Welcome to Gaia! ::

'I am breathing well now,' Sabine thought, 'but for a moment I felt odd...' she cut off when M moved in close to her and stared at him, wide-eyed, but stayed put to let him test the theory he'd explained. And she couldn't help pulling a deep breath in herself, while he was there. His scent gave her an unexpected amount of pleasure. But upon hearing Leeloo's voice, she jumped back and spun to face her, startled.

The emotion gathered and gathered until, Leeloo repeated the movement she had made before, and the emotion met the two people. Memories and many strong emotions would cause them to react. They would know what she felt. Anger, pain, hatred, fear, happiness, loneliness, sadness. All of them. "You will understand. Memories combined with the emotions..."

((I have to go to school. Later! ))

M shot back against the wall as if by some unseen force. However, it was only his body flinching at the sudden intrusion of his mind. He stared, his eyes unseeing, but his mind's eye saw it all. As the torrent of feelings and the images associated with them passed through him, M felt detached. Although they were like his own feelings and memories, his own mind constantly reminded him these were not his own. When it was over, M was left with the remnants of what he had seen and felt, but nothing more. He understood Leeloo more clearly. "....the numerous feelings you feel at once could be a form of a bi-polar disorder.....the pain you feel is brought on by the intense depression present during your low periods....Human medications have found a way to balance this...." M thought to Leeloo, trying to suggest ways to help her.

".....before Leeloo's entrance I noted you smelled very similar as predicted....however I also noted a pungent aroma of carbon..as well as something...sweet?...." M couldn't quite recall or describe the scent. It was probably something unique to Sabine or possibly her draconic species. Either way M was done with his test and the results were conclusive. He wasn't dieing. However, the fact remained that both experiments smelled a little unpleasant and this continued to bother him, making him wrinkle his nose at himself.

"....I would assume they would.....with all the humans living together like lab rats......I am positive there must be some means of cleansing the body.....A public one would not be efficient with the number of humans this building must house.....Perhaps there is one per floor.......Do you suppose they use ultraviolet baths or something more primitive?....." M was about to open the door to leave and search, but his eye caught something out of his peripheral vision. The porcelain toilet was similar in shape and design to what M had in his cell. His anti-bacterial light bath had been housed on the wall near the white instrument of disposal. M did not find what he was used to, but he found the large tube and shower head that accompanied it. Both were wet. Recalling that Sabine had mentioned water could wash a scent away, M assumed this must be the human method for self cleansing. "....Sabine....what is this?....."

(lol)
M stumbled backwards as well until the counter top for the sink halted their progress. When Sabine bumped into him, M had reflexively wrapped his arms around her to keep him from falling over. Now that they were stopped and M could take note of the situation, he found that holding Sabine like this was very comfortable and he saw no immediate reason to let go. Back to the topic at hand, M looked suspiciously at the shower. It appeared dangerous to him. M was almost willing to bare the smell at the off chance that the human contraption would kill him. "....I must see this in use.....perhaps one of the humans are show-ing..show..shower..showering...at this moment...." M thought to Sabine before searching the minds of the humans on this floor for thoughts of cleanliness. At this late hour, M found many of the humans were asleep. Those that weren't were thinking 'dirty' for some reason.

Sabine had no clue what to do with herself. Her proximity to M was making her body react very strangely... but it was rather pleasant. She looked at the shower as M did and thought, 'It isn't dangerous; it simply startled me.' Then she twisted and pulled herself away from M to look at him. 'Are you doing something to me?' she asked him. Her heart had raced when he touched her; did that have something to do with his powers?

"...I did not do anything...I was the shower's defense mechanism....the humans must know how to disarm in....they must treasure their impurities..." M thought, deciding the humans were just as devious as some of Leeloo's images depicted. ".....Perhaps variables will be more in our favor when more of the humans wake up.....we can have them show the proper use of the shower then...." M decided. Since Sabine left his embrace, M no longer felt a reason to remain in the bathroom and left it. His smell would just have to be endured for a night. Entering the bedroom again, M remembered how tired he felt and began undressing as he usually did for bed. His clothes would be taken and returned to him in the morning, clean and pressed. M doubted he would receive the same treatment from the primitive humans. Habit was a hard thing to break and dropped his clothes on the floor by the bed anyway. The sheets felt smooth, soft, and cool against his skin, another pleasant surprise produced from the human bed. It appeared that not all human things were primitive. "....Sabine....there is more than enough room in this cell....do you wish to keep me company through the night?....." M asked rather than told her, another first for him.
