As Omorfiá slid into place, she could feel a subtle warmth rising from the cushion that perfectly conformed to her body. Settling into place behind the dashboard, she could see several meters and information readouts monitoring things like speed, wind resistance, and fuel level. An interface featuring a small holographic topographical layout of the area around them for a few hundred meters with the option to zoom out projected from the center of the dashboard as Omorfiá grabbed onto the metal handles in front of her. The reins popped out from their holsters on each side of the dashboard, tethered in place by metal cords. Once she was settled in, curved metal plates padded on the inside with a soft material similar to velvet shot out from beneath her feet and slid up the length of her legs, fastening her in place from the knees down. Gentle vibrations rocked through her body as the growling engines wound up within the mechanical steed below her. With a destination selected, Prince took off, peeling out of the crowds and darting down the neon lit street, narrowly avoiding pedestrians and obstructions before diving left into the dark recesses of an alley.

In no time they were half way across the district, coming to a slow stop in front of the rather run down bar. Steam sprayed from the sides of the robotic mount, its motors revving down, as Omorfiá drew on the reins. Text marking that they had reached their destination flashed across the bottom of the dashboard for a few moments, followed by a data readout from scans of the bar and the amount of life signs within, before the restraints around her legs slowly dropped back into Prince's metallic hide and it knelt down to let her dismount. She could hear the quiet buzzing of servos as the surroundings were taken in be her sentinel. It wasn't the safest looking part of town, nor was it very well maintained. Articles of trash and paper crunched lightly beneath the monsters heavy gait as it stepped up with its master to the entryway of the seedy "Marshals" Bar.

Prince gave an oblivious gaze as Omorfiá waved and entered the building. After a few moments, it turned and looked behind it toward the dark alley they had came through to get here. It was quiet for a few moments before the sound of whirring servos and hissing pistons began to fill the alley as a surge of motion overtook the mechanical steed's body. Its tail retracted into its spine and its shoulders spread apart, allowing plates to shift up and down the length of its torso. Steam clouded around the creatures transforming body, leaking from exposed inner workings of gears and circuits as they rapidly cooled and reformed. Shoulders locked back into place and metallic muscles weaved themselves over joints and down the lengths of its ample body. Within moments, the mechanical monstrosity had returned to its primary form.

Incoherent blubbering subtly emanated out from near by as the drunkards watched the monster reshape before their eyes. Suddenly, it turned, glaring straight through them with a menacing eyeless grimace. A low mechanical snarl reverberated from the beast, subtly shaking the alley as it postured toward them. They took the hint, scrambling for their lives, knocking down trash cans as they desperately put distance between them and the horrifying machine. With the rabble outside cleared away, Prince turned, giving off a quiet whine as it gazed pointedly toward the entrance of the dingy bar. It was hesitant for a moment, before the attention returned to its demeanor. After scanning around the alley one last time, the mechanical creature let out a echoing robotic hiss before reaching up and scaling the front of the bar. A silent phasing sound emanated from the beast as its body began to disappear, quickly blending in with the dreary colors of the surroundings. In seconds, the hulking metal beast had vanished into thin air, observing the door and its master silently from the shadows.

Posting! Sorry I'm late! You know how it is. Real life...what a pain.

The War of the Three

@Mega BirbI'm not rushing at all when I ask this but did you have anything to post as Marquise or should Zak and Harley continue their banter w/o him? Again no rush. I'm just going to be pretty busy the next few days so my opportunities to post until mid-weekend will be limited.

Hellion Exiles

I'll reply in a couple hours. I gotta go with my buds to get some things.

Without hesitation, the massive metal monstrosity reared up onto its hind legs as geysers of steam shot from its sides, filling the air with a thin veil of mist. Warmth emanated from the creatures cold form, warming its frigid plated armor as engines and servos whirred and buzzed from within its body. The smaller set of arms on the lower half of the beast's large chest folded inward and the rest of its massive robotic body began to change. Slamming its heavy front talons on the steel floor, the beast let out a mechanical growl and its large arms reconfigured, followed closely by its hind legs, which bent backwards and increased in mass around the joints and pistons. What was the edged spine running down Prince's back split away from between its angular shoulder plates, segmenting out to become a long whipping tail tipped in a menacing blade.

Streaks of blinking neon rapidly illuminated the colossal metal sentinel. Energy gathered within its cores. It let out another series of chirps and clicks. Then, in a flurry of motion, the metal plates and mechanical muscles began to shift and reform around its new lowered posture and anatomy. Its head lowered, taking on a broader shape, and sprouting sets of three eyes on each side glowing bright red orange. Horns shot forward from its cranium, and a saddle like patch of padding and controls appeared across its back. A set of metal handle like reins emerged from two slots on each side of a dashboard that formed on the rear of the creatures haunch. After a few moments, the shifting of the beast's solid metallic armor plating slowly stopped, setting into place in specific places throughout its monstrous form.

Kneeling down onto its front arms, which were now forelegs, Prince brought its saddle mounted back down to level with Omorfiá. She could hear the low, rumbling engines and motors that growled within the creature as it keeled down beside her, gently vibrating the air around it with deep reverberations. The holographic display that sprawled across the dashboard on the monsters back dimly lit the air, lighting up the small particles that wafted past on the breeze from Luna-2's venting system. The creature waited for its master patiently, still passing the occasional fierce glare and onlookers.

Marquis is a head. What do you expect him to say in this scene? Furthermore, Birb isn't posting until Thursdayish.

As quickly as the charging monstrosity closed the distance toward Tartys, it stood down, lowering its head while keeping an eyeless gaze fixed on the new angel. A low mechanical hiss escaped Beast's jagged maw, vibrating the air around its hulking form as it backed away, taking up a defensive posture over Miyu with its body behind her and one long rigid arm in front of her, tactfully separating its host from this new entity. The data scrolling across the bottom of Miyu's vision scanned Tartys, reading the levels of energy emanating from her body as well as small details such as heart rate and muscle contractions. The creature was still on edge after Miyu's earlier attempt at 'resetting' herself. An action it translated as the cause of an unidentified threat, which could have been Tartys. Other than the occasional chime of robotic clicks or rumbling snarls, Beast remained still, awaiting its masters next command.
