*Seeing Nu reject the corpse made Corrosion gawk slightly, why would she hide something like that? She must have her reasons, as not many beings like her grow the level of sentience she does. Seeing Opera's arrival, he was put on guard. Even more so as she nonchalantly started to mess with Nu's programming. If she would reject food, he figured she wouldn't want anyone else doing something to draw unnecessary attention to her. Not doing much in the way of warning, he immediately melted away Opera's hand with a combination of poison and fire data. Scowling, and replacing his hood, he glared at Opera.*
"Corrosion": Lady, if she wanted to speak, she would've had the programming installed ages ago, especially if she's as old as you say. Leave your inquisitiveness away, or you'll see how very easily you can become a bubbling paste.
*Corrosion wasn't one to be offensive. In fact, he was very mild-mannered for someone who's near-whole life has been spent in the Undernet. He just simply got bored with needing to be aggressive all the time. Having issued the threat with no hint of anger or malice, he stood there and looked back to Nu.*
"Corrosion": My apologies, miss. There are going to be odd ones here during your stay in the Undernet, so you'd best keep your guard up. Shadow, I shouldn't have to be covering your lackeys for you...
*It was odd how Corrosion could call her "miss" and then a "lackey" in the same speech. It was meant with no sort of degradation, to the contrary, he was giving her value, implicitly stating her usefulness to Shadow. He'd been around the net to know exactly what Nu was, and that if Shadow could imprint some sort of camaraderie in her, she'd be his most useful weapon.*

[bgcolor=000055] “This is not the reunion I wanted at the moment” [/font] _______________________________[/right] ”...and she can tell us all about her history.”
“Oh, well, I grew up on a little beach side house! Nice ocean! Bad neighbors! Nice seafood!”
Sarcasm was not obvious with the inability to speak as Nu simply thought these things to herself. She had heard the average response on some data that had ran-off re-runs of Television shows, and for one of the few times, she could see why humans used “sarcasm”; it was just so fitting! She would obviously not tell anyone or anything about her history, mainly because she did not have one. What kind of history would a program have that did nothing more than become whole by accumulating through bugs?
If that was a case, she would not even be a program, not only that, she was not even some virus that the nosey NetNavi could have something shoved down her throat.
“ Unless... Nah, she couldn't possibly be that...”
Nu’s eyes had was shadowed by her bangs as she looked at the prying NetNavi. She was about to become something much worse than what he guessed: she would be his murderer in the next few seconds.
”Lady, if she wanted to speak, she would've had the programming installed ages ago, especially if she's as old as you say. Leave your inquisitiveness away, or you'll see how very easily you can become a bubbling paste.”
It seemed that the peddler had his use after all.
Nu had avoided an icky situation with the temptation to regret skipping her meal as a victim. Although she was called a lackey, she did nothing more than show her teeth in that wicked smile. “Call me anything you want! As long as I can get something out of it!” Her shoulders bouncing as she snickered with her bright whites showing even as she stood behind Shadow. No one would like anyone with a smile that big standing behind them, however, it was lost in translation with how there were no words, but the usual unpredictable gestures and attitude of Nu.
“But...” Megami had said as her eyes slid from the attention of Silence leaving with the lugged body he had in his grasp and looked on to the strange peddler, “What do you mean ‘odd’ when you mention those that roam here, the...Un-der-net ” the angelic NetNavi said pronouncing the words like a child. Sure, she seen Silence, and maybe the estranged NetNavi that attempted to work on the blob-girl (but ultimately failed), but Megami quite did not know the difference between those of this forsaken Underworld and those on the network she known the past year.
Even if they were a bit more aggressive and strange looking like that Heel Navi, she was not shallow when it came to judgment. ______________________________ “But it will have to do for right now!” [/font][/center] ::OOC Stats::Now Listening To: ”The Zone” by The WeekendIC Attire: Megami:: Graceful Goddess {Default}Nu :: Default Chatty Ditz: @ttd: Nu is not a NetNavi, and you knowing information about her (as well as everyone prior to you not even being in the thread for a majority of the time) with just "looking" at her is considered really poor RP ethic because that's meta.[/size]

Shadow watched as Corrosion melted Opera's hand, raising an eye brow as he caught a glance at Silence leaving with the body in tow and overall just somewhat confused by what he was told by Corrosion.
"...My...lackey...?" he hadn't considered her a lackey...more someone tagging along and seeming willing to help protect him. But he supposed lackey would be a good description, more so as the more he thought on it...powerful people had lackeys.
"Well, I hadn't officially inducted her as a lackey yet." he paused and glanced at her before continuing. "But if she is interested she can be my first one". He wondered why he never considered taking on underlings before...it made perfect sense NOW...

Taking in his former sparring partners words, Shade had no choice but to do what he thought would further his own goals.
"Well, if you are starting some sort of group, I would willingly become one of your underlings, if you feel up to the task of commanding navis such as myself, and the girl next to you."
Looking around, he slowly walked over to the other side of the room, where Shadow was, and accessed his PM system. After a few brief moments, he retrieved a small data crystal, handing it to Shadow.
((OOC: Access it the same as a MD))

Shadow heard Shade this time, the voice sounded somewhat familar, but only vaguelt. Turning his head to look at who spoke, he watched as Shade approched, and handed him a small data crystal.
He stared at the offered data, snatching it up, then examining it for him self not yet accessing it. "First off, what heck is this supposed to be? Second, what makes you think I want you? If you have been hanging around a goodie two shoes like her, you likely have no use to me." as he said "her" he motioned with his head towards Megami. He waited arms crossed now to see what Shade would say.

"What? The girl? I barely even know her. We just happen to have a common interest. Said interest is to rid the net of that overly powerful nuisance that threatens our very existence."
He didn't exactly like Shadow, but he had no qualms with working for him.
"As to what's in the crystal, why don't you open it if you're so curious as to what it is."

(OOC: It's never just looking with Opera. Most of her attack set consists of variations of 'hack the foe out of existence.' And in case you weren't reading, she's probably been there a while as a pair of floating eyes that nobody noticed. Really, it's easy to miss a pair of floating eyes if you're not looking for them. She's been spending her time at least trying to hack everyone except the innocent-seeming Megami. Incidentally, she was modifying a program she had with her, not modifying Nu directly.)
Opera notes that her hand was gone, but not until a few moments after it happened. It wasn't much of an impediment, but it was probably meant to be. Being insane, she decided to taunt the Navi who was probably the big gun in the room.
Opera: Oh, I can become a bubbling paste very easily. Watch!
Opera's body, save her eyes, immediately melts into a bubbling paste. The eyes still staring out would be almost humorous, if you didn't know that she was essentially only her eyes and this was therefore just a ruse. The data she was modifying continued floating, and seemed to be continued to be modified. The reason it seemed this way was because that was what was happening. Opera's body is totally irrelevant to her functions. She reconstitutes it anyway, as Megami at least was probably getting creeped out.
Opera: Yeah, long story short, I don't need my body for anything other than looking pretty, which I don't really care about. Plus, I'm a NetNavi. I don't die when I am killed, so your threats hold no water.

Shadow frowned at shade, thinking for a moment. "Fool, you don't survive down here opening any data thrown your way. More often then not there will be some sort of virus or other trap attached." he paused, looking at the crystal then back to Shade. 'He wouldn't be stupid enough to try something here though, or at least he better not be..."
Suddenly his cannon clicked and was now pointed in Shade's direction. "Tell you what...I will let you tag along, and I will even open this thing to see what is inside... he trailed off for a moment, his voice taking on a more malicious tone. "Just know that if you are foolish enough to try anything, you will find your self in a world of pain..." Shadow then followed through with what he said, accessing the strange crystal, mental finger on the trigger of his cannon should anything unpleasent come from it.

A ping would ring out from Shadow's PM system, notifying him that Shade had been registered as a contact.
"See there, no harm done to anyone in the room."
He then glanced at the strange one.
"Save what was done to the shape shifter here."
As he said this, he had his familiar retrieve his coffin, and once again become part of him.

*If Opera was intending to agitate the man present, she got her wish. Not wanting to hear anything more from her, he grabbed her eyes. Keeping them gripped tightly in his hands, he placed them in a jar, before further encasing it in a Purple Mystery Data. Having it thoroughly locked, he kept it on his person for the time being.*
"Corrosion": I may be patient, but my tolerance only goes so far. I'll let her out when the smoke clears. She can't see or hear anything from inside currently, and the lock on the data is stronger than her data manipulation can handle. Shadow, if I may take that lady, for a moment, there is something I must....discuss with her.
*Corrosion motioned for her to go to a decrepit old table to sit, as he took his spot on the other side.*
(OOC: Consider this like a deletion, only Opera will participate after everyone is gone. Can't meta things the way you like to if you can't collect or analyze any records. So consider this a more RP-kosher way of keeping Opera from being Opera.)

Shadow waited after the notice about having Shade's contacr data regestered, half expecting something else to happen. But when it didn't, he retracted his cannon, and turned back to Corrosion as he finished sealing opera, and spoke to him again.
"Sure old timer. " was all he said, turning towards the door he had come through. He walked past Nu, not caring about what Corrosion might want to discuss. He waved his arm indicating Shade to follow with him. Deciding he would see how useful it was to have him around, as he walked through the doorway outside.

Carefully following his new leader outside, he made a small apology to Megami.
"My apologies miss, but I have my own goals to further, so I will no-longer be accompanying you. Also, if it was any inconvenience to you, that i was with you for the short amount of time, I must also apologize for that."
Not caring what she had to say in response, he clutched his broken arm, and continued out the door, to where Shadow would likely be waiting to delete him.

[bgcolor=000055] “This is not the reunion I wanted at the moment” [/font] _______________________________[/right] Nu’s eyes shifted between the corroding NetNavi and Shadow. She found it interesting that he had to ask questions to the golden-trimmed NetNavi as if she was a pet at his command, which she was far from as her peppy attitude remained intact. Her arms folding as she looked to Shadow for an answer, and unexpectedly, he had given an answer as if she was some sort of faithful follower. Her eyes rolled, and her fingers tapped against her elbow imitating the feeling of what she could have said as an obvious: “Oh, please!”
Silently, she had simply followed the cues of this little show. As the NetNavi gestured to the seat, Nu had stood staring for a moment before walking towards the degenerating old chair. She had taken a hand and pushed it back under the table seeming to reject and stating the obvious that she would stand. After all, her true weight was compacted into this faux rounded body; and it only meant she would break it with her girth.
Nu had tilted her head, eyes in a half closed manner as her lids shown a mild displeasure mixed with boredom. Her gesture and dull, straight face expressing nothing short of a face that wanted to know what was wanted of her and to be quick about it considering her boredom.
Megami, however, saw she no further business in the building. Even as Silence had departed from the confines and her eyes going to Shade who seemed to pass her while speaking almost solemnly. "My apologies miss, but I have my own goals to further, so I will no-longer be accompanying you. Also, if it was any inconvenience to you, that i was with you for the short amount of time, I must also apologize for that." As the NetNavi said this, Megami shown no discontent. If anything, she shown a content smile once again with her hands in her lap as she spoke in her heavenly tone of voice.
“Oh! No need to apologize, Sir Shade,” she had said honestly and happily, “You were no inconvenience at all. I am only relieved that your goals are accomplished by other means as I would not have to incapacitate you upon my departure to keep you from getting into any danger!”
Okay, once again, Megami was too honest.
However, even if this was the case and one would find the statement awkward, such as Xenneth, Megami followed through with a gracious bow as her lochs of chestnut brown hair brushed against her cheek and then fallen back behind her back. Her eyes opened showing the pristine blue irises while her pursed pink lips parted once more, “But I do hope you find what you are looking for.” she spoke once again with serenity before turning back and heading towards the exit of the building.
Megami’s eyes searched out for the familiar, cloaked, and creaky form of Silence as she readied to depart towards the deeper cravats of the Undernet. She figured, maybe it was possible that the BBS was in a square similar to Net City in Electopia or Green Town’s “Flora~Flora” BBS that was owned by Xenneth’s family. Surely, it would be in a place of great trade, and as she searched out for Silence, she kept the question in mind. ______________________________ “But it will have to do for right now!” [/font][/center] ::OOC Stats::Now Listening To: ”The Zone” by The WeekendIC Attire: Megami:: Graceful Goddess {Default}Nu :: Default Chatty Ditz: -----[/size]

*Corrosion only smirked when Nu ignored the seat. He shook his head slightly, as if to recall exactly what he wanted to do. Looking dead into her eyes, he held onto a medium-sized bag, wiggling about, but not making a sound. Holding it out to Nu, he leaned closer to her and began whispering.*
"Corrosion": I know all about you...and I know how hungry you can get. It's not much...and I know, that for some reason or another, you don't want others to know, but I can't let a gal like you starve. Inside are three Spiky pups, with their vocals removed. If you get time away from the black lug sometime, you can have 'em. You're going to find the world against you if they find you out. I thought they'd be more tolerant...but you'll prove powerful in your own accord. You're welcome here for refuge if you ever need it...you just might be the last of your kind...
*With the sack and message passed on, Corrosion left Nu to her own musings as he returned back upstairs to greet Silence again, waving nonchalantly before taking his old seat by the window.*
