Thread: Split Ends: Start-Up

"Yes, a pleasure. Then... Psy-S will join us soon, as well."

"Whoa!"

OOC: Who?

OOC: Psy-I. Since she doesn't have a face or hair, it was eeeeeeasy.

"That makes sense, I suppose."

Aramis waved at Lilith.

Something stepped out of one of the capsules.

She noticed Aramis wave at her and she flinched, ready to take off in a heartbeat. But she had calmed herself down to face them again. She slightly waved back and walked closer to them.

"Well, first of all, I just want to say that I'm sorry about earlier. The merging has made my actions different as well." Lilith shyly looked at them, hoping for forgiveness.
"Also, Sandy has chosen me to be her translator..."

Aramis' jaw dropped. "What the..?"

The strange creature timidly approached the group.

"Right then, that's settled, let's all hold a bit of a truce and be friends until somebody tries to kill someone else. Everyone haaappyyy?" Ozias asked.
"No," Emily replied, "I'm not sticking about with Sandy."
"Okay, plan B," he took a bow instead.

OOC: Psy-S is going to be introduced in the present if that's alright.

"Plan... B?" The being echoed.

"Yes. This would be it.

"You are bid greetings and glad tidings, fellow Merges! I would be greatly pleased should this day become a starting point for a chronologically extensive emotional kinship for us all, should no violence be inflicted upon each other. We would be pleased to offer what little hospitality we possess to you! Are you in agreement with this?"

"Are you seriously trying to just start over? I'd think that after my attitude not too long ago, you out of all people would want me to be gone. Especially now that I'm the personal translator for the head scientist of the Project."

"No hard feelings, I say. Everyone gets mad. And angry, too."

"Who... Who are you all?" The thing asked.

OOC: Who said the second quote of post #3817? I'm confused.

OOC: No quotation marks at the end of the first quote, indicating the second was an extension on it.

"We're all Merges, like you. Fusions between humans and Pokémon. I'll either explain now or later."

"But that isn't possible. Merges are either locked away or disposed of. The Project never sets them free, ever."

"Everyone, this is Psy-I. Unlike you all, it was created from scratch by our scientists, without a human base," Aramis grinned very slightly, while gesturing at the being, "Yes, a synthetic sentient being of unimaginable power!"

OOC: I'm certain you're aware of the contents of the other two capsules, correct?

Lilith looked at Psy-I,

"Well you see, they didn't set us free, we broke out of there ourselves. And if you're here, then..." She thought for a moment, "If the project never sets anyone free, why are you here? Does that mean... oh no..."

"Well, it's a different story here. They all escaped by being clever," he explained.
"Except me, sort of," Emily cut in, "He freed me."

"Well, isn't that ingenious. Brilliant, even, if I may say so. A wonderful thing!"

"Let's call a truce until anyone tries to kill us."

OOC: Is it not obvious?

"By 'being clever'!?" Aramis giggled. "I already told you that they were allowed to leave."

"If you're with the Project," Psy-I pointed her finger at the group, its tip beginning to give off a harsh, cyan light, "Then you'll back away so I can return these Merges to their cells."

"Sorry, but the Project's over, at least it is in the way you knew. Their intent is now purely personal."

Psy-I ceased the display, "Yes, sir..."
