Skipbeat turned when he heard his name being called, smiling to see that it was Delta and Build.
"D-Delta, I see you also got the s-summons." The youngling greeted his brother. "How are the t-twins?"
The silver Decepticon had an immense fear of Autobots and that was what Delta used to be, but the strong friendship he had with the other that soon developed into a brotherly bond quelled the mechling's phobia. He was; however, still nervous near Build. It was hard for Skipbeat to erase the phantoms of his past when he would catch sight of her blue optics.

"Yes we did, and I wish I knew Skip they are missing, the realm patrol is searching for them, Build and I came in case this LOGOS took them to ensure we came. I hope that isn't the case. " Delta replied as he began to scan the wall and what lay beyond it.
Build looked at Skip who was always a bit nervous around her and she knew why and did not blame him in the least. " You haven't seen them have you Skip? and What do you make of this place Skip? this wall is so precisely built it seems almost too perfect for one from any of the known universe to have built it. "
Build was worried about her children but she knew she had to be delicate with Skip and let Delta handle most of the talk on the matter.
Delta shut off his scanner array and said " I don't know if its what this wall is made of or something blocking them but i cannot get a solid reading beyond them. There is a massive power source of some type, if the readings are correct its seems as if it could power 3 cities the size of Musehatten, the readings are stretchy at best and I cannot lock on to the power source. I detected no sign of the signal tracers i install on the twins either but given how useless my sensors are its possible the signal is being blocked as well. "
Build turned and said" looks like more than just the three us got a summons "
The femme pointed to a number or organics that had arrived.

"His name is Draconis, and I have no idea on why he does it, or how. My sister, the one who brought me here, discovered him on one of her trips around the muse realm. He was given to her as a gift."
She noticed the girl's attention divert towards the wall, and that was when she really took a good look at it.
"Hey, do you get the feeling something's watching you? I keep getting this feeling and trust me, the 'feeling' never lies."
It was then that the same feeling swept through Miyuki, causing her to shiver slightly.
"I do, I wonder what it is."
She glanced between the wall and the girl standing next to her when a realization dawned on her.
"My name is Miyuki by the way, what's yours?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize [/i][/center] The people appearing left and right around Alyssa did nothing to help her rising paranoia (after being jumped by a girl - a little girl, and she lost the fight, damn magic - she felt the need to be more highly conscious of her surroundings). It took both Michael and Zach's reassurances (even though Zach himself was antsy, the contrasting need of his bond to be near Tommy and the mountain lion's desire to be alone making him shiver and twine himself between Michael's legs, needing reassurance himself) to keep her from scaling the gate and tearing in and out as fast as she can.
A touch of guilt skittered over her when she glanced at Zach, the cat whose human has taken better control of himself and was then pacing along the gate, trying to figure out what's going on amongst the myriad of scents the other muses were giving off.
As she watched, the cat skidded to a halt suddenly, ears pricked, staring at something over his shoulder, then crouched and sprang at his other human, the elf-like blond. The series of emotions pouring from him ranged between excited playfulness and contented safety, and Alyssa had to tear herself away from his mind.
Next to her Michael had turned to the group who'd suddenly run up to him. He took their appearance in with a look, then smiled. "Alyssa spoke of it as an alien being," he answered. "It's not I who got the message but she - she said it's very strange, and her tools did nothing to help her find out more."
"They're called computers, Michael," Alyssa reminded him, moving closer to the group. "The creature wants us to tell him more about this realm... but I think it's best if we asked him what he wants first of all." With a glance at the man who's probably Thomas, she added, "Everything of mine came up destroyed, with no information. I think it's alive, not quite a computer. Maybe the master of technology itself!" Her eyes lit up at the idea - the things she could do if she knew more...
She turned to look at the others, eyes running dismissively over metal-shifters and humans. The thing might not just be after information... "Wonder what we're here for, really," she said aloud, and Michael nodded his agreement with a glance at her.
"I guess we'll find out." [/font][/right] Run, run, run away

Mirage couldn't remember how he got here, or why he got here. He mentally swept the mist in his hazy mind aside and stared up at the towering structure before him. A gate, his mind told him. He could feel the presence of others, but he ignored them - to him, they were insignificant. Of no importance.
He felt that someone was looking at him, and he finally pulled his eyes away from the gate to two boys who stood not far from them - one with eyes as red as blood, the other were almost dark as night. The dark-eyed boy was holding onto a device, and his hands seemed to be trembling slightly.
He began to move towards the pair. The albino frowned, his eyes were full of caution. "What d'you want?" he asked coldly.
His partner then collected himself. "Uh...so you got this too?" He turned the screen of the console in his hand to face Mirage. Mirage merely cocked his head, but did not answer.
The two boys glanced at each other, and Mirage could register some form of silent communication between them. Then the Chinese turned to him with a wide grin, "Name's Shao Feng. That fierce-looking one is Rei. Nice to meet you." He extended out a hand.
Mirage looked down at the hand blankly.
"Handshake?" The boy called Shao Feng probed. "...You never have one before?"
Mirage raised a hand towards Shao Feng's. Just when they were about to make skin contact, his skin peeled back and transformed into a silver blade. Shao Feng yelped in shock and staggered backwards. The white-haired one named Rei glowered at him, his red eyes seemed to be on fire.
Mirage brought the blade to his face, and saw his reflection properly on the shiny surface. Then it shrank back to his original hand.
"We are being watched," Mirage said simply and turned his attention back to the gate.

Pass it down from kid to kid
The chain will never end
Unless I decide to go to it
Will I see the end?
Andromeda led the way along the curve of the wall, eyes distant as she considered the summons she had received and the reaction her magic had generated. From all indications the giant fortress was made of the apparatus of the muggle world. Technomanology. Or something. Ted had told her, she just couldn't remember...
She glanced at her companion. His eyes were on the ground, thick soles of his shoes scuffing up dirt. She sighed, turning her gaze back ahead. He didn't look like much. Disheveled with slightly smeared make-up around his eyes and lingering traces of colour on his lips. But he seemed to know his way around the muggle world. She'd thought he'd be helpful. She scowled, she'd also felt sorry for him. It was a weakness her sisters often exploited.
She shook her thoughts off, looking up as they came into view of the others her wand had detected. Beyond them was the imposing form of a gate. Andromeda frowned, wondering how it could be opened. There were no noticeable handles... He attention was yanked away again as the enormous cat that had been pacing the ground unnoticed came bounding over, not bothering to check itself as it pounced on her companion. Tommy went down without a sound and Andromeda leapt back, wand flicking out into her hand in an instant.
But before she could utter the vicious hex that had sprung unbidden to her tongue Tommy held up a hand, eyes on her face with a direct sense of urgency that betrayed more emotion that almost anything else since she'd met him.
"Don't hurt him!" Momentarily perplexed she lowered her wand. Tommy nodded then let his head drop back to the ground, looking up into the eyes of the creature still pinning him to the ground. "Fish breath." He said, too low for the others to hear. Andromeda blinked for a moment then shook her head, turning to look up at the tall man standing nearby, someone she vaguely recognised.
"Is everyone mad here?" Oh, don't you find it strange?
Only thing we share is one last name
Did I beat you at your own game?
Typical of me to put us all to shame

------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm not always like this,
it's something I've become
A terrible weakness, in my nature, in my blood
Save me, oh save me,
save me from myself
before I hurt somebody else again [/center] Zach's tail swept through the air at the nickname (he feels it's kind of insulting, not having eaten any fish at all), then lowered his head to lick Tommy's face and rub a whiskered cheek affectionately to the blond's smooth one - not unlike a giant dog. Except that dogs didn't purr, and he did, loud and reminiscent of a bike's motor.
It was cut off when a metallic noise split the air, and the cat twisted, scrambling off Tommy and then pressing close to him again, squeaks of fear escaping, twisting and rubbing against the blond (there's so much contrast, he has to run but he's safer with Tommy, always safer, cared for-).
"Sorry," Alyssa said with a yelp, pulling out her phone. "Sorry, sorry, sorry, I was trying to see if I could- oh damn, it's dead now." Her hands dropped to her sides as she sighed, phone gripped loosely in her hand. "This sucks." Zach, still pressed to Tommy, let out a chuffing sound like a relieved laugh.
Michael shook his head, amusement radiating from his mind and looked over at the witch - Andromeda, if Zach could remember correctly. "I believe so, and since we're both in their company..." A smile flickered over his face, expression teasing.------------------------------------------------------------------------ male | 24 years | 6"3' | human | bound | shifter | vampire | Victor Norlander

Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you
And what it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)Tommy sat up as Zach scrambled off him, crouching at his side. Concerned he slide an arm around his neck, fingers tangling in the rough fur as Alyssa pulled out her phone. He couldn't hold back a glare, eyes flickering red for a moment before he forced his gaze away.
Zach's huffing cat laugh broke through to him and he pasted a smile on his face, watching Andromeda rather than the undead girl.
"I suppose you're going to use that as an indictment of our mental health as well." The witch was saying, affecting a haughty tone though her eyes were still bright with humour."I'll have you know I'm a healer. Maybe I'm just trying to fix them." The expression held for a moment longer then she thawed, laughing softly. "Though I doubt I'll have much luck." Well, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor

"A gift, huh?"
Marci murmured a few things, distantly watching the gate. She'd heard the girl's introduction and name, but it wasn't registering and probably wouldn't until her mind sorted everything else out. However, fortunately for Miyuki, her mind normally worked fast. She suddenly brightened and swirled around with a wide grin, her face beaming, and she giggled like a little school girl.
"Sorry, uh my mind wanders a lot and-"
She stopped herself and huffed.
"My name's Marci. Nice to meet you Miyuki!"
She held out her hand and anxiously waited for her new friend to do the same. When she did Marci furiously pumped her arm up and down before letting go and squeaking. She smiled brightly at the girl, her purple eyes glittering with child-like joy.
"Wanna be friends?"
Marci's gaze dropped down to the snake on her arm, Draconis, before letting her eyes jump back up to the young girl's face.
"You and Draconis?"

The Professor nodded at Alyssa's words, a smile beginning to play on his lips.
"I've encountered something like that before; metal, only living, and computers that go on working long after their operators have died, but it's not quite like either of them. It seems too alive, and too unique." He pulled out his computer, to try to bring up something, anything that would help. He could link it to the Universities' servers, try to find something...
"It's dead." His voice was near expressionless, shock had taken hold.
"Sweetheart? What's dead?" Marienna lay a hand on his arm, concerned, peering uncomprehending at the screen. It may as well have shown dancing penguins, for all she understood it. She had never seen a penguin...
"The computer. It will turn on, but look, white noise. Snow. I cannot load anything. Logos?" This last was to anyone listening, really, since the Professor wanted his computer back. Really, really wanted it back. And any help would be much appreciated, he thought.
Meanwhile, Eumelia was fit to burst. Not only was Michael... something, but she felt the vestiges of something, some possibility of something, from this Alyssa, too, or was she imagining it in her excitement? She was too scared, but then she had to find out.
"Which God is it? You're Holy, I can tell!" She pulled up her hood, trying to regain some sort of mystery after her outburst, but it was quite comforting, to find someone who felt religious, when everything else felt so devoid of Faith. Resolutely ignoring the Gate, she stared at Michael. She should have remembered that staring was rude, that people did not normally stare, but there was all the oppressive technology and social codes had always been the first thing to leave under pressure.

Shao Feng shrugged and chucked the PSP into Rei's empty hands, then walked towards the two girls nearest to him: one, an eccentric-looking girl in a black maid-like dress with some blond streaks among her brown hair, the other had a snake in her arms.
"Nice pet you've got there," he chipped in and peered at the small reptile closer. He generally liked animals, and was usually very good with them. He wondered if it would be the same for this little one.

"Sure, let's be friends."
No sooner had Miyuki responded to Marci, two new boys walked towards them.
"Nice pet you've got there."
The boy leaned towards her snake companion and she felt his tail constrict around her arm. She didn't register fear from him, just a slight misgiving. She made sure to give it some consideration before responding to the guy.
"Thanks. He's a corn snake."
Miyuki watched as her small friend started to change his stripes Red stripes to a bright pink. If snakes could be bashful, Draconis had found a way.

Marci noticed the change in his stripes melting to pink. She chuckled.
"Aww! I think he's shy!"
She leaned down and thrust her face right up to the snake, smiling happily.
"Are you demure Draconis?"
She shot back up and hummed a little tune before she turned to the boy that had just approached them, as if noticing him for the first time.
"Hi! I'm Marci!"
She held out her hand and noticed that her lime green nail polish was chipping. She'd have to take care of that later. But for now she simply worried about shaking the boy's hand. Just after they shook hands and he appeared to be about to say something, it suddenly dawned on her. Her finger shot up in the 'wait a moment' gesture and she shot off back to the spot she'd left in the grass. She ran full speed leaving the two behind to talk, or whatever else, while she was gone. Finally she found the spot and began to scour the ground for her missing items.

Suddenly a hidden panel on the seamless Gate appears, sliding away to reveal a glass screen. Attached to it is a long, seemingly unending line of cable. Like a snake, it slithers out and approaches the group. The screen bursts to life in a flash of light before Logos' unwavering red optic stares at the muses before him.
"Greetings, I am Logos. I apologize for the delay, but I did not want to leave any latecomers behind. I welcome you to Silicon City and hope that your temporary stay here will be comfortable. I do not wish any harm upon you, only friendship or peaceful diplomacy." The AI's robotic voice boomed from hidden speakers as he spoke his audience. "I apologize if my sudden appear has sown panic among yourselves and the native populace. If there are any questions you wish to ask before we proceed, now is the time."

Miyuki was startled by the sudden sound intrusion of the voice, but slowly became accustomed to it. Once he had finished speaking, she looked at the group and slowly raised her hand.
"I have a question Mr. Logos. You sent the call all over the muse realm did you not? If so, why did only so few of us respond or did you hand pick us to receive you since we all have such diverse knowledge of the realm?"
When she was finished, she noticed a few eyes on her since she was the first to ask, more than likely, the metallic beings thought her questions had obvious answers, but she did not see them.
