GYM: One's Practice
With her plans set and in motion, the young, blue-haired schoolgirl Sayaka Miki heads to the nearby GYM, not quite the average workout place, though it has that equipment too, it was more known for acting as a magic fight club of sorts. Sayaka closes her eyes and strolls right in... To the closed door, shaking her head as she opens her eyes and blinks
Wait... Its not open? And there's even a door here? What now....
Sayaka taps her foot on the doormat, crossing her arms as she thinks for a bit, before an idea hits her
better than nothing.
After checking to make sure its locked, Sayaka feels around the top of the door, no dice, and finally beneath the doormat. Bingo. Satisfied, Sayaka unlocks the door, setting the key back beneath the doormat, and heads inside
Alright, now I've just gotta wait a bit. She'll probably be around soon.
(A detective Notices the large gym)
A place for battleing where people like me could die....
let’s go in there
Hat Kid would soon enter the GYM, she might as well get some training, in case a strong foe appears
(Enters the GYM and sees two people)
Hi some of us might die, but let’s have fun
*Joji enters the GYM, looking around nervously*
You sure this is the place?
Positive. Now go fight someone, its been too long since we've had a good brawl.
Ugh, fine.
*He looks around for a strong opponent*
Kotori walks in with a blue and gold shield strapped to her back.
She brushes some ashes off her shirt as she walks up to Sayaka with a smile
Hey!
I'm ready. How about you?
(Looking at Joji)
What the heck are you
Hat Kid took a moment to look around the place before she started walking around the place
Of course
Sayaka drops her schoolbag near the counter, heading over to one of the fighting arenas as she slowly slips the silver ring off her left hand
and I guess I probably shouldn't need to tell you this, but don't hold back on me alright?
with that, Sayaka's ring morphs into a small, blue gem, and from there we're one short transformation sequence away from the girl's long, white cape billowing in the breeze
you get the first shot
*Joji turns to the detective*
Who, me? I'm just your ordinary guy looking to better himself by hitting other people. How about you?
Omg that’s a heavy backstory.....
Same here
Hat Kid soon went to a chair and sat down, as she watches the upcoming fight
(Mind if I play some battle music for you two (Sayaka and Kotori)?
Gotcha....
Kotori pulls the shield off her back into her right arm and a blue, crystal-looking sword appears in her left
First strike huh?....
Let's see....
She stands in a battle ready stance watching Sayaka as she thinks.
Then, Sayaka can see a brief flash of brown cover Kotori's entire person, Green over her body and sword, and the blade bursts into flames
Let's see if I've improved a little....
She jumps at Sayaka, covering the entire distance between them in one leap as she quickly brings the flaming sword down in a diagonal slash from left to right
HAAAA!
So who wants to fight
Well, now that we've gotten introductions out of the way...
*His jacket ripples like water, with several black arms emerging from the surface*
...you up for a match?
(Pulls out duel magnum pistols)
Let’s do this
(Puts on sunglasses)
Woah!
those colors... Kotori did some kinda enchanting stuff right? That's probably what it meant. But there's not really enough time to think about it, Sayaka bends backwards towards her bottom left, letting Kotori's sword swinging just over her head, putting her right hand on the ground and using that as a pivot point to aim a hard kick at Kotori's side
Yeah, that's definitely new alright.
*With a stretch, Melody enters the GYM. She starts mumbling to herself as she takes a seat and takes her violin out of it's case.*
This place seems like it could be good for entertainment. Guess I can take time out to watch these idiots.
Hat Kid would look at Melody in confusion before she simply waves to her, in a friendly way
*Melody glances at Hat Kid slightly before looking back at her Violin, seemingly shyly.*
Are they... waving at me? Best to ignore them.
Ooooh, nice. You a revolver fan too?
*he slips his hand into his jacket and pulls out a long barreled, silver revolver. The bullets inside glow a dim purple*
Take your best shot. I want to see what your packing.
Hat Kid sightly nods before looking at the fights
As a matter of fact I am
(The two guns fuse into a blue glowing long barrel revolver)
Want to test the power of one of these bullets
(Points the gun at joji)
Heh!
That was just the beginning!
Kotori takes the kick without flinching.
Instead, she puts her shield out in front of her, it flashes red for a split second before Kotori charges forward, shield at front as it bursts into flames in an attempt to ram the girl.
Immediately after her charge, Kotori spins her blade in a circle around her, shooting flames from the arc in about 5 feet in all directions
OOC: @Mr_detective @Joji_Tomasu just Fight already
Be my guest.
*He holds his arms out, while the other hands enthusiastically point to his head*
COSMIC SHELL
(A powerful blue bullet shot as fast as a comet towards joji)
*Melody starts muttering to no-one in particular*
Comets travel at 6 miles a second. Not the slowest thing in the world...
(edited by Melody)
since Sayaka's already right next to Kotori, there's not much she can do to dodge when her kick fails, the shield's flames scorch her a bit before knocking her a few feet away, Sayaka winces, getting back to her feet in time to slash through Kotori's other fire attack, a bit of wind causing the flames to mostly go around her.
Her chest is obviously burned, but it seems to be healing extremely quickly
Ok... So much for that then...
Sayaka takes a few more seconds to breath and focus herself
Haaa!
Recovering from her spin, Kotori rushes Sayaka again as fast as she's able, shield still facing ahead, though not flaming anymore, going for a simple, easily telegraphed thrust to Sayaka's left side, before quickly feinting and swinging diagonally to her left, Sayaka's right.
Hat Kid soon got some hot chocolate out of no where and started drinking
Alright, gotta get going and all
rather than deal with the shield again, Sayaka jumps over Kotori, unsheathing her own sword to slash at Kotori's sword arm, more to busy it than anything so she can pull a second blade from beneath her cape and swing at Kotori's back
Ooc: so what happened joji
OOC: You killed him with a six mile a second bullet, clearly.
Ooc: ok
(The revolver turns back into duel magnum pistols)
I’ll have to wait for that to charge, in the meantime who’s next
OOC: You don't get sarcasm, huh?
*The bullet strikes Joji in the head, sending his skidding across the floor*
...huh...that kinda hurt.
*he stands up with a smoldering hole in the middle of his head*
My turn.
*He quickly fires all six bullets, all of which stop just short of the barrel. He snaps his fingers, causing them to scatter in different directions, ricocheting towards the detective.*
OOC: Sorry for the wait my internet was being bitchy
Both strikes hit their target. However, rather than cutting Kotori's skin, the blades spark on contact as if they had just struck stone, and Sayaka can feel the feedback run through them.
Kotori grimaces and spins to face Sayaka, swinging her sword in an arc as she turns, with very little aim to the swing, seemingly less in an attempt to strike and more to cover her unshielded side
Right... Above....
That's gonna be a toughie....
Rather than press forward, Kotori steps back slightly to get back into stance, keeping her shield close to her body in case of an attack
(Turns sees the bullets coming at him)
You gotta be kidding me
(Manages to dodge the bullets except for one which hit him in the leg)
AHHH!!!
Son of a-
(Quick switches to explosive rounds and fires them from both guns at joji)
Sayaka shakes her arms as the force goes back through her, geeze, can she even actually hurt Kotori? The girl hastily steps back from Kotori's slash, getting another small cut along her arm for the trouble, but it only takes a few seconds to heal completely.
Alright... Lets see if you can keep up then.
Sayaka spins around, tossing the sword in her left hand directly at Kotori's right before dashing to Kotori's left, where their sword arm is, hoping to use the first sword as a distraction, Sayaka throws the sword in her right hand too as she pulls a third blade out from underneath her cape to reload her left hand
Hat Kid keeps watching
*The explosive rounds separate Joji's torso from his lower body, spraying inky black blood everywhere*
*cough* Explosives...how did I not see this coming...ah dammit.
*He uses the extra hands to drag himself to his lower body while firing normal bullets at Mr Detective.*
*Melody sighs*
Great. He's one of THOSE.
(Gets hit in the left arm)
AHHH!!!!
(Looks at his bleadding arm)
Dang it
(Quickly reloads the gun in his other hand and shoots multiple rounds at the top part of joji’s body)
medea and dahlia entered the gym, while not to fight right now, it was for something else and they just happened to be watching what was going on.
Dahlia: excuse us! I hope we arent interupting anything.
Hat Kid looks at the Medea and Dahlia, soon waves to them
*Melody looks over at Dahlia and clicks her tongue. She mutters something under her breath before looking down at her Violin.*
They don't look much. Just more pedestrians, I suppose.
Kotori sees the thrown sword and holds the shield to deflect it, getting a Knick in her arm from the second blade as her body moves to defend.
Rather than strike back, Kotori's shield flashes red again before she thrusts the tip into the ground, causing the entire area in front of her to explode forward.
Immedietly after, before the explosion clears, she let's her guard down and swings her own blade, sending a shockwave of cutting wind through the smokescreen.
Upon letting her guard down, her skin visibly burns as she places the shield on her back, and grips her blade with both hands
Gh....
That might have been a stupid move....
Shitshitshit!
*Two of the arms wrap around each other, forming a disk-like shape that redirects the explosive force to the rounds*
Almost done...
*He reconnects his lower half and waits for the feeling to return to his legs while hiding behind his makeshift cover*
(Mr. detectives watch lights up saying COSMIC REVOLVER CHARGED)
Alright
(Fuses the two pistols turning them into that revolver again)
COSMIC SHELL
(Fires a powerful bullet directly at the middle of jojis body intending to blow him up from the inside out)
Hat Kid keeps looking at medea and dahlia
Dahlia: hey hat kid. Whats up?
woah!!
Sayaka takes a few steps backwards, spinning around to let her cape catch the edge of the explosion rather than the girl herself
What was th...
before she could finish that sentence Kotori's own shockwave of air catches Sayaka largely unawares,cutting through most of her cape and striking the girl on her back, Sayaka goes down on one knee, slowly turning back around as her back begins to heal
Gah... I can't...
Sayaka shakes her head, taking a deep breath and grinning rather than showing any frustration
No, it was pretty nice, unexpected at least.
Sayaka almost absentmindedly tosses her left sword at Kotori's left, in part to slow her down and allow Sayaka's back more time to heal, and in part to give Sayaka a chance to start moving to Kotori's right, where one of her old swords would have fallen. Either way, Sayaka would drag out a fourth weapon from seemingly nowhere and hold it casually in her right
Geez. That stupid kid always look at strangers that way. It's fucking creepy.
*Melody mumbles before frowning slightly, tuning her violin.*
"Nothing much, I thought I would come here to get some training and maybe invite some people to to my spaceship"
Hat Kid said as she fixs the three badges that were on her hat (Projectile Badge, Fast Hatter Badge, Hookshot Badge)
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/a-hat-in-time/images/4/46/Projectile_Badge.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171008180314 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/a-hat-in-time/images/8/87/Teen_Angst_badge.png/revision/latest?cb=20150621230140 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/a-hat-in-time/images/a/ac/Hookshot_Badge.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20171008180556
*JojI regains the use of his legs just before the shell strikes, and clumsily scrambles out of the way*
What the hell is that? I've never seen a gun like that before.
*He recalls Melody's eariler comment*
Hey Blondie...what exactly did you mean by one of THOSE?
*He turns away from the detective, leaving himself open*
(The guns un fuse and the detective reloads the explosive rounds in his guns and fires them at his head and his back)
She means you are one of those unfair oc’s that can regenerate like nothing can’t hurt you!
Kotori jumps to the right, avoiding the hap-hazardly tossed sword and marks Sayaka's dash to the right.
Knowing that every second she leaves Sayaka unwounded is a second Sayaka uses to heal, she instead catches the thrown sword as it flies past her and it flashes yellow before she quickly throws it at Sayaka's destination.
That way, should Sayaka touch the sword, or use her own blades to block it, the infused lightning would arc through the metal and into her.
Following up, Kotori herself leaps into the air following the thrown sword as a brown flash transfers from her body to her sword and brings her blade down where she hopes Sayaka will still be with enough force to crack the earth.
Naturally the impact of this strike would leave Kotori completely open as the ground shakes
G-gh...
Hurts....
Oc's? What ar-WHOA!
*He dodges all but one of the shells, which blows his head clean off*
*The black hands do their best to keep him upright, but he falls to his knees*
*His jacket ripples again and the hands retract back inside*
*Despite his lack of head, his hand lazily reaches for the revolver just out of reach*
(Struggles to walk on one leg as he kicks the gun out of jojis reach)
It’s over
(edited by Mr_detective)
A man enters the GYM in a very formal seeming way. He would be wearing a black business suit that seemed overly fancy for a simple trip to the GYM but at the same time it also seemed somewhat casually thrown on as it wasn't tucked in and was wrinkled.
At his side, he held a locked briefcase in his right hand. He seemed to take great care in keeping a grip on his briefcase as if the contents were far too important to let go of. He'd simply seem to look around the room with a look of disapproval.
"Unbelievable, the ratio of people who own vehicles in this room to those who do not is completely unacceptable."
OVER THE EVOLUTION! COBRA! RIDER SYSTEM! RRREVOLUTION!
Outside, frantic music begins blasting, enough to shake the foundations of the GYM. It picks up to even more franticity, before it levels out with a resounding blare.
Are you ready? BLACK HOLE! BLACK HOLE! BLACK HOLE! REVOLUTION! FUEHEHEHEHE!
With a resounding clash, the door would blast off its hinges, flying square into the back of the GYM. A strange figure clad in black and white would waltz through the door, his coat flapping in the wind.
"Well now... this place seems more lively since I last visited! So many people I've yet to meet, eh?"
Sayaka notes the weapon being thrown at her other sword, skidding to a stop about a foot short of her destination, taking her eyes off Kotori to instead focus on the blade in front of her
Woah, close the....
She hears Kotori rushing through the air, turning in time to try to block Kotori's strike with the weapon she has left, unfortunately she wasn't expecting the massive increase in weight, which forces Sayaka to fall back, left hand starting to bleed as she holds the edge of her Katana and right holding it by the hilt. Sayaka coughs a bit, while not cut the force did leave her badly bruised
So... What now?
*His hand shoots out and grabs the wounded leg. But instead of excruciating pain, a strange numbing sensation creeps into the open wound. It almost feels pleasant. The other hand weakly attempts to reach for the wounded arm while flashing a peace sign.*
What are you-
(Feels the wounds healing)
Oh thank you
Kotori's body shakes from the strain of the attack as she uses the chance to fix her fighting stance.
She smiles at Sayaka, her dark hands almost pale from the amount of force she's gripping her sword, and Sayaka can practically see the adrenaline pumping through her
Y-you calling for a ceasefire?
Or are we still going?
She breathes heavily through each sentence.
Cuz I can keep going.
*He pulls his hand back, the bullet from the leg wound falling to the floor with a dull clink*
*As he heals the arm wound, a feminine torso made of black liquid emerges from his back. It looked mostly human except for the head, which resembled a wolf with piercing yellow eyes.*
Sorry about the wounds. We don't usually fight other humans.
Sayaka starts to chuckle, only to wince as her back finishes healing, and finally breathe out a sigh
well, we both know I'd be fine if you gave me a minute. But yeah, if we were really fighting this's probably... Where we'd call it.
You win.
Sayaka closes her eyes and waits a bit, at least for Kotori to get the chance to get off her
It’s ok
Sorry about what I said about you
You were actually a good fighter overall
Well, he did most of the fighting. All I did was keep his dumb ass alive. How's the leg?
*Your arm wound is nearly healed*
It’s feeling like I haven’t fought at all
Heh....
Kotori's sword vanishes and her body flashes blue before she reaches a hand down for Sayaka
So, waddya think?
I get better?
Good. I suppose I should fix his head now.
*The mangled neck stump slowly regenerates*
I'm Aby, by the way.
Hello I’m mr.detective
Sayaka drops her own sword, blinking momentarily before accepting Kotori's hand
Yeah... you sure have.
Sayaka looks off to the side, sounding less than enthusiastic, before breathing out another sigh
Still uh.. Thanks for showing me how much better you've been doing... Really, coming into your own...
Huh..well I've heard stranger names.
*Joji's head has fully healed*
Aak! Jesus! What took you so lo-OH SHIT!
*He jumps up and takes a fighting pose*
What are you doing? we aren’t fighting anymore
(Holsters guns and puts up glasses)
(edited by Mr_detective)
Kotori's hand is wet to the touch, yet she's completely dry.
However, Sayaka can see the burns on her skin slowly healing, not nearly as quickly as Sayaka's own healing, but still faster than they they were before
No.
Thank you for sparring with me.
I know you don't really like fighting, so this means a lot to me.
Also... Umm... Back then.
Two years ago?
When you tried to talk me out of taking QB's offer...
Thanks. You were right. I'd have regretted it so much.
And I probably wouldn't have gotten where I am now if I had.
What? But we...awww man does that mean you won?
The man in the strange armor simply steps behind the counter, grabbing several bottles of expensive looking mineral water.
"If that brat thinks he's getting free treatment... Still, to think he ran a business like this, self-sustaining too! Now that's either genius business practice, or he's just every bit the bleeding heart dimwit I was hoping for!"
He would rifle through the register, not taking anything, simply investigating it.
"So it's the latter, eh? Pity. The smart ones prove more entertaining..."
Makoto walks in, his hands in his pockets.
"Huh. I haven't been here before. Is this.. a fighting arena?"
What? But we...awww man does that mean you won?Your still standing let’s call it a draw
Alright then. You were a fun first match.
OOC:Sleep approaches gg
"Seems kinda dangerous, but I guess it's normal in this world."
Naegi sees the counter and walks over to it, noticing Evolt rifling through the cash register.
"Hey, excuse me, do you work here?"
Evolt slams the register shut with a thud. He begins to look around even more, his visor falls upon the elevator in the rear. He begins to walk toward it, waving his hand dismissively toward the newcomer.
"Eh, beat it kid. Ain't got nothin' to do with you..."
He continues to stroll past the current occupants, until he finally reaches the elevator.
"Lookie what we've got here. Looks like I should have looked around some more..."
Naegi races after Evolt, almost tripping.
"I... did you steal something from that cash register?"
He stops in his tracks. He does an about face toward the youngster, his mask hiding his face. He raises his finger to point at Naegi.
"... and if I did? The hell d'you think you're gonna do about it? Like I said, beat it."
He turns back around, pressing the down button on the elevator panel.
"Don't just dodge the question like that! I can't let you take something that isn't yours. You either need to answer me or let me see what you have!"
Sayaka looks over Kotori, its kinda slow, but it turns out she doesn't even need Sayaka to heal her anymore.
Yeah... Your welcome I guess. I mean... No problem. Yeah
She hardly even hears the last bit as Sayaka heads for the door
Anyways, uh... Well thanks for letting me see how you're doing at least. Good luck, wherever you end up going, I believe in you.
He shrugs it off, clearly he doesn't care. He waits patiently for the elevator, which seems to be taking quite a long time.
"Again, if I took somethin', the hell would you do to stop me, huh? Honestly, hero talk gets kind of grating after a while... You should just be happy I'm in a good mood, lest I throw a... temper tantrum."
He leans against the wall, still waiting on that elevator. He begins tapping his foot impatiently.
Makoto's tone suddenly changes.
"Look, if you don't let me see what you have, then I'll be the one throwing the temper tantrum. Unless, you're looking for a fight."
Bye Sayaka-chan!
I'll see you later, ok?
Let's save some people together sometime~
......
Oh!
And make sure you don't run out of magic!
If you need help scrounging up some seeds, or with anything really, I can help!
You can count on me!
She waves back cheerfully to Sayaka
Thanks for everything!
The man from before would step up to Evolt and Makoto in a calm manner.
"Hold on, I am a businessman. As such seeing such violence over such a petty manner doesn't sit well with me. I also happen to be an acquaintance with the owner of this facility and know that he'd prefer the fights within it to only be centred around training.
Whatever has been taken I will pay for if that is the concern."
He relieves his pressure from the wall, and stands up straight. His tone also changes, from a taunting friend to the darkest foe.
"If I was lookin' for a fight, I'd have found one already. Now if you want to get away with your life, I suggest you go now. This elevator loves to take its sweet time, and I'm a very impatient guy. Believe it or not, I don't like killing people without a good reason, usually that's a good laugh. Now if you want to be the highlight of my day, you've got plenty of time left to talk smack."
He shifts his weight, and an ominous presence radiates off of him. Nothing sinister, just an empty presence. As if his very existence is to create nothingness. He is; however, interrupted by the business man.
"Ah, you know Kalib, huh? Well I just so happen to be checking on the place for him, what with the wall and all. He asked me to bring him some of his special water. He said it'd be... 'on the house.' Thought I might as well take a look around, make sure the tremor didn't destroy anything."
Another person steps into the GYM, carrying a giant bag dripping with a black ooze as he walks over to the register deadpan, noticing Evolt and Naegi arguing, he walks over and a putrid odor begins to emanate from him, the deep stench of dead fish and garbage. When he gets close he simply stares at the trio there. Unmoving.
Makoto walks away, biting his lip. As he does so, he glances over at TRASHMAN, and turns his head away, slightly annoyed.
(edited by Naegi_Makoto)
Yeah, I'll be careful. Really, there's no reason to worry about me
Sayaka blinks momentarily before waving back at Kotori, shaking her head for a bit before running out the door, a brief flash of light behind her as indicator of changing back to her regular clothes
.............
Now I'm worried about you....
Kotori sighs and turns her attention to the commotion over by the elevator
Now what's this crowd about?
She walks over and listens
(edited by Kotori_K)
Carl would just stare blankly back at the strange man who smelled of garbage. Suddenly, his eyes began to light up as if the putrid odour awakened something inside of him.
"Yes, Yes! Of course! I'll have Icahn Incorporated build the ultimate garbage truck! One with the capacity to collect all the garbage in the city!
It'll be revolutionary! Why did I not think of this before?!?"
Evolt merely chuckled at the events transpiring before him.
"Tch, hehe... Now then... back to business... This damned elevator!"
He kicks it, leaving a dent in the door. Unsurprisingly, shortly after, the elevator dings and opens up to reveal the inside.
"... so much for science."
The trashman hears garbage and his face lights up, digging through his bag and dropping a pile of wet goop at Carl's feet before smiling happily, then walking off and staring a wall.
Huh.
Kotori looks at the elevator in interest before looking at Evolt.
Hey, mind if I join you?
That looks like fun.
I've never ridden an elvater before.
dahlia then looks to sayaka.
Dahlia: sorry for leaving that cafe prematurely before you can introduce yourself to me. I just... simply do not take kindly to crass jokes. May i ask what your name is?
Evolt shrugs, why not? Not like this'll compromise his work or anything.
"Never ridden... Psh, knock yourself out! Not like I'd bother trying to stop you anyhow..."
He steps aboard, holding his finger on the door open button to keep himself from going alone. After all, better to have someone else to take the fall for insurance purposes.
Kotori steps inside
Thanks~
So, where does this go anyway?
OOC: Uh, Dahlia. Sorry, but we already left, good luck though
Ooc: sorry, bad timing.
Ic:
Dahlia: oh, shes already gone... perhaps ill be able to talk to her another time...
(edited by Dahlia)
He looks at his options, clearly going for the lowest level possible. Nobody hides secrets in the sky after all. That much he was proud of being the only one that did.
"No clue! Bottom floor seems like the best bet, huh?"
He waits patiently as the doors close behind them. The light in the elevator being the only thing allowing the two to see anything.
"You seem pretty calm, for your first time in an elevator. With a stranger like me no less!"
Her body briefly flashes brown
I've fought dragons.
I don't trust technology that much, but I'm pretty sure whatever could go wrong with this thing wouldn't be much of a problem for me.
Specially not with my magic.
What about you?
No clue where we're going to end up.
For all we know this elvater could open to a demon infested underground city.
I'm sure that's happened before in this place.
There was a well that lead to hell after all.
(edited by Kotori_K)
Evolt leans back against the wall, his armor clattering against the metallic panelling.
"Magic, huh? First off, I really doubt we're gonna run into any sort of demonopolis. Second off, elevators aren't wells. Bit of a different function there."
He sighs as he glares at the floor counter continuously going down.
"Must be deep, or at least this elevator's really slow..."
Never hurts to be prepared for the worst.
Even the implausible happens every once in a while.
She smiles
I'd rather look like an idiot for preparing for something that wasn't there than to be dead because I didn't.
I'm getting a little excited~
He sighs as the elevator opens, revealing a stark white laboratory. It looks state of the art, what with all the monitors. Some things are knocked over, probably by the tremors from the creation of the wall, but for the most part everything seems intact.
"Well now... looks like our friendly little GYM owner was keeping some secrets... Interesting, eh?"
Evolt would move quickly around the lab, surveying every little thing.
"Y'see, the problem with sci-fi stuff like this is the impracticality! I prefer my science to have some grounding in reality, y'know? I have zero idea what half this stuff is..."
Half?
I don't know what any of it does.
Looks like an earthquake hit this place though....
She looks around curious, but being careful not to touch anything
I prefer my science to be....
Not.... techy....
Evolt stops in his tracks after hearing what Kotori had to say.
"Looks like? Didn't you see the giant wall outside? The one that's sort of dividing the world? Eh, whatever... Half of this crap looks like monitoring equipment anyway. No real experiments that I can speak of anywho..."
He dusts off a computer monitor reading something about a high velocity test.
"Looks like they were dealing with something fast... REALLY fast... Mach 1, huh... pretty impressive for a human."
Wall?
Nope.
I just got back to this world recently.
I must have missed it.
Sounds like trouble...
And trouble is interesting~
She peeks by his shoulder
Mock one?
Eh... This place wasn't as fun as I thought it would be....
So, did this wall just.. appear one day or something?
Or is that what you're trying to figure out?
He finishes examining the monitor, and turns to the treadmill beside it. He examines it very closely, almost with microscopic precision.
"I guess you could say it happened one day. About a month ago really... I may or may not have been there for the thing that set it off... Buncha weirdos that day, so no real pinpointing the blame on anyone..."
He places his gloved finger onto the treads, closely examining the dust left on them.
"Looks alien, not even that.. not of this universe, multiverse, what have you."
Ooo~
Now that sounds like fun to be had.
She Smiles at the last sentence
Wonder if I can fight whatever it is?
If it can make a wall that big it's gotta be strong, right?
As for weirdos... This place has always been full of them.
Least, the time I spent here was full of strange people.
People claiming to be god's, weird magic rodent things, giant snakes....
(edited by Kotori_K)
He stands up, clapping his hands to free himself of the dust.
"You can't fight a box... Granted you can fight to HAVE the box, but that'd just be crazy... Right?"
He rustles some more through some old papers. Finally, some analog science.
"Oh yeah, this was all caused by some box... Some guy touched it and sent us through a downward spiral... On the bright side, looks like the common people have recovered, that or they just openly ignore the wall. Whatever works I guess!"
Oh....
Yeah... can't fight a box.
Though with something that powerful, you'd probably want to get rid of it...
Those kinda things are dangerous....
Then again, I'm not the smartest person around, so dstroying the box would probably be a bad idea....
Did anyone try touching the box again?
He holds his fingers to his mask, thinking.
"Nah, not that I remember... Some jackass went and stole it before I could see anything else."
He finds an interesting sheet, which he folds up and places in a briefcase that was lying about. Something about the color yellow...
"I doubt touching it again would do anything. It kinda looked somethin' like a one time thing. Kinda like a batt- You do know what a battery is right?"
Umm....
She closes her eyes and thinks hard
They're those round things that power stuff.
Right?
"Close enough... The point is, it's got one charge before it goes completely useless! Some batteries; however, can be filled back up."
Evolt would see a small red light on the desk, he moves his arm toward it, wiping whatever was in front of it off. It'd be a clock, and he'd go quiet all the sudden.
"That late, huh? Well looks like I've gotta ditch this place. Ciao!"
A black abyss opens behind him. He steps through it, and it fades as if he was never there.

She pushes the button for the top floor
