#zb-256

After an unknown amount of time a vent in the ceiling would pop out. An almost serpentine creature falling from the opening. Landing with a thunk against the floor as their tail dropped over them. Containing features of what seemed to be a variety of creatures. Though the most notable seemed to be a Hawaiian conger eel, short-beaked common dolphin, coral-banded shrimp, sea angel, and pufferfish based on the features and colors she visibly displayed. Though another set of orange and magenta heterochromatic eyes seemed to glow faintly in the dark space the vent provided. Seemingly watching the serpentine woman closely with some apparent irritation or annoyance. Also seeming to scan the room for any potential threats.

Taking a moment to seemingly shake off her fall, the subject would eventually look around the area she'd stumbled into. Glancing up at the other set of eyes as if uncertain. Five of the 6 arms she was seemingly supposed to have shifting to show a guarded stance. Rounded fins where her ears were meant to be twitching and shifting with any sound around her. Tail coiling close to herself as if prepared to strike should the need arise.

{You've encountered ZB-256, or the Demolitionist. Though it seems her twin isn't too far away.}

Kraken had personally went down to the hadal blacksite once again to try and catch that rat that had been escaping him. Now he had everything set mostly just more gear for his tendrils and items to use.

Walking down the hall with silent footsteps and the occasional clink of his tendrils, his eyes moved about to study what he could find or see. He turned and stopped staring at what he saw

Or who he saw in this case.

He thought it over for a long moment. Clawed finger over his mutated chin.

``Overall I'd say I have a pretty positive outlook on them. Even if it can be tiring to work with - or look after - a few of them, I do still care for them. And in many cases they can be quite helpful.``

He paused for a moment before speaking again.

``If I were to go into specifics... The Twins are rather reliable. Plus they make good company. Though their gaps in memory can be hard to work with now and then.``

``Calypso is also rather pleasant company. I find her tales and interests rather intriguing. Always a nice break from the hours I often spend going through files and drives.``

``Charlie and M.O.S can be a bit of a handful with the trouble they manage to get themselves into. But I will do what I can to keep them both safe and cared for. They're just kids. They shouldn't have been subjected to this place and what they've been through.``

``Niri is quite similar. She doesn't get into as much trouble but she also shouldn't have been subjected to this horrid place. Hate that Urbanshade thought it was ok to use a bunch of kids for their experiments. I promised her I'd look out for her and I intend to keep to that word.``

``Stxrz - or Cashier - I feel a bit mixed about. I had my suspicions at first. Especially with that dangerous of a weapon they choose to carry. But the more I get to know them the more they seem to have a relative mentality that fits their supposed age. I suppose they don't know any better. So, they may be quite a handful, but I dont entirely blame them. And I'll be sure to look after them and help them learn more about the world like I do with Painter.``

``Lemon.. boy where do I even start with that one? They're a chaotic one that's for sure. Irresponsible is a bit of an understatement. Though I dont think they're entirely malicious. Not entirely sure on their moral standing but they act rather childish as well. Really I'm sure they're just trying to survive down here like the rest of us. And I'll still do what I can to look out for them. Within reason.``

``Prawn seems rather curious and I've enjoyed the limited times they've stopped by. They're quite pleasant company to have and have proven themselves rather useful. Overall rather interesting to talk to.``

``Dipping into you anons. Crow is definitely a nuisance. But they don't seem all bad. Just don't fucking blind me and we'll be fine. As for the few of the rest of you I have spoken to, rather pleasant. And I am willing to answer your questions and curiosities for the most part. Within reason of course.``

``All in all I'd consider most of the entities I've met to be good friends. And people I want to look after. Even if it can be tiring at times acting like a parent to some of them. I dont really hold any ill will to any of them. And I am intrigued to see who I'll come across moving forward.``
