DeathMatch: Tournament of Blood

[Shenzii]

Blaire began to laugh. We don't store or process. We imagine things as they could be or wish to be. But you... You had a nightmare... and those are terrifying at times." She stroked what nanites created for 'fur'.

[Entaru]

((In a technical sense, Y is right about dreams.  Ask a scientist and they will say dreams are used to store and process the information about the day.  In a more emotional sense though, you are quite correct.))

"Nightmare...I've never come across that word.  It is not in my on-board memory.  Why would someone's mind do that to itself?"  Dreams were an entirely strange concept to Y.  He didn't know why...but something told him that this 'nightmare' was something to be heeded.

[Shenzii]

"Usually Nightmares are a sign... a fear of losing something, or having lost." She looked at the floor. Her gray blue eyes drifted back to meet his.

[Entaru]

"Losing something..."  Y didn't continue the thought.  He didn't want to tell Blaire that he had seen her burning alive in front of his eyes, only to be taken away by who knows what.  That creature...it was almost like it was Chrono.  But something felt wrong...why would Chrono hurt Blaire?

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Blaire walked in and sat next to him. "He is... paranoid. He doesn't trust me at all." She looked at Y uneasily. "You don't look so good."

(Did I imagine a whole page where we talked about trust? ...anyway )
As he reached the Training Hall, he caught Sasha just finishing up, and threw a fireball at her. She moved away just in time to see where it came from and then stared at Chrono with hostiliy. "What the heck, I didn't de-" Chrono walked up to her side and side-kicked her in the gut, bringing his leg over her while she doubled over and then brought it down. He could feel something wither away inside as he continued to beat up Sasha, but that didn't stop another facet that enjoyed exacting vengence.

After he finished beating her down, he grabbed her by the back of her neck and threw her to a wall on the right. "Give Hera my regards..." he said before raising a hand towards her right shoulder, and firing a concentrated beam of black fire with enough force and heat to burn off her shoulder. Her screams were only heard by herself, Chrono, and the audio that came with the security camera.

He left her to suffer as he walked out of the Training hall, and didn't even feel any pity or regret at his method before turning the corner and heading back to his room.These fanatics are over-stepping their boundaries... just need to knock them down a few pegs.

[Shenzii]

Blaire shrugged her shoulders and continued to stroke his 'fur'. She cleared her throat and began speaking again. "So, anyway... Is there a reason why you're bringing up nightmares and dreams?" She asked.

[Entaru]

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about."  He was telling the truth...at least most of it.  If it was a nightmare then it was probably just that, a nightmare.  Still...the strange figure worried him.  "It's just that...I've never dreamed before.  Organics won't remember some dreams but I never even had one.  Why are they showing up now?"

[Shenzii]

Blaire couldn't answer. She had no idea. She didn't know his programming or whatever it was called that made him up. She looked at him. "I honestly have no clue." She quickly gave him a smile. "Come on... We need to both cheer up a bit." She held out her hand awaiting his own.

[Entaru]

Y took her hand and squeezed it gently.  "I suppose you're right.  What's your idea to cheer us up?"

[Shenzii]

"I'm not sure... But maybe we should go relax... Under the tree on the hill again?" she smiled and let out a soft laugh. Her mind was focused on Chrono, but she wanted to break free from everything that had just happened.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

After spending a few moments to think on his next move, Chrono came to the conclusion that they wouldn't have a good reason to leave or stop their searches if their clergymen were still safe in their suites. He opened the door again and went through the only upstairs that was availible: a very long set of stairs that seemed to circle unto the stratosphere.

[Entaru]

Y's eyes lightened a bit.  "Alright...let's go."  Suddenly an idea came to Y.  "Before we do though, I have a question.  Have you ever flown?"  Y tried to hide the benevolent mischief in his voice but failed.

[Shenzii]

"Uh, once... A while ago with Chrono. Why?" She asked looking at him, pretending she didn't know. She smiled and laughed.

[Entaru]

Y's eyes lit up a bit.  "Well then, I doubt that he would have done it THIS way"  As he emphasized 'this', Blaire felt herself become weightless and floated off the ground.  "I have a better idea than the hill.  We let the wind take us to our destination.  What do you say?"  Y floated off the ground himself and laid on his side in midair.

[Shenzii]

"I suppose.. As long as I don't fall." She smiled and wiggled, unbalanced.
