(4:08:59 PM) ***Reise adopts a hangdog expression as she is escorted from the area in War's building the guards had shooed her from.
(4:11:10 PM) Ikiryo1: The girl leading her isn't particlarly large, though the scar along her face shows she knows how to brawl. Dirty brown hair hangs down past her red helmet...
(4:12:00 PM) Reise: "So, like, are you *sure* we have to go this way? 'Cause nobody else seemed to have a problem from the other direction, like, before you all showed up..."
(4:12:53 PM) Ikiryo1: She blushes...and all of a sudden yanks Reise into a nearby broom closet.
(4:15:55 PM) Reise: The yelp that escapes her is entirely unfeigned, balance lost; she stumbles hard sideways, nearly falling but for running into her captor.
(4:16:53 PM) Ikiryo1: "I...I've never done this..." The girl stammers as she closes the door behind them...
(4:23:13 PM) Reise: "W-what?" Reise's voice isn't much better controlled. "Never done what? Like, just, kidnapped somebody, straight up?!"
(4:25:06 PM) Ikiryo1: "I...well..." She blushes brilliantly. "You are Reise!"
(4:26:43 PM) Reise: Her guts clench, but she keeps control. "...Tch!" She tosses her head, running a hand through her hair. "Yeah, like, duh! Why else would I say that I didn't have any trouble!"
(4:27:45 PM) Ikiryo1: "...I've see you at fashion shows! Well, videos of fashion shows...I've never been myself..."
(4:31:55 PM) ***Reise smiles in spite of herself. "I do look good in those, don't I~?" She strikes a little pose in the cramped confines of the closet. "Did you see the one with that blue dress by Voma?"
(4:33:20 PM) Ikiryo1: "I did, it looked SO good on you!" She nods several times. "D-Do you think I could ever be a model?"
(4:34:55 PM) Reise: She purses her lips, backing up as much as she can and giving her captor a blatant once-over...
(4:37:14 PM) Ikiryo1: ...she really wouldn't. Even outside the nasty scar on her face, she's slim without being dainty...
(4:37:19 PM) Ikiryo1: The girl looks at Reise hopefully
(4:41:36 PM) Reise: She takes her time composing her reply. Scars, after all, can be fixed... "Do I think you could ever be a model..." she muses, tapping a finger to her chin. "...Well, it'd be a lot of hard work. Like, it probably looks easy, but you have to do a *lot* to stay in the right shape and, like, fill what people wanna see. Plus there's all *sorts* of modeling! You could be an easy fit for, like, recruitment...
(4:41:36 PM) Reise: "...which is something I could never do," she goes on, pressing a hand demurely to her chest, "'cause seriously, girl, could you *ever* see me seriously holding a gun or a sword or something like that? But you, you could pull that off, like, without even trying~"
(4:44:44 PM) Ikiryo1: ...her face falls.
(4:46:19 PM) Reise: "Hm?" She tilts her head to a side, looking at the girl.
(4:47:03 PM) Ikiryo1: "...you mean no..."
(4:48:28 PM) Reise: "I didn't say that! Maybe fashion wouldn't work out but there's a whole bunch of other ways to do it!"
(4:48:42 PM) Ikiryo1: She starts to sniffle.
(4:49:31 PM) Reise: "Oh no no please don't cry 'cause then *I'll* cry and it just turns into a mess..."
(4:50:23 PM) Ikiryo1: She slumps a bit, crying. "G-Go away..."
(4:52:22 PM) Reise: "But you're upset and I don't like it when my fans are upset..."
(4:53:42 PM) Ikiryo1: "Go away!" She sniffles, slumping to the ground in the closet.
(4:54:35 PM) Reise: She stands in awkward silence for a few more seconds, gesturing uselessly. "At least, like, tell me what your name is..."
(4:55:46 PM) Ikiryo1: "...Soldier 93. I'm a War special project..." Says the girl currently crying in a closet because Reise said she wasn't pretty enough to be a model.
(4:56:17 PM) Reise: "...Huh? What's a special project?"
(4:57:22 PM) Ikiryo1: "...I'm a Clone."
(4:58:01 PM) Reise: "Oooooooohhhhh," she says, drawing the word out in understanding. "So you have, like, ninety-two sisters or something?"
(4:59:13 PM) Ikiryo1: "One hundred and seven." She sniffles.
(5:00:40 PM) Reise: "Huh," she grunts. "And out of all of them, like, you're the only one cool enough to be my fan, right?"
(5:02:47 PM) Ikiryo1: "...I found a video when storming a rebel base...I kept it rather than handing it over to lust, like all cutural artifacts..." She sniffles. "I should have just destroyed it."
(5:08:06 PM) Reise: "No, you did good!" she rushes. "But...okay, look, you *could* get into it, but like, you'd have to go under the knife first." She crosses her arms over her chest. "Now, I know what that sounds like, but like, some of the girls I know? Hon if you'd seen what their school holos looked like you'd never believe it's still them. Buck teeth, frizzy hair, terrible vision with thick glasses and stuff...
(5:08:07 PM) Reise: "...well, you're a lot closer than they were, so like, it could be done, and pretty easy too. And since you're keeping my career alive out here aallllllllllll by yourself, if you *really* want it that hard, maybe I can help you out. Whaddya say?"
(5:09:27 PM) Ikiryo1: "Wait...r-really?" She looks up at Reise.
(5:11:00 PM) Reise: "Yah really, or my name isn't Reise Peace~"
(5:11:33 PM) Ikiryo1: She steps up slightly and gives Reise a hug. Oh gods, that hurts. For a girl who's rather lean, she's got a grip like an ork
(5:12:53 PM) Reise: "Ribs!...breathe!...can't..." Really, Reise is probably nearly as strong, and tough enough not to be seriously hurt...but no sense giving any of that away.
(5:14:35 PM) Ikiryo1: She lets go. "Oh...sorry...I'm a Tiefling...even if the clones turned out a lot smaller than they planned."
(5:17:16 PM) Reise: She takes a deep breath and lets it out. "It's okay, really, it's okay...and I think you might be my first Tiefling fan, too~"
(5:19:01 PM) Ikiryo1: "Really? But you look so pretty in those lovely dresses...I mean, you look nice now...but the dresses are really pretty..."
(9:31:55 AM) Reise: "Aren't they just?" she nods with a smile. "If you can find someone to custom-tailor one for you, that does a *lot* for the figure and shape and stuff, y'know?"
(9:32:26 AM) Ikiryo: She nods several times
(9:58:23 AM) Reise: "So let's see. If you had something tailored, maybe grew your hair out...how long is it normally?"
(10:10:56 AM) Reise: "Brushing a fringe over your face is super stylish...and it can hide some of the scars, too, which will help your chances, until you can have some of them fixed. Having a scar or two is perfect as long as they're photogenic enough, right?"
(10:11:04 AM) Ikiryo: She takes off her helmet, showing her hair to be barely neck length.
(10:13:16 AM) Reise: "Hm. Yeah, get that to mid-back or longer and you'll be good with the fringe idea."
(10:14:46 AM) Ikiryo: She nods a few times, listening raptly.
(10:17:37 AM) Reise: "And you're gonna start like I did, which is small. Even I had to do small things before I got the big chance to work on Sigil like I've got, so don't get discouraged!"
(10:25:44 AM) Ikiryo: "Right...that makes sense."
(11:14:01 AM) Reise: "And who knows...some day, you could even make it big!" She winks. "Especially if somebody puts in a good word~"
(11:16:55 AM) Ikiryo: "R-Right." She stammers, nodding again. She does that a lot
(11:28:02 AM) Reise: "So what do you think? You wanna go through all of that nonsense still?"
(11:35:59 AM) Ikiryo: "Yes!" She nods furiously. "I mean...if War will let me...which they won't..." She sighs
(11:55:49 AM) Reise: "Aww...don't be like that. You don't know that for sure, do you?"
(11:59:02 AM) Ikiryo: "...I'm property of War."
(12:03:38 PM) Reise: "Whuh?" She tilts her head to the side.
(12:03:55 PM) Ikiryo: "I'm not legally a person. I'm a clone."
(12:14:50 PM) Reise: "...So? What's that matter? Like, what law says?"
(12:16:35 PM) Ikiryo: "That and the bomb in my skull." She nods.
(12:21:46 PM) Reise: "...What."
(12:27:25 PM) Ikiryo: "Yes, I have a bomb for disposal of materials when I die and to prevent capture by enemy forces."
(12:31:23 PM) Reise: "But what if you just leave?"
(12:37:03 PM) Ikiryo: "Then they will detonate it." She nods
(12:37:38 PM) ***Reise makes a face. "That's not very nice..."
(12:39:11 PM) Ikiryo: "It's a good tactical decision. It makes defection impossible and allows for a final strike against anyone who kills us."
(12:42:17 PM) Reise: "Well, is it like automatic, like the camera flash? Or does someone push a button?"
(12:44:19 PM) Ikiryo: "They have not told us."
(12:49:58 PM) Reise: "Hmm..." She taps a finger to her chin. "Think they'd let me take you away?"
(12:50:45 PM) Ikiryo1: "...huh?" She tilts her head.
(12:55:09 PM) Reise: "Yeah, like, can I just march in and say 'By the way, I'm recruiting 93, thanks' and take you with me?"
(12:56:15 PM) Ikiryo1: "...I...don't know?"
(12:59:21 PM) Reise: "Should we try?"
(1:00:23 PM) Ikiryo1: "If you want..." She looks over how Reise is 'Dressed'.
(1:13:26 PM) Reise: She's dressed normally enough--a skirt, a spaghetti-strapped top, heels--and regards 93 curiously.
(1:14:36 PM) Ikiryo1: "...what happened with your clothing?"
(1:15:48 PM) Reise: "Huh? Oh, it's a thing I'm test-driving for the company. That leotard thingy goes poof and flips into normal clothes, and vice versa!"
(1:20:07 PM) Ikiryo1: "...oh." She nods a few times. Reise is getting the feeling this girl is very naive.
(1:22:32 PM) Reise: "They wanna do this thing where we can go from fancy to formal without needing to be, like, thrown into a dressing room and stuff."
(1:22:46 PM) Reise: "'Cause really, who wants to sit for like four hours and have someone else do your makeup, right?"
(1:24:11 PM) Ikiryo1: "...that's really cool." She looks very envious.
(1:31:32 PM) Reise: "It is! Too bad I don't get to keep it...so what do you say?"
(1:34:36 PM) Ikiryo1: "...if you want?"
(1:35:49 PM) Reise: "Well, they could always say yes? I mean, it's me, who could say no?" She winks.
(1:40:15 PM) Ikiryo1: She blushes and nods
