Thanks for the follow, I appreciate it! :D
//Of course, doctor.//
"Back in my universe, I had four minions. Together we created what we call the Council of Darkness. We five work together to shroud worlds in darkness and pain, wiping out anything that defies us. Heh, that was before I came to this universe, now we're different."
//Different you say?// How so?//
Intruder Detected. Confirm FoF Status. Friend/Foe?
//Friend.//
Register the “friend” as a member of Layered? Y/N?
// That’s your call… Member or guest?//
"Well I don't blame him. Of course, I think that this form might be useful, it has many properties that my other form doesn't have, and a few adjustments." *He lets out another chittering chuckle* "I wonder how my minions would react to my transformation."
//You have minions?// That’s certainly a new one…//
"That last human didn't seem to like me, but now that you think about it, I do sort of look like a robot." *Another drop of black liquid falls from the fangs, and dissipate into black mist the moment it touched the floor* "Except for that."
//Trafalgar is actually one of my best infantry men. // He fought the traitor’s legion, and even after losing his entire squad in an artillery barrage he was able to complete his objective.// He was probably just startled by the transformation…//
"You don't say." *He pauses for a moment* "How would you think the inhabitants of Layered would react to my appearance? I'm sure they won't welcome me with open arms."
//About 60% of them work in manufacturing facilities, about 10% are scientists, and the rest are military, whether Pilot, Operator, or just foot soldier.// I’m sure they wont mind your presence as much as you think they will.//
*He skitters in, his legs not making a single sound (despite his large size)* "One of the many reasons why I prefer to be a spider is because my aura has changed along with the transformation. It used to sap the warmth and comfort around me, now it is a poison. Anything surrounding me will weaken and die, mostly plants. I have control in my spider form, but not in my shadow form. It tends to be slow, so anything around me needs to be near me for a few minutes before it takes affect."
//I think you’ll find that unless you’re in a residential layer, that wont be a problem. // If you kill me, I’ll just have a clone of me made, and download my consciousness into that one.// In case you haven’t noticed, I am not a normal human.//
*He examines the elevator, seeing if its big enough for him (since he is the size of a car)*
*the elevator is designed to accomodate Normals and Nexts: they are giant mechs, averaging in size from 7 meters to 12*
*He gives a chittering chuckle as the human runs off, he turns back to you* "Hmmm, sounds interesting. You have no need to worry about me, if I wished and of you harm, I would've attacked already."
//I’m sure that would be an interesting fight…// Anyway, lets go into layered. // *he opens the door and enters the elevator, waiting for you*
*The shadow jumps out of the ground, takes shape, and solidifies. In front of you is a giant metal spider the size of a car (carriage?). Its metallic body is a dark red with a an image of a purple fanged human skull on its abdomen. Its eight glowing red eyes of light look at you, its fangs dripping a black liquid that dissipates into black mist the moment it touches the ground. Its voice is dark and metallic, and even more insectile* "I'm afraid I don't know what 'Layered' is."
*trafalgar freaks the hell out and runs back into the main elevator that leads to Layered*
//Layered is our base.// An underground city with a population of over 2000 people, a couple hundred AI weapons, 5 sentient AI’s, and of course, The Controller.//
"One of my artifacts called the Flask of the Spider is the culprit, sadly I have to wait from several days to several weeks before it wears off. Would you mind if I take my physical form? Being a shadow is okay, but I prefer to take my true form. Of course, that's the form that was transformed. For some reason I cannot change it back to normal."
//I have no problem with you transforming.// So… Do that, and follow us to Layered.//
You want to take him to layered!? What if he’s an enemy?!
//For the last time, Trafalgar.// Shut up. //
