Welcome to Gaia! ::

:::Seeing how upset she is, Kal places his hands on her shoulders and begins to lead her toward the bar.::: Its alright, lets just sit down and we can try to figure this out...::: Kal knew the Brink does wierd things, but this may be taking it a little too far:::

:::I wonder... the captain wouldn't do anythign with out a good reason Kal, lost in his own thought, felt that there was something more to this. Though he has a limited knowledge of the brink, he does know than no one should be held captive for any reason. The whole issue did not sit well with Kal at all.:::

He never told you why he couldn't let you go back?

This isnt makeing much sense Cora, he said he "anticipated" you becoming a machine of some sort?.. :::Closing his eyes for just a moment to take in what Cora had just said, he fades out of the brink:::

The lumbering Beast that is Kane slowly fades into the Brink, his head turned down as if to shield his eyes from the blazing sun that had only moments before been scorching the earth around him for miles. The sudden lack of light and heat, along with the addition of chairs, tables, though odd continuity of hardwood flooring from what had once been a house he was walking through confounded him greatly. At first he thought he had fallen into a dream or the sun had exploded, both terrors alieved when his eyes began to focus, ever so slowly. If the sun exploded or he was in a dream, there wouldn't be a bar. Well, in a dream there might...but it'd usually have a whore around somewhere.

((Its so hard to resist putting 'j0' instead of any other greeting from Kane, you realize that?))

Kane still hadn't fully adjusted to the darker realm that was the Brink, having to blink a few times before he could fully see who stood before him. When he got the general idea he smiled with that big toothy grin of his and seemed to perk up. His breath smelled odly of basil and wildflowers, though that predator's overtone was still there, "Now don'tchu be rrunnin again. I'm not going to hurt you, sson. I don't eat people...that I can remember. Jusst calm yoursself down. Look like ya need a drink." He turned to walk to the bar, "Yeah...maybe a few Gamma Gulpsss."

Kane glanced back at him, "Name'ss Johnathan Hunter. John if you prefer. Most uncivilized people know me as Kane. Though most uncivilized people don't get the chance to know that for very long." He poked around behind the bar and brought up several, nearly a dozen glowing green bottles, Gamma Gulp, "I'm just another military brat. I followed orders and well...this is what became of it. Damn genetic experiments. For the good of the Brotherhood my a**. I was just fine as a Steel Knight..." He began to return to Kal, one great clawed hand holding a single Gamma Gulp, though rather clumsily, while the rest clattered in his other hand.

Kane seemed to ponder that question for a moment...when was he from? He could only hardly remember. He offered Kal the single Gamma Gulp, putting it with the others if he declined, "I'm...not ssure. There wass a warr. Sspearss of nucelar fire fell from the sskiess and continentss fell beneathe boiling occeanss. Apocalypsse. I wander The Wasstess...musst be near the 22nd century. Not ssure. Everything iss getting blurry upsstairss." He tapped a claw to his temple, obviously indicating he was forgetting things in his solitude. He set several of the Gamma Gulp bottles down, gripping a fair few of them, not without a bit of difficulty, and the sound of shattering glass accompanied the necks coming clean off. It was the only way he could open them. "To the Old Government, those fornicating bastards ******** everything up, good thing they killed thsemlves over it." And to that, he drank.

Kane could just about smell Kal's fear/anxiety, which wouldn't actually be that far from the truth. Kane glanced around, "Thiss placce needss better chairss...I can't ssit in any of them." He glanced back to Kal, "You really need to calm down. I may have been engineered to rip tankss apart, but itss not what I do. Hate people alwayss giving me shitty lookss and acting wierrd cause of my facce...and...everything elsse. I'm a** human asss anybody elsse, ssimply with different sskin. I am John Hunter above all elsse, not thiss Beasst Kane."
