Looking to Expand [Joint training, w/Endsieg]

[Lorelei]

Going for CTP here hue.


IC Time:

Beep boop beep Human vehicles always make a lot of noise when she came around the town. More so when being the size of a paper bag in the wind. But that wasn't the issue. Well..... that was completely the issue. Lorelei didn't know much about the human world. She knew that it was very large, very big, and somewhat scary. Already she got carried off by a dog several times, and others by a little human girl. And here she thought she would die in her hands after all the hugging and squeezing she did. However, she somehow managed to survive it all as the larger humans were easily scared by the sight of a walking Doll. Soooooo, that put a damper on things. After all, she would stand out much more easily if a whole bunch of people would be screaming on hours upon hours. Geez, they sure do got lungs in them when it comes down to it. So, she had to keep to herself a lot and move when it was appropriate.

All that reason Lorelei was looking to put the pieces to her new body together. After all the pain and hard work, she almost has all the pieces that she requires. Yet it does seem that she is still missing a few more components. That was the reason why she was in the city again. Looking high and low, some of the missing pieces she been looking for were much more tricky to find in a large city. With what abilities she had to utilize, her turn ups turned out nothing. So, she had to try out another thing. Probably something stupid, but why not? She was a walking and talking stuffed animal. She only went on with what she was programmed into her Pill unit. Survival at this point in time. Survival and information were the two better options then running amok blindly.

Squeaking down the alleyways and away from the public eye, her reiatsu pulsed outwards from her body. She only hoped that the small wave of reiatsu might resonate with something of a spiritual nature. Like as if it worked. At least not on the first try. This was going to be an ongoing process that have her scouring the entire city inch by inch. While practical and tiresome it may be, it was also dangerous. Doing this sort of tact may attract attention of those who are also sensitive to the spiritual world. If an ordinary human were to look upon her while doing so, she may be deemed as a possessed Doll. Now that would be something of an issue to deal with. One that she wouldn't want to handle if it ever occurred. So rather not try to poke the trouble from it's dark corner. She did so more in the alleys to better seclude herself away from the public eye. There had to be a better way to go about it. At least for the time being as something was felt breathing down her backside.

Her tiny head plopped up, looking at a drooling dog that was looking at her so hungrily. Oh damn was the thought. If she could at least express herself. The only thing she could do at the time was just run for it. Like Hell she didn't want to be put into another dog house again. All the more reason when looking to the alleyway of the shopping district, the little stuffed bear came sprinting out, signing as loudly as she could with arms in the air. Turning the corner around several shops, she could hope that she could lose the depraved animal before it got it's paws and jaws on her.

It was late, and a perfect time to go out hunting for a new test subject. This very thought excited Endsieg, to think that out there would be a new test subject for him to experiment on and see what they could survive. Ahh the very thought of testing out new and fun drugs that he had in the lab would be a great way to end the week. Now where exactly should he go to find someone who would be worth experimenting on. Well it didn't matter it seemed as if he would get his answer soon enough as he felt a spiritual pulse echo out from a back ally. He smiled as he felt this, he knew that he had found his new test subject.



Walking towards where he felt the pulse from he saw two things. One was a wild dog which really wasn't all that interesting, the second thing however was a bit more interesting. It being a teddy bear running away from the wild dog. Even if it was a mod soul, those rather boring and uninteresting individuals. Still this did offer the chance for him to simply save it and then take advantage of it. It wasn't as if he felt sorry for the poor mod soul, no he would be sure to make use of it soon enough. Maybe even changing some of it's settings and personality. Twisting and bending it until it no longer is what it once was. Not as interesting as a living flesh and blood creature, but it will do.



Without warning the mod soul would hear the sound of thunder cracking followed by the sounds of a painful yelp coming from the dog. If it turned around it would see that the animal was now dead with a bolt of lighting ripping a hole straight through it's body so that it would take the longest route to kill it. Endsieg did love to hear the sounds of something die in pain and agony. It brought such joy. Now that the dog was dealt with it was time for the mod soul, or rather time to capture it.



He would walk towards it silently wearing his full uniform, with the devish grin across his face. If the mod soul did nothing it would soon find it's self in the hands of a man who was pale as snow and had a very eerie glow to him. There was no way around it, the moment someone saw him they would know that he was a failure, and one with very twisted morals and mentality. However if the mod soul kept running Endsieg would continue to chase it, after all there was a bit of fun in running after something so weak.


(for CTP)

[Lorelei]

Now, if it was possible to sweat, then Lorelei would have been doing that at this point in time. First, the dog was on her tail. Waddling as quickly as possible down the side walk, lots of people would be seeing the little Doll body fleeing for dear life. No strings attached, many suspected it be remotely operated. Awkwardly enough, Lorelei found the lots pleased and humored as the artificial life form ran for the sake of its own salvation. Little did Lorelei know that someone else came into the little chase with the dog. Or at least, replaced the rabid beast. A sharp welp immediately struck the air as the beast went down. Almost sighing for relief that someone put a stop to the creature before-...and she spoke too soon. Because now she had someone else who seemed just as rabid as the dog.

The body in which she possessed wasn't capable of expressing itself. So throwing it's arms in the air in panic would have to suffice. Not too long afterwards, the Mod Soul found herself running again. This person wasn't someone in which Lorelei felt as though she could trust. Hell, that look in his eyes told the story of a toy Bear doll being torn open with her stuffing being plotted outwards. Then restuffed and pulled open again. You know, that sort of Frankenstein gimmick and all. The only issue was one simple thing...........her legs were Hell of a lot shorter than that of an average human being. Lorelei had to think as she ran. It wouldn't be long before he caught up to the Mod Soul.

She rounded the corner, into an alley way. Trash cans and boxes filled with used newpapers and plastic bottles, there were only so little options that she could take in order to lose the human. Throwing herself into the trio of aluminum trash cans, the small Teddy Bear wrestled with her new found grounds to make herself as small as possible, inching bit by bit towards the center of the empty alley. Towards the end resided an emergency fire escape stair well that reached up to the roof of the adjacent building. All she had to do was really keep herself moving while being quiet at the same time. Though, it was little that she knew that the man wasn't an average human being. This human was one of the Quincy race, a superior human being. So escaping him would prove to be a bit more tasking than that of a wild dog.

Survival was key here. Stair well leading upwards, or continuing on towards the street at the opposite end. Lots of possibilities that she could have taken. However, to really escape a superior human being when being stuck inside a toy was the challenge. Fighting wasn't much of an option at this point in time. She didn't have access to her body yet while in the state that it was currently in. If she did, then this matter wouldn't pose much of a problem. Lorelei kept her reiatsu to a minimal. Shrinking what was already there to that of a small candle light. The stuffed animal crept away slowly from the towering trash cans in front of her. Each step taking her closer to the mountain of tossed out cardboard boxes. She had to think fast, or else the human would catch her. No telling what would happen then.

[Deleted]

It seemed that the little mod soul was a bit faster than he had expected, and was able to dodge the initial grabbing that he had tired to do. No matter given how small it was it wouldn't matter how fast it ran, he would be able to catch it in time and then the fun times could start. Maybe he should test how much pain it could take before it passed out. Being a mod soul it was utterly beneath him as a Failure, that meant all he was testing on was a wild animal, a stray pet that had wandered into the wrong area. Volker saw it simply wander around the corner if it wanted to run then he would gladly watch it run as he leasurly walked towards the same area.

Hearing the sounds of trash moving around in the alleyway his attention turned to the trash pile that was gathered up. Disgusting, trash thinking that it could hide it's self in trash. Disgusting but fitting, given what it was. It would take too much effort to clean through all the trash looking for the little mod soul so instead he would make it come out in plain view of him. Raising his fingers he pointed at the cardboard boxes and suddenly a crackle of thunder erupted from his finger tip striking several of the cardboard boxes.

Suddenly the boxes that were struck started to erupt into flames and burn away, the fire slowly making it's way toawrds the rest of the trash, if the mod soul was still in the trash the combination of the flames and smoke should make it come out into plain view for him to see. If it was stubborn it would soon find it's self engulfed in flames from the trash meaning that either it had to come out, or it would be burned alive and afterwords picking up the pill of the mod soul would be a simple task. This was the most effective way of getting a clear view of where the little thing had run off to.

“Come on out little one, I promise if you behave I won't hurt you, all I want to do is run a few tests on you, understand you a bit better. Come now you Untermensch it's time, if you don't the flames will burn you alive and we wouldn't want that now would we?” The glow of the flames resonated with his own pasty glow as he watched the fire continue to spread. It would only be a matter of time now, Volker hadn't noticed the stairwell that was near him just yet however so there was a slim chance of it actually being able to escape.

[Lorelei]

Oh great, what more was there that could make the whole thing much more difficult for her already? First being chased by a Dog, then by a crazed human, and now being cornered by a trash bin fire. Great, what more could make the day all the more worse for her? The little Mod Soul was vulnerable in this state. Not being able to access all of her strength and capabilities, what more was there for the Mod Soul to do but to run? That was what she had been doing all this time. Not much of a thinker to be honest, but at least able to put some thought into her predicaments to best survive them. Such as this current situation she found herself to be in.

The wind current passing through the narrow alleyway made it all the more easier for the fire to spread among the rest of the garbage. The blaze of it made it difficult to make out where the man was standing at. At least when it came to sight wise. Yet thankfully his mouth couldn't keep itself shut for a good while. At least that gave the Mod Soul some leeway to try and pinpoint his whereabouts. She already knew that he was on the other side of the growing fire. Pinpointing wasn't something that she was good at yet. A bit of training in her senses, and that would be all the more possible. But for now, she would have to make due with what she had already.

It couldn't be helped that her little hands had to touch the hot aluminum can. The heat transfer was much more than what she had expected when pushing up at a 45 degree angle with those stuffed mittens she called hands. It's heat manifested as a pair of black spots on her so called palms as she pushed upon that angle. The little strength she had was more than sufficient enough to topple the can with it's burning contents. Physical fighting was completely out of the question, but pushing and shoving she can still manage quite nicely. As such, this wouldn't be a problem to cause a spill of burning litter towards the man's feet. If not careful, then his clothing could catch on fire just as much as her own body could. With that little stunt, the small area of the alley would be set a blazed with burning garbage.

Rolls of paper and clutter, all combustible when exposed a bit longer to the heat of the fire. Soon, they too would be consumed by it. All in all giving her the opportunity to make a break for it all. Once the can came tumbling down, the Mod Soul made a break for it. Pouting down the alleyway with soft steps, Lorelei scurried along the wall to reach the downed stairwell. If her little stunt had worked, then she would be able to reach the bottom of the emergency fire escape without an issue. Gripping the first step, the tiny bear pulled herself to the next individual step, and so on. Only a temporary means of space before the man would shortly follow after. Very much a heavy predicament, which now made the Mod Soul wonder what she was going to do next?

[Deleted]

The roars of the flames continued to absorb the trash, and as it did he heard the soft sounds of some of the rubble roll out towards him. Not wanting to be burned by the flames nor getting his own clothing burned he took a few steps back and into the air, getting a bit of a better view of the whole thing. The heat and brightness of the flames would start to draw people in as well as eventual fire fighters. Volker didn't really want this and called out again to the mod soul. “Come out now and I won't let you die in the experiments.”

As his words echoed out he saw something in the darkness move towards something. He figured that it was the mod soul escaping from the trash fire, but where was it going? Down an empty alleyway that had no open end? By the time he did see what the mod soul step out of the trash was running towards it had already made it up the first step of the stairwell. Cleaver little thing, I can't wait to make it scream in pain and terror. Volker would stay there and watch as it struggled to climb up the second step.

So weak, yet it had a passion for life, this made it the perfect test subject for him. The amount of determination it had to not die right off the bat meant that once he started to experiment on the mod soul it wouldn't simply give up on it's life as he tortured the being into a state of madness and despair. The subjects that he had taken earlier this week gave up after only a few tests and allowed their wills to break and eventually lead to their death prematurely. Which was a bit of a disappointment for him that experiment was a good chance to get more information about quincies and how they had evolved.

No matter, now he had a mod soul that he could toy with. Slowly walking towards it he smiled, as he closed the gap between it and him. After landing on the ground once more, every step he took allowed the sounds of his boots echoed out towards the mod soul. It would know that he was toying with her and was clearly taking his time. If volker wanted to he could have gone right out towards the mod soul and attack in full strength. It would take Volker a few seconds to get to the mod soul and when he reached her he would reach out to grab her with his gloved hands.

[Lorelei]

The first step of the fire escape was reached. The tiny arms buckled for a moment before pulling the stuffed body upwards to rest the furry legs on it. Things were getting more and more real. The issues that she had before as a stuffed animal were becoming all the more relevant here now. Too small to really cover and distance, and too weak to really put up a fight. All that Lorelei can do is scurry about. Despite the Mod Soul being just a stuffed animal, no nerves to really feel the pain, the thought of the pill being at risk wasn't something that was thought of fondly. The risk was too great for her to put her faith into a manic like this guy. Plus,..... actually there was no plus to this. Judging on how he was acting, the determination and speech he gave off, there was no way in Hell that Lorelei was going to trust the human.

His eyes were just as hungry as the damned Dog. So Hell to the no about it all. Lorelei wouldn't mind taking the alternative route when it came to deciding a means of ridding herself of the stupid alleyway. So, up the stairs it was. The human closed the distance quickly. Quite natural of course considering his legs were so damn long compared to her own. Every four or five steps for her was pretty much equaled to a single one of his. The amount of noise that came from the road behind them covered up the racket that was made in the alley. Though it wouldn't be long before the fire caught wind and blown into the public street. Some passer byers would just ignore the tedious noise with those who came to on look made the call for Emergency services. But even that would take some time as the flames began to spread among the trash heap.

As for the little Mod Soul, well she was climbing up still. Up the second and third step, the playful man continued to march forward. Seemingly playing with her it didn't take him a few seconds to even reach the first step. Hell, if he wanted to he could just reach outwards to close the remaining distance. But that'll mean over extending himself at a forty-five degree angle upwards. The Mod Soul immediately changed gears as she fled up to the guarding rail, using the narrow slope up wards to remove the extra effort. Instead of huffing and puffing up each large step, Lorelei would shuffle her way upwards along the thin series of supporting rods that held up the railing. So it meant that she would be finding herself shuffling slowly but surely. She had to keep some distance between herself and the human man.

After reaching the next set, the human would be hot on her heels........if she had them. But the position she was in was still the same nonetheless. It was either give up, go through the window sill that led into the apartment complex beside the staircase, or continue more upward. Looking how things looked, she needed more space between them. Lorelei honestly didn't have time to think. Up the stairs it was. And boy did Lorelei had to move. She could already feel the man's hand right on her ass. Gripping the support pole after the other, the Teddy Bear figure continued to escalate, shifting along the guard rail. She had to keep moving while the guy himself would be taking easy streak. Only after reaching the third set of stairs, did the Mod Soul realize that the little game of tag would come to an end if she didn't change it up. Thus, she threw herself into the open window parallel to the third level. If she managed to make it in, then their setting would change completely as they entered into an apartment kitchen of one of the residents.

A small table with two seats on both ends of the square shaped stall. Black and white tiled flooring with pale white ceramic shelves with a wooden furnishing for the cover tops. Knives decorating a single wall with a miniature sink on the far left side upon entering through the window. The brown shelve covers and wide area made it easy to hide, including when adding in the additional rooms that led further into the home. This would make for an interesting game of tag indeed.

[Deleted]

Volker continued to stroll up the stairwell at a moderate pace making sure to let the little mod soul know that he was coming and that no matter what it did eventually he would get her. He knew that the modsoul was in his grasp if he ran, but that wouldn't be as much fun as to cause terror into the little thing. Each step he made sure to put enough force behind it to make the sound of his step echo upwards and shake the metal stairwell. The clang of the stairwell caused some of the onlookers of the fire to look upwards, but they wouldn't see anything given that he was a spiritual based being and the mod soul was too small to pick out this far away from the roaring flames.

He watched the mod soul jump from the stairwell into an open window nearby. A rather funny and pitiful excuse of a jump at that, but one that would be successful. He smiled before unleashing another bolt of lighting aimed right at the modsoul's leg while it was jumping mid air. With the mod soul in mid air and the bolt of lighting coming out of nowhere Volker was sure that the blast would hit the mod soul and severing it's leg if not damaging it badly making it's chance to escape all that much harder.

Looking into the apartment that the mod soul jumped into he saw that it was rather plain and boring. A normal looking home that didn't have that much to offer in true value. Those that lived here were probably struggling to get by in life, but that wasn't his issue. If anything he could help make their short and pointless lives worth something if only for a moment before they would expire on his table after being made into nothing more than a pile of meat and bones. Yet what they could yield because of it would be worth more than

Volker would take his time as he entered in through the open window, making sure not to cut himself as he entered the building. He didn't want to essentially end his life because of a simple scratch here on some splintered wood. “Come now little one~ we have much to do, playing hide and seek won't help your leg get any better~ let me fix that for you.” Volker spoke out to the mod soul as it was hiding in the room by now. He really didn't want to waste too much time looking for it in here, but then hear heard a sound that allowed him to smile.

The cries of a small child, he could hear it echoing out crying for it's mother. “Oh look at that a small child, crying for it's mother. I guess I should help silence it~” Volker headed towards the kitchen knives and slowly picked one up with his hands looking at how sharp they were and if it would make a clean cut. “I guess if I can't play with you, I'll go after the other little one.” Slowly Volker started to walk out of kitchen and towards the sounds of the crying child. Making sure that his humming could be heard as he did so waiting to see if the mod soul would actually do something to stop him from going after the child with a knife in hand.

[Lorelei]

A chard leg and having to stay silent about it all. Now things were looking to be even more terrible than she first realized. Well, not really since she couldn't feel any pain. A shot of energy ran through the upper stuffing of the Doll's leg section, punching a rather big hole in the appendage. Now this was going to make running a bit more difficult. Geez, more like she was gonna have to limp her way out. Fortunately enough, the man wasn't really poking around the small unit. Peeking from beneath the sink's cabinet, the tiny beaded eye skimmed the scene, watching for the brazen human. Didn't take long really to hear him, and to see him out in the opening of the kitchen area. Even more so, that the noise made by a smaller human made it more apparent how the man would come to treat her if caught. Like that was going to happen.

Watching the man speak as he made his way to the other end of the area, seemed oddly enough that he would think that a human's life would spark some action out of her. Fat chance like that would happen. Her programming to self-preserve was still active. Not a possibility that the Mod Soul would really care for a Human being. Sure, Lorelei was really created to help protect the World of the Living, but only in cases revolving spiritual beings; like Hollows. Seeing that the man was one of flesh and bones, it didn't pertain to her what he would do to other humans. That was their issue not hers. Not only that, protecting humans now wasn't the reason for being in the city. Plus, the Mod Soul felt no reason to really do so either.

So while the human was more concerned in drawing out some kind of higher cause reaction out of the Doll, he was in for a rude awakening. Her pair of bead like eyes watched, observing, and waited until the human man was out of the room. Only then did the Mod Soul make her move. Once he did, she went straight for the oven. Climbing steadily up the drawers one handle at a time. Each little motion made was soundless. Like really, anyone ever hear cotton make a sound? Rubber got nothing on this Mod Soul's movements. The only thing that sucked about this was turning the dial for the oven's gas. No spark needed, just the gas. With no fingers to use, the small figure had no choice but to use both hands to really turn the contraption. Standing over the edge with one broken leg wasn't easy, which was why she had to crouch before turning it. Four little turn dials on the "ON" position was all that the Mod Soul would ever need to begin filling the apartment unit with gas. Well, besides the open window that helped to vent it all out. Grrr.

Thankfully for the Mod Soul that she didn't need air to help her stay alive. All that she required was to make sure that her true form wasn't damaged. So, she could risk taking some hurt before having to worry about it. And further on the plus side, she doesn't bleed either. Good to know what can and can't be done with a fake body. Fleshy applications would be a problem with her wounds now. Lorelei treaded quietly over the counter top to the window. All she needed was a spark, which came in handy with a fork and an outlet socket. Was it a good idea? Nope, but better than nothing for a spark. What did she have to lose after all with a plush body?

[Deleted]

With the mod soul not coming out of hiding he chuckled a bit before going into the room of the infant. Oh what could he do to the small little one? Hmmm so many possibilities, yet honestly they bored him given that he would have the proper equipment to study the effects of what he did to the child. As such he was going there to shut it up so he could actually focus on finding the mod soul in this apartment. He hadn't heard any windows or doors open, so for now he was sure that the mod soul was still in the apartment, possibly looking at where he was going. As such he closed the door of the infant's room as he entered it.

Once inside the closed room Volker stood over the crib of the child and smiled his wicked smile at it. The infant however would see a man who seemed to be glowing in the darkness, his skin pure white with an aura of light coming off of him. To the baby this seemed like there was a wondrous and magical man before them coming over to do something. The screams turned into giggle and soft coos of excitement and wonder. Volker simply started to rock the crib back and forth waiting for the child to be silent. He would be back later after he caught the mod soul to take this child for an experiment.

By this time the parents of the child would have woken up. The father would stumble out of his bed and start his walk over to the room of the infant ready to make it stop crying. Assuming that the baby was simply hungry he made his way over to the kitchen. His eyes half closed and sleepy he stopped the moment he saw her there holding a fork over the electrical socket. He couldn't believe he was watching a stuffed teddybear standing there with a fork in the electrical socket. So shocked that he couldn't even process what was about to happen to him and his family.

The explosion went off, flames started to consume the apartment. The man was left with severe burns all over his body. Luckily for Volker he had closed the door behind him keeping the brunt of the explosion from hitting him and instead having it hit the door. With the explosion Volker dropped the child back into it's crib opening the door carefully to look around. There on the counter he could see the body of the mod soul. It was burned charred and crisp. He wasn't sure if the modsoul pill was in the doll, but he would find out as he made his way over, taking care to not step in the flames.

[Lorelei]

The apartment complex was filled with heavy clouds of smoke. Burning fuel, wood chunks, small electrical fires sparking back here and there. The kitchen was a mess with the flames ever spreading to have their fill of the building. What was suppose to be a small fire was starting to pick up. Luckily enough that Lorelei didn't need air to breath or anything that the humans would often require to survive. That even meant intestines, a heart, and a liver. Blood wasn't something that a stuffed animal had to worry about when injured, so thankfully that was no need for concern on her part. Her body could be torn to pieces and still be capable of moving around, live and well. That was the good news about being a plushie body Mod Soul. The bad news/cons against that was that it lacked a lot of strength that most regular organic bodies would have to help back it up.

Sad to say that her little stunt did more than what it was suppose to. Actually, did what was only natural. The entire room was filling up with gas, so the explosion that came about from lighting the socket was to be expected. The gas was ignited by the spark made through the fork. Considering that the Mod Soul's fluff made a good conductor, it was indeed a shocking experience to say the least. Enough of a shock to pass through into the gas filled room, electrocuting the gas to cause the sudden combustion. What the Mod Soul didn't see was the human that entered into the room at the last moment. Whoops, is probably what she could say, but to damn it all. The explosion managed to level the entire section in which the stove was located. Sink, stove, oven, the entire single side kitchen was completely destroyed.

Walls adjacent were blackened out by the fires. The upper floor partially caved into the current level in which the group resided in. Human male was burned, and the Mod Soul in pieces. Well, three to be exact. Lower half of the weapon was blown apart from the rest of the body, leaving it lifeless as the other parts. Bits and pieces remained of the right arm, just laying around all over the floor as fluff and cotton. The main body, or what was left of it, was merely just half of a head, partial neck, and left arm with a quarter torso. Also lifeless. Lorelei was shot out from the protection of the body and away from the scene. Actually, being shot out towards the hallway of the burning unit. Not the ideal situation to be in, but being in such a state made it all the more difficult to really track. Because while out of a body, her pill form didn't really use much to no reiatsu. She was very much an inanimate object at this point.

Smoke began to cover the ceiling, and much of the upper parts of the unit. The explosion weakened the floor and much of the foundation of where the group resided in. Who knows of how long it would take for it to fully collapse. With the fire ongoing, the sprinkler system would kick in just for a few moments as the explosion caused a few spouters to be destroyed. The fire would continue unchallenged throughout the unit in a matter of moments. Of course, other humans would come to investigate the matter all the more, hoping to find survivors, or to just loot the place. Nevertheless, humans would come to see a psycho in the unit. A man who didn't belong. Fire Fighters and the proper authorities would arrive as well. Lorelei was counting on people showing up. Possible home invasion gone wrong? Theft? Attempted murder? Who knows, but all that was certain was the scene didn't look good for the Quincy. Face would be known by people, unless they were killed. And even so, more people and more people would come. An endless slaughter would have to take place in order to continue searching for the Mod Soul, if the pill could not be found. And let's face it, to find a small pill in trash littered floor with smoke and fire ever so growing, it was more similar to finding a needle in a haystack.

Lorelei wouldn't be able to move from her corner spot in the hallway as her pill ricocheted from wall to wall by her little mishap. All the Mod Soul had to do was bide her time and wait for an opportune moment for her to finally move around. And that was the beauty of it. Time was on her side.

[Deleted]

After the sounds of the explosion and the heat coming from the outside of the door Volker knew what was going on. The damn mod soul decided to blow up the kitchen and cause this entire place to go up in flames. A smart plan, one that would force him to get out of here, the modsoul should be somewhat safe as long as her pill wasn't damaged that much. He however with a single cut would cause more damage to this place than it could withstand and that was something he didn't want, not for the safety of the lives of the people living here, but for his own life.

Opening the door he would see the burnt and dead body of a man in the kitchen, to the side consumed by flames what was once the body of the mod soul. He knew that the pill had to be somewhere, but where? Taking a quick glance around the room he looked to see if he could spot the little pill, not wanting to waste too much time as the flames started to build up and grow. He was about to leave when he noticed it, a small green pill like object backed into the corner of the building. Moving quickly he reached over to grab it and place it in his pocket. “Little thing, now you're mine.” He said as he buttoned his pocket closed, keeping her there.

With the roars of the flames growing stronger the easiest way out would be the front door, oping it he could hear the sounds of men rushing up the stairs to try and get to the fire. He would simply and calmly walked towards the stairway going upwards towards the roof of the apartment complex, it wouldn't take long given how high up they were in the apartment. By the time the firefighters got to the apartment Volker would be on the roof of the building watching the smoke rise from the building into the dark sky. A smile across his face with his new prize subject in his pocket.

A few hours later Volker would be back in his lab and in a white blank room would be a single stuffed teddy bear and the pill of the mod soul. He would be behind a strong glass watching to see if the pill would act. Getting on the speaker he would speak. “Come now little one, go on in, if not I guess I'll just test on your pill instead of you inside of the teddybear.” His voice was calm and calculating, while he normally didn't care for mod souls this one was a bit smarter and faster than others, it could make someone worth making join Xcution.

[Lorelei]

Well crap, now how did this come about? Not that Lorelei could express it, let alone know how to do it, but there she was trapped in a nostalgic situation. It had been some time since she was really in a test tube. How long? Well, she couldn't really tell how long it has been, but pretty long she could imagine. All the Mod Soul could remember of the time is how dark things were. Unable to move, or do anything but have her own thoughts occupy her time. And that does suck when an itch comes about and don't even know where it is. Especially when that itch is very severe, and can't even do anything about it. Like, that is Hell for a Mod Soul. Yet again, while not having a proper Gigai form to really feel anything, then pretty much does nothing but becoming a pleasantry to that of senses.

Alone in the tube with another potential body. That was all that was there besides the perverted man voice that lingered in the air. The same voice as the one that chased her before being in the tube. Geez, this guy must have had a real hard on to give this much of a chase. Plush-lover probably. Or a Furry-Lover. Who knows? All that she could think about was probably experiments. Observation and the such to see how she probably ticked. More or less what the nerds in Soul Society did. But then again, she didn't have much of a recollection as to what happened during that time. A lot of it was hazy as it was mundane. Pretty much just seemed to be one long day of itself.

And just like how it was before, she couldn't move at all. Being just a pill without no abilities or techniques to help it get a hold of nearby objects was still some aways from her. Lorelei couldn't string the toy to fuse with it or anything. Like, what the Hell was she gonna do; roll to the bear? Not much she can do but sit around and try to will her tiny form over to the bear body. That too would a struggle, and to be honest, wouldn't really compute at all. Firstly, she had no momentum or anything to help her get rolling. All of this was clearly a waste of time in attempting to really do anything. This was the biggest weakness that any Mod Soul really had in being what they are.

All the Mod Soul could really do was simply sit there and listen to what really went on. What ever was going to happen she needed to brace herself. Standard for most Mod Souls that she knew of when it came to such a situation. Though, as for fear of her own life, something that she didn't really understand. Fundamentally, she knew what it was. However, for her to really know what it was something entirely different. What ever it was that the human desired from the Mod Soul would be something of an interest for her as well. Since well, learning more about those around her would prove to be insightful.

It seemed that the little pill didn't want to roll,or couldn't. This was fine, this result wasn't entirely unexpected. There were two outcomes to what he asked of the mod soul to do, either it would roll into the body or not. He had seen a few mod souls with the skill to be able of rudimentary movements while in only pill form. He hadn't had that much data on those modsouls he was hoping that this one would be the same. However it looked like it that wasn't the case. Shame however this had to be logged in the data banks.

Pressing a button Volker activated an audio recording device for his side of the lab. "Subject... teddy bear, unlike some other mod souls this one appears to lack that ability. Further testing on this will be done at a later date for now proceeding with manual insertion." With that said Volker pressed another button shutting off the recording device. Everything in his lab had a purpose and a use, all for experimentation and data collection. Even this little recording would have a use later on.

A long metal robotic arm would reach out and slowly clasp the pill between it's cold metallic fingers. The arm slowly moved upwards taking the pill with it, each motion the arm did was smooth and percise. The pill would be help up aloft in the air for a moment before it started to move forward inching closer to the stuffed teddy bear. Eventually the arm would reach the bear forcing the little pill right into the mouth of the bear. This would force the mod soul to inhabit the body of the bear. The metallic arm would retreat away and away into the darkness of the room.

Volker pressed another button and a camera started to record what the mod soul was doing as well as recording the audio between the two. "Hello little one, please state your name for the record or I shall proceed to refer to you as teddy bear." The monitor on his side flickered as it recorded everything, he as sitting down waiting to see what this mod soul would do. When most were backed into a corner they would try and fight back, some simply gave up in fear. What sort of person was this little mod soul?

[Lorelei]

A name? Lorelei didn't really have a name, let alone know what a name was. It was the first time anyone would ask the Mod Soul about such a thing since many of them were referred to by their serial numbers. Well, most of the researchers but one. Lorelei's creator who remains unknown to the tiny pill. Some way for the tiny pill to recognize that she does have a name would most likely refer to the name given to the pill on the day of her supposive "conception." But again, there was the note that there were other pills along side her own, so she may be calling another by that name instead of her. Too hard to say. At the same time, like it would matter since she couldn't talk as well.

The experiments that led to her creation rendered her speak capabilities a bit to be undesired. Not that she doesn't have vocals to use to speak of, but the quality of their work was put into her physical operations than that of her computational abilities. So speaking never really did have its advantages to her. Not only that, but she really didn't have anyone to talk to either, so what would be the point to it all? Well, at least until this guy came along and looked to probe her. The small Teddy Bear tilted its head to the side as it gazed up at the mechanical arm as it faded into the darkness of tube's surroundings. In all honestly, Lorelei didn't know how to respond to the situation.

First off, she didn't like being stuck in a tube. Fear was a brand new concept that really didn't register in her mind just yet. It was there in the present, but to understand what it was something entirely different. Fear was an emotion. Something that many Mod Souls didn't really understand. Putting it into words was simple, as a concept at least. However, to understand what it was would have to be based on feeling it, register/connecting it to the current sensation that made it up now. All the more reason why the Bear decided to touch the glass container that kept her inside. Just out of curiosity to put it in simplest terms, or thought really.

Sense of touch didn't really go well with that of a stuffed body. It lacked any form of receptors that told the body as to what was going on with it. Unlike Human bodies, Lorelei was incapable of feeling pain. So that too didn't really hold up as a concept to her as well. All that the Mod Soul could do was analyze its situation, judging the little details that it had to work with being kept inside the glass prison. One tap against the transparent layer. A second tap. This repeated on both sides of the container. What the Mod Soul was looking for was subtle changes in sound of the glass material. Probably something, somewhere in its formation that was a bit thinner than that of the other locations.
