Elsewhere in the house the TV was turned on. ((Assuming Edgy has a TV)) ((Probably, yeah :B he's going to have fun with this)) ((I'd assume he would in order to watch Steel Samurai. )) Din: *stands up and grins, dusting off her hands* That's the spirit! I think we can move out of this area, there's no tyros on this weird black rock or in the themed storage buildings. Can you think of somewhere else we should check? We were told they could be anywhere.... Hmm... Oh! The arcade! And there's a dance club open at night! ((*reading* So the actual name for Cream Elves is "Revamped Elves"? I like your name more. The actual name of your Dark Elves is "Scrap Elves".)) ((Don't care.)) junkbot's bucket: *frozen in place* The tyros ran along, unaware they were being followed and even of the cyber elf. The junkbot however, noticed all of these things. She sped the group up, picking up the slowest tyro in her arms and holding them.The junkbot zig-zagging through the alleyways and abandoned streets, turning her head to look at every single dilapidated building they passed. The Rinamians fell behind. *as soon as she notices that grabbing junkybot didn't slow her down, drops the bucket and zips forward, grabbing at the junkybot again shortly after she rounds the first corner, aiming for a torso piece*((Yes, the two Kana ordered to be at the square are still there)) tyro: *holds onto Proto Man* You're mean. That's a matter of perspective, kid. *lands, getting off the shield* *to the two Rinamians* Excuse me. This is one of the tyros you're looking for, right?

((Been a rough week, but it's only gonna get rougher)) Kana: I meant somewhere... safe. Your family is a great asset to this search, but I prefer those designed for combat handle areas of uncertain safety. Much appreciated. I'm all for avoiding trouble waiting to happen. I dunno, we could try near the apartment housing districts. Too tight of spaces for dragons to explore thoroughly, was probably skipped.

((You say that like I've played the game XD For all I know Edgy lives as a hippy in the forest. While that's not very likely, I did imagine him as living in this large creepy house out away from where other people live with no one but himself and the house/groundskeeping staff. I thought that if he had any animals they were mean guard dogs and maybe a horse. He didn't seem like the TV watching type, so I thought he might not bother with having one at all. But this is all based on my vague knowledge of the character. Learning that he likes some show called "Steel Samurai" amuses me immensely. It sounds like a children's action cartoon and I can't stop picturing him watching while wearing pink bunny slippers and in general actually having a fun side.)) Din: There's a dance club in Taco City? Neat! We'll check the arcade first, then that. ... Roof. Din: Oh, that's right! We did forget the roof. How about we fly over it on the way to the arcade? --- ((Aww, why not? I thought it was neat. I was actually looking to see if the Cyber Elf subclasses had names, but I couldn't find any other then Revamped Elves and Scrap Elves, but their main class wasn't listed. Presumably it's Hacker [which seems to be a catchall class], since they don't really seem like Nurse or Animal types. 1-5 1-2= grabs the junkbot's torso 3-4= grabs the tyro 5= grabs the junkbot's hand/arm that is around the tyro)) The cyber elf grabbed onto one of the moving parts in the junkbot's central area, causing it to immediately stop moving. She screamed and dropped the tyro she was carrying, but the unfortunate babe bounced and rolled out of the way before she fell. The scream alarmed the following Rinamians, who began to reconsider their assumption that a Tacobot hauling off with tiny Sermekan robots was amusing and only had to do with a frantic case of motherly desire. The junkbot writhed on the ground, her screams broken by sobs and her attempts to locate her modified cyber-elf vacuum 1-20. Upon grasping the device she switched it on and turned it on the cyber-elf. Around her, the tyros grew more and more frightened.--- tyro: *stumbles after Proto Man* robot: Probably. How did you know? Where was she? other robot: Come here, little tyro. I'm going to take you to Rinam. tyro on the bed: *squeals and jumps to the floor* Did you hear that?! He's going to help us get home! Elsewhere in the house the TV was turned on. ((Assuming Edgy has a TV)) (...I assume that means "yes," then.) *sighs and starts climbs out of bed* How many of you are there? ((Probably, yeah :B he's going to have fun with this)) r.tyro: Lots! r.tyro: *hops from side to side* There's only one of me! r.tyro: *raises and waves her hand* Not everyone is here. ((Last week was fine for me, but this week is going to be rough.)) Kana: If there's any party already searching there I'll let them know we'll take over. *opens her quire and begins mental-typing*

Neither of you look like you got wings... or a jet...((Aww, why not? I thought it was neat.)) ((Okay, maybe 'don't care' isn't quite accurate. I kinda care about it in the same way that I care about spoilers, because that's basically what it feels like to me. I really don't like having this stuff pushed on me, and I enjoyed it more when I found it out myself. I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop.))

Kana: If there's any party already searching there I'll let them know we'll take over. *opens her quire and begins mental-typing* Any music you guys want to listen to on the way? We should totally play some Kavinsky. What about Testarossa Autodrive? I am more partial to Dead Cruiser, though perhaps not at the moment. Pff. Though you do give me an idea. *Cardinal turns on Protovision and speeds up further in the lead position, making the "V" formation more pronounced as the others space themselves accordingly*

((Ah, that makes a lot more sense)) Din: *presto appear-o la windboard* We have windboards! .... I'll walk.

It's not being pushed onto you any more then any other time I find something interesting and want to talk about it. I'm sorry, you used to like hearing about new discoveries, and this is the first time I've heard otherwise. Also, you've never given any indication that you do research. Future knowledge will be shared with those who are more recipient of it.)) 1-20The Cyber Elf was sucked up about the same time the Rinamians caught up. One of the soldiers slammed her foot down on the device a moment too late. The junkbot was quickly bound, while the Cyber Elf was transported into a sealed container in some forgettable warehouse. Two robots with multi-colored pieced-together armor sat nearby chatting. There was a dinging noise, and they both looked to the Cyber Elf. Neither had a face made of less then three sections. The Chimerabot on the left stood up and grabbed the jar, moving it aside and replacing it with an empty jar. She smiled down at the cyber elf as she walked away from the interceptor contraption and toward a table behind the other robot that was a fourth full of jars containing listless Cyber Elves. The seated Chimerabot poked at the glass.Chimerabot 2: And what kind of tasty morsel is this one? Chimerabot 1: Wood? I'll have to look at the pamphlet. I don't think it can survive off-planet, so we can't sell it. -back in the alley- robot1: *shaking the junkbot* WHERE'S THE ELF? I SWEAR I WILL- robot 2: Relax, those things just lead to that one Elf facility... whatever its name is. robot1: It had better. You take the tyros and go, I'll deal with this walking trash can. The second Rinamian ushered the whimpering, confused tyros over to a windboard. One broke away, running for the junkbot. Her new guardian grabbed her, seating and strapping the tyro firmly on the windboard before taking off.---- ((Eh?)) tyro: That's not true! She was a nice robot with no casings and he was mean and he hurt her when she was just trying to help my friends and me! He's mean and he hurt me too! You should arrest him and hurt him back! robot: Uh-huh. And the he brought you here, where you would be safe. Like the meanie he is. *gestures to the other* Hurry up and get the Sermekan brat out of here. Amid the indignant rants of the tyro, her kicking, screaming, and biting; the other robot teleported her away.robot: So, where is the monster? I've heard about some Tacobot thieves, but no one ever said they were made of parts from multiple robots. Must be a new kind. ((Kana's behavior will now be affected by the results of her visit to Cardinal in the HBR thread.)) A new message popped up for Kana, and she opened it.Kana: Strange...@torkie10

A new message popped up for Kana, and she opened it.Kana: Strange... Something up? *Turns down another street* (Maybe we can meet up with the rest later on… will have to figure out where they went to. Only so many things at a time though. Still would be useful if we had Snake.)

Din: *gets on the windboard* Okay, hop on and hold on tight! Which direction are we going? ---- ((I have never commented on your play style. I used to try and help you on your canon mastery because I thought you were bothered by inaccuracy and you seemed open to it because you made similar critiques toward everyone else, asked or not. But you're AU now so I don't care beyond understanding the whys behind what you do. I used to comment when I felt your characters were acting too much like clones of you and get pretty angry when you god-modded. Lately more of your characters have developed distinct personalities and you've cut back on the god-modding, though you do still like to impart characters with knowledge they couldn't possibly have and you're still annoying me with your flagrant abuse of omnipresent, omniscient NPCs, specifically cyber elves. I've already talked to you about them and requested you not pop in a cyber elf every time you're feeling disadvantaged (whether it be personnel, power, or information wise). There are NPCs all over the city, yet you don't see other writers abusing their existence... well, not that kind of abuse Their usage falls into a more literal sense of the word "abuse"... There is little point in interacting with NPCs, and by using NPCs instead of real characters you miss out on character development and help perpetuate the ignorance of your characters that you frequently try to make up for with more NPCs. In general, if I'm going to have a scene with extensive NPC to NPC interaction I will be the one who writes it.)) The glass didn't seem to be real glass. It was of a neutral temperature, but seem to push back at the Elf's touch, yet not move at all.Chimerabot 2: Not off-planet, anyway. Chimerabot 1: *sets the jar down on the table* Correct. Chimerabot 2: Well, if we get a few more I know someone who would be interested, but Iotasol chow doesn't pay much. Which gang caught it? Chimerabot 1: *looking down at the jar's lid* 3. The same gang that came by to borrow Thug. Their operation must have went well. ---- ((Woah, that's ugly. I wouldn't say most chimerabots look like machine versions of that, but I won't say some don't. The junkbots are much closer to robots obtained for A.I.'s Flesh Fair- a festival devoted to celebrating humanity... by destroying broken-down robots. Has a monster truck rally feel to it: image link 1, image link 2, image link 3.)) robot: *shrugs* Like I said, a new kind. But it makes sense- might answer the question of where all the good stuff goes since the thieves everyones' been seeing are skeletons held together by trash. I'll report it and we'll see what the higher-ups decide to do. One tyro stayed behind in the bedroom, crawling into the bed once Edgy had left. Two not with the ones walking with Edgeworth ran down the hall, but they hid when they saw the human. Two more were watching TV.Kana: There's been a run-in with a Tacobot. It was trying to kidnap some tyros.

Kana: There's been a run-in with a Tacobot. It was trying to kidnap some tyros. …Well, all my brothers are accounted for… Thoughts?
Can't have been Roll. What about the Menace?
That is highly unlikely. We would have known if he were in town.
It's not his style anyway. His is either avoid or destroy. There is no in-between.
One of the Hunters, perhaps?
That can't be right. Didn't they already have clearance? It wouldn't be considered kidnapping.
Well, it's not Rommel's crowd, that's for sure. They've kept out of this.
*Amused hiss* Have you ever consider the fact it might be your other, Blues?
… … … Don't call me that.
I am quite serious. He has this nasty habit of inserting himself in what is none of his business and trying to play the hero that purges evil. You've already been attacked for it more than once.
One of these days I'm going to figure out how to lock you out of the DWN_OS feeds, ya [jerk]. Shaddup.
I don't suppose they gave a description of the miscreant?

(( The Scrac that Smiles Back, you see this? ((Also, you've never given any indication that you do research.)) I consider things like this - among many other things - to be related to play style, because how you prepare to play or approach a game can have an influence on how you play. You've made several such comments/complaints, and I just hate it because it feels like you're saying I'm doing something fundimentally wrong and that I need to do something that I really don't want to do. And such things are really just a matter of preference, not a requirement. I've already asked you many times to stop. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop.)) Din: *gets on the windboard* Okay, hop on and hold on tight! Which direction are we going? .oO (So she can speak in complete sentences...) Er... Okay. *carefully climbs on, trying to get his large frame well-balanced and well-centered* The glass didn't seem to be real glass. It was of a neutral temperature, but seem to push back at the Elf's touch, yet not move at all. *shortly after touching the glass, after realizing that it's not going to zap her, tries freezing the jar in-place before the chimerabot sets it down on the table*robot: *shrugs* Like I said, a new kind. But it makes sense- might answer the question of where all the good stuff goes since the thieves everyones' been seeing are skeletons held together by trash. I'll report it and we'll see what the higher-ups decide to do. Speaking of reporting, do you know who programmed their self-preservation instincts?

tyros watching tv: *zombie-esc expressions at the TV, one nods slowly* Kana: The Tacobot is described as a "chassis with all parts protective or non-essential removed". The soldier also notes that what parts could be replaced with trash have been. Gender is unidentifiable. Also message popped up, and Kana quickly opened it.Kana: .... Not a Tacobot. A Sermekan. Accidentally killed. ((No, you've asked me in this conversation to stop. That's once, Omni. I agreed to. Could you not loop the conversation? As for doing something wrong - when you are AU but claim to be canon then you are doing something fundamentally wrong. But you're AU and don't claim to be canon-following, so what exactly is the problem? Torkie is AU as well, and I still tell her about everything cool I learn about the canon her characters come from, and even about other songs and other takes on her characters. Because I think she'll be interested. Being AU means she can pick and choose what she uses - it is all a matter of preference. Most recently I posted about something from Project X Zone and tagged you because I thought it was really exciting news. I spoiler boxed it because it was technically a spoiler, but also for dramatic effect because it was about a theory of yours Project X Zone had revealed to be true. I was super excited and couldn't wait to see your reaction, but instead of even looking you yelled at me about spoilers and were really just a big jerk about the whole thing.)) *looking between Van and the more twiggy Din* Din: You can wrap your arms around my waist or hold onto my shoulders to help keep you steady. If you're not used to flying I recommend the waist, it's more secure. ---- The cyber elf's effect rebounded.---- robot: *distantly* Whose what?
