Avice awoke from slumber about as cold as can be her breath visible as it escapes into the warm air of her room. This cold feeling was settling in her body as she would attempt to reach Leon in the Sudeki dead lands by following this bond that their eyes share. It chilled her very Qi and changed her very chemistry. As she bound her self tighter in blankets to find the comfort in them she wondered why she was sacrificing herself to accomplish this task. There has to be a better way.
She was in the right place to do it. With the wielders of these eyes and the makers of their powers, she could ask any of them for help. All she knew was this wasn't the right way and she needed to find another or better possibility. Leon mentioned something to her about unlocking them a time or two, maybe she was ready to take a step towards getting that done.
She bundled up a bit thickly for the weather and would head to find Kentler. Drake was off with his own tasks she could get to work on her own as well. She might just ask Leon but she worried this might need a bit more hands-on help. Unsure of exactly the route she'd need to take she would keep an open mind. She placed a hand on the warm canister and allowed it to reveal her almost fully formed child within its contents. She was getting a strange opportunity to see what happens on the inside. Though she'd miss out on the chance to feel those little kicks and tumbles. Out of context, this was an easy way for someone to call her a lunatic, keeping a baby in a Jar. Anyone looking upon this would first hand no doubt achieve the wrong idea. So she kept it to herself as best as she could.
With that, she took a deep breath and would set on her mission... looking for someone with a far cry more than an ounce of knowledge to aid her.

She would easily be able to call up Leon. But not only that she could see Kentler too. Who was using Avice's Seikatsugan's connection to Leon to speak with him. It was more like she was barging in on a conversation than anything else, as the brothers stop and turn to 'Look' at Avice.

Coincidence? "Hm... should I leave or am I assuming you'd like to wait another hundred years before knowing what I am about to ask?" because for her or Kentler it would be like twenty minutes. She hardly cared about what he might be doing in this space with Leon. Though knowing he can is a new development.

Leon would put his hands on his hips and shake his head.
"I do like questions."
Kentler would nod at Avice as well, though he had no words in particular.

As she assumed so. "As I am trying to get closer to this other side with these eyes I am reaching a stand still... I think it is the eyes themselves. I am not a Sudeki and I barely understand the logic behind them even so I would like to open them up. We have spoken about unlocking them... I think I am ready to try my next steps towards that, can we agree and can I get some help in accomplishing this?"

Leon would shrug.
"Depends on what you want to do. I guess, I could just explain what my Seikatsugan can do."
Kentler would nod.
"You too, you should tell her what yours can do. It might help."
Kentler's eye brow twitches.
"What?" Kentler says almost monotone.
"Yeah, maybe knowing the differences can help her better understand things."
Kentler sighs.
"You are too nonchalant with our secrets. This is like that Chris Gunn child you implanted with a Seikatsugan and you expect nothing bad to come of this."
Leon would just grin and nod.
"Anyways, ignore glummy and broody, he doesn't sleep. My eyes are capable of particular sight. Not just if someone is stronger or weaker, but also all of their potential power. Abilities they use and stuff they don't even know they have. They allow you to summon a blade made of the person's Qi, and inflict pain simply by making eye contact. However in it's most powerful, it can obliterate incoming Qi attacks, possibly doing damage to the attacker. Though if the attack is strong enough to go past my eyes, you at least take out most of it."

She narrowed her eyes at Leon. "Yeah, that is nice... So they know what they can do I just need to figure out how to wield them with my own hands. Aye? Would I have to do this thing Drake is in the middle of or something else?" Actually, she was quite impressed with that kind of set abilities. They rivaled her own Qi sight which gets useless if the person before her is stronger than she.
"What happened to Chris Gunn?" It begged to be asked about.

Leon shrugged.
"Chris is my personal bodyguard on your end. Alive and well last I checked."
Kentler would clear his throat.
"Chris was a Normie child from 63 Leon picked up during the war. Leon inspired the lad to join his army and when he proved to be strong and loyal, Leon stole into the Sudeki Vault and retrieved a single eye. Implanting it in the boy without our fathers permission. This made the boy a target from his own territory, as well as Sudeki Eye Guardians. However his combat skills mixed with his quick mastery over his stolen eye made him a difficult target. So after an agreement between Leon and myself, Chris is left alone."
Leon nodded.
"You could of left out the part about the vault."
Kentler shook his head.
"You are the one who likes to share secrets."
Leon would slouch with an exhale.
"Well since you feel like sharing, why don't you at least give her some hands on training? Oh!"
Leon turns to look at Avice very seriously.
"Do. Not. Look. Him. In. The. EYES."
Kentler makes a grunting noise.

"Well, I expected that you stuck the eyes in and his brain exploded... good to know that hasn't happened..." she took a deep breath. "... Yet." She wouldn't rule out the chance just yet.
She did as she was told... not knowing why but instead focused on looking at Leon. "Well as long as secrets are all over the place. You need to tell Rai about Drake for sure." She pointed a firm finger at the Dragon amongst them. "We just had a fucking trip into some fucked up place called D. Art... Dra at? I actually can't believe you stuck me to partner with the fucker that had no qualms doing what he did under someone I actually trusted with helping save me and my unborn child from the Brainwashing you got me into..." She was steering off topic and with as deep of a breath as she could do. "By all logic, I shouldn't be helping you. By all logic, I should wash my hands of this and be finished. But number one; My boy is alive because of the direction you gave me. Number two; I made a promise and despite the new information I've learned, I keep my promises. Now that I've got that off my chest... Yes, I would like a bit of training and I would like a bit of guidance instead of blindly shooting to achieve what we need... please."

Leon listened to her let off her steam and waited patiently for her to be done before speaking.
"Barker has done some horribly fucked up stuff in the past. Experimented on me, cloned me, used me as a battery to run his facilities. Imprisoned me and tortured me. However, that was before he was killed by Strike. After he died and was brought back, he flipped fully. Joined our side and since has been a decent ally. When I get out, I will trust him to remove this brainwashing from me as well."
Kentler would clear his throat.
"Well then, we should drop this call here. Leon you heard the lady, tell Rai about his son. As for you, Miss Locke. I will find you in the training quarter in about ten minutes."
With that Kentler would vanish from the conversation, his form fading like a cloud of smoke.

"Our side?" She started. Thinking about the one strapped in the chair. What those men did then, and what they are willing to do. Some may have changed but not everyone does. "While I understand the world is not black and white, that phrase has so much more meaning now that I see in full color... Riddle me the "Our Side" point you are making. What is our side, what does that mean to you, and what makes you think I am on that same side?"

Leon would fold his arms and stare, closing his eyes as he seemed to regain himself momentarily.
"Our side is freedom. The freedom of choice, of action. To claim your own life and destiny and make of it whatever you want. Make the right choices, make the wrong choices, as long as we can make those choices. Structure is important, but the options of self. Complete control over yourself. That is 'Our Side', miss Locke."
Leon would open his eyes with a half grin.
"I'm fairly sure, you are on our side."

She hushed at his words. Honestly, she was certainly one to claim she only ever did whatever the fuck she wanted. If that meant it was being a hero or being a survivor she was indeed one to follow her own ambitions. Suppose something became clear to her... Freedom makes sense to different people. She had just the same right to make choices that she felt were the best option just the same as anyone else... even if she didn't agree with them.
She looked away pondering heavily on this... "By the time I get you out... I'll have made up my mind on if you are right about me. Until then..." She didn't finish the sentence but she gave him a simple nod confirming she understood. A simple nod that meant she would proceed as promised without much more to argue about. She would then go and meet with Kentler before she was late if Leon had not else to say.

Leon would grin at her before she disconnected the call, but had nothing else to add. She would find Kentler arriving with another Sudeki while Kentler read over his book. They would move to meet up with Avice. "This is Don, he is here to help you with your abilities." Don would smile and nod. "My ability allows me to refine any and all actions you take, be it physical, Qi, or mental. Making you automatically better in every way just by my being here." Kentler would nod. "So to begin, you need to make a choice. The Seikatsugan is rather sensitive and needs time between learning new abilities without straining them. While you don't run the risk of permanent eye damage as someone who was implanted with them, it would still be wise to take things slowly. So which ability do you wish to unlock? He described them to you." |

She eyed the red headed Don and nodded, her own firm gaze hardly changing however she would speak with a slight softness that she hoped would give him the right politeness he should be granted for helping her with this.
"It is good to meet you..."
As Kentler spoke she would listen with great intent and bringing up the question she realized her options.
"Knowing mine enemy's potential, Summoning a Qi Blade, a painful stare, or sending harm back to mine enemy..." she made a thought as to what would help her the most out of these options. To achieve a wider path to the Sudeki afterlife she certainly wanted to make progress and suppose any amount would be enough and it might not matter anyway. She began to believe the latter and would make up her mind...
"Let us try the first one...seeing others abilities; hidden or known. It sounds like a good start and foundation."
