Zmerr

Of the Last of Us

The golem came back, dragging the man from earlier behind it. It held him by the arms to ensure that he wouldn't break free.

"I said 'bring him,' not 'drag him.'" Zmerr released a chuckle that carried both sarcasm and surprise.

"He was unwilling." the golem said.

"Stand down. He's no threat." Zmerr told the golem. It obeyed, lights turning blue again. He turned to the man. "I think we're even. A dead deer for trespassing. What do you say?"

Of the Last of Us

"My name's Zmerr. My people don't typically have last names." Zmerr observed the horns on Ren's head and the now downed tree. "That's quite the ability you have there. I just build stuff and blow other stuff." Zmerr lead her into the main "foyer." He motioned for her to take a seat on a makeshift chair. He sat in another one. He beckoned the golem back to him. "Fetch us some tea, please. Iced for me."

"Yes." the response was emotionless. "Please confirm the number of visitors."

"One."

"What is to be done with the other person?" it asked in a monotone voice.

"Other person? Me? I asked for iced tea." Zmerr gave the golem a questioning look.

"There are three people here." the golem stated.

"Where is the third? I only count two. Unless you are including yourself."

"I am not a person. I am a creation. There is a third person by the entrance." the golem pointed towards the front entrance.

"Well, bring them to me."

"Yes." the golem sounded the siren again and moved quickly and smoothly toward the front entrance.

Of the Last of Us

Suddenly, there was a loud siren. Zmerr whipped out his plasma pistol and turned around. He couldn't see anyone but the golem that had sounded the alarm. It came at the girl with various weapons drawn. Zmerr put the pistol down. "Stand down." He commanded the golem. "She's Allowed." The golem processed this command for a moment, analyzing the new person and saving her data in its memory. It went from flashing red lights to a solid cool blue light.

"Confirmed." it said in a metallic tone when it finished processing.

"Good. Now leave us." Zmerr shooed it away.

"Yes." it obediently hobbled off. Zmerr gave the girl an apologetic grin.

"Sorry about that. It wasn't programmed for guests."

"Pretty much, business as usual. Cleaning and cooking from time to time." He sipped his tea. He usually liked his tea, but this seemed better than usual. He wondered what she did different. "The load does seem to be getting bigger though. A lot more students are coming in. But it's fair. I'm not paying rent so it's okay. Besides, I'd be pretty bored if I didn't have a full schedule. Sometimes my boredom can be dangerous." He chuckled a little, remembering all the times his failed experiments had exploded. "I tend to get creative to make up for the lack of activity and sometimes I mess something up." He put his half-empty cup on the table and turned it in his hand. He looked at it for a moment before looking at Pyria again. "I see that you too are experiencing the effects of such a large influx of newbies."

The Crescent Academy

When he's not working a dirty job, a cloth shirt with a light leather jacket that almost reaches the floor (which really isn't far since he's like 3 feet tall). Leather pants and boots.

The Crescent Academy

"I have no claws. But I do have boots." He chuckled a little, removing them and leaving them by the door. He came to sit at the round table. He placed a few bags of tea on the table. "Fresh and hand picked." He smiled again.

Of the Last of Us

"Welcome to my humble abode." Zmerr said as he said, as they came upon a large bush. Zmerr pushed some vines away from the trunk a tree and revealed a button. He pushed the button and the bush phased out. It wasn't really a bush, it was a hologram used to disguise a huge ruined building. It had been modified quite a bit to make it livable. There were pieces of the building were replaced with modern-looking pieces of metal and it was lit up. Zmerr had built his own power source for the place. Really, there was a whole city here hidden by holographic foliage, but each one had its own hologram generators. Plus, he didn't want to expose the whole city in case he needed a place to run.

The Crescent Academy

Zmerr made his way home quickly to ensure that Pyria did not wait long. Once inside, he put on clean clothes (as he wore the tattered clothes for working in the stable) and grabbed a few bags of green tea. He preferred the black tea himself, but it was easier to just grab a handful of the same kind.

Zmerr knew exactly where Pyria's building was. He new where EVERYTHING was on campus. He just had to find the right door. He had written the number she'd given him on his hand and he now held that hand up to compare the number with the ones above the doors. Finally, he came across Pyria's door. He knocked softly, but confidently on the heavy, dark wood.
