Zero x One [CANCELED]

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Technoblade looked around the room in search of Journeyman, but he seemed to have disappeared. That wasn't a particularly good sign. Neither was the Ardoni slowly making his way toward Techno and Tommy.

"You must be the last ones. I've heard many things about you," the Ardoni told the duo. Techno was confused by this.

"And I have heard nothing about you," Tommy impulsively remarked. The Ardoni scowled at the boy, prompting him to shut the fuck up.

"So allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tygren Voltaris." Techno could have sworn a dark synth drone was audible, although there was no source in his field of view. He also felt a bit chilly, though this could be attributed to the fact that it was getting darker and colder by the hour.

"Uh... my name is Technoblade Vilsvin, although you can just call me Techno. My friend here is Tommy," he told Tygren.

The Voltaris nodded. "Well, I suppose you two are the final ones required for whatever the hell this is to begin. I was getting bored of the other five we currently have," he said as he made a hand motion toward the other five people in the room. There were three other humans along with two others of different species. One, a male teen, had an orange jacket with a hood over his head. He was leaning against the wall, bored out of his mind but attempting to appear tough.

"I resonate with that guy," Tommy remarked. The Magnorite from early handed a sharpened knife to one of the other humans: a female teen in a tie-dye hoodie. The two seemed to be friends, judging by the way they were behaving. Techno suddenly thought about how cool it would have been to have a Magnorite as a friend.

"I wonder where Journeyman has gotten off to... not that it matters, we could likely leave if we wanted to." Tygren seemed to be scanning Techno for weaknesses. He was about to scan Tommy, but it appeared that he was not interested in the boy, or he didn't think much of him.

"So... what now, Techno?" Tommy asked. Techno found it somewhat flattering that Tommy chose to ask him rather than the person who was clearly much cooler than him. "I don't know... let's just see what these other people are like," he advised the boy. He pushed past the menacing Ardoni and approached one of the others there. He was a white-haired Felina wearing a dark green jacket.

"Hey," Techno greeted the stranger.

"And just who might you be? I'm assuming you're the asshole who's been keeping the rest of us waiting?" Techno flinched slightly.

"Well, I'm... I'm the last one, yes," he admitted. The Felina eyed him suspiciously.

"My name is Kiyoshi," he told Techno. He had a Conchordian accent, which told Techno he may have been one of the first here. Meaning he would have been extra-frustrated with Techno.

"Yeah..." Techno was about to apologize, but was interrupted.

"Well, at least you're here. But I'm still trying to figure out where the hell 'here' is. I know we're under an abandoned apartment building in West Port, but that's... actually, that's not really anywhere at all, is it?" Kiyoshi seemed to be distracted by all of this talk.

"Yeah, well, uh... it was nice meetin' you I guess. I should probably go talk to the others." Techno turned to look at Tommy, who it seemed was attempting to flirt with the girl who had been talking to that Magnorite. Speaking of the Magnorite, where was he?

"Tommy, wait, I think-" Techno tried to warn his friend but it was too late. The Magnorite stood behind Tommy with his arms crossed looking down at him. The boy turned around and looked into the Magnorite's eyes, which very well could have been live fires.

"Are you going to break my arms?" Tommy asked nervously.

"Maybe," the towering Magnorite responded. Tommy gulped. In the corner of his eye, he saw Techno about to try breaking the two up, until he felt a hand push him back. It was the Magnorite's friend, who apparently didn't like it when he broke people's bones.
