[BBS/Action] Poetry and Cyborgs.

[redcinemareel]

Blue is the light breeze
That leads me down uncharted paths.

A light is ahead,
And my soles are no longer hindered.

My heart is no longer floating without direction.
You're my destination.

Who doesn't know who this is for? ♥

Hmm...I must be getting rusty! This poem is not my best, but the heart tells no tales. Oh dear. I'll simply have to make more!

In unrelated news, this may or may not be news to anyone about how advanced Esthar is, but their cyborg forces intrigues me. It would be fruitless to ask how they even came to be, but, really, who would volunteer to be one of those things?

I'm simply speculating, of course~! Does anyone have any thoughts?

-Grell ♥


[Sits in the library, reading a book of poetry. There are some intermittent hums and note taking. A nice little pile of books she has gone through are surrounding her.]

[Doki doki!]

Ah... thank you Kitten.

Cyborg forces?

gonna assume it's action~~

[redcinemareel]

[Looks up and grins]

I did promise you, didn't I?

[Pulls out a chair and pats the seat. Park it~!]

Yes. [Bookmarks her place] Shin and I were doing research.

yosh

[fierybluebird]

Mm. You did.

[Happy grin and comes to sit next to her.]

Interesting. That's the opposite of what I discovered, but do go on.

[redcinemareel]

Oh? What did you discover? [Curious kitten~]

[fierybluebird]

I got a little distracted trying to track down the source of phoenix downs. [Digs through his side backpack to pull out a folder duplicate of what he gave Shin.]

If I'd known I had to be on a lookout for Pacifista... [Shrugs.] You were saying?

[redcinemareel]

[Takes the folder and goes over it, very serious, which is strange for Grell. Speaks softly.]

Cyborgs. They aren't, or don't look, human. [Flips through the papers] Really, no one said ANYTHING about people not dying as of late, natural deaths excluded. It's not natural, and I'd rather not be out of a career.

Shin and I are only speculating, but we think the lack of bodies are due to those cyborgs.

[Looks up at him]

Paciwhatnow?

[fierybluebird]

Pacifista -- the world government's new weapon where I'm from. They turned one of their pet shichibukai slowly bit by bit into a robot and made clones of him. Is this all different people getting turned here??

Aw, ain't that sweet.

It's better than anything I could write.

...

Cyborgs?!

[redcinemareel]

Why are you taking up TWO comments in this post? One will suffice.

I'm so glad you liked it! And, yes, cyborgs.

[gyrocopter.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, I read fast and didn't catch that part. Cut me some slack. [Actually he was too lazy to read the rest and just got to what he felt was the important part. GO GOOSE.]

They're... on our side, right? Y'know, not gonna destroy shit maliciously? Just making sure.

[redcinemareel]

There's no rush, silly Goose. [Yes, she recognizes your number. LIKE SHE SAID SHE WOULD]

Is Esthar on our side? [Rhetorical and not rhetorical question.] I would believe that they must have some sort of leash on them, at the least.

[gyrocopter.livejournal.com]

[CREEPY...] It's just how I roll.

I'd better hope. I... eh. Ain't got good blood with robots. Let's just go on ahead and leave it at that.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Kinda creepy, isn't it? Reminds me of Robotnik. Makes you wonder if it's the same technique.

[redcinemareel]

My thoughts exactly. Although I think it's less creepy, and more of an annoyance.

...Robotnik?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Robotnik used to capture Mobius citizens and shove them in robotic cases against their will. The robots basically extracted all their power from the people inside, using them as a battery.

He didn't manage to pull off the same in the Special Zone, but he tried.

[redcinemareel]

From what I've read, they sound a bit different. I don't approve of either method.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

And I'm sure your disapproval has a great deal of significance. I'll make sure to write a letter.

[redcinemareel]

Put lots of stamps.

FINALLY HELLO.

[ Somehow he's not surprised to learn that the okama that Marco mentioned was the person that he'd been talking to about the technological advances between 1887 and 2009. But at least now he could probably identify her around the school.

So though he doesn't reply to the post, he keeps it in mind for later if he runs across her.

And what do you know. There's all that red he was told about in the library, and he almost snorts as he comes over and knocks on the top of the pile of books with a fist. ]

First you're asking about the internet and phones, now it's cyborgs? Skipping a few lessons there, brosis.

OH SNAP HEY!

[redcinemareel]

[Blinks at the knock and looks up. ASSESSING HIS FASHION...| Approved.]

Im a fast learner, and there is no rhythm to the process. Are you my new instructor~? [Grins, patting a seat next to her. Anyone who could enjoy red like her is more than okay in her books.] Got a name, sweetie?

Oh god I regret nothing. SWEETIE.

[oftime]

[ Sweet...ie...

He's been called stranger things before, so he maintains his cool composure and does a mock bow. ]

Dave Strider, at your service. [ With that out of the way, he moves and slips into the offered seat. He has a feeling that this is going to be pretty interesting, and a Strider never runs from a challenge. ]

And what about you, my fine pupil?

Does he prefer 'darling'? Or Honey? CUPCAKE??

[redcinemareel]

[GET USED TO IT]

Grell Sutcliff. A pleasure to meet you, Dave~. [Rumages through the books she has for her red notebook.] I'm very ready to learn!

He's from Texas. It's weird, but everything excepet 'cupcake' has probs been heard

[oftime]

[ He probably will be by the end of this meeting... At least he has an idea of who you are now, Grell. ]

Likewise. [ Yeah sure why not. There's a slight browquirk at the red notebook, but it's half hidden behind his shades and he's not really surprised. ] I'm very ready to teach, especially if you're a fast learner. Makes my job easier.

Got any questions in mind?

....LOL TEXAS.

[redcinemareel]

Oh, I said I'm a fast learner, not that I'd make things easier. [Smirks, already having a question in mind.]

Yes. What is brosis?
