She'd felt the release of the next primordial before she'd known. It wasn't like the tremor but it certainly was similar. Only this one didn't really leave her feeling paranoid, Auset could feel like that all on her own damn self. No, this one left her feeling a little confused. Sin and Tobias didn't tell her jack shit. She wished they'd communicate a little more with the lowers, especially Tobias - who could honestly be a bit of a prick sometimes.
But she was eager to meet whoever it was. Surely if they purposely let out a primordial it'd be a new attendee right? She assumed at least. She sat on the edge of the pool, staring down into the water with her jeans rolled up to her knees and her feet wading through the gentle waves.
Lin was of course free to roam these "Defacto" halls and rooms or whatever even though she didn't fulling understand what the word meant or what it was intended for. She'd been very curious as to what had changed without her in the world and had surprisingly stared at a weird light source with no fire for a few minutes. Where in the world was the light coming from from within this glass container? Other people probably thought she was stupid for not knowing but hey, the last time she'd even interacted with the world was back in the Trojan war and as Sin had explained to her, that was over.Wandering throughout the halls and still staring at the weird lights, Lin was surprised to come up to a huge pool of water. She didn't have anything on that seemed proper for jumping into a pool of water but from her standards, swim gear wasn't a thing yet. Slowly making her way into the water, she just grinned as her entire bottom half of her body was submerged in the liquid. Sighing in happiness and calmness all in one breath, she wadded through the water slowly, surprisingly careful not to splash anything anywhere.
Mod
The sounds that Lin made in the water drew Auset's gaze towards her, expression speculative and suspicious as she slowly stood and approached. "You ain't got no towel do you?" she folded her arms, "You're gonna get water everywhere" she added.
She hadn't seen the girl around before. She didn't even consider that she could possibly be talking to an actual primordial.
Looking up at the girl, Lin just continued to wade in the water. No she wasn’t ignoring the girl, neither was she interested in doing so. This was the first sparked she’d met ever since her release and she was interested in how they acted. Shaking her head, she just chuckled. “Nope! Is there a problem with water getting everywhere in here and messing everything up? I apologize but I didn’t seem to see any rules around here, do you?”
Mod
Lin floated on her back, placing her arms behind her head in relaxation. It wasn't a wonder that she'd ask Lin for her name and of course she was expecting so. It seemed everyone you meet asked for your name. But this was the first person she'd meet after- oh she should stop thinking about that. "Lin, and you?" She responded, turning her head to look at the woman.
Mod
"... Auset" she replied, her expression softening at the girl.
"Auset?" Lin said curiously, turning onto her stomach. Strangely, she seemed to float on top of the water with little to no effort. Something Lin seemed to learn to do long ago. "What a nice name to be completely honest with you. What. . . might you do here in this place?" Curious like she always was with everything, Lin tried very hard to put a more serious tone into her voice. Completely failing and knowing it might cause something to occur, she just put a questionable look onto her face.
Mod
Lin sorta tensed at the deep breath but soon calmed herself when she started talking. Chuckling at the last part, the female proceeded to answer Auset truthfully. "Me? Oh well gally, I just got here! You're the first person I've talked to in a long time, other than Sin but he's just eh, if you know what I mean." Giving a slight wink, she moved herself to stand on the bottom of the pool instead of floating atop of it.
Mod
"Oh," Lin hummed, trailing after her response as well. Maybe she'd never meet Sin? Or maybe, they weren't allowed to see him? Who knew. Certainly not Lin. But that wasn't the issue, what seemed more intriguing was the fact that Auset didn't seem to understand things Lin said. Was it pure luck? Probably not being the only things she clearly knew was this was her home now. Might as well get used to it. "That's a shame. Wish you understood. I'd make things alot funnier."
Mod
"What am I?" Lin asked back, noticing Auset stare at her longer than normal. "I am what you might call the personality of a creature, something that defines themselves in a more common matter. It's not that hard to understand if you're willing to put in the effort. But just to makes things a bit easier for you I'll narrow it down." Clearing her throat, Lin quickly just spit it out. "Chaos Neutral. Now the real question is, what are you?"
Mod
Lin grinned, licking her lips. "That's what I was made for and the last time I checked, being a primordial doesn't mean I have to be a know it all. It's good to ask questions every now and again. I thought gorgons were supposed to know that," she kicked back, the grin going sour. If this woman was about to give her some attitude, she'd give it right back to her.
Mod
Lin held her grin, it continuing to get wider and more dangerous looking with every second that passes by. Even then Lin realized this, she was going to have an amazing time with this Auset. "Hmm, I don't like you either," she stated, poking her wet finger onto the gorgon's nose with an even wider smile coming in. They've just meet and Lin's already having an amazing time making new non deceased friends.
Mod
Even after Auset backed away, Lin kept the finger in place as she still continued on smiling. "Caposh," she replied, making up a word that seemed all silly and stupid all at once. "But I don't see you having a bubble around you. What might a bubble be again? Sorry I guess my thousand years old brain doesn't seem to remember. Maybe a youngin like yourself might be able to help me out, ey?"
Mod
Lin just listened into what Auset had to say. It was quite useful to be honest but once she stated the last fact the primordial’s face went sour. “Pop me? My my, you have a temper like my own. I might actually come to like you one day, Auset the one who kills those who deserve it.” Fluttering her eyelids, Lin just started to dry out her hair by twisting the long locks and squeezing to try to get most of the water out. “You know what Auset? I think a gorgon like yourself seems to know when a fights coming ey?” Leaning a little closer to the woman, Lin’s voice dropped to a whisper. “Don’t start nothing we don’t want, capisce?”
Mod
Lin just nodded silently, pulling herself away from Auset and sitting on the ledge of the pool near here. At least the dust had settled. Well for now. She wasn’t surprised by the question coming out but she was indeed curious as to why the question came out at that time. “Well I don’t now exactly for how long but I will tell you this. The last thing I remember before the darkness and chains was this, the Trojan War.”
Mod
Lin just laughed, happy that someone was actually curious about where the hell she’d been for the past eons. It genuinely surprised her that someone was interested in that information. Hoping to give Auset a clear vision of her home for the last centuries, Lin tried her best to explain it. “Well no, there literally wasn’t anything there. Just walls of stone and nah I wouldn’t care for a snack bar or whatever. I did though miss having water. Ever had your throat feel like a desert for years and years?” Lin chuckled again, swaying her feet through the water creating small whirlpools.
Mod
Lin nodded slowly her eyes fixed on the water below her. Hearing the sound of something very strange, she looked up at the thing Auset seemed to be opening. "What, is that? It's so loud," she complained, shivering slightly by the continuous sound of the material scrapping against itself. It was so annoying, what kind of thing would make a sound like that?
Mod
Lin stared at the piece of the “food bar” and took it into her hands to stare at it closer. “Yes I know what cookies are I’m not that old,” she joked, glancing at it as she thought of what to do. “So. . . you just eat it? No dipping or cooking or drying out? Nothing?”
Mod
“Okay whatever,” Lin stated, popping the tiny piece into her mouth. As all food does, when she bit into it the taste of the cookies and cream filled her mouth and her eyebrows perked up in interest. “These, mhmm, are very good. So you just fit this amazing thing into that tiny bag, take it with you and eat it?” She laird back onto the floor, reaching her hands up to the sky. “It’s revolutionary!”

Lin just looked over at Auset, her face a mess of confusion. “Rocket science? Oh well I better not ask or I might get a fist to the face for being annoying.” Sighing, she lifted a hand to her head and grinned. “I’ll ask all the questions later and I mean all the questions. I’d like to know more about this whole “rocket science” or whatever the fuck it’s called.”
Mod
Nodding with Auset because she knew she was telling the truth, Lin just looked over at her yet again to notice her take something out and pat a spot next to her and order “come here”. Thinking about the order for a moment, Lin remembered how much she’d missed and stood up to wade over to her and take the offered seat. “Well,” she clearly stated, not taking a second glance at the object the gorgon was holding, even when it seemed to have the glow of all of little light sources everywhere.
Mod
"So, it'll tell you anything?" Lin asked, looking down at the phone curiously. "That seems quite powerful for it to fit in that tiny thing. What else can it do? Tell time?" Reaching to touch it, Lin pulled her hand back quickly when Auset stated not to get it wet. Things can break while getting wet? she thought, tucking her hand into a pocket of her wet pants. Weird. "Oh! Can it state your name?"
Mod
Lin face went red, mostly from embarrassment but some from that fact that Auset was actually trying to teach her something. It was an old saying that popped into her head and made her grin: "You can teach an old dog new tricks." Turning to look back down at the phone, Lin's face started to calm a bit down color wise right before Auset turned something on and told her to ask it a question. Thinking about it very briefly, she made her decision and spoke. "What day is it today?" She asked, glancing up towards Auset with a questionable look on her face.
Mod
Hearing the voice creeped her out at first but once it told her the date it seemed pretty clear to her that it was made to do that. Made to speak and never make its own decisions. That seemed to trouble Lin as she tapped the phone, her hands now all dry but her clothing couldn't say the same just yet. "Where is the voice coming from? Is there a tiny human stuck inside with a weird voice coming though," she asked, clearly and unknowingly stupidly talking about something so simple. Hearing Auset tell her to ask it something else, Lin just spoke her "funniest thing" she could come up with. "Ask me a question."

"Arta?- never mind." Lin stated with a chuckle, knowing she had a shit ton of things to learn. Other than that word, she seemed to understand what the thing was made for though, making this encounter a bit easier for the old dog to understand. "Umm, fine actually," she answered back, a cheesy smile passing over her face. Waiting awhile for google to respond but it never doing so, Lin looked back up at Auset. "Another one?"
Mod
Lin waited for Auset to press the button once more wondering what kind of question she would ask. The gorgon had said something about how it would answer questions about things that the person asking about would ask and that's exactly what Lin needed right now. Taking a deep breath and waiting until a second after the button had been pressed again, Lin spoke her thoughts. "What happened in the last hundred years?" Holding her breath afterwards, she waited for the thing to think.
Mod
Lin let Auset lay the phone in her hands, listening to the woman talking to hear all about the things she'd missed. After it was finished, she just set the phone down on the floor and sighed. That's what I've missed?! She thought, slamming a fist into the floor. And that was only one year. One year. Pulling her legs up out of the water, she wrapped her arms around them and pulled her legs up to her chest. "Thank you. . . for that."
