towerofanimus | go back to who you were

Characters: Sertoria Cani AND YOU!
Setting: Room 3-12, workshop and then wherever the hell else.
Format: Action!
Summary: Sertoria wakes up in Doc's body. She flips out because what is being suddenly human and then tries to get answers.
Warnings: None!

Room 3-12

[ Sup, roommates? Expected to sleep in? Well, guess that's going to be interrupted by a scream and frantic behavior. Normally, Sertoria is a very calm individual, but waking up in the body of a human? That she knew as a friend? Not a very good thing in her book.

So, she'll bring a hand to her? head and scratch at it while looking around. Okay, this is...very not good. She had to find whoever had her body and try to prevent death and destruction at a large scale. ]

Great Scott...!

[ It had to happen sooner or later. ]

Workshop

[ Maybe being in here would be therapeutic to some degree and try to make sense of this conundrum. Sertoria's busying herself with doing things, like the dehydration and rehydration machine, as well as the prototype Mr. Fusion Jr. to eventually be installed. Everything else? Well, she'll get to it.

Those who might know Doc can go and meet "him", even though it's not really him at all. She'll try her best Doc impressions, though. ]

Everywhere Else

[ Suddenly being human has shined a lot of light on her on how...limited they were to androids. She really regretted the day she publicly announced that humans were weak and spineless little creatures, but now wasn't a time to lament over that. Anyone around can find her with Einstein and the gun Doc had. She had to protect this body somehow, right? ]

Einstein, right? Wanna tell me if you see anything?

[ Einstein will give an enthusiastic bark and a wag of his tail. ]

Good boy.

[ She hopes she's not ambushed in the process. ]

Day 3

[ Sertoria can be found clenching her head every so often when she's either alone or has some free time. When she closes her eyes and drifts into a brief nap, she can see a place -- Hill Valley, California.

"Her" name is Emmett Brown and "she" looks like this.

It's readily apparent that he's miserable working at the courthouse with his father. He wanted to be an inventor, not a lawyer. Lawyers were only filled with hot air and bags of gas, after all! Science was his calling!

That's why he decided that after arguing against his father's wishes, he would go to the theaters with Edna and go see Frankenstein.

Inwardly, though, Sertoria knows seeing these memories, memories of Doc's life like this was wrong. So after she wakes up, she'll shake her head and cough again. They really needed to figure out how to solve this. ]

Day 4

[ Upon waking up, Sertoria noticed that her vast memories - 7,500 years worth! - were beginning to be replaced. Thus, she'll find the nearest pen and paper and beginning to write down this:

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

I AM CXEV5001.

I AM SPERO.

I AM SERTORIA CANI.

Anyone who runs into her today will find that she's still writing this down, as well as any other information she still remembers of her life. There's several crossed out lines where she wrote down "I am Dr. Emmett L. Brown" amongst other such variations, but she's trying to fight against the memory bleedover the best she can. Though, if she--he notices you, she'll--he'll grab you by the shoulders suddenly and say: ]

Please tell me we have something to work on! Do you realize that the more we're in these forms, the more dire our consequences really are?!

Marty - I am sorry we had to meet under circumstances like these.

[ Yep. Yep, he did. ]

Sertoria. If my suspicions are right, then I believe I know who might be in my own body. ...which might not be good for us.

Sertoria... uh nice to meet you.

Let me guess... Doc is in your body?

[He's thinking about that for a bit.]

If you're here, then it makes sense Doc would be wherever you were.

The pleasure is all mine.

And yes, that is correct. However, as I am not an organic, Doc would have access to all my weaponry and the plasma, kinetic, and electromagnetic energy I use for such weapons.

[ At least she has half of her arsenal here. She doesn't want to entertain the thoughts of having someone else in her body with all of her weapons. ]

Thus, I need to find wherever he is and try to prevent a catastrophe from happening. Even one error with my weapons or the energy I was given can cause a disaster, which I am sure is not what the tower needs right now.

... That, and I am not the lightest android in the bunch.

[That is not good. Marty's seen enough sci fi. Just hanging around with Doc was destructive, thinking back on the gigantic amps they built together.]

Yeaaah. Definitely not what we need. The network's malfunctioning...

[Think Marty!]

Check your room. See if he's there. I'll go check the workshop and the cafeteria.

[He really, really didn't want to leave his room any more than he did before since he got back, but if Doc was going to blow up the Tower, he had to save the poor guy. It was the least he could do.]

[ She would also like a body to actually return to when this is all over, too. ]

You can already mark the cafeteria as a place he would not need to go to. In my body, I do not have to eat or drink as I do not have the capabilities or necessities. That, and unless if he suddenly became a weightlifter overnight, I would have troubles moving. As stated previously, I am...

[ Quick calculations do do dooo-- ]

196 kilograms or 432 pounds.

[ Then, it hits her like a ton of bricks. She actually has to eat in this body in order to maintain it. Damn. ]

... First, what does he eat for breakfast?

[Oh. Marty hadn't thought of that, being rather distracted with the VOICES IN HIS HEAD. Well... the Doc might go there out of habit. It couldn't hurt to check after he visited the workshop.]

That's.... definitely pretty heavy.

[And he wasn't using that as an expression for once.]

Doc? Um... It's... kinda hard to think right now. Sometimes he'd forget to eat if I didn't remind him, you know? Getting caught up with work, but he made a pancake maker a while ago. Yeah. Pancakes...

[Marty's scrunching up his face a bit.]

Yeah, or something from the cafeteria if there was anything good there.

[ Looks like she has some scolding to do after this is all over. Luckily, she's not bothered by the otherwise slight buzzing of power going through her body right now. ]

Pancakes? All right, I will try these pancakes.

[ She's actually kind of excited over the prospect over eating things like a normal human does! Maybe this is finally the push the two of them needed to get the project off the ground. ]

Anyway, since I know the tower is not safe...

[ She goes to pick up the rifle and looks at Einstein, pointing at the dog. ]

...Does he fight?

Einey? Yeah... he'll bite ankles if I tell him to...

Hey, Einey!

[Einstein just cocks his head at 'Eikichi' and whines.]

...Huh, guess it doesn't work since I'm not me today.

[Pausing, he gave Sertoria a glance.] Oh, right, Doc's body. He'll listen to you. Just say 'sic 'em!' if you need a distraction.

[ Sertoria will rub his? her? whatever chin in consideration. ]

...This is just a test to see if it works, Marty.

[ She'll clear her throat and smiles at Einstein. ]

See that boy over there? Sic 'em!

[ Guess what Einstein does, Marty? ]

[OH YOU DID NOT JUST SIC EINSTEIN ON MARTY.]

WHOA! Easy boy, easy Einey!

[MARTY IS NOT HAPPY.]

I'm Marty! Marty! Remember? Down boy!

[ She'll apologize! She's good at that... sadly! ]

Okay, okay, it works! Down boy, good boy - I will...give you a toy to play with later!

[ Like that, the dog obeys and lays down on the floor. ]

[He's just glaring at Sertoria now. Eikichi's best glare, anyway. If he was still in his own body it probably wouldn't be quite as effective...]

[ Then maybe the next move will be a little bit weird in Doc's body. She's actually bowing. what is this. ]

Sorry. I will not do that again.

[Okay yeah, that wasn't something he was used to Doc doing.]

Ah... uh... don't worry about it...

[Aaanyway.]

We should get looking for Doc.

[ And then she'll straighten right up again. ]

Right. Do you have any communication devices handy to where we can keep in touch?

You mean like a radio? No... those kinda things don't work in the Tower. All we got is the network and it's... kinda not working well right now.

[Hesitant head scratch. He was used to not having communication devices or networks. It'd taken some practice to get used to the computers here, which, despite the stripped down basic-ness of the terminals, still were pretty far ahead of the computers of his time.]

Maybe we could meet back here in an hour.

Ah. That makes me wonder how I am able to function normally in the tower, then...

[ But now's not the time to wonder about that. Though, she'll grab a sheet of paper and a pen and sketch a really quick design of what she normally looks like and hands it to Marty. ]

As the Doc would say, please excuse the crudity of this design. We are crunched for time and I did not have said time to draw it to scale or color it.

But, all right. I will meet you back here, Marty. Please be safe.

Hey, no sweat, Doc- er... Sertoria...

[Headscratch.]

Anyway, you too.

Force of habit?

[ They can talk about such small things like this later. So, after throwing on a long brown coat, she'll wait for Marty to go. ]
