Bonded (a planetary RP)

(You know what? I like her. She reminds me of this character I made awhile back. My religions teacher once told me about this experiment done in Natzi Germany to see what would happen if children were never touched, never held, never loved. So I made up this boy, one of those children, who escaped thanks to a stranger. This man who rescued him held the kid for the very first time, but bloodied the concrete just hours later. Someone else took him in, a street rat of sorts. Kept him in a box until he was five.

They called him Monster.

Anyway, when he grows up he sells drugs n stuff and meets this middle-aged mom who drove into the wrong side of town. He likes her for whatever reason and fights a bunch of guys and takes a bullet for her and gets locked up in the insane asylum and then she goes looking for him and it all ends bad The End.)

(Well I am glad you like her, so do I. Nice story, has a good flow. :pop )
 
( :highfive: What can I say we make good murdery characters! Its like it was meant to be. )

Sybil stayed crouched over his dead body for a moment, her eyes fixated on his slack face and her fist still crushing his throat. Her breath came in short pants, she was still lost in the moment until she heard the youngest slave girl whimper. She looked up then and realized they were terrified and cowering in the corner of the room. She worked her fist open so she could release his corpse and stand up. Her other shoulder ached a bit where she had been shot and she was aware she was seeping blood but she didn't care. She looked at the slaves, "Your free now, I don't mean any of you harm." She said simply and quietly trying to calm their fears. But given what she must look like after that display she didn't blame them for being afraid. She turned and inspected her shoulder at this point, the bullet was lodged somewhere in her shoulder, not good. She moved to a chair and sat down to pull the bullet out then remembered that her metal hand was only semi functional. She swore and looked at the slaves wondering if she could convince one of them to pull the bullet out.
Adele exchanged a couple of he best knives she found with her own dull ones, filled a pocket with bullets that would fit her scavenged gun, then exited. She found a padlock and secured it on the door, shoving the key in her pocket with the full intention of returning here on her next run when she didn't have a cyborg to keep an eye on. Speaking of... She stepped into the adjoining hall. "Sybil? You here still?" She called out. Following the dusty hallway, she pushed open the door at the end to find Sybil and a lot of slaves. Or something like that. Adele eyed the crowd warily. Her gaze pinned on the tallest of them, she crossed the room to where the cyborg sat, a pained expression on her face. "Do I need to return a death wish here?" She said, noting the blood that was already clotting on Sybil's shoulder.

Sybil looked up when Adele came in, now that she wasn't fighting her shoulder hurt more. Thankfully her implant helped her section off most of her pain, it allowed her to be more efficient. "Had an altercation, he is dead now. Bullet is still in my shoulder, I was going to pull it out but can't get my bloody hand to work. Your going to have to pull it out, or get one of them to do it." She said jerking her head in the direction of the slaves. If the bullet was removed she could bandage it and mostly ignore it until later. She had supplies for medical work at her home she just needed to get through this job first.

<<I'm actually not very interested in getting a bond.>> Crow replied carefully, <<I mean, is there a reason for getting one?>>
Linda stared at him for a moment. After all her years of training, had she just assumed it was common knowledge? <<What's the point? The point is you don't die. They have a stronger survival instinct. Not only for themselves, but also those they care for.>> She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. She could dump all the information out on him, but she doubted he would understand half of it. It had taken her this long, and she still didn't know everything.

Adele leaned as close as she dared without Sybil biting her head off.
"That's goin to be a nasty one," she murmured. She pivoted on her heel to face the group of slaves, who were either whimpering in fright—because of Sybil, Adele, the recent death, or maybe all three—or busy trying to unlock the shackles that bound them with a ring of keys. "You," Adele barked, pointing to the tallest girl who had already freed herself "open that shutter." The girl hurried to do as bid. Adele scoffed in disgust. "Can't see a thing in this bloody darkness," she spat. She inched closer, pretending she didn't know what the cyborg was fully capable of doing, and moved the bit of cloth of sleeve from around the wound. With the small window open now, enough light filled the room that she could see the wound without having her nose in Sybil's neck. "I can get it out. Just sit very, very still," Adele instructed, selecting her thinnest dagger, barely more than an oversized needle, from its sheath. She saw no need to mention that it was going to hurt like heck.

Sybil blinked rapidly as the light streamed into the room, then turned to Adele. "Don't worry about me, I won't move. I have sectioned off the pain as best I can, this isn't the first bullet that has been fished out of me." She said as she turned and sat still facing the slaves. She might flinch a bit but she would not budge. She was no stranger to pain, in fact at this point she was so familiar with it, it might as well be her friend. She remembered how much pain she had been in when her owner had cut her arm off, or her legs. She had been fully conscious when it had been done and her modifications added. He said that it was necessarily to calibrated them right with my nervous system. At that time she had not been able to section off her pain, she had laid there strapped down screaming in pain while they cut her up and then reassembled her in their image. No, digging a bullet out of her shoulder was nothing big her mind.

Adele put the tip of the dagger against the wound's edge, moving it slowly inward until it stopped against the butt of the bullet. She glanced up, trying to gauge the amount of pain Sybil was feeling. "He got ya deep," she said softly, her eyes refocusing on the wound. Guiding the silver blade with expert precision, her numerous years spent handling knives for life saving and life destroying purposes showed through. She tapped her tongue against the roof of her mouth, anxious and cautious as she pressed the handle down slightly to get leverage under the bullet. It came out with relative ease and Adele dropped it into her palm. "A little souvenir for ya." She chuckled as she held the bloodied bullet out to Sybil.

Sybil flinched slightly as she dug her blade in to pop the bullet out but stayed firm. "Yeah he only managed to hit me at point blank range. Maybe I should make it into a necklace, would be a bit bland though, maybe I should grab some teeth to add to it. Give it some pizazz." She said with a smirk as she took the bullet. Maybe not teeth she thought to herself, he didn't look like he paid much attention to dental hygiene. She reached into her small pack and pulled out some medical supplies. She grabbed a small tube of special ointment that would numb and help speed healing. She squirted a generous glob on her wound before tossing the tube back in her pack. She then attempted to unravel the gauze and bandages with one hand. She may have had to ask for help to get the bullet out but couldn't bring herself to ask for help with this.

"Nah, teeth are overrated," Adele said. "Now fingers, there's a statement piece that'll catch the eye of every young man that passes." She winked at Sybil, leaving the imagination to decipher whether she was serious or not. Adele noticed her new aquaintance's struggle with the medical supplies, but left her to it along with her pride. That's what she herself would have preferred. Looking around the room, Adele spotted a stack of cushions against the wall. She made her way among the debris to reach them, ignoring the stares she was getting, then proceeded to clean the blood covered blades she'd used thus far. They would of course receive a more detailed cleaning at her flat.
