Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

So. . . if he was one hundred years ago, and I'm two hundred. . . if we beat the Earl in my lifetime, one hundred years for humans to recover in Japan.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

I'm not sure how, if things were that bad . . . I don't think we knew how to make people, back then. But . . . it seems that way, for sure.

Surprise?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . . You mean non-traditionally make people?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh . . . maybe Allen should forget that part.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

"Maybe forget that part". . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

I remember a lab, in a research facility. We were looking for . . .

[Shakes her head.]

. . .something important. But . . . one of the people I was with, though . . . she said it was like the place she was created.

. . . even after Allen's war, there are still secrets, in our world.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

. . .

Just. . . making people? Out of nothing? But -- how?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Not from nothing. There still has to be a chromosomes, a DNA sequence . . . and they need time to grow up, like anyone else.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Still - still has to be what?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh . . . that's right. It was a long time ago.

Allen knows what cells are?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Prison cells?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Not . . . quite.

Maybe we should start at where babies come from.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

I know that much!

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Then it's like that. Except there's not really any parents. I think.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Well... wait. What is a cell?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

A tiny tiny tiny piece of your body. Or of a plant, or . . . a lizard, or a beebat, or a bearbee . . .

Mmm . . . anything living.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

--Oh. Wait, I remember Master talking about that. . . I didn't get it a the time, but. . . that's definitely real?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Mm! It really is.

Babies . . . they're just one cell, when everything begins.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

[mind blown]

That's so hard to imagine. . . that we're made up of the same stuff lizards are. . . but if the future says that's how it is, and Master says it, then. . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

So - so, to make people without parents, you just use the same cells that parents would put together?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

I don't remember it really well. But parts of your DNA . . . that's kind of the blueprint, that tells cells what kind of cells they should be, and where they should go . . . parts come from your mother, and parts from your father.

But in the right kind of lab, parts can be changed to ones that haven't come from anyone at all.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

[rubs the back of his neck]

That's... strange, but. . . if it helps humans. . .

But what about parents?. . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh . . . it's not everyone. And I think . . . it was a secret, for the ones who were.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Huh.

[--I guess now would be a good time for Fang to wake up]

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[. . . funny you should think that . . .]
