BARITONES

[idolpro]

[you find yourself in this derelict village, with not a soul to be seen—but before you is this station wagon:



for all intents and purposes, this baby is a simple "honk, steer, pedal to go, brakes to stop" vehicle that anyone with opposable thumbs can drive. despite its age, it does have a handy GPS system that displays paths you can take, but fails to identify anything like landmarks or other worldly features. last but not least: its paint job is done in your unit's color!

The following can be found in the trunk/dashboard:
• Icepicks
• These 5 Bone Saws
• A surgical set
• A single miniature of 99 Bananas
• one large first aid kit containing nothing but bandages and bandaids]

... [ he moves closer and takes a seat in the snow. ] I could have taken an educated guess beforehand. Alright. [ he sets down the surgical and first aid kits, removing a scalpel and pair of surgical scissors. ]

This is going to hurt, but I ask that you don't move too much. I'm going to have to cut your hands free of this gate...

While I do not have your pain tolerance, I can endure enough of it. Just be quick about it.

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[ takes one of emet's hands in claw and uses the other to cut at the skin frozen to the gate. for some kind of monster he's deft with these kinds of instruments... almost like he knows how to use them. hm! he takes a hold of his second hand and repeats, dropping the items back into the kit to grab at the other one. ]

[ time to bandage them up! ]

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

[Well, he is pleasantly surprised.]

Considering your deftness with your phone, I was not expecting such care.

[It obviously hurts! He can't hid his face from that completely, but it seems not to bother him too much.]

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[586]

I can't admit to having used a cell phone before arriving in this place. [ this stuff... absolutely. ] Let's get back in the car. [ going to herd him back in its direction. ]

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

[He tucks his hands under his arm as he sits back in the car using more his elbow to pull it closed than anything.]

Experiments on yourself, correct?

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[586]

No. [ instead of climbing back into the car he rips out the back rest portion of the seat and throws it into the back. climbs in and heads through the gate. ]

Assistant to ones with your creator?

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[586]

Do you really want the answer?

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Not if it is going to bother you.

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[586]

[ a laugh. ] It doesn't bother me at all. I did learn a lot from Dr. Forester from watching him... and then men he sent at me in droves were often used for practice when I wasn't just killing and eaten them. I had to learn to be able to help myself and my creator.

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Now, I wonder. Do you think I will dislike you the more I find out about your situation?

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[586]

I never know how people are going to reaction. But the pursuit of knowledge is one that's paved with all sorts of nasty trials and errors, of which I am probably one. [ he laughs. ]

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

I cannot speak for others, as they are mostly short sighted anyway, but I will not fault you for your past. It seems you had little choice in the matter.

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[586]

It's not like it can be changed. I have just resigned myself to knowing that I will not be well liked. And those that do find it in themselves to enjoy my company... I consider them very special and dear to me. [ and you're one of those people for not judging him straight into the ground. ]

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Trust me. I understand all too well. Long have I studied man's history, wrought with prejudice, suffering, and feebleness. There are sparks of hope, compassion, of true understanding. However, they are not the norm.

Re: REACTION/DISCUSSION

[586]

I don't think most people realize the kinds of things that have happened to bring us to where we are today. [ shakes his head and turns on the heat for emet as he heads on. ] I... admit to being glad that at least one person that gets it is on the unit. It'll be nice to talk about it in detail sometime.
