[b]The Dojo's Entrance, 1:33 PM[/b]
"Woah...Ari, you...didn't tell me that the place was...well, this stylish! I mean, the walls and the design of the place are both ancient, yet-"
"Isaac."
"-fantastic in design, as if-"
"Isaac.."
"-the creators were truly-"
"[b]Isaac.[/b]"
[i]A sudden snap from Arianna silenced Isaac entirely, as he immediately shut his mouth and crossed his hands together nervously.[/i]
[i]It had only been an hour since the clones of the infamous Vileblood had met - so naturally, they weren't exactly too close, although Arianna still cared for her little brother. She sighed, looking upon him with her light blue pupils, as she brushed a piece of silver-blonde hair out of her eyes. Arianna was a tall young woman, at a height of six feet and three inches in total, while her body frame remained lean yet extremely athletic at the same time. She didn't necessarily have any muscle mass, but that couldn't be seen through the dark grey apparel that she bore, which resembled an armored dress in some fashion: a visor hid away her right eye, although it's glass was deactivated at the moment, for she saw no use for it. Her nodachi remained upon her back, while a loaded Beretta pistol was holstered to her waist alongside a 22" inch long shortsword and what appeared to be a 13" inch long blade, crafted from siderite and jagged in such a disorderly, yet proficient manner. [/i]
[i]Isaac, well...he wasn't too special, at least compared to his "sister" - at five feet and eleven inches tall, the teenager stood about four inches shorter than Arianna, while his body was just as lean and skinny, almost to a degree of frailty. A buttoned black shirt encased his body, while his right sleeve was rolled up to his forearm - his entire left arm was hidden away by a pitch black armpiece, carbon fiber strands making up most of the armor while ceramic plates covered his forearm, elbow and shoulder. His black pants were slightly rolled up to his ankles in a somewhat childish fashion, while a massive bag was slung over his shoulder: it looked like it took a lot of effort to carry it, so it had to have been filled with supplies, gear, perhaps even weaponry.[/i]
[i]Isaac himself wasn't handsome, although to those in his age group, he could certainly be considered cute in some sense (goddamnit, I called a dude cute) - his facial structure was angular yet smooth to the touch, a pearly white color accompanied by two light blue eyes - the same as Arianna's. His light silver-blonde hair was short and tidy, while his eyes flickered back to the Dojo as Arianna walked up to the entrance.[/i]
[i]Arianna:[/i]
"Alright...we'll have to get into this place soon. C'mon, kiddo."
[i]And just like that, Arianna knocked four times - awaiting someone to open the door for her.[/i]
((Open.))

[i]The rock soared through the air before it met...something. A cyan blue aura surrounded Arianna's frame, as she merely smirked.[/i] "Yeah, thing's powerful as all hell. It can be busted with enough firepower, but against melee? Ha."
-
[i]akiko jumped a little when it popped up she was clearly not used to seeing something like that. Her tail puffed up a little bit cause it startled her.[/i] "So your supposed to be on fire right now"says akiko
-
"...I am?" [i]Arianna questioned, although she kept her smile still.[/i] "You didn't intend to burn me alive, did you?"
-
"What n-no i.. i.. w-would never"says [i]she looked unhappy about that suggestion[/i]
-
"I'm joking, I'm joking. You're much too innocent to do something like that." [i]Arianna chuckled to herself a little, shrugging after a moment.[/i] "Anything else you wanna know?"
-
"I try my best to avoid trouble but it always seems to find me. "Says akiko [i]akiko is still looking up at them still feeling very short.[/i] "How come a lot people around are so tall is there a reason for it? You guys seem pretty interesting though.. i bet you seen a hole bunch of neat stuff."says akiko
-
"Well, it's just...growth. The average height is 5'5" to 6 feet, and...oddly enough, many people succeed that." [i]Isaac noted, yawning as Arianna explained their ventures.[/i] "Yes, we've...seen quite a lot. Yharnam, different realities, worlds and the sort."
-
"I bet those places were cool to see my planet a good portion of it was desert which was where i am from. But it wasn't very interesting im afraid."says akiko [i]she was hoping that she wasn't bothering them with her questions. She knew her curiosity always got the better of her.[/i] "The people of my race only ever grow to 5'5" were naturally small. So its rare to see someone bigger than that from where i come from"says akiko
-
"Yeah, I suppose." [i]Isaac responded, before remembering something of...some importance.[/i] "By the way...You wouldn't happen to hear of any YoRHa units near the Dojo, would you? I can explain what they are, if you'd like."
-
"A what? Could you explain it please cause i dont know what that is"says akiko [i]akiko had a look of confusion on her face. She honestly didn't know what he was talking about.[/i]
-
"A YoRHa android. It's a type of robot, sent by an off-world faction to complete...some sort of goal. Apparently YoRHa is an entirely android faction lead by a Commander, who takes orders from a Council of Humanity - the last humans that escaped an onslaught of robots upon their version of Earth, whereas they retreated to the Moon. Apparently, two YoRHa androids have been sighted here.."
-
"That doesn't sound to good at all"says akiko [i]akiko has a concerned look on her face she listened to him talk.[/i] "Why would someone build something so dangerous?"says akiko
-
"Well, they're sent here to survey us. To see if they can learn combat to used against their machine enemies.." [i]Isaac sighed, looking around in an almost paranoid fashion.[/i] "They're both females, one of them shorter than the other. Both armed."
-
"Hmm i could always ask kimi and Keira if they seen something those are two very good at digging up info. Especially when comes to weird stuff."says akiko [i]she may have never seen one but she definitely could help locate or where they were last seen.[/i]
-
Edited by Orn: 4/17/2017 1:54:09 AM"Really now? They could probably fund some extended information about the YoRHa androids and such, then.. Say, mind telling me about Kimi and Keira? I'd need to meet them." [i]Isaac would've documented his interactions with most of the Dojo members, so this one would be...important to him, to some caliber.[/i]
-
"Well they are the same race i am. They both older than by four years. Im pretty sure they would help if you ask. I could take you to then if you want" says akiko
-
"You know you can just open the fuсking gate instead of standing there like a pair of rеtаrded mongoloids who don't know how to operate a cocksucking door!" [i]A loud, rude and gruff voice answered the knocks, the gates swinging open to reveal a white haired man with stark blue eyes that pierced through the air. He stood at a decent six foot two, his ashen hair tied back into a ponytail with the sides shaved along with a shaved chin. He had the aforementioned stark eyes that looked at the two. Samuel Weiss had answered. Sam wore a red overcoat with the sleeves and buttons removed, a carbon black jumpsuit which too lacked sleeves underneath, revealing his athletic build. In truth his muscles were compacted, not to mention chemically enhanced. A blue sash was tied around his waist, keeping a HF Blade on it. He gave off a chilling presence, as if there was far more to this man than it seemed to be.[/i] "Wait one damn minute..." [i]Sam squinted his eyes as he observed Arianna.[/i] "Didn't I kill you? How the bloody FUСK are you alive?"
-
[i]Arianna remained silent until Sam had called her out, where she merely backed off for a moment and stared upon him confusingly. Which, now mentioning it at the moment - she did look exactly like Irina, which Sam had "killed" months ago. Maybe a bit younger - well, she was much younger, and didn't have that same bloodlust and violence in her eyes - but practically the same.[/i] "Excuse me...?" [i]Arianna muttered, her hand nearly retreating to her waist and drawing her pistol. She decided against it, as she merely sighed and shook her head. She had heard of the...incident that had taken place.[/i] "Look, you're getting me confused for a clone. Did the "me" that you killed poof in a bunch of red...pieces?" [i]That was the best explanation that Arianna could give. Meanwhile, Isaac had remained silent, his unusually pale face looking even paler than beforehand.[/i]

Edited by Thot Slayer Emps: 4/7/2017 11:57:19 PM"Yeah. I assumed it was just some advanced magical construct because as soon as I tore a hole in her chest with a rail gun I heard someone else scream. Also a woman. But I didn't go investigate, because I'm not a fuсking p.i detective." [i]Samuel replied, his eyes shifting to Isaac.[/i] "Are you gonna sit there and piss your pants or what? [i]I swear if I have to be a tour guide again...[/i]" [i]He muttered under his breath as he produced a cigar and lighter. Then his did his usual 'erase the end of the cigar and light it' trick. It was a favorite really, mostly because it amused or intrigued people.[/i] "So Piss Pants and Not Dead Person, what brings you to this humble abode?" [i]Sam said, forgetting that his Scraping hand was still activated as he just held it out.[/i]
-
Edited by Orn: 4/8/2017 1:07:10 AM"Great, great - someone's already on their period," [i]Isaac chuckled at his own joke, although he expected Sam to immediately snap back - or well, react in some manner. Arianna merely shook her head and held her hands together, responding to Samuel's question. [/i] "My sarcastic brother who might be dead in a couple of minutes thought that it would be an excellent idea that I escorted him to the Dojo so he could train and master his skills as a fighter. That's a simple explanation." [i]Arianna stared at Sam's hand with an interest, although the more interested one was clearly Isaac - hell, he almost looked as if he admired whatever Sam was doing.[/i] "...Spacial manipulation...right?" [i]He muttered, studying Sam's hand and the cigar.[/i]
-
"I suggest watching your tone -- Aw shit I left it on!" [i]He said, shaking his hand until it went away, scraping some air and making a piece of litter fly past the two. Then he let out a puff on smoke.[/i] "Yes, I control Space. No I'm not giving out lessons, so if that's why you came here to train as a fighter then skedaddle. But uh...tell me, how do you know about that? I recall most tomes or whatever being burned. And I think Mordecai is dead."
-
"Did my research, found some not-so-destroyed records before I began to actually study the stuff...oh, and a "Samuel Weiss" figure, seen on Tatakai, Civis Praemium, etc - appears to be a big-time user of... ...Wait a sec, you're...Sam. Oh.." [i]Isaac sounded genuinely surprised, before continuing his explanation. While it was wacky about how damn deep this kid had gone into researching, it was certainly intriguing - least, for Arianna.[/i] "Sorry, just - well, the report mentioned "objects being erased from reality in an instant". I was looking for an inspiration for a weapon of some sorts, reality displacement was an idea, and I was aware of a few...incidents on Praemium. Sorry for stalking, just got interested in the whole...topic. I swear, I don't know anything about you, other than your general description and capabilities.
-
"Alright. You're creepy and batshit insane. A reality displacement weapon!? Are you fuсking nuts!? I mean what genius idea did that come from, oh wait, because you fuсking stalked me!" [i]Samuel was just throwing out random obscenities at this point, clearly pissed at Isaac. This stemmed from the fact that his greatest fear might be a reality, someone else being able to control Space as well. He flat out lied to Olivia about teaching her, which was something he had regret for.[/i] "God dammit kid! ...I just don't want a threat to others...Manipulating space is [b]serious[/b]. And don't give me that 'I know haha' because you don't. I'd rather keep it that way."
-
"I-I didn't mean to.." [i]But Isaac merely silenced himself as Sam went off, reduced from trying to explain himself to a quiet child. As he stared up at Sam's roaring face, Arianna was remaining silent in the background, although that solemn facial expression hid away laugher. She found amusement in the whole idea of Isaac being yelled at by something (or rather, someone) that he had focused a project around.[/i] [i]After Sam had finished his rant, Isaac only sighed and dropped the massive bag that he carted around, the duffel bag clunking against the wary with a hefty thump. He kneeled next to it, opening it up - enough for Sam and Ari to see. At least five firearms - a pistol, two shotguns, two rifles, and all in a steampunk style - laid within its depths, alongside several folders and neat papers. A picture containing him and...not one, but two versions of Arianna, one being considerably older than the other and dressed in an old Victorian outfit. The picture was upon one of the folders, which Isaac drew from the bag.[/i] [i]Isaac flipped through the folder, least until he reached somewhere in the back, and removed a singular file, named "LAST RESORT". He looked at the name for a moment, sighing before handing the file to Sam.[/i] "Burn it, destroy it - wipe it away from existence. I'd trust you with the information in that, only because...well, you know about this sort of stuff.." [i]Isaac continued to hold on the file to the older, more experienced man, as if he would love nothing more than to see it annihilated.[/i]
-
"Not...entirely true. If Mordecai is still kicking, he knows more than me. But I highly doubt it." [i]He had said, snatching the folder away from Isaac, pulling out his lighter and striking it.[/i] "Erasing it would be too much effort. I'm not having a fuсking heart attack just to erase a piece of paper." [i]The folder was lit on fire, the flames trailing up it, Sam let go and just watched it burn.[/i] "I am doing this so you don't have the burden I do. I can't trust nobody with this, not even Livia. You'd just use it for self gain, but then once you accomplish it, you'll see what you have wrought upon others for being a greedy piece of shit."
