[i][b]Lyon walked over to the phone, answering the ringing phone.[/b][/i]
"Hola muchacho."
English
-
"Hello this is an associate from Mantle Labs, I am Dr. Shwitz." The voice belonged to a woman with a very thick German accent. She had a very professional tone to her voice. "I believe you ran across one of our AS-7 series? The large one with many limbs? We are very sorry for any trouble it may have caused but this also gives opportunity yes? We specialize in contracting military hardware. Is this interest to you?"
-
"To be quite honest it wasn't too much trouble. The thing has the courage of chicken, and about the intelligence of one too, no offence." [b][i]He said[/i][/b] "And if that's what your offering, I'd rather not have genetic -blam!- ups wandering with me thank you very much."
-
"Hmm, perhaps they do need more reconditioning. Thank you for your information." Her tone of voice seemed to suggest she was looking at this situation as a test on her creation. "Ah no matter it will heal itself from whatever you did to it. Was creature too big for your liking? No is ugly creature right? As for smartness ahhh... can't be helped. Too smart and we will have another containment breach like AM-4"
-
"Could try shock collars. What they did for dogs when I was in service. Either that or maybe chemical darts to use as targeting. Tag the enemies with something it really hates, make Em go ballistic on them?"
-
"It wouldn't feel the shock but a stronger encouragement to follow through with chemicals sounds plausible." Before anything else could be said she hung up without so much as a bye. A bit of an awkward way to end a conversation over a strange genetically engineered creature. Tibia seemed confused and somewhat shook up from the confrontation. "[u]U-umm... What was that thing?[/u]" She stared at the phone, wondering if it gave any answers to what the monstrosity that ate a person was.
-
"Some sort of genetic -blam!- up. See, this is why incest is a bad thing." [b][i]He says jokingly, slinging his crossbow on his back.[/i][/b] "Are you ok señorita?"
-
She dusted off a few splinters of wood from the coffin the creature smashed. She rolled up one sleeve on her clothes and pulled a small few small splinters out and then pulled up her other sleeve revealing a prosthetic metal arm that seemed fully articulate. She twirled the fingers on it and it seemed to move smoothly as any other hand. "I uhh think so. Thanks, ummm... sorry what's your name and umm do you know me?"
-
"Leon Rivas, a pleasure." [b][i]He says, bowing as he laughed a bit.[/i][/b] "and you would be?"
-
"I don't actually know" She said a little embarrassed looking to admit it. "But most people call me Tibia since I'm a necromancer. I guess it fits"
-
[b][i]He laughs a bit.[/i][/b] "Well I'm not gonna lie, that's quite fitting. I've yet to have someone call me sparky though because I use lightning.@
-
She laughed a little not looking as shook up from the encounter. "It might be a fun nickname. So umm, where do you come from. I mean if you don't mind me asking."
-
"Ah, my homeland." [b][i]He says, placing one foot on a rock, the other planted firmly on the ground, standing like a storyteller in movies.[/i][/b] "I come from a strange and exotic land. A land my people cal Mexico." [b][i]He says, obviously barely holding back a laugh[/i][/b]
-
Tibia couldn't help but start laughing at the whole scene. The overdoneness of his answer was just funny to her. "I think I'll have no problem remembering that. Mexico, home of Leon AKA 'Sparky' "
-
[b][i]He laughs along with her, smiling a bit.[/i][/b] "Hey, don't call me Sparky. I have no problems shocking a girl. Or well, not one as beautiful as yourself." [b][i]He says, a roguish grin appearing on his fave[/i][/b]
-
"Oh umm thanks..." Her face went a little red from being called beautiful. She just smiled awkwardly standing there not sure what to say.
-
"So, what possesssed you to wander out here and meet that thing?" [b][i]He says referring to the creature[/i][/b]
-
"I heard someone singing really strangely and then someone was running. By the time I got there it had the person in its mouth and then started looking at me. I didn't expect something that looked like that to be the thing singing"
-
"Glad to see I wasn't the only person curious about that singing. Well, least it's gone now."
-
"Yeah... I think I'm going to just stay at home for the rest of the night. That was uh... not what I wanted to run into late at night." A small skeleton of a lizard poked his head out of a pouch she had on her side and began making small screeching insistent noises. "Ok! Ok! I said we were going! He's umm, kind of demanding sorry!"
-
[b][i]Leon laughs a bit.[/i][/b] "Yeah, I understand. Met a couple people in the road I romanced with for a bit, had the same thing happen to me in a sense."
