WAOA Arena

[Chungus]

With the goo strand severed, the part that wasn't still connected to Pix hit the floor, and lost its form, flowing into a puddle. While Pix wasn't too concerned with the strand being severed, the drop in temperature of the goo bothered her a great deal more, making the armour vibrate a bit as the stranded reeled back. The part of the goo that was thickened by the drop in temperature was moved to the inner upper arm by Pix, so to not have it affect the speed of future strands.

Circling around Nanami more as the strand retracted, Solaris kept her right arm pointed towards Nanami, and moving her left infront of the circle, not touching just yet. She moved the right arm around erratically to throw Nanami off, while keeping her eyes focused on Nanami's torso. [sub]"Feet..."[/sub] Solaris whispered, before quickly pointing downwards with her right arm without looking, and touching the circle, prompting Pix to shoot two thin spears towards Nanami's feet. While Solaris didn't aim, Pix did, and so the spears were fired with a good amount of accuracy.

 

[Zepherus14]

When Solaris whispered again, Nanami stopped moving, not sure why she was talking, or what she was exactly saying. When she started moving her arm erratically Nanami started to look for other possible indicators of her intent. However when she brought her arm down to Nanami's feet with such purpose much like the other times before, Nanami quickly acted.

She brought her one foot back behind the first, and then brought her spear in front of the first foot. Pix's spike would be blocked by Nanami's spear, and would actually freeze this time since the impart would be much longer than a simple slice. Frost would actually fall from the closest point to the spear.

Nanami however would be slightly off-balance from this maneuver however.

 

[Chungus]

With the goo strand being partially frozen, Pix began vibrating again, although this time far more intensely, so much so it produced a faint buzzing noise. Seeing Nanami was thrown-off balance, however, Solaris rushed forwards as the goo strands reeled back, the one that was frozen doing so more slowly. Sprinting towards Nanami, Solaris closed the distance between them rather quickly, and tried to thrust the palm of her right hand towards Nanami's chest.

While Solaris wasn't that much stronger then her slight frame indicated, that she thrusted whilst running towards Nanami added force to the blow.

 

[Zepherus14]

Nanami wouldn't be able to fully recover from the dodge from before, so she wouldn't able to get out of the way in time. Solaris would be able to strike Nanami in the chest, sending her backwards.

However one thing she wasn't possibly anticipating the problem that with a charge attack, you will have follow through. As Solaris kept pushing, partially out of just reflexes to try to not fall down, and also to make sure Solaris wasn't getting away from her. As she touched her arm, there was a brief moment where nothing seemed to happen. Within a matter of seconds, the immediate area that Nanami had latched onto would have frozen.

 

[Chungus]

Being grabbed by the arm, and being pulled down by Nanami, Solaris gritted her teeth. Recognising what Nanami was trying to do, Solaris pushed herself forwards with the remaining foot that was still on the ground, and slammed herself against Nanami to ensure Nanami would hit the ground first, unless Nanami could twist her body around before this happened.

With it not being her arm that was subjugated to the freezing, Solaris didn't respond to it. Pix however, began vibrating even more, violently, and even hissed in pain. With Solaris being so close to Nanami, this was probably a noise that wouldn't be missed.

 

[Zepherus14]

Given the last few moments before the match would end, Nanami won't exactly notice that the sound was coming from Pix, as she just heard a sound. She knew it wasn't from Solaris, so she wasn't entirely sure what it was.

Regardless in the last few moment, Nanami unable to use her spear to prop herself back up, and Solaris diving onto her so Nanami couldn't simply pull her to the ground first, she used one last ace. Although far less pliable than regular old water, Nanami forced Pix to flow from Solaris outstretched hand, behind her and to the ground. Freezing it, the two would tumble sideways, both hitting the ground at virtually the same time as they each hit their own sides.

[color=00aa44] "Unit doesn't fully understand the situation either... but Unit has reached the point where it would have been beyond normal repair methods to reactivate her functions. However, Unit is still functioning, so the logical assumption is that deactivation in this place is not possible." [/color] Vera said, blinking a small bit. [color=00aa44] "Unit needs no rewards. Knowing the mission was completed is sufficient." [/color]

[hr]

Carmen blinked blankly before pointing in the direction of the lounge. [color=bb0066] [small] "If you go down the hallway and turn right, you should see a large lounge with an open door to your left side. People who are stuck here like you generally congregate there. If you wish to learn more, they would be the people to ask. As you can tell, I'm not in a state to lecture." [/small] [/color] With that, she gave Seras a small curtsy before turning and continuing on her way.

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Hang on. Can I at least bring you to a room or something?" Seras asked as she follows Carmen.

"That's stupid. You shouldn't treat yourself like a piece of property." Rex said to Vera.

 

[Chungus]

With Nanami cleverly bending Pix and partially freezing her over to serve as a vault, Solaris hit the ground on her side with a thud at the same time as Nanami did, grunting as she did. With the match being declared a draw, Solaris blew a mildly disappointed sigh, as she pushed away from Nanami, and rose to her feet. She was about to congratulate Nanami, but looked down upon noting the heavy vibrations a pained Pix made. Knowing there wasn't anything she could do to aleviate this, Solaris settled on staying in the arena for a moment, hoping the medics would arive to patch Pix up, and congratulated Nanami as she waited.

Sure enough, the medics arived quickly, and tended to the damage done to Pix via healing magic. The fact that Solaris' 'armour' was being tended to by medics would likely raise some questions with Nanami, but Solaris didn't wait around for these, leaving as soon as the medics are done.
[hr]
Selim looked up quizically towards Vera as she tried to explain the lack of true death in the arena, his eyes widening with mild excitement near the end. [color=915f6d]"Oh... That's... That's so cool! I wish I knew how this worked!"[/color] He said with a little more enthusiasm in his voice then before, although still less then normal. A moment after he said this, Selim blew a small sigh, and walked further into the room. [color=915f6d]"Anyway... You asked who these are, Miss Robot?"[/color] He asked, motioning over to the various drawings. [color=915f6d]"They're my mom and dad! Do you like them?"[/color] He asked expectantly.

 

[DotSlash]

Vera nodded slowly, her eyes lighting up to show small green checkmarks before returning to a blank state. [color=00aa44] "Drawings are more well done than Unit would have predicted. Inquiring reason for subject drawing parental units repeatedly." [/color] Looking to Rex, she shrugged. [color=00aa44] "Unit is property of the manufacturer. Inquiring if subject wouldn't see an android they had created as property." [/color]

[hr]

The demoness' head shook softly in response to the offer. [color=bb0066] [small] "Thank you... but I'd rather be left alone right now... It's more important for you to learn of this place than try to help me." [/small] [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Not if they were like you, since you can clearly think for yourself." Rex said.

"I really don't think you should just be wandering around here like this..."

 

[Chungus]

After leaving the arena and the locker room, Solaris began walking the hallway in a random direction, moving form door to door, and trying to open each one she passed. "That... didn't go very well." She said to Pix with a hushed voice as she tried to open a door, moving on to the next once she found it was locked. "I'm sorry you were damaged so much."
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"Why?"[/color] Selim asked, turning back, and looking up to Vera, his face beaming with pride over the compliment she had given. [color=915f6d]"Because I love my mom and dad, silly!"[/color]

 

[DotSlash]

[color=00aa44] "...Love?" [/color] Vera questioned, tilting her head in response. [color=00aa44] "An object's sentience doesn't undermine the fact that the object is still an object." [/color]

[hr]

[color=80bb00] "I-i-i-i-it's f-f-ffine..." [/color] Pix managed to stutter out, still feeling the effects of the cold despite the battle being long over. The points where she had been frozen looked to be an icy blue splotch on the armor as Solaris continued onward, though she managed to keep enough control to speak in a low tone. [color=80bb00] "That fuckin' knight... I wanna eat him alive... but then he'd just do... whatever the fuck it did to me before..." [/color]

[hr]

[color=bb0066] [small] "Leave me be...." [/small] [/color] Carmen said almost instantly, turning and walking off.

 

[Chungus]

"Well..." Solaris began as she moved on to another door, a small smile appearing on her face. "He won't be able to freeze you over like that when his hands are torn up... You'll get to eat him when we no longer need to keep up this charade." Finding a door that was unlocked, Solaris opened it, finding the room was still without an owner.

"Hmm. Are you in any shape to get these screws out?" She asked after stepping inside the room, motioning over to the screws of the hinges.
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"Yeah, love."[/color] Selim responded with a nod, looking mildly confused. [color=915f6d]"It's when you like someone or something very, very much! I guess you've never known this, huh, Miss Robot?"[/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"But..." Seras said, not wanting to let this woman wander about on her own. "Can you at least tell me your name?"

"...Yes it does." Rex said flatly.

 

[DotSlash]

Vera curtly shook her head in response to Selim. [color=00aa44] "That was not a protocol Unit had installed." [/color] She said, blinking blankly once again. Turning to Rex, the android then tilted her head. [color=00aa44] "Why does sentience change the fact that an object that's owned is an object that's owned? From her former protocol, all humans are the objects of their parents as children." [/color]

[hr]

Pix grunted a small bit before extending a bit of herself to do just what Solaris had requested. [color=80bb00] "I'll manage... I'm not dead just yet... And I'm gonna be fucking looking forward to that then!" [/color] She said, gritting her teeth in annoyance and her vibrations creating an audible noise once again.

[hr]

The demoness continued moving onward as she answer. [color=bb0066] [small] "Carmen. Now please, leave me be." [/small] [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"That's a seriously fucked up way of looking at things. You can't own people, and you're close enough to a person to seem like someone that shouldn't be owned by anyone."

Seras watched Carmen walk away.

 

[Chungus]

"Yes... I will be looking forward to the moment when we can drop the act, too." Solaris commented as Pix worked on removing the screws, moving closer to make it easier for Pix to do so. "although for some different reasons. The main reason being that this would mean I'm close to going home.... and the sooner that happens, the better. Solaris had something of a scowl on her face as she spoke, although this became more of a neutral expression as Pix vibrated more intensely.

When all the screws were removed, Solaris caught the door, and began dragging it towards her suite.
[hr]
[color=915f6d]"Was...? So that means you've had it installed recently, right?"[/color] Selim asked Vera. At Vera's mentioning of children as objects, Selim pouted. [color=915f6d]"H-hey! I'm not an object!"[/color] He said somewhat indignantly.

 

[DotSlash]

[color=00aa44] "An object's form doesn't excuse the fact than an object is an object." [/color] Vera said blankly again. [color=00aa44] "Unit is simply metal and electrical impulses, just as you are just blood flowing through a large pile of flesh and bone. " [/color] Looking to Selim, Vera giggled a small bit. [color=00aa44] "Unit apologizes for the misidentification." [/color] She then went back to a more neutral expression. [color=00aa44] "Unit has never had that protocol installed... knowledge of it isn't enough for unit to respond to it correctly, were the situation to arise." [/color]

[hr]

Solaris would find that the door would be a bit easier to move around as Pix attached herself to where the door touched the armor naturally and helped. [color=80bb00] "Right... I'm kind of reaching the end of my patience though...." [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

"You're not gonna convince me people are objects." Rex said firmly.
