[IC] The Pyramid

[TheDarkTemplar]

From the reactions of the Aeta Iremea could tell that some of them understood her. The only problem now was for her to understand them. The Bond should be able to remedy that. "Frolaaz zey nuz Zu'u dreh ni mindoraan hi, voth hin orlaavend Zu'u fund med wah..."(Forgive me but I do not understand you, with your consent I would like to), this was the hard part. How would she be able to explain the bond to then in a way they'd understand, "Zu'u fund med wah doj hin tinvok"(I would like to learn your language). It would be better to simply show them.  Kaszear in the meantime simply raised his hood over his head. Through the shadow of his hood his eyes glowed white like stars in the night sky. He examined each of the Aeta before him: the one with a furry tail seemed...fiery to say the least. Another looked to of Ikin(fish) and Aeta which would have been strange but these other Aeta were not so different from him. The only one he recognized as a true Aeta was Shea. So this is what the gods intended Iremea to be like. Why? What was so special about them? They fought amongst each other instead of working together for the betterment of their House...That was another question. Did these Aeta live as the Revenati do? It was obvious they did not but did they have houses was what he wondered? Perhaps Iremea would find the answers he had with The Bond. But all these questions were not meant to belittle the Aeta. He respected them, there must have been a great reason made the Revenati in their image. He just wanted to know what the reason was.

Akila stood up and approached the two Revenati. She was not going to leave this up to Tanikazi or the new girl, though she did seem to understand what was going on. The language they used was elegant and the female was soft spoken. While the male had not said a word he had made no indication that he held any hostility. Likewise Akila made sure that her demeanor was just as friendly. They wanted to learn their language. Akila herself did not know any but her own. Were it not for the power granted to her she would be completely lost. Bowing her head as a gesture of respect she spoke. Her voice had a strange echo, a result of using her power to communicate. "It is an honor to meet you. My name is Akila. Please excuse our disorder. We have not had the best experience since waking in this place." Gesturing back to the group. "We all speak different languages. I understand because it is a gift that was bestowed upon me. It is also how I communicate with you now. You say you want to learn our languages?" Despite not speaking in the same tongue Akila's words were translated as she spoke them so they could be understood.

Something about not knowing our language and wanting to learn it and other crap. Tanikazi explained to shea. No crap scout! Tanikazi commented on Akilwhatever's explaination to the newcomers. Tanikazi pulled out his cartoon and put another ciggarete in his mouth. shutting the top. Tanikazi pulled out a primitive silver lighter he still had in his pocket and flicked it open. lighting the ciggarete and putting the lighter back in his pocket gracefully. Tanikazi's Tail floated in the air and a orange gleam came from his ciggarete as he walked next to akila and stood next to her. curious about the weird-looking newcomers

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Runo was grateful for Akila's sort-of translation, since he officially had no clue what was going on. Since the newcomers didn't appear to be any kind of threat, though, he stepped away from his position in front of Shea. Honestly, he probably wouldn't have been able to do much more than take another few hits, anyway, so he wouldn't have been much of a good defense at the moment. As he looked on curiously, however, he soon noticed something and started to shy away from the entire group. Those awful air-burning things were back! Having still not recovered fully from the previous destruction of his throat, he certainly wasn't willing to risk further injury, but where could he even go to in this enclosed space? After looking around a bit frantically, he clutched at his shoulder again and tried to make his way back to the door. He wasn't sure where he could go, and he regretted not getting the chance to learn more about the newcomers, but considering everything else up until now, he couldn't stay there with something that wanted so badly to kill him. He would rather go wait in the tank where he wouldn't be bothered anymore.

To her surprise Akila's words were understood perfectly. Finally there would be understanding with both parties. "It is a pleasure to meet you Akila. You say you all awoke from this place? We had hoped this place was of your kin's construction..", it would seem the Revenati would not find the answers to the questions they had. These Aeta seemed to be prisoners here as well. She looked to Kaszear who, by the look on his face, recieved the message as well. "Waan nii lost ni faal Aeta ruz wo?"(If it was not the Aeta then who?), she asked him. Kaszear was not so easily dissuaded from the idea that it was the Aeta who brought them here. "Nii vust kos nok. Daar gein (Akila) qiilaan ahk nel. Zu'u lost nunon mindok ziin joriin wah qiilaan ful das koraav tir : daar wo los sahlo ahrk qiilaak wah vorey, ahrk daar wo ofaal hindah wah grut hi ko aluntiid.(It could be lies. This one (Akila) bows too quick. I have only known two people to bow so soon after seeing an outsider : those who are weak and submit to others, and those who gain favor to betray you in the future)", he said with a look of suspicion towards Akila.  Before Iremea could reply Kaszear noticed Tanikazi walking over to Akila. Unsure whether to simply stand by her side or for reason unknown, Kaszear moved forward putting an arm between Iremea and the two Aeta. Another of them began to move towards them and to the door. This put Kaszear on edge. Were they preparing to attack and that one was going to block the door? If so his priority was protecting his wife. He eyed down the one heading for the door while motioning for Iremea to step away from the two Aeta.  Iremea placed her hand on his arm, "Kaszear, fos los folaas?(Kaszear, what is wrong?" she had never seen him this tense before. Mostly because she saw him when he was...working.  "Zu'u dreh ni ov niin.(I do not trust them)", he replied turning his attention from the one heading for the door to the two beast Aeta. His fangs began to show as he prepared for whatever came next.  "Stiildus hinmaar, lokaal. Nust lost genun mii nid drensepaal ful gut ahrk Zu'u korah nust los nunon ol jeyk ol mii. Mu praag wah kroson pahvoth. Los tol ni fos un fron dreh?(Calm yourself, love. They have shown us no hostility so far and I believe they are just as confused as us. We need to work together. Is that not what our kin do?)" "Nunon fah un Tiidnavir tol los...(Only for our House that is..) "Fah tiid nahlii mu los pah do gein Tiidnavir ahrk nii los ko un pruzaan kusah wah kroson pahvoth wah daal hofkiin.(For the time being we are all of one House and it is in our best interest to work together to return home)", Iremea lowered her husband's hand. She would not allow his paranoia to distrupt possibly their only chance of understanding this place and finding allies as well. "With you'r permission Akila I'd like to...I'm not sure how to explain this. To put it simply, enter your mind"

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Although his only goal had been just to leave the room, the look that the second newcomer sent the merman stopped him in his tracks. Perhaps it hadn't been a good idea to take a route that would lead him so close to them, especially if this one seemed ready to attack. Had he misjudged their intentions? Tightening his grip on his still-broken shoulder only to wince at the pain again, he backed up slightly, unsure of what to do. He couldn't stay here, but if they wouldn't let him leave... Feeling defeated and only more scared, Runo kept backing up until he met one of the walls. Slumping back down to the floor, he curled up and camouflaged himself to match the wall again. He would just have to hold his breath and stay hidden for the time being. He missed his pod more than ever. If only he could at least see Xicca again...

@TheDarkTemplar

I can still hear you. Tanikazi told the newcomers. It wasn't very smart to announce how much you trust people to a group. They're doing wonders for my self esteem Tanikazi thought. and apparently they wanted to enter Akila's brain or some other weird crap. Tanikazi wondered where the robot went. it just disappeared weirdly and became silent, Tanikazi didn't trust the newcomers, especially the man, If they are having trust issues then its obvious they don't trust anyone. There really wasn't much people Tanikazi could trust at all. So you want to enter her mind? I'm sorry but thats hil- I mean I don't really know how the heck that will work Tanikazi asked the newcomers. He originally wanted to say Hilariously stupid but that was insanely rude or whatever.

[twave]

After Iremea finished speaking the first thought Akila was going to answer. The process was cut off though as Kaszear began to get defensive. Picking up on part of the conversation she glanced back to see that Tanikazi and Runo had approached them. Nothing it seemed was ever easy with this group, even when unintentional. Waiting patiently for the couple to finish. She would get to the final question but she felt there were things that needed to be covered first. "It's true. We do not know for sure who created this structure. But it does closely resemble the pyramids that are on the world where Shea and I come from." On to the next comment which was actually quite insulting. "I know not of where you come nor your culture. But you do me a disservice to insult mine. You do not strike me as ordinary. Iremea shows poise and wisdom above that of a commoner." Crossing her arms she mused on how to convey her situation. She had not yet even had the chance to tell Shea as promised. "I attempt to not to be like my fellow gods. They can be very cruel and indifferent to the plights of mortals. Unlike them I know what it is like to be human." She could not be sure if the Aeta they referred to was human or not. They seemed to be revered to some extent by them. If they were human then it wouldn't be too far off from the likes of a Pharaoh. She could not be sure if this was helping at all. Kaszear was more difficult to read than his wife. "I have no intention of harming anyone. We are all trapped in here together whether we like it or not. And if you were to look you will see that Runo is already injured and in no condition to fight." Akila was cut off briefly by EVE piping up. "Fighting is prohibited." She said it in a matter of fact kind of tone, as if they all should know about it already. Having said her piece she continued looking at all the robot parts that were in the back. The strange robot girl was an enigma to Akila. On one hand she knew things about this place, but on the other she acted naive almost child like. If anything Tanikazi was right to be wary of that one. "Tanikazi, could you keep an eye on her? Please refrain from making any rash decisions." That reminded Akila about the drones they encountered. If anything it might help unite the group. "You have not encountered them, but there are mechanical beings that wish to put us all back into the cells we have escaped from." She looks back at EVE. "I believe that the hybrid is one of them, or was. She does not exhibit the same behavior unless provoked. We have only just found her and do not know if she is friend of foe." With that out of the way it was time to address the question at the end. The request was an unusual one and she could not tell right away what all it entailed. Was Iremea a sorceress? "Perhaps I do not understand the question at the end. What do you mean, enter my mind?" It was an intriguing proposition. Wondering to herself, could it be like that of the scarab? There was a mental link between her and it that she had yet to understand after all this time.

[KatherinWinter]

Shea watched the interaction nervously. She couldn't blame Tanikazi. Distrust this time. There was something about this group that made her nervous. Maybe it was her inability to understand them. Or maybe her patience had finally reached a breaking point. Either way she was wary of the newcomers.

[nerminator]

Yeah I got it, Tanikazi said, walking away from the Distrustful newcomers Just when I didn't get enough idiots, turning around and leaning against a wall not to far away glaring at that robot girl who Shocked Tanikazi, why the heck do we even have that damn rust bucket, I swear, 5 bags of rice it turns on us Tanikazi thought bitterly, glaring at the metal thing

[TheDarkTemplar]

"I apologize for Kaszear's words. His line of work keeps him...wary of strangers", Iremea explained "But I assure you his intentions are well placed. As for these machines you mentioned, Kaszear may have the skills necessary to deal with them". Iremea was certain that despite her husband's skills the two of them alone would be no match for these machines. It would be better to stay with a group. At least until a way out of this place was discovered. "To answer your question The Bond is what I wished to perform with you. The best way I can describe it is that it will allow me to enter your mind and as long as the bond is not broken we share whatever abilities, knowledge, memories, and feelings we each permit the other to see. I would hope to use this so I could communicate with the other Aeta" As Iremea and Akila spoke, Kaszear took a step back to examine the other Aeta. The one called Runo who had been making a move for the door had disappeared somewhere despite Kaszear not seeing him exit the room. The fur tailed Aeta was standing guard over the metal one. There seemed to be no unity with this group which he felt would create problems later. The one he considered "The Pureblood Aeta" was watching nervously as Iremea and Akila spoke. "Fun zey pureblood, fahvos los hi het? Daar Aeta fon hilkiin nuz hi. .. hi los unlike niin. Zok grozah ni do daar staad, ful fos drun hi het?(Tell me pureblood, why are you here? These Aeta seem hybrids but you...you are unlike them. Most likely not of this place, so what brought you here?)", despite him knowing she could not understand him Kaszear spoke to see her reaction. He made an effort to make his tone as interrogating as possible hoping to gauge her character. Was she a warrior? A noble? A scholar? Perhaps a magister? Her reaction would tell him.

[twave]

Akila studied Kaszear, probably an action he would not like. Of course he was doing the same to them so it was mutual. Just standing here was not going to get them anywhere though. If anything Iremea's proposal was more likely to settle things than anything. Akila nodded softly. "I accept your offer. I will share what I know with you."

[TheDarkTemplar]

Iremea smiled, "Thank you, this should take but a moment" she said before placing her middle and index finger on Akila's right temple. In a matter of moments a series of voices, their words unintelligible, began to echo throughout both their minds and images of Egypt along with the Revenati Realm were shown in fragments to each other. As quickly as the process began it ended and now not only was Iremea able to speak to everyone else, Akila was given a glimpse into the Revenati home world. She was able to see the eternal night of the realm along with the glimmering ocean's. She could see the uniquely beautiful cities with their impressive spires and the violet forests which spanned as far as the eye could see.

[twave]

In the exchange Iremea would of course see much of the architecture that Egypt had to offer and life by the Nile. One experience in particular she chose to share, her life before her transformation. Of course some of her time as an Egyptian goddess was also included along with what little they knew of the place they were all in now. "Your home is lovely. I have never seen anything like it." That detail actually gave Akila pause. What was just seen appeared to be another realm.

"I apologize for Kaszear's words. His line of work keeps him...wary of strangers", Iremea explained "But I assure you his intentions are well placed.

@TheDarkTemplar

Would you believe I was abducted by robots Tanikazi said to the newcomers, half caring half not, until they started doing some weird crap too akila What the heck? Tanikazi whispered to himself, taking his eyes off the robot he was supposed to guard,

[twave]

While Tanikazi was distracted EVE made use of an old console to manually check the status of the room. What she found gave her pause and at first she wasn't sure what to do. Disabling the console she turned and walked over next to Tanikazi. "I have been decommissioned." This was a new experience. The cyborg couldn't quite make heads or tails of what she was feeling. Completely lost she stared ahead for a while before eventually turned her gaze toward the kitsune. "What do I do?" Everything was wrong. She should be part of the system and doing tasks given to her by it. Thinking on her own had become a foreign concept that frightened her. Fear, she was experiencing fear. Others were right there in front of her and yet she felt so alone. Still her outward expression held cold. But it likely wouldn't last for long.

@t2wave

Tanikazi stared a tiny bit at the other people and began looked back at where he last saw that dumb rust bucket, saw that damn thing right in front of him saying some dumb crap, Tanikazi let out a girly scream and thrown his fist forward towards the metal things head out of a jumpscared surprise,

[twave]

The punch made contact and EVE fell back. She clutched her face not having felt pain in some time. Pulling her hand back she looked at the small amount of blood on her hand from her nose. It was also something she hadn't encountered in a while. It was one of the few signs that she wasn't just a machine. It seemed to distract her even more than the pain and kept her from retaliating.

[nerminator]

Tanikazi's hand must've exploded into a thousand pieces, Because thats what it felt like ugh punching metal, Not a smart idea He thought shaking his hand and looking at the cuts and scraps on his hand he then looked at that rust bucket and noticed The blood was from EVE not Tanikazi, Tanikazi didn't even bother to apologize it probably didn't care, This place never fails to surprise me Tanikazi whispered to himself.

[twave]

One of her fingers glow and she swipes it over the cut she just received. It didn't completely heal, but was sealed up and on well on its way. Getting back to her feet EVE looked at Tanikazi. Her expression was finally looking less cold, more curious now. "You scare easily. Why?"
