Cyra threw the ballpoint pen with perfect aim, her cybernetic arm not off course by even a millimeter. It whistled through the air along its preset course that Cyra had calculated, and as it flew, its speed began to... unnaturally increase. From a normal projectile's speed, it continued to accelerate until it broke the sound barrier, creating a loud 'boom' and finally tearing a hole in the trunk of a distant tree.
From the beginning of calculation, to the creation of the hole in the tree, less than a second had passed.
The augmented female stood solitarily in at the edge of a clearing, rather close to the dojo. The clearing was only maybe thirty yards in diameter. The tree in which Cyra had struck was located at the exact opposite side of the clearing, thirty yards away. It was about one AM, the full moon high in the sky, with not a single cloud to obscure the stars that glittered in the heavens.
Cyra was wearing her casual attire; a sleeveless, white tank top, black sweatpants, and plain, black slippers. Her straight, shoulder-length black hair was tied back in a neat ponytail, providing air to the entirety of her head. She had a fair skin complexion, neither pale nor tan, high cheekbones, and a well-rounded jaw. Her eyes were an icy blue, their pupils focused on the tree she had just struck.
Her right arm was, of course, her cybernetic one; black, made of titanium and tungsten alloys, and equal in length compared to her left arm. Her left arm was far more muscular than your average person's arm due to literal thousands upon thousands of hours logged into the gym. Her muscles didn't appear to be the extreme buff muscles of a weightlifter, but there was no doubt that she could lift, alright.
About two feet to her right were her weapons; a black railgun rifle, completely deactivated with its ammunition case beside it. At the side of the railgun were two black, tungsten handguns; these fired blasts of supercharged plasma instead of the depleted uranium rounds the railgun fired. Placed by the firearms was a short, curved, black sword, made of carbon fiber; it was only sixteen inches in length, however there was probably a reason why Cyra kept it despite its negligible length.
Ignoring any possible watchers, Cyra picked up another pen, repeated the process; another deafening boom when the pen broke the sound barrier, and the tree she had struck before fell down.
While Cyra knew the importance of rest, even if she didn't need sleep, it was one of[/i] those [i]nights; the ones where memories and other constant streams of information kept her computerized brain too active for Cyra to consider rest. But she wouldn't even be coming close to considering rest in the first place if it weren't for the personality program within her computer of a brain–otherwise, she functioned just as a computer. She considered her 'personality' to be a... wild care, one she would have liked to remove, however hasn't; for if she did, it would be disobeying one who had saved her life.[/i][spoiler]Open for fight or interaction, or programming a yandere personality–I mean what?[/spoiler]

[i]On one of his rare trips down the mountain from his Church, Fenrir walked the edge of the clearing. He'd originally headed out to gather some supplies to make improvements, but had stopped when he saw the woman launch the pen. His eyes wandered to the tree, observing the damage that she'd inflicted. At the sight, he felt a sudden bloodlust spring up within himself, a desire to test himself against this new warrior. Fighting hard, he suppressed the desire, but decided to watch still. White flecks of fire began to float off of his hands, yet he did not look to it at all, seemingly unaffected by the heat which began to emanate from him.[/i]

Edited by Cannon011: 6/28/2017 1:31:20 AM"Gah! What the heck ?" A figure stood up from behind the knocked over tree. "What was that for!?"
-
[i]Cyra squinted her eyes very slightly when she heard the voice, her eyes adjusting to make out the figure.[/i] "Oh. Sorry," [i]She called back, approaching slowly.[/i]
-
He appeared to be a kid around 19-20, brown hair, skiny, about 5'8". "It's fine, little warning next time?" He asked.
-
"Sure thing... although you [i]were[/i] hidden from eyesight, in the middle of a forest, in the middle of the night. Normally, I'd assume there'd be nobody out here at this time... but I guess that there are exceptions."
-
"That there are. Welp, no harm done save to this poor tree." He chuckled and looked over at her, and she could clearly see his eyes weren't normal. The irises were a dark brown, but his pupils were silver.
-
"Right." [i]Cyra had seen plenty of strange things... she was a strange thing, in fact. As such, she didn't even take note of the strange eyes. The woman turned away from the man, pulling another pen from her pocket, choosing another tree to fire upon.[/i]
-
He watched, smiling. "Why are you throwing those at the trees anyways?" His silvery eyes glinted in the moonlight.
-
"Can't sleep." [i]She replied simply, throwing the pen. And, once again, it broke the sound barrier, tearing a hole within the trunk of the tree.[/i]
-
"Ah." He nodded. "Good throw."
-
"Thanks. Anyhow... what might you be doing out here, so late at night? Did my throwing awaken you?"
-
"I don't sleep much. Just walking around the woods since it's a beautiful night, and heard the sonic boom."
-
"I see. What's your reason for being unable to sleep, then...? Mine is that my mind is far too restless. It's a literal computer."
-
"A computer? Well, that explains the glow then..." He commented. "I just don't physically require much sleep, haven't exhausted myslef in forever, so I haven't needed rest in forever."
-
"Oh. Wonderful. I'm able to sleep, however with the amount of exercising I do... I sleep to relax my muscles, because otherwise, I'd be in for some serious injuries. However, I don't exactly require sleep, either."
-
"Interesting. So, you say you're part computer? I could tell you were different, you have a certain... Glow surrounding you. It's kind of unique, prettu even." He didn't appear to be flirting, just stating his thought.
-
[i]Even if he was flirting, Cyra took no notice of the compliment; sure, she had the 'love' emotion recently programmed into her, however that didn't quite include flirting, compliments, et cetera.[/i] "Part computer is one way to put it. In addition to my cybernetic arm," [i]She lifted her prosthetic limb.[/i] "My brain has also been replaced by a computer."
-
"Interesting... May I ask why?"
-
"... good question." [i]She seemed to now want to direct the conversation elsewhere.[/i] "What about you?"
-
"What about me?" He cocked his head. "Or could you already tell I'm a weirdo?"
-
"Isn't everybody a weirdo in some way, around here?" [i]She snorts, only half joking.[/i]
-
He doubled over and laughed. "Yep, that about sums up the planet!"
-
[i]She waited for him to finish his laughing, before continuing.[/i] "I believe that you're avoiding the question."
-
"I'm technically a biological robot, programmed and built by some oddball alien a very long time ago." He shrugged.
-
"Ah, I see." [i]It seemed as though social interaction wasn't one of Cyra's strengths; she lapsed into silence.[/i]
