Hel slipped out of the Corridor of Darkness, and into the alleyway, checking each side quickly to make sure she wasn't spotted. Sure, she didn't have anything to worry about while using the corridors, but it would be trouble if she was spotted casually using them without some form of protection. The coast clear, she stepped confidently out into the street, as though she had every right to be there as any other person on the street. Not that there were many; The Heartless had hit this world just as hard, if not harder, than Traverse Town. Squinting under the light in the sky...they called it a sun, right?...she found what she was looking for; the Fountain Plaza. Stepping up to the Fountain in question, she leaned on the railing, looking at it, again pretending like she belonged there. From here she could watch the city at work, and determine the flow of traffic; where most residents came from, what times were busiest, where the guards were thickest. This was her first day getting intel on the place, but she intended to learn the patterns of several hotspots throughout the world, so that she could better hunt down any Heartless nests that remained. Lost in thought, Hel spoke under her breath. "Why couldn't they just be in a territory war? It's so much easier to fight your opponent when you know where to find them..." But she couldn't just take the easy fights; There were too many people counting on her. So she watched the sparse crowds, pretending to be enjoying the view of the fountain. She hoped no one would notice the young woman leaning on the rail and make a scene...It would throw all her data from that point off... (OOC: Totally ruin her data for the day, please! )

It has been as of 72 hours since lost of creator, Harium Sani, to the unknown data "terrible fate". The long white hair girl walked up to the town, everything unclear to her memory data. Any of current landmarks were not from past or present, current situation computed best course of action was to find new data. Best method to gather data was to ask current residency, such in case, best residents were not currently occupied. Scanning the surrounding area, a girl with short choppy yellow hair, leaning on railing of water fountain came up best humanoid to ask.
The AI readings had missed an important factor of the girl, her internal readings, the girl did not want to be bothered. That she was in fact busy, preoccupied with a higher objective at hand, something that showed the deterioration within the android internal computer systems.
Slowly the systematic Giftia 2.0 approached the girl, her bodily movement closely mimicking an average human. Something her creator was aiming to perfect, along with all his other creations, it was what people enjoyed in their world's current era. Something that she, a creation, would never comprehend or understand.
Drawing nearer to the girl's left, she gave a low bow, making her position not of danger. A program designed to mimic her world's customs, representation of lower underdog to the alpha dog, she was beneath this humanoid. "Madam, I am Giftia 2.0 named "Program Eliza". I am inquired to ask you for current data on this current location, current location of creator, and reasoning upon creator's disappearance. Would you mind taking your time to answer the questions that I will propose to you?" She paused waiting for response from the humanoid, still in bow position hair covering face.
If current humanoid was to respond negatively, she was required by programming to leave the said subject alone. This however was an emergency, chances are if current occupant decline her, she may take drastic measures. Internal Laws prevented her from harming the girl, but she was still allowed to ask the girl repeatedly till correct response was given. It was something she herself felt was imperative for the protection of her current Master and creator, it came before anything else. This idea also came cross due to flaw within her systems, that was more of a perfection, something she was unaware of.

Hel watched as a woman dressed in blue walked up to the fountain, bowed to her really deeply, and began asking questions...she was inquired to ask her...what? This woman wanted her data? How had she known!?!
Hel quickly looked around, trying to find this woman's boss. Was she really that obvious? But no, it seemed they were alone. There was the couple who were down the street a ways, but they walked like someone who hadn't slept in too long...and they were going the wrong way to be watching her. So this girl was operating independantly? Either she was more powerful than she looked, or they had underestimated her...of course, she didn't know how people of this world approached violence. Perhaps they had a warrior...class? that wasn't the right word, but her education had been bad BEFORE she forgot most of it...
The woman had continued talking while Hel looked around; Something about a missing creator? She should have been listening better, but she had been expecting an attack.
"What did you say your name was? Eliza, right? Ok, Eliza. I'll share my data, but only if you share yours; where are the heartless of this world hiding? I know they've attacked before, and I have no doubts that they are still here, so where are they?" Hel crossed her arms defensively, while drawing a dagger from the back of her belt secretly; it wouldn't be visible unless the strange woman got behind her, and there was a fountain rail preventing that. "And while we're on the subject of hidden things, who sent you here? Are you an authority, or are you a member of some fringe group?" Hel hated revealing how little she actually knew, but she figured if the continued to treat her as a non-threat, she'd have ample opportunity to prove them wrong when it came time to.
She didn't want to make a bad impression with the locals; poor authorities be damned, her targets were the Heartless nests in the area. But she wasn't about to let this overconfident...attack? Again, she didn't know the word for it. This...threat. Showing her they knew and didn't care if she knew they knew. She was ready to strike if things got violent.

When humanoid has responded to Eliza, she gave a smile and removed her bow to face the female occupant. A large joyful smile spread on her face, as the resident explained how this deal was going to work. This was much appreciated, the more data, the better for current location of creator and master. It would seem humanoid knew lots, lots would help her greatly.
Taking a calm posture, Eliza replied calmly to the girl. "I am very gracious for taking the time to answer my present questions. I will share any data to you, for your data. Sent I was by a man named 'Outis', translation of common language a common code name meaning 'nobody'. It was by this Nobody, I arrive by an odd omniversal traveling machine to this place. He gave intel that this machine would take me to my creator and master, but I have yet to locate him. Perhaps, you have heard of, Harium Sani the Robotics Designer of SAI Corporation? As follow up questions, I know not what you mean of authority or fringe group. As I compute you are my authority, following the Second law 'A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.' As of current data stats, that would be you madam."
After a few seconds past, she tilted her head trying to compute the other bytes of information, all not exactly computing. Such a useless hardware she was for messing such simple measures, just nothing within the 600 zettabytes of stored information. She was truly falling apart, just like all other giftias, destined to lose all data by 81,920 hours current count left 3,027.7 hours.
Taking a deep breath, her body reacting in bit shakier manner than before, almost as if to express the emotion of fear. She slowly responded "I know not of what these "heartless" are, please tell of scientific name. This way I may search current data to understand resident species. If no current scientific name, would you please describe an accurate description. Are these unknown species considered dangerous to current occupants, should I assist in annihilation of current population?" she paused a realization she missed other intel the girl gave, "is the location what you seek, like I? Any data you can give to help locate location with internal processes?"

As the woman unbowed, she smiled at Hel with a huge goofy grin. What was her angle? Was she trying to keep Hel off-balance? Perhaps she was trying to affect a sense of openness, so the sneak-attack would catch her more off guard...but no, she legitimately seemed to be interested in information...so what would happen when she and whoever she worked for got it? Would she be dead weight to them after that? She'd have to be careful.
She was sent here by a man named Outis? Outis means nobody? Why did she...wait. Nobody. She had heard that word before...but where? She would have to find out. Clearly it was meant as a message hidden in a message. Hel nodded her head as if she understood. She was from another world too? Damn. Should have seen that coming.
"Harium Sani? You said creator? You were created? Not born?" Hel listened as the woman explained that a robot must obey any and all humans so long as they didn't interfere with her first law. Rules. Hel hated them. They always get in the way. "What is the first law?" Hel assumed that 'robot' must be her rank, or perhaps the name for any member of her group. What had she called it? SAI Corperation? Sounded fancy. Upper crust. Authorities? The woman explained that Hel was her authority.
um...what?
Hel's eyes widened as she realized that this woman was promising to obey her. What the hell!?! Was she serious? Was she a defector of her group? Was she a double agent, and just really bad about it? What!?!
The woman explained that she didn't know what the Heartless are. She used complicated words like "species", "Scientific", and "annihilation", but Hel got the gist; this woman was asking what they were, where they were, and if they should be destroyed.
"Heartless are beings of darkness. They are little more than animals, but they are relentless killers, always spreading out. I've heard they eat worlds, but I've never seen evidence of that. I HAVE seen them eat other people, though. Their monsters, who will kill every human they can find...to be honest, I don't know where they are, that's why I was asking you. I...I know they like to make nests, where they swarm...but honestly I haven't seen them much in this world; in my home world they would wander around in the open...often in small groups. Here I've only seen a few such groups, and...no evidence of nests...It's possible the heartless of this world don't even make nests." As Hel spoke, she realized just how little she knew about the Heartless...how would she destroy them if she couldn't even explain what they were?
"You want to help? How good are you at fighting?"

"Harium Sani? You said creator? You were created? Not born?"
The girl seemed perplexed at the thought of her being "created', surely this place new of robots? Humans made creations all the time, in her world is was a common knowledge, even smaller outskirt countries knew of robotics. It was the robots that brought cures, create cures, and helped move gravel when needed. Why robots were used for any sort of environment that was dangerous for their main countrymen to go to, a reason such creations were of great importance. She looked up thoughtfully wondering how barbarian this humanoid was in comparison to the people of her present world. Deciding that the best course of action was to explain as little as possible, "Yes, by Harium Sani." Considering she did not know what robotics were, the girl probably had no information for her at all. She as promised however, will help out the girl, for it is her duty as a robotic contraption.
"What is the first law?" Eliza was happy with each nod the girl gave, it was a human interaction that was utmost of importance between teacher and student. What extremely made the android happy was the girl asking what the first law was. All despair toward her death rate due to soul deterioration was gone from her main RAM, replaced with nothing but pride to her duty. She shifted her position too look like a warrior, her arms behind her back held together by each other. A huge smile crossed her face, the pose reaching extreme levels by small wind pick up, the long blue skirt being blow to the right. "First Law is as stats 'A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.' Applying as a robot I may not harm you or allow you to fall into harm. It is my duty as great SAI Corporation creation to protect you before my ownself. It is but we, robots, are all designed to do." She finished her sentence, holding the prideful pose for a few seconds, before breaking it to a more friendlier communicating relaxed post. She subconsciously advertised her creator's company, a small programming that all giftia's had, it was what helped keep the Corporation business going.
The girl's eyes widened excited at all she had informed of the girl, how helpful she was being! She loved these new worlds, so much to help with. Why when she was held under her Master's protection she ran into few humanoids, it was almost as if he wanted to keep her to himself. If only she used all her programming this years for its full potential, there was so much to be done.
"Heartless... nests" When the humanoid began explaining about the animal, she gave so little information. Eliza had to take the time to analyze it, she looked sideways toward the bricks surrounding the water fountain. Darkness? Was that a human exaggeration characteristic? Was it an explanation of absence of color? Was this animal somehow related to the on going research of Dark matter in the universe, how there was potential life? Did it somehow relate? Eliza could not wrap her head around this humanoid's description, there was absolutely no true data on this said "monster". Was it some new rare undiscovered species? was this somehow related to the Anthropic Principle, only located within this world?
Lost in thought, searching through all memory files, something occurred to her. Darkness, she has seen something of similar appearance, an oddity destruction of her world. A smile spread across her face recalling all the data gathered that evening as of recent events. Her lights began to glow, she moved her head to show all the data on the ground through lit up blue beams of light. The data showed "unknown" everywhere of what she could have gathered. What however was important was small clip to the top left, it relied over and over her master disappearing beneath some sort of shadowy creatures. Soon the darkness covered surrounding area, and the videotape losing signal, only to replay the short 30 second scene over again. The area around the repetitive video was hightech devices from her world, though it was hard to tell from the fractures on the bricks. "Is this data similar to what you are explaining? Otherwise, I do not understand given data."
"You want to help? How good are you at fighting?"
Was she good at fighting? Why yes she was, she replied to the girl's question. "I only have abilities to help humanoids in various situations. I have various of tools for evacuation, power to lift a car, systems to swim under waters, and various bandages for basic healing."

Another promise , another seed Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed And all the green belts wrapped around our minds endless red tape to keep the truth confined They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious As the 'robot' reiterated that she was created by this 'Sani', Hel realized she'd said something wrong. She should have known what that meant. Maybe it was related to that 'nobody' phrase? She needed more information! So these 'robots' couldn't let humans get hurt, on top of obeying humans? Did that mean this girl wasn't human? She had said she was created. As if in answer to Hel's train of thought, Eliza's tattoo's began to glow, and images began to appear on the ground around them. Many of them had the word "unknown" on them, but one was a scene of a man being eaten by Shadows. Hel walked around next to Eliza, so she could see the illusion better. "Ah...Yes, these are Shadows." Hel answered the question. "They're one of the most numberous kinds of Heartless. They're kind of weak, as heartless go, but they travel in swarms..." Hel resisted the urge to jump when the scene reset. Kneeling down, she looked at the other illusions, trying to make out what they were behind the word. She couldn't make any out though. "What are all these others? What's making them 'unknown'?" As Hel spoke, she pointed at one of the closer images with her knife, which was still in her hand from before, using it as a pointer while also secretly testing if the illusion was solid or not: It wasn't. So this...'robot' was an information gatherer...? Eliza explained she was some kind of emergency medic, but could life 'cars', whatever those were. She could Swim? Bandages? What did that have to do with fighting? Gah, this girl was useless...at least as a weapon. Though, if she wasn't human, perhaps she didn't have a heart, either? Hmm... "The video...was it from the other world? You're home world?"@hel | words | muse | notes MADE BY VEL OF GS

The girl walked over, analyzed the information screen in blue light. The girl then explained that the unknown species was shadows a type of "heartless". With the new intel portions of the "unknown" filled up with the given data. The girl then bent closer looking at all the data, attempted to touch the data, only to have the light bounce of her hand instead.
Eliza replied simply as she could, "Those are all the fields that are need of intel, I do not currently have." A moment passed and she decided to go into more depth, exactly what those fields were. "I know not of homeland location, species name, minimum or maximum; length or height. I know not of origin genetics, as to which tree species derive from... Is this more than you seek? Would you rather I print out a definition list? " She waited calmly on the humanoid response, as she found the humanoid seemed to show unresponsiveness to her intel.
The girl however focused on something that must have been bothering her more, "where was this robot from?" With the question if the video was from Eliza's homeworld. Eliza gave a smile and nodded, "Yes that is my world."

Another promise , another seed Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed And all the green belts wrapped around our minds endless red tape to keep the truth confined They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious So this was the information she DIDN'T have yet? She was so much more organized than Hel... "Homeland...I have no idea what world they came from...they seem to be everywhere, though I admit I tend to go to worlds they have infested on purpose. Species name? As in latin? If I remember correctly, there's a legend about a scientist who studied, them. He was from...this world, actually; Radiant Garden. But I'm not a native, so I have no idea if the story's even true, let alone where he might be. I'd hoped to learn while I was here.
"Minimum and maximum weight/height? I've never bothered measuring them. But as a whole, heartless come in all sorts of sizes: those shadows are the smallest, but the biggest can be as big as a house. I've heard of bigger, but I've never seen one that big yet.
"Genetics? What Tree they come from? I don't have a clue about that, but again; the scientist probably holds those answers." Hel stood up straight as Eliza ran out of unknown spaces. She looked around; they were still alone? Was it some kind of local holiday!?! Where was everyone? "Print...? No, that won't be necessary." Hel squinted at the illusion of the man being eaten by shadows. Something was bothering her about it...but she was having trouble putting her foot on it...the shadows were acting as normal as shadows get...she didn't know the man...the background... "Those are...hey, is that giant balls of darkness in the background?" Hel pointed at the illusion with her knife, still standing next to Eliza. The...robot...didn't know what heartless were. Did she know what those balls of darkness meant? "Are you aware what they mean? what they do?"@hel | words | muse | notes MADE BY VEL OF GS

Eliza listened as the blonde explained what she knew and did not knew as listed under the unknowns, the information was pretty much similar or same, though there were some unknowns edited. The humanoid finished, she again poked at the illusion with her knife asking a question. Eliza looked closely at the giant balls of darkness trying to figure it out, she really had no idea or anyway to really analyze them with her current technology. "What you see, is what I know. I apologize but none of my data systems are able to analyze these 'balls of darkness' as you have called them."
She studied the data charts a little longer thinking of a way out of this, when it occurred to her maybe something in this world was designed to help against these creatures. "Do you know a place of hunting or technology that may help us both against Heartless?"

Another promise , another seed Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed And all the green belts wrapped around our minds endless red tape to keep the truth confined They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious Hel listened as the woman explained she didn't know what the balls of darkness meant. She should have felt bad, but she didn't. She remembered then how she didn't have a heart. She had almost forgotten, as odd as it sounded. "Those balls of darkness show up when a world's heart is eaten by darkness; It means that your homeworld is gone: It would have self-destructed, leaving nothing behind." Hel explained matter-of-factly, putting her knife away. "I don't have anything for FINDING heartless, usually I just stay in areas they've attacked recently and listen for scream for help. And they're pretty resistant to most weapons, unfortunately. Magic works, and if you hit them hard enough, it won't matter what you're weapon is. Keyblade Weilders are particularly effective against heartless, but they aren't reliable: they think they're better than common people."Hel's instincts, honed from years of living in the eternal night of Traverse Town, alerted her the day was half-way over. "Well, today wasn't a complete waste, but at this point I'm not going to get anything useful waiting here. You can take care of yourself, right, Eliza? Do you have a way to keep in touch with me? A...extra-world radio? I have a base in Traverse Town I need to get back to, and I'm not taking you there just yet, but I'd like to keep in touch with you here: you can find where the heartless hide here in Radiant Garden, what they look like and all that other information you care about, and I can hunt them down and kill the pests." Hel nodded even as she was still speaking, her mind already tallying the benefits of having this 'robot' helping to collect information. She'd make an invaluable tool, so long as her rule about obeying was true... @hel | words | muse | notes MADE BY VEL OF GS

Gone... The words Hel spoke would have strike the robots heart, if she had one. She deceiving herself moved the feelings away for storage, as what has happened, already happened. She knew deep down what this all had meant, her creator's life has now but ended... How had she not detected it? Was it due to her current world knowledge of other worlds and how they interact with each other? Did she not hold a current mechanic to help with such a situation? It really bothered her, how little her world knew. How ironic she somehow made it given her own limited life time. It brought out the question, how had she survived? Was it just humans that were eaten, did robots get thrown else where? What was the answer to all this? The new data recorded to in the library, as much as she wished to remove the data.
The girl continued with information on how to defeat the heartless, how magic and keyblades were only ways of harming them. The robot tilted her head, there was no such thing as magic, but she did not dare argue a humanoid master. She also noted how keyblade wielders were not to be trusted, were they the ones who helped create the heartless? Questions began to rise in her internal RAM, this was all important for future otherworldly situations. Something that an android must be prepared, for if not all is as it appeared, there was must be of great importance to every little "fact" to be gathered. Though the main problem she will have to consider is "opinion" versus "fact", an analogy of most importance. "Why are these keyblade wielders not to be trusted? What sort of "magic" is used to fight these species? Is it of a new technology of cross worlds? Something my world knew nothing of?"
Eliza gave nod as the girl asked about an "radio", "my communication receptors are located in my earring accessory." she removed the earring to show the girl, clicked for it show a small screen on the earring with contact details. "If you speak your name and contact details, I should be able to contact you no matter. Do you happen to have a "radio" that can pass through worlds? Maybe I could scan the technology to improve my own?"

Another promise , another seed Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed And all the green belts wrapped around our minds endless red tape to keep the truth confined They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us We will be victorious Hel frowned as she was asked about the keyblade weilders. "Well, They'll fight the heartless all-right. But they don't care much about helping any citizens who get caught in the crossfire." Hel pointed out, completely ignorant to the hypocracy of the statement. "They also have a bad habit of not being around; they tend to stick to their home world, which is heartless free. They only come to the danger zone every once in a while, and don't even always fight the heartless while they're in the area. They are more unreliable than untrustworthy."Hel looked at the earing Eliza handed her. It seemed so small. What kind of world was this 'robot' from!?! Well, it was a start. "Ah, I don't have a radio. That's why I was asking if you had one. But I'll test this right quick. If you don't hear anything in the next 30 seconds, that means either it doesn't work or I'm being waylaid."WIthout waiting for a response, Hel turned, checked that the area was still empty Seriously, where IS everyone?, and opened a Dark Corridor, stepping in and closing it behind her. After a few seconds to make sure this area of the corridor was safe, Hel held the earring up to her face. "This is Hel, do you hear me? Please respond, Eliza." Hel hoped this would work. @hel | words | muse | notes MADE BY VEL OF GS
