[Embri]

Embri nodded at Angel, fully understanding her desire to be clean. She licked a few spots of her fur where the blue gel had stuck when her heartsister had leaned against her. It tasted funny... sort of salty and sour at the same time. The mare snorted. One more strange thing in a strange world...

~Is there a bathroom? Ashke should wash up now...~ Embri turned, unsure of her location. Responding to her unconscious query her artificial neural net loaded a map of the base directly into her memory.

"Mwwwrrruhheee!" Surprised, Embri shook her head and rolled her eyes. This would take some getting used to. Nudging Angel with her nose, she headed for the living quarters.

[Sephirothsicase]

CRAP CAITIR!!

Caitir: Sorry! Sorry!

*Caitir had almost fused Szri's helmet to his head again. For the fifth time in a row...*

Just.. Give it here....

*He yanks the electro-tool out of her hand and slowly patches his helmet together, his leg and torso was still marred with the blue "Blood" but it wasnt bleeding anymore. Besides, he had to go see how Embri was doing.*

Caitir: And where do you think you are going mister?
Szri: Somewhere.
Caitir: Somewhere my butt! You are staying there! Your neural link is in shambles, you cant connect to the main-frame!
Szri: Oh well, bye.

*Szri unclasps the bonds holding him to the chair, and walks off down the hallway. Metal feet making "Glonk" sounds whenever he puts them down. He headed towards the heat-signature that was Embri.*

[Angel]

Hey! Don't push.. *she goes obediently, not that she would have a choice if Embri wanted it enough and the fact that she is two tonnes of augmented muscle has nothing to do with it.

Angels living quarters have a very un-lived-in look to them, unsurprisingly since time away from her Core was almost crippling before. its a small, dark room with an unshaded bulb for lighting and a console glowing blue in a corner. its no different from the hundreds of other rooms in the compound, rank doesn't give special privileges in Angels book.*

I might even be able to get some straw... beds are still not my favourite way of sleeping, even after all this time.

*she phases out for a moment, going glassy-eyed, then shakes her head.* it's going to be hell to get all this out of my feathers, it always does *she clicks her tongue in annoyance and pulls open the shower cubicle*

[Sephirothsicase]

*Szri tapped the open command on Angel's door, just as she was about to go into the shower. Szri would have gone immediatly red if not for his helmet on. He quickly shut the door and sat in a chair. Trying to get the image out of his head he began scanning through his data of the battle.*

[Embri]

The mare snorted softly, throwing her head up as the door opened. She levelled her horn towards the intruder, who wisely decided to back off.

~Hurrr!~ Stamping a hoof, she positioned herself between her friend and the battered metal door. ~Angel? Who was that?~

[Angel]

*she blushes and pulls the curtain closed behind her, glaring at the door. she turns the shower on, yelping slightly because its cold, then answers her question, rising her voice over the noise of falling water*

That was Seph, time has changed us all, him not least. he goes by the name Szri now though. it might be better if he explains himself though.

*she brings up a heads up of him in her eyepiece and opens an audio link* ~Szri? you can come in now and meet Embri properly. I don't know how much she remembers but she didn't recognise yo so visor up please!~

*giving him orders, even if her treats them like requests still feel odd to her, it had been the other way around for a long time*

[Sephirothsicase]

*Szri was playing with a rubix cube. He had beaten his time and completed it in 1.47 minutes. The message came through and he shook his head.*

~Yes Mistress. Right away.~

*He punched in the open code for the door again and walked in, completely ignoring the horse who looked as if it were fit to gore him.*

Problems Embri?

*He took the rubix cube and began spinning it around with his eyes closed. After he had mixed it up, he began spinning the faces around again rapidly. Trying to beat his best time again.*

[Embri]

~You... know me?~ Embri brought her horn up. It wasn't polite to be pointing weapons at potential friends. The mare leaned on her connection with Angel, drawing out fragments of recent memory and feeling.

~Angel knows you... and if she thinks you're a friend, that's good enough for me. .... Szzreee?~

Humid air wafted out from the shower cubicle. Sniffing, Embri poked her nose behind the curtain, sucking up water greedily. Water dripping from her soft velvet nose, she nuzzles her heartsister's shoulder and turns back towards the strange person outside the shower.

~I don't remember you.~ Embri said simply, with a hint of apology as water droplets dripped off her nose.

[Sephirothsicase]

*Szri hadnt beaten his time. He growled slightly before placing it down on a table. He clicked some of the buttons on his helmet before it hissed slightly. He pulled it off and long silvery hair fell down to the bottom of the seat, he shook his head slightly and some kinks straightened out above his forehead and hooked over his eyes.

He stood up and cracked his neck once before putting the helmet down on the seat. He reached behind his back and pressed a hexagon on his neck. The black sneaking suit hummed slightly before all retracting by a network of hexagons folding in on themselves untill they formed a small cube in his palm.

He was wearing a black suit with a crimson shirt. A thin white tie hung over his shirt, but under the suit and looked immaculate.*

Sephiroth, Demon, Devil, Lucifer...

*He smiled, revealing his fangs as he placed a pair of black leather gloves on his hand, saying all the names he had been known by.*

...Heretic, Evil, Black heart, Shadow walker, Alucard, Cradle theif, Blood drinker and a few more that have been forgotten over the time.

*He moved his polished shoes with a slight squeek, and placed his hands behind his back, one in the other. Looking rather smart.*

Do you not remember me now Felmino?

[Angel]

*Angel rubs her cheek against Embri's nose, she hadn't realised it but having the unisus out of sight had been unsettling. She watches the exchange through Embri's eyes and shakes her head ruefully at Szri's long list of names, always the proud man.

She puts an arm up against the wall and rests her forehead on it, letting the water run down her back. It feels so strange against those metal plugs, cable-less, its all so strange! Embri back, no longing for the chair... She realises that the water is running clear at her feet and beats her wings in the confined space before turning off the water with a squeak.

Sticking her arm out of the shower she fumbles for a towel, and at the same time surfaces the memorise that Szri, Embri and herself share.*

[Embri]

Pricking her ears forward at the words "Shadow Walker", Embri tips her head sideways, tongue licking the droplets of water off her muzzle.

Warm amber eyes consider Szri's appearance, trying to match it against the foggy fragments of memory that flit across her mind like errant butterflies.

~Felmino...~ A brief flash of recognition follows her pet name. ~I'm Felmino. Or ... I was.~ The mare reaches for a power that is no longer hers to command, stumbling about in her mind before blinking rapidly with a sigh. Hesitantly, she approaches the handsomely dressed Szri, nostrils flaring as she inhales his scent.

~....~

[Sephirothsicase]

*He wouldnt have much of a scent. Unless it was all the blood he had consumed over his life.*

Yes, it used to be your name. Do you know what it means Felmino?

Felmino means "Fire enlightened intelligence." if my information is correct. And being linked up the network or "Omega-Net." It usually isnt.

*He strokes her nose lightly, He read that sometimes touches can reawake fragments of memory. So he leaned towards and kissed the side of her face.*

Do you remember now?

*He places a black towel in Angels hands, before standing where he was only a few seconds ago.*

[Angel]

*she mumbles her appreciation and wraps it around herself, he wings have already gained that glossy black waterproofing and water shakes of them in beads. she makes sure at least some of it flies onto Seph while contriving it to look an accident.

she sighs quietly, she's going to have to teach Embri her new body... maybe She'll learn it her self but there are bound to be hitches like her memory. Angel tries to stop thinking about it, one thing at a time.

she towels off quickly, hiding behind her wings, and sits on the edge of the bed. her head doesn't seem to be working as well as usual but she is still receiving transmissions from command and she riffles through the files in her virtual interface. with another sigh she settles down to deal with the ones that are urgent and file away the rest for later, if she ever finds time.*

[Embri]

~I... sort of....~ Embri closed her eyes, concentrating on the cool touch of Szri's fingers across her nose.

~It's all foggy, but ... you are familiar to me. I just can't remember exactly from where, or when.~ The mare looks apologetic as she wuffles softly and drops her nose.

The water flicked from Angel's wings cause Embri to cringe, bringing up her own wing to deflect the drops. "Mwwrrreee!" She snorts, ~Careful!~ Though no longer vulnerable to water, she reacts instinctively to the element that was once a threat.
