[b]Germany-Switzerland:[/b] The three figures stand in utter darkness, the third emanating etheric light as she strolls, casting the shadows of the other two upon the dense foliage. The first figure speaks first; his voice is cool and deep, yet also conveys the further sense of instability creeping into his conscious. [1]: Why did you bring us here Arty? Why would you embroil me in yet another battle, when I am currently at war with myself? When I have forgiven myself my crimes, but not forgotten? The feminine figure strolls, her light rebounding off of the first figure's 'suit. She makes no sound, nor leaves a trace of her presence when she moves. [3]: The choice wasn't mine to make, surely a familiar feeling for you M- [1]: -Don't call me that- [3]: Arnold wante- [1]: [b]I don't give a -blam!- what Arnold wanted![/b]... Why couldn't you have left me to my fate? The second figure speaks then, his voice more youthful than that of the first figure, and his is crisp, yet underlays the horror which he had just encountered. [2]: You know perfectly well why we couldn't leave you there. We need you here, to do your duty to this place... [3]: Of all the things you could have said... The first figure sighs in frustration and walks off [1]: It was duty that did this to me, and me to them. It is the mother of all problems, and yet I am irrevocably bound to it Eric. [2]: [whispers] You were right, here he goes again [1]: I can literally hear Arty's circuits move. What makes you believe that I cannot hear you? [3]: You can? [2]: Ginger, have you forgotten what you were? Have you forgotten who you were? Those WorldMinds sacrificed themselves for duty, as you would have done once. Now you shy away from it as a sheep might a wolf. Tell me, what are you? A Sheep? Or a Wolf? [1]: I- [2]: No, tell me now! What are you! [1]: I am. Ginger made for a imposing figure, his silhouette dwarfing that of Eric. He set a marker on his tac-pad and began walking. [3]: We won't be coming with you. We cannot come with you. He hesitates once, iridescent light beginning to leak from beneath his boots. [1]: In a fashion... He suddenly takes off, soaring through the air at Mach 6 as he inches closer towards Unity City. [spoiler]Take that for a character intro bitches! And yes, I'm cross-RPing. Deal with it. [/spoiler]
