Managing to save herself a packet of potato chips from the cafateria at lunch, Yang equiped herself with a her small back pack. Slung over her shoulder, it contained the fourth Harry Potter book, drink bottle, and the all important, incased packet of fried potatoes... Or where they baked? Yang never took the time to consider how they were cooked, just that they were a good filler in those moments you needed to munch on something. With everything prepared, Yang shut the door to her dormitary and made her journey to the waterfalls she'd heard about in the halls.

She was sure that her waterproof sport pants were being worn down now, seeing as she'd worn them out in this weather so many times, and all to read books. Actually, thinking about this made her feel quite like a book worm at the moment. Didn't she have anything better to do with her time? Would she be spending the rest of her time at this school searching for the best spot to read a book? no, ofcourse not. It was certain she'd find one before she'd reach her third year... Not that she'd actually had a chance to read at any of those places.

And before she knew it, she'd made it past the bushes and to the clearing in which the veiw which resided there almost took Yang's breath away. A large majority of her life was spent in the city basically doing nothing. Meaning in her whole life, she'd never seen a water fall before. This was the first time she'd ever laid eyes on one, and honestly, you could say she fell in love with it by looking at the expression on her face.

Placing her bag down on the snowy ground as she sat, the first item she decided to take out was the packet of chips. Resting the considerably large packet in her crossed legs she then proceeded to opening it. Forgetting about reading, Yang stared at how the water roared down the verticle mountain side and trickled down the cracks and crevases finally reaching its destination which was the small body of water which Yang sat right infront of. Placing a slice in her mouth and letting the flavour take over, the occasional water droplet would splash in her direction. She didn't mind it though, because for some strange reason chips never tasted better.

The ice had provided a challenge on the outer sections of the small river. With a small hole to get air before he had departed he had spent most of his time doing distance training. He didn't know where Melissa had goone though. Most likely to the top of the waterfall. After what seemed like a minute, Jack looked back to see that his airhole was too far to swim back to. He then looked up at the ice that covered most of the river. He slightly lowered his right arm then punched the thick ice. It cracked a little. With a second punch it began to break outwards. The third punch broke right through. With that he flipped over so his legs faced the ice. He then grabbed with his right arm and pressed against it until the entire peice of ic in that area gave way under the pressure of his feet. With that he popped above the water to see that he was no where near where he had started. In fact he had managed to swim to the waterfall! He then turned to see Yang sitting next to the water.

"Oh, ooopsy, Hello!" Jack said as he looked around to see if anybody else was around.

Whilst being over-whelmed by the potato chip still being broken down and munched on in her mouth, it took her a full second to fully register what had excactly happened to the area of water which had been frozen. Her first taught was that an underwater volcano might've woken from it's slumber and decided to errupt... but seeing a figure of a something emerge from the water, Yang immediately elliminated that idea.

An underwater mythical beast?! No, what were the chances of that. It had been her instinctive reaction to change from sitting cross legged to getting on her feet and squatting with her free hand supporting her balance on the ground. If there were any problems, she could easily run right on out of here. That was, until she'd heard a familiar voice greet her.

Leaning closer towards the water's edge with both hands on her knees, Yang had only then noticed that her left hand was gripped tightly around the opening of her open packet of chips. Squinting to make out if this was the person she was thinking it was, Yang had failed to notice that she'd leaned even more over the water, "J-Jack?!" She exclaimed as she called out to the student floating in the water. Reconising him, she instantly shot out her hand to offer it to Jack.

It was all too late before she noticed she was beginning to lose her balance on the water's edge. "Iieeee!" Yang exclaimed with her hand which was grasping the packet of chips now high in the air, as if to save them. Her other hand was thoughtlessly still outstretched towards Jack. She had no idea why it was still there, as if it were waiting for a hand shake, but all her thoughts were focused on not getting her precious potato chips ruined.

Jack watched as she got closer then eventually realized what was going to happen. Quickly Jack began moving through the water with his right and only arm outstreched to grab Yangs. Just before she hit the water Jack grabbed Her hand and applied pressure as to keep the bend that was formed by the joint keeping the arm to the torso, bent. Even though he had stopped her, he was now grunting in pain as the weight had shifted towards the water. It would have been easier if He had his left arm or if he had caught her hand a few minutes earlier, but he didn't.

Jack's grunting grew louder as he pushed against her arm so that it would help her rise away from the water. After a few minutes he finally managed to push her above and away the water.

"Wow Yang, s...." He stopped for a second. "...What are you doing out here?" He asked as he began looking for his prosthetic arm he had set down a little further down the river.

This was it. She just knew that she was going to fall into the water. There was definately nothing she could do at this point. She'd lost her balance for far too long and was now going to have to plunge into the cold winter water. With this thought in her mind, Yang tightly shut her eyes as if she couldn't watch what was about to occur next.

But something had grabbed hold of her outstretched hand and began pushing her backwards and towards the snowy ground. Opening her eyes to find out why she wasn't soaking wet with freezing water, she saw that Jack had come to the rescue. though, hearing his grunts of effort and most likely, pain, Yang started to take control of her actions. Yang quickly placed the bag of chips on the ground and instead used that hand to help her balance her body weight backwards. "Sorry!" Yang exclaimed whilst doing so.

Well, His efforts had paid off. Yang was definately not soaking wet with water, and her chips had been 'saved.' "Thanks for that." She said greatfully, her hands clasped together infront of her chest. Yang was about to answer Jack's question, but stopped when she noticed that he was swimming further down the body of water. "Er.. What I'm doing is not important.." Yang started now abandoning her bag and chips to keep up with Jack. "Whats more important is what are you doing?" Yang continued, walking in time with his... er.. paddling?

Jack would have been rubbing his arm to sooth the pain, sadly without his left arm, he wouldn't have anything to rub it with. Upon hearing Yang he looked over for a second.

"Training, helps me get tougher for battles, especially with all that's been flying around lately..." Jack replied. After a few seconds he spotted his clothes piled up near the river. Under the water he was wearing his swim trunks and nothing else. Upon reaching the pile he climbed out of the water and began searching through the clothes. After digging through for a few seconds he uncovered his detatched prosthetic arm. On the end that connected to his torso were four small plugs extending towards positions somewhere on Jack's torso. Another odd thing was that there were four sockets on Jack's torso meant for these. Upon grabbing his arm he placed the plugs into the sockets and pulled a small screwdriver from his toolbelt.

"Every time I go into the water, I need to remove my left arm, it's pretty simple really. When I had my arm put in place, I designed it so that the end of the severed nerves and other important peices were to be partially converted into artificial peices, sadly the whole process required that nanobots move metal atoms in and cause a flesh to metal transformation. With this they formed a connection between the organic peices, ad the artificial peices." jack stopped and began twisting the srews into the plugs. "When they did this, at a point in the connections in the arm, it would literally look like the nerve was part of the wiring that was in the arm. In my remaining flesh the nerves are normal, but between the arm and the flesh, there's a point where the nerve becomes a mix of metal and flesh. this allowed quick and easy removal of the arm, and the same to the opposite as well."

It had been Yang's instinctive reaction for her hands to immediately cover her eyes as Jack arose from the water. It was only until he spoke did Yang move them, and even then, Jack hadn't put on his clothing. Instead Yang watched as he appeared to be screwing his prosthetic arm in place.

It was strange. Jack's mouth seemed to be moving, but Yang had little or no understanding of what he was saying. Even though Jack had already said it, to her, nothing about this seemed simple. Perhaps it was because she had no idea about how prosthetic limbs worked, but it was most likely because Yang was never strong in the field of robotic engineering...

"Um.." Yang started trying to keep a puzzled tone well away from her voice, but she gave up instead and ended with a nervous chuckle. "Er- Jack.. To be honest, I don't understand." Even as she heard herself speak these words, they sounded so rude to her. "I mean er! .. you don't have to explain it to me again." She quickly corrected waving her hands inront of her at chest height. "Its not that I don't care!! .. But, If you start.. Its going to take about 3 days of explaining before I get it... " It was that reason and also, she was more interested in how Jack came to aquiring a prostetic arm. Though, remembering that it was not in her place to ask, Yang remained silent.

But it was only natrual for her to continue the conversation, because of her near-zero tolerance for awkward silences. "But I understood something." She continued with a hopeful smile. "Does that mean, that you only swim with one arm?" She asked him, as she tried not to stare. Not only had he managed to push her weight whilst in the water, but he could swim with one arm? Now all Yang could feel was guilty, for making him have to apply such pressure to one arm.... How could his legs propel him to be able to push her weight? "Erm.. Are you okay?" Yang asked, just to be sure nothing was wrong... Or seriously injured.

"Well, yes, I can only swim with one arm, this arm isn't water resistant, so I have to remove it every time I go swimming." He then looked up at the sky for a moment.

"As for injuries, nothing that I didn't have before this." He said again with a smile. "I've had worse, much worse things happen than that." After a few seconds the arm made four clicking noises signaling Jack to stop screwing. With that done he placed the Screwdriver back into the belt and looked towards the water.

"This arm tells part of the worst of it, I was developing a weapon with both my father and my grandfather. When we had it almost completed, My grandfather dropped a cutting torch which in turn ignited a bit of loose oil tat covered the ground. The burning oil led straight to the generator which was active, and caused an explosion, a lare chunk of metal severed it. Luckily for me, I had designed a replacement arm design for a friend of mine, he said I could keep the prototype since it was mine and it could still be upgraded." Jack's smile never seemed to fade as he spoke. a tragic event in his life and he wasn't upset about remembering it.

"Of course that was part of the worst of it, turns out the whole thing wasn't an accident."

Upon hearing Jack explain that he had to swim with one arm and then look at the sky, Yang too followed his lead and tilted her head back to see the veiw of the after noon sky today. Looking the bright blue sheet spread above them, Yang had no idea what had caught Jack's attention, so instead returned to looking at his neck as he continued to screw his arm in place.

Being consumed by the thoughts of troubling him, Yang was startled once his arm made four clicking noises. Perhaps a strange fish or something had caught his attention once again because he was now staring off into the water. Though Yang soon reliesed that he wasn't actually staring at anything in particular when he started to explain to her about how he came to need this metallic arm.

Yang was surprised that he would tell her an event in his life prior to entering AHS, but nonetheless, she was greatful. Though, once again, she had met someone with an appaulingly tragic past, but Jack didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. Watching him smile as he spoke, Yang was slightly confused. Was he trying to hide his sadness? Or didn't it exist in his mind?

She'd hate to be pushing it, but she wondered about his last statement. "You mean, Your grandpa tried to kill you?!" She exclaimed, her hands clasped together infront of her chest and a concerned expression planted on her face.

Wynn had decided to check out the alleged waterfall that was suppose to be one of the most beautiful places on campus. She was walking though the forest a bit but stuck to the path outlined in the pamphlet that all new students recived at orientation. As of now this pamphlet was her best friend as it contained a map of the school. It was the only way she knew to get around. Wynn continued down the beaten path checking the map often to make sure she didn't fall off the trail.

Soon Wynn new she was going in the right direction as she heard the sound of running water in the distance. She followed the sound in conjunction with the map to pinpoint the quickest destination to the waterfall. But perhaps she arrived to quickly as she was drawing near she heard to people conversing. She heard a few phrases here and there but nothing in particular untill she was close enough to actually and effectively listen to one part of the conversation spoken by the female amoungst the duo.

"You mean you Grandpa tried to kill you?" was the question that shocked Wynn as she was traversing to the waterfall. Not something you heard everyday. Wynn surely hope she didn't just wind up interupting some important conversation. She was deeply worried. Thoughts flowed through her head like, was there a murderer on the campus? Wynn sudenly was having second thoughts about coming to visit the waterfal, especially alone. "Perhaps I should have stayed in my dorm room, or at least wait till I know, someone who could come with me. What am I thinking I am a future Guardian, how am I suppose to protect my people back home when at the first sighn of danger I want to tur tail and run away." Wynn decided to tay on her present course to the waterfall.

"Pardon me I hope you don't mind my intrusion, I just wanted to see the waterfall." Up so close the waterfall was trully breath taking. It was no less magnificent, Wynn hoped that the two others didn't mind her staying.

Jack looked ovr upon hearing the other girl.

"Oh, don't mind us..." He said as he looked back at the lake.

"My grandfather didn't, no..." His voice seemed to become softer as he spoke. "...I had spent part of my life in the military, sadly when I left, they got angry and began searching me out. So when my grandfather, dad, and I all began working on the original rail gun design, they discovered our location and assasinated my grandfather while he was cutting unesseccary sections off of the barrel. We didn't hear the shot, but after the torch was on the ground I attempted to put it out.."

ooc:|| I don't mind at all, afterall ^^ This is an open thread, and your welcome to roleplay any day! ^__^

With the sound of rushing water nearby and the addition of a mind clouded by thoughts, Yang had failed to realise that somebody esle had joined them. Instead, when Jack had seemed to turn around to look at something, Yang had mistaken it for him glancing at another random part of nature again, but the reason as to why he was talking to the lake, she had no idea. As he continued to explain his story, Yang felt an extremely low sinking feeling in her gut. The past of so many at this school had been so tragic, and with that thought, an over whelming feeling took over her.

She was about to grab him by the shoulders as if to back up her words, but instead offered a hand to him. "If you ever need anything.. anything! I'm willing to listen.." She spoke as she took a glance into his eyes. Then without noticing, she had turned her head to see the water fall again.

And that was when she finally noticed she'd ignored somebody. The girl seemed to have come out here to look at the water fall too and definately looked impressed by it. "Hiya!" Yang exclaimed, as part of her mind forgot that she was still waiting for a hand shake from Jack. Waving her free hand to the girl she continued with an enthusiastic, "Its breath taking isn't it?!... I have chips if you want some!!" She exclaimed excitedly.

But the chaos started, when Yang had taken a step forward to meet up with the girl, whilst her mind was still so consumed with cheering up Jack. Her hand was still extended to him, and glued on the spot it seemed. When she took that step forward, the extended hand had held her back, causing her to fall flat on her back, from shock more then anything...

Whilst on the ground, Yang noticed she still had her hand extended towards Jack, upside-down, it was still waiting for a hand shake. She stared up as she saw the clear blue sky and part of Jack's head. Suddenly breaking up into laughter, anyone passing by would truely think that she'd lost her mind, but regardless of what people thought, Yang still kept that hand there for Jack. "I'll always be willing to help." She continued, her hand still extended upside-down, and she was still on the ground with a friendly grin planted on her face.

Jack continued to smile as he shook the hand some.

Wynn joined the conversing duo and parked herself on the ground nearby. Any shyness she had was immediately gone as after witnessing Yang falling down and then being able to laugh hysterically about it. Even though Wynn tried to hold it back she couldn’t help but laughing too as she seemed to be alright. She then heard Jack thanking Yang for any help or any future help that she might receive in the future all the while explaining that problems for him go out of the ordinary.

“Yeah but I’m sure that’s with everyone at this High School I mean how normal can your life be with all these superpowers and gifts that we have been blessed with. Things are bound to get a little hectic. But nothing a bit of perseverance and a dash of hope won’t solve.” Said Wynn

On the same if there is anything I can do to help I’m pretty sure that I would be willing as well. Oh by the way my name is Wynn, Wynn Silk.”

Yang stared at Jack's smile, and thought about what he said about his problems being far too abnormal for her. "Then.. I'll try my best to be better than normal." returning the smile, with a pearly white one of her own, Yang got to her feet as fast as possible. Brushing her clothes from the snow and dirt, she ran over to where her back pack and bag of potato chips rested, on the ground that was not too far from where the girl who'd introduced herself as Wynn, was sitting.

Whilst doing so, Yang gave herself time to think about what Wynn had said. Had Yang's life been as hectic as most of the students here? In her eyes, definately not. Infact, seeing as any 'gossip' about her power was highly contained back at home, Yang didn't seem to have any problems at all. She lived a care-free life.

Wasting no time in joining her, Yang took a few steps, dropped her bag and sat right down next to Wynn. Re-opening the packet of chips again, Yang pointed the opening in the girl's direction. At the same time Yang leaned over her crossed legs and patted the space on the ground infront of herself and Wynn. As if to call Jack over to take a seat and possibly make some sort of triangle of conversation.

"Wow, thats a good remedy, Wynn." Yang said smiling towards her as she was refering to how she would go about fixing a little bump in the life of a meta. "Or.. Would you prefer I called you Miss.Silk?" She said, wondering about the time she'd confused a first name with a last name at this school. "I'm Yang-Yang by the way." She added afterwards, "But you, can call me Yang."

While yang and Wynn continued the conversation, Jack searched through his small backpack until he came across his small portable stove. He then took it, along with found cups of ramen noodles and walked over to the other two. While they talked he poured water from his canteen into the large lid that covered the capsule like oven and placed it ontop of the warmer. He then placed the two new objects in the middle of Yang and Wynn and sat down.

"I come bearing gifts of food and drink..." He said with a slight chuckle. It seemed nice that he had remembered to bring something to eat. Otherwise he would have been hungry all day.

Occ: I assuming is sometime around afternoon to evening since you saved the chips from lunch, let me know if im wrong though.

Wynn watched as Yang got up, introduced herself and offer her some chips; in which Wynn gladly except. The watched as Jack came over with a warmer of some sort and was preparing some Ramen Noodles, which would be very good at time like this.

“Oh Wynn is fine” and then she turned to Jack so she could inquire about his name. “And may I Ask your name?” she paused to let him answer before continuing “Well this is quite a picnic, If I knew I would be staying I would have brought something to eat and thus would have something to offer you guys as well. But I figured I wouldn’t staying to long as I wouldn’t have wanted to be out here by myself after it gets to dark.”

Wynn then looked back at the waterfall and wished she would have brought something to sketch the waterfall with as it was simply remarkable. Sure there was always tomorrow but as of now Wynn was certainly not thinking about going to her dorm for that matter.

ooc:|| Your quite right ^__^ I had in my mind the time of around about 3-4pm, so yush. If you have any objections, then feel free to speak them ^^; I dont mind.

Yang was surprised that Jack had armed himself with food stuffs too, she'd thought that he was only out here to train. Nonetheless, Yang still smiled and clapped. "Yey! Picnic!" Yang exclaimed grabbing hold of a chip and munching it in her mouth. Then she took the packet of chips and placed them in between them along with the two items that Jack had brought along.

Turning to Wynn, Yang gave out a friendly smile, "No worries at all! The more the merrier!" She said clapping her hands once again. "Besides, I wouldn't want to be caught her alone in the dark too.." she continued considering that she was only going to read for 3 hours maximum before having to head back. "So, I guess we could even stay to look at the stars!" She said growing more cheerful than before, "How about it Jac-?" Yang asked looking towards his direction before stopping dead in her tracks..

"hmm.. Maybe we should go and look at the stars some place esle, on another day..." Yang said pressing her two index fingers together in a way that would only be seen in Anime. "I mean.. I don't think its safe for us to make our way back to our dorms from the waterfall when its dark." She explained taking another potato chip from the bag.

Jack stopped for a second.

"Well, you're both pretty safe as long as I'm around, and if that though ever crosses your mind, you're both safe from me as well." Jack said as he walked back with his lothes. He then dropped them and began utting on his shirt and vest. With that he searched through his bag a little then found his holsters for his desert eagles.

"Here, this is a 44. desert eagle with the stopping power capable of stopping just about anything you shoot at with it, and it's recoil is manageble" He dropped both holsters in front of the girls then drew his trigun magnum revolver.

"So....if safety is an issue, I have plenty more guns to toss out for use..."

Wynn gazed upon Jack's amunition and thought of it quite odd for a kid to be carrying around weapons of the such. But then realized that if one had to choose a gun shot wound or all the magic that some of the student's are packing at this school a death by gun would be favorable. Still it was sort of wierd with a chilly sort of feeling to be so close to one. But Wynn would have rather have them with someone who knows how to use them, then to have no protection at all. Hopefully though the day could pass on without use for gun and powers or any type of violence of some sort. The time was just to peaceful and it would be a shame to have it ruined in violence.

So Wynn continued to gaze upon the beauty of the waterfall before deciding to speak up once more. "So guys what are your hobbies, I like art. Any kind really sculpting, painting, sketching. I also play the viola in my spare time that's all for music though. I know a few tunes on the piano, but there nothing but beginner songs. Like simple one handed lullabys. So most of the time when I won't be studying I plan on spending my time as such. What about you guys?" asked Wynn.

After the two answered she began with her next question. "Oh yeah are the rumors about this school true, I heard that although the educational facilities are comparable to none and this is the best place for humans and metas and endowed children, etc. That at times this school could be quite dangerous. Is that true, have you ever witnessed anything of this sort or is it just stories?" she asked.

Yang stared blankly at the two firearms as he placed them infront of the two before giving a cheery laugh. "I can't possibly pull the trigger on anything" She said smiling before sliding the gun away from her and back towards Jack with her finger. "-not even if someone were to attack. But I guess if anything happens, we have you." She said giving a thumbs up before adressing Wynn's question about hobbies.

Yang had to especially think hard about this... What excactly were her hobbies? "Well-" Yang started stalling time to find an apropriate answer by taking another chip and throwing it in her mouth. Eventually, Yang decided she would just list the things she did whilst she wasn't studing and with that she swallowed the chip.

"I like to read books... Infact I came out here in search of a great reading location." She began, the packet of chips looking so inviting to try and buy time once again... Ignoring her thoughts, she continued. "Though novels are all well and good, I really like.. no love, Manga the best!" She exclaimed, though managed to calm herself down. "I guess because the images were drawn so amazingly, and the storylines are so interesting." Yang had explained this because what she was going to say next was highly unlikely.

"Thats why I like to draw Manga myself." Pausing, she then quickly continued with, "I also enjoy eating, doing nothing in the garden and from now on, the water fall. Oh.. and I like to stare at my ceiling." She said hoping that all that she had said would suffice.

Then Wynn had asked about the dangers that popped up at this school. Yang had heard on coutnless times that the school did probably have something insanely big happen, though until she'd confirmed it, she was going to remain quiet about it. Afterall, as Wynn'd said, they could've just been rumours.

It almost seemed odd, an empty feeliung that left him a bit dazed. After a few seconds he stopped and looked back at Yang and Lynn.

"Oh, ummm, Marksmanship for one, I also like to build, and I like to help out at the Meta-orphanage whenever I get the chance..." Jack paused for a second. "...If you'd like to see any of my creations, they're nothing like my spiders..."

Wynn listened to Yang and Jack’s hobbies and found that she had similar hobbies in common. And since Yang nor Jack had said anything to confirm Yang’s suspicions about AHS, Wynn assumed that for the majority sakes this school is pretty safe.

Wynn was more preoccupied with what Jack called his spiders. Was he an alchemist of some sort? Can Alchemy create living spiders or were they derived from his gift. He said he like creating things so maybe it was mechanical of some sort. Regardless the suspense was killing her.

“Would you happen to have them with you, if so yeah I would like to see them.”

Wynn wasn’t like most girls and wasn’t to petrified by creepy crawly’s etc.

A smile appeared on his face as he pulled three golf balls out of his pocket. he then began juggling them around. Slowly after a minute or so three silver balls the same size appeared in the tossing, then three black balls, then three gold balls, then finally three platnum balls. all of which were the same size. After juggling themm all for a few seconds he stopped allowing them to drop to the ground. All the balls uncurled before hitting the grund, forming small mechanical spiders. Once they had landed they all focused their red sensor eyes towards Lynn. they had never gained any recorded images of her, so naturally their undeveloped AIs would look to see if she was like everybody else.

"They have AIs in them but not enough thinking capacity to beat that of a cat's."

Both of them had not answered Wynn, and Yang couldn't help but wonder if she was already confirming things herself just by the expressions on both of their faces. Either way, Yang had also been told that the school is relatively safe and that there was nothing to worry about.

She watched once again as Jack pulled his juggling curled up spiders act. The first time she saw it though, if she'd remembered correctly, the spiders came out of his sleeves.. Or so it seemed.

Whilst at the lunch table, Yang had noticed that Amaya seemed very tense around the spiders, and so Yang couldn't help but wonder about Wynn's reaction to the spiders which now looked as if they were studing the girl sitting right next to her.

But Yang quickly thought back to her spider sitting next to her bed. She was slowly learning more about them which each time she'd bumped into Jack, and their was nothing stopping her curiosity. "Whats.. an A.I?" She asked, not ever having any idea of robotics. Looking over at Wynn she gave a friendly grin, "He made them all by himself!" Yang said jumping to conclusions. "Do you like them?"

Wynn looked at Jack juggled platinum balls and watch them as they were on the ground sprout legs and begin to function as if they had a life of their own. They seemed to have focused on her for a bit but Wynn just assumed that, with her being knew they were quite curious about her. To be honest Wynn had no idea what to expect, what she saw went far beyond what she would imagine. They were brilliant works of science and the fact that she was being informed by Yang that he had created them all by himself only seemed to add to their magnificence. The way they were able to move and operate on their own was breathtaking. The way their legs all moved in conjunction with each other and in perfect harmony to give it mobility easily show the craftmanship and the amount of work that was put into it. Wynn being a major Art freak was perfectly capable of letting people's art work speak for themselves (in more ways than one).

"There Remarkable" said Wynn as she looked at them some more. The fact that they had some form of AI made them all the more cool. Of course Wynn was that engineered oriented but only knew basic terms and used contex clues to figure out the rest. So when Yang asked about AI's Wynn thought she could assist. "Im not sure of the exact term, Something like Artificial Intellect, or something of that sort. All I know really is that it's one of the most if not the most advance forms of Robotics engineering. Their ultimate goal is to parallel the function of the human brain. Giving robotics the capability of thought more or less. I still can't belive im staring at one that's examining me though. I always figured machines like these would be locked up in a Goverment Facility of some sort. I wonder what information it's processing on me?

"Well if I ever run into any mecha$nical problems I know who to turn to. So can you tell me about them, you might have to go slow though if you don't mind so that we can keep up." said Wynn as she inquired more about the functions of the Spiders.

"Well, the platnum ones are sleeping gas spiders, which can be used multiple times, the gold ones are flash bangs, the silver ones are frag, and the black ones are incindiary. The do explode but not on their own will power. You have to throw them or attach them to something." He then picked up one of the spiders. "They make good pets too, sweet little things can get playful at times..."

sugar spice and everything nice!

Yang stared off into blank space as Jack ran through each of the spiders capablities once again. It wasn't that she was bored from hearing it twice, but this time she was thinking about something. What if..?

When Wynn had let Yang in on a small shred of her knowledge on Artificial Intelligence, Yang had simplified it to 3 easily understandable words. "Complicated robot's brain." And that was, what lead to another thought. To her knowledge, robots have been known to be er.. not excactly 100% trustworthy, and on the odd occasion have been known to malfunction... If this were the case, wouldn't that mean that if anything were to go extremely wrong, human lives were running the risk of recieving serious injury from these.. these.. weapons.

Yang looked up at the sky for a few moments as Jack talked about the spiders making wonderful pets. Although Jack had already informed her that the robotic arachnid was not going to walk away on it's own without being 'activated' but somehow, Yang couldn't find those spiders trustworthy anymore. Perhaps it could've sprouted legs and walked away.. Literally. She felt an uncontrolable need to go and check if that spider was still there. So with that thought, Yang's fingers quickly grasped a strap of her bag, and with one swift action, she stood to her feet and swung it over her shoulder.

"Sorry about that, so suddenly-" Yang began looking and Wynn and then Jack, "But I just remembered, Er- I have to do something back at my room." She finished walking briskly towards the trees, "It was fun eating together!" Yang exclaimed before turning around. "See you, Wynn! Jack!" Sliding her other arm into the other bag strap, she waved to them both before saying, "You can eat the chips! They really do taste better here!" And with that, she turned back towards the direction she was facing and grabbed the straps at her shoulders and ran off into the trees.

Jack gave a small wave, with a confused look on his face. Again, another person that watched the movie "Virus" one too many times....

Jack began to lay down onto his back but was interruted by six gunshots from the forest.

"noooo......let there be eight....let there be seventeen shots...." There wasn't. After a few move seconds Jack stood up and snatched his clothing from the pile.

"Keep the portable stove, I've got three..." Jack said as he began running towards the direction the gunshots came from.
