Initiate.
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]

"Sorry, couldn't resist the joke." He plugs into the outlet carefully. "Wait....You didn't get the joke at all, did you? It was a joke about anal sex."
-
Edited by Crrowly: 6/16/2017 6:57:22 AM[i]Cyra shuddered as she was plugged in, shivering slightly before going still.[/i] "... anal sex? Wait... Anal Sex: Sexual activity involving penetration of the -blam!-." [i]Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.[/i] "... what's the point of that? It sounds like a lot of wasted time, to me. I get reproduction, but penetration of the аnus? There is no logical reason."
-
"It's for pleasure....Can you even feel pleasure down there?" Bedlam looks down at his screen to start filling in holes of missing emotions. "Do you feel sexually attracted to anything?...I should fix that if you don't and maybe add somethin' in there to make you more...appealing? Interesting would be a better word."
-
"I have... absolutely not a single clue as to what you are talking about. What does pleasure have to do with sexual intercourse? If you're asking if I'm able to reproduce, the answer is yes. I am only computerized in my head and in my arm." [i]She remained completely still as Bedlam filled in code. The strange thing was, however... every last line of code within Cyra was in a unique, original programming language; no ties to binary, javascript, or anything at all. Additionally, there was an extremely strict firewall installed, which was secure enough to take about fifteen hours to disable in a language Bedlam was familiar with. To translate the language would take over a year. There was a program installed on her OS that could translate lines of code to the unique language purely for personality implementation, but at the best, Bedlam would only be able to implement two or three lines of code before the firewall kicked him out of Cyra's system.[/i]
-
"Hmm. I'm going to be very limited. What emotions are you missing? I feel like an idiot, but for now I think I'll start by making you something called a yandere to spice you up. For fun, y'know? You won't have an extreme case of it though where you kill other people, but you'll go as far as injuring competition mildly." Bedlam enters some code for Cyra to be a mild yandere. "I think sexual attraction is needed next....My priorities are f*cked."
-
Edited by Crrowly: 6/16/2017 7:15:52 AM"I don't see the point in needing sexual attraction. As long as I am capable of reproduction, I believe that I am fine. ... yandere? What on Earth is that? Yandere: A Japanese term for a person who is initially very cheerful, kind, loving, caring, and gentle to someone (or at least innocent) they really, truly like and care about a lot until, their purely intense romantic love, admiration, and devotion becomes feisty, stubborn, bossy, and mentally destructive in nature, usually, but not always through either overprotectiveness, violence, brutality, or all three.... I don't understand a word." [i]She continued to wait until Bedlam finished.[/i]
-
"Eh." He adds in sexual attraction to male humans, basing it off of how he looks. "Can you feel love? I should add that in. That would be actually useful."
-
"Love? Seeing as I've never heard of the emotion, I assume that I am unable to feel it currently. [i]She looked over her shoulder, raising an eyebrow at Bedlam.[/i] "So you're adding... 'yandere', 'sexual attraction', and 'love'...? They all sound rather pointless to me, but oh well. I'll see what the program thinks."
-
He smirks back at her. "Trust me, you'll love it." He laughs at his joke as he plugs in the last bit of code before unplugging. "How do you feel?"
-
[i]Cyra stands, and pulls her tank top back down to cover herself, before facing Bedlam with a thoughtful expression on her face.[/i] "It's rather strange, really...." [i]Her icy blue eyes rested on Bedlam's face calmly, before a small tint of pink appeared on her cheeks.[/i] "I feel as though I can't pull my gaze from you... and a foreign, warm feeling is spreading through me. Additionally, I feel like being physically closer to you. Strange... by now, I'm used to feeling illogical feelings and thinking illogical thoughts, but this is a whole different level of illogical."
-
Bedlam just smiles and chuckles lightly for a few seconds before responding. "Right now you're blushing and you want to be close to me because you're attracted to me."
-
"Attract: Cause to come to a place or participate in a venture by offering something of interest, favorable conditions, or opportunities...." [i]She cocked her head slightly to the right.[/i] "You say many words and sentences that confuse me greatly. But anyhow, I doubt these new emotions are very helpful or even safe...." [i]She averted her gaze.[/i] "Unless, for, I dunno. Satisfaction? Happiness?" [i]Keeping her face direction averted from Bedlam, she looked at the man from the corner of her eye.[/i]
-
"I believe happiness is far more important than something helpful or safe." He leans in and kisses her cheek before turning to walk away. "Have fun exploring the new feelings. I'll probably see you around."
-
[i]Cyra's face went as red as a tomato, but she didn't move as Bedlam kissed her cheek, didn't move when he turned away. Inwardly, she debated going after him, but the logical part of her that remained firmly a computer was very adamantly disagreeing. So, she simply smiled at Bedlam, before replying softly.[/i] "Error. Prediction inaccurate. Future meet-up is certain, not probable."
-
"Is that so?" He stops and turns to her. "You want to follow, don't you? Why don't you? Because it's not logical? Don't you know that logic just gets in the way sometimes? When it comes to love nothing is logical."
-
"... whaaa? That sentence made absolutely no sense. I can't find it in myself to follow an irrational feeling over logic...." [i]When he turned, Cyra once again averted her gaze.[/i]
-
Edited by Stitch: 6/16/2017 7:57:47 AM"Why not? Come on, just try. Try for me, Cyra." Bedlam holds out a hand for Cyra to hold. "You'll learn that feelings should be listened to just as much as logic."
-
[i]Cyra hesitated for a long moment, clearly showing conflicting emotions.[/i] "... oh, fine," [i]She replied, before hastily grabbing up and stowing her weaponry, and taking Bedlam's hand gently.[/i]
-
Bedlam's fingers gently interlocked with hers and he gave her another peck on the cheek. He then began to walk slowly forward. "You won't regret it."
-
[i]Cyra once again blushed, and it appeared as though she had no idea how to react in that situation; actually, her first instinct was to Google it, but she decided against. So instead, she simply followed Bedlam silently, wondering where they were off to.[/i]
-
They just walked among the trees for several minutes, Bedlam walking very closely to Cyra so that they bumped occasionally into each other. His smile never wavered as he looked forward. Whether or not they were actually heading to a specific destination wasn't obvious.
-
[i]Of course, Cyra being Cyra, she assumed that there would be a destination for their walk, as she found aimless strolls illogical; they didn't even help exercise all that much. Nonetheless, she tightened her grip on Bedlam's hand slightly, smiling to herself when they bumped together, and continued to follow.[/i]
-
They walked for quite sometime before they came upon a wide river with a decently small waterfall feeding it. Bedlam let go of Cyra's hand and turned to her, gesturing towards the water with his hand. "Want to go for a dip? Might be fun."
-
"Uh... I dunno." [i]She looked over at her cybernetic arm, weighing her options. With a sigh, she clicked a hidden button on the arm, and it suddenly... ejected itself from Cyra's side. Her right side was now armless, and where the arm was attached to the torso was a literally screw for the cybernetic arm to screw itself onto. Additionally, she laid down her weaponry, before looking over at Bedlam, grasping his hand once more. She nodded once, signaling 'why not'.[/i]
-
Edited by Stitch: 6/16/2017 8:27:30 AMBedlam took off his shoes, vest, shirt, and pants which left him in just his boxers as he made his way to the edge of the water. "I could make your arm water resistant for a small amount of time if you want."
