    Poppin' Arms ~ Holding Cells

    "Sweet!" Kora chirped, vanishing and reappearing a few feet away, then again right next to Dave. "I've been starving since you mentioned stttttttttttttttttt--" he cleared his throat, pounding his chest, "--blueberry... pie. Yeah. Pie." ...Oh, it's over? Yeah, now we're gettin' food! Finally...

    Kora sighed, shaking his head. "...Sorry, I didn't mean to just... sorry." He put on a smile and he scratched his head. "This was supposed to be my vacation, not baggage drop-off at an airport." He hopped up to his feet, stretching out his arms and yawning. "...I still think you're...

    "Oh, no, he didn't make the others like me. And... they wouldn't want me to talk about where or how they came to be either," Kora replied shaking his head. "Besides, even among the people "like me" I'm still wildly different." At the "defense" of his father that Dave came up with, Kora's face...

    Kora sighed, relieved. "Oh thank gods, his was Lum Berry. Hopefully that means I worry about another scientist is grey to dark morality splicing DNA together to make more things like me." "Sorry about dropping that on you, just had to make sure," he chuckled, grinning. "...I already discovered...

    Kora sat back, crossing his arms in thought. "...I dunno, obviously you look like a pretty great guy, but... You're a geneticist with a kid, I had a geneticist dad. You are human, but..." His brows furrowed, and he grumbled as he mumbled to himself. I seriously do not think he is another...

    Kora shook is head, then remembered he was on the floor and wagged a claw instead. "The lab was a wreck, and the latest things I could find was from then, and even those could've been better kept. There might've been things from later on, or maybe he wrote something saying why he stopped, but...

    Kora pointed at his still-transformed, crowned head. "This feels like reason enough reevaluate. Back home, I had to be pushed pretty damn far for this to happen. But, whenever I have Blacklight, I can just do it freely." "And, also, me finding some of his work in some broken down lab might've...

    "Breaker, huh? Sounds like a fun gal," Kora chuckled. He then sighed, rubbing his arm. "...I can't, say he was shit from experience. Growing up, he and I had so much fun training and camping... and when he died... I felt nothing but pain for an entire decade, up until I got recruited by Diyem...

    Kora shrugged. "That's how my dad made it work, he didn't just alter his genes, he altered his aura messed, with divine whatevers... Even if I know it fucked me over, I never bothered giving a shit long enough to learn it exactly." Kora's gaze drifted to the side, and he gripped his elbows, an...

    "Funny you mention geneticists, and also the kid in my analogy," Kora chuckled, then sighed... then grimaced. "Hmmm... I can't think of a cheeky way of saying it, but it's not like that matters. My father was a scientist, and his body was his guinea pig." Shadows began to rise off his body...

    "How can do I explain it..." Kora hummed, tapping his chin. "So like, imagine telling a kid that they can make a bowl of ice cream any way they wanna. Then, give them too many things, and remind them that they can use everything they want. The kid'll throw every fucking thing into the bowl and...

    Kora snickered. "He gave us a choice, I should say. Obviously, I decided to remember all this. Yeah, it was rough, but if I forgot everything then I'd be the same dumb, dangerous kid I was when Diyem hacked me up." "Oh, and my Mom's a Zoroark, but she used to be human. Apparently... just like...

    "Oh? You guys don't get to remember all this when you leave?" Kora asked, tilting his head. "I mean, that might be for the best. There's a lot of stuff I wish I could forget, and it kinda looks like the same things happened but worse here." He sighed, falling on his back. "And I know you aren't...

    Oh god, did he see the face? I will refuse to acknowledge the face existed. Therefore, shut the fuck up. Do you think he's gonna judge us for it? M-Maybe he's into it? I believe I said, and I quote, "Shut the fuck up." "Oh, I know you aren't gonna be here for him forever, but you'll stick...

    For how sad Kora might have been... the mention of stew brought a blissful look to his face. "Brain... stew..." he muttered, in a way that he hoped made it look like he was thinking about how tragic that might have been instead of how delicious it sounded. "I don't think anyone deserves in...

    As Kora listened to every word Dave spoke, picturing it all in his head, he held his paws over his chest, silent. He couldn't help remembering his Soda... and thinking about everything he must have been through, everything he's going through... Everything for Soda just got worse and worse...

    "Good, good," Kora muttered. He took in a deep breath, then sighed, somber. "I... Man... I can't tell if this feel embarrassing or not, but..." Kora turned back to Dave and sat on the ground. It was probably the only way for the two to be eye level, and if Dave looked back into Kora's eyes...

    Kora waited outside the building, taking in that fresh, crisp air. He watched some leaves twirling around in the wind, absentmindedly moving his claws in the same pattern. We do not need to keep worrying. Soda will be fine, he can handle himself. I know, it's just... pah, I dunno... We can't...

    "Hey, you aren't that old I think!" Kora chuckled lightly, keeping a brighter expression for a fair bit longer. "And staying and helping out on Cibus... That'll be a good start," he nodded, smiling. I... don't think... Is he alright? He will be, I promise. You don't mean that... The fox's...

    Call me crazy, but I think we were getting through to him! Alright, crazy, but I think you got a point. A smile grew along Kora's snout, but then he tilted his head, thoughtful. "Nothin' excessive, I hope? You don't exactly look like you're gonna be at a hundred percent for a while, and I...
