Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral really did miss eating, especially when he enjoyed it a lot in the past. Everyone knew he was very into eating, seeing how he was basically made from predators who were well known for consuming a lot. Eating was just too difficult and to have so many flashbacks and overly worried responses from simply having the taste in his mouth gave him way too much grief. “It might work, it might…but I don’t know as well”, he sighed, staring at the near empty glass, “The only reason I feel good about it is because I have that medicine. I hate how much food affects me…” It certainly made him pretty furious when everyone went to go eat and they’d be showing off how pleased they were after consumption. Listening to Vegeta’s reasoning behind removing the gravity he sighed, finishing off his water. “…I suppose I should try again. It was painful trying to run, but pain is nothing once it’s all over…”

Kiton attempting to explain his own experiences to Sasha certainly didn’t go well, even if he was trying his best to explain what he was talking about. “By being involved in it! Like-…like being in it! Not just seeing it or losing a house temporarily…” He was trying hard to explain himself but Sasha was very quickly getting in his face, pulling back a little as she decided to practically rage in his face. She didn’t care what he had to say, she was just concerned with showing him up with her own experiences, as if trying to show she was better than him because she had gone through all of that and turned out to be good like the little girl. She didn’t know him, she didn’t know anything about his life and was simply assuming his criminal life was all he had to show for himself. Staring at her when she decided to walk off he frowned at her words, wondering if she even understood him beyond being a criminal down on his luck.

Kiton didn’t know if anyone would want to understand him, feeling like he was going to be just constantly trying to get people prove to him how terrible he was for not being happy with his life. Gasping when Leto touched his back he looked over his shoulder quickly before away again, sighing heavily before waving a hand. “She doesn’t know how I feel. It’s just a competition for her. It doesn’t matter anyway”. Nobody was really concerned with his own past or nothing so he wasn’t going to get into it. Staring down at the toy he only looked up when Leto thought it was best to continue their little trek. “Wonders? Probably just…more disappointment…” Following after Leto was something he didn’t know would be good, seeing how he was already making trouble. If he made any more while out here, he’d probably be put away for sure.

Krom found Takeshi rather amusing the entire time he continued to try and block off Takeshi, watching his every move. He was certainly trying his best to show off and that was rather amusing in itself, smirking as he continued to hold off Takeshi without no problem. The kid had the problem of trying too hard to impress and not actually putting enough effort into his attacks, snickering when he decided to shout at him some more as he tried to punch his face. Blocking him he snickered, finding it amusing that Takeshi didn’t think he could block such an attack when he was up against an Elite. “Heh yeah, you’re right! At least you can actually hit me and not act like a wimp about it!” he snickered, throwing an arm around to throw Takeshi away, “You’re lucky I’m not supposed to hit you too hard! You’d probably get pretty beat up if you ask me!”

Shu was rather worried he was going to mess this training up with Aito, but he was still trying and that should’ve been all that mattered. He was worried he wasn’t going to get through any of this stuff without humiliating himself or making no progress. He was going to get left behind, he knew it. Trying to start off fighting against Aito he squeaked as he was pushed to the side, stumbling before turning to face Aito. Of course he couldn’t do it, it was silly to try. Turning around he frowned, wondering if he was even good enough. Keeping his head low for a second he sighed, dropping his shoulders a moment before he nodded. “I-I guess I could try…” Thinking it was best to try the first suggestion he made a dash in, running at Aito before jumping to the side and leaping at him, trying to catch him this time.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral knew he had slept a lot because of Aito but he didn’t want to believe he had been weakened by the experience. He had been having to lay down because of his injections taking a lot out of him and he most certainly didn’t want to have to take another one anytime soon. Those things were rather painful after they had been injected into him, what with it messing with his insides in an attempt to stop his insides from aggressively changing. Watching Vegeta moving off to the panel he sighed, staring at him as he spoke before looking away. “Look, I just don’t think something that’s not a regular snack for me should be in my diet right now…” Those bars were always reserved for people who were confident about their eating habits and knew they needed one to prevent hunger, not really for someone in his position. He didn’t feel comfortable with eating one, knowing he might end up getting addicted if he found them to be the only thing he could eat. He thought the fear was stupid, to be prevented from taking food and simply eating it over some memories certainly sounded stupid. Unable to understand why Vegeta decided to power the room down he groaned, staring at him before looking back to his water. The giant weight had been lifted, but he didn’t feel happy about that. Slowly drinking his water again he sighed, lowering his head. “…Now I’m showing off my limit again. What is the reasoning behind me not being put through the gravity training any longer…?”

Kiton didn’t like being shown up like that and he definitely didn’t like smug stances. She had no reason to be smug, it wasn’t like she could understand what he meant or where he was coming from. She was more concerned with showing him that she was right just because they had encountered one girl who was quite willing to show him pity in the form of kindness. Glancing to Leto who first tried to speak his attention was taken back to Sasha, frowning as she spoke. What she spoke of wasn’t the same as what he meant, managing to anger him a little when she completely misunderstood what he meant. Hearing her continue to rattle on about this he glared at her, almost losing his cool before he let out a huff. “She’s not been tainted. Just because this place has seen an attack doesn’t mean she’s been tainted! She’ll recover, she’s got her family and these friends of hers; she’s not forced to use a blaster or to fight for her survival! Do you have any idea what that is like? To lose everyone and everything to war?” Feeling a little fed up he sighed, shaking his head. “Just because these alien citizens would doesn’t mean the others have the same thought process to give their possessions away to those who need it. Even then, being surrounded by these aliens who would do such things is just…distressing. There’s a constant pressure and being seen by these people as needy and a pity-case doesn’t make me feel comfortable…”

Krom thought very little of Takeshi and was fair certain they weren’t going to reach any amazing breakthroughs today, not while he was so cocky. The guy was in desperate need of a knocking down from his pedestal, otherwise there would be no way they could win a fight against the creatures if he was the type to rush in first and try to do it all himself. “The point of this isn’t to knock any look off my face. You’re supposed to see me as a suitable threat against your little brother, remember?” The kid was probably too far into his little ego rush to care about those plans and just wanted to train, but oh well. If he was going to be like that then he would have to just go along with it and have him train too. Watching Takeshi he managed to block one of his attacks but was soon grabbed, smirking as he instead tried to push him forward with a fair force. Even if he was using Ki he still wasn’t going to be able to do it and instead pulled Takeshi forward, swinging his arm around with just as much force. “Try to remember you’re up against a Saiyan Elite, not your brother!”

Shu didn’t know what to think of Aito just now, he didn’t even know if he was going to be gentle with him or try to treat him in the same way Krom treated him before this. He didn’t want to be treated like a lesser fighter, but then again with the way he was dancing around pointlessly it would be no wonder if he was treated differently. Staring at Aito after getting to his feet he frowned at the suggestion of advice, not really liking the sound of that. “Tell me what I did bad…?” Watching as Aito moved into a fighting stance he stood staring at him, frowning at what he was being told. “I…guess so. You Krom now…okay?” Trying to implant that thought in his head he crouched down, staring at Aito before making a sudden leap at him, trying to go in to fight Aito with as much speed and force as he was giving to Krom.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral figured he would be fine after a little while, his body tired but should recover hopefully. He did mention he wasn’t in great shape and it would be pretty stressful on his body to go under gravity training, wondering if he probably would’ve been better training under normal conditions. Finding it oddly difficult to drink water under this gravity he slowly rubbed his chest, staring blankly at the glass as Vegeta talked before his eyes wandered over to him at the mention of doing something different. “Recently? I’ve not been sitting around doing nothing…” He didn’t know how he was going to get through this day if he could barely get through something as simple as running back and forth. It was agonising knowing he was able to do that and more when he was fine, but all because he found it difficult to eat his body had been wasting away and his genes shutting down. Staring at Vegeta as he spoke about shakes he couldn’t help but feel confused and somewhat disgusted, looking back to his water momentarily at the mention of bars instead. “The thought of shakes makes me feel sick and nutrition bars aren’t going to help me long term. I need to get back into eating what I am supposed to eat and have this stupid….fear over food…”

Kiton was trying to figure out this girl, but it was certainly not doing him any good by trying such a thing. He felt like he was trying to figure out a fairly blank slate for ulterior motives. Looking at the stuffed animal he could only wonder why she would give a complete stranger something like this without knowing a thing about him. Looking to her as she spoke he frowned, staring at her before he looked back to the toy. “Fake friends?” Finding that whole statement to be confusing he sighed lightly, staring at the toy before looking up and seeing the girl run off again. Sure it was innocent enough but it didn’t make him feel better about his opinion or ease it.

As Sasha started to get all sarcastic and smug he simply looked up at her, staring as she continued to be proud that she was holding a strong opinion. She must be feeling so good about herself over that kid doing that to him, but he couldn’t say he felt good about it at all. Sure the kid was trying to show him kindness, but it just made him feel rotten inside too. He didn’t have anything like that and it was easy to tell that she had that a lot growing up. Staring at Sasha as she held a pose he gave her a fair glare, glancing to Leto. “All kids act innocent until they’re tainted by war. That’s no secret! What do you even hope to gain by bringing me around these people for them to shove their friends, family and possessions in my face?”

Krom hardly cared for who he was supposed to fight or whether he was doing the right thing by moving onto Takeshi instead of the youngest. All this meant was they weren’t going to risk the kid transforming and them going home with claw marks all over themselves. There was a lot to work on and the more one of them showed some enthusiasm over what was happening the better. Watching Takeshi closely he smirked, finding it rather funny how much he thought he was in control of his head. “Really? That’s rather amusing considering you are the one who loses your temper the most”. Watching as Takeshi went in after him he raised his arms, watching where his energy was going before throwing up a block to keep Takeshi at bay. It was always the same with Takeshi, trying to use that trick to outsmart his opponent. “Heh, at least you could hit me, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…”

Shu didn’t think this was a good idea for him anyway, he was sure he was just wasting people’s time by being here. He had dropped a lot from when he first found Takeshi, going from equals to too weak for training. Feeling pretty sorry for himself and completely confidence stripped he frowned when Aito mentioned his name, looking to him quickly before away again. “Practice with you…? Ooh, are you strong too…?” Shu didn’t know if he wanted to try with Aito, he didn’t know how he would treat him or if he was just feeling sorry for him being so bad at fighting. While he was not at all sure about Aito’s motives he looked to his hand when it came into view, staring at it before taking it calmly, slowly standing up with his help. Staring up at him as he spoke he frowned at first before sighing quietly, quickly nodding. “O-Okay. I don’t know how to fight any other way, though. It’s just not a good way, I guess…”

Cecil didn’t know if he was cut out for this ‘horse’ business if he was already struggling to understand what the beast actually was. He probably saw some on his travels, but he also saw many beasts that matched that description along the road. It was one of those curiosities for him and it was definitely worrying him that he would have to go on one. He might end up hurting it or falling off and then he’d be in trouble. Trying not to think about it he decided to leave the decisions to the others, seeing how the creature is a living thing and his parts could be replaced for a lot cheaper than probably replacing the horse. Looking back to Norman quickly he gave a nod before wandering off after the others, hoping everything was going to be okay from now on.

While everyone else was pretty enthusiastic about getting these horses, Cecil was just not feeling it. He knew he would probably end up causing more trouble than they needed and screw up somehow, seeing how everyone else knew about horses and were pretty confident with riding them. Even Amuné knew a fair deal about them so now it was a case of him knowing very little about absolutely everything they were going to do that was important to their journey. Feeling rather nervous over the whole ordeal he looked to Ethan who appeared to be very enthusiastic, giving him a break from worrying and granting him a new offer. “Ride in the cart? Ohh uhh, sure. That’s probably better, I mean, uhh…if I have never been on a horse, I might end up injuring it”.

He didn’t want to be the one that would cause more problems than they needed. Luckily he was small, he wouldn’t take up much space on the cart if he was really destined to ride in it rather than on a horse; besides, he was fast as well and could run a fair speed so if he ever needed to bail he could just jump and run. Smiling lightly to himself his eyes were soon taken to Nymira, staring at her as she decided to make plans for them as well. So much of what they were doing was costing them money, definitely making him wonder if it was all worth the effort to take this job when they had no problems the day earlier, apart from problems caused by him. He had gone so long without needing a currency so all these changes were definitely throwing him off a little. All he wanted to do was get to the city, but this woman was definitely making things complicated.

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral was really trying but it was terribly hard, his body just not feeling good enough to continue but he had the determination to continue on. It was barely anything compared to what he had been able to do, he could keep up with people flying for pete’s sake and yet looking at him now nobody would recognise him. He was not willing to give up, but even though he was willing to continue on it was Vegeta who stopped him, placing his arm in his way so he’d end up coming to a stop. Staring at him with a pained expression he let out a groan and slowly sat down, trying to be slow about it but ended up falling back in a rather pained fashion. Letting out a groan he stared at his legs, feeling disappointed in himself. Staring at himself for a moment he soon looked up at Vegeta, staring at the glass before taking hold of it, his hand slightly staking before he stared at the water. “I’ll never get up after this ‘break’…” he muttered, looking up to Vegeta, “They felt like they were going to break. I was already trying to power through those warm-ups. I can’t give up on this…”

Kiton wasn’t used to any of this and was finding it rather difficult to be polite about not wanting someone strange touching him, even if it was a little kid. He wasn’t that old himself, he was still young so having a slightly younger kid hold his hand like that had him feeling completely uncomfortable. Watch the kid run back to her family he gave Sasha an annoyed look before his eyes were taken back to the girl who quickly returned. Taking a slight step back he stared at what she had retrieved, feeling confused over it he frowned. “It’s a toy…” He didn’t really understand what she was trying to say or suggest but she seemed quick with trying to shove the toy in his hand. Gasping slightly he held it up, staring at it before looking down at her in confusion. He didn’t really understand this kind of gesture, whether he was supposed to give something back. “Uhh, I don’t have anything for this. How is a toy supposed to be a friend? It doesn’t talk or anything…”

Shu wished he was able to conquer his fears and actually try to make an effort to train with Krom, but with him barely able to touch him and easily tossed aside all he was doing was embarrassing himself. He wanted to train and get strong like everyone, he was trying but nothing was working. He must be letting everyone down with his weakness. Becoming overcome with embarrassment he attempted to hide his face, gasping when Takeshi suddenly pulled him into a hug. Looking up to him he frowned at his suggestion, sighing lightly as he looked down again. “I’m sorry, I tried…” Staring at Takeshi as he stood in front of him he slowly moved back before spinning around and running out of the way, finishing in a crouch. He should’ve been able to do something about that, there was no reason he wouldn’t had been unable to do anything to Krom.

Krom was a little disappointed to say the least, seeing the kid just plain give up like that. Even if he didn’t want to give up he was basically doing so by cowering away like that. Smirking, he watched as Takeshi tried to comfort his brother, basically putting him down unknowingly in the process. Being told subtly that you should give up for now and learn from them instead was a pretty big insult even if he meant well. Watching as Takeshi took a stance he chuckled, going into a fighting stance too. “Tch! I’m not old, not even ten years older than you, kid!” he smirked, shifting his feet, “Now, unlike your brother, you don’t need anything to prompt any hidden emotions I trust? At least you don’t turn into an angry furry beast so this’ll be easier!”

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Cecil didn’t know how Norman would do such a thing but if he could then he shouldn’t really question it, seeing how the guy wasn’t entirely willing to tell him his secrets anyway. If he could travel to the city in a matter of a few hours then that would be great for him, meaning he’d get to his personal destination without too many problems. Lowering his head slightly he stared down at himself, contemplating on the situation he was going to put himself in with having to be this man’s recorder. It would probably mean he would have to fight to allow him to get a reading of anything that might help, considering he was a combat Machina. It would probably do him good to try some fighting, but that would mean having everyone else be put in danger too. He didn’t know much about the woman but the other two could get really hurt if he tried to pick a fight that was too difficult for him to handle.

Looking back up to Norman at the mention of his oil he looked back towards Ethan again, hearing how enthusiastic he was about all of this. Well this was all definitely going to be tough on him and without knowing what he was supposed to do regarding this ‘horse’ he was a little nervous about his journey now. Sighing lightly he forced a smile, looking back to Norman again. “Thank you for helping me. I’m not sure what would’ve happened if I went any longer without oil or that battery. I hope what I collect will be handy”. If he managed to collect anything at all. The others would probably want to avoid battle and if that woman got her way she’d probably be all over it before he could fight. He did wonder if she thought of him at all as anything, seeing how she had yet to talk to him.

Just letting the others talk about their plans he rubbed his hands together, looking to Amuné as she decided to tell him what horses were. That description sounded like something he had seen before, probably on the road as he travelled alone. “Oh, uhh…huh? Hooves? Horseshoes? Oh, they sound strange to me”, he spoke, contemplating over the image, “Are they really large? Big animals…like round?” There was a few animals he had come across that seemed to fit the description she was trying to make. He definitely was trying to think through it just so he could get an idea to what the animal looked like and how he would handle it. He probably would be best riding in the cart if they were as complicated as they sounded, certainly managing to make him wonder over whether it was a good idea to have him near animals. “Maybe, uhh…I-I shouldn’t be going near creatures either. I am not like you and maybe they will know. They might alert others that I am not! That would be very bad…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral was really trying to get his body working again but everything was just starting to get painful all over again. He wasn’t able to concentrate on ignoring the problems he was facing and was just finding himself unable to focus on completing the task at hand. It was probably incredibly simple and completely trivial over what he was complaining about, maybe even disappointing Vegeta when he literally just started. Looking to Vegeta when he suggested some alternatives to running he looked away and shook his head. “No…I can do this…” he muttered, going at the same pace he had been rather desperate to keep at. It wasn’t a pride thing he was trying to do this for, it was so he could feel he was improving and able to do a simple task. He had done the push-ups and everything, he couldn’t be getting tired already. Reaching the wall again, he reached out but found himself banging into it this time, having to take a moment before continuing again.

“Maybe…there’s reason for it? I don’t know, never asked them?” Kiton didn’t really understand what was stopping them from holding peace conferences over this to try and come to agreements over what was to be done and why the other group should stop doing this other thing. It was one of these questions in life that really had him wondering why they decided to fight like either one was the criminal here. He had seen this type of behaviour with gangs before and just like gangs these two groups were fighting over territory and people were getting in the way of it, resulting in death of innocents. Disliking the thought he gasped when she decided it was best to drag him away off towards a bunch of natives, panicking. “H-Hey! This isn’t fair!”

Kiton didn’t like being forced into things and forced into social stuff was probably the worst thing he could go through. He didn’t know how to be social and never had been before, her actions immediately raising his anxiety by quite a lot. Wanting to pull away from her he gasped when some kid decided to come over, staring at them cautiously. He knew they were just a child, but that still didn’t make him feel any more comfortable. Staring at them as they spoke he looked quickly over to the other Uuonians before feeling a jolt as his hand was grabbed, quickly looking down at it before trying to pull it away. “Uhhh don’t touch me…” he muttered, shaking his head, “I’m not anybody’s friend…”

Krom knew the risks but if he was going to see if this kid could actually fight he needed to be able to figure out what was a trigger to bring out some of that hidden power. There had to be some way that wasn’t going to have him changing, but he had to find it if he was going to get anything done today. To have Aito bark at him like some old man was making him slightly annoyed, seeing how it wasn’t as if he was trying to make him change. Having Shu jump around like he was going to get killed was a bit distracting so he had to get him out of that, throwing him off to the side to get him to start again he looked to Aito who decided to tell off Shu instead. The kid was acting pretty weak despite the power he probably had. Readying himself again he smirked, raising his hands. “Yeah, kid! You’re weak, I think you’re weak; everyone thinks you’re weak! Are you going to change that or sit around like a little baby all day??”

Shu was disorientated but not willing to give up, picking himself up and crawling around to face Krom again. While he didn’t want to quit he was panicking, finding it hard to understand how he was supposed to do this. Looking to Aito who told him off he looked to the ground momentarily before up to Krom who also started to taunt him. He didn’t know how to react to that, he was supposed to be strong but he didn’t feel like it, especially with Krom being so strong in return. Standing up again he stared at Krom, unable to figure out what he was supposed to do before he made a leap at Krom only to be slapped to the ground. Pushing himself up again he jumped once more, instead finding Krom stepping back and allowing his leap to completely miss. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do, it wasn’t as easy as sparring when he knew this guy was the bad guy. Slowly standing up again he turned around, staring at Krom again before yelling out, dashing straight for him and managing to collide with him and threw a series of punches. They were all caught by Krom and what was worse was it barely seemed like he was trying, his eyes looking up at him before he was immediately slapped aside. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do or feel, but what he really felt just now was very weak with no chance of showing any sort of hidden power or control. Not really feeling hurt by all the throwing around he slowly stood up again, looking between Krom and Aito before to Takeshi, going rather red in the face before letting out a groan, using his hair to hide his face. He was feeling incredibly embarrassed, he was supposed to be stronger than this and when Takeshi was able to fight against Krom for so long on the other planet it was really showing just how weak he actually was.

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Despite being told otherwise Cecil was still pretty worried and wondering if he was going to be able to keep his body intact as they travelled. The fact that two attacks had happened in such a short space of time since meeting Ethan and Amuné had him worried over his future. He was probably more fragile than the other two, even if they did leak a lot they never really lost their components and had to get fixed. Feeling better over it all he did smile at Norman, feeling he could continue his journey safely and not having his body fail him. “I don’t know what a wild bull is but I will try to avoid it. I just want to see everything and continue my journey”. He didn’t know if he was allowed to call the others his friends quite yet, he wanted to see what they thought considering he was holding them up all the time and possibly hiding the fact he was annoying them with that.

Listening to Norman tell him about Machina had him confused, wondering why they would keep them indoors and not go out and about with them too. Maybe they really were just that different from him and without an adventuring mind like his. He really enjoyed going out and around and if those Machina didn’t enjoy that then they couldn’t possibly know about the wonders of the world too. Staring down at his feet for a moment he gasped when he was prompted to go, looking to Norman quickly before slowly sliding off the work desk. He certainly did feel a lot better and his joints were much easier to move, making him feel pretty happy that he was able to get a servicing like that. “Really? You’ll get ahead of us? It’s such a long distance for contacting…”

Contemplating over the thought and how contact could be made he gasped when Ethan suddenly shouted out to him, spinning around quickly. That was a rather curious question and something like that was a measurement he had failed to take note of, looking down at himself before finding himself completely confused. “Horses? I don’t-…what are those?” he questioned before gasping, turning around to Norman again, “I-I still want my oil, by the way! I will weigh more, but I still want it! Even if I did know my weight, which I don’t…”

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Viral was sure he was ready to do more of this exercises, but he wasn’t going to put Vegeta in danger and have him pounced at, even if Vegeta would probably brag that he could hold him off no problem. He did hate it when people did that, when he showed just that little bit of worry for someone and they would just dismiss it because they were stronger. He hated being weak and was disgusted with himself for being as such, even if he was told multiple times that it wasn’t his fault. It was good that Vegeta wasn’t doing that this time though, he probably wouldn’t be able to deal with it if he started doing that in this room. Slowly moving beside Vegeta he watched him as he slowly placed his foot against the matted surface as well, watching him carefully before looking off to the other wall. “I know and I realise I can’t too, seeing how I will probably collapse”. Keeping steady for a moment he took in a deep breath, trying to find his centre of balance before he started running. Not quite sprinting or trying to push himself he found it was like running with a greater weight on his shoulders, his legs being forced down. Finding this a little distressing he simply tried to continue on, his eyes moving to his legs before he touched the wall, looking briefly to Vegeta before continuing. “I feel like I’m going to collapse already…”

Kiton wasn’t convinced, he saw getting into the military as something that would probably end up having him not like it and want to leave only to be blocked and scrutinised. It would probably be a criminal offence to leave anyway so all he’d be doing is forcing himself into servitude in exchange for not being arrested. Sasha was quick to try and deny that, but it still felt a little suspicious and he certainly did like his freedom to act, even if apparently killing was a bad thing for freedom. “But you’re forced to fight for something like this…I don’t know what the Saiyans are doing. Are they even doing terrible things? You know, other than random genocide?” Maybe that wasn’t the best way to put it but he didn’t know what the big deal was, seeing as how aliens often readily killed each other because they were different, but the Saiyans were more organised from the sound of it. These rebels probably would do it too if they didn’t know the ones they were fighting. “They could just be nice to you because of the point I made. They could be scared that something’s going to happen to them if they suddenly decide to not let your group roam around normally, then what do you do? Tell them it’s bad and that they shouldn’t or show them why they shouldn’t?”

Krom was pretty angry about Takeshi going in like that and interrupting his training of the youngest. He was the one who asked him to go first with the kid and yet here he was jumping in like he was an actual threat. Managing to give him a good smack away he told him off but was soon receiving a punching from Shu in the back of the leg, nearly making him fall over. Turning around with a glare he looked to Aito who only told him off for his actions. “Better being frightened than angry because of him!” Making a grab for Shu he found the kid had jumped to the side instead, finding he wasn’t allowing himself to get caught this time. Watching him he tried to make a grab again, finding the kid was trying to dodge everything as he threw his fists down with the intent to hit the kid away. “Oh what? Did I manage to trigger something with the kid now? Maybe you should try hitting harder!”

Shu was pretty sure he was going to have a pretty bad time with this but he was still trying, unfortunately he wasn’t really getting anywhere. Krom seemed fairly unfazed by his attacks on his leg and was definitely not showing any signs of hurting, making him wonder how strong he was or how weak he might actually be himself. Gasping when Krom tried to grab him again he immediately started bouncing around, panicking whenever Krom’s hand came down at him. He was afraid of what might happen if he got caught by Krom, but he was still trying to fight against him rather than go ahead not managing to hit him at all. Squeaking, he jumped around nearly falling over himself before immediately jumping forward with Krom’s prompt, punching at him in the stomach to no effect. Krom was definitely stronger than he thought and that scared him, pulling back immediately before Krom managed to grab hold of his shirt and lift him up, his legs kicking out before he was thrown away again.

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Cecil was feeling a little better knowing what he was supposed to be, but unfortunately Norman seemed to be a little concerned with a few things still. He noticed how he didn’t appear to be very enthusiastic with letting him know that, thinking it would be a great moment with him finally understanding what he was. He thought it was a big deal, but Norman seemed to be acting as if it was just another day on the job for him. Slowly tilting his head to the side he ended with a frown and a sigh, staring down at himself. “There is? I don’t want to end up breaking something”, he spoke, staring at his feet before looking to his gauntlets, “I will make sure I don’t break, I promise. I don’t want to have to get repairs all the time”.

Cecil was a little nervous and certainly was wondering if it was an okay thing to be a combat model. He didn’t know what it meant for other people, but if it managed to scare people before then maybe it was a bad thing. There was so much he could question about himself, but he didn’t feel he had the right answers to the first things to ask the questions correctly. While he knew now he was a combat model, what he didn’t know was what he was able to do when what he managed to do so far just happened without him knowing initially. He was curious about his combat purposes and why he was ‘life-like’, figuring him needing to understand why he was small and like this before finding out what his combat purposes were.

Hearing Norman not understand why he was life-like either he felt lost again, sighing lightly before giving a little smile as he watched him clean up his legs. “Honestly, I don’t know what I look like apart from what I can see. I guess I really do look very different to other Machina”, he spoke, sighing lightly, “I’ve not seen another Machina, though. People keep talking about them, but I’ve not known what I’m supposed to look for when trying to find some. Maybe it doesn’t matter that much, but it’s still a curiosity to me”. Describing his experiences of the factory didn’t seem to help matters none as Norman didn’t give much of a response to it, wondering if there was any more than simply the conclusion that he came from a factory. Watching as he finished up the oiling he looked back to Norman when he asked him a request, staring at him curiously before nodding. “Uhh sure. I can do that, but uhh…when will I see you again? I’m going to the city”.
