Emilena: Gee, sure is nice to be popular...

Quote

Emilena, do you like Nairda?

To be honest, I liked him a lot more before I slept with him. I thought he understood I was being flooded with hormones from an unsolicited neurocotics patch applied to me during combat, I had very few other options available to even remotely approach an operational condition. But if course now he seems to expect me to joyously fling myself on him at every opportunity, but I abhor sexuality. That hasn't and will not change.

Quote

Emilena - Did you ever think you'd visit your parents? How does it feel to see them again?

God...of course I thought about visiting them at times in my life, but it never seemed worth it. They'd no doubt just piss me off and I had nothing to say to them. This visit is only occurring because I have run out of absolutely every other option. And to be honest, even now I'm regretting coming here.

Quote

emilrena- how did you escape styrikers torture chamber?

I don't know...I don't know. I eventually had to stop thinking about it, or else I'd still be lying in the forest bleeding to death. Once my head clears and my loathsome parents are out of my life, I hopefully will get a chance to investigate or collect my thoughts.
-----------------------------
Kojurro, what's your opinion of Lily now that she's physically mutated and proved she'd rather jump out of a moving vehicle than stay with you? And are you still harboring hope to hook up with her?

Anne, what's your opinion of biproxytol? Would you use it?

Marcus, how has Aaron been doing? And what are your thoughts on your current situation?

Pterano · **Reply #183 on:** February 21, 2014, 09:11:33 PM

Tony: OK so I think I received three questions in my absence, and I'll get to answering those. The first was what would I do career wise if not inheriting my father's empire. Basically, I'd be the next James Bond. I mean come on! We haven't had a furry James Bond yet, and I think I could really step into that role and and give anthros a chance to see a James Bond with fur! Just think of how cool that would be!

Though in all seriousness, I don't know. The only thing that comes to mind are action roles similar to James Bond, so maybe a government special forces agent of some kind? It's really hard for me to say simply because I've never really had to think about it before.

Next question was what if I was told Axel was a spy for Agent Lupis. I'd feel like my brain would probably explode. He was trying to save her this whole time, and really fooled us all with his act! I might kill him but... I'm not sure I'd have the heart. Probably just sock him several times and ask him why? Then, maybe, if I could bring myself to... yeah, I'd probably deal with him. Can't show weakness now that I'm being considered for underboss, but it wouldn't be pleasant for me. *sighs*

Final question was, did I really think my plan would work. Well if you're talking about the current plan we have in motion, absolutely! I read about it once in a prison break, and it seems like a pretty feasible strategy to me. If it doesn't work... we're all screwed basically, so I tried to plan it out as best I could.

Don Stracci: Human organs. I don't really believe in organ harvesting, and won't deal in that stuff. Also, dead bodies. You'd be surprised there's actually a demand for 'em, but I won't deal in 'em. Other than that, sky's really the limit. While I'm not an actual "Amazon" type service, I'm not adverse to dealing in things that are in relatively high demand, legal or not.

Marcus: Tell me more about this "someone" that was once in your life. I'm fascinated.

Nairda: What are your plans for Emelina when the Purifiers and your arch-nemesis Marcus go down?

Soren: If you could take your revenge on Emelina in any way imaginable, what would you do?

Serris · **Reply #184 on:** February 22, 2014, 05:47:58 AM

Soren: Toss her off an elevated walkway; feed her to the catfish and crabs; or maybe just run her groin-first through a CNC laser milling machine.

Anne: Fuck no! That shit's expensive and there's a very high risk you'll get a bad batch that'll kill you or fuck your brain up so badly you'll basically have the mental capacity of a foal!

Kojuuro, why the hell did you pick a fight with Piotr Kozlov?

Emilena, why did you attack Soren when you first saw him?

Marcus, have you ever killed an Augment?

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #185 on:** February 22, 2014, 06:48:47 AM

Emilena: Establishment of authority is an important and basic step in getting things clear to suspects. Don't know if its the over-reliance on technology or just general stupidity that's dimmed their wits, but Augments need to be treated essentially like children or else they'll miss the subtle nuances of what you're trying to say. A low jab to the solar plexus would explain even to a baby exactly who is calling the shots in this interaction.

Soren, to quote Bushwacked - Is there any way you could see yourself forgiving Emilena for what she's done to you?

Marcus, how has Aaron been doing? And what are your thoughts on your current situation?

Marcus: Aaron's been performing decently. His survival during his first mission indicates some level of potential in any case, especially considering the fact he survived direct engagement with Kibigami. As for the current situation.. the sooner this guard has a bullet in his skull, the better.

Quote

Marcus: Tell me more about this "someone" that was once in your life. I'm fascinated.

Marcus: This isn't something I like to talk about. But fine. The abridged version. When I was younger, I was... involved with a woman. Someone I'd known for a long time. We had a 2 year old son. He liked to watch basketball on TV, something about the ball bouncing around made him laugh. When I was away on duty, a group of augmented broke into our apartment and... did things to them, then killed them both. When I was discharged and I found out what had happened, I went looking for the ones responsible, and eventually the Purifiers helped me find them. That's all there is to it.

Quote

Marcus, have you ever killed an Augment?

Marcus: Of course. You might as well have asked me if I've ever crushed a cockroach.

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

Lily - If you somehow manage to stop turning into a creepy monster, and go back to looking normal, what would your plans be?

Tony - How did you wind up joining the Purifiers in the first place?

Anne - What made you go for a telepathic unicorn horn augment?

Kojurro: , i was in a pissy mood, and felt like getting into a scrap.. which turned out to be a mistake, as i picked the wrong guy to mess with. now i'm just trying to get out of here in one piece.. As for lily, no, i'm not interested in science experiments gone amok. i hit on her hard i admit, but now shes gone all X-men on me, i'll pass.
Ask marie and Marita anything

Serris · **Reply #188 on:** February 23, 2014, 05:09:53 PM

Soren: Me, forgive Emilena? You have got to be kidding me!

Anne: Ever since I was a little filly, I wanted to be a unicorn. When I was born in the early 2000s, cybernetics were incredibly crude. In high school, all the cool kids had body mods – some went for brands, some went for piercings some went for tats, some even went for implants – were the "in" thing. Of course, my mom wouldn't let me get a horn implant. And they aren't exactly cheap. Once I finished grad school and got a job as an oil farmer, I could finally save up enough for a cosmetic horn implant. Of course, augmentations at this time were now commonplace. And I chose a radio telepathy implant partly I can build stashes that won't open unless I command it to and I always have a radio on hand.

Axel, what's your opinion on the older genetic augmentations.

Marcus, have you ever killed a Baseline?

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #189 on:** February 25, 2014, 10:45:26 PM

Lily: Oh gosh...I honestly don't want to think about it...not that I can't answer the question, there are some obvious ways to go about that...but I'm pretty sure everyone knows that's not going to happen. I don't really want to think about what could have been...

Nairda: Marriage of course! You know its impossible for two beings to share romantic attraction without being destined for a lifetime of wedded bliss and companionship~! We'll live happily ever after, unless one of us dies and then the survivor is a shriveled and depressed shadow of their former selves who never gets over it and never stops talking about their true love even when everyone else has forgotten about them~! That's just how my reality works!~...!

Soren: How does your reality work?

Axel: what's your opinion on Kojurro? He was hitting on Lily pretty transparently.

Marita: To what question would you most likely reply "answers may vary"?

Marie: How would you say you and Marita differ as characters?

Rose: You look down and someone left a big bag of biproxytol on the sidewalk. Its top grade. What do you do?

Tony: You seem to be allying with most of these people out of necessity. Once you're a mafia don and can choose your friends, what do you plan to do with the ones you have now?

Pterano · **Reply #190 on:** February 26, 2014, 01:07:00 AM

Tony: Oh that's kind of a simple story. You see... my dad just wasn't taking me seriously. He said I needed to grow up constantly. He made me drive his delivery trucks... bo-ring! I wanted more! I wanted to mean something to him! But everything I tried, he told me I wasn't ready yet. So I decided the hell with it. I was gonna prove to him I was ready by joining the toughest bunch I could think of... the Purifiers. I was really starting to get scared by augments and how they could take away jobs, and I was afraid it'd run rampant and out of control. So I joined the Purifiers to prove to my dad I could be tough, and because I didn't like augments... and I'm still getting over that fact too. Guess I got myself in a little too deep though, huh?

Tony: You think it's out of necessity? Well... OK yeah maybe it was at first but... I really feel for Axel, and his plight... and I'm coming to respect him a lot more now. He's someone I'd like to call friend. I would love to help them all once I become don of my family. I mean they helped me... and didn't kill me either, so I owe them a lot. Any service I can provide... I'd do it. I guess there's that old saying from Henry V: "He who sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother." We've... yeah, kind of shed blood together. It's how it feels at least. I want Axel and Lily to just live happily together... and for us to get to the bottom of whatever's ailing Lily. He's suffered through a lot... and I just kind of want that to be over.

Marcus: So you blame the augments for what they did to your wife. Do you ever consider not all augments are like that? Or is the burning hatred too great?

Nairda: You seem like a stud. How many concurrent relationships have you ever been in at any one point in time?

Nick22 · **Reply #191 on:** February 26, 2014, 01:21:02 AM

marie: well marita never worked at a strip club, i'm not that great with computers, and the reason i'm coming along on this ' quest' is because, well those girls have become my friends and i like to stick by them. don't want it said of me that i bailed when the going got tough.plus, they helped me out when i was wandering around after the club blew up. our characters differ thusly, shes smarter than me, not afraid to speak her mind, while i'm more reserved.i wonder how things will shake out once this is all over

marita: a good question. ' i suppose the best answer would be how i got so good at computers. lots of spare time and a need to experiments in terms of finding out stuff, and given how hopelessly corrupt this city is, you dont get very far by always being on the up and up. a lot of people hack and steal in order to get by, i should know.

Rose: that might be the most loaded question you could ask me. i would SO want to take it and use it, and i'd likely blow through it in a matter of days. BUT that would make detox harder, and i want my newly reformed relationship with Marita to work taking and using it, after all the money and goodwill i've blown through while hooked on it, i.. just couldnt do it.

Axel, what's your opinion on the older genetic augmentations.

Axel: Oh, they're pretty good. I mean, the newer augmentations they're coming out with are probably a little more useful, but some of the old ones were neat. Like, I know there was one where you could completely change your fur colour. Hey, I could have been all, like, rainbow coloured! Actually... that might have looked a little weird.

Quote

Marcus, have you ever killed a Baseline?

Marcus: When I have to. If they're helping augmented. If they get in my way. But normally, I try not to. There's few enough of us as it is.

Quote

Axel: what's your opinion on Kojurro? He was hitting on Lily pretty transparently.

Axel: Yeah, I... I noticed that. If it was just some kind of attraction he had for her, then... I mean, I wouldn't be happy about it, but there's not much I could do. There... there was something else though. I mean, back in the infirmary, she seemed petrified of him. I don't know what, but something must have happened in the truck when they were alone... Well, whatever it was, there's no way in hell I'd let him be alone with her now.

Quote

Marcus: So you blame the augments for what they did to your wife. Do you ever consider not all augments are like that? Or is the burning hatred too great?

Marcus: It opened my eyes. When you change yourself like that, give yourself a leg up over the rest of the world, of course you'd look down on everyone else. Why wouldn't you? To them, the pure are just one step up from cattle, something less than themselves that they can use to get ahead. What happened to my family... it'd be easy for that to happen again, and again to other people. The augmented are dangerous. We have to stand against them.

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

Soren - What made you want to work with augmentations? Following in the footsteps of a parent?

Tony - What would you do if you become head of the family business and Caroline starts trying to take it over from you?

Emilena - Ever wish you could have bonded with Sanjaay before you were separated?

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #193 on:** February 27, 2014, 05:57:40 PM

Nairda: But that's the other thing about me (and characters written by my original author)! Despite never shutting up about sexuality and wanting to do hundred-page long sex scenes, we always admit on our first night with the girl that we're virgins, so that the scene can have that much more impact! It doesn't have to make sense!

Emilena: I damn well tried that the first time we met...Drugged and wounded, I crawled over to the sleazy snake and asked him to work with me to safely escape the Electric Sheep. He took one look at my state and abandoned me to my fate. Had I any interest in working with him after that, it was dashed when he proved to be complete idiot after Lupis recruited us (and presumably before, considering the Purifiers captured him). I'm hardly surprised his words were the ones that spelled my doom in that mansion.

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

Soren: Do you ever wish you were born in another time and place? If so, when?

Rhageson: Why are you putting any faith in Lupis being able to fulfill his end?

Kojurro: Are you hoping to reunite with the group, or will you be going it alone, considering their current opinion of you?

Nick22 · **Reply #194 on:** February 27, 2014, 06:09:15 PM

Kojuuro: well i hope to rejoin them at some point, since i really dont have anyone else to turn to right now. yeah i pissed them off, but in the end, i'll make it up to them, somehow. not sure exactly how to pull that off right now, but give me some time to think it over.

Rhageson: Why are you putting any faith in Lupis being able to fulfill his end?

Rhaegson: A guy doesn't get to be in his position by being a complete screw up. So it's reasonable to assume Lupis is at least semi-capable of getting stuff done, no? 'Sides, I've done my homework... He'll get it done. For his sake.

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

Lupis - If you'd managed to force the mutant's consciousness out of Lily and back into its old body, was there any way you were actually going to let Lily and Axel leave the compound alive?

Serris · **Reply #196 on:** March 04, 2014, 02:21:03 PM

Soren: What the hell are you blabbering about? "How my reality works!?"

As for how I got into working with augmentations. Well, I've always had a knack for electronics and mechanics. A double major in computer science and mechanical engineering in college probably helped. And of course, Axel Whent played a role in getting me to open my business.

As for being born in a different time and place? I've always wondered what the 1950s Atomic and Space Age was like.

-marita: No, never got caught, although i've had a couple close calls. nearly got busted for biproxytol possession when i was hooked on it, which carries a very lengthy prison term. i managed to get rid of the stuff i had on me by dumping it into a open sewer grate. it was that close call which convinced me to quit. i burned all my remaining stock as well as any paraphernalia i had on me. made a big fire in my fire place and watched the stuff burn. that stuff actua;;y is rather flamable, in case you are wondering.

Lupis: I am a man of my word. Had Axel cooperated in full on what honestly was my best guess at saving Ms. North's life, I would have seen to it that both of them get an opportunity to live away from the effect radius of this ordeal. The era of having people always 'silenced' is gone; nowadays we have more advanced methods for removing willing participants from the equation. A memory wipe of the past few days would be mandatory, and additional relocation from the city would be preferred, but their lives could have been theirs to live. And for the record, its certainly not my fault that offer broke down.

Nairda: ...Something incredibly unwilling and not my fault of course......you see, now that its quite clear that Emilena won't sleep with me unless I despise Augments, my backstory conveniently can adjust itself so that these Augments were all medically necessary and not my choice at all. Yes, the retractable wrist blades, subdermal armor, reflexive brain-controlled auto-aim and reinforced force-dampening ankles were all needed to heal my unexplained past wounds...I despise what I've become and totally didn't choose this lifestyle, not counting all the time I've spent training under an Augmented super-soldier, declaring Purifiers to be my arch-enemies and fighting Robin Hood-style to defend Augments targeted by hate crimes...

Kojurro, if you actually trained Adrian for his entire adolescence, and was a close friend of his parents, why didn't you ever mention this fact to him?
