The Simulation [Inactive]

Atlas nodded quietly slowing so Rakia could keep up, his eyes falling upon the shop.


"He's enjoyable to be around, much like you and Archer. So I don't entirely mind helping him, as I imagine you don't care about helping either." He stated absently, saying it rather then keeping it within his mind like she usually would. But he was quite comfortable around Rakia, her being the first person he actually befriended in his life.
 
Rakia laughed breathily, silently thankful for his slowing. "Yeah well.. When I was a kid I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital or my room. I got to go to school after like.. a couple years of convincing. After meeting other people my age I realized being selfish really isn't worth it." She said bluntly, not really minding it. "Even if I give droid a hard time.. or anyone else, Im still gonna help them because it feels good to be there." She walked in and grabbed oil, noticing the shopkeeper was asleep. The shop was a lot less sterile and overall sort of grey. "Dare me to poke his nose?"
 
Atlas listened intently, wishing to know why she had been kept up inside of a hospital. But he respected her privacy much like she respected his, if she wished to tell him she would. So instead he nodded in understanding, then looked over at the man.


"I imagine you wish for me to say 'yes'," He gave her a stare like a parent would, one where just with their eyes they stated


'why would you even do such a thing, get your butt in the car' But it lightened up a bit as he whispered,


"So...Yes...I dare you."
 
Rakia giggled mischievously and snuck close to the man. She was quite animated in her movements, as though putting on a little show for nobody to see. She bent over his face, chuckling silently at his snoring and mouthed. 'Run when I say go.' Then, she gave one hard flick to his nose. "Go go go!" She yelled, sprinting out of the shop hearing yelling and gun shots in the store.She ran as fast as she could until she couldn't breath any more, without paying attention to much else.She laughed through wheezing, easily entertained and thoroughly pleased..
 
The light in Droid's eyes slowly began to fade. He was about to shut down.


He heard gunshots from afar. He guessed they got the oil.
 
Archer forgot his glowing bow when he saw Droid.


"They better hurry up..." he muttered as he got up and walked to the robot's side.
 
Atlas heard the steps behind him, and quickly scooped up Rakia in his arms fearing that her stamina would cause an injury to befall her.


"Don't lose that oil..." He mumbled, quickening the pace a small smile playing on his lips though it was unnoticeable behind his mask. They reached the bridge and the steps and gun shots faded out but he didn't slow down until they came to Droid and Archer. His breaths hitching.
 
Archer saw Atlas running with Rakia towards them. He stood up and helped Rakia down.


"What'd you guys do?" he asked.
 
Rakia gasped until the gun firing was far behind and she heard Atlas struggle a bit. Her body went slightly lax with fatigue so she was thankful for not getting left behind. Rakia immediately sat down, mouthing thank you and trying to gather herself. "..o-oil... flicked a s-sleeping dude... fun.."
 
Archer frowned. "Okay... but now we need to put the oil on Droid. I can barely see the light in his eyes." he said.


His bow was still glowing purple. Archer made a mental note to try it out later.
 
Atlas sat down leaning against a tree as he took in deep breaths, like he would be instructed if his mother was there. He made sure to keep quiet, to not draw any attention to himself. Why was he experiencing this though he questioned, of course this game attended to detail but why would they make his asthma come back.


Then at the mention of Droid he looked at him, and just as described by Archer his eyes where quite dim. Atlas though soon closed his eyes continuing to breath.
 
When her heart quit fluttering, she stood up slowly and came to Droid. As gently as she could, she filled it with oil, though her hands shook and made it a bit messy. "S-sorry.. I gotcha Droid." She said, smiling tiredly, but truly enjoying being of help. "Better?"
 
The light in Droid's eyes instantly brightened. Sounds of gears could be heard. "Thank... you... Rakia..." he said as the metallic container became hidden once again.
 
(Let's say Archon was off looking for his party and returned)


"Hey! Atlas!" Archon shouted as he saw him

Rakia smiled brightly and nodded, standing back up, quivering on her feet. Though the beating in her chest became regular, she was too tired to recover from the last. She dropped her back against a tree and slid down, rubbing her eyes. "Just in time to sleep... find your people Archon?"
 
"Not yet.." He replied as he looked away. "What happened? Are you guys alright?"

Atlas was relieved to hear that Droid was rejuvenated, but didn't respond his knees close to his chest and his head rested onto the side of his knees. And simply waved to Archon, keeping quiet as it continued to feel like no air would enter his lungs.
 
Rakia nodded. "Think Atlas is on the verge of an allergy attack though.. Give him a rest. Its late anyways." She said, feeling guilty as he tried to help her. She looked at him and frowned. "Next time you shoulda left me alone. We've all got limits ya know."
 
Archer found Fluffy behind a bush and carried him over to Rakia.


"It's still your turn." he said with a weak smile.
 
Atlas nodded his head no, keeping his eyes shut. He was to stupid to leave people behind, not when it's difficult to find good people. He looked up readjusting his mask before standing, and swaying a bit which caused him to place a hand on the trunk of the tree he was beside.


"Walk.." He muttered quietly before turning and leaving down a small path, memorizing land marks so he wouldn't get lost.
 
Rakia got up and speed walked up to him, taking Fluffy on her shoulder happily. "Hey wait.. I don't want you passing out on the trail."
 
Droid watched as Archer carried the kitten to Rakia, making him remember something that will annoy them both. "Arckia..." he said as he stood up.
 
Rakia stopped short. Fuming. She forgot her condition and ran up to him, ready to spar. She took out her great sword. "What d-did you say, Droid?! You got somethin' ya wanna share?!"
