Shiver sighed as she dropped out of superspeed, lowering herself down through the air as she slowed down. Her silver aura, which had been brightly burning around her, started to fade in conjunction. Slowly but surely, the clouds parted before her, and Shiver's destination finally came into view. Mount Paozu, currently visible in all its glory to the airborne Arcosian. She'd heard a lot of good stories about the place, from a multitude of people. So she'd decided to check the area out herself, mostly because she had nothing else to do at the moment. As to what she'd be doing, well she had hadn't decided that yet. Maybe a bit of hunting? The place was apparently supposed to be teeming with diverse wildlife. There was also an extensive cave system, if those little vacation pamphlets were to be believed.
Continuing her gradual descent, Shiver started looking about for a place to start. The mountain grew steadily before her as she did so, no longer the faraway landmark she'd been observing. It certainly looked active, she could already make out a multitude of moving forms with just her eyes. Beneath the visible spectrum however, she could sense even more organisms, some of which were probably human. Shiver decided to aim for a more isolated area then, one without any humans at least more at the base of the mountain. Not that she disliked meeting new people, but for the moment she wanted to enjoy the area in peace. All too often had she been greeted with hostility upon showing her face, or more accurately her species. Really, it was just annoying the way some people still lumped her with the WTF.
She brushed through the upper branches of a tree cluster, clearing a path with her tail as she finally reached the ground proper. Touching down gently, Shiver immediately started casting wide looks around, simply absorbing the scene. It really was nice, lots of green and animals about, and she could hear the birds chirping happily. And she'd chosen a good day for it too, the sun was out and yet it wasn't overly hot, perfect. Now, to find something to actually do with the day. Floating into the air once more, this time only a few inches off the ground, Shiver started off into the woods. Idly she wondered if she could find the caves by tunneling through the Earth, if it really was that extensive.

Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed) Mt. Paozu, a land of strange possibility, every portion of the land immersed in great beauty. Shrouded in deep flora with a hefty amount of wild-life the mountainous acreage proved a great hunting area. The hunting of wild-life was an activity Dr. Soap took great enjoyment in the sport, going weeks on end without seeing other people. Dressed head to toe in a series of hunting gear it appeared that he was on that long hunting streak, still yet very focused. "Now where are you..." Soap's eyes would survey the immediate vicinity, to his dismay he wouldn't find anything. The clutter of the forest interfering with his vision. "This is the problem with relying solely on biological functions. There's certain things you simply just can't improve." Soap took off his glasses, pocketing them away. Squinting his eyes they morphed and changed in shape, going from a regular eye's appearance to what looked like a zoomed in lens. Through his eyes it appeared that he was able to see things from afar much better, honing in on something far into the distance. His eyes opened wide, his hands reached for his rifle. Readying it as he contorted his arms in a kind of manner as to aim with it. Soap squinted his eyes further, essentially "zooming" in more. Upon further it inspection of the target it appeared to be some kind of wolf! The Doctor went in to take the shot, setting his sights onto the wolf. "Ready.. aim... fire!" **Bang!** Soap went on to take the shot, a slight stumble of his foot resulted in him missing his target. Merely skimming the side of the wolf. The animal briefly stood paralyzed in shock, running away as it hid itself among the immediate shrubbery. "Damn.. Guess I'll have to go after it." He did exactly that, beginning to run after the wolf. Though aiming for a stealthily hunt before it quickly changed to a chase. **Clang. Clang. Clang.** A loud series of footsteps slammed across the ground, the immediate vicinity shook. Birds flew up in the air, flying away from the trees they nested in. Soap kept the chase up, aiming at the wolf but barely missing it after every shot. Creating holes in the ground, though his chase continued he stopped immediately. Losing interest over his hunt given this new encounter he was just upon. An Arcosian, of all the races to see in the woods it was definitely one he didn't expect to see. In aims to introduce himself Soap waved a hand, setting his rifle aside briefly. "Why, hello. The name is Soap, Dr. Soap. And your name is?"Shiver |

Looking about as she wandered, Shiver's first indicator of something out of the ordinary was the loud *Bang* not too far away. She lowered herself down to the ground, looking in the direction it had come from. More shots sounded, growing louder, and soon she could hear a strange clanking sound. Frowning slightly, Shiver extended her senses in that direction, hunting out the oncoming source of noise. Yep she could sense several weak power levels heading closer...except they were average human levels of weak. And that didn't explain the way the ground and trees were shaking ever so slightly. The birds were reacting too, Shiver watching flock after flock take flight as the powers headed ever closer.
Suddenly a wolf burst into view, hardly looking at her as it sprinted past, panting heavily. Shiver let it go on its way, instead looking towards the pursuer, maybe a hunter of some kind? Sure enough the human that came...clanking..out of the shrubbery was dressed in trademark hunting gear, and even held a human firearm. Shiver narrowed her eyes as scanned the man, there was something off about him. The sound for instance, but also the way his skin seemed to pulse...shimmer in the sun? Weird, though thankfully the human seemed friendly at least. That was the only important thing really, the stars were amazingly diverse with life after all and you just couldn't judge by appearances. He was even setting his rifle aside.
Shiver didn't have a weapon of her own to put down as a gesture of good faith, hopefully acting friendly would be suitable. Returning his wave with one of her own, Shiver stepped forward with a nervous smile, offering a hand to shake like she'd seen other human's do. "Shiver, My name is Shiver. Good to meet you." She nodded towards the weapon he'd just put down. "You doing some hunting huh? I saw your wolf, ran right by here. " She pointed towards where it had run, though she silently hoped it got away. Perhaps that was why she asked her next question, or maybe it was just the normal curiosity. She'd never met a human doctor before, and apparently there were different kinds. "What would you happen to be a doctor of?"

Still somewhat engaged in his hunting expedition he fired off a few more shots at the wolf with gun, no target in sight he just kept firing at the wolf's general direction. Shot after shot and yet no successful hit, he'd cast his rifle yet again giving up fully this time. "I suppose its time to bury the hatchet." Soap's concentration was once again brought back to the Arcosian. He returned the handshake, if she noticed his hand would be deceptively heavier than it appeared. Weighing what felt like something not normal for a man his size. Letting go of the hand he reached back into a burlap sap behind his bag, upon retrieving the given item it appeared to be some kind of cooked animal meat. Taking a few quick bites before readdressing the person in front of him, having seemingly forgotten about Shiver. "Oh.. right, right. You're here. I guess its nice to see another person, after a while no?" A few more bites were taken out of his cooked meat. It seemed like he enjoyed the food, as plain as it seemed. "Doctor of what you ask? That's an excellent question.. I'm both a Surgeon and Biologist. But those are very lax studies of mine, I'm much more of a scientist. Cybernetics is my main focus." Soap looked at his body, examining his very flesh. Forming a fist with a hand as a series of veins began to sprout from his hands. "When it came to it, I couldn't stop just at my research. My body was the next step, my body became the research." The doctor began laughing, going back to eating his food. Stopping briefly as he went to back to discussion. "Maybe its the loneliness that's compelled me to talk at such great lengths. Oh well."

He had an interesting handshake, very firm and heavy, more so than she'd expected. It also gave her the chance to take a closer look at his skin, at the way it seemed to quiver and pulse. Ugh, that was weird alright, and it wasn't all either. His energy signature...was split into two? Shiver blinked in surprise, peering at the man as she released his hand. It seemed bizarre, impossible even, but her senses hadn't failed her yet. There really were two separate ki presences in front of her, except she could only see one, what the hfil. Dr. Soap looked up again, and Shiver looked away, directing her gaze at an interesting patch of dirt.
She hadn't meant to stare, though thankfully the man hadn't noticed. Instead, funnily enough, he'd been focused on eating something. For a doctor he seemed a bit absentminded, though it had worked in her favor this time. His explanation was also somewhat helpful, cybernetics huh? Maybe that explained the hand weight and other anomalies, like the clanking sound. The way the doctor help up and examined his fist certainly seemed to indicate as such. "Yeah," She chuckled lightly at the Doctors words," I've done the same a few times."
From there, a sort of awkward silence took over, as Shiver realized she didn't know what else to say. She was interested in the cybernetic thing, but now she was worried about crossing some sort of line. And she didn't want to say goodbye either, not so soon and not without unravelling the doctors secrets. Her tail flicked about behind her anxiously as she fished for something to say. She tossed a somewhat desperate glance about the area...and froze as she saw something she hadn't noticed before. There was a small hill a little ways off, heading farther up the mountain. And in the side of that hill was a dark circle, a cave entrance, the cave system! Shiver looked at it for a moment before turning back to the doctor, pointing it out carefully. "Well, I was going to do some exploring while I was here. If your feeling bored, wanna join me? There's probably plenty of animals to hunt in there too."

The Doctor felt his boredom start to creep up on him, perhaps he should take to hunting again or just stop. Going off to find other things to do, the thought definitely wrung with him for a while. The hand-shake given was definitely an odd one. There was something off about feeling another person's skin after so long. Like a craving that built up inside of him that was finally being released, perhaps real person-to-person contact wasn't so bad. "So you've gone to explore have you? Hmm..." Soap reached into a coat pocket, grabbing hold of a gun! It was a revolver, empty of course. Bullet by bullet, he loaded ammunition into the compartment. "Good, we might find some game on the way then."
The revolver was put in its holster, he played with yet another revolver. Doing the exact same thing in comparison to the last. "Am I bored, I think yes. But did you ask me because I'm bored, or because you're bored. Never-mind..." The Doctor swung his head back and forth, yawning aloud. He looked to where Shiver seemed to be emphasizing, a tall hill. Bound to have wild-life on it. Grabbing his rifle yet again he armed himself head to toe properly. "There's nothing holding us back, let's go."

Shiver smiled at the doctor's antics and words. Yep, he was an absentminded one alright, but that was ok with her. He seemed easygoing enough because of it, and without a hostile bone in his body. Those were ideal traits to have in companions anyway, and at least the conversations would be interesting. She nodded to the taller figure, already making a mental list on what to ask and how to broach the subject. "Alright then," She said happily, still smiling slightly, "Lets get going while we still have the light." Not that the she needed the light, but he would probably want it. Was that going to be a problem in the cave?
Shiver took the lead, stepping forward first just in case something nasty awaited them. She'd only taken a few strides when she noticed something, there were tracks in the dirt, ones that looked like they could've come from a dog. They were also leading towards the cave, at least so far as she could see. She pointed them out to the doctor as she continued forward, trying to avoid stepping on them. "Look, I think we might even catch up to your wolf too, unless those aren't wolf tracks. I'm afraid I'm not much of a hunter, especially Earth animals." The tracks continued to coincide with their path as they walked, until there was no doubt where the creature was headed.
Soon, the cave entrance was looming before them, no longer a dark circle in the distance. Shiver stopped for a moment, extending her senses to check what awaited them. Well, there were no world busting threats ahead, but the sheer amount of life she could sense was astonishing. There were a LOT of creatures inside that cave, and wolf no doubt, maybe even more than once. The Doctor would surely get his wish for game. Shiver motioned for the human to follow and lit up her finger with her silver ki as a light source. And then she stepped in, the sun disappearing from sight and the smell of Earth filling her nose. Almost immediately she noted how the ground was sloping downwards, deeper into the Earth, and huge quantity of tracks her finger light revealed. This entrance was well traveled, and not just by animals either, she could see bootprints as well. Ohhh this was getting exciting, just what awaited them?

Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed) **Flick. Flick. Flick** Two trembling hands came together, one holding. a mechanical lighter. The other one a poor excuse of a cigarette, merely a few leaves rolled up with a piece of paper into one. Eventually it was lit successfully, his hands continued trembling as small bolts of electricity seemed to jolt up and down his arm. After a short moment's effort he eventually reached his face, struggling to do so. A few puffs were taken from the cigarette, holding it in his mouth as it swayed in Soap's mouth while he spoke. His footsteps seemed to emanate much more in the ground, without Shiver's ki or his cigarette there was nothing much more for them to see with. "Hmm..." But that would soon change, his eyes widened greatly. His pupils changed from color, eventually shifting to green permanently. The pupils themselves expanding greatly as his vision seemed to be enhanced. More acute to things he otherwise wouldn't be, to his dismay it appeared there wasn't anything of major significance. Eventually his sights began picking up readings, minuscule power-levels being available to his sight. He gripped a revolver, shooting wildly at his targets. **Bang. Bang. Bang.** Bats from the cave's ceiling fell on the ground, Soap look at them with discontent. Shaking his head, he wasn't pleased. "Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong. Don't you agree?" Soap's glare shifted throughout the entirety of the cave, his eyes eventually picking up on something. A humongous bear! Not so far away, rifle in hand he began to take aim. Lining up the gun with his target. **Bang.** His gun shot dead on, hitting the bear's head. To his surprise the bear didn't seem to be visibly affected, instead the animal grew very angry. Charging at him at full force, stuck in the moment Soap stood still without taking action. It appeared that he was just going to let it advance, unless something stopped that from happening. **Roar!!!*** The bear wasn't intent on stopping, its charge shaking the ground as it caused the cave to drop rocks from the sky.

Shiver watched with a wide eyed gaze at the changes the man was undergoing. His eyes, they had shifted into a brilliant shade of green, and actually widened! She'd looked back to ask if he needed a light or something...and then this! She thought to his earlier answer, maybe they were cybernetic eyes of some kind? Whatever they were, they worked, because the Doctors next action was to open fire inside the cave with his firearm, aiming at the weak lifeforms on the cave ceiling. He hit them too, several winged black rat things falling dead to the ground. "W-well," She stammered out, looking down at the dead critters as she sought for an appropriate response. "I think so? I mean, those certainly didn't count as big game if that's what you mean. Maybe you just need to be a little more patient?" She pointed down at the ground again, briefly illuminating it with her finger. "See, more tracks, from something big, and really recent."
She followed the tracks with her eyes, looking up gradually to see that yes, they WERE recent. A bear, lurking at the edge of her light source, was glowering right at them. Staring right at it, Shiver was unprepared for the sudden BANG, echoing madly in the enclosed environment. She jumped a good foot off the ground in fright, and the bear did the same, probably because of the bullet that smacked into its face. That was its only real reaction however, besides the sheer anger of course, evident in the beasts thundering roar. It charged right at them, or the doctor actually, and it evidently had no intentions of stopping. Shiver felt for the bear, she really did, it had a justified right to be ticked. But she wasn't going to let it hurt the doctor either. The moment before it reached the doctor, she intercepted it from the side, slamming a fist into the side of its head. Her fist held a good deal more force than a bullet, and the bear was thrown off its feet and into the cavern wall. Was it down? Shiver wasn't sure, she'd actually held back a good deal but still, that had been a solid hit.
She was unable to follow up however, as a few other presences made themselves known in that moment. Her ki sense warned her of the new weak presences just in time for her to face them, and Shiver caught a pair of snapping jaws inches from her face. A wolf, a big angry one, still trying to ravage her as she held it off. "Look out!" She yelled, two more of the beasts emerging from the shadows to attack. One of them had a spot of blood on its coat, as if it had been nicked by something. Was it the one the doctor had been chasing? Back for revenge with a few buddies? Shiver growled back at the one attacking her, finally throwing if off with a huff.

Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed) **Roar..** The bear seemed to be approaching at an alarming rate, shaking the ground terribly. Should he not take any action this spelled for trouble, but to his surprise it didn't seem so. Rifle cocked in hand he set his aim on the bear's yet again, before the shot could've been made a great interruption stopped it. The bear would get slammed to the side of the cave's wall, knocked unconscious at least for the time being. Soap slammed his rifle down on the ground, sighing aloud. "How unfortunate... This isn't the hunt I expected. We needn't bring our strength into this, let us use their power. Make it harder to win, isn't that better? The struggle to win over the power to win easily, makes for a better hunt I'd say." After the bear's quick end, two more creatures seemed to appear out of nowhere. Lurking just beyond his view from within the shadows, the Doctor pressed on. Taking hold of a revolver he held spare, shooting at one of the creatures the gunshot light illuminating the animal. To his surprise it wasn't any bear but in fact of a wolf, aesthetically similar to the one its size was much greater. The fur on its back taking a silvery white color, the alpha male most definitely. He grit his teeth, visibly under some kind of stress. A calm composure yet a focused mind, shoot as he did he only managed to injure the alpha. This wouldn't be the end of it. More wolves joined in.. the pack this time. Shooting them was much easier, they went down in a few shots each. One hand to his gun the other to his ammunition, constantly reloading as the numbers seemed to not stop. This was a wolf's den, from the likes of it. The doctor laughed, continuing the barrage of gunshots. "Now this is the hunt! No, cheap power. Just us and them, that's all that matters! Come on, fire away!" Soap tossed a revolver and some ammunition Shiver's way, should she use it or not was up to her. He kept shooting, walking back to the cave's entrance as he kept up the onslaught. The wolves didn't seem to be dead however, the great many of them left with heavy injuries. Eventually after walking back for so long, light from the cave's entrance coated his back. Enabling him to see much better. The rain of bullet's didn't stop, the clicking of his revolver seemed to repeat over and over. Shiver |

Shiver looked up and shrugged to the doctor, still waiting for the wolf to come at her again. She...really didn't agree, they had power, might as well use it. And really, there was no use pretending the wolves were on their level anyway. Even if that wolf had somehow managed to get a bite off, it would've just shattered its teeth. It lunged at her again, only to be smacked away by Shiver's tail, sending it tumbling. More wolves, some lunging at her some at the Doctor. The ones who targeted her were smacked away much like the first, Shiver's tail a blur about her. Honestly, she wasn't quite sure how else to "make it harder" save doing what she was doing and hitting with gentle love taps.
Then the doctor showed her, by throwing her a gun. Shiver caught it awkwardly, and almost dropped it immediately when trying to catch the ammo. Yeah, ok, she'd never used one of these before. She'd fired the WTF arm blaster before, but human weapons were a lot more primitive and different. Now, when she was fending off a canine onslaught, was not an optimal time to learn. Shiver shook the doubts from her mind, she was an Arcosian who'd traversed the stars, she could do this. Ok ok, just open up the gun with the button...ah there it was. Now just put the bullets in and close it up, then point and pull the trigger right. Shiver did just that, snapping the weapon closed and aiming it another lunging wolf. Click, no bang, no metal slug hurled at high speeds into the wolf. WHAT! Shiver smacked the beast away with a backhand instead at the last moment.
Why hadn't it worked, Shiver turned the gun around, pawing at it desperately. She hit another button in her frantic search, BANG, the weapon finally went off....firing a bullet right into her foot. It wasn't that bad, the bullet bounced off, but it was still a close call. At least she could turn the weapon on the wolf horde now, joining the doctor in shooting them down. Even so though they were being forced back, limited to these weaker weapons as they were. Soon the sun was touching their backs, and Shiver was wondering just how many wolves were in this cave. They did seem to be stopping however, finally, though some were just gluttons for punishment evidently.
There was another problem though, from behind them. At first she'd just barely sensed them in the distance, and then forgotten them, but they were getting closer. It sensed exactly like a group of humans, and a large group too, Shiver finally cast a glance behind her out the cave. There was a cluster of humans climbing the hill towards them, even from here Shiver could see their weapons. What they were doing she couldn't tell, but their ki felt dark and angry. Shiver realized then, that they were probably making a huge racket.

Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed) **Bang. Bang. Bang.** Soap's hand constantly reached for ammunition, reloading consistently. The wolf pack deterring him from making any advances, the constant animal hoard pushing him back. Without the usage of his actual power-level the challenge was all the more amplified, eventually it proved too much. The numbers seemingly having no end, getting the best of him. The Doctor tried shooting down more wolves, to his dismay there appeared to be a shortage on his part. A clicking noise sounded in his revolver, his hand moved his other revolver. The same result yet again, his rifle wasn't any better. Providing one shot, the loud sound seemingly attracted a great mass of people. For a moment he set that aside, fleeing from the cave. "Sometimes... the hunt doesn't always work out!"
Step by step he walked off from the wolves, they held their ground but seemed to stop pressing on after a certain distance. After a while he was in the clear, should Shiver follow her too most likely. With one problem down another came out of nowhere. A pack of humans, their origin, unknown, their motives, unknown. However their emotion seemed very clear, that of rage. His eyes scanned the crowd, some power-levels more significant than others yet in the grand scheme of things not as large as his. Though still he remained a certain level of civility. "My name is Dr. Soap, and who might you all be?"

Shiver sighed as she mirrored the doctors retreat from the cave, watching their encounter with the human band come ever closer. Looks like there was no avoiding them, not unless she wanted to unleash her full might and just one shot the entire wolfpack. She considered it, she really did, but she knew the Doctor didn't want to do it that way. Also, Shiver really didn't want to totally slaughter an entire cave worth of wolves. She'd come here to enjoy the sights, not drastically alter them. At least her hand wasn't forced in that regard thankfully as the wolves stopped following when they left. Now they just had that OTHER issue to deal with, which was currently encircling the crowd entrance and murmuring angrily. They had weapons too, including a few guns, many of which were pointed at her.
She let the Doctor take the lead here, well aware of the fear in their eyes when looking at her. He was civil, as far as she could tell at least, but the reaction was just intense hostility. There was a moment of pause before a burly bald man stepped forward, sneering openly while fingering a positively giant rifle. He was intimidating enough, with his tattoo markings, size, and deathly pale skin, but his power level was abysmal. "We're a group of concerned citizens of this fine area, we heard the shots you see." His tone range false from the beginning, Shiver narrowed her eyes at him, he was obviously lying. "And from what I can see, you two people are out here harassing the wildlife, up to no good for sure." So were going to be making a citizens arrest." He raised his gun suddenly, all the others following his lead. "Now drop everything you have, especially those guns, and then walk back into that cave."
Were...were they being robbed? This certainly didn't feel like a heroic intervention to her. Shiver looked at them for a moment, and then dropped her weapon, the motion drawing several more guns to her. Another of them, a mangy looking human female smirked at the sight, cackling softly. "Heh, you must be a pretty pathetic space lizard to be needing that piece. Offing you will be a real public service." Shiver just raised her hands in response, so much for the "concerned parties" bit. She looked to the doctor, when did she get to drop the act and lash out with her real strength? She wanted to do it now, especially after that last comment.

Dr. Soap Pl: 5 (Suppressed) S.U.D.S. Pl: 5 (Suppressed)
Usually alone in the wilds of the land people weren't a common sight, thought not used to Shiver. The fact that she was person made her much easier to deal with. On the other hand he was now in a much more foreign circumstance, the great number of people left him in great shock. It wasn't your run of the mil gathering of the common folk, this was an impressive mob of men and women all armed impressively. He put his hands in front of him, Soap shook his head. A sympathetic look on his face. "Put down your guns, they won't work." A man from the crowd armed with a shotgun, laughing at Soap. Aiming right at him, the man cocked the gun. Loading a bullet in the chamber
"Fine then, have it your way." The doctor tensed his muscles, quickly reaching for a gun. Before he could possibly hope to make use of the empty gun in anyway a series of gunshots flew in his direction. His eyes readied for the barrage looking shiftily at each member of the mob, oddly enough however he just stood in place. The outfit he had on his person tearing and shredding at various points with bullets holes. Shoot as they did the damage appeared to not affect him all that much, he still stood up. A strange thing began taking place.
His skin although torn and riddled with bullet wounds didn't appear to be bleeding, at various parts his skin sagged. Revealing a metallic skeleton beneath his very flesh, one hand being entirely exposed a metal skeleton's. The mob eventually stopped shooting, staring at Soap in shock. The very same man from before pointed at him in great confusion, trying to make sense of it all. "You're a freak!" The doctor walking, unstopped by the crew of people. Many of them shocked, others simply unsure what to do. Their arms proved no use. Soap would look back at Shiver, shrugging his shoulders. "Its been fun, but I must be leaving now." His body quickly being lost in the woods.

Shiver eyed the doctor suddenly at his admission of the futility of their guns. They wouldn't work hmmm? She'd known they wouldn't work on her, but hadn't been quite so sure for the Doctor given the low power level she could sense. It was good to know that he would be ok then, so she could stop worrying. Not that the humans listened of course, because why would they. Instead they just seemed to double down, one of them visibly loading their weapon. The air was tense, for the bandits at least, Shiver didn't have a care in the world anymore. Right on cue, the doctor when for his gun and the group of humans opened fire with everything they had. For her part, Shiver just closed her eyes and let the bullets wash over her, each bouncing off with nary a mark left behind.
That was not the case for the doctor, as she found out when the barrage ended and she opened her eyes. She was fine of course, but the doctor was riddled, his skin torn asunder by the bullet spray. Shiver was...super worried at first, ready to step forward and whisk him away to a hospital at top speed. But then she took a second look, noticing the way he didn't bleed, or even shirk away at the injuries. He didn't even seem fazed in the slightest. His power seemed fine too, and she could see the metal skeleton and hand. Oh...well there was that cybernetics focus, explained a lot actually. The crew of bandits seemed fairly shocked too, for once Shiver was no longer the main subject of interest.
And then there was silence, no one knowing what was about to happen. The doctor broke it, starting off at a gentle walk through the crowd. None could stop him, obviously, though not that they really tried. To his goodbye Shiver just shrugged and waved, speaking dryly, "I understand, thanks for showing me how to shoot and stuff. Stay safe." It was an abrupt end, but perhaps it had to do with his metal parts being revealed, Shiver could understand that. Watching him vanish into the trees, she then turned a glare on the bandits, who were looking terrified. Perhaps they'd realized she wasn't as weak as they'd thought. Instead of attacking however, Shiver just let them cower before hovering into the air and calling down to them. "I'm not in the mood for rampant slaughter, so I'll let you go. Do this again though...and you'll get whats coming to you. Also, buy a scouter you idiots." Huffing and shaking her head about how the day ended, Shiver took off proper, blasting off into the distance. Ah well, it had been interesting at least.
Exit, thread end
