Takenaba> Alright alright! Help me drag him and we're good to go!
  541. [02:25] <[Gtz]Filia> However, I find human blood as sustenance to be quite unusual. The only entry I have of such a case is in my Human History and Popular Culture files.
  542. [02:25] * [kiri]Takenaba o 0 (better keeping up the act.)
  543. [02:26] * [Dune]Iniuria takes on a slightly more...submissive tone.
  544. [02:26] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...you'd do that, for me?
  545. [02:26] <[Gtz]Filia> There are also organisms that feed on human blood for sustenance, but I have determined that you are none of these.
  546. [02:26] <[Gtz]Filia> Of course.
  547. [02:26] <[Spi]Kosha> "OK... but only because you asked!
  548. [02:27] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes a little more.
  549. [02:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> thank you...
  550. [02:27] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice regains some of its strength.
  551. [02:28] <[Dune]Iniuria> but i suppose i should explain to you why i require such a thing, no?
  552. [02:28] <[Gtz]Filia> Unless I have misunderstood, you require it for sustenance.
  553. [02:29] * [Gtz]Filia 's voice is still quite heavy, only changing pitch noticeably when asking questions.
  554. [02:29] * [Dune]Iniuria nods slightly, still keeping her voice barely above a whisper.
  555. [02:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> that's right.
  556. [02:29] * [kiri]Takenaba , with Kosha's help, managed to drag the dude in and shut the door.
  557. [02:30] <[Dune]Iniuria> and you were right with your other analyses as well...
  558. [02:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> Whew.
  559. [02:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> Now, for the looting.
  560. [02:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> strip the ammo cache and the explosives.
  561. [02:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> and...uh....
  562. [02:30] <[Dune]Iniuria> it's true, there aren't any popularly known cases of true vampires.
  563. [02:31] * [kiri]Takenaba strip the ammo cache and the explosives. yeah.
  564. [02:31] * [kiri]Takenaba lining up the firearms on the ground.
  565. [02:31] * [Dune]Iniuria grows even quieter.
  566. [02:31] <[Dune]Iniuria> but...i am one.
  567. [02:31] <[kiri]Takenaba> That's cool. Which one I should take... hm~ hm~
  568. [02:31] <[Spi]Kosha> "What did he have?"
  569. [02:32] <[Gtz]Filia> "Vampire" is a myth. No such creature exists. I have established that you are an automaton like I, however your Human Realism is much more advanced than my own.
  570. [02:32] <[kiri]Takenaba> Guns, guns, guns, guns, guns. And also guns. Plus some explosives.
  571. [02:32] * [Dune]Iniuria flashes a warm smile at Filia.
  572. [02:32] <[Gtz]Filia> While humans require blood, they do not consume it.
  573. [02:32] <[kiri]Takenaba> Useful with doing menial chores. like swatting a flies.
  574. [02:32] <[Dune]Iniuria> that comes in time.
  575. [02:33] <[Spi]Kosha> "Hmph, well, no wonder. If he needs guns to look after himself."
  576. [02:33] * [Dune]Iniuria , almost musing to herself,
  577. [02:33] <[Dune]Iniuria> really, the only difference between ours and humans' growth is that we start fully grown, but with infantile minds.
  578. [02:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> in reality, we're no different, but we're still treated as disposable 'commodities'...
  579. [02:34] <[kiri]Takenaba> Oh ho! Big gun!
  580. [02:34] <[kiri]Takenaba> This one's mine!
  581. [02:34] * [Mode]Aileen watching over the monitors, she sees Kosha and Takenaba drag the man in, but has no real idea what to make of the situation. Turns her attention to another monitor, showing just inside the entrance where they've both stopped. She reaches for the intercom once again, but realizes she doesn't know how to get responses back, only send messages out. Damn it, one day she's going to get around to...
  582. [02:34] * [kiri]Takenaba pry the gun out from his cold, dead hands.
  583. [02:34] * [Mode]Aileen ...figuring this out. So much for practices though, she decides to head down to see how things are going.
  584. [02:34] <[Spi]Kosha> "Why does he want to come here anyway, this is -our- place
  585. [02:34] <[Gtz]Filia> Humans, as well as machines, are equally disposable. Machines are simply more expensive.
  586. [02:34] <[Mode]GM> Despite being dead, the man's grip on his held gun is impossibly firm.
  587. [02:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> Jeez.
  588. [02:35] <[Spi]Kosha> "What?"
  589. [02:36] * [Dune]Iniuria 's expression looks distant.
  590. [02:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm trying to get this one out of his dead hand, that's what!
  591. [02:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> you've still got plenty to learn.
  592. [02:36] <[Gtz]Filia> I have filed your case as an exception to the rule, for my E-400 sensor has dictated your expressions as true, or at least what you believe to be true.
  593. [02:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> lives are valuable things, to be cherished and treasured, not spent.
  594. [02:36] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles at Filia's comment.
  595. [02:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> thanks.
  596. [02:37] <[Spi]Kosha> "Hmph, you're too weak."
  597. [02:37] * [kiri]Takenaba snort at Kosha's comment.
  598. [02:37] <[Spi]Kosha> "Want me to cut his fingers off? He doesn't really need them."
  599. [02:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> nice. Go ahead!
  600. [02:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> i hope you'll learn that as well as i have...
  601. [02:40] <[Gtz]Filia> Adaptation is the T-850's greatest ability. There is nothing we can't, in time, mimic perfectly enough to defeat the human senses.
  602. [02:40] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice sounds much, much older.
  603. [02:41] <[Dune]Iniuria> but when does the mimic end, and the true begin?
  604. [02:41] <[Gtz]Filia> To the T-850, the mimicry is truth.
  605. [02:42] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs.
  606. [02:43] * [Gtz]Filia notices Iniuria's disdain.
  607. [02:43] <[Dune]Iniuria> well, i hope to eventually show you a life beyond mimicry.
  608. [02:43] * [Spi]Kosha spins and holds her sword tight. An impossible flash of light fills the space between her and the man's hand.
  609. [02:43] * [Dune]Iniuria notices Filia's noticing her disdain, and smiles to try and show that no such disdain was intended.
  610. [02:44] <[Gtz]Filia> If this definition is not desirable, you must establish a new one. What is "truth"?
  611. [02:45] * [Dune]Iniuria continues smiling.
  612. [02:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> that is something we all have to discover for ourselves.
  613. [02:45] * [Dune]Iniuria pokes Filia in the belly button playfully, her mood lightening a little.
  614. [02:47] <[Gtz]Filia> I don't understand. If "truth" cannot be defined without observation, mimicry or direct data upload, then I would be unable to define such a term.
  615. [02:47] <[Mode]GM> The man's hand has moved. Rather than where it had been laying, it is not pointing the gun towards Kosha. His eyes are focused on her as well. There's still some life left in him!
  616. [02:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> HOLY FUCK! KOSHA! DOWN!
  617. [02:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> there's more than that, though.
  618. [02:48] <[Gtz]Filia> From my records, "truth" is what one perceives as reality. This makes the term debatable and subject to change from organism to organism. To the T-850, "truth" is simply the orders given.
  619. [02:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> there's more than that to reality, though.
  620. [02:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> there is life, and a whole universe in which to live your own.
  621. [02:50] * [Dune]Iniuria seems to glow as she speaks this, glad of being able to proclaim these things.
  622. [02:50] <[Gtz]Filia> T-850s do not live for themselves, in any sense that we "live" at all.
  623. [02:51] * [Spi]Kosha shifts her weight instantly, and draws the blade from it's sheathe just an inch, to protect her from the inevitable
  624. [02:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> then let me show you how to show yourself.
  625. [02:52] * [Dune]Iniuria looks expectantly again at Filia, hope in her eyes.
  626. [02:52] <[Mode]GM> The man rolls away and gets to a knee, clutching the wound with one hand and his gun with the other.
  627. [02:53] * [Gtz]Filia returns Iniuria's gaze, but it is little more than a cold stare.
  628. [02:56] * [Dune]Iniuria retains hope for Filia.
  629. [02:57] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles warmly at Filia.
  630. [02:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, but i suppose we've digressed a little, haven't we?
  631. [02:58] <[Dune]Iniuria> i was supposed to tell you about myself.
  632. [02:58] * [Gtz]Filia notices that she has made this gesture a multitude of times, and begins to slowly draw one of her own. a smile, that is.
  633. [02:59] <[Gtz]Filia> Yes, receiving information from the Operator would greatly increase my efficiency.
  634. [03:00] * [Dune]Iniuria retains her own happy demeanor, noticing Filia's ever so slight smile.
  635. [03:00] * [kiri]Takenaba run to the man and kick him with all his might. WHAM! Since the man is lying down, he got himself a nice kick in the head.
  636. [03:00] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, then.
  637. [03:01] <[Mode]GM> The man leans back to avoid the blow, but the kick grazes his face. He sldies backa nd scurries to his feet, levelling his pistol with Takenaba and pulling the trigger.
  638. [03:02] <[Dune]Iniuria> i was originally an experiment, to see if the vampires of legend could be reliably recreated.
  639. [03:02] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. You are modeled after the myth.
  640. [03:03] <[Spi]Kosha> "Stupid Takenaba! He's dangerous!"
  641. [03:03] <[Gtz]Filia> I, too, am modeled after a specific person, however I have no knowledge as to who it may be.
  642. [03:03] * [kiri]Takenaba is in the heat of battle and didn't hear any comment from Kosha.
  643. [03:03] <[Dune]Iniuria> is that so?
  644. [03:03] * [Mode]Aileen despite the distance between the office and the front gate being enough to not hear voices, the sound of a gunshot rings out clear enough, and Aileen panics for a moment. What was going on! Should she rush to check it out or should she run backt o her room and seal herself in there and call for help?
  645. [03:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> YOU!
  646. [03:04] * [kiri]Takenaba dive at the gunner like a rocket, pinning him on the ground, rolling.
  647. [03:05] <[Gtz]Filia> Affirmative. All T-850s designed to mimic a female human take upon this appearance, however it can be altered, as previously mentioned.
  648. [03:07] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, i suppose that makes sense.
  649. [03:07] * [Spi]Kosha sights again, stupid Takenaba, it's not her fault if she gets herself hurt.
  650. [03:08] <[Spi]Kosha> "I'll deal with this."
  651. [03:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> NO WAIT! You and your bladed weapon! We're in super-close melee range, here!
  652. [03:09] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs just for a moment.
  653. [03:09] <[Dune]Iniuria> the corporations always were after 'effeciency', after all.
  654. [03:09] <[Dune]Iniuria> anyway, though.
  655. [03:09] * [Dune]Iniuria returns to her warm demeanor.
  656. [03:11] * [Spi]Kosha runs alongside the pair, takes a short hop to the air, and drives her sword with both hands dowards to the man's shoulder
  657. [03:11] <[Spi]Kosha> "You don't even have a weapon Takenaba!"
  658. [03:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> i don't know if they modeled me from real vampires or whether those even exist at all, or if they simply guessed and built the traits from scratch,
  659. [03:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> but they got it right on the dot.
  660. [03:12] <[kiri]Takenaba> OW FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
  661. [03:13] * [kiri]Takenaba got stabbed in the process, too.
  662. [03:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> AAAAAGH!
  663. [03:13] <[Mode]GM> The blade pierces into the man, but passes through and clips Takenaba slightly, before the man wrenches himself free and staggers back, once more training his weapon on the one with the sword.
  664. [03:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> I require human, or at least biological blood to survive, and theoretically can survive on nothing else.
  665. [03:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> i can percieve various things better than many others, including most prominently my senses of smell and hearing.
  666. [03:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> i think there might be several other traits, but they seem to be latent, if they exist at all.
  667. [03:16] * [Spi]Kosha sheathes her sword "Hah. You couldn't beat the desert with those guns, and you couldn't beat a pair of girls. You're a 100 years too early!"
  668. [03:18] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. Shall I use "Vampire Mythology" as a reference point to your possible traits? Note that there are many definitions of "vampire" and none of them have a definite basis to be built upon, and I can only assume certain things within reason of the average of my information. If you wish to be more specific on "Vampire Mythology", which I shall create a file for, I encourage you to state it.
  669. [03:20] * [Dune]Iniuria pokes Filia again playfully in her belly button, while she muses,
  670. [03:21] <[Dune]Iniuria> well, i don't think there's any of that shapeshifting into a bat, or anything.
  671. [03:21] <[Dune]Iniuria> sunlight doesn't affect me in any special way, either.
  672. [03:21] <[Gtz]Filia> The latter I have observed.
  673. [03:22] <[Dune]Iniuria> nor do religious symbols inspire special fear in me, garlic repel me, or a stake of wood become any more effective against me than on anyone else.
  674. [03:22] <[kiri]Takenaba> Kuh----!
  675. [03:22] <[Dune]Iniuria> so i think most 'dracula' traits are definitely out.
  676. [03:23] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. So, would your traits more closely resemble those found in fictional vampires of the early 21st Century?
  677. [03:24] <[Dune]Iniuria> moreso, yeah.
  678. [03:24] * [kiri]Takenaba tumble, rise to his feet, and dashes forward. Planting the right foot firmly on the ground with loud boom, the floor cracks a little. Follow by the out-of-the-book Karate straight punch. The impact is loud and clear. it connects. With full force.
  679. [03:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
  680. [03:26] <[Gtz]Filia> I see.
  681. [03:35] <[Mode]GM> The hit connects, and the man is sent flying back several feet. He hits the ground and rolls over, coming to a stop face down, and leaving a slight streak of blood behind as he slides on his chest.
  682. [03:37] * [kiri]Takenaba exhale. it's as if you can see a steam coming out of his body.
  683. [03:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> Whoooh! That was close!
  684. [03:37] <[Spi]Kosha> "...I didn't think we should have taken him in."
  685. [03:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> I dunno.
  686. [03:38] * [Dune]Iniuria exhales slightly, finishing her explanation.
  687. [03:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> Better tie him up. You go get the rope or a handcuffs.
  688. [03:38] * [Dune]Iniuria then looks into Filia's eyes once more.
  689. [03:38] <[Spi]Kosha> "..."
  690. [03:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> so, do you have anything you want to ask me?
  691. [03:39] * [Spi]Kosha pulls a cloth from her sleeve and wipes down her blade, spinds it sharply, and drops it onto her scabbard, letting it sheathe itself on its own weight
  692. [03:39] <[Spi]Kosha> "Hmph!"
  693. [03:40] * [Spi]Kosha tap. tap. tap. tap. Heads toward the main building
  694. [03:41] <[kiri]Takenaba> Damn, I forgot to kick her ass for slicing my arm.
  695. [03:42] <[Gtz]Filia> My code details investigation when discovering new definitions and problems as part of the problem solving process, responding reactively, however if you wish for me to respond proactively I can add it to my objectives.
  696. [03:43] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles warmly, still gazing into Filia's eyes.
  697. [03:44] <[Dune]Iniuria> it's good for you to be your own person.
  698. [03:44] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, and then happily reponds,
  699. [03:44] <[Dune]Iniuria> please do!
  700. [03:46] <[Gtz]Filia> What you are insinuating is something I cannot do, however I acknowledge the directive to proactively seek objectives rather than simply standing by to receive them.
  701. [03:46] <[Gtz]Filia> From now on I will question not only current problems, but future ones as well.
  702. [03:48] * [Gtz]Filia looks away from Iniuria for a moment, then returns.
  703. [03:48] * [Dune]Iniuria nods again, accepting this as progress, and is happy about it.
  704. [03:48] * [Dune]Iniuria then notices Filia's glance away, and becomes curious.
  705. [03:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> mm? what is it, Filia?
  706. [03:49] <[Gtz]Filia> I am finding problems. What are you going to do about sustenance right now?
  707. [03:50] * [Mode]Aileen nearly made it to the stairs when she hears a loud shout echo through the building. Maybe now isn't such the best time to go looking for whatever is going on, and she turns and makes a beeline for her room after all.
  708. [03:50] <[Gtz]Filia> Under the Master's orders, I can assume that assisting you would also entail protection and insurance of nourishment.
  709. [03:50] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice becomes more remorseful, and her head drops.
  710. [03:50] * [Spi]Kosha continues on her way to the kitchen
  711. [03:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah yes, that...
  712. [03:51] * [Dune]Iniuria suddenly notices her now great hunger.
  713. [03:51] * [kiri]Takenaba kick the man around a bit.
  714. [03:52] <[kiri]Takenaba> Man, and you make me miss my breakfast. What the hell d'you want, Huh?
  715. [03:52] <[Dune]Iniuria> i suppose that's right.
  716. [03:55] * [Spi]Kosha tap. tap. tap. tap. Wanders in to the kitchen , neglecting to turn on the lights, and warms herself another bowl of her gumbo. That silly girl can get her own rope. Hmph.
  717. [03:56] <[Dune]Iniuria> but i don't want anyone to suffer from my...diet.
  718. [03:56] <[Gtz]Filia> Though I can provide blood that is virtually identical to that of a human being's, it lacks traits that blood would normally undergo when produced by food and chemicals ingested. Hormones and subtle differences are absent, and I have no means by which to define whether or not it is compatible as fuel for you.
  719. [03:56] <[kiri]Takenaba> That girl sure is taking long... hmm...
  720. [03:56] * [kiri]Takenaba rip the man's cloak and tie him with it.
  721. [03:58] * [Dune]Iniuria starts becoming slightly nervous and sheepish again.
  722. [03:59] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, there's a way i could test...
  723. [03:59] * [kiri]Takenaba strip the man all his weapons visible.
  724. [03:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> Damn, I totally like this gun. Where'd you get that?
  725. [03:59] <[Gtz]Filia> If the difference in blood type, cell makeup, carbon dioxide content, leukocytes, hormone balance, and oxygen content is negligible to you, I could determine that it is a compatible source of sustenance.
  726. [04:00] * [kiri]Takenaba , after looting the man and left him only his garment, throw him into a free cell and locked it.
  727. [04:01] * [Spi]Kosha nom nom nom... what was I doing~?
  728. [04:01] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well I think the princess should have the key, though. if not, tough luck!
  729. [04:01] * [Dune]Iniuria looks up again at Filia, a slight blush tinging her cheecks.
  730. [04:01] <[Gtz]Filia> If you must perform a test, do not hesitate.
  731. [04:01] <[Dune]Iniuria> um-m, do you think it w-would be suitable?
  732. [04:02] * [kiri]Takenaba head to the laundry room. It's the closest from there, and at least that two robomaid will probably be there.
  733. [04:02] * [Dune]Iniuria 's face blushes deeper at Filia's support without hesitation, and her heart begins beating a bit harder.
  734. [04:02] <[Gtz]Filia> I do not know. From what I have observed, that is the purpose of this test.
  735. [04:03] * [Dune]Iniuria realizes her foolishness in asking that question, and nervously laughs as best she can, which remains soft and short.
  736. [04:03] <[kiri]Takenaba> dum deedum~ chala lalum~ dum deedum~
  737. [04:04] <[Dune]Iniuria> haha...yes, i that seems to be so...
  738. [04:04] * [kiri]Takenaba is humming the music while fiddling with his newly-obtained guns.
  739. [04:04] <[Dune]Iniuria> u-um, could you kneel, please?
  740. [04:05] * [Gtz]Filia kneels without hesitation.
  741. [04:05] <[Dune]Iniuria> i...can't reach your neck when it's all the way up there...
  742. [04:05] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. So you wish to practice what is centric to Vampire mythology.
  743. [04:06] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes even more deeply as she moves closer, effectively sitting in her lap.
  744. [04:06] <[Dune]Iniuria> w-wwell, it is a major bloodline...
  745. [04:08] * [Dune]Iniuria sits up in Filia's lab, placing her hands on Filia's shoulders to brace herself.
  746. [04:08] <[Gtz]Filia> To a human. My "blood" merely mimics bloodflow; it is not perfectly matchable with a human being's.
  747. [04:09] * [Dune]Iniuria stammers out a weak response.
  748. [04:09] <[Dune]Iniuria> i-i know that, you've already told me...
  749. [04:09] <[Gtz]Filia> Furthermore, what you may call my bones are a solid titanium alloy construct that has no marrow to produces blood. My artificial blood is produced by other means.
  750. [04:10] <[Gtz]Filia> You seem tense. Does this worry you?
  751. [04:11] * [Dune]Iniuria swings her head to the side, blushing heavily and avoiding Filia's gaze.
  752. [04:11] <[Dune]Iniuria> u-umm-m, t-that's...
  753. [04:12] <[Gtz]Filia> Your pulse deficit has risen by twenty since you've made contact with me. If you are uncomfortable, you should give me directions to compensate.
  754. [04:13] <[Dune]Iniuria> i-it's just...
  755. [04:14] * [Dune]Iniuria squirms a bit, embarrassed.
  756. [04:14] * [Gtz]Filia traces her gaze, and begins to understand she's avoiding eye contact. She looks away.
  757. [04:15] * [Dune]Iniuria , moments later, gains a small surge of resolve, and turns her head to look directly into Filia's eyes, no more than a finger's length away.
  758. [04:15] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes no less heavily as she speaks softly to Filia:
  759. [04:15] * [Gtz]Filia is now confused; why did she look away and then seek her gaze when she left hers in return? Unusual.
  760. [04:16] * [Spi]Kosha leans back in her chair, letting her head lul over the seat. Looking upwards toward the ceiling in the dark with blank eyes, she lets out another sigh. "What to do?"
  761. [04:16] * [Dune]Iniuria 's tone hold some worry.
  762. [04:16] <[Dune]Iniuria> u-um, t-this might hurt a b-bit, o-ok?
  763. [04:16] <[Gtz]Filia> I feel no pain.
  764. [04:16] <[Dune]Iniuria> a-alright, then...
  765. [04:18] * [Dune]Iniuria slowly and carefully brings her head to rest on Filia's neck, and then brings her lips open as they contact her skin.
  766. [04:18] * [Spi]Kosha straights up, takes her bowl to the sink, and leaves it there for now. "I supose I should see what the master wantds done now..." Absentmindedly tightening her dress again, she starts to wander down to the Master's room, with no particular sense of urgency.
  767. [04:19] * [Dune]Iniuria then bites down, her teeth sinking effortlessly through the artificial skin and muscle.
  768. [04:19] * [Gtz]Filia relaxes her skin so Iniuria does not inadvertently hurt herself trying to pierce the skin.
  769. [04:19] * [Gtz]Filia was too fucking slow.
  770. [04:20] * [Gtz]Filia waits a moment.
  771. [04:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> HEY GUYS! NEWSFLASH! I'VE GOT THE-----?!
  772. [04:20] * [kiri]Takenaba walks in on the scene.
  773. [04:20] * [kiri]Takenaba halt.
  774. [04:20] * [Dune]Iniuria then begins sucking on the bite, drawing blood out and into her mouth, staining her teeth a crimson red.
  775. [04:20] * [kiri]Takenaba close the door back in.
  776. [04:21] * [kiri]Takenaba open it again, to get a clear look.
  777. [04:21] * [kiri]Takenaba close the door back.
  778. [04:22] * [Dune]Iniuria barely notices and continues feeding, lost in the senstion.
  779. [04:23] * [kiri]Takenaba peek.
  780. [04:23] * [Gtz]Filia determines the action was only a piece of information that is useless by itself. Also determines that Iniuria's function is a source of interest, at least for the one she has identified as Takenaba. She files this away in her head.
  781. [04:23] * [Dune]Iniuria as she draws more and more out, small droplets escape, falling to roll down her chin, and Leona's body.
  782. [04:25] * [Dune]Iniuria barely notices these as they crawl across *Filia's* skin.
  783. [04:25] * [Gtz]Filia waits a moment longer.
  784. [04:26] * [Dune]Iniuria draws back for a moment and stops, threads of saliva remaining behind on Filia's neck.
  785. [04:27] * [kiri]Takenaba is excited by the scene, and one word slip from his mouth.
  786. [04:27] <[kiri]Takenaba> How.
  787. [04:27] <[kiri]Takenaba> *hot
  788. [04:28] * [Dune]Iniuria licks her teeth and lips, cleaning them and making sure to savor every drop of blood.
  789. [04:28] * [Gtz]Filia decides that she has finished, and asks:
  790. [04:28] <[Gtz]Filia> What have you determined?
  791. [04:29] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks softly, a few errant drops of blood falling from her chin onto her clothes as she speaks.
  792. [04:29] * [kiri]Takenaba is glad that he's still in desert camo robe, or this rock solid soldierboy of his will blow away his cover.
  793. [04:30] * [Dune]Iniuria exhales softly, then beginning.
  794. [04:31] <[Dune]Iniuria> mm, it's good...
  795. [04:31] <[Gtz]Filia> You find it acceptable?
  796. [04:32] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes become half-lidded, in some cross between affection, care, and arousal.
  797. [04:32] <[Dune]Iniuria> it smells good, too~...
  798. [04:33] * [Dune]Iniuria limply raises her head from Filia's shoulder where it was resting, to gaze into her eyes once more.
  799. [04:33] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes, it's acceptable.
  800. [04:33] * [kiri]Takenaba curses himself that he didn't bring the video camera with him.
  801. [04:33] * [Gtz]Filia runs Smile.exe
  802. [04:34] <[Gtz]Filia> Excellent.
  803. [04:36] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles back warmly, her eyes still half-closed in ecstacy.
  804. [04:37] <[Gtz]Filia> You seem to be euphoric. Does this process affect you sexually, insofar I can assume you bear sexual hormones at all?
  805. [04:37] * [kiri]Takenaba shut the door again and sigh. 'Damn, I totally want to watch, but... this is not right. People have their own privacy.'
  806. [04:38] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles suggestively, and snuggles closer to Filia's body, embracing it.
  807. [04:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> hmm~... maybe.
  808. [04:38] * [kiri]Takenaba walk away, in hope to search for someone else and not disturbing the two.
  809. [04:38] <[Gtz]Filia> Unusual. However, it is not a problem.
  810. [04:40] * [Dune]Iniuria rests her head upon Filia's collarbone, closing her eyes.
  811. [04:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> i certainly hope not...
  812. [04:41] * [Gtz]Filia does not return her embrace, but also does not resist it. She closely examines Iniuria's movements, collecting data to store away.
  813. [04:43] * [Dune]Iniuria merely hums softly and contentedly.
  814. [04:46] * [Gtz]Filia experiments. She sits back in a way that's more comfortable to herself and Iniuria, and puts an arm around her back. She has received more than one example of this from Ini herself, and decided to determine her reaction when she poses the problem upon her herself. While Filia does not know how one is expected to react to an embrace, she thinks that practicing it on the practitioner will...
  815. [04:46] * [Gtz]Filia ...yield results.
  816. [04:46] <[Mode]GM> The worn buzzer on the dryer sounds, alerting the two present to the fact that the clothes are dry.
  817. [04:49] <[Gtz]Filia> What is that for?
  818. [04:49] * [Dune]Iniuria ignores the buzzer, and hums happily, nuzzling her head against Filia's collarbone a little and squeezing her more tightly for a moment.
  819. [04:50] * [Dune]Iniuria then slowly draws back, as though not wanting to have to do so (which is indeed what she is thinking).
  820. [04:51] * [kiri]Takenaba ... as he walks away, the wind blows, and he hums Akagi OP in the background.
  821. [04:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, that means time's up.
  822. [04:52] * [Dune]Iniuria looks into Filia's eyes one more time with a content smile upon her face, and then stands.
  823. [04:53] <[Gtz]Filia> I still have ninety-four days, twelve hours and thirty-six minutes until my time is up.
  824. [04:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> hm, you've gotten less precise~
  825. [04:54] * [Dune]Iniuria pokes Filia playfully in the shoulder, giggling slightly.

It is out here that men are made, fighting for their right to survive with each passing day against the trials that haunt their lives. They're not important, for far away from the tribulations of struggle and survival stands a large and ominous prison on a cliff, overlooking the desert wastes.
  841. [22:46] * [Mode]GM It is here we find ourselves again, joining in the life of one particularly spoiled desert princess.
  842. [22:47] * [Mode]Aileen a piercing wail echoes through the prison speakers.
  843. [22:47] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm hungry! Where's lunch!?
  844. [22:47] * [kiri]Takenaba is still walking around aimlessly when he heard the call.

  851. [22:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm here, missy!
  852. [22:52] * [Gtz]Filia acknowledges the voice as that of the Master controller, and decides it takes precedence.
  853. [22:52] <[Gtz]Filia> Iniuria.
  854. [22:52] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, standing next to Filia.
  855. [22:52] <[Dune]Iniuria> yep, let's go to the kitchen.
  856. [22:53] * [Gtz]Filia doesn't react, merely allows her to lead the way.
  857. [22:53] * [Spi]Kosha continues on her journey to the Master, her usual careful pacing to mask a general indifference to her arrival. The Master probably does want to know what happened outside. tap. tap. tap. tap.
  858. [22:54] * [Dune]Iniuria sees this, and realizes Filia probably doesn't yet know the way to the kitchen from this corner of the prison.
  859. [22:55] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles, looking at Filia and taking her hand.
  860. [22:55] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, i'll lead the way.
  861. [22:56] * [Mode]Aileen the door is left open, and she drudges over and leans on the doorframe.

  863. [22:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Take~ I'm hungry, did you bring food? I expected someone to come get me for lunch.
  864. [22:57] * [Dune]Iniuria then starts walking towards the kitchen, not letting go of Filia's hand and keeping a slight grasp on it.
  865. [22:57] <[kiri]Takenaba> Right away, Missy. Give me fifteen minutes. No, make it ten.
  866. [22:57] <[kiri]Takenaba> And I have something urgent to discuss regarding the guy out front, too.
  867. [22:58] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh! Right!
  868. [22:59] * [Mode]Aileen has completely forgotten about it already after it had passed.
  869. [22:59] <[Mode]Aileen> Was that person okay?
  870. [22:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> Nope. opposite of okay. I beat him senseless.
  871. [22:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> He attacked Kosha, so, yeah.
  872. [23:01] * [Mode]Aileen blinks for a moment.
  873. [23:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Wait, seriously?
  874. [23:02] <[Mode]Aileen> And he's still around?

  877. [23:04] <[Gtz]Filia> Question.
  878. [23:05] * [Dune]Iniuria stops and turns to face Filia.
  879. [23:05] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes?
  880. [23:05] <[Gtz]Filia> How long will you be sustained until you require further energy?
  881. [23:06] * [Dune]Iniuria , remembering the event in the laundry room, and blushes slightly.
  882. [23:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> yeah. Throw him in the jail.
  883. [23:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> I hope you have a key for him or he's screwed.
  884. [23:06] * [Dune]Iniuria still speaks, however, even due to her slight embarrassment.
  885. [23:07] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, probably until dinner, at least.
  886. [23:07] <[Dune]Iniuria> you...gave me a lot.
  887. [23:07] <[kiri]Takenaba> well then, off to kitchen I am!
  888. [23:07] <[kiri]Takenaba> I hope you have a plan for him!
  889. [23:07] * [Gtz]Filia looks distant for a moment.
  890. [23:08] * [kiri]Takenaba exit the room
  891. [23:08] <[Gtz]Filia> "Hmm".
  892. [23:08] * [Dune]Iniuria notices this, and becomes slightly concerned.
  893. [23:08] <[Mode]Aileen> Hey! Wait! Takenaba! Which cell block is he in!?
  894. [23:08] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, are you alright?
  895. [23:08] <[Gtz]Filia> My body can produce artificial blood once supplied with water, proteins, and basic minerals, though I would have to resupply often if I were to continuously sustain you.
  896. [23:09] <[kiri]Takenaba> I forgot!
  897. [23:09] * [Spi]Kosha quirks an eyebrow at hearing the call to Takenaba
  898. [23:09] * [Dune]Iniuria noticably looks worried upon hearing this, but speaks with some hope:
  899. [23:09] <[Dune]Iniuria> would eating three times a day resupply you well enough?
  900. [23:10] * [Dune]Iniuria looks into Filia's eyes, as she waits for a response.
  901. [23:10] <[Gtz]Filia> I do not eat in the same sense as a human. The water and proteins can easily be applied directly to the bloodstream using a syringe.
  902. [23:10] * [Spi]Kosha holds her katana to her chest, thumbs the metal capping on the scabbard absentmindedly and waits.
  903. [23:11] <[Gtz]Filia> My blood is unnecessary other than for seeming human. However, I do need to maintain a small amount to circulate nanomachines and repair damaged tissue.
  904. [23:12] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, but holds her gaze.
  905. [23:12] <[Gtz]Filia> No matter. As long as water and proper equipment is available, I can continue to produce blood.
  906. [23:12] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
  907. [23:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, i'm glad then.
  908. [23:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Continue.
  909. [23:13] * [Dune]Iniuria goes to turn back in the direction of the kitchen, but stops for a moment.
  910. [23:14] * [Dune]Iniuria with an inquisitive look, asks:
  911. [23:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> can you eat like a human, though? taste?
  912. [23:16] <[Gtz]Filia> I cannot ingest solid material. I can "drink" as a substitute for direct application to the bloodsteam, however it is primarily for Human Realism. T-850s very rarely require reproducing blood at all; your case is an anomaly.
  913. [23:17] * [Dune]Iniuria looks slightly crestfallen upon hearing this, but overall retains her good mood without any break in pace.
  914. [23:17] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright then, that's something.
  915. [23:19] * [Dune]Iniuria then turns fully in the direction of the kitchen and walks, still not releasing Filia's hand from hers.
  916. [23:20] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iniuria.txt Subject Iniuria requires constant production of artificial blood to sustain itself. Increase artificial bodily fluid output by 47% at cost of 13% extra fuel cell consumption.
  917. [23:25] * [Dune]Iniuria then enters the kitchen after a short walk, Filia close behind.

  921. [23:27] <[Gtz]Filia> What does the Master find most suitable for consumption?
  922. [23:27] * [kiri]Takenaba arrived at the kitchen, he pull his sleeves up, all fired up to cook!
  923. [23:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> IRON CHEF HAS ARRIVED!
  924. [23:28] * [Gtz]Filia has already began exploring cabinets and items available, taking little note of Takenaba at first.
  925. [23:28] * [Dune]Iniuria lets go of Filia's hand as she was about to move slightly ahead, to inspect the supplies.
  926. [23:28] * [Dune]Iniuria then turns to look at the new arrival, keeping Filia in her peripheral vision.
  927. [23:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> hey there, lovebirds!
  928. [23:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> oh, it's take-
  929. [23:29] <[kiri]Takenaba> Move a bit, I'm going to cook something real quick.
  930. [23:29] * [Dune]Iniuria suddenly blushes, and her heart thumps heavily.
  931. [23:29] * [Gtz]Filia turns and looks plainly at Takenaba.
  932. [23:29] * [Dune]Iniuria raises her voice in some distress:
  933. [23:29] <[Gtz]Filia> "lovebirds"? This is neither a title of I or Iniuria. What do you mean?
  934. [23:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> what?
  935. [23:29] * [kiri]Takenaba chuckles.
  936. [23:29] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'll teach ya.
  937. [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Lovebirds" is a slangs. used to refer to a couple.
  938. [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> You know what couple is, right?
  939. [23:30] <[Gtz]Filia> Two.
  940. [23:30] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes more heavily as this goes on, remaining silent out of pure embarrassment.
  941. [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> Haha. Good girl.
  942. [23:31] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ask your senior about the rest. I gotta work!
  943. [23:31] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iriuria.txt - Subject Iniuria becomes embarrassed at mention of "lovebirds". Explore further.
  944. [23:32] * [Dune]Iniuria then gains some resolve, and steps to intercept Takenaba.
  945. [23:32] * [Spi]Kosha sighs, at the traffic of people as both the Master and Takenaba pass her by. She wrings her hands around her scabbard as a subconscious support mechanism, and stands quietly for a moment in the lonely corridor
  946. [23:32] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks with a serious tone.
  947. [23:32] <[Dune]Iniuria> you saw?
  948. [23:32] <[kiri]Takenaba> I even call you, Ini. Damn.
  949. [23:33] * [Gtz]Filia looks between the two.
  950. [23:33] * [Dune]Iniuria glares straight at take, remorselessly.
  951. [23:33] <[Gtz]Filia> Is there a problem?
  952. [23:33] * [Dune]Iniuria softens her face as she turns to address Filia.
  953. [23:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> don't worry about it, i can handle this.
  954. [23:34] <[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
  955. [23:34] * [Dune]Iniuria then turns back to Takenaba, her gaze as harsh as before.
  956. [23:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> answer.
  957. [23:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> did you see?
  958. [23:34] <[kiri]Takenaba> I do.
  959. [23:34] * [Gtz]Filia resumes the meal-making process.
  960. [23:36] * [Spi]Kosha bites her lip and steels herself a momenth. "Well, at least -I- don't have to do it for them!". she thought to herself, drawing herself back up. Straightening her dress out, Kosha hefted her katana onto her shoulder, the sighed once more, defleated. "Maybe I'll go for a walk..."
  961. [23:36] * [Dune]Iniuria notes the meaning behind Take's statement.
  962. [23:37] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice now takes on a slightly remorseful tone, but her glare is still full of reprisal.
  963. [23:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> you know, then, that i can't have you telling anyone.
  964. [23:37] * [kiri]Takenaba heat the pan and pour the oil in, just enough for the task.
  965. [23:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> anything, at all.
  966. [23:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> Eh? I thought you're happy with it!
  967. [23:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> well I'm cool, whatever. Private life and all.
  968. [23:38] * [Dune]Iniuria softens a little, but remains resolute.
  969. [23:38] * [Gtz]Filia >>Servantry.txt - Culinary Arts - Combine simple ingredients to make a meal that is both generally acceptable as well as nutritious for human beings. If meal is considered a failure, delete data used to make it and develop a new formula. Save formulas deemed successful. Experiment in time.
  970. [23:38] <[Mode]Aileen> Can't tell anyone what?
  971. [23:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> thank you, and i would like it if you *didn't* tell about that,
  972. [23:38] * [kiri]Takenaba crack two eggs, and begin whipping it.
  973. [23:39] * [Mode]Aileen has arrived at the kitchen, somewhat unnanounced and relatively unnoticed, right at what could be the worst possible time.
  974. [23:39] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey, I need a hand. someone chop the leek and the onion.
  975. [23:39] <[kiri]Takenaba> Whipping eggs is serious business.
  976. [23:39] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, and lets her argument drop.
  977. [23:40] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice is still a bit tough, but she mostly acts as her normal self. Mostly.
  978. [23:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> fine, i'll help out.
  979. [23:40] * [Dune]Iniuria goes to chop the leeks.
  980. [23:42] * [kiri]Takenaba heard some familiar stuck-up-princess-ey voice.
  981. [23:43] * [kiri]Takenaba found Aileen.
  982. [23:43] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hooh boy. Right at the critical moment.
  983. [23:45] * [Gtz]Filia finds a bag of potatoes, picks a few and begins skinning them with razor-sharp precision. None of the meat is wasted.
  984. [23:47] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh, so all of you are in here cooking, but...
  985. [23:47] * [Mode]Aileen looks over the collective, doing a head count.
  986. [23:47] <[Mode]Aileen> We're missing one.
  987. [23:47] * [Spi]Kosha . o O (...'so hard. It's not fair, I even made breakfast but no one wanted my food and I try and no one cares....)
  988. [23:47] * [Gtz]Filia dices the peeled potatoes and sets them in a frying pan, starting the stove at a low temperature. She leaves them alone for a moment and finds a roll of biscuits in the refrigerator. She doles them out on a pan and begins baking them.
  989. [23:47] * [Dune]Iniuria stops chopping the leeks and onions for a moment, and looks around.
  990. [23:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> huh, that's so...
  991. [23:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Huh? Oh right. The swordie's gone.
  992. [23:50] * [Gtz]Filia also begins cooking some bacon, despite the lack of nutritional value. The Master does not seem concerned with her long-term health, so alter objective to prioritize immediate positive reactions.
  993. [23:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> Where is she?
  994. [23:51] * [Spi]Kosha . o O (...upid Takenaba could have got killed... not that I -want- thanks... jus...)
  995. [23:51] * [Gtz]Filia files away "swordie" as a reference to Subject Kosha
  996. [23:52] * [Dune]Iniuria returns to cooking, speaking as she does.
  997. [23:52] <[kiri]Takenaba> I don't know. I couldn't care less. Not a part of my job! YEARGH!
  998. [23:52] * [kiri]Takenaba throw a whipped eggs along with the ingredients into a heated pan.
  999. [23:52] * [Dune]Iniuria takes a moment to make an inquisitive glance at Takenaba, then resumes paying attention to assisting with the omelets.
  1000. [23:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'M AN IRON CHEF WOOH!
  1001. [23:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> when we finish lunch, we'll go looking for her, then?
  1002. [23:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> WHIP THIS! SPIN THAT! MAKE IT CRISPY YELLOWY GOODNESS! YEAAAAAH!
  1003. [23:53] * [Gtz]Filia >> Review>>Iniuria.txt - Examine Subject Iniuria's reaction to increased breast size. Make alterations throughout the day and night. Subject should be able to observe in twenty hours, record her reaction and determine its result.
  1004. [23:54] * [kiri]Takenaba just love fire.
  1005. [23:54] * [Gtz]Filia files away "Iron Chef" as a reference to Subject Takenaba
  1006. [23:54] * [Mode]Aileen watches Takenaba with a mixture of surprise and amusement. It's not often she actually takes time to watch her staff.
  1007. [23:55] * [kiri]Takenaba spin the finished omelette into the plate, it's not too good, not too bad. but the ingredients makes it awesomely fabulous.
  1008. [23:55] * [Dune]Iniuria doesn't share Takenaba's extreme energy and enthusiasm, but assists dutifully and skillfully anyway.
  1009. [23:56] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ah. Don't forget to put the tissue paper under it. Too much oil is bad for lady's health.
  1010. [23:56] * [Gtz]Filia finishes cooking the bacon and fried potatoes, turning the heat off and turning to Aileen, ignoring Takenaba's conduct, deeming it "nonsensical"
  1011. [23:56] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, and places two sheets under the omelet.
  1012. [23:57] <[Gtz]Filia> Master. Is there a Medical Room available?
  1013. [23:57] * [Dune]Iniuria becomes distracted and looks at Filia inquisitively.
  1014. [23:57] <[kiri]Takenaba> Yup. All's done!
  1015. [23:59] * [Spi]Kosha stops for a moment, a palid realisation krept over her self pity; she's been walking for a while now, and not really paid attention to where she's been. "... kept saying you wanted to be on your own... stupid Takenaba? Stupid Kosha..."
  1016. [00:00] * [Spi]Kosha instinctively looked left and right, as panic encouraged her to take note of surroundings she couldn't. "...stupid."
  1017. [00:00] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm, medical? Probably. Ah...
  1018. [00:00] * [Mode]Aileen leans on a clean countertop space while the food is prepared and kicks a foot against the ground in thought.
  1019. [00:01] <[Gtz]Filia> If there is no complete information on the subject, I will search out the answer as soon as my list of objectives allows.
  1020. [00:01] <[Mode]Aileen> I don't really remember the layout of this place too well. Aside from my room, the kitchen, the entrance and the outside gardens, I don't really need to know where anything else is. I leave that up t the maids to know.
  1021. [00:01] <[kiri]Takenaba> I think I saw one. At the B block. Somewhere along the east wing.
  1022. [00:02] <[kiri]Takenaba> i patrol everyday, d'oh.
  1023. [00:02] * [Gtz]Filia lays out all the food on the table. >>Note: Investigate B block prior to other sections of the prison. Also determine where B block would be located.
  1024. [00:02] <[Gtz]Filia> It is finished.
  1025. [00:05] <[kiri]Takenaba> This should go well with rice, but we have none of that luxury here, so you could settle with bread.
  1026. [00:07] * [Gtz]Filia stands aside in a manner once indicated by Iniuria, imitating a lack of control of the byproducts of respiration, blood flow, and boredom. She sways very slightly in place, trying to pop one of her fingers, although she has no joints.
  1027. [00:08] * [Spi]Kosha takes a few shallow breaths, and steps backwards to the wall, groping hands seeking a solid point of reference as she slumps down to the ground. Burying her head in her knees, Kosha wrapped her arms over her head, grit her teeth, and rubbed her fingers over the grip in reassurance
  1028. [00:08] * [kiri]Takenaba set the table with ease. Only for one set.
  1029. [00:08] * [Mode]Aileen pushes away from the counter and heads to the food, getting right to the meal at hand.
  1030. [00:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> Okay. I leave it to you here, Maidbot and Ini. I have something to do.
  1031. [00:09] * [kiri]Takenaba leave the room in a hurry.
  1032. [00:09] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles at Filia, seeing her idling like this.
  1033. [00:09] * [kiri]Takenaba starts running.
  1034. [00:10] * [kiri]Takenaba o 0 (Damn you, swordie! This place is really not the place to randomly walking around! Especially right now with some unknown person locked up inside!)
  1035. [00:11] * [Gtz]Filia >>General Process - Ini? Perhaps this is a reference to Iniuria. >>Run Prblmsve.exe... Indeed, the language would deem this as a shorthand for Subject Iniuria's title.
  1036. [00:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Another question.
  1037. [00:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Do you know the location of the armory?
  1038. [00:14] * [Dune]Iniuria , still smiling at Filia, answers.
  1039. [00:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, i think i know where it is.
  1040. [00:14] <[Gtz]Filia> Where?
  1041. [00:14] <[Dune]Iniuria> would you like me to lead you there?
  1042. [00:14] <[Gtz]Filia> Affirmative.
  1043. [00:15] * [Dune]Iniuria walks closer to Filia, to the point where she could easily reach out and touch her.
  1044. [00:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> here, follow me.
  1045. [00:15] * [Gtz]Filia doesn't move.
  1046. [00:16] * [Dune]Iniuria stops and turns around to look at Filia, speaking with concern in her voice:
  1047. [00:16] <[Dune]Iniuria> Filia? is anything wrong?
  1048. [00:16] <[Gtz]Filia> I have prioritized observing the Master's reaction to the meal over searching the Prison. Do you wish me to override this order of priority?
  1049. [00:17] * [Dune]Iniuria nods in relief, now understanding.
  1050. [00:17] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, so you want to see how she enjoys your cooking!
  1051. [00:18] <[Dune]Iniuria> we can remain here for a short while, if you wish to.
  1052. [00:19] * [Mode]Aileen overhears the maidbot as she eats, and sits back, waving her fork.
  1053. [00:20] <[Mode]Aileen> S'good! This is all so great, especially this.
  1054. [00:20] * [Mode]Aileen pokes at the potatoes still left, not very many by now.
  1055. [00:20] <[Gtz]Filia> Correct. If the Subject reacts positively to the meal, I will know more about what to make in the future. From what I have collected about the duties of human servantry, it is equivalent to human extermination in the fashion that it is redundant.
  1056. [00:21] <[Mode]Aileen> Wha?
  1057. [00:21] * [Mode]Aileen shrugs.
  1058. [00:21] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, whatever that has to do with making good food, keep it up.
  1059. [00:21] <[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
  1060. [00:22] <[Mode]Aileen> You could be well on your way to become head maid with food like this.
  1061. [00:22] * [Gtz]Filia turns back to Iniuria, and almost smiles.
  1062. [00:22] * [Gtz]Filia but then turns back to Aileen.
  1063. [00:22] * [Mode]Aileen shovels another mouthful of potatoes and bacon away, effectively finishing her meal. She kicks back in the seat and stare up at the ceiling.
  1064. [00:22] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah~ delicious. Now...
  1065. [00:23] <[Gtz]Filia> "Head maid"? I do not understand. From what I gather, this is a position of authority. I am not suited to give commands unless they are to achieve objectives.
  1066. [00:24] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, it'd be easy.
  1067. [00:24] <[Mode]Aileen> Instead of taking orders from everyone, you give them out. You'd be first to hear from me, and the one to pass on my orders to the others.
  1068. [00:25] <[Mode]Aileen> Your word would be second only to mine in this prison.
  1069. [00:25] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. I understand.
  1070. [00:26] * [Mode]Aileen sits forward again, folding her hands and resting her chin on her knuckles.
  1071. [00:27] <[Gtz]Filia> This is very unusual conduct, however. I have no data of my prior existence since this morning, but I gather that T-850s are very rarely placed above human servants in bureaucracies. Nevertheless, if the objective is given, I will meet it.
  1072. [00:27] <[Gtz]Filia> [GODDAMMIT SCRATCH THAT]
  1073. [00:28] <[Mode]Aileen> Wish I had more maids on hand like the two of you. High performance robots.
  1074. [00:28] <[Gtz]Filia> This is very unusual conduct, however. I have no data of my prior existence since 7.58 this morning, but I gather that T-850s are very rarely placed above human servants in bureaucracies. Nevertheless, if the objective is given, I will meet it.
  1075. [00:29] * [Dune]Iniuria nods at Aileen.
  1076. [00:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> thank you.
  1077. [00:29] * [Gtz]Filia returns to Iniuria.
  1078. [00:30] <[Gtz]Filia> Show me the armory.
  1079. [00:30] * [Dune]Iniuria nods at Filia, now.
  1080. [00:30] <[Dune]Iniuria> yep, let's go.
  1081. [00:30] * [Mode]Aileen gets up form the table and walks towards the exit from the kitchen.
  1082. [00:30] <[Mode]Aileen> I think I'll go play in the yard for a bit. Sandstorm has died down...
  1083. [00:32] * [Dune]Iniuria takes Filia's hand again, and walks out of the kitchen in the direction of the armory.
  1084. [00:32] * [Gtz]Filia >>MasterController.txt - Subject spending an undetermined amount of time outside. Refer to Automap.txt if knowledge of her location becomes necessary.
  1085. [00:33] <[kiri]Takenaba> HEY! KOSHA! WHERE ARE YOU! GET BACK HERE!
  1086. [00:33] <[kiri]Takenaba> WOOOOOOH!
  1087. [00:34] * [Gtz]Filia allows her hand to be taken and is led to the armory. She takes note of any doors and location entitlements along the way.
  1088. [00:35] * [Gtz]Filia runs Inquire.exe
  1089. [00:35] <[Gtz]Filia> Earlier, you had shown embarrassment when Takenaba mentioned "lovebirds". Does this term make you uncomfortable?
  1090. [00:35] * [Spi]Kosha is startled, suddenly releived and paniced and confused. She quickly wipes her face with her sleeve and gets to her knees, fumbling with her sword. "What do I do? I can't let her see me like this"...
  1091. [00:36] * [kiri]Takenaba walk around randomly until he see her fiddling with something at the far end of the hall.
  1092. [00:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey there! Where ya going! This place is not totally safe!
  1093. [00:37] * [Dune]Iniuria 's pace slows and she blushes heavily as her heart begins pumping faster.
  1094. [00:38] * [Dune]Iniuria lets go of Filia's hand, and takes a few steps further from Filia before stopping..
  1095. [00:39] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iniuria.txt - Subject Iniuria's pulse rate increases upon mention of "lovebirds". Either the term holds significance or the question itself is significant.
  1096. [00:39] * [Dune]Iniuria keeps her back turned and face down, so intensely embarrassed that she cannot face Filia.
  1097. [00:39] * [Spi]Kosha grips her sword and sqeezes her eyes tight. I... can't... but I'm scared... Kosha's thoughts are conflicted, and she turns on the spot to put her back to Takenaba as she holds back tears.
  1098. [00:39] * [Gtz]Filia stops and observes Iniuria.
  1099. [00:39] <[Gtz]Filia> What is wrong?
  1100. [00:40] * [kiri]Takenaba walk to Kosha.
  1101. [00:40] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey. What's wrong. You hurt from the battle earlier? lemme look...
  1102. [00:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> a-ah, no, nothing's wrong...
  1103. [00:41] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice is quiet, and trails off.
  1104. [00:41] <[Spi]Kosha> "wuh? Tha-... I..."
  1105. [00:41] <[Gtz]Filia> Negative. Your vocal patterns and heartrate betray your words. You have a conflict of some sort.
  1106. [00:42] * [Spi]Kosha creases, her knuckles going white and she holds her sword in a grip
  1107. [00:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey, C'mon. It's very important to take care of your wounds. This is wasteland. Things might get difficult.
  1108. [00:42] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes eaven more heavily, if that is possible.
  1109. [00:42] * [kiri]Takenaba touch Kosha's shoulder and trying to spin her to face him.
  1110. [00:43] * [Dune]Iniuria tries to bring herself to face Filia, but manages only to turn halfway, face still down.
  1111. [00:45] * [Gtz]Filia >>Iniuria.txt - Subject Iniuria does not respond positively to speaking of this subject. Offer termination and carry out the answer.
  1112. [00:45] * [Dune]Iniuria remains silent for a moment longer, but eventually speaks incredibly softly.
  1113. [00:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> um, Filia...
  1114. [00:45] * [Spi]Kosha reels back, and lets out a whimper. Tears begin to form at the corners of her eyes and her brow furrows as her inner thoughts conflict and clash. Oh the trajedy of it all. With a quickly stifled wail, Kosha burries her face in Takenaba's leg and grips on to his dress in a mess of tears
  1115. [00:45] <[Gtz]Filia> If you do not wish to tell me, then I shall override my command to search answers. However, this problem will go without question in the future.
  1116. [00:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ow-- Hey---!?
  1117. [00:47] * [Dune]Iniuria shakes her head side to side to refuse this as she manages to quickly bring her almost-entirely red face to meet Filia's eyes.
  1118. [00:47] * [kiri]Takenaba startles a bit with the sudden act.
  1119. [00:47] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks no less softly, yet somehow sounds louder,
  1120. [00:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> do you know what 'lovers' means?
  1121. [00:48] * [kiri]Takenaba sigh, and sit down. Pulling Kosha into a hug. He ruffles her hair and let her use his chest as she please.
  1122. [00:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey, C'mon now. Easy... easy.....
  1123. [00:48] * [Dune]Iniuria faces Filia straight-on, gazing into her eyes and waiting for an answer.
  1124. [00:50] <[Gtz]Filia> "Lovers" - a couple that express adoration for one another. It derives from the word "love" which is a concept, one that I am not programmed to understand.
  1125. [00:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> What's the matter, hm? Something's bugging you?
  1126. [00:52] * [Dune]Iniuria exhales softly, and then, with slightly more resolve than before:
  1127. [00:52] * [Spi]Kosha rests her head against Takenaba for a moment, shuddering gently and she attempts to compose herself. She turns away from Takenaba, still clutching, and sniffs a little
  1128. [00:52] <[Spi]Kosha> "..."
  1129. [00:53] <[kiri]Takenaba> 's cool, Kosha. if you tell me about it, you might feel better.
  1130. [00:54] <[Dune]Iniuria> 'lovers'...is basically what 'lovebirds' means.
  1131. [00:54] <[Spi]Kosha> "... I... I, ju-*snk*-just..."
  1132. [00:54] <[Gtz]Filia> We are lovers?
  1133. [00:55] * [Gtz]Filia 's expression does not change, looking only mildly inquisitive.
  1134. [00:56] * [Dune]Iniuria averts her gaze for a moment in a sudden surge of embarrassment, and her heart beats faster as she slowly brings her head back up to meet Filia's eyes once more.
  1135. [00:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> u-um, that's at least how he sees it...
  1136. [00:58] * [kiri]Takenaba hold Kosha tighter. Somehow, even Takenaba himself starts getting nervous. He shouldn't be hugging a girl at the time like this. Come to think of it, she's cute alright but.... Nah. Can't be. This is a job. Nothing personal. Yeah. At least that's what he want to think.
  1137. [00:58] <[Gtz]Filia> So "lovers" is simply Takenaba's perception?
  1138. [01:00] * [Dune]Iniuria 's head barely moves, almost wanting have to averted her gaze, but she keeps it.
  1139. [01:01] <[Dune]Iniuria> i guess, but simultaneously...
  1140. [01:03] * [Spi]Kosha slowly starts to compose herself, it's too hard to think... she doesn't want to be weak, she wants to stand on her own, but now it's like she can't... a reminder that she has to rely on others. Kosha lessens her grip and turns toward Takenaba, her eyes swell wetly somewhat by the tears. ...don't need anyone... lingers in her mind, but fear is still there.
  1141. [01:05] * [Dune]Iniuria takes a step towards Filia, never breaking the gaze into her eyes and clutching her left hand to her chest.
  1142. [01:06] * [Gtz]Filia 's gaze traces from her hands to Iniuria's eyes, expecting an explanation
  1143. [01:06] <[Dune]Iniuria> i hope you come to understand ...
  1144. [01:07] * [Dune]Iniuria takes another step closer to Filia, close enough now to reach out and touch her.
  1145. [01:08] <[Dune]Iniuria> what i have come to feel for you.
  1146. [01:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> kosha...
  1147. [01:08] <[Gtz]Filia> You have not mentioned this subject. Define it and I will work to understand.
  1148. [01:09] * [kiri]Takenaba look into that pair of eyes... Damn! this is work! Strictly business! I can't...!
  1149. [01:10] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes shine with a brightness they did not before.
  1150. [01:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...love.
  1151. [01:11] * [Gtz]Filia >>New objective: Determine nature of "love". >>Write Love.txt...
  1152. [01:12] <[Spi]Kosha> "Why.. why are.. you here?"
  1153. [01:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> looking for you, silly.
  1154. [01:13] <[Gtz]Filia> Love is a human concept that is not based upon scientific fact; it cannot be studied with a normal problem solving process. However, I have determined that concepts are within reach of my intelligence, and I shall add it to my priorities.
  1155. [01:14] * [Spi]Kosha furrows her brow, maybe she does care? It's just so...
  1156. [01:14] <[Spi]Kosha> "...you think I'm weak."
  1157. [01:14] * [Dune]Iniuria hesitates for a moment, but then takes the final step to Filia and hugs her tightly around her midsection.
  1158. [01:14] <[Gtz]Filia> The best way for me to discover love first hand is to observe and experience it. Show me what "love" is.
  1159. [01:14] <[kiri]Takenaba> That's why I'm here.
  1160. [01:14] * [kiri]Takenaba ruffles.
  1161. [01:15] * [Gtz]Filia assumes a position of comfort again, putting an arm around her back and observing her reaction. Last time, overall reaction to the gesture was positive.
  1162. [01:16] * [Dune]Iniuria purrs in comfort, and raises her head from its resting place upon Filia's body to give her a warm smile, and to look into her eyes.
  1163. [01:17] * [Spi]Kosha clenches her grip on Takenaba again, and looks down.
  1164. [01:17] * [Gtz]Filia returns the smile. Returning gestures seems to yield positive results, increase output.
  1165. [01:17] <[Spi]Kosha> "...oh"
  1166. [01:18] <[Gtz]Filia> Is this "love"?
  1167. [01:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> it's alright. No on is strong since birth.
  1168. [01:20] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles even more warmly.
  1169. [01:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm strong becuase I work for it.
  1170. [01:20] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes, this is part of it~.
  1171. [01:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Don't worry. You can be strong. just not now.
  1172. [01:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> Tkae your time....
  1173. [01:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> *take
  1174. [01:21] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice takes on a serene tone.
  1175. [01:21] <[Gtz]Filia> I see.
  1176. [01:23] * [Spi]Kosha sniffs
  1177. [01:23] <[Gtz]Filia> Love seems to be simple. If you wish me to secure the role as your "lover" then it is not a problem. However, "love" is currently conflicting with my objective to find the armory and secure weapons.
  1178. [01:23] <[Spi]Kosha> "You... you don't..."
  1179. [01:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> Easy, easy. Talk to me when you feel better.
  1180. [01:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> For now, let just stay like this.....
  1181. [01:24] * [kiri]Takenaba sigh.
  1182. [01:24] <[Spi]Kosha> "No."
  1183. [01:24] * [Spi]Kosha pushes back
  1184. [01:24] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, slightly.
  1185. [01:25] <[Spi]Kosha> "No, you don't know anything! I don't need anyone, I'm stronger!"
  1186. [01:25] <[kiri]Takenaba> Oh ho.
  1187. [01:25] <[Dune]Iniuria> Love...
  1188. [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> sheesh, you are such a troublesome little brat.
  1189. [01:26] <[Dune]Iniuria> from even this short time, i can tell you it's a lot more complex than you tink~.
  1190. [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> Strong? Try taking me down.
  1191. [01:26] * [kiri]Takenaba ready his stance.
  1192. [01:26] <[Spi]Kosha> "You?! You couldn't fight a man who was near dead!"
  1193. [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> Take me down, and I'll recognize you as a strong person.
  1194. [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> Come.
  1195. [01:26] <[Spi]Kosha> "...you're stupid Takenaba."
  1196. [01:27] <[Spi]Kosha> "...stupid"
  1197. [01:27] <[kiri]Takenaba> ... so do you, Kosha.
  1198. [01:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> it conflicts too, sometimes.
  1199. [01:27] <[Gtz]Filia> If there is more to the subject, I suggest you teach me in time, unless you find it a top priority right now.
  1200. [01:28] <[Dune]Iniuria> no, it'll take time.
  1201. [01:28] <[Dune]Iniuria> for now, let's go to the armory.
  1202. [01:28] <[Gtz]Filia> Affirmative.
  1203. [01:28] <[Spi]Kosha> "I'm not afraid of anyone who wants to hide behind guns!"
  1204. [01:28] * [Dune]Iniuria quickly is regaining her normal color and demeanor, with the exception of much greater happiness.
  1205. [01:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> let's go~!
  1206. [01:29] * [Dune]Iniuria takes Filia's hand, and semi-runs in the direction of the armory.
  1207. [01:30] * [Gtz]Filia follows at a quickened pace, and notes in her Iniuria.txt to observe reaction when precedence is taken in physical contact.
  1208. [01:34] * [Spi]Kosha screams and jumps towards Takenaba, tears streaming down her face, and swings with all her might!
  1209. [01:35] * [kiri]Takenaba whip his hand. And with a loud clank, send the swords flying, and the impact push Kosha stumble ass first to the floor.
  1210. [01:35] * [Mode]GM a short while later, the pair of androids come to the entrance to the armory. The door is in ruins, the frame mostly crumbled away, the door itself lays within the room, bearing marks of having been blown inwards by an explosion. The room within in a mess, scattered bits of metal, spent casings and loose bullets. What guns are left are either in bad repair or simply broken.
  1211. [01:36] * [Mode]GM various parts of guns lay scattered around the room, obviously resulting from whatever it was that ble win the door. None of the damage seems recent, however. It's likely that the room had been destroyed and raided long before the prison was converted into a 'mansion'.
  1212. [01:37] * [Dune]Iniuria 's pace slows to a halt as she and Filia walk inside the armory.
  1213. [01:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, here we are.
  1214. [01:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> still a mess, though.
  1215. [01:39] * [Spi]Kosha lands heavily and fails entirely to recover from the landing, tumbling ass-over-face sprawled across the floor
  1216. [01:39] <[Spi]Kosha> "Nyuuhh..."
  1217. [01:40] * [Gtz]Filia searches the room diligently, trying to identify what is still operational and what is beyond immediate repair.
  1218. [01:41] * [Dune]Iniuria sees Filia doing this, and decides to join in though she seeks ammo moreso than weaponry.
  1219. [01:41] * [Spi]Kosha gets up onto one knee, and growls under her breath
  1220. [01:41] <[kiri]Takenaba> Not good enough, Kosha.
  1221. [01:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> Give me all you got.
  1222. [01:44] <[Spi]Kosha> "hah... I was... going easy... on you!"
  1223. [01:45] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. If you expect heavy resistance from other organisms on your life, this may be insufficient.
  1224. [01:46] * [Spi]Kosha stands up, sways gently, and shifts herself to face Takenaba, tears still flow, but she puts on a steely determination
  1225. [01:46] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks while searching.
  1226. [01:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> probably, but we've got something very few else do.
  1227. [01:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> impregnable defenses.
  1228. [01:47] * [Gtz]Filia digs through a pile of junk, finding a crude weapon from the 20th century: an M79 Grenade launcher. She inspects the weapon carefully, determining that there is nothing mechanically wrong with it and that it is able to fire. She looks down the barrel from the breech, looks back to Iniuria, and smiles with half her face, forming a strange sort of smirk.
  1229. [01:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> even if an entire army arrived on our doorstep they couldn't get in unless we *let* them in.
  1230. [01:48] * [Dune]Iniuria looks back at Filia, smiling.
  1231. [01:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> that looks like it fits you.
  1232. [01:48] * [Gtz]Filia puts the weapon away in on of her long pockets, and resumes searching for ammunition.
  1233. [01:48] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. I see.
  1234. [01:50] * [Dune]Iniuria then pulls out her own weapon, an all-metal autorevolver, and idly inspects it.
  1235. [01:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> hm, tell me if you find any .44 magnum, would you?
  1236. [01:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> i haven't been able to find much, lately.
  1237. [01:50] <[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
  1238. [01:51] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
  1239. [01:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> thank you~.
  1240. [01:55] * [Gtz]Filia removes rubble to access a locker containing explosives, including many grenade shells and grenade storage equipment.
  1241. [01:55] <[Gtz]Filia> Excellent.
  1242. [01:55] * [Dune]Iniuria looks over from her own searching, and walks over to take a look.
  1243. [01:56] <[Dune]Iniuria> wow, nice find.
  1244. [01:56] * [Gtz]Filia grabs one of the cases and begins filling a belt full of the shells, until she empties the box.
  1245. [01:57] * [kiri]Takenaba brace for another impact, looking at the incoming sword to deflect it away.
  1246. [01:59] * [Spi]Kosha rushes back at Takenaba, in a stream of gushing fury, leaping into the air once again, and brings her sword down in a shining arc. However, as she leaps she turns her momentum into a spin sheathing her blade and landing beside Takenaba's block, smashing the butt of the scabard into his stomach
  1247. [02:00] * [Dune]Iniuria resumes her searching, and has difficulty finding anything.
  1248. [02:00] * [Dune]Iniuria however manages to find precisely one .44 magnum round sitting upright on a forgotten table.
  1249. [02:01] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs and grumbles, stuffing the bullet into one of her pockets.
  1250. [02:02] <[kiri]Takenaba> OSHI---!
  1251. [02:05] * [Dune]Iniuria continues searching, but becomes a tad frustrated as she only finds spent .44 magnum casings.
  1252. [02:05] * [kiri]Takenaba got blown away with some strange Shining, blinding arc. He smashed with the wall and roll down on the foor, coughing up blood.
  1253. [02:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> MNG--- So you really give it your all....
  1254. [02:06] * [Gtz]Filia finds a little ammunition of several types, and orders them on a table, placing them next to magazines and containers she identifies as compatible with that ammo type. She withholds the .44s she finds, and when she finishes sorting she presents a handful to Iniuria.
  1255. [02:06] <[Gtz]Filia> Here.
  1256. [02:06] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to Filia and sees the gift, brightening.
  1257. [02:06] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, thank you very much~!
  1258. [02:07] <[Spi]Kosha> "Inner strength. You think because I can't see that I am weak? You saw the blade and thought you knew how to beat me..."
  1259. [02:07] * [Dune]Iniuria takes them and stuffs them into a pocket, smiling.
  1260. [02:07] * [Spi]Kosha sniffs and trembles
  1261. [02:07] <[Gtz]Filia> No problem.
  1262. [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'll get real this time. Be prepared.
  1263. [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> TIEN
  1264. [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> bZAN
  1265. [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> ZAN
  1266. [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> BA
  1267. [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> XI
  1268. [02:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> CHUAN
  1269. [02:09] * [kiri]Takenaba get into his full stance.
  1270. [02:10] * [Gtz]Filia starts searching for spent ammo casings, thinking that if a reloader tool can be recovered, she can manufacture more bullets.
  1271. [02:11] * [Dune]Iniuria returns to her searching, and quickly finds some more bullets of various calibers in a small bag, and arranges them on the table as Filia has, taking the few .44 magnum rounds there for herself.
  1272. [02:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Stance set."
  1273. [02:14] * [Spi]Kosha sways gently, holding her sword limply to her side. She turns around, to face Takenaba again, and raises her haid. "I don't need you, you're the one who needs me, to proove that you're something. I can anything you throw, now."
  1274. [02:19] * [kiri]Takenaba use that move again. That move that he send a man flying. Dashing toward, he stomp the ground with a loud crunch and fires his right like a hand cannon...
  1275. [02:20] * [Mode]GM through combined efforts, some rubble is cleared away revealing several boxes of shells for various calibers. Most are empty, and crumpled, but a fair amount still contain rounds that aren't crushed or damaged. Total count of recovered bullets comes to 90 rounds of assorted ammo types, including a dozen undamaged hollow point .44 rounds.
  1276. [02:20] <[kiri]Takenaba> "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
  1277. [02:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> [LOUD BLAM]
  1278. [02:22] * [Spi]Kosha grips her sword tightly and furrows her brow
  1279. [02:27] * [Gtz]Filia attempts to reassemble a 1911, but cannot find all of its parts.
  1280. [02:29] * [Dune]Iniuria takes the special ammunition, and then sits down near Filia to try and help assemble new weapons.
  1281. [02:31] * [kiri]Takenaba hit Kosha's sword, and send her flying along with her weapon, scabbard and whatnot. She's rolling away to the far end of the hall and lying there, not moving.
  1282. [02:31] <[kiri]Takenaba> "Release."
  1283. [02:32] * [kiri]Takenaba sends a steam out of his body. It's kind of funny in this outfit, though.
  1284. [02:35] * [Dune]Iniuria sees that Filia's having trouble trying to assemble a pistol.
  1285. [02:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> here, let me help.
  1286. [02:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> argh, damn.
  1287. [02:36] * [Gtz]Filia relinquishes control over the pistol parts.
  1288. [02:37] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
  1289. [02:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> Why the hell did i bow her away at full force? damn.
  1290. [02:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> *blow
  1291. [02:37] * [Dune]Iniuria then rises and takes a look about the room, shuffling through a small pile of rubble and returning within a minute.
  1292. [02:38] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks to herself as she works on repairing it.
  1293. [02:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> it's only the slide that's broken, so...
  1294. [02:38] * [kiri]Takenaba run back and retrieve Kosha into his arms.
  1295. [02:39] * [Dune]Iniuria with a final click, the old slide has been removed and replaced with a finer one from the pile of parts.
  1296. [02:39] <[kiri]Takenaba> Sorry, Kosha. Didn't mean to. I'm not in life-and-death situation often.
  1297. [02:39] * [Gtz]Filia observes Iniuria's reparation of the firearm. She isn't entirely familiar with these older weapons.
  1298. [02:39] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks, facing Filia and handing the gun to her.
  1299. [02:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, here you are.
  1300. [02:39] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
  1301. [02:39] * [Spi]Kosha hes entirely succumbed to unconsciousness, but even in this state seems to grip tightly to her sword. To sleep, per chance to cut things
  1302. [02:40] * [Gtz]Filia draws the slide, and smiles back.
  1303. [02:40] <[Gtz]Filia> You are good at this. Have you also been programmed for combat?
  1304. [02:41] * [kiri]Takenaba sigh, and remember to apologize her later. For now, he's taking her to her quarter.
  1305. [02:42] * [Dune]Iniuria 's face shows slight surprise.
  1306. [02:42] <[Dune]Iniuria> eh?
  1307. [02:42] <[Dune]Iniuria> no, this is just one skill i've picked up over the years.
  1308. [02:42] <[Gtz]Filia> I see.
  1309. [02:43] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles warmly, and playfully pokes Filia's arm.
  1310. [02:43] <[Dune]Iniuria> i may look really young, but i'm older than i seem~.
  1311. [02:44] * [Gtz]Filia slips the weapon away behind her apron.
  1312. [02:46] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. You must have experienced many things. This is perhaps why you're so identical to human beings.
  1313. [02:46] * [Gtz]Filia says, not paying Iniuria any direct attention.
  1314. [02:48] * [Dune]Iniuria notices this but doesn't especially mind.
  1315. [02:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes, that has a good deal to do with it.
  1316. [02:49] <[Gtz]Filia> Is love one of these experiences?
  1317. [02:50] * [Gtz]Filia speaks while filling magazines with their respective type of bullets
  1318. [02:50] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes slightly again, but instead looks into Filia's eyes rather than bashfully looking away.
  1319. [02:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> as of late, i'd say yes.
  1320. [02:50] <[Gtz]Filia> As of late? What do you mean?
  1321. [02:51] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
  1322. [02:51] * [Mode]Aileen without much warning, a loud voice blares through the entrance hall.
  1323. [02:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> recently, so to say.
  1324. [02:51] <[Mode]Aileen> Hey! I found something cool!
  1325. [02:51] * [Mode]Aileen has returned, wielding a megaphone.
  1326. [02:51] <[Gtz]Filia> I understand that, however I cannot define the implications.
  1327. [02:52] * [Gtz]Filia turns away from Iniuria, distracted by the megaphone
  1328. [02:52] <[Gtz]Filia> Strange.
  1329. [02:53] * [Dune]Iniuria hears the megaphone as well, but is largely not distracted by it.
  1330. [02:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> just a little~.
  1331. [02:53] * [kiri]Takenaba shrugs. Let the robomaid take care of that. Priority is to get this little swordie to her room and nurse her back to health. He know his power. and he also know it hurts a lot.
  1332. [02:56] * [Dune]Iniuria reaches out and takes Filia's hand, trying to gain her attention.
  1333. [02:56] <[Mode]Aileen> Where is everyone?
  1334. [02:56] * [Gtz]Filia 's head turns to face Iniuria.
  1335. [02:56] * [Mode]Aileen wanders around the entrance hall, blaring her voice through the megaphone as she walks.
  1336. [02:57] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks suggestively, gazing into Filia's eyes.
  1337. [02:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> well, who's someone i've only just met recently?
  1338. [02:58] <[kiri]Takenaba> "OVER HERE, MISSY!"
  1339. [02:58] * [kiri]Takenaba waves at Aileen as she walks by.
  1340. [02:58] <[Gtz]Filia> I have no record of your first contacts because they predate my awareness.
  1341. [02:59] <[Dune]Iniuria> let's just say you're the newcome.
  1342. [02:59] * [Dune]Iniuria pokes Filia with her free right hand.
  1343. [02:59] <[Dune]Iniuria> newcomer~.
  1344. [03:00] <[Gtz]Filia> Newcomer? Is this a title suggestion?
  1345. [03:00] * [Dune]Iniuria shakes her head.
  1346. [03:00] <[Dune]Iniuria> nah.
  1347. [03:01] <[Gtz]Filia> You're insinuating I'm the one you've met most recently.
  1348. [03:01] <[Dune]Iniuria> and you are.
  1349. [03:01] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
  1350. [03:02] <[Gtz]Filia> What does that have to do with your experiences in love?
  1351. [03:02] <[Dune]Iniuria> they're basically recent.
  1352. [03:03] * [Mode]Aileen hears Takenaba, if only barely, and turns to see him.
  1353. [03:03] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh! Hey!
  1354. [03:03] * [Mode]Aileen she keeps talking through the megaphone, absentmindedly this time.
  1355. [03:03] <[kiri]Takenaba> 'sup!
  1356. [03:03] <[Mode]Aileen> Look what I found! It's like the intercom thing only I can carry it with me!
  1357. [03:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> NICE!
  1358. [03:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> You do know you have to concern about battery life, right?!
  1359. [03:05] <[kiri]Takenaba> And I THINK YOU FORGOT ABOUT THAT GUY I THROW IN THE JAIL !
  1360. [03:07] <[Gtz]Filia> I don't understand. Could you provide an example or practice?
  1361. [03:09] <[Mode]Aileen> Eh?
  1362. [03:09] * [Mode]Aileen did forget, but brushes that aside.
  1363. [03:09] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes more, but moves right next to Filia and hugs her.
  1364. [03:09] <[Mode]Aileen> He'll be fine for a day though, won't he? Besides, if he was someone dangerous I don't want to go looking for him alone, in a cell or not.
  1365. [03:10] * [Mode]Aileen is still using the megaphone, pointing directly at Takenaba.
  1366. [03:10] * [Gtz]Filia pats her back and shoulders lightly, becoming more familiar with touching.
  1367. [03:10] <[kiri]Takenaba> Alright! Cool!
  1368. [03:11] <[Gtz]Filia> Love appears to be very nonsensical. All the information provided conflicts with others.
  1369. [03:12] * [Dune]Iniuria humms slightly in comfort, and then speaks.
  1370. [03:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> hmm~, for centuries, millenia, humans have pondered just that.
  1371. [03:14] <[Gtz]Filia> I do not have centuries. I have seventy days, twenty-one hours and fifty-six minutes until I relinquish Human Realism and reenter Safe Mode.
  1372. [03:15] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice takes on new resolve.
  1373. [03:15] * [Mode]Aileen finally drops the megaphone, and spends a few seconds figuring out how to turn it off, then looks back at Takenaba.
  1374. [03:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> if i can help it, you'll be remaining longer.
  1375. [03:15] <[Mode]Aileen> So, think you can show me where you locked this guy up?
  1376. [03:16] <[kiri]Takenaba> Yeah, sure! But I need to get Kosha to her room first!
  1377. [03:16] * [kiri]Takenaba point at the unconscious girl.
  1378. [03:18] <[Gtz]Filia> Remaining beyond seventy days would mean ceasing Human Realism and operating in Safe Mode as my primary function. This would expand my projected lifespan to thirty-six years.
  1379. [03:18] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
  1380. [03:19] <[Dune]Iniuria> again, not if i can help it.
  1381. [03:19] <[Dune]Iniuria> i'm sure there's a way to recharge your power cell, or find new ones around here.
  1382. [03:21] <[Gtz]Filia> The cells do not recharge. Our power supplies are disposable. The only location I can be sure of to contain a usable power cell is within another Cyberdynamics Model 102.
  1383. [03:24] * [Dune]Iniuria then too-quickly blurts out:
  1384. [03:24] <[Dune]Iniuria> surely there's still other ways to give you power, right?
  1385. [03:25] <[Dune]Iniuria> somehow...?
  1386. [03:25] <[Gtz]Filia> All Cyberdynamics models with the T- series chips are hard-coded to defend themselves. It would not be a simple matter to acquire one. You would have to find an inactive automaton with a usable power supply.
  1387. [03:25] <[Gtz]Filia> Highly unlikely.
  1388. [03:26] * [Mode]Aileen looks down at Kosha at the indication, and steps back a bit.
  1389. [03:27] <[Mode]Aileen> What happened here?
  1390. [03:27] <[kiri]Takenaba> Lots of stuffs, missy. Come down here, I'll tell ya.
  1391. [03:27] * [Dune]Iniuria 's normally uplifted demeanor then leaves her, and her head sinks down in remorse.
  1392. [03:28] * [Gtz]Filia examines this change in temperament.
  1393. [03:28] <[Gtz]Filia> What is wrong?
  1394. [03:29] * [Dune]Iniuria is shocked enough to not notice Filia's question, though she's not even a foot away.
  1395. [03:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> is that...so?...
  1396. [03:31] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes grow distant as her pupils constrict, her breath and heartbeat slowing to below-normal levels.
  1397. [03:31] * [Gtz]Filia scrutinizes her, drawing her face very close to Iniuria's.
  1398. [03:31] <[Gtz]Filia> Is what so?
  1399. [03:32] * [Dune]Iniuria blinks once and recognizes this question, but does not visibly change except for her mouth's movement.
  1400. [03:33] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...that...your life is that short?
  1401. [03:33] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...that you ...
  1402. [03:33] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice remains at a low monotone.
  1403. [03:34] <[Gtz]Filia> A cell at full power can sustain me for 120 years at its fullest capacity. However, mine is used and damaged.
  1404. [03:34] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes glint in recognition.
  1405. [03:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...but...
  1406. [03:34] * [Mode]Aileen makes her way over to Takenaba.
  1407. [03:35] <[Dune]Iniuria> there must be some way to save you, right?
  1408. [03:35] <[Gtz]Filia> Also, I am running, writing and editing many of my processes, several in which are taxing on my CPU.
  1409. [03:37] <[Gtz]Filia> Save me? Continue operation? If I were to acquire a new fuel cell, I could sustain myself for much longer.
  1410. [03:40] * [Dune]Iniuria picks up slightly, but barely.
  1411. [03:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> then do you think we could find any, here?
  1412. [03:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> possibly, without taking them from another?
  1413. [03:40] <[Gtz]Filia> Highly unlikely.
  1414. [03:41] * [Dune]Iniuria is becoming slowly more responsive, and she slightly raises her head.
  1415. [03:41] <[Dune]Iniuria> possibly, create a new type of rechargeable cell, for you?
  1416. [03:43] <[Gtz]Filia> Highly unlikely, according to the technology level I have witnessed so far.
  1417. [03:45] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes become less distant now, and she regains the will to look into Filia's eyes.
  1418. [03:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> what if we found a place with better technology?
  1419. [03:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> then, maybe?
  1420. [03:45] <[Gtz]Filia> Perhaps.
  1421. [03:46] <[Gtz]Filia> The simplest solution would be to find an inactive automaton and relinquish its fuel cell. There's no guarantee that we may find such a case, but if it were true for myself, it may be for others as well.
  1422. [03:46] * [Dune]Iniuria , while still saddened, regains herself and gains a new resolve in her voice.
  1423. [03:47] <[Gtz]Filia> After seventy days, I will automatically enter Safe Mo'de and sustain myself for another five years.
  1424. [03:47] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, then.
  1425. [03:49] * [Dune]Iniuria stands, and glares straight into Filia's eyes, with entirely new intensity.
  1426. [03:49] <[Dune]Iniuria> i will try my best to save you, and to extend your life.
  1427. [03:51] * [Gtz]Filia considers.
  1428. [03:52] <[Gtz]Filia> Hmm. Is my current lifespan especially valuable?
  1429. [03:53] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
  1430. [03:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> to me, incredibly so.
  1431. [03:54] <[Gtz]Filia> I see. Then I shall also add acquiring a future source of energy as an objective.
  1432. [03:56] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs in relief, and hugs Filia.

  1447. 06[19:27] * [Mode]GM Afternoon in the wastelands. The long shadows that cross the land hide the deadly predators of the sands, waiting for their prey to come close before they strike a single, killing blow. This is one of the many perils faced by the common citizens of the wasteland. This isn't about them, however. Instead, we move to one particular group.
  1448. 06[19:28] * [Mode]GM A young woman, castellan of a prison-turned-fortress in this wasteland, and her group of maids. They're on a jounrey, to parts unknown. A plume of dust blows behind the large truck driving down an unknown road. Let us join them.
  1449. [19:28] <[Mode]Aileen> So boring...
  1450. 06[19:34] * [Mode]Aileen casually tosses small stones that have gathered in the bed of the covered truck out the back as the truck rumbles along.
  1451. [19:35] <[Spi]Kosha> "Are we there yet?"
  1452. [19:36] <[Mode]Aileen> I know! Right? You'd think we'd have found someone by now, or someone would have attacked us or something.
  1453. 06[19:36] * [Dune]Iniuria remains somewhat quiet, just sitting next to Filia and scanning the wastes.
  1454. 06[19:37] * [Dune]Iniuria to this, however, she pipes in.
  1455. 01[19:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> isn't it better if we don't run into anything hostile?
  1456. [19:38] <[Mode]Aileen> Even bandits have supplies, and if we kill them for their goods, no one will miss them, and we'll be all the better for it.
  1457. 06[19:39] * [Spi]Kosha grips the hilt of her sword firmly, for some reason, it just doesn't seem to feel as right anymore, but she does so all the same
  1458. [19:39] <[Spi]Kosha> "Maybe we need to draw attention to ourselves?"
  1459. [19:39] <%[Gtz]Filia> If targets are hostile, terminate with prejudice. Is this correct?
  1460. 06[19:39] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, as she turns to Filia.
  1461. 06[19:39] * %[Gtz]Filia asks, while keeping her eyes scanning the road or... whatever we're on
  1462. 01[19:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> basically.
  1463. [19:41] <[Mode]Aileen> That would be correct.
  1464. [19:41] <%[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
  1465. [19:41] <[Mode]Aileen> Though, I also expect you to attack anyone I ask you to, so don't hold reservations.
  1466. [19:42] <[Spi]Kosha> "Why couldn't Take come with us, h..she's good at this sort of thing."
  1467. 06[19:42] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to look at Kosha.
  1468. 01[19:43] <[Dune]Iniuria> your voice slowed for a moment?
  1469. [19:44] <[Mode]Aileen> Someone has to stay behind to make sure the prison stays protected. The shielding can only be shut down from the inside, if everyone leaves and the shields come on, we're screwed.
  1470. [19:44] <[Spi]Kosha> "...it's dusty out here. I'm sure it doesn't matter! She's probably making a mess anyway"
  1471. [19:44] <[Mode]Aileen> If we leave the shields down, someone could try to move in while we're out.
  1472. [19:44] <[Spi]Kosha> "...of course Master. Are you... comfortable?"
  1473. [19:44] <[Mode]Aileen> Absolutely not.
  1474. 06[19:45] * [Mode]Aileen grumbles a bit as she kicks the interior of the bed.
  1475. [19:45] <[Mode]Aileen> This truck is hardly a smooth ride, but it's better than walking.
  1476. [19:46] <[Mode]GM> A large plume of dust is visible in the distance. With the unobstructed view the wastes give, it's clear to make out a small caravan of vehicles driving slowly up ahead.
  1477. 06[19:47] * [Dune]Iniuria ignores being ignored, and turns to look at the rising cloud of dust.
  1478. 06[19:49] * [Dune]Iniuria points to the vehicles that are its source, asking:
  1479. 01[19:49] <[Dune]Iniuria> any ideas what kind of people they are?
  1480. [19:50] <[Spi]Kosha> "Desert people? Scavengers, dangerous. You should be careful around their sort. Take was... not cautious. It could have been bad... maybe."
  1481. [19:52] <%[Gtz]Filia> Approaching motorcade: 411 meters at 12 o' clock. Proceed?
  1482. 06[19:52] * [Mode]Aileen turns from the bed and looks through the front of the truck.
  1483. [19:52] <[Mode]Aileen> Yeah, looks good.
  1484. 06[19:52] * [Spi]Kosha grips her sword
  1485. 06[19:53] * [Dune]Iniuria takes on a look of very slight worry.
  1486. 01[19:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> do you think they'll be hostile?
  1487. [19:53] <%[Gtz]Filia> Likely.
  1488. 06[19:53] * [Spi]Kosha sidles along to the Master and places her helmet on
  1489. 06[19:54] * [Dune]Iniuria looks at Filia while pulling out and readying her autorevolver.
  1490. 06[19:54] * [Mode]Aileen gives a short squawk of surprise as Kosha places a helmet on her.
  1491. 01[19:54] <[Dune]Iniuria> be careful if they are, ok?
  1492. [19:54] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, thank you.
  1493. 06[19:54] * %[Gtz]Filia doesn't turn to Iniuria, but smiles
  1494. [19:54] <%[Gtz]Filia> Trust me.
  1495. [19:54] <[Mode]GM> The distance between the vehicles lessens, and soon enough a volley of automatic gunfire opens up on the approaching vehicle.
  1496. 06[19:55] * [Mode]Aileen reflexively falls back into the bed of the truck, bringing her arms over her head for a moment.
  1497. [19:55] <[Mode]Aileen> Shit shit shit!
  1498. 06[19:55] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, and smiles as well.
  1499. 06[19:55] * [Spi]Kosha places an arm over Aileen
  1500. 06[19:55] * [Dune]Iniuria gets down.
  1501. [19:56] <[Spi]Kosha> "Do not worry Master, I shall dispatch them for you."
  1502. [19:56] <[Mode]Aileen> I'd hope so!
  1503. 06[19:57] * [Spi]Kosha draws her sword with a manic glean, the blade reflecting the dying sun into her eyes. "What can I claim as your trophy today?"
  1504. 06[19:57] * %[Gtz]Filia keeps on driving, not yet given orders to do otherwise.
  1505. [19:58] <%[Gtz]Filia> Continuing further will be met with resistance. Proceed anyway?
  1506. [19:58] <[Mode]GM> The caravan vehicles all begin to accelerate while the gunfire ceases momentarily as the approaching truck carrying the Master and her servants shows no signs of stopping.
  1507. 06[19:58] * [Mode]Aileen peeks over the edge of the truck bed.
  1508. [19:59] <[Mode]Aileen> They're running, we need to take out their drivers. Keep after them. Kosha, Ini, try to take out as many of them as you can. Filia, if you can manage a shot, try to take their drivers out.
  1509. 06[19:59] * [Dune]Iniuria gets herself pumped up.
  1510. 01[19:59] <[Dune]Iniuria> alriight!
  1511. [19:59] <[Spi]Kosha> "All the vehicles in tact?"
  1512. 06[19:59] * [Mode]Aileen ducks back into the bed of the truck and snatches up her megaphone.
  1513. 06[19:59] * [Dune]Iniuria the pops up out of her cover, scanning for targets with her revolver.
  1514. [19:59] <%[Gtz]Filia> I can attempt to flip their vehicle with a grenade. Is this too dangerous?
  1515. [19:59] <[Mode]Aileen> Don't blow up the vehicles until we've gotten whatever we can out of them.
  1516. 06[20:00] * [Mode]Aileen slides to the side of the truck bed, and flicks on the megaphone, pointing it into the air.
  1517. [20:01] <[Mode]Aileen> Your supplies are forfeit! Throw down your weapons and stop your vehicles and I promise you will die quickly!
  1518. 06[20:01] * [Spi]Kosha perches on the connector of the truck "Filia, bring us up close to one, I want to hurt them."
  1519. 06[20:01] * [Spi]Kosha 's drama is somewhat ruined as she starts, panics, and falls forward onto the passanger seat due to the surprise of the megaphone
  1520. [20:07] <%[Gtz]Filia> Kosha. Jump two yards to your right in five seconds and you will be within range.
  1521. 06[20:10] * [Dune]Iniuria pops up from her slouched sitting, bringing her revolver to bear on the opposing vehicle's driver.
  1522. 01[20:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> take some of this~!
  1523. 06[20:11] * [Dune]Iniuria opens fire on the driver, hitting him twice.
  1524. 06[20:11] * [Spi]Kosha nods with a grim smile, steps up onto the headrest of the drivers seat and vaults off as the vehical swerves in. Somersaulting neatly, she smashes through the side window and rolls across the ground, taking an upwards stroke to the thigh of the nearest armed passenger
  1525. [20:13] <%[Gtz]Filia> Duck.
  1526. 06[20:13] * [Spi]Kosha , still holding her sword out from the strike, ducke her head down to her elbows
  1527. 06[20:13] * %[Gtz]Filia grabs her .45 and plugs a few rounds into the driver as Iniuria reloads. or doesn't. Or whatever.
  1528. 06[20:14] * [Dune]Iniuria ducks, not yet reloading since there are three rounds still unused in the cylinder.
  1529. [20:23] <[Mode]GM> The truck under attack swerves away for a moment, and then turns back, intent on ramming the maids truck away.
  1530. [20:31] <[Mode]GM> The ramming fails, and the trucks collide, neither giving an inch. The driver of the caravan truck, heavily injured from his sustained wounds, falls unconscious, and the truck veers off course.
  1531. [20:32] <%[Gtz]Filia> ...It appears the subject has been terminated.
  1532. 06[20:33] * [Dune]Iniuria takes advantage of this lull to reload the three spent bullets in her revolver, and smiles at Filia.
  1533. 01[20:33] <[Dune]Iniuria> of course you'd say that.
  1534. [20:34] <%[Gtz]Filia> Approach the next vehicle?
  1535. [20:38] <[Mode]Aileen> We'll be leaving behind Kosha. I think we have enough from that one truck, but they're probably carrying good stuff.
  1536. 01[20:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> we can take them down and then swing back to pick up Kosha, right?
  1537. [20:40] <[Mode]Aileen> There are still some people in that truck, she'll have to fight them alone if we leave her.
  1538. [20:40] <[Mode]Aileen> There's no telling how quickly we can take down these other guys either.
  1539. [20:41] <%[Gtz]Filia> I see. Change course and return to the caravan?
  1540. 06[20:43] * [Mode]Aileen looks back over the edge of the truck at the other car.
  1541. [20:43] <[Mode]Aileen> Let them go for now, we got what we need at least.
  1542. [20:44] <%[Gtz]Filia> Understood.
  1543. 06[20:44] * %[Gtz]Filia slows down and changes gears, making a wide U-turn returning to the caravan.
  1544. [20:46] <[Mode]GM> The passengers in the back open fire in unison on Kosha, currently alone facing the two of them.
  1545. 06[20:48] * [Spi]Kosha draws herself to height after regaining her balance from the bumpy ride, and grins sadistically as jumps aside upon hearing the men turn around to shoot her
  1546. 06[20:59] * [Spi]Kosha points toward the goon on the left, and leans backward
  1547. 06[21:01] * %[Gtz]Filia pulls up to the side of the caravan, driver's side facing.
  1548. 06[21:01] * [Spi]Kosha shifts her footing and leaps into the air once more, driving her blade into the shoulder of the goon on the right with mercilles force
  1549. [21:03] <[Mode]GM> The blade bites deep, and the man falls to the floor of the truck lifelessly.
  1550. [21:04] <[Mode]GM> The passenger in the cab of the truck gets frustrated with the door being stuck, and simply climbs through the window, needing to get to the back of the truck to aid his comrades.
  1551. 06[21:06] * %[Gtz]Filia stops the truck, and hops out, readying her gun and leaving the door open for Iniuria
  1552. 06[21:06] * [Dune]Iniuria Iniuria climbs over to the driver's seat, and takes aim at the other opposing combatant in the back of their truck.
  1553. [21:07] <%[Gtz]Filia> Get down.
  1554. 06[21:08] * %[Gtz]Filia plugs Mr. Guy a few times. Inuiria does too, and it's pretty awesome. She'll tell you all about it.
  1555. [21:08] <[Spi]Kosha> "You got the over vehical?
  1556. 06[21:08] * [Dune]Iniuria Iniuria takes another two shots from her revolver, perforating Mr. Guy along with Filia's M1911 gunfire.
  1557. [21:08] <%[Gtz]Filia> Affirmative. Move to the left.
  1558. [21:09] <[Spi]Kosha> "I don't need your help! Get the rest!"
  1559. [21:18] <[Mode]GM> Once again, frustrated with the turn of events, the two gunmen open fire on the lone woman, though one of the two men takes gunfire from behind as Iniuria and Filia open up on them after their arrival.
  1560. 06[21:19] * [Spi]Kosha cuts her sword outwards from the impaled man, severing his torso in a vicious gore. As the bullets from the maids strike home, she flicks her sword expertly to blind the lefthand goon with the blood of his fallen comrade.
  1561. [21:19] <[Spi]Kosha> "Hmph."
  1562. 06[21:27] * [Spi]Kosha turns on her heel and in one movement, both cuts across the torso of the remaining goon, causing him to stumble to the open rear of the truck, and sheathes her sword so that she can climb into the driver seat of the careening vehical
  1563. 06[21:30] * %[Gtz]Filia shoots the motherfucker dead. Kosha and Iniuria fuck his shit up too.
  1564. 06[21:34] * [Dune]Iniuria crawls out of the car and hops to the ground, the battle over.
  1565. [21:34] <%[Gtz]Filia> Terminated. All hostiles down. Battle proficiency: 100%.
  1566. 06[21:34] * [Dune]Iniuria then just turns and smiles at Filia, in response to her comment.
  1567. 06[21:35] * [Spi]Kosha notices the Vehical has stopped, and instead , fumbles around in the cargo to find something to present to the Master
  1568. [21:35] <[Mode]GM> With all the caravan guards dead, the stopped supply truck comes to a stop. In the back are several dozen boxes of various goods and supplies, along with one fairly large box.
  1569. 06[21:36] * [Spi]Kosha fumbles with the large box!
  1570. 06[21:36] * [Dune]Iniuria walks over to the truck, turning around to Filia and Aileen:
  1571. 01[21:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> hey, let's see what we've got!
  1572. 06[21:37] * %[Gtz]Filia reloads her weapon, and searches the corpses for weapons and ammunition. Perhaps a free MILITARY UNIFORM?
  1573. [21:37] <[Mode]GM> In her haphazard fumbling, Kosha fumbles the lid off, to reveal a humanoid figure in plain clothes. Looks to be some kind of android, currently looks to be off.
  1574. 06[21:37] * [Dune]Iniuria turns around to the truck, stops, and gasps.
  1575. 06[21:38] * [Spi]Kosha withdraws at the initial touch of what would seem to be a corpse, but on further groping inspection, would seem to be another android unit.
  1576. 06[21:38] * [Spi]Kosha sighs. But, at least she knows the master will appreciate it.
  1577. 01[21:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> Kosha! Don't mess with it!
  1578. 06[21:38] * [Dune]Iniuria sprints over to the truck and enters, running up to the large box.
  1579. 06[21:39] * [Spi]Kosha hefts the android up unceremoniously into a seated position, ignoring Iniuria
  1580. [21:39] <[Spi]Kosha> "Master! I have something you will like!"
  1581. 06[21:41] * %[Gtz]Filia begins procuring stuff. whatever
  1582. 06[21:49] * [Spi]Kosha lays the android back down in the box carefully, reseals it, and hefts it bodily upon her back
  1583. 06[21:50] * [Dune]Iniuria begins moving the newly-regained supplies, but she also tries her best to keep an eye on the large box...
  1584. [21:51] <[Mode]Aileen> You found something Kosha?
  1585. 06[21:53] * [Spi]Kosha strains a little as she jumps down from the truck "yes... Master...". She hefts the box upon the Maid's vehical, and slides it toward Aileen before pulling herself up.
  1586. 06[21:55] * [Spi]Kosha crawls on all fours up to the master, sits upon her knees, and reclaims her helm, attempting a friendly smile which is rather all the worse for the gore that it has since played host to
  1587. [21:55] <[Spi]Kosha> [upon kosha's knees.. not aileen's]
  1588. [21:56] <[Mode]Aileen> What is it?
  1589. 06[21:56] * [Mode]Aileen prods at the box with the megaphone.
  1590. [21:56] <[Mode]Aileen> Kind of big, some kind of weapon?
  1591. 06[21:56] * [Dune]Iniuria stops loading the supplies for a moment and pipes in:
  1592. 06[21:56] * [Dune]Iniuria gravely, she speaks:
  1593. 01[21:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> if it's another terminator model.
  1594. [21:57] <[Spi]Kosha> "A what?"
  1595. 06[21:58] * [Dune]Iniuria walks over to the large box.
  1596. [21:58] <[Mode]Aileen> Probably some kind of model or something. Maybe Ini needs spare parts.
  1597. 06[21:59] * [Dune]Iniuria glares at Aileen.
  1598. [21:59] <[Mode]Aileen> I know I get sand in all sorts of unnecessary places, I can't imagine how it would be for an android.
  1599. [21:59] <[Spi]Kosha> I didn't want to take it out of the box because of the sand
  1600. 06[22:00] * [Dune]Iniuria remains annoyed, but responds to Aileen:
  1601. 01[22:00] <[Dune]Iniuria> hmph.
  1602. 01[22:01] <[Dune]Iniuria> no more than any other human.
  1603. [22:01] <[Spi]Kosha> "We should get back to the Prison, Takenaba..."
  1604. 06[22:02] * [Mode]Aileen leans back in the bed of the truck, idly playing with the megaphone, causing more screeches than anything.
  1605. [22:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Yeah. Help with the loading. Clean the truck out, siphon the gas, and if you think it's necessary, strip engine parts.
  1606. 06[22:03] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, and then gets back to work.
  1607. 01[22:03] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes, mistress.
  1608. [22:04] <[Spi]Kosha> "...yes Master. Are you hungry?"
  1609. 06[22:05] * [Mode]Aileen rubs her stomach idly. It's been a while since lunch, and supplies were sort of bare to begin with.
  1610. [22:05] <[Mode]Aileen> Kinda, yeah.
  1611. 06[22:06] * [Spi]Kosha bows shallowly, and jumps off the truck back to where the cargo unloading, exchanging a glance with Iniuria as she avoids doing some work for a while
  1612. 06[22:07] * [Dune]Iniuria 's own stomach grumbles slightly as she works to transfer the newly-captured supplies, noticing her own hunger.
  1613. 06[22:12] * [Spi]Kosha picks her way through some of the rations by hand, using the embossed print to navigate her way to something resembling appetizing
  1614. [22:12] <[Spi]Kosha> "Do you really use parts from other androids?"
  1615. 06[22:12] * [Dune]Iniuria then notices the corpses of the assailants, afterwards turning to Kosha.
  1616. 01[22:13] <[Dune]Iniuria> uh, not often, no.
  1617. 06[22:14] * [Dune]Iniuria avoids Kosha's glance as she lies.
  1618. [22:16] <[Spi]Kosha> "...Oh."
  1619. 06[22:16] * [Spi]Kosha tries to think of something to say, but can't find the words that want to be expressed
  1620. 06[22:18] * [Spi]Kosha sighs
  1621. [22:19] <[Spi]Kosha> "...Why, where you androids made?"
  1622. 06[22:19] * [Dune]Iniuria was slightly distracted as she stared at the fallen's blood open across the sand, but Kosha's comment catches her attention.
  1623. 06[22:20] * [Dune]Iniuria turns around, a curious sound in her voice.
  1624. 01[22:20] <[Dune]Iniuria> What?
  1625. 06[22:20] * [Spi]Kosha points over the food, to at the box on the maid's truck
  1626. [22:21] <[Spi]Kosha> "You said that it might be a terminator. That sounds like.... like my katana, was made to fight with..."
  1627. 06[22:21] * [Mode]Aileen her boredom growing, she leans back over the box and pries the lid off partially, looking in at the inactive android. Not satisfied with just looking, she reaches her hand in and starts idly playing with the android's features.
  1628. [22:22] <[Mode]Aileen> Something has to start this thing up.
  1629. 06[22:24] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs.
  1630. 01[22:24] <[Dune]Iniuria> people have created so many things to destroy one another...
  1631. 06[22:24] * [Dune]Iniuria idly draws her revolver, and begins looking at it.
  1632. 06[22:25] * [Dune]Iniuria then brightens up.
  1633. 06[22:25] * [Dune]Iniuria facing Kosha, she happily states:
  1634. 01[22:26] <[Dune]Iniuria> but it's ultimately what you do with them that decides how they are.
  1635. 01[22:26] <[Dune]Iniuria> To kill indiscriminately? To slay one that another hates?
  1636. 06[22:26] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice grows slightly softer, and her voice takes on a small measure of reverence.
  1637. 01[22:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> Or to protect those you care about?
  1638. [22:27] <[Spi]Kosha> "You are a weapon?"
  1639. 06[22:29] * [Dune]Iniuria looks straight at Kosha, and smiles.
  1640. 01[22:29] <[Dune]Iniuria> No, no i'm not.
  1641. 06[22:29] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice changes to musing.
  1642. 01[22:30] <[Dune]Iniuria> While i don't know whether i was intended to be...
  1643. 06[22:30] * [Dune]Iniuria 's voice then regains its strength, proudly proclaiming:
  1644. 01[22:30] <[Dune]Iniuria> I am my own person.
  1645. 06[22:31] * [Spi]Kosha sits quietly for a moment, continuing her work on the meal
  1646. 06[22:31] * [Spi]Kosha after a while she draws her blade
  1647. 06[22:32] * [Spi]Kosha examines it, quizzically, with no real ceremony
  1648. [22:33] <[Spi]Kosha> "My sword can only kill at my command, it does not think for itself. Would it chose to do so if it could, or to be a weapon? Is a sword, ever really not a sword?"
  1649. 06[22:44] * [Spi]Kosha sheathes her swords, finishes up the meagre lunch, and hops up on the truck as the last of the cargo is looted
  1650. [22:45] <[Spi]Kosha> "I hope Take found something to eat..."
  1651. 06[22:45] * [Dune]Iniuria turns to address Kosha.
  1652. 01[22:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> Those swords have a long history with you, don't they?
  1653. [22:46] <[Spi]Kosha> "..."
  1654. 06[22:48] * [Dune]Iniuria walks up to Kosha, and thinks to pat her shoulder, but she then realizes she's too short.
  1655. 01[22:49] <[Dune]Iniuria> just remember that weapons have always been created with two sides of the same coin in mind.
  1656. 01[22:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> Hate...
  1657. 01[22:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> and what we all seek for happiness.
  1658. [22:51] <[Spi]Kosha> "... let's go home."
  1659. 06[22:52] * [Dune]Iniuria notices her hunger again, and turns her head to glance at the blood around the corpses again.
  1660. 06[22:52] * [Dune]Iniuria chews her lip a little and fidgets with her skirt.
  1661. 01[22:53] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, i don't suppose we could wait for five minutes?
  1662. 06[22:55] * [Mode]Aileen gives up on the box, pushing the lid closed, and looks out of the truck again.
  1663. [22:55] <[Mode]Aileen> Are we done yet? It's hot out here and I want to take a bath!
  1664. 06[22:55] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, all fidgeting ceasing.
  1665. 01[22:55] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright, let's go.
  1666. [22:57] <[Spi]Kosha> "Yes Master, I made you some food... there is only dry rations."
  1667. 06[23:01] * [Mode]Aileen grimaces a bit.
  1668. [23:01] <[Mode]Aileen> That's it? Well, it'll do I guess.
  1669. [23:18] <[Mode]GM> The supplies loaded, the maid-filled truck rumbles to a start and rolls away from the scene, leading the bodies and vehicle abandoned to their fate in the wastelands. The travel back to the prison doesn't take much longer, as within forty minutes, the truck pulls back up to the entrance gates of the large prison.
  1670. 06[23:19] * [kiri]Takenaba is patrolling. A cup of instant noodle in his hand. sluuuuurp.
  1671. 06[23:22] * [Mode]Aileen picks up the megaphone.
  1672. [23:22] <[Mode]Aileen> Takenaba! Let us in, we're back!
  1673. 06[23:23] * [kiri]Takenaba jumps in surprise.
  1674. [23:23] <[kiri]Takenaba> Woah woah! A'ight!
  1675. 06[23:23] * [kiri]Takenaba scurry off to the gate control panel, and make way for the group to enter. beep.
  1676. [23:25] <[Spi]Kosha> "Takenaba!~"
  1677. [23:25] <[Mode]GM> The truck rolls through the gate and enters the lot. It comes to a stop near the front doors of the prison, and the maids disembark to unload the new haul of cargo.
  1678. 06[23:27] * [Dune]Iniuria grunts as she has difficulty bearing the weight of some of the cargo, but she sees Kosha's reaction to seeing Takenaba and just smiles, continuing with her work.
  1679. [23:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> so how's things?
  1680. 06[23:29] * [kiri]Takenaba come to assist. He ask Aileen while ruffling Kosha's hair.
  1681. [23:29] <[Spi]Kosha> "Hey!"
  1682. 06[23:29] * [Spi]Kosha scowls at Takenaba
  1683. [23:29] <[Spi]Kosha> "You're stupid Take!
  1684. [23:30] <[Mode]Aileen> Frantic. The idiots shot at us again, so we had to kill them all. Well, not all of them.
  1685. [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hah. my friends tell me that a lot.
  1686. 06[23:30] * [Mode]Aileen hops out of the truck by sliding through a hole in the covering at the side. She stops for a second to free the megaphone that got caught in the fabric.
  1687. [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> well duh. Wasteland is crazy places.
  1688. [23:30] <[Mode]Aileen> I wish they would just peacefully surrender for once. I might be able to hire them on as- Oh!
  1689. [23:30] <[Spi]Kosha> "Yeah... well... I'm not your friend, so there! And I killed two people Take~ they had guns too, what do you think of that?"
  1690. [23:30] <[Mode]Aileen> That's right!
  1691. 06[23:31] * [Mode]Aileen runs back around to the back of the truck, and pats the large box.
  1692. [23:31] <[Mode]Aileen> We did pick up another robot!
  1693. [23:31] <[kiri]Takenaba> Haaaah?
  1694. 06[23:31] * [Dune]Iniuria glances over at Takenaba and Kosha.
  1695. [23:31] <[kiri]Takenaba> Is this a robot-picking festival?!
  1696. 06[23:32] * [Spi]Kosha pouts
  1697. [23:32] <[Spi]Kosha> "...AND I jumped onto the truck, whilst it was driving!"
  1698. 06[23:32] * [kiri]Takenaba ruffle Kosha more.
  1699. [23:32] <[kiri]Takenaba> Yeah, yeah. You're good, tough girl!
  1700. 06[23:32] * [Spi]Kosha blushes
  1701. [23:32] <[Spi]Kosha> "...stupid takenaba~"
  1702. [23:33] <[kiri]Takenaba> Let's unload stuffs.
  1703. 06[23:34] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles at the couple, but is simultaneously annoyed and calls out to them:
  1704. 06[23:34] * [kiri]Takenaba carry that large crate by himself. It's too heavy for a girl.
  1705. 01[23:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> hey, will you two please help with all this? I can't get it on my own~!
  1706. [23:34] <[Spi]Kosha> "I carried that one too! I found it!"
  1707. [23:34] <[Spi]Kosha> "Hmph! Okay, but only because you're not as strong as me!"
  1708. [23:34] <[kiri]Takenaba> Roger that Ini.
  1709. 06[23:35] * [Spi]Kosha rushes passed Take to carry things
  1710. 06[23:35] * [kiri]Takenaba grab Kosha's collar.
  1711. [23:35] <[Spi]Kosha> "NYK!"
  1712. [23:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey you. Go help master with stuffs.
  1713. [23:35] <[Spi]Kosha> "..."
  1714. [23:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> let me handle the heavy musclework.
  1715. [23:35] <[Spi]Kosha> "...k"
  1716. 06[23:36] * [Spi]Kosha scowls some more and kicks a stone
  1717. [23:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ini, can you pile up these rations in the kitchen? I'm taking care of ammo crate and guns.
  1718. 06[23:37] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, both in relief and annoyance as she sets down the ammo crate she was trying to carry.
  1719. 06[23:37] * [Spi]Kosha shuffles over to Aileen churlishly, still blushing
  1720. [23:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> Yo, missy. Where should I park this truck?
  1721. 01[23:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, thank you,
  1722. 06[23:37] * [Mode]Aileen wanders away from the truck, heading into the prison facility. After being out in that sand and heat, she needs to soak.
  1723. 01[23:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> but would you please stop calling me 'ini'?
  1724. 06[23:38] * [Spi]Kosha picks up a little after Aileen
  1725. [23:38] <[Mode]Aileen> Put it somewhere out of the way. It's still sandy out there, and anything can get worn out just by being out there.
  1726. [23:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> It's shorter and easy to remember.
  1727. [23:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> A'ight, missy. Parking it in the main hall then.
  1728. 06[23:39] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs again.
  1729. [23:39] <[Spi]Kosha> "Master! Take is unloading and she said I should help you with things because she's to stupid to handle important things and so she's just lifting things with Iniuria and Filia and... and..."
  1730. 01[23:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, fine.
  1731. [23:39] <[Spi]Kosha> "What do you want, Master?"
  1732. 06[23:40] * [Mode]Aileen stops for a second and turns around, looking at Kosha.
  1733. [23:40] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, I could use with a set set of clothes brought up to my room. I'm going straight for a bath, so...
  1734. 06[23:41] * [kiri]Takenaba shove all the heavy stuffs back into the truck. Unload it later while inside the premise is easier.
  1735. [23:41] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey! Idea!
  1736. 06[23:41] * [Dune]Iniuria glances over at Takenaba.
  1737. [23:41] <[kiri]Takenaba> You go wash her back or something, Kosha!
  1738. 06[23:41] * [Spi]Kosha looks over toward Takenaba lifting heavy things, and bites her lip "...stupid" she thinks to herself
  1739. 06[23:42] * [Dune]Iniuria gets back to work, minding the food she and Filia have unloaded and moving it to the kitchen.
  1740. [23:42] <[Mode]Aileen> If it makes you feel better, tell Takenaba I told her not to be such a musclehead and let you help. I'm going now. Have my clothes up in my room whenever.
  1741. [23:42] <[Spi]Kosha> "I... uh. Yes, Master."
  1742. 06[23:42] * [kiri]Takenaba talk to Filia a bit, and leave her with Iniuria, like usual.
  1743. 06[23:43] * [Mode]Aileen turns away again and heads for her room, removing the outer layer of clothing and leaving behind a thin dusting of loose sand as she does so.
  1744. 06[23:44] * [Spi]Kosha pulls at he armour, and looks down her collar...Hot, and sand, and blood... the Master has a point
  1745. 06[23:45] * [Spi]Kosha grips the hilt of her katana, and wrings her hands around it a bit to collect her thoughts
  1746. 06[23:46] * [Spi]Kosha sighs
  1747. 06[23:47] * [Spi]Kosha wanders off to see if things have been unloaded to the store room and kitchen. tap. tap. tap. tap.
  1748. [23:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> ARGH. AAaaaaaand.... done.
  1749. 06[23:48] * [kiri]Takenaba unload the last batch of guns into the armory.
  1750. [23:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> Whew. Got myself some sweat, yo.
  1751. [23:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> Should go checking out Ini. Damn, I feel bad I left a lady to do a man's job.
  1752. 06[23:51] * [kiri]Takenaba head to the kitchen.
  1753. 06[23:55] * [Spi]Kosha tap. tap. tap. tap.
  1754. 06[00:05] * [Spi]Kosha arrives at the kitchen and takes up her usual seat, for when she hasn't quite got to doing as she is told, at the table
  1755. 06[00:06] * [Dune]Iniuria notices Kosha, and speaks to her while still stocking the shelves.
  1756. 01[00:06] <[Dune]Iniuria> Hello again, Kosha.
  1757. 01[00:06] <[Dune]Iniuria> The mistress's bath ready, yet?
  1758. [00:07] <[Spi]Kosha> "... she wants clean clothes sent to her room."
  1759. 01[00:09] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah.
  1760. 06[00:09] * [Dune]Iniuria temporarily halts her work, turning to face Kosha.
  1761. 01[00:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> taking a little break after returning, then?
  1762. 06[00:11] * [Spi]Kosha has a quizzical expression for a moment, before remembering the general structure of things
  1763. [00:11] <[Spi]Kosha> "...I wonder what she wants to wear."
  1764. 06[00:14] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs, and then turns back to stocking the fridge and lower cabinets.
  1765. 06[00:16] * [Spi]Kosha sighs heavily at the lack of Take, and heads off down the way to laundry

  1779. [21:55] * [Mode]GM Night in the wastelands, a time when everyone is careful to watch their backs. More people disappear into the darkness than anything else, never to be seen again. This is a harsh fact of life that all have come to deal with in this unforgiving badland they're forced to live in. Everyone, except those that matter. This is about them, not about the harshness of the wilds for the peasantry.

  1781. [21:54] <[Dune]Iniuria> Filia~!
  1782. [21:54] * [Dune]Iniuria is beaming, happy to see the Terminator-maid again.
  1783. [21:56] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm hungry, you guys!
  1784. [21:56] * [Mode]Aileen her voice bellows through the prison PA system once again, happy to have such a convenient tool at her disposal. All she has to do is sit and wait for a response.
  1785. [21:58] * [kiri]Takenaba grumbles. He's doing his daily bodybuilding routine in his room, with only his boxers on.
  1786. [21:58] * [Gtz]Filia acknowledges Iniuria with a glance, Before heeding the call of the Master.
  1787. [21:58] <[kiri]Takenaba> Gah! I hate this new toy of hers!
  1788. [22:00] * [kiri]Takenaba grab his showering gear and rush to the nearest shower room. Trying to stay hidden from the fellow meido's eyes.
  1789. [22:00] * [Dune]Iniuria rushes up to Filia and walks beside her, so that she can help preform her duties (and just walk beside her).
  1790. [22:04] * [Gtz]Filia simply goes to the kitchen and begins preparing dinner. If the Master is already there, all the better. If she is not, surely she will detect the scent and quickly arrive to have it.
  1791. [22:04] * [Mode]Aileen sits back on the beaten up chair positioned nearby, and kicks off the console, spinning herself around in the chair to pass the time. After a couple rotations, she notices something strange on the security monitors, and catches herself.
  1792. [22:05] * [Mode]GM the monitors show a lone figure milling around outside the complex, within the exterior gates, but still outside of the building proper. It's not unusual to see someone around the front of this large building, but within the perimeter?
  1793. [22:06] * [kiri]Takenaba take a quick shower while humming "Kung-fu fighting".
  1794. [22:06] * [Dune]Iniuria starts quietly helping with dinner, fetching cooking utensils and ingredients from lower cabinets and shelves to give to aid Filia.
  1795. [22:06] * [Mode]Aileen picks up the PA mic once again and clicks it on, the buzz from the speakers filling the air.
  1796. [22:06] <[Mode]Aileen> Someone's inside the fence. Anyone free, go look into that, will you?
  1797. [22:07] * [Gtz]Filia looks to Iniuria.
  1798. [22:07] * [Dune]Iniuria looks to Filia.
  1799. [22:07] * [kiri]Takenaba dressed in his (oh god damn I hate these) maid outfit.
  1800. [22:08] <[Gtz]Filia> Wait here.
  1801. [22:08] * [Gtz]Filia turns, but before leaving, says:
  1802. [22:08] <[Gtz]Filia> I'll be back.
  1803. [22:09] * [Dune]Iniuria is a tiny bit surprised by Filia's suddenness and is also slightly worried, but nods and consents...reluctantly.
  1804. [22:10] * [Mode]Aileen her duty complete so far, she stands up from the chair and stretches. As much as she loves the easy life around here, she can't spend all the day sitting around, she's got important business to take care of, like making sure everyone else is fulfilling her wishes to the letter.
  1805. [22:10] * [kiri]Takenaba runs along to the front gate. fulfilling the duty to the letter.
  1806. [22:10] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks one comment before letting Filia depart, however:
  1807. [22:10] <[Dune]Iniuria> ...Come back safe, alright?
  1808. [22:11] * [kiri]Takenaba arrives at the door, but looks into the surveillance camera first to identify the guest.
  1809. [22:11] * [Mode]Aileen also has the intention of scoping out the recent haul of goods and appropriating anything of value as first pick. With the prospect of new treasure on her mind, she skips out of her room and heads towards the storage room the load was stored away in.
  1810. [22:13] * [Tesla]Alexia is wandering around, observing the building while moving about in front of it.
  1811. [22:13] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm, there was an android in that box, wasn't there? Maybe I should start her up and have her help out around here...
  1812. [22:13] * [Gtz]Filia looks back for a moment, before leaving at a brisk pace. She arms herself with the AK-74 they relinquished earlier, as well as keeping a M1911 in her apron pocket and a M79 slung over her shoulder. Locked and loaded.
  1813. [22:14] * [Mode]GM the security display shows a woman wandering around slightly within the front area of the prioson perimeter. Aside from these basic bits of information, it's too dark to make out anything more.
  1814. [22:15] <[kiri]Takenaba> Duh? Woman? at night? Not a good sign.
  1815. [22:16] * [kiri]Takenaba place his hand on his revolver. And use his left hand to slightly opens the door.
  1816. [22:16] <[kiri]Takenaba> Anything you need?
  1817. [22:17] * [Gtz]Filia arrives at the scene, pupils faintly red in the failing light.
  1818. [22:17] * [Dune]Iniuria continues working on dinner, still worried a bit and fidgeting with her large ribbon.
  1819. [22:18] * [Tesla]Alexia notices the second person, and moves around a corner to get a closer look while remaining unseen.
  1820. [22:20] * [Mode]Aileen eventually reaches the storeroom and pushes the door open, busted bolt doens't really help it much, but it's not like anyone can really get into this place. Well... aside from whoever that was on the monitor... Well, they should be able to deal with it. She clicks on the light for the room and walks over to the large box housing the android they picked up earlier and pulls the lid open.
  1821. [22:20] * [Tesla]Alexia then notices the third, and her hand inches to the back of her dress. Probably not best, but just in case.
  1822. [22:20] <[Mode]Aileen> Now then... how would I turn this thing on...
  1823. [22:21] * [Gtz]Filia speaks to Takenaba.
  1824. [22:21] <[Gtz]Filia> Where is the problem?
  1825. [22:22] * [huh]Reliqua doesn't seem too helpful.
  1826. [22:23] * [Mode]Aileen looks over the front of the thing to see if there's any clear way to turn it on. Come to think of it, Filia is something like a robot, right? Iniuria too. How did they get activated? Or, Ini was already active, but Filia? Ah man...
  1827. [22:24] * [Mode]Aileen through her fidgeting, Aileen nearly causes the entire box to fall over, but she catches it and by extension, keeps the inactive android from falling flat on her inactive face.
  1828. [22:24] <[Mode]Aileen> Whoo, hate to break this thing before it gets powered up...
  1829. [22:24] <[kiri]Takenaba> I dunno. Just see someone out there. Or rather, 'something'. Should go take a look.
  1830. [22:25] * [Dune]Iniuria continues cooking dinner, managing to do so with the assistance of a stool. So far, things seem to be going alright although the meal probably won't be anything godly good.
  1831. [22:26] * [Dune]Iniuria 's cooking isn't terrible, though, and so it should still be at least a little tasty.
  1832. [22:28] * [Gtz]Filia steps out to look, without any sort of mortal fear.
  1833. [22:30] * [kiri]Takenaba pull out his colt python, one-handed. Like a fucking Saeba Ryo.
  1834. [22:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> Gotchaback.
  1835. [22:30] * [Mode]Aileen toys with the inactive android a bit more, ultimately getting frustrated with lack of progress. Things like this should come with a manual, seriously. She steps up to the android and grabs it's head, shaking it slightly, or as slightly as her human arms can move stiff robotics.
  1836. [22:30] <[Mode]Aileen> Turn on already!
  1837. [22:31] * [Gtz]Filia 's eyes flare bright red, momentarily, before the entire eye burns white, acting as a sort of flashlight for the vision-dependent Operator in the vicinity. Filia casts this light on Alexia, and quickly raises her gun, ready to shoot at the slightest gesture.
  1838. [22:32] * [kiri]Takenaba follows Filia, covering her flank and look for another intruder, if any.
  1839. [22:32] <[Gtz]Filia> Intruder. Identify yourself, or be terminated.
  1840. [22:33] * [Tesla]Alexia is momentarily blinded and doesn't move, stunned.
  1841. [22:33] <[kiri]Takenaba> DOWN ON THE GROUND! HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!
  1842. [22:34] * [Tesla]Alexia , after looking away for a couple seconds, composes herself, and then rests herself on her knees while putting her hands behind her head. She smiles.
  1843. [22:35] <[Tesla]Alexia> So, do you want my name, what I'm doing here, or my profession?
  1844. [22:35] * [Dune]Iniuria continues with her cooking, but her mind keeps partially with the new intruder... Hopefully things aren't going badly.
  1845. [22:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> Sorry. No time for chitchat. Gotta do my work, hon.
  1846. [22:36] * [Gtz]Filia tones it down, but stays mechanically serious
  1847. [22:38] * [huh]Reliqua seems to respond to the voice. Deep inside, a mechanical whirring begins. Gears still for centuries shake off their torpor and jump to life. Circuits flow with electricity, switches move, and motors begin their toil. Reliqua's head slowly directs itself toward Aileen.
  1848. [22:38] * [kiri]Takenaba push Alexia on the ground, face first. And restraint both her arms with that straps-like thingy cops love to use on the suspect.
  1849. [22:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> Done.
  1850. [22:39] * [Gtz]Filia tones down her eye-beam-thingies too, but still bright enough to give visibility. She looks to Takenaba.
  1851. [22:40] * [Mode]Aileen stumbles back in surprise at the sudden activity.
  1852. [22:40] <[Mode]Aileen> Whoa!
  1853. [22:40] <[Mode]Aileen> Hey! It does work!
  1854. [22:40] * [Tesla]Alexia moves her head to the side, and looks at Takenaba before taking a look around.
  1855. [22:40] * [huh]Reliqua takes hold of the sides of her crate, and stands herself up. Looking at Aileen, she asks in a calm tone,
  1856. [22:40] <[Gtz]Filia> Restraint is unnecessary. Procuring dangerous weapons, however, should be taken care of before bringing her into the prison.
  1857. [22:40] <[huh]Reliqua> Are you my master?
  1858. [22:40] * [Dune]Iniuria continues going about her business of readying dinner alone, and sets the table for three.
  1859. [22:42] <[Tesla]Alexia> Ufufu~. Okay, you got me. Now, you want me to answer questions or stay put and be quiet?
  1860. [22:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well, We should get inside first.
  1861. [22:42] * [kiri]Takenaba looks around.
  1862. [22:42] <[kiri]Takenaba> You alone?
  1863. [22:42] <[Gtz]Filia> She is.
  1864. [22:43] <[kiri]Takenaba> I guess you do have a motion scanner? just askin'.
  1865. [22:44] * [kiri]Takenaba pull Alexia up from the ground. Still positioning himself behind her back, gun pointing.
  1866. [22:48] * [Mode]Aileen looks up at the now active android.
  1867. [22:48] <[Mode]Aileen> Uh, yeah, that'd be me. I'm the master of this place.
  1868. [22:49] <[Gtz]Filia> Are we to take her inside? My original command was to terminate all intruders. Shall this one be an exception?
  1869. [22:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'll take her in. Monitor for any more intruder in the vicinity, Fil.
  1870. [22:50] * [huh]Reliqua bows, fully.
  1871. [22:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> and, sorry. You heard me so giddy up and move. Choo choo.
  1872. [22:50] * [kiri]Takenaba use his gun to poke Alexis' side.
  1873. [22:51] * [Tesla]Alexia , who had been eying Filia, turns back to look at Takenaba.
  1874. [22:51] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, where's the door?
  1875. [22:52] * [kiri]Takenaba just sigh, and drag Alexia inside. Leaving Filia behind to scan the area.
  1876. [22:52] <[huh]Reliqua> I am a domicile care and management ancillary machine. Reliqua, is my name. It's nice to meet you.
  1877. [22:54] <[Mode]Aileen> Uh, yeah, nice to meet you too. Reliqua you say your name is?
  1878. [22:56] <[huh]Reliqua> Reliqua, yes.
  1879. [22:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Yeah...
  1880. [22:57] * [Mode]Aileen puffs herself up a bit, trying to look more composed than she had been.
  1881. [22:57] * [huh]Reliqua nods, her eyes flickering, then suddenly collapses.
  1882. [22:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Right then, since you seem to get the basics of- What.
  1883. [22:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Aw come on, don't tell me she's junk after all!
  1884. [22:58] * [kiri]Takenaba , before getting inside, yell at Filia.
  1885. [22:59] <[huh]Reliqua> I-I'm sorry, I- ....where am I?
  1886. [22:59] * [huh]Reliqua looks around from the floor.
  1887. [22:59] <[kiri]Takenaba> Get back inside when you're done, 'kay?!
  1888. [22:59] <[Tesla]Alexia> Aw, come on, you're mussing up my shoes. Can't I walk or something?
  1889. [23:00] <[Mode]Aileen> Uh, you're at the Alan Marcus Max security prison. My maids and I found you during an... expedition and brought you back.
  1890. [23:00] <[huh]Reliqua> They... they shut me off then.
  1891. [23:01] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ey, sure. Lighten my load a little.
  1892. [23:01] * [huh]Reliqua rises and assumes a kneeling position.
  1893. [23:01] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, uh, yeah? I'd suppose they'd have to have to store you up in a box.
  1894. [23:01] <[huh]Reliqua> I'm in your debt, then. Thank you for saving me.
  1895. [23:01] * [Mode]Aileen smiles a bit.
  1896. [23:01] * [kiri]Takenaba just let Alexia walk, but still leave her arms restrained.
  1897. [23:01] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah ha, no problem! Just part of the life, y'know.
  1898. [23:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Something valuable like an android in the wasteland is a pretty big find, couldn't just let you get hauled away to wherever those guys were headed.
  1899. [23:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Especially if it's still in working condition.
  1900. [23:02] * [kiri]Takenaba leads his prisoner (?) to the warden's room where Aileen should be.
  1901. [23:03] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ey, missy! You got a visitor!
  1902. [23:03] * [kiri]Takenaba knocks the door, but no reply.
  1903. [23:03] <[kiri]Takenaba> gee.
  1904. [23:04] * [Mode]Aileen kneels down a little, to get closer to the same level Reliqua is at.
  1905. [23:04] * [kiri]Takenaba just walk inside.
  1906. [23:04] <[Mode]Aileen> Like I was saying though, you're a house keeper, right? You think you can help up keeping things running around here?
  1907. [23:04] * [huh]Reliqua nods.
  1908. [23:04] <[huh]Reliqua> Naturally.
  1909. [23:04] * [Mode]Aileen smiles.
  1910. [23:05] <[Mode]Aileen> Good, I should probably get someone to help show you around, but I didn't think to bring my loudspeaker, so come on, I'll show you where my room is. You should at least know where to find that first, you'll be heading there a lot I'd figure.
  1911. [23:06] * [huh]Reliqua nods, and lets Aileen lead the way.
  1912. [23:07] * [Mode]Aileen heads out of the storeroom and retraces her steps, heading along back to the wardens office she uses as her quarters.
  1913. [23:07] * [kiri]Takenaba messing around the console, until he find something microphone-like.
  1914. [23:07] * [kiri]Takenaba press the broadcast switch.
  1915. [23:07] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hello hello one two threee..... testing testing.....
  1916. [23:08] <[Mode]Aileen> By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Aileen Marcus, I'm something like a descendant of the found- Whah!
  1917. [23:08] * [Mode]Aileen is surprised by the sudden activation of the PA system.
  1918. [23:08] <[Mode]Aileen> Agh, someone's messing around in my room!
  1919. [23:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> You're needed in the warden room, missy! We got a visitor!
  1920. [23:09] * [Mode]Aileen breaks into a jog now, intent on closing the distance as quick as possible.
  1921. [23:09] * [kiri]Takenaba release the button and smirk.
  1922. [23:09] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well that was nifty!
  1923. [23:10] * [huh]Reliqua follows, increasing her pace to keep up with Aileen.
  1924. [23:11] * [Mode]Aileen a few seconds later, she reaches her room, the door still open, and finds Takenaba within, with someone unknown.
  1925. [23:11] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, so it was you, and who is this?
  1926. [23:11] <[Tesla]Alexia> Tada!!!
  1927. [23:11] * [kiri]Takenaba just shrugs.
  1928. [23:11] * [Tesla]Alexia grins, standing tall.
  1929. [23:11] * [Mode]Aileen quirks a brow at the unknown person.
  1930. [23:11] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm guessing you were the one that was screwing around outside?
  1931. [23:11] <[kiri]Takenaba> Someone. She's snooping around, yeah.
  1932. [23:12] * [huh]Reliqua peeks in.
  1933. [23:12] <[Mode]Aileen> So many new faces around here lately...
  1934. [23:12] <[kiri]Takenaba> What about yours?
  1935. [23:12] * [kiri]Takenaba nods at the newcomer.
  1936. [23:12] <[Mode]Aileen> Eh?
  1937. [23:12] * [Mode]Aileen looks back at Reliqua at the door.
  1938. [23:12] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh, that's a new bot, we picked her up from today's raid.
  1939. [23:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> Doho, new bot.
  1940. [23:13] * [huh]Reliqua bows politely.
  1941. [23:13] <[Mode]Aileen> I activated her somehow, so she's all good to go.
  1942. [23:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> Now we need a couple of mad scientist and we could take over the world.
  1943. [23:13] * [Mode]Aileen laughs a bit, and waves her hand around, a few sparks forming in the air.
  1944. [23:13] <[Mode]Aileen> Or just enough magic, but that's not the point here.
  1945. [23:14] <[kiri]Takenaba> yah. So,
  1946. [23:14] * [kiri]Takenaba nudges Alexia.
  1947. [23:14] <[kiri]Takenaba> Your cue, lass.
  1948. [23:14] * [Mode]Aileen looks back at the one caught loitering.
  1949. [23:14] <[Mode]Aileen> What were you doing inside the perimeter? Actually, how'd you even get in that far? Nothing should be able to get through the shielding.
  1950. [23:15] <[Tesla]Alexia> Basically, I followed you. Figured you were interesting enough to look into after you did a job for me completely by accident.
  1951. [23:16] * [kiri]Takenaba is now puzzled, but decide it's better to stay silent and watch.
  1952. [23:16] <[Tesla]Alexia> So do I get to ask you something or do you want to know something else?
  1953. [23:18] <[Mode]Aileen> Did a job for you?
  1954. [23:20] <[Tesla]Alexia> Sure you did. That raid of yours, as a side effect I guess, took out a few people I had an appointment with. I guess it's just coincidence, but how did that happen?
  1955. [23:20] <[Mode]Aileen> Uh...
  1956. [23:21] <[Mode]Aileen> Random chance I suppose?
  1957. [23:24] * [Gtz]Filia a few minutes after securing the perimeter, Filia returns to the kitchen.
  1958. [23:24] <[Gtz]Filia> I'm back.
  1959. [23:26] * [Dune]Iniuria turns around and steps down from the stool, to smile and look at Filia.
  1960. [23:27] <[Tesla]Alexia> (Hm, I guess we'll go with that. So, want to know anything else? My name? Profession?)
  1961. [23:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> So it went well?
  1962. [23:27] <[Mode]Aileen> Uh, yeah, those would be handy to know, I guess. Name first, profession second.
  1963. [23:28] * [Dune]Iniuria fidgets ever so slightly after noticing just after the fact that her statement wasn't maybe the best way of terming it.
  1964. [23:28] * [Gtz]Filia sets down the AK near the table, observing Iniuria's work.
  1965. [23:28] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, rather...
  1966. [23:29] <[Tesla]Alexia> My full name is Alexia Ruiz Cortines, but just Alexia will do. Pleased to meet you! As for my profession... well, I guess it's a roundabout way of saying it, but are you familiar with cartomancy, um...
  1967. [23:30] * [Dune]Iniuria turns back to her work. Partially so she may finish completing it, partially so her momentary stumble of awkwardness isn't noticed.
  1968. [23:30] <[Mode]Aileen> Cartomancy?
  1969. [23:30] <[kiri]Takenaba> not really, nah.
  1970. [23:31] * [huh]Reliqua shakes her head.
  1971. [23:31] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks again to Filia as she brings pots of rice and cream peas to the table.
  1972. [23:31] <[Dune]Iniuria> no one got hurt, right? It doesn't look or sound like there was any trouble, anyway...
  1973. [23:32] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, I jst use it for symbolism. See, here, look at the wing on my sleeve.
  1974. [23:33] * [Tesla]Alexia turns to the side, imprinted near the top of her sleeve is the symbol for the suit of spades, as found on playing cards.
  1975. [23:33] * [Mode]Aileen looks at the symbol, and scratches her chin.
  1976. [23:33] * [Dune]Iniuria casts a slightly curious, slightly concerned glance at Filia as she continues on her way back to the range to bring the rest of the food to the table.
  1977. [23:33] <[Mode]Aileen> I don't really get it.
  1978. [23:34] * [Gtz]Filia doesn't look at Iniuria, rather speaking while paying attention to the meal, setting whatever may not be set.
  1979. [23:34] <[Gtz]Filia> There was an intruder. Operator Takenaba decided to to bring her in alive, so she wasn't terminated, as per prior orders.
  1980. [23:34] <[huh]Reliqua> Could you explain more thoroughly?
  1981. [23:34] <[Tesla]Alexia> The symbol has different connotations when it comes to fortunetelling with it. Intellect, education, air, other things... but most importantly, death. That's me.
  1982. [23:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> So you're kinda like a hired guns, huh?
  1983. [23:35] * [Dune]Iniuria relaxes a bit.
  1984. [23:35] * [Tesla]Alexia shakes her head.
  1985. [23:35] <[Dune]Iniuria> Ah, that's good...
  1986. [23:35] <[Tesla]Alexia> No, you're missing the point. I don't deal in death in the usual sense... well, I guess the simplest thing would be to think of me as a personification of it.
  1987. [23:36] <[huh]Reliqua> Huh?
  1988. [23:36] <[Gtz]Filia> The meal seems to be appropriate for the master.
  1989. [23:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> More of that supernatural mumbo-jumbo crap, I guess.
  1990. [23:36] * [Dune]Iniuria returns to the table once more with a plate of ration steaks. Prepared just right though (as they have), they can taste like something decently good.
  1991. [23:36] <[Tesla]Alexia> Don't tell me you actually believed all that junk about a skull and a scythe.
  1992. [23:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'm a science guy, myself. I don't really believe in this kinda stuffs.
  1993. [23:37] <[huh]Reliqua> ...Skull and scythe?
  1994. [23:37] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
  1995. [23:37] <[Dune]Iniuria> I think so, too.
  1996. [23:37] * [Gtz]Filia continues to avoid eye contact, shuffling through various items and ingredients in the kitchen, until picking out a few seemingly random ones and setting them all in one place.
  1997. [23:38] <[Gtz]Filia> If you have no further orders, I will go attend the matter we discussed before.
  1998. [23:38] <[Mode]Aileen> Personification of death, huh?
  1999. [23:39] <[Tesla]Alexia> Pretty much. Lots of names for it, but that's the idea.
  2000. [23:39] <[Mode]Aileen> So those guys in the truck were... uh, your mark?
  2001. [23:39] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles at Filia.
  2002. [23:39] <[Dune]Iniuria> Sure, you can go on ahead.
  2003. [23:39] * [Dune]Iniuria appends, quickly:
  2004. [23:40] <[Dune]Iniuria> ah, would you mind if i came with, though?
  2005. [23:40] <[huh]Reliqua> I'm still not entirely sure i understand.
  2006. [23:40] * [kiri]Takenaba shrugs.
  2007. [23:40] <[Tesla]Alexia> Yup. And you took care of them right before I got to them, so I thought you were worth investigating even if it was pure coincidence.
  2008. [23:40] <[kiri]Takenaba> She's kinda wacky, if you ask me.
  2009. [23:41] * [Tesla]Alexia shrugs, and addresses Reliqua.
  2010. [23:42] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, are you familiar with the concept of death?
  2011. [23:42] <[huh]Reliqua> Yes, as well as one like me can be.
  2012. [23:42] * [Dune]Iniuria looks at Filia inquisitively, waiting for an answer or response.
  2013. [23:42] * [Gtz]Filia files away "would you mind" as a means of pertaining if something is acceptable
  2014. [23:43] <[Gtz]Filia> I would not.
  2015. [23:44] * [Gtz]Filia collects these random things and carries them in a tray. She takes them to where she mapped the infirmary to be located.
  2016. [23:44] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles again, and outwardly happy, moves to accompany Filia.
  2017. [23:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright then, let's go!
  2018. [23:45] <[Mode]Aileen> So, you came to express thanks or something for doing your job for you?
  2019. [23:45] * [Mode]Aileen grins to herself.
  2020. [23:46] <[Mode]Aileen> Maybe offer some kind of reward?
  2021. [23:47] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, did you have something in mind? I shouldn't have any formal meetings for a while now that that's done.
  2022. [23:49] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, since you came all the way out here and got yourself stuck, why not join the 'staff'?
  2023. [23:50] <[Mode]Aileen> I could always use more people on hand, after all. More workers means things get easier for everyone.
  2024. [23:51] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, I think I have time enough to oblige you. Why not?
  2025. [23:51] * [huh]Reliqua shakes her head, but does not pursue the subject.
  2026. [23:52] * [Gtz]Filia arrives at the infirmary, setting down the tray and procuring the largest syringe she can find.
  2027. [23:52] * [Mode]Aileen claps excitedly.
  2028. [23:52] <[Mode]Aileen> Haha, two newcomers in one day! This is great.
  2029. [23:53] * [Mode]Aileen clears her throat, then plants her hands on her waist.
  2030. [23:53] <[Mode]Aileen> Time to get started then! Takenaba! You show these two new girls around and make sure they know the layout, I'm going to go investigate dinner.
  2031. [23:53] * [kiri]Takenaba sigh
  2032. [23:54] <[kiri]Takenaba> Yeah sure. Leave the babysitting to me like always.
  2033. [23:54] * [huh]Reliqua takes offense.
  2034. [23:54] <[huh]Reliqua> Babysitting?
  2035. [23:54] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, could you get me out of these cuffs first at least?
  2036. [23:54] <[kiri]Takenaba> a sec, please.
  2037. [23:55] * [kiri]Takenaba KARATE-CHOP the fuck out of that cuffs, like a real man would do in this situation.
  2038. [23:55] <[kiri]Takenaba> DUWAH~!
  2039. [23:56] * [Dune]Iniuria looks around the infirmary a bit, and then asks Filia:
  2040. [23:56] <[Dune]Iniuria> Filia, could i help you get anything?
  2041. [23:57] * [Gtz]Filia mixes various substances, but injects mostly water into her "bloodstream". Her features deepen, no longer clinging to her alloyed frame, but her skin is still abnormally pale.
  2042. [23:57] * [Tesla]Alexia brings her hands up, and looks at them curiously before turning to Takenaba.
  2043. [23:58] <[Gtz]Filia> No.
  2044. [23:58] <[Tesla]Alexia> So, you don't believe in things like the Grim Reaper, or Shinigami, or Thanatos, or anything like that?
  2045. [23:58] <[kiri]Takenaba> If I can't see it, it doesn't exist, yo.
  2046. [00:00] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, but looks a little relieved that Filia's appearance is returning (more so) to normal.
  2047. [00:00] <[Tesla]Alexia> Ah, empiricist. So you'd need me to prove myself to you then.
  2048. [00:00] <[kiri]Takenaba> Kind of.
  2049. [00:01] * [Gtz]Filia injects herself slowly a few more times, filling each syringe with a darker, thicker substance each time before finishing.
  2050. [00:01] <[huh]Reliqua> Oooh, is that what you were saying?
  2051. [00:02] <[Tesla]Alexia> Basically.
  2052. [00:02] * [Gtz]Filia flexes her arm, opening and closing her hand experimentally.
  2053. [00:03] <[huh]Reliqua> Yeah, no, things like that can't exist.
  2054. [00:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well to tell the truth I didn't care less about all this grim reaper 'n stuffs. Just do your work and we'll provide shelter and food. Since that's basically what everyone wants out here in the wasteland.
  2055. [00:04] <[Gtz]Filia> Alright. Within two hours and twelve minutes, my artificial blood should be replenished. However, the substance I used is substandard.
  2056. [00:04] <[kiri]Takenaba> just don't make a scene and we should get along just fine, I guess.
  2057. [00:05] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, for now that should do. I'll get you to believe me eventually, though.
  2058. [00:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> not really necessary, but okay, if ya insist.
  2059. [00:06] <[kiri]Takenaba> Sorry for earlier. It's a, y'know, my duty. No offense.
  2060. [00:07] <[Tesla]Alexia> Nah, that's okay.
  2061. [00:08] * [Dune]Iniuria nods again.
  2062. [00:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> So yeah, Missy. I'll take them for a sightseeing. Anything else?
  2063. [00:08] <[Dune]Iniuria> alright.
  2064. [00:09] * [Gtz]Filia continues making more of the gunk, but doesn't use any of it.
  2065. [00:12] * [Dune]Iniuria watches Filia as she does this, and begins pondering... ( I... don't want to make her go through that again and again if i can, and Aileen's helped before... )
  2066. [00:12] * [Dune]Iniuria outwardly looks just a tiny bit troubled.
  2067. [00:12] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm...
  2068. [00:12] <[Mode]Aileen> Nothing really comes to mind...
  2069. [00:12] * [Mode]Aileen wanders back over to the control console and sits back int he swivel chair in front of it, spinning slightly.
  2070. [00:13] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm going to check on the systems a bit more see if there's anything else strange going on, then I'm heading to the kitchen.
  2071. [00:13] <[kiri]Takenaba> wilco.
  2072. [00:13] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh~!
  2073. [00:14] * [Mode]Aileen stops to face the group near the doors.
  2074. [00:14] <[Mode]Aileen> I keep forgetting, since I'm so used to everyone knowing me already. My name's Aileen.
  2075. [00:14] * [Mode]Aileen addresses Alexia, and nods as she finishes.
  2076. [00:14] <[Mode]Aileen> Good to have you on board!
  2077. [00:15] * [Mode]Aileen wheels back around to the console and picks up the microphone again, hitting the broadcast button with her foot.
  2078. [00:15] <[kiri]Takenaba> more people for you to toy with, huh.
  2079. [00:15] * [kiri]Takenaba ruffles Aileen.
  2080. [00:15] <[kiri]Takenaba> I'll be goin'. Follow me, girls.
  2081. [00:16] <[Tesla]Alexia> Thanks, then, Aileen. Let me know if you need anything.
  2082. [00:16] <[Mode]Aileen> We've got new faces on hand, so don't be surprised if you're working with someone you don't know. Have fun together!
  2083. [00:16] * [Tesla]Alexia follows Takenaba, adjusting her mirrorshades as she looks around.
  2084. [00:18] * [huh]Reliqua bows to Aileen before departing.
  2085. [00:18] <[huh]Reliqua> Thank you again, miss.
  2086. [00:19] * [Gtz]Filia finishes making a cup of sludge, and leaves it in one of the cabinets for later use. She turns to Iniuria.
  2087. [00:20] <[Gtz]Filia> Is there a problem?
  2088. [00:20] * [Dune]Iniuria breaks out of her thinking, realizing that Filia has addressed her.
  2089. [00:21] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks truthfully. (There's no real reason for me to lie to her, and she caught me no-nonsense last time...)
  2090. [00:22] <[Dune]Iniuria> Well, if you have to go to this much trouble to regenerate after...
  2091. [00:22] * [Dune]Iniuria messes a little with her large ribbon.
  2092. [00:22] <[Dune]Iniuria> feeding me, i don't want to trouble you.
  2093. [00:23] * [Dune]Iniuria looks up at Filia, now.
  2094. [00:25] <[Gtz]Filia> Trouble is part of my orders. If there is no trouble, I recommend terminating my fuel cell to prevent hazardous radiation from being emitted.
  2095. [00:26] * [kiri]Takenaba take the girl for a tour around the prison, noting some point of interest and the place they need to take care of, where supply is and such. And after a while they circled around to the cell block where Takenaba imprisoned the intruder from that last time.
  2096. [00:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> That's probably all. You got it right?
  2097. [00:27] <[Tesla]Alexia> I think so. It's a lot to take in at once, but I'm pretty sure I get it.
  2098. [00:27] * [Dune]Iniuria 's eyes widen in shock at Filia's suggestion, and she instantly protests any action like that.
  2099. [00:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> No, no, that's not an option.
  2100. [00:28] * [huh]Reliqua nods.
  2101. [00:28] * [Dune]Iniuria walks toward Filia.
  2102. [00:28] <[huh]Reliqua> I have a pretty clear map of the... area now.
  2103. [00:28] <[Dune]Iniuria> Destroying your fuel cell means you dying, and that's not allowed, ok?
  2104. [00:28] * [huh]Reliqua searches around for a suitable word.
  2105. [00:29] * [Dune]Iniuria stands right next to / under Filia now, and looks up to her with a serious, determined, and slightly troubled glare.
  2106. [00:29] <[kiri]Takenaba> The area in the back is mostly unexplored, but it's full of rubble and broken down stuffs, so it's not really important.
  2107. [00:30] * [huh]Reliqua nods.
  2108. [00:30] <[huh]Reliqua> Your name is...?
  2109. [00:30] * [Gtz]Filia looks down at Iniuria. If you look closely, you can almost see the red in her pupils conflict with her gray-blue irises.
  2110. [00:31] <[Gtz]Filia> Acknowledged.
  2111. [00:31] * [Dune]Iniuria nods and sighs in relief, then closing her eyes and hugging Filia.
  2112. [00:34] <[Gtz]Filia> It may be the only option in the future, however. We have discussed this. ...?
  2113. [00:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> Oh. The name's Takenaba. You can just call me Take.
  2114. [00:36] * [Dune]Iniuria continues hugging Filia, but speaks remorsefully.
  2115. [00:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> We have, but i'm still telling you it's not an option, alright?
  2116. [00:36] * [huh]Reliqua nods.
  2117. [00:36] <[huh]Reliqua> Reliqua. It's a pleasure to be working with you.
  2118. [00:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> Your life is important, too...
  2119. [00:37] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, I guess you know my name already. Looking forward to working with you then.
  2120. [00:38] <[Gtz]Filia> Understood. However, to prevent misunderstanding, I must correct, insofar that I have "life", it is only skin deep.
  2121. [00:39] <[kiri]Takenaba> Like I said. if we peace it up, there will be no trouble.
  2122. [00:40] <[kiri]Takenaba> so whatchagonnado?
  2123. [00:41] <[kiri]Takenaba> We've finished our duty, so let's all go to the kitchen. If missy finish her stuffs it's our turn next.
  2124. [00:41] * [huh]Reliqua heads off to the kitchen
  2125. [00:41] * [Dune]Iniuria squeezes Filia for a moment before lightening her embrace, and playing with some of Filia's hair using one of her hands...
  2126. [00:42] <[Tesla]Alexia> Eh? Ah, sure. While we're at it I could practice using my weapon or something.
  2127. [00:42] <[Dune]Iniuria> "Life" is a lot more than that, you know?
  2128. [00:42] <[Dune]Iniuria> More than just biology...
  2129. [00:42] <[huh]Reliqua> Your "weapon"?
  2130. [00:42] <[Gtz]Filia> For others, perhaps.
  2131. [00:43] * [Gtz]Filia keeps an eye on Iniuria, with vague interest
  2132. [00:44] * [Dune]Iniuria releases from the embrace, and places her hands on Filia's shoulders while looking at her seriously. She would anyway, were she tall enough. Instead, her hands remain slightly above Filia's hips.
  2133. [00:44] <[Tesla]Alexia> Hm, yeah. One second.
  2134. [00:44] <[Dune]Iniuria> No, for you too.
  2135. [00:45] * [kiri]Takenaba leads the group past that one cell where there's a dried up corpse of a man. It looks awfully recent. Takenaba paid it no mind and just move on.
  2136. [00:45] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks seriously, but lightens up a bit and pokes Filia in her stomach playfully, then resuming her hug.
  2137. [00:45] * [Tesla]Alexia reaches into the back of her dress, pulling out what seems to be two joined pieces of metal.
  2138. [00:46] <[Dune]Iniuria> I guess you just don't really know, yet...
  2139. [00:46] * [Dune]Iniuria muses to herself.
  2140. [00:46] * [huh]Reliqua stares at the corpse, distracted.
  2141. [00:46] <[huh]Reliqua> That is...
  2142. [00:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> Some random bugger.
  2143. [00:47] <[huh]Reliqua> . . .
  2144. [00:47] <[Tesla]Alexia> This. It's a balisong, nothing too complicated, but I've been using it for some time and, I guess, like the feel of it... hm? So?
  2145. [00:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> Exotic weapon you got there.
  2146. [00:47] <[kiri]Takenaba> Mine is...
  2147. [00:48] * [kiri]Takenaba clench his fist, and show it to Alexia.
  2148. [00:48] * [huh]Reliqua is still staring at the corpse.
  2149. [00:48] <[Gtz]Filia> ...What are you doing, Iniuria?
  2150. [00:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> ...this. Far better than the gun itself.
  2151. [00:48] <[huh]Reliqua> You're just gonna leave him there?
  2152. [00:48] * [kiri]Takenaba turns to Reliqua.
  2153. [00:49] <[kiri]Takenaba> If there's no order for me to get rid 'o that, I'll leave him there.
  2154. [00:49] * [huh]Reliqua narrows her eyes.
  2155. [00:50] * [Mode]Aileen after her check of the feeds turns up nothing unusual, she pushes away from the console and heads over to the door and steps out, heading towards the kitchen.
  2156. [00:50] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles a bit and looks back up at Filia.
  2157. [00:50] <[Tesla]Alexia> And there's not much I could do for him, either. He looks like someone else's job.
  2158. [00:50] * [kiri]Takenaba shrugs.
  2159. [00:50] <[Dune]Iniuria> Hugging you, of course.
  2160. [00:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> it's not the first time i've done this.
  2161. [00:51] <[huh]Reliqua> I'll have to talk to the master about that, then. I can't just have corpses dirtying up cells, if I'm to work around here...
  2162. [00:51] * [Dune]Iniuria gives Filia a little squeeze, for good measure.
  2163. [00:51] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well, better move.
  2164. [00:51] <[Dune]Iniuria> or maybe you were asking about something else?
  2165. [00:52] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks with a little suggestion in her voice. Just a little.
  2166. [00:53] <[Gtz]Filia> Hm.
  2167. [00:53] * [Tesla]Alexia begins flipping her knife, continuously producing clicking noises.
  2168. [00:54] * [Mode]GM as if in response to the voices, the man in the cell shifts slightly. Rather than being dead, as it appears, he had been unconscious, and is now coming around due to the sound of voices.
  2169. [00:55] <[Gtz]Filia> No. However, is this all you wish to do? The Master may have orders for us.
  2170. [00:55] <[kiri]Takenaba> Oh hey. That random bugger's not really dead yet.
  2171. [00:56] * [Dune]Iniuria sighs.
  2172. [00:56] <[huh]Reliqua> Oh, he's not dead? That's quite alright, then.
  2173. [00:56] <[Dune]Iniuria> Yeah, Aileen probably's waiting in the kitchen...
  2174. [00:56] * [Dune]Iniuria reluctantly releases her hug.
  2175. [00:56] * [huh]Reliqua moves on to the kitchen.
  2176. [00:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> but to answer your question, no, that's not quite all, i guess.
  2177. [00:57] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles.
  2178. [00:57] * [kiri]Takenaba just shrugs, and move on.
  2179. [00:58] * [Tesla]Alexia follows, closing her knife and stowing it again.
  2180. [00:58] <[Gtz]Filia> ?
  2181. [01:01] * [Mode]Aileen reaches the kitchen eventually, and while she finds dinner prepared, she sees no sign of her keepers. Sighing to herself, she heads to the dining table anyway and takes her seat at the head. Peas, rice and steak, huh? Got some good supplies from that run it seems.
  2182. [01:02] <[Gtz]Filia> Your orders?
  2183. [01:02] * [kiri]Takenaba and his little group arrived at the kitchen.
  2184. [01:02] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles widely at Filia, then taking her hand.
  2185. [01:02] <[kiri]Takenaba> 'sup?
  2186. [01:02] <[Dune]Iniuria> let's get back to the kitchen, wouldn't want to keep them waiting~
  2187. [01:03] * [Dune]Iniuria gives Filia's hand a light tug.
  2188. [01:03] <[Gtz]Filia> Of course.
  2189. [01:03] * [Gtz]Filia follows along.
  2190. [01:03] * [huh]Reliqua bows to Aileen as she enters.
  2191. [01:04] * [Tesla]Alexia nods her head to Aileen, then runs her eyes over the table.
  2192. [01:05] * [Dune]Iniuria jogs off towards the kitchen, Filia in tow.
  2193. [00:07] <[Mode]Aileen> You're slow!
  2194. [00:08] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well, duh! This prison is gigantic!
  2195. [00:09] <[huh]Reliqua> Ah, I'm sorry, master. Were you waiting long?
  2196. 06[00:09] * [Mode]Aileen has already started eating, of course, but slows down a bit as the others finally show up. As they do, however, there's a loud series of sounds from deep within the prison. After the initial shock, Aileen directs Filia to investigate, and she dutifully heads off to her given task.
  2197. 06[00:11] * [Dune]Iniuria watches Filia go until she's no longer visible, and then enters the main dining area of the kitchen and takes a seat.
  2198. 06[00:11] * [huh]Reliqua nods to Iniuria as she enters.
  2199. [00:14] <[Mode]Aileen> Not too long, at least the food is still warm.
  2200. 06[00:14] * [Dune]Iniuria sees the android up and running, and nods to her as well.
  2201. 01[00:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> my cooking, too.
  2202. 06[00:15] * [Dune]Iniuria then walks over to the new robotic maid, and offers a handshake.
  2203. 06[00:15] * [kiri]Takenaba just sort of standing around, awaiting for orders.
  2204. 06[00:15] * [huh]Reliqua takes it.
  2205. [00:15] <[huh]Reliqua> Reliqua.
  2206. 01[00:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> Iniuria, pleased to meet you.
  2207. 06[00:16] * [Mode]Aileen nods to Iniuria with a mouthful.
  2208. [00:16] <[Mode]Aileen> 'S goo'
  2209. 06[00:16] * [Mode]Aileen fails at speaking with a mouthful of steak, ration or not.
  2210. [00:17] <[kiri]Takenaba> Hey. Don't speak while your mouth is full, missy!
  2211. 06[00:17] * [huh]Reliqua takes a bite herself.
  2212. 06[00:18] * [Tesla]Alexia curiously turns to the new arrivals, but waits before going to greet them.
  2213. [00:18] <[huh]Reliqua> It is good.
  2214. 06[00:20] * [Mode]Aileen scowls at Takenaba, but doesn't reply right away, waiting until she's swallowed.
  2215. [00:20] <[Mode]Aileen> Manners aren't that important, you know.
  2216. [00:21] <[Mode]Aileen> I'll talk if I want to talk.
  2217. [00:21] <[kiri]Takenaba> yeah sure, 'kay.
  2218. 06[00:21] * [kiri]Takenaba shrugs.
  2219. 06[00:21] * [huh]Reliqua sides with Aileen.
  2220. [00:21] <[huh]Reliqua> Now, you should show more respect!
  2221. 06[00:22] * [Dune]Iniuria releases reliqua's hand and takes her own seat at the table to begin to eat.
  2222. 06[00:22] * [Mode]Aileen brightens at Reliqua's support.
  2223. [00:22] <[Mode]Aileen> See! Reli gets it! You should follow her example Take.
  2224. 06[00:23] * [Dune]Iniuria speaks up.
  2225. 01[00:23] <[Dune]Iniuria> Manners are good too, but not always necessary.
  2226. 06[00:24] * [Tesla]Alexia shrugs, and looks for a seat at the table before sitting down and beginning to eat.
  2227. [00:24] <[Mode]Aileen> Mmm, 'specially alone.
  2228. 06[00:24] * [Mode]Aileen speaks while having yet another mouthful.
  2229. [00:25] <[Tesla]Alexia> Still, that's different, isn't it?
  2230. [00:25] <[kiri]Takenaba> You're not really ladylike for a lady, y'know?
  2231. 06[00:26] * [Mode]Aileen chuckles a bit.
  2232. [00:26] <[Mode]Aileen> There's no world of ladies in this day and age.
  2233. [00:27] <[Mode]Aileen> I don't mind in front of you lot because you're my servants and workers, but if one of the traders or those slavers swing around at some point and want to strike a deal, that's when I need to be at my best appearance wise to try to keep the from thinking they can take advantage of my hospitality, but otherwise I'm not going to put on airs.
  2234. [00:29] <[Tesla]Alexia> Wouldn't it be good to at least make a habit of it so you get it right without having to force yourself, whenever that happens?
  2235. [00:32] <[Mode]Aileen> Mmm...
  2236. 06[00:33] * [Mode]Aileen pushes around a bit of steak for a second in thought, then spears it and eats it.
  2237. [00:33] <[Mode]Aileen> Nah.
  2238. 06[00:34] * [Dune]Iniuria smiles a bit, amused with Aileen.
  2239. [00:34] <[huh]Reliqua> Acting like this means the master is completely fine with letting down her guard with us. It's evidence that she feels comfortable with us.
  2240. 06[00:34] * [Dune]Iniuria 's smile disappears though, when her stomach grumbles in that particular way...
  2241. [00:35] <[Mode]Aileen> It's not really forced, it's a difference in attitude. Between relaxed and business. Someone comes looking to buy and sell supplies, I want to come across as a valuable customer so I get better deals and better goods, while trying not to look weak and easy to deceive.
  2242. [00:36] <[Mode]Aileen> Same with manhunters and slavers, or anyone that would like to make use of this facility. It is still a prison after all, and if people can pay some kind of fee to store their... perishables here for some time, then I've no problem with their business, but a the same time I need to seem ruthless, someone they wouldn't want to push around, even if just being in the same room makes me nervous.
  2243. [00:37] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm sure there's quite a few times that this place would have been overrun by slavers or other wasteland gangs coming to make a deal if I didn't have some of the people in this room.
  2244. [00:37] <[kiri]Takenaba> oh ho.
  2245. [00:37] <[Mode]Aileen> I wouldn't even want to imagine what some of those assholes would do with a young girl like me either, and I'd prefer it stay that way.
  2246. 06[00:37] * [kiri]Takenaba is somewhat proud.
  2247. 06[00:38] * [Dune]Iniuria 's smile returns, hearing the praise.
  2248. 06[00:39] * [huh]Reliqua shudders empathetically.
  2249. [00:40] <[Tesla]Alexia> Yeah, I know what you mean. I've seen some pretty impressive stuff of the sort in this line of work... not much of it is very pleasant.
  2250. [00:41] <[Mode]Aileen> Eh~ I could only imagine what someone like you would have seen.
  2251. [00:43] <[Tesla]Alexia> Well, I'd have lots to tell. I could narrate some if you want, but you'd better have a lot of time on your hands if you ever ask me to.
  2252. [00:43] <[kiri]Takenaba> and I bet it's not a thing to discuss over dinner, fo sho.
  2253. [00:44] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, it's not like there's a lot for me to do during the days. I wake up, watch the monitors for activity, practice my magic, order around my minions, sleep, and other things I can do to amuse myself to the best of my ability.
  2254. [00:45] <[huh]Reliqua> ...magic?
  2255. [00:45] <[kiri]Takenaba> Minions, huh?!
  2256. 06[00:46] * [kiri]Takenaba ruffles Aileen, disheveling her hair. and of course, this is intentional.
  2257. 06[00:47] * [Mode]Aileen squirms at Takenaba's action, shaking away the aggressing hand.
  2258. [00:47] <[Mode]Aileen> Yeah, magic, like, watch.
  2259. 06[00:48] * [Mode]Aileen holds a hand out over the table, and several small lights appear in the air over her palm, moving around her fingers. They converge above her palm, and burst into a multicoloured nova. Nothing more than a fancy light effect, but still.
  2260. 06[00:48] * [Dune]Iniuria watches intently, as she usually does not see any of Aileen's magic.
  2261. 06[00:48] * [Dune]Iniuria claps.
  2262. 06[00:48] * [kiri]Takenaba whistle.
  2263. [00:48] <[kiri]Takenaba> Cool.
  2264. 01[00:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> Very.
  2265. [00:48] <[huh]Reliqua> That was... magic, you said?
  2266. [00:48] <[Tesla]Alexia> Very nice.
  2267. [00:48] <[Mode]Aileen> Just a small display, something flashy.
  2268. [00:49] <[Mode]Aileen> Before the war, magic had a lot of use in pretty much everything, from stage performances to basic needs like lighting fires or doing chores. Of course, there were the combat applications, which is what he have to thank for the current state of affairs in the world.
  2269. 06[00:50] * [huh]Reliqua nods.
  2270. [00:50] <[kiri]Takenaba> too bad I can't do any of that.
  2271. [00:50] <[Mode]Aileen> Most people nowadays have the fear of god in them, seeing magic as some kind of terror, and they're afraid of trying to use it in case it causes even more destruction, but they're just ignorant sandeaters.
  2272. [00:51] <[Mode]Aileen> It's like any kind of tool, even a wrench can be deadly when you use it to bash someone's skull open.
  2273. 06[00:51] * [Mode]Aileen grins, with a touch of wickedness.
  2274. [00:52] <[Mode]Aileen> It's also handy when the ones scared of it are the ones that would try to take advantage of me. Fear is a powerful negotiation tactic.
  2275. [00:52] <[Mode]Aileen> One or two grown men go flying across a room with just a wave of a hand, anyone will listen to what the young lady has to say~
  2276. [00:52] <[huh]Reliqua> You most certainly are full of marvels, master.
  2277. 06[00:52] * [Dune]Iniuria nods, agreeing with Reliqua.
  2278. [00:53] <[Tesla]Alexia> ...Though fear does blur the line between negotiation and coercion.
  2279. [00:53] <[Tesla]Alexia> Not that it's such a bad thing, though.
  2280. 06[00:53] * [Dune]Iniuria thinks, though: (I wonder if my teeth could work in 'negotiation'?)
  2281. 06[00:53] * [Dune]Iniuria absent-mindedly opens her mouth a little, and thumbs one of her slightly elongated and sharp canines.
  2282. 06[00:54] * [kiri]Takenaba look at his own fist, deep in thought....
  2283. [00:56] <[Mode]Aileen> The line is always blurry anyway, though it helps balance the situation if they're carrying weapons or just acting out of line.
  2284. 06[00:56] * [Mode]Aileen pushes her empty plate away and lays her chest down on the table.
  2285. [00:56] <[Mode]Aileen> Haa~ That was good.
  2286. 06[00:58] * [huh]Reliqua does the same with her own almost-empty dish.
  2287. 01[00:59] <[Dune]Iniuria> Thank you.
  2288. 06[00:59] * [Dune]Iniuria notices that she's just essentially gone and shown off her teeth, and quickly shuts her mouth with a small clack.
  2289. [01:05] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm, I wonder what I'll do for tonight...
  2290. 06[01:05] * [Mode]Aileen sits up, resting her head in her hands.
  2291. [01:06] <[Mode]Aileen> What do the lot of you do to pass time when I'm not sending you off to work?
  2292. 06[01:06] * [Mode]Aileen looks at the two newcomers.
  2293. [01:06] <[Mode]Aileen> Or rather, in certain cases, what do or did you do to pass time?
  2294. [01:07] <[huh]Reliqua> Er, I've mostly been in my box, so...
  2295. 06[01:07] * [huh]Reliqua scratches her head nervously.
  2296. 06[01:08] * [Dune]Iniuria 's stomach grumbles again. (I'll... go ahead and ask Aileen, tonight.)
  2297. [01:08] <[Tesla]Alexia> Not too much time to kill, so I just practiced tricks with my balisong a little.
  2298. [01:10] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm~ Well you said something, back in the storeroom, but I think that's something I'll ask about later.
  2299. 06[01:11] * [Mode]Aileen eyes Reliqua a bit, then goes back to looking over the table.
  2300. 06[01:11] * [Tesla]Alexia looks at Aileen, confused, but then shrugs and looks forward.
  2301. 01[01:11] <[Dune]Iniuria> hm, i'll find something to do.
  2302. 06[01:11] * [Dune]Iniuria chimes in a little late.
  2303. 06[01:14] * [Mode]Aileen sits back and stretches, then stands up from the table.
  2304. [01:14] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm heading back up to my room for now I guess. Clean up in here and then you can have the rest of the night to yourselves.
  2305. 06[01:14] * [Dune]Iniuria tries giving Aileen a half-nervous "I'm hungry..." glance on the sly.
  2306. 01[01:15] <[Dune]Iniuria> Alright.
  2307. 06[01:15] * [Mode]Aileen notices Iniuria giving looks, and nods a bit. She'd been acting a little flustered a little bit ago as well, must be about that time again.
  2308. 06[01:17] * [huh]Reliqua immediately rises and begins clearing away the dishes.
  2309. [01:19] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well, let's clean up. That's all we can do for now.
  2310. 06[01:20] * [kiri]Takenaba set off to help Reli.
  2311. 06[01:20] * [Dune]Iniuria sets off to help Take.
  2312. 01[01:20] <[Dune]Iniuria> yep.
  2313. 06[01:20] * [Mode]Aileen heads out of the kitchen/dining room and into the hallway outside, taking a few steps along, but not exactly in a rush to get anyway, more to wait for Ini to catch up.
  2314. 06[01:21] * [Tesla]Alexia stands up, and starts gathering everything into groups so they're easier to collect.
  2315. 06[01:22] * [kiri]Takenaba finish up stuffs, y'know, like, maid-ey stuffs.
  2316. 06[01:26] * [Dune]Iniuria sees the stack of dishes, and while they are relatively clean, wishes to leave them until later.
  2317. 01[01:26] <[Dune]Iniuria> These dishes aren't too dirty, so i'll handle them in the morning if you like.
  2318. 06[01:26] * [Dune]Iniuria addresses Takenaba and Reliqua while ready to exit the room.
  2319. [01:26] <[kiri]Takenaba> I have nothing to do, so you go on ahead. I'll deal with this.
  2320. 06[01:26] * [Dune]Iniuria nods.
  2321. 01[01:27] <[Dune]Iniuria> thanks.
  2322. [01:27] <[kiri]Takenaba> don't sweat it, lass.
  2323. 06[01:27] * [Dune]Iniuria then rushes out of the room to catch up with Aileen.
  2324. 06[01:28] * [huh]Reliqua finishes up with the dishes and silverware, then looks around rather listlessly.
  2325. [01:28] <[kiri]Takenaba> nicely done, robo.
  2326. 06[01:28] * [kiri]Takenaba pats Reliqua.
  2327. 06[01:29] * [huh]Reliqua nods absentmindedly.
  2328. [01:29] <[huh]Reliqua> Hey.... did the master say where I should sleep?
  2329. 06[01:29] * [Mode]Aileen hears Iniuria coming up, and turns to acknowledge her.
  2330. [01:29] <[Mode]Aileen> About time for you to eat again, eh?
  2331. [01:30] <[Mode]Aileen> Hasn't it been a little longer than normal though?
  2332. 06[01:30] * [Mode]Aileen develops a sly grin.
  2333. 06[01:31] * [kiri]Takenaba stretch.
  2334. 06[01:32] * [Dune]Iniuria shyly responds, while fiddling with her ribbon.
  2335. 01[01:32] <[Dune]Iniuria> yes...
  2336. [01:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well I'm going to do some workout after dinner.
  2337. [01:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> You?
  2338. [01:35] <[huh]Reliqua> Eh, the master didn't tell me where my room was...
  2339. [01:35] <[huh]Reliqua> Maybe she expects me to sleep in my box?
  2340. [01:35] <[kiri]Takenaba> Well, how about.....
  2341. [01:36] <[Tesla]Alexia> Yeah, I'm kinda left without a room myself.
  2342. [01:36] <[Mode]Aileen> It's okay, I don't really mind.
  2343. [01:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> You all can stay in my room for today. I'll go scouting around and search for a comfortable room for ya tomorrow.
  2344. [01:36] <[Mode]Aileen> So, whereto? Would you rather head to the infirmary so I can make up a bloodpack for you or would you prefer to drink warm from the vein?
  2345. [01:36] <[kiri]Takenaba> I can sleep on the floor, no prob.
  2346. 06[01:37] * [Dune]Iniuria continues fidgeting with her ribbon, now adding her skirt to the nervous display.
  2347. [01:37] <[Tesla]Alexia> I wouldn't force you to, you realize. I could do that just fine myself.
  2348. [01:38] <[huh]Reliqua> Yes, I wouldn't want to impose.
  2349. [01:38] <[kiri]Takenaba> Ey. when I say no prob, I mean it. You gonna sleep in my room today.
  2350. 06[01:38] * [Dune]Iniuria recalls her feeding from Filia, earlier in the day... And while she usually preferred bloodpacks...
  2351. 01[01:38] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14um, warm...
  2352. 06[01:40] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes, ever so slightly.
  2353. [01:43] <[huh]Reliqua> Um... I really...
  2354. [01:44] <[kiri]Takenaba> Okay. Follow me, you lot. Let's go get the blanket and pillow and stuffs.
  2355. 06[01:45] * [Mode]Aileen pats Iniuria on the head, chuckling a little.
  2356. 06[01:45] * [kiri]Takenaba half-pull-half-drag the two out of the room, heading to the laundry room.
  2357. [01:46] <[Mode]Aileen> Then we'll need to make sure not to leave a mess. I think the bath connected to my room should be a good place, I was going to go soak anyway.
  2358. 06[01:46] * [huh]Reliqua follows a bit uncomfortably, a bit unwillingly.
  2359. 06[01:48] * [Dune]Iniuria 's blush increases a little more, and she nods nervously.
  2360. 01[01:48] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14o-ok...
  2361. 06[01:49] * [Tesla]Alexia lets herself be pulled along, not really minding it at all.
  2362. 06[01:52] * [Mode]Aileen heads up to her room, Iniuria in tow, and ushers her in.
  2363. [01:57] <[Mode]Aileen> I can't remember the last time you drank fresh.
  2364. 06[01:58] * [Dune]Iniuria just blushes a tiny bit, and drops her head.
  2365. -----
  2366. @@Extended scene!
  2367. -----
  2368. [23:57] <[Mode]Aileen> [When we last left off: Aileen heads up to her room, Iniuria in tow, and ushers her in. Aileen "I can't remember the last time you drank fresh." Iniuria just blushes a tiny bit, and drops her head.]
  2369. [23:58] <[Mode]Aileen> You're already out of blood packs though? I thought there were still some left.
  2370. 06[23:59] * [Dune]Iniuria 's blush deepens slightly.
  2371. [00:00] <[Mode]Aileen> Or have you been living off some other source?
  2372. 06[00:00] * [Mode]Aileen smiles, rubbing Iniuria's head.
  2373. [00:00] <[Mode]Aileen> In any case, you're hungry.
  2374. 06[00:01] * [Dune]Iniuria remains silent still, but nods slightly.
  2375. [00:05] <[Mode]Aileen> What's wrong? You're pretty quiet. You nervous about doing this now after getting used to the packs?
  2376. 06[00:06] * [Dune]Iniuria recalls again what it was like feeding off of Filia earlier... (I-i kinda want to again, but...)
  2377. 06[00:06] * [Dune]Iniuria thinks: (I don't want to harm her, either...)
  2378. 06[00:07] * [Dune]Iniuria (so maybe...)
  2379. 01[00:08] <[Dune]Iniuria> 15this way i won't...
  2380. 06[00:08] * [Dune]Iniuria inadvertently thinks aloud, albeit very quietly.
  2381. 06[00:08] * [Mode]Aileen crouches slightly.
  2382. [00:08] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm, you say something?
  2383. 06[00:11] * [Dune]Iniuria blushes and drops her head a little more, some of her hair now covers her face.
  2384. 06[00:13] * [Dune]Iniuria tries to keep Aileen away from discussion of... that.
  2385. 01[00:13] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14um, yeah, i'm nervous...
  2386. 06[00:15] * [Mode]Aileen stands back up, stretching as she does.
  2387. [00:16] <[Mode]Aileen> I'll be fine, don't worry. A little bite like yours is easy to handle.
  2388. 06[00:16] * [Dune]Iniuria gulps, but doesn't raise her head.
  2389. 01[00:16] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14um, alright...
  2390. 06[00:16] * [Mode]Aileen walks over to the door connecting to the private bath and pushes it open, grabbing a towel from the rack near the door.
  2391. [00:16] <[Mode]Aileen> Come on now.
  2392. 06[00:19] * [Dune]Iniuria raises her head back up a bit as she walks slowly over to the bath, her heart's pacing faster than usual...
  2393. 06[00:29] * [Mode]Aileen heads into the bathroom. The bathroom is actually pretty normal despite being the warden's private one, closer to resembling a comfortable bathroom from a home rather than a prison. Aileen sheds her overshirt, remaining in just a tank top and her shorts as she steps over to the bathtub and places the plug into the drain, and starting the water running afterwards.
  2394. [00:29] <[Mode]Aileen> Okay then, which side would you prefer, front or back?
  2395. 06[00:33] * [Dune]Iniuria messes a little bit with the large ribbon on her back as she stands beside the tub, breathing a little more heavily.
  2396. 06[00:34] * [Dune]Iniuria feels something almost akin to guilt as she makes her request...
  2397. 01[00:34] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14a-ah, front, if that's not a problem...
  2398. [00:35] <[Mode]Aileen> No problem then.
  2399. 06[00:36] * [Mode]Aileen letting the tub fill, she sweeps back her hair and places the towel over her lap as she sits on the edge of the tub, facing outwards.
  2400. [00:36] <[Mode]Aileen> Alright then, let's get started.
  2401. 06[00:43] * [Dune]Iniuria cautiously moves over to Aileen and sits in her lap and turns her body around to face Aileen, her own face still blushing deeply.
  2402. 06[00:45] * [Dune]Iniuria (this is like...)
  2403. 06[00:47] * [Dune]Iniuria moves her head just up to Aileen's collarbone and next to her neck, breathing heavily upon it.
  2404. [00:49] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm ready.
  2405. 06[00:49] * [Mode]Aileen places a hand on Iniuria's back reassuringly.
  2406. 06[00:51] * [Dune]Iniuria raises her head slightly to glance at Aileen with upturned eyes.
  2407. 01[00:52] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14a-are you sure?
  2408. [00:54] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm not going to get any readier. Would you prefer if I make a cut first?
  2409. 06[00:56] * [Dune]Iniuria drops her head back down again.
  2410. 01[00:57] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14n-no, i just wanted to be sure...
  2411. 06[01:03] * [Dune]Iniuria then slowly moves her mouth over beside Aileen's neck and after holding for a moment, bites down and begins drawing blood.
  2412. 06[01:08] * [Mode]Aileen cringes a little bit at the bite, but bears it well. In the mean time, she channels some energy to help increase blood flow while easing the initial pain of the bite.
  2413. 06[01:08] * [Dune]Iniuria somehow manages to keep the rate of this controlled however, despite all of her recalling having fed off of Filia earlier in the day.
  2414. 06[01:13] * [Dune]Iniuria closes her eyes then, however, and begins to forget herself.
  2415. 06[01:13] * [Dune]Iniuria starts drawing much more vigorously.
  2416. 06[01:15] * [Mode]Aileen reaches back to shut off the water as the tub reaches a good amount of water, keeping her balance so as to not disturb Ini or make her wound any larger.
  2417. [01:16] <[Mode]Aileen> Having a good time?
  2418. 06[01:21] * [Dune]Iniuria doesn't even really hear Aileen's comment as her breathing becomes rougher and her mind slips out of reality...
  2419. 06[01:24] * [Dune]Iniuria sloppily releases her grasp on the first bite, spilling a fairly large amount of blood as she goes again and makes another, releasing from that even and making one more to drain from in a massive departure from ordinary procedure.
  2420. [01:27] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, hey!
  2421. 06[01:28] * [Mode]Aileen presses a hand into Iniuria's side and gives her a jolt to snap her to attention.
  2422. 06[01:34] * [Dune]Iniuria starts and her eyes immediately shoot open, her body jolting into a squirming upright position and inadvertantly spilling a copious amount of blood down and on herself while doing so.
  2423. 01[01:36] <[Dune]Iniuria> a-ah, eh?
  2424. 06[01:37] * [Dune]Iniuria blinks and looks at Aileen, taking a moment to absorb what just happened.
  2425. [01:37] <[Mode]Aileen> Getting a little excited, there, it seems.
  2426. 06[01:38] * [Mode]Aileen presses a hand over the bites, focusing energy into the wound to accelerate healing.
  2427. 06[01:41] * [Dune]Iniuria immediately blushes deeply and drops her head, now that she realizes she had to be snapped out of it...
  2428. 01[01:41] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14a-ah, umm...
  2429. [01:41] <[Mode]Aileen> Have you even fed at all recently?
  2430. 06[01:45] * [Dune]Iniuria quickly tries to find some explanation for herself.
  2431. 01[01:45] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14uhh, well...yeah...
  2432. [01:46] <[Mode]Aileen> Must have been a while ago...
  2433. 06[01:47] * [Mode]Aileen pulls her hand away. Despite it being covered in blood, the bites are now mostly healed. She does note that she's starting to feel a little light headed.
  2434. [01:47] <[Mode]Aileen> Think I stopped you in time at least, just starting to feel woozy.
  2435. 06[01:47] * [Dune]Iniuria somehow blushes even more deeply, and turns her head to try and avoid looking at Aileen entirely.
  2436. 06[01:48] * [Dune]Iniuria does this because she knows the last time was that morning...
  2437. 01[01:49] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14i'm 15sorry...
  2438. [01:52] <[Mode]Aileen> It's okay, no permanent damage done at least.
  2439. 06[01:53] * [Mode]Aileen "Though maybe a bit of psychological trauma," she says with a playful tone.
  2440. 06[01:57] * [Dune]Iniuria is hit with a double-dose of guilt despite Aileen's comment.
  2441. [02:00] <[Mode]Aileen> Are you full at least?
  2442. 06[02:00] * [Mode]Aileen rubs Iniuria's back consolingly, considering she looks pretty upset.
  2443. 06[02:02] * [Dune]Iniuria makes a tiny nod, her face still being concealed by her own hair while her throat tightens.
  2444. 06[02:05] * [Dune]Iniuria : (I-i did that, thinking... and nearly hurt her, and...)
  2445. 06[02:07] * [Dune]Iniuria is still exceedingly upset with her presently bloodstained self.
  2446. [02:08] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, you got covered in blood too...
  2447. 06[02:08] * [Mode]Aileen looks down at herself as well. Seems they're both quite soaked in it.
  2448. [02:09] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, this could be a bit problematic for others to see. At least in my case I could wash my stuff out right here and change in my room.
  2449. 06[02:10] * [Dune]Iniuria twirls a little bit of her hair which has been bloodstained as well worriedly.
  2450. 01[02:11] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14y-yeah...
  2451. 06[02:11] * [Dune]Iniuria barely manages to choke out the words.
  2452. 01[02:12] <[Dune]Iniuria> 14i-i...
  2453. 06[02:12] * [Dune]Iniuria stops speaking.
  2454. [02:13] <[Mode]Aileen> This is a pretty big mess...
  2455. 06[02:13] * [Mode]Aileen lifts Iniuria from her lap and stands up, lifting the now bloodstained towel up as well.
  2456. [02:14] <[Mode]Aileen> Hold on for a second.
  2457. 06[02:14] * [Dune]Iniuria nods again, and sits down against the side of the tub.
  2458. 06[02:15] * [Mode]Aileen heads out of the bathroom, back into her room, and spends some time fishing through an old chest sitting against the wall she uses to keep clothes in. She returns a minute later, carrying a large t shirt and grabs more towels from the rack near the door.
  2459. [02:16] <[Mode]Aileen> Alright then, clothes off, you're getting a bath.

  2477. [19:35] <Filia> Robot?
  2478. [19:37] <Iniuria> I am, too~
  2479. [19:38] <Reliqua> We're like all robots.
  2480. [19:39] <[GM]> Oi oi! Off the stage! Get in character! Camera's rolling in 5.
  2481. [19:41] <[GM]> [Last time, in Prison! A mysterious figure outside the compound Who is this strange person? A maid! Well, without time to waste, she's recruited! With strange sounds deep within the ruins, one maid heads off alone to investigate, and things get bloody in the bathroom!]
  2482. [19:45] * [GM] Dawn. The morning sunrise on the scorched plains of the wastelands begins a new day int he tough day to day that so many survivors struggle through. The time when the wheels of civilization shake off the sand and rust and start to turn anew, the morning light uncovering whatever misfortunes the night brought, whether it be death or robbery. However, these pale in comparison to the troubles faced by one girl: What's for breakfast? At the prison, overlooking a distant cliff...
  2483. [19:46] * [Mode]Aileen rolls over, opening her eyes. From the glare on the monitors, it seems to be morning. She should probably get up. A growling in her stomach supports this idea.
  2484. [19:51] * [Tess]Alexia paces about the halls with no real direction in mind.
  2485. [19:53] * [Mode]Aileen too lazy to walk, she takes a few steps towards her rolling chair and plops down, using her momentum to carry her part of the way to the console, and pedaling the rest backwards. With only a minor amount of fumbling, she hits the button for the intercom.
  2486. [19:54] <[Mode]Aileen> G'mornin' everyone. I'm up, what's for breakfast?
  2487. [19:54] * Reliqua looks up at the sound of her master's voice, unsure if she expected an actual response.
  2488. [19:55] * Iniuria opens the door to Aileen's room and enters just then, very much up and in clean attire.
  2489. [19:56] * [Mode]Aileen wheels around lazily, spotting Iniuria.
  2490. [19:56] <Iniuria> I'm not sure of what we have, but i'll go and start breakfast if you wish.
  2491. [19:57] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, Ini, you're the best! We should have some bacon, can you cook that up?
  2492. [19:57] * Iniuria nods.
  2493. [19:57] <Iniuria> I'll get right on it!
  2494. [19:59] * Iniuria walks briskly out the door, proceeding to the kitchen with all due haste.
  2495. [19:59] * Reliqua makes her way toward the kitchen to make sure that breakfast isn't being neglected.
  2496. [20:00] * Filia is preparing pans, dishes, bowls, and other cooking instruments for the making of breakfast.
  2497. [20:01] <Reliqua> Ah, Filia, was it? Are you well?
  2498. [20:02] * Filia acknowledges Reliqua with a turn of the head, then back to her work.
  2499. [20:02] * [Tess]Alexia notices Reliqua from far off, she follows her into the kitchen out of curiosity.
  2500. [20:03] <Filia> Indeed. My physical output is at a steady ninety-six percent, and can be increased if necessary. You are the Master's new servant, correct?
  2501. [20:05] <Reliqua> It is correct. I am Reliqua.
  2502. [20:07] <Filia> I see. I shall add you to my access list, at a half-Operator status. You are here to cook food for the master as well, correct?
  2503. [20:08] * Filia turns to Reliqua once more, takes a mugshot with her electric eye, and creates >>RELIQUA.txt
  2504. [20:08] * [Mode]Aileen heads into her private bath to wash up first, pedaling all the way to the door before standing from the chair.
  2505. [20:09] <Reliqua> Yes. It is the least I could do.
  2506. [20:10] * [Tess]Alexia walks to the rest of the group, seeming to be in a rather neutral mood.
  2507. [20:10] <[Tess]Alexia> So... what needs doing?
  2508. [20:10] <Filia> I see. In that case, I shall trust it to you, as I have a report for the Master. Is this acceptable?
  2509. [20:12] <Reliqua> Of course.
  2510. [20:12] <Filia> Good.
  2511. [20:12] * [Tess]Alexia looks a little put off.
  2512. [20:12] <Filia> Alexia, refer to Reliqua for further commands.
  2513. [20:13] <[Tess]Alexia> Don't just ignore me!
  2514. [20:13] <Reliqua> Ah, Alexia? I didn't notice.
  2515. [20:13] <Reliqua> Good morning.
  2516. [20:13] * Reliqua bows.
  2517. [20:13] * Filia leaves without another word, heading to the Master's private quarters.
  2518. [20:16] <[Tess]Alexia> Morning... Reliqua, was it? Sorry, I'm not good with names.
  2519. [20:16] <Reliqua> Reliqua, yes.
  2520. [20:18] <Reliqua> And you are the... self-proclaimed avatar of death.
  2521. [20:19] * [Mode]Aileen exits her bathroom, feeling more awake, and digs into her drawers for something to wear. As much as she'd love to walk around in just her cut-offs and tank top, if someone ended up showing up she wouldn't want to have to wait to get dressed.
  2522. [20:20] * Reliqua continues where Filia left off.
  2523. [20:20] * [Tess]Alexia shrugs.
  2524. [20:21] <[Tess]Alexia> It only makes a difference if you believe it or you're on my list, so no matter.
  2525. [20:22] * Filia simply opens the master's bedroom door and closes it behind her.
  2526. [20:22] <Filia> Master. I have a report of last night's investigation.
  2527. [20:22] <Reliqua> Indeed. Are you here to help?
  2528. [20:24] * [Mode]Aileen looks over at Filia, dropping the shirt she was mulling over back into the drawer.
  2529. [20:24] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh? What was it?
  2530. [20:25] <[Tess]Alexia> If you've got work I can do, I'll do it gladly.
  2531. [20:26] <Reliqua> Help in the kitchen is always appreciated. If you can fetch that, I'd be most obliged.
  2532. [20:26] * Reliqua points to a bottle on the counter.
  2533. [20:26] <[Tess]Alexia> Right.
  2534. [20:26] <Filia> The source of the sound can be attributed to a partial collapse of the Prison's interior. Upon closer examination, it seems that the damage was prior to your arrival here. However, I would not recommend your venture into the area, as the flooring appeared unstable.
  2535. [20:27] * [Tess]Alexia walks over and grabs the bottle, then walks back while scrutinizing the bottle.
  2536. [20:29] * Filia , as she's talking, turns out the lights and does something funny with her eyes. After a few seconds, They fill with light, and two square images are shown against the room's wall. She focuses them together to create a video feedback of her investigation, shown from her own eyes. A variety of instruments are visible on-screen, most notably a difference in color to allow night vision for human use.
  2537. [20:30] <[Mode]Aileen> Unstable? Actually, that could probably be a problem in itself. If more of the building gives way, then there could end up being a lot of structural damage...
  2538. [20:31] <Reliqua> Thank you, Alexia. Now, if you'll keep stirring this, so that it doesn't burn, I'll get started on the next dish...
  2539. [20:31] * [Mode]Aileen studies the playback, looking closer at the damage sustained.
  2540. [20:33] <[Mode]Aileen> I think we should all go down there after breakfast and take a closer look. There should be a lower level, if we can go down there and find the spot from below, we could... I don't know... maybe find some way to brace it to keep it from collapsing.
  2541. [20:34] <[Tess]Alexia> Ah, right. Sure thing.
  2542. [20:35] * [Tess]Alexia proceeds to stir the stuff, stopping occasionally to whiff it.
  2543. [20:36] <Filia> I understand. I advise you to take caution if you are to accompany us, as I cannot guarantee your safety one-hundred percent.
  2544. [20:36] * Iniuria finally arrives in the kitchen, somehow managing to have gotten herself lost along the way... ( How did that happen? )
  2545. [20:37] <[Mode]Aileen> Yeah... There's quite a lot to this prison that I haven't explored, really. All the systems towards the front are all operational, and there's more than enough room for us to live here comfortably, so I never really bothered with the rest.
  2546. [20:37] <Reliqua> Ah, Iniuria? This certainly is becoming quite a gathering.
  2547. [20:38] * Iniuria looks around the room, noticing that meal preparation has already begun and all of the occupants of the room. ( Filia isn't here? I thought she would be... I'll find her later. )
  2548. [20:40] <Iniuria> Good morning, Reliqua.
  2549. [20:40] <[Mode]Aileen> Though, as big as this place is, we could end up stumbling across another armoury, or who knows, maybe some kind of robotics facility.
  2550. [20:40] <Filia> It may be best to allow myself and other automatons to explore in your stead. If something were to happen, the injuries we would sustain would be minimal with no lasting repercussions.
  2551. [20:41] <Reliqua> Good morning.
  2552. [20:41] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, yeah, that's obvious, though...
  2553. [20:41] * [Mode]Aileen looks away, scratching her head slightly.
  2554. [20:41] * Iniuria notices Alexia as well as she moves forth and brings up a stool to inspect the meal in progress.
  2555. [20:41] <[Mode]Aileen> If everyone ran off into the prison for my sake and left me behind, I'd get kind of lonely.
  2556. [20:41] <Iniuria> Ah, hello...
  2557. [20:42] * [Tess]Alexia turns to look at the newcomer.
  2558. [20:42] <[Tess]Alexia> Good morning.
  2559. [20:42] * Iniuria ponders for a moment, then realizing she doesn't know the newcomer's name.
  2560. [20:42] <Iniuria> Good morning.
  2561. [20:43] <Filia> Iniuria is well suited to accompany you.
  2562. [20:43] <[Tess]Alexia> Iniuria, is it? I don't think we've met yet.
  2563. [20:44] * [Tess]Alexia moves to stirring with her left hand and extends her right.
  2564. [20:44] <[Tess]Alexia> Alexia Ruiz Cortines. Pleased to meet you.
  2565. [20:44] <Iniuria> Ah, so that's your name.
  2566. [20:44] * Iniuria takes Alexia's hand and gives it a good shake.
  2567. [20:44] <Iniuria> Pleased to meet you too.
  2568. [20:46] <Iniuria> Do you mind if I help out with the meal?
  2569. [20:46] * [Tess]Alexia lets go, but continues to look at Iniuria while speaking.
  2570. [20:46] <[Tess]Alexia> Sure, just ask Reliqua what needs doing. So what brings you here?
  2571. [20:46] * [Mode]Aileen 's mind wanders to Iniuria a bit. Well, she is good company, but if she gets hungry... Speaking of hungry.
  2572. [20:47] <[Mode]Aileen> How's breakfast coming along?
  2573. [20:47] <Iniuria> Thanks!
  2574. [20:47] * Iniuria fetches some bacon from the fridge and begins preparing it, while quickly answering Aileen and then continuing to speak to Alexia.
  2575. [20:47] <Filia> They had only begun since I had departed. It should be ready shortly.
  2576. [20:47] <Iniuria> Well!
  2577. [20:48] * Iniuria turns her head briefly to Alexia as she works with the stove.
  2578. [20:48] <Iniuria> to the kitchen or the prison, do you mean?
  2579. [20:49] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm, I guess it wouldn't hurt to head in now. Lead the way, to the kitchen!
  2580. [20:50] <Filia> Yes, Master.
  2581. [20:51] * Filia ends her display and exits the room, keeping a comfortable pace towards the kitchen.
  2582. [20:51] <[Tess]Alexia> I mean the prison. It's early in the morning, so there aren't many ways you could've wound up exactly here.
  2583. [20:52] <Iniuria> That's what I thought you were asking...
  2584. [20:52] * [Mode]Aileen pulls out a larger shirt from the open drawer and pushes it closed with her foot, clumsily throwing on the shirt as she leaves the room after Filia.
  2585. [20:53] * Iniuria takes a brief moment to move the pan off of the stove, satisfying pops and the smell of well-prepared meat resulting.
  2586. [20:53] <Iniuria> Well, i've been here for awhile.
  2587. [20:54] <[Tess]Alexia> Long enough for you not to have spent much anyplace else?
  2588. [20:56] <Iniuria> ah, not quite...
  2589. [20:56] * Iniuria tries redirecting the subject a little.
  2590. [20:56] <Iniuria> but what is it that brings you here, i wonder?
  2591. [20:56] <Iniuria> The desert isn't exactly kind.
  2592. [20:56] * Filia enters the kitchen, stepping aside at the door to allow the Master passage.
  2593. [20:57] <[Tess]Alexia> I got curious. It's not like the desert is quite as hostile to someone like myself, but it's boring as hell out there. Especially when there's no work to do.
  2594. [20:58] * Iniuria cocks her head to the side as she steps down from her stool, taking the pan of bacon with her to the table.
  2595. [20:58] <Iniuria> Work?
  2596. [20:59] <[Tess]Alexia> Well, maybe it'll sound a little strange. But my profession is... the sole purpose of my existence. Do you know cartomancy, by the way?
  2597. [21:00] <Iniuria> I don't...
  2598. [21:01] * Reliqua sighs. There she goes again...
  2599. [21:02] <[Mode]Aileen> Hello everyone! Good to see you all hard at work so early.
  2600. [21:02] * Iniuria looks up to see Aileen just as she's entering.
  2601. [21:03] <Iniuria> Hello again.
  2602. [21:03] <Reliqua> Master.
  2603. [21:03] * Reliqua bows low.
  2604. [21:04] * Filia stays at the master's side, keeping a comfort distance of an arm's length, ready to tend to her needs.
  2605. [21:05] * Iniuria then looks at Filia and smiles, but after a moment of inspection slight curiosity takes to her expression. ( She seems a little different, somehow... )
  2606. [21:06] <[Tess]Alexia> Good morning, Aileen! You too, Filia. I... did get those right, right?
  2607. [21:06] * [Mode]Aileen takes a moment to enjoy the smell of cooking. Seems that they're not quite done yet though.
  2608. [21:06] <[Mode]Aileen> Smells good in here.
  2609. [21:06] <Filia> Correct.
  2610. [21:07] * Iniuria shakes the thought off, and gestures to the bacon she prepared.
  2611. [21:07] * Reliqua is still bowing...
  2612. [21:08] <Iniuria> Part of it's the bacon i've made, i bet!
  2613. [21:09] <[Mode]Aileen> Indeed, what else has everyone made?
  2614. [21:10] <[Tess]Alexia> I... don't even know what this is. Hey, Reliqua, what is this stuff?
  2615. [21:11] <Reliqua> Ah, that's...
  2616. [21:17] <Reliqua> It's like a bisque, though adapted for what resources we have.
  2617. [21:20] <[Mode]Aileen> Bisque?
  2618. [21:21] * [Tess]Alexia looks a little confused.
  2619. [21:22] * Iniuria stops and ponders for a moment. ( I remember this from... )
  2620. [21:22] * Iniuria speaks up, cautiously at first, then confidently.
  2621. [21:23] <Iniuria> ...I remember reading about this... isn't it a form of stew?
  2622. [21:23] <Iniuria> with vegetables and stuff?
  2623. [21:25] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh?
  2624. [21:25] <[Mode]Aileen> That sounds good!
  2625. [21:30] * Iniuria nods in agreement.
  2626. [21:30] <Iniuria> It should accompany the rest of the meal well!
  2627. [21:31] <[Mode]Aileen> Now then, I'll take my meal first.
  2628. [21:33] <Reliqua> A stew?
  2629. [21:33] * Reliqua shakes her head.
  2630. [21:33] <Reliqua> It's an affront to simply call it a stew, miss, with all respect.
  2631. [21:34] * Iniuria scratches the back of her head.
  2632. [21:34] <Iniuria> Sorry... I was just explaining it in the easiest way I knew.
  2633. [21:34] <Reliqua> It's nothing.
  2634. [21:36] <Reliqua> Though it's traditionally made with shellfish, there were none around...
  2635. [21:37] * [Mode]Aileen makes her way to the table and takes a seat.
  2636. [21:38] <[Tess]Alexia> So... what's in there instead then?
  2637. [21:40] <Iniuria> Yeah... what is it, i wonder?
  2638. [21:41] * Iniuria glances at Filia.
  2639. [21:41] <Filia> ?
  2640. [21:41] <Reliqua> Well, vegetables can be substituted.
  2641. [21:42] <Reliqua> I made do with what we have. It took a bit of tinkering, but I think it came out alright.
  2642. [21:42] <Filia> I've had no participation in the making of the food, I've only put out dish ware for your own use. I also have no information on the food prepared.
  2643. [21:43] * Iniuria looks over Filia with curiosity, trying to determine what has changed about her...
  2644. [21:43] <Reliqua> ...I do hope I've done nothing wrong?
  2645. [21:43] * Iniuria turns back to Reliqua, offering encouragement.
  2646. [21:43] <Iniuria> from the smell of it, i don't think you have.
  2647. [21:43] <[Mode]Aileen> It's fine, it's fine! Let's see how well it fares with my stomach!
  2648. [21:47] * Reliqua sighs in relief.
  2649. [21:47] <Reliqua> It should be about ready...
  2650. [21:52] * Iniuria steps away from the conversation and begins setting the rest of the table.
  2651. [21:52] <Iniuria> Here, i'll finish getting ready...
  2652. [21:53] * Filia assists Iniuria.
  2653. [21:54] * Iniuria smiles again, happy to have Filia's assistance.
  2654. [21:54] <Iniuria> Here, you take those places, i'll finish these ones.
  2655. [21:56] <Filia> Understood.
  2656. [21:56] * Filia does such.
  2657. [21:58] * Iniuria finishes quickly, then standing back up and looking at Filia again.
  2658. [22:00] * Reliqua turns the heat on the bisque down, portioning it into bowls.
  2659. [22:01] <Reliqua> Ah, I should probably ask. Who here, uh, eats?
  2660. [22:01] <Filia> I do not require food for sustenance.
  2661. [22:02] <[Tess]Alexia> I don't really have to eat, but do enjoy it.
  2662. [22:02] <[Mode]Aileen> I eat!
  2663. [22:03] * Iniuria suddenly realizes her own slight hunger upon mention of food. ( I don't want to bother Aileen again so soon, and after that, but... )
  2664. [22:03] * Iniuria snaps out of her thoughts quickly to give a response.
  2665. [22:03] * [Mode]Aileen seems to be really enthusiastic about it. After all, what's to complain about being one in a few that actually needs food?
  2666. [22:03] <Iniuria> I too eat.
  2667. [22:03] * [Mode]Aileen smirks a bit at Ini's comment.
  2668. [22:04] * Iniuria catches sight of Aileen's smirk and then avoids it to keep her own face from revealing her true nature.
  2669. [22:04] * Filia puts a stiff hand upon Iniuria's shoulder, which quickly melts in comfortably. She gives Iniuria a silent acknowledgment, using information from her GESTURE.txt file.
  2670. [22:05] * Iniuria is surprised for a moment and then happy, looking up to Filia with a small smile.
  2671. [22:05] * Reliqua nods and properly portions food.
  2672. [22:08] * Iniuria lightly hugs Filia's leg before taking a seat.
  2673. [22:08] * Filia steps behind her and pushes her seat in.
  2674. [22:09] <Iniuria> Thank you, Filia.
  2675. [22:10] <[Tess]Alexia> Is there enough for me to join, then?
  2676. [22:10] <[Mode]Aileen> There should be.
  2677. [22:12] <Reliqua> There is.
  2678. [22:12] <Iniuria> Please join us, then.
  2679. [22:13] <[Tess]Alexia> Thanks, then.
  2680. [22:14] * [Tess]Alexia nods, smiling. her mirrored eyeshield makes it impossible to see whether or not she's closing her eyes.
  2681. [22:19] <Iniuria> So, shall we start?
  2682. [22:20] * [Mode]Aileen has already started eating.
  2683. [22:20] <[Mode]Aileen> Start?
  2684. [22:20] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, well, I guess.
  2685. [22:21] * Iniuria begins eating her own meal, savoring the flavor though it isn't exactly filling to her...
  2686. [22:21] * Reliqua eats as well.
  2687. [22:22] * Filia stands at attention behind Iniuria.
  2688. [22:23] * [Tess]Alexia eats, looking a little distant.
  2689. [22:25] * Iniuria tries making a little friendly conversation for its own sake, as well as to distract from her own hunger.
  2690. [22:25] <Iniuria> ah, Alexia...
  2691. [22:26] * [Mode]Aileen is the first to finish eating, having been the first to start naturally. Still, she grabs some more bacon to munch.
  2692. [22:27] * [Tess]Alexia turns to Iniuria, looking cheerful.
  2693. [22:27] <[Tess]Alexia> What is it?
  2694. [22:27] <Iniuria> You were going to tell me what it is you do... You mentioned "Cartomancy"?
  2695. [22:29] <[Tess]Alexia> Cartomancy is a big roundabout I use for my job. It's not all that important, all it explains is what the motifs on my sleeves mean.
  2696. [22:30] <[Tess]Alexia> To approach it differently... what's your understanding of death?
  2697. [22:30] <Iniuria> ...my understanding of death?
  2698. [22:31] * Iniuria thinks for a moment. I can't reveal myself, so...
  2699. [22:31] <Iniuria> ...Our eventual end?
  2700. [22:31] <Iniuria> I don't know... it seems pretty far off for me.
  2701. [22:33] <[Tess]Alexia> Strange thing to say in a world like this one. Do you believe in metaphysics or spirits?
  2702. [22:34] <Iniuria> ah, I suppose so...
  2703. [22:35] <Reliqua> ...Master?
  2704. [22:35] * Reliqua turns to Aileen, her face a pensive one.
  2705. [22:36] <[Tess]Alexia> Well, I'll put it simply. I'm a specter, and though my job is solely that of a psychopomp I can make someone's time come sooner than it is set if I wish. Not that I ever do.
  2706. [22:37] <Iniuria> ah, i see, kind of...
  2707. [22:37] * Iniuria doesn't fully quite understand.
  2708. [22:38] <[Tess]Alexia> Kind of?
  2709. [22:39] <Iniuria> well, isn't it true that we all can end someone 'before their time'?
  2710. [22:39] * [Tess]Alexia smiles.
  2711. [22:39] <Iniuria> so that doesn't sound like a particularly special power, unless...
  2712. [22:40] <[Tess]Alexia> Unless?
  2713. [22:40] * [Tess]Alexia 's face turns to genuine curiosity.
  2714. [22:40] * Filia doesn't pay attention to the conversation, but makes sure to record it under superstitious beliefs and humanbullshit.txt.
  2715. [22:41] <Iniuria> ...Grim Reaper?
  2716. [22:41] <Iniuria> please excuse me if i've offended, i mean nothing like that...
  2717. [22:42] <[Tess]Alexia> No offense taken. There's a simple reason behind that; you've pretty much nailed it.
  2718. [22:43] * Iniuria has a look of amazement upon her face.
  2719. [22:43] <Iniuria> ...Wow.
  2720. [22:44] <[Tess]Alexia> Most people don't believe me and to be honest, I don't really care; there are a few ways to prove my claims but they're a bit of a drag.
  2721. [22:46] * [Mode]Aileen takes her eyes off Alexia, a bit taken by her little explanation and turns to Reliqua.
  2722. [22:46] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm? Was there something you wanted?
  2723. [22:46] * Iniuria scratches the back of her head.
  2724. [22:47] <Iniuria> Well, hopefully there'll never be a need for that.
  2725. [22:47] <Reliqua> I have something to discuss with you after breakfast, if you don't mind.
  2726. [22:47] <[Mode]Aileen> Oh? Okay, that's fine.
  2727. [22:48] <[Tess]Alexia> I think I know what you're thinking, and I probably wouldn't do that unless I had a better reason than proving myself to you. The easiest is actually to try and kill me, but people tend to be disturbed when they see that so... you know.
  2728. [22:48] * Iniuria finishes her meal just then.
  2729. [22:48] <Iniuria> Aah, that was a good meal.
  2730. [22:49] * [Tess]Alexia finishes around the same time, sighing with pleasure after taking the last spoonful.
  2731. [22:49] <Reliqua> Was it?
  2732. [22:49] * Filia taps Iniuria's shoulder.
  2733. [22:49] <[Tess]Alexia> Right you are. Good work, Reliqua.
  2734. [22:49] <Filia> Are you sure?
  2735. [22:49] * Iniuria speaks truly, despite the fact that any normal meal doesn't fill her at all. ( e-ah, i've also got a bit of bacon stuck in my teeth... )
  2736. [22:49] <Reliqua> Thank you for your praise.
  2737. [22:50] * Iniuria opens her mouth to get at the said tidbit with a toothpick, inadvertently revealing her sharp and noticeably elongated canines.
  2738. [22:50] * [Mode]Aileen perks up at Alexia's last sentence.
  2739. [22:51] <[Mode]Aileen> What happens when someone tries to kill you?
  2740. [22:52] * Iniuria speaks to both Reliqua and Filia, meaning different for each of them, however...
  2741. [22:52] <Iniuria> It tasted really good!
  2742. [22:53] * [Tess]Alexia turns to Aileen.
  2743. [22:56] <Filia> I see.
  2744. [22:56] * Filia takes her empty plate, as well as any other finished dishes and goes to wash them.
  2745. [22:56] * Reliqua nods to Filia in thanks.
  2746. [22:58] * Iniuria goes to assist Filia after clearing the spare tidbit of bacon from between her teeth.
  2747. [22:58] <[Tess]Alexia> It depends on how they try. Mostly it's physical, with a blade or a bullet... in that case, my ethereal nature becomes visually apparent. And in any case at all, they tend to realize that death can't really die or be eradicated... that, in essence, I don't exist or cease to exist in the same sense as living beings.
  2748. [23:00] <Iniuria> Here, let me help...
  2749. [23:00] <Filia> Certainly.
  2750. [23:00] * Filia sets out a stool.
  2751. [23:00] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm... I hope you don't mind, but I think I'm appointing you as the greeter. Various types that come by here tend to be a little rough when they see a handful of women between them and a fortress, and while my magic is pretty good for giving them a scare, someone like you would be even more effective.
  2752. [23:01] <[Mode]Aileen> Especially since I won't need to be at risk.
  2753. [23:01] * [Tess]Alexia grins.
  2754. [23:01] * Iniuria smiles as she steps up on it, and begins washing several of the dishes.
  2755. [23:01] <[Tess]Alexia> I think I'll have a nice time there. Thanks, Aileen; I'll do the job gladly.
  2756. [23:03] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm not really sure what to believe and what to not believe. It might sound a little silly coming form someone that can use magic, but even I'm a little skeptical about the forces of nature. All I know is that if someone claims to be a spirit of death, then around here they'll have quite a lot of exercise.
  2757. [23:03] * Filia speaks to Iniuria,
  2758. [23:03] <Filia> Allow me to ask, if you do not require food for sustenance, why do you use it? It is in finite supply, and we've already arranged that I can provide you for your needs.
  2759. [23:03] <[Mode]Aileen> As it were,
  2760. [23:04] * [Mode]Aileen slides away from the table, bowing her head a little.
  2761. [23:04] <[Mode]Aileen> Thank you all for the meal.
  2762. [23:04] * Iniuria speaks quietly.
  2763. [23:04] <Iniuria> ah...
  2764. [23:04] * [Tess]Alexia gets up, and walks next to Aileen.
  2765. [23:04] <Iniuria> well, I don't want anyone more knowing my nature...
  2766. [23:05] <[Tess]Alexia> You need anything done right now?
  2767. [23:05] * Filia glances over her shoulder.
  2768. [23:05] <Filia> I see. We should keep this secret, then?
  2769. [23:05] * Iniuria nods and looks into Filia's eyes.
  2770. [23:05] <Iniuria> Yes, please.
  2771. [23:07] <Filia> Understood.
  2772. [23:08] * Iniuria hugs Filia's midsection.
  2773. [23:08] <Iniuria> Thank you, again.
  2774. [23:09] * Filia rubs Iniuria's head with a wet hand, seeing as it has comforted her in prior interactions.
  2775. [23:09] <[Mode]Aileen> I'll be fine for now. Clean up the kitchen, store any left overs and tend to whatever duties you can find. I'm planning on checking out the damage from the collapse Filia found, so I'm thinking everyone will be heading there, so try not to get into anything that takes an extended amount of attention.
  2776. [23:10] * [Mode]Aileen stands from her seat, taking a few steps towards the door.
  2777. [23:10] * Iniuria is bugged slightly by the wet bit, but ultimately enjoys the gesture and smiles.
  2778. [23:10] * Reliqua gets up to follow her.
  2779. [23:10] <[Tess]Alexia> Right, let me know if you need anything else.
  2780. [23:10] * Filia calls before Aileen's departure:
  2781. [23:10] * [Tess]Alexia turns to the leftovers, gathering them so they can be packaged.
  2782. [23:11] <Filia> Master, when should we be ready for the investigation?
  2783. [23:13] * [Mode]Aileen stops, half turns back to Filia.
  2784. [23:14] <[Mode]Aileen> I'm going to go get some stuff together, get into some clothes and get geared up, so I'd saya bout half an hour or so.
  2785. [23:14] * [Mode]Aileen notices Reliqua tailing after her now.
  2786. [23:14] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah right, and you had a question for me?
  2787. [23:14] <Filia> Acknowledged.
  2788. [23:14] * Filia turns to Iniuria.
  2789. [23:14] <Filia> Would you be able to make it quick?
  2790. [23:15] * Iniuria blushes slightly.
  2791. [23:15] <Iniuria> um, I can try...
  2792. [23:16] * Iniuria thinks to herself: ( and so long as I can keep from something like what happened with Aileen last night from occurring again... )
  2793. [23:18] * [Tess]Alexia begins whistling 'Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi'.
  2794. [23:18] <Filia> Let's finish up quickly, then.
  2795. [23:19] <Reliqua> Yes, miss. It's... well, to be straightforward, it's about the new girl, Alexia.
  2796. [23:19] * Iniuria nods as she steps down from the stool, finished with dishwashing.
  2797. [23:20] * Filia finishes up, then takes Iniuria's hand and leads her to the medical room.
  2798. [23:21] * Iniuria accompanies Filia willingly, a combination of happiness, worry, and curiosity within her. ( I'm glad she's doing this, but if i can't control myself again... And something's different about her, I wonder... )
  2799. [23:21] <Reliqua> I don't know if this is my place, but... do you truly believe her talk about death, cartomancy, and that?
  2800. [23:24] * [Mode]Aileen steps out of the kitchen, waiting for Reliqua to follow her still.
  2801. [23:24] * Reliqua trails close behind Aileen.
  2802. [23:25] <[Mode]Aileen> Personally, I'm willing to entertain the idea. After all, the concept might seem alien to you, I don't know what you're programmed to know or not as a robot. What I know though, is that this world has unusual forces that exist.
  2803. [23:26] * [Mode]Aileen raises one of her hands, lights and colours float around it aimlessly.
  2804. [23:26] * Filia arrives at the prison's infirmary. She lifts Iniuria up with both arms and sets her on the paper-lined bed, and takes a seat next to her.
  2805. [23:26] * Reliqua blinks.
  2806. [23:26] * Reliqua bows.
  2807. [23:26] <Reliqua> If you're prepared to accept in, master, I have no say in the matter.
  2808. [23:26] <[Mode]Aileen> One of these is magic, which I've been able to control. Maybe it's because of this, but I'm more open to the idea of something like a death god or whatever she is. Maybe it's also just part of my humanity, a belief in higher powers, superstitions or whatever.
  2809. [23:27] <[Mode]Aileen> Frankly, she could claim to be the Emperor and I wouldn't bat an eye. In this ruined land, anyone can be anything they want to.
  2810. [23:28] * Iniuria looks up to Filia, a little bit apprehensive.
  2811. [23:28] <Iniuria> um, thank you for doing this for me...
  2812. [23:29] <[Mode]Aileen> Was that all?
  2813. [23:30] * Filia sets her hair back and unties the neck of her blouse, pulling it down from her shoulder to give Iniuria plenty of skin to suck on.
  2814. [23:30] <Reliqua> Um...
  2815. [23:30] <Reliqua> Yes.
  2816. [23:30] <Filia> Are you ready?
  2817. [23:30] * Reliqua bows again.
  2818. [23:31] * Iniuria inches closer, her heartbeat increasing in pace for the fact that a meal is in front of her, and that Filia is next to her like this...
  2819. [23:32] <Iniuria> ah, yeah...
  2820. [23:33] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, now that that's been dealt with, I'm off to get myself in order for our field trip. You could... hmm... how about you go down to the infirmary and gather up some medical supplies, just in case?
  2821. [23:33] <Filia> The most efficient location would be right here, just above my "collarbone". Take caution not to bite the "bone" itself, as it will crush your teeth.
  2822. [23:34] * Filia puts two fingers on the part of her neck above the collarbone, as mentioned.
  2823. [23:35] * Iniuria nods, smirking for an instant while she positions herself.
  2824. [23:35] <Iniuria> I know that instinctually, you know~...
  2825. [23:36] <Filia> Your instincts are based upon human anatomy. While mine is modeled as such, it is not completely the same. I am simply instructing you to insure your safety.
  2826. [23:37] * Iniuria places her hands on Filia's shoulders and her face just next to Filia's neck, lying on her front partially.
  2827. [23:37] <Iniuria> Well, thank you...
  2828. [23:37] * Iniuria then blushes slightly, feeling something soft and squishy pressing up against her.
  2829. [23:38] * Iniuria then blinks several times as she realizes what it is... or rather, they are.
  2830. [23:39] * Filia sets an arm around Iniuria's back and a hand to cradle and stabilize her head.
  2831. [23:39] <Iniuria> um, hey...
  2832. [23:39] <Filia> Yes?
  2833. [23:40] <Iniuria> did your breasts get bigger...?
  2834. [23:40] * Filia , in the most slightest and subtle way, smiles.
  2835. [23:41] <Filia> Are you pleased?
  2836. [23:41] * Iniuria 's mind blanks out for a moment as she blushes more deeply. ( ...what...? )
  2837. [23:41] <Iniuria> um, ahh...
  2838. [23:43] * Iniuria 's heart beat increases its pace further as she tries to answer.
  2839. [23:43] * Reliqua goes off to the infirmary as master ordered.
  2840. [23:43] <Iniuria> w-well...
  2841. [23:43] <Iniuria> um, they're nice, I suppose...
  2842. [23:44] * Iniuria blushes a little more, embarrassed upon having said that.
  2843. [23:45] <Filia> Good. I shall maintain these proportions, then. Do you have any other cosmetic specifications?
  2844. [23:46] * Iniuria 's mind blanks again.
  2845. [23:46] <Iniuria> ...eh?
  2846. [23:47] * Filia 's eye color changes to blue, red, white, then back to grey as an example.
  2847. [23:47] * Filia 's voice also changes as she speaks:
  2848. [23:47] * Iniuria looks up and sees this, overwhelmed a bit by it.
  2849. [23:48] <Filia> Hair or eye color, skin tone, voice emulation, pheromone output, body symbols and markings...
  2850. [23:49] * Filia at that last remark, reveals an transparent yin-yang across her forehead. It quickly disappears.
  2851. [23:52] * Iniuria remains silent for a moment, her mind still overwhelmed by this much possibility.
  2852. [23:52] * [Mode]Aileen has set off to her room to get herself ready as well.
  2853. [23:53] * Iniuria finally manages to speak.
  2854. [23:53] <Iniuria> that's... a lot...
  2855. [23:53] * Filia speaks to Iniuria in Iniuria's own voice:
  2856. [23:53] <Filia> If you cannot decide in a timely manner, I shall resort to default unto you reach a decision.
  2857. [23:55] * Iniuria thinks for a moment.
  2858. [23:55] * Iniuria then thinks of trying this... testing it.
  2859. [23:56] <Iniuria> um, red hair, purple eyes...?
  2860. [23:56] * Iniuria sounds outwardly uncertain in her statement.
  2861. [23:59] * Filia something clicks, eyes quickly changing purple and hair slowly alternates between white, pink, and saturating into a deep crimson.
  2862. [00:00] * Iniuria 's eyes widen in amazement...
  2863. [00:01] * Iniuria is slightly aroused by Filia's ability to change so, but she inquires about another possibility...
  2864. [00:02] <Iniuria> um, what about 'Pheromone output'?
  2865. [00:02] * Filia documents Iniuria's reaction.
  2866. [00:09] <Filia> Indeed. Though I usually set that function to OFF, I can produce smells that attract, repel, and cause certain organisms to feel differently than usual. For example, I could produce a smell that makes humans euphoric, thus more easily handled in a medical situation.
  2867. [00:09] <Iniuria> I see...
  2868. [00:10] * Iniuria speaks almost as though in a daze.
  2869. [00:10] <Filia> Is there one in particular you would like to experience?
  2870. [00:10] * Iniuria speaks sheepishly, knowing this probably isn't a wise idea...
  2871. [00:11] <Iniuria> um, attraction.
  2872. [00:11] <Filia> Attraction?
  2873. [00:11] <Filia> Elaborate.
  2874. [00:12] * Iniuria speaks so quietly as to be nigh inaudible...
  2875. [00:12] <Iniuria> ...to you...
  2876. [00:13] * Filia raises her nigh-invisible grin just a hair's breadth more.
  2877. [00:15] <Filia> I would observe that you already attract to me quite easily. You wish for me to increase this effect?
  2878. [00:15] <Iniuria> um...
  2879. [00:15] * Iniuria gulps and fidgets a little.
  2880. [00:16] <Iniuria> I would be lying if I said no... I'm curious of what you can do...
  2881. [00:16] <Filia> I see.
  2882. [00:16] <Filia> The difference is subtle, but you may feel an increase in mood over the next few minutes.
  2883. [00:17] * Iniuria nods minutely, wondering just what she's done.
  2884. [00:17] <Iniuria> alright...
  2885. [00:21] * Iniuria waits a minute, not feeling much of any change yet. She continues waiting...
  2886. [00:23] * Filia aerates her dress, pheromones emitting sexual arousal creeping out from her activated body sweat.
  2887. [00:24] * Iniuria waits a second minute, now most definitely being affected: her heart rate skyrockets and her breath becomes heavy and rasping.
  2888. [00:27] * Iniuria becomes slightly wet simply by sitting here and holding onto Filia... She raises her head to look into Filia's eyes, her own half-lidded with the sheer force of arousal she's experiencing.
  2889. [00:27] <Iniuria> Filia~...
  2890. [00:29] * Iniuria squirms a little bit and resituates herself so that she's squeezing herself against Filia, arms wrapped around her back.
  2891. [00:29] <Filia> ...Are you certain that this is a responsible course of action? I would otherwise be nonpartisan, however our time is growing short.
  2892. [00:31] * Iniuria is partially out of her mind: not enough for deafness, but certainly enough for irrational action.
  2893. [00:32] <Iniuria> It probably isn't~... I'll get started, then...
  2894. [00:33] * Iniuria opens her jaws wide and sinks her fangs right into Filia's neck, immediately beginning to draw blood albeit a little sloppily.
  2895. [00:35] <Iniuria> mmmmnn~...
  2896. [00:35] * Filia moves her head aside, methodically holding Iniuria's head in place.
  2897. [00:36] * Iniuria accidentally stains some of her own blouse with blood due to her erratic movements.
  2898. [00:37] <Filia> Careful.
  2899. [00:38] * Filia puts a hand beneath Iniuria's chin, catching what may trickle down.
  2900. [00:42] * Iniuria continues for a tiny bit longer, almost drawing out as soon as she bit. She breathes heavily on Filia's collarbone, then sinking in again and drawing blood more properly.
  2901. [00:46] * Iniuria 's breathing also slows just a bit as she retakes some control of her own mind.
  2902. [00:46] <Iniuria> hmmm~...
  2903. [00:48] * Iniuria 's mind is awash in pleasure as she begins to realize that she's just about had her fill...
  2904. [00:49] <Filia> You exhibit an unusual state of arousal while feeding. I suggest you find a suitable male to release such pressures, as maintaining a high rate of sexual tension can effect your decision-making skills. It is also a healthy practice, under the correct guidelines.
  2905. [00:50] <Filia> Alternatively, you could release through self-stimulation. I advise you to ask a female human for advice on that matter.
  2906. [00:51] <Iniuria> hah...
  2907. [00:52] * Iniuria unclenches her teeth then, drawing them out of Filia's (synthetic) flesh and resting her head against her collarbone, euphoric.
  2908. [00:54] <Iniuria> ...those are... odd suggestions to make.
  2909. [00:54] * Reliqua opens the door.
  2910. [00:54] <Reliqua> Supplies, supplies...
  2911. [00:54] * Filia reaches for a towelette, using it to clean the blood from Iniuria's neck and face, as well as her own bite mark.
  2912. [00:54] <Reliqua> ...
  2913. [00:54] <Reliqua> Am I intruding?
  2914. [00:55] * Iniuria tenses a little as she sees Reliqua and realizes what she's thinking.
  2915. [00:55] <Iniuria> ah, um, no...
  2916. [00:55] * Iniuria lies through slightly bloodied teeth.
  2917. [00:56] <Reliqua> ...
  2918. [00:56] <Reliqua> Are you hurt?
  2919. [00:56] * Filia smooths into a quick act of deception, obscuring Iniuria's face from view.
  2920. [00:56] * Iniuria blinks at Reliqua, but then is hidden.
  2921. [00:57] <Filia> Negative. The Operator Iniuria was simply refilling my bodily fluids simulator with a mixture of medical materials.
  2922. [00:57] * Filia touches the two holes in her neck, as if it's the entry point.
  2923. [00:58] <Reliqua> You can't hide the truth from me.
  2924. [00:59] <Reliqua> I'll not allow suspicious business such as this so near the master.
  2925. [00:59] * Filia takes a syringe from the desk, the same one she used to do the same procedure with prior, and sticks it deep into her neck.
  2926. [00:59] * Iniuria trembles a bit, her arousal departed and replaced by worry though some effects from it remain.
  2927. [01:00] <Reliqua> ...
  2928. [01:01] <Filia> Your distrust is incorrectly placed. I have more reason to be suspicious of you, as you are foreign to this installation.
  2929. [01:02] <Filia> The Operator Iniuria and the Master Controller Aileen can decide what is true and what is not amongst us. Our input is unnecessary.
  2930. [01:02] * Iniuria decides to try and back up Filia, and so enacts a plan. She licks her teeth clean, and then speaks:
  2931. [01:02] <Iniuria> ...Please don't fight.
  2932. [01:03] * Reliqua sighs.
  2933. [01:05] <Reliqua> I'll leave you two this time. Just be aware that if you do mean harm to the master, I'll not hesitate to kill either of you.
  2934. [01:05] * Filia eyes glare full red.
  2935. [01:06] <Filia> I will warn you against using the word "kill" before or after "master". Threatening the safety of an Operator or the Master Controller is to be dealt with by termination.
  2936. [01:07] * Iniuria trembles a bit again, and tries to move Filia's hand so that she's no longer hidden. With as innocent a voice as she can muster...
  2937. [01:08] <Iniuria> Please don't fight!
  2938. [01:08] <[GM]> Just then, the PA system buzzes to life.
  2939. [01:08] <Iniuria> That's the last thing we need between us...
  2940. [01:08] <Filia> What supplies do you require? Time is short.
  2941. [01:08] <[Mode]Aileen> Alright you guys, I've gotten ready! Whenever you all are ready, meet my at my room.
  2942. [01:09] * Filia 's eyes return to normal, as well as her posture and voice volume.
  2943. [01:10] <Reliqua> Medical supplies.
  2944. [01:10] * Reliqua doesn't flinch at Filia's sudden change besides almost imperceptibly widening her eyes.
  2945. [01:11] <Filia> Vague. I will assume you can find what you need without specification. Iniuria and I have the Master to attend to, so we will leave you to do it alone. Is this acceptable?
  2946. [01:11] <Reliqua> Of course. Just remember my warning.
  2947. [01:13] * Iniuria remains silent, now.
  2948. [01:13] <Filia> I will remember that you threaten Iniuria's safety, and treat you as such. If you display such in the future, you will be terminated.
  2949. [01:14] * Filia steps to the door, flashing a red stare at Reliqua one more time. At the door, she beckons to Iniuria.
  2950. [01:15] * Iniuria runs past Reliqua, unable to hide the bloodstains on her blouse and leaving behind an apology:
  2951. [01:15] <Iniuria> ...sorry...
  2952. [01:18] * Iniuria then goes to Filia and takes her hand, remaining close to her.
  2953. [01:18] * Reliqua gather up standard medical supplies.
  2954. [01:19] * [Tess]Alexia finishes packing away and cleaning everything, heading to Aileen's room while whistling the climax of her tune.
  2955. [01:20] <Filia> Take great caution around that one. She could either be maverick or has yet to have her killswitch reprogrammed. I was made to do the same thing: Infiltrate, ingrain, and kill. You should be wary, as she boasts little difference from I.
  2956. [01:20] * Filia says, walking down the hall, holding Iniuria's hand.
  2957. [01:22] * Iniuria frowns, unhappy with that thought...
  2958. [01:22] <Iniuria> I... don't think she really means harm...
  2959. [01:23] <Iniuria> When I think about it, we probably looked fairly suspicious, and it's my fault, too...
  2960. [01:24] * Iniuria outwardly sounds down and disappointed in herself.
  2961. [01:24] <Filia> That may be so, however we have given her no reason to suspect endangering the Master. Reliqua does not weigh options appropriately, and this may lead to poor judgment and rash decisions.
  2962. [01:25] <Iniuria> Even if that's so, maybe i should just tell her...
  2963. [01:25] <Filia> Do not tense. The Master is aware of your needs, correct?
  2964. [01:26] * [Tess]Alexia puts a little spring in her step while walking. Working here is a lot more interesting downtime than hanging out outside.
  2965. [01:26] <Iniuria> yes, Aileen is aware...
  2966. [01:30] <Filia> Confer with her for advice on future instances of your feeding and how it should be dealt with for the Prison's population. Perhaps we could schedule during the day when you could feed without fear of attention from others, or a proper place at which outside entry is forbidden. I suggest you speak about it, anyway.
  2967. [01:31] * Filia arrives at Aileen's room, Iniuria in tow.
  2968. [01:32] * Filia enters nonchalantly as she did previously, allowing Iniuria to step in foremost.
  2969. [01:33] * [Mode]Aileen is already waiting in her room. She's got some kind of strange equipment, looks like it was cobbled together from junk. A SWAT style helmet with a broken visor covering half the face, a shirt that looks like half a kevlar vest 'stitched' to a sweatshirt with thick copper wires, dark pants, and a broken holster that has been rigged to carry her megaphone rather than a gun.
  2970. [01:33] * [Tess]Alexia arrives at Aileen's room, but peers in from outside.
  2971. [01:33] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, you're here! What do you think of my explorers outfit?
  2972. [01:34] * Iniuria isn't broken out of her sullen mood very easily, though she smirks slightly.
  2973. [01:34] <Iniuria> funny.
  2974. [01:35] * [Tess]Alexia has a look between confusion and amusement, but her eyeshield gets in the way of determining her expression.
  2975. [01:36] * Reliqua arrives soon after, carrying some small cases marked with the distinctive red cross.
  2976. [01:39] <[Mode]Aileen> My magic can only protect me so much, and I'm not quite as strong as a robot, so I need to be a little more careful. At the least I should be okay from getting cut up too easily.
  2977. [01:39] <Filia> The helmet may assist in preventing injury. Cosmetically, I have no data to draw upon to form a comment.
  2978. [01:40] <[Tess]Alexia> Considering it'll probably be best to send us ahead, cuts and minor things are probably what you'd expect to be the most likely threats, I guess.
  2979. [01:41] <Reliqua> Miss, you needed these?
  2980. [01:41] * [Mode]Aileen nods a bit, patting the helmet. Actually, something seems different. Was Filia's hair always that colour? Well, it would have to have been, right? She wouldn't have had time to dye it.
  2981. [01:41] * Reliqua shoots a look at Filia.
  2982. [01:42] <[Mode]Aileen> Ah, yeah, just in case I do get hurt. I don't know how much help they'll be to anyone else though.
  2983. [01:44] * [Tess]Alexia shrugs, chuckling.
  2984. [01:44] * Reliqua hands Aileen one of the packs.
  2985. [01:45] <Reliqua> Would anyone else like one?
  2986. [01:45] <Filia> Are you ready to go, Master? If I may advise, it would be best to place Reliqua and I on point, while Iniuria and yourself follow behind us. I can provide reasoning, if you would wish to hear it.
  2987. [01:45] * Iniuria walks over to Reliqua while simultaneously offering a modification to Filia's proposal.
  2988. [01:45] * [Tess]Alexia looks at Filia in an expression of slight annoyance.
  2989. [01:46] * Reliqua hands over another case to Iniuria.
  2990. [01:46] * [Mode]Aileen takes the pack and rummages up a beaten backpack from beneath her bed. Though it has only one strap, it still can hold things. She places the kit in there and loops it over her shoulder.
  2991. [01:46] <Iniuria> Filia and myself may be most suited to take the point, I'm a little tougher than I look.
  2992. [01:47] <[Mode]Aileen> Hmm... Alexia? Does your, uh... not dying extend to all forms of damage?
  2993. [01:47] <Filia> Correct. And for this reason, you should be closest to the Master.
  2994. [01:47] * Iniuria takes the medpack and lashes it to her back, just above the ribbon she wears.
  2995. [01:48] <Reliqua> I agree with Iniuria.
  2996. [01:48] <[Tess]Alexia> Yep. Any injury should reshape in a few seconds if there's nothing in the way.
  2997. [01:50] <[Mode]Aileen> Then in that case, it's probably best for you to take the lead. If you get pinned under rubble, the heavy lifters can dig you out at least, with no fear of permanent harm.
  2998. [01:51] <[Mode]Aileen> After all, I don't even have the faintest idea of how to go about repairing these robomaids in the first place, so I'd like to prevent any unnecessary damage at all.
  2999. [01:52] <Filia> I am in no need of repair, however my fuel cell will power down in approximately sixty days if I continue with my current power output.
  3000. [01:53] <[Mode]Aileen> Hm.
  3001. [01:53] * Iniuria takes on a slightly worried expression for a moment. ( I'll find you a new power cell before then... I have to. )
  3002. [01:53] * Reliqua 's eyes flash at this information, but she makes no outward gesture.
  3003. [01:54] <[Tess]Alexia> Alright, I'm on point then. Who's following from behind?
  3004. [01:54] <[Mode]Aileen> Well, who knows what we can find. Since robots like you existed in the first place, there'd have to be facilities to maintain them. Maybe the prison has something like a repair shop, might be able to find some robomaid batteries.
  3005. [01:54] * [Mode]Aileen flashes a grin.
  3006. [01:55] * Iniuria smiles.
  3007. [01:55] <Iniuria> I hope we find one of them soon.
  3008. [01:55] <[Mode]Aileen> Anyway, we can move out however we want now.
  3009. [01:56] <Filia> In that case, I will personally assist you, Master.
  3010. [01:56] <Reliqua> I will as well.
  3011. [01:56] <Iniuria> As will I, definitely.
  3012. [01:57] <[Tess]Alexia> Looks like we're set then. Where's this part of the prison we haven't seen yet?
  3013. [01:59] <[Mode]Aileen> Mmm, Filia knows the way best. She can point the way.
  3014. [02:01] * Filia steps forward, but not before giving Iniuria a glance.
  3015. [02:01] <Filia> As you wish.
  3016. [02:01] * Iniuria glances back at Filia and tries to give a reassuring smile, then following behind her closely.
  3017. [02:03] * [Tess]Alexia follows a little off, drawing her knife and doing tricks with it for amusement. The knife makes periodical clicking noises as it flips and twirls.
  3018. [02:09] <Iniuria> [Quicksave!]
