Nytri enters the main building, she's greeted by those inside and she replies with a smile walking towards the elevator. Her appearance piqued the curiosity of those around her.
Passer 1 notices Nytri, "Oh look, it's Nytri...why's she holding a bat?" Passer 2 notices and shrugs, "Maybe it's a fashion trend….I think I should get a bat too." Passer 3 facepalms, "Bat isn't use for fashion, it's clearly use for hitting something." Passer 1 smiles wryly, "In a place like this, I think it's meant for hitting someone." Passer 4 glances at them, "I wonder who it's meant for..." They all reply in unison, "Isa."
Nytri enters the elevator and she taps a button to move her to the top floor below the helipad, the administration part. The elevator moves and stops with people getting on and off until it finally reaches the top floor. Nytri gets off and yawns walking in the corridor, she turns to her right to a big door ahead with the symbol of LR(Lead Researcher) on it. Nytri reaches the door and knocks it playfully, she keeps the bat behind her. * KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"Coming in!" Isadora speaks from inside and the door slides open, Nytri enters and looks around to a shelf with a stack of books making something like a book fortress. In the midst of it is Isa who's wearing glasses and writing and reading, she lifts her head to see Nytri. "Oh, hi mum!" Isa gets out of the stack of books. Her office is very big with contraptions even hanging from the ceiling, on her desk is a cube of many sides covered in runes. There're models of helicopters, aircrafts, power suits, armor, weapons, paper chemicals with names, and many others hanging from the ceiling. This limits the space of the room not to mention the many book shelves with books, each book has screen inside instead of paper.
Isa has a broad smile, "I wasn't expecting to see you here….." the bat behind Nytri is seen and her face pales. Nytri starts walking to Isa slowly with the bat in her hand with a warm smile but looks scary. Isa shakes her hands around, "Wait wait wait, mum hold on. YAAAGGHHH!!" the sound of crashing and clattering is heard from the office followed by pleas and sounds of metal hitting flesh.
Isa speaks frantically, "PLEASE WAIT MUM! WHHYYY?! I HAVEN'T MADE ANYTHING TOO DANGEROUS YET!"
Nytri's voice is heard, "'Too dangerous yet' Am I suppose to wait till you reach 'dangerous'?" *BONK*
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG!" crashing continues with more pleas.
"Oh," Nytri's voice is heard, "I just saw a high concentration of Chemical Cyanide on my way here, not to mention the traces of Nitrogen mixed in it."
Isa cries, "But that's to make the human body stronger! The body has metals so I'm just increasing its reactivity!" *CRASH CRASH THUD* something seemed to have fallen, "I haven't even added the metals to it yet!" *CRASH* "Mixing it with crystalized EP will raise levels by a lot and with perks too! Some metals even increase response time and heightens our senses like ULTRA SENSE!"
*BONK* Nytri's voice comes from the room, "Such high concentration can actually hurt people! It's literally POISON!" *CRASH CRASH*
Isa begs, "BUT WE'RE RESISTANT TO POISON! EEEEKKK!" *BONK CRASH*
"Then why is your eyes so strange?! Your hands are green and discolored!" Nytri yells.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT I HAVE A BLACK EYE!" Isa retorts.
Nytri yells, "Not that! The circles under it!" The sounds of crashing stop for a moment, "Your eyes are dull and you look like crap. You're turning green and your hair looks like rust."
"...I guess you're right." Isa replies, "Maybe I should increase the plant content to add regenerative perks to it. Maybe a fruity flavor." *BONK* Cries follow, "Owww! Whhyyy?!"
Nytri yells, "I'M GOING TO BEAT THAT SHITTY IDEA OUT OF YOUR HEAD!" *BONK THUD CRASH BONK BONK* the sounds continue for a while with cries occasionally filling the air.
Passers notice the strange phenomenon happening in Isa's office, "What's going on?" A passer asks another, "It seems there's a lot of noise there, should we check it out?"
Passer 2 looks at Passer 1, "You didn't see?" Passer 1 looks curious and Passer 2 continuous, "My liege came to the district this morning looking beautiful as always. She came to the princess' office, I think they were supposed to have an outing."
Passer 3 muses, "I think they're having a passionate conversation on technology advancement. They talk about that a lot."
Passer 1 points at the door, "No no no no no, there's clearly the sound of cries and something hitting something!"
Passer 2 recalls, "Maybe it's an intellectual clash...though, I did see My liege holding a club."
Passer 1 rubs its chin, "Oh, that kinda explains the commotion."
Passer 4 glances at Passer 1 confused, "Does it?!"
Passer 1 nods, "Of course, it's probably them celebrating over discovery or a milestone."
Passer 4 grins, "Oh, then you should check it out and celebrate with them."
Passer 1 nods, "Yes! That's only right." Takes a few steps to the door and notices silence behind it, it turns around and notices the rest are by the elevator. "Hey! Why're you way over there?!"
Passer 3 waves the hand, "Oh, don't worry. We're just picking something from the elevator and join you. You go ahead."
Passer 1 points at Passer 2 who's hiding by the corner to watch, "There's no way I'm going with you casting a defensive spell!"
The door of Isa's office opens suddenly and Isa rushes out like a blur, threads come from the room and tie her legs up. "GET BACK HERE!" Isa falls and is being dragged back, her fingers dig into the metal ground leaving a claw trail behind as she's dragged back into the office and the door closes shut. Silence fills the corridor... no one could miss the look of despair on her face.
Passer 4 walks to the door and kneels, "I pray for your survival, Master."
Passer 2 yells, "What's that supposed to mean?!"
Passer 3 kneels before the door, "Oh Great One, may you bless me with a promotion."
Passer 2 points at Passer 3 yelling at it, "Oi, that has more than 1 meaning! You'll be decommissioned if you keep that attitude up."
After 30 minutes of intense noise and Isa's continuous begging, the clamor gradually subsided. Then words of praise fill the office, "That spider fortress you built was truly magnificent, I was blown away. You even added a mini factory in it to gather resources and make parts, we won't have to worry about it breaking down somewhere."
Inside the office, Nytri gives a thumbs up. "That was badass!"
Isa is on the ground with her back resting on her desk, she raises her hand shakingly and returns with a thumbs up. Despite being covered in bruises and missing teeth, she still looks good. Embedded in the wall is a bat with steam coming from it, it has strange designs on it like faces molded into it. This could probably fit in a museum as a unique bat made by a mastercraf- oh it's Isa's face.
Isa gets up on her shaking legs, "Gosh, did you have to hit so hard?" she moves to her chair and sits on it.
Nytri smiles wryly, "It's my fault for having such stubborn kids." She looks at Isa, "When inventing something, try to limit its lethality. You know, like a friendly rabbit."
Isa shrugs, "Those bastard rabbits are a lot of things but friendly is not one of them." She grips her hands, "Damn things stole my veggies." She gets teary.
Nytri sits on Isa's table and wipes her tears, "Don't worry little one, just make it look safe….and safe. It shouldn't just look the part." Isa nods obediently. Nytri notices blueprints and picks one up by accident, "Are you planning on building a dragon or what?"
"Yeah," Isa speaks, "Just some scarecrows to keep outsiders in check."
"Paxius asked for scarecrows." Nytri speaks and Isa nods. Nytri smiles, "Paxius has really taken the role of king to a dot. I even noticed immigrants on my way here, though it's hard for them to adapt to our lifestyle." Nytri looks at Isa and rubs her head on the table, "How about you make something friendly to help them adapt, they'd really appreciate it."
Isa squints her mouth, "Unh uhnn, I want to make something to help mum." She looks at Nytri with cute eyes.
Nytri smiles but her thoughts, "No way I'm drinking that poison." Nytri sighs, "Helping them is helping me. And it'll keep me from checking up on what you do."
Isa smiles at Nytri, "I like the sound of that." They chuckle. Isa gets up from her chair as if she didn't just get a beating, Azurian recovery is indeed remarkable. "Mum, there's something I want to show you, I think we're closing to making a stable portal door. We set one up here and we set up another on grandma's territory and the clan."
"Oh, show me." Nytri replies getting up from the table, "Also, can you limit how often you call me mum? I'm not that old or anythi-" She notices Isa staring at her with an innocent look, "Never mind."
"Well, mum is young." Isa speaks, "Outsiders couldn't believe you gave birth to all us no matter how many times we explained it." Isa waves her hands in the air, "It's just so bizarre to them."
They exit the office to the elevator and head deeper underground. Behind them is a figure, the figure is looking at them as they descend. They exit from the elevator and they didn't notice the figure at all. They exit the elevator and go their separate ways, but the figure reaches a vending machine and the sound attracts Nytri.
Nytri looks at the vending machine, "Wait, Lucian? When did you get here?" Isa turned around, she had to focus a bit to notice Lucian.
Lucian squints her mouth, "I work here." He picks a juice can and opens it.
Isa is shocked, "Since when?!" she's pointing at Lucian as he takes a gulp.
Lucian shrugs, "Who do you think has been helping you find all the files you need? I'm your secretary." Isa goes blank. Nytri covers her mouth with her eyes wide and her thoughts, "I hope I didn't hit him by accident."
[AU:INFO
- Constructs created by Nytri refer to her as 'My liege', those created by her kin refer to her as 'Great one'
- Constructs created by Nytri refer to her kin as 'Prince/Princess', those created by her kin refer to them as 'Master'. This change takes place when they link the constructs to the Nexusphere.
- For some reason it's very hard to find Lucian. He may be right behind you.
