Unsettling... the skin she was in, the body she wearing... it didn't feel like her. It didn't feel like Umbrage, but Alison said that might have been a good thing. In her own words 'People will only see the machine if you only ever wear the face of a hunter. Be Human for just a day and they'll see Isabelle and not Umbrage.' It sounded far easier than how it would had probably turned out, but for now she had hoped that this would go....smoothly. Isabelle wasn't much for the puns of her sister. As she arrived in Camlorn from the bus she reevaluated her own appearance and it was convincingly human. Wearing an moderate button up t-shirt with a dark long sleeve undershirt and some jean shorts to meet up with the day of curious connections set up. With a small messenger bag carrying a few baked goods and a few knives. Her sister questioned the necessity of such dangerous tools, but Isabelle had insisted the need for them as a means to defend herself.
Despite having already enhanced strength, she found the weapon to be a good use for intimidation in the streets of dagos. Especially since she could move faster than the average human. Arriving at a rather luxurious estate to see several others that have already arrived and were being organized into their own pairs, Isabelle rushed along hopng to not be left behind. She couldn't help mutter to herself as she spoke underneath her breath. "Gotta make just one friend."
The events to transpire caught her further off guard however as she was paired with a magi, but their established room was a swimming pool with many other attachments that made it seem like one of the hotels in Dagos. She had taken the time to change into a one piece swimsuit that covered up a majority of her main body, but the feeling of being human even with synced sensations to the skin felt so off when exposed to the air that she kept her button up shirt on as she re met the magi at the pool. Sitting on the side with her feet being the only being submerged. As if testing the water and her ability to not... fry in the water.
Her hollow alloy with this new body and advance synthskin should make her comparable to a human in weight as well as ability to float.... but the idea of sinking didn't take to her. It was some time before she realized that some minutes have gone by without either of speaking a word to one another. Did she really seem that uncomfortable or was she always this way in repulsing social interaction.... 'Gotta at least try!'
"Uh sorry I don't think I heard you or uh was paying attention. Sorta y'know... too much thoughts going on at once n'all. I'm Umhh.... Isabelle, Isabelle Mayari and whoa re you?" She asked the magi. Hopefully she wouldn't make this too weird or was it weird already.

Freedom, with a hint of exhilaration; and boredom, well, later on that was. Kai was amazed, no, blown away, when Curious Connections lead him to a pool room. HOW IN THE WORLD-!? How do you do this?! Kai immediately ripped off their clothes and leaped into the pool. “So warm!” The magi shrieked happily. Splashing around and frolicking in the waters like a fish on land. Kai reveled in how the water slid across their smooth body. His long hair would be a pain to brush later but that wasn’t now! His flat chest pressed firmly against the wall when he came up for air. Huffing slowly, taking in deep breathes, their tail swaying heavily in the water. Currently their form was mostly masculine, using their older form with hints from their feminine one. The long hair and the graceful features gave him something of an androgynous look so he wouldn’t be surprised if his partner was having trouble deciding which he was. Gender was a fluid thing for Kai, sure he assumed the pronoun of whatever he looked like at the time, but the magi didn’t really like it. Not to say that he hates it, he just didn’t want to confuse people all the time, especially when he was one of those ambiguous magi that didn’t like to stay in any one form for too long. Curious connections paired him up with someone, interesting? They just sat at the edge of the on the opposite side of his end of the pool, off to themselves. Kai shrugged and pushed himself out of the water, wringing out of tail and ears with a shake before walking over to the other side. Streams of water dripping down his body, cooling as they slide along their predetermined paths. Kai froze in place and tilted his head curious when his partner finally decided to speak up. The kitsune waited for her to finished her question before acting. He leaned down to the water, laying down flat on the reflective surface, not sinking. Kai draped his left arm lazily over his belly while he bent his right arm to support his head. The classic modeling pose. “Well, my name is Kai ‘fabulous’ Stiel. Glad to meetcha miss Isabelle.” The magi continues to float across the watery surface, not even grazing the warm waters. He just let the gentle heat warm his body up. He adjusted his trajectory and soon his was floating over to Isabelle, still holding his pose. “You should try the waters, they’re really fun. Watch!” He laughed, giving his partner a smiling wave as he undid his magic and suddenly fell into the water. He laughed as he slowly floated back up, still holding that same stance. "See, told ya!" He giggled to himself. UmbrageCurrent Appearance |

The magi had seem to have enough energy to make up for the lack of optimism she had for the situation. It was was quite strange with how... eccentric the individual was in front of her. Levitating in front of her in such a, uh interesting fashion was sorta funny. Isabelle could only really stare as he continued to speak. Most of her life had been usually overly serious and Kai's energy seemed to be rubbing off on her. As she snickers a bit from his name. "Is you're middle name really fabulous?" Watching his float just above the water in some strange way that just kept teasing the possibility of falling into the water. As he Kai suggested going into the water after his 'graceful' dip. Isabelle could definitely feel a smile persisting to show itself upon her lips. Looking to her new feet as she continued to stretch and spread her toes, it was an odd sensation having toes... but every time she thought about going into the water there was always hesitation. "I know this might sound silly, but I'm actually afraid of going into the water... y'know cause us robot types sorta sink rather than swim." Despite her own words she was slowly sliding herself down into the water. As she splashed into the water she clung onto the closest thing to her believing it to be the edge of the pool. "Heh... not so bad... just so long as I stay in the shallow end." Slowly starting to forget her own strength she began clutching just whatever she was holding onto just be sure she wouldn't lose her grip. Chuckling nervously as she couldn't help but look at the bottom of the pool. Kai Stiel |

"Ah I gotcha." He nodded understandingly, he supposed that if he was a machine he'd want to be careful of water. Though you'd think that whoever manufactured such an expensive body would have the brains to make it water proof. With all the confusion with 'high definition' robotics and hosted humans though Kai didn't think it polite to mention this line of thought to them. Instead he watched Isabelle encouragingly as she/he/they(?) slowly gathered the courage to push themselves into the shallow end of the pool. A little unnerved doing it but doing it nonetheless. Just watching them Kai thought he might tear up. Overcoming one's fears was always a thing to celebrate and the poor zero magi thought he just might burst with joy. "See there? Not too bad isn't it?" Kai smiled from ear to ear as his tail wagged back and forth. Still floating on the surface of the water he slid down to a slightly more comfortable position. Belly laying flat against the waters as his head leaned on both palms of his hands. The ever present tail wringing itself out. "Yep, keep a steady grip there. Don't worry too much, if you fall I'll pull you out." He assured warmly. Maybe talking will distract her from the water? "In the mean time why don't you tell me more about yourself? You seem like a very interesting person I'm sure you got some stories to tell." He purred softly. Maybe I'll even get to tell you some of mine if we got the time.

Isabelle had chuckled nervously clutching onto the side of the pool as she wondered just how much of herself was still operating... or just how much water she could sustain before short circuiting. "I suppose it isn't as bad as it seems... it's just... I'm so used to jumping before I look until.... well an incident. So I've been nervous about such things since then." It was strange to have a conversation outside of her family. Was it going well... was she doing anything or saying anything awkward. Isabelle couldn't help but think for a bit longer than usual on what she was about to say. "I uh... about me well... I uh help my caretaker with his workshop. As well as uh participate in a few side jobs. I have a cat named Snickers... I'm... not all that interesting outside of that." She was trying to think of everything outside of her life as a hunter. "I feel odd and out of place before this body was upgraded... and people used to give me strange looks. I horrible at conversation and I just..." She realized she was rambling about all the built up anxieties that she grew red in the face. Was it selfish of her ramble in such a way... she really didn't know. Conversations were hard trying to get people to understand her was just too confusing. Slowly she loosened her grip from the panic and fell into the water... looking up at the surface as she was submerged under the rather calming waters. 'huh so this is what being under water feels like.' Kai Stiel |

"Oh I see." Kai said sympathetically. It seemed like a sore subject so he let it slide. However the questions didn't seem to distract his friend, if anything they seemed more tense. As they talked however they incrementally relaxed, bringing up their cat, (totally adorable by the way), their job. They were pretty vague with the details which didn't help Kai at all in trying to learn more about his partner. He raised a relaxed knuckle under his chin as he settled deeper into the waters, a sitting position with only his head sticking out. The water soaked locks freely floating around his mostly nude form.
The Kitsune kept pace as they spoke about their insecurities before slipping, accidentally, into the water. Kai couldn't help but smile at the sight. Not matter the form he was in love with life. Cyborg, magi, hu-..... well, he wasn't so sure thinking about it. However he knew that he loved life infront of him. Two skittish children exploring their bodies and the concept of love, cats purring in the sunlight, a rowdy crowd getting pumped up for a game, a shock of a surprised cyborg. Such mundane things, such beauty they held. Oh gods, he could cry just thinking about it. The sheer breathlessness of creation, that incomprehensibly infinite breathing, and living right in front of it. Ah, he could never tire of it. Whenever they would decide to come up he would smile sweetly at them, greeting them with a kind, "How do you do?" Chuckling, "You seem to be enjoying yourself, I'm glad."
Quickly submerging himself for a moment he relished the feeling of warm water against his scalp. "I myself don't have much to say about myself either. Just a simple Ikigaian who moved to Dagos to live with his brother, moving against after the revolt." He said dismissively. "Tragic I know, but its comforting to know that we have nice people like you in this world." He beamed.
