Neon Gravestones Try to Call for My Bones

Unlike the other members of her guild, of which were probably taking advantage of this chaos to cause even more chaos. She didn't plan on joining them. Science and experiments came first, then her loyalties to her guild's goals. Well a lot of things came before that, she wasn't very loyal, she was only in the guild cause it was convenient to her. The only thing she remained loyal to was herself, and her own goals, and when she wasn't working that she was out inventing or studying the strange things in this world.
Today wasn't like any other, not as far as she could remember. Which granted, wasn't that far back, but still. She saw on the news that a substance called 'Moon Pollen', had been falling from the now blacked out moon, similar to that of snow or pollen. For some reason it had been warping personalities and with it, it brought an array of strange new monsters that they haven't dealt with before. Delta assumed the pollen didn't effect her own personality because she had an artificially altered body and blood, being that it cleared out sicknesses and healed wounds faster then any normal blood. So upon hearing about this incident, she left as soon at possible.
Where did she go? Well she wasn't one for crowds, but the more the people, more monsters there was likely to be. So to Magnolia Town she went, a town known for it's sightseeing spots and festivals. First thing she did beforehand was act as a guildless mage that wanted to help out, as to get a job and get money. Cause you can go wrong with money. Her guild tattoo was hidden underneath her shirt on her shoulder, and she had no problems with lying, so she was easily able to do so. The only thing that the Nov worried about was having to work with somebody, something was wasn't very fond of doing. She preferred to work every job independently, it was hard to work with others, she couldn't predict everything they were going to do like she could with machines. But she's realized that it actually can be easier with people, well if the people cooperated.
The teenager didn't bother taking a train, who knew how well they were running right now, so instead she used her hoverboard. It moved plenty fast, so in no time at all she'd got herself to her destination. Immediately she went towards the middle of the town, figuring that may be a good place to start. It was dark, but her eyes could see through it easily, she could also easily see from a distance a singular person standing under a lamppost. Considering how deserted the street was, she figured everybody else had already evacuated this area, it wouldn't be strange if this wasn't the other person hired to do the job. Reluctantly, she approached, her hoverboard deconstructed itself, the nanobots dissipated into the air or into the scientist. So when she was a couple yards away she was walking. "Hey, were you also sent to investigate the moon pollen?" She said, but figured she should add another few words, she spoke again, "And deal with the monsters?" Waiting for the response, she planted a hand on her hip and adjusted her backpack.

The scientist liked the look of this girl so far, well not her appearance, but her personality. More so her apparent lack of one. This wiped away her past worry of having someone that wouldn't work well with her, this girl seemed to act as if she was a robot. She called herself '7', which wasn't a very normal name as far as she knew, though her own wasn't much better. Maybe she was some sort of lab experiment herself? It was the only logical thing she could thing of that she would have a number for a name, but it would be a rather odd coincidence. Either that or her parents hated her. After that she gave another name, just in case calling her by 'Syv' would make her more comfortable. Which to Delta, just sounded like if you cut the last two letters off of seven.
"I don't really care." The teenager said in response to her name, which was the truth, she didn't really care. She was on the same page as the clone that this was just a temporary business relationship, they were only going to work together for how long? Maybe more then an hour, and probably never see each other again. But either way, just to finish off the introductions she simply said, "You can call me Delta." Since it would just be easier to give out her name then have to deal with any possible confusion. Kinda strange that she kept the name given to her by the people who stole her memories and experimented on her, but she didn't really have anything else to call herself. And just like the powers they forced into her, she was going to own the name. At least it was better then simply being called number 4.
The Nov saw the same thing that 7 did, almost something of a pack of what she could only assume to be mothers, ravaging buildings and attacking strange floating pumpkins. Perhaps this was the personality changes she heard so little about? Which would make sense, mothers were known to be nurturing and loving, but she wouldn't know that outside of things she sees on TV or in books. She thought it best to avoid them, since they were technically normal civilians, but if they attacked her she wouldn't have any trouble doing harm to them. Her attention was pulled away by the sound of her current job partner's voice. She looked in the directions Syv was looking, her eyes turned green, and almost like a camera her vision zoomed closer the the enemies that the lab creation described. She returned her eyes to their default state and assessed the situation.
"Yes, let's proceed." She said, materializing her glowing green arrow blade into her hand. "Just don't get surrounded, if you figure anything out about their attack strategy tell me." The scientist ordered, if she didn't follow the orders that might make it slightly harder for the teenager. Because she could assess plenty without attacking, but not enough to know anything of significance. The floating pumpkins remained closer to the ground despite being able to float, so she assumed they would mainly attack feet, ankles and legs. The wolves would most likely attack like normal wolves, with their teeth and claws, on top of something else. Though I guess she wouldn't know anything for certain unless she attacked. She figured she might as well start on this pack ahead of them and hoped the girl with her pulled her own weight.
Pointing her blade she shot it at one of the wolves that remained ahead of them. When she felt the feeling of it stabbing into her victim, she retracted the blade. And right before the wolf made contact with her body, she lifted a leg and yanked the grappling hook so the candle canine would make a harsh impact with her boot. When it did so, the knife was yanked from it's side so it could fully retract. So now that the wolf was now bleeding profusely and mildly concussed, she made sure to finish it off by beheading it. This whole thing only took ten seconds at most, but it certainly got the rest of the pack's attention. Which luckily for them, only appeared to be two, but they no longer had the element of surprise on their side.

It wasn't long before the artificial being had dealt with the remaining two out of the pack of three wolves. She was also perplexed by the appearances and abilities of the wolves. The scientist recorded her findings and the information told to her by Syv, on a document on her iLac. She didn't like magic very much, none of it made a lot of sense, it wasn't like her nanorobotic abilities that could be explained if you had enough brain power to understand. There may be stuff to understand about magic, but most of it was hidden under a cloud of mystery. How did wolves seemingly made of wax create balls of lightning from their maws?
She wrote down theories, but all of it lead back to the fact that she knew next to nothing about this moon pollen. Perhaps it was an act of terrorism using an artificially crafted air borne chemical compound that resembled, well, pollen. Another thing she'd love to study was her partner, but she didn't think that was legal or within her current abilities at this time. Her brown gaze examined the clone's movements as she finished off the last candle wolf, putting her possible theories about 7 down on a separate document.
As she asked for new orders, the Nov stuffed the iLac back into her back pocket and unmaterialized the knife, seeing that they were no longer in combat. She pondered an answer to the questions asked, she liked that she was in charge and that her temporary minion, I mean partner was carrying out her orders without fault. It was certainly a first, thought at the beginning she hoped she wouldn't have to work with someone again. Working with someone with such a robotic personality as 7, who was basically just a human shaped weapon, well it was very convenient to say the least. Though she figured luck wouldn't go her way, and she wouldn't be able to work with her again. Or suddenly she would have a personality change and no longer be as cooperative as she is now.
"We'll start investigating the pollen." She ordered, pausing to finish creating her next  order in her head, "But still remain cautious, this area still isn't fully secured of the monsters." Using he enhanced senses she surveyed her surroundings, no enemies were within the close vicinity, but there were still some around the blocks in what seemed to be every direction. They'd have to be careful, hopefully the sounds of their previous battle didn't reach them, but just in case she remained attentive. Now to studying, the start of it was always the hard part. She retrieved from baggies and bottles from her pack. Delta then proceeded to squat down and gather some of the wax from the wolf she beheaded, she placed that in a baggie after closing it and placed it into her backpack. She did the same with the other two wolves and with the pollen. She pulled her iLac out and typed some things down within it. Though she appeared distracted she was still very much aware of the creatures around herself, especially 7.

Delta was busy doing her own thing, she didn't bother keeping that close an eye on the clone, didn't think she needed to. Figure she could make herself useful in some way shape or form, if not, she did the very least by staying out of the scientist's way. Of course she kept track of her, but just enough as to make sure she wasn't going to try something funny like stab her in the back or run off and cause a ruckus. So she couldn't warn her, and didn't know that she needed to, when she got to close to the pollen. Typically in science experiments you don't lick or snort the thing you're studying. She figured that was obvious enough, but I suppose not.
She remained a hand full of steps away from Syv, busying herself by grabbing more samples off the wolf. Skinning it of some of it's flesh, some fur, teeth, whatever else. They were to big to carry in her cooler pack, so she could only take bits and pieces of them and make do with that. She'd have to grab one of the floating pumpkin things on the way out, see if she could do some dissecting on that. Her attention was pulled away from her studying to here the girl wailing not to far from her. From her professional, bland and easy to command around nature, these sudden surge of emotions that she was showing she didn't see as typically normal. So much for all that praising she was giving the girl, what was this emotional wreck? The Nov assumed this to be the effect of the pollen, it did give one in four people personality changes. It didn't effect herself, and she thought it wouldn't effect her job companion either, but I guess it could. Little did she know that it wouldn't normally, it's just cause she up and ingested a ton of it all at once.
Delta wasn't much for emotions herself, yeah she had them, just typically didn't show them. She was to hardened from all that's happened to her to start crying all the time, randomly throwing herself onto other for comfort and all that. She was fueled by anger, and if it started to boil over she stepped away and calmed herself by inventing, planning, and all that. If it was to much she'd take it out on some random people, that was one good thing about being in a dark guild, she could needlessly kill and they wouldn't think her weird because of it. Other then that, she bottled everything else up, she trusted no one. Not the best coping mechanism I know. But since she wasn't the best with her own emotions, you can guess how she was with other people. Comforting and calming people down was not in her large repertoire of talents. She was into technological science, and would often pursue others. Psychological science wasn't one of them.
She remained completely silent, completely confused as 7 changed from sobbing to enraged. Ranting to Delta, looking to her for some sort of comfort that wasn't there. She ranted about this Doctor Raelin, she made a mental note to look into him later. But her hypothesis was right that she was some sort of experiment like herself. Though 7 was some sort of clone, while she was originally human. Well, at least she thought she was, but it was hard to be sure when she didn't have those memories. Back on topic about how she was handling her freaking out. She slowly approached her, not wanting her to lash out at her, she wasn't sure what she would do in this unstable state. She stopped a few feet away from her, and spoke in the most calming voice as she could. But it wasn't the best.
"I believe this is an effect of the pollen, since this is a common symptom." She said, gesturing with her hands "Your personality changes I mean." Her brown gaze removed itself from the artificial being's crimson one. It searched their surroundings, her tantrum was rather loud, understandably, emotions were a very confusing thing. But probably not the best in the middle of a hoard of monster that they didn't know much about. Sure, these monsters didn't know that they were there, well at least they didn't. The Nov wasn't so sure now, she was trying to keep it down as to not gather their attention. If things got to sketchy they might have to retreat.
