"Continue to help your friend and Split. That will be enough." Bloodrose says with a small smile.

"Honessstly, my memory for what transpired before X killed me isss a little...foggy." Hyleg shuddered as he mentioned X, granted Hyleg wasn't loyal to Weil anymore, but given that he was killed by him he still felt a little uneasy about the reploid. "But I'll sssee if I can recall anything about them..." He pulled up a chair, sat down in it and began to think.

"...Well, I didn't really interact much with my sssiblings, I mainly invented machinesss and devicesss and on occasion assisted Weil in hisss work when he let me...I remained sssecluded mossst of the time, I ssstill ssseclude myssself in my own lab as a matter of fact. Though I do remember Moirae did defend one of usss during X'sss attack." Hyleg said. "As for Genblem and Moirae specifically...I do believe they got along, most of my sssiblings did...aside from Pegasolta, bit of a snob that one...but he and Lunaedge ssseem to tolerate each other, aside from that, I don't remember much about it..." Hyleg said.

"I see. Thank you anyway." said Puppetman.

"Moirae, I remember you saying before that you are the first reploid to understand magic." said Psi. "Have you ever fully utilzied it?"

"I haven't really needed to." said Moirae. "All I needed to know is how to spin this special thread that I use. I understand other concepts, but I've never pursued or practice them."

"Maybe if you do, you can find a greater purpose." said Psi.

"Maybe." said Moirae. "But I'm not sure if it's what I want. I don't know what I want."

"Now that is a problem." said Psi, pausing for a bit to think. "It seems like you've been detached from everything for so long, things have begin to blur. You can't differentiate your genuine feelings from your hidden ones."

"That's partly right." said Moirae. "But only because I'm not revealing everything."

"I see. Well, we'll continue to move at your pace. I want you to feel absolutly comfortable when you do reveal everything."

"Okay." said Moirae.

***

"Alrighty." said Aquarius as she switched faces. "I'll be the best friends to them you've ever seen!" She then ran up to Split. "How're you, Mr. Mushroom? Feel like playing something?"

***

"Okay, this doesn't look too bad." said Sonia as she got right to work. "This shouldn't take me that long. I must say, besides the string, this guitar is in really good condition. You sure you don't do any maintainence yourself?"

"Well i can handle the electric part....the guitar part however has me all thumbs." Zap says. "I've always left that stuff to A...my Ex." Zap was trying to calm down forcibly right now. "I keep snagging the strings in my hair for some odd reason."



"I'm not really doing anything, just trying to relax." Split says. "That Weil guy made me upset. Umm..I still don't know many games we can play here...not allowed to break people..." Split felt awkward. "Is that stuff why the Jellyfish is scared of me?"

"Y....yes but...your daddy said you're safe so....c...can I play too?" Gigavolt asks in a scared tone.

"S....sure." Split felt more awkward. It was funny that the one guy who could crush him like nothing was deathly afraid of him.

-------------------------------------

"I am sorry about that Hyleg...I truly am." X says. "It never was my wish but...Weil made you all go too far. I had to do something."

"Sure you can play." said Aquarius to Gigavolt sweetly. "I always like new friends. What do you want to play?"

***

"May I ask you a question?" Moirae asked Psi.

"By all means." said Psi.

"Who means a lot to you?"

"Well, there's a lot of people that I really care about. Puppetman, for instance."

"Yo." said Puppetman as Psi made him wave.

"Well, if Puppetman got hurt, would you be hurting, too?" asked Moirae.

"Yes, I would."

"How can you stand it?"

Psi blinked. "I beg your pardon?"

"I can't withstand that pain. It drive me crazy, and I'd do anything to make it go away. That's why I lose control of my emotions."

Psi paused to think. "I see. Moirae, that pain is a part of life. You can't just hide from it."

"I want to, though." said Moirae. "I want to so badly. It really hurts."

"I know it hurts. But you can't let it control you." Psi then put her hand on Moirae's. "That's what I'm going to help you with. You're going to be alright. Trust me."

Moirae just nodded without saying a word.

***

"Ah, I see." said Sonia as she continued to work on Zap's guitar. "By the way, name's Sonia. I'm a traveling minstral. It's nice to meetcha."

"I bear no persssonal grudgesss againssst you, X...in fact, I sssomewhat have you to thank I sssuppose, for if not for my death I would never have been free of Weil, not to mention where I am now." Hyleg said to X. "I do regret working for him...however, affiliated with Weil or not, Death isss ssstill incredibly traumatic either way no matter what sssituation you are in. Needlesss to sssay, now that I have returned from sssuch a ssstate I can forgive you now...but it may take a while before I can feel comfortable around you, no offenssse to you persssonally." Hyleg said.

"If it helps I kinda died too." x smirks. "Take your...time?" X then notices Flame Man walk out of the kitchen.

"Well I just died in the main RP didn't I?" Flame Man sighs.

"WHAT?" Bloodrose was stunned. "Who did it?"

Flame Man grumbles. "Technically I blew myself up but Gareth was the one at fault for it."

"GARETH!!" Bloodrose was now showing more emotion than ever.

Flame Man then waves him down. "As per OOC rules I can remain in play here but don't expect much. Motivation kinda died here. You have been warned." HE then reenters the kitchen.

Oil Man sighs. "Guess I gotta call my bro." He pulls out the phone.

"Wait...which one of us?" Guts Man asks.

"Jewel Man?" Bomb Man guesses.

"Time Man." Oil Man says.

"NO!!!" Guts Man dives under the table. Bomb Man following him.

"What?" Oil Man says, before noticing Hard Man and Savage Man joined them. "Oh come on guys...."

----------------------------------

"Ummmm...I dunno what kinda games we CAN play here...we don;t have any toys for one so no ball or anything." Gigavolt says. "Hmmmm....not enough room for tag."

"Not unless Aquarius can fly." Split says.

"Sounds cool, but nope. Can't fly." said Aquarius. "Wait! What about imitation? We can go around imitating people!"

"I, don't think that'd be smart." said Snipe Anteater, being a passive observer.

"Oh, what's the worse that could happen?"

"You could end up trying to imitate Libra Scales, and in the process piss a lot of people off by singing the Conviction Yamaxanadu song." said Snipe.

"You're no fun." said Aquarius as she pouted. She was still in a good mood, though.

"Yeah, I wanted to see that." said Sonia as she continued fixing Zap's guitar. "Would be good to see Libra taken down a couple of pegs."

"Wait, how do you know him?" asked Aquarius.

"Uhhhhhh... Just in passing. Haha." said Sonia, a bit uneasy.

***

"Alright, Moirae. I'm going to try something with you." said Psi. "We'll continue talking like this, but the next time you start to feel panicy, or angry, or anything like that, I want you to stop, close your eyes, and count to ten. Okay?"

"Alright." said Moirae.

"Now then, this pain seems to dominate your actions, correct?"

"No, I don't think so." said Moirae. "At least, I don't want it to. That's why I hide from it."

"But that still means that it dominates your actions." said Psi. "You hide from it because you don't want to feel it. It's still there at the end of the day."

"I see. So there is no-" Before Moirae finished her sentance, she stopped, closed her eyes, and counted to ten.

"How do you feel now?"

"Calmer. But still a bit disconcerted." said Moirae.

"Good, good. We're making progress." said Psi.

"But there's still the pain. How will this help me?" asked Moirae.

"It's a step in the right direction." said Psi. "It will at least give you some level of control over your emotions. Just keep it in mind as we continue to talk, okay?"

"Sure." said Moirae, although she still didn't feel all that confident.

"Are you okay, Moirae?" asked Psi.

"I'll be fine." said Moirae. "Just thinking."

Things were interrupted by the sound of a jet engine outside. After the sound died down, in walked a dragonfly reploid wearing a green helmet with a red visor.

"Well, this seems like a good place to rest." he said to himself before seeing Fefnir. "Oh, Sir Fefnir. I was unaware that you were here." He was about to salute, but thought better of it.

"Oy, Yanmark!" called Duckbill Mole. "Glad you could join us, mate."

"Yeah, well. I figured I might as well." said Yanmark.

Unbeknownst to Yanmark, he had caught the attention of Iris, who nudged Jet Stingray.

"Stingray, look. Doesn't he look a lot like Yanmara?" she asked.

***

"So, is there anything else you wish to discuss?" Psi asked Moirae.

"I'm just a bit disconcerted that I can't get away from the pain no matter what I do." said Moirae. "Even if I hide, it's still there."

"It's typically not a good idea to ignore things." said Psi. "If something is bothering you, you have to confront it."

"But I'm scared of it. It hurts a lot." said Moirae.

"I understand. And I know it won't be easy. But it seems to me that unless you can confront this pain, you're not going to have a firm control over your emotions."

"There's more to it than that." said Moirae. "But I'm not ready to tell you yet."

"Well, I'm very paitent." said Psi. "You can wait to tell me. In the meantime, I'm going to focus on helping you confront this pain of yours. Remember, I'm here to help you."

Moirae nodded. "O-okay."

***

"Annnnnnnnnd finished." said Sonia, handing the guitar back to Count Zap. "There we are, good as new."

"Hoshit." Stingray says. "It is...one sec." Jet Stingray pulls out his radio. "Mara get your cute little butt down to the bar ASAP. I found him."

------------

Zap takes his guitar and hugs it close. "Daddy is so sorry he broke you. Thank you Miss Sonia, thank you." He then rummages through his pockets. "Crap...no money. I wanted to give you something for your troubles too..."

"Please, you don't have to pay me a single zenny. It's no trouble at all." said Sonia. "Just glad I could help a fellow musician out."

***

"Say, Moirae. I'm just curious. How does that string of yours work?" asked Puppetman. "It can't be easy to make."

"No, it's very simple." said Moirae. "You ever hear the story of Rumplestilskin?"

"The guy who spun straw into gold, right?"

"Yes. Well, this works in a similar way. Instead of spinning starw into gold, I spin life essence into thread."

"And that's simple?"

"Well, not as simple as some other things. Enchanting a pre-existing item is child's play. Making a unique one for scratch takes a bit more skill. But it isn't too difficult."

"I guess this is why I'm not a mage." said Puppetman. "But in all honesty, I'm a bit puzzled. Weil couldn't have gotten access to this stuff easily. Why go through all the trouble of making such ground-breaking technology just for an assassin? Talk about missing the forest for the trees."

Moirae cast her eyes downward. "I wish I knew. Your praise is welcome, but I've been an assassin all my life. How can I become something more?"

"Moirae, we've been giving you that answer the entire time." said Psi. "Something's holding you back. Are you ready to tell us what it is yet?"

"I'm not sure." said Moirae, shaking her head. "It's still painful to think about."

"Well, once again. It's not going to go away unless you get it off your chest." said Psi.

"Maybe a little later." said Moirae.

Psi nodded and smiled. "Okay."

"She was a test model. In essence all the Einherjar were tests for future biometal development. Well partially at any rate. They also exist to show that robots are slaves and they are model slaves. Typical asshole stuff for Weil." X explains.

------------------------

"Really? But that doesn't seem fair. I hate leaving things so one sided...wait...I'll cook you something." Zap suddenly stands up, looking determined. "At least let me do this to make me feel better. Tell me what you'd want and I'll make it."

"I'll allow it Uncle Zap, but next time ask permission first." Shade Man says dryly.

"Tish tosh boy, we're family. We look out for each other and all that." Zap says.

Shade Man sighs.

"Well, it looks like you're as stubborn as I am." said Sonia with a sigh. "Alright, I guess I could go for an apple strudle. Y'know how to make that?"

***

"So, what've you been up to, mate?" Duckbill Mole asked Yanmark.

"Just flying, really. After being grounded for a year, it's good to be up in the sky again." said Yanmark. "Isn't that right, fellas?"

Yanmark's three wingmates, Jeager, Szniner, and Panzar appeared, buzzing in agreement.

"Yeah, they were getting pretty antsy, too." said Yanmark with a chuckle.

***

"Thank you for that, X." said Puppetman in a dry tone. "I'm sure that's what Moirae wants to hear right now."

"Puppetman, behave." Psi scolded. "He didn't mean anything by it."

"No, it's fine." said Moirae. "I understand what he built me for, but that's not what I want to be. Trouble is, I don't know what I want to be." She then started to ponder. "You know, I remember an old man who used to work for Weil. He was some sort of blind magician or something. I think he gave Weil the means to make me."

"I knew it." said Puppetman. "Weil couldn't have made something as groundbreaking as you on his own. Although he's able to come back from the dead, I doubt he can use any real magic on his own."

"Yes, well. I remember something about him." said Moirae. "Whenever he touched my face, he seemed to frown a bit. Like he felt sorry for me. This was before my *ahem* troubles, so I don't know what he was getting at."

"Maybe he was against Weil's concept of enslaving reploids." said Psi. "Still begs the question of why he would work with him in the first place, but that's neither here nor there. Did you have a special connection to this man, Moirae?"

"Not really." said Moirae. "I barely knew him, and he passed away shortly after the Einherjar were disbanded."

"Hey, Genblem. You've been pretty silent all this time. Maybe you can help." said Puppetman. "Do you think you know who Moirae's talking about? What about you, Hyleg?"
