A relative lab.
*Hans sits at his desk, spectacles on his face, inspecting something that is securely fastened into place.* Another one... the secrets reveal themselves to me once again.
*Makoto walks up to the Lab door and knocks on it* Hello sir. Its me, Makoto. I came back to see how you were since your last experiment, and to see if you've gotten anything else to share.
*Hans presses a switch on his desk and the door slides open.* I'm doing much better, Makoto. It seems that the fatigue is only a temporary side effect of using the Mk. IIs. On the subject of my research... I've found yet another variant.
*Makoto smiles as she steps into the lab* Its good to hear that you're doing good sir. *She then looks at him curiously* Another variant? Well, if you don't mind sharing, would you care to explain this new variant?
*Hans loosens the vice on his workbench and retrieves from within it a glowing red crystal.* This is the new variant of Nexite, it's red, as you can see. It seems to have effects upon the forces of gravity themselves! The practical applications are endless!
*A rift of light appears a short ways outside the lab. After a moment, Gamma steps out, looking at something on his phone. He looks around and nods as the rift fades away* Alright, this looks like the place. Lab of what's his face. Hans, was it? *shrug* No matter. *Gamma turns back to the lab door and knocks before taking out a shard of ice to toss and catch*
My my, that stuff never gets old to look at. The light they emit is just so...rapturous, you know? [Hazama knocks the door open, and removes his hat with a bow.] Been a while, boss man? What sort of shit are you cooking up this time?
*Makoto looks at the red Nexite intrigued* It can effect gravity huh? That could be very useful in many ways. Whether in fights or just simple uses. It seems like a very useful variant of Nexite. I am curious to see it in action in how it effects gravity. Then with that, I may start thinking up some ways to use it in fights. *She ponders at what she could do with the Nexite*
*I Waltz on the scene looking curious* So...What am I looking at?
*Drinks whiskey and pulls out a deagle, shooting the roof for no apparent reason*
OOC: OH shoot this isn't caffine cave
*Hans takes a peek at his security cams and sees two strange men standing outside* We have company, one unknown, one former enemy combatant. I'll keep the door shut, for safety purposes.
It sure was nice of the girl there to leave her rift here open, otherwise I might've not been able to show up. *He leans on Makoto's shoulder.* Thankfully, I closed it behind me. Don't be so forgetful Ms. Honor Student.
Oh c'mon I'm just curious what's going on. *I take a slice of pizza and eat it out of a box I brought with me*
*Gamma sighs and shakes his head at Dante* You know, there's a very good chance he can't hear you in there. *shrug* Oh well, I'll just have to wait out here until something changes.
*Hands the pizza box to gamma offering some trying not to blast the door down*
*Gamma just looks at Dante for a moment, then leans against the nearby wall and sighs* Yeah, I'm not really hungry. Just don't break anything, alright? I don't need you making me look even worse.
*Hans looks at Hazama with a disappointed look in his eyes.* Did I not give you TWO Rift Devices?
That was the one time!
*Makoto looks at Hazama and sighs* Be happy I did leave it open, and I'll be sure to remember to close my future rifts. Glad I could be of service to someone who can open their own rifts. Unless you lost both of your rift devices.
That wasn't directed towards anything YOU'VE done..... Well, not yet anyways. *Gamma shrugs and looks into the camera* I've simply had my disagreements with the group before. So they're not too likely to let me in any time soon. *Gamma begins tossing his shard of ice into the air again, seeing how close he can get it to the camera without hitting anything* Oh well, I've got plenty of time to kill. Not going anywhere soon.
[Hazama shrugs at the man's accusation, and smiles.] Oh come on, I still have one of them. What can I say, I'm a generous guy! Besides, I've never been here. There's no way I could have come here on my own if I wanted to.
*Laharl strolls in the area, and notices the strange lab* Oi, what's this? *He notices Gamma and Agent-Indiana* Hey! *He turns at Gamma* You know anything about this? This door looks suspicious, especially with you lot gathered around it.
Be that as it may... you should at least look at some of the dimensional maps marking all F.O.Bs. *Hans pulls out a black tablet and hands it to Hazama* It would behoove you to study this when you get the chance...
Saeko wandered by, her daily travels bringing her to yet new portions of the Nexus. She stopped and looked around after hearing voices, and turned towards them. Deciding to investigate, she walked towards the source. "I would advise you quiet down a bit. Your voices seem to travel quite a distance..." She looks up to see the group, and a familiar face. "Oh, it is you, Mister Gamma, and..." She tilts her head at the two strangers near him.
*Hans peers at the security camera once more.* Two new arrivals. One female, One Male Child. *Hans turns the monitor towards his cohorts.* Do you recognize anyone here?
*Gamma breaths a sigh of frustration and mutters under his breath* this is getting ridiculous. *Gamma looks up at the others gathered around him, turning specifically to Laharl* Its the lab of some buff guy. He's got some info that might be good for me, so I'm waiting until someone walks in or out. Or of course he opens the door for me. That would work. *Gamma waves to Saeko as she walks over, then gestures to the two near him* The Delinquent's name is Dante, I've met him once before. He's reckless, but capable at least. As for the kid, name's Laharl. He makes Dante look cautious and well..... Meteors. Yeah, this place is weird.
[Hazama takes the tablet, and observes it closely. He looks up, looking at the monitor inquisitively.] Hm, well I recognize Lavvy, and I think I've at least seen the kid around. The others are new to me.
Demon Slayer Dante that is to you gamma
*Laharl ignores Gamma and shouts at the door* Excuse me!? Who are you calling a child!?
*Laharl ignores Gamma and shouts at the door* Excuse me!? Who are you calling a child!?
Saeko nods at the other two as Gamma introduces them. "I see... Mister Dante, Mister Laharl." Ignoring the kids tantrum, she turns back to Gamma. "Why are all of you gathered here? Is this place meaningful in some way?"
*Hans looks at the monitor and once more to Hazama.* Three unknowns. One seems to be yelling. I'd say prepare for a tactical retreat should it become necessary.
*Gamma shrugs and looks up at the camera* I came here to talk to the man who lives at the lab. Supposedly his name's Hans. As you may have noticed, I seem to have drawn a bit of a following, including yourself miss Saeko.
*Aitome is walking along the street when she spots the group crowded around a door, walking up to them and waving Um hello? What are you all doing here? Pinky? Ruler guy? Devil guy?
She crosses her arms and smiles at the new arrival. "Myself and others, I see." She brings her hand up to her chin. "So this building is a lab, hmm? Hans, you say?"
[Hazama nods, and glances at the door.] Well, thankfully none of them can get through that door. Of course, one of them is packing a rift device, but as long as he hasn't been here we should be fine.
*Makoto looks at the monitor with the group standing outside the lab. She then sees a familiar face* Oh, sir. I know that girl. I've met her a while back. Shes a nice girl, and she doesn't pose any threat to us, right now at least...But I can't tell you what to do. So letting her inside is up to you. She is a stranger to you afterall.
*Laharl calms down and speak through the door in a senseable manner* This is Overlord Laharl here. This lab looks suspicious. Just for the sake of the Nexus, I'd like to say what it is exactly you study. Can't have anyone making any nuclear bombs, after all.
*Hans puts his hand on his face in thought.* I won't open that door right now. I see too many unknowns and one former enemy. If you ask me it isn't safe.
*Gamma sighs and subtly, ever so subtly, smacks himself in the face, hard, utilizing the front side of his hand* Not you too Aitome. I just wanted to talk.... WHy must it be so hard? *Gamma casts Saeko a sideways glance* Hans is the name of the guy who runs the place. As far as I know he's working on Magitech, that is, a mixture of magic and technology. Looking for some advice on a side project of mine.
*Laharl yells at the group outside the door* And, you lot! Don't crowd the place! It looks hard enough to get in as is!
*Like to see
*Makoto nods* Understandable sir. With the others out there as well, it would be a bad decision in the end. Maybe another time I can introduce her to you.
Eh? I don't understand Pinky... if anything I'm wondering what your all doing here crowded around a door, it doesn't exactly look like a party... *Aitome then thinks about the name Pinky said, deep in thought as she attempts to connect the dots Ah! You mean Muscly Guy? He's in here? Oh! That's good, I need to apologize to him for that war, I should bury the hatchet.
*Hans stares at the screen once more* Another former combatant. Now there's no way I'm opening that door.
"Hmm. Magi... tech?" She thinks back to Kazuya's COMP for a moment, wondering if he is referring to something akin to that. "I have never had much of an understanding of technology even in my home... and magic is... Well, you are aware. Mixing the two seems like quite the confusing concept." Turning to Laharl, she sighs. "For such a young child, you seem quite rude to those around you."
*Laharl glares at Saeko* I'm trying to think of a way to insult your human qualities without coming off as some egotistical god.
*Hazama shrugs, and leans against the wall.* Putting the rabble out there aside, what're some ideas for this gravity-controlling Nexite that I'm sure you've cooked up?
*Gamma shrugs and tries to ignore most of the group* Technology is basically just the collection of everything we've learned and how to apply the junk. And while the rules of magic are often unclear, or bizarre, it still functions consistently. *Gamma smiles for a moment* After all, that's how the universe works. The only way it can. Might sound confusing, but its simple if you think about it. The only question is how to apply what you learn.
*Malloryn walks past everyone bunched outside the lab door, noise-cancelling earphones playing the song "Oh No!". As he glanced back at them, he looked at the building and saw it was a lab. Being the curious person she is, she paused her music and decided to look into it.* "What's all this commotion about? I hope all of you aren't trying to steal something from whatever science this lab has..." he asked the group outside, voice sounding deep and still feminine despite being only 16 years old. Ooc: If you aren't familiar with me, I switch gender pronouns. You should know why.
*Aitome then steps up to the door, knocking softly as she speaks aloud Um, hello? Muscly dude? You there? I know I'm not exactly the most friendliest face you've seen but I wanna make sure there is no ill will between us, I'm not exactly good at holding up a grude, hehe...
*Laharl facepalms*' Did. He. Not. Hear. Me. *Laharl pounds his fist on the door, making a knock motion. A shockwave emitting from his hand* This. Is. Your. OVERLORD! I don't care if you let any of these losers in, but I demand you let me in immediately!
*Hans has given up watching the monitor and looks at Hazama* I would simply demonstrate, but we have guests out there, so I either can only display one function or none at all.
I just wanted to take this wonderful chance to remind you that I hate you all. And right now that includes you too Miss Saeko. *Gamma sighs and shakes his head* Honestly, its like the world is designed to thwart my every effort
She nods at Gamma's explanation. "I... think I understand." She sighs as a new person enters, and Laharl screams continue. "No matter where I go, I cannot seem to find a place that remains silent."
*Hazama extends a hands to Hans, his ever-present grin widening.* By all means, go ahead.
*Laharl, clearly irritated, shows an oversensitive reaction to Gamma's comment.* Shut the hell up! No one cares about your personal problems! Just go fuck yourself or something, I don't care!
Ugh... Well I guess I can try again some other time, I'm not sure why you expected anything else to happen Pinky, there is almost never a peaceful moment here in the Nexus, at any rate ill see you around I suppose. *Aitome then pulls out her shortsword, a blue glow emitting from it as time and space seems to condense, slashing a hole straight into the fabric of space as Aitome steps into it and closes it behind her
*Hans sighs, defeated. He turns on a PA system outside the door. before he speaks into the microphone he talks to those in the room with him.* This message applies to you all, too. *Hans taps the mic checking for reception before speaking into it.* To all of my "visitors", I recommend you find and hold onto something sturdy! *The PA crackles as he turns it off.* I'll give them some time.
*Gamma sighs and summons his persona* Fastest way I know how. Anyone who wants to listen to his instructions just step on the ice, it'll freeze you in place. *shrug* Bit cold of course, but whatever honestly. Shiranui, Ice Age *A small sheet of ice spreads from the ground beneath Gamma , it goes a short distance, climbing on the legs of Gamma and anyone who chooses to remain there and freezing them to the ground for a while*
*Makoto looks over to the Brawny Man and Hazama* So you're testing it now? Oh jeez... *Makoto looks a little neevous but she goes to a nearby rail and holds on* Although I'm curious to see what happens, theres alot of stuff in here that will also be effected...
*The ice around Laharl just melts due to his intense body heat**
*Looking at Laharl with a dumbfounded expression, and also the shockwave, she just asked someone random about who this conceited child with apparently enough strength to do that to the poor door. Well, at least he knows no one here's a petty thief.* "Who's this kid, and also, why are you all here? You don't have to answer, I just need an explanation." Malloryn quietly asked Gamma who was lucky to be the random person she asked as she turned to Saeko. "Well, if this is how the place turned out, then you really shouldn't have came then. Is the only reason you came here was because they were loud?" she told Saeko in a blunt and honest tone.
She sighs in annoyance at those around her. "Quite the rude outburst, Mister Gamma. It is not as though I have done anything wrong since arriving. I doubt the man inside, this 'Hans' would want to open the door when such a vulgar child is beating down his door." As the PA blares it's message, Saeko seems a bit surprised. "Oh, is that him? Mister Hans?" Confused by the message, she carefully walks over and grabs part of a nearby bench, skeptically, but just in case.
*Hazama tosses a green chain into the air, and it clamps down on seemingly nothing. He tugs on the chain, showing it to not have much give, and gives a thumbs up.*
*Laharl mutters under his breath* ...I'm fucking wasting my time here... *He begins to fly into the air, flapping his demon wings*
"Something sturdy...wait what? You never told me anything about this! Je n'ai même pas envie de faire sortir Sir Moréchall...any of you feel like being my temporary bodyguard? If not, I could just leave..." she "pleaded". *Though Malloryn was ill-equipped as of now, the best she did was just get her pretty little pocket knife and her pretty little pistol our of her purse and put it in the pockets of her skirt. Because, her skirt can do that...*
They've had their time. *Hans crushes the red Nexite in his hand, as he does so gravity itself seems to stop acting on everyone. He opens his hand revealing that the once vibrant red crystal has turned a gray color and begins to float into the air.* I've taken some lengths to secure my personal possessions of course. *A hammer floats behind him as he says this.*
Ooc: *Out.
*Gamma continues leaning against the wall, eyes closed and frozen firmly in place* And its beginning to clear up some. Fantastic.... *Gamma looks up at the camera and sighs* Maybe I could get Ene to help. I mean, that camera probably connects to the door eventually. Well, assuming its an electronic lock. Should be fairly easy to open
*Mona pops through a rift, into the lab.* Hey, gu... *He begins to fall to the ceiling, hitting his head on the hammer and knocking himself (presumably) unconscious*
*Laharl flies close to the camera and speaks through the door again.* ...Thought you were gonna attack us, or something. You know, when you threaten someone it's pretty stupid to go back on your word.
Saeko turned, addressing the newcomer. "I will have you kno-" Her words and attention ripped away from Malloryn as gravity vanished, her other hand going to the bench and her grip tightening. In a fit of shock, she gazes around her, not sure what to make of the new situation. "W-WHAT IN THE WORLD?!"
"Well, I certainly can't leave now. Maintenant, je ne peux pas partir aussi facilement..." she mumbled, holding down her skirt with one hand and the other keeping her fairly long hair down. *Terrific! Now he can't get his self-defense without something going up. Might as well be the bair instead of the skirt then. He glares at Gamma for a moment as he's jealous he's not doing what would makes this infinitely easier for him.* "Hmm, what were you going to say? I don't bite if that's what you're wondering." he asked Saeko in a "kind" manner, though the sarcasm is hard to notice, it's still there.
Ooc: *Hair.
*Makoto's hair goes up a bit as she herself starts to rise off the ground. She quicly holds onto the rail pushing herself back down onto the floor* T-This is definitely a new experience. Hmmm... *She starts to think as she closes her eyes* I can't see how great this will be in battle now seeing how much it effects. We would have to use something to keep us grounded if we were to use it in a combative way. Other than that, this is rather interesting.
*Hans retrieves a red keystone from within his pocket.* Of course there is a use for within combat! What do you take me for... a hobbyist?
Saeko awkwardly stares flabbergasted at Malloryn's comments. "HOW CAN YOU REMAIN SO... CASUAL, DURING A MOMENT SUCH AS THIS?!"
*Makoto looks at the Brawmy man intrigued* So there is something for combat, would you mind sharing?
*Hans attaches his belt and slides the red keystone into it* Please, stand back.
*Hazama dangles midair, and laughs.* Wow, this is new! Alright boss man, color me impressed! What else do you have planned, hm?
*Hans flips the lever on his belt, and a slick suit of red armor appears before him, locking onto his body with a pulse of energy pounding out, returning gravity to normal.* I'd stand back.
*Makoto steps back and braces for whats to come* I'm ready.
Ooc: Sorry, was taking a shower, will post now. "Casual? I suppose my saying was taken out of context. Anyways, let's ignore that we're floating for a moment, what's your name? My name is Malloryn, though my real name is Morgaine, I prefer the former." she noted, reaching inside her first layer of her skirt where the pockets are. *She turns around to the door, internally worried about what will pass through as she attempts to get closer to overhear what might happen.*
Saeko's feet returns to the ground as gravity returns to normal, though she stumbles a bit as she gathers her bearings. "How can you just expect someone to ignore an incident like that." She whispers. She sighs, and raises her voice so Malloryn can hear. "Murakami. My name is... Saeko Murakami."
*Hans begins to levitate and activates the switch opening the door.* I'll see you all later or in the Rift! *Hans begins to fall forward out of the door accelerating at a rapid rate, soon out of sight.*
Ooc: I didn't read everything. Ignore the gravity part. ;-; "It's not advisable to shift volumes whenever you speak Saeko. As a matter of fact- *She then looks at Hans as he seemingly dissapears out of sight, seemingly out of slight annoyance as he interrupted her.* "Ok, now that everything is finished, I must be on my way. Bye now!" she walked back waving at Saeko and putting her msuic back on.
*Gamma sighs and watches Hans speed away* Well, that was a worthless waste of my time. Honestly, last time I follow anyone's suggestion..... Yeah, I'm just going to have to figure this out on my own. Oh well. *Gamma steps out of his ice and walks away, catching and tossing a shard as he goes*
[Hazama face palms, as he watches Hans slowly fade out of view.] Faaaaaaantastic. Welp, guess I'm outta here. [He slices a hole in the nearby wall, and zips through it.]
She held her head, heaving a heavy sigh, feeling a migraine coming, and began leaving the lab, now that the crowd was quickly dispersing. "I do not think I will ever understand these residents."
