DBL - Mechi, Caz, Shaie

[2019-09-29 21:59] [user]Mechikaboola[/user]: Violet clouds were alit with crimson lightning cackling thunder and crackling painfully across the sky over the Dark Zone of the Void Nexus. Just beyond the main mass of fragmented Demon Realm land were smaller masses, one standing apart from others and riddled with corruption in the form of an entangled black tree that crafted itself into a tower of sorts. It was hollow within, as multiple vines created this monstrosity and pulsed, shifting with energy as it designed its own interior walls, from passageways to rooms and other such corridors.

It was here at the topmost point where an observation look out poked up from beyond the wickedly draped branches, ash-gray and lavender leaves bristling among the crimson-eyed creatures that roosted beyond. The massive untrained bat-like monsters currently acted as residing guardians, and paid no mind to the bone-like structure of a platform with lilac tinged crystal lens protruding from a magnificent telescope, complete with a mixture of magical and technological equipment of beeps and boops, clinks and chinks for recording data.

[color=red]"Part of roaming this imprisoning world so freely is understanding the who is who of matters. I cannot account for what magical jostle has occurred within your mind, but I can remedy it with a few simple lessons. If this doesn't work, perhaps a more [i]invasive procedure[/i] will be required."[/color] The elder demon's wrinkles highlighted the flux of overhead lightning, the Triple Spires of the Dark Zone gathering and drawing forth lashing strikes, which seemed to correlate with a soft glow of a crimson sphere, which shuffled through images.  [color=red]"This is important, as I will not tolerate a lack of knowledge to the point such ignorance is costly when information is to be repeated. Is this understood?"[/color]

[2019-09-29 22:17] *[user]Shaie[/user] - The slender figure garbed in a floundering white dress was prostrated on one knee before the weathered old demon. Listening to those words that drilled into her ears, a voice charged with the immense power of a true ruler making her feel like she was pressed down onto the ground. Even then, however, Shaie persisted in not showing any physical sign of discomfort. Even as her knee dug into the platform. Even as cold sweat broke out, pouring over her neck and back, she made sure that her composure was not broken. Because she could not permit herself to look unsightly before this man.

She had already committed a blunder, unknowingly. In her eagerness to reprise her work, she had permitted herself to be exposed to no small amount of danger, and moreover she had allowed herself to be willfully ignorant. Was it because she had forgotten? Her, forget the words of her Dark Lord? In that case, she could only submit to whatever he planned. Her loyalty and gratitude were some of the things that she would never forget.

Shaie zoned out all ambient smells and sounds, the mechanical sounds in the background creating no ripples in the sea that was her consciousness that was only stirred by the words of Lord Mechikaboola before her. With her head bowed, her silvery white hair framed her face, a long braid trailing down along her shoulder to pool on the ground, though neither her hair or her white dress showed any sign of smudging, as though any impurity or imperfection was magically repelled from her being, maintaining a sense of neatness no matter what.

[color=red]"It is as my Lord says, this one's ignorance has caused you trouble."[/color] The moment the gathered energy struck to make images, Shaie raised her head to burn them into her retinae, the pupils sitting at the centre of her crimson eyes contracting. [color=red]"I understand and comply. I will submit to any procedure my Lord wishes to perform on me."[/color] If pain or having her mind forcibly rearrange would quell this man's anger at her malfeasance then that would be a small price to pay.
[2019-09-29 22:19] [user]Shaie[/user]: forcibly rearranged*
[2019-09-29 22:29] *[user]Cazuall[/user] had kept to himself for the most part ever since his run-in with Shroom. It was too dangerous to do anything fun around West City ever since that other demon showed up with her pet and nuked a chunk of the city... Today though Shaie was speaking with Lord Mechikaboola... and the frost demon had been invited along. He stood off to the side and out of the way, but he was watching intently. More focused on Shaie right now though since what happened had caused... issues... After all, Lord Mechikaboola was "kind" enough to release them from their respective prisons. He didn't want to cause undue trouble for him.
[2019-09-29 22:32] [user]Shalloh[/user]: [color=cyan]Location: Zone 6, Badlands[/color]

Whoooooosh....

All was silent, save for the sound of the wind washing away the dust and debris, stripping the already-barren land down to its red, stony core. And yet the wind dared not blow through one Saiyan girl, almost as if it feared the raging tempest within her heart.

Yeah. This shit was about to get hella noisy, wasn't it?

Standing atop a reasonably-sized mesa, Shalloh faced a part of the land that had already been suitably blasted, by other super-powered warriors who had come and gone from this battlefield. [color=orange]"This time,"[/color] she muttered under her breath, fists clenched at her side. [color=orange]"This time it ends! This time I'll make your power my own! This time... I won't succumb to your control over me! Never again! This is the end for you!"[/color]

There was no reply.

Well, obviously not. There was no one else [b]there.[/b] She was very pointedly talking to herself. And yet, in a sense, she wasn't. As far as she was concerned, the person she became when that violent rage took over, literally [b]wasn't her.[/b] And she was determined to end that person's existence, so she could harness her true potential and do so without losing control of who she was. But in order to make that happen, she of course still had to fight.

Fight herself, that is.

The earth shook as she began powering up, the mesa she stood atop eroding as her energy surged. She'd done this enough by now that, as sick to her stomach as the idea made her, she knew just how far she could go before things got shaky. She knew just where the line was between her own ego, and that wall of infinite, burning rage.

And she was going to take a sledgehammer to that wall, one swing at a time, until there was nothing left.

Once again, her body swelled up, bulking out in order to contain the sheer power overflowing from within her, that long, flowing hair turning a vibrant shade of green. But this time, she had a plan. She'd push right up to the edge of that wall, and then take a slow, measured step over the line. It was like slowly turning the knob on the faucet to the left, letting the water heat up, and standing in its flow until the heat was bearable, in pursuit of maxing out the water's temperature. Only in this situation, the heat came from within, from Shalloh's repressed emotions. Each time it became too much to bear, she'd back off and let herself calm down before pushing again and again, determined to unleash the true potential inside her.
[2019-09-29 22:46] [user]Mechikaboola[/user]: [color=red]"You will present yourself to Fu, [i]properly[/i] next time. The lad is having issue enough with his own subordinates, and your family has yet to prove yourselves of this generation."[/color] Crimson pinpoint gaze settled to Shaie beyond onyx holdings, gaze pulsing in a sudden awkward silence. [color=red]"Of course you will comply and submit. Such things needn't be said, as it's a given. Rise."[/color] Ruby claws beckoned her to stand.

Images shown, flashed across that sphere.. [color=red]"So we will start easy. This is [icon]Towa[/icon] Towa, Queen of the Demon Realm and renowned scientist, a crafter of technological wonders and magic alike with a knack for mind control. Her husband and creation, [icon]Mira[/icon] Mira is indeed a King and an extraordinary combatant with no personality or remarkable traits of wit. Towa's elder brother, [icon]Demon King Dabura[/icon] Dabura is also a King of the Demon Realm, proper under myself and currently a General. He is the uncle of [icon]F u[/icon] Fu, heir to the Demon Realm and Dark Empire, Dark Prince and scientist extraordinaire. Thankfully he gets his personality from neither parents, Towa and Mira.. My main Demon Gods include [icon]Gravy Train[/icon] Gravy, user of the magic of storms, [icon]Pretty Putine[/icon] Putine, user of ice, [icon]Shroom[/icon] Shroom, master of souls who is on some weird vacation, [icon]Salsa[/icon] Salsa, user of wind magic and my apprentice. Others of note are [icon]Velte[/icon] Velte, Fu's subordinate who does something with flowers or plants and [icon]Experiment 7 heptus[/icon] Heptus, Fu's pet monstrosity. These are those to be aware of, know they rank above you and are to be respected and learned from."[/color]

He leaned upon his staff, hunched and hands clasping over one another atop his staff as the wind billowed its sulferous scent. [color=red]"Salsa is on leave gathering some data for me. But should return soon. He is honorable and will no doubt look to test himself against you both. Putine may seem quite innocent and sweet, but I assure you, she is just as deadly. Gravy is among my Generals when it comes to keeping the others in line. Shroom is quite erratic and known for slaughtering those who work with him out of boredom. Any questions?"[/color] His gaze lurked between the two siblings curiously.
[2019-09-29 22:48] *[user]Velte[/user] yawned as she stepped out of her greenhouse and nodded to one of the marionettes that were wandering about. The demoness started to slowly make her way toward the back end of Zone 3, where the palace of the Dark Empire could be seen. As she walked random, faint sparkles flew out of her hands and scattered onto the black sands of the area.
[2019-09-29 22:49] [user]Broly[/user]: [icon]Demon King Dabura[/icon] *sneezes aggressively*
[2019-09-29 22:49] *[user]Cazuall[/user] quirked an eyebrow when Velte's picture showed up... so that's who brought her pet into West City and destroyed it... Still for the moment he didn't say anything, only shaking his head when it was asked if there were any questions as he moved to stand beside his sister. It all seemed pretty straight forward for the moment.
[2019-09-29 23:15] *[user]Shaie[/user] felt a little sour deep inside. Ordinary people would have a hard time imagining just how hard it has been for her to speak this much. For someone who would rather slink away into a quiet corner to be confronted with such social pressure was nothing short of torture. Of course, she had committed a sin unto her Lord, so it was a punishment she deserved. But still! But still... Lord Mechikaboola was scary. People in general were scary. She counted herself fortunate she had taken classes on etiquette to know how she should comport herself in front of her superiors, or else her social anxiety would have made her botch that up, too! It's okay, she just had to keep her composure fully and roll with the punches when they came!

Nodding, Shaie was inwardly relieved when time for prostration was over, and she elegantly rose to her feet, maintaining her gaze upon the images that were being displayed one after the other. To be honest, she knew some of those faces. Lord Dabura she definitely was well aware of, similarly with other demons of the old guard. However, there were younger ones among them. Especially Fu she couldn't possibly have known. So that intrusive young lad was of royal blood?

Ahh, she messed up. She shrank aay from him and even told him to go away. Surely he wouldn't hold a grudge for that? She just wished she could go to work as soon as possible and let all troubles just flow away...

The next image that made her pupils contract was Shroom's, instantly recognizing him from what happened at that Earthling hospital. She said nothing, though. For all she knew, the soul harvesting was ordered by Lord Mechikaboola. Frankly, she didn't want to keep track of all this stuff. Still, next time she might have to apologize to Lord Shroom as well?

Ah, yes, questions. She had to ask a question, right? She must properly show her interest in the subject matter, yet she could not think of anything meaningful to ask. Her memory was actually rather good, you know. She could completely retain everything she reads and reproduce it verbatim, you see. Doubly so if the subject matter interested her. [color=red]"I have no further..."[/color] Suddenly, Shaie stopped mid-sentence, her expression growing slightly sharper as she realized something.

[color=red]"My Lord, do we Demons have an ongoing stake in this 'West City' place? From what I have seen, many of us have been active there."[/color] Even big brother seemed to be entertaining himself there. So that she would not commit another social faux pas in enemy territory, she felt she had to inquire.
[2019-09-29 23:29] [user]Mechikaboola[/user]: A smile far more chilling than either Putine or Cazuall could fathom crossed his features. [color=red]"Oh no, it's an amusing playground lush with entertainment, subjects, testing grounds and ripe for data when used to provoke [i]our dear neighbours[/i] properly. It's quite close to The Watch, which makes the suffering all the more beautiful. Our neighbours of The Watch consist of the Time Patrol, namely led by [icon]Chronoa o Clock[/icon] the Supreme Kaoishin of Time, my ex-underling [icon]Demigra[/icon] Demigrub and his Vanished Sect. They're foolish enough to think teaming together and with a bunch of mortals will stop me. It's quite amusing."[/color]

He settled back, old bones cracking with snapping joints as the shadows rose and swirled, taking off the encumbrance of standing by wrapping under the Dark King into a seat of darkness. [color=red]"By [i]many of us[/i], who all have you seen? Doing what?"[/color]

[2019-09-29 23:31] [user]Maize a Saiyan[/user]: [i]had been hearing about much of the stuff going on with Shalloh who had been apparently trying to master her Legendary form. If she and Shalloh were perhaps friend on another timeline, should she go check up on her? With a bit of a chin scratch, the Saiyan nerd left off while geared up... flying off on the hover cycle that Chronoa had gifted her. This way, she would lay low on power and noise while simply flying along the void skys.

After sometime, she turned to the mesas... very much due to the growing power level, only a fair bit familiar to her. She was a fair bit cautious as she got near what appeared to be the woman in question. She'd land near a mesa, pulling out a small box of things so that she could get a nice view of Shallohs back. If the Legendary woman were to ever turn back, she'd find Maize sitting upon the rocky surface while waiting for the water heater she brought to finish heating the water for a bowl of noodles. It was battery powered, Maizes design.[/i]

[2019-09-29 23:42] *[user]Shaie[/user] felt a little perturbed at this development. Of course, that was always how it was when it came to conversations. 'One thing leads to another' is pretty much how those can be summed up. Hearing Lord Mechikaboola's description of the Earthling city, Shaie felt some manner of ambivalence. She had no interest in the suffering of those insignificant Earthlings, or perhaps it was more precise to say she didn't care about it either way. About the city itself, though, she did have some affection. The library had been incredibly interesting; it was quite amazing what those short-lived creatures managed to accomplish. Honestly, she wanted to go back sometime, to read more books.

But that would have to wait. She didn't care to get embroiled in too much trouble; for now, she will have to make herself at home at the Writhing Tower it seemed. And as for the flow of conversation, Shaie took in the likenesses of the Supreme Kai of Time and also the man called Demigrub. Should she meet him in person sometime, should she refer to this person as 'Lord Demigrub'? Demon hierarchy was a tricky thing...  When she was asked the latter question however, Shaie imperceptibly flinched for an instant. Hoping she wouldn't cause her big brother trouble, her mind began to work overtime formulating an answer.

[color=red]"I met big broth...Cazuall there. Then, I encountered Fu-sama at the city library. This was shortly after a demon had destroyed a large part of the city, though I am not aware who was responsible. Also, I encountered Shroom-sama atop the City Hospital, gathering souls. This is all that I am aware of, my Lord."[/color]

[2019-09-29 23:45] [user]Ryoko Hamakawa[/user]: A streak of orange ki could be seen in the skies above Zone 6 as the young female by the name of Ryoko Hamakawa continues on her current course, taking in the sights and smells of her new surroundings while donning her regular top and inner shirt along with her skirt, boots, wristbands, and her trusty sword.

After learning about the current situation regarding the battle between the Time Patrol and the forces of the being known as Mechikaboola, Ryoko's current goal was clear. She had to become stronger in order to assist in the fight in what ways she could. And if she does and maybe gain the trust and approval of the Supreme Kai of Time, maybe she'll be able to pursue the true reason why she joined the Time Patrol...

However, first things first...

As she was flying over the area, her thoughts were grabbed by a sudden surge of energy. Feeling someone's ki signature rising, she looks in that direction, keeping herself in the air. She doesn't know who or what this is but at the same time, she didn't want to take any chances. With the hope that she was't making a mistake, she speeds over to whatever this was to get a better look.
[2019-09-29 23:46] *[user]Cazuall[/user] lifted a finger to join in on the conversation at that point. "The demon who attacked West City was Velte... but it wasn't her that did the damage it was some woman who was with her. She had red fur all over and a big tail... Once they showed up and blew up a chunk of the city it drew in people too powerful for me to deal with so I made a quiet exit. Those same people have hung around since then so I haven't been able to get back to what I was doing..." He was actually pretty impressed that the one had completely obliterated his summoned blizzard with a single burst of power...

[2019-09-29 23:56] [user]Mechikaboola[/user]: [color=red]"How interesting.."[/color] But what was interesting about their words? It was hard to say, small smile remaining as a hand rose, stroking his snowy beard. [color=red]"The furred one is a Saiyan, or more of note, a transformed Saiyan at the.. fourth stage, I believe. If you ever wish to weaken a Saiyan, remove their tail if they have one. Even grasping it can cause considerable pain and weakness, but removal takes away a portion of their ability. In their Ape form, it reverts them to a normal state. Ape form is when they become pretty much as large as buildings or bigger. Not all Saiyans are capable of such, just like not all have their tails. They are a warrior race of mortals, and quite curious. We have one on our side, [icon]Dark Saiyan Cumber[/icon] Cumber, who is aspiring to become their leader, or king. He has taken over one of the little kai's territories in the Mesmersnow region. As for the kai.. You may [i]play with her[/i] but her death is off limits. She is [i]reserved for me.[/i] Is that understood?"[/color]

[2019-09-29 23:58] *[user]Shalloh[/user] wasn't looking, at first. She needed ironclad focus to make sure she didn't flip out and start blasting wildly, [b]again.[/b] If she was going to draw all the attention in the whole bloody Nexus, she wanted to do it on her terms, [b]after[/b] she mastered the potential inside her.

Not today, though, it seemed, as she was [b]finally[/b] distracted enough by the presence of not one, but two Saiyans, sufficient enough for her to let her attention drift so far that her Legendary form slipped away, fading back into yellow. [color=yellow]"Crap... maybe I should start pushing further out?"[/color] Shalloh spun around and let herself relax a bit, her energy still elevated in her Super Saiyan form but also subdued enough that it could almost be considered welcoming. With a wave, she lifted herself up off what was left of the mesa and floated in the air, hair gently swaying in the breeze.

The first thing she saw was Maize, of course, but then there was that second energy... one totally unfamiliar to her. Who was that second stranger?
[00:00] [user]Kyo-KO[/user] has joined the channel.
[00:02] [user]Maize a Saiyan[/user]: [i]didn't bother to look as of yes, but at least she was wise enough to bring multiple bowls for this occasion just in case. The Saiyaness poured the hot water into a bowl of dry noodles, giving some time before she can stir the noodles about. She paused to look up at Shalloh, giving a smile to the woman as the other Saiyan would converge on their point. "Its been awhile, don't ya think?"[/i]
[00:05] *[user]Shaie[/user] wasn't interested in killing the Kai in the first place, so she had no reason not to simply nod at that request while she was still digesting the knowledge bomb of this curious race of fighting monkeys with the weird transformation powers. It wasn't like she could point fingers since she could transform into a big spider but that was neither here now there. Not presuming to understand what Lord Mechikaboola found interesting, Shaie was happy to simply maintain her silence. The image of Cunber however was also carefully committed to memory. So many new names and faces.

This guy looked smelly. She looked at his likeness and felt her nose itch. Was this some form of synaesthesia, perhaps? Either way, she would pass on getting anywhere near that thing. Ah, she wanted to get back to work, maybe carve a statue. Working with her hands was therapeutic; when she whittling away at stone with a point chisel it was like she was whittling away all of life's worries with it. When she worked metal into shape and quenched it, it was like she was quenching the thirst of her own soul... She wanted to craft!

Her eyes flitted momentarily to look in big brother's direction, somewhat relieved he wasn't called to the stand because of what she had said.

At any rate, she hoped a perfunctory reply would appease her Lord for now. [color=red]"Understood, my Lord."[/color]

[00:08] *[user]Cazuall[/user] also gave a respectful nod of his head toward Lord Mechikaboola. "Understood my lord." Well... so far so good it seemed.. neither of them were dead on the ground yet anyway so that was always a positive. The information about saiyans was filed away for later... grabbing tails huh? Perhaps freezing one off would be useful in the middle of a fight or something. Always more things to think and figure out but then again, Cazuall wasn't much the type to worry and plan ahead for the most part unless he found something particularly entertaining that is...
[00:08] [user]Ryoko Hamakawa[/user]: "A Super Saiyan..."
The young supposed Earthling looked on at the sudden display of power, closed in enough to see who was the source of the rising ki signature. At the same time, she saw that there was another in the area as well. From the looks of them both as well as the markers on their ki, they both were Saiyans.

[i]She would be lying if she denied how cute the both of them were...[/i]

You both, for the time being, will have access to the less private areas of the castle fortress. I expect to see some appropriate work from you two. And Cazuall.. Fine job on the blizzard. I suggest you go speak with Cumber about aiding the protection of his territory with a few spells to weed out the weak so they don't bother wasting his time with any challenges. Perhaps some ice aesthetics, you know, adorn the outside proper. Shaie, I want you to focus on a series of empowerment gems. Items that will increase their power when in proper proximity to one another."[/color]
[00:15] [user]Burian de Shato[/user] has joined the channel.
[00:18] *[user]Shalloh[/user] certainly wasn't thinking of herself as cute right now. She was still clearing her head at the moment, pushing out the leftovers of that white-hot rage she'd been tempering herself to withstand. Funny how once another person made their appearance, she immediately shifted back into her default "it's not safe" way of thinking. Perhaps that, too, was a part of the problem?

On the other hand, there is a certain, undeniable prudence to not [b]literally playing with fire[/b] in the presence of others. Especially friends... while she hadn't gotten to know "this" Maize as well as she'd like, she still carried with her a wellspring of emotions and memories... and the burden of guilt for how she'd wronged "her" Maize in the past. She'd be sure not to repeat that mistake here.

[color=yellow]"Y-yeah, guess it has been. I don't even remember the last time we talked, hahahaha..."[/color] She paid the noodles no mind so far, preferring to keep up politeness--since they were only mere acquaintances, it was improper to expect food to be shared!

[00:21] [user]Maize a Saiyan[/user]: [i]"If you want some have some." Nobody needed the ability to read minds to understand what a Saiyan is thinking. She held out her bowl toward Shalloh, still giving a calm smile to one who needed it most. "It'll do you no good if you try to train without eating." Not only that, the other Saiyan could use some food as well. She would still be kind enough to offer[/i]

[00:25] *[user]Shaie[/user] reached down to slightly lift the long skirt of her dress in an elegant curtsy. Somehow, when the discussion shifted towards telling her to craft, much of her nervousness and concern just drained away. [color=red]"It will be my pleasure, my Lord. Are there any specific properties or requirements that these gems must satisfy?"[/color] Now she was mulling over the various processes of gemcutting and refining, a certain excitement welled up in her eyes to the point that even her intense poker face was almost ready to crumble. It had been a quarter of a million years since she last had the chance to make something! Ohh, she was so ready. She just hoped that her imprisonment hadn't dulled her manual dexterity....
[00:26] [user]Ryoko Hamakawa[/user]: "Uhhh, excuse me?"

Seeing that they knew each other and remembering her manners, Ryoko slowly floats over to the two females and lands right next to them, "Sorry for intruding, I just couldn't help but come by after feeling that ki signature. Are you both part of the Time Patrol or just from... around here?
[00:28] *[user]Cazuall[/user] perked up a bit at the mention of the blizzard, a quiet little grin forming on his face. "Of course my Lord... I'll go pay him a visit soon then. Honestly I'm a little sad that the blizzard didn't last longer..." He motioned off to his side, the air next to him wavering and displaying an image of a pissed off looking Mirai Pan. "Once she showed up she gave off a single burst of power and dispersed the whole damn thing... what a waste of work... even if that power was pretty damn impressive..." Then he wiggled his hand and the image faded away.

[00:35] *[user]Shalloh[/user] kinda shrugged a bit. Well, this was awkward. [color=yellow]"Ahah, thanks, but I'm not..."[/color] She really hadn't been that hungry, and she'd made sure to eat before coming out here... and she definitely didn't mean to impose, or to act like she wanted some of what Maize was having. But now that she'd been offered, it was impolite to refuse... even if it made her feel bad! So she took a few slow, small bites, finishing up what was going to be her last when Ryoko conveniently came up to them! Yes! A distraction! Plausible deniability!

[color=yellow]"Uhh, well... where I'm from, you [b]don't[/b] just announce the existence of the Time Patrol, kinda against the rules. Regular folk aren't supposed to know about all that!"[/color] Awkward pause. [color=yellow]"But yeah, I guess I'm in. My name's Shalloh!"[/color]
[00:37] [user]Maize a Saiyan[/user]: [i]"Fortunately we're in a world where that doesn't really apply. I'm also in the Time Patrol, names Maize." She stated while holding up another bowl for the visiting Saiyan. "Whether you're friend or foe, hungry?" She asked softly, considerate even if the woman was allied with the demons. It would do no one good if they fought on empty stomachs[/i]
[00:39] [user]Mechikaboola[/user]: A slow shake of his head was made, keeping that smile as he rose to his feet with a popping of elderly spine and bony knees. [color=red]"Just that one, but feel free to [b]get creative[/b] however, be sure they work and present them with proper subjects of your choosing to demonstrate."[/color] That darkness rippled and escalated about him, forming to his shadow and sinking inward as proper for such ambient darkness.

[color=red]"Ah.."[/color] His gaze appraised that image of Mirai Pan. [color=red]"That is a Saiyan hybrid. I remember seeing footage of that one. There is a smaller one of herself, from another time before such an age. You would do well to perhaps practice against her. Fu has been toying with her potential as well. I suggest you both find others to test your wares and abilities with. Subjects are not limited even in this Nexus."[/color]

[00:41] [user]Ryoko Hamakawa[/user]: "AH! Sorry! Completely forgot! Totally friend. I'm fully aware of what's been happening around here. And yes, please." That said, she calmly takes the bowl of noodles before she blows on it and slurps up some in her mouth, "My name is Ryoko Hamakawa but... just call me by my nickname: Amber."
[00:46] *[user]Shalloh[/user] rolls her eyes. [color=yellow]"That makes at least one of us but no more than two. I feel friggin clueless around here. I'm just... training, I guess, while everyone tries to find a way out of here."[/color] Amber. Amber. That... that's gonna take some time to get her head around. Why choose a different name for yourself?

She did give a soft glance to Maize as she offered more of her soup, though. That kind of generosity... It was something to be admired above all else. Emblematic of the kind of spirit she strove to protect by becoming a warrior in the first place.

The kind of spirit she wished she could embody.

Too bad she knew better.

[00:49] *[user]Shaie[/user] faintly narrowed her eyes as she thought of the possibilities. Gems were precious for more reasons than simple rarity. They were excellent holders of magic. There was lots of 'space' for imbual, and if properly cut and inscribed, gems could unleash terrific powers. [color=red]"Magic resonance..."[/color] She spoke those words mostly to themselves. To create a series of gems that resonated with one another, supporting and improving each other's powers. A wide array of different elemental attributes and properties would then be best; if endowed with the same core inscription, the more varied the imbued powers, if carefully controlled with formulacraft, the more powerful the resonance effect would be. [color=red]"I am grateful for such an interesting project. By your leave, I shall begin immediately."[/color]

Shaie momentarily looked at the image of the young black-haired woman on screen. Boy, she looked quite angry indeed. Ugh, why did everyone have to get so angry about everything? Moreover angry people were annoying. Then again, when she saw how much of that prime 'playground' was blown up, she couldn't deny feeling some irritation herself. Think of all the books and art that was blown up. Ahh, now she was feeling mildly angry!

At any rate, she gazed at big brother Cazuall, quietly hoping he would not put himself in harm's way...
[00:50] [user]Shaie[/user]: mostly to herself*
[00:50] [user]Maize a Saiyan[/user]: [i]smiled at the woman who slurped up the bowl of NOODLES that is certainly not SOUP. Ramen noodles. Best noodles. "Welcome, Amber." She stated before looking back at her friend from a similar timeline. "Have you gotten any better at honing your legendary Super Saiyan form yet? If not, thats fine. I've only gotten a little stronger since then. One day, I'll be able to reach you and Galen."[/i]
[00:52] *[user]Cazuall[/user] blinked and grinned a little bit at that. "Oh? There's another one of her out there? Sounds like fun..." As Shaie prepared to leave, Cazuall gave a respectful bow of his own to Lord Mechikaboola. "By your leave then my lord... It sounds like I have a bit of work to get done..."
[00:52] *[user]Ryoko Hamakawa[/user] felt her heart flutter upon hearing the female use her nickname. There was a reason why she preferred it over her actual name. If anything, it was the only piece of her past that she had with her...

Though, her eyes perked up upon hearing Galen's name. They knew him too?

[00:58] *[user]Shalloh[/user] shook her head. [color=yellow]"I... think? It's like... it feels like I'm making progress, but the road ahead feels literally infinite. Like... no matter how much progress I make, it'll never be enough."[/color]
[00:59] [user]Mechikaboola[/user]: [color=red]"Of course, Shaie. Cazuall, make sure to give her one of those communication gems that I gave for each of your family, if you haven't already. I'm sure she could set it into something accommodating for herself."[/color] Mechikabura himself was on ready, darkness eating away at reality behind him, a sudden red portal opening and fissuring with violet and pink highlights of power. [color=red]"Oh indeed, various beings of various times, the same yet not. All varying potentials and powers. In other words, plenty of variety even with similarities."[/color] A nod of his head was offered, and into the portal he went.
