Should one say that life has become interesting when the word 'life' may not apply?

[an interesting philosophical question, to be sure; Phantom almost felt the query to be humorous. it would be humor, acceptance, or some form of horror as a response to his situation -- and he declined to feel any sort of horror, thank you very much ( Read more... )

 [Standing on one of the outer side streets is a red reploid with large cannons. A very VERY loud reploid with large cannons. And he's rather cheesed off (and worried but he's trying not to show it). He's also yelling at the top of his very loud lungs.]

HARPY! LEVIATHAN! ZERO! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?! Geeze, this was suppose to be a easy mission... GUYS ( Read more... )

[air is not supposed to warp and pixelate like that, oh no. but then, a plaza shouldn't have new arrivals plummeting through the pixelation to crumple nicely against the ground, either.]

... oww ...

... What --!

[it shouldn't have been a surprise -- given where he'd been -- that when the ground gave way he'd plummeted straight through to some ( Read more... )

[X made his way through yet another entertainment store in search of the means to carry out his plan ( Read more... )

[Waking up after witnessing a big explosion was never a particularly pleasant experience, and the fact that Leviathan had no idea where she was didn't contribute to her mood. On top of that, her comrades were nowhere to be seen. Under any other circumstances, the blue Guardian wouldn't be too concerned about their whereabouts-- after all, the Big ( Read more... )

[Up on the landing pad for the transport ships -the highest point in Giga City- an X is sitting on the edge of the platform and staring down at the clouds as they drift by beneath his feet. He's just doing what he does best.

Over thinking things. Over thinking them straight into the ground.]

[Air City's plaza whirls into existence around him at a dizzying pace. Or at least that would be how Phantom would describe the sensation, the tangible world coming back to him in a rush ...

[She's had a night to let things sit, and Alia's a little more rested...though not by much, since keeping herself away from working on the problem doesn't mean she could keep herself away from thinking about it, and in many ways, thinking about it without doing any real work on it just makes things worse ( Read more... )

[Consciousness, just as sweetly as it had once faded in and out for years, suddenly engulfs him, and sensory perception sings as the shimmering orb materializes. Swaying left and right, the elf attempts to make heads or tails of its surroundings.

No. Not "its". His.

Awareness settles in, the cloud cover of empty digital persistence parting to let in ( Read more... )

[He wasn't sure how he had ended up on the roof of the high rise (office building?), just that there had been an explosion as Zero struck down Omega. Everything after - during, Harpuia decided - had been a blur and no matter what he did, his memory would yield no more information. Could it have been a result of the Resistance repairing him (here ( Read more... )
