<Sciencegar> -------------------------------------------------

<Sciencegar> The giggling child floats through the halls of Ark Liebe, speeding through so fat she almost bouncing off the walls.

<Sciencegar> "Rikaaaaaaaaa, Where are yooooooouuuuu?!?!"

<Xanya> Rika steps out into the hall "I'm here! I'm here!"

<Sciencegar> Iczer-3 glomps her partner, giggling. "Gotcha now!"

<Xanya> "So you do!" She grins. "Whatcha want?"

<Sciencegar> "Um,....Not sure. I just wanted to know whatcha were up to."

<Xanya> "Ah. Um... just getting used to this ship, really... It's, um... different from the last few I was on."

<Sciencegar> "It is a little. Its differently alive, I guess."

<RickDominated> Though as they say this...there's a subtle shift in the air, the stink of ozone...and instantly all of Izcer-3's prodigious hair starts to stand on end....

<Sciencegar> "Iyaaa! Wh-what's happening!"

<Xanya> "I don't know. I have a baaaad feeling about this."

<Xanya> [16:02] <Xanya> "I don't know. I have a baaaad feeling about this."

<Sandwitches> ".......................................................... Poke?"  ... Where did that Slowpoke come from?

<Xanya> "... Hello Slowpoke!"

<RickDominated> There's a snap, the air around them shimmering as two charges leap out of seperate bulkheads...and what seems like a solid pillar of suspended, pillar like lightning stands in front of them both, the air around it still crackling with ionization....and both of them get the impression that it's looking at them

<Xanya> Rika reaches out towards it. She's not particularly worried.

<Sciencebolt> "Uwwaaa! These two are wierding me out!"

<Xanya> "What did I do?"

<RickDominated> And surprisingly...a hand forms..and then the rest of it shifts, taking shape...into a rather young looking female form, wide, featureless eyes looking into Rikas. The Air crackles again, it's mouth moving but only a resonant, singing language that makes all those present's teeth vibrate at the same time.

<Xanya> "Oh! That's kinda cute!"

<RickDominated> The shape quirks it's head. "...cuh-wai...?"

<Xanya> "Yes!"

<Sciencebolt> Three is just trying to her her hair under control.

<Sandwitches> The slowpoke kind of...  turns to look at the small shape.

<Sandwitches> ...  Wait...  whats that on its back?  It looks like a tiny yellow insect...

<Xanya> "Eh?" Rika investigates, blinking.

<RickDominated> Still, it...she seems highly interested in Rika, occasionally even speaking in a mix of that strange language and rudimentary Japanese. "....Moth...er...? Like."

<Xanya> "Oh! Yes, I'm... like her, yes. It's, um. Confusing. Super confusing"

<Xanya> Rika picks up the small creature and examines it gently as she speaks with the electrical entity.

<Sandwitches> It shuffles around a bit in her hands.

<Xanya> She strokes it gently. "Ehehehe...~"

<RickDominated> The elemental almost mimics the gesture, sending arcs of energy between it and her fingers

<Sciencebolt> "Wow, I didn't think there'd be so many cutesy things here.2

<Xanya> "I dunno, they just seem to pop up everywhere I go! I don't mind, though!"

<Sandwitches> The little insects fure shifts and catches some of the energy...  before sending out a little arc in response!

<RickDominated> "...!" The lightning girl seems delighted, it's blank eyes wide and it's face obviously happy, sending out small series of arcing bolts all the while

<Sandwitches> The little insect chitters and responds in kind!

<Sciencebolt> Iczer-3 giggles.

<RickDominated> Eventually, it even picks it up from Rika's Hands, fully solidifying, looking more like lightning caught in glass now. It's facial featuers seem to solidify as well...showing a definite familal resembalence to the other girl with her...but she's much, much younger.

<Xanya> "I think it likes you!" Rika is encouraging.

<RickDominated> "Joltik...us, likes. She too."

<Sandwitches> The small creature bobs up and down!

<Xanya> Rika nods and smiles.

<Sciencebolt> "Is she a friend of yours, Rika? You seem to get on with everyone.2

<Xanya> "Um... I guess she is now!"

<RickDominated> "...apologies...for Hair..." The...thing says to Izcer, while she makes a motion with her hands sending short lived but vibrant bolts out in a frizzy pattern, a fair immitation of what she looks like right now.

<Sciencebolt> "Ah! D-don't make fun!" Iczer starts patting at the hair again.

<RickDominated> She waggles her hands in a clearly suplicative fashion...making a rather pathetic sort of crakling "Hawawawa"

<Xanya> "Um... I think you made her cry."

<Sciencebolt> "what? I didn't do anyting to her!"

<Xanya> "I don't know, okay?"

<RickDominated> She continues to wave her hands. "S-Sorry"

<RickDominated> "Materalize...flashy."

<Xanya> "It's okay! I think?"

<RickDominated> She makes a wide, expansive motion again.

<Sciencebolt> "I heard someone talking in Lightning, robo!" With a pointlessly dramatic twirl, Elsa leaps into the room. "Where did all these rats come from, robo?"

<Sandwitches> "!' The little bug turns towards Elsa

<Xanya> "R-rats?!"

<RickDominated> <Champion! Finally! Someone who can speak a respectable tounge!>

<Sciencebolt> <Their languages are sorta respectable, [ROBO]. They're just a little wierd, [ROBO].>

<RickDominated> <Can you apologize to the One of Much Hair? She was an unfortunate casuality of my Manifestation.>

<Sandwitches> "........ Poke?"

<RickDominated> <Also the Gremlin on my arm appears to be simply a local Fauna known as a Joltik. I believe it to be an Elemental Like Myself."

<Xanya> "It's okay, Slowpoke, I'm confused too."

<RickDominated> To the rest of the group, she's sounding like before...but... is that a few choice Japanese words in there?

<Sciencebolt> Elsa isn't listening to the elemental. She's now staring at Slowpoke.

<Sciencebolt> "..........................Slow?"

<RickDominated> "...I am...being...ignored...Hawawawa..."

<Sandwitches> "................................................................................................................ Poke."

<Sciencebolt> "................................................................................Slow?"

<RickDominated> "The Champion...is...attempting...communication...nano...desu?" She tries out Japanese again, finding it easier than english.

<Sandwitches> "................................................................................................................ Poke? ......................................................................................................................................................... Sowpoke."

<Sciencebolt> "..................................................................................................................I understand."

<Sandwitches> It gives a small nod.

<Xanya> "... But... but..."

<Xanya> "How...?"

<Sciencebolt> "You're probably just thinking about it too fast, robo."

<RickDominated> "...Champions are...Amazing. Nanodes."

<Xanya> "... She does seem rather amazing..."

<Sciencebolt> "Aw shucks, you're making me blush, robo."

<Sciencebolt> The Iczer can't help but look a little jelaous.

<Xanya> "... You're amazing too, Three~. Come on, we'll find somewhere we can spar after this."

<RickDominated> "Ah...flattery....more human traits..."

<Xanya> "No, it's complete honesty. You wanna watch?"
