Also, finally pummeling my muse into working on some of the backstory stuff that she's been slacking on. Can't do anything with Meris and Keisha until she wins her ONS, so been working on Hallows and Nyx. I only vaguely remember discussing a plot, something that had to do with a coffee shop or something, since Nyx is pretty active for a vampire and Hallows frequents such places where he has a better chance of finding targets. So I went with that and here's what I have in my brain thus far.
It's an overcast day and Nyx is out and about since there's no direct sunlight to cause her discomfort. She decides to duck into a bookstore with an attached cafe, and I don't know if she drinks and eats normal foods so she could be there for a drink or just to look at books. She's either browsing a bit or sitting down and sipping a drink and people watching, when she notices something odd. She can hear the thoughts of others, but something seems off. She ponders it, then notices the numbers don't match up. She looks around a bit closer, and notices the black-and-orange stranger, and realizes she can't get a read on him at all. Now from here my ideas branch off a bit into different ways this could go down. The first thought I had is that, extremely curious about this stranger, Nyx decides to approach Hallows and starts up a conversation. Depending on the types of questions she asks he'll try to lead her away from the cafe section to a more private spot in the store where they can't be overheard, or he'll just smile, excuse himself, and slip off. That bit kind of falls into my second thought, with Nyx watching the stranger, trying to decide whether to go up to him and talk to him, but before she can make up her mind he looks up, catches Nyx watching him, then smiles and slips away. Regardless he's going to make up a polite excuse and try to get away, no matter what Nyx tells him about herself, because he's not much interesting in socializing no matter how good his manners and personality seem. And now I'm back to two paths. I don't really know how Nox behaves, whether she sticks close to Nyx and hides on her person when in public or if she flits about and finds her own spots to watch. Plus not sure how they communicate, so I'm going off guesswork here. My first idea is that as Hallows leaves Nyx is watching him closely still, maybe even following him a bit, still very much curious, and she either spots a bat flying to Hallows or Nox mentions another bat was in the area. The second thought was that in the middle of Hallows walking to the door (or while he's making excuses to her, if he pulls her away to talk, trying to make her think he's normal), Nox suddenly chimes in that she's spotted another bat. Eve is also an AI so Nyx couldn't pick up anything from her either. Since Eve is basically an extension of Hallows self and her survival is tied to his, they can communicate wirelessly, though the signal loses strength with distance. Eve would warn Hallows if she spotted Nox, and Hallows would hasten to get out of there.
Regardless of the path, I was thinking this would pretty much cement Nyx's interest in the stranger, if not for himself then for the enigma he presents to her.
After that not sure how they'd meet again, because I'm guessing at how much her fascination would drive her. I dunno if she'd actually start looking around, or just lurk at that one bookstore/cafe, but I figured even if she does look around she'd haunt other similar places in the hopes that he might pop up again. Not sure how Nox would help her, if at all, but I'm guessing she probably would too. And thus a pattern emerges. She will eventually find Hallows again, though if she waits at the same store only then she'll be waiting a while since he's a cautious fellow. When she does finally spot him I see her kind of ambushing him so he can't run off like last time. Since Hallows doesn't like to stand out and he realizes that Nyx isn't going to let things go and he'll likely run into her again, he'll try to hustle her off again so that they can go to less public places, like parks or busy streets where no one would bother listening in on them anyway, so she can get her curiosity out of her and leave him be. But his answers probably won't satisfy Nyx much, since he either will be evasive or will outright tell her he can't answer. If she asks when she can chat with him again he'll try to plan actual outings together so she doesn't ambush him at a bad moment. And thus a kind of friendship would start up. Just from associating with him Nyx will probably observe more of his habits and oddities. Eventually, once he's spent enough time in her company, his mask might slip a bit. She'll see the flashes of how disconnected he is from humanity, and his lack of true emotional responses. If she comments on it at first the mask will come up and she'll get not-answers and subject-changing, but as they get closer, while he won't tell her the truth, he'll at least tell her that he won't tell her about it just yet instead of being evasive. Eventually, if she doesn't figure it out beforehand, he'll tell her he's an AI.
[6/7/2015 11:46:05 PM] Jinx: This is about where Muse putters out, because she needs a bit of input from Nyx. Like how Nyx responds to all of this so far, if any of it actually fits in with how she acts. How she feels about Hallows as first, as things progress, and eventually how she feels learning he's an AI. Or how she puts it all together, if she learns it before he mentions it, because he's going to be really careful to make sure she /doesn't/ notice anything off until he's ready to say anything.
Nyx can eat normal food, she's the type of vampire thats born as a vampire instead of made/undead, and yeah I can see nyx sitting there and debating on whether or not to come up. Nox likes to fly off occasionally if its a cloudy day so I can see her pinging up that there is another bat in the area and then going to hide some where on nox. While at first nyx probably wouldnt try to find Hallows but Nox would be happy that there is another bat and convince Nyx that she should try to find them again.
and its close enough to Nyx. She'd start out trying to be friendly and patient as she could because hey new person to talk to and hey its more fun because she cant read him.
she might also eventually ask why he's different from humans, although she'd be accepting of his need to put it off in telling her. Since she doesnt make too many friends she'd try to be understanding and patient. She might not put it together that he's an Ai but she'd definitely figure out that he's not really of the human persuation. She wouldnt bring it up though because she herself doesnt like to advertise the fact that she's a vampire
-rolling Nxy and Hallows around in her head again- I'm trying to picture how he'd tell her he's an AI. I don't see it just slipping out of nowhere, because when he tells her he'll tell her in detail just what it is he's made for and what he does. A lot of confusion from his muse comes from his emotional state. He can feels things and does have physical reactions to situations, like how any regular body would be affected. But none of it really goes deep, since his brain is a computer and deals with logic. Like he knows what happens to the body during an emotional reaction, but it's his computer that causes his reactions, not any kind of chemical releases. Like he does experience emotion, but since it's all electronic signals and logic so the feelings never go deep or last long. He does get occasionally "broody" about people, because their behaviors sometimes disgust him. Mostly things like greed or hurting others for pleasure or gain, stuff like that, even if he himself is in the realms of neutral. He'd probably mention him being an AI and all of that whenever he's having a moment of anger or something similar, and would tell all this stuff to Nyx in the hope that it might finally drive her off since he would probably still believe her to be human. Not sure how she'd respond to all of it, but I'm assuming it doesn't drive her off. He wouldn't tell any lies in his explanation, just tell it all in a way that makes it sound worse than it really is. I think he would put the most emphasis on his neutrality and how people are only a means to an end for him rather than holding any true affections for them.
[12:32:08 AM] Nasai: Well he definitely wouldnt be able to drive her off because she definitely recognizes that tatic, and he needs to do a lot worse to loose her friendship. She might be a little phased at the whole people are a means to an end but she'd shake it off because she knows of a lot more malicious Vampires in her life. She might also reveal she's not human as well.
-Nyx and Hallow- That would probably mark a point where Nyx would see everything Hallows really is. And not much would change on the surface of things. She'd learn that he's made to be a hacker, him and Eve, and that he hacks and steals to survive. What he wouldn't say, and that she'd have to learn from questions or observation, is that he doesn't steal from just anyone, only those who have a bit extra, and he never takes more than he needs. And his needs actually aren't all that much. She might also notice just what he means when he says people are only means to an end. He can't understand people, hates and admires them at the same time, but all he could never connect with them so all they ever were to him where the means he used to stay alive. I don't know if she'd ever ask him what that makes her to him then, since she's clearly not providing him anything he needs to live. I think at first he would just look at her, then claim he doesn't really know either, as it's something of a first for him. And he really wouldn't know either, would have to do a bit of sit-down-and-really-think kind of things, trying to figure out the answer. He wouldn't have an answer for her for some time, time in which Muse isn't sure if there should be stuff happening or just leave it as a blank. Eventually his answer is that because he can be himself around her, no barriers, no lies, no pretending, something he's never been able to do around others because they find it just too strange, his reactions (or lack thereof) behaviors unnerving others so much that they run off if those sides of him slip out.
I think Nyx would pick up on a good chunk of that only because she'd look at some of his actions again now that she has new understanding of her friend. She'd want to ask, but she'd be afraid of the answer. I can see Nox pushing her into asking....(because a vampire bat is always a good plot enabler XD) but she'd deifnitely add that he didnt have to answer it if he didnt want to, when she got his answer, it would definitely make her really really happy.
[1:13:18 AM] Jinx: lol Eve's not much of an enabler, though she doesn't have much sympathy for some of the plights of thought Hallows goes though. Probably because a lot of her job has to do with /doing/ things, so she doesn't have much patience. If anything she's more logical-minded than Hallows and has no real personal opinions at all. She'd make a Vulcan proud XD
How things progress from there would depend more on Nyx, I think, and what she'd want their relationship to be. Not sure if something would have to happen to give them a push out of the friend-zone, or if her mind is already partially there already by that point.
hmmm there would probably have to be a push but I can see that coming from nox, where they're just sitting aorund at home and nyx is talking about something she did that day and then nox finally having enough and just dive boming poor nyx's hair and fluffing it up with a vengeance until her silly vampire gets it through her head. Meanwhile just yelling things about nyx's feelings... of course she'd probably be a bit awkward the next time she met, and she'd probably eventually tell Hallows how she felt, but she's perfectly fine with staying friends if he didnt have any feelings because she wouldnt want to loose a friend.
[2:14:56 AM] Jinx: Nyx & Hallows - Hallows response might seem like a bit of an anticlimax after all the hair fluffy Nyx would have had to go through XD He'd probably stare for a few moments, then c**k his head to the side and say he already admitted as much that she's a special case among organics, vampire or not. He's already told her about himself, what he is and how that affects his ability to feel emotions and such, and that if she decided she wants to be with him like that anyway then he has no objections. He would then probably make things more awkward by asking if they're ever out doing that "date" thing, is he still allowed to hack stuff? Cause there's lots of places where it's better to be seen as a couple than as a single. I'm hoping Nyx is already comfortable with how little he seems to feel emotionally, cause otherwise he might have just friend-zoned himself hard with that speech XD
Nyx would probably smile fondly having expected an answer like that, even if Nox is all poofed up and pouting with the thought "These people are all silly", Nyx would also definitely be okay if he ended up hacking people if they ended up going on dates. AS for the feels Nyx would be okay with it after all she knew that was part of his personality and she's never liked some one to any extent before so it'll allow her to figure out how she wants to go about things too
For Nyx and Hallows, I'm ready to call them good if you are : 3 Sounds like all the big stuff is good to go, and anything else is just little details for filling in.
[2:49:17 AM] Nasai: lol yep I think they're pretty set XD
