Putting together an elite team of awesome

[idkworldruler]

Characters: Xerxes and Mitchell
Setting: Random hall
Format: Any
Summary: Xerxes and Mitch meet, a team of trolls is born
Warnings: None

This was an interesting turn of events. To actively kidnap residents of the tower and perform experiments on them that had apparently reworked their brains in some way was quite interesting. Though the continuous mental break downs that those who had undergone the experiment was somewhat eyebrow raising,it was fascinating nonetheless. Though it was near I possible for him to observe every single person who had undergone the torture, unfortunately.

So perhaps he should get to forming his own group to look into the matter? And perhaps he should start with that man in front of him? Why not? Waving over to him with a small smile on his face, got to look inviting. "What's up boy!?"

[ Such a cheerful person--Break cannot help but offer a smile in return. He's certainly not a boy, though, but he'll ignore that. Have a very oddly cheerful person with long floppy sleeves and a cane. ]

Good evening! I believe what is up, however, is the rest of this Tower--and the question of how long it shall take for those here to no longer be little playthings of our captors.

[ He'd changed his clothing awhile after fighting Tohko, like any good servant is wont to do. No blood here anymore. ]

[idkworldruler]

Oh? So you've also taken an interest in the recent changes? [A kindred spirit then! Maybe he really could use this person as a partner then? He hoped so, it's rather depressing going to solo.]

[semantating]

I find them most interesting, yes. Though, admittedly, I am quite curious as to the why, rather than the how. The how is quite apparent.

[ He's not going to lay all his cards on the table right away, sorry; he doesn't trust easily. ]

[idkworldruler]

I would actually say both the why and the how are important in this situation.

[Well then he will just have to pry a bit harder.] But opinions aside was there anything interesting that you've noticed in the last few days?

[semantating]

[ Unfortunately, Break has seen a lot of shit, and none of this is new to him. And even then, he's not about to divulge easily. ]

That depends on your definition of interesting--I am sure ours would vary.

[idkworldruler]

Well besides the obvious, have you taken notice of any specific patterns that the drones and corrupted residents have been doing?

[So has Mitch, the idea and existence of this tower does not surprise him in the slightest. Neigther does the current event. But that doesn't stop his curiosity, or his attempt at milking another for anything they may know.]

I'm more than willing to give you...compensation for cooperation, of course.

[semantating]

[ Oh, really, now? Break just tilts his head. ]

I am most open to a fair exchange. Though I will state quite the obvious at the moment: anyone who remotely speaks out against our 'saviors' is being taken, quite literally, to the morgue.

[idkworldruler]

Oh? Well now that would be a rather good place to investigate, wouldn't it? [Why not stake out where the captives were currently being taken?]

But I'm also certain that it isn't just those speaking out against our captors.

[semantating]

[ It's certainly an idea, but no one had seen the abductions take place... ]

And how am I to know you are not one of the affected? A lot of things would be good to investigate if one wanted, but I do not see any reason why I should not be concerned.

[ Can't ever be too paranoid or too careful. ]

[idkworldruler]

[Just because no one has seen it occur, doesn't mean that they didn't happen.]

Well why don't you ask yourself how do I know that you're not either?

[semantating]

[ So that's what he's driving at, hmmm? Break considers this only briefly, but he really does need another eye in this place... especially considering he no longer has Sharon's help with her Chain to spy on people like he'd like to, and so... ]

Then I suppose we shall just have to hope neither of us are very good liars! But I shall make you a deal: why not be partners? This does not need to be overly complicated. I am afraid this place is rather large, one person alone cannot hope to figure out every single thing that has happened or is happening right now.

[idkworldruler]

I would like to think that we are both very good liars. As for the deal, I'm not all too opposed to it. However if you find anything, tell me. And I'll do the same.

[semantating]

[ This elicits a chuckle from Break. ]

I make it a habit never to tell that which is not true, so you shall see no arguments from me. But since we are here--

[ He gives a sweeping bow. He sees no need to mention his being a servant right now. ]

... I am Xerxes Break. To whom do I owe the pleasure?

[idkworldruler]

[Xerxes huh? He hasn't seen him on the network yet. Perhaps he was new?]

Mitch, but I would much rather to be referred to as the Eye. [Even though he didn't give out his whole name.] Nice to meet you.

[semantating]

[ ... The irony in this meeting is thick for Break, very, very thick, but he shows no sign of anything but an overly-pleasant smile.

... He's never been on the Network, period. Because, well, he doesn't know it exists, oops. ]

You must spy an awful lot, in that case! How DOES one come across such a nickname?

[idkworldruler]

Maybe I do, but doesn't that work in our favor. [He does more than just spy. But the details of what he does were not going to be mentioned...at all.]

So, I haven't seen you on the network yet...are you new here?

[semantating]

Unless you're handed over to our cap-tors, then it may, though whose favor it ends up in is questionable at best!

[ Hmmmmm. A net... work...? As in, information, perhaps? ... Sounds like something a stupid-haired Duke would say. ]

I haven't the foggiest what nets have to do with it, as I do not recall going fishing, but I have been here for long enough to learn that this place is quit unsuitable for fishing, and it lacks the supplies!

[idkworldruler]

[So, he doesn't know about it yet? And how long has he been here thus far? Most find out about it on their first day, and then start using it to start complaining or bragging. Almost never as something that could be used to share intiment information.]

It's an information network that allows you to talk to others over long distances within the tower.

[semantating]

[ ... He hates how BEHIND he is on all this technology-babble. His world is very far into the past in comparison, so many things go over his head in the most irritating of manners. ]

Ah, so then, it is more efficient than our wonderful mail system.

[ He... still has no idea what or where this thing is. He didn't pay the Terminals much mind; they all looked like more senseless steel boxes. ]

[idkworldruler]

A little bit. It's still open for everyone to look at, however.

[This is a travesty that must be fixed. Mitch will now attempt to make him into a computer nerd.]
