Laura shrugged, but didn't immediately answer. Her first instinct was to fabricate a little white lie, but that would be boring, uninteresting. She was on a vacation, there really was no need to hide anything. Especially from Farron and his android assistant. She wasn't here on business after...

"Not a philosopher. Philosophers are the driest and most unfun people I've ever had the displeasure of knowing that wouldn't know relaxing or honest work if they decided to team up and beat a philosopher to pulp with a cucumber and a teaspoon! No, it's all just "Methinks that yethinks that I...

Recognition flashed in Laura's eyes at Farron's name, but that was it. "Laura Woodweaver, professional magician and a master of parlour tricks both grand and minor. A pleasure to meet another pair of ordinary nobodies." There was definite mirth in her eyes as she grinned at the two. "Ah but I...

"Well I certainly would hope so! It would be a rather crummy vacation if I wasn't free to choose what I do with my time." Laura huffed with amusement, giving Farron a sharp little grin as she eyed him over, evaluating him with expert eyes. He was completely at odds with his surroundings, lazing...

Sigrid continued to regulate her heavy breathing, continued to fail to get it under control as she continued to listen to the idols' performance, hanging to every word, every beat of the rhythm like her life, her sanity, was dependent on it. And in a way it was. From one atrocity to the other...

"Sentience is all that is required, the material from which it springs forth is not of concern." The giant tentacles constricting the new Melior Esse loosened, changing more to gentle cradling than the forceful hold they had had before. Almost like a monster cradling its newborn offspring...

"No no no no no no! You're approaching this the wrong way!" Laura complained, ears dropping even as her shoulders sagged in disappointment. Her hands paused their war, seemingly staring each other down for a moment before 'nodding' at one another, having come to a temporary agreement. With one...

With the pace Karen was sprinting at the bunker quickly disappeared behind her, leaving her with the same view both behind and ahead of her. Just how vast of an area was she in, for the same sight to be all around her for so long? But she was not alone. Easy to miss at first, occasionally there...

Karen's tonfas went through the phantom, dispersing it as the panicked, blind strikes disturbed the shadows forming her tormentor. Yet few seconds later it was back, once more staring at Karen. It's hissing, mocking laughter accompanied Karen's escape out of the bunker but it made no move to...

There was a single button for Karen to press, the elevator doors quietly closed themselves, separating Karen from the maze of misery. And up there, unheard, Viggen roared with laughter, finally free to express her enjoyment. The twisted joy mocked the Bioroid, declaring Ruina's victory over...

Viggen's eyes gleamed with dark amusement as the faint light hit them. "That is a common reaction to seeing the protective gear, it is nothing to be ashamed of." She nodded to herself. "It is a side effect of the energy we deal with that we can not get rid of." Nor would we. Viggen awkwardly...

"It would not do to have any accidents here. Even the slightest mishap might have...catastrophic consequences, at worst for the entire world." Laura explained with a shrug before silently leading Karen further inside DARC. They took several turns, each time Laura succinctly explaining where the...

With a quiet hum the elevator ascended, quickly coming to a stop as they didnt ascend nearly as many floors as they had descended. The doors opened, the speakers announcing their arrival with a soft ping. Yet after the ping died out, the only thing greeting the two women was eerie silence, the...

"Of course, I would expect no less." The humming of the elevator still continued for a long while before slowing down and coming to a stop, the collision sound reverberating in the elevator shaft with finality even as the blast doors in front of them slid open. "On our way to the heart we will...

A wistful smile rose unbidden to Laura as she almost lazily floated towards Kurogane. She had been but a child when the Circle's rule over Earth was overthrown, but she remembered the joyous celebration clearly, the air filled by laughter and the smell of an exquisite feast, the resulting child...

"Everything seems to be in order, follow me." Viggen turned around and began to walk inside, leading Karen to the warmth of the base. "Of course, we live to serve. What would you like to overview then aside from the 'heart' of our research? How expansive of a tour you shall receive is up to...

Her welcoming committee had already arrived. A silver haired woman all by her lonesome, the only soul in sight. A polite smile was plastered to her face and her hands were clasped together in front of her as she patiently waited for their guest to come to her. Her name was clear to see...

With a final rumble the land fell silent. Viggen ignored the Demon Golems headed her way, they were not an issue. Still on top of the warehouse Priscus Nox spun out of the Jiwens' projectiles' way, pulling the ever-important machine with her to ensure its safety. Easy to miss, the two spikes...

All joy and excitement poured out of Johan as Boucher's Raftclanz exploded. Such a disappointment the knight had been, he hadn't come even close to meeting his expectations. Fabularis straightened out of Air Christmas' side, gently moving the Raftclanz chunks to the side. Already the damage he...

Laura tensed the moment that alarm started beeping, especially once she checked where it was. It was either Lamalice or them, and she didn't think Lamalice would be capable of appearing inside a ship. The horned head of her Autowarlock turned to the side, unknowingly meeting eyes with her...
