Where There Is Smoke...

[Sanura Ghanem]

The skyline was beautiful at night. That much Sanura knew was true about Nameless as she sat on one of the high tech building rooftops overlooking the rest of the smoggy cityscape, the so-called Old Town that existed just across the main bridge between that world and this more refined one. Her well toned legs draped over the side of the roof as she pondered aloud over the scenery,"How are you doing Big Daddy...?". That was a question to her god, the nickname was something she attached when he had given her a second chance. The clockwork woman let her bias towards her god show more in reclusion. She continued on with her small talk, feeling the sentient energy within the workings of every tile, every wire line herself as her hands contacted with the roof to prop her up as she leaned back. "Stressed, huh. I don't blame you. So many things to build so little space to put them...". Sanura's tone trailed off as she felt a shift in the city. A silent soft cry in her head--something she didn't know how to interpret. It made her nervous at first though not overly so, at least she didn't show it. Her silvery eyes drifted off in the direction of where she knew the Deadlands to be, the area where Rhaego and Echo constantly vied for control but neither ever won. The faintest tips of her brows pinched curiously together at that area, wondering if that had something to do with it.

[Kakeru Kun Fallen]

Kakeru had managed to find the city of Echo. He still had bruises from his time with the Independents right hand, but he didn't care he still had to do his job. He moves through the city as quick as he could. The elf, being what he was never enjoyed going to Nameless, everything felt so... inorganic and it bothered him at his core. He had to wonder if this town had ever seen a blizzard, had ever seen snow in general, it tempted him but for the moment he behaved. He was carrying a package something for Echo.

[Sanura Ghanem]

Sanura listened to the sighs of the city, but her attention was instructed elsewhere as one of the guardsmen started in a beeline towards the front gate. With slight interest she let her eyes follow the creation until she realized it had discovered a person with skin several feet away. Being part of the city guard meant she had to investigate the disturbance as much as Echo's programmed beings. A kick of her knee high boots opened the high pressure valve allowing her to glide from one rooftop to the next with little effort; the clockwork had to hold up the sides of her dress to prevent the steam from damaging the hem of her dress any further. Landing on the corner closest to the scene, crouching, she let her mechanical friend do some of the talking before she chimed in herself, eyes set solidly on the man."Nice package you have there, short stack. Mind showing me what you've got?" she purred, biting at her lower lip without ruining the red lipstick she wore.

[Kakeru Kun Fallen]

Kakeru looks at the guard and sighs, why did this place always have so many guards. He looks up at the woman and arches a brow, "Hey there beautiful. The name is Kakeru Fallen. I'm bringing a package to my brother. Easiest way to get to him is through Echo. So lovely if you don't mind, wanna take me to the big man?" He completely ignored the guard, and gave Sanura what was normally a heart warming smirk.

[Sanura Ghanem]

She returned a sly smile, moving her dress in such a way that made it easy for her to hop off the roof and land next to the city's guard. "I'll take it from here, thanks" she nodded to the chrome reinforced being, giving it a pat on its arm. It made some sounds like muttering to itself as it turned about and headed back the way it originated from. Once the machine was out of the way she closed the distance between her and the elf."Well since we're so focused on introductions, I'm Sanura...but don't let my presence prevent you from doing your job" she cooed, taking a look over the box that the gunslinger had brought with him, and brushed passed the shorter male when she had finished clearly flirting with the man. The dress she wore had the sides split 3/4rths of the way up her legs on both sides, showing a good deal of athletic legs. Sanura meant business in both her tone and body.

"Nameless is in his tower toiling away with gods know what". She took just enough time to glance over her shoulder to check out the newcomer from head to toe, wondering what race he was. The demeanor around the woman was a mixture of arrogance and poise-someone who could play her cards right just as well as any Casanova. If he wasn't dumbfounded by her sly attitude and actually followed her slow walking pace, he'd realize that she was indeed leading him to Echo's location.

[Kakeru Kun Fallen]

Kakeru smirks at the girl and follows. "Well that's good to know. So lovely, why do you live here instead of in the real world with the rest of us?" He asks with one hand in his pocket the other on the package. Why Jakyb wanted baby girl clothes Kakeru couldn't even fathom, but hey maybe his brother had acquired some VERY weird fetish... he did not know nor did he want to.

[Sanura Ghanem]

The woman kept her steady pace, hips swaying, though she wasn't in any particular hurry to get the items Kakeru had delivered. Lifting up her right arm, Sanura nodded to the prosthetic that took the place of a real limb. Steel, or something close to the silvery metal coated the wiring inside it. "This and the debt that came with it. Come to think of it, how I ended up here was in your line of work. He sent me out on a mission to get something, and a mine exploded nearly taking me with it". A sensual smile still played on her lips as she explained herself. "I'm repaying the hunk of metal best I can, as per his demands. Least I can do...and besides, this place is all I've ever really known. As a clockwork myself this place feels more like home to me".

[Kakeru Kun Fallen]

Kakeru followers her and nods looking at arm that she held up, "AH I see. Well that's as good a reason as any." He replies trying to think of what eles to talk about she was pretty that was for sure, and he wouldn't mind being in her bed, but then he had to think of what sleeping with a clockwork would be like. Would his elven nature even allow for it? He kept up with her even though he was in deep thought.

[Sanura Ghanem]

The woman let a duration of silence wash over them as they entered into the main library belonging to Echo. Still she kept having this feeling like something was off with her god. The tempo that she normally felt changed its pattern on a dime's notice, making it more of a mental feeling that anything truly physical. Being not only in Nameless, but a clockwork herself had this effect on her...and sometimes the tune she heard was enough to distract her from completing everyday things.

Unaware that her new follower was thinking of more lewd acts, she gave him yet another smile and started up the flight of stairs." Echo, you have a visitor, and it's more than just me this time" she announced once they got to where he normally appeared, just outside his office. When he didn't she inclined a thin brow at the alteration of his habit and placed a hand against one of the large twin doors that was ajar. Barely peeking into the office she at first didn't see him; with a gentle push the door creaked wide enough opened so that she finally spotted him hunched over his work desk. What could only be deemed as a frustrated body language showed clearly, at least to Sanura, as Echo in his more human mimicking form took the draft he had been making, crumbled up the sketch and tossed aside. The god's back was to the duo, his feigned breathing (as he did not need such functions)was struggling. Again, the master clockwork started up the same Pattern, quickly got halfway through it, froze, and repeated the same discarding process. His grip tightened on the drawing utensil he was holding and it seemed like it would have snapped clean in half; however, he felt the presence of company and rose from his huddling to turn and finally face them. "Hello Sanura. Kakeru" he greeted and skillfully ignored the inner turmoil he was facing, masking it behind his usual monotone voice and mechanical nature, though the woman just across from him could certainly tell something was wrong."He's brought you a package", the spellsword announced, stepping aside so that Kakeru could deliver what he needed to.

[Kakeru Kun Fallen]

Kakeru walks over to Echo and smiles bowing his head, "Jakyb asked me to pick up some clothes for Zealous, along with some clothes for a new born girl." He says with a shrug. "Also some pieces to fix Zealous." He says holding the box out. "Is there anything else you need Echo?" He asks before looking to Sanura, "Can I take you to dinner as a thank you?"

[Sanura Ghanem]

"Negative", the god responded curtly, his tone a little shaken, "Thank you, Kakeru. Jakyb's items will be waiting for you on your way out of the city". His eyes drifted over to his assistant for a moment as he took the box. When a question was directed at the spellsword Echo looked from her and then back to the gunslinger.

The clockwork woman had been paying more attention to the god of Science, noting minute differences in the way he maneuvered about. There was something more than just stressing him out, but for her own life she couldn't pin point what it was. Sanura felt the urge to remain in Nameless, but the offer to leave had her more piqued."I'd be more than happy to accept". She smirked and started back out of the office once more.

[Kakeru Kun Fallen]

Kakeru nods and follows Sanura out of the office he was wondering what was going on with Echo but would rather not ask. He looks Sanura over and smirks at her. "What do you like to eat ma'am?" Kakeru asks politely.

[Sanura Ghanem]

"What do I like to eat...Mm", she purred suggestively, walking back into the ghost town that was Nameless' streets. "I haven't had much experience with food, but I've heard from Zealous that fish is good". Though she wasn't showing it, the feisty woman was internally eager to jump for joy with leaving the city. It had been several months since she set foot on earth.

[Kakeru Kun Fallen]

Kakeru gives her that normally heart warming smile, he holds out his arm for her to lead the way as they left the city, "I know of a great place right outside the desert to get fish. Zealous? How do you know Z?"

[Sanura Ghanem]

Sanura returned the smile and just to be polite to her company, she accepted the offer of his arm. Linking her arm into his she was still very much independent--someone who looked quick to turn the nice situation on its head if she so wished it."Good".Luckily for Kakeru, the clockwork woman was playing nicely."Oh that creampuff? It was hard to ignore her when I arrived back here. Always winding under my heels, disrupting my maintenance on the parts of the City...otherwise getting copious amounts of fur into everything". She shook her head sounding moderately irked at that last segment. To her, the feline that roamed Nameless was more a burden than anything. Least that's how her opinion generally came off as to onlookers.
