The War of the Three

@Inner Demon Didn't get as far as I thought I would on my plans, but eh, it's at least something.

The War of the Three

Miyu, Traitor Angel Honorless Blade

Miyu was needless to say surprised at how the giant metal dog had tackled her. She had been aware it was here. But honestly, everything it seemed to do surprised her.

Including how it had somehow managed to not hurt her, despite being a giant metal dog that had just tackled and grappled her. That mystified her completely. She had been spun about, impacted, and her gun had been eaten, and yet somehow, here she was, held up under the dog, flat on her back without being hurt.

And she could see again. And didn't have her glasses on. So many questions, and so many of them simply went: What?

The demonic/machina? beast had made her eyes work normally somehow. And for some reason, she felt angry about that? Why? Why would she be attached to her own frailties?

What?

Kinda reminded her of those cultures that worshiped death, as though dying forever and the ephemerality of being was something beautiful rather than a flaw. Was she like that?

What?

Maybe, because she connected so much of what she was as a person with what needing glasses had taught her, she was attached to them? But wasn't that in direct contradiction of what she believed in, technological ultitarianism?

What?

On the other hand, healing magic had never fixed her eyes before, so obviously there wasn't a damage to be repaired. Whatever the beast had done to her had probably CHANGED who she was, physically, at least? Granted, mentally and spiritually weren't out of the question either, could she trust her own thoughts anymore after being tampered with? Could this all be a lotus eater dream thing? She had heard the Machina had those as interrogation tactics.

What?

She had never been one to augment herself directly with technology, never crossing the line between a tool to use and a change to her body. But she was so physically weak, so why hadn't she? Was it because she was afraid of it? Had this beast crossed that line for her without letting her have a choice in the matter? THAT she could certainly take offense too without feeling guilty about.

What?

And how had the thing done what it had done without hurting her? Was this a dream? Then why would it need to act to stop her? Would the machina put a "anti-harm" aura on their creations? Why would you even?

What?

And why was it just standing there? What was this thing designed to achieve?

What?

Miyu.exe has stopped working.

As far as BEAST could see, his new host had simply stopped moving, lying on the floor. Heart rate and blood pressure a bit elevated, but within normal levels. It wasn't going DOWN persay, as someone who has been startled and surprised should eventually start doing, given time to recover. So, it wasn't exactly healthy in the long term, but nothing about Miyu's lifestyle of excessive drinking, under-eating, irregular sleep schedules, dangerous working conditions, habitual suicide, self-inflicted harm, and poking dangerous things and bringing them home with her were healthy in the long term, but Marianne had kept bringing her back in one piece anyway.

@Ryonara Certainly, but she's not self-aware enough to know that. :P

The War of the Three

@Inner Demon Also, I found this command "Go home and find an owner as defective as you or something to fight your dumb war with." as well as a few instances of things along the lines of "leave me alone." None of those commands were followed. Hence why Miyu assumes the one time he did listen to her was just because he was surprised she was kicking him.

The War of the Three

@Ryonara That is a problem this setting has a bazillion ways to solve.

Artoria: Hi!
Hoho: Hell, I'm even in the bar right now.
Eos: I could, but why?

The War of the Three

@Banana@Ryonara Would you two like to have some chance to talk before barfightage breaks out?

The War of the Three

@Inner Demon She's a ghost angel spirit thing, if I remember correctly.

The War of the Three

@Inner Demon@Ryonara Miyu is indeed not in the Angelic capital, but neither is she in the Machina capital. You could pop in, but it'd be a bit odd to explain why you suddenly felt like visiting a minor area the Angels had taken from the Machina a few years back. I'll try and find a way for Miyu to send the meteor back to the sky. She was planning on going to space anyway, and I guess the meteor will take the first test ride.

The War of the Three

Eh, I wouldn't count on Hoho starting the fight. Alexi's got ya covered though. I'll start a bar fight in approximately 4 hours, give or take 30 minutes on how long it takes me to write Miyu's post since I should really prioritize that with how patiently Demon's been waiting.

The War of the Three

@Lucius Cypher Endian-01 looks like she needs a good brawl.
