[u]You are my sunshine[/u]
It started relaxing. A cool summers night with a light breeze as the amnisiac necromancer spent a sleepless night walking along seeing if she could remember anything of her past. Blanks, nothing but informationless images in her head followed by blank space everywhere in between. An old man's face, a ship, a gentle voice, it was all she could remember. We're the memories or simply nonsense? She couldn't tell.
As she proceeded she began to hear singing. Very distorted singing.
"You ArE my sUnShinE, mY onLy SunsHine You maKe Me HaPpy when skies are grey"
It was like listening to music disjointed by several different singers cutting in and out in a senseless manner. Soon, a man was seen running as fast as he possibly could away from the song.
"[u]W-wait![/u]"
Tibia chased along, confused. Her dress continually getting caught as she tried to sprint over to see what was happening. When she got there, she really wished she had not.
There was crunching, screaming, crimson liquid all over the place as a strange and grotesque monster with arms and legs seemingly everywhere on its hulking body stood eating the man alive. She watched, terrified as a new set of arms and legs grew on the thing. Finally, it looked over and finished the last verse of its twisted song.
"DOnt yOu DarE tAke my sUnshIne aWay"

[b][i]Leon had stumbled across the creature as well, as he looked at it, crossbow in hand. He looked at it, ready to fight if need be.[/i][/b]
-
The strange creature stared at her for a few seconds before it started talking in a broken voice. "Do you... MemoRiEs hAve? Have KnOws?" She stammered looking terrified as she slowly tried to back away. "[u]I-I umm.... I don't h-have memories. U-ummm[/u]" The mass of flesh and limbs let out a frustrated growl and attempted to make a grab at her. A coffin shot up from the ground in her stead startling the monstrosity before further angering it. "I WANT KNOWS! MEMORIES! THEM NOW! GIVE ME.... GIVE ME GIVEMEGIVEMEGIVEMEEEEE" It's tantrum almost seemed childish as it began wildly thrashing. It suddenly bolted towards Leon in a state of hysterical rage.
-
[b][i]Leon put his hand up, as several bolts of lightning crashed down in front of him, the lightning and thunder loud and bring, enough to deter and scare off many things, as dodged to the side of the creature[/i][/b]
-
The hulk of flesh stopped in front to the lightning seeming a bit startled before seeing the man had dodged out of the way. To say it was displeased with the sudden loud noise would without a doubt, be an understatement. It cranked its arm back while the many others attached clenched into fists and it swung its fist at Leon yelling in incoherent tones. Tibia finnaly gathered up the courage to help and took a swing at its arm with her scythe and while it's wound bled, it seemed to have no reaction to what should have brought it at least some pain from the gash the attack left. It was as if it couldn't feel it's own injuries as it continued with its punch.
-
[b][i]Leon dodged back to avoid it, before firing a crossbow bolt into it, followed by two more aimed at its eye[/i][/b]
-
"No sEe! No See! AhhHhhHh" The gigantic thing began to panic and ran off, knocking down trees in its path. There was what looked like a phone left on the ground ringing. It was unsure if it fell off the monster or perhaps the victim. It bounced around on the ground vibrating.
-
[i][b]Lyon walked over to the phone, answering the ringing phone.[/b][/i] "Hola muchacho."
-
"Hello this is an associate from Mantle Labs, I am Dr. Shwitz." The voice belonged to a woman with a very thick German accent. She had a very professional tone to her voice. "I believe you ran across one of our AS-7 series? The large one with many limbs? We are very sorry for any trouble it may have caused but this also gives opportunity yes? We specialize in contracting military hardware. Is this interest to you?"
-
"To be quite honest it wasn't too much trouble. The thing has the courage of chicken, and about the intelligence of one too, no offence." [b][i]He said[/i][/b] "And if that's what your offering, I'd rather not have genetic -blam!- ups wandering with me thank you very much."
-
"Hmm, perhaps they do need more reconditioning. Thank you for your information." Her tone of voice seemed to suggest she was looking at this situation as a test on her creation. "Ah no matter it will heal itself from whatever you did to it. Was creature too big for your liking? No is ugly creature right? As for smartness ahhh... can't be helped. Too smart and we will have another containment breach like AM-4"
-
"Could try shock collars. What they did for dogs when I was in service. Either that or maybe chemical darts to use as targeting. Tag the enemies with something it really hates, make Em go ballistic on them?"
-
"It wouldn't feel the shock but a stronger encouragement to follow through with chemicals sounds plausible." Before anything else could be said she hung up without so much as a bye. A bit of an awkward way to end a conversation over a strange genetically engineered creature. Tibia seemed confused and somewhat shook up from the confrontation. "[u]U-umm... What was that thing?[/u]" She stared at the phone, wondering if it gave any answers to what the monstrosity that ate a person was.
-
"Some sort of genetic -blam!- up. See, this is why incest is a bad thing." [b][i]He says jokingly, slinging his crossbow on his back.[/i][/b] "Are you ok señorita?"
-
She dusted off a few splinters of wood from the coffin the creature smashed. She rolled up one sleeve on her clothes and pulled a small few small splinters out and then pulled up her other sleeve revealing a prosthetic metal arm that seemed fully articulate. She twirled the fingers on it and it seemed to move smoothly as any other hand. "I uhh think so. Thanks, ummm... sorry what's your name and umm do you know me?"
-
"Leon Rivas, a pleasure." [b][i]He says, bowing as he laughed a bit.[/i][/b] "and you would be?"
-
"I don't actually know" She said a little embarrassed looking to admit it. "But most people call me Tibia since I'm a necromancer. I guess it fits"
-
[b][i]He laughs a bit.[/i][/b] "Well I'm not gonna lie, that's quite fitting. I've yet to have someone call me sparky though because I use lightning.@
-
She laughed a little not looking as shook up from the encounter. "It might be a fun nickname. So umm, where do you come from. I mean if you don't mind me asking."
-
"Ah, my homeland." [b][i]He says, placing one foot on a rock, the other planted firmly on the ground, standing like a storyteller in movies.[/i][/b] "I come from a strange and exotic land. A land my people cal Mexico." [b][i]He says, obviously barely holding back a laugh[/i][/b]
-
Tibia couldn't help but start laughing at the whole scene. The overdoneness of his answer was just funny to her. "I think I'll have no problem remembering that. Mexico, home of Leon AKA 'Sparky' "
-
[b][i]He laughs along with her, smiling a bit.[/i][/b] "Hey, don't call me Sparky. I have no problems shocking a girl. Or well, not one as beautiful as yourself." [b][i]He says, a roguish grin appearing on his fave[/i][/b]
-
"Oh umm thanks..." Her face went a little red from being called beautiful. She just smiled awkwardly standing there not sure what to say.
-
"So, what possesssed you to wander out here and meet that thing?" [b][i]He says referring to the creature[/i][/b]
-
"I heard someone singing really strangely and then someone was running. By the time I got there it had the person in its mouth and then started looking at me. I didn't expect something that looked like that to be the thing singing"
-
"Glad to see I wasn't the only person curious about that singing. Well, least it's gone now."
