The Vulgarian Noise

[Lilith]

The peaceful slumbering sounds of Lilith sleeping. She valued her sleep these days, mainly cause 99% of her DNA had been reformatted as mere human due to her Lilium Strain Virus being removed. Now more than ever the term 'beauty sleep' was quite prevalent. Lilith was a bitch on little sleep.

And on a full nights sleep, and on a half nights sleep... well, etc etc.

... Un.... mnuff.... nno... I don't know where the desu is...

..... Really?

.. It can... nnyah.... always... use more desu....

..... I'm at a loss for words.

Hmmn.... desu-nee.. ~

Alright, patience exceeded.

THUD!!!

!! Son of a BITCH WHAT THE FU-...

Lilith's body had all but been dropped from her peaceful slumber, off of her bed, and onto the floor. The hard, cold, hotel room floor. Her eyes squint tightly and fast, trying to ascertain any amount of vision in the pitch blackness. She scrambles to grab hold of her blanket, considering you know, she's naked at the moment. Her eyes still battling to adjust before the silence is cut.

It can always use more desu, can it now?

... Katja?... The hell-

Lilith's eyes finally manage to focus, well somewhat anyway. She stares up from her still prone and halfway upside down fixture on the hotel floor to see the chibi-sized personal assistant named Katja; standing overhead in a light blue baby doll blouse and fuzzy pink bunny slippers.

.... Katja.. why did you wake me up.... why are you not wearing underwear... and why are you wearing bunny slippers....

A general haze in a monotone voice leaves her lips as she slews the questions forth. After last nights Drunken Encounter with one of the 'fellow' Diamonds on the XWA roster, Lilith who was herself definitely worse for wear, had basically passed out when she returned to the hotel Katja had set up for them. She finally slumbers off onto her hands and knees, crawling across the floor to the bedroom entrance way before pulling herself up to a vertical base. Her clothing of a blanket sheet half wrapped around her vivacious body, a long yawn escapes her.

I'm not the one completely naked. Don't judge my taste in night wear. And I woke you up for a very important reason. Come with me.

... Whuzzit... ?..

Lilith was sooooo far from awake right now. The sound of scrapping and shuffling fills her ears as her eyes cast down, following Katja's slippers as she identifies them as the source of the noise. A smirk and chuckle leaves her before she gets promptly hit with a large-

... Stuffed animal?... Oh that's fuckin' ADORE- OW..

Hmph...

Lilith laughs to herself as she follows the mini assistant from her bedroom through one of the halls of the penthouse suite. All the while stifling yawns as they bubble up to the surface of her throat. She rubs her eyes, trying to wake herself up somewhat halfway before accidentally bumping into Katja.

- Oh... hey, what's wro-....

.... That's why I woke you up.

Katja points out ahead with her right arm outstretched, the jet black stuffed bunny gripped tightly in her delicate fingers almost seems to 'shake' in fear at the direction the assistant was pointing. Lilith's eyes widen. Now. Now, Lilith was awake.

... What the hell is that.....

.. I figured you might know something about it...

.....

Lilith was still in too much shock to hear anything Katja was currently saying. Her gaze, along with Katja's, was firmly and vividly fixated on the center of their hotel rooms' den. Where a small, black and white figure, was laying asleep. Curled up like a kitten. The sound, of whatever it was, breathing - was soon filling the twos' ears. Lilith slowly places her right palm on Katja's shoulder, pulling her back ever so cautiously. Lilith quickly finishes wrapping the bed sheet up around her torso before taking, insanely, light and small steps down the hall.

! Wh- what the hell are you doing?! We have no idea what that thing is capable of! We don't even know if it's-

Shhh...

.... Lilith, that thing is-

Lilith simply raises her left hand in response, silencing Katja's protests. She continues the tip toe like march onward. Oh, this was a 'goooooood' week so far. Having to deal with that brain dead idiot Kate at work, having one of her head photographers accuse her of being a hooker, having some mini pigtailed Russian chick show up out of no where and tell her she's Iggy's step child. Being 'broken' out of work, arriving at the XWA Tower, meeting with the WRONG Blackheart, finding out some of her major rivals had just fled. And THEN running into a drunken Oriental chick who tried to hit up on her while relaxing at a bar. Oh, and now?

Now she finds some weird ass looking black and white... thing, in the middle of her penthouse suite; making some sort of insanely weird ass breathing pattern and scaring the living Be-Jesus out of her and her assistant.

Oh yeah, swell week.

!?.. The hell...

W.. wh-... what is it?..

.....

Lilith had reached her destination, she was standing not a mere foot from the odd looking.. creature. She slowly crouches down, her elbows resting on her knees as she stares at the creature intently. She stares back at Katja for a moment before blinking, and looking down at her assistant's right hand.

... Katja...

.. Y- yeah?...

.......

.... ?

....... It's your bunny.

.... Huh?

Lilith blinked.

Katja blinked.

They both blinked in unison. Lilith motioned for Katja to come over and inspect the odd creature. Upon her arrival... Katja's eyes widened in confusion and awe. She looked down at the large comical anime styled stuffed rabbit in her hands... then looked at the black and white creature sleeping in the middle of the room. It was almost an exact match. The bunny sleeping on the floor had long almost sharp ended jet black ears, the crown of it's head was snow white with two singular black stripes running down from it's forehead across the eyelids and underneath them. The nose was jet black, the tail was jet black. The body was a caveat of snow white fur and odd almost primitive ritualistic jet black markings. Lilith softly pokes the side of the sleeping rabbit, it rolls over and exposes it's long jackrabbit like hind legs. Snow white, jet black pads.

......

....

Hey...

.... ?

... How come you woke me up for this shit?

... Wh.. what?! Do you NOT find this strange?? How on EARTH could a rabbit that looks like THIS exist? Even if we simply IGNORED the insanely odd coloring AND the fact that all of it's markings are SYMMETRICAL... how can you explain the insanely large eyes feet and fact that instead of a cotton ball like tail which ALL RABBITS HAVE- THIS one has a tail more akin to a wolf or dog or-

Fox.

- Yes, it's like a fox....

.......

Silence fills the room. Katja had been staring directly at Lilith the entire time she went on her rant. Lilith's lips hadn't, moved.

At all.

.....

.......

The two stare at each other. Katja's left eye was beginning to twitch. Lilith found it kind of cute. She'd find it a lot more cute if this impending sense of almost campy style horror wasn't filling her mind right now. The two knew what they had to do, they just didn't want to do it. But slowly but surely, since curiosity always kills individuals. Both Lilith and Katja's heads begin to turn, inch by inch. Their eyes finally glue themselves to the odd little black and white rabbit in the center of their penthouse suite. The odd, little black and white rabbit... now sitting on it's hind legs. With it's odd, little jet black, fox like tail... swaying back and forth. It's big, oval shaped eyes opening and closing... blinking as it stares likewise, back at Lilith and Katja. The pure black abyss of it's eyes... almost hypnotizing. Lilith herself, began to twitch. Katja had dropped her stuffed animal... and was trying her damnedest to move backwards... to no avail. Finally...

Silence is broken...

My tail...

........

.....

It's most comparable to a Fox's, I've been told.

A campy over-used Anime-Style plot twist?
Perhaps a 'Screw You' to the viewers kind of 'Dream Sequence'?
Or have the writers simply run out of ideas?!

[Lilith]

........

.....

Lilith was not quite sure how to handle this situation. She wasn't surprised so much as struck quite honestly by a moderate amount of fear. In her state as a nice ordinary human being, dealing with something like this which was quite CLEARLY NOT NORMAL could be potentially dangerous. Least in the past when she engaged in psychosis inducing insane other worldly manners, she had the Lilium Strain Virus to save her ass in case things got out of control and her body was damaged beyond repair. Now?

Now she was pretty fucked right here.

... Katja....

... Wh.. it... tal-

I'm hungry. Would you two happen to have any food?

K... ka....- KKKYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

--!! Jesus Christ!

Lilith was bowled over onto her side by the sudden eruption of Katja. The outburst was enough to rattle your ear drums. Even the poor little odd black and white bunny was hunching down and covering it's long razor like ears with it's front paws. Lilith repeatedly nudges Katja with her foot from her prone position until finally pushing the assistant over with force in order to silence her screams.

.. Fuckin' hell Katja.... you almost blew my Goddamn ear drums-

IT WANTS TO EAT ME!

... Saywhanow?

.. I don't recall sayin-

YOU HEARD IT! IT WANTS FOOD! IT MUST BE A CARNIVORE! No rabbit that looks as suspicious and diabolical as that is nice and peace keeping, IT TALKS FOR FUCK SAKE! IT TALKS LILITH IT TALKS!

[/b][/color]

.... Yes I heard it too-

We need to kill it.

Well wait now-

Uh... kill it?

It's obviously a threat! Look at it, just look! With it's big large oval eyes and those... sharp ears - it's like... it's like if you crossed Bugs Bunny and that little freak doll from those Chucky movies. You know the one... what's his name.

I believe his name is Chucky.

Yes thank-... KKKKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

!! For FUCK SAKE KATJA-

IT TALKED TO ME AGAIN! IT'S UNDRESSING ME AND MARINATING ME WITH IT'S EYES!!!

.... Whossit?

.... Oh my.

The commotion continues for quite sometime really. Katja seems to go on and on with different examples of how the odd little black and white bunny is trying to infest her mind with dark thoughts, or how it secretly works for the government. How it's come from a planet in a galaxy far far away in which a hackney idiotic brother slips his sister the tongue before offing his father. Like that really really bad and overhyped movie, you know the one with the bad acting even though it had so much history and such leading up to it and the people waiting for it's release. You know the one I mean. You know;

Hamlet.

~ 15 Minutes Later.

So... how come you can talk.

You don't seem too surprised in my ability to do so.

Not really... I've dealt with much weirder situations in my life time 'Doc.

.. If I may, how come you refer to me as 'Doc'.

You know, 'what's up doc?'. I figured it suited you.

... Quaint. I must inquire, before I answer your questions.... what were you planning to do with her, exactly?

The bunny points with it's left ear outstretched towards poor Katja. Now currently gagged with a roll of socks, tied up with her own bed sheets and huddled neatly in a corner at the far end of the den. Lilith had tried to calm her down repeatedly. Even offered to take the bunny out somewhere so she could converse with it alone in order to understand things better. To which Katja had promptly replied with the belief that 'The rabbit will just kill you and take over your body, I saw it on one of those nature channels!' - Clearly, her fear and anxiety had taken hold of her mind. And rendered it useless for the time being.

Money well spent on a good assistant. Oh yeah. Lilith made a solemn vow to herself. If she out-lived this one too?

She was hiring a stripper for her next assistant. Maybe something in a German model. Oh, or Swedish. Hmmm... she'd have to think about that.

She'll be fine. Just... don't look at her, pretend she isn't there.

Mmmnf!... Mmmh... NNMMFFFMM!! MMMNMFHNMH!@!!!....

.... Quite.

So... what, are you, exactly.

I am an A.R.I.M - an Artificial Reality Interface Mechanism.

.... Artificial reality...

Put simply, I am a machine. A organically based and operated machine, built for the purpose of existing between reality and artificial reality. I can phase in and out at will. Originally built as an 'accessory' if you will for people to interact with various forms of Virtual Reality interfaces.

... Like a cheat code for high priced trust fund kids with access to 'big boy' video games?

... That's a glib interpretation, not exactly incorrect... but glib.

So... why are you HERE if you were basically created for daddy's little girls and their fun little make believe weddings in 3D cyber-space?

Well, that was originally one of the main reasons we A.R.I.M's were created... but it was soon realized we had far greater potential than mere accessories for games.

Hm.. ?

Lilith tilts her head in curiosity. The sounds of Katja struggling and trying to climb up to a standing position draw Lilith's attention. She turns back to view a look of horror slapping itself upon her mini assistant's face. She turns around sharply to view the odd little black and white bunny.

... The hell-

The odd, little black and white bunny, was currently glowing. More to the aspect of it's ritualistic jet black markings being set 'ablaze' of a ghastly almost neon blue hue of lighting. The bunny closes it's eyes momentarily before-

Vanishing.

..... Where did it go...

Mmn.... Ffnmh..

Both Lilith and Katja were stunned, confused, and blinking rapidly. Lilith runs over to Katja's side, quickly untying her and popping the rolled up sock-ball out of her small cute little mouth. Oh that is a cute mouth. Lilith stares for a moment at the small peach like lips of her assistant before being promptly hit by her.

Hey! What's wrong with-

Pervert.

.. What?! I let you go and you call me a pervert?

Don't look at me with those eyes. I'm not some conquest waiting to be felled in your sheets like a side quest in a M.M.O.

... God you really have no respect for me whatsoever do you? Why the hell are you my assi-... ahh...

... Lilith?

... Ah... Nn.... NNNAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!

!! LILITH! What's wrong?!

Lilith's body promptly drops down. She barely manages to brace herself with her palms. A cold sweat begins to appear on her brow. Katja unaware of what was going on is rendered helpless as Lilith's cries of agony continue. Her eyes were darting rapidly around, trying to locate the source of her pain. But to Lilith, it was all too clear what was hurting.

Her insignia.

Her seal, more precisely. The infamous 'tattoo' on her right arm. Was in all actuality, a marking, a seal. It had been placed on her for the sole purpose of keeping her DNA stable during the injection and restructuring of the Lilium Strain Virus. She had herself found it odd why it was still with her considering the fact the virus had already been removed..

But right now? She was in pain. Massive, massive, pain.

Lilith firmly clutches her right arm, squeezing down hard with her palm. Her eyes slam shut as she tries to calm herself. All for naught. The sensation was burning... yet icy to the touch. She almost felt like her fingers were starting to get frostbitten. Katja meanwhile in her panic to try and help finally stops rummaging around in the kitchen cabinets for... well, anything really. And finally, asks the question;

... Hey... where's the rabbit?

... !!

Lilith's eyes fly open. She scrambles up off of her knelt position, still clutching her right arm intensely her eyes scan the room. That's right... it had vanished. Where the hell did it go? Before either her or Katja can even venture a guess, the silence gets cut in half. By two penetrating sounds. And one..

One is Lilith's blood curdling screams.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRHHHHH!!! WHAT THE FUCKK IISSS--AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Lilith is brought to her knees instantly. The sweat pouring off of her face, and blood, pouring through the tightly squeezed fingers of her left hand clamped down against her right arm. Her eyes dart towards the droplets of blood slowly gathering steam, more and more seems to slip through her fingers. Katja in a blind panic and fear, runs into the bathroom in order to try and find the medical supplies in the mirror cabinet. Lilith can hear her own groans and muffled breathing, along with Katja in the bathroom rummaging...

... And the voice.

Sorry. This usually is quite painful. I'm almost finished.

That damned bunny's voice. She could hear him talking to her, she just wasn't sure if it was in her head. In reality, or some pain induced hallucination. She grinds her teeth with force, hissing out and huffing in pain as she begins dragging herself across the floor, through the small puddle of her own blood. Inch by inch.

.... Wwh... what... are... youdoing... to me...

I'm rescinding your number.

... Wh... at?

Lilith's mind was too focused on the seriously painful amount of surging going through her right appendage. She had no idea what was going on. But whatever it was, it was somehow being caused by that little fluffy bastard. Her eyes continue to squeeze themselves tighter and tighter.. she can hear the shouts and footsteps of Katja... they almost seem far away now... Lilith's body begins to loss it's rigidty... her crawling slowly begins to fade.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ The Following Morning.

Hey! She's been out for over six hours! You told me she'd be okay! I swear to God I'll skin you alive and use your hide for weird-as-fuck rabbit jerky if she dies! She's my boss, I'm shit out of luck if she goes under!

....Your concern moves me Katja...

!! Lilith! You're okay... thank God-

... What the fuck happened.

Lilith tries to move. This proves to be a bad idea. A sharp pain shoots through her body. She falls back to her prone position, laying in the couch of their hotel room. She squints her eyes at the brightness of the Sun shining through the living room curtains. A groan leaves her as she turns her head even in the slightest, her gaze laying on that fluffy bastard bunny.

... Give me a reason why I shouldn't go along with chibi's plan of making jerky out of you 'Doc. Cause right now... it's seeming like a good idea-

Oh. You heard that? Heeeeeeey... you know I was kidding righ-

Shut up Katja.

'Kay.

Compliance. Something she'd never gotten out of the mini Russian 'princess'. Then again she'd barely known her what... 34 hours. She finally manages the strength to sit up, leaning her weight on the backing of the couch. She notices a large white bandage wrapped haphazardly around her right arm. Must have been Katja. She kind of stifles a smile before noticing something below the wrapping.

... !!

- As I said last night. I rescinded your number. A.R.I.M's were originally created to interact with various forms of 'Reality'. It was soon discovered, that all things in actuality, have their own 'Reality'.

... What?

What do you mean?

That couch you're laying on. It has it's own 'Reality'.

What, some sort of weird alternate universe in which couches rule supreme?

.... Really?.. First the desu and now a couch universe?...

What? As if that question can be labeled 'weird' after everything we've seen in the last eight hours.

... Touche'.

No, not quite that... how do I explain it. Everything has a 'Sovereignty' to it. A child is 'Governed' over by their Parents. Parents in turn are 'Governed' over by Society in general in terms of social cues, and Society is 'Governed' over by the Government itself. This is usually the chain of humans. Humans themselves 'Govern' over lesser Mammals. In turn they look to higher beings, things outside of themselves to look up to.

... Like God.

Yes, exactly.

Wait, what?

... That's a bit of a sick joke there 'Doc.

.. What? What is he talking about?

All living things have a 'Sovereignty'. This acts as the chain of ruling between their own existence, and the existence of things above them in that chain, that ladder if you will. Each existence has it's own 'Reality'.

... I'm sorry, you lost me-

He's saying...

Yes, please just explain it in English. I thought this country was founded on it -

... He's saying....

Lilith hangs her head, her eyes closing slowly. Her head shaking. She knew some of it was true. Her days as the C.E.O. of Bloodworks Inc. had told her as much. It was just something she really tried her best to avoid as acknowledging as actual fact. Even if her insane as fuck step-sister Cammy had been preaching it since she met the bitch. Lilith slowly begins tearing at the wrapping around her right arm, her eyes slinking over and fixing themselves on the seal. She knew it... it was different. The shape had been forcibly changed, the design had grown larger and evolved. Against it's own 'will'.

... Fuck..

What? What?! Would SOMEONE explain this shit-

I'm telling you how a God is born.

.....

Wait.., what?!

... Each existence seeks out one higher than themselves in order to be governed over... because each existence can't simply exist and be at the echelon alone forever...

... You're still confusing the hell out of me, what does he mean how Gods are 'born'?

You aren't as bright as you look Miss.

SHUTTUP YOU FURRY LITTLE PRICK! I may not be a God but I'm sure as fuck above YOU on the food chain! Don't make me PROVE IT!

Exactly. You ARE above me on the food chain. And thus you have the power to 'Govern' over my fate do you not? Like you just said, you can 'prove it'. You have the ability, the might - the power if you will to kill me because you're considered a higher being yes?

... Well, yeah of course humans are above rabbits on the food chain, I mean look at us and look at you-

Do you know why you are above animals on the food chain, Miss?

Huh? That's obvious isn't it, it's cause we're stronger and bigg-

No. There are many singular mammals who out rank humans in terms of strength and size, in some cases you can even argue certain ones can evolve their intelligence past that of your species.

Wait-

If this is true, then why do you humans rank above all else on the food chain?

... Well that leaves the obvious answer of us having a larger population, a scientific community and militaristic advantages that animals don't-

You are above us, because we wished it so.

......

... What? What the hell are you yapping about. That makes no sense at all-

Have you not been listening to anything I have said? Each existence seeks out one higher than themselves, for a form of the upper pinnacle of life is not something any mortal creature can obtain and withhold forever. Humans find jobs, find families and social circles. All with their own graces and cues to indicate how one should act or behave, because the laws of something even as trivial as social encounters all have 'Sovereignty' to them. Dinosaurs could not retain their reign for all of time. It was deemed they needed to have 'Sovereignty'. Stronger, faster, more intelligent beings were put into place. Into motion-

Wait wait, you're just talking about evolution now.

.....

Yes, exactly. Now you understand.

... Wait you're saying that this sovereignty thing and that each thing has it's own reality have something to do with evolution?

... No, that's not what he's saying....

It's not?

No. Miss Creighton is quite right. The 'Sovereignty' and 'Reality' of all things, do not have 'something' to do with Evolution.

Okay then you need to sit me down and give me a crash course pre-school style here fuzzy cause it's four in the morning I've got about forty five minutes sleep in the last two days and my mind is running on empty for weirdness shit-

As I said, it does not have 'something' to do with Evolution. I'm saying, that it IS, 'Evolution'.[/font]
