She almost felt guilty when she heard the state that Hiroshi was in, but a stubborn anger kept her from being too sad. "Don't worry about anything being ruined. I'll take care of it."
" Let's hurry and get some ice cream!" Tomia giggled, urging Claudia faster by bouncing her boots on her side. For a second she could have sworn Claudia looked guilty when she mentioned how tired and worn out her Dad was, but it was gone as fast as it appeared.
" He trains all night too." She muttered. " He wants to ascend he says. He says there's a threat coming. I've also heard him talking to himself."
"He does do that." Claudia muttered absently. She walked towards the ice cream store, a small stand with lots of flavours. She smiled at the clerk and placed Tomia down on the counter. picking her off her head. "There you go, what flavour do you want?" She asked, tempted to lean on the shop but she might actually break it and a lot of other things if she did. She looked at the pictures of ice cream they could have.
Meanwhile. in the distance there was a bright light in the sky, almost starlike.

That explanation was one that didn't really explain anything for Xyri. "I have more... questions." She spoke. She sorted through the ones she had in her head and chose some of the better ones. "How are you making those orange people float in blue balls?" She asked. "And what do you mean by... I? You just said that you're a group." She was actually quite proud of herself for picking up on that.
Jamal stared at the giant slime girl for a few seconds in silence. Clearly, she wasn't the brightest person, or slime person, rather. Or maybe she was, for all he knew. In which case he wondered how in the world such a species could function. "Those guys," Jamal pointed at the captured Ratu pirates, "are captured inside of a localized gravity field. Jamal paused, realized that she likely would simply become even more confused. "Er, that is to say..." He trailed off as he realized that he was struggling to put it in as simple terms as possible. Maybe Worldmind had rubbed off on him a little too much.
"Alright, it's... a bubble where gravity doesn't act normally because I control it." Jamal wasn't certain whether that helped at all. After all, he wasn't a teacher and explaining something in simple terms was more difficult than he expected. Jamal released a sigh when Xyri asked him why he said "I" after stating he was a part of a group. "That's even more complex. But, the cliff notes version is that everyone else is...dead. I'm the only one left." He felt a sting in his gut as he said this. No matter how many times he repeated this, he still hadn't gotten over it and therefore it never came easy to him.
Xyri frowned. She was aware of the concept of gravity. When someone jumped, they came back down. Things like that made sense to her. She wasn't quite skilled enough in social comunication to understand that Jamal didn't think she was very smart, but she did get a sense of condensention from him, even if she couldn't describe it as such. She mentally shrugged, reasoning it didn't really matter. "Gravity... so they fly, like birds or orange ships." She nodded. Then frowned slightly. "I understand. I am alone too. No one else like me around. Definitely not." She spoke, nodding. Though Jamal's situation was a little more complex than that. "I can hug you if it'll make you feel better." She sincerely suggested.

Liberty might have had a witty comeback about... five seconds ago? Heck, she was good at thinking of things on the fly and planning ahead. But... right now she really was having trouble thinking of anything to retort with. She simply looked into the eyes of the other android, their eyes meeting. She really was having a hard time thinking at all now, and she had no idea why. Why was she so... flustered? Why was she so close to someone who had tried to murder her not long ago? She knew the answer. It was just hard to admit.
She leaned her head forward and kissed the other android, her arm moving to the back of his head. If he used the opertunity to stab her in the back... well. She didn't care too much now. Now she was a little too preoccupied with Frank.
Frank Mayhem
Battle! Vs. Liberty!
I was already bracing for the hit. The finishing blow. Some time ago. I was in her place... and she survived via transfomation. Was it... foolish of me to even meet her? Back there, on Battleworld, I remember already... the first move was me saving her from a Thor. And now, we are furious enemies. I thought about all this time that passed. I had already closed my eyes and was prepared t meet my fate...
And yet, that strike never happened. I was not feeling my body being vaporized, pulverized... but I felt something was going on. Should I open my eyes? Without thinking it out, I did... What? Why? With her? I had too many questions in my mind. I almost believed my mind is making this up as a pre-death hallucination... but it was real. It was in front of me, solid and clear.
We were kissing. And, unlike what I would have wanted to do... I did not move my head back and immediately stab Liberty in the chest. This was the perfect opportunity... and yet... I was wasting it. I was enjoying it. What is this feeling... I felt so... happy... powerless... and yet, seeking HER...
My previous self would be disgusted. But fuck my previous self. He's a cocky insecure brat. I embaced the kiss. I closed my eyes again. I... I'm not even me anymore...
Liberty was also surprised by the whole affair. Sure she initiated the kiss, but she still couldn't believe she had done it. Why? Frank had been such an asshole to her. Had nearly killed her multiple times just to prove his superiority, was a massive racist and... yet she couldn't deny she was attracted to him in a way that she hadn't to any of the many organics she had fucked. She felt something else for him. Too early to call love, so she just decided to call it magnetism and leave it at that.
She pulled back. Still on top of Frank. She paused, then folded her arms on his chest, supporting herself. She sighed. "So..." She started. This was awkward. "Does this... change anything? I mean..." She paused. "Honestly, this is pretty new for me. Not the whole kissing thing, but kissing someone I had been shooting and beating repeatedly with massive guns. I'm not sure..." She paused. Then leaned back in. Was she even really the same now? She felt like she was more justice than Liberty. She switched back to her Liberty form, trying to see if that would make a difference.
It didn't. Not at all. It was like using a different lense, but she still saw... Frank. And she wanted him.
"Wanna talk about this... or... we could always fuck." She suggested. "I mean, it's the most logical step forward. At least for me."
