[IC] The Pyramid

[nerminator]

tanikazi gotten up again and noticed how the group triggered yet another alarm. can't we go 5 minutes without triggering a damn robot! tanikazi thought. well you've done it again people tanikazi said sarcastically and grabbed a broken robotic arm off of the ground. preparing to bludgeon the newcomer to death

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Seeing Tanikazi's reaction, Runo quickly pushed the furry-eared one behind him to try to prevent any other accidents like they had just gotten out of. Gesturing to get the attention of the hybrid creature in front of them, he then pointed to his throat and shook his head to indicate his inability to speak. He then held up his hands in an attempt to communicate that they meant no harm. Hopefully this person would get the idea that they were just lost and confused and wouldn't be attacking. He didn't have any voice left to speak, never mind pull off another shriek like before, and he wasn't sure how fighting on land would work with the different appendages. He couldn't just rely on the others for defense, though, so he would have to figure something out soon.

[twave]

The girl had not yet reacted to Tanikazi's action before Runo stepped up. Turning her head the iris in her eyes adjusted as she watched him flail about. She was still trying to communicate with the system to receive orders on what to do. EVE could not remember the last time she was put in manual mode. For her it was deafeningly quiet with the lack of constant chatter being streamed to her brain. It couldn't have been more than a minute but to her it felt like an eternity. Unable to function as designed she began to fall back to her under developed human roots. Her hands twitched ever so slightly before she raised them up to the headset she had built on her head. The robotic voice gave way to a more normal sounding one. It carried with it a distinct British accent. "Quiet... It is too quiet." At the moment she did not seem to acknowledge the group in front of her.

[nerminator]

tanikazi smashed into a table of robot pieces. causing it to fall over and same with tanikazi. falling over and hitting the ground tanikazi dropped the robotic arm and smacked the ground. he gotten back up despite the several bruises and cuts on his back. not knowing that it was runo that pushed tanikazi. a burst of kinsune adrenaline went through tanikazi as he picked up a robotic leg. swung it at the enemy robot

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Runo winced a bit at the crashing sound behind him and glanced back at the furred one a bit apologetically; he really hadn't thought that he could have possibly pushed him that hard, especially being as drained as he was. Even less fortunate was that it seemed that the action had not relayed any message to him in the slightest about waiting before acting. Horrified at Tanikazi's relentless attempt to attack despite the fact that the being in front of them had shown no signs of aggression, he stepped in front of the path of the robotic leg and took the hit in an attempt to keep him from causing damage to the girl that they had just found. Even though he had no idea what kind of metal the object was made of, the sickening crack that he felt run through him at the hit was enough to tell him that it was probably built to be much sturdier than he was. Of course, this was only so helpful after collapsing to the floor yet again.

[twave]

Runo hitting the floor seemed to snap the girl back into the moment. Reviewing what she had ignored before the leg was used as a weapon and targeted at her. The one on the floor defended her. Being part human made her less indiscriminate than the drones they had met before. Her programming running at a very basic level identified Runo as a friendly and Tanikazi as foe. Defensive protocol kicking in she moved forward to get the kitsune away from Runo. Running off of nothing but routines again she let it take control. The robotic voice returned. "Hostile target detected. Defense mode activated. Subdue the target." Her hand sparked, equipped with a similar device to the drone's tasers. EVE reached for the weapon (robot leg) knowing it would be conductive.

[nerminator]

hitting runo made tanikazi feel like a dofus. I swear all of this group is so FUC but was cut off by a sudden volt of electricity. convulsing yet again. his hand clutched to the robotic leg like it was superglued to his hand

[twave]

Cutting off the electricity she pulled the leg away and tosses it aside. Again she did something different from the others. Stopping she lowered her arm and let Tanikazi recover. "Cease your hostility and you will not be harmed."

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

It hurt. Everything hurt. He was sure that his shoulder was probably cracked in a few places or probably smashed in. At any rate, moving it was unbelievably painful. Eventually pushing himself into a sitting position, the merman looked down at the injury, taking note of the torn skin and anything else he could see or feel. Broken. His shoulder was definitely broken. Without much more thought besides how it would be easiest to twist into the best position without hurting himself more, his first instinct was to lick it. Even just a little bit to dull the pain somewhat. So, after some more painful maneuvering, that was what he did, not particularly aware of how strange it might seem to the others.

[nerminator]

the electricity had stopped flowing through tanikazi. he immediately let go of the robot leg causing a bit of a clank sound. fracking toasters tanikazi said under his breath. everyone looked at the robot like it was a friend. I swear this group tanikazi thought in his head. noticing that runo was hurt tanikazi apologized almost non-caringly oops. sorry 'bout that runo

[KatherinWinter]

Shea tried to stay out of the way as chaos erupted around her. She rushed to Run when she saw he was hurt. "You idiot!@! Do you see that you'very done! Your panic caused Reno to get hurt! Do you know how serious this injury is!!"

[twave]

Shea drew EVE's attention with her yelling. The human was displeased with what was happening. Piecing things together this was a group that had woken her. What were they doing free of their cells? What was going on? Questions only made things more complicated and that longing to be connected to the system came back. Seeing Shea and Akila move to assist Runo kept her occupied enough though. Leaning closer she studied the situation. This behavior was not something she had ever observed before. Her encounters were always with a singular subject. To some extent EVE was more interested in Shea than Runo. Was she like her? --- Wary of the cyborg, Akila kept an eye on her whilst checking on Runo's shoulder. It was broken for sure. They were going to need a way to secure it to prevent moving it too much. There were plenty of sturdy parts they could use. They were going to need something better than that in the long run though.

[nerminator]

Well sorry but runo shouldn't have gotten in my way tanikazi said disrespectfully and casually. crossing his arms and staring at the group. why the heck did we turn this damn thing on anyways

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Runo winced; apparently he couldn't twist his body enough to reach certain parts of the injury with his tongue without causing himself further injury. The small surface that he had been able to reach was healing nicely thanks to the saliva treatment, but this clearly wasn't something he could completely fix on his own. This is why it's important to have a pod, he thought sadly. For a moment, fear ran through his brain before he realized that he probably couldn't be attacked by sharks on dry land. Thankful for that, at least, he was able to calm down fairly quickly. ...But what if there was an air-breathing shark somewhere in this structure? There had been plenty of other creatures he hadn't even dreamed of meeting in here, so why not? It took quite a bit of willpower to keep from completely panicking at this thought; sharks were a very real and common threat to his way of life, so it was hard not to be nervous whenever he bled a lot. A little rattled by the idea still, he completely ignored what was going on around him and tried again to go back to licking the wound closed, even though he knew that it wouldn't be possible to complete it. The back was still all smashed up beyond his reach.

[TheDarkTemplar]

Darkness. That was all there was before and after the couple had awoken. Not that this would have been strange to them, their world was in eternal night so this was to be expected when they woke. What surprised them was that they did not wake up in their soft silk bed in their royal chamber. They awoke to find themselves rising out of strange metal tubes. These tubes opened with a sharp hissing sound accompanied by a mist. Immediately following their release the lights to their cell activated to reveal a pure white room. It was small, square room with no features to it other than ahead of them was the exit. It was not a room door or bars like that of a dungeon but a wall of light whose intensity faded in and out ever so slowly. The couple went to each other's side, whatever was going on her would not separate the two of them. For a moment the room was void of any excessive noise. Only the soft hum of the pyramid's inner workings could be heard. The silence did not last however, a voice broke the void of sound. It was emotionless and lacking life. It not only spoke to the Revenati couple but echoed throughout the entire structure, "Specimens #486 and #487 Codenames: Revenants have been released. Threat Level: High, exercise extreme caution"  The wall of light at the end of the room vanished, the two Revenati stepped out from their cell and into a long dark hallway. "Tol zul, nii saag mu los rutkei. Fahvos?"(That voice, it said we are dangerous. Why?), the female looked to her mate, with eyes of concern and anger. Could it have been their kidnappers? The male held her close and met her gaze with black white eyes saying, "Mu los do Tiidnavir Ishtal ahrk Vaerthran, nust fend faas mii"(We are of House Ishtal and Vaerthran, they should fear us.) She simply looked on, unconvinced, "Mu dreh ni mindok daar staad, aalkos mu fend diruth dirun erei mu mindok kolos mu los ahrk wo los fahdon ahrk paal"(We do not know this place, perhaps we should execute caution until we know where we are and who is friend and foe) He nodded silently and the two traveled down the halls as quietly as they could. They would walk for a good while before hearing the sounds of a struggle. They glanced at each other before Kaszear motioned for Iremea to get behind him. The noises were coming from a cell. Perhaps someone else was released and was now being attacked? But why? What was this place and why were they put here? The two inched closer and closer till they stopped next to the door. Backs to the wall Kaszear peeked ever so slightly into the room. There were...creatures, unlike any he had ever seen before. One of them was either a Revenati in her Aeta form or...that was a real living Aeta. Another seemed to be Aeta but was different. It was partially made of metal and it spoke differently than the others. It's voice did not belong to someone who was alive. The rest seemed to be a mixture of Aeta and some other beast.  Iremea whispered ever so softly, "Fos dreh hi koraav? Los nust rutkei? gein wo drun mii het?"(What do you see? Are they dangerous? The ones who brought us here?) Kaszear leaned back and into the shadows of the hallway to answer, "Zu'u. .. Zu'u lorot osos do niin los Aeta. Gein frolok med Aeta, vorey ol pruzah nuz vorohah do gelt. praan los offspring do Aeta ahrk osos sivaas."(I...I think some of them are Aeta. One looks like an Aeta, another as well but made of metal. The rest are offspring of Aeta and some beast)  "Aeta? Saad Aeta? Naal faal Rah, fos los daar staad. Dreh hi lorot mu fend lov niin? rah saag nid do niin nunon tol nust lost ni do un lein"(Aeta? Actual Aeta? By the Gods, what is this place. Do you think we should approach them? The gods said nothing of them just that they were not of our world), her hushed tone showed signs of fear and wonder. What were these beings the God shaped them after? Were they a friend of the Revenati or another curse given to them by Vinkarth? She thought for a moment as Kaszear peeked once more into the cell. "Zu'u fend tinvaak wah niin..."(I should speak to them...), she took a step towards the entrance but was held back by Kaszear who whispered harshly, "Tol los ahk rutkei Zu'u nis vos daar. Zu'u fen bo sinon."(That is too dangerous I cannot allow this. I will go instead) "Ahrk dreh fos? Areid gefaas niin, nust grozah lost neh nun un fron. Vos zey bo, mu ofun genund. Tol vonum golt fend wahl gristend ru ozuriik."( And do what? Besides frighten them, they probably have never seen our kin. Let me go, we share appearances. That common ground should make introductions run smoother) "...Rinik pruzah. Waan naan goes folaas Zu'u fen kos viilt het. Nunon kos ulaakei"(...Very well. If anything goes wrong I will be right here. Just be careful) Iremea took a deep breath, this would be the first time a Revenati had interacted with an Aetas. Entering the room she spoke, "Drem yol lok, Zu'u los Iremea. Diistkiin do Tiidnavir Ishtal ahrk vahriik wah klov do dii tiidnavir"(Greetings, I am Iremea. Firstborn of House Ishtal and heir to the head of my house). It was only after she introduced herself that the realization they did not understand her entered her mind. "How could I be so foolish!", she thought to herself. Maintaining her docile posture she spoke with as much warmth and geniality as she could. "Lig dreh ni kos zofaas, Mu seik hi nid aax. Daar los dii ahmul, Kaszear"(Please do not be afraid, We mean you no harm. This is my husband, Kaszear), she signaled Kazear to show himself and the Revenati stepped out of the darkness and into the cell. His black cloak shouding his appearance until he removed his hood.  (I usually create my own languages for this sort of thing but I'm too lazy at the moment. If curious as to what language I'm using its Dovahzul from The Elder Scrolls)

[KatherinWinter]

Well sorry but runo shouldn't have gotten in my way tanikazi said disrespectfully and casually. crossing his arms and staring at the group. why the heck did we turn this damn thing on anyways

@nerminator

"I didn't mean to turn it on! But if you hadn't attacked it this wouldn't have happened!! You need to calm down before I knock you out. I have many ways I can do that!" Shea threatened she was tired or Tanikazi getting them into these situations. She started looking around for a piece that might keep Runo's shoulder stable.

[twave]

When the alert sounded there were a couple different reactions. Akila could only imagine what the alert was talking about. There wasn't any way to tell where the escape had occurred. Thankfully it didn't seem to be drawing any attention to them at all. She did get a bit defensive when she saw EVE snap to attention. As previously stated, EVE stood up when she heard the message. The system was still active. Why couldn't she communicate with it any longer? Was she discarded? She had been left in stasis here with the abandoned factory. Once again her panic was interrupted by the newcomers. They appeared to have come out of nowhere. The translator she had built in did it's job and interpreted their language. At least they identified themselves, unlike the others. "I am not afraid."

[nerminator]

Oh yeah you little girl. its not like randomly pressing buttons on the robot would turn it on. Also Sorree for Attempting to defend you all, you know what maybe next time a drone is attempting to shot you up I Won't even bother. if thats what you want. Tanikazi said. crossing his arms. Tanikazi bundled both of his hands into fists. if shea where to try anything tanikazi would grab her arm and deflect the attack easily. assuming she didn't kick tanikazi. Also. Just try to knock me out. I'm a warrior on anima and your a...precursors knows whatever the heck you are on this little place Tanikazi taunted shea. testing how much anger she can handle. Tanikazi liked to test people, it shown how much he can get away with in desperate situations Tanikazi also failed to notice the new couple down the hallway (the two revenati people)

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Giving up on licking the wound closed the rest of the way, the merman took one last look, satisfied that he had managed to close up the outer areas, at least. The top and side of the wound were back to normal, but the back was still bleeding and the bone beneath remained broken. The most he could do now was attempt to spit in the still-open part of the wound and hope that the saliva could do its work on its own. It felt a little less painful, anyway. Finally able to take his mind off the dulled pain for a bit, Runo stood and approached Shea, placing a hand on her arm and giving her a look of gratitude. The furred one didn't seem to understand that he had been trying to protect him just as much as the new female entity they had encountered, but the merman could appreciate that at least the scientist cared about the well-being of her companions. Even if she might have been told to turn them over as prisoners, he had a hard time seeing her as someone untrustworthy. For the kitsune, however, he flicked some of the blood from his shoulder onto his face. He decided that it was lucky that the significance of such an action in his culture would go unknown by him. Any further action was halted at the sound of another voice as yet another completely new entity entered the room. Pushing Shea behind him with his good arm, gently this time, he prepared himself to defend in case it showed any signs of aggression. Oddly enough, it only seemed to be trying to communicate, so he started to relax slightly. He looked curiously toward the hybrid girl as she seemed to be the only one to understand what had just been said.

[nerminator]

Tanikazi stepped back. dodging the flinging blood Who the frack flings blood at people?! Tanikaz thought. the blood splattering a tiny bit on the ground. Making a tiny little mess, and then some other people joined the fray, weirdly Tanikazi could hear them all, whatever that weird emerald necklace was doing it was sure helping Tanikazi a lot. turning around after Tanikazi stepped back a tiny bit and said Yeah nice to meet ya, I'm Tanikazi and this angry person over here is shea Tanikazi pointed at shea. This fish dude person over here is Runo, and this weird chick is named......uhhh Ailki or some crap and this weird as Frack thing that I'm not sure why we turned on is. I don't really know Tanikazi introducted everyone. to the new and weird Goths Tanikazi has actually failed to remember Akila's name ironically.
