Averie chills at the back of the group while Elliot rings the door, examining her nails while their fearless leader takes charge. It was the moment of truth, shattering all expectations when a Russian bear answered the door. She looked up and really, really wanted to see what happened if you braided the hair and beard together. Like, really, really badly. If you had gloves. Back to Top   Eliott Knight Mentor Intelligence Go away. [send pm] Joined: June 2014 Posts: 2,255 Who's the other half?

But she quickly realizes that isn't 'Hyde' at all. Especially not with that accent. "Uh...hi. Sorry to bother you...I was looking for...Hyde Kuhnyokoo?" A for effort. « Last Edit: Jan 21, 2017 21:24:34 GMT -6 by Eliott Knight » Back to Top   Mike Daniels Mentor Defense I don't need you to believe in me [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Posts: 1,882 Who's the other half?

He'd look to see if he could see an address or apartment number. Maybe they found the wrong place? Back to Top   Mike Mark Rydell Mentor Intelligence I'd rip you apart.

Mark puts in helpfully. Mike can see it's the same address! The man frowns. "Hide can't be here, they don't let him out. He's too violent, so he has to stay in the Vault."

The blue-haired girl doesn't seem perturbed that someone else answered the door. Nothing had been said about a roommate or partner that she'd seen, but anything was possible. What was wrong with these people? Rolling her eyes, she takes a step forward, but daddy's little girl seems to be able to keep a hold on things. At least here's hope for her. "Next time just tell him we're selling girl scout cookies," she muttered to Mark. Back to Top   Eliott Knight Mentor Intelligence Go away.

I mean that answers about five things. He's not here. He's a meta. A CRIMINAL. HE'S VIOLENT. Aaaaaand she basically has to go meet him in meta prison. Nice choice, moms.

Averie's somewhere between a cackle and mental facepalm, both expressions trying to take over at once. She gives a slow clap to the revelation about Elliot's daddy, mentally agreeing with teh girl. Real winner there, ladies and gents. "Looks like whatever evolutionary flaw happened worked for you," she snarked at the other girl. Though, a good point was brought up. It looked like they were going to have to look closer to home for the detective work to be done. Back to Top   Eliott Knight Mentor Intelligence Go away.

This was...unbelievable. "Wait..." She snaps her attention back on Vlad, not even sure where to start with what he means by re-hospitalized. "I know you...you worked at Paradigm.

Averie cocked her head to one side, waiting for the confusion to pass. The drama bomb kept having ripples and it was amazing. So this one worked with the kindergardeners, huh? Well, he'd probably be glad to know that next to no one was injured then, including those kiddos. Averie's gaze flicked back to Elliot, wondering if the girl had been one of them while he worked there. Little bonding sprees everywhere. Back to Top   Eliott Knight Mentor Intelligence Go away.

Eliott points back to Averie. "She almost made it." So she's more like an intern right now. "'Kuni' is my...ughhh...my biological dad." Since they seem to be friends if he visits him, maybe Vlad will have something to offer.

Seriously, had they not heard of timing? Other than that, she says nothing. It's nothing that actually has to do with her. She starts letting her eye wander to the rest of the the neighborhood and building, looking for anything that will hold her attention. Back to Top   Eliott Knight Mentor Intelligence Go away.

It's in fact incredibly close to the ruins of Paradigm! Walking distance and everything. "No! No. He was the sperm donor my mothers chose..." She's fearing imagining life with that scary criminal as an actual dad.

At least it's close. Maybe she'd swing by and kick some more rubble later. Ring around the rosey, explanations left and right and everywhere again and again and-- She can't resist. She didn't even try. The moment Mark showed even more confusion over the donor thing, Averie pounched on it. She sidled up next to him with a serious expression and a nod. "She had to be genetically altered." She knows better than that, but if he had to ask, he was fair game. Back to Top   Mark Rydell Mentor Intelligence I'd rip you apart.

"What if she was supposed to be super strong? Or blonde?" Averie has no idea what either of Elliot's mothers look like. The fact the other girl was just standing there, letting things get awkward was on her. This guy wasn't going to give her the reassurance she apparently needed to get on with her life, so why were they still hanging around?
