CHARACTER CHAT!!!!

Wisp
I quiet, slump to the floor and curl up, watching him. "What's your name?" I ask softly.

Cricket met his eyes and studied him, cocking his head. He was looking at Emily's papa. That was a twist. "Just out of curiousity...what if she /did/ find out?"

He sighs. "Even i have a superior, Cricket. He's a very punctual man, very traditional. She already has powers. She finds out there won't be a reason to cure her. He'll take her from me and twist her into another weapon. He's been wanting to try the technique on a biological human, the scientists don't wish to tamper with human rights though, so they've settled for cloning and engineering."

Senet
"Senet Durand," I answered. "Youhrs?"
This was really, really weird. Here I was, restrained and sitting in a cell with a dead creature, getting acquainted with the lady who'd stuck me in here in the first place. How messed up was that? Just how insane was I?

hiiii

((Hi!

Oh, and as a reminder: Senet's name is pronounced "suh-nay du-hrahn."))

Wisp
"Sen...Senet..." I test it out. "What does a name mean?"

Cricket looked away. "A'right," he said. "I can keep a secret."

"Glad we've reached an understanding," he says with a small smile. "Do you have any questions about all of this? Must be an interesting point of view, an outsider on all of this."

Senet
"'Ell eef I know. To me, eet's zjust zat. Me, and nozeeng mohre. I am Senet, a boy fhrom Fhrance. I am not Pierre, nohr am I Stephen, but I suppose I could be and steell be ze same pehrson. What does eet mattehr? And 'Durand' ees seemply ze name of my fameely. As fahr as I'm concehrned, names ahre zjust collections of lettehrs. And you know, you steell 'aven't told me youhrs."

Wisp
"I do not have one. They call me Wisp, but that is just a codename. Not a real name..." I roll over on my back and watch him upside down. "Do you do not feel any sort of individualism from your name? Nothing concrete?"

Cricket paced slowly around the room, looking around. "Just one. If I'm such an outsider...and if it's such a big secret...why'm I 'ere, talking t' you?"

...Hello?

Senet
"Not hreally...except fohr my last name, I guess. Eet's...well, eet's a constant hremindehr of my old life. Ze one I'll nevehr be getteeng back. Not because I'm 'eehre, mind you; I lost zat life neahrly nine yeahrs ago. ...Heh, why am I even talkeeng about zees? Eet's not like you cahre, ees eet?"

"You've experienced it, heard the tales. You're not exactly clueless about all of this," The Director says, watching him.

Wisp
"Ayakashi chose a name for a reason. I want to know why," i say simply.

be back later

Senet
"Maybe she deedn't want 'ehr codename to deefine 'ehr? Je ne sais pas. Maybe she deedn't want to be hreminded of 'ehr time 'eehre. Ze name 'Ayakashi' might evoke strong, painful memohries, as much as 'Durand' does fohr me. ...Okay, zey're probably much mohre painful fohr 'ehr, but equally strong. And anyway, zat's not hreally a question fohr me to answehr. I bahrely know ze gihrl."

I nod and stand weakly, reaching through the bars to take his arm. We teleport to a room. "You can leave. Why do you stay?"

Senet
"I'm 'opeeng to find my fhriends," I answered simply.

Wisp
"You barely know them," i say confused.

Senet
"So? I 'ave a sense of duty. Zey 'elped me out, a-and gave me a place to stay, so I want to...to 'elp zem een...any way I can. Eet's..." I trailed off. I was already pretty lightheaded from the bloodloss, and it was only getting worse. The crimson liquid which I rather needed inside me as opposed to out was soaking through the leg of my pants, a dark stain against dark clothing.

Wisp
I watch him curious. "Its...?" I ask, wanting him to continue.

((I daresay, I'm enjoying this interaction xD))

Senet
I shook my head in an attempt to clear it, but it didn't do much to help. Actually, it just got blonde hair in my face. I whisked the golden strands aside with a small gust of air. Okay, whoah, that made me dizzy.
"I...euh, I can't hremembehr now... Wouldn't 'ave been a problem eef you 'adn't...eef you 'adn't shot me..."

Wisp
I look at him blankly until something clicks. "Humans bleed to death?"

Senet
"Yes, yes zey do."
