Yes, Korie has their own bathroom.

DEAL WITH IT.

And yes, they were just teasing about being/revealing to be a boy.
After hearing what both Antwon and Ian had to say, and finishing their meal, Korie sighed a bit to themselves and thinking a bit over what they had said. Before smiling towards Takeo and giving him a small wave. Unlike their normal smile, this one seemed genuine as they stood up and approached the vending machine once again, this time getting two more coffees with their card.

Approaching Antwon normally, they place one can in front of them and smiled softly. “I apologize for that, I was out of line… and you’re right, I don’t have any real answers,” looking up, they smiled a bit more, trying to give off warmer feeling.

“If you feel like hitting me for what I said, then I understand. My advice was crude, and I know when I’m in the wrong, just know that we will have to get along since we will be on the same team.”

Exiting the room with the extra can of coffee, but not before waving goodbye to Takeo and Antwon, Korie made their way to the restroom specially made for them due to their specific request. On the way there, they paused and watched as Ian went into the bathroom with a wet face. Sighing, Korie just waited until finally they came back out with their usual chipper attitude.

“Oh, Ian, I almost forgot, this one is for you. You will need something to wash down the taste of kissing a boy out of your mouth,” spoke Korie as they shoved another can of coffee into their hand. Giving Ian a small smile, Korie punched Ian on the arm softly before heading towards their own special bathroom. “Sorry for earlier. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must use the little girl’s room,” they said as they entered the strange room that was undoubtedly a bathroom made specifically for them… which also had a sign that was equally confusing with a pear being strangled by a tentacle.
@Treepuncher121

Hm... I think it's fine. Accepted.

Also, OP is up.


“Hah… so this is where we have been running to…” spoke the man in a gentle voice as he jogged across the transparent water with a simple smirk upon his face. His appearance was covered under the stars in this realm… this realm that each led to another one. Each that held a chance of fate, desire, and another destiny within them.

“Oh… so they have come to Kite?” said the small child next to the man with the singular horn on the side of his head as he approached the large tree reaching high into the stars above.

“More like I had to bring them to Kite… but yes, they are here now child. The tree here is pretty is it not?”

“It’s very pretty! How long would it take to reach the top if I were to start climbing it now?” she asked as she looked at it with a gleaming smile.

“I doubt you’d ever reach the top, child… for this tree reaches all of those stars you see above.”

“R-Really…? B-But you told me that this tree is much younger than you, teacher… So how old are you?!”

“Hmmm…” The one horned man tilted his head and looked towards somewhere far away… somewhere that probably only he could see with his eye. After much silence, the little girl pouted causing the man to chuckle, before he gave off an answer. “A long, long time. I’ve been here since there were but only darkness in the skies before us, child.”

“S-So… when there were no stars?”

“That is correct, dearest.”

“Wow… You’re really old then, teacher…”

“Oh come on now… I’m not that old.”

“Weren’t you lonely being here by yourself?”

“No, I wasn’t, for there was a time another by my side. We were like brothers.”

“What happened to him, teacher?”

“…You’ll find out soon enough, child, when those who have entered Kite meet one another. I do hope they’ll make it here safely to this sacred land.”

“I’m sure they will, teacher, because it was you who brought them here after all!”

As the two finished talking, the light from the stars finally began to shine upon the shadow covered man, revealing his entire self as he stood smiling with an innocent smile.

The world that you were brought into is unlike any that you have seen before. The forest is warm yet cool at the same time, and the air is filled with odd yet refreshing feeling. This world's atmosphere is unlike anything you have seen or sensed before. The air immediately fills your lungs and you can feel yourself being filled with unnatural strength.

You can see birds with unnaturally long beaks that look as if they could disembowel themselves breaking open rocks filled with strange worms, who almost immediately begin to eat them while others watch you with curiosity. Not only that, but you can see what appears to be large monkeys with hooked tails and rabbit-like ears watching you from the branches up above... strange creatures indeed. You are definitely no longer on Earth.

The most strange thing is that you don't see no other humans nearby, despite the fact that you remember a voice telling you that you indeed were brought here with others. Although, there's probably no use complaining about it. For now, you're left to your own devices, and the animals don't seem too hostile so far...


So, new dweller of Kite, your fate is in your hands... what is it that you will do? The options are endless.
@Gnar The Missing LinkWhat do you mean by noises, do you means whispers, ambience, or is it just up to us?


It's up to you, but for now none of the noises are clear, they are just muffled off.

Maybe upon achieving 100% will the noises be cleared, but even then there aren't any guarantees.

EDIT: Inb4 Elora starts out over 90%, but due to panic and mental weakness drops down into low. Also, could we have that information in a folder in the OP?

Sure thing!

Edit: Synchro Information and Rates have been added to the OOC Main Post.
@Raijinslayer

Right now, I'll explain what the margins mean:

The higher one's synchro rate the more in tune one feels with their Framewerk- the more it feels like it's an extension of one's body rather than just a hunk of metal covering you and protecting you as a tool. You will feel as if you and the Framewerk are 'one and the same' rather than you controlling something.

From 80-89% you would feel that the Framewerk is like your own body and that you can perform things you couldn't before.

90-94% and onward is when you can hear noises from the experimental Framewerk... almost like you are no longer alone on the battlefield. How you handle this is dependent on your characters.

95%+ you unlock the special ability of your Framewerk; it's true power.

65-79% is roughly, give or take, the average synch ratio of most Pilots who have piloted a Framework after many years- those who fall into this ranking are usually those who have survived a few fights against the Cruxi. To start here it does not at all mean you are lacking, but it means are you in fact stronger than the average soldier by a long mile. Being pilots who aged 14-16 and are able to pull off this synch ratio is a gift. You are able to pull off well-thought out maneuvers and move in ways that would take soldiers years to pull off.

40-64% is where the Framewerk will start to feel clunky and begin to feel more and more like a burden and a tool as you reach the 40% tile. You will have to pilot your Framewerk more by 'force' rather than as an extension of your body than anything else.

1-40% or the danger zone. At most times this is where your Framewerk will begin to go into a 'lag' state of mind, or will halt it's orders and proceed to do things of its own. Usually this is because the Pilot is in a ill-state of mind or unconscious, but there are unknown reasons that have been yet to discovered for this odd behavior in the experimental Frameworks. Nonetheless, it is highly advised that the pilot is evacuated immediately... before the next state is activated.

-1~100% is the negative synchro rate, something that rarely happens, but can happen. As a pilot's state of mind deteriorates on the battlefield, the experimental Framewerks will respond to this as a result in order to protect their pilot and enter a state of mind called "CULLING". The Framewerk will enter a Berserk-like state and proceed to destroy and eliminate everything that it deems an immediate threat to the pilot's sanity and safety in order to keep them safe, even if it means killing allies or foes alike. What does mean is the Framewerk itself will take control and proceed to rampage on the battlefield.

____________________________________________________

Everyone's synchro rates upon starting a mission start at what is given in my previous post, so you may want to keep that in your character sheets somewhere, but they may or may not decrease depending on their state of mind during the battle or what is happening... or if something has happened to them beforehand.

After each mission, depending on how well the mission went, I'll tell everyone how well their Synchro rate improved depending on how their 'mental' state has improved based based upon a d6, although, I may or may not add or subtract modifiers if things went extremely well or extremely poorly to give it a more 'Evangelion' and 'Mass Effect' feel.

Remember, we are at war here against a very powerful race that has us pushed into a corner... so things may or may not go as planned, and how you all handle that in situations like that will effect your characters mental strain.

This is, after all, a RP that can quickly switch be a calm to be horrific on the fly. So how your characters handle that will be tricky.
@Ariamis

They are a thing! And speaking of them...

Utano – Synchro Rate : 72%
Serah – Synchro Rate : 73%
Sigma – Synchro Rate : 78%
Elora – Synchro Rate : 91%
Takeo Synchro Rate : 84%
Antwon Synchro Rate : 78%
Ian – Synchro Rate : 69%
Zan – Syncrho Rate : 99%
Korie – Synchro Rate : 90%

Here they are! I used a D33, rolled three times, and added them all up to determine everyone's synch rate with their Framewerk. Currently, Zan is the strongest getting an almost perfect score and has unlocked the ability to use their Framework's Special Ability by passing the 95% margin.

These ratios will increase over time until everyone has reached 100% with their Frameworks and has unlocked their special abilities, so don't worry.
Ian Uses French Kiss on Korie!

It's Not Very Effective...

Korie uses Dick Background Tactics on Ian and Antwon.

It's Super Effective?
Standing up, Korie promptly walked towards Ian without even a trace of embarrassment across their face. Approaching Ian, Korie took their card back and immediately spat on the floor. “Forgive the reek breath, I thought you would have been accustomed to it considering you grew up in the slums like an orphaned rat after your family died,” spoke Korie as they stared directly into Ian’s eyes with a smile. With that statement alone, it was clear Korie knew Ian’s upbringing. “Knowledge is power and you’d do best to remember that.”

“Another thing, my gender is unimportant since we are all humans... and if you’re truly aiming to only get your carnal urges satiated look elsewhere, for I am uninterested and never will be. I’d also like it if you’d refrain from touching me again in such a manner, since once I become Squad Leader and if I see that you’re continuing to make trouble, I will kill you myself if I deem you a hindrance to the squad.”

“Oh, and Antwon,” Korie looked towards the one who casually ‘swatted’ them aside, “Do change that attitude and do at least try to at least put up a fight… so that you can at least be able to protect someone this time instead of leaving them to die,” they said with a clear indication of Antwon’s own past. Without another word Korie returned to their spot and put take out a container from their pocket. Opening it up, Korie took out one of the many small tubes with liquids in it, most likely mouthwash and rinsed their mouth before spitting into a nearby waste bin. It seems that this hasn’t been the first time that they’ve been kissed randomly by someone in order to get a response. Putting the tube back and closing the container, Korie sat back down and returned to their meal next to Takeo. “Your drink is going to get cold by the way,” murmured Korie as if the incident before was perfectly normal and had not even happened.
Ah, Ian, and he/she is referring to the fact that they revealed so much about their Framewerk.
