Noise
It starts as just irritation. A metaphorical crawling under your skin. Things are too noisy, too bright, there is too much happening all the time and you can't take it all in-
It sounds so inviting, a freedom from the noise, but its wrong, its wrong, its wrong and the noise is getting louder, mechanical and foreboding as it sees you, it knows you are there, and it wants to make you apart of it.
For a moment, there is quiet.
You breathe.
And fall through water.

Then silence it, make it yours, make it you, take control and destroy what will not submit

Re: Training Room
[She'll select a sword for this job! Doesn't want to accidentally harvest this box for crafting material. Besides, maybe she can use the sword later.]
Re: Training Room
[She starts to try and cut the seam-]
[Which is enough to allow the box to break open in energetic red burst as suddenly there is a red light construct of Raph there.]
Donnie, stop using Kraang stuff! [And he is Very Concerned]
Re: Training Room
Re: Training Room
[Pokes Raph to confirm.]
Re: Training Room
[She can poke. He is a Very Solid Presence.]
You know what a hologram is, Raph.
Raph don't usually get accused of being one!
Re: Training Room
[Shakes her head.]
Okay, I don’t think we have time for a full family argument. Raph, I’m. . .starting to think he’s got a point, here.
Re: Training Room
Or a splinter mental manifestation. I haven't determined it.
Do you know what the Kraang are?
Re: Training Room
[Glancing between them.]
I've been muddling through but - I don't really know, no.
Re: Training Room
I have it HANDLED, Raphela.
You're growing real tentacles!
Re: Training Room
[WELL OKAY. Raph knows how to shift opinions.]
I don't like the sound of that. A conquering hivemind? That sort of thing usually spirals out of control, fast.
Re: Training Room
Tell Raph you hear what's wrong with that? [He looks at Aloy with the most fretful big brother look.]
Re: Training Room
She’ll step in close to Ralph, and lower her voice.]
What then, though? A purge protocol of some kind? Wipe the data in his systems?
Re: Training Room
You holding the chain is actually helping keep Protection here under control, but Mind Raph is pretty sure you can't stay.
Re: Training Room
[Big frown.]
Find a place to confine him? [Cask of Amontillado a turtle.] Or cut the chain at the base, and tether him to me.
Re: Training Room
Clones who act as twins.
Oh, a Leo and Donnie situation. [Nod nod.] You probably shouldn't talk about her like she's you? That can't be good for like. Identity stuff.
But Protection can't leave the room and he usually has a leash. Its just our leash holder is out of commission.
Re: Training Room
[Yeah, probably not healthy.]
The leash holder wouldn’t happen to be a man who used to caution you to get back to the sewers?
Re: Training Room
[Confused look.] Oh! That's dad. No. Well, a bit?
He's got strong influence in one of the rooms.
Selfishness and Relations usually act as the leash, but those will be like. Donnie shaped.
Re: Training Room
Your father - it sounded like he was careful.
We talked about cost - so Selfishness is probably the higher priority. But Relations sounds like he might be easier to talk to.
Re: Training Room
And yeah, pops was. We couldn't go live with the yokai because Big Mama and Draxum wanted him and us, and we definitely couldn't live with humans without them wanting to make us experiments. So he did what he could to take care of us on his own.
He...he worked really hard to try and be good for us. [Rubs the back of his neck.] Raph did what he could to help.
Relations also has Mikey whose a lot better at this mental stuff. I'm not sure all that's going on in Selfishness, except he's out of commission and he's usually one of the stronger voices.
Re: Training Room
That’s it, then. Let’s get Relations back into play. That should cover what we need for now.
Re: Training Room
Its a good step one. Did you figure out how to make the doors yet?
Re: Training Room
I had Shelldon and PSDD to establish a connection. Is that what you mean?
Re: Training Room
You make a door and throw an emotion or memory at it and it makes a doorway.
Re: Training Room
Let me get a weapon, and then I know the right memory for relations.
Re: Training Room
Got it.
Be careful of tentacles. Metal arms are fine, but all tentacles are super bad.
