[Pretty open -- oddly open, for the renegade that Kankuro remembers. The puppeteer's mind is still ticking over possibilities and probabilities, but the one lesson he learned in the Facility holds strong: don't be the one to start hostilities. If the other guy is chill, stay chill yourself.

That green vest...]

Heh, I think if it were that, we'd have busted that by now. Not like you're the first ninja to make it here. [And one of the ninja to precede you is Kage-class, so don't even start on your magic eyes, bucko.]

Whatever it is, it's fucked up to hell.

Re: Colette Brunel | Tales of Symphonia

[lonewolfcub]

That was a rather spectacular fall. Kaoru briefly entertained the idea that Colette was some distant relation of Howard's -- but of course, if that were true, he doubted she'd be very remorseful about destroying personal property.

"...Are you all right?" At this point, it was more important to ascertain that she hadn't cut herself on one of the lamp shards. Concerns about whose lamp that had been could wait until afterward.

Samus Aran | Metroid Series [Post-Fusion]

[morphballistic]

A wary individual is skulking through the tower, dressed in orange and red armor with a heavy cannon replacing her right forearm. The armored suit bears a striking resemblance to one seen in the tower before, but is much more lithe - and looks much more organic than mechanical. There's an unsettling echo to her footsteps in the various empty passageways she finds, and her movements are those of someone jumpy - she turns to aim her blaster at every small sound she hears.

Which unfortunately includes whoever happens upon her. Thankfully, she knows to not shoot first.

[sageprincess]

Those footfalls are familiar to her - though it takes her a moment or two to recognize precisely where she's heard them before. Goddesses, it feels like it's been years, not months, and despite knowing better, despite a small voice in the back of her mind telling her Sky didn't remember, why should she, she seeks out the source of those footsteps with a sort of desperate eagerness.

She stops when she finds a blaster directed at her person, of course, but the awed smile on her face and the recognition in her eyes doesn't disappear.

"Samus!"

[morphballistic]

...well, that's certainly not a reaction she expected to see. Or a species she expected to see, either. There's a slight tilt of her head as she slowly lowers the blaster arm, trying to figure out how this person would know her. Even if her appearance had changed a great deal, she still resembled herself. Still, though...

"...I don't think we've met," comes an unsure tone from inside the helmet. Her voice is slightly modulated and muffled after being run through the suit - though Zelda can likely see the befuddled eyes behind the green visor. "Are you one of Kreatz's friends? Or relatives?"

[sageprincess]

...

And suddenly that once small voice is deafeningly loud. Something in her expression breaks, closes off, the excitement the girl had draining from her eyes. But she keeps her smile - ever formal, ever polite - at least for now.

"... No, I am not. My apologies, I... I must have made a mistake." There's still friendliness to her tone, but it's of a different sort - the kind one uses when addressing an acquaintance or colleague, rather than a closer friend. She bows her head slightly, "Forgive me."

[morphballistic]

On one hand, given the way this other woman was dressed, perhaps this place wasn't dangerous enough to run around in her suit. On the other hand, this was terribly awkward and it was easier to keep a degree of stoicness with that barrier between herself and this person.

Her scanner ticks on, and attempts to read several things at once while faint white-colored symbols dance about across her visor. They intend to discern what Zelda is, and what the significance is of the symbols on her outfit. The scans come back inconclusive, though.

"Well," Samus starts, then pauses. It's obvious that this person recognized her. "My name is Samus, so you made no mistake there," she finally adds.

[sageprincess]

The Princess remains absolutely still as she's scanned, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. Only the subtle flicking of her eyes gives away any attempt at making sense of those characters across the other's visor.

"Not a common name in my world, but perhaps others are different."

Yes, just... pretend this is someone different entirely, because she might as well be. She takes a breath slightly deeper than the situation superficially calls for, and offers politely, "Nevertheless, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. My name is Zelda."

No titles, no station, just... Zelda.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[So uh you see that giant ball of energy in the air, right above the sharks? And coming right for them?

Yeah.

That's a Megidolaon.

It's really too bad, sharks are such majestic creatures when they aren't trying to eat you!]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch hits the ground the moment he lands, only raising his head after the magical explosion was over. Pushing himself to his knees, then to his feet, he stares incredulously at the pink mist that used to be sharks, rapidly dissipating in the water.*

What...

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[Okay the sharks are gone, good.

And he snaps his phone shut like it's no big deal and runs over to where Enoch is.]

You okay?

[warriorscribe]

Ah...yes, thank you.

*What is it with those things and being ridiculously powerful? Lucifel had said they would be common, mundane devices in the future but that seems a bit much.*

...What was that?

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[To be completely fair, that is not a normal thing to find on a phone! Blame Saiduq.]

It's a spell...sorry, I didn't know how else to get rid of them.

[warriorscribe]

*He figures.*

I doubt that's something an ordinary phone can do...

*What an odd thing to say, right?*

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[It is, but instead of being confused about it, he just laughs.]

Yeah, that's definitely not a normal feature! Cool, huh?

[warriorscribe]

I...suppose. How did you...

*Why can he never encounter the mundane version of these things that supposedly exist in abundance?*

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[Oh boy, at this, he comes a little closer so he can show him the app and how it works, exactly.]

My friend made it! You've seen Saiduq around here, right?

[warriorscribe]

*...Okay. He's still covered in blood, but. He'll try to keep from getting any on Kaito's phone as he looks over at it.*

Saiduq? I don't think so.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[That's weird, he's pretty hard to miss...]

White fluffy hair, wears red and black, squints a lot...

[warriorscribe]

*...Oh.* ...Oh, yes, I've...encountered him. The other person with me called him "Al".

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[Yeah. That guy.

Is his friend.

.....Yeah.]

"Al Saiduq," yeah. He made this so people could defend themselves better from uh... [...How to explain about the Septentriones without mentioning that Saiduq was one of them...]

Threats.

[warriorscribe]

Not ordinary threats, I assume.

*Not bringing up the "unmake a goddess" thing just yet because he's kind of...confused here. What threat could be so great it warranted giving humans the ability to do that?*

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

...Hah, yeah. Let's just say that nothing conventional would even work.

[warriorscribe]

...What are they?

*If they're demons, why isn't God helping? That would be the one instance where it'd be warranted! And if they're not...well, what else is there?*

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, that's a little tough to answer because it takes a bit more to explain Septentriones than "they're from space i guess," and judging from how the young man is looking down at his phone, this is gonna be tough!]

Hmm...maybe it'd be better to show you? [Did he manage to catch a video of at least Dubhe on here or not?] Oh, umm...

[...Yes, he is just now noticing the blood spatters.]

You got some, uh... [His hand makes a vague "there's crap all over you" gesture, wow sorry he didn't notice sooner, dude!]
