They Took Mr. Stabems and Now Everything Is Terrible

[brought_it_back]

[Eva-Or, as she's more likely known, the strange girl from security with that weird robot-is feeling down recently, despite stellar and slightly uncanny performance on the mission with the Zhar battalion. Rumors, spreading fast as they do, make it pretty easy to find out-she attempted to murder the walt-child, and was given a three-hour dressing down by Commander Howe in response. A loud dressing down, the kind that can be heard from down the hallway through an office's closed door.

She can generally be found moping about Alhambra, looking about as happy as a sack of potatoes with chronic depression, and spends more of her time in the gym.]

Hello Eva.

[Ren waves casually as they approach.]

You seem really down today. Did something happen?

[brought_it_back]

Um...yes...

[Fidget fidget fidget.]

[jianai]

Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Was it something serious? You can tell me - maybe I can help.

[brought_it_back]

Um...Commander Howe disagreed with some of my actions, so...I'm not allowed to carry weapons for now...

It feels...weird.

[jianai]

You aren't allowed to carry weapons? Is it because you tried to use them on someone?

[brought_it_back]

...Yes.

[During one of the visits to the gym, Kei is there as well, working some of the machines. Seeing the rather weird girl look depressed, she gives her a look.]

Is something wrong?

[brought_it_back]

...A little bit.

[majestic_keiki]

[There was a long pause almost as if Kei was worried about what the answer might be if she asked anything else.]

Something serious?

[brought_it_back]

I messed up, so...Commander Howe yelled at me...and I can't carry weapons now...

[majestic_keiki]

...How did that happen?

[cloningblues]

You don't look happy about what happened.

[brought_it_back]

They took my weapons...

[cloningblues]

They're worried you'll try to shoot something again. Why did you even do that?

[brought_it_back]

...That girl is a threat.

[cloningblues]

It's a girl? I didn't know. I wasn't looking when that... event happened.

The commanders said she's harmless. Why do you think they're wrong?

[kill_all_vagans]

[Flit just happens to catch her at some point when she's going to or from Alhambra's gym... he's too young for that sort of thing right now after all.]

Hey... are you alright?

The therapist's office was down the other way...

[brought_it_back]

[Eva lets the weights she was working with drop, and immediately stands up.]

What do you want.

[kill_all_vagans]

[He flinches at the sound of the weights dropping.]

Sorry, you just... looked like something was really eating at you.

[brought_it_back]

Yes. And...

[She holds her head with her hand, gripping it tightly.]

You are not helping.

[kill_all_vagans]

Not helpi-

[And then it suddenly comes to him. A sharp sense of pressure on his mind. He's had feelings like this before, but never something so acute.]

A-aaaah!

[Flit stumbles, falling back. No... this was nothing like when he first piloted the AGE-1!]

Trying to set a new record for unusual incidents Eva? I heard a bit about how you went after the girl that came from Walt, also about how you did not use the knife or fight the guards seriously. Odd you were dressed down so fully for that but I guess unauthorized firearm discharges in a military base will set off the brass.

Now perhaps you'd like to explain a little more as to why you did that? You've been odd, but never violent like that before.

[brought_it_back]

The guards are our friends. I see no reason to harm them.

[ugyuuya]

I was more directing to the girl not the guards. I'm glad you didn't fight them since you probably would have hurt or killed them if you did but going after a girl who's just sat there and mirrored people seems odd.

[brought_it_back]

We live in an odd world, full of mysteries.
