Round Two: Koudo vs. Priere

Perura saw no problem with joining this gang since she was gaining four friends without doing much of anything. She wasn't the type to talk to people, or refuse to do something someone asked her, though she could be on the mean side when needed. She nodded her head to Priere, then to Koudo, this meaning that she saw nothing wrong with joining them. she put her pale white hand out to Priere for a handshake, to seal the deal. The problem about a base didn't have anything to do with her, since she didn't know where this base was anyway.

Priere sneered at Koudo before poking out her lip and narrowing her eyes just a bit.

"What do you mean 'why does it have to be my base?' Where the hell else would we go, hm? Besides, I can make an extension to your base made of sheer ice, as long as YOU can make me something that will keep my ice up without me having to use my magic. Besides, you live in the lab, don't you? If that place is our living space and base of operations, things will go a lot smoother, riiight?"

Again, Koudo didn't have a say either way, for Priere was gonna do it no matter what.

"... I'm assuming that Perura enjoys the cold and could live with me inside the icy extension, anyway."

That was when Priere noticed Perura extending her hand for a handshake. Probably to show that they were cool and everything. Priere's sneer became a little grin as she extended her hand and shook it... Then decided to abuse Perura's silence to help make her point.

"See, Koudo? Perura likes the idea. She thinks it would be best. Heh heh. I think you've been overruled~."

Koudo started to laugh, hard. Priere seemed to forget that there were five members to the team and having only one other person on her side wouldn't make it so that the base would be used. He whistled, calling out to Maina and Naina, who stood from where they were and walked down to meet the gang. They both had heard everything that was going on, they just weren't sure if they had a say in any of the decisions.

" So, two to three. I win. "

Koudo stated proudly, but was interrupted quickly with Naina moving to the new girl and starting to shake her hand, feeling the coldness from just being in the same presence as her. Naina already knew about Priere, so there was no need to shake her hand as well. It looked like Koudo was down one more vote, butt hen Maina moved to Priere's side as well.

" You too? "

Maina: " What... she kinda makes a good argument. Without your base as a base of operations then where the hell would we meet to determine what we want to do? Sorry, you're on your own with this one. "

Koudo sighed, turning around, to face the opposite direction.

" Fine... my base it is. "

Perura didn't care either way. She liked to cold, but if Koudo didn't want his base to be used then it couldn't be helped. If Priere wanteed too, Perura saw nothing wrong with ransacking someone else's base and taking it over, Perura was one for brute force, though she didn't look it. It looked like she moved her lips to speak, but Priere had already spoken for her... odd, and on top of that Koudo's own weapons had turned against him and joined Priere's side. Perura noticed that most arguments would be one sided, since it was a team full of girls and only one boy. Sorry Koudo, but he should be prepared to lose each time.

After all of that, Priere started to laugh, hard. She outstretched her hands, referring to everyone on this side of her as a whole as she said, "Ha! This is four to one! Looks like everyone's on my side, Koudo! We're using your base~!"

Priere continued to laugh, now placing both her hands on her hips, haughty laughter bellowing throughout the graveyard.

"Ooooh... Yeah. That's good. Okay, well, I guess we should get this show on the road. Let me go start to make this ice place... You think you can make something to sustain my ice without my magic?"

Priere also noticed that there were... 5 members. She kind of wanted 6 for some reason. No more, no less. She'd probably have to go recruiting later.

" I SUPPOSE it's possible, I AM a genius.... a giant refrigerator should work just fine. "

Koudo mumbled the last part to himself before starting to get serious about what he could use to keep her ice sustained without her using her magic to keep it up. This was actually going to be a challenge for him, but he was going to take it head on... he was a genius.

Perura stood them right there. She could do it, her wavelength could keep the ice in place without the use of Priere's magic, she was sure of it.

" ...My Wavelength.... "

Having the Cold wavelength, she could freeze things in place, and since they needed someone that could keep the ice frozen in place, her wavelength would definitely aid them in this. Look at that, she was helping already.

Priere cocked her head to the side, confused about this... 'wavelength' that she was talking about.

"Eh? Wavelength?"


Time to take a dip into Priere's mind...


Signis was standing there beside Priere, naturally ready to inform her about the wavelength. "Priere. You know nothing of the village you live in, do you? She refers to her own 'Soul Wavelength' which is the power from one's own soul. Hers would be similar to yours, but naturally since you cannot control yours or use yours at all at this point, hers is much stronger... Though... If we were to create this ice place, I do not know how... she would sustain it all."

Priere: Perhaps an amplification device? If it's a wavelength, it can be amplified, right~?

Signis: Haha, precisely. Wow, Priere, you truly are getting smarter. Though, I must say... What happens when she leaves the icy abode? Will it collapse?

Priere: Hell if I know... But. I guess I should get to know about this damn 'wavelength' or something. Seems like something I'd need to know about to fight against it in the future...

Signis: Then we should go to Shibusen.

Priere: Eh, not right now, but it's on the 'to-do' list. The most important thing is this icy abode..

Signis: Well, share with them your idea.

Priere: Most definitely~!


Now exiting Priere's mind.


Though Priere seemed to space out for only a second, it looked as if she just randomly got an idea.

"Hey, you two, that 'wavelength' thing can be amplified, right? So Koudo you should make not only an amplifier... But also something that can generate something similar to her wavelength to keep it sustained when she's not in, right?"

It was interesting that Perura mentioned her wavelength, it made him remember that he needed to find out what his wavelength actually did. All he knew was that it was Dominant or something along those lines, and what about the girls with their Sisterly Love soul. He was a little behind the curve, but whatever, he was a genius. When Priere mentioned an amplifier and something to sustain the place when Perura wasn't around, Koudo smirked.

" You talk as if I hadn't realized that already, believe it or not.. I might need my mentor's guidance on this one. Yeah.... I got it covered, I can already see the ending. "

Koudo said, blocking out all things now, except for thoughts about the machine he was going to produce for the ice abode of Priere's.

With everything set, Perura went back to being semi-silent. She looked from the other two girl weapons, to Priere, then to Koudo before looking back to Priere.

" Name.... "

She reminded her quickly before falling silent again.

Priere turned back to Perura, a little confused.

"Eh? Name? The hell are you-- OH. Hahaha. Sorry. The name's Priere!"

Speaking of a name, Priere didn't have one for this gang of theirs... She was gonna need a name if she were to have this gang truly up and running correctly. A name and a final member, then it would be great.

"So, uh, on another note, since it seems Koudo has our living issue covered... What about a name for this gang? Naturally, I'd think of one myself, but... Heh.. Names are hard~!"

Koudo was off to the side, seemingly doing absolutely nothing but standing there rambling to himself. He was actually coming up with what the machine would look like and how it would work, Maina and Naina had seen him like this before.

Maina: " I suggest we not disturb him, my might lose his train of thought. Now, naming the gang right? Hmm.... Of and the name's Maina and this is my sister Naina. "

Maina was going to take the dominate role in team Koudo now, doing most of the speaking while Naina said nothing and Koudo was over there rambling to himself.

" Well, what are we trying to accomplish exactly? I'm not one to go around and doing random ass shit without a reason, no matter how fun it might be. "

Priere... odd, both their names started with a P and they both liked the cold, Perura found this a funny coincidence and if she ever actually laughed then she would be giggling right now. But, instead , she cleared her throat quickly and passed that off as a laugh as Priere and the other two girls were starting to discuss a name for their group, this was something else that Perura found odd, she didn't see why they NEEDED a name right now when they hadn't actually DONE anything to get them noticed by others. She stayed quiet though, as usual, and awaited the results of the discussion.

Priere wasn't exactly TRULY sure about what they would do... But she was very sure about what SHE wanted to do.

"We'd be... Hahaha. Rebelling. And showing how rebellious we are, ya know? I mean, honestly, I may be part of this... whaddayacallit... 'Dusk' Village, but I'm not really too fond of serving a higher power. So, I'd rather rebel. Have my own little gang. Get shit done my way and get it done RIGHT! I mean hell, I've been training myself well already, right?"

Priere sighed, flipping her hair.

"... Thouuugh... Input and addition to the 'dream' would be nice, if you've got any... Ya know? I kinda wanna see everyone's view on what they wanna do in the gang, ya know?"

" Well, I know that Koudo wants to be able to defeat each and every ninja out there that uses machines as their main means of attack.Aeon, Cleff, Cross, and the lot.... though I'm not sure how successful he'll be if he continues to lose to you. As for me and Naina, we just wanna have fun is all, and being in a gang can bring that fun. Becoming Death Scythes in the process would be pretty good too. "

Maina explained and Naina seconded with a quick and well placed nod before looking back at Koudo, who had started to pace now, really getting into the train of thought that he was having. He had a basic idea for the amplification machine, but he wasn't quite sure how it would work. That was the problem that he was having, since he wasn't actually sure how wavelength worked entirely. he'd have to do more research, talk to people that only used wavelength for everything they did, once he did that then the machine would be a simple construction project.

" What about you Perura, what do you want from this? "

Maina asked, turning her attention to Perura.

That was a good question, what did Perura want from this? Perura wasn't actually sure what she wanted from this, what she wanted from life in general. All she knew was that she wanted friends that would accept her and this people, these girls and that guy, seemed like they would be able to do that even if she never spoke a word to them. She was cold, she liked the cold, and on top of that she could be mean beyond all compare, but they didn't care about that. Perura was moved, this was what she wanted, a group of friends. She said nothing, but her eyes, no matter how emotionless they looked, would tell it all. She was content.

Priere smiled, thinking that these group of people being recruited would be rather... Good for her, in general. They were all loners together, you could say, in that sort of oxymoron way. Maina and Naina were fun-lovers, which Priere was also, and Perura was mean and liked the cold, which Priere also enjoyed... plus, she had a P that started her name and it was pretty damn cool to her~. And Koudo was Priere's first rival, first ally, first guy, first recruit, first battle... Hell, a lot of stuff. He was... Her first friend? As much as she hated to think like that, she knew that the two of them were... friends. She looked over to Perura and smiled, seeing everything within her eyes, somehow.

"Yeah, well, we'll be a great little group. We all seem to work well together, ya know? And anyone who gets in our way will suffer!"

Priere snickered slightly.

"... But seriously, we need a name. And a final member."

Maina could see the look in Perura's emotionless eyes, sure she was an emotionless... machine it seemed, but she did have feelings and showed them through her emotionless eyes somehow. Maina was starting to like the way this group was turning out, but she really hoped that the new member would be a girl, and not another weapon. There were three of those already.

" Damn, who knew coming up with a name was so hard? "

Naina: " Don't hurt yourself thinking... "

Naina said quietly with a hum of pure friendliness in her voice before she fell silent once more. She was very friendly, but wasn't like Perura who didn't talk out a choice. Naina didn't talk because she was terribly shy and never actually opened up until she knew someone for a while. She would be silent until she got to know Priere and Perura a little more.

" We got machines, cold, silence, fun.... what kinda name can we make out of that? "

Maina asked herself, noting what seemed to be everything that the members of the gang so far liked. Koudo and his machines, Priere with her ice, Perura with her silence, Maina and Naina with their fun. What the fuck kinda name would they have that could incorporate all of that.

Cold, Silence, Fun, and Machine. The CSFM, the MFCS, the FCMS... Perura was only thinking initials and not actual names. She wanted something practically, something that noted what everyone wanted and liked, what everyone hoped to accomplish within the group. She didn't actually like the idea of coming up with the name right now since they didn't have their last member yet. That last member could be the deciding factor to the name, and important decisions within the group in general. But Perura stayed silent, she wasn't the leader, the final word came from the leader.

Priere went into deep thought... She'd ask Signis or Blue, as both of them were infinitely smarter than Priere, she knew this, but... She wanted to do this on her own, as she was doing a lot of her stuff recently.

"Hm... Wild Ice Machines? Silent Frost? Cold Steel? The Frozen Wire? Quiet Machines? Frozen Night? Chill Club? White Ice? Black Ice? Gray Ice? Frozen Lips? Silent Night? Dead Snow? Black Steel Winter? Haa... I dunno. I can't think of anymore..."

So hard...

"Errr... What do you all think? I think some of those sound pretty lame, actually..."

Priere sighed, finally coming to a conclusion.

"... I think we should wait for this last member. In fact, we should go LOOK for a last member..."

" Black Steel Winter??? Yeah, lets find that last member and force them to name the group. That's gonna be their fucking job. "

Maina said folding her arms and nodding before she thought about how they were going to go around and recruit a new member. Would they go around and fight a whole bunch of random ass people and then find out which one they disliked the least? Or were they going to strategy what exactly they needed for the group and find someone that fight the bill, that they disliked the least of course. They had three trackers as of now... probably four if Perura had learned Soul Perception and Priere herself could track people by her ice, Maina and Naina had realized that first hand when she was fighting Koudo and had told him. Koudo was an excellent tracker of chakra, even though he never actually paid attention to that trait of his. His mother was one of the best trackers around, he had told Maina and Naina so. She had a very famous name... Karin or something like that.

" What do we need the new member to do... exactly? Koudo can make all our machines and weapons, you'll have the position to deal out orders. Perura will be silent operations, dealing with people swiftly and quietly. I can be the muscle if needed, and Naina can be intel since everyone seems to trust her cute face. What will the last person's job be? "

Maina asked, using hand gestures and pointing to emphasize her point.

Silent Operations... Silent Ops... Perura wouldn't actually refuse this position since she was the most quiet person of the group and could move swiftly. The only problem was that her weapon form wasn't actually quiet... a Gatling Gun is loud as fuck! But, her lasers were silent and could wipe something out pretty quickly if she focused on it long enough. It also allowed her to home in on her targets, that was the purpose of her laser pointer. Perura remained silent, but nodded as to agree with Maina's point. Look at them deliberating like a real gang, wasn't it grand?

We'll just put a silencer on Perura. Haha.

But yeah, Priere wans't sure about what she wanted the last person to be... I mean, if need be, Priere, herself could be Silent Ops if she let Blue have control over the body, as Blue was the best demonic assassin there was... And Signis was definitely the most intelligent, so much so that she exhibited some signs of psychic ability. But the last person...? What could they do...?

"Hm... I wouldn't know what to tell ya. What do you think we need?"

So it came down to Maina's decision on the matter, Naina shook her head and looked off to the aside, already knowing what her sister was about to say and not approving of it at all. Maina smirked and closed her eyes before pointing to Priere.

" Battle Royale! Time to scout out potential applicants, watch battles that they do, fight them, and if we dislike them enough to accept them then they're in! You're our best fighter as of now, so get out there and whoop some ass. Koudo will always be there behind you, and Perura will watch from the rear. Even if they refuse, we'll tie them up, beat them up as a gang and force them into the group... whether they like it or not. "

Perura looked from the decisive Maina, to Priere, then to Koudo and shrugged. if that was what they had to do then so be it. Perura was itching to have a good fight anyway, but she was more so itching to become a death scythe... or get closer to becoming one that was. The sooner she did that, the stronger she would be and the better asset she would be to the team. Which reminded her that she needed to go to Shibusen and find out about Soul Perception soon, and if she could learn it as well as the other techniques that would make her more powerful as an autonomous weapon.
