The screams wouldn't stop and it made Jander shudder. Her eyes locked with Kristen, trying to see what lay inside her mind. After a few moments, she broke her stare, looking towards the cafe then snorted.
"Whatever," Jander took off towards the cafe. "And for the record, I'm doing this only because that wailing is irritating!" she shouted over the crowd's noise.
Actually, call me Dem or Dem Kimos I hope they add a name change soon...

Some said that eyes were a portal to the soul. Jander would have plenty of proof to disprove that after looking into Kristen's eyes and finding little else but a stone wall.
"Suit yourself, I'm just backing you up!" Double-checking to make sure her safety was off Kristen headed towards the Bean Grinder.

Snapping back into activity as the Aurora Destroyer lunged overhead, a'Lincoln swiftly willed its biomech to leap to the side, slipping out from beneath the blast as it glassed the sand. Sliding through the sand on all fours, the Faerie Knight didn't turn back as the Eldritchian crashed back into the ground behind it, the photosensitive sections along its back reading the creatures movements.
Tensing its muscles, the Faerie Knight crouched closer to the ground before sharply extending its limbs, sending it flying over the the panning blast of electricity from the Aurora Destroyer. Flipping through the air, the Faerie Knight reached an arm to its back to retrieve one of the electricity disrupting javelins.
Crashing back into the sand, the Faerie Knight planted its feet, as it prepared to launch the spear into the Eldritcian's side, even as the creature turned towards the Faerie Knight once more.

The eyes of Aurora Destroyer focusing onto the spear, one could almost mistake it as looking confused. Nonetheless, electricity begins to cackle from its maw, a bright beam readying to fire at the Faerie Knight.
Should Aurora Destroyer get hit before the beam goes off, she'll end up misfiring with it losing cohesion much faster. Though either way, Aurora Destroyer will flip out upon realizing her ability is being hampered should the spear land. That, and become outright hostile.
Upon entering the room, Ryan was busily reviewing his VARgauntlet's menu, muttering softly enough to imply it was unintentional. Melinda, however, was closely watching Lucus' reactions. Words already forming in her mind to reassure Lucus, she didn't pay attention to Jason speak. Nonetheless, she turned her eyes to look at the older male then Ryan and finally Lucus. Stretching her arms out, she slips her hands into her pockets before speaking up casually.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm at an aquarium with all of these tanks. Though in that case this is a pretty creepy aquarium with all the medical equipment around and occasional see-through tank. However this is a pretty normal set up for making artificial lifeforms, so I don't worry." Glancing towards the still busy Ryan, Melinda casually scratches the right cheek before speaking up "See the guy and the little girl accompanying him? He's Jason Roswell, which is convenient for us since he knows a lot more about the Gen Three Esper project."
Motioning with her hand towards Lucus to follow, she calls out with a "Hey" getting Lucus' attention. The half-covered man turning around, he briefly smiles before noticing Ryan in the distance. Frowning, he instead looks Lucus over. Hanna hiding behind her big brother, Jason shifts his positioning to say 'I'm in charge' before actually speaking with an annoyed tinge "I'm Jason Logan Roswell, fields of study being biology and psychology. You, however, are obviously here to learn something if Melinda brought you. Do make it quick though, I rather not deal with Ryan." With his words spoken, Jason's right hand goes up to touch his mask, his half exposed face becoming even more visibly annoyed as he looks over at Ryan.
Comfortably reclined in a chair next to a stock VESTA is a young lithe woman, eyes closed as she listens to an out-of-date CD player. Eyes opening disappointed, she lets out a sigh as she removes her headphones- Before staring at the new Armor having arrived. Her mouth splitting into a toothy smile, she leaps out from the chair and shouts excitedly "Nirvash!" before dashing towards the Armor. Stopping near it, her hands clench in excitement as she begins jumping up and down happily. "This is so cool! I wonder who pilots it, gosh they must love Eu-"
Flailing her arms as she gets telekinetically pulled back, she looks angrily at the black haired boy walking past her. Decked head to toe in equipment of some kind, the goggles on his forehead slide down to his eyes. Making a gentle "Hmm", he says rather calmly "Relax Shichi, the pilot isn't even inside. However this isn't a VESTA unit, so what brought it here is an AGI." Shichi seeming temporarily confused on how to respond, she quickly decides to look up at the Armor in awe. Being released from the boy's telekinetic hold, Shichi unties her jacket from her waist before putting it on over her tank top. Pointing at the Armor as if about to say something, after just a few seconds she turns to the boy saying.
"I have no idea what to say, help me out Kurt?" The eighteen year old himself sighing, he quickly looks over at the red & gold VESTA arriving. Contact list appearing on the inside of his goggles, he quickly opens up the page of Amanda Neil before messaging "Shichi needs help saying hello to someone, we're by the Nirvash looking Armor." Message sent, it doesn't take long for Amanda to quickly dash over to the two of them. Her eyes quickly going between Kurt and Shichi, she looks at the Armor before waving.
"Hey, Agaris, can you hear me!? My friend Shichi wants to talk to you about that Mech!" Shichi becoming visibly embarrassed, she quickly becomes annoyed instead as Kurt telekinetically pats her blonde head.
Things were going very normally for Ben Tyson. He woke up being offered pancakes by his roommate Tribbles, his teeth were unevenly cleaned because the AI for his toothbrush malfunctioned, and his car had run off again forcing him to wait for a hover bus. Work was going even better for him actually, with that weird girl Go not even there to pester him. Yes, things were going alright for this young man. Well, until a glob of his flesh randomly fell off into the coffee pot he was about to pour. Then everyone realized Oh crap that guy's going to explode, leaving poor Ben Tyson to be terrified all alone as his body continued to fall apart into melting chunks.
Tears having already begun streaming, Ben managed to regain a smidgen of composure upon seeing the two geared ladies approach. Trying to smile whilst slowing moving forward, he calls out trying to calm his panicking voice "C-can the two of you help me? I don't know why this is happening, but I'm not a Melty Bomb Fey Touched! I-I don't how much longer my body has, so please help me." As Ben approaches the two, the heat coming off his body begins to increase in temperature.
Even though the Skeletal Armor hid behind her sturdier ally, the mech couldn't handle the attack and was rendered immobile. The crab-like Armor, however, continued to stand strong which prompted Ashley to mention to Seth "They made effective use of Immovable Wall's pieces, so act accordingly." Ashley still keeping herself out of the battle, the crab-like Armor briefly looks towards her before settling their gaze on Seth once more. That's when the pilot sighs sadly, her tone becoming lined with sorrow even as she continues to take shots at Seth.
"Dear boy, what makes you believe in the idea of innocence? Most people aren't good because they want to be, they merely want to be rewarded... or they fear the punishment for evil too much to indulge the darkness within their heart. I've seen so much depravity, so much madness when one doesn't have to fear punishment from their authority. Yet I've also seen many who refuse to accept someone's actions just because it offends their idea of things. Thus, did it ever occur to you the angels don't want to kill?"
The crab-like Armor suddenly standing upright, its "skin" shifting with its right arm tearing off the Skeletal Armor's spike arm, the plating around its eyes folds backs to show a clearly organic monstrous face- Followed by the plating around its torso pulling back, revealing six fleshy wings posed as if they were ribs. Gradually looking more monstrously angelic, Ashley suddenly speaks up "Seth, Einmal was unaware of that thing's... real nature. However, they'll be quite pleased to know that the rumors of the Vitality Underground trying to make Artificial Eldritchians is true." Suddenly, a holographic image of words forces itself into Seth's cockpit.
The cybernetic false Eldritchian holding its shield arm up, the pilot behind it speaks softly "Let it be acknowledged dear child, that the unholy must be purged to protect everything. God loves everything, but he must also be cruel if there'll be anything at all. Thus heed my warning, insist on defending the Skyblazers and his angels will finally acknowledge humanity as unholy."
Gabriel groaning like one does when reluctant, he calls out "I'm not good at informing others during critical moments, so... Let the furry handle that." Kate yelling indignantly, she speaks clearly angry "Don't call me that without giving context! You'll get Victor to think weird things of me!" Kate angrily crossing her arms and trying to hide her face with them, Gabriel just simply says "Eh" before moving his VESTA closer to Flesh Weaver's house. With Gabriel going on ahead, Kate calls out to just Victor.
"I'll take point, it makes sense for me to anyways." Her own VESTA moving on as well, once the two of them stop their Armors at Flesh Weaver's front door they leave the machines. Gabriel waiting for the annoyed Kate to pass him, he casually follows her from behind. Looking up at the camera just above the door, Kate rings the old-fashioned press doorbell. Only a few seconds pass before a teenage girl's voice calls out ~"This is Rune, what do you guys want with my dad?"~
Gabriel coming into the view of the camera upon hearing the question, Rune goes "Oh!" before the front door audibly unlocks. The door swinging inward, standing just inside is a black short haired girl with gold rimmed red eyes. Black fang-like markings clearly displayed on her cheeks, her entire ensemble is mainly black with gold as a secondary color. Though crosses are emblazoned on her outfit, her cross necklace stands out more. Crossing her arms against her flat chest, she calls out nicely. "Dad's in the lab, so just follow me. Though try avoiding being too loud, the pet he's making me has sensitive hearing."
Flesh Weaver's home is deliberately "low tech" in appearance, though internally it's full of eccentricity of the "jarred fetuses, creepy skulls, adorable family photos" kind.

As soon as Kristen walked into the Bean Grinder she was met with a very nice, quaint coffee shop. She was also met with a melting human being. She hoped against hope that said human being was a Fey Touched - so, of course, she was immediately told that he wasn't a Fey Touched. And the heat in the room was rising, coinciding with the man approaching.
Kristen, in all truth, didn't have any idea how to react. Her face catapulted through multiple emotions before settling on a face of stone.
He said he wasn't a Melty Bomb so he knows the signs, and he's showing clear sign of being a Melty Bomb... increasing temperature, melting body, all leading to a scalding blast that doesn't tend to leave those caught by it alive...
Half a second before Kristen decided the best course of opportunity was to run, however, she immediately remembered one vital detail; Melty Bombs only go off if they choose to. He looks like a duck and he smells like a fuck. Fuck what he says, he's a duck.
"Okay, you're saying you're not a Fey Touched, but you know what? You're clearly recognizing the signs of being one, so let's just assume you are one for the time being. Now, listen carefully; you will be okay. The exploding thing? That's your decision. Sure, you might not be doing okay now, and it seems hard to believe that in a week you'll be fine and dandy, but you have to understand that you are still in control of the situation. Believing you aren't is only going to make it worse. So take a deep breath, alright?"

Yeeeeah! Uh-huh! Wiz Khalifa Knows What It Is!
When those words came up on his HUD, Seth was momentarily freaked out that his opponents had managed to get in. He put his arm up in front of his face in a vain attempt to hide from the title displayed. Even M.O.L.L.Y. shouted like she'd just been hit out of nowhere. Once they were gone, both pilot and AI had to take a moment to recuperate.
Hey Seth? M.O.L.L.Y, said once she'd finally recovered. She once again projected herself into the action, roughly where she was before. Seth, meanwhile, started lowering his arm.
"Yeah?"
Make those muckshits bleed for me, would'ya? He locked eyes with her projection.
"Anything for you, Moll. I've got a message for them, actually." As the projection faded, he cocked the hammers on the guns. This wasn't at all necessary to fire them, but the psychological effect of that clik-clik was more than worth putting them on there. He could feel the anger and shock in his mind turn to confidence. Mentally, he was in about the same place of serenity he had been when he started the gig last night. He was going to need that if he was going to take this thing down.
"You know what? You're right." His voice was eerily calm now, a far cry from the screaming musician's tone he'd had just a minute ago. "I don't want to kill you, but you aren't giving me much choice in the matter." Compared to smashing a church to rubble, this incident of blasphemy felt positively inconsequential.
Then, with a sudden start, Seth launched into action. M.O.L.L.Y. highlighted the Seraph's wings individually with green markers, and as he started circling the false angel, he fired off one rocket towards each wing. Not once did he turn his back or avert his gaze. This thing was going down, and going down as fast as Seth could get it to.
Just pretend I wrote something witty here, okay?
A diagnostic monitor normally used for a VESTA nearby flashes to life with Agaris' eye-like symbol as she takes control. "Indeed Amanda my presence is still here; I indeed have also noticed the excitement of your friend Shichi at correctly identifying one of Lucus' design inspirations. In addition to the correct assumption that the pilot is not currently present." Said in a informative monotone.
The tone becoming a friendly instead of a blank informative one. "I am Agaris the prototype AGI developed for this Armor and as a assistant by and for my pilot. Currently the Armor is mostly powered down with the exception of the sensors and the transmitter however that is more than sufficient to answer any questions you might have." On the screen a image of the Armor rotating around appears aside the eye icon. "In addition I note the boy, Kurts use of telekinesis when Shichi tried to approach, an unnecessary action if she had just planned to just examine however appreciated."
Lucus gives a curious thught at the disliking of Ryan, wanting to know more though he wont approach that subject just muse on it for a very brief second. "Yeah sure we can make this quick." He says with a light understanding tone. "If you wouldn't mind I was told I could find out more about current concepts for the third generation espers from you. How have things changed from the second generations for example? " He says with a smile and a curious tone looking at Jason, his eyes monumentally also flicking to look at the young girl but returning quickly.
Agaris' digital voice pipes up lightly from Lucus' phone. "You also mentioned Athena Greek goddess of wisdom as we entered the room. A interesting choice to be sure, part of the project or a personal matter? In the latter we wont request for you to speak about it." she says with a strangely distracted but curious tone.

A bell rang as Jander entered the Bean Grinder. The inside seemed pretty homey and cozy, ideal for any coffee shop. A smell wafted towards her, that of newly roasted coffee that she was unknowingly craving for at the moment. It would have been a pleasant afternoon if it wasn't for the man standing in front of them, dripping as if he was some kind of wax giving way to some invisible flame.
The room was getting hotter by the second and it was obviously the man's doing, though unvoluntarily. There should be enough time for us to get him back together... and enough time to get out of here, if anything goes wrong... Hopefully. Unfortunately, calming people down and defusing unstable bombs wasn't her strongest suit.
Kristen was trying to calm him down as Jander was thinking. Is he really not Fey Touched? One should know if some Eldritchian dropped on them, no? Although there were cases that people deny it so. They would of course find it hard to accept that everything in their life was about to change...
Giving the man time to breath and collect his thoughts, she followed up, "Do you remember everything that happened before this?" It would probably be best if he was thinking of anything other than blowing up.

As Aurora Destroyer charged its beam, Lunar Symphony charged forward once again with its own spear drawn, sinking it into the monster's flesh.
Predicting more chaotic movements as the Eldritchian ran out of power, it readied its shield, moving the left one into place and moving back again.
Azazel stood confused for a moment, but took the key and turned to face the hallway, breathing in, he stepped towards the back, in his walk, the blue hologram appeared on his shoulder again, "Great, secret histories." Azazel didn't answer, he was too focused.
Upon entry, Azazel turned to the left wall and skimmed it for the desk, walking over to it, he spotted the keyhole and hesitated, standing witht he key almost in place, "Just do it already." With that, Azazel pressed the key to the hole and turned.
To his surprise the wall rotated and in the room hidden from site stood a Nazi flag and several Nazi symbols, sashes, and other items. In a small display case located in the center of the room was an SS uniform, "Wha— What is all this."
As if on cue, a hologram of Scotty appeared on screen, "I'm sure you are curious as to what this room is, my pupil. It is the reason this martial art has survived so long, Nazi ancestry. After the war, several SS guards ran to Brazil to hide themselves away, there they learned the art of Brazilian Jujitsu, from which the martial art was passed down generation to generation, each person inheriting these possessions as a testament to how we came here. This house now belongs to you, as I am probably going to be gone soon, best wishes to you, Azazel."
With that, the hologram was gone and Azazel was left to stare at everything in the room, "How?" Even Aincrad remained silent to this subject, such things were not to be trifled with, but at the same time, Azazel wasn't a racist, nor was he ever going to be, he didn't even hate the Eldricthians. He was confused and terrified, he slid out of the room, locking it behind him. "What am I going to do? =" Azazel pondered in terror.

Vic chuckled a bit at the "furry" comment before heading in. He looked around inside of the house, and noted the numerous things in jars. I feel like I'm in a Lovecraft novel, he thought, gazing upon a jar of tentacles. "What kind of... pet would that be? Or do I not need to know right now?" he asked Rune, softly, but with a hint of good nature. He looked behind himself, partly out of paranoia, partly out of curiosity, and saw more of same — jars filled with things that are not normally in jars, oddly colorful potted flowers, vials full of... sickly, swirled green, and the occasional picture. He turned to Gabriel and asked, "I probably shouldn't be worried too much, right?"

The Aurora Destroyer's blast prematurely firing upon being pierced by Lunar Symphony, it turns around and tries to fire another electrical blast- Which also prematurely fires, the electricity splashing around its face. Standing still for several seconds, the Eldritchian suddenly lets loose a loud piercing roar, loud enough to make one cover their ears. The Aurora Destroyer snarling at Lunar Symphony, the Eldritchian breaks into a dash to tackle the Seelie.
Smiling either smugly or proudly, Jason's coat flutters a bit as he brings up his arms "You see, Psychic Mutation replaces the natural body, meaning we either make our Espers inhuman or try minimizing the required lost. Skyblazers were thus quite the boon, but their genome is quite confusing. Thus, the Third Generation Espers are both the result of better understanding the biology behind Skyblazer abilities and Psychic-Class Fey Touched. Therefore, they suffer from very little problems."
Bringing down his arms and frowning a bit, he continues "Well, that's the idea anyways. So far Hera is the only one, though the Esper in the tank behind me is meant to be another." Upon hearing Agaris pipe up however, Jason suddenly grabs the phone and intensely starts looking it over. Hanna slightly cowering at the sudden action, Melinda instead looks at Lucus with a bit of edge. Finally, Jason speaks up seriously "Melinda, did you or Ryan tell him about Athena on the way here?"
Simply shaking her head no, Jason goes "Hm" before looking Lucus in his eyes. His half exposed face turning into a small snarl, Jason speaks with barely masked anger "Boy, reading minds is very inappropriate. So be it you a Psychic or your digital friend attached to a Psych Device, you will not do that again if you like being outside of jail." Tossing the phone back to Lucus, Jason begins touching his half mask before straightening himself out. Hand still on his mask, Jason looks towards Hanna before speaking once more.
"Athena is the name of the second Third Generation Esper. Honestly I couldn't care less about religion, that's just our naming theme. Regarding how this could possibly be a personal matter, well... Isn't hoping for her success completely normal?" Jason's expression gradually softening, Ryan's voice suddenly calls out. "Lucus get away from that guy! He's a sickening monster and I don't want any of that rubbing off onto you." With Ryan standing next to Melinda, Jason once more looks angry.
Kurt laughing a bit, he speaks up "Let me inform you regarding Shichi then." The girl suddenly getting embarrassed and trying to curl up into a ball, Kurt begins talking almost musically. "She was born on an adrift space station, part of the third generation in fact. Left with out of date technology, they were immediately awed when brought to civilization a mere two years ago. She's yet to adjust, fangirling over every shiny thing she sees."
Shichi making a whining kind of noise, Amanda comforts the young woman with a reassuring hug. Kurt sighing a little, he rubs the back of his neck before speaking up. "So, you got yourself a robot body? Can't imagine it'll be terribly fun sitting in an immobile mech whilst waiting for your pilot. There's probably a spare suit droid around if you don't have one. Shichi would love to show you around, isn't that right?"
Shichi's eyes perking up, she glances from Kurt to the Wunderwaffen. Amanda letting go of the hug as Shichi stands up, the girl put her hands to her waist before smiling cheerfully. "Yeah! I can show you around the hanger if you want Agaris-chan!"
Visibly distraught, Ben shouts "No! I would know if I was infected! I was given a clean bill of health only five days ago, how could I have been infected by Melty Blood then!? Only CACHE could of possibly infected me, and I'm nobody important to them!" His body just getting worst, he turns his attention to Irelia. Trying to calm down, Ben starts talking even as he continues to fall apart.
"Things were perfectly normal for m-me. My roommate would of told me if he thought something was wrong. Work was actually going pretty good because Go Keller wasn't bothering me... I-I was about to pour some coffee when this started, and I knew something was wrong when I heard a plopping noise. But I swear to God, I know I'm not a Fey Touched. I-I can't use my hands, but I f-figured cooling my body might stop this. Please, help me, I'm not lying..."
The Seraph's pilot sighs, the rib-wings exploding surprisingly easy... Then she began to speak as the wings exploded pieces began reshaping into spears. "People fear death so much, believing it to be an end. Death is simply a change, and if I must die so God's will can be fulfilled than very well. However, I must confess something to a misled lamb such as you..." The fleshy spears resembling replicas of Schiedsrichter's own, they suddenly begin pursuing the Chariot of Fire even as the woman calmly speaks.
"The Altens you serve are monsters, manipulating humans like you. However, there is another, one that aids the Vitality Underground and even my group. Fight alongside us, and you shall be made an angel. If you condemn us as demons, however, then you will be returned to death so that God's will may be fulfilled. He forgives all lamb, so worry not your death. It is I and my comrades that drive destiny, so please don't struggle."
Though the Seraph Vessel doesn't look away from the Chariot of Fire, Ashley's face slightly twitches before calling Seth completely calm. "Slaughter this monster, such a blasphemer cannot be allowed to dirty the name of Einmal. Besides, CACHE will accept their murder if it means the destruction of an illegal Seelie."
Rune cheerfully swinging her arms, thus rather distinctly standing out in the nightmarish place, she looks back at Victor when he asked. Closing her eyes in thought without stopping, she replies nicely "The first of a brand new species, my dad has a lot of fun doing that. He bases them around a general theme, though he has a clearly detailed list of what he won't base a species around. Adaptation, for example, is what he says humanity represents. Pretty sure my pet species' theme is Sense."
Whistling the Pink Panther theme, Rune doesn't pay attention as Gabriel looks towards Victor. Peeling off his carapace covering the left of his face, Gabriel's expression is a wary one before speaking in an equally wary tone. "The Flesh Weaver is a bit... deviant. The fact he cheerfully made up an Eldritchsona for himself should say something. Honestly though, he seems like a nice enough guy to me."
With Kate silently taking in the surroundings, Rune suddenly stops at a dead end. Backing up a little, she suddenly slams her right shoulder into the wall, a secret door opening to reveal a descending stone stairwell. Rune casually dusting her right arm off, she speaks up "Dad's just down there, though is there anything I should tell him first? He tends to leave stuff lying around."

Bean Grinder
"Water!"
As soon as he said "I think cooling might help me" Kristen was off like a shot... towards the Bean Grinder's kitchen and sinks. What didn't matter was whether or not he thought he was Fey Touched; what mattered was calming him down so he wouldn't explode.
She immediately began searching for anything that looked like it'd be able to contain a fairly large quantity of water, then brought it to the kitchen sink and began filling it with the coldest water she could get from the tap.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

"Do you honestly think that idiot is convincing me of anything?" said Seth through his commlink as he abruptly slammed the Chariot's guns back into their holsters. "All she's doing is giving me more sins to confess next Sunday. Speaking of which, M.O.L.L.Y., mind distorting my voice a little next time I talk to this nutcase?"
Oh, is Mr. Indecision going to switch back to the scary loud music that kills people again? Even as she snarked at him, the top of his HUD now read VOICE TYPE: GOD REVERB.
"Hey, it's working so far." He stepped out of the spears' path, took a couple steps forward, and stretched out his arms. This was the cue for his speech to start going through the amps again.
"How dare you call the Lamb of God misled!" The filter on his voice suddenly made Seth sound far more intimidating. "You impudent fool! You put false idols before your Lord, you proclaim yourself an angel, yet when He sends his own Son to warn you of the ill of your ways, your pride blinds you to the truth!" He reached back and pulled out the guitars once again. "You speak so highly of judgement, mortal. Prepare to face your own!"
The moment the amps were fully extended, Seth began playing a heavy and grooving, but somehow melodic riff. He didn't sing or scream along this time, he just played it and let the sound waves do the work.
This time, he's playing the rhythm guitar part to the chorus of "Mikasa" by Veil of Maya.

Lunar Symphony locked both of its shields into place and held them in front of him, giving it enough strength to briefly take the monster's assault.
"You two, get it while it's distracted."
"All warfare is based on deception!"
The mecha adjusted its hover boosters so it would just slowly slide backwards rather than being easily pushed, trying to set up the eldritchian as an easy target for the others while it aimed at it.

"Go Keller?" Jander said instinctively then brushed it off. She had to focus on not blowing the man up - and the two of them with him.
Cool him? Jander was then struck by the absurd idea of bringing the refrigerator over and shoving the man inside. She cursed herself. Kristen had already ran towards the sink, container in hand. Filling it up by the faucet would be too slow. she stretched her hand towards the sink and closed her eyes, trying to better control her power. Clenching her fist, she heard the sound of glass breaking and the sound of beads of some sort clattering on the tiles. Trying again, her ears were met this time with a metallic clang as she knocked a couple of cans to the floor. She cursed again silently, if she had taught herself how to really use her power, she wouldn't be having this problem. One last time. This time, there was a loud clink and the sound of water gushing forth. Jander opened her eyes to see the faucet become a fountain, spurting out an endless stream of water.
Sorry about that... Jander felt herself weaken immediately afterwards, she knew what this could mean. Too much strain always lead to it. But she should be able to use it for a couple more times.

A whooshing sound can be heard as Ashen Phoenix comes rocketing down from the sky, disruptor spear pointed down at Aurora Destroyer. It lands on the Eldritchian's back, Galen using some of its boosters to keep the mech stabilized. After completing the blow with the spear, Ashen Phoenix also attempts to drive its sword into the creature.
Galen's voice can be heard over the comms.

As Kristen waited on the container to fill from the sink, there was a loud clinking noise, and the faucet ripped out of the sink and water began to spray everywhere.
"Thanks!" Wasting no time, Kristen immediately filled the container and returned to the main lobby, looking towards poor Ben.
"Good news! You've just been nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!" A devilish grin lit her face up as she raised the container above Ben's head. "And they aren't accepting donations."

Lucus taking back his phone and backing away from Jason with a bit of a hesitation. The rapid change in temperament catching him off-guard. Trying to give an appreciative smile looking at Ryan and Melinda with some discomfort. For once Agaris' completely silent, partially worried not for her own safety but Lucus'. "Well that was insightful atleast." Lucus says with a cheery but hesitant tone. "Is their anything else that you think it may be a good idea for me to see? Or I suppose it is almost time for lunch if not..." He says ending with his usual facade of carefree enthusiasm. Though giving a quick look back to Jason and the girl.
"A very fascinating history to be sure." Agaris states before Kurt brings up the idea of a robot body and Shichi's excitement filling the area. As this is done Agaris' scanning for a nearby droid that is not online and powers it up, skillfully moving behind Shichi in her excitement. "It can be boring but a nessesary thing to do. There is no harm in borrowing a unused droid however Shichi-chan." Agaris voice stops appearing on screen and echos from the droid.
"I would be happy to have a tour around, neither me nor my pilot have been to the Seed Esper base before." Suddenly changing to a more devilish joking tone "Shichi-chan I don't suppose Kurt has any, embarrassing stories that you know of."

Seeing the creature turn away from it, a'Lincoln lets the disruptor spear fall from the grip of the Faerie Knight before. By the time Galen slams down atop the creature from above, the biomech is charging forward, kicking up sand as it passes, the Faerie Knight pulling its arms back as it approaches the creatures back.
Snapping its arms forward as it reaches the Aurora Destroyers flank, a'Lincoln directs the arms of the biomech into the side of the creature before tightening its grip. Physically tearing into flesh and skin, it creates its own handholds before planting its biomech's feet into the ground. Its own synthetic muscles flexing, it forces the Eldritchian to halt its charge through sheer physical power.
As calmly as ever, a'Lincoln voices comes in over the comms, barely heard over the cacophony of the creature's screams "If at all possible, we need to attempt to subdue the beast. We should be cautious of inflicting overly severe wou-"
The bionoid is given some brief pause, as the Eldritchian contorts itself to bring its maw to bear against the Faerie Knight, the shifting of the creatures body leading towards a'Lincoln's mecha dragging its heels through the sand. While it can't quite turn about enough to reach its teeth around the bionoid's mecha, a'Lincoln quietly takes in the sight of another electrical discharge forming in the Aurora Destroyer's maw.
In a vaguely resigned tone, a'Lincoln speaks again over the comms "Bracing."

The Prince of Foolish Relevations
The Aurora Destroyer shrieks with each attack, its body struggling to keep calm. Though even with its ability severely weakened, Aurora Destroyer is able to fire one last blast at the Faerie Knight before it begins thrashing about to become free.
Jason looking from Ryan to Lucus, he begins unlatching his mask as he speaks "Don't trust Ryan, for the moment he thinks something horrible of you..." Pulling off his half mask to show a horrifically burned face, Jason turns his skinless eye towards Lucus "He'll attack you because he doesn't know what else to do."
Jason putting his half mask back on calmly even as Ryan snarls at the man, Jason speaks up calmly "We can discuss more about the Third Gen Espers at lunch. Johanna is probably getting hungry anyways." The little girl looking at her stomach with that statement, a look of embarrassment flashes onto her face. Melinda holding Ryan back, she speaks up.
"We can stop for lunch if you want Lucus, though other than Athena the other Third Gen Espers are just ideas currently."
Her own devilish grin forming, Kurt just looks at Shichi with an expression of confusion. Then she speaks up completely innocently "He just likes pretending to be an Esper, he's really just a human. However him and his mommy go on about how they wish his daddy could be here, but that's pretty silly. I mean, what kind of daddy isn't able to be with his family? So I always find it pretty funny when they lie to people about Daddy Jones."
Shichi looking towards Kurt as he looks away, Amanda looks towards Agaris before speaking "Sorry, Kurt'll need a few minutes. However if you go to the right you'll be able to meet Misty Selvina, her VESTA has a rhino-like theme to it." Amanda helping escort Kurt to a sitting area, Shichi just looks confused before turning her attention to Agaris. "I suppose we could meet with Misty first, she's apparently a voice modeler anyways."
Pulling back at the splash, Ben shakes himself off yet he seems to have gotten cooler. His body, however, begins to rise in temperature again. Looking at himself in despair, Ben drops to his knees. Hand going to his face to feel it loosening, he calls out despairing "Did anyone call CACHE about what's going on? Just being splashed with water isn't good enough... Can one of you help me over to the sink? My legs aren't working anymore..."
Seriousness and realism are two different things. Be absurd if you have to in-universe.
The woman suddenly began laughing, a demented laugh belonging to the despairing. The Seraph's shield arm held up with the spears flying back to morph into shields, the Seraph struggles against the sound waves as the pilot calls out a touch unhinged. "You, one of the damned, call me a fool? You dare view us angels as falsehoods? Why can't humans like you ever understand!? We are the truth, we are the only ones who know! Yet you dare to call us angels prideful!? Somedays I wonder... why God doesn't just... leave you all dead!"
With her shout beams are fired from the Seraph's eyes, all the while preparing to attack with the arm stolen from the Skeletal Armor. "I hate seeing fools like you! Just fade, fade into oblivion! That's what you're wishing for by demanding the death of the angels!"
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."

"Hey, Ben, there any phones around here? I've got one, could probably call CACHE and let 'em know what's up." Before she decided to try and help him move Kristen figured she could ask for phones. After all, informing CACHE of just what the hell was going on was a good move.
It also meant she didn't have to get melted human all over her. At least, not immediately.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Western Elysium Field
Ashen Phoenix is shaken by the thrashing- luckily though, its boosters were already active and it managed to make a safe landing. Not so luckily, its sword remains lodged in the Eldritchian... And it begins leaking flammable oil into it.
The Eldritchian seems unaffected by the oil, at least for another minute or so. After some time, the oil will light and start cooking Aurora Destroyer from the inside.
off the shits
Yeeeeah! Uh-huh! Wiz Khalifa Knows What It Is!
Seth held the last note of the riff as he dodged out of the beams' way. Instead of picking up where he left off, however, he just kept holding it as long as he could and started laughing to himself.
"I called myself Jesus and she didn't even notice!" he said, more to himself than to M.O.L.L.Y. or Ashley. It certainly seemed to amuse him the most out of the three of them. "How did she not notice that? Ah, what the hell..."
He changed riffs again, this time to an energetic and bouncy riff that Seth had clearly known how to play for some time. As he played, he made sure to keep moving around and keep his sound waves focused on the stolen arm. Avoiding whatever attack his opponent was about to throw at him would be key, but stopping it before it could even start would be even better.
This time, he's playing the main riff to "Sorry, You're Not a Winner" by Enter Shikari.

Just pretend I wrote something witty here, okay?
Lucus enters he production room with the others. Not saying much but observing as was Agaris' through his phone. Lucus looks around the white room from chamber to chamber with a feeling of disgust, though he was capable of hiding it. The room was nothing like what he expected but again, he had few expectations.
He curiously listens the exchange between Jason and Girl near one of the tanks from a distance. Not wanting to interrupt but not being particularly hidden compared to the white surroundings.
Into Lucus' headphones around his neck Agaris lecturing him about Athena. "Athena was an ancient Greek goddess known for her wisdom. Favored daughter of the greater god Zeus she was a prominent figure in their religion. I am unsure why someone would refer to a pre-born Esper as such however."
Lucus hearing that looks over at them quite the curious look and a sly smile, though waiting to be noticed instead of intervening. Meanwhile he looked around and examined the whole room; in his head working out the purpose of everything he was seeing.
Agaris still hooked up to the Wunderwaffen had piloted it with the weapons and shields disabled into the main hanger bay. Finding a spot near the door that wasn't clearly marked as used. Powering down the main system except the basic computer and locking the entry hatch. Agaris' was still communicating wirelessly with Lucus though she was simultaneously examining the hanger and any VESTA's here. Checking for any kind of activity from engineers and or pilots.
