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.]
unexculpable: (yeah and?)

[Where do you go if you need to find a state alchemist in a pinch? Well, your best bet would be the library and that just happens to be where Ed is when the twins make their way through. He has a small stack of books tucked under his right arm and is doing a terrible job of paying attention to his surroundings thanks to the open book in his left hand that he's skimming through as he waslks to a table.]

ed, abel, cain for tag order? <:

[Abel is thoroughly convinced that this is all an elaborate virtual simulation -- and that the first person he comes across in it is just an AI programmed by its creators. (post-apocalyptic world; please. this was just ridiculous AND unoriginal. it's almost insulting, really, to subject him to this kind of crap.)

thus, as he's passing by the door, he halts... spotting Ed engrossed in his obviously pre-programmed task. having the appearance of a kid doesn't stop the Commander (who doesn't look much older than eighteen himself) from heading in his direction with clear intent in his eyes.

...and it isn't exactly the intention to sit down and have a tea party. he looks tensed in that way that comes right before someone throws a punch at your face.
]

Get up.

[and THAT was rather demanding, wasn't it? he doesn't have much in the way of manners at all. >:]

[ The cathedral is where Spain stays, and it's where the twins will find her curled up on one of the pews nearer to the back where the hallways are, reading her Bible. ]

/holdssss <3

[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.
unexculpable: (TCH.)

Yeah, same here.

[personal profile] unexculpable 2011-09-20 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Ed doesn't have much in the way of manners either. He looks up from his book with a heavy frown and definitely does not look scared of you at all. ]

Tch. Why the hell should I?

Frank, WRYYY...

[identity profile] terranicidal.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Abel brushes his twin's hand off, heading straight for the SMALL FRY at the table... and reaching for the collar of his shirt to just about jerk him violently up.]

You rather we talk like this? It doesn't matter, either way, to me.

Cease the simulation, or I'll destroy every single worthless AI you programmed one by one. Do you think I have the patience for this? [he almost looks bored, but there's a genuine ire in his eyes, impatience edged with an unhinged anger. he doesn't like being played with. sorry, Ed, he totally thinks you're a programmed npc in a virtual reality simulation training program. sob.]
unexculpable: (Default)

sob idk man idk

[Congrats! Ed is now out of the chair and dangling above the ground, but Abel might find his weight surprising. He's much heavier than someone his size and build would normally be and as Ed grabs the hand attached to his shirt Abel will definitely notice the difference between his right and left hand.]

What the hell are you talking about?! PUT ME DOWN, JACKASS!

/loves on both of you ;v;

[ 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.

[--the observations about the weight of him and the... odd hand are lost in that moment as he gives the kid a shake and just about tosses him back into his chair.]

Do you think you're being-- cute?! What, did you program them to spout 'monster', too? I'll fucking have your heads for this!!

/picks up and twirls!

[identity profile] terranicidal.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[...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.

@.@

[ 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.]

[identity profile] latomatetas.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 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.

[ 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. ]
