[ Hello. Time to use the holodeck. Technology whirls... Scien's surroundings transition seamlessly when the platform shifts, warps, and takes on a grand room painted in warm colors from beige to almost gold. There are no corners, rounded by design with a repeating support arching protruded and lining the the walls. There is a light from an opening above that shines softly at the center, but the focus of the room is not there.
Beyond, to the other side, is a magnificent gold piano. Two children are found sitting on the stool, playing a duet. ]
[what is happening. scien blinks a few times, finding himself curious despite himself. he looks around at his surroundings, tries to find the ways in which technology and dream seem to blend. this isn't his area of expertise, but it is enough to earn his interest.
when he looks toward the piano, he doesn't interrupt the duet. what do the two children look like?]
[ I meant supporting arches, but yeah. It is... A round room......
The two children from behind have matching asymmetrical bobs with visible undercut closer to the napes of their neck. The difference is that they're mirrored in their asymmetry, then one twin has platinum blond hair and the other is more yellow-y blond. They also wear matching outfits, something similar to hospital gowns but as an actual outfit with purposeful closures and the like. ]
[ The twins stop playing, then both turn around to look at Scien. The one with more vibrant hair has a surprised expression, likewise the muted one, but the latter's draw out to eyebrows furrowing. Overprotective, this twin gets off the stool and stands in between the other and Scien.
The boy is the height of a toddler no more than the human age of eight, but his appearance changes to that of an adult... The leer stays the same, hostile and vigilant. ]
Why are you here?
[ It really just looks like Vash with lighter colored hair and the beauty mark on the other side. Instead of wearing Callisto's usual suit, Knives is wearing his murder snuggie. The serrated extensions coil and start snaking around, sharp and ready. ]
[ help scien.......... why didn't you roll high to dodge....
Unfortunately, Knives is inclined to violence, so the extension runs through a couple of bladed links despite having already pierced through. The bladed chain painfully brings Scien closer, then lifts him up like a fishing lure. Scien isn't dead... Dying, though. It's excruciating to hang off of a heavily serrated wire, I guess.
Knives ponders, but it's difficult to tell if he's pondering on how he'd like to lacerate Scien and how much he'd like to leave behind or about the question asked earlier. ]
I'm Vash's older brother.
[ Scien can disconnect from the holodeck at anytime. ]
[he can. but, quite frankly, it's not in his nature to. his pain tolerance is insanely high, even when he's lifted and hanging off of this annoying tendril. he'll try to grip it with his hand to wrench it out of him, but he can last a couple more tags before he wholeass passes out.
even in the dream, he coughs up blood and doesn't bother to turn his face away from knives. gross.]
[ And the boy that was still on the stool changes to Vash, but without his prosthetic. Instead, he has his arm back... Sometimes, you dream of your family safe and whole, but still keep them IC because you still love them despite their shortcomings and faults. Vash yells, "Nai, put him down!"
[ Honestly... I was going to say Knives respects that, but he doesn't.
More extensions come and circle Scien, cutting through the air with a swishing sound, and very quickly they dive in and he's made into... No meat at all. Just a very large blood pool that drops like rainfall from where he hung and I guess spills onto Knives. He doesn't mind it.
ANYWAY, I GUESS AUDIENCE END. I'm sorry for Knives, even though he's very funny. ]

scien thinks so too but he doesn't say it for once, instead just making his footsteps intentionally audible as he approaches.]
You two.

scien raises his one hand behind his head slowly, open-handed. unarmed!]
Curiosity. I'm not here for a fight.

And why should I grant you an audience?

[truly he still has the audacity]
I want to know if the name 'Vash' means anything to you.

Also for saying that name. Who allowed you? Not him. ]

Do you seek to protect him?
Or replace him?
