Henrex - Last Thursday at 8:22 PM
Location: Vastime Nation, The Tundra
Time: Midday
Date: 10/5/2417
Character Henrex Astillon
Taking a deep breath, Henrex sighed as he silently walked across the currently empty lands of Vastime. It wasn't common for it to be empty, but it certainly wasn't rare, either. Today was just one of those days. It was this silence that was causing his mind to be much more active than usual, thoughts of what had happened, and what was to come. It was nothing short of pure, utter chaos. Stepping into the cafe of the Wolf, The Tundra, Henrex softly tapped on the frame of the doorway
"Knock knock," The male said quietly, before stepping in.
"Probably not a face that you want to see, but...just listen to me for at least five minutes. Does that sound ok?"(edited)

Terrifying Wan - Last Thursday at 8:29 PM
Mirja was doing prep work. A lot more work than it used to be, but then so was everything in the world it seemed. Rolling towards the backroom with a pile of dirty plates, the door opened, and before she had finished spinning around, the voice rang out. A voice that made her soul frown. So Henrex quickly got a plate thrown at him, whizzing through the air with precision that had not been lost in the slightest by the explosion. And should that plate be dealt with, then there was a second hidden in the shadow of the first. The Shadow Shuriken Technique, replicated with plates. And that rose the question of what the Wolf was doing with Ninja tricks
"I would see the rotting, maggot infested cadavar of Caanan before I saw you. What do you want?"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Thursday at 8:52 PM
Sighing, before his arms moved upwards, swiftly catching both plates with each hand -- feeling a blood vessel break in the process -- before looking at them. A smudge on one of them. Taking the end of his cloak and softly rubbing the plate clean, before stacking the two plates on top of one another, then stepping into the backroom, setting the dishes next to him, before looking at her current state, then looking at the dirty plates that she was cleaning.
"You look like you could use some help." He stated before handing the two plates that she had thrown at him back to her. "These ones are clean."
Creating a stool behind him, before sitting down, Henrex looked at the Wolf, having looked over the wheelchair that she was in multiple times now.
"A corpse is more enjoyable than me?" He mumbled, before shrugging. "I just wanted to thank you...and apologize -- for a lot."
"I want reconciliation, Mirja."
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Thursday at 8:57 PM
[I was hoping he'd pick up on Ninja technique. It would have made cool plot]
Henrex - Last Thursday at 8:58 PM
( He did, but it's just not at the forefront of his mind right now. )
Terrifying Wan - Last Thursday at 9:00 PM
Mirja glared at him as her plate ploy failed, and just rolled ino the backroom to fill the sink up
"I'm fine. I don't need anything remotely resembling help" She told him, dropping the plates into the water and looking up to him "Caanan knows me about me than you do. Plus, wouldn't give me strange, sudden and entirely out of the blue love confessions, nor try to guilt trip me into accepting said confession by telling me his tragic backstory, nor completely miss the point and just be a whiny bitch in response to someone telling him to stop being a whiny bitch"
Mirja turned to the water, grabbed a cloth, and started on the dishes "Just know if I could, I would be punching you in the face right now. But that's out of my hands, so you''ll have to settle for a mean glare"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Thursday at 9:15 PM
Stubborn as ever. Watching her glare at him, before denying his request for help, repeating the same lines that she loved spitting out every single time. Sighing, before putting a hand to his face, his face turning red as she did repeat the same mundane, Henrex lowered his hand, seeing that she had now turned towards the water.
"What happened to you, Mirja?" He asked, his gaze softening as he crossed his arms.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Thursday at 9:17 PM
Mirja shrugged, washing the dishes and putting them on the rack
"Shit got fucked. I tried to unfuck it. Shit got triple-fucked. And then I went boom. Ka-fricking-boom. Honestly though, I am surprised you came here on your own two feet. Didn't go explode and get a wheelchair yourself. With your lock of mimicing my every move, I was sure that'd be something you'd do"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Thursday at 9:35 PM
"Despite what you may think, I don't follow everything you do. I would be in a lot worse of a situation if I did." Sighs again, before rubbing his temples
"I know that I did a lot of regrettable things back then, a lot of which I'm...really embarrassed and ashamed of myself for, but that's beside the point." He said, before looking at the soap water.
'You're gonna regret this.' Kyoki chimed in.
'I can't really make this any worse, can I?'
"I don't want you to hate me. I want to at least try...to be a friend, Mirja."(edited)
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Thursday at 9:43 PM
Mirja let out a giggle at the idea of him following everything she did
"Yea, dead for one. An Asesino de lobo Cero would make a proper mess of your pretty face. To say nothing of having to go toe-to-toe with an Atlas, without your magic ninja crap" She carried on doing the dishes while Herex talked, and then looked back up at him "I don't hate you, Henrex. The people I hate, and six foot under. Unless your Caanan, then I guess you are more about, what...eighty five foot under? The point is, if I really hated you, you'd be dead. Regeneration wouldn't save you from my Tundra Lotus. As for trying to be a friend, why?"
She rolled back from the sink and shook her hands off, faster than most humans could hope to shake hands. While her strength was shot, she barely had posthuman durability, and she couldn't even walk, Speed was who she was "When you had Azela, I felt pretty safe to be your friend. But then you let what is literally condensed evil talk you out of that. So now why do you want to be a friend?"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Thursday at 10:35 PM
Henrex had to agree with Mirja at that point. If he had followed everything she did, he would probably be dead...several times over. Watching her turn and wring her hands off, Henrex's eye twitched in sadness at the mention of Azela, before his eyes closed
"A lot of reasons. Namely because I'm not the same person that I was before. I've done a lot of thinking, and a lot of contemplating. I suppose, if anything else, because I just want to be kind."
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Thursday at 10:42 PM
"Yes you are, though. Changing your personality, changing your hair, changing your diet, it till leaves you the same person at the end of the day. You might act different, dress different, look different, smell different, but you are still you. Just a better version of you. Or a worse version. It all depends. But honestly, if all your thinking, and contemplating has let you here just to be kind, then it can lead you right out the door again because I don't need half-arsed two-bit bullshit sympathy. My life has not had a gaping Henrex-shaped hole that was so needing to be filled. A valid reason and a good explaination why I should trust you not to send me another letter so soppy it's a miracle the thing stayed in one piece, then I'll listen. But 'just coz, lel' is not your best work"
@Henrex
OCTOBER 6, 2017
Henrex - Last Friday at 9:31 AM
As Mirja was speaking, there was a loud groan that came from the back of Henrex's mind, before he put a hand to his face, pinching the bridge of his nose. To this, two voices spoke simultaneously as Henrex opened his mouth, one of them being Henrex's own, along with a much older voice, sounding as if it was speaking through a filter.
"It's so difficult to work under these conditions."
"You want a reason why you should trust me not to send another letter like that? It's simple, Mirja."
His eyes opened, glaring daggers at the wolf
"I don't love you. I care for you as a friend, and comrade. Nothing more, nothing less."
He would then stand, before allowing the stool to dissipate
"I didn't do this to give you sympathy, nor was this what all my thinking and contemplating came to. As I said, there's many reasons why I did this."
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 9:52 AM
Mirja looked up at Henrex, and flicked her eyebrows. He really had changed. By this point he'd usually be brooding and trying to fling tragic backstories at her. It made her smirk at the fact that the Raven had actually grown a bit. His two-voice trick was interesting, but then Henrex had so many things under his belt it didn't faze her these days
"Well, good. Then we are friends. Now, did you come here for the cafe part of the cafe, or the Mirja part of the cafe?" Mirja was rather blunt and sudden with the whole affair. As if that was literally the only problem that stood in the way of the two. But then everything about Mirja was blunt and sudden, and if Henrex was surprised by that, he was not paying attention
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Friday at 1:59 PM
Sighing in relief, Henrex found a large amount of his stress dissipating, softly rubbing his eyes as a result of this. However, the next thing that she said was indeed blunt and sudden but that was Mirja. He knew that about her. But, the second part to what she had just was what caused him to be confused. But, he went with it, allowing both his question and answer to flow into what he would say next.
"Well, if the 'Mirja part' is talking to you, then I'd say both. "
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 2:01 PM
Mirja nodded, and finished washing the dishes, drying her hands on the apron. As cute a her Maid's Uniform was, that was what the apron was there for, after all "Ok, then go sit down and order something. And I swear, if you pick Wolf Surprise I will obliterate you with the Einjarhar Mech that the Vanguard have just finished"
@Henrex
Spooky Monster Waifu - Last Friday at 2:18 PM
(sorry to but in but that last part made me laugh)
Henrex - Last Friday at 2:27 PM
"...Wolf Surprise? I'm guessing that's something reserved for certain people...?" The male questioned, before tilting his head in confusion, unsure of what she was even talking about.
But, the incentive not to ask was him getting chased down by a mech of some sort that the Vanguard had recently finished. So, with an eyebrow raising in suspicion at what she had said, Henrex just waved his hand.
"Well, I won't press into...whatever a 'Wolf Surprise' is." He said, before his body disappeared, reappearing on the shadow of a chair as he took off the cloak, folding it twice over, then sitting down, exhaling quietly.
*'That went a lot better than I thought it would.' He thought.
'At least your used your brain before your mouth. You had to rethink what you were going to say ten fucking times before you actually said it, Nōtarin.' Kyoki commented.
'Are you going to help, or are you just going to be a bother?' Henrex said, rolling his eyes at the painfully obvious fact that he had come up with.
Silence. At least that shut him up.
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 2:31 PM
"Actually, it's a drink anyone can get. But it is a surprise, and I would have to be surprising, and you would whine because of the surprise. And I don't want to listen to you whine" Mirja was a girl who never spared anyone's feelings when it came to what she thought about a person or current situation
And then, a few minutes later, Mirja came out of the backroom. Out of the scrubs she used for after-hours cleaning, she was in an immaculate uniform, with a black skirt down to her ankles, and a white apron covering half of that. Soft, frilled silk made up the uniform, and she even had the head-piece to go with it. Clearly, this dress was of such a calibre it would reach a price nearing what the shop made in a week
"So, have you made your order?"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Friday at 4:57 PM
While it was only a few minutes, Henrex had found the time useful to read a few pages of "A Book of Five Rings". A book that had slowly become ever more of his fascination as he sought out to learn more from one of his now deceased master. The quotes and lines that had been intwined with the writings of Musashi had captivated his mind more than ever. Again, even if it had only been a few minutes, he still found the time to squeeze in his reading. So, when Mirja exited the backroom, now in a new, immaculate uniform, Henrex nodded once.
"Raspberry tea, please."
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 5:02 PM
Mirja scowled a little. She was entirely hypocritical, disliking males unless she really trusted them, but also liking their reactions to when she actually tried to make herself look good. And Henrex could have been looking at a log, for all he reacted. So scowls
"Raspberry tea. Anything else?"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Friday at 5:09 PM
Seeing her scowl out of the corner of his eye, Henrex put his bookmark in, shut the novel, before setting it down, before smiling softly
"A smile from you, perhaps? You already look nice, and you're ruining it with a scowl. Everyone looks better with a smile, Mirja."
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 5:10 PM
"Well maybe when a girl comes out with a beautiful dress, and styled hair, some manner of reaction might make her want to smile"(edited)
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Friday at 5:12 PM
"I wasn't looking at you until now. You do look nice, Mirja."
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 5:16 PM
Mirja preened, her tail swishing egotistically as she was praised
"Hmm, of course I do. I'm Me, after all" She then turned and went back into the backroom to make the rasberry tea
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Friday at 5:23 PM
Shaking his head slightly as he watched the notions Mirja went through as he praised her, before opening his book again.
'Egotistical as usual, it seems.'(edited)
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 5:28 PM
Mirja returned with a mug of sweet smelling tea a good few minutes later, and placed it on Henrex's table. A warm, beaming smile coming from the Wolf, like a happy Maid
"Usually I'd pop a curtsy, but situational modifiers put the DC way past my ability"
Henrex - Last Friday at 5:47 PM
"Arigato, Mirja. No need for a curtsy." He said, before taking a drink from the mug, accidentally spilling a bit down his chin, not used to the size and shape of the mug.
"Damn it..." Henrex quickly creates a towel and wipes his lower jaw off
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 5:49 PM
Mirja watched Henrex slop the tea and just gave him a deadpan glare. Such an act clearly feeding into the theory that Henrex was totally useless
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Friday at 5:50 PM
( Wait, this isn't like a normal mug? )
( Like this? :wt: )
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 5:51 PM
[Like that]
Spooky Monster Waifu - Last Friday at 5:53 PM
(cute)
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:01 PM
"S-Sorry, just...a bit out of it today." As he said this, his face turned red, cursing himself mentally at his mistake, before dissipating the towel after he finished, then taking another sip from the mug.
'Gods, that was embarrassing...'
'Pay more attention next time, idiot.'(edited)
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 6:03 PM
Mirja didn't change her deadpan stare......
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:04 PM
Henrex: -waves his hand in front of Mirja's face- Mirja?
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 6:05 PM
Mirja stared
"You sure you should take your attention off the mug?"
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:06 PM
Henrex: What about the mug? -looks at it-
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 6:07 PM
"Well, you slopped it once. For a highly skilled and well coordinated Ninja and Shinigami of the Stealth Force, that has to mean the mug is alive and has an evil desire to spill it's contents, no?"
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:08 PM
Henrex: I'm just out of it today. A small slip up, that's all.
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 6:09 PM
"If you can't handle a mug, how will you handle an Arrancar. Or some Kvorisi Capture Team?"
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:12 PM
Henrex: Kvorisi Capture Team?
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 6:13 PM
"Mmm, Kvorisi is the name that the Caanan remenants have taken to calling themselves. And they kidnap women for the Eve Project. Ham-fistedly botch it more often than not, so they don't have Eves so much as they have comotosed women in suits"
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:22 PM
Henrex: Surprised that the remnants of Caanan hasn't disbanded by now. They're awfully persistant.
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 6:22 PM
"Group of nutjob scientists are doing nutjob things. They are hardly going to go work at mcronalds"
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:25 PM
Henrex: Fair.
Terrifying Wan - Last Friday at 6:26 PM
"One Cheeseburger. Would you like a tortureous genetic restructring with that? No? Only fries then"
Henrex - Last Friday at 6:38 PM
Henrex: Er...ok then.
Henrex - Last Friday at 7:06 PM
@Terrifying Wan
OCTOBER 7, 2017
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 6:35 AM
"Is how the Caanan people would be if they got a job in fast food. This is me making a joke! Do the laughing!"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 1:10 PM
Henrex: -smiles softly, before chuckling- You come up with the craziest things sometimes, Mirja.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 1:11 PM
Mirja shrugged softly and smiled "Well, you are also crazy. I mean, you look at a psychopathic Wolf with accute homophobia and think 'I want to be her friend'"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 2:42 PM
Henrex: It's far from the craziest decision I've made, though.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 2:47 PM
"If possible suicide by Wolf is not your craziest decision, you kind of need to fix your life up a little"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 2:48 PM
Henrex: Trust me, when you've lived for 800 years, you tend to do a lot of crazy things.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 2:54 PM
"Death by Defenestration is certainly a crazy thing" Mirja sipped a cup of her own drink, and smiled softly "Not that'd I'd do that here. Repair would be expensive"
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 3:02 PM
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 3:25 PM
Henrex: -raises an eyebrow, before taking a cautious sip from his cup- I assume people have caused trouble here, before?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 3:26 PM
"Nobody that lived long enough to talk about it"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 3:27 PM
Henrex: ...Fair point. But, there has been something bugging me since I got here...who taught you how to throw those plates like that? Only a ninja has been able to do something like that.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 3:32 PM
Mirja smiled and her tail swished playfully "Ahh, that would have been Esmi. My anti-Caanan travels took me to the house of Boss. Never knew his name, he was always just, Boss. He had a made called Esmi, and just before Boss got killed, he ordered Esmi to lead me out of the sub-terranian city and back to saftey. We traveled a few weeks across land, and in those few weeks we talked. She was a Ninja from the Koga Clan. Boss' grandfather had saved her grandfather's life, and so Esmi felt herself honourbound to Boss' service. And now she was in my service, she taught me a few of her Ninja tricks. I wasn't subtle enough for all of them, but I learned a few"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 3:33 PM
Henrex: I see...did this kunoichi ever talk about the Iga ninja?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 3:36 PM
"She said that the Iga Ninja were sort of rivals that they competed against, because nothing breeds progression like adversity. Why?" @Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 4:26 PM
Henrex: Well, they were the ninja clan that I trained under. I was wondering if you would want to learn a few things that I learned. There's some hand-to-hand techniques that I think you would like.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 4:29 PM
"Ahh, no. After we ran into a group of Caanan's Perfectus that had been tailing us, she said teaching me any hand-to-hand techniques would be like teaching a fish how to swim"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 4:33 PM
Henrex: Are you sure? There's bound to be something that I can help you with.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 4:34 PM
"There is no doubt you can help, but at this point, I've mastered six terrestrial styles, and made one of my own. So, more hand to hand is like throwing water in an ocean"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 4:47 PM
Henrex: The true master is the eternal student. You can never stop learning, Mirja. But, if you insist, I can try and help you with your...current situation.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 4:49 PM
"I can dig that, but there is only so many different ways you can learn to do something before anymore ways to do that thing are moot, and extra baggage. What fight would I get in that would require me to cycle through all six styles and the style that I have personally made? And if seven styles are rendered moot, chances are the next dozen will be as well"(edited)
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 4:52 PM
Henrex: A sound mindset, but I insist you at least give it a chance. You won't find anything new if you deny everything presented you. These are not styles, just techniques that I believe you would benefit extremely from.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 4:56 PM
"Not styles....Henrex, what is a style, other than a collection of techniques? Still, you'll have to hold on regardless. I'm pretty sure that one of the prerequistes is being able to walk"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 5:00 PM
Henrex: Well, that's where we can start, getting you on your feet again.
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 5:01 PM
"You, know why I can't walk, right?"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 5:02 PM
Henrex: Because you screwed something up, tried to reverse it, and made it tenfold worse. You didn't explain anything else, other than that.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 5:07 PM
"No, that's why I lost my powers. My legs don't work because I lost my powers. And my legs were powered by a power"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 5:13 PM
Henrex: So, you can't control your legs?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 5:17 PM
"I can control them just fine. But it's more like an engine that doesn't have enough fuel to tick over. It's still structurally sound, but just, can't do anything"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 5:18 PM
Henrex: Then we just need to find a new source of fuel, in your words.
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 5:18 PM
"Or regain it's old one"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 5:25 PM
Henrex: Well, what was the old source?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 5:27 PM
"The Earth-Defying Array I taught you, to power your Tulpa. I eventually solidified Tulpaing to a point I didn't need the kickstarter so I transferred it over to my Legs because they were not able to subsidize entirely off reiatsu and biology"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 5:46 PM
Henrex: -puts his hands together, setting his chin on them- Well...I have multiple solutions for this.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 5:49 PM
"They are all useless. Honestly, you think I've just sat around eating nachos? I went to see Zeda, went to the Karakura Hospital, broke the legs of a Caanan genetisist. Even found Unohara. They all say the same thing. Whatever I was doing to keep them up in the first place, is the only thing that will keep them up. Everything else will be temporary measures of varying degrees of eventuality. And some might even cause irrepairable damage"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 5:57 PM
Henrex: I'm not talking about solutions where you go to others. I have solutions that I can perform myself.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 5:58 PM
"I'm not following. Aren't you others, from my point of view?" @Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 6:06 PM
Henrex: Technically speaking, yes. But, I'm saying that my solutions might yield some sort of results.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 6:07 PM
"Claiming you know better than frigging Unohana about this stuff? But fine. Go on, what is your solutions?"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 6:15 PM
Henrex: I never said I know better. But, I digress. First solution I have is to charge your legs with electricity, or make a current that will let you control your legs manually with them.
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 6:20 PM
"So some manner of controlled muscular spasm? I don't think that would be very comfortable. Plus, where would I get such a tremendous charge from to mantain all the time? Lose the charge for a second, and I am on my arse"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 6:33 PM
Henrex: I could contain the charge in a way that could keep it from screwing with your muscular system, as well as constantly keep a charge. A container that has a portion of my energy, which alows you to control your legs, and get a portion of your speed back.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 6:40 PM
"That's a lot of energy you are dedicating just for me to get my legs back. Also yes, it is a lot of energy before you say. My body is voraciously greedy. I don't want to think on the kind of charge it would need. Plus, if it's soul-powered based it might not work. Since I exploded, the internals are going absolutely fucked up nutjob. Arianda tried doing some healing thing and it just exploded in a none-damaging but rather flashy way"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 6:47 PM
Henrex: It would just be an electrical current that would connect to the nerve endings in your legs, acting as new, makeshift nerves. It wouldn't connect to the rest of your body, so I doubt that it would take a lot.
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 6:48 PM
"Forgetting the fact that my body takes about twelve to fifteen times the everything to opporate?"
Henrex - Last Saturday at 6:50 PM
Henrex: Well, then I could always go with my next solution -- code a new set of legs for you.
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 6:55 PM
"Legs that not only work to exacting specifications of my body's needs - at peak performance, mind, something that is impossible to gauge currently - but are also as bloody Perfect as the ones I've got on right now? Caanan might have been a absolute fucking arsepart, but he was unparraleled when it came to making biological things"(edited)
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Saturday at 7:24 PM
Henrex: Mirja, if they were perfect, you would not be in as bad of a situation as you are now. I may not be the greatest inventor, but code is a lot more complex and capable than you think. Especially with my Cyberbrain.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Saturday at 7:30 PM
"Actually, I am in as bad a situation because they are perfect. And the rest of my body isn't. You can certainly try, but do you have a surgeon to take my current legs off and your....totally biological code legs on?"(edited)
@Henrex
OCTOBER 8, 2017
Henrex - Last Sunday at 1:13 PM
Henrex: I have some level of medical training. I can heal you if anything goes wrong. I'll probably get a some help from others to make sure things don't go...too wrong.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Sunday at 1:15 PM
"The exact reason for my legs, in computer terms because you seem to like your toys. Is that they are an 800V CPU with only a 500 PSU"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Sunday at 3:16 PM
Henrex: No need for that. I won't be getting that technical. Just going to put additives into the main code of the legs.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Sunday at 3:22 PM
"I was..trying to put into your words why they don't work. I...maybe...hmmm........they throw five shuriken and I only have three shuriken"
@Henrex

Henrex: I can assure you, Mirja, it's not impossible to do this. I'm a lot more capable than you give me credit for. If anything, I can at least get you walking, potentially running again. I'll have to work up gradually from there so I can get more information about how I can improve it, so that I can keep it stable at your peak performance.
Terrifying Wan - Last Sunday at 4:26 PM
"I'm not saying it's impossible, I am just trying to impress onto you how difficult it will be. I don't want to be up and walking. I've never gone in for half measures. Niflhiem made sure my chair can handle some decent speeds if it really needs to. I will be on my feet when I regain my abilities. I don't want to shuffle about like an invalid because I tried to scoot around that"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Sunday at 4:30 PM
Henrex: You won't be able to get your abilities back right away, Mirja. This entire thing will be a gradual process. The first thing I'm working towards is getting your speed back. Which is more important to you, Mirja Eeola? Your powers, or speed?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Last Sunday at 4:40 PM
"Honestly, darling. I sort of kicked the habit after reaching the Plateu of Eternal Apex. The drive to get faster was consuming, overwhelming but when I finally hit there....it just went. Left me content and happy. I think there is something about the scale. Every step up was a step I could take, but now, the gulf I am faced with is endless. And so there is to drive to cross it. So, Powers. Because, speed will return with my powers. A little secret, that speed wasn't al naturale"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Sunday at 4:42 PM
Henrex: ...Very well then. This makes things a little bit harder, but I will certainly try my best to help.
Terrifying Wan - Last Sunday at 4:53 PM
"Ever known anyone to have their Inner World explode? I've been trying to do a few things, but nothing is going"
@Henrex
Henrex - Last Sunday at 4:54 PM
Henrex: Again, I'll do my best to help.
Terrifying Wan - Last Sunday at 4:59 PM
"I've never been one to sugar coat, so I won't know. Do yo have any specifics, or are you just giving a non-discript exclaimation of aid?"
Henrex - Last Sunday at 7:58 PM
Henrex: I don't have any examples, since I don't really know the extent of the damage, what all happened as a result of the destruction, or anything of the like. I can't really give anything that might be of assistance. But, non-discript or not, I still intend on making an attempt.
Henrex - Last Sunday at 8:42 PM

Terrifying Wan - Last Sunday at 8:50 PM
"If you attempt to cook without any knowledge, then you'll burn down the kitchen. So while I appriciate the knowledge, I don't think I'd like someone poking around in something that they have never experienced before"
Henrex - Last Sunday at 9:13 PM
Henrex: -shrugs- I said that I can't give anything of assistance because I don't know anything about what's going on with your Inner World, other than "it exploded", which doesn't help.
OCTOBER 9, 2017
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 7:15 AM
"Well there isn't much more I can say than 'it exploded'. When I go in there, there is a dozen fragments floating around and I can't see what is on any of them, nor influence them in any way. It's thanks to Hvit that it didn't all just shatter into innumerable pieces and kill me outright"
Henrex - Yesterday at 11:22 AM
Henrex: So, you need to piece together your Inner World again?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 11:24 AM
"Yes. However I start to manage that"
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 11:26 AM
Henrex: Can you still communicate with your Zanpakuto spirit?
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 11:27 AM
"No. I've only got Hvit on my shard"
Henrex - Yesterday at 1:02 PM
Henrex: Hm... -puts his hands together, staring at his mug for a period of time, before switching to his book-
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 1:20 PM
"Yea, that was my thought. But then I realized I can't just ignore it"
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 2:00 PM
Henrex: -his eyes light up as he stares at the book- Perceive that which cannot be seen by the eye... -closes his eyes- But, what isn't being seen...? -mumbles to himself-(edited)
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 6:35 PM
Mirja sipped her drink for a moment, and then suddenly slammed the cup down on the coaster "Invisible Book! That reminds me!" She then frantically wheeled off to the backroom, turning off the lights as she did, and leaving the cafe in darkness
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 6:39 PM
Henrex: -Snapping out of his thought process and jumping from the sound of the cup that Mirja held being slammed against the table, causing him to go wide-eyed for a moment, before quickly being engulfed in the shadows, causing Henrex to blink twice, before taking the cloak behind him, wrapping it around his body and leaping across the shadows into the backroom, before taking it off and slinging it over his shoudler- Mirja?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 6:41 PM
Mirja totally deadpanned Henrex's appearance in the backroom, and rolled out back to the table, sipping her drink, and putting a book, and a sort of torch on the table
"Honestly, he's so excitable.."
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 6:42 PM
Henrex: -quickly leaping from the shadow in the backroom to the table, Henrex sat back down- So...what was all that about?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 6:45 PM
Mirja opened the book, and showed him. In pitch black darkness. Maybe she just thought he could do reading like that? "Normally, it's a cool book with Tai Chi stuff. But recently, I accidentally discovered there is something else underneath. Something written that only shows up in ultra-violet light" *Mirja shone the light on the book, and words appeared. Across the top in big words was the title, 'Shinmeiryuu'
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 6:46 PM
( Does that translate to anything? (Specifically if it's Japanese) @Terrifying Wan )(edited)

[Gods'-Cry School] @Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 6:54 PM
Henrex: -with his Cyberbrain's Night Vision activating, Henrex gazed at the words that had showed up in the light- Gods' Cry School?(edited)
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 7:00 PM
Mirja nodded "mmm MM! Madam Tsu told me it's a really old sword school, used by The Isarako. They poured their soul into their sword, and used this school to hunt down the man-eating Demons. They, could be Hollows, or they could as easily be Demons. Nobody knows, it was like nearly three thousand years ago. But you seem to really like your sword, and you like learning things, and this sounds a really cool sword school!"(edited)
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 7:09 PM
Henrex: Amazing...three thousand years old. Even older than the Kojiki. I...I'm speechless! The age, what this is...it's amazing!(edited)
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 7:10 PM
"Madam Tsu said there were no public living practitioners of the art today. And she wouldn't breach the trust of those who wished to live in private. So I couldn't get a demonstration of it like I could with her Tai Chi. But it certainly looks like a high-powered Supernatural Style"
Henrex - Yesterday at 7:38 PM
Henrex: Quite. Especially if it was combined with other sources. -sparks a few bolts of electricity on the tip of his finger, smiling softly to himself-
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 7:43 PM
"It does actually require you to have a Dantian. Well, some of them do. Some of them are just enhanced by your Dantian. Like ketchup on chips, vs chips"
Henrex - Yesterday at 7:43 PM
Henrex: A Dantian?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 7:54 PM
"Ahh...ok to explain that I might as well explain the whole of Tai Chi" Mirja rolled away to flick the lights back on
Henrex - Yesterday at 7:56 PM
Henrex: -patiently waits for her to turn the lights on, memorizing the name and translation in the meanwhile -- which wasn't hard, given the simplicity of it all-
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 7:59 PM
Mirja rolled back to Henrex, and grinned "You may have seen it already. Maybe. I taught it to Ritsuko and Steiner and more recently to Ceal. Basically, there is an invisible energy inside every living being's body. And a smart Martial Artist found a certain set of moves a very long time ago, that allows you to become aware of this energy. And once you are, you can practice using it and moving it, and once you master moving it, you can bring up energy from your Kidney with the same technique. Once the energy is brought up, it is drawn into your Dantian, a sort of metaphysical energy center. From there it is refined into useable energy. This book details the nine most common Martial Techniques used in Tai Chi. The hidden book shows it's brother, Shinmeiryuu. Basically Tai Chi For Swords"
Henrex - Yesterday at 8:04 PM
Henrex: I see. I'm not the best with hand to hand, so swords would definitely be a great alternative. -nodded slightly at the explanation-
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 8:06 PM
"I loved it because I'm a badass with hand to hand. Didn't get too far into it though, so I couldn't play with the big guns before I blew up. Splitting Wulin Legs, or Breaching Heavens Gates would be fun to play with"
[Wulin basically means The Land in Chinese]
Henrex - Yesterday at 8:15 PM
Henrex: -chuckles lightly- I'm sure you would be even more lethal and dangerous with those.
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 8:24 PM
"I fought a guy with those techniques. His Dantian rating was Yu-Shan. Which, is the highest you can get. And fucking hell, he was a monster of a man to kill. Dodged my first rocket punch clean and easy"
Henrex - Yesterday at 8:25 PM
Henrex: -his eyes widen- I can only assume what they could do in your hands, with your physiology.
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 8:33 PM
"I know, right? Madam Tsu gave me a demonstration of her powers once. Normal human, stupidly peak physical fitness but no powers beyond her Tai Chi. Used a Rank 1 technique and put her fist through a rock, twenty foot wide"
Henrex - Yesterday at 8:34 PM
Henrex: Gods...
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 8:36 PM
"But then, she is Black Gold 5. A step and a Star away from Yu-Shan. I am feeling the gulf of distance between Silver 3 and Silver 4. So how she managed to get to Black Gold 5 and only be a hundred and thirty five...certainly screams volumes about her talent. And she is intimidating, hence the title..."
Henrex - Yesterday at 9:55 PM
Henrex: Er...what do those mean?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 9:56 PM
"Dantian rankings. Starts at Bronze 1. Then there are five ranks per Realm. Silver Realm, where I am. Gold Realm, where a friend, Random, is. Black Gold Realm, where Madam Tsu is. Then Yu-Shan. Nobody has managed to hit that in a while"
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 9:58 PM
Henrex: I see... is Bronze 1 the starting point for everyone?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:05 PM
"There were some Astotic techniques but the Elixiers require ingredients that don't exist anymore. And the ink for the required tattoos is only just being recreated by Madam Tsu. Incidently, Ceal is the one testing that part of it. For now, yes. Bronze 1 is the starting point for everyone"
@Henrex n
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:06 PM
Henrex: So, how do I go about beginning training for this?
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:07 PM
Mirja tapped the book "Detailed writeups and diagrams inside. I'd show you myself, but they sort of require standing up"
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:10 PM
Henrex: ...Ah. I see.
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:11 PM
"After you do the Wudang-an-Han Katas, you'll get your Dantian. The Three Forms are detailed inside the book. Also, the two methods are cultivation, and the recipe for some basic bronze-level Elixers"
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:12 PM
Henrex: You only need to do them once?
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:14 PM
"Wudang-an-Han Katas unlock your Dantian. You don't need to do them after that. You can, they are pretty good for physical fitness, but don't serve anything for your Dantian"
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:21 PM
Henrex: I see...I will keep that in mind. -slowly turns the cover of the book, quickly scanning the page's contents, before turning the page-
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:22 PM
Mirja sipped the cup softly, and nodded "We are high level spiritual beings. So with the Martial Meditation you can get fighting equal tiered opponents, don't be surprised to rocket through the Bronze Realm. Tai Chi was never designed for beings of our level"
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:28 PM
Henrex: How much more difficult is the next realm from the bronze? -still scanning the pages, using his Cyberbrain to memorize them for reference, if needed-(edited)
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:31 PM
"Considerably. It's much broader, in scope and scale. Think of Bronze as the tutorial level, and Silver is the main Open World game"
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:40 PM
Henrex: Ah...always have to love those difficulty spikes.
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:43 PM
"If everyone could hit Yu-Shan in a week, World War 3 would have ended in a handful of days"
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:49 PM
Henrex: Fair point. But, to have it be so hard in the second realm seems ridiculous. It should be a gradual process. -shrugs- That's just my view, though.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:50 PM
"It's not so hard, Henrex. You can get from Silver to Gold with, a few months to a year of solid work"
@Henrex
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:56 PM
Henrex: Well, it's certainly a lot easier than the training I faced as a human. -smiles softly- You're right. Can't be that hard.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 10:58 PM
"Then you hit Gold and...well, thank the stars you're immortal and can go for a week without sleep because a normal person would take about twenty years to get through that"
Henrex - Yesterday at 10:59 PM
Henrex: Well, just because I can do it does not mean it's healthy. It's...far from it.
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 11:01 PM
"Well then you are weedy and limp-wristed. A Week was what I could do before starting to get any adverse affects. I could pull another two weeks before getting tired enough to collapse"
Henrex - Yesterday at 11:04 PM
Henrex: Those are by far from my limits, but it's still unhealthy.
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 11:06 PM
"For me, back then, staying up four days, was equivilent to someone else staying up eight hours. Plus Ultra put me on the far edge of physical stamina"
Henrex - Yesterday at 11:10 PM
Henrex: -shrugs- I don't see how long I can go. No point aside from screwing my body up even more.
Terrifying Wan - Yesterday at 11:11 PM
"And intimate knowledge of your limits"
OCTOBER 10, 2017
Henrex - Today at 11:16 AM
Henrex: What use will knowledge of my limits in lack of sleep do for me?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 1:54 PM
"'Right, I know I can stay up this long, so if I really need to stay up for an extensive amount of time, that is the limit, so I can plan around that' or something"
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 2:37 PM
Henrex: I suppose you're right...but, another time. No need for something like that now.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 2:42 PM
"No, I don't expect you to stand here right now and stare at the wall until you pass out, counting the hours. You've got a lot of work to be doing" She tapped the book again with a grin "If you can develop this well enough, Madam Tsu will be your girlfriend"
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 2:42 PM
Henrex: ...What?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 2:44 PM
"The only Shinmeiryuu swordsman in the entire world that is actually public with their ability. Why, you'd be mobbed by thousands of Cultivators. And who's the boss of them all? Madam Tsu would love you"
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 2:46 PM
Henrex: -rubs the back of his neck nervously- I-I doubt that.
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 2:50 PM
"The Cultivator culture has always been very loosely tied together. Madam Tsu manages to keep them sort of together because she is a Black Gold Cultivator, the strongest person in Wulin. But you? You would be a rallying point around which she could use to draw many reclusive Cultivators out of hiding. ANd entice the young generation with flashy sword skills. She's perfect for you. Beautiful, elegant, and a touch mysterious"
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 2:51 PM
Henrex: Who even is this "Madam Tsu", Mirja?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 2:55 PM
"Ahh. Ci Lan Tsu. She's the head of the Wandering Bazzar, and defacto leader of Wulin. I met her in the Russian Tundra, and we hit it off. She's really cool"
Terrifying Wan - Today at 3:05 PM
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 3:14 PM
( TBH, I though she was talking about Tsubine o_o )
Terrifying Wan - Today at 3:16 PM
[Mirja and Tsubine have never met. Plus, Tsubine doesn't know Tai Chi. Madam Tsu is a Black Gold 5 Cultivator]
Henrex - Today at 4:52 PM
Henrex: I see. I wouldn't mind meeting them at some point.(edited)
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 4:57 PM
"She's got great purple hair as well. I love her. Still, I guess you are on your way. Ninjaing to do, damsels to save. Sword art to learn"
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 5:57 PM
Henrex: More of just the sword art to learn. -looks to the book- Er...am I meant to take this?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 5:58 PM
Mirja nodded "Yes. It's a big book, two big books. So you need to study it a lot"
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 5:59 PM
Henrex: Alright. I assume there's a guide to how to start?
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 5:59 PM
"The book is the guide on how to start"
@Henrex
Henrex - Today at 6:00 PM
Henrex: ...Yeah, I should have figured that much. -facepalms, before standing- Thank you, Mirja. I really am grateful of this.
Terrifying Wan - Today at 6:01 PM
Mirja nodded "I'm sure Madam Tsu will be grateful as well. Nice ass, good looking, finally kicked the habit of being a morbid bitch...."
Henrex - Today at 6:02 PM
Henrex: Er...you're...really set on that, aren't you? Her and I?
Terrifying Wan - Today at 6:02 PM
"Maybe sex can keep your morbid away"
Henrex - Today at 6:03 PM
Henrex: -sighs- Again, I doubt that it would happen.
Terrifying Wan - Today at 6:04 PM
"The only way it's garanteed it won't is if you tell her right off you aren't interested in women"
Henrex - Today at 6:12 PM
Henrex: -shrugs- Alright.
Terrifying Wan - Today at 6:14 PM
"And don't pass her off before you see her. Madam Tsu is ohh....You've got a chance with her. So take it"
Henrex - Today at 6:48 PM
Henrex: If you say so. -picks up the book, looking over it, before taking out the Container and digitizing it into the storage device, before tucking it away and sliding the cloak over him-
@Terrifying Wan
Terrifying Wan - Today at 6:53 PM
Mirja waved and rolled back to the backroom, leaning out from a bit of the door and grinning "Bye-bye"
Henrex - Today at 6:57 PM
Henrex: Bye! -steps out of the cafe, before opening a Senkaimon and stepping into it-
