❛  ----hey,  where  did  you  learn  to  fight  like  that?  ❜  //  @onlyliberty​: sc.

        ❛  i  don’t  mean  to  be  rude,  but  am  i  supposed  to  know  you?  ❜   //   @irluuk​:  sc.

        ❛  that’s  zalem,  the  only  way  you  get  up  there  is  in  pieces.  ❜  //  @divisus​: sc.

❛  it’s  still   ----   weird.  ❜  alita watches john with a tilted gaze, she’s acutely aware of every movement and shift. she knows better than to be relaxed and complacent.  ❛  figured  you’d  have  a  reason  this  time.  it’s  kind  of  late  after  all,  figured  you’d  be  back  in  the  woods.  ❜

     sometimes  you  don’t  remember  things  for  a  reason. sometimes things are better off that way and alita almost laughs, because it’s better to make a sound than to let thoughts dig into your brain like worms or cables. eating away, uploading --- destroying. she shifts just slightly, she’s connecting to surveillance cameras because it’s part of her gift. to look, to see, to  ---  connect.  the word, even in her own mind, sends shivers down her cybernetic spine.     ❛  we...  i  ---  uh,   i  can  figure  that  out  after  we  deal  with  this.  ❜  this being whiterose, this being the entire messed up game of chess elliot’s found himself thrown into. a game he chose now forced upon him.  ❛  sorry,  things  get... muddled.  i’m  okay  now,  so  what  can  i  do  to  help?  ❜

         alita  likes  virote  and  how  passionate  he  is, his patience with her too has helped her ease whatever apprehension she might’ve felt.  ❛  i  have  eidetic  memory,  ❜  the cyborg is quick to reply, a smile tugging at her lips as she sits up straight.  ❛  please  inform  me,  i’m  having  issues  understanding  some  of  my  friends  and  when  i  ask  them  to  explain;  it  results  in  laughter.  ❜ 

i know there’s something wrong, your concrete heart isn’t beating and i’ve tried to make it come alive. no shadows, just red lights; now i’m here to rescue you.

       ❛  what’s  with  the  ‘owo’  and  ‘uwu’  thing...?  ❜   //  open.

         ❛  what  happened  to  your  head?  ❜  not the most tactful question, but a valid one. a tilt of the head, her large eyes squint just slightly.  ❛  i  mean,  why  did  you  leave  shrapnel  in?  ❜  //  @adiamondog: sc.

                                  ❛  i  think  i  was  human  once,  ❜  elliot doesn’t need to know that, but she needs to speak as she processes the information. it makes it easier, it makes the weight of it feel less like she’s getting crushed to death.  ❛  i  can’t  remember  what  happened,  and  i’m  not  sure  if  i  should  want  to.  ❜   //  @psychexch: sc.
