[so scien is reading over profiles and obviously doing so, but i do feel obligated to mention there's probably a new blood stain sleeve on his floppy lab coat sleeve where his arm should be (but he hasn't had an arm since game start i'm including this just in case)

tough he'll look up to where anise is walking by and with some amusement in his voice:]

I must say your profile may be one of my favorites of the bunch.

[like he's picking out a top 5???]

[sexyasmieu]

[ help... she stares at the sleeve and missing arm for a few seconds before blinking and reacting to what he just said. ]

Huh? Really?

... Oh, is it because they used such a cute picture of me?

[egodist]

[he continues on with the conversation as if it doesn't matter.... it's fine]

Because you have the audacity to say such a thing after being capable of "doing violence" and "holding grudges".

The dichotomy is amusing.

[sexyasmieu]

Ah...

Y-you don't have to single those things out!

[egodist]

I'm complimenting you.

[IS HE???? well he doesn't sound judgmental at least]

It's important for a young person to be resourceful.

[sexyasmieu]

Well, sure, but my biggest and most important resource is my cuteness...

... Um, more importantly, what happened to your arm?

[egodist]

Ah. I lost it prior to coming here in a fight with an idiot.

[but he still lost...]

[sexyasmieu]

How much prior...? I mean, if there's still blood on your clothes...

[ it looks like it was pretty recent, she thinks? ]

[egodist]

Oh, that's separate. I recently drew my own blood.

[sexyasmieu]

[ help. ]

... Why?

[egodist]

A few reasons, but the most pressing that might be relevant to you is that they've mentioned there's nanites in our system. Tiny, microscopic machines that allow for the use of this [a flick of his wrist to bring up the I.R.I.S. interface] and who knows what else.

They probably wouldn't tell us if it's possible, but it might be able to kill us or override our bodily control.

[sexyasmieu]

[ yikes. just making this face for a second here. ]

[sexyasmieu]

Um, so, were you able to find anything out about those little machines?

[egodist]

Not yet. I would rather draw a blood sample early, before we're in the environment too long. A later sample can be used for a comparison.

However they seem to refuse to be willing to offer me a lab for an analysis.

[sexyasmieu]

So you can't even use the sample... Do you even have any place to store it?

[egodist]

My assistant can figure it out. He needs more to do.

[sexyasmieu]

Your assistant?

[egodist]

Dahut. Loud, looks your age, green.

[sexyasmieu]

Wow... You two seem like total opposites, though.

[egodist]

We are.

[easily and immediately]

However, we are able to fulfill our roles. He is competent, and that's the primary requirement to remain in my company.
