Seeing Double

Characters: Abel Nightroad, Cain Knightlord, and YOU!
Setting: Hallways around the tower
Format: Either, will copy what you do
Summary: Cain and Abel go in search of answers. Potentially violently.
Warnings: Bad language, possible violence (with permission, of course).
Notes: Both twins will reply to each commenter, so please wait for both terranicidal and terranities to reply <3

Cain wasn't sure what he was seeing as they moved into the corridors; from the tone of the letter he had expected a post-apocalyptic scenario, not this well-maintained building they were in.

Perhaps this was a check-point for the simulation and they wouldn't go any further until they had unlocked its secrets and learned their mission objective. He had to admit that it unnerved him not to know the end goal to strive for, it made it harder for him to achieve the desired result in a swift time, thus ending this uncomfortable situation and allowing him to return back to his life, such as it was, and his duties.

He possibly would have remained in the room he had awoken in for a while longer had he been alone, pondered what could be happening and strategised all the various ways it could turn out. But he hadn't been alone, of course, and to let Abel wander off alone was a disaster waiting to happen.

So anyone walking down the hallways (of any level, they have been exploring), might see two very identical twins walking along, the only difference in their hair colour and the look of murder the silver-haired one is wearing.

[ooc: Open to all, and we'd love to meet everyone. However, Abel is prone to violence, so there's a permissions post here for all your lovely violence needs.]

[Abel may not be one for faith -- but it was something that Lilith had held in high esteem. thus, when he spots the figure upon the pew with Bible in hand, something halts his footsteps, and quickly, at that.

a woman. the sight is familiar, and he hesitates just perceptibly... before the mild surprise at finding a cathedral in this place is replaced, instead, with irritation. of course, they'd make a mockery of this, too. of the things Lilith and Seth prized...]

You. [he has no respect for this place of worship, it seems -- calling outright to the woman within it as heavy footfalls announce his approach. he's pointing at her, expression one of cold displeasure.]

Get me out of here, or I'll kill every one of your worthless AI's. I've had enough of this bullshit.

Abel!

[Cain had no more faith in God than his twin, but he believed in behaving with reverence around others' beliefs and places of worship. It might not be a real cathedral, but Lilith would still not be impressed at them barging in with no respect.]

I'm sorry, miss, he doesn't mean that. But we would like your help.

[ The cathedral's strange acoustics doesn't carry both their voices or the sounds of their steps, so Spain doesn't hear either of them until she gets up to leave the level. She stops and blinks when two very tall and similar looking boys block her way, head tilted slightly as she approaches them, having not heard what they said in the first place. ]

I'm sorry, but this place has a strange way of muting sounds and voices. [ She had to shout to get her voice across, even when she's less than a foot away from them. ] You must be new here.

[...this throws him, for a moment -- and he looks back at his brother, before taking another step in her direction. the... hell is with this place? but he has no problem raising his voice.]

End the simulation. Now.

[He knows Abel is less inclined to hit women, so he isn't as concerned with getting between them as he might have been otherwise. Still, he raises his voice too, to tack on a single word to the end of that.]

Please!

[ She shakes her head, frowning slightly at the silver one. ]

I don't understand what you're talking about, chico. This is no simulation.

[ The blond one was nicer, and she smiles at him slightly. ]

I'm afraid I don't have the answers as to why you two are here.

[nnnghhh; his patience is limited on a good day... and today? isn't it.

he only second guesses outright hurting her because she's a woman -- and maybe he has enough sense in him not to punch everything that moves, even when he's this wound up. she's talking to them, at least...]

Bullshit. What's the objective? This entire process is pointless and you're wasting your officers' valuable time on trivialities. You will regret this.

[...sob. they totally think this is a virtual training program. sigh.]

[The small smile to him was a surprise, it was rare that an AI possessed the subtle nuances to change expression between people being kind and people not.

Still, he smiles back, friendly and soft even as Abel is shouting like an idiot. Not a simulation... it tugs at him, but it's too impossible to believe.]

What can you tell us, miss?

[Finding out what the programmed objective of this AI was, was more profitable than attempting to make it do something it wouldn't.]

[ Again, a slight frown at the silver one after giving a brighter smile to the blond. Spain steps closer to the one being rude and flicks him on the ear. ]

Mind your language, chico. I do not tolerate such behaviour from a handsome young man like yourself.

[ She turns to the other, the nicer one. ] If you read the note they left you by your bedside, then you'll know that we're 'saved' from the destruction of our world. Why or how our world is destroyed, we won't know, but I do not believe it such.

[as he sees her stepping closer, he's shifting into that semi-relaxed position where he's ready to retaliate if she tries anything; after all, she could be programmed for combat. he wouldn't put it beyond their superiors to input some kind of surprise attack from a woman in a church to catch them off their guard if they were already feeding on their perceived 'weaknesses.'

his eyes are following her fingers.]

Touch me, and I'll break your--

[...finger??

did she seriously. just.

...........

]

[Cain is similarly staring, having come to the same conclusions as Abel that it was likely they were about to be attacked.

And then...

...she flicked his ear. Like he was a dog misbehaving.]

[He can't help it, sorry bro, he bursts into laughter.]

That... tha--ahahahaha--- HAHAHAHA--- th-that told you... HAHAHAHA...

[ Crossing her arms across her chest, Spain cracks a smile as well. Of course, laughter is contagious, and the blond one laughing induces her to giggle as well. But, only just a little. ]

[FLUSTERED and totally taken off his guard, he snaps a look around to his brother that says that he might just kill him instead.]

What the-- fuck are you laughing at? [he's not red at all. NOPE. NOOOOT RED.]

[He would reply, really he would, be the red tint to Abel's face just set him off more.

He's forced to lean on the back of one of the pews, laughter loud and genuine.]

[ She flicks silver one on the ear again, tsking away. ]

Don't make me wash your mouth out with soap, chico. Really, saying bad words like that. You should be ashamed of yourself.

S-- stop that! What the--

[flskjdflskjdfsjldkjflwkje

wlekjrlkjwer

welkrjw

...his eloquent thought process equates to little more than a keysmash as he tries to wiggle his head out of her reach, looking increasingly flustered and annoyed. what the-- HELL IS GOING ON OKAY this is not

his brain can't

....wlekjrlwkjer]

[This is the best simulation in the world, and he may just be filing this memory away with the most treasured ones to laugh over forever.

Almost out of breath by now, eyes streaming tears, he holds up his hands towards her pleadingly.]

N-No more... please, I can't take it!

[ Sighing, she obliges to the blond one's plea, shaking her head again. ]

I'm really sorry, but your brother - I assume he is - has a foul mouth, and that is simply no way to speak to a lady if you want her help.

[so red... :| wh-what the hell is going on. he's never seen an AI act like this before... not-- ever seen a HUMAN act like this before. it's like...

...

nnmph. putting those two thoughts together makes him even more uncomfortable, and he shoves at his brother's shoulder in a gesture to get him up again, irate and all coiled up. :| :| :|]

[Stumbling a little with the shove, he rights himself and moves smoothly between Abel and the AI, giving her a bright smile.]

You'll have to excuse him, I got the manners and charm when they were being handed out.

[ Her smile mirrors his, and she gives a slight nod. ]

It seems likely, chico. Twins don't usually behave the same way no matter how identical they are.

[glowering over his brother's shoulder in displeasure as Cain puts himself between them... twins? 'no matter how identical.' either it was a potshot at their nature as clones -- which is likely to him, considering where he assumes she's come from, or it was quite the coincidental joke.

either way, he's keeping his mouth shut for now. ...a very short 'now.' so his brother should hurry up and get something of use out of her before he decides to go back to his way.]

We're not sure of the mission objective, can you tell us what your purpose here is?

[If her purpose was nothing more than scenic decoration, they'd know to move on until they found something of use.]
