A Cold Cold Path
#31
Ascension shifted the overlapping plates of his chassis irritably, a low and permeating hum resounding through cavern, not quite loud enough to draw attention, but enough for each of he others to feel a vibrating deep within their chests. The Reaper could deduce that emotions were high-strung, and that it would take little to set off something that would be good for neither side. Slowly moving its jointed legs, the machine rotated its body towards the leaders of both groups, who were glaring daggers at one another. 

"It would seem the other individual is correct, Ballad. The reasons for which you kill are irrelevant in this, and any, situation." Ascension felt the heated glare of the gunslinger. He could feel the malevolence and deadly intent focus on his, though Ascension din't respond, instead opting to continue vocalizing its thoughts.

"You seek to hide your deeds, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter. Once an act is committed, it cannot be taken away. Yet, you still continue to hide your dark past behind fanciful words and deflection. As for the other individuals in the room, many of them display their deeds in the way they move, in the way they choose to carry themselves, and how they react to certain triggers." Ascesnions gaze met the red irises of Mr. Lynch. 


"You, as an example, display many signs of PTSD, and react very violently to oppressive and commanding figures, such as Dr. Crane. Your eyes dart about, looking for any and every sign of danger, and your body language displays a deep-seated need for some kind of vengeance.

"You do not hide, as Ballad does." Koal looked away, his red orbs turning back to their usual violet hue as he reflected and absorbed the speech. Ballad's glowing eyes were rapidly changing colors, and beneath his heavy clothing, The Reaper could almost see the tensed muscles and clenched jaw.

Shifting back around, Ascension's inset-like legs moved the advanced piece of tech away from the group, and toward the exiting tunnel of the glacial cave.

"I shall not participate in violence based on emotion platforms. So I shall take my leave and await the victor."

And with a final, rumbling hum, the machine disappeared into the deep and unrelenting shadows of The Frozen.
