H-Hello, everyone.

[A young lady with white horns poking through her bright pink hair appears to be sitting in her Level 2 apartment, with a galaxy backdrop. She fidgets in her seat.]

My name is Nyuu, but some of you may know me as Lucy. If I'm acting different, I can explain, um... [She wrings her hands around in her lap.] There's really no other way for me to say this without making it more confusing, but I have a split personality. The one called Lucy is asleep right now.

[As her eyes become downcast, she takes a deep breath.]

This is something I only learned about a year ago, and I'm still trying to figure things out, but I wanted to warn everyone about Lucy. I've heard in the past that she's... [the lump in her throat goes down] She's killed people before.

[A sad sigh as she sags in her seat.]

I swear I have no control over it, but I'll understand if any of you see me as a dangerous liability after this. That's all I had to say.

[Why does her voice stay the same???]

She won't listen to me, I can tell you that. I don't know if she'll listen to other people, but you can try.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Unconcerned, mostly. Also changing tone is too much work, so bored and flat is the way to go.]

I'll certainly give it a try then... should I meet the other you. Would you happen to know the reasoning or circumstance behind the killing, by the way? People don't kill without a reason.

[Unless they're a legit psychopath, which... is a possibility he won't dismiss.]

[scarredhorns]

That's just it, I have no sure idea of what her motive is. I've asked her in the past through our notes, but she said it was none of my concern.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Hm, there are some interpretations that could be made from what she said, I think.

[Nothing solid, however, so she won't say anything... Also, it's something Soundwave would say himself.]

Since her motive is a mystery to you, all the more reason for me to talk to her and try to understand her. [Could it be dangerous? Possibly, but again the girl's tone remains unchanged.]

[scarredhorns]

If you could share any information you get with me, I would appreciate it. Still, as much as I'd like the help, I don't want more people getting hurt because of me.

Do you really want to meet her?

[peacewithouttyranny]

I'm sure we both don't want people getting hurt or killed. If I could prevent something like that from happening to someone, I would do so.

So yes, I do want to meet her.

[scarredhorns]

I would leave a note for Lucy so she isn't angrily surprised, but at the same time, I'm worried that will give her time to make plans on how to dodge the truth. I could at least tell you about her power, though.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Hm, I'll think of a plan... Tell me about her powers in the meantime.

[scarredhorns]

It's something I can do too, though I've only just learned how. Basically, Lucy and I possess a type of psychic power. We can summon these strange arms--psychic limbs, so to speak--and they're quite strong. Not everyone is able to see them, I've noticed. To most normal humans, they're completely invisible.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Most normal humans... Then what of those who are not humans? Will we be able to see these psychic limbs clearly?

[A bit tentative to share this, but...]

... I have psychic powers of my own, though nothing like the limbs you speak of, as mine is only limited to reading minds and telepathy... Would she be fine with meeting someone with a common power of sort?

[Even more interested in this girl now. Girls, whatever. It's rare to find psychics in the grand universe.]

[scarredhorns]

Since you have psychic powers too, you’re likely to see them.

[Which is a relieving thought. This person won’t be taken by surprise if Lucy becomes aggressive.]

Based on what I’ve heard, Lucy shows more tolerance toward non-humans since we’re not human either, so you might have a better chance.

[The tone of her voice has perked up with hope.]

That’s really interesting, though, being able to read minds and use telepathy, I mean. I’ve never been able to do that, but I can’t speak for Lucy.

voice > video

[peacewithouttyranny]

Oh? [So those horns weren't decorations...] Well, I look... human right now.

[Just to prove it, he'll switch it over to video so that Nyuu can see his young girl avatar. Yup, looks totally human.]

I could meet her in my non-human form, which is my real form, but I'm not sure if she'll be intimidated or not. Besides that, it's easier to walk around here like this. I hope she wouldn't mind it, but I'll be certain to mention my true nature to her.

[...]

It's a painful power to have, I would say. Useful, since I could hear everything around me that most can't, but it's painful having to hear everything around me... That said, I won't be reading Lucy's mind to find out about her motive. [Respect for privacy.]

[scarredhorns]

Your real form? [Nyuu tilts her head.] Lucy doesn't seem like the type to get intimidated easily, but I'll respect whatever choice you make. It's your identity, after all.

[She blinks at first, surprised by the answer, but her expression slowly becomes somber.]

I didn't think of that at first. I'm sorry... Do you not have anyway to block out the thoughts?

[peacewithouttyranny]

My real form is mechanical-- or a robot, I suppose.

[Not a term he likes to use, but it gets the point across.]

Not completely, no. The best I could do at the moment is focusing on one thing at a time... and ignore the other voices in my head.

[scarredhorns]

[Nyuu offers the girl, or robot, a kind smile.]

Well then, whether or not you chose to show your true form, I'll let you know that I'm not bothered by robots. Neither is Lucy, as far as I know.

[Her smile gains a slight sadness to it, though it remains gentle.]

Have you possessed psychic powers your whole life, or was it something you acquired?

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Her question gives him pause. His lips set in a thin line, humming in thought.]

My whole life... I believe?

[He sounds unsure about that himself there.]

[scarredhorns]

You believe?

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Another pause before he speaks again.]

... Can we meet up in person? I would rather share this matter privately.

[Though he's fully aware the bracelet can send private messages, he doesn't trust it as there's still a risk of people prying into it.]

[scarredhorns]

Of course. Where would you like to meet?

[peacewithouttyranny]

Greatmoon Groves. Near the petting zoo.

[Even in human form, he stands out thanks to... the completely blue attire. Shouldn't be too hard for Nyuu to spot him.]


[ooc: wanna take this to the log or action???]

[scarredhorns]

Okay, I'll be there soon.

[OOC: We can move to the log! This one?]

[peacewithouttyranny]

I'll see you there.

[ooc: New log! So it would count for this month's activity check. :3c]
