It had been a while since the contact between her brother and herself had been severed, an empty void of space filling the area beside her where his normally grinning self would reside.
She wasn't lonely, far be it from any standards, but it did feel a bit awkward not to have a familiar code always at her side. She could bear to be apart from him for any interval, they had come from separate eggs and not a single one, so to not be able to see him wasn't affecting her in the least.
At least, not on the outside. inwardly she was craving a reason to do something, a reason to argue or fight or go and destroy something only to fix it up to their standards. Without her brother next to her she was only one half of the whole, and part of her knew it.
< He'd better return soon, that idiot. I'm growing bored and I'm sure he's simply wasting his time somewhere else. >
Little did she knew she was guessing pretty spot on about her twins behavior, but that was only because they knew everything about one another, down to the data they liked most.
Still, feeling as bored as she really was, the Elder Hacker decided that while she wouldn't get on to where her brother was she would still slip online and have a go around. There was nothing better to do, and hacking her way onto the Internet was a task she could easily do alone.
So she did, and she soon found herself in an expanse of data that mimicked a snowy field. How great.
< How great. >
She echoed.

Alone, feeling like a queen on her throne, roamed the hacker called Thyra in the snowy fields. In such areas she could spend her entire life, watching the odd beauty of frozen crystals - or the binary equivalent of it. She'd have loved to see her breath forming clouds in the air if it could have been real, an envy she had on humans.
Watching her reflection in a mirrorlike frozen lake she could hear how data made his way towards her in a sound similar to crisping footsteps, and she tilted her head to see an Elder making her way. A smile cheered her face, glad to know she might have something 'useful' to do to her opinions. Pestering some wandering AI would defenatly make her day. Quickly she hopped up and made her way towards the intruder.
< What's so great? >, she replied coldly.
No greeting, no politeness. That's how she was to anyone aside from Terra.

The black Elder Hacker looked up from where her gaze had settled when she felt someone approaching her, and a very clear frown made its way across her features as this foppish adult dared to actually open its mouth and address her, rather rudely in her opinion.
This Adult Hacker had just made two very powerful mistakes, but it wasn't in the Elder's nature to point them out - just yet that is.
Turning so that she fully faced Thyra, she opened both of her eyes rather slowly, allowing the hacker before her to take in the sight. One eye, the left eye, was a sharp glowing red and made a deep contrast to her right eye, which softly let out a white color.
< Wouldn't you like to know? >
Her voice was hard, almost as hard as the ice and snow that was generated around her, and with a sickening expression of a snake looking at a mouse as prey, Uso grinned.

Thyra stared emotionless to the Elder. Did she had odd eyes. She'd knew of colourful eyes, but to have such a difference in both of them was the first time she ever saw. Yet odd as the eyes were, she had hard to break contact.
< So it seems, yes. That was my question after all >, she replied ignoring the fact she was talking to an Elder.
The generation of ice hadn't left her unnoticed. As an ice elemental - the only one as far she was concerned - it didn't affect her. Actually, it facinated her that someone else had the effect of ice within her, but of course the white hacker wouldn't tell them that.

< It's rude to stare you know. >
Almost as suddenly had the ice and snow been generated it disappeared, flashing from the area with enough speed that a wave of 'heat' could have almost been felt as well. Immediately all the snow and winter scene of the area, which had probably always been that way, vanished and was replaced by a simple white room with four walls and no doors or windows.
She'd hacked into this area so easily, so effortlessly, and it made Uso wonder if she was truly getting better or things weren't well made unless that stupid Rabbit Man created them. When she and her brother had tried before to take a system done by that man, it took both of them hours to complete it and even then they could only do a fraction of what they'd wanted.
But not, perhaps she was stronger. If she could destroy a field like this so simply, then when she and her brother were joined once more, what was there to stop them?
< You should also learn your manners, and know to whom you speak. >
It wouldn't surprise Uso if the young, stupid (as she felt it) Adult Hacker before had no idea who she was. The Twins were kept away from others for that very reason, so they could be used at the utmost.

Thyra snapped out of her stare and blinked. Those eyes didn't leave her mind however. She had the feeling that it was some kind of mark, a way of the Hacker to identify herself - and alltogether make her unique - but she had no clue if she ever had seen them before. Probably not, as she rarely bothered the looks of anyone else.
Not long after she snapped out of the stare, the entire area quickly dissapeared to a rather boring fourwalled area. It didn't please her, that her beloved snowed area was gone for something dull as this. It didn't please her at all, even if she knew the Elder was far too strong to oppose in a hacking duel. Even if it was merely a glimp, it pretty much looked like the hacker knew exactly what she was doing.
< Ooh. Is the Elder offended for the lack of a few words? Yet she doesn't bother to ask anyone if the snow had to be cleared up. What was that about manners? >

Uso didn't come out and speak in return to Thyra's clearly provoking words, as instead she simply turned her gaze around the area to get a better insight of what she'd accomplished. Simply by changed two lines of binary had she gotten this white room, and it didn't satisfy her in the slightest.
< Too easy. Far too easy. >
She continued to speak to herself, still ignoring Thyra and her manners. It may have seemed like she was feeling apathetic, but in reality Uso was doing her best to try and hold of from hacking away at this other Hacker.
The methods of doing so were rather crude, and she'd been warned to never touch another after an incident that left her Twin nearly deleted, yet she found the idea of taking the chance on this chatty snow witch a bit too much to pass up.
But, her mind chided, if she did it now she would be putting her Twin in danger wherever he was. If one of them went noticed, the search for the Other was bound to happen shortly after.
< You, bite your tongue or I'll gladly remove it for you. >

It seemed being rude didn't help much. The unknown hacker ignored as much as she tended to ignore others. It would sound odd, but that didn't offended the hacker at all; it made her search for another strategy instead - that is, if she hadn't started to wonder who this odd Elder actually was.
< Heh. Alrighty then. Whatya looking about? There's nothing more left than an endless fourwalled plain now. Have you never seen one before perhaps? >
The odd comment about cutting her tongue made her wonder how that would feel. She couldn't really imagine feeling any 'pain', but the thought of having 'her tongue removed' didn't sound as pleasant neither. It made her feel rather... ignorant about herself and Hackers.

< . . . >
Uso's silence was translated into dots that floated above her head, and she cursed the sometimes stupid nature that the Internet had towards interpreting whatever was being said. A simple smile often prompted an emoticon, or whatever it was called, and anything else was either prompted into symbols or numbers. Simple chat, of course, stayed as it should.
< As I told you, either shut up or be shut up. I'm not interested in someone like you and all you are serving to do is irritate me. >
The Elder Hacker really did not have the patience to explain what she was looking at, which was the different codes that floated about this area in their binary glory. Thanks to her red Eye, and to her hours and hours of skill, seeing something like the code wasn't completely out of Uso's spectrum of ability, though she didn't like to brag on it.
The girl was strangely modest over some things, that was for sure.
< There. Now . . . >
Uso broke a moment of silence by speaking once more, and as her words finished the white walls of the room suddenly because dark red in places with a distinct style that mimicked only one thing - blood splatter. It'd been tricky for her to get the code right to make this unique pattern appear, but not that difficult.
< You were saying something? >

She looked around as the environment changed, and her eyes widened. What kind of sick area was this? Of course, blood to her was nothing more but imagination, but the pictures she had seen before were scary in their own way. She couldn't help but shiver slightly at the sight, yet before she replied she took back her arrogant self again.
< You really must be deaf >, she said eyeing the hacker rather uncaring. < Who are you anyway? >
Thyra wasn't about to leave without any question answered. She wanted to know who or why this hacker was spoiling her pretty ice-covered area. It had taken her quite a long time to set it all up, and this stranger destroyed it in the blink of an eye.

Uso's patience was wearing thin, quite thin, as Thyra seemed to still be content to float around her and badger her using stupid questions with an insult or two. Still, Uso knew the rules of not touching or damaging another Hacker.
Not while her Twin was on a mission, not while there were things that could be put in jeopardy.
So once again she chose to ignore the insult, but did offer to give up her name. At least, a name that more suited the meaning of her real one.
< I suppose I am a bit deaf, as I tend to be able to tune out the sounds of lesser beings. But I will give you my name - it's Anakin. >
Boy, how did she pick that one up?

She smiled at first glad to hear a name, but in second reaction she sighed.
< Anakin? That's a boy's name... >
She wondered why someone would give a boy's name to a girl. She was a girl, right? Now, it could always be possible someone didn't got the difference between genders, but Thyra wasn't that stupid to plainly believe such an oddity.
< Seriously now. I can't believe you'd get a boy's name, lady. I'm Thyra. So, what's yours now? >
Her eyes shifted to the blooded walls once more. Not long, as she really didn't like them.

< Who are you to say that it's not my real name? My Master wanted to name me after his favorite character in a movie he watched, so I was named Anakin. There is nothing wrong with that. >
Her lies spun deeper as she spoke, her eyes focused now once more on the code that floated about the area. The single white line that ran through the red eye seemed to rotate itself to different angles as she inspected each binary chain, though this motion happened rather slowly. Uso was taking her time on whatever came next, and the constant added chatter of someone she was hoping to delete soon didn't seem to help in the least.
< For as your name goes, I wouldn't be putting words about others before you look at your own. It may mean something in some other language, but to the vast speaks of the common tongue it simply sounds like a name given to a - >
She didn't specify what was to come next, instead opting to finish speaking and focus more on the task at hand. Revamping this area had become her work and interest for the moment, and Uso decided that if this 'Thyra' chose the option of speaking once more than she chose the option of forfeiting her tongue...or her being entire. Whichever came first.

Of course, her name had a meaning. Thyra knew what it meant, but had actually no clue where she got it or who gave it to her. Since the attack of Cheshire, she had lost parts of her past.
As she half listened to Tsuki's words, she watched her eye going into all different directions. Once more the hacker agreed that 'Anakin' had odd eyes and she was almost affirmative that the white-lined eye was something special.
Looking into the direction of where the eye went, she couldn't see anything else but blooded walls once more. Peering a little deeper, she caught shards of code - totally different than those of her iced area - but couldn't hold them long enough to see anything specific about them. Was the Elder searching for something in those lines?
< It means Tyr. Norse God of War and Justice. >
She hadn't meant to say it out loud, rather as a thought, but forgot that cyberspace's chat rather neglected such things. Quickly realising the bubble, she deleted it and asked a question.
< Why are you so interested in this code? It's nothing more but cyberspace. Aren't computers much more interesting to hack? >

< I'm not interested in this code, I'm actually...working on finding a c***k in yours. >
Uso's words were slow, like she was either lagging or taking her time in speaking, and it turned out to be more of the second as she'd turned her attention away from the area and towards the Hacker that still remained by her side, speaking.
She was fed up, end of story, and was going to have to risk the chance that her Twin could be caught and punished for whatever actions she took. It was a risk she was more than willing to take at this point in time, as even though Thyra hadn't meant any harm (perhaps) in her constant badgering of questions, Uso wasn't in any mood to associate with others.
She never was in a mood to associate with others, actually, but that was beside the point.
< I wouldn't move if I were you, as I've got hold of a rather interesting piece of you. I'd let you take a gamble as to what it is, but that would ruin the surprise of it disappearing when you decide to try and talk again or run away from me. >
It wasn't a false threat or statement, as Uso did have hold of a chain that worked around in inside Thyra. The Adult Hacker near her would be feeling a chill of unease if she felt anything at all, and that made Uso smile a little more.
