Joseph raised an eyebrow. “You’re.. not one of the fae?”

Well that was a stupid question coming from him, since Faeries were most susceptible to iron and whatnot (and the…thing (?) before him seemed to be invulnerable to the effects of iron), plus the disguise wasn’t the same as the glamours that the other used–

Ah, bother. Fine, he’d take it for its word (for now, at least). “I…see.” Joseph awkwardly cleared his throat. First, introductions. “I am Joseph. A pleasure to meet you. And you are?”

A somewhat sinister air began to coalesce around the small silver-haired boy. He could use this: gain information and use this opportunity for his goals.

Fae? A fairy, her translator told her, some type of Earth creature she hadn’t encountered. So he wasn’t sure what she was.

“I’m not one of the fae. My name is Boot.” After introducing herself she returned to her explanations of what she was doing, feeling excited that he had seemed excited. “We Irkens have worked on the problem of creating new bodies for ages, so that part was not overly difficult, except that I wanted them to appear human and have several upgrades beyond what humans typically have. Designing the artificial skin and making sure it could clean and heal itself easily was a fun little challenge, but consciousness transfer is the last big piece I need. With me, I can just plug my PAK in and have it read my code, but with humans I suspect I’ll need to find a way to store the information in Irken to put it in.”

The idea of an alien studying vampires alongside humans was an intriguing one to Levi. He hadn’t known about the existence of supernatural humanoids until he became one–how interesting would it be to view humans and vampires as being two species that simply existed together, and had always existed together, like monkeys and lions. Imagine not being aware of how baffling it was to humans that their fanged counterparts were not just the stuff of horror movies and actually lived among them. It was hard for his brain to process, actually, how different their views must be.

“I, uh…” He chewed on the inside of his mouth. Good question, that. “It’s the only one I’ve ever known. I guess, if I had the chance to go visit another planet, I might find it better than earth. But earth’s my home, ya know? All the memories I got here…” The people, too, that don’t know that he’s still alive. 

“…no place like home,” he smiled sadly. “So. Which planet are you from again? Neptune or somethin’?”

His answer made sense to her. She didn’t really miss home, but then her home wasn’t nearly as interesting as Earth to her and she had no personal attachments back there. Not to mention, she really couldn’t go back even if she wanted to. 

She smiled. “Neptune’s a lot closer than my planet. I’m from Irk, well beyond this solar system. But I see what you mean about home. In a sense, I guess Earth’s become my home, too, now.  I’ve been meaning to go check out the architecture on Mars, but other than that I haven’t really felt much pull to leave anymore.”

 Well…that was a ….surprising encounter. It was also strangely pleasant to have a conversation without the other part attacking him,or running from him screaming, or a combination of both. Fae usually attacked him though, because he was unnatural.  

Wait, robotics? why in the flying blazes would a faerie care bout robotics? “…You aren’t you a part of the Good Neighbors? though you don’t seem like one.”

Looking closely, there seemed to be the hum of something mechanical, almost like an automata, near the area where the thing was. Interesting. “Well, it is impressive, but the problem of transferring consciousness is a bit…”

Hm. what a wonderful curiosity. Joseph practically glowed with excitement as he looked at the faux body before him. This could be a path to fixing his own defective vessel, if done properly. 

Boot wasn’t familiar with the term he had asked about and went with the meaning her translator suggested. She realized she wasn’t in her disguise and it could be some unrelated term for what he thought she was, but didn’t have much other information to work from. “Neighbor? No, I’m not from nearby. I’m from pretty far away, actually.” 

She moved on quickly from that topic as she noticed he seemed excited. “It’s a challenging problem to tackle, but that’s really what makes me so interested in it. I think I’m very close, for my case at least. It’ll be trickier for humans, but it should still be doable. Transferring a physical brain itself only works for so long, so it would need to be an artificial one.”

[invaderoperaghost]

wxndering-mxgus:

It was just a stroll really, and Joseph just so loved taking walks on whims that he often found them great opportunities to search for raw materials, scout for potential new test subjects, and generally get new sparks of inspiration for new possibilities of prolonging his current body.

Of course, it was complete and utter coincidence that he happened upon this strange sight. A…creature (fae? Seelie? Unseelie?), seemingly working at a human shell, making it a perfect mask.

Now this walk was starting to turn interesting. 

With silent, cat-like footsteps, Joseph slowly approached the oddly-colored creature, trying to make his face a mask of amiability. 

“Why hello, lovely day Isn’t it?“ the silver-haired alchemist chirped. “What would you be doing with that body over there?“

Boot’s robot and Irken selves both turned to face the intruder. In a rush, the robot form removed the PAK from itself and replaced it on Boot’s back, her antennae twitching nervously until it was firmly rooted in place and the countdown disappeared. The robot’s silver eyes reverted to a pale red as its original AI took over, awaiting Boot’s order.  Boot wondered several things at once. Why hadn’t any of the other robots noticed the human’s presence? And why did he seem curious, even friendly? This was more like the reaction she’d expect in disguise, not out of it as she was now. Oh well. At least he seemed friendly. Her antennae shook slightly from anxiety, but she answered confidently. She decided that if he didn’t seem perturbed by her appearance, there was no need to bring it up. “Hello! I didn’t expect anyone to be out here. I’m just working on a project. It looks like a human, right? But it’s a robot I made. I wanted to see if I could transfer my consciousness into it, but that’s still a work in progress. Do you have an interest in robotics?”

[invaderoperaghost]

Boot stood in the clearing in the woods, about to start her next experiment. She’d chosen a remote area to avoid people and felt comfortable enough to go without her disguise, in favor of increased senses and maneuverability. She had successfully coated her robots with an artificial skin and was pleased with how human they appeared...as long as they didn’t have to actually do anything. 

Her next step was to transfer her consciousness into one by inserting her PAK into an outlet she had installed on all of the robots for that purpose. At the very least, she hoped that living for a few minutes in their shoes (wasn’t that what the humans said?) would give her some insight into what needs improvement and how to go about it. The project wasn’t ready for a permanent transfer, so she knew she only had ten minutes at a time to test this out.

With two robot assistants at the ready, programmed in how to intervene if necessary, Boot removed her PAK, placing it on the back of a robot modeled more similarly to her ideal human self: cropped black hair, robotic silver-colored eyes, a frilly pink dress with an ample supply of bows tucked underneath a pristine lab coat, black gloves and combat boots.  It was a strange sensation, looking out of a robot’s eyes into her own red Irken ones. She was still conscious of her Irken body, and her antennae twitched from anxiety at the sight of the ten minute countdown warning her that her PAK needed to be reconnected. Her attention remained fixated on her Irken self, as her Irken self was fixated on her robot self, while she flexed artificial muscles and noted how nice the slight breeze felt on artificial skin. The other robots would attend to keeping the area secure while she was absorbed in her observations.

Boot. He wasn’t sure why he had expected anything other than that. It wasn’t like she was gonna be called Becky or something. ❝ Boot, ❞ he repeated uneasily, and then, after he remembered the few manners he had– ❝ Boot! Awesome. It’s a pleasure. ❞ He shook the tiny alien’s hand, and was surprised at how it felt ( before reminding himself yet again that everything about this encounter was bound to surprise him. )

❝ So, Boot… uh… what brings ya ta’ Earth? ❞

Boot shook his hand. It wasn’t the first time she’d performed this Earth ritual, but the contact still seemed odd to her, even through her gloves.

Turning her attention to his question, she answered. “I ended up here by chance, actually, but I’ve been on Earth for a long time now. I intended to wander but this planet’s got enough variety to it to keep me interested. Humans are fascinating, not to mention beings like you. I guess that’s why I haven’t left yet.”

She pondered something. “Do you like it here, or if you could, would you want to go to another planet?”

bloodintolerant:

An alien? Levi’s eyes widened accordingly, and he had to stifle several shocked exclamations. But why was he so shocked, he wondered. What was so different about an alien and a vampire? He hadn’t believed vampires existed until he was turned into one thirty years ago. If a vampire could exist, why couldn’t an alien? Many people would argue that an alien was more probable than a fanged, blood-sucking creature of the night. Maybe he was the odd one out here.

At least it explained the weird pointy thing on her head.

❝ An… Irken? ❞ he repeated cautiously. He sniffed gently at the antennae, blinking as he took in her true appearance. ❝ Oooh. Uh, well… that’s… that’s cool, I guess. ❞ For once, Levi Corman was at a loss for words. It’d take a while for him to wrap his head around things, but that didn’t mean he had to automatically be scared of her. She had showed him no reason to fear her. Not yet, anyway.

❝ You guys—girls-–got names? Like, your own name? Mine’s Levi. Nice ta’ meet ya, ❞ he held out a hand, then, realising the height difference ( a first for him–normally he was stretching up ) bent his knees so she could reach it.

Boot was glad that Levi didn’t seem frightened. Just curious. It put her at ease and she relaxed a bit. Not completely, as her eyes still darted around now and then to check her surroundings. But her antennae were mostly still.

“Nice to meet you, Levi. My name is Boot.” She extended her hand, glad that he’d thought to accommodate her height. 

[invaderoperaghost]

bloodintolerant:

He noted the sudden fussing with whatever was on her head, guessing it was an indicator of something important. He had also noticed that her scent was completely blank to him–minus the lingering scent of the gas–which meant that he had not met one of her kind before. Maybe she was a troll of some sort? But trolls were supposed to be stupid, and she seemed to be well equipped with… whatever sort of technology that was. Levi gently exhaled. There was a lot of information to take in.

❝ Why would people be scared of you? ❞ he asked, somewhat sceptically, although narrowed eyes soon widened again. If she was something to be scared of, he didn’t want to trigger a need for her to be defensive. He didn’t know what she was, so he didn’t know what she was capable of. And was she even a she? It felt weird to assume that.

❝ Not that I don’t relate to that. Most folks around here see me and run for cover. ❞ Albeit it because of his flatulence, not for anything legitimately scary ( although it could be argued that what came out of his backside was truly horrific. ) The fangs really didn’t seem to matter as much when he smelled the way he did. ❝ I ain’t afraid cause, uh, well… I’m not really normal myself. I’m a vampire, ❞ he said with a simple nod.

❝ Although I don’t really look like one. Speakin’a which, how come people are afraid of you? No offence, but even with me bein’ a vampire, a little guy like you doesn’t strike me as particularly frightening. Minus the killer gas, of course. ❞ 

A vampire? He was right, he didn’t look like any vampire she had met. Not as intimidating. She’d assumed him to be a typical human. This required more caution. 

She had mixed feelings on whether or not she wanted to be scary. She didn’t truly want to scare people, but she didn’t appreciate being underestimated, either. It seemed there wasn’t much middle ground for her on Earth.  Still, he had confided in her, and she was becoming at ease enough to confide in kind. “I’m an alien. An Irken. We kind of conquered or destroyed lots of planets, and we’re all trained as soldiers, so we’re generally feared or hated. On Earth, though, humans don’t know that. I think sometimes they just get scared when they see something unexpected. When I’m in disguise, like now, it’s usually not an issue unless something slips up, but it makes me a little nervous.”  She reached for her headgear and slipped one antennae out from it to show him briefly, putting it back quickly knowing that the smell of the gas would still be present. “See the antennae? I think I might seem like an over-sized bug or something.”

@invaderoperaghost // continued from here 

Boot paused, thinking of how to best explain herself. Truthfully, she wasn’t sure what had come over her. She hadn’t anticipated how crowded the place would be, thought she was getting some weird looks, and acted instinctively. She wasn’t sure how this one had resisted the knock out gas when the others hadn’t, although she had made sure to only equip herself with amounts that wouldn’t cause harm. Her antennae wiggled nervously underneath two layers- one equivalent to a gas mask, and the other, a pink hat with a black ribbon tied around it. “I’m sorry. I was feeling a little claustrophobic in the crowd and I may have slightly overreacted. Everyone should wake up shortly.” Looking around briefly at the collapsed crowd, she adds, “I should probably go.”

For once, a crowd had been knocked out and Levi’s backside was not responsible for it. This was a momentous occasion, and if there was someone out there who truly cared enough about it, they would have definitely written it down. He almost felt as though he had gotten stage fright—this sort of performance was instinctive to him whenever he stepped foot in a crowded area, and yet he had not conducted today’s gas-related outburst. He studied the scene for a moment, brows raised curiously. He was so amazed that he hadn’t even noticed how strange the creature in front of him was.

❝ Uh… ya know, there’s no need to apologise, really. Same thing would’a happened even if you weren’t here. I don’t like crowds much either. They mess with my gut, ❞ he admitted.

His brows lowered, but furrowed as he studied the other more closely. That was an unusual-looking appendage on top of their head…

❝ If ya don’t mind me askin’, how exactly did you do this? ❞

[invaderoperaghost]

She was surprised he wasn’t disturbed, but seemed merely curious. “You’d have done the same? Hmm...” 

That was interesting. He seemed to her to be a normal human. How would he have done something like this? He mentioned his gut...she decided to focus on answering his question rather than wondering about her own, for now. She explained, shrugging and gesturing at her PAK. “I released a gas from my PAK that would knock them out. I stay ready for it, just in case I’m surrounded in a crowd and need to get away.” 

She brushed her hand over her head, checking that her antennae were tucked away and hidden. She noticed the one that had slightly exposed itself while wiggling and her antennae shot up in alarm. She tried to calm herself down and pushed the antennae down and back into the hat and the protective covering. She didn’t want to overshare about her fear of discovery (she never had managed to find an effective way to disguise her green skin consistently) but she felt emboldened by his response. “Sometimes people are scared of me. They scream, and it makes me afraid, and I just need to get away before more people notice. So I overreact sometimes. But you don’t seem to be afraid.”

[invaderoperaghost]

“What the hell was that for?!”
