WAOA Arena

[Chungus]

Erica walked over to Carmen and sat down next to her. "Lack of sleep not withstanding, I'm well, thank you. I hope you're well also?" Once Drayen entered, Erica briefly looked over to him. An Altmer? I'm not the only person from Tamriel here then. Nodded lightly in responce to Laguna's question, but was vissibly conflicted when she noticed him manifest a gun. If I recall, he did this too... Or am I remembering thing incorrectly here? Damn this unreliable memory. "Yes... I just have this odd feeling I know you, or know of you. Might I ask you name?" She asked Laguna.
[hr]
His elbow healed, Greed moved his arm up and down as he approached Rex. Why aren't you firing that thing? After cracking his knuckles, Greed picked up the pace and aimed a strong left hook at Rex's temple when in range.

Laguna looked at Erica, making sure to keep the gun lowered. "Sure. I'm Laguna. You?"

 

[Random berk]

OOC: @Gear Even if he was the sort to get excited enough to do that, he's only looking for a clarification for his research. Hardly door-shattering importance.

Drayven nodded and wrote a quick note with his quill.
"I see. Yes... it sounds like a conjuration spell for a bound weapon in its effects, but I have never heard of one that could be cast with so little knowledge on the part of the user. This bears special mention, I think."

"Another species? Huh. I've met some... weird people before, but nevr an entirely new species."

 

[Kirke]

The Meta punched Lambda's arm again, this time causing a audible, and revolting, snap. He tugged at her arm twice, and on the third time the fabric covering her arm ribbed along with the skin. He held up the dismembered limb and examined the blade on it, then looked back down on Lambda.
OoC: @Gear: So there is. Fixed it now.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex simply ducked under the path of Greed's hook, wincing to himself at the knee injury ailing him. In retaliation, he stepped in and launched a hard shocked-up uppercut toward Greed's chin, using his left hand. He still kept his gun charging, the ball getting slightly more volatile. A bit of blood started to drip from his mouth as he did this.

[color=000066] Charge... at 60%... [/color]

[hr]

Carmen nodded toward Erica, then tilted her head a bit. [color=bb0066] "I'm doing well myself, but you having problems sleeping isn't a good thing. Thoughts of home keeping you up, dear?" [/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Laguna looked at Drayven. "You doing some research?" He turned to Logan. "See? New, interesting people."

The lights on the severed limb flickered off. Lambda screamed and tried covering the wound with her remaining hand, blood and sparks flying from it.

 

[Random berk]

"Yes, this is a project that I have been working on for some time now. It is a study on the arts of magic and their applications in warfare, particularly the use of Alteration and Illusion as offensive weapons on the battlefield. These are my areas of expertise of course, and I have pioneered tactics that involve them. But as long as I am here, I feel that it is worthwhile to include some writing on the magics I have encountered that are vastly different to those of our world. Any scholar would leap at such a chance."

Logan shook his head.
"Yeah, just because someone has scales and a forked tongue doesn't make them someone I care to meet. Like I said, I've seen plenty in my time. Nothing that made me want to hang around."

 

[Kirke]

The Meta knelt down, pressing one knee against Lambda's chest. He pinned her other arm to the ground using the blade on the dismembered limb. He grabbed her by the throat, tightening the grip enough to shut her up. The AI continued their assault, trying to convert Lambda.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Laguna shrugged at Logan. "Understandable. Exploration isn't for everyone." He looked at Drayven. "Yeah, but as I understand it, we all come from different worlds, right? What if you can't use the magic that people from other worlds do? It's all well and good to know about it, but it kinda stings if you can't actually do it."

@Kirke: What are the AI's really trying to do? Brainwash her, steal data, copy her, what?

 

[Random berk]

Logan happened to be watching the screen as the Meta tormented Lambda. He got to his feet.

"What the hell is that bastard doing?" He growled, face twisting up in anger. "He's won, what's she done to deserve that treatment?"

"I have no doubt that I cannot use it." Drayven replied mildly as he wrote. "But sometimes it is good to pursue such knowledge simply out of academic interest. Whether it can be used if conflict ever arises between two cultures and knowledge of their ways of warfare is needed, or if a concept of their magic can be adapted to cure disease or similarly advance our own powers, there is never a good reason to willingly forsake mortal knowledge when it is freely given."

 

[Kirke]

OoC: @Gear: Take the AI part of her, and merge with it. If there isn't a part that they could take, then they will stop.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Laguna looked at Drayven. "Makes sense."

@Kirke: Well, there's a lot of info in her databanks, and she does have routines that allow her to function and make choices without orders or an active mission. Those count?

 

[Kirke]

OoC: @Gear: Yeah, sure. That could be counted as a partial AI.

 

[Saltyk]

Logan would hear a man speak. "She lost. The weak die. That's the way of life."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Lambda was struggling to breath, her vision fading. She felt data being pulled out of her. She tried atacking one last time, trying to slash the Meta with her remaining armblade.

 

[Chungus]

"Not quite. I have just been pondering things, and this kepts me from sleeping." Erica answered Carmen. Once Laguna stated his name, Erica gasped softly. This can be no coincidence... It is him. I don't understand... "I'm Erica... And... I definitely know of you. There is a statue of you that I visited frequently. We may even have spoken at one point, but of this, I'm not as certain."
[hr]
With Rex's more slugish movement, Greed sidestepped the uppercut, then grabbed Rex's arm in which he held the gun, having seen the glow coming from the barrel, and not being paticularly eager to find out what this meant. Acting quickly to reduce the chances of being shocked again, Greed attempted to twist the arm backwards to dislocate the shoulder.

Logan scowled and turned towards the source of the voice.
"Oh? And who the hell are you to condemn anyone who can't fight you?" He growled. As Lambda struggled weakly against the Meta, he began to move towards the door, sniffing out a path to the arena.

 

[Saltyk]

The voice belonged to a man in a black robe. A pipe in his mouth and a small saucer of Sake at his seat at the bar. A 150 Centimeter long sword leaning at his side.
"I'm strong." Was all he replied.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Laguna looked at Erica, and was quiet for a second. "...what? I have a statue? And I don't remember talking to you, but..." He put a hand on his chin. "You do seem kinda familiar..."

 

[Random berk]

"Lots of people like to claim that." Logan said to the man as he stormed past him towards the door.

Drayven watched as Logan left.
"Rash." He noted. "Does anyone know what will happen if he attempts to interfere in the arena?"
