Wanre lets out a rumbling growl as he stalks in from the demarcation point, ears swivling around to catch any sound other than the roachsters on patrol.
Jordan perks up a little bit from her half dozing state as the large beast drags into the area. Her hand trembles a bit as she hesitates to grab an arrow but resists and continues to sit still, crouching behind a small rock off in the distance.
Wanre pauses under a tree where he makes another sweep of the lands. Spotting nothing, he snorts loudly, and seems to snarl something at himself as he turns and heads down for the demarcation point once more.
Jordan stands up slowly amd cautiously as she finally grabs the bow from behind her back and starts towards the demaracation point, taking a defensive pose as she does so, trying to avoid confrontation by both the roachsters and Wanre.

...

Jordan sneaks in cautiously and presses herself up against the wall, trying to effectively hide herself against the darkness of the path. She stops dead in her tracks as she spots Wanre and watches him closely from a distance. Brushing up against the wall, a few loose pebbles fall to the ground behind her.
Wanre slides down the wall of one of the towers, his clawed hands gripping his head tightly. "Rrrrrrrgggg. Shut up shut up shut up!" he snarls, letting out a roar of frustration.
Jordan mumbles something darkly to herself as she notices the noise she caused but soon gets her attention grabbed by Wanre's yelling as she darts her vision over in his direction, firmly aiming at him as well. She inadvertently pulls herself out of hiding as she trots slowly in his direction, still keeping her distance.
Wanre abruptly snaps his head up and looks around the area. He immediately jumps to his feet when he sees Jordan, and his glaive materializes in his hand. "What're you doing here?" he demands loudly, snarling. Obviously wasn't in a good mood.
Jordan huffs loudly and drops her bow almost hesitantly as she shrugs her shoulders. "Can't a girl take a little walk around here? Not like I'm harming anything." she snaps. "Besides, I haven't seen you around in a while. I was worried you got lost somewhere." she smirks, an almost joking tone bein heard in her voice.
If anything her joking tone seems to make him even more angry. "What should it matter to you if I disappear?" he growls, "My master's the one keeping you damned apes in this cyberspace."
Jordan shakes her head a little bit as she raises a hand to her forehead and taps it a few times with her index finger. "Still got a nasty case of short term memory, huh? Or at least a case of the blinders." she pauses and stands back a few feet from him. "You realise that even you are in trouble right now with what's recently going on?"
"Of course I know," Wanre all but spats as he takes a few steps foreward with the blades of his glaive held parallel to the ground. "What's your point?"
Jordan lets out a bit of a snort at his tone, watching the glaive carefully out the corner of her eye. "And you're just willing to stand aside and watch yourself get deleted in the process?" she lets out a bit of a laugh as she raises her voice a good deal to get her point across. "ALL in the name of his greatness, XANA!..." she then lowers her voice again. "Is that it?"
Wanre snarls, "I am a program, and he is my creator." For a few seconds his rumblings quiet down, to leave the place oddly silent. After a bit the top blade of his glaive rests against the ground and he says in a voice that sounds even more raspy than normal, "I have no choice, even when my home is be destroyed and I along with it."
Jordan tilts her head a little to the side and frowns just slightly, making the expression pretty much unoticable otherwise. "But even with his orders, you do your own thing when he doesn't direct you, right? Why haven't you tried to do anything to save this place and yourself instead of letting it rot like it has been?" she insists, an almost pleading, concerned tone coming across such that she sounds a little out of character.
Wanre jerks his head up a bit and snorts at her. "You already answered your own question."
Jordan sits up straight and stares at him in an odd manner. "Answered how? You claim to be this logical being, but you hardly make any sense half the time." she insists, placing a single palm loosely on her hip.
"But even with his orders, you do your own thing when he doesn't direct you, right?" he responds in an exact imitation of her voice before switching back to his normal gravelly tone. "Obviously you're too emotional or stupid to follow the logical conclusions."
Jordan huffs loudly and shifts her position a bit. "What do you think is gonna happen when all this disappears? No more of us 'apes' to push around. We'll all be gone permanently. Including your precious yumi and the rest of your crew. You'd be all that's left and even then you'd be dead and can't do anything. You'd really have no use or purpose at that point!" she raises her voice towards the end. "You really need to learn that there are other things than strictly following your programming."
"Do you even listen to yourself talk or THINK before opening that mouth of your's?" Wanre growls, "Or does everything just tumble out like an avalanche? I KNOW. I KNOW the consequences. And I CAN'T do anything because I'M A FUCKING PROGRAM." The last part comes out in a roar and  he darts at her, glaive raised high to slash at her.
Jordan tries to quickly respond just before he hits her. "A program is not completely restricted like you seem to think you are! You-" he then slices her a good deal and she drops to her knees. "God damnit!" she then raises her bow from her kneeled position and aims it at him, trembling a bit in pain.
Jordan quickly lets an arrow fly in his direction, but it narrowly misses from her shaky grip.
Wanre lets loose another roar and slashes at her once more doing serious damage. Before he could land a serious blow though, his arms freeze up and he drops to his knees, dry retching.
Jordan lets out a loud groan as he impales her and opens her mouth to say something, but passes out immediately from the pain alone and flops to the ground.
Wanre turns his head away and crawls off to the side away from Jordan's prone body, still dry heaving viciously for a couple more seconds before he collapses, claws digging into the ground. "Fuck you, stupid ape," he says with a painful moan, clutching his head.
Wanre stands up after a while on shakey legs and makes his glaive devirtualize. He looks down at Jordan's corpse and snarls quietly to himself before looting it and heading away.
Stumbled upon this truncated log of a semi-ancient roleplay from the LyokoMUSH2 days. Was purely by accident actually. Sadly my lovely logging skills (and probably backup skills as well) haven't helped much with these things. Probably half of the good RP logs have disappeared from those days if I actually went through and tried to inventory them all. :/

Anyways, this is one of the more heated exchanges of the day between of Jordan and Wanre. Jordan being a virtualized human in what was the overhauled Lyoko built to sustain life over extended periods. And Wanre being an AI underling of XANA who had taken on some parts of Earth!Wanre's personality whom was previously Jordan's 'boyfriend' (if you could call it that) on Earth before he disappeared into thin air. Needless to say, drama seems to stick to these guys like glue. :P

According to the datestamp, this was done around....Dec 30th, 2007
