PostSubject: Three Fabulous Toys   Three Fabulous Toys Icon_minitimeThu Feb 10, 2011 6:01 pm

The best laid plans of mice and men, often derail in the most spectacular fashion.

Once upon a time, in a place your unlikely to have heard of, money appeared to be pouring out of everything. Those who gained the increasing wealth used it to float away from the masses below in their simplicity and dirt. They built to the clouds and made their own heavens on their top floors. Their civilization had reached its golden era, those lucky few peered down every so often. Sometimes to spit, or maybe to throw away left-overs.

But then these heavenly people realised that their forms let them down. Noses too long, face too wide or something sagging too much. Sound familiar? Vanity is, sadly, universal. Now, this became a market that a particular company could exploit the elite of the sky. The profit gained would raise the companies shareholders above everyone else.They could build several towers into the sky. A monumental dream of these people, despite the trouble of filling just one skyscraper. The company had to go big, setting their brightest minds to create ways of going past mere 'cosmetic surgery'.

Eventually, three monoliths of science, technology and achievement were designed and put into production.

The First was dubbed 'The Right To Beauty'. Sometimes referred to as 'the surgeon-o-matic'. This was cosmetic surgery far further developed than that of simple cutting. This machine was able to sculpt flesh, cartilage and bone. Molten marrow could be made into a statue of The Virgin Mary at prayer if you wanted. It could create limbs, weld skin and put most creation deities to shame. For a fee of course.

The Second was dubbed 'The Right To Clean Thought'. It seems that the first machine was changed into that of a neurosurgeon because everything else is easy in comparison to a brain, it appears. Phobias, habits, nightmares and terrible memories can be purged from the client. New languages, knowledge, social graces, confidence and even new skills could be downloaded. It was thought to be very popular.

The Third was dubbed 'The Right To A Good Life'. The device was thought of to be the most dangerous and so had the highest of prices. It was planned to be put in the highest security that could be afforded for the device was a surgeon of history. A bizarre machine that wasn't fully understood: they knew it would work, they didn't know how. This was marketed as a way of swapping lives with another. The two would be transplanted into each others' lives, sometimes causing changes in the events simply for being a different person. This was the most feared machine. People were to be hired to investigate the client's entire life and hypothesise how the second person would live that life and its consequences. Finally, a machine for the jealous to take what they desire.

The next part of the story is simple: Revolution. Their equivalent of Marxism spread through the billions on the surface. They took the towers in the sky with their forceful numbers, declaring them their new home, kicking the elite from their perches to become a smear on the ground rather than a dot in the sky.

The company moved their almost complete machines to a new location. They new that the greed and vanity they wanted to take advantage of will grow again in the new order of things. So they finished their machines. These three machines, from scrap and springs and sharp things. They're creatures of vanity's salvation were built, half glittering shine and half rust and blotchy scarlet.


"The history lesson is fascinating but I don't understand what it has to do with us?" Pads made dull thuds as they stormed in front of the prisoners. The occasional sweep of black, white-tipped brushes on the cool floor.
"Sarcasm and a no hint of picking up where I'm leading. Rather stupid, aren't we? Have you no sense of narrative? No idea what a lead-up is?" He said without actually looking towards his captives. Its an intimidation thing...
"Be quiet! Our top men have been alerted! They will hunt you down within the hour. You cannot get away with this." The squat, red-faced man looked like he'd blow his top. His large cheeks wobbled as he shock his head.
"No. The correct answer is 'Yes, we are, My Lord'." His flat tone showed his distaste. They all passed through sliding glass doors. The prisoners were made to halt before the mangled majesty of three machines. Axels, pistons, gear levers, wheel hubs, metal scraps all sat in awkward juxtaposition with brand new, just blown glass domes or tubes with state-of-the-art terminals or polished chrome panels. Their computing brains chimed together in random melodies as his men continued to check, tinker and maintain these bizarre machines.
"What in all of creation are these?" Piped up the self-appointed leader of the captives. At least we was still up to talking. He thought it was stupidity or bravery coming through. Its a fine line.

"A fairy tale of business. Each machine is a way of changing oneself." His metal plated hand gestures towards the machine to his left. "His first machine that was intended to revolutionise cosmetic surgery operations. It is a marvel of engineering and your modern surgery techniques. It is part robotic surgeon, part Deity as it carves and remakes your body a-new."

The hand moves to in front of him to what looks like the worlds most frightening dentist chair.

"Von Damm, one of the minds that built this said it was an attempt at curing personality traits the owners found unsavoury, ladies and gentlemen. A Neural mechanic that can isolate the part of your tiny little psyches and remove it. Forgetfulness, Jealousy, Wrathfulness, Sloth can all be pulled out of your little heads, never to be worried about again. We can even put traits back. New ones that we might find useful, like Wrathfulness, Obedience, Depression, Insomnia, Paranoia or even another personality altogether. "

"But," He paused for the dramatic effect. Intimidation is a show, after all. "These are nothing but complicated pairs of scissors in the complexity of -"

The lead up was larger than he liked but his heavy and swift rush towards the final machine would have to do. Three tubes, one with a console inside with a constantly throbbing grill, pumping energy round the pipes of the machine like a heart within a heath. He beams at his captives.

"This! This is a machine that will surgically transplant your time-line to someone else while placing you in there's. One past is replaced slowly with another, causing simple ripples though your own time-line. Sometimes nothing major happens but you need the right pair, or so I'm told. This hasn't been tested yet. I'm sure you'll help. It was sold eventually after no-one paid to use it as a way of making an alternate universe to physicists."

"Your, your 'toys' don't scare us!" The short, fat one was getting to be rather good fun. He put up a little fight at least.

"Maybe my toys will when we send you through the first of my machines and stop it halfway." The grin slit across his face like it had cut open his lips.


The deck chair sat in the golden sun with the snoozing Tyro slumped in its sling. The slow intakes of breath that occasionally rumble with a snore.

As soon as Lilly walk into the town she sees that nearly everyone is missing and a huge tower is in the middle of this town. Her brown hair is up in a pontytail, and in her hands are her guns. She walks closer to the tower and the hairs on the back of her neck goes up.

She have a bad feeling about this place, but she have to try to help as many people as she can. She opens the door to the tower and they are unlocked, so she went in. Deeper she went the more she feels this a place for a mad man. Then she when into the room that hold three machines that she heard about only in rumors.

That is where she sees a group of people that are lead to a man, who to her looks mad. With guns in hand she stay to the shadows of the room, and she waits for her moment to help those people. She listen to what the man said, but she don't like his tone.

Then a guard came up behind her and grab her. She is pulled into the light of the room to for the mad man to see. "This is not right." she said with dull roar as she tries to fight back. Her eyes change to a bright green because she is pissed off.

James moves out of the shadows on the other side of the hall, it was him who had set up the trap for the young and stupid girl. While the professor would not have been able to see into the shadows from his position, he had chosen his spot so his vision was not hampered in any way.

As he walked the soft click of expensive shoes, on an expensive floor echoed in the space. The professor already knew about his habits and would find no need to turn and check on him as he crossed the floor and loomed over the woman.

His voice come out as a soft purr, one would be able to tell he was if anything more evil then the professor. While the professor seemed to think he was helping people in some way or another, james had no such idea. He was not crazy, he knew what he was really doing, and you could tell, he was very much listened to around here. All of this and more he held in his voice.

"Well, well. The last time I checked, you were not on the list for this party. But I'm a sympathetic man, if you really want to join this party so badly then I guess I can let you."

His fingers moved as a blur as he reached over and disassembled the girls guns while she held them in her hands.
He leaned back and clicked his fingers and the guard responded by cuffing her and dragging her over to the others.

A low humorless laugh escaped his lips as he walked over to stand beside the professor. His fingers ran over the nearest of the machines as he spoke "Do you want me to start the starting procedures?"
He was the only person other then the prisoners who didn't call him sir or some other alternative, this was because it was because of him the machines even worked in the first place.
He was as one would say, a technopath of sorts.

The rounded face looked up to meet with the muzzle of this creature threatening them with cosmetic mutilation. They were eye to eye in a silent taunt, the creature flaunting its dominance with its key understanding that this part of people were doomed. The man stared straight into the ebony irises surrounding the black pupils of that animal's face and saw nothing but-

"Well, well. Last time I checked, you were not on the list for this party." Oh bugger it! What the bloody hell is it now? "But I am a sympathetic man, if you really want to join this party so badly then I guess I can let you." Kyrios turned to look to an entrance to the machines' room. It seemed Dr Altor was flexing his ego. Problem was that
it had put his own off track. He looks to his mean at either side of the representatives.
"They go no-where. They move, they get a black eye." A nod and the Black Fox was off to where James was dismantling a guns. Ah! Well, the stick-like ponce has found someone actually worth putting through his favourite. The adventuring type was expected. Although, he was expecting another of their breed. James sort of turned, walking straight for Kyrios and stopped when their paths met somewhere in the middle. While one of the thugs lugged the girl towards the others with many a shove, James moved to the console of 'The Right To A Good Life', practically caressing those buttons.
"Do you want me to start the starting procedures?" He said.

Quite a find, he told himself, he worked on these things. He's good to have on the team. Even if he does talk to me like an infant sometimes.

"If your that eager to start hacking at people, put tubby-" He points at the small rounded man that had failed to stand in the face of the Kyrios. "And him, him aaaand, him." He said as he stabbed a finger at the men in the gathering. "And seeing as the cleaning staff for this place has disappeared, the rest will have to do. Condition them who you wish but I'd like to keep this place clean." He made and arrow-straight line Lilly, five tails waving with the speed of his rushed walk. His metal-plated, paw-like hand felt like a leather glove. Rough with no warmth, it grabbed her wrist, jerking away from the group.
"She's going with the guest of honour, whenever Lombard actually finds him." Somehow, this contact felt like you were being given lethargy."Their going into the time-machine."

When her wrist was the hold of by a man that is wearing armor. She tries to fight back, but his touch makes her weaker by the moment. He pull her nearer to the second machine. "You monster, this is no way to treat people." she yell out lightly because she is growing weaker.

She tries to dig her heels into the floor, but this guy is too strong for her. It seems that somehow that he slowly making her weaker. Lilly's face is set in a frown, as she got pinned to the door of the machine.

She hiss lightly as tries to move out of the way. She feels that who ever going in with her seems to be this monsters enemy. "Enemy of her enemy is her friend." is a quote that is right for this moment.

James glanced around at the group "Excellent!" He exclaimed as he moved his way over to 'The Right To Beauty'. His fingers flicked a few buttons and a low hum started from the machine and a light slowly turned from red to green, while he waited he looked over the group to one of the smallest guys, his smile was wicked and the man twitched nervously under his gaze.

He clicked his fingers and the guard dragged the man over to the machine, the man made an effort to try and not go in as the door slid open, but it only lasted a second and suddenly the door was closing over the man. The little light finished turning green and made a small "Ting" sound. James' smile was carefree as he started tapping away at the buttons, slowly he modeled the figure he had in mind for the small man, although the man had been small, a large amount of him would be wasted in what he was planning and so with his foot he tapped a button on a pipe which led into the ground.

Suddenly James walked away and the machine began to hum in earnest, a few gears started moving on the outside and one might have heard the faintest scream from inside before the noise of the machine flooded the room with its own sound.

On the screen near where James had been working, a small 3D diagram of a small half human, half dog settled on the screen.

"You monster, this is no way to treat people." This got a massive and explosive laugh from the black fox that held Lilly's arm. If you imagine a powerful V8 revving up, you get a good idea of what this cackle is supposed to be like. But with the intention of embarrassing her for her innocently naive comment.
"I can't hand cake to the traitors of the new order. I use them as an example to those that want to start any of that revolution business." With a directory tug, Kyrios moves Lilly towards a screen. With his free paw, he starts tapping in commands to the computer. A camera feed comes into view above a roof top. There, there is Tyro, stirring from his sleep in the deck chair.

Ahhh...Now, the fact that he used to be on a beach but was now looking up at the glass titans of Velice's buildings wasn't what fazed him actually. You know, being randomly dragged somewhere without prior knowledge comes with the territory, oddly enough. Going from beach to rooftop could have been taken within his stride, it was Lombard the Thirty-Second's blotchy face coming from what looked like a metal killer whale, held up by a round strip of pulsating blue that kept the whole thing in the air. He stood with a hefty net gun. A sort of glorified catapult really.
"I'll need to return the chair at some point y'know." Tyro said as he pushed himself up.
"Shut it!" Lombard said, a voice that had hardly broken yet. Kyrios' right hand man. Although, he had so many right hand men that he looked severely one sided. Tyro had seen off many of this man's ancestors that had taken up the same post.
"Look, I think I'll come quietly. The old sod's obviously taken a long bloody time planning all this. I might as well oblige him so I can then hit him in the head, ruin everything then run off to leave him and his bruised ego take its frustrations out on you lot."
"Your joking will not save your, fox." Lombard was keeping up the aggression, irrespective of whether it was making any difference. Tyro thought the best thing was to simply raise his hands.
"Look, I'd like to see what he's going to try and kill me with next, all right?" But the henchmen slipping down from the craft behind Lombard were surrounding him regardless of Tyro's compliance. They all held odd sticks with neck-sized claws at the end.
"You guys have every right to not trust me." Tyro said, attempting a sympathetic smile, hands still up. "But I'm being honest here. You don't need those." One of the men produced something with a spike in the corner of his eye.
"I'm coming quietly!" At the sign that the man with the siky thing was coming forwards, his hand made a fist and sailed straight into him. It struck armour, uselessly bouncing off. Before you could say "ow", everything

[slight time skip]

turned to blackness to be replaced eventually by a glass tube. As Tyro came round, sitting like a doll in the Right To A Good Life's subject tube. He could see Kyrios' signature grin on his face. and some guy that seemed to have been malnourished for most of his life standing at a console. Tyro looked around the bell jar he found himself in, marvelling at how clean it looked. He could see the throbbing heart of the machine, churning away meaningfully to itself in an apparent stand-by. It seemed pretty busy just for being idle. A fire of some kind seemed to be raging behind the grates in the machine but they gave off no smoke. Lilly was lead to the second bell-jar adjacent to Tyro's by a purple-armoured guard. Once she was under it, the glass slid closed around her, hydraulics making a sound all new things make when awoken from stillness for their first real time.

"Look." Tyro said as he stood, somewhat shaky. He addresses Kyrios from his jar. "I'm not that interested in your silly little deadify-ing machine. Ha-ha! Let's test the murder-o-matic on the fox that'll just come back in a bit. Its actually starting to get really boring. Can you not try it out on someone living and with stay dead? I mean, I was worlds away! Your just becoming incredibly sad for going to such lengths to find me specifically." Some how, the grin on Kyrios' face got wider.

"Ah, my long enemy." Kyrios began, taking small steps towards the two jars. "For once, I test a machine of new life upon you and-" He waves a hand vaguely in Lilly's direction. "This random girl that thought she'd try and just waltz in here. We're throwing her in there with you." Now, standing about an arms length from Tyro's face, his eyes growling behind the glass, Kyrios pivots towards James on the console.
"Begin." He said simply. The change would be rather slow.

(if you don't mind Thepsy, I'm planning on describing the process of this machine. Make your post as long or short as you please but don't describe the machine's process. Thank you.)

Then she thrown in to a glass tube, and she knows that it is not good. Lilly sees someone else in the other tube, and have a feeling that was the enemy of the man who seems want to rule the world. She starts beats the glass hoping to break it, when the sound of the mechin starting up.

The brown hair girl starts to have a feeling of sadness, because she cannot get out and she going to lose her history. Her eyes change to a steel gray color when she feels that way. She don't want to lose what made her the way she is. She beat the glass until her hands starts to beat. Which she starts to cry softly, but she wipes them away so she will not show her weakness in front of them.

"You are truly a monster." she yell out thru the glass. Once she gets out she will find the guy in the other tube and kick the monster's butt.

James looks across from 'The Right To A Clear Mind' ((Trying to remember those is going to kill me.)) and sighed slightly, his own personal opinion did not match the Professor's. He liked the other two machines but he was the key to them, the third was a mystery, something even he had trouble figuring out.

He moved slowly to the Profess' favorite and started tapping buttons until he had it right.

He turned, his face a mask of boredom as 'The Right To Beauty' clicked open and let out a small fox-man.
He had the bone structure of a dog, with the head of a man and fur all over. Yes this would be fun.

(Thanks Thepsy!)

As James expertly skimmed over the machines controls that he helped build with all the cheer of a wet weekend, Lilly failed, completely, to hide her fear.
"You truly are a monster!" The black fox's face lit up in an awe-like staring. Suddenly, he let out a grand roar of laughter. Remember the V8 engine laugh from before? This cackle is like that same engine ripping itself apart, bending Kyrios at the middle as he holds the metal plates covering his stomach to stop the pain, probably. Once finished after about fifteen seconds, he stood up, taking in a big breath.
"That's all relative. Oddly enough, a phrase your going to have to get used too." The grin sliced its way back on that muzzle, stubborn to be moved for too long. Tyro had been staring at Lilly in the other tube, sort of indifferent. He really wasn't sure if they were in any danger. Although, just because he was likely to be fine doesn't mean this girl will be. She doesn't seem like the resurrecting type.

The machine lurches into implied motion. Something is happening behind those grates where the orange, throbbing glow begins to grow. Clanking of some kind came from the mechanisms that held the jars in place. Crystals of strange, crooked hooks that arced the occasional spark between them all rattled as something inside was trying to shake the jar. But there was no danger of the whole glass tube falling over: it was too firmly stuck in the groves of the jar's base. Only a vague vibration. Thick, rubber tubes above the The slits on the machine belched its light for a moment before settling into some sort of hidden grinding of gears. Another up-chuck of light came. Tyro was less than impressed...He looked over to the half-dog man, a smirk on his face.
"Good lookin' fella." A light chuckle was shared between him and Kyrios as a lighting discharge arced from one of the crystal hooks above his own jar. It made him jump.
"Its finally doing something." He said, these hooks springing forwards on long arms. They came to dig lightly into the glass, six lines were scratched out of the glass of the jar with their synced movements. Without pause, and apparent pattern, they began making more scratches in the glass. These apparently random marks began to glow in a faint azure aura upon the glass' surface. Tyro looked across and saw that the same had been done to the jar that held Lilly. Well, this was pretty at least. Interested but waiting for an obvious death with all the enthusiasm of waiting for a bus, Tyro watched as these hooks came to rest in the same places they started. A throb, a deep, overbearing throb, came from within the machines very heart. More of this electric blue lightning fizzled through the machine, the throb getting louder and more frequent. It rose, climbed further, came close to deafening before reaching is crescendo. All activity in the machine seemed to stop, the light blinked out as the lines of aura grew fat and bright. Soon, the whole jar's surface has become a cocoon. Tyro could just see Lilly's do the same.

Inside, he could only see himself in blue. It was pretty weird. He just looked black in here except for his jeans. Seriously, this was just getting beyond a joke. He might as well suck some of this blue lighting off the glass. If he can...

It was then that he saw that his hand wasn't furry. Or black. Quickly, he stared at his palm with a frightened glare. Human, normal, not in anyway like leather like it should be. But the more interesting thing was that half his sleeve on that same arm was in limbo. At one point, it was his usual black shirt. But the other side of that was thick, heavy grey. Built for wear and tear. No, more like damn well expecting it! Quickly he brought up the other hand, only to see flurries of tiny flames flutter off. Each was a piece of his fur burning away, then dissipating in the aura. His hands were rapidly becoming human, his tails shrinking away, he could feel his face....ew, shorten, as he suddenly found out what it felt like to be shaved. He was being shoved back into the ranks of humanity.

Ah fuck...

The hooks on both blue jars raised for only a picosecond before striking the glass. The shards immediately turned to fine powder, dropping heavily to the base of both bases of the machine.

Tyro took a step forwards, a green-eyed stare of pure hate was shot towards Kyrios from behind the black spectacles perched in his face. His hair had natural head highlights, that shimmered as he looked over to the other new figure.

It seemed that the new Lilly was still human in appearance at the moment. Her hair was as close to black as brown has ever managed and all her clothes, down to the white t-shirt with black hems under the black shirt and the grubby, grass and god-knows-what stained jeans looked dishevelled. He could make out a chain around her neck. She had no shoes on. She wouldn't need them any more.

Tyro raised his hands, watching every guard reach for his weapon.
"You got me here."

Lilly only sees blue light around her and started to feels something weird. She started to grow taller, and look down to see a tail growing out the up of her butt and fur all over her body. Then she feels some ears coming forming on her head then all of it disapper when the tube open unto the lab.

She feels the weight of another history on her mind, and she took down at her own clothes to see that they are dirty. Her feet no longer wearing shoes, and she starts to hiss. "What the hell you do to us?" she said with almost roar in her voice.

Her brown hair is almost black, and her eyes are only one color right now deep green. She lightly look at Tyro and it seems that they traded lives. She only rise her eyebrow at the guards they get their weapons. She is trying to calm herself down and grab her weapons the Kitusne tail in her hand in case the guards try to do something.

((NP))

While the machine turned Tyro and Lilly into some crazy mixed up versions of each other and themselves, James was busy with his experiment.

It had tried to stand up, this made it about 5' tall with bent legs. Of course it stumbled back, not used to its body. Amazingly the second time it tried it got it right, it stood on it's extra long paws and growled at the guards. It's face was just a little longer then a humans, but it was filled with sharp teeth, it's jaws looked powerful and so did it's legs and 'arms'. All of these extremities had sharp looking claws attached.

It laughed itself at one of the guards who tackled it down with the help of another. James clicked his fingers and the Wolf-person (As it's gender was stolen.) was carried by the guards over to the second machine. In seconds the thing was buckled into the machine as once again James set about working on it. This time though, he worked on it's mind.

His fingers were close to a blur as he took and placed the personality he wanted the thing to have, ultimately he made it loyal to him and the Professor. Then he added in fighting instincts and a love for battle. Battle rage come next, lack of fear, and the ability to dull the pain it felt followed close behind;

He continued to give and take from the things mind until he had completely destroyed the personality of the man whose life he had used to animate this creature. He flicked a switch and it leapt out of the clamps which had now let it go. Strangely enough this was the same time as Lilly started yelling.

Slowly the genderless creature moved over to place itself in front of the Professor. From the group of men who remained one man gasped out one word "Abomination." Now the question of that was who he was talking about, the creature, James or the Professor.

Tyro looks towards Lilly, ears and tails and all.
"Good question! What the bloody hell?!" He points to the coat, the jeans that weren't caked in years worth of....something and the Iron Maiden T-shirt before putting his hands up again. But he looks back at Lilly, mainly what she had in her hands.
"I thought I'd left that back at my chair..." Tyro said, frowning at the weapon. The dog-monster nearly tramples Tyro as it moves quickly to place himself infront of Kyrios. But, he's less than impressed, skirting around the creature, gesturing it to stay put.
"Well , Lilly has a better memory than you, of course." Kyrios said as he began to make his way towards Lilly. "Time has now made a fool of you, Tyro. Now its Lilly's turn. Funny how I know that name now. How its engraved in my fore-brain."

Kyrios stops, his face a stony mask of serious business. He addresses Lilly with the tone used to scald a child.
"You will have two minutes to exit this building. I don't want to see the pair of you anywhere near this building. I don't even want to see you anywhere near this city, do I make myself clear. Both of you will be shot on sight by my men." There was a moments pause as Tyro's eyes flicked around the room. The guards weren't doing anything much. Thankfully...He took this as a sign that running would be a good idea. In fact, it would be the best idea he's ever had in his new life. He dashes to Lilly, grabbing her by the arm, leading her out of the room and back through the building that he remembered coming in by....

The streets of Velice at ground level were dark, even in the light. The sleek skyscrapers blocked out most sunlight with their glass and white metal bodies. The tarmacked streets were well lit though, people walking past the no-one and the fox-girl, giving her odd looks. Tyro lead them forwards, fearing for his life. Something genuinely new.

The man name Tyro grab her hand, and lead her away from that Kitune named Kyrios. She knows him from memories that is not her own. Out the street people looks at her weird, but she don't care at the moment. She follow Tyro outside of the town, he is wearing her clothes before the change of history.

"I think I know what happen." she said once they are safe from Lord Kyrios. She walk to a log and sit down with a sigh. Her ears moves around to hear the sounds that no human can hear. Her tail move back and forth in anger. "He made us change our history with one another." she said lightly. That basterd got the best of them, and she really want to kick his butt.

She wonders what Tyro thinks of this whole thing. He had her memories with her mother, and she had lived his life.

The beast did as it was told and walked over to stand next to James. It seemed to sense that he disapproved of it and it wandered off to the containment facility.

James looked across just as the two ran away. "They just never seem to work right..." James complained "It seems impossible to make a smart fighting beast without making them unreliable."
He frowned, there had to be a way, it was just getting the right mix of emotions and traits into the experiment. Once it was done once, well it should be easy to create an army of such things.

It really was a shame that he could not put experiments back into his mind bending machine, every time he tried to do so it always broke the things mind, turned it crazy and completely unpredictable. It didn't matter what was done to them then, it must be the way he took their minds apart and back together. It made the mind a bit weaker.

He looked towards the Professor, he didn't really know what to do now.

"I know what happened." Lilly declared for the answer that neither really proposed. Tyro noticed the occasional glance at his new companion by the occasional passer-by. He was amazed by how quiet everything seemed. How dead his sensed were. It was like having a cold and and MP3 blaring in your ears.
"You might want to lose the tails and ears." Tyro muttered as Lilly found a log to sit on. Yes that sounds a bit odd on paper but it was one that had been specially moved there. It seemed to be one of those futile attempts at livening up this clean living place by riveting part of a tree to the floor so it can be used as a bench. You could see the heavy and massive nails in the wood.
Lilly concluded her statement:"He made us change our history." That, was actually rather predictable. Let's face it. Kyrios, over the roughly 100 years he's been revolting against him, has done so much to Tyro. He's put Tyro through a machine that's made a soft toy out of him, crushed any mental defences, has his wife murdered, beaten him, bruised him, attacked his friends, cloned one of them and continues to parade her around, takes what he fancies, smears his name in a cult-like fashion in his worlds and just summons him at will whenever he's bored. As he sat next to Lilly, face understandably showing how fed-up he was. The odd, trainers on his feet felt like walking in an oxymoron. Both claustrophobic and restrictive and perfectly comfortable. His brain was still shifting through the new data that had been lumped onto his brain by the sudden change in time. Fine, it was a theory, but it sounded about right. Kyrios was doolally enough to attmpt something like this.
"Sounds about right. I mean. We can check that." His brain flicked through his Kitsune memories where he was the most bizarre thing in almost any room, ignoring the newer memories that his new time-line, if that's true, has dumped on it where he's working in a software company after being fascinated by computers since school.

Hmm...he loses any family he once had completely in either life time....

Anyway, he scours through his fox memories to find something specific to him.
"Errrr....hmmm...errr....Oh! What was the phrase Kyrios used to make Sonja go blind?" He stops to think of another.
"Err...Griffin's second name was?" Pause.
"What did Toivo do for her 18th?" Pause.
"Who's in the pendant around your neck?"
"Err...Yuffie used to like what in the morning?"
"My last girl-friend's name was?"

It was like Mastermind, with the specialist subject being Tyro's soul.


Kyrios, now rid of his new pet project moved on to another. Mainly James. he was an interesting sort. He was wondering what he would be like away from his theory and out in cold hard practice. He needed someone to be his sheriff for these parts while he moved away to conquer. He can't be babysitting this place all the time. Kyrios made cautious steps towards the dog man.
"Interesting, Dr Altor. Very interesting. These altered humans could have amazing uses in a battlefield or maybe policing streets for example. Tell me, how quickly can you alter flesh and blood into..." He gestures with an open hand to the man-imal, starring dopey eyed at Kyrios, apparently all brain power being used on waiting to be eventually told to do something.

"And what about cybernetic augmentations. The machine should be good enough, right?"

She sighs and her ears, tails dissapper after people past by. It is weird to be able to hear everything and feel it. She miss her own body, and human sences. She is piss off and fed up with everything.

Lilly listen to his questions and she aswer them the best she can from her new time line.

"The first on is 'There is not light in darkness'."
"Phoenix"
"Who?"
"Mestari Tuli and that is all I know." she said quietly.

She sighs, and runs her fingers thru her nearly black hair. She close her dark green eyes and she barely rembers her own mother's face thru the new time lines. "I cannot rember being human any more. I cannot see my own mother's face thru is new time line." she said as she open her eyes which has hidden tear in it. Then she starts to think of question of her own.

"I going to ask question of you from my fomer history which you have." she said with a light pause.

"What is Mom's name?"
"How old that I was when she died?"
"What as the first book I have ever read?" she said lightly.

Nothing feels right, and she wants to be human again. That is not going to happen soon. She hardly say anything to anyone, so no one should knows these things.

"Correct, correct, cor-wait......and yeah..." Huh, wha? Tyro tried to think of what the wrong answer he got from Lilly meant. I mean, it was Toivo! His daughter, the witch. THe one with the vampire boyfriend, the girl that fawns over her hat a little to much. How could she not...

The sigh next to him drew his attention away before coming up with anything conclusive.
"I cannot remember being human anymore. I cannot see my own Mother's face through this new time line." She said.
"Hm..." He began, "I can remember that I don't like human feet. I can remember why though, even though these don't feel uncomfortable." That was said instead of 'At least you can still remember her', which was odd. Never bothered him before...

"I'm going to ask questions of you from my former history which you have." Tyro nodded. She had the right to check.
"What's my Mum's name?" As his former life drew a blank, his new one raised its hand enthusiastically.
A warm embrace was treasured, like an heirloom, in a small, soft place in his memory. The day he moved out into the rest of the world at 18, both sets of eyes swimming in tears. A sort of memorial in his head.
"Allen Faye."

"How old was I when she died?"
Just a moment of paradox. His memory skipped over it in the most lingering way possible of her death bed.
"19."

"What was the first book I ever read?"
A blizzard of vintage dust that spiralled around him as he reached up to the bookshelf. He sat on an old carpet, more fluff than fibre, peeling the pages apart on one of the stories. In bold Serif, the words "The Wolf and the Fox" struck him as interesting.
"The Grimm's book of Fairy Tales. I only read one of them before running off." He said.

He couldn't help feeling that he was watching the life that was stolen from him when he was originally 15. In the space of a week, we was made into what Lilly had been morphed into. He had a normal life in his hands once again. Plenty of people wanted just a, heh, 'normal' life in his former position. Why wasn't he just running off now?
Because you'd rather be doing something that meant something. At least to someone.

"We probably shouldn't be hanging around here. Kyrios'll have someone after us before you know it." He stood up, waiting for his new companion to follow before running along the blank city street. "We need somewhere to hide."

Her heart dropped with every anwser that he got right. So it is true that they have traded timelines, and somehow she knows this is wrong. When it looks like he lost someone. Everything is too loud and she can smell nearly every sence.

"Lets go to your place few towns away. I know the way, and there we can plan something." Lilly said while getting up from the log, and gently walk away from that town that she change her life. She look at her hands and her nails look more like claws as she walks.

The dark green eyed girl sighs lightly, as get lost in the memories of this new life. She feels older then what her body shows. "Damn, I feel old." she said with a whisper on the wind. She can see memories of fights, lovers, and Kyrios.

James finished tabbing in the commands for the machines to start cooling down before looking up at the professor.

He taps his finger agaist his chin as he does the math "One every two hours, if I could make a copy of two of the machines I could pick that up a bit..." His finger moved down to the machine and taps a few buttons, this causes a list of recent personalities to come up.

"The only problem is finding the right mix so that they are smart enough to deal with the unexpected, but dumb enough to continue serving us."

Kyrios' next question had his finger tapping his chin again "Well, I would think they would be. But theory and practice are two different things. I would need to experiment."
He goes to turn and walk off when another thing he had in mind come back to him, he spins towards the black haired professor and begins to talk in a curious tone.

"I've got one more thing I would like to try out, but it could be risky..." His voice trailed off for a second as his mind went through those risks "If we could clone ourselves by using another person and the machines. Well the body would be easy, the mind would not be to hard ether, and we would be able to make them know that they were not truly us. Make it so a they could accept this fact and not try and take over our life. But they would still be empty shells, no real knowledge just a personality that could change in an instant because of no past to back it up." Now his grin grew dangerous "Maybe we could modify the machine, so that we could 'copy and paste' our history into them."
His eyes had a strange light in them, surely even Kyrios would be taken aback by what he planned to do. If it worked, well things would be truly great.

"Where?" Tyro said, actually revealed that she agreed. Yes, trying to work out the their new situations should be a priority but avoiding certain death should be a bigger one. Being dead wasn't something he was looking forward too. He's been able to avoid that up till now... "I know the route too." Hmmm....she lives near to Velice. Interesting...He begins to walk with her, another sigh by his side.
"Damn, I feel old." She said. Tyro could genuinely sympethise with that.
"A hundred and thirty-odd years is a long time. Let's there's the kids, I suppose." He gives a brief look behind him, a couple of purple armoured guards march past them without a care. They were arguing about something...Presumably sport.

Kyrios thinks over everything. His brain takes everything and dumps most of it in the bin.
"No to the extra machine until your little experiments actually manage to do something interesting. Make anything of actual use and you can even see what you can do with Lombard. As for subjects, take who you like off the street." Oddly enough, Kyrios reacted to the final idea with all the enthusiasm of the others.
"If you seriously want to make more of your best friend ever then be my guest but I'd rather stay out of it." A knowing smirk appeared. "I don't want to get caught up in the whole clone business from experience. Not entirely personal though."

She only sigh lightly at his remark, and she watch the guard pass them arguing about which sport is better American football, or football. An memory comes up from her new timeline that she and Kyrios was once an item. She made a face that looks like she smell something bad.

Lilly starts to rub her temples with her fingers. The dark haired beauty really hates this new memories that is not her own. "Stupid." she said lightly to herself. She hope that Tyro ask her anything about the look on her face. She knows that it will take an hour or more by walking, but she hopes that the car is near by.

She don't want to walk all the way there. She really needs her music now to block out the memories that is floating up from the deep sea of her mind.

"I really didn't want extra machines right now. I would of only used them once I was starting a production chain." James stated calmly, his mind was never so calm and so while his voice was slow and easy his mind was still racing, going through possibilities, what was the right personality for a mindless slave with enough of a mind to know how to police the streets?
Only time and tests will tell.

He ran his fingers through his hair, before looking behind him "Well about that, I might of already done this."
His moment of nervousness was suddenly gone as he clicked his fingers and called out "J1 come here."

A perfectly matched figure of James walked out of a door on the side of the room and come to stand next to James, the clone gave a small salute to Kyrios "Hello Professor, I'm James C Altor."
Of course the C stood for Clone.

(Excuse me. I hope you don;t mind but you can make another of course.)

Kyrios looked into the grinning flesh android that addressed itself as Altor with a new middle initial.
A new pang of anger erupted under the faultless hide that was Kyrios' expression of usual contempt.

Tyro could have sworn she'd said something as they walked quickly through the under streets. Night was on the cusp of falling and barely anyone was moving at this time. Walkways above them were as white ribbons between the buildings, everyone exactly the same in outward appearance. The business sector wasn't a particularly artful place. The streets were clean, the occasional chatter of noise. A red shape emerged in the near distance as they continued to rush. Tyro was already fishing out the keys.

The armoured hand of Kyrios stroked against the clone's immobile face. A test. No reaction at all. He might as well have been a clockwork toy hammering out the hour on a tiny bell. There was a soul there, a mutilated one where the free will decided that taking orders was all there will ever need to be.

Then he grabbed it by the throat.

"Ah, I am glad to see this thing suddenly." He said, clicking the little button. The traditional double-beep and flashes of the lights.
"Hey!" Someone was behind them. Tyro stopped for only a moment. He shot to the door and practically yanked the door open the moment he saw that purple armour. Two men were approaching.
"'Ey! Lilly, isn't i'?" One said. "My brother's nose hasn't been straight for years after you."
"Why are you chattin' her up?" The other said, pulling his weapon from a holster on his back. "Just shoot 'em!"
"Err...how?"
"You pull back this thing an' fire!"
"What?"
"What? Your world never got out of bows an' arrows?"
"Shut up yeh-" He was cut off by the car's engines firing and starting to pick up speed along the under-street.
"Shit!" The man said then fired after the vehicle.

The clone's eyes widened as its veins and arteries seemed to swell, as its heart lost its strength and its muscles were robbed. It could not struggle, it wasn't ordered to and its strength was being stolen. Its eyes glazed over quickly as limbs flopped. Life, in its vague approximation, left it. The whole thing flopped to the floor with all the weight and noise of wet washing. Two steps towards James, Kyrios scoops James' scruff and pulls him towards his face.
"You do not make a single copy of yourself or me from this moment onwards without my consent or I treat you in much the same way as your little project. What I did to it I'll let you find out in post-mortem." He released James. He swept out of the lab.

The car had climbed into the sky moving through the business buildings. Tyro felt paradoxical at the seat of this thing: like he was both terrified of every button or lever leading to a crash and perfectly happy with all this. The vehicle flew through the buildings.
"Never done this before." He said.
Yes you have. His mind retorted.
"You OK, Lilly?"
