[If you want near the recreation center, or the training halls that evening you might here the sound of crashing, breaking--animalistic growls of frustrations. More beast than man.

You might see the punching bag go flying or the dummy getting splintered into chips of wood. The equipment is meant to withstand the force of someone has angry--~~hurt, afraid~~--as M-21 is at that moment. He had searched, called, and hunted down all the leads he could find, but the fact he had to face.

M-24 was gone. Again.

De--

--He punches the bag hard enough it cracks the wall behind it. Stares for a few seconds, almost as if he doesn't even notice the damage. He looks down and notices that without even trying...his hands have changed...thick fur up to his elbows, sharp claws curling to dig into his own palms as he clenches them. That hasn't happened subconsciously in a long time. He's not controlling himself.]

...You damn idiot.

[He doesn't know who he's saying it to.]

	[ ...oh, so he can make that go away. Noted! She seems impressed, but gives him a firm shake regardless. ] Exactly 30 days, counting today. [ Taking the hand back, she shrugs a shoulder. ] It feels longer, but that's probably because even though I find things to do, this isn't nearly as active as I'm used to being.

	[M-21 would agree with that. There's not nearly as much to do around here as he was used to.] The activity here is limited. [Even the day when all the people showed up wasn't that big. Everyone was gone soon after.] How bored do people get? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You can say that, again. [ She shakes her head. ] I'm not sure, but I bet those who have been here a while are tired of the same old, same old. I mean, when you look at it, the dome is almost like a giant mall! With a game center, and coffee, and a pool, and stuff... Even if it had twice the number of "attractions", a few months could go by and then you've tried everything.

	Malls have housing in them where you come from? [Yes, this is M-21 being serious. He thought of the place like a dollhouse village, but if she thinks it is like a mall...he wonders what kind of world she comes from.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She rubs a hand against the back of her head and laughs a bit. ] Some have hotels attached! And there's another big difference -- no money! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-10-23 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	[He thinks he may have seen a hotel like that before. But only in passing. They rarely--if ever--stayed in places like that while on missions. And he rarely used money before--Frankenstein paid for most things--so he doesn't really miss it.] So you like it here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mm, that's a tricky question. [ She starts pacing in a circle, hands pulling on the ends of the towel at her neck. ] Do I want to be here? No. I have things I have to do back home, and I don't trust any replacements to take my place.

Is it so bad here? Maybe not. There are things to do, and we're not mistreated if you ignore the first part.

[ Then she stops and turns to him. ] I know others want to leave, too, so I'm sure we'll find a way out, someday. But I can still do some good while I wait and think. It's what keeps me going.

	Not much good being done here. It's pointless if you go right back to where you were. [Like M-24 who is going back to die.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highest_caliber 2011-10-24 04:52 pm UTC (link)
	Protecting people is important to me, no matter who it is, or where I am, or what the situation is. If... [ She hesitates, because he does have a point, and she can't really give full context in a timely fashion. ] The time spent here doesn't have to be a waste. [ Tiny, reassuring smile. ] I can't speak for everyone, but that's what I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-10-25 01:46 am UTC (link)
	There doesn't seem to be much protection needed. [He's been here for over a week and the biggest problem he's noticed is that the Engineers like to play games. He hasn't smelled much blood in the air.] How do you protect people who don't need it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highest_caliber 2011-10-25 03:49 am UTC (link)
	There is always a need. I don't want to think about bad things happening to anyone, and it's quiet now, but I was told that it wasn't always like that, and I can't just think it will stay like this forever. The Defense Force wouldn't exist if there wasn't a need for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-10-26 12:00 am UTC (link)
	Sounds like there's a need because they say there is. [M-21 doesn't have the greatest respect for law enforcement--especially when they get to make up the laws.] If the prison breaks down and people are dying, then I'll think they're needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Funny that he should mention those things... ] Since I wasn't here for any of the incidents I heard about, I just have to take their word for it. Either way, I get to run my drills and keep my skills sharp, so that's fine, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-10-26 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Che. [In the end it doesn't matter to him.] Whatever works for you. [He turns and goes back to cleaning up the mess of broken wood on the ground.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highest_caliber 2011-10-26 02:21 am UTC (link)
	[ She has to wonder, now, what this man had against an organization like that. Subaru approaches silently and kneels to lay the towel down on the ground. Then she begins to pick up the bit of debris and put them in the towel for carrying. Back to their original topic. ] What kind of training do you like to do, M-21? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-10-26 02:28 am UTC (link)
	[He has to wonder why all of this matters to her. And why she's helping. He'd tell her to stop, but he's not in the mood to get into a debate over it.] Real training. Fighting. [He doesn't bother to call it "sparring."] Why, kid? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highest_caliber 2011-10-26 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Curiosity. [ She pauses, turning over a large splinter between her fingers. ] I've been doing lots of mobility and strength training in my free time, but I'm used to simulated combat exercises and rescue drills. [ A little laugh. ] I think Lieutenant Vita would think I'm slacking off if she saw me, now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-10-28 02:04 am UTC (link)
	[Simulations? Lieutenant? She's either military or law enforcement.] Then find someone to train with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highest_caliber 2011-10-28 02:43 am UTC (link)
	That's what I was asking. [ She smiles over to him. It's not easy to ask someone who she doesn't know too well "hey, want to fight?", and it's not how she rolls. But he certainly had strength, so just maybe... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-10-29 12:52 am UTC (link)
	[He looks her over, understanding now. Sorry, he's not one for subtlety. He also remembers the conversation he had with Buffy about the difference between his training and others. But still.] Date and location. [Now or later? He needs to finish cleaning up the mess.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highest_caliber 2011-11-01 02:40 am UTC (link)
	I have nothing planned, if you're not busy. [ Subaru is almost always ready to go and, honestly, the prospect has her excited. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-11-03 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	[His eyes slide over to the mess on the floor.] Not tonight. [He'll be making sure all of this is put to rights.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highest_caliber 2011-11-03 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	Alright, then. [ She's not put off in the least. Smiling. ] Call me whenever, and I'll make the time. Sound good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	securitydog 2011-11-06 10:18 am UTC (link)
	Fine. [Or they'll run into each other again. M-21 isn't one much for calling people.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
