-Aelia rolls her eyes at Crewe in return.-
Aelia: It's just a quick blood test. Unless you're telling me that you're afraid of a little needle?

-Crewe narrows her eyes and makes a growling sound in the back of her throat-
I'm not afraid of anything.
-she angrily sticks out one arm-
What's the point of this, exactly?
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!???, Titan's Lab
-Aelia pauses, and eyes the needle for a moment.-
Aelia: ...Nah, that pun's too obvious.
-She inserts the needle into Crewe's arm, drawing a small sample of blood before holding it up to the light to examine it.-
Aelia: The "point" of this is to gather data, so that I actually have a report to present to the Admins rather than just parading you around like a circus freak. As tempting as that last option sounds, I need to find a way to replicate your condition before I can guarantee that I'm in for a promotion, pest.

-Crewe snatches her arm back and raises an eyebrow-
You realize you haven't asked me how I'm able to transform, right?

-Aelia shrugs, then turns her back to Crewe again as she places the blood sample in storage.-
Aelia: Yes, I do realise that, and the reason I haven't asked is because I don't care. Well, that's not really true. I'd certainly be interested in finding out, but at the moment I know it has something to do with your pendant and that's all I really need to know. For now, it's the fact that you're the first ever Shadow human on record that makes you so interesting, pest.

-Crewe looks rather annoyed-
Hmph. Well, good, 'cause I have no freaking idea why I can transform. But have you considered that, y'know, maybe I'm the only one like this and you're wasting my time?

So, what's up?
Lillith: (waves good-bye to Darien as he walks off, only to hear someone else approaching, thinking to herself) Oh, for the love of Ho-Oh... Don't be who I think it is...
Susanna: Well, well. Look who we have here.
Lillith: (turns around with an annoyed look on her face) ... Hello there.
Susanna: (crosses arms) You have some nerve showing yourself here.
Lillith: ... I have just as much of a right to be here as-
Susanna: Oh, shut up! I saw you talking to Darien!

-Herbert sighs at Umbra again, whilst Bishop nods at Ammy.-
Herbert: Yup. It happened a while ago, in fact. Before we even got here. Hell, it was half the reason I came in the first place.
Bishop: <Indeed. She seemed nice enough, if somewhat forward.>
???, Titan's Lab
-Aelia looks over to see Crewe fiddling with the lab equipment.-
Aelia: Hey, cut that out!
-She pulls something out of the drawer, holsters it, then takes a step towards Crewe.-
Aelia: It's called the scientific method. Sure, there's the possibility that you might be entirely unique. But if that was the case, then I'd be perfectly happy to just put you down for termination and forget that this whole fiasco ever happened. So you'd better hope that you're not unique, pest, since that's the only reason I'm keeping you around.

-Manages to walk in the conversation but decides to hang back-

-Crewe ignores her for the most part, picking up a test tube and flicking it with a fingernail to make a sound. She tenses up as Aelia finishes, places the test tube on the counter and turns around, taking a few quick strides to get right up in Aelia's face. She narrows her eyes-
Are you threatening me, Master dearest? It's not wise to threaten someone stronger than you.
-she forms an Obscura claw around her hand and holds it up between her and Aelia, glaring at her through the spaces between the claws-
Let me make something clear. I'll cooperate with you as long as you give me the means to get stronger. But the second you become a threat, I will end you. Maybe some others will come in and put me down before I can get out, but you better believe I would get to you before that happens. Understand?
-she dispels the Obscura and walks away from Aelia, moving some smaller equipment aside and perching on a counter. She leans back and gives Aelia a pleasant look-
Now, are there any more tests, Master dearest?

-Herbert gives Umbra a rather pointed look, but says nothing. Bishop, meanwhile, simply blinks at Sickle.-
Bishop: <...Oh, hello again, Sickle. We were just talking about you, if that was not immediately obvious.>

-Aelia returns Crewe's glare, though she rather hastily takes a half-step back and puts her hand on her Pokeballs as the Obscura claw starts to form. Once Crewe withdraws, she starts glowering.-
Aelia: ...I think that will be all for now. Note to self: find some way to punish the pest. Establish that I'm the one in charge here. Allowing that kind of insolence to continue will only result in her growing more disobedient.

Lillith: (sighs) Guys, this is the Phenac Snob.
Susanna Phenac Snob: My name is Susanna! You know, the girl Darien named his Zangoose after? (smirks) That's right; because he loves me! (points to Lillith) Not you. (points to herself) But me! Can't you get that through your thick skull already!?
Lillith: ... We were just talking.
Phenac Snob Susanna: Oh, don't play innocent with me, you man-stealing bitch! I know you're after him, but I'm not going to let you have your way!
Lillith: (rolls eyes)
Susanna: You're not worthy of someone like Darien, so why don't you just go back to Pyrite Town where trash like you belongs!?
... I see why Lillith hates this girl.
