37th Wheel of Fate [Action]
[Today is a fairly busy day for the thirteenth Murakumo.
It's been more than a week since her own run-in with Kusanagi - enough time that she's almost completely recovered, thanks to acuitas's healing leaving her with only the blood loss and one minor complication to deal with. Most of that time, she'd spent resting or trying to occupy herself with other ( Read more... )

...at least until he catches sight of Mu going up against the green haired man. That will...probably occupy his attention for a while.]

Sometimes, the swords and the chain cancel each other out. At other times, they don't, and the two combatants dodge to the side or jump... or, when they don't, they find themselves greeted with a chain of followup attacks in the form of one of the following:
-When the sword connects, the follow-up consists of more swords followed by a row of them shooting up to catch the man off-guard and launch him into the air, generally followed by either another volley of swords or by the Murakumo jumping and spinning to slice at him with the eight blades at ( ... )

So, yes, he is definitely enjoying the show. Or, well, enjoying might not be the right word. But you've got his attention, v-13.]

Releasing Murakumo unit. Deploying dimensional interference force field.
[She lets go, but the green-haired man nonetheless remains locked in place - part of whatever ν-13 is doing seems to involve something that keeps the opponent from moving away after she grabs them. Either way, her eight blades start spinning as she continues to speak, eventually launching upwards as she raises her right hand.]
O silver blade forged in the depths of the beyond, heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way...
...Perish.[And with that last word, she lowers her hand again, sending a gigantic blade crashing into her opponent...
...and ending the simulation. With that, she'll deactivate her armor and head back to the main hall for the time being.]

... Feel like talking to this strange person who wanted to help you so long ago, Nu?]

ν-13 does take note of Robert's presence, however - hasn't she seen him somewhere before? But before she can linger on that question, her attention is drawn not to any of the books sitting at the table, but the nanocomputer the scientist has with him.]
...? [That's... not the kind of technology you see often in a place like this. Hopefully Robert doesn't mind having someone staring in his direction too much.]

The moment he does, something like fear creeps into his expression. His last encounter with Nu was about fifteen different kinds of bad, and it was the first time he nearly died in Luceti. But... but it wasn't Nu, doing that. And even if he remembers what Giles said about what Nu was capable of... well, Giles was capable of killing too, wasn't he? So was Don. And even if Link had seemed like a nice person... well, Robert knew that looks could be very deceiving in his case. After all, Noel smiled at him too. And then she killed Giles.
... In the end, he nods anxiously in Nu's direction.]
... I-is... is... th-there something you... y-you need, Nu...?

She'll answer after another moment passes.]
...Unidentified machine detected. [Computers exist in her world, but none of this particular type. ...You could say she's a little curious about it, if it weren't for the fact that she's still being as emotionless as always.]

...He also realizes by watching her, that she could probably kick his ass ten times over normally. /sob]

The soldiers she's fighting this time might just look a little familiar to him, though...]

OH WHAT THE HELL? That definitely gets his attention. He won't butt in...but oh man, does he want to say something. Or ask something. Like why aren't Waters of Life dropping everywhere.]

...Termination of targets, confirmed. Now switching to standby mode.
[Maybe next time, she should either figure out how to raise the number of enemies, or she should just use a different simulation altogether. A single group of these guys is practically a waste of time aside from them giving a lot of EXP, anyway. For now, ν-13 will deactivate her armor, followed by her heading back to the main hall to set up a different simulation.]

...Well. This is... not someone ν-13 expected to see here, of all places. Or at all, for that matter - they haven't exactly interacted since that experiment that had so many strange effects. But while she doesn't really have any positive data pertaining to Bernkastel, there isn't that much in the way of negative data, either. Just that one instance of throwing a feline out of a window on the top floor of one of the community buildings. That's not quite enough to lead to her being marked as a threat just yet.
As such, she's just going to quietly move to check out the small stack of books she picked up, remaining silent for now. It's not like this has ever caused any problem in the past, so... this time shouldn't differ much, even if someone else is handling the current shift.]

It's been a while. How have things been?

If Bern happens to be paying attention to the books ν-13 is carrying, they all seem to be focused on the same subject: music, strangely enough. There even seem to be a few song books in that small stack of books.]

Caesar is... wary. The only "casual" run-in he's had with Nu (that he's aware of, anyway) was during that reality shift and it was... weird. She wasn't actually his childhood friend. She couldn't even really be called a friend at all, and while it wasn't that important, he almost isn't sure how he's supposed to regard her. She's dangerous, after all.
...maybe it would be best to see how she reacts first, if she reacts at all.]

...She doesn't really seem to be having a lot of luck with her search just yet, though, if the fact that she hasn't managed to find even a single book worth taking a closer look at so far is any indication. Maybe she should try one of the other shelves...]

Looking for something?

...Affirmative. [It... feels a bit weird to speak to him again, when the last time they did so was during that memory-altering experiment. With Giles, she could focus on the mess with Kusanagi instead, but right now... that would be a little odd, wouldn't it?]
