Victory Party(Saber, Prythian)

[Mani4c]

Sergeant Alexi Petrovik was typing at his desk terminal, finishing up the last of his paperwork. Mani4c had planned for a party to celebrate the their victory against the Mega-corporations, and as such Alexi was trying to finish early so he and the other could, as Mary so eloquently put it, "Go to Reggie's and get fucking smashed." Alexi finished the report and sent it to Sam to sign off on. He killed the power to his desk terminal and leaned back, glad that the day was over. "Alexi, there you are!" Alexi looked over his shoulder and saw Mary, Erika, and Samuel walking over to him.

Samuel's clothing was far more civilian than what he was wearing when he arrived at the precinct a few weeks before, his terminal, which held Chakram was on his wrist. Due to the warm spring weather, he wasn't wearing his bomber jacket. Alexi stood up and gave the British officer a pat on the shoulder. "Good to see you Samuel, I take it that Mary invited you to our little bar run?" Samuel nodded, "Chakram's going to that party of Mani4c's, so I figured that I should tag along with you, and find the local watering hole while I'm at it." Erika walked up and hugged Alexi, he medication and therapy had been helping her immensely, and she was back to her normal chipper self for the most part. "It's good to see you after a long day Alexi, I forgot how much filing patrol report's sucks." Alexi just chuckled and hugged Erika back. "I feel your pain, come on, let's grab Kate and then we can go."

The group headed to Kate's office, they could hear two voices inside, one of them was Kate's, but the no one recognized the second voice. The only thing they could gather was that the second person spoke with a thick Dublin accent. "Another recruit from across the pond eh? And a Dubliner by the sounds of it, hope she doesn't mind London kicking Dublin's arse in the World Cup last week." Samuel's voice was tinged with amused sarcasm, he made it a well known fact that he hated soccer.

Meanwhile, Mani4c, Onimaru and Lilith were setting up the training section of the server, they had amassed a large amount of food for the avatars who could mimic eating, and had rigged the place with musical equipment, plenty of chairs, and even a dance floor. Though Mani4c had bigger plans for the evening, ones that only he and Lilith were privy to. "When are they going to show?" Mani4c finished setting up the last of the chairs and checked his internal clock. "They should be here soon, I know that Amaterasu is bringing the cyberblades with her. And Totenkopf's just getting off of patrol. Baretta and Saber should be showing up as well." Lilith nodded, "The Doctor said that he would try to drag Bit down here, but he couldn't promise anything."

[Saber]

The voice was definitely of Irish heritage, a young female standing in front of Kate's desk while Kate was looking through her transfer paperwork "Everything seems to check out, looks like you're an official part of the NY Net Ops, Miss Reid. I noticed you have a lack of a registered police avater or a terminal for that matter." The woman ran a hand through her hair, clicking her tongue when mention of no terminal came up "Blame the bollocks in Dublin for that. Wouldn't trust my arse with a PDA if my life depended on it. Apparently, I go through terminals like they're ex boyfriends." Kate raised her eyebrow when the woman started using crude language towards her former associates, as well as her comparison to how often she could hold onto a terminal "Well, Petra, unless you want to stick with offline assignments only, you'll need to get over that habit. I may be able to request a military grade terminal, that will be more durable and less likely to break down on you."

Petra's eyes started to shine excitedly when Kate offered to get her a long lasting terminal for her to use, eagerness plain as day on her face "You would do that for me? That'd be fantastic! I wanna do something for you in return, let me buy you a couple of drinks when you get off the clock, my treat!"

Baretta was the first to walk in, looking around and admiring the decorations with her arms crossed and her haed nodding in approval "Looks like I'm the first one to show up, you three did pretty good with the decorations."

[Mani4c]

Alexi decided to choose this moment to open the door to Kate's office. "Captain, we've finished up our work and ready to head to Reggie's." Alexi looked at Petra and waved, "Nice to meet you, I'm sergeant Petrovik, but you can call me Alexi." Mary, Erika and Samuel walked into the office. Samuel walked up and stared at Petra for a moment, he was silent for 30 seconds before speaking. "Dublin field office eh? Nice to meet you. Name's Samuel Vickers." Samuel offered Petra his hand. 

Mary on the other hand, was focused on Petra's...other features. "Damn, she's a looker ain't she?" Erika proceeded to grab Mary's ear and yank on it, eliciting a pained yelp from Mary. "Mary...darling, please stop staring at the new officer's rack...it's irritating." Mary nodded quickly, desperate to escape the iron grip of her smaller girlfriend. "Yeah, yeah...I got ya Erika." Erika nodded, "Good, if you're good, when we get home we can..." pulled Mary closer by the ear, smirking in a flirtatious manner and whispering something into Mary's ear, whatever she said brought a blush to Mary's face. "So behave yourself, no ogling without permission." Mary rubbed her ear. "Her permission or yours?" Erika just snickered, "Both of course."

Mani4c looked up and saw Baretta and jogged over to hug her. "Hey Baretta, thanks for coming!" Lilith smiled when Baretta mentioned the decorations. "Thanks Baretta, I thought that this place could use a woman's sense of style." Onimaru just pulled out a long jade tube filled with Sake, he pulled the cork out of the tube and tipped it back, taking a long drought from it. "Ah! Gotta love good Sake! Remind me to thank Masamune for this batch, he's got good taste."

[Saber]

Petra turned around and noticed the group of people eavesdropping on her conversation with Kate, each of them introducing themselves in their own unique way. Petra looked Alexi up and down, sizing him up and grinning "Nice to meet you too Big Bear. Name's Petra Reid." When Sam walked in with his period of silence before speaking, she started to snicker "Petra, and I see you're a bloke from Britain. Congrats on the world cup win."

Petra grinned when Mary started to gawk at her, folding her arms behind her back intentionally and looking at both Mary and Erika with a coy smile "No need for violence lass, I find it more flattering than irritating...You two act like a married couple, so I'm putting the first round betting that you are."

Baretta hugged Mani4c back, waiting for him to let go before walking over to Lilith "Well, it's certainly added that little bit of feng shui to the place." She noticed Onimaru tipping back a bottle of what looked to be a drink of some sort "Looks like one of us is already celebrating early."

[Mani4c]

Alexi smirked at the nickname Petra gave him and walked over to Kate. "So, any plans for when we get to the bar? Or are we just going to ruin our livers like any good cop who's sick of the daily grind?" Alexi had a sarcastic tone in his voice and a bemused smirk on his face, he seemed to be in a better mood than usual. "But at least tonight will be a fun learning experience...I get to see what Captain Kathryn Bale looks like shitfaced."

Alexi's smirk widened slightly, he was messing with Kate to try and wrestle a laugh out of her, recent events had made the need for some levity into a near requirement. As focused and well trained as they were, they had become wound so tight that they were all at risk of snapping if they didn't relieve some of the stress.

Sam just scoffed when Petra mentioned the world cup. "Tch, I was honestly hoping that Ireland would win, my flatmate was so bloody loud I almost beat the sodding fool unconscious, though if we did lose, he'd just bitch and moan. So honestly, I was bound to club him with that coffeepot eventually." Samuel's voice was completely level, making it difficult to tell if he was joking, the fact that his training made it easily possible for him to knock a man out with a coffeepot didn't help. Samuel let out a small huff and looked at Petra, his gaze seemed to be analytical, trying to take in every feature of Petra's face and commit it to memory. "So, what are you here for? Just looking for a change in scenery?"

Onimaru looked at Baretta when she mentioned his drinking, the Oni avatar took another swig and wiped his mouth. "Didn't you know? Oni's like their alcohol, especially red oni's like me." Onimaru's body suddenly flashed into a multitude of colors as his brothers, the Taros, appeared from within him. "Oy, and these guys cause a racket wherever they go..."

The Blue turtle avatar, known as Urataros, walked up to Baretta and took her hand in his gently. "Baretta-chan, you are looking ravishing as always." Urataros' voice was calm and confident, giving off the air of a Casanova. "May I suggest that we leave this deary place and have a night on the town? Just the two of us? I hear that there's a new nightclub that is simply divine." Urataros pulled a blue petaled rose seemingly from thing air and handed it to Baretta. "What do you say, Baretta-chan?" 

[Saber]

Kate gave Alexi a dull look when he said he was going to see Kate shit faced, getting out of her chair and placing her paperwork in a cabinet, along with the transfer paperwork from Petra "You all can enjoy the sauce as much as you want, but I'd prefer not to drink until I puke, thank you. I'll be taking it easy, and enjoying myself, just like last time...And hopefully this time we won't have another someone else coming after us in cold blood."

Petra smirked when Sam started talking about his flatmate being a hardcore fan of the game, and what happened when he didn't shut up "Honestly, I can't tell if you're joking or being serious, so I'll just take your word for it." When she noticed him staring at her and seemingly studying her, before asking about why she was here, she gave him a wink "Take a picture, sweety, it'll last longer than those mental images. Honestly, I got tired of my colleagues griping about me and decided to find a place where I won't be endlessly harassed about accidents on the job."

Baretta noticed the flashing lights of the Taros coming from Onimaru's body, not quite sure how to react when the turtle walked up and took her hand in his, and tried to play the romantic. Her instinct automatically went to drawing out one of her guns and pistol whipping Urataros in the face, wrenching her hand free and walking away "I prefer the company of people who are civil minded, NOT womanizers. Try it again and I'll fill your head with holes."

"Well said, Captain." Saber walked in, along with Katana, and the rest of the cyberblades, minus one of course. "So, when does this thing start?"

[Prythian]

"Well, the victims might be needed for that." Domain said as he walked into view in a doorway, having caught the last sentence. "There'd be no need for any sort of victory party without us, after all." He grinned as his helmet vanished, letting his spiky brown hair show. "Not that I couldn't have walked out of there at any point... but you did at least rescue one of us. And she's..."

"Oh, will you just move out of the way already?!" An impatient voice came from behind Domain. He gave a small smile, walked in, and stepped the side, waving an arm dramatically.

"Introducing our favorite copycat, new and improved! Well... by some definition, anyway." Domain was definitely in good humor tonight, as Mirror walked in. She was much taller now, and her hair had gotten enormous, growing all the way down to her legs. She grinned and twirled around, showing off her new body, much more like an adult than the child she'd been before. "Well?" She smiled, tilting her head. "What do you think?"

[Mani4c]

Alexi snickered at Kate's response and stood up. "Ah, you haven't had truly experienced alcohol until you drink so much you can't remember the night before!" Alexi's tone was dripping with sarcasm. "Anyway, let's get out of here before Mary has a nosebleed." Mary blushed and looked away, cursing at Alexi while just Erika smirked. "Let's head out guys, feel free to come along Petra, you owe us that first round anyways." Erika looked back at Petra as she left. "We're not married, well not yet anyways." Erika stepped out of the room and followed Mary to their car. 

Samuel smirked at Petra's remark and walked away, shooting her a mischievous look. "Well, welcome to the force, and I'll be happy to take some pictures later." Samuel chuckled and stepped out of the office.

Urataros rolled on the ground after Baretta pistol whipped him, Lilith helped him up off of the ground and brushed him off. "I am no womanizer madam! I am a romantic!" Kintaros simply sat down and nodded off waiting for the festivities to actually begin. Sieg walked up to Baretta and got down on one knee, taking her hand, though unlike Urataros, the gesture didn't seem to be intended as romantic. "Forgive me Hime-sama (Translation: Princess.) I should have stopped him before he laid a single lecherous hand upon you. It shall not happen again." Sieg lowered his head in a display of submission, seeing Baretta as above him in status.

When Mirror, Domain and The cyberblades entered the room, Ryutaros ran up to Mirror and nearly tackled her, hugging her tight and laughing. "Mirror-chan! You're so pretty!" Amaterasu simply smiled at Ryutaro's antics, she had grown to appreciate the child-like avatar. Chakram simply walked past the group and sat in a chair in the corner of the room, crossing his leg and trying to isolate himself. Ryutaros looked up at Katana and waved to her. "Hi Katana-chan! how're you today!?"

[Saber]

Kate rolled her eyes when Alexi sarcastically retorted to her comment about not wanting to get wasted, following Alexi out. Petra smirked when Erika mentioned that they weren't married yet, walking out and stepping with a little bit more stride than Erika and walking up to give Mary a swift pat on the butt. Not even pretending to acknowledge what she did, she walked up and put an arm around Sam, grinning mischievously "So, how much are you planning on drinking tonight, Sammy boy?"

Baretta was about to strike Sieg next when he took her hand, but his apologetic nature convinced her otherwise. She eased her hand from his hold and gave him a light smack upside the head "Make sure you stop him next time then. Now come on and get on your feet, you don't need to kneel on my behalf."

Katana waved when Ryutaro greeted her, smiling brightly "Heya Ryu! I'm doing great! Captain Bale finally agreed to let me have a human partner, so I may be able to strike out on my own and do good for the city!"

Saber grinned when Domain started commenting about needing victims for a victory party, and how he tried playing it off as he could have left whenever he wanted. But an almost familiar voice yelled at him from behind, and Saber's face started growing red as Domain stepped aside, seeing Mirror for the first time since he last saw her, looking older, more mature, and for some reason, something else that he couldn't quite describe. He walked over as she started twirling, not realizing that his face was still frozen with shock and embarrassment "Wow...you look amazing, I almost didn't recognize you! I guess that's why you didn't want me to see you until you were finished."

[Prythian]

Mirror sat there for just a moment as she was nearly knocked to the ground. "Thank you... really... but off. Please." She gave him a brief hug. "I've got other people to talk to as well, you know." Domain placed one hand on Ryutaros's shoulder, leaning down to whisper in his ear. "She wants to show off a bit."

Mirror glared at Domain. "I heard that!" And with that, she slipped out of Ryutaros's grasp and walked towards Saber, standing in front of him. "I can see that it worked. You seem stunned!" She gave a small smile at him. "If only you could see the look on your face... oh, wait, hold on. You can!" And with that, she turned into Saber, though with a gold-and-silver color scheme, imitating his look perfectly.

[Mani4c]

Erika glanced at Mary, who was trying to hide a blush because of Petra patting her on the rear. "You know, if you wanted to...I wouldn't mind sha-" Mary cut Erika off with a motion of her hand. "No! just...stop there alright? I'm still processing that..." Erika cocked an eyebrow before realizing what Mary's problem was. "You...you're not used to being hit on are you?" Mary sunk lower into her seat. "I'm used to being in control alright? I don't mind it with you because we're together, but when it's someone I don't know..." "You get flustered, I gotta say, I'm not used to seeing you like this." "It's embarrassing alright? I'm the one who's always so confident, and being embarrassed like that isn't very comfortable for me." Erika leaned back in the chair, "Did you not like the attention?" Mary shook her head. "No, and that's just it, I did like the attention. But I'm just not used to being the one being hit on is all." Erika nodded, "Well, get to know her and see what happens, if things go farther, I won't mind." Mary looked at Erika with a confused confession, she just smirked in a lewd manner. "Hey, you're not the only one who was appreciating the new arrival. I just want you guys to share is all." Mary laughed at that. "Deal, just follow your own advice alright?"

Samuel smiled when Petra asked how much he'd be drinking. "Not enough to get between you and Mary. Not that it matters, she's not just taken, she doesn't bat for my team if you catch my meaning." The rest of the officers exited the station, with Samuel and Petra being on time to hear the tail end of Mary and Erika's conversation. Samuel spoke quietly so they wouldn't know that they had heard. "Hey, I'm not against a roll in the hay once in a while. Hell I did more than I'd like to admit when I was in the service...but those two are special." Samuel's tone became cautionary. "I'm not saying that you're that kind of person, but if you want to hook up with one of them, or hell both of them...you treat them right got it? Because what they have is a beautiful thing, and I don't like seeing beautiful things destroyed."

Mani4c snickered at Saber's behavior, he walked up and put a arm around his shoulder. "Ah, puberty, it hits them so fast." He looked at Mirror and hugged her. "You look great Mirror! You're gonna knock 'em dead in more ways than one now." Amaterasu nodded as she approached, "I agree, and if it's enough to render my cool headed son speechless, well, that's a successful makeover in my book."

When Katana told Ryutaros that she had a partner, he cheered. "Awesome! I'm happy for you Katana-chan!" Ryutaros looked over at Claymore. "Do you have an operator yet Claymore-kun?" Claymore smiled and shook his head. "Not yet Ryu, but there are a few people applying to be my operator. An older gentleman has piqued my interest. He's from the same country as Officer Vickers, but he's a bit older." Ryutaros nodded. "Cool! Katana, can you, Mirror and Ammy-sama come over with me for a bit? I want to draw you guys!"

Ryutaros had a love for many things, but the only things that could even hope to compete with his friends was music and drawing. "I got new pencils, paper and everything! Erika-Nēchan gave them to me for helping with her work today."

[Saber]

Petra grinned when Sam mentioned not getting between herself and Mary, giving him a sly look as they walked out of the precinct "Well, british, I happen to be more of a switch hitter than play on a single team, so don't count your chickens before they hatch!" When Sam warned her about those two, and telling her to treat them right, she just grinned "Trust me, I treat anyone who catches my eye right, and I never do anything to get between a relationship. We Irish are all about marriage and eternal lovers, but we also know how to have a good time!"

Saber snapped out of his state long enough to see the look on his own face when Mirror copied him, which was now in a gold and silver motif, but still showed him exactly how dumbfounded he looked. He snickered a bit, struggling to keep it in, until he started laughing uncontrollably at his own silly expression "Hahaha! I look ridiculous!" He finally managed to calm himself down again, taking a few deep breaths while attempting to control himself. Letting out a deep sigh, he straightened himself and smiled at Mirror "Honestly Mirror, stunned probably doesn't begin to describe it. The new you really is a great change, you've come a long way to make your own identity. Hopefully someday, you'll be just as complete as your sister was before...Well, you know." He tried not to go into detail, not wanting to dredge up bad memories during such a lighthearted event.

When Mani4c walked over and started teasing him, he gave the viral avatar a dark glare, his face turning red again from embarrassment when Amaterasu joined in as well...Yet he couldn't understand why he was getting so embarrassed around everyone. Clearing his throat, he turned towards the others, looking back at Mirror and Domain "I think we've kept you two long enough, how about we escort the guests of honor to the rest of the partygoers, hmm?"

Katana beamed when Ryutaros congratulated her on finally getting a human partner, looking like she had won a gold medal. She noticed Ryutaros wanted to draw herself, Amaterasu, and Mirror and smiled "sure! Let me go get Mirror and My mom!" She started jogging over towards Saber, and the others when she finished, hurrying to get over to them for the sketch.

[Prythian]

"Wellll... okay. If you say so." Mirror said to Saber, changing back to her own self. She was fairly certain that her aim was clear to at least Mani4c, but Saber still had no clue. And if he figured out the game before she reached the end, well, that just meant he'd be able to actually score a few points himself. Domain smiled. He knew exactly what his sister was up to. "We can all get together without any more delay." He said, nodding approvingly. "Let's all actually be in one place instead of spread out." He glanced toward Chakram in his isolation. "That includes you." He said, loudly enough for Chakram to hear him. "If I have to interact with everyone, so do you."

[Mani4c]

Samuel let go of Petra and got into the car. "Alright then, let go get something to drink." Alexi and Kate exited the Precinct and got into the car as well, leaving a spot for Petra...right between Erika and Mary. "This'll be interesting..." Alexi repressed his urge to laugh, this situation was comedy gold. "Hop on in Petra, we've got just enough room for ya!"

Mani4c hid his smirk from Saber, he knew what Mirror was up to and the potential for embarrassment was hilarious to him. Chakram let out an annoyed scoff, he hated dealing with people, it was more comfortable to simply observe. He muttered his response under his breath. "Very well." Onimaru simply sat back and continued to drink his Sake. He looked over to Domain and raised his tube, offering the drink to the large terraformer. "You want some of this? It tastes pretty good, can't get drunk though..."

[Saber]

Petra grinned and hopped into the middle of the seat, leaning back and resting her arms on the back of the car seat. As Mary and Erika sat down, all she needed to do was shift her arms a bit, and they'd be around the two women's shoulders. But she decided to leave them on the seat for now, crossing her legs while giving Alexi a wink "C'mon, Big Bear. It's party time and we're losing daylight here!" Crossing her legs, she gave Erika and Mary a grin "So, any thoughts of what to drink first ladies a gents? I'm thinking of starting this thing off with a white russian."

Baretta decided to send the doctor a message, checking in with him and the others from R&D while everyone was chatting <Hey doctor, what's the head count we'll be expecting for the party with R&D?>

Saber was leading Mirror, Domain, and the others back to the rest of the group, when Katana jogged past him and leapt up to give Mirror a hug "Mirror! Ryutaros wants to draw you, me and mom. And I found a cool 3-woman pose online we could use, Let's go!" She let go of Mirror and took her hand, tugging it gently to try and lead her over to Amaterasu and Ryutaros, grinning excitedly "Saber's changed a lot since that virus that got into his body. He seems a lot more human now, like Mani4c is." She giggled mischievously "I've thought of asking him what happened to try and make myself more human, to know how they feel emotion. But I know mom is gonna scold me if I try."

When Onimaru offered Domain some of his sake, saying it tastes good, but doesn't cause drunkenness, he walked over and patted Onimaru on the shoulder "Well, if he doesn't want any, I'll give it a shot."

[Prythian]

Domain smiled and held up a hand at Onimaru. "Can't." He replied. "Not a function I have. Doesn't seem to run in the family, so to speak. Don't worry, Saber, it's all yours. So..." He gave a sly grin at Saber. "I hear from Mirror that you've joined those of us with some more volatile emotions. Having been someone without them... how's the difference? I can't really do any comparisons, and Mirror says she can't get enough of a grip on the personalities of normal avatars enough to explain it to me."

Mirror went along with Katana, smiling gently at her. "It's a little difficult to explain anyway. As far as I can tell, all of the AUGMENTs I've seen have the same kind of human emotions, including me. I don't think you can get it unless you have it, if that makes sense."

[Mani4c]

Alexi rolled his eyes at Petra's remark. "Cute, I'm staying single for the time being, we have enough people hooking up as it is." Erika rolled with the joke, putting her hands behind her head as Kate started the engine and started off towards Reggie's bar. "I'd be careful Petra, I don't know many people who could "Handle" Alexi, I bet even Kate would be in for a tough time." Alexi started banging his head on the back of the seat, trying to resist the urge to throttle Erika. He looked at Kate. "Please, make them stop, I beg of you." Samuel simply smirked at the exchange and fiddled with his terminal's settings, getting used to having an avatar on board.

The Doctor responded to the call, the sounds of a struggle could be heard over the comm line. <We'll be by in a tic! Bit's being a tad difficult.> The sound of something smashing could be heard next. <OW! Bloody hell, an Erlenmeyer Flask!? REALLY!?> the connection cut out and Mani4c laughed hysterically, glad that he wasn't the one on Bit's bad side for a change. Meanwhile, Onimaru shrugged and handed Saber the Sake tube, "Enjoy."

Amaterasu walked next to Katana when she mentioned trying to ask Saber how he became more emotional, as well as possibly replicating it. "You're darn right I would! You'd be lucky to get out of that with a spanking young lady!" Amaterasu's voice was stern, but not abusive, and her expression returned to it's normal serene state. "Now then, what's this cool pose I heard you talking about?"

[Saber]

Petra grinned as Erika started rolling with the joke, giggling mischievously "Oh, don't worry about me, hon, I enjoy a challenge." Kate sighed and rolled her eyes as Alexi was starting to beg her for help, getting a bit fed up with it herself in the cramped space "Alright, knock off the grab ass, both of you. Unless you three would prefer to take a cab the rest of the way." Petra smirked and glanced at Erika and Mary, silently laughing "Sorry Cap."

Baretta sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. Bit was always the isolated one, but everyone insisted that she be a part of this, since she was such a big help bringing everyone else back. She gave Mani4c a death glare when he started laughing hysterically, walking over and slapping him in the back of his head "Knock it off."

Katana flinched when Amaterasu caught her talking about wanting to recreate what happened to Saber to be more human "...Busted..." Then, Amaterasu pulled a subject change, asking her about the pose she was thinking of, thankful she decided not to keep pressing the subject. "Well, it's something I found in the archives of the datascape, when I was randomly going through pictures of heroines in media history." Pulling out an old picture in somewhat decent quality, it showed a trio of girls in mock battle poses "I thought of how it would work too! I could be the one holding the two swords on the left, Mirror, you would be the one in the middle. We could ask Baretta if she would lend you her pistols. And mom, you would be the one holding the single sword on the right. we might even be able to get Onimaru or Saber to lend you a sword for this!"

Saber took the flask of sake and took a swig, nodding in approval. When Domain asked him what it felt like having more human-like emotions, compared to his old simulated ones, thinking about it for a while "...It's...Hard to say...Before Noxus' virus changed me, my emotional matrix was fairly simple. I knew how I was supposed to react, given social or verbal queues, and I would act accordingly for them...But now, it's like everything comes naturally to me, and I feel emotions without even realizing what emotions I'm feeling at the time." He chuckled softly, finding some irony in what he said "It's funny. Noxus was always going on about wanting to find some way to evolve avatars beyond what they were, and the fight we had forced me to become more human than avatar...emotionally, anyway." He offered the flask to Domain, shaking it idly "You sure you don't want to give it a try? Just because it's not part of our functionality, doesn't mean we can't experiment with new things, right?"

[Prythian]

Mirror grinned. "Actually, we'd only need one pistol." She held up a hand and a De-rez pistol appeared in it. "Back when they first gave me any cosmetic data at all, I was given this and a Cyberspeeder just in case. Never really had to use it except in a few instances of training, since copying others is a lot more powerful. But yeah, all I'd need is one more."

Domain raised an eyebrow at Saber. "If it's fun enough for you to offer it to me after the first time, I suppose at some point I should look into getting a modification for it. But not today, thanks. Today I just want to sit back and let Mirror steal the show. She's the more social of the two of us, in any case. ...I suppose I should say the five of us, but I didn't really pay attention to the reformatted Amplify, and I have no idea what the fifth AUGMENT is like anyway..." He smiled to himself. "...It might have been nice had we known how to react in social situations from the start. I don't think I'd give up these more natural emotions for that, though."

[Mani4c]

It took about 5 minutes for Mary to reach Reggie's bar, when the group got there, Alexi held the door for Kate and quickly put as much distance between him and Petra as possible. Reggie was polishing a glass with a clean rag when the group entered, he smiled and waved to the group. "Mary, Erika! Good to see you two, and Kate as well!" Mary walked up to Reggie and gave him a hug, "Reggie! good to see you're up and about you big Irish bastard!" Reggie chuckled and pulled down his shirt to reveal a circular scar the size of an old dollar coin, a reminder of when he had been shot by the cyborg sent to kill Kate months before. "Well, you can't keep a good bartender down I always say." Reggie noticed Petra and gestured towards her, "Ah! a new friend eh? Pleasure to meet you Miss, the Name's Reggie MccReady." 

Samuel walked in and sat next to Alexi, folding his hands together and looking at the older man. "Not a fan of flirting I see?" Alexi shot Samuel a dirty look for a moment before looking back at the selection of alcohol that Reggie had, it was...eclectic, to say the very least. "Oh you noticed did you? Was it that obvious?" Samuel rolled his eyes at the sarcastic response, apparently Alexi wasn't a fan of being hit on. "Well, at least you have the interest in a pretty woman, that's gotta count fo-" Alexi cut him off with an irritated tone. "A woman who, A: I barely fucking know, and B: Is SIX years younger than me.
