Our avatars are in a room together

Main Room

-108- Well, yeah. Nobody can tell you who you can or can't be. Putting aside how uh... discomforting a "handler" for a person sounds.

-Mimic- Well, is there anything saying you gotta model yourself entirely on uh, this Minami guy?

Outside

Ohhhh... that's too bad...

-Raises her hand cheerfully over Brie's chattering- I'm Makana, by the way~!

Oh geez, I'm losing you okay, I'll try to slow down because I know I talk a lot, and all that business. -breathes in, and breathes out-

I am a clone. Kinda... except I'm a blend of a few people that I've never met, so you know, I don't even know if I like the smell of blood.

Maybe one of them liked killing people? Who knows! I won't. Probably not ever.

-to Peter- Well, my programming. I can't really fulfil my functions if I don't well. Mimic.

Main Room (108)

-Oh, Aichi's met Xenos before! Multiple times!-

"...I have met Xenos."

-He... is even more frightening to Aichi now that he's figured out what fear is actually like.-

"...He told me to read a dictionary, and I am thankful."

-Because if he hadn't read the dictionary then he wouldn't have made it this far in terms of becoming human!-

-...? It is disconcerting that a human has a handler?-

"Come again?"

-...Peter, he actually seems confused now.-

"Do humans not have handlers?"

-His fellow agents have them... don't they? He's not sure though since he never got to interact with any of them...-

-Also keep in mind that this is a child, no older than eleven. This is an eleven year old with a handler.-

Main Room

-108- Kid... people have parents or— uncles or aunts or guardians... Handler sounds more like a babysitter, or some wack secret agent deal.

("Oh god no, don't tell me this kid lands in the latter...")

-Mimic- ...Definitely got me beat there. Definitely one exception to the "nobody can tell you who you can or can't be" rule. Um... well, if you're that set on it I guess Mimic will do in the end?

-Dips his head in acknowledgement and rests the tree against the ground, not thinking he's going to build any more for the moment-

I'm Rhoannon. Again, sorry if I scared you. I know I look fairly... intimidating to most humans.

-Slowly turns his head to Brie, already suspicious-

Are you well? You seem a bit agitated and uncomfortable.

~CrystalMemoria, ~Lilqueendaisy, ~Randomman5

Leos VS    -EX-   

(The smoke from that attack subsides... to reveal Leos's Gundam changed once again!)

Extreme Gundam EXA Face!

   What?!   

Holy crap, Sthesia did it!

   No... That's impossible! You shouldn't be able to utilise all three at once!   

That's where you're wrong, -EX-. Humanity's strength lies in its ability to adapt, to move forward. You just think we've reached a dead end.

   You'll never surpass me! Do you know what lengths I have achieved, to accomplish my mandate? I am the one that will guide humanity to a better future! Would you deny that humanity would be able to move forward without my guidance!?   

Actually, yes.

   You little— (He jumps up into the air, with Leos jumping up after him. They both soar into the sky.)   

Well, I'll be damned...

Yeah, kick his ass, Alloy!

I can't believe that actually worked...

Edited by G2BattleConvoy on Oct 22nd 2018 at 11:08:50 AM

No, that's just my natural state of being! Constantly agitated. Like a particle, or a caged zoo animal.

Or someone that doesn't understand anything, and think that acting confident will get them the answers instead of admitting to the problem!

Oh, my name's Brie!

-nods to Peter- Yes, I believe Mimic will suffice as it is the conclusion I always reach.

But what's your name?

-to 108- Ah, that is good information. I don't really have information on you though, Aichi... I was only given stuff relevant to my purpose.

Main Room (108)

-Oh, he knows what parents are. Leos and Sthesia helped explain that one to him.-

"Humans do not have handlers, and instead have parents, uncles, aunts, or guardians. Understood."

-...And as for the secret agent thing... Aichi seems to hesitate before saying:-

"...I was created to be an agent."

-He wants more out of his life now though. He wants to be human. Not just an agent— or no, a tool. He's more than that.-

-...This kid is seriously a agent?!-

-He then looks over to Mimic.-

-It was good information?-

"I am glad I could give you good information."

-Although...-

"I did not expect you to have information on me."

—

Team J-X VS. -EX- (Aichi)

-Aichi simply watches as all of this happens, and can't help but feel a surge of confidence from the newfound power of the Extreme Gundam.-

<The power of all three Faces, united into one...>

-This is it.-

-Leos is going to end this!-

<Let's go, Leos!>

-It's time to end this!-

—

Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)

-Aichi naturally quotes the things Leos says, as he has been.-

"...That Face... it must take a lot of energy to use..."

...If you say so. It doesn't seem right to me, but I'm not familiar with humans.

-Nods again after he hears her name- Rhoannon.

Main Room

("...Guess even copybots can forget things quick.")

I'm Peter.

-108- Well, even grandparents, great uncles and aunts, older brothers or sisters—

-Double takes-

...Geez. Well ah... ahem. How's... how's that working.. out for you...?

Outside

-Points at Brie- Oh I got that second part! Is that what you've been trying to say?

-Rho- It's okay! You told me you were nice afterwards and that's all I needed~!

-Wide, innocent smile-

I'm not really familiar with humans either! But what can you do...

-to Makana- Well, I've been saying a lot of things, so you know, maybe! I don't even know what you're referring to!

-to Peter- It's a pleasure to meet you then, Peter!

I must say that I'm a little curious that you believed my belt was the main component of my hardware though.

-to 108- Well, I suppose I would have had information on you if you were in any way related to my task.

I appreciate that. I am... not used to people trusting me at my word most of the time.

-Brie- You talk to them, get to know them. Or don't, if you don't care.

Main Room (108)

-...-

"...I am uncertain of whether I want to return to my superiors."

-The idea of termination... The fact that they might be unhappy with him for being gone for so long... The idea of never seeing his 'brother' and 'sister' again...-

-...He wants to learn more from the people here... He wants to become more human, to be like everyone else here...-

"I have learned many things here, and I want to learn more. If I were to return to my superiors, I would not be allowed this freedom."

-...He had no idea just how little he was allowed to experience before he appeared here...-

-But... at the same time...-

"...I follow their orders. I am not sure if I can leave them."

-Aichi still feels as though he belongs back with his superiors. Everything he knows is back at the facility. He was created to be a recon agent, and he feels as though he can't just leave...-

-Not to mention that his handler was actually a halfway decent guy to the kid.-

-He still feels duty-bound to them, even if he has chosen to keep the data he has received here a secret from them.-

-...And... he does want to see Kai again someday... Even if that meeting had only been for a few minutes, it left an impression on the boy. Even back then it affected him...-

-...-

-...He's confused. Uncertain of how to feel about the whole thing.-

-Aichi then looks back to Mimic.-

"But I am not relevant, therefore you have no information on me."

-...This boy is extremely awkward with socialization...-

Outside

-Brie- Ohhh... You lost me again there...

-Rho- Grandpa always says action speaks louder than words. And you're not trying to stomp on anyone, so that's how I know for sure you're okay~!

Main Room

-Mimic- Oh, uh, well uh— It's just kinda sticking out y'know? I've seen... a few things built kinda like that.

-108- ...Hm... ("This kid took me a lot more serious than I expected...")

Well, remember. Nobody can tell you who you can't be, especially now that you've got a taste of it. At the end of the day, it's gonna be your choice to stick by with whatever you do.

-Tries offering him a warm, reassuring smile-

Eh, that doesn't give you generics, That gives you individuals.

-to Makana- Ohhhh, uh, lemme try talking more slowly!

I. Don't. Know. What. You. Were. Talking. About. Exclamation point!

-to 108- Yeah, if you want to put it bluntly that's the case.

If you were Jean's boyfriend though, I'm sure my programming would consider you a valuable hostage target in order to get her to properly fight me.

But my personality that imitates Minami Tomomi, doesn't allow for hostage tactics.

-to Peter- Then you are a wielder of a Driver?

Edited by RegularDefender on Oct 22nd 2018 at 11:43:17 AM

(Sthesia nods) It's not just that, though. The EXA Face is, well, experimental. Overusing it might actually be harmful to Leos, but hopefully it won't get to that.

Leos VS    -EX-   

(The two Gundams, AXE and EXA, exchange blows and beam fire between each other, trying to shoot their counterpart down.)

   (AXE's Tachyon Blade clashes with EXA's beam saber.) Why won't you just die?!   

Why are you so obsessed with Sthesia?!

(A kick.)

   Sthesia Awar is the one who helped me understand what it meant to be human, how humanity will always be caught up in war and conflict. I am doing this so that I can achieve her ideals of peace!   

By rewriting the timeline?!

   A necessity.   

(More orbs seek their way to Leos, who shoots them down with a combination of funnels and his combined Psycho Rifle.) Not how I see it!

Your grandfather is wise, then. You learn more by watching than you do by listening, at least in my experience.

-Brie- Specific instances of the same type give you the general elements, if your group's big enough. You just have to work backwards.

Main Room

-just kinda bugs out in surprise for a second◊, mostly at the driver bit but partially at the casual "i'd take you hostage" bit-

Oh! Oh no, no, no haha. That's kind of a stretch. I definitely know of someone who uses a dri— dri- you called it a driver? I was pretty curious what those belts were called this entire time! Eheheh...

Outside

-Brie- Oh no, not thaaat part, the everything else!

-Rho- Ehehee, grandpa says the same thing. Sometimes it comes with "acting is better than watching" but I guess it doesn't really work here.

Ooohhhhhhhh... Well I don't know what you'd want to know, Mah-kah-na~

Maybe the part about me being a clone...?

-to Rhoannon- That makes sense! It also sounds time-consuming! So I probably won't do it? I don't know!

Well, my belt here is called the 'Saga Driver' because it recreates the power of legends.

Main Room (108)

-Nobody can tell him who he can't be... and it's his choice to stick by with whatever he wants to do...?-

-Aichi smiles a little again.-

"I think I understand what you are saying. Thank you."

-He's not held down by his superiors right now. He can be who he wants to be.-

-And maybe... Maybe he'll finally figure out for certain whether he wants to return or not.-

-As for Mimic...-

-Aichi seems confused when the idea of being a boyfriend is mentioned.-

-He's read the definition, of course... but the definition doesn't really put it into perspective... especially for someone like Aichi.-

"A boyfriend?"

-As for the hostage tactic... Aichi's never dealt with the idea of a hostage situation.-

-He was taught about what it means and such, but he has never been forced into a situation that it was relevant.-

"I have never been involved in a hostage situation."

-...To take someone you care about hostage... Aichi thinks that would definitely make him sad.-

-...Then again he doesn't have a handle on sad yet, so he's not entirely sure.-

-If he were taken hostage...-

-...-

-...He would... experience fear again...-

"...I would feel fear."

-He seems... a tiny bit nervous, saying that?-

—

~G2BattleConvoy.

Sthesia's Room (Aichi) and (Misaki)

-Ah... That would definitely pose some problems...-

"Nothing's going to happen. Leos will make it out of this."

-Leos is going to win this fight, and that's all there is to it.-

-And Aichi quotes everything once more.-

—

Leos VS. -EX- (Aichi)

-So -EX- was obsessed with Sthesia this whole time...-

<That isn't what Sthesia would want!>

-...Not that -EX- can hear him, but still... Aichi is feeling impassioned.-

<She wouldn't want you to hurt people, to kill, or to... brainwash...>

-...-

<Sthesia's working towards a better future for your world, and you're twisting her desire into something wrong!>

-And Aichi will never forgive -EX- for anything he's done to hurt everyone!-

-Aichi still hates feeling hatred like that... but he can't take it anymore!-

-Makes a "hmm" noise, then turns around to look at the partially completed hut, going quiet for a few moments-

Honestly, I don't really know what I'm doing here. I've never had to build anything in my life.

Main Room

-108- I think a lot of people would be afraid of being taken hostage, so you're definitely human there... No problem, though.

-Mimic- Whoa. That sounds heavy. How's it work?

Outside

-Brie- What's a clone?

-Rho- You don't know how to build a house?

......................I don't either~! But I think I could help if you just wanna make shelter.

I wouldn't turn down help. But I'm not sure you'd be able to pick up the beams.

-There is a pile of torn out trees just kind of lying next to him-

-And big holes in the ground in the treeline from where he ripped them out-

Hmmm... maybe you should... build your self esteem?

-to Makana- Well... lets... see...! A clone is like... a copy of people! People have this thing called... 'DNA' which makes up your physical characteristics...! Like hair-colour... and skin!

What a clone is... is taking a copy of that DNA... and making a new person out of it! An identical copy!

But what my creators did... is they took the DNA of multiple people... and blended it together to create something entirely new...!

-to 108- Well that is the natural response for you guys.

And it's a good thing you haven't been in a hostage situation!

Shit's terrible.

Honestly, I may need to further analyse the information, but I'm given to believe that human relationships are a lot like hostage situations.

If meeting the girl called 'Kiko' has given me any insight on such matters.

-to Peter- I honestly have no idea, because I'm not Minami Tomomi. He was the inventor of the Saga Driver, not me...

Main Room (108)

-So feeling fear does make him more human...-

"...I do not like feeling fear."

-He's happy that it makes him more human, but... he never wants to be afraid. EVER again.-

-That one night freaked him out enough.-

-...Well yeah, no one wants to be afraid...-

-...Unless it involves like... horror movies or something.-

-As for Mimic...-

"Human relationships are like hostage situations?"

-AICHI NO-
