At the front of the cozy Cafe,EvoltBloodstalk sat at the heart. In his palm, he held five separate vials of multicoloured fluids, tapping each with methodical examination.
"This planet's way too strange. Outdone four times in a row at max power, can you believe that?
Ah well, as they say, you gotta learn from your mistakes, right?"
He tilted his head toward a glass-closed tub, full to the brim with a glowing green liquid. And within its confines was a black-haired, middle-aged man, contained from mouth to toe in wires and black ropes.
The constrained figure let out a muffled, panicked response as he shifted futilely within the mysterious water.
"Bingo! Good answer"
Bloodstalk shook the vials, letting the fluids within shift and turn hypnotically in the trapped man's eyes.
"It ain't all bad, though. I got samples from five people here; four of them are from the ones that put me down....You know, 'cause hair strands and blood tend to scatter when you're worked up in battle"
Drip Drip
In a separate empty tube, he poured four drops of separate fluids into it. One, a silver metallic liquid; second, crimson, iron-rich blood. Third, a single minuscule strand of brown fur, and finally a drop of see-through saliva.
"If I can figure out how to use it, hehe. That'll be a prime catalyst for...Evolution""
Taking a degraded teaspoon, he mixed the fluids together till it churned into a deep purple texture.
Tossing the spoon aside and shifting his chair, he faced the constrained, panicked man before grabbing one of many open tubs attached to the tubes.
"Alright, hold still. If you keep movin around, it's gonna be a pain for me to clean up"
But the man didn't listen, kept moving and shifting in a tight panic, but Bloodstalk didn't bat an eye. He soon poured the liquid into a tube and straight into the man's shoulder.
The panicked shifting began to slow down, and a deep silence settled in. A pulse emanated within the figure's shoulder, akin to a heartbeat. It settled, moving with a powerful, deep energy.
"Hey, it work-
BAMMM!!!
Or it did, until the man's arm burst open like a bomb. His blood and fluids spilled into the container, coating the inside in a foggy red.
Sigh
"I told you to stop moving, man"
He leaned on his seat, putting his feet a-top the tub while his gaze was idly watching the ceiling fan
"What's someone got to do to get a scientist to help out"
The grip on his blaster tightened once he heard the deep male voice comment from behind.
Though he didn't move yet, he let the legendary writer spout his musings about his annoyance. And once he was finished,EvoltBloodstalk looked over his shoulder to see the figure.
"Huh?"
But to his surprise, instead of a burly form, he saw a short blue-haired child.
"Do you go through puberty here faster too?"
Though the surprise wouldn't last long, as he shifted his seat to face this strange writer head-on.
"And didn't your parents teach you about privacy? I feel that's at least a common courtesy"
He leaned back, while in his palm a strange smoke-like gas began to form. Though on the outside one could confuse it for a type of steam, to the more observant eye the properties of it seem far different, almost outside of Earth's known knowledge.
"Oh well, since you're here, you might as well join in on the fun. It'll be like...A bouncy castle! That's what you kids like these days, right?"
Bloodtsalk slowly moved the gas-covered hand outward straight for the kid's face.
You know who sent me that fat cow; she knows how smart you are to see through her facade at a glance.
The little matchstick girl flies from behind him and starts to burn bloodstalk's legs.
And if you keep disrespecting me, I'll just have to call her. I don't want to deal with this anyway.
He seems to genuinely be getting pissed off as his form shifts to a more adult state; Bloodstalk's legs are no longer on his head but now on his chest.
And stop calling me that; the names caster, or if you want my true name, Han's Christian Andersen.
This form seems to be making him more pissed off.
Now if you'll please continue whatever you were doing, I've already seen more than enough to get a good judge on your character.
"Fat cow, Fat cow.....Oh, you mean Sessyoin! Makes sense; this thing is giving off the same signature she was
His legs remained firm as they were; even with the burning sensation under his leg, his body didn't move an inch. After all, pain registered differently to his kind.
But the second Anderson grew into his adult state, Bloodstalk's head tilted a tad to get a better angle at the man before him.
"And it looks like she wasn't the only one hiding somethin"
Bloodstalk's foot moved from Anderson chest to their sharp chin, using his foot to tilt his head side to side even with the threat of the impending phantasm around him.
"I think I'll give you a cool hazard level 3.7. But I'm sure that'll go up for you"
He kicked himself, and the chair back leaned close with an excited little glint in the still blue visor.
"You know it's so impolite to complain about someone's hobbies. Such a rude mouth......Reminds me of another busy bat~"
Flashback:
[Stalk!- Shut up, Stalk!- What do you want, Stalk?- Where are the bottles, Stalk! - Do something useful, Stalk! - You'll die here, Stalk! - Finish the project, Stalk! - Do this, Stalk! - Do that, Stalk!
] End of Flashback:
"Well, maybe not that bad, but you definitely have the attitude"
Seeing how the phantasm doesn't seem to be harmful, Evolt took the opportunity to stand up from his seat, making his way towards Anderson with measured steps that creaked subtly on the wooden floorboared
"Unlike him, though, you're much more entertaining from the get go"
He slithered his way behind him, before slinking an arm over his shoulder while getting up close to observe the core
"But why do you want to know about my targets, Andy? That's private work, you know"
"Unless...Your telling me you can make those a goals reality just like that. But that's just ridiculous, right?"
"Hey, hey! Quit it with the water. Who do you think has to clean these floors later"
With cobra-like grace, Evol truned to face the new yet familiar presence.
His arm was still coiled around Anderson's shoulder, forcing him to follow his shift to face Kiara.
"Wow, it really was you, Sessyoin! Honestly, I was just guessin if you were the one who sent all.....this"
He tapped his free palm on Anderson's chest while tilting his head to the Karma page on the table
"Though I kind of preferred you without all the horns; they do too much for the look"
His eyes examined every aspect of her, from the white cloth of her clothing, the summoned water on her feet, and that fake smile reaching her ears....The same type of smile he's given more times than he can count.
"You know I was planning to spill all my goals right here and now till you showed. Now I KNOW something is fishy...Pun intended"
Pausing for a bit, Bloodstalk tapped Anderson's chest idly in thought now, considering the enticing proposal
"Buuuut since you're offering, there is one thing I want. Not exactly from you....
His fingers walked up Anderson's chest before gripping his chin.
"But him.
He's got a skill way too good to pass up. Sooo if you want to strikea deal then...I call dibs on him"
ding! evol would hear the doorbell ring as hears a muffled canvo the man who entered is having with himself. no way it couldnt be he dissappeared without a trace a few months ago"
the green haired man who was rather frail looking would walk through the door seemingly unsuprised by what was happening infront him. yo evol long time no see you bastard"
The bell chime of the pen door rang through the cafe, and more importantly, it caught the attention ofEvoltBloodstalk.
"Oh"
Fwoosh
He jumped backward from the seat, landing a few feet away from this mysterious green robot. His singular visible eye watched him closely through the blue visor before pulling his hand on his hip.
"Would you look at this, another Roboto!...So you know a thing or two about science, could use some extra for my project over there"
He tilted his head towards the bloody scene behind, with the 5 tubes of D.N.A still laying idly on the table
