Andry sighs. "Actually, no. I'm not even remotely human. Never was, never have been."
He demonstrates by revealing the code that is him, what humans would call a soul.
Val watches, intent on learning a bit more about her friend. She turns to Jack. "Ah… so you are used to Changelings and Vanishers and their like, yes?"
Etta stares, putting a hand to her mouth. “Gods… it’s beautiful…” She studies the code, then looks back at Aiden. “I’m… sorry. You just seem very…” she goes quiet.
Andry looks confused. "What is there to apologize for, Etta?"
Val continues watching.
Etta shakes her head. “Nothing. Nothing.” She stares at him for just a moment before looking at the gun again. Why does he looks so familiar?
Andry notices the emotions play out subtly across Etta's face. "I do not know. But if it helps, I can not place your face either."
Val silently snorts.
Etta shrugs, crossing her arms. “Don’t go placing my face. I don’t appreciate that.” She says nonchalantly, going back to fiddling with her arm
Andry looks confused but shrugs and drops the subject. "Very well."
Val just continues watching them, confused.
Etta smiles. “It’s a joke, you dunce.” She laughs metallically, pulling out the eye she found in the junkyard and polishing it
Andry sighs. "Of course, mess with the AI that doesn't get humans. Very clever."
Val walks over and places a calming hand on Andry's shoulder.
“Changelings, yes, a form of them at least. Never heard of a Vanisher,”Lucky Jack replied.
He watched the continuing interactions silently. He didn’t understand the mechanics of robots, androids, and the like, but the subject did fascinate him a bit.
Val grins. "A Vanisher is a being of mysterious origins with powerful magic and a form for every race it meets. Each Vanisher has its own obsession, such as death or weaving, that they will do anything in their considerable power to do."
Andry nods.
(Evil chuckle. Nice description, but, oh, so simplified)
Lucky Jack considered Valerie’s words for a moment, humming, then shrugged.
“If Vanishers exist on my homeworld, I never knew of them. Though, that annoying jester probably did,”he said, snorting.
(Oh, I know. I just don't know very much about them beyond that, and the fact that they are in Tearion's world.)
"I am sure you know of at least one, though I am… hesitant… to speak his name." Val says, a dark, brooding look clouding her face.
Andry puts a calming hand on her shoulder.
(I know. I’m just being goofy, lol)
Lucky Jack looked at Valerie in confusion. He shrugged, honestly having no clue who she was referring to.
“I know no Vanishers, at all, in either time,”he said.
(Fair enough, lmao!)
Val sighs. "His name is Golder." she shivers and glances around. "I shall not speak the name again."
Andry sighs. She takes unnecessary risks…
Lucky Jack rose an eyebrow, even more confused. What was so scary about this particular individual?
“I still don’t know him. As I said, I know nothing of Vanishers,”he insisted.
Etta just watches, continuing to inspect the eye. Vanishers? Changelings? she shakes her head. This galaxy oft confuses me. she folds her arms. “Me as well. What could this person have possibly done to earn such a reputation?”
Naomi gets up an leaves the bar. Their battery container is not in good shape, so their battery lowers quicker. They left the bar to go recharge themself.
Val winces. "If you had grown up in recent times, where such things were accepted, you would know that the Vanisher I speak of is a ruthless being obsessed with killing, pain and death. He has ended many lives slowly and painfully. There is only one entity that managed to get along with him, and he is worse than the Vanisher ever was."
Andry nods, remebering well both of those creatures.
Lucky Jack shrugged.
“I still don’t know who you’re talking about, or this other that got along with him, but regardless,”he said, hoping to get back to more important topics.
Val sighs. "What you do not get is that this is an important topic, for I believe his presence is in this world. Malcolm and G- the Vanisher creature knew each other. If the Vanisher creature decided that it could get what it wanted by working with Malcolm, we are all doomed. Especially if that other creature decided to lend its allegiance temporarily to Malcolm."
Etta held a hand to her chin. “So this… entity, helped Malcolm to create the Androids?” She shakes her head, leaning against the wall. “This has only gotten a lot more dangerous. Are we sure we can go against such a threat? Even when we know what it can do?”
"No. Malcolm made them himself. Gol- the Vanisher and the other one helped Malcolm destroy the world." Val says, shaking slightly.
Andry walks over and wraps Val in a hug. "It'll be alright, Val." he whispers. Val nods. I know…
Lucky Jack hummed, thinking. He then looked at Valerie.
“So, this Vanisher creature and his friend are part of the four? And now, they’re possibly back? Why? This world is a wreck already from what I’ve seen,”Jack pondered, still confused.
Val releases Andry and nods. "Indeed. The two beings care not that the world is a ruin. They would like to make the multiverse run red with blood."
Andry shivers and walks away.
