Rhythm Emotion

[Yuku]

Yuku  was a rogue, he found himself all over the place, so leave it to him to just up and wander into Nameless, the land of the clockworks in the middle east. His plane made an emergency landing just outside of the territory and while hw waited what would be several hours fora private plane to be sent out by his boss he figured he would traverse the region and lo he  had found himself in a virtual oz, a steampunk looking land of the clockworks.

[Zealous]

Zealous was running around in her kitten form getting into as much trouble as physically possible. She had been busy in the lab all week so now she was causing trouble. This was normal for her. She stopped when she saw someone new. She moves over to him, her rainbow eyes looking Yuku up and down, "I remember you..." She says though she couldn't quite grasp where she knew him from.

[Yuku]

Zealous' kitty-cat ears were familiar, he about lit up and held out his phone<We met once a long time ago, i visited a lab and things..maybe that was you?> he asked, definitely thinking this was the zealous he crossed when he met adam. He couldve bene wrong but what he didnt know was just what Zealous truly was to him..

[Zealous]

Z shakes her head, "No I'm not allowed out of this town... soooo couldn't have been mean, maybe the other Zealous." She poofs and turns into the cat girl that she is, she is floating upside down though. "OH are you the silent homunculus?"

[Yuku]

Yuku shrugged innocently <that must be it. I didnt know there were more..but yes I am silent and a homunculus. I was kept in a lab..i heard rumors> he looked down and sighed <I heard that i was made ot be silent so i couldnt scream, i dont know why but i think that was rude> he looked up and smiled softly <You seem fun>

[Zealous]

Zealous has to stare at him for a while. She feels the bind on her lessened just long enough to read Yuku's mind further back then even he knew then she was back in her own mind, what looks like oil dripping from her mouth. She was still a little broken and needed to get to Echo soon, but for now she had found the creation that had been stolen from her, "YUKU! I made you! Not... so you couldn't scream... who would do that!?"

[Echo]

The two guards standing watch at the front gates inspected Yuku from a distance. Since he was outside of the city limits, even if it was a few steps away, all they did was stare blankly. The tempo in Nameless shifted, and anyone remotely affected by machinery could feel the change--seconds before the nearest wall to Zealous had seemingly exploded into a pile of metal debris. However the metal parts that had tumbled out onto the cobblestone flooring was sticking to each other, bending and twisting to fit more like a glove, quickly forming into finger and then a hand easily fifteen to twenty feet in length. The arm braced its hand on the ground as if pushing upwards and from the rest of the building which was now collapsing, sunk into the shape of a face and body fitting a very large humanoid robot. A multitude of yellow glass encompassed eyes peered from the heap of metal, radiated a warm glow as they settled on the feline and other being outside the gate.

Echo was inspecting Yuku much like a father would have with an unruly child who wanted to play with one of his own creations...namely Zealous. With a deeply monotone and synthetic computerized voice, the god of science finally spoke sternly,"Zealous...". Very carefully he snatched the Nekomimi from the air by the back of her dress,"What did I say about inviting people over without telling me...?". The god didn't sound the least bit interested in Yuku but felt the question needed to be asked.

[Yuku]

Yuku had wanted to ask about hte oil but then she claimed to be his creator and he silently gasped. He started to tear up at the idea of finally meeting the one who made him <Why dont i talk?> he had to ask. He didnt mind it at all but he was curious as to why. Was he flawed at all? He couldnt ask more before the wall nearby crumbled and he backed up, ready to duck behind Zealous, unil she was lifted into the air. When he got a good look at Echo he was elated and ran right up to him. <Hi, she made me so shes like my mom. I just wandered out here on my own...can we be friends? I have an action figuret hat looks kind of like you, i bet you would be a neat one too.>

[Zealous]

Zealous giggles as she is lifted into the air, "Oh I didn't invite him~!" She says before looking down at Yuku, "You don't remember when I made him Echo?" She asks using his grip on her dress to swing a little bit. "You aren't flawed at all~ You gave me your voice box so that I could speak after mine broke~" She says. Zealous tries to wiggle out of her dress to show Yuku her inside bits, she didn't quite get why the one working clockwork homunculus was supposed to be a secret.

[Echo]

Echo let out the closest thing that could be called a sigh. The two beings before him were truly children, but he was naturally a patient "father". The same emptiness gazed down at Yuku as he thought of what to say to the small newcomer."While I don't doubt her abilities...I do doubt her...choices. Zealous, you are in need of a repair. Yuku, you are welcomed in my city". His multitude of eyes set on the cat girl once more as she wiggled about in his literal iron grasp. The fabric would tear far before any harm would come to Zealous. Echo's response to the other homunculus was short and mentioned almost as a side comment; the Master Clockwork tended to get wound up in so many experiments and projects himself that manners often times slipped to the wayside. His focus was now on his broken anomaly, already imagining how and what to fix her jaw with this time around. The machine turned to very slowly head back to the maintenance area of Nameless, much in the fashion like a gorilla would have on all fours, save for the one arm that was holding Zealous.

[Yuku]

Yuku was, needles to say, delighted. This Echo, this amazing giant action figure of a creature, welcome him in his great city and lo this woman was his 'mother' and in fact his lack of a voice was from a valiant deed rather than a flaw. He had probably just been made when he gave up his voice which explained his complete lack of a memory an when he had been stolen all the new memories likely flushed anything out of him. But now he could make new memories. Of course he followed them, like a puppy. He seemed to be searching for something. He had with him on a little backpack featuring a fusion of bug and cat but he pulled from it among thieves tools and weapons, which by itself was funny, a figurine. <Mr Echo, see, you look like this!> he held it up. <Are there lots like you here? That i can meet?>

[Zealous]

Zealous curled up into the crook of Echo's arm, after her dress had ripped enough. Zealous looks up at Echo, "Power is low. Need sleep." She says bamfing into her kitten form. Once in her kitten form though she was able to be awake for a while longer as it took less energy, she would have to go back to her humanoid form once they were in the maintenance area so that Echo could see what was wrong with her. She giggles, "not like Echo. He's HUGE, and super awesome, but lots of his creations live here. Like me~"

[Echo]

The clockwork's stride was smooth and calculated. Even when he wasn't actively looking down, he was making sure his large bulky form wouldn't crush Yuku had the young homunculus decided to walk under his feet. Echo kept up the conversation though he was thoughtful about his words as he chose them, pausing ever so briefly to gaze down at the figurine of himself with a faint expression like he studied it,"Hm. That's nice". Fluidly he pressed onwards, responding to Yuku's inquiry,"Negative. Zealous is correct. I have many creations here in my chassis but none quite like me". He didn't sound upset by mentioning it but rather prideful that he was able to show off his expertise. For the remainder of the walk he would stay quiet, his internal connection with part of Zealous monitoring her what he could of her system. The details were always blurry for him to see thanks to the Nekomimi's half magic nature. Eventually though they arrived at what looked to be a scrapyard, and gently the brute machine set the napping girl down, prepping all of the required material he may have needed to do repair her with.

[Yuku]

Yuku was close at the robo-gods side, even the rather simple comment in regards to his figurine warranted a little smile. Yuku it seemed held a certain fascination with things like figurines and dolls because as a homunculus he himself had been 'made' so on some level he related to them. He wondered though what it mustve been like to have clockwork parts too. He HAD to learn all he could while in this land. When they reached the scrapyard-looking home of Echo's he was again awed <I talk through machines so i like these things. Im glad though if i gave my mother my voice, she could remind me now that she made me that way.>

[Zealous]

Once Zealous was lying on the table she turned back into her more humanoid form, the sound of some of her metallic bits cracking and bending in ways they aren't supposed to could be heard, she meows in pain instead of actually crying out. She looks up at Echo, "Right arm broken, rib cage bent, and... heart device getting worn out." She says. "And left lung leaking." She was giving Echo as much of a diagnosis as she could. She smiles at Yuku, "You are perfect and curious~"
