Sitting on a couch in the lobby, Dakota decided to take a break. She didn't care to call the elevator, or god forbid, use the stairs. She was tired enough from the day, it had been inordinarily exhausting, past all the 'usual' factors, 'usual' being her still being new to the whole 'being a girl' thing and 'having lifeforce draining powers' the life force being her own.

At any rate, Dakota just kicks back, and reads a gaming magazine. Dakota might be a bit of an emotional wreck at this point on the inside, but she usually didn't express that side of herself, keeping it under lock and key when Yukiko wasn't around. At any rate, it was from the sheer trauma rather than her body, and other than that, Dakota's personality hadn't changed a bit.

Valentine walked into the lobby, her attention elsewhere. As she walked in, she noticed someone sitting in a seat, her attention now on the person. She walked up behind the person and looked at the book they were reading, gaming seemed to be the topic. Valentine didn't care if she was noticed or not, this kind of stuff adding to her "creepyness" factor. She then drew in a breath as she kept on reading.

Dakota noticed that Valentine was behind her, taking a look at her gaming magazine. Awkward.

"Uh.. hey." she mentioned "Name's Dakota."

Dakota had met Valentine before, but she'd hardly saw her. She was somewhat smart, but she wasn't a genius by any standards.

"I guess if you wanted to borrow it you could." she mentioned. She'd already read the magazine before, she was just reading it again.

It was a rare site to see Alexis walking around without her trusty yet over sized bag slung over her shoulder. It was even rarer to see the tall blonde without her smiling, almost carefree face. The same face that lit when when a new opportunity to meet a new student, or discover a new aspect of life in Hyakuji presented itself. That same face now fighting off the pulls of sleep, and exhaustion. It seems that staying up the last two nights doing non stop studying, and only a limited chance to sleep had proven unwise. Her body reflected that poor choice as she pulled her slumping body into the Yuki house lobby, where she discovered to two other students talking to each other.


She stops, and looks over for a bit.

Valentine took her eyes off of the book and onto the girl, noticing her from the time when she had examined her a bit, "Well Dakota," she said, "I don't plan on borrowing the book. I have no interest in 'video games'". She moved around to the front of the couch and sat down next to her, "I believe I did a light profile of you before," she says as she sits down, Valentine checking Dakota out, "So what is a human like you doing in a school like this? Do you also have some kind of 'special' power like the rest of the students here? Or are you just some lost human who can't find their way?" Valentine brought on a bit of personal questions, Vales objectives now being to see the personal lives of humans.

Valentine didn't care about recording information anymore, well not as much. Valentine continues to eye Dakotas figure, making mental notes as she passes over her with her eyes, "Do you like crepes?" she randomly asked, "Actually, nevermind about that last one."

Hayden blinks twice "Lives of humans?" she thought "So she's not... Well, I guess appearances can be deceiving."

"Well." Dakota started "I'm here because I'm kinda in a very unlikely position, and I was kinda outta good options. I'd rather not go into detail on that, sorta gets into personal information. And yes, I do have powers. I get manipulation over darkness. Problem is, it seems that I have to sacrifice some of my short term physical well being each time I cast it, since it converts life force into darkness."

She takes a breath "But the thing is, you're wanting to know what human life is like? Well, it'd be easier for me to tell you what you want to know if you tell me what you are. After all, if you're an elf in disguise, you're probably going to want different information than a space alien." She didn't know that Valentine was, in fact, a space alien, she was just giving an example.

She inhales "And why did you ask me about crapes? That one kinda came outta left field, so to speak." she shrugged.

Valentine sits there, watching Dakota as she explains hr situation, "Manipulation over Darkness? How does that work? Do you use a device or something?" She asked as she turned her body a bit towards her. Valentine sat a bit relaxed, her back to the couches arm. Dakota then tells her to just ask he what she wants to know, calling her an elf.

"I don't know what an elf is but that's not what I am. By the English language, I'm an alien, I guess," Valentine says flat out, "And your species has become somewhat of an interesting research topic." Valentine looked over her body once more before asking her another question, "Do humans do any sort of body modifications? Such as enhancing intelligence or stimulating growth hormones?"

"And as for the crepes, don't worry about it. It's nothing important."

Seemed that Valentine wanted an explanation on her powers "Well, it's really hard to explain. I'm really not sure of the mechanics of it actually. It seems to be more intuitive and experience based to me. Even if it wasn't, it'd be hard for me to put any research into it, given that my powers uses my life force as fuel, which makes it both hard for me to control well since it causes pain."

Dakota's situation wasn't so much body modification as outright body transfer.

"As for body modification, there are some. Mostly medical surgeries if the body can't naturally heal damage from something. Vain people will sometimes get what's called 'plastic surgery' to improve their appearance, aesthetically speaking. There are some hormone therapies, though it's more outright injection of artificially produced hormones into a person's bloodstream that stimulation." she mentions "At any rate, body modification is typically seen as a risky venture to undergo."

Valentine began to think about Dakotas powers, the powers not being manipulated using technology, "So, you don't use any kind of technology or anything? That's odd." She as she looked forward as she thought. She began tho think even more, "There's no way that beings can use some sort of power without technology," she thought. She looked back to her as she explained surgeries and growth hormones.

"I see," she says as she rubs her chin a bit, "What about cloning and genetic engineering?" She looks to her, one arm resting on the arm rest while the other is on the back of the couch. She looked at the table in front of them, Valentine picking up one of the magazines from the table and setting it on her lap. She opens it with one hand to exam its contents, "Because cloning and genetic engineering is a very useful field," she adds as she looks through the magazine.

"No technology. Granted, if there was some techno belt or something out there that could suppress the pain associated with the use of my powers, I'd try to get ahold of it."
she mentioned.

Then the alien girl got into the subject of cloning. Dakota wasn't a clone, she was closer to simply being an artificial human. And even that wasn't entirely true, as it was only her body that was artificial, her mind and soul had been 'naturally produced'.

"Cloning. Yes... and no. There are ethical concerns, and anything cloned doesn't last too long. Most complicated thing we've cloned is a sheep I believe." she mentioned "Most people aren't versed in alchemy... or it. However... I've been made aware it's possible to at least make a human body with superpowers using it."

She continues.

"As for genetic engineering, we've got a decent grasp of that, or at least a rudimentary one. On people, there is gene therapy to treat certain genetic flaw, though it's most often used in plants and animals so they'll naturally create certain enzymes or proteins that can be extracted." she explained.

Valentine continued to think about what Dakota was saying, thinking of how humans could posses powers without technology. Dakota the gives Valentine some information about cloning, "You know cloning can help a lot of people," she says to her, "It helps my people out." She throws the magazine onto the table and turns to her once again, "I think I may know a way so people can have power. It just struck me as I mentioned genetic engineering. This could win me another award back home," She said as she thought about possibilties.

"What if I took the DNA of someone with powers and put them into a developing embryo." She thinks for a moment again, "Of course I'd have to find the gene that causes the power and then I have to run some tests." She stands up and turns to look at her, "I think this meeting proved very successful if I do say so myself."

"That makes sense to me I guess." Dakota shrugged "Of course, you'd also have to take a look at the side effects. Plus what happens if someone loses control. If you've got someone with pyromancy, they'd want to stay out of a room with explosive and flammable stuff."

Dakota sighed.

"Also, some powers have cost to use. For example, I take a quick-healing injury each time I use my powers, for example. If I ever lost complete and utter-control, then someone could get seriously hurt." she mentioned.

She thought for another moment.

"Also, if you're wanting more knowledge on magic and stuff, why don't you find someone who knows more than me? I'm kinda a novice with my powers, so that's all I've been able to figure out." she mentioned.

"True," she said agreeing with Dakota about not being able to control their power, "But what if a device was also inserted inside the subject, an on and off switch to be exact, to make sure they do not move out of control." She said as she looked to her, her face and tone emotionless like always.

"You wouldn't happen to know anyone regarding magic knowledge?" She asked as she thought for a second, "Or point me in the right direction?"

"Well, I think Hiro would be a good choice. He does teach supernatural studies." she mentions "Damon Ark also might be a good choice. He's one of the instructors at the Elemancer Club. There's a difference between magic and elemancy. My power is supposed to be something of a hybrid."

"I believe I have Hiro as a homeroom teacher for the school." she says as she remembers, "Though I don't think that would be the best time to talk to him about that. I'll have to find time for it. As for this Damon person, I haven't heard of the name before so I'll look into it." She turns and faces away from her, "I think I'll take my leave for now," she says as she walks away, "I'm glad we had this little conversation."

Valentine walked out of the lobby and over to the elevator that lead to the ascending floors, calling an elevator and stepping. She was gone for now.
