well it seems Ienzo that we were mistaken Can you hear me all along ADAM is more than a simple science experiment that caught on

it is a

GIFT

[laughs hysterically]

[OOC: Use of ~~Applied Phlebotinum~~ ADAM, a serum created to give the user powers (e.g. a hand that shoots ice/fire/lightning/bees) has cause Bioshock!Even and Ienzo to take a flying leap off the deep end.]

[EDIT: Unfortunately, I need to sign off for the night. Crazy-Even will be back tomorrow.]

[choking on panicked breaths, not sure what to do or say]

N-no, no you're crazy, c-crazier than him. Don't t-touch me, stay away.

but you're young...you have so Listen to me! I wasn't always much potential!

[jerks at the splits in speech]

Th-there's two of you--?

[and if there's one thing that Vexen passed on, it was natural curiosity ]

[eyes light up] And at long, long last someone is observant enough to noti two is such an inconvenient number, though we will be two for not much longer. to be rid of the conscience and be free to explore...

[tries to steady his breathing, and not panic]

You shouldn't h-hurt the other--

you have no RIGHT to command me, experiment! mere one. first. failure, certainly. two not two but three and four and...

i remember now. i REMEMBER. copy-creature, covering our tracks...experiment one. Riku! [cringes] There are no words to express my thrill at finding yet another silver boy. you worked well for us protected the girl did all you were commanded to do marionette's got strings but the ones with the power are the men above the stage

[bites his lip; Vexen sounds so familiar when he speaks like that, but there's that edge of wrongwrongwrong]

[stiffens; the only girl he knows is Namine]

You'd better never hurt Naminé.

[and it's true, she was kind to him- if anyone dared hurt her...]

oh i have no intention of hurting the delicate little creature. where i came from no where EVEN came from we ran from her...type. afraid of needles, you say?

[flinches at just the word needles]

my, you certainly are different, puppet. fear is a terrible imperfection...though not without its methods of correction. [slowly goes for the needle]

[d-doesn't move, can't move, years of conditioning have trained him that moving hurts and he'll be in trouble if he does.]

see? improving already. however, i believe in taking precautions. [ice crystals zip toward Riku, anchoring him to the ground. they're almost past his ankles when they suddenly stop.]

[knees falter] Riku, listen to me. Listen closely, while we can still communicate. I am not to give myself EVE, nor am I to give you ADAM. Is that [twitch] perfectly clear?

[doesn't get it, doesn't understand just wants to go]

Get a-away.

[grits his teeth, struggling with the ice for a moment but all he can think about is the fact last time he fought, all it was was painpainpain]

[not as planned] I-I mean you no harm, Riku. Don't struggle; you will simply exhaust yourself. The ice will melt... [hesitantly] in time.

[begins reaching for the bag] No, no!

[jfkljds; STRUGGLING.]

I'm n-not staying here! I hate yo--

[stops, just goes silent, eyes wide. This is the most he's ever spoken out against the other]

[forces himself away from the bag of EVE, though he still glances back from time to time]

You hate me? That seems a harsh response, given that I have not met you before today, not to mention the fact that this is one of the first times I have been able to speak to you without...interruption.

[swallows]

I don't w-want to talk to you. I don't care.

[panic!] If this is somehow connected to-to Vexen, I can assure you that he and I are different. Vastly different. [has really never met a Vexen, so he's making this up as he goes] Whatever it is that he did, it was. Not. Me. Do you understand, Riku? Experiment One?

[it's at the name, Experiment One, that he just shuts down; shivering and going dead quiet. Vexen had been very, very methodical with breaking him down]

[realizes what set off the reaction. doesn't really want to open old wounds, but these are dire straits.] Experiment One, assess your condition.

[there's pure fear in his eyes, but his voice is oh so bland]

Minimal pain from scratches, slowly numbing feet, though I suspect by the time it melts I shall remain in decent condition.

What else do you require of me, Master?

[this is not right, his conscience (accursed thing) is launching a full-scale assault, but this is the only way] I require a bit of assistance regarding the white bag to the left of you. Do you see it? Do you think you can reach it, Experiment One? [stares longingly at the EVE hypo, no NOT a good plan]

[nods slowly, gritting his teeth as the ice digs into his ankles, but does it, holding the bag out]

Here, Master.

[backs up quickly, but keeps staring at the bag] No, Experiment One! No, that is not what I wanted at all. Move that bag in the opposite direction. Away from me.

[...blinks, drawing it against him]

You asked for it, Master. What shall I do with it?
