Sins of a Child

Hello, you can call me Dr. Ciel I'm head of the resistance. If you're a reploid/cyber elf in need or a human that supports our cause you are welcomed here. Oh don't be nervous there are a lot of nice people here! [ A Side blog for Ciel from Megaman Zero Series. Part of the group N.A.C but will RP outside group. ] Multiship Friendly | OC Friendly | AU Friendly | Sidebar image

So... during the beginning of Megaman Zero 3 I see you, Zero and a couple others were walking together, BUT here's a question I am Asking... Did you have to cuddle up with Zero? (being from the northern areas of the USA it's reasonable to ask for me) cause jeez. blizzard, to normal, then back to blizzard. you had to have been held by zero at least once right?

    “I um- Maybe a few times but it wasn’t anything romantic. Being the only human among reploids most of them would stay close to help me.” She answered, feeling a bit embarrassed just cause the topic implied romantic intent. When she was sure Zero did it only out of concern and probably cause of her own lack of ability to keep warm. 

   ”A-Anyway we’re walking together only cause of the fact we’re leading the group. Trying to make it seem more intimate would only make it awkward to think about.” Though she’s sure if Zero was here, she would be the only one feeling awkward about it. Probably.

    "Hmm..." Is reading a very old yet well preserved book that she was able to scavenge from the ruins. It wasn't anything of wide knowledge but was in fact a story. It was actually quite a interesting story as that so she couldn't help but continue reading. Already tuning out the world around her as she read it silently to herself.

A Small Girl and a Reploid | Ciel & X

[fadeuntooblivion]

Ciel was a precious child, one that he hoped would help guide the world into a much better era in the future. Something told him, that she would accomplish many great, great things.

"Yes, they truly are. But, all life contains such wonder." X said gently, yet, even though her presence was a salve, his sorrow overtook him for a moment.

However, her question pulled him away from the thoughts of so many lost lives, so many lost wonders, to the simple question of if she too could have a flower.

Normally, picking flowers here was illegal as life was hard enough to sustain, but he did rule the city, and exceptions to that rule had been made before.

"Of course, but, would you like a pot and some seeds as well? I’m sure you’d be able to grow one yourself, if you’d like." X offered, gesturing that she choose the flower she’d like.

"Just be careful if you choose a rose, they have thorns." He warned as he gently bent a brilliantly red rose over a small bit so she could see the thorns.

[heartofresistance]

    Now that made the small girl's eyes widened as the Arcadia ruler said she could pot and raise a seedling. Practically glowing at the idea of being able to raise and care for a flower of her own. Even as X showed her the thorns that graced the beautiful rose it didn't seem to bother her. In fact she seemed to marvel at the fact the rose had thorns.

    "I would love to grow one myself," Ciel piped, looking at the rose in his hand. "A rose..."

    The thorns and many meanings in a rose were what had convinced her of it's value. She really wanted to grow them and eventually share them with others. Still innocent to how much life outside the walls of the building was struggling. How precious every single life was with a innocent desire to share it all.

    "Even with it's thorns it's very beautiful and I would want to share share them with you. Especially if I can grow one myself." She hums softly, as she imagined growing the flower herself and showing it to everyone. Especially to X as he's the one showing her the flowers and their small wonders. Suddenly she paused as she realized she didn't know how to take care of a flower. Botany wasn't exactly her specialty apparently or at the least wasn't what she was taught.

    "I'll probably have to learn how to take care of a flower, cause I wasn't taught that." She mused as she looked at the plant and gently touched the petals of the flower. A bit cautious about trying to touch it stem least she hurt herself, or the flower.

    "Have you ever grown a flower yourself?"

heartofresistance Found The Ruined Labs

heartofresistance

Oookay…. Yes, he was still scared of her (he was hiding behind a door. Again), but….but she looked…. kindalikeZerowhat- The little bot watched her warily, still, just in case. Though…. his scanner…. said she was human. That… couldn’t be right… How could a human… How could a human be here…?

[heartofresistance]

A small moment of silence as she looked around the ruined lab getting the sense someone was watching her. After a minute or so of silence she couldn't help but try to speak up. Hoping the one who was watching her was at the least friends, "Hello...? Anyone there?"

[kitsunefyuu]

If they had a kid meme: Ciel and X

[ Gonna do the thing~! This is if X was human or this was actually possible- ]

Name: Arnett (Meaning Little Eagle, Bird )

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Brown hair and blue eyes, he has a pretty boy appearance as some would say. His hair always seems to be ruffled despite how hard his mom tries to tame it. Is also pretty pale as he doesn’t like to go out much unless he needs too. 

Personality: Honestly the sweetest thing you would ever meet and a timid one at that. Seeing as both of his parents are very passive he learned how to be passive. Though in a way is even more soft hearted then his parents cause of this. Can be seen as very sensitive but is very strong willed and stubborn when he wants to be.Hates conflict but more then willing to deal with it.

Special Talents:  Very intelligent and good with machinery but is a great healer and knows how to heal injuries whether they be Reploid or humans.

Who they like better: Doesn’t have a favorite as he loves both of his parents a lot. Both of them are really sweet and understanding so what’s not to love. Though seems to be trying to prove himself more to his father X often as if insecure with his dad…

Who they take after more: Takes after X a bit more in that he’s a sensitive pacifist but can fight and will fight if needed. While his mom like that she doesn’t fight at all no matter the circumstances. 

Personal Headcanon: Arnett has a pet bunny, which was a lab animal originally but Ciel took it out before it was experimented on and gave it to her son. Arnett loves the bunny and used to carry the little thing every where even sneaking it to school. Some joked that the bunny was his familiar cause they were both timid and quiet things, but he doesn’t mind. He loves his bunny.

Faceclaim:Can’t find proper face claim but I believe a grown up Arnett would look something like this

[devilbotomega-archive-deactivat]

heartofresistance started following you

The blond reploid gave a sigh, leaning back against a wall of the run down lab he called home. Though… He didn’t feel alone within the fortress anymore. He sensed something…. Or someone… nearby. 

He frowned slightly, moving away from the wall, saber in hand. He felt like he should go find out who had entered the fortress. Weil had always told him to dispose of any intruders, so perhaps he would.

He stepped out into the hallway, pausing when he saw the figure of someone. He tilted his head slightly, crimson eyes flickering in confusion. She… Looked familiar… No… That wasn’t possible. Omega put the saber back into its hilt, and cautiously approached the other. He kept his hand on the hilt, however. Just in case.

He stopped a good few feet away from the other, and looked her over. “…Hello there, child.” He muttered. “What brings you to the outskirts of Neo Arcadia?”

[heartofresistance]

     Of course she was told it was dangerous, that she should have brought someone with her. Though she had assumed that the fortress was safe and was curious to see if there was anything there. It was a lot harder then it looked as there was ton of debris and items littered everywhere that could be hazardous.

     "I should be more careful..." She muttered, brushing her hair back as she lets out a sigh. Only to tense up when she heard someone step out into the hall way and saw someone. Her hand twitching just a bit to her side arm that a member of her team insist she carried. Yet resist the urge to grab it instead bringing her hand to her chest instead.

     Was this...?

     Suddenly she shook her head, not really sure what she was thinking at the moment. Thinking she was being silly and the lack of light in the ruins made it hard for her to see.Though she huffed when she was called a child even if it was true it didn't really fit her.

     "I could ask you the same thing,.." Ciel replied, cautious as she didn't know if this man was friend or foe. Seeming fidgety and almost scared at the possibility of encountering someone hostile.

"Who are you?"

[theheartofresistance]

A Small Girl and a Reploid | Ciel & X

[fadeuntooblivion]

   A rare smile slowly blossomed on his face, nodding in approval at Ciel. He too felt the same. Even something as simple as a rose meant a great deal to him, all nature, all life was precious, and he’d done everything he could to preserve it.

"Flowers are truly special." X agreed.

   A gentle wind passed through the trees, causing the leaves to shift in the breeze. That ruffling caused X to close his eyes, remembering when the earth had once been a rich pure green and blue ball. Days long since past. Perhaps, perhaps Ciel would live long enough to see that world come back… He hoped so.

For her sake.

"Of course Ciel." Rising slowly, X brushed off the edges of his robes, revealing the thick armored boots for just an instant.

For a moment X was… Indecisive, a rarity for him before he extended a hand, offering it to the young girl.

Once he had done so, X slowly traveled over to another flowerbed. This one had many, many different species. Poppies, roses, lilies, and many, many more.

"I know most about roses of course, for example that’s a red rose," He pointed to the plant in question.

"When you give someone a red rose, it’s telling them that you love them in a romantic, passionate way. White roses symbolize chastity and purity, and the yellow rose refers to friendship." One by one he pointed them out, taking care not to go too quickly so she’d be able to handle the information.

Of course, they weren’t the only flowers but he didn’t want to go over too many.

"Flowers can tell someone a very special story, if they know the language of flowers that is." He observed, still focusing much of his attention on the future scientist.

[heartofresistance]

     When Ciel glances over a small blush forms on her face when she saw X actually smiling. Not that small almost tired smile but a true blue happy smile and it made her so happy. Though she was a bit confuse as to why she felt so warm and looked away for just a minute to calm down. Snapping out of it when the other says he was willing and offers a hand to her.

     Reaching out she grabs the older reploid hand and seemed to notice just how big his hands were compared to her own. Listening to his words as he talked about the roses making sure to burn it to memory.

     Red roses for love, white roses for purity, yellow for friendships...

     It was a wonder why the scientist didn't make flowers part of her studies as they had so many meanings. Maybe there was a way to communicate with just flowers if needed. Now that was an idea she was curious and willing to get behind, her excitement clear on her face as she looked at the flowers.

     "Flowers are amazing~"

     Ciel chimed in in awe that such beautiful things even had meaning to them. Though she suddenly remembers she was holding X hand, the young girl looked up at X. Almost a bit timid as she was thinking about asking him something. Tugging his hand just a bit to catch his attention looks up at him curious.

     "Is it ok for me to have a flower?" It was a simple and innocent question, they were so beautiful and she wanted to bring some of that beauty to the lab. It was always so white and bland there and these flowers would help brighten it up a lot. 

     Maybe she should give X some flowers also as he seems to like them a lot too. She wants to see him smile like that more...

Fate

[rustedbullet]

Conan quickly scampered in as the doors were opened for him, herded inside by someone he didn’t quite take a good look at until once they were inside. The fact that there was sand everywhere was kind of a big part of it, really. The doors shut behind him, and he brought his hands to his mouth as he began coughing. Some sand had gotten into his mouth and esophagus from that shout, he was sure.

Discomforting, but by no means something he would overly fret over. Shaking his head a little, he then took the moment to survey his surroundings with as much eye movement and as little head movement as possible, alert to all sounds as he tried to take in what was in front of him without making too much movement. There were some reploids in green uniform, an emblem on the hats that some of them wore, but the more attention-grabbing person had just knelt in front of him and dusted him off somewhat.

He stared, right hand still covering his mouth as he continued to cough slightly, the other dropping to his side and letting go of the cape he had been lent earlier by Fefnir. The young teen in front of him seemed vexed, rightfully so, as to how he had gotten there, but what drew his attention were her eyes.

They were eyes of a person that had seen many things, but were not cynical of the world around them. Eerily enough, it reminded him of a friend of his, from a long time past.

A friend he stayed loyal to until the very end.

He got the urge to do just about anything she asked.

It took him a few moments to answer. “S-sorry… -cough- sand… -cough cough-” He managed to choke out, then shook his head as it to clear his thoughts a little.

What he said here would make or break him, but while he’d like to keep his cover, if he wanted to /help/ and be of use to these people, they’d have to know at least a little about him so they wouldn’t treat him as the child he appeared to be. “I’m… you may call me Conan.” He started, then shook his right foot slightly to get some sand off his pants. His voice was raspy, but it was fine with him. Sand tended to do that.

He supposed he should drop the innocent act and just be honest here. It was his best card on hand. However, there were some things he only wished to say to Ciel rather than the whole Resistance. Namely, how he got there. “I’d like to confer to you in private as to how I… -cough- got here.” He said somewhat awkwardly, his gaze shifting from left to right to take a good look at the reploids further away from him before refocusing on the person who seemed to be Ciel.

"You are Ciel, correct?" He asked, then bowed his head a little, taking time to process just what he’d say.

It was difficult to be so up front and honest about things after four centuries of deceit to get by. He wasn’t sure how to continue without further prompt, other than maybe blabbing about how he wanted to help but that recent movements the Resistance had made were concerning him. It was much too forward, though…

"I don’t expect you to let me stay, but I would like to take the chance that I’m finally here to offer you my aid."

Ah, maybe he sounded a lot older than he should, but he was trying to give the impression that he was competent, even if he was a ‘child’.

[heartofresistance]

     As soon as she heard the other coughing she made a motion for one of the guards to get some water. Realizing the poor 'kid' was choking on sand and needed water to wash it out. The resistance member was quick to respond to his leader command and ran off. While Ciel went to focus on the other, noting how some of the other members were watching wearily.

    Not that she could blame them as it didn't exactly seem normal or possible for a normal human to get to their base. Though she didn't judge him or show any suspicion of how he got there. Simply concern for his well being and health, some would say she's naive with her kindness but she felt it's better to be kind and make possible allies then be cruel and close off alone. The world wasn't going to change or break her no matter how many times it happens and will continue to believe the best.

     The resistance leader was quiet as the 'child' spoke to her, noting how he spoke in a formal manner. His eyes seeming to show a kind of wisdom and knowledge a child shouldn't have. Then again some said she had those eyes when she was young having seen and done things no normal child should.

     "Conan..." Ciel muttered, repeating the name to herself to keep it in mind. Looking a bit surprised when the other questioned her name but nods, "That would be correct."

     Despite how motherly and sweet she was moments ago it seemed she was allowing him to take on the mature tone. Even if some of the resistance members were looking confused at how formal and mature the child was they didn't question. As their leader was technically a child still so they were open to expecting a lot more from a kid. Though that is also why they were skeptic and suspicious to begin with, she guessed.

     Her expression changed to surprise when he said that he came to help them.

     "You wish to aid us?"

     Now that was a surprise, not many humans took the risk of aiding them. As such actions were pretty much deemed treason and Neo Arcadia weren't exactly merciful often.

     The reploid that was sent to get some water finally came back with a glass. Water wasn't exactly in great supply but it was good enough quality. Ciel took it from the reploid and hands it to Conan, "Here drink some water your voice is scratchy."

     A fond smile was clear on her face as she made a motion for him to follow. "Let's continue this conversation in my studies,"

[fightingfefnir]

Intertwining Fates ( @theheartoftresistance )

[fightingfefnir]

Fefnir would certainly be happy to see her again, that was for sure. He nodded to the scientist and was about to make his leave before the small girl called out to him to wait.

The Guardian turned and looked down at Ciel, and blinked in surprise as she asked for a hug rather seriously. He couldn’t help but giggle in response before carefully kneeling down to abridge the young human.

"Of course you can," he said with a smile and carefully drew the child into his arms and against his chest. She was so small compared to him that she barely reached his chestplate, but he knew that with how fast humans grew, that would change soon enough.

He held her for a moment before he pulled back gently with a smile, “take good care of yourself.”

[heartofresistance]

"I will! Just don't forget to hang out with me ok?"

    The small blonde piped, with bright blue eyes looking up at the reploid serious. Before letting a smile to form on her lips as they separated from each other. Placing her hands behind her back as she kicked the ground sheepishly and a gentle smile stayed on her face.

"Come now Ciel, we wasted enough time with the long good byes."

     It was the scientist that broke the silence, and the young girl pouted in response. With one last look at Fefnir, almost as if afraid it would be the last, Ciel goes to the scientist side. Her hand being grabbed by the older woman as she was led back to the lab.

Ciel looked back and with her free hand waved good bye to the guardian. Quietly mouthing one more good bye before she was taken to the lab door and they went inside. 

[rustedbullet]

Fate

[rustedbullet]

Conan awoke with a start as he was dropped, the change in environment kick-starting his brain as it always had. The habit had saved his life a couple of times before. Jolting to a standing position, only to topple onto his rump in dizziness, he soon realized Fefnir was nowhere to be found, he was in front of some metal building he assumed to be the resistance, and, due to his hasty standing, he had dropped the cape. Scrambling for it, the small child quickly wrapped himself up to cover himself from the stinging sands. Some had made it into his eyes, and it was very unpleasant. 

With a scowl, he squinted his eyes to take a good look at the place in front of him, noting tall turret towers surrounding what he assumed was an entrance. He was probably hard to spot in the storm, especially with the cloak, so he figured he might as well go inside?

Or perhaps… he tried to take a deep breath, only to cough from sand entering his throat. 

"HEEEEEY." He called out, then coughed again from the sand. Oh, really, this was one of his worse ideas, but entering a base he figured he wouldn’t know his way around was probably the more terrible of his options. He could endure a little sand so long as someone noticed him. And soon. 

The big Guardian should have knocked or something. Was there even a way to let people know someone was at the entrance other than the sentry towers? Had they seen him? Who knew.

All he had gathered out of this was that Fefnir was definitely not in league with the Resistance (if he was even in the right place, anyway), but he had definitely done him a huge favor for no apparent reason. He’d figure it out, he used to be a detective of renown. Just not now.

At the moment, the priority was getting inside and hopefully making a good and helpful impression.

[heartofresistance]

   At this moment while the small boy was figuring out a way to get inside Ciel was finished with her work. Her hand moving to fix her hair and then move to gently crack her back. Working for hours on straight definitely wasn't exactly healthy way to go for a human girl. However she at least knew the benefits to taking a break. Which is what she was taking till she glanced at a monitor after hearing a shout of some kind. At first she was sure there was nothing on the screen as the weather was horrible. No one would be out in this weather but when she saw a figure she got up instantly. As he was much to small to be an adult and concern showed on her face.

   "Is that a child?" She questioned, startled as it wasn't exactly something she saw everyday. Especially in this weather it looked like the kid was struggling for shelter. The resistance leader drops everything that she was doing and goes to check it out. Knowing that someone probably noticed the others presence and was simply waiting on her. Despite all the questions she had she was decided that she would save them for later.

   "Let him in!" She shouted, as she noted some guards were skeptic and confused over the kids presence. Though on command they suddenly scrambled to open the gates for the kid. Quickly moving to the entrance she barely listened to the reploid members concern. As at the moment her top priority was getting the stranger out of the storm. Regardless of who the person was she didn't want to just force the other to stay out in this weather.

   The moment the gates opened she quickly ushered the boy inside not wanting to keep the gates open and allow more sand in. As the resistance members go to close the door now was the time to actually question. However upon closer inspection the young scientist eyes widened a bit in surprise and confusion. As it really was a child which brought up the question of how did he get here in this weather.

   "How...?" Ciel started, then stopped herself as she crossed her arms. Looking just a bit unsure before deciding she might as well know who the child was. Kneeling down just a bit so she was at eye level with the boy, moving a hand to try and get sand out of the others hair and clothing. Despite having just met the boy was already in a kind of older sister/mother role.

   "What's your name?"

[fightingfefnir]

Intertwining Fates ( @theheartoftresistance )

[fightingfefnir]

Fefnir merely nodded to the scientist, and smiled at both her and at Ciel. The adorable smile that the little girl had on her face was enough to make anyone happy, and the Fire Guardian certainly felt happier around her just from seeing that smile.

He turned back to the scientist as she pointed out that there was no guarentee, but he bowed his head lightly to her before standing tall once more. "I promise I’ll keep her to the confines of the Garden only. I work there every Friday to do my paperwork, and I promise she won’t be harmed." He’d never dream of it. With a bright smile at Ciel in return, he waved at her, “hopefully we’ll see each other again, Ciel.”

[heartofresistance]

   "We will I just know it!" Ciel piped, despite the fact the scientist didn't guarantee anything. It didn't seem to even weigh on her mind as anything she should bother worrying over. She gently taps the scientist arm making a motion that she wanted to be put down. Who soon enough complied seeing no harm in letting the other walk.

   The scientist offered a gentle smile as the reploid assured no harm would be allowed on the young girl head. Moving a hand to gently stroke the small protege, "Alright then, I'll make sure to tell them that as well. Now we should get going-"

   But as soon as the scientist went to grab her hand the small girl pulled her hand away. "Wait-" Suddenly she runs over to fefnir and opens her arms in a gesture of a hug. A very serious expression on her face as she spoke."A hug good bye first before I go please?"

[heartofresistance]

ROBOTS OR DINOSAURS?

"Robots," That came out so easily, despite the stress and struggles the reploids were amazing. Dinosaurs weren’t exactly intelligent beings that could communicate with them, despite being very interesting in itself.
