She tilted her head at him while he was still looking over the images, asking in the language nobody could understand but Ren... and nobody seemed able to replicate either, [color=9e005d]"What happened? She is angrier than when I left. Angry... with you?"[/color] That seemed to be the case rather often, so it wasn't a difficult conclusion to come to, what with the both of them seeming so on edge. Whatever his answer, she watched the others gather, those she knew less about. The first was the metal thing. It moved like a person, it spoke like a person, sometimes. Was it... human? She didn't always speak like a person. Was it maybe... no, it was another creation of man, a mixing of flesh and metal and... was there any flesh left in there? She wondered what would happen if she were to shock him with electricity... but she had been told not to do that... the exact words were 'In fact, you probably shouldn't stand too close to him at all'. Given that her body was almost always covered in a layer of unseen electricity, that was probably for the best, but still, not much fun... Then came the ogre... Oni-Kind as she called her. She hated Oni... dumb creatures, always angry, like her, but unreasonably so. But this one was different, and at the very least, she saw the differences between Yokai and those whose bodies were corrupted by their essence. So her thoughts about 'dumb Oni' were often pushed aside, as she thought this one was not as dumb as an actual Oni, and in fact, was very reliable. She had been told to be nice... so she would be nice. It was easier, because it was not a real Oni. She did not know what respect was, but what she felt was somewhat like that. Even if every time she saw them, the thoughts that first came to mind were never endearing, she fortunately kept them to herself, and forgot them as quick as they came. And then there was the Ghost in the Shell. She could see it, smell it... there was a ghost in that one's body. The pathetic creature was controlled by it, and it would be a mercy to purge it from her... but her standing orders were simple, if not incredibly limiting. Be nice... and under no circumstances was she to attempt to purge the machine ghost, and again, do not stand too close to her. Hmm, did that mean the other one was a machine with a human-ghost in it? How was she to understand these creatures of machine-flesh if she was not allowed to electrify them, just a little bit... such an act was prohibited. Unfair... cruel and unusual restrictions... if they could not withstand a little zap, what use were they to this cause? No matter... Tsuki could keep her... haunted followers.
