@ofmasters liked for a starter
“Does the effigy have a mind of its own?” It is a question he always wanted to ask of a Chroma, though most of the time those walking with the brooding dragons thought themselves too stoic to be bothered with answering. “I mean, it probably doesn’t.. but I wanna know.”
Paetgeon reaches out though stops for a second, rethinking his course of action. Then he simply follows through and pokes the Chroma’s arm. It is a wild thought to him that the frame could remove part of itself and have it attack things on it’s own will, seemingly, at least.

You are Nekros. Manipulator of souls. Harbinger of the Orokin. You walk the battlefield, desolation following in your footsteps.
You have been taken.

"No more locking it all away. You tell me when it’s bad. Share it with me. Okay?"
Paetgeon thought he was good at hiding away the moments when nightmares came crawling, ripping his mind to shreds with vivid recollection, or times passed where small motions made him flinch out of expectancy. In truth anyone that looked upon the youth for long enough could see without doubt that something was wrong. The only reason he felt that he had gotten away with it up to this point was the lack of anyone who cared.
Transference is tempting now. Ignis could not see how he reacted then, while hidden within sickly flesh-metal. No one would be able to. A faceless entity of carnage- that is all he had been for so long that anything else was nothing short of terrifying. It was easier before. Paetgeon was told what to do, where to do it, when to leave. Independence had been a pure unknown and now that he had a taste everything shattered and he was left lost to his own devices. It had not helped either when the only guide for any of them left without reason. A false parental that abandoned them to endless war.
The Tenno is not certain when the pinpricks of tears had begun to form in the creases of his eyes and he nods slow, a measured movement to keep himself steady. One that isn’t working. He notices only after the streaks wet his face that he had started crying. A sleeve decorated with gold raises to wipe away the tears and all that can be managed is a small nod, gaze dropping away from Ignis.
Even now he is adrift within the unknown despite for the first time in his long life having ever felt safe. Paetgeon cannot be sure what to do with himself now. Part of his mind wants to go back to hiding- he is good that. To cope was to run, to kill, to maim and toy with the dead. As grotesque as those activities were they also let the Tenno survive not only in body but mind. Distractions that took every ounce of focus.
But they won’t work here. Every since arriving the weapons had been stowed away and unused. It felt so wrong too, being vulnerable as he was, even though the Warframe stood watch just out of view.
Bringing up his hands he rubs his eyes and looks to Ignis again, still and silent for a beat longer before moving to wrap his arms around the taller’s form. His face buries into Ignis’s shoulder and a choked out thank you manages to slip out. It is all he can manage to show his gratitude.

torchwood (series 2) starters
And look at you, trying so hard to be all grown up.
Did you miss me?
What’s to fix? You don’t mess with this level of perfection.
I came back for you.
See, now you’ve given yourself away. Only someone who’s bluffing ever says they’re not.
Did I mention I’m armed?
What can you be doing that’s more important than me?
You went to murder rehab?
The odd kill, who does it hurt?
Here and now, that’s what’s important. The work we do, the person I am now. That’s what I’m proud of.
What kept me fighting was the thought of coming home to you.
Are you asking me out on a date?
We should be up there, among the stars, claiming them for our own.
Remind me never to get on your bad side.
Your bedside manner’s rubbish.
They know more about this place than I do. Nobody knows more than I do.
I have to stay away from you. If I don’t, I’m gonna end up hurting you.
Each one of us must fight on to the end. Whenever that is.
I could murder a cup of tea.
You talk about your life like you’ve got no control over it.
Do you never wonder if we’re worth saving?
I think we’re worth saving. Wars and all.
I was just thinking, I’d do anything for you.
I don’t really know where I really belong. Maybe that doesn’t matter anymore.
Stop pissing me around. You’re so used to lying and fobbing me off like the idiot I obviously am.
All I ever asked was for you trust me.
Is there anything in your life that’s actually based on truth?
All you did tonight was mess things up.
I just wish you were a bit uglier.
You really think you could go back to your old life before this?
You can’t block out the past forever.
I can’t afford to remember.
How far would you go for me? I need to know. Would you die for me?
Knowing there has to be more to life than this. Knowing I’m special. Waiting for someone to see it.
You save one life, a hundred lives, but it’s never enough. Who’ll save me?
No, I don’t do flowers. And I definitely don’t do apologies.
Come on, be honest. You just came all this way to see me.
You know, none of us know whether to take you seriously when you say those things.
I wasn’t ready to give up on you. I guess I was hoping for a miracle. And I still am.
Are we seriously going to act on something she’s googled?
It almost sounds as if you care. Well done.
I didn’t realise we were in competition.
I’ve seen you save so many lives. Are you really going to let this beat you?
It’s not bad that you need help.
I believed people. I believed them when they said it would get better.
You can say what you like. I’m not leaving you.
No more locking it all away. You tell me when it’s bad. Share it with me. Okay?
I’m scared. I’m scared that if I close my eyes I’ll get trapped in the darkness.
Listen, you’d better start trusting me, okay?
Are you being rude about me?
What’s with the attitude? You’ve got a face like a slapped arse.
You used to care. You used to be bothered about people. Didn’t matter who they were, or what they did.
It’s the hope that’s killing me.
It was better when I didn’t know. Before you, I had hope.
First I’m going to kiss him, then I’m going to kill him.
It’s going to be dangerous. Think you could bear a little danger?
What am I supposed to do with those memories?
We don’t have a song. And if we did have a song, it wouldn’t be this song.
I’m keeping more secrets than you’d believe.
Hold on a minute, do I mean fun or do I mean carnage? I get them confused.
I’m gonna need a really good reason not to shoot you within the next twenty seconds.
There’s always a choice.
The only strength I have is my hatred for you.
You saved me.

ringpyre:
doesn’t know— oh… oh dear. they’ve had their fair shares of strange encounters with people from other worlds. this must be what this is, then. perhaps some ACCIDENT on the other’s side sent them here. it would make SENSE, of course. of course, this wouldn’t be like the others, because they’re never the same.
❝ your cephalon— ❞ a head of an arthropod?— ❝ is correct in not giving you an answer. this is eos. i’ve never heard of “earth” or “lua”. although, i have a theory already that you must not be from this… area of the universe. ❞ he understands the CONFUSION now.
he’s seen a lot of things lately, from living gods to his very own prince wielding MAGIC, something hardly anyone knows MUCH about. surely ALIENS shouldn’t be a far - fetch. it would explain the newcomer’s APPEARANCE quite nicely. he doubts something so kind yet so intimidating would be created(?) here on eos.
Eos. He mulls over the name and thinks about the potential that had been the Tau system. There is no way this planet could be there, though. The Orokin had been so certain nothing and no one were already living there before sending the awful machines to transform planets into livable habitats. It was the only place even relatively close to them so just where was he in the universe, now?
Shifting from foot to and head turning just enough to suggest his gaze has moved elsewhere, Paetgeon is looking at the others of the party. People. Dangerous people, apparently, though protectors too if he had to guess. “You might be correct. I didn’t even know there were other places that had.. well, people, beyond where I am from.”
Maybe if the Orokin had been around longer this place too might have been found- oh but he does not want to imagine that. No one should ever have to encounter the awful cruelty that were the Oro. “I can leave if me being here is a problem.” Paetgeon doesn’t want to intrude, figures the antics already passed from his presence alone were more than enough. But where was he to go?

“You’re just a child”
Time had passed faster than he realized. A handful of months and the Tenno grew comfortable in the new surroundings as best he could. Though, what was becoming apparent quickly is that staying in his Nekros forever was not something that could be achieved. Phantom muscles and bones ache from lack of use- he hasn’t been in the Warframe for such a stretch of time in years.
Paetgeon finds himself in a moment of disarray, while it could be easy to wander off and use transference well out of sight for a few minutes in the least, perhaps simply unveiling the secret was better in the long run. There is no foreseeable way for him to return to the Origin System anyways.
He’d gotten Ignis’s attention without much effort (something that the Tenno never realized before that brought a feeling of delight to him) with only a statement. ‘I want to show you something’. There is no backing out of it now. Plenty of tricks could be played and specters shown but the one true ruse was far bigger than fleshy ghosts ever could hope.
A breath of pause, hesitation, before the Irkalla grows still and the child within steps out from nothing in a swirling color of energy. Eyes of gold seem uncertain and don’t look up to Ignis quite yet. You’re just a child.. Oh, how many times has he heard that now? Part of him wants to argue that he is more, but there is no way for the other to know that. Perhaps in time his horrible history will come into the light but there will certainly be other questions premediating that violence.

ringpyre:
his attention is grabbed immediately when they talk, takes a step forward whispering he’ll take care of this. ( he’s better at TALKING, than the others when it comes to tense situations as this. ) ❝ i must apologize on my charge’s behalf. you… look rather much like a daemon, they only come out at night and as you can see it’s dark out. we jumped to conclusions. ❞
a brief pause as he inspected the other closer. not a daemon from the looks of it, the flesh looks rather much like metal and is SYNTHETIC in nature, unlike the hard cartilage that surrounds most daemons. similar to that of iron giants, perhaps, but more… hm. flexible?
not only that but they sound YOUNG. ❝ if you don’t mind my asking, where are you from? surely not here. otherwise you wouldn’t be out here so late. ❞ which, speaking of, they should find a haven soon.
A step back is taken in turn of the one towards him, more than ready to leap away again should they instead decide his words are not enough to merit civil conversation. Though not a moment later is he proved wrong, yet still unable to relax, he has been around too long now to find himself at ease by mere words alone.
“I uh.. I don’t think I know what that is,” he says, offering an almost nervous chuckle. Many had called him and his kind something similar before. It was not a kind name for what had happened, but then again, most all had no clue what made them as they were. “Sorry for causing issues.”
And it is one of the very few times where that sentiment is genuine. If Paetgeon was the root of chaos then it was almost always very intentional. Shifting on his feet and curling fingers around the opposite forearm he seems, if anything, uneasy. “Lua- where is here, exactly? It looks like Earth but my Cephalon is telling me it isn’t.”

ringpyre:
he’s not seen a daemon quite like this one. it SEEMS to be similar to the gargoyles they’ve faced time after time when they stayed out far too late, but there’s something… inherently OFF about it. perhaps the ectoplasma that seems to float around its body, or how HUMANOID its movements are.
or that it isn’t fighting back. which, frankly, should be some kind of signal. but noctis already went headfirst into battle, warping to the foe before he can get a chance to grab his wrist and ask him to THINK about this battle first. and— dammit.
it’s jumping around fluidly, avoiding all their attacks and perhaps they should REGROUP before this continues on and they’re too tired to do anything else. ❝ everyone to me, we need to regroup! ❞ he eyes the entity warily as it continues to avoid and dodge their attacks and notes how it’s far more INTELLIGENT than any daemon they’ve faced. ( which begs the question on if it’s even a daemon in the first place. )
A silent woah had been uttered when there was suddenly someone before him, one who was decidedly unfriendly despite his best efforts to try and be as non-threatening as possible. Bullet jumping had always been his one true ally and that proves to be the same here, in a world so very different from his own, from one spot to another with grace almost unfitting given the spindly appearance his Frame held.
Hearing the voice has his attention for a few seconds, motion paused and staring down at them from where he hangs partially off a rooftop. Okay, maybe now they will be open to talking? It couldn’t hurt to try. Paetgeon hopes so, at least. Stock still save for the minute motion of energy wisps twisting in the air, he lingers and watches, seconds ticking by.
When the Irkalla does move again it is a slow descent back down from where he had been clinging almost as if for dear life, to the lip of the roof. Feet alight and hands are held up placatingly with the light clink of metal chain against one another. “Hey, I am not looking to make some more enemies, if that is cool with you guys.”

@ringpyre gets a lost kiddo
Void Gates were particularly temperamental, even before the creators were wiped out. Now the dangers presented are only enhanced by a greed driven faction unaware their own ruin was sitting seconds away. He’d gotten out and to the extraction point just before the collapse ripped apart the Orokin Tower, hands clinging to the innards of the Liset and mind just barely catching his Cehalon’s panic.
It had been the last thing he recalled, and that was hours ago. Despite the protests of his vessel’s voice Paetgeon had departed upon learning they were thrown into uncharted territory, (reminiscent of home but less toxic) and overwhelming curiosity drove motion forward.
Now, he is more than aware that the Irkalla was quite unsettling to people unfamiliar it, but he has also managed to get the point across on more than one occasion that he really isn’t as threatening as appearances told. Which is what he is trying to do, but people keep yelling at him and he really hasn’t had the chance to say anything.

spare-15:
Stepping around the ejector seat, his hand takes the Nekros’ wrist to examine just how intertwined with its plating the para cord had become. He lets go to take a small section of cord and give it a light tug, doing so repeatedly with other lines; a test to see where the loose ends were. Finding one that could be pulled far enough away from Paetgeon’s arm, he slipped the knife beneath it to cut it in two. This action would continue for a handful of minutes, silent and methodical, until the leftovers could be pulled away without any effort.
With a click, the knife collapsed and returned to its pouch, a couple of steps taken back to return their personal space. Only then could Trigger get a proper look at the foreign being, take in the details of its armor and what he assumed was skin. His mouth opened for a moment and then closed, not finding the proper words to form an inquiry or a statement quite yet. The ace’s mind was still frazzled from the crash, trying to figure out what to do next. With the threat of imminent death gone, the next challenge would be surviving in the wild.
Osea wouldn’t come looking for him, he sighed, there’d be no rescue. Once they saw the smoke if they arrived quick enough to scout the area he’d be marked as KIA. Fitting given his conviction; what did Bandog call it… atonement for his sins. There really wasn’t anywhere for him to go so he might as well stick to this stranger if they’ll let him right? Turning slightly to place a hand stop the back of the chair and speaks again…
“ Thank you. “
Paetgeon keeps his gaze down on the knife, form easing as moments tick on by where no hostile actions are made. In the light breeze wisps of energy decorating his Warframe dance about, fingers wiggling a little after the parachord is free and falls down into the grass below. He turns the limb over a few times again and then drops it to his side.
Now he is staring, hm. Rocking back on his heels as an almost nervous gesture there isn’t much that he can be sure to do. Even the grand engines attached to the small of his back seem to shift and change with motion of unease. There is no threat here but simple fact in being the world about him is so different than what he is familiar with. Hopefully others would be so kind.
Glancing down to the chair and then back to the stranger again, Paetgeon seems to perk up at the words. An internal smile forms and carries along within the voice projected by a mouthless face. “I should be thanking you for racing around with me.” A giddly little laugh to follow in the voice of an adolescent. “I am happy that you are alright, though.”
Saving people was on par with the norm for him, a day to day activity along with that of slaughter and foolish antics.
