[b]The Dojo's Entrance, 1:33 PM[/b]
"Woah...Ari, you...didn't tell me that the place was...well, this stylish! I mean, the walls and the design of the place are both ancient, yet-"
"Isaac."
"-fantastic in design, as if-"
"Isaac.."
"-the creators were truly-"
"[b]Isaac.[/b]"
[i]A sudden snap from Arianna silenced Isaac entirely, as he immediately shut his mouth and crossed his hands together nervously.[/i]
[i]It had only been an hour since the clones of the infamous Vileblood had met - so naturally, they weren't exactly too close, although Arianna still cared for her little brother. She sighed, looking upon him with her light blue pupils, as she brushed a piece of silver-blonde hair out of her eyes. Arianna was a tall young woman, at a height of six feet and three inches in total, while her body frame remained lean yet extremely athletic at the same time. She didn't necessarily have any muscle mass, but that couldn't be seen through the dark grey apparel that she bore, which resembled an armored dress in some fashion: a visor hid away her right eye, although it's glass was deactivated at the moment, for she saw no use for it. Her nodachi remained upon her back, while a loaded Beretta pistol was holstered to her waist alongside a 22" inch long shortsword and what appeared to be a 13" inch long blade, crafted from siderite and jagged in such a disorderly, yet proficient manner. [/i]
[i]Isaac, well...he wasn't too special, at least compared to his "sister" - at five feet and eleven inches tall, the teenager stood about four inches shorter than Arianna, while his body was just as lean and skinny, almost to a degree of frailty. A buttoned black shirt encased his body, while his right sleeve was rolled up to his forearm - his entire left arm was hidden away by a pitch black armpiece, carbon fiber strands making up most of the armor while ceramic plates covered his forearm, elbow and shoulder. His black pants were slightly rolled up to his ankles in a somewhat childish fashion, while a massive bag was slung over his shoulder: it looked like it took a lot of effort to carry it, so it had to have been filled with supplies, gear, perhaps even weaponry.[/i]
[i]Isaac himself wasn't handsome, although to those in his age group, he could certainly be considered cute in some sense (goddamnit, I called a dude cute) - his facial structure was angular yet smooth to the touch, a pearly white color accompanied by two light blue eyes - the same as Arianna's. His light silver-blonde hair was short and tidy, while his eyes flickered back to the Dojo as Arianna walked up to the entrance.[/i]
[i]Arianna:[/i]
"Alright...we'll have to get into this place soon. C'mon, kiddo."
[i]And just like that, Arianna knocked four times - awaiting someone to open the door for her.[/i]
((Open.))

"Hmm" A voice could be heard coming from above. An white wearing android sat peering over the top of the gate. It was unusual for one of her kind to have red eyes but it was almost fitting of her. She seemed caught off guard for a second before realizing they weren't who she thought they were. "If you wore a blind fold or a visor, YorHa wouldn't notice you weren't an android. Well at least until they inspect you. You look a lot like someone."
-
[i]The duo only looked up at the YorHa android in some amount of confusion, although...well, she could draw massive connections between both of them. The girl, whoever she was, was reminiscent of Unit 2B (or 2E, whichever). The boy looked like the Unit 9S - yet, they did not wear the apparel that the androids did, and thus did not recognize the soldier first-hand. Perhaps they were the duo from a different reality or something of the sort - no-one could truly know. [/i] [i]The female of the two spoke first, although the boy clearly wished to speak:[/i] "YorHa? And...well, I suppose that's a compliment..." [i]She muttered, pocketing her hands.[/i]
-
"Just and observation. It still surprises me how much we were made in the image of humans. Android 13B from the YorHa Bayonet squadron. Sent for recon" She looked down seeing the look on the younger ones face. While she was curious what he wanted she continued to maintain her strict appearance as she was trained to.
-
"YoRHa..."For the glory of mankind", [i]The boy muttered, looking up at the android and his supposed sister.[/i] "It's...a faction in an an alternate universe. Employed androids over a desecrated earth, against a robotic menace. Haven't heard from it for quite a bit though.."
-
"Correct. Though I can't really tell why they would station me in some place with no hostile machine life. Combat models don't typically do research" She sighed seeming a bit tired of doing work more suited for a scanner to do. The fact she was armed and the way she composed herself was deffinitely that of someone who fought over someone who sat back and observed. "Well, I guess I should ask why you are here."
-
"Well," [i]The young man continued, and certainly in a much more excited mood then he had been in beforehand. Perhaps it was due to the fact that he was face-to-face with a YoRHa android - one meant for combative purposes, too.[/i] "My sister, Arianna - she thought that I could grow as a student at the Dojo, and as such brought me here under my suggestions. It's truly a magnificent place, and.." "You're getting off-task, Isaac." [i]Arianna chuckled, as her brother shuffled about awkwardly.[/i] "Yeah, he thought he could become a full-fledged, trained fighter here."
-
"There does seem to be a large amount of skilled combatants in this place. It's probably what caught the commander's eye." It was pretty clear 13B was thinking over the various combat techniques that she saw in the training hall. Some of them were already cataloged into her programing but there were other tricks she wouldn't have thought of if she didn't see them for herself. "It's almost like learning to fight from scratch sometimes. Various combat styles, unusual weaponry, even abilities that must have come from the Grimoire books from before us androids"
-
"Over the years, there's been some rather famous - and infamous - combatants that have entered and left the Dojo. From mortals to gods, most people seeking to learn combat eventually end up here." [i]Arianna twirled her nodachi calmly, before continuing.[/i] "So this...YoRHa...what exactly is it? And well, who do [i]we[/i], of all people, look like?"
-
"Hmm, I'm not the best as describing things but I guess you can consider YorHa as a militarized android organization created by humans who have fled to the moon. B units like me are meant for battle. Bringing down enemy opposition. The one who was sent before me, he was a scanner type or S unit. They handle scout and recon along with hacking. There are the operators and defenders but they are primarily designated to the bunker itself. As for who you look like. Apart form the clothes you bare an uncanny resemblance to units 2B and 9S. Though if I remember they are stationed elsewhere. I almost thought they went AWOL when I saw you two"
-
"Oh." [i]Arianna nodded, while Isaac simply remained silent due to his intense interest in the whole concept of YoRHa, androids and the being who stood before them.[/i] "Well, that's just nice...anything else that I'd need to know? You guys don't seem like the most emotional type, to be...well, honest."
-
"It's... easier to focus when I'm not distracting myself with feelings."
-
"Imagine if we were all like that," [i]Isaac muttered, quickly receiving a stare from Arianna.[/i] "What?" "So you want everything to be emotionless? Without thought and without feelings; their only objective being to complete their given objective?" "...Ari, that's...not what I meant-" [i]Arianna merely sighed.[/i] "She deserves to express herself. I don't know if she can't either by her own wishes, or her command, but.."
-
Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 4/11/2017 2:29:55 PM13 slightly smirked. Watching them complain as to if she should or shouldn't show her emotions was it a bit amusing to watch. "Don't worry too much about it. By the way, I didn't ask where you two came from."
-
"Oh, well-" "We're from-" "Isaac. Shut up. We're from a place called Yharnam, really...although we're both cloned after an older woman, named Irina. She wanted kids to continue her lineage, so...yeah." [i]Arianna explained, while Isaac had that look on his face that suggested that he was about to pull something.[/i]
-
Future Quincy peered over the wall, yawning tiredly. "Yes? Who's down there? My sight has gitten worse over the years so everything is blurry without my glasses." He said, having forgotten his glasses were propped up on his forehead.
-
[i]A thin smile crossed Arianna's face as the young woman called out to Quincy, while Isaac remained as curious and confused as ever.[/i] "Quincy - it's me, Arianna - and my brother! By the way, er... Your glasses are on your forehead!"
-
He chuckled a tad, fixing them back onto his face. "Right, right. Ill get this door open soon." he said as he disappeared back over the wall, the gates opening slowly. "So, you have a, uh, brother?" he asks, this information surprising him.
-
[i]Arianna:[/i] "Yes, Irina decided to...er, have another clone. This time, to have a genderbent one, to "carry on the Elizia's legacy" or something." [i]The young man waved at Quincy, lifting up his bags.[/i] "Hello! I'm...well, Isaac. Ari's younger brother, whom she's already introduced...heh."
-
Q waved with his left hand, his arms corssed. He gave them a friendly smile, still holding the door open for them. "Well, come on, this door is heavy."
-
[i]Arianna and Isaac then entered, the latter being in front and clutching his bags tightly as Arianna continued to converse.[/i] "So Q," [i]She said.[/i] "What's been up since the...er, invasion? World-Eater got blown up, by the way...Orks blew it to pieces on a place called Avalon. Quite the firework show."
-
"I, uh, well after I fired this rocket launcher thingy evertjing went black for a week or somethin'. Woke up somewhere in one of the Dojo courtyards and I suppose everything's been fine ever since."
-
"Supposedly, it...went well. Haven't heard from Althreath, though there's some stuff with him-" "Actually, Althreath is extremely active at the moment," [i]Isaac interrupted, Arianna merely looking over at him.[/i] "What do [i]you[/i] know about him?" [i]The woman questioned, as her younger brother continued with a smirk.[/i] "The A.I is still working throughout the channels of the internet, network - everything, except on a smaller scale than beforehand. Something's happened to the point where even his robots aren't even loyal, he has everyone on his tail at the moment."
-
[spoiler]HE DOESN'T 'AV DA ORKS ON 'IS TAIL. HUMIE.[/spoiler]
-
Q raised an eyebrow, the information new to him. "Hmm..how do you know this?" he questions.
-
"You have any sort of technology on you? Phone, anything?" [i]Isaac questioned, turning towards Quincy. He seemed nice - but almost intense, as if this was a matter of life and death.[/i]
