Personification Life - IC Part VII [open]

[Germanic Templars]

Bran and Rylli both nodded respectfully, but Bran still held on to her tightly. She sort of reminded him of Rachelle. "So who is Catherine? Why are you looking for her?" He asked scrutinizingly. Rylli joined him, unsettled by the idea that a scientist was looking for a little girl in a laboratory area.

"Because..that, is my daughter." *She confirmed.*" My genetically different daughter.. Long story on how she was given genes that found in a shark. "

"Don't worry, we are just going to call in a Hazmat team, and we are all going to be transported down to the decontamination chamber and room to be checked out and cleaned. Quick question, did anyone touch the black substance?"

"I don't... believe so," she answered truthfully, not remembering anything of the description. She was somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of being taken further into the strange labs all around, though weighed with the risk of radiation poisoning, she figured it was best not to whine. "Didn't really touch anything, I suppose."

"Yes, don't touch a thing.. Also we need to wait a bit, it takes a bit for the teams to get here."

[Giovenith]

"I suppose a short wait won't be the scythe against my neck," said Giovenith, taking a few breaths. "So, what exactly were you trying to accomplish before this mess?"

[Germanic Templars]

"I suppose a short wait won't be the scythe against my neck," said Giovenith, taking a few breaths. "So, what exactly were you trying to accomplish before this mess?"

"To prevent HIM from causing another accident."

[Giovenith]

"I suppose a short wait won't be the scythe against my neck," said Giovenith, taking a few breaths. "So, what exactly were you trying to accomplish before this mess?"

"To prevent HIM from causing another accident."

"Well that most certainly failed... sorry."

[Torsiedelle]

Torii was relieved that nobody was hurt.

......

Katya looked back and Yoshi band quickly ran over to help.

l" Of my god, Yoshi, I'm so sorry, I was just surprised!"

[Germanic Templars]

"To prevent HIM from causing another accident."

"Well that most certainly failed... sorry."

"It's fine, besides, he locked the door." *Hassen wasn't paying any attention to their conversation. He looked around the hall from where he was standing.*

[The BranRiech]

"Because..that, is my daughter." *She confirmed.*" My genetically different daughter.. Long story on how she was given genes that found in a shark. "

"Isn't that morally questionable? Did she consent?" Bran asked, softening up a bit. "Sorry for the hostility, I have a daughter as well, around the same age." He nodded and looked to the girl, conveying the question of "Is that really your mother?" to her with his friendly gaze.

"I think she's an adorable child." Rylli smiled.

[Giovenith]

"Well that most certainly failed... sorry."

"It's fine, besides, he locked the door." *Hassen wasn't paying any attention to their conversation. He looked around the hall from where he was standing.*

"Well if there is a threat of radiation, are you sure there isn't anyone else you'd like to alert?" asked Giovenith, "I mean, unless we're the only ones here..."

[Urran]

Katya looked back and Yoshi band quickly ran over to help.

l" Of my god, Yoshi, I'm so sorry, I was just surprised!"

d-d-don't touch me." he mumbled and he continued rubbing his mouth and looking at the blood on his hands.

"I think she's an adorable child." Rylli smiled.

*The little girl shook her head up and down.* "Yes, well, you see.. I am a bit infertile, so I had to rely on an artificial womb to care for her. However, some of the engineers went and accidentally placed strands of DNA that made certain proteins found in sharks such as their eyes and teeth."

"Well if there is a threat of radiation, are you sure there isn't anyone else you'd like to alert?" asked Giovenith, "I mean, unless we're the only ones here..."

"I am sure everyone was cleared of the floors above, below, and around him with teams at the ready to mobilize once it was over."

[The BranRiech]

*The little girl shook her head up and down.* "Yes, well, you see.. I am a bit infertile, so I had to rely on an artificial womb to care for her. However, some of the engineers went and accidentally placed strands of DNA that made certain proteins found in sharks such as their eyes and teeth."

"Well that's unfortunate . . ." Bran said sympathetically. "Well, Catherine, you'd better get back to mother. Can she swim?" He asked, imaginary lines in his head connecting eerily from "Shark girl" to "Eats?" and finally to "Fish-person."

He looked around worriedly, now remembering what that Krute back at the palace had said. He tugged on his collar slightly.

"What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing!" He stuttered.

*The woman gently took back Catherine, holding on to her a bit tightly.* "Say, would you like to come with me to check out the pool we have?"

[The BranRiech]

*The woman gently took back Catherine, holding on to her a bit tightly.* "Say, would you like to come with me to check out the pool we have?"

"Sure thing, I love swimming, actually." Bran brightened up as Rylli giggled. "Yeah, we both do, unfortunately, something with my physiology is currently preventing me from swimming."

[Torsiedelle]

Katya looked back and Yoshi band quickly ran over to help.

l" Of my god, Yoshi, I'm so sorry, I was just surprised!"

d-d-don't touch me." he mumbled and he continued rubbing his mouth and looking at the blood on his hands.

"Please, I didn't mean to! It wasn't my fault!", Katya cried, covering her face. She was starting to sob.

......

Torii was looking at the wreckage still.

"It's okay, you can just sit back and tan." *She lead them towards the stairs (since the elevator was out due to the accident).*

"Now that's not right."

*Hassen looked at Torii with a tilt of his head.*

[Torsiedelle]

Torii looked back.

"Da?"

[The BranRiech]

"It's okay, you can just sit back and tan." *She lead them towards the stairs (since the elevator was out due to the accident).*

"Sure thing!" Rylli smiled as the couple followed the woman and her daughter.

[Germanic Templars]

Torii looked back.

"Da?"

*He said nothing... Just stared at her as if he was thinking very hard.*

"It's okay, you can just sit back and tan." *She lead them towards the stairs (since the elevator was out due to the accident).*

"Sure thing!" Rylli smiled as the couple followed the woman and her daughter.

*After a long walk up several flights of stairs, they reached the top floor. She opened the door out to a few pools. A few of them were filled with different species of aliens as well as a few hybid anthros including merfolks.*

[Urran]

"Please, I didn't mean to! It wasn't my fault!", Katya cried, covering her face. She was starting to sob.

Yoshi glanced up and pulled her in for a hug, getting his own tears on her in the process.

Katya hugged back, hurrying her face.

.....

Torii looked uneasy.

[The BranRiech]

"Hmm, well that's interesting." Bran said as the couple shifted towards the pool with the hybrids. Rylli took a seat and looked out over the water while Bran quickly stripped and hopped in as he always did, exposing himself for under a few seconds before his legs merged to form his scaly, finned-tail.

[Urran]

Katya hugged back, hurrying her face.

"i-i-it's okay. y-you didn't mean it" he whispered.

[Torsiedelle]

"I didn't. I was scared because of my mother. I was tricked...."

She sniffled.

"Dishonorable..."

[Urran]

"I didn't. I was scared because of my mother. I was tricked...."

She sniffled.

"Dishonorable..."

he tried to soothe her by rubbing her back. his mouth had stopped bleeding but there was a puddle of dark blue-purple liquid where he had fallen. "y-you did try to stand up to her...i-i-it is a step I g-guess."

"I was out of line....acting like a common plebian whore."

She sniffled again.

"And even worse, I hurt you."
