Of course, the clashing of legs swept Zera to the floor, as the Immortal desperately pulled out her knife, hoping to stab it in Irina's organic leg.
English
-
[i]Irina didn't have an organic leg - instead, just another cyborg one. Yet the knife pierced it still, as Irina's eyes widened before she slammed the boot of her other foot into Zera's jaw.[/i]
-
She rolled away, blood forming around her nose and mouth. She couldn't exactly say anything without spitting out a little bit of blood..but she did say something. "Perhaps we can finish this?" She replies, desperately punching Irina's but a few times.
-
"...If you want.." [i]Irina sighed, circling around Zera's fallen body as the two-foot blade from earlier exited her forearm. She avoided Zera's attacks; she was ready to end her friend's pain.[/i]
-
She...simply closed her eyes. She kinda knew she was defeated...and was waiting for the killing blow...if it came.
-
[i]Irina sighed after a moment, before..[/i] "...After this, well...I'll see if you want to chat." [i]She muttered, before slamming her elbow down upon Zera's neck. The impact snapped Zera's neck in an instant - a painless death. And soon, Zera would re-awake, out of the simulation..[/i]
-
(An unknown number of hours later...) Zera woke up with a jolt, searching around for Irina...or anyone.
-
[i]Irina was napping in a chair next to where Zera had woken up, lightly breathing in and out. She wasn't snoring - well, she was a little, but it wasn't too noticeable.[/i]
-
Zera had looked to the woman, slowly standing up and walked to the Vileblood. She lightly shook her, trying to wake her up.
-
"...Wha- Oh." [i]Irina jolted awake for a moment, her eyes widening in surprise as she almost swung at Zera, but stopped and went paler than usually as she realized that it was her friend.[/i] "Erm...sorry, just a natural reflex...I think."
-
"Trust me...that usually happens k me too...have to always be ready for the moment when assassins come for you." She responds, turning around to Irina. "I believe you mentioned something about talking?" She responded.
-
"Oh, yeah.. If you want to chat, of course. We can get a quick drink or something." [i]Irina crossed her cybernetic arms, flexing her fingers out of boredom as she looked up at Zera. She clearly didn't mind chatting for a bit with a dear friend.[/i]
-
"Of course. Although I'd prefer myself some tea; alcohol isn't in my list of things to do today." She responds, seemingly dropping something in front of Irina while rushing out the door.
-
"Yeah, just.. Some tea." [i]Irina murmured, watching Zera leave before looking down upon the object that the woman had dropped.[/i]
-
It seemed to be some sort of note for Irina...almost as if it was...intentional.
-
[i]Sighing, the Vileblood leaned down, robotic fingers clutching the note as she opened it.[/i]
-
It was a simple note...containing a location in Khalosh...and the 54i symbol being proudly displayed on the note. [i] "After we talk, Irina-san...if you need any assistance with anything...(despite grudges from the past...)... the Immortals will be willing to help you. Free of charge. Just...meet me if you need anything or...want to talk." -Zera[/i] Zera came back, two cups of tea in hand.
-
[i]At the note, Irina merely sighed and nodded, sitting back down and pocketing the note. As Zera returned, she looked up at her and smiled, nodding in her own form of approval.[/i] "Thank you. For...well, the note, and the tea."
-
"It's no problem. Long as neither of us are dead, we're fine." Zera responds, smiling a bit.
-
"Don't think that we'll be dying soon... You didn't forget to poison the tea, did you? I should've noted that I prefer arsenic in my tea." [i]Irina sarcastically mentioned, while she wouldn't have expected Zera to poison her. She wouldn't have blamed her - hell, she would've congratulated the woman whenever she found out, before falling over, dead.[/i]
-
"Nah...even if I did, a good mix of iron, argon, and some poison ivy usually gives a good...kick to the person." Zera had joked, taking off her mask, drinking herself some tea. "So...what would you like to talk about?" She asks.
-
"Well, I...have a favor to ask. About Arianna. Assuming that she comes around, I...need to fix my mistakes. Partly the reason that I had Arianna and Isaac created: not only did I want a true family, I...I wanted them to perfect my wrongdoings. All the deaths, the things I've done to ruin lives, I... ...It's hard to explain. But I was thinking if you could speak to Arianna, when she returns? And if she could even help, maybe join the Immortals? She doesn't appreciate the Dojo...especially after how it has treated Isaac."
-
"Of course. But just know that some will still see her as dojo浮渣 (Dojo scum). However, I will protect her from them. Just...tel me where she is." Zera replied.
-
"That's the issue. She's currently on an island filled with zombies. It's fine though...she'll come back fine. Came back from Yharnam, so she should be good."
-
"Zombies? Interesting..." Zera had replied. "I would send the Immortals there...maybe find out a way to revive the dead...but I've already had some of them rest out a new kind of technology. Do you remember the Infested?"
-
"Infested? I'm pretty sure that I do, actually. Care to explain the...idea?"
