The War of the Three

@The 42nd Gecko Sorry the response was so short. I feel like any action from Beast at this point beyond sitting still will likely only make things worse for Miyu mentally.

The War of the Three

Zak

Irritation bled through in Zak's expression as he glared at Harley. Each time she was in his presence, the mismatched girl managed to push buttons he didn't even know he had. That, and the fact that she seemed to enjoy it made him begin to reconsider his little makeshift alliance with her. "Hoodwinked? Ah'll show ye hoodwinked ye little-" The sudden sputter of mechanical sounds and robotic words cut Zak off just before he could kick off another rant. Looking over, it became clear the robotic sniper had finally resumed function. Well, as much function as it could with no arms or legs. After a moment of silent observance, swiftly followed by more snide remarks from the quick tongued girl, Zak stepped toward Marquise. "Believe me 'little girl' if Ah wanted to scrap the bloody thing Ah would have. But silent heaps o' metal don't make fer very good intel." Zak looked back at Harley. "Still, Ah don't see how any o' that is valuable to me. It's not like Ah can torture the answers out o' the bloody thing considerin robits don't feel." Zak scoffed. "If all me technological know how wasn't stripped away, Ah might've hacked it...alas Ah'm as savvy as a bag o' doorknobs when it comes to tech. So how do ye suggest Ah get any worth out o' this thing?"

A low strained groan escaped the golem as it finally fell onto its rear, the life and flames fading from its body. The rocky bits that made up the rest of its body crumbled to the ground in a heap leaving Marquise in a pile of ashes and charred stones. Kneeling down, pushing away a few rocks and brushing off the thin layer of dust from the worse for ware robot, Zak let Marquise get a real good look at him and Harley before giving the bot a ingenuous smile. "Well hello there sleepy head. Ah see ye've finally decided to reboot er whatever yer lot does. Ah wouldn't worry too much about where ye are. Jus' sit pretty while we grown ups figure out what ye might be good fer other than as a paper weight."

In all regards, Zak could have cared less about what intelligence or information the bot may have had. It's not like he really cared for the war since there would never be any real victory anyway. The only thing that interested him was the value Marquise may have had to Eos. Someone who would send a rescue party for something as valuable as Marquise was made out to be if he was indeed that important. Still, if Harley knew of some way to extract information from a machine, Zak was all ears. Otherwise, Marquise was as good as scrap. "Ah suppose we could try askin nicely." The fiery haired angel looked down at Marquise. "Oi mister robot...Tell us all the secrets o' yer queen an' Hyperion...please."

B.E.A.S.T

Beast sat idly by the side of its master, silently looking at Miyu with its eyeless gaze as she laid motionless on the floor. The low ragged breathes that reverberated from its massive body were the only sound to quietly breach the lengthy silence and stillness that overtook the moment. Other then the slightly abnormal but ultimately healthy vital signs, there was no way for Beast to discern what was going through the mind of its host. It couldn't register or understand the suicidal behavior she was exhibiting either. It simply continued following its programing as it had been. The text that scrolled across her vision continued to monitor her, as well as Beast. Notably, it was less text than before, the data sitting relatively idle compared to earlier, just like the angel and her new 'friend'.

--Host behavior erratic--Cause unknown--Defect scans negative--Awaiting command--

@The 42nd GeckoWelp, maybe Miyu will "accidentally" issue a command to tie this together. Only this time close enough to Beast for him to hear.

The War of the Three

Miyu didn't see or feel any of it because, as mentioned before, she was FLYING away.

@The 42nd Gecko

@The 42nd Gecko
Beast didn't hear her cause she was FLYING away.

The War of the Three

@FlamelordAh

The War of the Three

@RyonaraBy the way Shizuka is an angel if I understand correctly right? She is just on the Machina side due to her sister right?

The War of the Three

@RyonaraIt's not heaven. I believe Gecko said it's an old factory on some random unimportant world in the nexus. As for travel, the best I can do is request that @The 42nd Gecko find a way to have Miyu send Beast back into space once he's returned to his meteor/egg form. Then I can have him land wherever.

@TheWindelCut me some slack. I skim through some things on occasion. Plus I'm relatively new and I may have read through the backlogs of the IC but not super thoroughly. Mostly just enough to familiarize myself with the setting, some notable events/people/places, and what was currently going on.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel Is she human or machine or cyborg?

The War of the Three

@Inner Demon

If all else fails, I will have Bastion befriend the metal death monster.

@TheWindel

Does Bastion have a cs?

@Inner Demon

Shizuka was actually looking for a pet. And while the Beast might not the the cute little carpet pisser she was looking for, she's not too picky. Mind if I have Shizuka stumble onto him in my next post?

@Ryonara

I don't mind at all. Just take caution while Miyu is still bonded to him. Until she successfully kills herself or finds a way to disown him, he's highly dangerous by nature to pretty much anyone who looks at her funny unless commanded otherwise. Someone in an enemy faction would probably get the worse of it.

The War of the Three

@Inner Demon

Why wouldn't she try to kill Beast: Same reason she wouldn't try to kill Deva. She views her success rate as laughable.

Why wouldn't she try to give a command: She already gave commands and they were ignored.

Why wouldn't she do science/experimentation: She IS going to be doing this. She's finding out how Beast succeeds or fails at stopping her suicides in different environments.

Why wouldn't she look for an off switch: Not a bad idea, but I don't think you'd like the implications of her finding one.

Why is suicide her go to plan: Weren't you one of the people who read the backlog? Miyu attempted suicide or detonated herself like twice a battle on average.

Why would Beast die before Miyu? Wouldn't he die at the same time or slightly after?

@The 42nd Gecko

@The 42nd Gecko
Okay you're the boss.

P.S. The only command Miyu issued was "Hey, stop it. Bad hellbeast" Followed by "Ok, go ahead, knock yourself out." Then she flew away. In absence of literally knocking itself out, Beast listened. Other then that, there have been no commands for Beast to hear that I'm aware of.

Also I'm not too weary of implications from Miyu turning Beast off anymore. At this point, if her only interaction with him is solely to try and kill herself just escape the interaction, the symbiosis will inevitably fail one way or another quite quickly. It's not that hard. In a nutshell, Beast = Senketsu from kill la kill. Take him off and he becomes nullified. Just a regular school uniform. Beast is similar only with vocal commands...and yes, if for whatever reason he doesn't die first, Beast will die shortly after Miyu and that's the end of that character.

Seems too hard to involve him in roleplays anyway.
