Upgraded

Log 15

       Once Kristin had left, Ryan had flopped on his bed to think things over. He couldn't tell if Lux was mad at him or just confused on his sudden outburst of emotion. Just as he was trying to wrap his head around things, there was a nock on his door.
"One second," he rolled over off the bed and stumbled to the door. When he opened it there was a box resting against his door. "Ok, then." Ryan mumbled as he picked up the box and took it to his bed. Setting it down, he pulled out the knife that his father gave him. A small pocket knife, not very sharp, but it still could poke holes in tape and boxes. As the knife poorly cut the take he saw the black fabric folded inside.
        He opened the box and started pulling out the articles of clothing so he could see them in full. Inside there was a deep cerulean blue shirt with a black vest that held a few holsters along with a pocket for a knife. Black dress pants were folded nicely under the shirt and vest, under those were a pair of black combat boots.
         "Well then, looks like I need a new hair color." Ryan smiled as he ran into the bathroom to change. Inside was a personal Cyro pod, where Ryan changed his hair color to match the shirt. As he changed he couldn't help but look in the mirror and check himself out. "Not bad for a new dew. Also this isn't going to help Fade calling me Rainbow Bright... eh, I ain't gonna make a fuss of it. I like it and that is what matters." He nodded into the mirror as he walked out. He held his chest out and pranced around trying to look cool, failing, but in his mind, he was the coolest person in the world.
        Breaking him from his show was another thunderclap. Dropping him to the ground, because he was too busy parading like a cool guy. Ryan held his ears and looked outside. He glanced over to Lux'  balcony and sighed, "I should talk to hi-"

    "We need these people to the main hall, NOW. Ryan Delgait, Kristin Flecher, Able Morrison, and Lux Northwood. Don't make us wait!"

       A speaker boomed, scaring Ryan as he pulled over the black jacket that was also in the box. "I'm comin' sheesh, people can be so tense here," Ryan mumbled as he walked out his door. As he turned the hall corner he saw Lux closing his door. He looked even more like a prince. He had shaved the scruff off his face and pulled back his hair into a ponytail behind his neck. His green eyes were closed as he turned back to look down the hall.
      He opened his eyes and met Ryan's quickly before Lux adverted his look from him and walked to the main hall. "H-Hey wait up!" Ryan called after him and ran to catch up. He looked up at the tall, tan, muscular Lux and wished he could tell him what was going on.
"Hey Lux, how's your arm?"

      "Hurts like hell, but it will be fine, thank-" Lux's legs locked and he fell to the ground, "Are you kidding me?! Not now."He swore and looked down at his legs under his jeans. He pulled up his pant leg so he could see the metal joint that seemed to lock up, "These damn things need to stop getting stuck, it is truly pissing me off. Eu juro por Deus que vou matar aquele bastardo assim que Eu colocar minhas mãos nele." Lux swore in another language as he took out a small screw driver that he used to lossen a skrew that looked tighter compared to the others along the bionic leg. It's mechanical components twisted and fired as he bent his knee and twisted the joint to the side, resting the range of the leg. Ryan wondered what it felt like to have an actual physical upgrade.
         His ears gave him trouble but he never had to tighten them. His piercings helped enough that most of the sounds of the world, but they still hurt when loud noises happened around him. As he watched Lux struggle to fix his leg he also tried to wrap his head around what he said.
        "What did you just say? That wasn't english." Ryan went to help him up, but Lux pushed him off and stood on his own. He kicked the leg a few times before he put his pant leg down. He turned back to Ryan and shook his head with his palm resting on his forehead, "I forgot not everyone speaks Portuguese. I basically said that I'm going to kill Malcom as soon as I see him."

"Ohhh, that's cool! When did you learn to speak Portuguese?"

"Um, since I was able to talk."

"What?"

"I was born in Brazil. My mother is native and my father was a foreigner from America."

    "Ohhhhhh, thats cool!" Ryan's eyes lit up at he watched Lux start to walk with a limp, but walking nonetheless. They walked in silence as the rounded the corner of the hall and saw the others sitting at a table with Fade standing with his arms crossed across his chest as he paced next to a taller man with an eye patch.
       "Alright, let's get this shit show on the road." The man addressed the groups as he put a hand on Fade's shoulder to stop him from pacing.

This is going to be great. I'm both terrified and excited. Here we go.
