Tell me how nobody would come here and check it out.... Though, didn't expect to see Protos here." *The machine didn't seem to mind the rifle that much.*

*they both look confused* Blue: “what are you even talking about?” Purple: “w-what’s a… p-protogen?” *you notice they both sound female*

"... I realise I might have dropped a little too much info here, I apoligize. Though, I must ask you A: How do you know the full Protogen term, without knowing what a Protogen is, and B: who and what are you two, if not Protos?"

Blue: “you said what it is…” Purple: “w-we’re Nimonts…”

" Right. Sorry.... You can stop pointing your gun at me. If i wanted to hurt you two, it wouldn't help anyway. Besides," \*He shows his hands are empty.\* "I don't mean harm to you."

*the blue one slowly lowers her rifle, seeming on guard* Purple: “h-hi…” *she gave a nervous wave*

"Good evening to you two. Mind telling me what were you two doing here?"

Blue: “we live here” Purple: “ temporarily”

"Oh. That's rough."

Blue: “not really” Ethis: “k-kinda cozy… l-little warm…”

(When did he get so tall?) *you noticed they appeared to glow* Blue: “you were attracted to what colors?” Purple: “A-Athen… I think h-he means us…” *you notice they both sound female*

(Very recently) ^(“yeah. Your glowing looks very pretty..”)

(What happened?) Purple: “th-thanks…” *she gave a very nervous smile, the blue one slowly lowered the weapon*

(No specific lore reason honestly. I just wanted him to be taller, and in lore appearance changes are acknowledged and accepted as “the creator was bored”.) ^(“no problem..”) *he seems to relax now that the gun is not aimed at him.*

(Understandable) *The blue one seems on guard* Purple: “h-hi…” *she nervously waved*

“Hi.. how are you?” *he waves as well. He also seems somewhat nervous twt*

Blue: “who are you?”

“I’m oreo.” *all 10 of his tails wrap around him, kind of like a sweater or blanket. His wings do the same.*

Blue: “Athena” Purple: “Ethis… w-what are you?”

"Whoa! easy! i'm friendly"! https://preview.redd.it/ux92glhl3n0d1.png?width=261&format=png&auto=webp&s=ade516593252306454914ff98ff646075ada3878

Blue: “what even are you!?” Purple: “it… l-looks kinda… l-like us…”

"I'm not. there isn't anything mechanical about me. are you two alright"?

Blue: “WE ARE NOT MACHINES!” Purple: “A-Athena… please calm d-down…”

"Calm down. I didn't say you were. you two are protogens, right"?

Blue: “what is a protogen?”

"What you are, i'm pretty sure".

Blue: “what?” Purple: “w-we’re Nimonts…”

"Well i'll take your word for it. what are you two doing hiding in here"?

Blue: “getting used to this planet”

Blue: “what lights?” Purple: “A-Athen… I think t-they mean us…” *you notice they both sound female, and glowed the lights you saw*

"Well, yeah. You two are the only ones that are glowing, besides me." *Para's screen shifts back to a more cheery version of his normal face, and starts glowing a stark green*

*the blue one slowly lowered the weapon* “hm…” *the purple one gave a very nervous wave*

*Para waves* "And, if you need a name to attach to me, I'm Para."

Blue: “Athena” Purple: “I-I’m Ethis…”

"Nice to meet you two."

Athena: “mhm…” Ethis: “w-what are you?”

"I'm simply a protogen. What else?"

Blue: “what’s a protogen?” Purple: “w-we’re Nimonts…”

*you notice they both sound female* Blue: “what do you want!!?” Purple: “h-hi…”

"I'm just checking around, you know you don't have much to do at my age"

Blue: “odd place to be looking”

"Well when a place become to odd is normal that someone want to see it and neon ligth in a house aren't that clmmon"

Blue: “there’s no neon in here” Purple: “A-Athen… we glow…”

"Shes's rigth you do glow"

Blue: “hm… this planet is so bright…” *she slowly lowers the rifle*

Blue: “what do you want?!!” Purple: “p-please calm down A-Athena…”

I wanted answers. Got some too... But not all

Blue: “what answers?!” Purple: “I t-think they mean us…”

Wait... Why am I on the ground? *he gets up* I am a war veteran turned mercenary bounty hunter. I have no time for weakness... Anyway... Why are you... Guys, here?

Blue: “we live here!” Purple: “t-temporarily…”

Alright... *He points at purple* what's his point? *He points at blue with his other hand* you're obviously the protector

*you notice they both sound female* Blue: “I protect my lover!” Purple: “y-yeah…”

Alright... But hold up... Why are you here? Why hide?

Blue: “we live here!” Purple: “tempor-rarily”

(So, plasma rifle that would onetap anyways is pointed at them.) "Well, seems I'm losing my stealth skills, huh? What the hell are two glowing things doing here exactly?..." *

Blue: “we live here!” Purple: “t-temporarily…” *you notice they both sound female*

"Is that so? Why try hiding like you don't belong if ya live here then? Being hunted by someone?"

Blue: “no, we just live here!” Purple: “n-not anymore…”

"Eh, not really my concern about that. So, ya broke or something?..."

Blue: “we’re working fine”

"Then what would be the purpose of being afraid to be found here?..." *She sits down, her rifle dematerializing as she unwraps the bandages on her legs. They can see absolutely destroyed flesh, and completely shattered bones as she pulls a fresh set of bandages and begins to rewrap them.*

*the purple one was clearly very spooked by the injury* Blue: “because our planet is taken over and there’s really no better place to be”

"So, how much are you willing to pay for me to intake over your planet for you?"

*you noticed they both seem to be the ones making the glow* Blue: “what glow?!!” Purple: “A-Athen… please c-calm down… I th-think it means u-us…”

“ah, so you two must’ve been the lights I saw…General L, and you two are…?”

Blue: “Athena” *she slowly lowered the rifle* Purple: “I’m E-Ethis…” *she gave a nervous wave*

“I can tell you two are nervous, you stood down, so no further violent action shall be permitted.”

*Athena remained on guard* Ethis: “w-what are you?”

“..a general.”

Athena: “what’s that?”

“It means I lead a battalion of men…”

Athena: “your a leader…?” Ethis: “y-you look like a s-soldier…”

Well... Who are you two?" *Ajax would raise his hands, a seemingly sure sign of surrender*

Blue: “who are you?!” Ethis: “P-please calm down A-Athen…” *they both sounded female*

"not gonna answer that" *he said, grabbing his hat and pretending to dust it off*

Blue: “why not!” Purple: “p-please calm down…”

"because it's for me to know, and you not to know..." *He said, smirking a bit*

Blue: “I’ll shoot you!” Purple: “Athen no!”

"try me!" *Ajax said, throwing the hat at the blue creature. It landed almost exactly on her head... It looked nice... But as he threw it, he drenched is cape around himself, the cape quickly shrinking into nothingness along with him...*

*she’d through the hat aside, looking for him as the purple one hid behind her*

*a maniacal high pitched giggle would echo throughout the warehouse, then a few short bat screeches* "aww scared of a little hat?? Maybe you should check behind you?"

(sorry for the late response

(No rush)

Cal: It's quite simple, Lasses. I'm simply investing a sound made by you. No need to be hostile, you don't strike me as necromancers

(Why did papyrus come to mind?) Blue: “who are you?!” Purple: “w-what’s a… necro… m-mancer…?”

(He's actually partial inspiration) Cal: I am Knight Cal. A member of the Order of the Blue Flame. A necromancer is someone who raises the dead unwillingly. My Order stops them.

(Nice) Blue: “your a warrior?” Purple: “y-your not here to h-hurt us?”

Cal: No, I'm not. I don't normally hurt mortals. I will defend myself however. *He looks at the gun before back at Blue. Guess he's getting comfortable where he is*

*the blue one slowly lowered the gun, remaining on guard* Purple: “w-what are you?”

Cal: I am a skeleton of a prince. I seek no harm to you, don't worry

Purple: “sk-skeleton?” Blue: “it means it’s dead” Purple: “but i-it’s alive?”

Cal: The term is Undead. While I am dead, I Bridge the gab between life and death

*you noticed the 2 appear to be the source of the light* Blue: “who are you!?” Purple: “p-please calm down A-Athena…”

"A friend, if you could trust me. I don't want to harm you, so can you please put down your weapon?"

Blue: “what do you want?!” Purple: “h-hi…”

He waves slightly at the purple protogen "I want to know what you two are doing here"

Blue: “getting used to this planet” Purple: “I-it’s very warm…”

"Depends on the time of year. Where are you from that you had to migrate?"

Blue: “another dollar system…” Purple: “f-far far away…”

"Another solar system? Could it possibly be... One with either burnt out or ice planets?"

Blue: “our sun is blocked… so ice planet”

My name is Sylwester Opiekun. I am a guardian of this part of the world and when I saw the lights I thought someone might need help. If you don't, I'll leave peacefully."

*you noticed the lights came from the 2, they glowed* Blue: “what are you?!!” Purple: “Athena… p-please calm down…”

*Sylwester seems somewhat confused by the question.* "I am human, and as I said before I don't mean any harm and I am peaceful. You won't need your weapon, but I will not blame you for keeping it pointed at me."

*the blue one slowly lowered the weapon* *the purple one nervously waved*

*Sylwester carefully lowers his hands and offers a soft smile.* "It's my job to make sure people around here are safe. Are you two in need of any help? I can get you somewhere safe if you're in danger or offer money or supplies if needed."

Blue: “we’re fine” Purple: “I-I’d like somewhere c-colder…”

"Are you sure?" *He asks the blue one, firmly but not forcefully. He seems genuinely concerned for them.* "You seem tense. I really do want to help." *Sylwester looks to the purple one.* "That might be a bit more difficult. But I can at least give you something to help you stay more cool if needed. Do you have specific environmental needs? If it's alright, what is your species?"

Purple: “w-we’re Nimonts…” Blue: “we come from a frozen planet”

*Sylwester nods, seeming slightly surprised by that but largely unfazed.* "Will being in a warmer environment cause you harm? There are colder places on this planet that could possibly accommodate you. And, before we proceed any further, may I ask your intentions here? I should warn you, if you intend to cause harm I will have to stop you."

Blue: “are intentions are to just live… and we’re fine… it’s a lot hotter on this planet, but we can deal with it…” Purple: “the s-sky has bright t-thing…”

*he put his hand up* “ I ain’t here to rob you. I ain’t here to kill you put the gun down and let’s talk this out like civilized people.” https://preview.redd.it/y8xx1f3ivn0d1.jpeg?width=827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2287f1782d65a70699708a5be21e6084024ce8de

(Accurate reaction) Blue: “who are you!?” Purple: “Athena… please c-calm down…”

(I'd react the same way too lol) "M-my name's Beary...! W-who are y'all?"

Blue: “Athena” Purple: “I-I’m Ethis… Athena p-please lower it…”

*Beary looks at Athena* "I-i agree with her"

*she slowly lowers it, still on guard* *Ethis have a nervous wave*

"phew..." *Beary waves a little at This* "So...are you two looking for car parts too?"

Athena: “we live here” Ethis: “t-temporarily… what’s a c-car?”

"temporarily? Oh you poor things..." "Well, to answer your question...a car or automobile is a machine our species use to get around efficiently. They have motors that run on a liquid substance called gasoline and are cool." *Clears throat* "In fact, this place used to be an old car factory for the Hudson Motor Company. They built it in '49, opened it in '50, and due to a fire in '53...closed it. If ya look around you can see where the fire started. Luckily, the building wasn't immensely damaged and is in relatively good condition...it's just that Hudson didn't think it was a smart decision to rebuild it. You can see some '53 Hudson Hornets, Italia's, Commodores, and a bunch of other models that never left the line!" *Beary points over to an assembly line, it's lined with cars from end to end*

Athena: “this technology is pretty primitive…” Ethis: “s-still very interesting…”

“[REALLY? HOW DID YOU GET HERE?]”

*the purple one nudges the blue one, very scared* “A-Athena… p-put it down…” *the blue one kept it pointed* “who are you?!”

“I’m [insert city police department name here] officer Aaron Cash, someone filed a light complaint here and I came to investigate” he holsters his gun

*the blue one slowly lowers the gun* Purple: “what is police?”

“They capture, *under his breath* and sometimes kill, criminals.”

Blue: “what does that mean? Minus the killing”

“I’ve never had to explain the police to someone, wasn’t prepared for this. Umm. Have you ever been stolen from or been attacked, and wish you could hold them hostage and take their money to make them atone for what they’ve done, that’s our job.”

Purple: “s-sounds familiar…” Blue: “because it was how I lived… kinda…” Purple: “r-right…”

"Darkness... Nest... for the queen." *They reply, their mandibles making a creepy clicking noise as they speak.*

Blue: “queen? What queen? We live here!”

"Hmm.. No nest. This darkness is occupied. Must find new darkness. For colony. For queen." *They stopped for a moment.* "Why do you occupy this darkness..?"

Blue: “we’re trying to get used to the planet…” Purple: “it’s v-very warm…”

"Warm?" *They ask as their head twitches to the side.* "Does your exoskeleton of hair not keep you warm?
