Remnant (Bionicle / RWBY crossover)

CS might be aware of a mental trigger, similar to those found when using Kanohi or powers. Or he might not.

"Hey." Argai approaches Cold Steel from behind, having decided to return to the scene of the battle and make sure there were no wounded left behind.

Sapphire shyly says "My name is Sapphire." She says, before letting out a squeak at Bianca's outburst and promptly trying to hide herself near Blake. She likes cats.

Sapphire blushes before awkwardly coughing.

Cold Steel turns back to gaze upon the wreckage, his eyes showing nothing. Was his body capable of showing emotion he might have stared at the destruction before him in a perpetual glare. But no, all he did was stare blankly, with those eyes that were empty as his soul....

"Suffering? It is the human condition. They wage war, they fight, they bicker among themselves and tear each other apart like wild beasts." Spoke Cold Steel, his voice cold and hollow. Turning back to Argai, he resumed speaking.

"I have never seen any of them in my life. I don't even know what this place is. I have never seen anyplace like it. It seems similar to my wretched birthplace, but..." He held up the crystal slightly. "It feels... different.."

Ruby takes the offered hand.  "Nice to meet you too."

The Bullhead pilot gestures for them to board and within a minute they are in the air.

OOC: Do you guys mind a small timeskip here?

Argai tends to the wounded, trying to stabilize them or at least ease the pain of death. "I'm not sure that's how it works... I mean, I try to be good, and I don't think I've fallen to the depths of darkness. And nobody is irredeemable..."

It saddened Argai that the bodies here were more dead than alive. Cold Steel's dialogue was not helping.

"You are so naive. Your experience in the world must be woefully small. Some say that ignorance is bliss, they are mistaken. Ignorance is weakness, another opportunity to allow yourself to be broken when you least expect it."

Cold Steel, deciding to follow Argai and seeing that there was no nearby threat, began overlooking the wounded and dying sprawled everywhere. He watched as Argai attempted to help, attempted to ease their pain. He walked further in, gazing upon the dead around him. Most would have looked away from the carnage that lurked there, it would be too much to see for most, but no. Cold Steel's eyes saw everything with flawless memory and detail... and didn't even care.

OOC:ok
IC: At 8, Citru is there, promptly. Andrew suddenly materializes, panting.
"Am I late?!"
"No."
"Good."
