Marrow stood awkwardly on the roof of a small store, once again in the southern capital, where it all began really. She could see from this rooftop the stump of the tree Her egg was buried under. 8 and a half years ago a thunderstorm had blasted it. Now the stump was sawed even and clean, perfect for sitting on. It was odd to look back so far. Perhaps odd for a human to envision a being just 9 years of age yet already having the clear mind and body of an adult. That said… both of those claims were in doubt. Her body was nowhere near a human's. In fact it was only her face which was notably human. And when you compared the naturally blood red eyes, lips, and hair, perhaps not even that. She supposed the milky white skin of her face was possible for a human. Indeed the paleness of it was not at all eye catching when compared to what was below her neck. Oh the body was human enough in shape, breasts, curves, relative size. But it was clearly not. Aside from lacking any visible genitalia on her nude form, her skin was green. Her body was covered in a chitinous, exoskeleton like series of plates, wrapping around her forearms, upper arms,the top of her feet, shins, thighs, etc. Even on her abdomen and chest. Each plate hard and smooth, milky white resembling bone, and with small red spots resembling blood droplets. If her insectoid exoskeleton like plates didn’t scream nonhuman, her long, scorpion like tail she did. Her blood red hair ran down to her mid back and waved in a slight breeze.
This was a sort of goodbye. She had lived in this city in her larval stage for 6 years. She hadn’t had this humanoid form for long. She sit h we softly and slid gracefully down into a sitting position. This wasn’t a goodbye to the city itself, but of that stage in her life. She was glad of it too. How she had the freedom to go out and explore, yet she couldn’t help but sit here and reminisce about her life here before. Who knows what she would discover now, given the ability to speak, roam, and explore? Maybe something similar to herself, or some grand new species she hadn’t encountered yet. Her scorpion like tail cooled up on itself behind her almost in a spiral,or like a snake cooling before it strikes. She wasn’t paying much attention to it at the moment. Her first goal would probably be to obtain more information, and father enough zeni. Maybe she'd get off this planet in the future. Perhaps she would even find Who or what ever was responsible for her. Why had she hatched here under this tree, with only humans around and no explanation. Why had someone buried her there before she had hatched? She supposed it didn’t matter in the end. It was time to move on, explore. Maybe if she was lucky she’d find some new things.

Marrow snapped out of her thoughts finally as her no sense registered a presence near her, one far stronger than any of the humans. She had learned that trying to track a human was pointless with the ki sense, they were all so similar. Because of this, this presence stool out like a sore thumb, and it was coming closer, moving…. Up the building wall? What? Marrow could fly but she hadn’t heard of something able to climb walls like that. It was weird. And in but a moment she saw a tail. It was serpent like, but with a black needle like tip, that reminded her faintly of her own. Though hers resembled a scorpion tail, which naturally had such needle ends anyway. How else could a scorpion inject its venom when they stung? Though her’s had a different use, Perhaps more sinister. She had used it countless times, though mostly on animals, excepting once.
But that was necessary, for she had started out in a larval form, and had needed to absorb to grow. With her final absorption she had gathered enough to assume this form. That said, she knew instinctively now that she had multiple paths. She didn’t want to resort to absorbing people unless…. Well she was still working out the morality on it. She planned to take a different path if possible.
The owner of the tail used it to flip herself up. It was quite a graceful maneuver. This woman had had an amazing sense of balance to pull it off. That said that seemed to be common among… she wasn’t sure. She had never really dealt with other non humans. Considering she was only 9 years of age that was and wasn’t surprising. But she had spent much of her 9 year larval stage trying to survive and not be killed. Humans had interpreted her as some giant bug to be squashed. And the last 3 or so of those 9 years she has been held in captivity. So perhaps it wasn’t unusual for her to be a bit ignorant of these things.
She spoke then, asking if Marrow was like her. Some instinct nagged at her. Was this a member of her species? But… she was so different. Aside from the eyes and tail she could probably blend in. Meanwhile Marrow stuck out like a sore thumb. But her gut, and intuition made her wonder. Perhaps all of her species looked different? Sure some humans were tall and some short, some fat and some slim. But this difference went beyond that. Regardless, she shook her head slightly, trying to clear her head.
She spoke again, and her words were rather mysterious? What was a Namekian? She wasn’t sure. She looked at the green skin on her joins. So Namekians had skin like this? Good to know. ”I’m…. Not sure… To be honest… I’ve only just assumed this form… The prior 9 years of my life I was stuck in a larval form, so I can’t say… what is a “Namekian”?” Marrow blushes slightly, hating appearing idiotic. It was to avoid that that she spoke to justify herself. ”I…. Well I spent the last few years held captive… I don’t have much experience with alien species. I don’t even known what I would be called to tell you the truth.”
Marrow sighed and blushes a slight bit redder and looked Aside to hide it. It galled her to reveal her own ignorance. But… ”I could be a member of your species…. My gut senses something similar… but… I’ve never met another like myself so I cannot tell if you are one…”

Time had passed by at a multitude of speeds. Fast some days, and painfully slow on others. Meditation, personal reflections, and basic training only went so far. The one encounter with and old friend had been his only change up but even that wasn't long lasting. So he had left his home in search of something more significant to do. He needed to begin his training in full, see and experience the world more. Maybe even leave this planet eventually to further increase his knowledge of fighting, life and everything else for that matter. But that would be for another time. First he needed to explore Earth, and increase his strength. He had done well so far but now....now he needed more. Something real to get him moving forward again.
He had come to one of the cities, South Capitol it seemed when his senses picked up on something. A pair of them actually. Energy not like humans or some others he had encountered. No..these signatures were....near his own. Every living creature had a very unique signature in his experience. Even his own. Humans all felt one way, Saiyans another, Animals had many depending on their size and breed. But these two he felt were similar to him. Which meant they were created, that they were bio-androids. This was an interesting turn of things. So he decided to approach them, see what he could learn about them. It didn't take long either for this to happen as he lowered from the sky.
Just above one of the many buildings he found two different as could be beings on a rooftop. Barely able to hear them at the distance he was at he lowered a bit more. They were like him, but who ever had created them had let the design process go in drastically different directions. This was something he had wondered about, but now it was confirmed. The creator could influence every aspect of their creation. Catching parts of the conversation drew him in more. His curiosity getting the better of him. The one that had a more serpentine tail had been talking about Nemakians and then introduced herself. The other, the one with a scorpion like tail was still young, unaware of the world. He crossed his arms as he soon lowered into view just after the name Scarlet had been given and a name asked in return.
He spoke then. " I would like to know this as well. For it seems the three of use have things in common. And I must say that I am curious as to what your creators were like or were thinking when they brought you into life. "

[Sounds good, the topic is now closed to new members without asking first, via pm or some such. Thanks for joining, both of you. ^~^]
Marrow listened intently as she spoke. Calling her cute in the way that she did would have ruffled her feathers greatly had it not been for her years spent in captivity. For the last few years she’s been treated like nothing but some interesting specimen and talking point, locked in a terrarium. Then after that, little more than a house pet. Considering one can only be treated like a common house pet for some long before it starts affecting the mind. And it was for this reason that when addressed thusly, it didn’t anger her at all, she was practically used to it. Despite her larval stage being...not cute my most human standards. But the boy… the young teenage boy had unusual tastes compared to most of his species. Perhaps had it been plain dislike and cruel treatment her anger would have kept her from this… But the boy… the boy had been kind. Perhaps that was what had done in her resistance, the boy, who had gotten her out of that terrarium cage. The boy who had been kind. Still she did blush a bit more being assessed thusly, and hopefully, managed to suppress a slight smile. She wasn’t sure if she had succeeded.
Marrow tried to clear her head as she thought. So Namekians were another species. And not just that, but their home was another planet. They had her green skin… But… slug people? If this woman hadn’t continued speaking she would have imagined something quite disgusting. But the world sounded so different. She’d have to go there sometime. She sounded bored of it, but Marrow had never seen it. But how? She’d need to save quite a bit of zeni. Marrow continued to listening, smiling a bit at the woman's pose, suppressing a giggle before it could show hopefully. She sat her tail down on the ground, the end wrapping around a bit before it connected to her, like a coiled snake, excepting instead of a head rising out of the coil… It merely connected to her.
But what she said next made sense! It would explain so much! It would explain her strange origins. Why she had no apparent parents or people or the same species around. Why she instinctively knew her name, without ever being told or making one for herself. But then why was her larval form buried under the park? Why had she never met this creator? Still… it explained all her traits…
She then gave a name. Scarlet. It was a good name for her, Marrow thought. It made sense and had a certain ring to it. ”My name is Hae….Marrow..? It’s weird. I’ve always known my name was intended to be Haema, on some instinctual level… but… Anyway, Marrow is the name I was given by someone I actually know… so I’ll use it for now?” It ended in a question. Perhaps it was her instincts arguing with her free will. That made at least some semblance of sense to her. ”What you say makes sense though… It would explain… well…. All of this…” Marrow gestured at her own body. And maybe we don't? Maybe I start from some insect based…. Well… Base? Perhaps such a base form mixed with human genetics? Is there a species that can regrow limbs? Because that would explain....”
Marrow looked up, and cut off mid sentence. How had she not senses the powerful no that was descending towards them earlier? Had it been the vertical distance? That seemed unlikely. Perhaps it was simply her newness to this form, That would make sense. And she had been giving Scarlet all her attention, eager to learn what she was. Still… She would have to be more alert in the future. If this force didn’t kill her. It was easily stronger than her and Scarlet combined… And then multiplied 5 fold… Narrows eyes watched as the person descended.
He spoke then as he arrived. And as he mentioned it, she felt it too... ”I...never met mine. I woke up in my previous form and had to dig my way out from under that tree….” Marrow gestured towards the birch tree that was now merely a stump. ”Considering how humans run from me and find me frightening or hideous… I’d wager I was meant for something… unsavory… that or they had an odd taste and aesthetic.” Marrow laughed very slightly, possibly failing to convincingly laugh off the self depreciating humor.

He watched the two as he arrived. His arms remained crossed over his chest, and from there he made no other move. The reactions were so different between the two. The one that was more insect like, Marrow was her name, simply looked up at him in a bit of surprise. That reaction meant her mind had been focused on the other one, Scarlet if he heard right. By the way each looked at the moment their names were well earned. He listened to what both said, about Namek and the genetics that they had. Then Marrow had responded and told how and where she had emerged. An odd thing but not a far stretch. Some creators had odd mental states for their choices.
Scarlet though, her reaction had been more dramatic. His appearance had startled the girl, causing her to jump and hide behind the other. Tilting his head he had some trouble figuring things out. Marrow was pretty young, or was it more because she didn't know the world? Scarlet had more to her, like him. This would be an easy encounter should they get antsy but he was hoping that wouldn't be the case. He needed to make sure they knew what he was getting at though. " An odd thing to be done, but we bio-androids are not your normal being. Our creators have many reasons for our creation. It would be interesting to figure out the reasons behind yours. "
He had yet to undergo any transformation. Larval or other. He was still in his original form. Though powerful, he knew he was not complete. He blinked a bit at Scarlet's calling him ' sirloin beef ' and tilted his head. That was unusual but there wasn't much he could do about it after all. But what was the meaning? His build maybe? Or something else? He couldn't tell really but didn't care. But her question was evident. He had looked to the place Marrow had pointed out and Scarlet hadn't divulged much, but enough. " " My mother had two purposes when she created me. Though she never got to see me emerge into this world. I was to take vengeance on those of her field that betrayed her, ruined her professional career and caused her to loose her health and life. Her second objective, was to show the world what a true warrior could be, what a bio-android could achieve. "

Marrow listened as she spoke. Perhaps Namek wasn't so boring? Regardless Marrow would want to visit it sometime. A green atmosphere and green water? What could cause that? Algae perhaps for the water… Perhaps even for the sky really… microscopic algae could probably be lifted into the atmosphere by strong winds. And with less to diminish the sunlight, they might thrive there. That was one hypothesis at least. Blue grass sounded quite interesting as well, but such a thing existed here right? Well… She probably meant a more vibrant blue not the blue-green one might find in some areas here. How did that work? How could chlorophyll be blue and still work? Or was there something else. Regardless she wanted to see it. She believed Scarlet, but that only made her more curious.
So Haema could be her project name? That made sense she supposed, and it fit with what she seemed to be. Marrow made careful note of Scarlets last name. What an unusual name, not that it didn’t sound nice on the tongue. So it was her namekian traits that let her regrow limbs? That was a good thing to know. And it also told her that if a Namekian ever picked a fight, don’t aim for the limbs. That would prove useful. She didn’t think she could regrow her head, but perhaps she only had some of their genes and they could? That was a frightening thought, a creature that could just heal after any wound. ”I’ll have to tell you about it sometime.”
But it was just after that that the guy showed up. Marrow was started at the reaction she had, and almost giggles and she his behind Marrow. ”It's okay. Sorry” Marrow struggled to h old in her giggle and wasn't sure if she's succeeded. Not did she want to alienate Scarlet if that embarrassed her. Nonetheless she did let out a smile when Scarlet said that. It was nice to hear considering… all the unpleasantness that came with this appearance.
Marrow listened. He didn't seem to care much for her bit. I suppose it was unsatisfying to ask for a person's story only to find that their wasn’t one to tell, that she didn’t know. Not did he seem particularly satisfied with Scarlets, which was rich with details, at least compared to Marrow’s. She enjoyed Scarlet’s story herself. It was nice to hear that she knew how she had come about, and for generally what purpose. Scarlet had a family, and that's always a nice thing. Marrow Smiled while listening.
The newcomers story… not so much. It was grim and it sounded like his only purpose was revenge and to prove his strength… To prove his mother was right. Dear God what a terrible purpose, to be born just for revenge? Who would do that? Even if she was treated terribly, his creator shouldn’t and forced that on her creation by burdening him with such a cruel purpose. If Scarlet's story had been a joy to hear? This man's was a burden and sadness to hear.
”Yes, I look forward to proving that puzzle together. If there are many prices left to find. That said… you no doubt know our names… what is yours? It’s only fair after all. If you missed that part, mine is Marrow.” Marrow highly doubted he hadn't heard. They had been speaking about it just before he arrived in their level. Still…

He knew many things thanks to his creator/mother. But there were other things that were lost to him. Such as being polite, and observing some of the niceties shared by many of the other races. He never really understood them. He was blunt, spoke his mind no matter what and didn't care about many things. But it seemed both of these two saw his own purpose as sad and pointless. Scarlet though wondered if he was forced to follow these or if he had a will of his own. He breathed in and out slowly before moving forward and finally landed on the edge of the roof. And from here he simply lowered so that he balanced on the front half of his feet. Easier to look at the two this way.
" Marrow and Scarlet. Bio-androids are different from normal people. What sets us apart is our potential. It's often greater than the regular races since we are made of many. And I am Jinzon double zero. Jinzon for Short. I have not yet earned the right to take my mothers name. " He looked the two of them over. " There are always pieces to find Marrow. Usually it's encoded into our genetic structure. Others its in whatever area we are brought into this world from. For instance, this form before you, it is my first form. I know this because I do not feel complete. " He looked to Scarlet and tilted his head slightly.
" I have free will. I did not have to follow her wishes but she was the one to create me. Would you not avenge the life of your creator if they had been done wrong? And as for my other purpose, becoming the best fighter is my choice. Her desire was to show the world what her work could achieve. A created being being able to do anything anyone else could do. Be the worlds best doctor, the best explorer of the stars, peace keeper. I chose fighting because it teaches many things. About ones self, the world and what one could accomplish without being restrained by modern morality. " To them both he smiled. " I have yet to evolve physically, but by absorbing the enemies of my mother I gained knowledge of her life, and what I could become. So...what do you know of your own creator? What knowledge were you given before...arriving to the world? "

Marrow nodded somewhat as Scarlet spoke. Marrow wasn’t she she would. She could understand avenging her parents if she had met them… But… how could he know his creator wasn’t just a spiteful person? Was ruining her career worthy of death? Did they really cause her to die or was it unrelated medical reasons. She couldn’t possibly know, but did he? Perhaps he had already done a lot of digging, investigated those people, and found they had, in fact, been guilty. But the idea of killing someone based solely on evidence or testimony by of one person galled her. She hoped he wouldn’t take that route.
Marrow wasn’t quite sure about that, but having met no other races, she couldn’t be sure. And somehow she doubted that. Surely there were other races equally powerful. That said her own power was rather pathetic at this point… well in terms of power perhaps the common human ranked as pathetic and she just an extremely fresh greenhorn. That said, Marrow wasn’t racist or cocky. She liked the humans, or some of them. She just wished they’d develops a more worldly view. But as more beings came to earth that would come in time. That said, she'd heard of powerful humans,n She just hadn’t seen any. There was a TV in her captor's house. So she’d had nearly a year before they let her out of her small confinement and into the whole of the home. That was a year of doing nothing, so she often attempted to pay attention to what they had on tv. Most of it was not informative though. Still there had to be powerful races out there. Whoever had created her had knew enough them to harvest some of their genetics. Despite her serious doubts to his talk of a superior race, she didn’t protest. That said there was a hint of a grown. Whether she was disagreeing or thinking, others could only guess. Scarlet would probably guess right e she hoped. She worried about how Scarlet would take that. She had been raised by her creators and seemed to love them. Would she take that?
Jinzon had continued speaking. He had a point, there probably were clues hidden somewhere. Perhaps she’d eventually unravel that mystery. In the meantime she needed to grow stronger. It was grading being powerless. She didn’t like it at all. This needed fixed first. The mystery of her origins was less important than ensuring her survival, and that was clearly evident. ”That I can understand… I’m closer than I was before, but far from close to what I should be. It’s instinct based.” She couldn’t hope to explain the feeling. It was more instinct than conscious thought. But it was there.
”I might, but as I never met my creators nor know who they are… I have no clue. I was given no knowledge or help from them, and from day 1 I’ve been on my own… Most of the time. I suppose it’s possible some emergency came up, and they had to hide me away before I was ready, that could explain my prior form, or any number of things I suppose. But i think I’d be absolutely sure any they sent me to kill were guilty, and I had proof. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you didn’t! But you asked what I would do.” That said, the idea of being made to kill, being created for revenge, would be a huge burden, and if she found out her creator had done such a thing, she'd come to resent him. Not because it would be her instinct to, but because of the things she had learned, and the personality her free will allowed her.

He gave a light nod. Without genetic information meant on of maybe a few things. It wasn't needed because of one or two reasons including being taught on a personal level, or having information given through other means. Or that it had not been added yet by design or lack of the chance to do so. Either way, it made things more interesting. He nodded to Marrow's words. " There are many things that could account for that. All one can do is look for whats there. It won't be easy though, but it could be informative. And I did. I found all the evidence, questioned them each before dealing out their punishment. Only one had been truly sorry for what had done. But that is in my past. Now I seek strength, and the knowledge that goes with it. "
He looked to Scarlet, tilting his head a bit. She had gone on almost as much as he did. But he was a bit curious. When did the Namek people develop genders? From his knowledge they were asexual, genderless. Unless it was the particular structure and personality of a given Nemekian that lead them to be more ' Feminine ' than others would appear to be. Being raised normally allowed many advantages too. But still it was all part of the creators desires. He couldn't find or give fault to anything done simply because it wasn't his place to do so. He chuckled at his views being called a burden. It wasn't for everyone, and each had to find their own way. He saw himself as lucky to have been given a suggested direction at least. But she did have some wisdom of her own in saying or asking if they were all the same.
" True enough. We are like anyone else in many ways. I don't see or think any one race is Superior. But I do believe in greater potential from one to another. " He smiled seeing that he could learn as well as teach. It was refreshing at least. " To me, what makes us different from others again, is the potential we have. But I know that there are others out there with greater potential than my own. And I must strive to meet that or surpass it. " At her last statement and question he smiled. True words indeed. " If one is given the choice to live without a goal, it is acceptable for that person. Life in itself is a challenge. As for your question Scarlet, I do many things. Training, fighting, seeking mental knowledge gained from people, cultures, the land and the animals it holds. I already know that in my life, I will never truly be the strongest. There is always someone stronger. But to strive to be the best is what drives me. Not just in physical ability, but in mental ability and willpower. If that makes any sense. "

Marrow listened to Scarlet. She had to admit She was somewhat jealous. She could only imagine this must be what a poor homeless human child felt when hearing of a parent's love and learning. About her parents and travel. How could She not be slightly jealous? She didn’t have any of those things… except the boy…. And she couldn’t tell them about that. Especially not Jinzon. She’d rather not be perceived as cracked, crazy, or bear the weight of too much pity. So she could not tell more of her story. Maybe she’d tell Scarlet sometime when they were alone, when she got to know her better. Maybe… if perhaps it wasn’t figured out before that. Hopefully not.
Marrow agreed greatly with doing things you actively wanted to do. She had trouble imagining the burden of following a set path, especially if it was a violent path. But she supposed any creation made for such a purpose would not have the same kind of conscience. It would likely revel in blood and violence from creation. Otherwise… What a horrible burden.
Marrow visibly gave a slightly of relief. She wanted to belief what he said here. The idea of him killing with no evidence… that said… Why not just send the evidence to the prosecutor. If it proved them guilty, they’d have a spent their lives in jail right? ”What…. What did you do with the one that was remorseful…. I mean… even if punishment is deserved… doesn’t one who regrets and is truly repentant deserve mercy? And why not just give the evidence to a prosecutor?” Marrow disliked the use of repentant, some thought it was religious only. But it merely meant regretting something… Well… kinda. The idea of him killing someone like that worried her, and she seeked some reassurance, admittedly just to ease her own worries and settle her mind.
She could kind of understand his potential thing, but she wasn’t quite sure about that. But what he said about other races helped. In addition she couldn’t help agree with some of the bits that followed. ” I can understand that. What good is fighting prowess if you don’t know when to fight? What good is a powerful body of your brains as intelligent as a brick? I can only imagine that unless the body and mind are balanced a bit, neither will work properly in a fight. If you're all brawl and no brain, you’ll be tricked easily and killed, if you're all brain and no brain, you’ll be overpowered before you can use your brain. That at least, makes perfect sense to me.”

He tilted his head slightly at all that was said. It was a lot to think about to be sure. Ideas bounced around in his head, information isolated, analyzed, and stored. He blinked though and shook his head. He had already hunted and taken the lives of the others. " Morality and laws that rule these people are not effective. Sometimes, their laws work, but only when they have wasted time gathering so called evidence. This is.....double edged. When someone is caught in the act, or is proven to have done it by credible people, they waste time searching for reasons and evidence instead of dealing with the problem right then and there. But they screw it up and justice is never given. Then there are times when it can't be proven, or when you need to find out who or why. Do I regret having to take the lives of those that did regret their roles? "
He rubbed his fingers together, staring at them in thought. " Yes. I did not know how to take their regret, how to process it and what mother would have wanted. Would she have forgiven them? Maybe, maybe not. What they did though could never be proven. But it gave me needed information. But laws have place and value but only to a degree. " He looked to Scarlet and gave a half grin and a shrug. " Finding our potential is always a challenge for each of us. To each is different yet can be alike. And your judgment is normal, but your own. It doesn't bother me. The fact you saw the truth to what I was meaning means you are smarter than normal. "
He breathed in lightly. Looked to them both. " I can help if you want to find your path in life. I am still learning much myself, and no I do not know much of the social interactions. I know what is supposed to be, to happen, but never have experienced them. It...would be interesting. "

Marrow watched carefully and more importantly, listened. She had to admit She knew less about her body and it’s creation than Marrow to be sure. But perhaps one other thing she didn’t if it was as it sounded. Did she not know the use of her tail? Or was the use different for each of them. Perhaps She absorbed by some other mechanism. For example if she wanted to absorb.. If she could absorb, she might have to physically chew them up. Just the thought sent a shiver down her spine. ”Uh… I don’t know much either but… I can absorb things with my tail… Not like… just eat or something with it or something but… earlier this week, while I was still in my larval form… a burglar broke into the house I was living in… he didn’t see me… I was on the ceiling… twas something I was readily able yo do in that form… And after threatening the people who I was with for their money and stuff… perhaps he botched his break in by doing so while they were home… and… I jumped on his face and plunged my tail into his neck… I don’t know if yours can… my my tail sort of.. Sucked away his ki and bodily fluids and such… I transformed from it… And… yeah… I don’t know if all of us can… or just me… but that could explain the needle on your tail Scarlet... “ Marrow patted the end of her own tial warily, while it had no needle quite like her’s, the end did resemble a scorpion stinger… Which functioned like a built in hypodermic needle in scorpions naturally… So it may as well be the same.
Marrow budgeted slightly and looked uncomfortable… she’d never actually killed a human before that…”I don’t know how it works with you two… Or if you can for that matter… But the aftermath wasn’t pretty…. Not bloody or something… but… He looked like some mummy from a sandy desert, hurried under the dunes till the heat and salt sucked away all the moisture… like a mummy… Of sorts..” Marrow fidgeted visibly and was clearly uncomfortable talking about it… but better they learn second hand than do it themselves right? ”I… I hope he didn’t suffer much… but he weakened so fast he didn’t say anything or many any noise… So I don’t know…” Marrow didn’t want to speak on it any longer, she never wanted to, but had felt it important to. For now, she only wanted to not think on it not speak on it more. The first was hard, but hopefully the second could be granted. The topic pained her, and it perhaps wasn’t hard to see.
Marrow shook her head and listened, but this time to Jinzon. He had killed them anyway? Because he didn’t know how his mother would take their regret? She understood the bit about law being ineffective sometimes… but she found she had to question his free will if he killed because he couldn’t be sure if she's have wanted him to or not. Where did his opinion on it enter into that equation? That was troubling. But… She didn’t mention it. She could like holes in any correct morality he posed and vice versa. If right and wrong could be penned all complete and foolproof, philosophers could put down their pens and find something else to do. A debate about his morality was doomed to a stalemate if he had any debate skill at all. And it was pointless. She could merely hope he came to have more respect for what it takes to remorse, and learn some more mercy. Besides all that, he could have phrased it badly or she could have misunderstood. Knowing this, she tried not to judge him for it, for that was foolish too.

(My great apologies but I hope we can get back to a quicker pace. I blame no one but… I tend to lose interest in places when I can’t do there and with my topics moving so slowly… I’d rather not unintentionally leave this forum by simply ending up forgetting… No worries! It’s just my own issue I want to avoid. If you two prefer to end it, that’s fine to. Just in case you want to, I’d like Zeni (I want those heavy weights XD) Again, I leave this up to you two, as I am happy to go on if we can pick it up a little bit. ^~^ not blaming anyone, as I said. )

He tilted his head lightly listening to Marrow and Scarlett respectively. There was still a great deal he didn't know himself but he was still learning when he could and where he could. But with much of his time focused on training his mind and body as well as his skills, that left little else to do. And his lack of desire to socialize with other people also hindered his learning of the social graces and such. He never really saw a need for it personally. At the mention and description of absorbing though, he looked at his hands. Remembering the time he had done that himself. It had been a source of pain for a few moments to the victim, but there had been nothing left but clothes once he finished.
Was there that vast a difference in how it worked? Did each of their designs truly show just how different they could be to be of the same...race? It was possible of course, but still it was something to ponder, if even for a short while. What was the purpose and why? Wouldn't it be better to just have a creation resemble the people they are meant to imitate? Or was it some latent desire to make something that could scare people? He would never really know that in the end. No one would. He looked up to Scarlett and gave a light chuckle and shook his head. Softer? In stance, and outward appearance? He did smile or grin but it was rare enough.
" I am unsure how showing softness would be worthwhile. Showing that has often lead people to being taken advantage off, attacked and various other negative reactions. Other than finding a possible mate or to reassure a child, softness has no real use, at least not for a fighter. " What Scarlett and likely Marrow didn't realize about his story, was that he had no idea on how to deal with situations like that. He had no concept of morality and the implications that went along with it. Killing to complete his mothers work had been his task, and he chose to honor that. He still wondered if sparing the few that had shown true regret would have been the better option or not. He literally had to learn about the small details of life on his own. And he was still learning them.

Marrow sighed softly before Scarlet started speaking. She listened and was somewhat reassured to hear that. It was good to hear that from someone else. She told herself as much but the problem with that is convincing herself. Humans said the first kill was the hardest right? She’d heard somewhere that soldiers often had more issues after the first, police just as much. Perhaps it wouldn’t be as hard on her emotions if it came to it again, and she dearly hoped it didn’t. Still… she couldn’t deny she prefered this body. Sure she couldn’t just casually walk up and down walls anymore, but flying got you there faster anyway right? And speaking for once. Marrow remembered when she left that home, having spoken for the first time. She’d learned the language and meaning… well… perhaps it was more like the language was programmed into her or something? She supposed it was all the same either way. Marrow listened more as the topic moved on. She had to agree, he was… Imposing to say the least, and quite intimidating. It would do him some good to show some softness. Marrow nodded as she turned the topic to her. That would be tricky, she moved it around without thinking about it…. It would be like trying to walk differently constantly. It’d take practice. But then Jinzon was talking. And Marrow was not at all thrilled by what he was saying. Softness and being taken advantage of could be true certainly, but how would he be taken advances. Scarlet was basically saying fake softness of nothing else… again, she found herself wondering if he was… almost psychopathic, he didn’t seem to feel remorse or forgiveness, he talked of killing people but showed no softness… she wasn’t sure what to make of him. But… To each their own right? Kinda? ”Thanks for the pointed Scarlet, though that will take a bit of practice. But… my apologies… I feel the time has come to leave this place and explore, I’ve never been able to before. I guess I’ve said my goodbyes to my past here and want to move forward.” She’d like a bit of company but could find no way of politely asking in front if Jinzon without welcoming him too. So if she asked or expressed interest in conning along, she’d agree happily, and if not she’d ask Scarlet after Jinzon left. Marrow would happily welcome Scarlet if asked, and give a friendly wave to both and walk away if not, and find her later.

And on the off chance I get at least 4k is it possible to get the heavy waits directly? I doubt the Zeni would be enough and that you’d allow it..m But on the off chance I don’t want to regret not asking. ]
