Target Practice (Open!)

Zouichi had heard about the Sensoriums from other people aboard the ship, and though he'd been a little apprehensive at first, had decided to pay them a visit. Or rather, he'd decided to pay Earth a visit.

After all, it was hard to go for a real ride on a disturbingly squishy ship.

If there had been any police left, he would have been pulled over for speeding and quite possibly reckless endangerment. But there weren't. What there were was vast expanses of jet-black concrete laid empty for miles ahead of him, honeycombing through levels of the massive megacity at insane angles.

So he punched it, hard. The motorcycle surged forward toward the city, its display ticking steadily past a series of numbers: 100, 200, 300...

Now he was blazing across the city connector bridge, rising quickly with the road as it extended upwards on struts held high above the level of the water that surrounded the old metropolis. Fuyu chirped an alert to him, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the machine rising up seemingly from beneath the raised concrete, its thrusters a bright blue blaze in the reddening light. Zouichi slowed; it kept perfect pace.

It was sleek, newly manufactured. The model number 4-D was stamped neatly across one gleaming wing. As he watched, the shutters beneath both wings snapped open, revealing two long, wicked metal barrels.

Before him, the gates of the city yawned open. From here, he could see the beginning activity of the drones inside, shambling forward mindlessly in the direction of sound and perceived movement, searching for something.

Something they could really sink their teeth into.

"Hah, are you kidding?"

Reaching back with both hands, Jr. unholstered a pair of pistols. With a quick spin of them on both of his fingers, he spun around, positioning himself and taking some shots at the closer zombies.

Is Zouichi was paying enough attention, he might also note that Jr. seemed to ... be enjoying it quite a bit. Though he didn't say it outloud since this was apparently the reality of Zouichi's world, to Jr. this was just like being in a movie. And mimicking action movies was part of how he learned to handle his guns so well even with the flashy movements.

But he paused at one point, looking back at him curiously. "Synthetic..." he muttered. Did that mean he was just like a Realian? "I'm Gaignun Jr." he replied, louder. "And likewise!"

"We don't call them that, but yeah," he called back, moving around to get some better shots in on the group.

"You guys are just as human as anyone else," he noted as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. One of his most important people was a Realian, after all. Not to mention, it wasn't fair that humans thought anything unlike them weren't considered as such. Especially in his case...

"I taught myself a long time ago!"

"Well, you've got your own will, right? Isn't that you're thinking this place up means?"

"People act too weird sometimes, about others that aren't the same as them." Ironic, too, he thought. Since in most cases beings like that came into existence in the first place because of humans.

"Not personal," he answered quickly-- and then somewhat regretted lying. But it was almost reflexive to him to do so, given his public image with Gaignun, and he'd just gotten used to it. "Sort of," he added, "you can say I know a lot of people who feel that way." That much was true.

[] Sure! []

"Woah... Looks like a little more of a challenge than these zombies," he said with a smirk.

Jr. decided to take the right when he saw Zouichi move left - better to confuse the thing, since after that attempted attack, he quickly learned that this would definitely be a step up from the zombies. Sprinting rather quickly for a boy his size, he swerved between the random zombie that would lunged for him, quickly glancing both ahead of him and over his shoulder to see what the inspector was going to do next.
