“Based on the ingredients used, a stew holds more nutritional value than anything prepared in what humans call a ‘fryer.’ Why they’d prefer something that offers less sustenance, I do not understand.”
“ I literally asked the first question.. “ Huff. Can’t argue with a machine. If that wasn’t proof enough that this thing wasn’t human, she didn’t know what else could hint it. Aside from the clearly glowing eyes. They reminded her of those strange-looking toys she’d sometimes catch on television, depicting ‘cool robots with laser beam action’ or something like that.
Could she shoot laser beams out her eyes? That’d be pretty cool..
“ Tch. I don’t know what ‘EXS’ energy is, unless it’s some weird term for ‘Honkai’ I’ve never heard of. You still haven’t answered my question, but I’ll humor you. I’m a Herrscher. A scion of god. An angel of god. Yadda yadda… basically, I’m a pseudo-goddess. Does that process? “ She taps the side of her head as if suggesting that, somehow, the information wouldn’t computer with her parameters.
‘Honkai’? Vatista was given knowledge primarily about EXS and FLS, this ‘Honkai’ is something neither she nor presumably her masters have ever heard of. And the claims of being an angel... Ironic, considering what she herself is often compared to. This demands further investigation, but first, she owes Sirin a reply.
“Honkai... Herrscher... Adding terminology to database. Will inquire further about specific definitions later. You wish to know what I am? Very well, I will comply. I am an Autonomic Nerve, Unit No. 10076. Assigned name is Vatista. My purpose is to oversee the phenomena known as the Hollow Night and intervene if a threat grows too large. Are you some unknown creature of the Night that my masters were unaware of? What is your intent with coming to Earth?”
The hell is this..?
It didn’t strike her as a human, despite appearing as one. Closer to a machine, maybe, especially with the way it spoke. Sirin was used to machines at this point, as being a part of the Hyperion’s crew exposes her to all sorts of technological funk, though artificial AI’s never ceased to intrigue her. Most of the time, those AI’s were designed with the purpose of eradicating her. This one didn’t seem that way - it looked more curious than anything.
“ Didn’t anyone tell you that staring at people and ‘analyzing’ them is rude? “ She quips, ignoring the fact that she’s likely done the same in some situations. “ What are you, anyways? “
A pair of eyes, emitting a crimson glow yet completely empty of life, stare blankly at the unknown lifeform, as if sizing her down. Scanning... Miniscule amount of clothing, would likely be forced to cover herself by Hyde. Or does this humanoid creature also understand how unnecessary clothing is for function? Her eyes shifted upwards to stare Sirin dead in the face, never blinking once throughout the whole ordeal.
“Request on hold. This body is the one asking questions. The rampant energy I detect in you is not EXS, though I can still detect a vaguely humanlike soul within you. What are you?”
@hcnkaibrainrot
“Life form detected... Unknown energy source detected, and in abundant supply. Odds of human, exceedingly low. Investigating...”
“Hmm...It has been a significant period of time since anyone has been around.”
Hyde being a guest fighter in Melty Blood would just lead to everyone under the sun trying to steal Insulator from him.
“Yes, yes, it’s all Melty Blood now. I can’t imagine the game’s revival being short-lived at all.”
*Hides the tweet announcing a new UNIB game.*
southtownwolvesvoidxred said: *Hyde is crying tears of blood in the bg at this point*
“I estimate the new Melty Blood game will set us back approximately four years. Its return shall come at our expense.”
*Patiently waits for a proper UNIB sequel.*
“Why do females feel attraction to a violent streetwalker more likely to stuff them into a waste disposal unit than engage in physical intimacy?”
“ …oh no…don’t tell me you live with that creep too?! Now he’s really going to have it when I get my hands on him. Where are your parents? …wait, do you even have any? ”
“You are demonstrably the type to misunderstand meaning unless it is spelled out to you, so I will be direct: I am not a child. I am not a human being. I am an Autonomic Nerve, an automaton construct that has created many millennia ago to oversee the Hollow Night.”
“That little rectangular device everyone seems to have. Those... phones. Why don’t I have one?”
voidxred:
“ What I need is an exorcist to get rid of that demon out there more than anything.” Sigh.
“ Gah, I can’t be mad at you…”
Vatista pauses and approaches the phone on the dresser.
“Do they have a phone number?”
voidxred:
“ Look, I’m not upset or scared, okay? I just don’t want to deal with all the crap that happened last time because of that chick! ”
Hyde get out from under the bed, you look silly.
“Do you require hot chocolate and a blanket, Hyde?”
“Hyde seems upset about something...”
“ What?! How would anyone think something else happened when it’s clear what he did to me?! You…you should stop hanging out with him, or else he’ll do more awful things to you! ”
“I... do not understand what ‘awful thing’ you believe he did. But I presume it would be difficult to avoid someone whose house I currently reside in.”
gallantgirl crosses over.
“I heavily advise choosing your forms of expression more carefully in the future. Accused Hyde of turning you into an In-Birth, though choice of words suggested something else occurred.”
