Chapter 1: Form
Song of the chapter: Feel the Quiet River Rage by Live. What? Another new story? How will I be able to keep up with so many stories?! No seriously, help. I just don't know what to do with my over imaginative mind! Anyways, let's see if I did a good job on this chapter or not...
"Come on little one, open your eyes… though, I guess you're not that little," was the first thing I heard when I… woke up. It was a beautiful and soothing sound that made me feel at ease. I opened my eyes and took a few moments to let me eyes adjust to the bright light. I studied my surroundings and found that I was in some sort of entirely closed domain. I don't remember the world being this small.
That was when I noticed that there was another being in the domain with me. This figure was standing above me and seemed to be studying me, but all I felt from it was a serene aura. This thing was… odd yet vaguely familiar. It had two layers. The undermost was furless and was a pale color which looked a bit chewy. The outermost layer which seemed to cover most of the furless layer except for its upper appendages and head, was sleek and smooth. Probably to help it travel faster in water. But then again, there was no water around. On its head, was a long layer of blonde fur that didn't seem to serve any purpose.
"How is it looking?" It spoke in the voice that I heard before I opened my eyes. Despite that it was looking at me with its green eyes, I didn't feel like it was talking to me. I tried to stand up, but felt that my legs were asleep and sluggishly responded. I looked down at them and…
I stared confusedly at the appendages below me. I flexed and saw them reacting in time. These were my legs? Why did they look so… foreign? I quickly checked the rest of my body and disturbingly found that everything seemed out of place. It… felt natural, but it looked the farthest thing from natural. Was this my body? Why couldn't I remember anything specific?
"Initial brain scans show everything's perfect," a voice echoed loudly. It was deeper then the figure's in front of me so I knew that it wasn't from it. I looked around again, but still only saw that we were the only two beings in this small domain. And something to make that loud of a noise had to be big enough to see surely? "Heart rate at resting was 68 bpm, but now it's sitting at 86 bpm. SV's read about 64ml. CO at resting is 4,352 ml/minute. Blood pressure was 120/65. MAP reads 83.33. Breathing rate is about 14 breaths per minute. Hearing and sight are working but further evaluation will be needed to determine full functionality. In other words, he's a success as well Miss Lusamine."
The figure in front of me smiled and laughed as she turned to the side.
"I can't believe all three of them were a success! We had just been hoping that one would have been successful and that the other two would have shown us flaws in our design. But to think we got it correct on the first try is truly is marvelous!" It turned to face me once again. "And how are you feeling? You must be oh-so confused right now. But you're absolutely adorable!"
The figure reached out one of its top limbs towards me. I quickly studied it and saw that at the end was an appendage that had five digits. The digits seemed to possess small little claws that looked like they wouldn't even be able to pierce my skin. They certainly weren't sharp enough to be anything like a stinger, so the threat of poison was highly unlikely. In fact, the entire figure's lethality appeared to be extraordinarily low. But still, I panicked at the sudden invasion into my personal space. So I let instincts take over and I went to bite the appendage with the digits on it but found that my jaws met no resistance and I bit air.
I looked back towards the figure and saw a look on its face that suddenly made me feel like I had done something wrong.
"I am your Mother! You do not snap at me," it said. Mother… that's what it called itself. Mother. My Mother. Mother. The word surfaced some vague feelings. That I shouldn't hurt Mother. Hurting Mother was a bad thing. Why had I tried to hurt Mother?
A touch on my face startled me from my thoughts. Mother had her digits on my face and she was… caressing me. I stared into her green eyes as she stared into mine.
"I understand. You must feel so lost and confused. But I will help you. All you have to do is listen to Mother and make sure you do everything she says. Do you think you can do that?" Mother asked me.
"Yes," I answered, my own voice was raspy and surprising myself. A smile crept onto Mother's face that sent an unexplainable chill down my spine.
"Excellent… I think I'm going to let you meet your brothers," she said. Brothers? That word also brought forth a similar feeling to that of Mother. Brothers…
"M-Miss Lusamine, I do not think that is a good idea," the foreign voice said, seeming to come from all around me. But again, there was not another figure in the room. "They have only just recently awoken and we need to confirm that they are psychologically stable. You being in there alone with them is already a big risk that I feel should not have been taken."
Mother seemed to wave one of her top limbs before going over towards the edge of the small domain. Suddenly, a space opened up which revealed even more of the world that was on the other side. So the world was bigger. Mother turned back to me.
"Nonsense. We must get the family together as soon as possible. We must make sure that they know that they are loved. Come 03," Mother said. I hesitated, but why? Without an answer to that I walked towards Mother, my muscles were stiff and still a bit sluggish. I was a bit eager to meet my… Brothers.
So, these opening chapters are basically what I imagine went down after 'Type: Full's creation. The things I'm hoping to get some feedback on from you, the readers, are how I write as '03' and Lusamine. Because they're both characters with traits that I'm not really used to. I mean, '03' is essentially experiencing everything for the first time. And since this is like 2-3 years before SuMo I'm estimating, Lusamine's probably pretty far gone but still not entirely bat-shit crazy. So review? Please? And follow/favorite if you thought this was interesting!
