Eyelids flutter open to reveal green eyes with slit pupils. The woman with black hair looks around curiously as she tries to recuperate. A low serpentine like hiss comes from her, "[color=92278f]What...? By Moradin'ssss Beard, What isssss thissss placcce?[/color]" She quickly takes stock of her memories, her surroundings, and the others nearby. Many questions arose at the fact that she is dead and is currently a spirit. She noticed the sense of kinship between the other three spirits, and the girl sleeping on the altar. "[color=92278f]How sssstrange. I may need to take notessss on thisss later...[/color]" Her head snaps warily towards the sense of profane danger that approaches. She wanted to speak with the others and get to know them more, but she knows that they need to get the girl in front of them ready for a fight. While she may not fear death anymore, she still is aware that they shouldn't waste any time if they want to be able to make it through the fight. Preparation ahead of time can do wonders for the girl's survival after all. She looks to the group and quickly introduces herself, "[color=92278f]I fear we might not have much time, sssso, I'll quickly introduccce myssssself. My name issss Alssssei Cogsssspeaker. It issss niccce to meet you. Now then...[/color]" After introducing herself, she looks around quickly and speaks to herself, "[color=92278f]Now....where isss PAL? He sssshhhould be...Ah! There you are![/color]" Her eyes land on the steel defender that lied nearby covered in sand. She noted the sand and figured that a lot of time had passed. PAL clearly needs maintenance, but at a glance, it seems like PAL should still be functional. She clears her throat and with her attention directed to the steel defender, she speaks with authority, "[color=92278f][b]Voiccce Authentication: Eight Two Ssssixxx Five. Risssse and Sssshhhine PAL. It isss time for a new day, and time to fulfill your duty as Guardian![/b][/color]" [hr] ((This part is just in case the voice authentication works. If this doesn't work, I'll delete this section)) After Alsei gave the voice authentication, the steel defender's eyes shine with a blue light. The steel defender moves to stand up and turns to face Yin, unmoving and waiting for commands or any sign of threats. It stands vigilantly as it speaks, "[color=7ea7d8][I]Voice Authentication confirmed. Ally registered. Awaiting commands,[/i][/color]
