[color=915f6d]"That is so cool! I met an actual robot!"[/color] Selim exclaimed happily. [color=915f6d]"So, what's it like being a robot, aside from having to keep a lot of secrets? You don't have to sleep or eat or drink or anything like that, right?"[/color] He asked while looking up excitedly towards Vera.
[hr]
Approaching the lounge, Solaris focused on things that made her sad once more, thus feigning a more morose expression. Entering the lounge a few moments after Carmen had laid herself down on the lounge, Solaris herself entered, and looked around those in the lounge. Not seeing Ness, she forced a sad sigh, and approached Carmen, giving her a small wave. "Hello... Have you seen Vanessa around?" She asked. "I need to speak to her."

[color=bb0066] "Ah, I'm sorry to say I haven't seen her around since you skewered her on stage." [/color] Carmen replied to Solaris, taking a small sip of her glass. [color=bb0066] "I have to admit that was rather well done, by the way. It looks like our rookie isn't a rookie any longer." [/color]
[hr]
Vera nodded once more. [color=00aa44] "Unit does not require food or drink, but it has taste functions.... for whatever reason it has taste functions for...." [/color] She said, scratching the back of her head. [color=00aa44] "Unit is not sure to describe how being a robot is... in comparison to living as a human." [/color]
Looking up to Rex, she shrugged. [color=00aa44] "Unit can replicate the sounds of humans, however what the unit's internal structures are is classified information. The identity of Vera's manufacturers is also classified information." [/color]

Rex rolled his eyes at all the secrecy. "So how about why you were created? Do you have some kind of purpose or are you just a proof of concept type of thing?"
At the mention of skewering Ness, Solaris had to suppress a smile, but did so rather well, her expression remaining a morose one. "Firstly, that was an accident... And secondly, don't talk like this is something I should be proud of..." She responded, blowing a sad sigh.
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"So, you don't need to eat or drink... But you do need to sleep? What about breathing? Do you need to breathe?"[/color] Selim asked curiously. Having never seen a computer before, let alone an android, he didn't commented on Vera's demeanor switching between fully mechanical, and less so, believing this was standard. [color=915f6d]"Do you, like, ever wonder what it'd be like to be human? I often wonder what it'd be like to be a robot!"[/color]

[color=bb0066] "Well, you're going to need to get used to it, so taking this sort of steps bodes well for you. Not everyone is going to be as nice as that woman will be... and I'm sure you know that." [/color] Carmen said, looking to the screens idly before looking back to Solaris. [color=bb0066] "And so, how did that 'accident' come to be? You were shooting off little spears beforehand and that last blow was surely of a thicker variety. Excuse me if I believe that wasn't unintentional." [/color]
[hr]
Vera shook her head at Rex. [color=00aa44] "That information is classified as well. Apologies." [/color]
Looking to Selim, she tilted her head. [color=00aa44] "Breathing is not necessary and sleep, as a human performs during nighttime, is not required either. Unit requires recharging and maintenance at certain times, much like any other machine." [/color]
Thinking over Selim's question, Vera looked up toward the ceiling, eyes filled with hourglasses once again before she looked back down. [color=00aa44] "Unit prefers the way it functions now... but it has wondered about life as a human. ...Seeing as humans made the unit, it only seems natural to want to know how a potential manufacturer may think." [/color]

[/color]
Rex kept quiet as he looked Vera over to try and figure her out. She was obviously far more advanced than anything even he had seen in the futuristic world of 2007.
"No. It really doesn't. Excuse me if I don't want to become the type that's desensitised to extreme violence, or worse, enjoy it." Solaris commented, then looked down towards Carmen's stomach. "Wherther it's inflicting... or recieving." Having said that, and placing subtle emphasis on "recieving", Solaris looked back to Carmen's face. "It was due to lack of focus... That's the problem with using universal arrays, it requires thought to be put into the process. Before, I was standing still, making focusing easy, but... at that last blow, I was running forwards, and thus things went wrong."
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"Huh... Well, aside from the funny talking, and saying "this unit" instead of things like I amd me and stuff, I don't see much difference between you and a human!"[/color] Selim exclaimed, then smiled brightly towards Vera. [color=915f6d]"Say... Robot lady? Would you like to be friends?"[/color] He asked after a short moment of silence, looking up expectantly to Vera.

[color=bb0066] "Unless you decide to start fighting MUCH more frequently than you do now, you may not have much choice in the matter as you'll probably have to be entered into the 'second' tournament, provided there even is one and we're not all slaughtered once the winner is declared." [/color] Carmen said, taking another small sip. She looked Solaris in the eyes, shrugging a small bit, her eyes obviously not buying what the woman had said. [color=bb0066] "A lack of focus? I wouldn't expect that from someone like you, but if that's how it is, oh well. If you're looking to apologize, I'd suggest finding her room." [/color]
[hr]
Vera blinked a bit as Rex looked her over and ended up blushing a small bit again before looking to Selim, exclamation points lighting up in her eyes. [color=00aa44] "....Unit doesn't have sufficient protocol for... friend making... but unit can learn in time." [/color] She said, voice becoming a bit less robotic once again as she nodded.

Rex scratched his head as he saw Vera blush, then felt a little strange looking at what looked like a 16 year old girl, but he kept looking anyway because he really was interested in figuring her out.
Solaris didn't shy away from being looked in the eyes, returning Carmen's look, adding feigned indignance to her sad expression. "I'm not some battle-hardened warrior. When fighting, it becomes harder to keep a level head, leading to mistakes..." She responded, blowing a sigh, and turning around. "And I'm only fighing to prevent electrocution. I don't buy into this nonsense they'll grant the winner a wish and let them go on their way. I'll find a way out on my own eventually. Anyway... I'll check the room. Thanks." With that said, Solaris left the lounge again, and began making her way to Ness' suite.
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"Yay!"[/color] Selim exclaimed as Vera didn't decline, then looked to Rex, smiling happily. [color=915f6d]"I have a robot friend!!"[/color] He exclaimed, before looking back up to Vera. [color=915f6d]"This is so cool! I can't want to tell everyone in my school about you!"[/color] With that said, Selim calmed down slightly again, and looked more curious. [color=915f6d]"What do you mean, though? You never had a friend before?"[/color]

"Interesting that a daemon could be more truthful than a human. Or something very close to a human." Pat said to Carmen as Solaris left.
As Rex continued to look her over, Vera's blushing would continue but he'd see that aside from her jacket, she was wearing nothing and everything else she was 'wearing' was just part of her outer armor.
Vera then nodded at Selim, scratching the back of her head. [color=00aa44] "Unit has never had a friend before... Contact with other humans was never in the current kind of context..." [/color] She tilted her head a bit afterward. [color=00aa44] "School? The places where human children learn protocol? ...What are those like?" [/color]
[hr]
Carmen smiled a bit as she waved Solaris off. [color=bb0066] "Don't hurt yourself, dear." [/color] She called after the woman as she left.
Pix kept silent after they left and continued to do so as Solaris kept moving along.
She looked over to Pat and shrugged casually. [color=bb0066] "We've all got our little secrets to hold, she's got hers, you have yours, et cetera." [/color] She took another sip of her wine and placed on the table next to her. [color=bb0066] "So you can notice too, huh?" [/color]

"Some secraets are less little, of course. And I only have suspicions." Pat said to Carmen.
Rex continued to ponder what Vera had under her armor, wondering if she was at all organic.

Continuing down the hallways, Solaris wiped the indignant expression off her face, and when outside Ness' door, stopped and closed her eyes for a moment. Forcing tears to come to her eyes, Solaris wiped them away, leaving her eyes just looking moist. This should do. After this, she knocked on the door. "Vanessa...?" She called out with a soft voice.
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"Oh... That's so sad..."[/color] Selim responded, pouting for a moment, before smiling again. [color=915f6d]"Well, don't worry, Miss Robot! Better late then never right?"[/color] At the question at what school was like, Selim frowned slightly. [color=915f6d]"Yeah, that's right. I don't like going to school much, but I want to learn how to become the best alchemist in the world, so I do my best anyway."[/color]

Rex wouldn't see anything denoting any sort of organic structure on Vera. She looked away from him as she noticed him still staring and began to slowly step toward the exit.
Looking to Selim, she blinked a bit. [color=00aa44] "Unit supposes that's true enough. Unknown term: Alchemist. Requesting definition." [/color]
[hr]
As Solaris knocked, there would be a long pause before the door unlocked and opened with a small crack, only one of Ness' eyes showing through. [color=666666] "....Yes?" [/color]
[hr]
Carmen chuckled. [color=bb0066] "Suspicions you say? And I don't feel that race is all that large a secret to keep. Homicidal tendencies, for example, would be something I would really want to hide from others, wouldn't you?" [/color]

As Ness opened the door, and peeked through the opening, Solaris initially said nothing, looking down towards the ground, before looking back up to Ness. "May... I come in?" She asked after the short time of silence, speaking with uncertainty in her voice.
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"An alchemist are, like people take some things, and then turn them into something new and things like that."[/color] Selim tried to explain as he began following after Vera when she began heading towards the exit. [color=915f6d]"I don't really understand it. But they have to draw cool-looking circles to do it."[/color]

With Rex's eyes no longer on her, Vera's blushing discontinued and she stopped her retreating to the door. Looking back to Selim, she tilted her head. [color=00aa44] "Unit doesn't really understand how drawings can lead to something like the movement of matter possible." [/color]
[hr]
Ness sighed a small bit before opening the door and motioning silently for Solaris to walk in.

Ness sighed a small bit before opening the door and motioning silently for Solaris to walk in.
[color=915f6d]"I don't know how it works either, but I'd like to learn!"[/color] Selim responded, shaking his head lightly near the begining, still walking, even when Vera stopped. [color=915f6d]"If I can become a alchemst, I can join the military and help out my dad!"[/color] He added, smiling brightly. Now noticing Vera had stopped, Selim stopped as well, standing outside the door. [color=915f6d]"Huh? Why're you stopping, Miss Robot? I thought we were going somewhere?"[/color]
[hr]
After Ness opened the door, Solaris stepped inside. After, she blew a deep sigh, and turned back to Ness, although she avoided eye contact for the time being, instead looking towards the area of Ness' mouth. "I'm... really, really sorry about what happened..." She began, speaking with a low voice. "I... It was a terrible mistake."
