[09:38] SH:"This is... really great," Her smile started to fade, as she walked down the steps into the main floor, where Milo had walked in. She looked around, before speaking up "There's an outlet around here right?" she said as she dropped the backpack she had to her shoulder, ready to pull out her set-up and set everything down.
[09:41] TG: Milo moved over to where she had put her bag down, and opened up a small panel, revealing a small outlet. "Lots of these around her, I like to have electronics around often." He noticed her bright appearence had become sad "What's wrong dear?"
[09:45] SH: Vena shrugged, half-heartedly, before she moved over to the outlet "Lot's of things, but I guess worrying about them won't help much," she pulled out no less than three laptops from the bag she was carrying, along with various other smaller electronics and gadgets. She pulled out a power strip and began hooking them up to the outlet, turning one of the laptops on. While it began to boot up, she tu
[09:45] SH: rned back to Milo "So, did anything happen between you and Sister? How'd you loose her?"
[09:47] TG: "Well as it turns out, she hits almost as hard as my Uncle, but I give her credit where credit is due" He undid his green bowtie and took off his shirt, revealing several pin-point brusies that were beginning to flower out into a dull green. "She's got preccssion down to a snap, I mean Uncle usually leaves large messy messes, but she's sharp" He sat down against the wall and sighed with relief and
[09:47] TG: the cushioined building.
[09:53] SH: Vena frowned, turning back to her computer and opening different programs and files, as to check that they were all there before she continued. Under her breath she mumbled "Yeah... and next time she'll have no problem knocking your head off..." though, she stopped herself and turned back to Milo "-And, is Uncle going to track us here or anything? Aren't they going to know we're in the general bui
[09:53] SH: lding?"
[09:55] TG: "Uncle, whilst clever as he is, is a man of muscle. He can track us, alas when it comes to the city, it becomes a bit more difficult for him to do anything without getting arrested." He fliched as he began to poke around at his own body, checking if everything was okay. "Also why he loves the wild so much, less police, hot damn the brusies are on my back too!" Milo looked almost pleasently surpris
[09:55] TG: ed "Your sister is quite powerful I'll give you that"
[10:03] SH: "That's why you shouldn't fight her," Vena snapped, continuing to type away at her computer, she stopped, realizing what she said, and sighed heavily "I mean- why do you have to put yourself in danger for my sake?"
[10:05] TG: "We're friends aren't we?" Milo stretched out his arms, wiggling his fingers "and so everything works, now for the legs" He shook out both his legs before walking around in a circle, then walking over to get his cane "And now I have to use this for a reason other than fighting, irony"
[10:13] SH: Vena didn't say anything, she was obviously bugged by what had happenned, no matter what Milo said. She never wanted to fight, nor did she ever want someone to face what she has to face. It never dawned on to her what the consequences might be if she were ever to get out and rebel. Would she really be saving herself, if it meant that she had to rely on other people who would get hurt because of he
[10:13] SH: r? Almost all at once, the pent up emotions that she had been holding on to for the past seven years of her life had begun to hit her. Tears began to run down from her face, but she was quick to try and hide them from Milo with her arms. Turning her head away from him, she started to process what it actually means for her to leave her sister, what it will mean for the rest of her life, if her sist
[10:13] SH: er never stops looking for her. Wow, everything sucked right now, and Vena had trouble holding that all in, but she was adimant to continue with her computer, like nothing was actually wrong.
[10:16] TG: Milo watched her patiently, he watched her break down and had no clue as to what was going through her head at the moment. But he hobbled over, dropped his cane, and wrapped his arms around her. Incasing her in a big bear hug. "It's alright, it's okay, no worries"
[10:19] SH: "No it's not!" she blurted out, still covering her face with her hands and arm. Ugh, she must of looked like a total dork at this point, but, the emotions were swelling and she didn't know what to do otherwise. Before long, she was able to get some of the sobs into coherrent sentences, and she finally asked Milo "Do you even know what I was doing up there?!"
[10:20] SH: ((ALSO, you see paperman if you watch wreck-it ralph))
[10:21] SH: ((it plays at the beginning))
[10:21] SH: ((I didn't even know that, or if you can watch it online or something, I was just surprised))
[10:21] SH: ((anyway))
[10:24] TG: Milo swayed her a bit, he gripped her hands and slowly brought them down from her face. "Darlin, I have no clue what so ever. I know it wasn't pleasent, I know that you didn't like it, and I know since I got to know you I wanted to help you" He put on his best smile and looked deeply into her eyes "All that matters is that you're safe now, in our tiny bedhouse"
[10:25] SH: She tried to look away "But I'm not! I never will be!"
[10:27] TG: "You're with me darlin, of course you're safe" He kissed the knuckles of her hand and leaned forward, touching her forehead with his. "I'll protect you"
[10:28] SH: Vena bit her lip, before saying softly "But what if you get hurt..."
[10:29] TG: "Hurt? Look at me, I'm indestructable!" He put on a rather silly grin as he said this, given his current condition.
[10:30] SH: "But you're not," she looked down "I don't think Sister and Uncle are going to be the only ones looking for me... that's the thing,"
[10:31] TG: "Well who else is looking for you?" New information was always interesting, but with so many varaiables, they might have to move again.
[10:32] SH: ((okay so, the whole deal with Vena is that she's like a government test subject or whatever, she was born and raised in a weird enviornment so that she could be a skilled fighter, like her sister, who was in the program before her. Do you think Unlce would have any connection to anything like this?))
[10:32] SH: ((just wondering))
[10:32] SH: (( like didn't you say he used to be a spy or something))
[10:33] TG: ((That would be interesting, especially since Milo is about weird science and such))
[10:33] TG: ((And yes, HEADCANON ACCEPTED))
[10:33] SH: ((apfppfpft, okay))
[10:34] TG: ((OH Wouldn't that be interesting if Milo had some info about her, as he could have hacked Uncles thing))
[10:34] TG: ((None the less it's your turn))
[10:35] SH: "The Government," she was being completely serious, and thought maybe Milo would laugh a bit at it. She sighed, before adding "... I don't think Sister would stop looking for me, ever,"
[10:35] SH: ((Nono, that'd be cool THATS WHY HE CONTACTED HER))
[10:35] SH: ((INN THE FIRST PLACE))
[10:35] SH: ((BECAUSE HE READ ABOUT HER))
[10:35] SH: ((AND HE WANTED TO HELP))
[10:35] SH: ((OMGMGGMGMG))
[10:35] TG: (( YES BECAUSE HES ALREADY IN LOVE)))
[10:35] TG: ((GOODNESS))
[10:35] TG: ((YES))
[10:36] SH: ((this is the best))
[10:36] SH: ((omfg))
[10:36] TG: "Oh yes them, no I don't think we have to worry about them" His tone was of suspicsion and a hint of fear, but confidence on the outside. "And why do you think they would be after you in the first place?"
[10:38] SH: She eyed him carefully before speaking, not breaking eye-contact "I lived in that village because I was supposed to, as in, train there. To learn how to fight, like my sister did..." she stopped herself, wondering if she should continue or not, coming out of her mouth, it did seem kind of far-fetched.
[10:39] TG: "And did you? Learn how to fight that is" His voice betrayed him, it was of interest not concern. Whilst his motives were purly out of concern, seeing as they were safe they weren't the first thing on his mind.
[10:41] SH: "Of course," she said quietly "Of course I did, I never wanted to, but-" she started to sob again "My sister was so accomplished, and they thought, they thought that I'd be just as good! But, I was really young, and-" at this point, it became unintelligable sobbing, as she finally gave up and hugged Milo back, sobbing all over his shoulder. "I was so young and, they had just died and-"
[10:41] SH: ((aaah ;_
)
[10:43] TG: "Oh come here" His heart was beating a mambo out inside of him, his arms holding her close. After all this thyme, all those years, his little heart was about to give out due to all the excitment he was feeling. "You don't have to tell me anythign you don't want to"
[10:46] SH: "Noo- I haven't told anyone. That's why it's coming out like this," she retorted "I was just, really young, and my sister didn't care. She never did, since she already had stopped caring, like her job demanded she did..." Vena stopped, losening her grip on Milo and just leaning on him, before burying her face again "I never wanted to learn, and I didn't realize until it was too late what I was cap
[10:46] SH: able of..."
[10:48] TG: Milo slowly sank to the ground, allowing her to lay on him with ease. "I really wish I could have helped more, I'm sorry" He hesitated for a moment, but he kissed her forehead softly. The emotional toll, along with the intense pain, was harsh on him. Milo had begun to tear up a tad, remember days gone by.
[10:51] SH: "Why couldn't I just have lived a normal life? Without all of this..."
[10:53] TG: "I'm sorry, I really am" He recalled his memories of digging through files on his Uncle's computer, the images, the words, and the videos. All of them so terrible, it was beyond words.
[10:53] SH: ((ahah oh wow that's feels right there))
[10:53] TG: (( IT HURTS))
[10:54] SH: ((jeeeeez))
[10:54] TG: (( BUT ONWARD))
[10:56] SH: "Not like you could of done anything," she chuckled, closing her eyes "Though... I do actually, feel safe," she mumbled over her words by the end of the sentence, but Milo should of still heard. She was actually ready to fall asleep on top of Milo, right then and there.
[11:00] TG: Milo on the other hand was close to having a slight mental breakdown. When he was younger, seeing those images had caused him to ask his Uncle who she was, which lead to a severe beating. Thus over the years he had to sneak all the information that he had gained about her. Dealing with the fact that he had no clue where she was, he had spent years of his life learning how to hack into electronics
[11:00] TG: on the simple basis to help her out in anyway possible. Eventually the need to help this girl turned to affection, and eventually love. Milo knew everything about
[11:00] TG: Vena, yet she knew almost nothing about him. Sadness struck him much more often than he'd like to admit
[11:01] SH: (( ; _
)
[11:01] TG: ((RIGHT?!))
[11:01] SH: (( ;;;; ___ ;;;;; ))
[11:01] SH: (( ;;;;;;; ;; ; ; ; ;; __--- -SA DF_DS_F _ ___ P ;;;;; ))
[11:01] SH: ((okay))
[11:02] TG: ((Okay?))
[11:02] SH: ((okay!))
[11:02] TG: ((oh right then))
[11:10] SH: Vena looked up to Milo's face, sensing something was wrong. She didn't move anything else but her eyes, and she wasn't quite sure what Milo became tense about, and she was almost too afraid to ask. She looked back down, thinking maybe what she had said had triggered something for him. Vena moved backwards, sitting up and looking away from Milo, and back at the computer. Trying to alleviate the sit
[11:10] SH: uation, just a tad, she chuckled and told Milo something, "You know, when my mom was still alive, she'd always tell me that my Sister was a superhero, and that's why she never visited, and I guess, to some people she is," she looked down, that didn't help at all, Vena, just stop talking.
[11:12] TG: "It's fine darlin, just some bad memories comin back up" He apparently wasn't a good liar in this kind of situation, as his face was clearly in pain. "So, tell me about yourself?" Despite knowing nearly everything, he loved hearing her voice not being in pain. Seeing her smile and speak about better things.
[11:21] SH: "Well...," she sighed "I've always had a weird life. I lived in complete secrecy until my parents were assassinated, and after that I was brought to live in America with my sister, who, is probably not even my sister. I don't know, she's never actually given me a straight answer about it. I'm, like her though, in the sense that I'm predispositioned to taking pain a lot better than 99% of the human
[11:21] SH: population, and I'm also predispositioned to have a high I.Q. as well, though, both of those things are up to debate," she stared blankly into space as she spoke, even though this was brining back memories, she had never told anyone about this, and what had happened to her had never left her lips, and maybe there was something about it that made it feel a little bit better. A feeling that maybe n
[11:21] SH: ow that someone knew, that they'd care, or at least, know, about her "I had been taught to train and fight since I was five, and I've completely stopped snice last year. I've most of my life in a village where others like me are raised, and if you can't keep yourself in order, then it's not uncommon for someone to murder you in broad daylight, and most importantly, for no one to actually care. I g
[11:21] SH: uess, one of those days, I was hoping that I'd just be murdered, or have some courage to commit suicide, so I wouldn't have to deal with Vera. I don't know, though, really, everything I've experienced since leaving has become really surreal, I don't know which reality is real any more..."
[11:21] SH: ((sorry if my grammars weird or anything ))
[11:27] TG: "Trust me, this is very very real" He was almost afraid to ask, but did so anyway "Did anything ever happen whilst you were at this place, anything good? Like an unlocked door or extra rations or anything like that?
[11:27] TG: "
[11:28] SH: "Yeah I guess, there were always those kinds of days. Though I mostly I just kept to myself,"
[11:29] TG: "Good good, that's wonderful" His small panic attack subsided after that, due to the fact he now knew that he had helped out in the smallest of ways.
[11:30] SH: "Ugh, I'm so tired...," she rolled onto the matress beneath her, covering her face as she layed on her stomach "Having to travel all that way kind of sucked!"
[11:32] TG: Milo kissed her hand once, before passing out onto the ground, pain and exshaustion had finally caught up to him and he could no longer avoid sleeping it all away.
[11:34] SH: "Milo?!" Vena jumped up, as Milo passed out "Oh my god, you idiot..." she rolled back up beside him, looking at his face. She stared at him for a few moments, before laying back down where she was. Whatever, it was his fault for getting hurt anyway. She closed her eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
