UNBEARABLE
| Ursa's PL: 50,000 | Items: None
While at first, it seemed to be a constant that Ursa would find a way to slip out of Pepper's lab or bag and wander off into danger, such occurrences had been becoming rarer and rarer as time passed and the human adjusted to the Plexbit's tactics and methods of escape. She could hardly peek out of her carrier satchel without Pepper knowing. Yet this time be it by chance or skill, the bootleg android had managed to slip away into Satan City at large. "Honestly, Mother worries about me far too much! I am not a simple cub anymore." Pausing to look down at her own body, Ursa thought for a moment. "In body perhaps, but not spirit! I am a free bear, and I will make sure to locate and secure anything that could be of use in upgrading me." It had been more than a long while since Ursa's last major update, and the Plexbit felt it in her circuitry that another one was due soon.
"Maybe I could even help mother convince the Crop Co. people to make me HUGE like that one cat." LEO was her name, not that the android remembered it. She did remember the sheer size of that unit and how the feline scooped her up by the scruff in humiliation. Harrumph! That bot would be sorry once Ursa got her hands on some proper upgrade material and became big and strong. Though at the moment, skirting the alleyways and rooftops of Satan City wasn't a very productive task on that end. "Mother will probably be upset at me absence again... maybe I should get some of her favorite candy." Yes, that might work. Pepper had a known weakness to chocolate that Ursa, of course, discovered. The only problem was "legally" acquiring the sweets, but that was for later. Now was the time to locate the treat! Bouncing along at a hurried pace, Ursa now paid no mind to the sudden startled looks the humans were giving her as she bolted through the streets, intent on locating a store that stocked her sought-after sweet. |

Current PL: 53,000Once she had finished her encounter with that, rather surprising, Mortal, Zriracha had decided to let out habit die hard and fall back on her Glamour. Dressed to impress as the disguised ‘Zira’ – businesswoman known only for her prowess in ‘retail appraisal’, the Demon had made her way through the city with a breath of relief and a weight off her shoulders. Yes, she knew that Polarus was right in that she shouldn’t have to hide herself… but the looks and blatant rudeness from admittedly few mortals still bothered her. After recalling her time in the candy forest where she’d met a certain Majin, Zriracha had been curious to see if there were other candies that weren’t similar to performative art pieces. Something actually hand-crafted and meant to be eaten. Such desires had led her to a local candy shop that boasted of ‘hand-crafted chocolate’ and ‘home-mixed taffy’. Standing outside of the small shop as others came and went about their business, ‘Zira’ was contemplating whether she had the stomach for more sweets are her experience in the forest. Should I… look for another sandwich shop instead? Ugh, no! I do not balk from my inner desires! Only… question them… She sighed, shaking her head at her own inner turmoil based ridiculously on if she should ENTER a store. Dispelling her uncertainty, ‘Zira’ sauntered forward and pulled open the door – glancing back to see if anyone else was coming in – before entering. Already, she could tell that the inside was very similar to the forest as it looked less like a simple shop and more like a rainbow puked it’s guts up on the walls and various tubs of confections. Her stomach lurched, the disguised Demon swallowed harshly to keep the contents of her stomach at bay, “I think this was a mistake…” She muttered, taking a step back to attempt to leave the store again. Turning around, ‘Zira’ eyes would catch sight of a most… unusual creature running through the streets. She blinked, narrowing her eyes a moment later before she cocking her head to the side, mumbling, "Is that a… toy?" Though she recalled seeing something similar in a park back in Central City in the form of little animals. Was this… the same thing? Pepper |

With his recent battle's Reno had realized he was running dangerously low on uniforms, his normal white robes where in quite a sad state now days. He needed something that was a little bit more sturdy and make him not stick out like sore thumb, It would also help if the next time Aurora was awake she did not see him in torn and burnt clothes. The last thing anyone wanted to do when waking up on a hospital bed would be to see a friend in bad shape and considering the condition of her heart already it was even more imperative that he look like everything was fine, at least as far as his health was concerned. He knew he had quite a bit of time to kill before they would let her wake up, something about the induced coma being good for the healing process. So here he was at some brand store the staff had suggested looking for a new set of threads in order to keep his mind off of things and driving the poor store clerk made in the process. He knew she was doing her best at keeping up with his demands for something sturdy and at least some what stylish, at least as far as Reno's poor sense of fashion was concerned. They eventually settled on a matching set of black leather jeans and a leather vest covered in durable straps over the zipper, the sturdy clothes left him with a lot of movement and allowed him to blend in a lot better then his old set of white robes. After what seemed like a hour or so Reno finally left the store after getting a few spare sets for the moment and ordering a large batch of the same set to be delivered to him at a later date.
It was only after he left the store that noticed the odd little robot bear walking down the street, the small machine looked awfully similar to the plex bots he had seen working on repairing ginger town. Although this one looked different at the same time their was no way to deny that this little guy was of the similar make as the ones he had seen, not even Reno's inability to use technology could excuse such a noticeable resemblance. It was only after watching it some more that he realized the thing was wondering around randomly, the Plex bot looking at everything in sight as it passed by it. Rather then let it wonder Reno wondered up behind it before speaking "Lost little guy? Capsule corps is this way if that is what your looking for.", his voice steady and reassuring in a attempt to keep the little bot calm. His last interactions with them had been more of the stop that they don't like that. Rather then cause a scene it was perhaps best to bring this back to capsule corps and to Carro as soon as he could, they were treating Aurora after all and it was the least he could in return.

"Gah!" Ursa spun around, pointing her stump at the sudden voice only to realize it was just some human guy. "Hello, random citizen! I am not in search of Capsule Corp. I seek confectionaires instead, to bring back to mother to appease her wrath for me sneaking off again." It was lucky that Pepper had installed a translator on Ursa's vocal box after the science fair so that the Plexbit was capable of selectively speaking in a garbled language one only with experience could understand, or just in common as she was doing now. Studying Reno with a careful eye, Ursa came to a conclusion. "You look pretty weird, mister." It was true! This guy was dressed way differently than everybody else around them. "Are you an Alien or something? Nah probably not you see pretty human to me." The second best option then came to mind! "AH! I get it, you're like some sort of warrior or something right? Fighting people always dress super weirdly for some reason, as if they want to stand out despite being all like 'no this is normal clothes' but then I tell them no that isn't normal, normal is what mother wears because that's actually normal unlike you."
Pausing, Ursa glanced past Reno to see the exact type of place she was looking for. "A-ha! I've found it! A store specializing in the sale of candied and sweetened goods!" Literally bouncing past the man, Ursa bolted through the front door, and in her haste didn't check to see if her route was clear. The woman inside the shop, unknown to Ursa as Zira, would now easily see the tiny robo-bear hurtling straight towards her face! Hit or miss, Ursa would drop to the floor moments later, staring straight up at the lady. "Whoopsies, it seemed my trajectory wasn't fully calculated. Apologies weirdo!" Stopping for a moment, Ursa put a stump up to her chin in thought. "Hey wait a second. If I want to legally get candy I need MONEY. NOOOOO!" Lamenting her loss, Ursa flopped to the ground. "I don't have an allowance yet! How am I supposed to procure the necessary funds to purchase the product I had intended on retrieving as a gift for mother!?" It was then that a possible idea came to the bear, a zeni coin from whereabouts unknown laying across her on the floor underneath a counter, forgotten. "Hmmm..." Ursa murmured quietly.

Inside the candy shop, merely feet from the entrance, ‘Zira’ was taking in the apparent conversation that was taking place. The expression on the passerby’s face was concerned, possibly attempting to help the… strange plexbit to find it’s way back to where it came from. The small bear seemed to be animatedly speaking, however and it elicited a confused smile from the Demon, cocking her head to the side as she took in the odd gestures in which they spoke. Concentrating with her auditory senses, ‘Zira’ could just barely hear the conversation taking place, catching the tail-end as the bear spoke of the odd way fighters dressed. She tapped her chin, suddenly in thought as she processed that. They have a point. Why do we dress in Gis and run around like it’s normal? It clearly isn’t, though I am not any example of normal… The sound of the bear’s voice had the Demon pause, looking up just in time to give a cry of surprise when the robot bounced off her face and then onto the floor. “O-Ow…” ‘Zira’ winced, a mark on her forehead where the metal made contact. She glanced down at the plexbit as they apologized, though she gave a sharp gasp at being called a ‘weirdo’, hand coming up to her chest in offense. She looked back at the passerby that the bear had spoken to and give a confused shrug before looking back down, conflicted on whether she should teach the toy a lesson or leave well enough alone. It was their little tantrum that had ‘Zira’ expression soften, sighing when she felt her heart strings get tugged. “Look, if you need assistance with something, you only have to ask. Honestly, it’s as if you weren’t taught any manners at all…” Patience and generosity tested, ‘Zira’ would attempt to lean down and pick up the plexbit to look it over. “Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”

To say he was surprised when the little bot became animated was a understatement, the wide range of behavior that the little bear was showing he had only seen Carro make with the lesser bots being far more subdued in their behavior. Most of the bots he had made also did not talk really, the small clicks and noses they made were difficult to understand and often their gestures where their main way to communicate as well. But for all the wonders the little machine had going for it the little bear seemed to lack basic common sense or at least any subtly as it announced that it had sneaked out with out its owners permission aloud. He was not sure if he should go find its owner or just take it back with him, the small machine might look weak but Carro's might at the mountain proved that this little robots had more going for them then met the eye.
Deciding it was best to simply heard it back to its owner he took two steps closer to the small bear before announcing his attention "Look little g....", his sentence stopping midway as the bears comment on his new clothes. His eyes turning down to his clothes as he tired to find out just what the small bear was talking about, they were not strange right? He was sure he had picked one of the newest fashions, one of the ones the girl at the counter had said that was up in coming and sure to catch on soon. Perhaps the small bear was as bad with fashion as he was, the idea the small machine could be right did more then worry the ginger as he stood dumbfounded, the bear using the chance to get away form him.
Coming out of his stupor just in time to see the little bear hit the woman leaving the shop made Reno cringe, the sound of metal hitting bone echoing though the small space as he rushed forward to see if the woman was alright. He was quite surprised that the woman was alright but he guessed the bear must not have weighed much, most earthlings would have likely gotten hurt by having such a object hit them like that. She must have been lucky he thought as he moved forward to hear her offer to help the little bot, the woman more tolerance then he would have had in such a situation. Still placating the small bot first might be a good idea so he let the woman try her luck with the small machine.

URSA's PL: 200,000 (x4T Overdrive: EX) | URSA's KP: 7/7
"STRANGER DANGER!" Ursa shrieked, deftly avoiding Zriracha's grasping hands by bouncing out of the way entirely. "Don't touch the merchandise without asking, buddy! ...Hey, WAIT A MINUTE! I know you! You're that fake teacher! Do you think it's funny to pull pranks like that on people, scoundrel? Cause, sometimes it is, but even when it is hilarious it isn't like a good thing to do!" Harrumphing, the Plexbit moved to pick up the stray coin she'd seen, paw magnetizing the metal money before depositing it straight into a hatch on her torso. Ursa wasn't entirely sure how to count money but was aware that coins weren't generally big amounts of it. Tutting, Ursa let out an overly dramatic sigh. "I swear! People these days are all just weirdos. First, Mr redhead outside, and now you. I might be inclined to forgive you if you assist in my journey to acquire payment for a chocolate bar."
Bolting back out the door, Ursa paused, only to leap straight up and in front of Reno's face to deliver a world-shattering boop directly on his nose. "Consider this the mark of a nemesis, nerd!" She shouted mid-booping. "You should be honored! The last one I did this too was an overly short Saiyan man!" Of course, to be absolutely sure her manuever would land, the Plexbit tapped into her power supply, power spiking rapidly as the purple bits of her body began glowing much brighter. Hit or miss, the android would roll away afterward from the human to begin bouncing down the street, stopping only to gather a loose coin here and there. "You'll never take me alive, nerds!" Ursa shouted back at the two. "I am the pinnacle of small robot engineering, so give up while your dignity is still mostly in-tact!" |

‘Zira’ flinched back at the shriek, surprised by not only the words but also the fact that this one had seemingly recognized her from somewhere. The more they described where they had seen her from, the more Zriracha realized where she’d remembered the little bear from. Oh no, not this again, She thought with a sigh, bringing a hand up to pinch the bridge of her nose. While the bear was right that it was typically not nice to deceive people, Zriracha wasn’t exactly here to cause mischief and mayhem… though, at the rate that this little thing was getting on her nerves, she was very tempted. At the ultimatum to help the bear, ‘Zira’ rolled her eyes but responded positively, “I don’t see why n-” Her words were cut short but the bear rushing off to… ‘attack’-? The other human before rushing off with the declaration that they’d never catch her. Her brows furrowed in deep confusion, struggling to keep up with the speed that was the strange plexbit. She crossed the distance of a few passes to the Human and held up her hands placatingly to silently ask to see their nose, “Did that hurt?” She asked tentatively. “I am Zira, by the way; well,” She made a gesture with her hands that was somewhat like a shrug, “You may call me Zira for now. I am not in the habit of revealing myself to mortals,” She’d explain later, if he had questions. She glanced back outside before speaking playfully, “Care to try and catch a robot or would you like to sit this one out? I wouldn’t blame you if this is a bit strange to you,” His power was impressive, obviously a powerful warrior of some background, but that didn’t necessarily translate to someone willing to go a wild bear chase. “You could say I’m used to the strange of this planet by now,” She delivered with a sly little grin, looking back in the direction of the bar before walking outside. Hopefully, with them still in view, she could call out. “Wait! How am I supposed to give you this money if you run off?!” As if on que, Zriracha would hold up a hand and – with a soft poof – a stack of bill would appear in her hand as she waved it around. Reno |

It had been fairly entertaining to watch the exchange between the woman and small bear, Its strange behavior bringing a smile to his face in much the same way a small child might with their antics. With a smile still on his face he nearly missed the bears's cries about the woman in front of him, its cries about her being a fake teacher made him wonder just what the bear was talking about. Reno could feel some thing was off but before he could put his finger on it the bear gave a shriek and jumped at him, the small paw striking him across the nose as he held still in surprise. Reno was normally very fast but he had not been expecting a strike against him for any reason and the bear's switching to its full speed was more then enough catch him off guard as he took several steps back in shock, the power behind strike had been quite weak but it was still enough to make him clutch his noise for a moment. The taste of blood filled his mouth every so slightly as he checked if he was bleeding, his hands coming off clean when he looked at him.
He was still absorbed in checking himself he did not notice the woman approach him, his hands coming up in a quick fighting stance for a moment as the woman came into view. However after a moment he realized it was not the bear and he quickly dropped the stance a bit embarrassed, the red head giving up a small smile as he looked unhurt form the bear's boop. It was not until she spoke the word mortal that the warning bells went off for him, his past experience with devils and goods putting him on edge all over again. " No I am alright and you can call me Reno ......shinjin?" Reno replied after a long moment his words still unsteady as he tried to figure out just what he was dealing with, his eyes roaming in as silly attempt to see just what he was dealing with. Finally deciding if the immortal in front of him had meant him harm it would of already done so as he gave a weak smile and a small nod.
"I guess I can help as I have nothing more to do at the moment and capsule corp has been doing a lot to help a friend of mine." He agreed after another moment of silence, his head tilting to the side as he worked out just what he planned to do here. It was not until she held up the money he realized that perhaps bribes might be better then chasing after the crazy machine, a chase that might not really be worth all the effort to catch a small wayward robot. Maybe he should go and find the owner perhaps, he doubted they where far if they noticed the bears escape but maybe not. Regardless this time he would be ready if the bear decided to attack him again, he was not gonna get hit twice form a teddy bear.
