Mind if Robert has some trauma? 8D Pseudo-placeholdery

[semper_cogitans]

[Alice has an observer.

Robert doesn't usually stay outside at this time, but the constant shifts of architecture have made sleeping difficult - when your bedroom isn't a bedroom half the time, it's hard to find actual time to sleep. So he's been driven outside, to study the way the simulations play havoc with the night cycle of Luceti (which he had largely suspected was simulated anyway).

And then he ends up in a city - an old city, pre-Terran judging by its construction. Certainly not unusual by Luceti standards, though. He almost doesn't notice anything awry until sudden movement draws his gaze - just long enough for him to watch Alice eviscerate the thug.

It's the horrible preciseness of the strike, the same way that Daisy gunned down the Covenant, that makes him stare openmouthed with horror. Not so much that this person he met barely a few days ago can kill, as that she can kill so methodically, where it's so easy and quick and precisely-engineered to destroy

Trauma and mindfuckery is the sole reason Alice is out. XD

[And that's just her warming up. Alice barrels into the next group of thugs with vicious glee and speed. In the low evening light, her blades flash as she stabs and slices. As chaotic as her movements are, each attack is precise and deadly. Stomach, chest, directly into the spine, back of the neck, upward into the skull, deadly and precise.

More disturbing is the manic grin on her face. It's all perfectly thrilling to her and fills her with unparalleled glee.]

That is an epic reason :D!

[semper_cogitans]

[This definitely isn't how Ginia fought - even though he thinks it might be the same person; isn't sure in this light, of course, and the motions don't make it any easier for him. But whoever this is, zie is merciless and dangerous.

When he catches sight of that grin, it just underscores this in his mind.

He can't help but back off a little, hands shaking. Being seen by a person like this might not be the best idea. But he's not very quiet, and the scuffing of his shoes against the ground might give him away.]

Sometimes Alice's sole purpose is trauma and mindfuckery

[shadedsunlight]

[The last thug is dispatched with a vertical slice from throat to stomach, disappearing even before the body hits the ground. Alice straightens up and sheathes her knives before she stretches, glowing with self-satisfaction.

Her attention turns as she hears light scuffling. Oh? An observer? Or another mark? One hand pulls out a knife as she approaches slowly, each step strong and powerful, but still keeping herself small to minimize herself as a target.]

\o/! Robert attracts those things like a magnet, it seems

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert makes a fearful noise at the approach - it's slow and predator-like, threatening enough to actually make some of the long-slumbering fight-or-flight instincts rear their heads.

But the first thing he tries is the tried-and-true Terran method - talking out problems.]

I - I m-mean you no harm... pl-please, you do not need to use v-violence...

[He scrunches back a little. The last time he felt like this, he was staring down Kusanagi's swords. That is a less than pleasant association to say the least.]

Ginia will feel horrible about this. Alice grins and cackles.

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice stops as the person speaks, returning the knife to its sheath. Tch. Definitely not a mark and if it was one, it wouldn't be that fun. She sizes him up then sighs, waving her hand at him.]

/Easy there, small fry, I'm not going to hurt you./

Alice earns my Robert-Trauma-Inducing stamp of approval c8

[semper_cogitans]

[Is it ironic that Robert's patheticism is often the reason people don't bother to hurt him?

He noticeably relaxes at the signs - though this just underscores the resemblance to Ginia.]

... Ah... a-alright. My apologies for... f-for not making myself visible earlier.

[Still very nervous. This is a side of Ginia(?) that he's never encountered before.]

A stamp she'll wear with pride!

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice makes a light dismissive sound as she looks at him, wondering what a guy like him is doing out so late. He's pathetic, an easy target to anyone looking for a quick hit.]

/What are you doing out here so late? You'll get yourself killed if you aren't careful./

\o/

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert actually is more cautious than usual, now that he knows about Oroku Saki and Eggman and all the other people he's supposed to be wary of. But when his apartment isn't even there sometimes, it's not much safer than being outside.]

The simulations have made it... i-infeasible to attempt to... stay indoors...

[shadedsunlight]

/Find a new shelter then. Shouldn't be hard./

[Alice pauses, realizing Ginia would be so rude about it. She takes a deep breath as she tries to backtrack.]

/If you need shelter, I can help you find some./

[semper_cogitans]

[Luckily for Alice, Robert is terrible at registering tone and implication, and so it doesn't even strike him as rude.]

I would... a-appreciate assistance, yes.

...

Please e-excuse this question, but... a-am I correct in thinking that you are Ginia Solana...? [Because, without voices - the thing Robert is really good at recognizing - he has more difficulty identifying a person. Visual cues are... not things he picks up on well.] It is, er, difficult to see in these conditions...

[shadedsunlight]

[Alie stares at him much like a predator sizing up her prey before a smile cracks her face.]

/Yes and no./

[semper_cogitans]

...

Yes and no? [... Um. Does not compute. Robert just... sort of blinks at Alice.]

[shadedsunlight]

/Am I physically Ginia Solana? Yes, I am. But am I actually her? No./

[semper_cogitans]

[...

He runs through a list of things that might fit that category. Clones? Transhumanism? Genetic modification? Some kind of identity disorder?]

... May I... a-ask for clarification, if... if you do not mind? [The "you" might be implied to be plural, however well Robert can imply anything.]

[shadedsunlight]

/I'm another personality as a result of dissociative identity disorder./
