Does it taste like honey?

[Blue Eyes]

Atonement stepped forth and entered through the west gate. The gate that were guarded by the Stormtroopers on the two sides. They had watched himtransform into the thing he was now, a cloaked figure of pitch black design. As the light took Atonement he couldn't help but think it funny. The pure darkness with the man of white, Omni. Him being a man pitch black entering a pure white scene. When finally the light no longer flooded his visions he'd be set into a world beyond recognition, Atonement stepping back heavily as shock overtook him visibly for the first time. What was this hell before him?

Hunny following in pursuit would notice Atonement being in a slight shock at the scene and not knowing why he'd look with his bunny Usa in tow, clung tight in the grip of his arms. A sky that appeared clean and pure well overhead, the heavens were dotted by the vehicles that could only be described as "Futuristic". Flying cars? No sign of jet planes though. Ships that were taking off for the worlds beyond and entering alike to land on elevated platforms connecting to skyscrapers that almost seemed to shine in the most formal presence of glass and steel. The entrance of the portal left them overlooking the Tier one of Coruscant where the buildings towered into the distance starting from the nearest of paths and ending at even the greatest horizons. Signs showing advertisements were in plain sight all wanting their attention. Theme Park Here! Best Pie This Side Of The Galaxy! Collectables This Way! Get Your Souvenir Here!

Hunny's eyes lit with a little excitement over the glorious scene before them, but so too kept near to Atonement as the place was unknown. The thoughts at the back of his mind still tickling with the simple word that there was need to get back home. However what side of Hunny would win over would surely show soon enough. Perhaps his desire for sweets? An inquisitive nature? Or need for information on which way was his ticket home? Then again his new friend would probably handle it without problems and where he might miss Mori and Haruhi-chan the situation now was also an opportunity. A chance to let someone else handle it while he relaxed. Atonement's views were not so beautiful however.

As Hunny's eyes were able to focus on signs and attractions, taking note of a few soldier here and there yet throwing it off as peacekeeprs Atonement could only focus on that and the dangers. The skies were littered with human machines that could fall upon their heads in an instant, the streets were swarmed with people who obviously were armed to the teeth with weapons Atonement did not know and could not understand. Weird little devices turned in every corner, watching them, watching others. They were under observation- no... The entire world was under observation wasn't it? Yes...That was more the case...

The humans here have torn scars into the earths so deep and killed this planet long ago surely. This thriving utopia where plant life is given rights and privileges only on choice location? Where the world had surely been torn apart to steal it's metals, it's scraps, it's gems, everything. This was probably a utopia built upon the screams and cries of despair sounding from the world of the spirits. And for what? That same utopia being where man must control man? A realm where people had to keep others under their thumb. Between the hood and his pure black flesh no one could see the tears coming down Atonement's face. He too had been a man of evils. A creature of nightmares. But how was it humans could always find a way to trump him...

Taking in a deep breath Atonement would hold it for a moment before exhaling, stepping forward towards the nearest stationed stormtrooper, not wiping the tears but thanks to the darkness of the hood and black flesh they'd not appear anyways. "You're a soldier of this world. Are you not? Could you explain the Currencies, Rules, and Regulations of this land?" But there was something to note. Atonement was acting...Not politely. But with at least some level of manners. Atonement would gather information and gain the knowledge of their Credit System. Though it took some discussion it seemed that a bartering system was also available to certain visiting primes? He had never heard that term before but did not press into the matter. Atonement had gained enough on learning the basics at least.

Same old same old. Concern over theft, concern over violent acts, concern over trespassing in restricted areas, concern over one thing and concern over another. How it always seemed to be the same rules on even a different day. When finally Atonement came to a seat with Hunny he'd sit down with the boy still in tow and pull out another fraction of Omnilium. He paid focus on it, heavily enough at least as it slowly took shape. He had learned enough to know what he needed to know, no one able to tell what attention he had. He was focused now though. Focused on details. 1 Ounce. A Singular weight. Multiplied x 1000. Weight value 2.4xP. Leather bag. Thicker. Draw string. A solid tie. Before long a bag would finally come into full detail made of a basic leather and drawstring containing one thousand pristine gold cubes each weighing exactly one ounce with a total value of an estimated 12-13 credit. Figuring instead to provide this value to a lower rate of 10 credit the bag's content would value at a total of 10,000 credit worth the trade with a profit margin total value of 2000-3000 credit towards the benefit of the person willing to barter. At the idea of 1 credit being worth 60 cents in USD a single one of the 1000 cubes would be worth simply 6 dollars.

However the bag was formed closed up so Hunny would not know it's contents. Taking it at hand he'd tuck it into his robe formed by an outstretched transformed layer of skin to mimic cloths, an inner fold stretching and wrapping around the bag, retaining a sense of touch and hold around it. With that Atonement would rise, looking down at Hunny with his own eyes unable to be seen. Being five foot and eight inches in this transformed state he had a small height factor taken back to his favor, not one to look up to anyone. Especially not a kid. But Atonement would say nothing yet. Almost as if he knew his own paths and old requirements. He had to find information here. With this bag of cubes however? Perhaps they could find some interesting tools to purchase too. To study. To learn.

Atonement would step forward towards the crowd and leave Hunny to follow. "Keep an eye open for things of interest...Things of worth...And people who are the same. Otherwise we'll never get anywhere...I'm going to keep mine open for a place of knowledge. A place of study...Perhaps history can tell us more." No swearing. No anger. Not since they went through the portal. Was it an act or the real Atonement? Was it ultimately even the same person?

[Mitskuni]

Hunny was both amazed and shocked at the situation at hand. This place seemed so lively, so interesting more than he had ever witnessed before. His eyes lay rest on the tasty (presumably) foods being advertised as he sat next to Atonement. He's been acting weird, Hunny thought as he had just conjured a leather bag and tucked it into his cloak. His words and speech have been different as well. "Where are we gonna go next" He gripped usa-chan, and hoped he would say somewhere to eat. Perhaps some sweets, they could use some food.

He got looked through the crowds of people and signs and buildings, trying to spot anything of interest. He pointed out somewhere that looked like some sort of library/café area, and informed Atonement with hopes of a nice snack. The area outside the building was covered in moving signs and advertisements, the place didn't look very busy though. It was the first floor of a much taller building reaching up into the sky, above it were a number of cafes and restaurants among various things he had never heard of. Seeing the waitresses through the window of the building reminded him of his past as a host. Though it wasn't that long ago, it felt like years since he had been away from his friends. At the same time things have been moving so quickly for him, things for him have been changing so fast and he couldn't quite decide his emotions on the subject.

[Blue Eyes]

Atonement drifted forward like a shadow in the light. His eyes never laying to rest upon a single thing twice as the stormtroopers did not much of the same. Perhaps they had an interest in the cloaked figure that was walking the street. Perhaps they had 'Trouble With Robed Figures Before'. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. But all of these were not absolute as Atonement continued on his path and continued to travel around, his eyes always gathering more information then he could afford to lose out on. That is to say until Mitskuni pointed out an area himself.

Atonement would cast his eyes upon the building that appeared to be some kind of library. A place of reading. A place of knowledge. Perhaps he can gain something and with that he'd be able to gather ever so much more then reasonably available now. Atonement would finally look down on Hunny who's eyes would be full of hope and wishes for what action was to come. He could only nod as he pursued the task at hand, moving to the Library Cafe combo, the cafe alone being a great place for information due to the nature of people being loud enough with their words and secrets. Even in a place of heavy security.

Upon entering Atonement sought the woman who had just recently caught Hunny's eyes, the poor girl given a slight scare at the man of pure black flesh hiding in the darkened hood. The words were about exchange and barter, to see if this place would accept the currency that was gained by Atonement just now after his discussion with the guard. Though the world ran mostly on credit barter and trade were common in this entire city it seemed, acceptance of the trade being simple perfection before Atonement's eyes.

"Hunny. We'll gather information here. Go ahead and order what you want. If they've got sake here I'll take some. If they serve actual food here I wouldn't mind some fish either. I'll be back soon enough to pay."

Atonement would leave for a short moment which left Mitskuni to fend on his own at the table. A discomfort to be alone in a place that was unfamiliar to the boy and though there was a chance at sweets and treats to keep his mind off the matter there was always still that minor thought at the back of his mind. Not that it had to show up with an adorable smile showing instead, putting on a cute air about himself so that one did not perceive the boy to be troubled in the slightest. Even as a waiter finally came to tend to them, the woman busy in another section of the cafe. That's when the question came. What were Atonement's words? Order What You Want?...

Atonement for the time would be busy as Mitskuni placed the order for a variety of sweets and fish, though any alcohol eluded a child's persuasion to acquiring it was at least a start. What Atonement sought were one of the books that were printed up rather then left on a data file within an archive, a book of a familiar language as there seemed to be several dozen different languages to deal with. And of course the book had to have something of value that pertained to the world and would be of interest to read. What Atonement got was a guide about primes.

Though it would take him what felt an eternity to find something that fit what he needed, and with it he'd return to find a sight... A table littered with pies and cakes of many variety as if an over-sized sample platter of diabetes waiting to happen with a lone corner showing a fully cooked whole fish and a lack of a drink. Atonement would step to the table and sit with a gruff huff of his tones, opening the book to begin once more researching basic knowledge to the people of these worlds despite it being news to him and Hunny alike.

Details about the revival process of the Prime. Details about their powers and abilities. Some common skills acquired by primes by focusing their accumulated Omnilium. Some things were left as no more then an item to research further as a veil fogged over absolute fact. But other things helped to lead him in the right direction of what he 'needed' to understand and not what he 'wanted' to know. When finally a man happened by to ask about the food it would be the first time Atonement would take the moment so speak.

"Sake...If you don't have it then White Wine...If not that either then Beer..."

His voice almost came out as a whisper yet the strength behind his pride gave it enough force to be heard by both the waiter and Mitskuni. His ears more focused on the chatter of the nearby tables and his eyes more focused in the book that he had at hand. Though his senses had come to be weak he still was trying his best to make them work for him. And he'd work those senses to the bloodied bones if he must. He also knew the guards of this realm, the storm troopers. They still had their watchful eyes on him Eyes that kept him behaving like a good little abomination of several lives.

[Blue Eyes]

Why were things so difficult to focus on. His ears were so weak, his senses so limited. How weak was he really? Was there even a way to test the limits of his power at the time? Certainly not. With the eyes that were cast upon him he knew better then to pick a fight or even try to find someone to spar with. For now he had to behave, even when the woman set down a beer next to his cooked fish. This caused the shadowy figure's eyes to twitch, if anyone could ever see the eternity of black upon black under a veil of shadow cast by his hood.

No wine. No sake. So they brought him the cheap swill that's merely rented by the people that drink it before they take it back to serve up the flavorless piss water again. This would cause him to sigh a sigh that lingered for several seconds until the untextured hand grabbed the bottle, his thumb becoming disfigured as it latched under the cap and grew around the base only to lift and pop it off with a relative ease. Immediately after taking the beer to pull up and chug down the content in a haste. In the end it felt so empty. Even as the bottle was left with no more then a drop of alcohol at it's base, set on the table with a hollow clack of the surface upon surface.

Was this empty feeling by not having been by the side of Envi any longer? Like a hunger that left him craving more. Perhaps he was actually happy in that old kingdom as no more then a footstool constantly polishing her feet as he did all in his power to manage her lands. Continually straining his body to cleave the mountains and move the stars if not just to fulfil one desire or another based upon her whims. Once more Atonement would sign, but this time the sigh was one of discontent that would catch Hunny's ear, yielding the boy to look up from their sweets. Before they could hope to ask anything Atonement would speak. "I'm Fine...It's just a long day...For both of us I'm sure..."

Reaching down he'd grab the whole cook fish and raise it to a point under his hood. His head lowering down so what came to be would not come to be seen by the eyes of any. To swallow the small meal whole, not bothering to do any such thing as chewing or the likes. He was accustomed to digesting the bones and in fact he was sure his stomach was still strong enough for that much. It certainly felt that way with the beer unable to retain it's property within. Slowly raising his head he'd return to the book, continuing the study on the primes. But the details were also filled with pointless advertisement about there being a constant recruitment for the primes as experiments. Certainly not for him...

'That Was When They Had Come To Enter The Same Cafe That He And Hunny Enjoyed Their Meals.'
