"Ok" she says simply. She takes a small step towards the cell door.

Avery draws out a long needle "im going to need you to hold still"

Celeste opens up the door to the dungeon. She freezes, seeing the guy from the market and the girl from earlier.
"Uhhhhh…"

Avery glances over "Im one of the head scientists assistants"

"Uh, ok…." So he works here too? She looks at the girl, then the guy, the girl, then the guy.

"i have a stall at the market to make a bit more Univs" he explians

"Oh. That uh… makes sense."
Well, I'm pretty much dead. One of the few people who know I'm an android works here and at the market. Yup, I'm dead.

"I wont tell anyone, dont worry" he says almost senseing her thoughts

Can he read androids minds? No, Lunars can't do that….. can they?

She walks on up to a cell with someone in it and looks at them.
"Has anybody ever gotten out?" She asks.

"No, not yet. though the sicurity system could use some upgrades" he remarked

Celeste nods and looks up at a camera.
"Ya, it could."
The guy in the cell gives her a cold stare. She shudders.

"its like they dont care about the Emporer and his son" he shakes his head

Celeste laughs a little. Oh, if only you knew my job…

"at least they have people like you helping"

She freezes. How much does this guy know?
"Ya."

its fine!//

Flynn Looks to the android, The android's here, great. Another person I can't control She pulls away from Avery, Her eyes glued to the long needle. She backs against the wall, He'll have to open the cell to get to me.

(Going off from before…)

Celeste looks back a the guy in the cell. He gives her another glare.
She looks at the scientist, "What are you doing with that long needle?"

(Also, Alex, lunars can manipulate lunars)

"Sceintist needs to get blood fr plauge testing" is all he says

"Oh," Celeste responds. I forgot about the plague.
Celeste gives him a puzzled look, "Why would you get a blood sample from a lunar?"

wait, i don't remember. has it been found out that the plague came from lunars?//

(NOT going from before).

Celeste sits in her room, thinking about what kind of outfit she should make out of the fabric she got. Maybe a… no not that. Ooo! Maybe a dr- no not that either. She puts her hands on her head and sighs. She looks around. Maybe I need an opinion. She gets up and walks out of her room. But who?

Celeste passes by a maid. She keeps on walking but then stops. Turning around she yells wait. The maid stops.
"Yes?" She says sweetly.
"Do you have an idea of what I could make out of some fabric?" Celeste asks.
The maid opens her mouth for a moment and then closes it.
A second later she answers, "Actually, yes."

Corvin steps out onto the open balcony hallway of his temporary home. The apartment complex is ordinary and full of some of the poorer but innocent people of the city; it's the kind of place he usually hides out in when on a job. It's less likely to be searched by the police force, unless there is a random outbreak of the plague, and it feels safe. Corvin doesn't often go by feeling, but when you know, and your feelings match up with what you know….you're in a good place.

He scans the sparse crowd in the alley just below his second-floor view. He walks along the walk, keeping an eye out for no one in particular. When he reaches the stairs he stops and turns around. Letting the records, travel and money, settle was another reason he usually didn't work the first day after travelling….fast movements, unless he got out of their quickly, were more noticeable.

Celeste sits in her room, charging. She scans the internet for anything about lunars being on earth. That girl, and that guy… if they're lunars then how did they get to earth. Why are they on earth? She feels her system getting hot.
Charging Complete
Celeste gets up. She walks to her window and opens it. She looks down. She starts thinking about the thought she has every time she looks out her window. I could jump right now and run away, never having to work again. But why don't I? Suddenly, she thinks about Kai. She sighs. He's why.

-

Years ago, the emperor thought about getting Kai a friend. That's when I came in. I was built and programmed to act and look like a 7 year old sense Kai was 7.
They introduced him to me and the first thing he said was, "Why a girl?" I felt hurt. It was the first "emotion" I ever felt.
The scientist that brought me to Kai laughed and said, "How about you two go to the garden to play?" Kai agreed and said for me to follow.
We get to the garden.
"What should we play?" I asked. Kai paused for a moment, thinking. Suddenly, his face lights up.
"How about we play pirates?" He says lightly.
"Ok," I say, "How do you play?"
"It's simple!" He grabs two sticks and hands me one, "Now we fight like were pirates and these are our swords. But don't actually hurt me… or yourself." I nod understandingly and we start playing. Kai laughs and I do too. Even if I'm just simulating what he's doing everything feels real. It feels like I'm doing what I want to do. It feels like I'm actually a person; not a machine.
Kai falls on the ground, out of breath and I follow. I do not really have lungs but I think I look enough like a human for someone to think I have lungs. Then we both sit up. Looking around I see the garden, but it's in the distance. About a mile away. Did we really run out this far?
Kai stands up and starts walking back to the garden. I follow. Suddenly a figure behind a tree comes out.
"Hello kids!" The figure says.
"Who are you?" Kai asks.
"Your father sent me to come and tell you that you need to go inside now," The figure responds.
Kai looks sad and I want to comfort him, "Oh, okay." He starts walking back to where the castle is and I follow.
Just then the figure whistles and grabs Kai.
"I got him! Come out guys I got the kid!!" The man hollers. I run up the man and kick him in the shin. He yells out and drops Kai. The man lunges for me and grabs me.
"Kai! RUN!" I yell to him. He starts running and three more men come out. One grabs him. The man holding me tosses me over to another man.
I don't remember what happened after that.

-

Closing her window Celeste sighs again. The reason I don't go is because of him. We have that brother and sister relationship. I know he would protect me because that one day somehow we still ended up in the castle, safe and sound. I would protect him because he is one of my only true friends. The reason I don't go is because I need him… and I think he needs me.
Celeste decides to go take a walk.

(I like the short backstory for Celeste.)

Corvin frowns. His tablet, which he had set to work stealthily on searching for unit transactions by his target, has caught something. I don't get it.
How is his target, who he was 99% sure was in New Beijing, making purchases somewhere in South Africa? Corvin sighs and tosses his tablet back on his uncomfortable bed.

I need out. Soon he finds himself in one of the larger markets, hands stuffed in his pockets, people-watching.

(@"Peter Duende " Thx!)

Celeste walks around the large market. Maybe there will be something worth looking at… She sighs. As long as I don't let anyone know I'm an android, then everything will be okay.
She walks up to a stand selling gadgets.

(Open for interaction)

Corvin smirks at a few of the vendors. Their items obviously aren't worth the amount they're asking for them; 'authentic' and its synonyms are wrongly used and overused on many of the signs.
He steps up to a small stand displaying broken, probably beyond repair, gadgets. At least some of these parts are worth something.

Someone walks up to the stand next to him and he glances at them. It's a girl with pretty blonde hair that reminds him of cornsilk for some reason. He frowns; she doesn't look like a native-born of New Beijing, unless her hair is dyed of course. He wants to try and get a glance at slant of her eyes to see if she is from around here, but looks down at the stand in front of him before he can get caught staring. He picks up a random gadget and fiddles with it. The vendor behind the gadget stand notices and smiles fakely. "Interested? It's got some prime parts screwed into it, even if they're a little rusty."
