Leading the new addition through several doors, not too unlike from Get Smart, Rah'shid finally reaches the lab to start his pupil's training.  But first...introductions.

"So this is your new home, I think Pelayo should be around here some where.  Pelayo?" he yells, "come out and meet the new Etherite."

Pelayo has been relentlessly trying to rebuild and refurbish his lab. He hasnt been above ground, or even into the powerplant itself for days. Obsession is common among the etherites.

When he hears Rahshid yelling he will wander from his lab into the common area in the center, where the lift drops any of the labs visitors.

As usual Pelayo is not dressed. His nano-skin is a metallic, nuetral grey and his eyes blank and white. All his energy and concentration are going into the lab, not his appearance... And he still doesnt bother with pants.

*She cannot help but chuckle at her new nick-name, E-Rap* Sir, I sound like a code. *heck, all the better if those nasty baddies will come after her...they'll just be looking for an E-Rap!

She follows Rahshid though the doors, carrying her luggage in her hand. She eyes the lab with a lust in her eyes that cannot be normal. But then her consentration is broken as she spots Pelayo. Her jaw drops, her eyes move do his trouserless area and then....without really meaning to, she begins to giggle.*

Pelayo looks at her strangely before looking down at himself. His entire nano-skin turns a sudden red with embarassment and he chokes out an explanation.

'Its fuckin cold down here!'

*And that makes her giggle even louder* Oh, no...mister *she tries to stop her laughter but she cannot* I'm not laughing because of that! *Engel purses her lips together to stop herself but that only makes things worse, she drops her luggage, lips explode and she's neary peeeing herself laughing now. Hands fly over her mouth and she looks down at the floor, muttering appologies.*

Rah'shid flashes a stern look to his student, "Pelayo, would you mind throwing some pants on or put on a coat so my student doesn't make a mess on the floor?"

He does his best to help her up off the floor. "This is Pelayo, he is wearing a nano skin that changes the way light bounces off of it or something, like optical camo.  I don't think it works right if he is wearing clothing, hence why he roams around naked most of the time."

'Fuck pants.'


2008-11-12 07:16:16 Pelayo rolls 3 dice to Arete (Diff 5) 7,1,10 (1 success)

Pelayo presses on a nearly imperceptible circle on his left temple, his form bending and fading as light is scattered around him rather than bounces off him. Its not perfect invisibility, it rarely ever works that good, but it should show E-rap what his intentions are.

Other than being the big naked creep in the lab across the way.

'Yo Mal! Come meet the rest of the goggle-heads.'

Pelayo calls out into one of the unused labs, where Malaclypse is more than likely attaching lasers to doorknobs and clipboards and other ridiculous items.

The 3 Etherites do in fact find Mal, goggles down, welding a laser of some variety onto... Wait, is that the fridge?
She's whistling a happy tune as she works, and is absorbed enough that she hadn't noticed the other arrivals until Pelayo calls out to her. The sparks from the welder sputter out, and she moves the goggles back onto her head, and removes her gloves.

"Hey Pelayo! Oooooh, we have company, that's a first!" she says happily.

Rah'shid looks blankly at the new Etherite.

"Who are you?"

'This is Malaclypse.'

Pelayo tells Rahshid with a sage-like nod, as if the name explains it all. He will whisper, as if everyone there cant hear him...

'Shes from the future...'

Pelayo will clear his throat and continue the introductions, his nano-skin adjusting back to a comfortable, nuetral, metallic grey.

'Mal this is Rahshid, the guy i told you a bit about. And she, is apparently E-rap?...'

Pelayo looks to Rahshid for clarification, its just what he heard...

*Her laughter was more out of nervousness than being mean* She looks down when Rahshid scolds her and mutters a quick I'm real sorry...

Her gaze rises to Pelayo, a blink watching him...in awe, naked or not he's hella interesting.* Please accept my appologies...*she says super-softly.

A small nod at the mention at her new code...err...name* I'm Rapunzel...you can call me E-Rap, like Mr.Rahshid does. *She grabs her luggage and sort of steps up behind her new teacher. And then she begins to chew on her bottom lip nervously.*

"She was sent here to learn our practices.  Apparently the Technocracy has been active in the area where she was to be taught, so they sent her here."

Rah'shid will raise an eyebrow to the comment about 'future girl' and return the knowing nod.

"Well, nice to meet you, Rashid and...E-Rap." She waves at the two new arrivals.

"So, E-Rap, with a name like that, are you sure you're not also from the future? It would be nice to have another friend on the run from the future agents, don't you know?"

She rummages around the room until she finds a few chairs, pulling them out into the middle of the room. Only half of them have lasers mounted on them, she must not have been working too hard today.

'So, have a seat, tell me what brings you here, I'm always excited to hear about the happenings outside of the lab."

*She smiles at Mal and returns the wave, feeling at ease with this commodoty from the future.* Are you really from the future? *asked with a smile* No, I am from the present, though sometimes I feel like I am from Mars or something. *She gently places her luggage by a chair and takes a seat.*

"Oh yes, definitely from the future. I got sucked back here roughly around the time of my Awakening. I think someone was protecting me, because occasionally agents will come hunt for me from the future."
Whatever it is, Mal seems utterly convinced that this is the unshakeable truth, even when Pelayo rolls his eyes as he always does.
"Hey, maybe you are from Mars and you just haven't remembered it yet!" she says as she sits down next to E-Rap.

"So, here to learn the ropes, are you?"

*She smiles warmly at Mal* Maybe I am.

I hope you are able to outrun those Future men in black *she frowns* I mean...it wouldn't be nice if some future baddie caught you. *a nod* I'd like to know about the future Malaclypse, perhaps one day you will tell me all about it?

*Another nod to Mal* Yes, I am here to learn everything Mr.Rahshid is willing to teach me.

"Oh yeah, for sure, when you've got a few hours," Mal responds, smiling.

"Well, first time I meet this Mr. Rahshid myself, so I can't tell you what kind of a teacher he'd be. Apprenticeship can be hard, so I wish you good luck. You just gotta give it everything you've got. And if you need a break, you can always come down here, I'll show you how to build a laser rifle or something!"

"We really should get started E-rap.  We can get you settled in later in the day."

He motions her to follow him.

((I really wanted to say "Hurry! There is SCIENCE afoot!" but it sounded very cliche))

((Haha, you should have.))

"Well alright, it was nice meeting you two, I'm sure we'll have occasion to see each other again," says Mal, heading back to the refrigerator to finish welding the damn laser onto it.

Thanks Mal, I'll take you up on that offer. *She rises and smiles at the girl before looking to Rahshid* All ready, boss. *She cannot wait to start this!*
