Independen and Private ANGEL from BORDERLANDS CROSSOVER AND AU FRIENDLY. SINGLESHIP. HIGHLY SELECTIVE. Written by Beckowsky Est 15th April 2016 Art Used for Icons by Kashuan Background Image by PrincessBloodyMary

[bonafidegrit]

Nisha didn't really seem like the sort that enjoyed birthdays (Well, at least, when it came to her own). And, as the siren began carefully considering her options, offering even a small wish through the ECHO itself didn't seem... right. And so, Angel would leave a little gift upon the woman's desk. Something that she had only recently learnt to make with her own two hands... a little charm bracelet that suited the sheriff's aesthetic closely enough, along wit the tiniest little card beside it.

nisha birthmas!!! || open all weekend

THE SHERIFF WAS in full recoil mode, withdrawing herself from any and all reminders of just what this day meant. reminders of broken promises and empty bottles hurled in her direction. thankfully only a select few knew of her birthday, but that wouldn’t detour nisha from seeking succor in her office with a few bottles of whiskey. her deputies were already on the job of keeping others away, by sentence of a ROPE choker. 

with a disapproving hiss, she sets to her fifth round of shots… out of the eventual goal of thirty-six. nisha stops short when catching a shimmer in the corner of her eye. she turns, squints, GLARES at the new addition on her desk. for a moment she doesn’t want to acknowledge it, but in noticing the letter - a little angel wing marking the signature -  nisha reluctantly inspects the gift.

there’s a faint snort in reading the note, partly due to the notion that she was deserving the effort, another was in how ridiculous she found the celebration in general. yet, there lied some appreciation in angel’s gift. the fact the siren not only took the time to write her a letter but to make something as well…

❝ ugh… feel like such a dumbass… ❞  the lawbringer mutters to herself as she places the chain around her wrist. nisha looks over the bracelet while taking her sixth shot and sighs. but gradually a smirk pulls at her lips as she pokes at one of the charms.  ❝ eh… not bad… ❞  nisha muses then takes another shot. maybe she could deal with her birthday this year. but maybe that was just the booze talking.

     “Wasn’t thatbad!?”  

     Despitethe exhaustion that hung heavily after having escaped the wholeordeal, he still managed to sound rather upset at the hologram thatwas standing beside him. Rhys collected himself enough to make surenobody would come over at another outburst, but the look on his facedidn’t change. He had made sure he was a good distance away from theothers so he could talk freely without (the continued) concernedlooks. Sure, he managed to get away with only a couple scrapes andbruises, but the fact that he got away wasn’t of his own doing,embarrassingly enough.

     “That’seasy for youto say when you’re tucked away safely in my head,” he replied,frown fully on display now, “I don’t know about you,but being dangled over arailing by a banditcounts as a bad timein my book!”

   “… Everything is fine, Jack.”

   A GROWING SENSE OF DETACHMENT than practiced courtesy in which to appease he who was to perhaps someday rule ALL. Her heart had skipped a beat, during times like these. The moment he would actually convey his own ‘CONCERN’ and actually place his fullest attention upon her. It must have been a slip of the tongue, a slight change in her own tone in which she was sure she had often kept devoid of most emotion, especially ones that would catch his attention.

   “Everything is coming along as planned. The Vault Hunters will be reaching their next destination in approximately 7 minutes.”

   Turning around, she watched as arms crossed themselves tightly across his chest– normally often done to perhaps further cement a statement he had just made. This time, there was perhaps just a little more to it all. Shoulders, while not necessarily tense, carried that UNCERTAINTY. All which was responded to with a knit of her own brows and a small smile of her own. After that discussion that he had had (Or tried) with the others? 

   Angel couldn’t possibly blame him for wanting to think things over just a little more. After all, she would be lying if she said that she wasn’t doing the same, from the very moment that suggestion had been made. There were certainly PROS and CONS for when an AI was only truly able to communicate with the host (And not with any of his other companions) in which they have been accidentally downloaded into– such as right now.

  “To return to HELIOS? Just so that the GORTYS PROJECT will be fully upgraded– once and for all?” 

   There was more, so much more for what this entire mission would bring about. And he knew that just as much as she did. … But, at the end of it all, the AI knew that she had NO REAL PLACE on this planet– she… didn’t really belong here. As much as she had come to appreciate whatever bit of ALIEN TRANQUILITY had first greeted her when she had first been brought online. The UNLIKELY COMPANION and FRIEND in which she had made in this ex-Hyperion employee… the time had finally come, so it seemed.

   “I’m ready when you are, Rhys.”

   THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS… So, so many things that she had wanted to tell her– herself. The number of times that she had actually wanted to APOLOGIZE to her– it was POINTLESS, NAUSEATED her very core. Was there truly any way out of this? Any way a FATE like this could actually be avoided? 

   She had but of course pondered it, when she had dared herself to. 

   The INEVITABILITY of her actions in which would TRIGGER the series of events that would then follow after… it would always spiral out of control. She would NEVER be in control of anything, could she? Not without a HEAVY PRICE to pay.

   “I… wish I knew that myself.”

“Just checking in on you as always, Vault Hunter.           You truly are a natural at this, by the looks of it!”

   GENUINE MIRTH however seen within blue depths, as her sights were set upon the woman that was staring right back at her then. She could already see the hints of a GRIN stretching its way upon the other’s features– that of course being a sign that their recent mission had been SUCCESSFUL. With a soft exhale through her nose, the Siren would however find herself concealing away whatever would dare break past the ETHEREAL DEMEANOR that she had always ever raised in between her and to those that she would speak to across the ECHO itself.

   “I have noticed that you and your companion display impressive capabilities. The fact that you both don’t even seem to require as many as upgrades as others have in the past further adds to that statement. It truly is an honor to aid you both on this journey. And, soon enough, you both shall be hailed as HEROES that you truly are.”

   “Keep it up.”

   “Everything is fine.” As automatic a response as that might have been (Perhaps however still SUITABLE in the matter in which she must and always should PORTRAY herself to them ALL), “You’re doing just fine, trust me.”

   AN ADMITTEDLY FRAIL FORM AMIDST THE CHAOS Not necessarily TURMOIL, but perhaps more than DELIRATION itself. It was not at all her DUTY to guide one such as this across the barren lands that she had long since grown accustom to. Even as it was all gazed through a VIRTUAL LENS whilst confined away into the SHADOWS themselves.

Ehhh… throw her a bone if she actually                 makes it out past the first checkpoint.

   RESIGNING to those orders with the subtlest grimace, but of course her LOOKS would have been the first thing to catch the man’s attention. Otherwise, she could have certainly PERISHED for all he cared… this was only prolonging the inevitable, she supposed.

   “You are almost there, continue following those logistics closely and you will be in SANCTUARY, soon enough.”

   THE VAULT HUNTER WITH THE SILVER TONGUE, as she would very often address him by from that point on. His first attempts at light (Considerably harmless) flirtation almost immediately (But somewhat ungracefully) dismissed by the SIREN. The second time had allowed her better preparation, thankfully. The third time earning a somewhat proud, if not mischievous little grin of absolute accomplishment at her very own retort--

    -- A HERO SUCH AS YOURSELF WILL BE DRAWING THE ATTENTION OF ALL THE LADIES, BY THE END OF THE DAY -- 

   Not that it was anything particularly WITTY, but she would take what she could get. The forth time... had caused a giggle to escape her before she could even stop herself. It was perhaps a spur of the moment, for missions to go as smoothly as they did (At least, for now, while JACK was still allowing her to guide him to where he actually wanted him to be). A RARE SENSATION OF PRIDE overwhelming her very heart as he had not only followed her exact instructions, but absolutely EXCELLED in every aspect of his performance. The almost NAUSEATING feeling off how giddy gleefulness was quick to fall to SHEER HORROR.

   ... He hadn’t been there to see it.

   That feeling, however,  would not fade as quickly as it had formed. The SIREN hoping that she wasn’t exhibiting any noticeable shakiness (Even if she were to glitch the screen filter a little more, then) as she continued on in her little conversation with him. Relieved that he had long since come to accept that an ‘advanced AI’ was capable of such ‘realistic responses’.

   IT HAD BEEN INEVITABLE, the moment he would encounter someone else and focused his amorous attention upon them instead, someone... REAL. She wouldn’t have been surprised if something more had come out between his meeting with MAD MOXXI... Guidance as always offered by her to him, but... It had been a little too late when she had realized how hastily delivered her message had been. And worse, how quickly she had been to cut off communications between the two of them, until the very next day.

   HE HADN’T QUESTIONED HER ODD BEHAVIOR, AND, WHY SHOULD HE? AND NEITHER HAD SHE HIM... Not when the very first thing that would escape him was all the answer she really needed. Finely shaped brows however raising as it would appear that the blonde man had long since departed for the next destination. Charming grin as always in place, tempting her to heavily scrutinize. But, no more. There were only so many times in which she would allow herself to slip up...

   “... Heh, I’m impressed, hero. Your collection of puns involving my designation exceeds even the ones that I have already collected within my database.”

     Thankfully, she hadn’t reacted as…awkwardly as he thought she would have.      It was weird, stating to someone out loud that he wanted to hug them, it usually      something he just did if not just thought about doing before laughing it off with      some lame joke. Though, a small grin crossed Rhys’ features, keeping his      sitting position with his legs tucked to his chest as she joined him. Kinda.

     “Good—uh, y-you’re welcome,” he said, running a hand through his hair as he      glanced over at the passing scenery, “I guess we’re stuck with each other for a      while, huh? Honestly, this was…well, I’d the last thing I expected, but I don’t      even think this crossed my mind. You have any idea what you’re progra—or,      what you’re here for…?”

   BROWS WOULD RAISE and KNIT EVER SO SLIGHTLY, her first little gesture to signify if not assure him that all of it hadn’t been completely FRUITLESS. A G I G G L E would actually follow, soon after (Such SENTIENCE was something to be admired, for her to so naturally EXPERIENCE and RESPOND to things as if she herself were one), at that, the moment that GRIN (As small as it was) had crossed the other’s features. When compared to the VAULT HUNTERS OF LONG PAST, speaking with one such as RHYS was a considerable BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

   “I guess we are. Heh, same here... and, I’m just an AI.” But, not simply because of WHO and HOW they have been, but HOW it had all turned out. To have lead them on, to have LIED to not only them, but to HERSELF, ALL BECAUSE OF HIM. The moment he had informed her of all that had taken place while she had remained in STASIS, it hadn’t taken her long to put TWO AND TWO together...

   She was gone.       The-- her... original self,           Having perished long since,                                               along with him.

   SURREAL AS IT ALL WAS, the digital representation of the SIREN had only expressed such a realization with a quiet sigh. It could have been worse, couldn’t it? Things could have gone much, MUCH worse, for the both of them. She was actually appreciating what she had, at that moment, to be downloaded into a HOST such as him. Regardless of him once being an EMPLOYEE of her father’s, he hadn’t known. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. She didn’t need to LIE THROUGH HER TEETH, any longer. Through that ethereal facade that had always been put up for all that she had been FORCED to interact with.

   “I’m... afraid I don’t. Not just yet, at least. I’m so sorry, Rhys. But it shouldn’t take long. Once I’m done analyzing whatever data I can gather. And, to be honest? I think I’m already getting a rough idea on what it might be...”

[imprisonedseirenes]

『 @stealhisdeal​ Continued from Here 』

     Hugging a hologram was like trying to hug the idea of a person.        It was a comforting thought, but it wouldn’t really go anywhere.        Rhys figured he was never that much of a comforting person to        begin with, too awkward for it to have much of an effect, in his        opinion, but it was the thought that mattered in the end. At least,        that’s what he was always told. The ex-Hyperion kept his legs        hugged to himself, not saying anything after her talking, the hum        and gentle rocking of the caravan filling the silence as he stared,        unseeing, at the passing scenery.

        “Y'know, I'd—I’d hug you if I could and if it would be any sort of…         comfort to you, but I think I’d just…go through you and it wouldn’t         be the same…” he finally said, rubbing at the back of his neck, “I         had no idea that’s what happened…I don’t really know much about         him outside what was public knowledge, but…uh, yeah.”

   IT WAS THE VERY IDEA ITSELF THAT BOTH HUMORED AND BROUGHT JUST A LITTLE LIGHT TO THE CURRENT SITUATION ITSELF. She certainly hadn’t expected him to say such a thing the moment she had finished speaking. But, then again, it was only quite recently that the two had gotten ACQUAINTED, didn’t they? Sparing her new companion another glance, Angel’s eyes lowered as she sat herself down beside him-- more so in MIDAIR than on a proper seat like he was doing, however. Hands were clasped as they rested themselves onto her lap.

   “It might. But, it’s alright. Heh, I still appreciate the thought, Rhys.” The fact that he had even considered it was already MILES better than what so many had offered, albeit its execution in awkwardness, “... And, it looks like we have all the time in the world for that.”

『 @eternoanima​ Continued from Here 』

Vault hunter wasn’t exactly a term Caesar was familiar with; though, truth be told, nothing about his surroundings was any sort of familiar to him in the first place. Nonetheless, he couldn’t question what was said. If he truly was doing great, then… maybe there was a chance he’d get out of this situation alive. And in one piece, if all goes well.

Worries aside, the compliment still brought a smile to his face. Whoever, or whatever, this stranger happened to be, the company was nice regardless. The help, too, of course – without her aid, Caesar couldn’t say he’d know where he’d have ended up right then.

“I owe it all to you, don`t I? Hm~… A shame I can`t thank you in person.”

“What disappoints me most, though, is knowing I can`t see your beautiful face up close.”

   THIS WAS UNLIKE ANY PANDORA MANUFACTURED WEAPONRY that she had ever come across. BUBBLES were apparently his choice of arsenal, seemingly one of the most harmless of substances-- now transformed into an effective enough weapon against even the most vicious of SKAGS if not other GUN TOTING BANDITS. 

   IT WAS STILL DEEPLY FASCINATING (If not just a tad frustrating, considering how JACK would most have most likely wanted answers on this one’s background) to observe, one could would have considered that there would be a trick of some kind behind those simple if not still fairly decorated gloves, Or perhaps, something else that was skillfully hidden away on another part of his being. Needless to say, a COMPLIMENT would inevitably follow the moment he was only one step closer to reaching SANCTUARY itself.

   “I...” Blue eyes would widen however, voice nearly dying in her throat. Was he... flirting with her? Fingers would however be quick enough to reach forward in creating a brief frequency glitch to deter the male’s attention towards her, particularly to where PINK would begin to bloom on normally pale cheeks. It would only be so long that he would actually believe her to be nothing more than an advanced piece of technology. She needed to be careful, “Hm, perks of being an Aritificial Intelligence. But, I will kindly remind you that you are actually speaking with one if it should be needed, friend.”
