Ignis put the cross down as it entered the room. Relius bowed. "This is my most powerful subject. I understand that it is needed for some vital function, and I am glad to-" He stopped and looked at Nu. "A Murakumo unit? What is that doing here?" Nu turned and stared at Ignis.
"Nox Nyctores detected."
"Nox Nyctores detected."
Rose sat down in front of the fortune teller and gave her a wave and a smile. The fortune teller set down a card, The Eight of Swords. "Your will shall be tried...but those who love you...will give you...the strength to overcome." Rose gave the fortune teller a smile and a nod and dropped a few coins in her tip jar before leaving.
"Yeah. I don't know anything about astronomy, but sometimes I do like to look up at the stars." Four said as she laid down next to Gwen.

OOC: And now: This...
Two figures wander through the streets of London as the sun sets. Their gray cloaks seemed to attract more attention then divert it, so it was a good thing that most people were off of the street at this time. The two wander past an alleyway. The alleyway happens to be near a bar. There happens to be three young men in this alleyway near the bar. They happen to be drunk and reckless and out of money. "Hey! Could yoosh two comover here?" one of them slurs.
The two figures look at each other, then step into the ally. "Thass right...comon over...yeah..." another says with a stupid grin. "Oi...whash withh da shtick?" the third asks when he sees one of the figures carrying a somewhat ornate looking staff. "That don matter! Nao shudup!" the first one says with a deep frown. He then turns back to the two figures. "So anyway...I wash open yoosh could len me an my frends here som mony...we sheem to be out." he says with a toothy grin.
Again the figures look at one another. "I'm afraid we only have a little money...and I am not so quick to give it to strangers." the taller figure says in a distinctly female voice.
The three men instantly look angry. "Awww comon nao...ya can't be tha hardup fer mony...not with that shhhtick...an that necklace..." the first man says as he pulls an object from his pocket. A strange click is quickly followed by the distinct gleam of metal in the light of a street lamp. "Thash prolly worth somthin..." he says as he grins maniacally. He and his two comrades advance on the figures. The female starts to nervously finger her pendent. "O-oh...y-y-you like my necklace? W-well it is....quite nice..." She takes the hand of her, much shorter, companion as she talks. "I-in fact...I've always found it had the power to...DAZZLE!" As she shouts the last word, the three men are assaulted by a harsh mixture of bright, multicolored lights and loud noises that seem to come from everywhere at once. The smaller figure produces a pole that comes up to about their shoulder and holds it in one hand. Taking careful aim and concentrating, three bolts of white energy fly like arrows at the men and they fall to the ground.
The female figure gives a relieved sigh, then pulls out a knife and walks toward the men on the ground. "...C-c-could we...just...l-leave them?" the figure asks in the voice of a small, frightened boy. The female shakes her head from under her hood as the men already start to stir. She quickly buries the knife into each of the men's hearts, then returns. "There now...that wasn't so bad...right?" she asks, not sounding very convinced herself. The boy looks up at her for a moment, then nods and stands closer to the taller female and the two walk away.

"I confess that I agree, Gwen." Jio says as he walks up the ship. "I like being able to see the stars. Not for science, just for pleasure. One thing I think my home has over this place. It's rare that one can't see the stars at night."

"She has come to serve us, Relius. And that subject is needed to power the city and keep it afloat."
Ikaros holds his hand over the ground and a small portal opens up. After a moment a sickly looking man rises from below. "This one is now, useless." With that he thrusts his hand right through the man, who coughs up blood and goes limp before being tossed aside. "Bring the new subject here."

<color=purple>"The next time I have a chance, I should show you a close up of the sun on my telescope, you can see plasma arc going between sunspots. It really is quite something."
<color=purple>"Well Jio... astronomy has its aesthetic values as well. That's almost how the whole subject started.... when the ancient people made names for constellations from their legends and society. Even the sun had immortal values placed upon it."

"It's my understanding that it is also used to navigate. It has been used by many people for that purpose. I was never very good at it though. I just enjoy looking up at the stars." He looks back at Gwen. "They probably have a totally different meaning to you, though, since you control gravity."
Ignis picked up the cross once more, carrying it over to the edge of the portal, then sheared the bonds with her claws. The subject fell to the ground, then stood up, staring with souless eyes. Relius looked Nu up and down. "This is a fairly weak model... Murakumo, what nuber are you?"
"Nu-13."
"The thirteenth subject? I thought it was destroyed."
"Nu's body was destroyed, but Nu's soul was implanted into the body of Lambda-11."
"No wonder it seems so outdated. The eleventh subject was left rotting under rubble for seven years. I am amazed it is functioning at all." Relius turned to Athena. "I will have to take the Murakumo down to my lab for upgrades."
OoC: @Outis Ooooh. I like the looks of these guys. Just racking my brains to see if they're from something I know...

<color=purple>"They certainly do, Jio. The meaning of the stars has changed dramatically from century to century. Did you know, that once a star dies, its material becomes a nebula for new stars to be born under gravity? Carl Sagan once said, 'Stars are like phoenixes; they rise from their own ashes.' And every atom that's present within this Earth and every planet in this solar system was forged inside the star that preceded the one we see all the time. We are star stuff." She smiled.
OOC: Let me help you...no. They are OC's. Anyway...Gearhead mk2 said:
The two figures walk down the streets of London, trying to distance themselves from where they just were...
"Interesting. So, is this effectively what the Big Bang was?" Jio asks Gwen.

Jin had found the ingredients he needed, but lacking the proper British pounds he was forced t leave without them. "I should have thought of that."
___
The man rose into the air and made not a move as he was placed in the portal below the throne. It then sealed up, too thick and heavy to be pierced. "Excellent. That old one was too worn out after two years to last much longer. Too bad I haven't been able to hold another Olympia tournament to find a proper battery."
He looks at Relius. "Do as you wish. Also, you may take the old battery, if you wish."

The two figures continue walking. They eventually come across a rive and an area of the city that is especially deserted...
