Personification Life

[Bone Fort]

"Ok guys, I'm back now. I'll join the circle too."

"Well thanks for volunteering to go first. Why are you here?"

A conga line of Spec Ops soldiers suddenly goes past the door behind him.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Hey Pie Asstard, can you explain the situation and not throw a pie in my face or shove me off a building, or blow my head off?"

"Can everyone shut up for a minute so we can sort this out, before I lose it and kill you all?... Thank you. Here, let's go around the circle, everyone say a little about their life story, then we end with Mon if she wants to say something by then, alright? Who wants to go first?"

"Fine! I was geneticly engineered to be a theme park attraction, but I was too smart for them. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I built a time machine and ended up discovering that I engineered myself. Next!"

[The BranRiech]

"Ok guys, I'm back now. I'll join the circle too."

"Well thanks for volunteering to go first. Why are you here?"

A conga line of Spec Ops soldiers suddenly goes past the door behind him.

"Fine, get ready for a doozy of a story.

Well, I grew up in the rural Branriech, between usual nuclear testing, zombie attacks, and government firing squads executing anyone out past curfew; i tried to live as normal a life as possible. Well when I turned 15, I was chosen for Mandatory Military service and served in the Air Force for 5 years. On the fifth year, I published my second paper on the theory of using nuclear warfare to help augment our combined Arms strategy. This got me noticed by the High General who thought my radical bew thinking was quote: "Dangerous for the World" So one night as I was lying awake in bed, I realized that the firing squads would be knocking down my door in the morning. So i drove to the nearest Military base. As it turns out, the base was experimenting with a teleportation machine. I quickly jumped into the machine and wound up in a Fallout shelter somewhere across town from this building. After a few years of digging, I eventually ended up tunneling through the wall downstairs."

[Bone Fort]

"Alright, thanks. Swith, you might want to go first, ours is kinda a long story. And complicated. Very complicated."

[Swith Witherward]

She gave Bone a look that was clearly "are you fucking serious?"

"I'm a four dimensional being that normally exists in phase space... the place between universes and dimensions... who was sucked into this universe when one of our experiments went horribly wrong." She almost added "I like pina coladas and getting lost in the rain" but thought better of it. "That's why the physics here don't effect me," she finished rather softly.

"Interesting. I guess it's my turn now..."

He inhales deeply.

[Bone Fort]

"The earliest memory I have is from about three and a half weeks ago. I woke up on a conveyor belt, about to be dumped into a furnace, with nothing but the clothes on my back, same ones I wear now. Beside me were Totenkopf and Herr Doktor, who were just as informed as I was: no memory, only fuzziness. We managed to escape, it was some sort of lab in the middle of nowhere in Bone Fort, we go on the run for a little bit, dodge some assassins, survive the wastelands of the Friedhof, blah, blah, blah. Week later, we meet up with the other guys, they were in the same situation, just woke up the day before about to die in an incinerator, no memory, just vague ideas of who they were.

We found a bunker and made it our home. It was a strange place, physics didn't apply very much there. You'd know this as my current room. See, after killing another team of assassins, we decide to disappear to somewhere else. Dok, he figures out how to detach the whole friggin' bunker from reality and re-anchor it somewhere else, and that just happened to be this apartment. We got here about a week before everyone else showed up. We were scared they'd find us again, so that's why we've been so hostile and suspicious of everyone. It's why we kidnapped the new girl, to test her story, see if she was tellin' the truth.

But anyway, right before everyone showed up, we did some digging, found out some interesting stuff about ourselves. Dok tested some samples of our cells to see what he could find, and boy was that eye opening. Like our age, he found it out. Want to guess how old I am?"

"Forty-two! That is always the answer!"

[Swith Witherward]

"Ancient or inconceivably young?" Swith ventured.

[Bone Fort]

"Forty-two! That is always the answer!"

"Yes and no. See I'm actually forty-two... days old. I look like I'm in my twenties... ok, maybe not look, biologically I'm in my twenties, but chronologically I'm barely over a month old. So's Totenkopf and Herr Doktor, us three were the first batch. The others are even younger then as, about thirty-one days old, they were the second batch. We're not even 1!... He also found all sorts of things in our cells and such. We do some more digging, we find out the truth. Turns out some military nutcases went rogue and tried to make super soldiers that were immune to supernatural phenomenon and magic, to act as elite hunters to catch other supernatural creatures and magic users and bring them in for study, or kill them, something like that. They spliced some mythical creatures DNA and all sorts of supernatural stuff with some soldier's DNA to make super clones or something, even cybernetically enhanced us a little. Thus, we have increased resistance to odd stuff, which is how I managed to resist Mon's anomaly earlier. So that's why we attack the supernatural residents and try to study them, it's what we were made for... Any questions?"

[Monfrox]

"Forty-two! That is always the answer!"

"I....have one...." "Go ahead, say it." Monfrox cursed herself for what she was about to ask. "Seeing as how I'm a complete mess, but still holding functionality, I think I could do something for you. It may take a while, since I'm not in that state anymore, but I could make you an artifact from one of my anomalies. That's one of the good things about them, and they're scientific wonders! Like the Slug, formed by the Fruit Punch anomaly. The negative qualities of this artifact, such as you are less resilient to burns and acidic compounds, are compensated by the fact that it heightens the coagulation quality of blood. It's not often that one runs into such an artifact, and they pay well for it too." She explained.

"Yes, why do you kill me so much? Most of the mes are asking that in my head and it is rather annoying." NVE said cluching his head.

"No thanks, that's alright. I appreciate the gesture, but you owe us nothing. Besides, because of our nature, it'd have no affect on us and be useless, and we aren't strapped for cash. You should keep it for yourself, it'd do you more good. And as for you..."

He turned around to face NVE.

"No particular reason. I thought it'd be funny.... Oh, and also, you keep trying to take over the world."

"No particular reason. I thought it'd be funny.... Oh, and also, you keep trying to take over the world."

"Ending the world as we know it is easy, surviving my own creations isn't. Yes, because I made myself, I am paradoxicly more dangerous to myself. Where am I going with this?"

[Bone Fort]

"Ending the world as we know it is easy, surviving my own creations isn't. Yes, because I made myself, I am paradoxicly more dangerous to myself. Where am I going with this?"

"I don't know. I should probably add "You annoy me" to the reasons I kill you list."

[Monfrox]

"Alright then, just head out, I'll be fine. I need some rest." Monfrox said as she slowly got up and walked over to her bed. She sat down and took off her shoes and socks, down to her shorts. She slipped under the covers and tossed her top off, being sure to keep covered. She didn't necessarily care that other people were there when she did, but she needed to get some rest. She popped a sleeping pill and hit the pillow. Her eyes were open though, as the pill hadn't taken it's effect yet. "Such a shame, and I thought you'd ask him to-" "Stop....just, stop...." She whispered before closing her eyes.

[Swith Witherward]

Swith snorted. "You're a construct. Spare me the magic and demons. An amulet would be nothing more than an aspirin to relieve an aneurism, and not even that considering that you, like our own constructs, are immune to magic and supernatural phenomenon. You can not cover up or alter with magic; you must decipher and deconstruct in order to arrange the DNA in a more focused... less chaotic... pattern. However, there doesn't seem to be a reason to deconstruct anyone here."

She sighed and looked at Bone with genuine compassion. "I'm new here. You don't know much about me. You haven't any reason to trust me. I can only tell you that what you are... how you are made and what is hidden within your unique genome adaptations... is something that we have understood and held mastery of for more centuries than I can recall. Before you get your boxers into a wad, I did NOT create you. You bear absolutely no markers of my people or any of the witherwardian colonies. That said, you have GOT to STOP sampling people. You're going at it in the wrong light. As for attacking the supernatural residents... it's in your genes, so to speak. I believe I can help you in that regard, if you'll allow me the honor."

[Bone Fort]

"That's alright, we're good. It just comes from being paranoid. And no, at no point did we suspect you of making us, we know who did it, it's no one you know, they're dead now. And as to how we were created, we know that too, and it is not in any way that you could understand. It's with all sorts of craziness and mad science, even NVE would probably not get it. Herr Doktor knows it though. We are nothing like you've met before."

"Ja, it's true."

He glanced back at Mon, asleep in her bed.

"I think we should be leaving now."

[Swith Witherward]

'Enlighten me... and for fuck's sake, will you tell me your names? I'm getting tired of pointing and saying 'hey you' to you all." She smiled at them.

[Bone Fort]

'Enlighten me... and for fuck's sake, will you tell me your names? I'm getting tired of pointing and saying 'hey you' to you all." She smiled at them.

"It's who and what... Na, I'm just kidding. I'm Bones, he's Totenkopf, and that's Herr Doktor. And take my word for it, you don't want to know about Bone Fort science. Herr Doktor can tell you later if you like, but I think we should go for now."

He gestured at the sleeping Mon.

[Swith Witherward]

"Agreed," she said. "I'm going to finish off a coffee cake. I've extra plates, if you want some to take back to your apartment." She walked out, stretching and yawning.

[Bone Fort]

"Agreed," she said. "I'm going to finish off a coffee cake. I've extra plates, if you want some to take back to your apartment." She walked out, stretching and yawning.

"That's alright, the cake is a lie."

The three of them put their headgear back on and return to their apartment.

[The BranRiech]

"Well that turned out more peaceful than I imagined. I thought someone was going to kill someone for a few short moments there. Ah well, Thannks for helping me with those Spec Ops, sorry I brought a bit to much of my past with me. I'll be downstairs. If anyone wants to marvel over a nice gun collection with me, you know where I am."

[Dabfia]

'Enlighten me... and for fuck's sake, will you tell me your names? I'm getting tired of pointing and saying 'hey you' to you all." She smiled at them.

*Walks out of the tunnel in the floor*
*Shuts door on tunnel*
Didn't i already tell you my name?

[Swith Witherward]

Swith laughed. "I don't think anyone but NVE has told me their names."
