The decorations, the customs, the massive amount of people, the music...absolutely everything! The bride was stunning! In these moments, things felt right (for now). Occasionally, the White Dove grimaced at the thought of Ludelle using a tone as if she were a child but her attention was immediately brought back to the lovely couple. ([color=tomato][i]Oh Mr. Shard! You got a keeper![/i][/color]) The woman never considered being in a romantic relationship, it didn't help that her looks brought in the worst kind of suitors. This isn't saying she hasn't tried 'things' but when it comes to men or women she has a night time of fun with, Rini can be particularly selective and luckily for her, her night experiences weren't all that bad. Granted, the first time was a scarring memory... she felt terrible for the guy who had to deal with her blood. Nope, nope. That didn't end well. An admiration was building up for the Master of Stars. He truly was a great man and to see the gleam in his eyes made Little Red smile. One day, perhaps, the woman would find her significant other but it wasn't necessary. Her heart was set on mending the broken relationship her half sister had with their late mother. Settle all misunderstandings and befriend her... befriend her sister. ([color=tomato][i]I wonder where she is...[/i][/color]) Staring at the large selection of food on a unreasonably lengthy table, Rini contemplated her options. ([color=tomato][i]What would Mr. Calder like...[/i][/color]) She examined each option like it was some sort of foreign specimen. Picking up a fanciful bread, she brought it to her nose and sniffed it, long and good. After that, not really caring who was around her, the snow haired woman decided against eating it and put it back down on the table. There were too many options! Prior to getting food for her and Calder, Rini had passed the wedding gift table and felt ashamed she didn't have anything to give. To fix this problem, her tiny hand slipped in some random dude's pocket and pulled out his wallet. He had a decent amount of money on his person so she took it all! Once she was done stealing probably some random stranger's alcohol money, Little Red safely returned his wallet without getting noticed and strolled to the food table. Stealing was for survival! The fact that she did it with complete ease revealed that this wasn't the first time she indulged in her sin. Sometimes, Rini got into sticky situations but not today! The guy seemed mentally detached and pretty well off so, she'd like to think he'd be fine. It was for the greater good! While (and still) at the food table, she used some of her time to fold a cloth napkin in a [url=http://bumblebeelinens.com/images//heart/fullsize/Heart.jpg]heart formation[/url] and hid the abundance of money in it. She would need some kind of writing utensil to put 'From Rini' on it. Holding the heart in one hand, Rini brought her attention back to the food. With a sigh, the White Dove decided to throw a bunch of random shit on a large platter with appetizers already on it. ([color=tomato][i]This will do.[/i][/color]) And like a waitress, she picked the platter up with one hand and made her way through the crowd back to the last place she remembered her friend being. Many people had to make way for her or an accident was bound to happen. Before getting to her destination [sub][@Jangel13][/sub], Rini passed an ebony hair man, entertaining a bunch of children. Stopping in her tracks, Little Red watched as he grabbed an apple and cut it in two with little to no effort. A blush fell on his face and the woman couldn't help but giggle at the sight. ([color=tomato][i]I wonder if Mr. Shard and Mrs. Shard plan to have children...[/i][/color]) Within time, the children were pulled away by their parents. "[color=tomato]Hey Mister. That's some nice tricks you got up your sleeves! I was amused![/color]" Her candy apple stare waited for him to make eye contact with her before she contined, "[color=tomato]If you don't want to be bombarded by children, you should go mingle with some of the guests! Oh, and to answer your thoughts, no. I am not a child. I stopped growing a long time ago. Come! Join me and my new best friend for life! He's a cool troll. I'm Rini, by the way. The new face of the Tower! Like literally... I just came two days ago. WELL EITHER WAY. I can't make Mr. Calder wait forever, so you can adventure into the mass of strangers or sit by your lonesome self, your choice.[/color]" [sub][@Tracyarmav][/sub] Approaching the troll, Rini placed the platter on a nearby table and then looked up at him with a grin, "[color=tomato]Can I use your blood? I'd use mine but then all my hardwork would be ruined![/color]" Both her hands were holding onto the napkin origami she had made, waiting for her friend's response. Blood was a good writing implement, Rini would use it all the time if she could! [hr][hr][center][h2]A Time for Celebration[/h2] [center][i]lovely complex[/i][/center] Lethal, Gibraltar [@BeastofDestiny], Et. al. Day 3, Evening[/center][hr][hr] [sub][@Themerlinhawk][@Grin][/sub]A private project Lethal had worked on for the bride and groom was a more advanced version of ROB. Something to capture their sentimental moments and possible family memories if Shard and Raven were considering expanding their bloodline. This AI could also dual role as a baby monitor with a smaller metal ball called [url=http://i.imgur.com/3dmli4k.jpg]Kody[/url] that is an extension of it's mother AI and must be activated when ready for use (It's main function is to follow the child wherever he or she may go and become the child's companion sending any information it analyzes to the main bot. It even has a hover mode). Lethal has had plenty of years to study ROB and his functions, so perfecting his system (with an entirely new creation all together) was not challenging at all but it did take quite a bit of her time. She instilled a child friendly mode in the small bot and a parenting and advisory mode in the mother bot. The demon blooded woman was proud to have a successful Advanced Observer Android, having put the metallic inventions through many tests (which include tests of destruction). She called her creation [url=http://i.imgur.com/XrMNkWZ.jpg]KodiaKapture CAM[/url] or "Kodia" for short. Of course, these AIs could be used for more than just children scenarios. They were camcorders (and cameras) with a computer brain that had different modes they could switch into depending on what the user wanted them to do. Now, they were in a box waiting to be unwrapped and turned on. Yes, Lethal put an instruction manual in it just in case the happy couple needed it. She had no doubt they had AIs that could record things but at the same time, there's some moments a massive AI wouldn't be able to capture and that's what Lethal wanted to focus on when creating Kodia. Something small that could record the overlooked yet significant bits in their lives. An oddly sentimental gift for someone who preferred not to feel. It was the least she could do for everything Christian has done for her. A gift that showed her respect, since she was unable to tell him outright that she was happy for him. After the 'incident' with Levi and Bunny, Lethal needed to go lurk in the shadows somewhere and not be disturbed. However, she did keep a look out for the emotional green hurricane, knowing where Bunny was at all times. The Cambion didn't mind seeing what the Paladin's emotions were capable of making her do but for the Master and Mistress of Stars, if things got out of hand, the apathetic woman would intervene. Another fine reason why she stood away from everyone else was so she didn't tear their self confidence down and make them regret ever being alive. The woman knew she had a problem but Lethal was too far deep to change the fact that she needed poison in her lungs constantly. [color=AFFEEE]"Lethal,"[/color] As if the gods had sent her companion, who was the original cause of her irritation, to her, Lethal's single red eye observed Gibraltar like a hawk. Before the cyborg gave the box of death that belonged to her back, he too grabbed a cigarette for himself, knowing very well that it would do nothing for him. Nonchalantly accepting her cigarettes, she placed the stick between her lips and stared at him, waiting. Without having to say a word, he leaned in close and lit her poison with the lightning in his fingertips. The relationship the two of them shared was strange to those who didn't know a thing about them. Some people believed they had a romantic affair going on, but that would be an ignorant assumption since 'romance' and 'love' was not something Gibraltar was programmed to experience anymore. After all, he was [u]Lethal's[/u] experiment. Plus, why the fuck would she want a pestering lover to take her away from what she loved the most? As long as she could work with steel and expeditiously grow in her art, Lethal would be satisfied with this godforsaken long life. Letting the smoke slither down her throat and into her lungs, she kept the toxin in her body for a good while before releasing it in a large filthy cloud. There was a long silence between the two companions that have known each other for longer than they could mentally remember. As she watched the green haired woman walk around the party, Lethal lowly asked, "[color=firebrick]Do you miss it? The ability [i]to feel[/i].[/color]"
