Armory
ADVENTURE!
Gren and Shiro were working hard distracting themselves and preserving Sangue's innocence. Shiro was off doing something actually constructive while Gren just started to organize wires and parts together. Though as he was messing around with them, he did actually start thinking of what he'd need to make the internal bits of Sangue's arm. While Shiro would no double make the bult of the parts, Gren would be the one to ask Shiro what needs to be made and put together. As long as Gren can get those parts, making the arm would be a breeze. As he was mapping out the inner workings of the arm, Sapphire questioned him. He felt somewhat offended again that she thinks Gren can't find reliable sources. Sure his family weren't exactly well known for anything in particular, but that didn't mean everything they had was bootleg.
"My dad. He used to be a captain back during the war, and the doc was in the peace corps. After a few of my dad's friends got their limbs blown off, she helped them... Well not get back to the fighting, but not die. They kept in touch since then. After the war she continued to study and went from army surgeon to an orthotist. Admittedly, she did leave the peace corps after hearing that many of the old vets from the war were wasting away in civilian life, mostly due to their mutilations severely limiting their career options. Not everyone can afford proper replacement limbs after all, but she tried anyways. So yeah, she's a professional. An affordable, low budget professional who typically caters to veterans and victims of war."Of course this was also leaving out the fact she left the peace corps because she went to join the White Fang, as many of the faunas who had suffered during the war were either low priority or even ignored. This was, of course, back before the White Fang became violent extremists and she simply wanted to use her service for her people (Racist as it may have seemed). She left before Gren did, but she was also the one who fitted Gren with his cybernetics at first. Of course after Gren committed himself to being a terrorist she also cut ties with him. The only reason he can even contact her know was because she helped him get out of the White Fang, and even then she is still horrified by the things he did. It would take a lot of begging and favors to get her to help Gren even if he was doing this for someone else. But that was a small price to pay.
As for the rest of it, Gren was jut happy that she was willing to try. Admittedly Gren didn't need Sapphire's help, but for the sake of making her feel useful Gren was willing to let her be involved in this project. Last thing Gren needed was someone stopping him and Shiro from helping Sangue just because they didn't trust him.
"Anyways, now that Sangue wants to, let's be off to the Emerald Forest!" Shortly after Sapphire also questioned why he wanted to go the to Emerald Forest. He rolled his eyes at her questioning until he looked back on his info and noticed that it was actually
Forever Fall that they had their initiation at. He realized this when he was looking up the article about the Titianite mine and noticed that it said Forever Fall. What had caught Gren's attention more however was that it was "Often used as the testing grounds for Beacon's Initiations", which Gren had associated with the Emerald Forest. Gren tried to play it cool and pretend he didn't mess that up.
"Titanite, Sapphire. A metal alloy that would allow even the weakest metals to become more durable without adding too much extra weight or mass. Since using the top shelf stuff might make this project even more expensive then me or Shiro can afford, we figured we could forage the stuff ourselves. That old mine we fought the big robot during our initiation was a titanite mine, but closed down due to a sudden surge of Grimm infesting the place, as well as the machines there going on a rampage. Admittedly, I don't know if we will find any Titanite there. We might come back empty handed! But, we don't know until we look, and even if we don't find anything, it'll be fun. I'm sure we could at least recycle something there anyways, plus clean up the grimm there. It'll be a community service! And ah, ahem, we just need to find an airship for Forever Falls as soon as possible."Smooth like butter.
Putting his equipment away Gren walked over to his workbench were the God Eater laid in pieces. He vaguely remembered thanks to some of his recorded logs that during his lulls between trying to make that jetpack, he started working on the God Eater and trying to improve it. Mainly, he wanted to try to minimize it's bifurcation. While it was certainly awesome to switch between his Terror and Destroyer form, he felt it would be more useful if he has access to both forms at all times. That way he could chop, smash, shoot, and explode things simultaneously. Alas he hasn't really accomplished much since it took him a good few hours just to dissemble the damn thing. Fortunately putting it back together was much easier, and shorter then it took for him to put on clothes the God Eater was back together.
"Note to self: The God Eater is a really stupid and edgy name. Gods, this is why you don't let a teenager make creative decisions..." Gren chuckled to himself as he slung the giant weapon on his back. He turned to Shiro, Sangue, and Sapphire with a smirk on his face.
"Meet me by the air docks in ten minutes! IT'S ADVENTURE TIME!" Gren grabbed another prototype jetpack from his worktable and went to one of the many holes in the roof, safely away from the others and anything that could be turned into shrapnel. Strapping the jetpack to his back he activated it, causing a sizable explosion that launched him through the hole of the roof and somewhere in the general direction of the dormitory.
@NarayanK@harinezumikouken@Prince of Seraphs"Food! Food!"Scoot rapidly climbed around Cian's body, at first crawling into a pocket, then sitting on her shoulder, then perched on her head, before finally jumping off and running around her feet. He kept shouting for food around her before running off. However he did stop and look at Cian, shouting for her.
"Food! Follow!" Scoot seemed to want Cian to follow him, mostly due to the experiments somewhat heightening his intelligence. Not only did Pop's experiments on him awaken Scoot's aura, but also increased his body's physical abilities and mental prowess. Somewhat anyways. Namely, Scoot was somewhat more omnivorous in the sense that he can eat a wide selection of meats, where most ferrets require freshly killed small vermin, or specialized ferret food. His intelligence, which not only allows him to become a more effective hunter, also allowed him to understand commands, orders, and recognize that it's far easier for him to get food if other people get it for him.
Scoot moved fast, but he did stop to shout for Cian to follow. He was heading towards the city of Vale.. Though a country ferret at heart, even Scoot knew what sort of glorious bounties were available in the city. Unlike Beacon where most prey did well to avoid, the city was crawling with all sorts of rats, moles, and other small creatures for Scoot to hunt. The only reason he didn't stay in the city was because he liked sleeping in Abel's bed. More importantly however, the city had delicious food that he simply couldn't get hunting. Stuff like fried chicken, which was horribly unhealthy for Scoot and would kill him if he was a normal ferret. But he wasn't, and he was going to enjoy every minute of it.
But while he was running, something else piqued Scoot's interest. He noticed a boy, a somewhat familiar face at Beacon, just hanging out. Scoot only vaguely remembered him, knowing that he's a student at Beacon. But so was Cian, and the whole reason he even took her here was because Scoot wanted Cian to get him food. So if he had this stranger, Jack, get him food too, that'll be more food! There was no way this could go wrong.
"Food!" Scoot telepathically shouted to Cian and Jack. Jack would soon notice an albino rodent run up to him before stopping a few feet in front of him, a paw raised in the air as if waving at him.
"Food! Follow!" Scoot proceeded to circle around Jack's feet, nimbly avoiding them in case he accidentally or intentionally tries to stomp on him, before running off a few meters away in the direction of the city. Adventure awaits.
