[i]"SIMULATION: END[/i]
[i]VICTOR: IRINA"[/i]
[i]The digitalized body of Irina fell to the cold, simulated flooring, gurgling dark, corrupted blood before fading into nothingness, as the simulation of the actual Irina merely chuckled and turned from the dying version of herself.[/i]
[i]It had been...such a long time since she had gotten into a genuine fight. Not against mercenaries or assassins and whatnot - but fights against the warriors of the Dojo, as she hadn't gone against them in quite a while. She brandished her separated Rakuyo blades - one about twenty-four inches long, the blade sharpened to look like a katana, the other being ten inches long and a serrated dagger. She bore no other weapons, other than...a hidden one, within her coat. [/i]
[i]She was...getting bored. The simulation itself was blank, the concrete flooring's stone perfectly place, until a portal opened - as another being entered..[/i]
((Open - you're the one heading in.
Short post. But I need some combat, preferably melee. You come with guns, then I'll draw guns.))

"It's no problem. Long as neither of us are dead, we're fine." Zera responds, smiling a bit.
-
"Don't think that we'll be dying soon... You didn't forget to poison the tea, did you? I should've noted that I prefer arsenic in my tea." [i]Irina sarcastically mentioned, while she wouldn't have expected Zera to poison her. She wouldn't have blamed her - hell, she would've congratulated the woman whenever she found out, before falling over, dead.[/i]
-
"Nah...even if I did, a good mix of iron, argon, and some poison ivy usually gives a good...kick to the person." Zera had joked, taking off her mask, drinking herself some tea. "So...what would you like to talk about?" She asks.
-
"Well, I...have a favor to ask. About Arianna. Assuming that she comes around, I...need to fix my mistakes. Partly the reason that I had Arianna and Isaac created: not only did I want a true family, I...I wanted them to perfect my wrongdoings. All the deaths, the things I've done to ruin lives, I... ...It's hard to explain. But I was thinking if you could speak to Arianna, when she returns? And if she could even help, maybe join the Immortals? She doesn't appreciate the Dojo...especially after how it has treated Isaac."
-
"Of course. But just know that some will still see her as dojo浮渣 (Dojo scum). However, I will protect her from them. Just...tel me where she is." Zera replied.
-
"That's the issue. She's currently on an island filled with zombies. It's fine though...she'll come back fine. Came back from Yharnam, so she should be good."
-
"Zombies? Interesting..." Zera had replied. "I would send the Immortals there...maybe find out a way to revive the dead...but I've already had some of them rest out a new kind of technology. Do you remember the Infested?"
-
"Infested? I'm pretty sure that I do, actually. Care to explain the...idea?"
-
"More or less, we've been working with some source that had came from the other side. It's planning on sending it and its soldiers to help us take the Dojo from these corrupt buffoons." Zera replied, walking around. "He had been giving us knowledge on the Infested...we were able to preserve a couple from the battle, for which we've been studying since. He would like to have met you, he had said." She replied, replaying a message. "Tenno?....perhaps its necessary to work together....Infested threat...going to Lua in about an Earth year...would've loved to meet your friend...Corpus...planning on upgrading the Jackal and Zanuka...could destroy the Grineer and this 'Dojo' at once...possibility of galactic takeover?..." the message had said, audio only.
-
"...Very interesting.." [i]Irina muttered, her cybernetic hand placed upon her chin. She nodded, sipping from her drink before she spoke up.[/i] "It's interesting, alright. And I've seen what the Infested can do, it's...not nice at all. May I receive a heads-up once this attack is commencing? There's some...friends that I'd have to get out. Some like the Dojo, others don't - either way, I'd at least try to get Panta, JT, Isaac and Grant out of here before this happens."
-
"Of course. The Corpus will come within a year. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch their leader's name; the time will come when his name will be told to me. It will be pre-invasion, and the Corpus will be willing to cooperate with us and anyone else against the Dojo." Zera replies. "But I'd be willing to escort the necessary people you need out of there."
-
"Thank you. Isaac, well...he's too stubborn to leave, so I'd have to get him out myself. But thank you, still. I suppose that I should assist with the wart effort, at least slightly? Spying and such, gathering information about the Dojo and it's members. Assuming that your bunch hasn't yet."
-
"We're trying. Personally? I wouldn't want to trouble you. Most likely busy doing your thing and all. So...I guess I'm the future we might need you. Until then, I'd just say try not to die." Zera replied, standing up.
-
Alpha entered in, wearing her twin sabers. "Hey, Irina. How are you?" She was wearing odd attire, Azure and Sage colors with a white double headed dragon emblazoned over the right side of the chest. It looked like an old 1800's military coat

Edited by Orn: 5/1/2017 3:06:31 AM"Hey Al, I'm...doing well, actually. What of you?" [i]Irina twirled her own weapons calmly, the flashing steel reflecting the light within the training room ever so faintly. She was...clearly bored as hell.[/i]
-
"Tired....taking care of a family." She said, shrugging
-
"...A family? Alpha, you're not...married yet, are you?" [i]Irina was, to say the least, confused about the statement that the young girl had made. Usually she wouldn't mind, but Alpha?[/i]
-
"Engaged. Young girl around my age, named Lisa. Don't worry, it'll be fine." She said with a smile "But you seem bored, and I figure I'd get a fight in before the baby wakes up again"
-
"Alright, alright... Guess we're fighting to the death, then? This is a sim, so we'll be fine...unless you kill me, whereas I'll hunt down your family. ...Kidding."
-
"Let's not talk about family." She said shortly, drawing her sabers
-
"Alright.." [i]Irina didn't stop to speak, as she immediately began a sprint towards Alpha.[/i]
-
Alpha waited, then sidestepped, circling around Irina
-
[i]Irina merely then halted into place, looking around her shoulder to watch Alpha with a look of utter calmness.[/i]
-
The moment Irina halted, Alpha leapt at her, sabers flashing with an eerie green glow that got brighter as the blades gained momentum with their owner
-
((Do these classify as energy weapons?))
