"None in CEQ, but I hear that there are a few others in various militaries around the world. We're extremely rare though. I'd say single digits." He chuckled, though not with much humour.
"And yeah, they might at least go as far as providing mood music. Its more a case of screening people for infection, as well as certain genetic traits, and producing complex phylogeny models to make sure that there's no chance of inbreeding over the next few generations. Human reproduction is going to be based pretty much on mathematics rather than any kind of natural attraction for quite a long time now if the scientists have anything to say about it. We may have hardened during the war, but the plague has still turned us into farm animals. I don't think many people saw this side of it coming though."

Carmen seemed to shudder a small bit after listening to James explain the situation. [color=bb0066] "I know that I'm not one to talk, being a succubus and all, but it rubs me the wrong way to know that breeding, even between humans, is forced and completely unemotional. Though I understand the situation demands it..." [/color]

She finished off her glass and stretched herself out a bit. [color=bb0066] "So you're a rare breed, huh? Hopefully they don't decide to use you for the breeding process just for your abilities." [/color]

"Hey, don't worry about it. I don't like the idea either. Having said that, I don't actually see the connection between sex and stealing memories anyway. Is it just a lure, or does it have some more vital function?" James asked. On the second point he shrugged listlessly.

"I don't think they'll want to promote the continued existence of the virus in any form. Having said that, they may still want at least one of us for it to find out how the virus would affect any children we could have. They seem to think that we can't infect a partner with the virus, but that might be up for testing too." He drained the bottle in one go and put it back on the bar.

"As long as I'm here, I won't be thinking too much about it. Maybe they'll wait til the war is officially over, and I can just disappear."

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen looked up for a moment. [color=bb0066] "It's mostly as a lure... or more accurately, a hook. After draining someone once... and if they manage to stay alive, a succubus could easily erase or edit memories to insert themselves into more important ones, eventually taking over the person's mind. They'd only think of their seductress and so on, basically becoming a slave to them." [/color]

She tilted her head again hearing him talk about disappearing. [color=bb0066] "Hmm... why would you want to disappear?" [/color] She asked, seemingly slightly concerned.

 

[Random berk]

"That does sound pretty sinister." James remarked. "As for disappearing... all kinds of reasons. I'm basically a living weapon now. There's no place for something like that in a postwar society. And after everything I've lost, and everything I've done, I don't know if I could ever fit into a peaceful life again. Of course, I haven't ruled out the possibility that the few virally enhanced humans out there might be rounded up and destroyed after the war, to cleanse every last trace of the virus."

 

[DotSlash]

[color=bb0066] "That's... a bit brutal. As long as they run enough tests, wouldn't they know that you wouldn't spread your virus by living anyway? Just wiping you out just because they didn't have any foresight doesn't make any sense to me." [/color] Carmen replied before turning toward him. [color=bb0066] "You may have done things you've regretted, but I don't see how you can't use that as a way to help live a peaceful life. Remembering those things will help remind you that you got back from Hell to live again, throwing that second chance away seems like a waste." [/color]

OOC: Oh shit, the sun is rising...

"Just because it's moronic doesn't mean they won't do it. This is the government we're talking about, remember?" James chuckled before standing up.

"Bringing a piece of Hell back with me is what I'm worried about." He said, tapping his left temple with a finger. "Because that's what my mind is now. A tool forged in hell. If I went crazy or suffered from some kind of vivid flashbacks, there's not a thing that human civilians could do to stop me. But don't worry. I'm not planning on doing myself in or anything, at least not seriously." He stretched and yawned.

"It's really late, we should be getting to sleep. It's been nice talking with you though Carmen. Let's do it again soon, eh?"

OOC: And I am out.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen nodded as she rose out of her seat and waved James off. [color=bb0066] "It's been a pleasure, James. We'll chat again sometime." [/color] Soon enough, the succubus headed off to bed, transforming her wings into a large snake once again.

@Berk: Night dude.

 

[Silver Shadow]

OoC: Anyone here?

 

[Kirke]

OoC: @Silver: Yeah, I'm here.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

OoC: Here I am!

 

[Silver Shadow]

OoC: Okay im back from my nap @Kikre, Want to fight ? also hello gear

Gold pulled himself out of bed, groaning from the hangover. Shuffling out of bed and out of his small separate room, he dived into the lake his hotel room held, waking himself up. After that, he pulled himself out of the lake and changed into a military uniform, grimacing at it. Shrugging, he walked out into the hallway for his bedroom, and wandered into the lounge.

 

[Kirke]

Tophat sat in the lounge with closed eyes, deep in thought.

 

[FPSfanatic]

OoC: @Kirke isn't Tophat a, you know, hat?

 

[Kirke]

OoC: @FPS: Tophat has the ability to control humans bodies. Indeed, for much of the time it's been in threads, it has been on top of a Chuck Norris clone. This was back in the silly days of WAOA 2, so the clone can regrow lost body parts, lose obscene amounts of blood and doesn't need to eat or drink. But it is not much stronger than a regular human, and is as squishy. It can survive far more than a human, but cannot fight much longer than one. Also, sorry for the late reply.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen sauntered into the lounge, yawning a small bit as she poured herself a drink at the bar. [color=bb0066] Yesterday was somewhat interesting. Plenty of new faces to observe... [/color]

 

[FPSfanatic]

@Kirke my late replies are not much better.
Gold Had settled into a couch just before Carmen walked in, and waved before pulling out a pokedex. he began screwing around on it, playing angry pidgeys and the like.

 

[DotSlash]

Somewhat bored, Carmen eventually looked over Gold's shoulder to watch him mess around with the pokedex. [color=bb0066] "... So this is what you humans do for fun? Watch balls smash into small structures?" ...This explains a lot about them... [/color]

 

[FPSfanatic]

Gold looked up from his game of angry pidgeys, and shrugged. "Mostly distraction, instead of fun. Got nothing else to do, so I fling birds into buildings."
