[b]Theodynn would laugh, looking at the men with amusement in his eyes. He’d take a large wad of cash from his pocket, and throw it on the ground. It was seemingly a wad of $100 bills.[/b]
“You see that? That’s eight-thousand dollars. That’s how much I get paid daily for my work. And you think some random girl’s cloak would fetch a price anywhere near what it would be to pay me off? I can see what heat you guys are packing, you’ve got some fancy shit. One or two pieces of your kit would fetch a better price than anything that cloak could be worth. Plus, I don’t know good buyers for it.”
[b]He grips his prism a little tighter, and it audibly shifted around, glass grinding against glass.[/b]
“Now, do either of your sides want to make me an actual offer, or are you just gonna sit there like dumbasses laughing at my armor?”

Silver chuckled and shook her head. "Magic took care of that, like I said we only had racism issues which of course...led to the genocide. We didn't react correctly to the threat at hand and we made it worse. The thing is, we didn't realize how imperfect we were until most of our race was already dead. We didn't realize how all of the things we once thought of as strengths turned to weakness the second we had to fight."
-
[b]Rian laughed out loud at this point, hitting herself in the knee.[/b] “Magic?! Are you seriously telling me you think magic exists?” [b]She then looks at Silver, and her face goes straight.[/b] “Oh... You’re serious... Sweetie... Hate to break it to you, but magic is just science that most people can’t explain. Miracles don’t exist. There’s always an explanation.”
-
Silver just laughed back. "For an android you assume a lot. There isn't a scientific explanation for everything, sorry. Maybe you'll see that one day, but I won't force you too."
-
“[i] I have created thesises as to why so-called mages can make people disappear out of thin air, never to be seen again. And they were accepted. Everything has an explanation. And there’s a difference between an explanation, and how it is made. Let’s take fire, for instance. Let’s say a mage makes fire in their hands. Well, all they’re doing is heating the oxygen in the air up until it combusts, using the particulates as fuel for the fire, and they create a gravitational well that pulls in material to keep it going. I do not know how they make it happen, but I do know the scientific processes behind it. You understand?[/i]”
-
"Yeah, but that's nothing new. All competent mages I've met know that. The magic isn't the part where you nake the particles move so fast they turn into fire, it's the step before."
-
“No, if you understand how something works it is no longer a miracle or a type of magic. It’s a science.”
-
"But you don't know how they got the energy. It's magic."
-
“But we understand how it works. The way it is created is a different thing altogether.”

Edited by Stitch: 1/6/2018 8:37:35 AM"Okay? I'm just saying magic does exist. You can't even come close to explaining my ability to teleport without talking about certain magical energies."
-
“[i] Easy. You rearrange your atoms using a combination of heat and pressure to convert it into different matter, while simultaneously reconstructing yourself in the same matter in a different location.[/i]”
-
"Nope." She shook her head. "That would kill me."
-
“No, no it would not. If you create an exact copy of yourself while rearranging the other you, you are still you and exist. You would not die.”
-
"No, that would mean you're in an entirely new body. You're a copy...not the real you."
-
“[i] And as an android that makes perfect sense and could totally happen.[/i]”
-
"Rian, you really should get out and see the beauty of the world." Silver sighed "Maybe I can make a deal with your owner somehow."
-
“[i]I literally cannot leave this ship, Silver. And I know he cares at least somewhat, or he would’ve sent me to the junker. I’m very outdated.[/i]”
-
"Why can't you leave?" She asked, getting up.
-
“[i]I was fused with this ship by my previous owner. Unless you know a master programmer, if I try to leave I will die.[/i]”
-
"We could get you one. It probably wouldn't be too hard, right?"
-
“[i]No, wouldn’t be hard at all. The problem would be getting enough money to hire them to help me out. And Theo won’t pay. He wants me to do his busywork.[/i]”
-
"Maybe I can help there then!" Silver hugged her. "I'll get ya out."
-
[b]Rian would freeze up, looking very scared for a second.[/b] “[i]If you do that too rough it will unplug those wires and I will die. Please be gentle.[/i]”
-
"I am, Rian." She let go. "Too bad you don't enjoy hugs."
-
“[i]I would if my life was not in danger every time someone hugged me. I appreciate the gesture.[/i]”
-
"Now I'm doing this so you can have a hug without worrying." She chuckled, joking.
