"We need to talk." I said to get there attention, but they kept eating while looking off into the fire cooking another pair of legs.
"Hello, I know you can hear me." I said as they were eating. They had new burses on their head and some dried blood along the side.
"Food... now." Blood Stalk said while eating And I just have to stare at this since I can't really do anything else. I mean I can, but nothing that would matter much beside talk.
"How much food do you need?" I said as we went through like three hole giant crab claws and they are still going.
"One... more." Blood Stalk said as they just did another clean break and they eat the steaming crab meat.
"Ok, now we can talk." I said as they turned to me seemingly waiting.
"So, what do we do now?" I ask as I want make a plan of what to do going forward.
"Eat... and sleep..." Blood Stalk said as if that was obviously the next thing to do not looking at me while they talked. Looking closely they had bags under their eyes like they haven't slept in days.
"A little later, after we talk." I replied back and trying to continue my train of thought.
"I was thinking more along the lines of getting to know each other first and maybe try and figure out some stuff." I said trying to get them interested in talking.
"I... know you. And... you know me." Blood Stalk said still looking into the fire, it reflecting of there purple almost void like eyes. The flame dancing along the wood a bright orange and yellow with a hint of blue and green color appearing every now and then.
I realize that this approach is getting nowhere again. I try and think about how to get there interest.
"I, want to talk about the powers we use." As soon as I said this there eyes turned to looked at me as if I had there full undivided attention, almost fixation.
"Yes..." They said wanting to hear more. It almost freaked me out, how quick a 180 turn this conversation took.
"Where did you get those bottles?" I question them about where they got it from and hopefully talk about what happened while I was unconscious.
I need to know what happened and this person is the only one I can question.
We have only met today and I don't know much about them, but I do know we are in this situation together. I want to work together to make the best of a bad situation.
"They... appear in my hand." Blood Stalk said and I want to scream already.
"I know, I mean how do these things get into your/our hands." I ask wanting to see how much they know.
"When... I reach for something... I get it." They said making a garbing motion and I give up.
I think I just have to figure this part on my own.
"Ok, what will we be doing after eating and sleeping." I said very carefully worded.
"I... will hunt monsters." Blood Stalk said with the fires light making changing shapes of us both on the wall.
"But there is only one monster left, you said so." I said in confusion.
"There... is a place... where monsters are born." Blood Stalk which surprised me.
"I... want to go there." Blood Stalk said as the shapes started to form the shapes of a horned helmet and a ghostly body with string like hair a mess sitting across from each other.
I think that there was some more meaning behind their words as they looked at me.
"I see." was all I could respond with at this look they gave me. One that I think held determination and another emotion I couldn't figure out.
They then said something I didn't prepare for.
"What... about you."
Hi, I am so tired. Hope people enjoy the charecter dynamics.
I have so many ideas down the line, why do I have to do so much set up for it.
I want to skip to the good parts so bad, but it won't be good story if I do that.
Thanks for reading.

"What... about you." Blood Stalk asked which I wasn't prepared for since they never really took the initiative to talk to me like this.
"What about me?" I replied to get some more specifics about the question.
"What... do you want?" Blood Stalk asked and I freeze at the question.
"What do I want?" I ask myself not really knowing what to say. So much has happened and a lot of questions are still running through my head.
"I want to go home and tell my family that I am alright, I guess." I answer the first thing that came to mind when I hear those words. I also want to make sure my brother is ok, but I didn't say it out loud since that . I bet he'd turn it into some kind
When I said that they had turned there head to look into the fire as if to think for a moment before returning their gaze on me. Their face still expressionless like they didn't care about anything. Their dark purple eyes drew most of my attention.
"What... are you?" Blood Stalk asked a different question which made me scared to think about the implications of.
"I don't know. I mean, I have a guess but I am not sure." I replied back nervously since I have been putting it off so I didn't think about what I am now. I didn't want to except what I currently am. I guess I'm also pretty bad at answering questions too.
"What... are our powers?" Blood Stalk questioned me to change the subject which I actually gladly excepted since I new the answer to this one.
"I know this! Our powers are based off of a T.V drama called Kamen Rider Build, we seem to have the power of the series main villain in his first appearance called Blood Stalk or Blood Stark in some translations." I said in excitement in talking about one of my favorite shows since there aren't a lot of people to talk about this where I grew up.
I could only talk to my brother about them and some conversations got old since we shared the same opinions on most of them, except a few.
I was talking and going off on the story and characters, along with the world building and performances in the show. But then, I noticed Blood Stalk looked really confused as I was talking and I think I misinterpreted what there question was.
"Sorry, I got carried away." I said in an awkward tone.
"You meant our abilities that we can use, like the bottles." I said which got me a slow nod.
"Well, for the bottles we can use multiple different kinds which all have a concept engraved in them that we can use." I said and this time Blood Stalk followed along listening to every word.
"There are two main types, organic and inorganic. Organic bottles are concepts of living things animals like lions and even professions like pirates count." I said and they followed up until pirates were said and they looked confused once again. It is a lot and I can always reexplain if they ask questions.
"Inorganic bottles are concepts of nonliving things and are much more diverse, simple tech like lights and locks to complicated machines like robots and tanks, they also have materials like diamond." They looked really confused until diamond was said then they started to nod.
"Both organic and inorganic bottles have a best match that unlocks their full potential when they pair with the opposite type like the classic rabbit tank." I continued really getting into it and Blood Stalk seemed focused on our talk once again.
"There are also specials types like the lost bottles which don't have a pair, but are strong by themselves. There should be only ten of this type, five organic and five inorganic." I said finishing the long explanation of the basics for now.
"Any questions? It is a lot at once." I said and expected them to be really confused.
"What... do we have now." Blood Stalk asked.
"Great question, can you take out the bottle we have?" I said back asking them to get out the two we currently have. They placed the two in front of me side by side.
"The two bottles we have in our possession are Cobra and Rocket. Cobra is a organic type and one of the lost bottles which gives us the Blood Stalk suit. The other one is Rocket, which is an inorganic normal bottle." I said while Blood Stalk took out both bottles to look at.
"How... do we get more?" Blood Stalk said in a way which made me think.
"In the show they needed to be made by beating smash monsters and collecting with blank bottles and purifying the gas in them with a complex machine." I answered to the best I could.
"Beat... monsters." Blood Stalk exclaimed, gripping their hands. I don't think they got the full idea of what I said but I'm glad they seemed motivated at least.
I try and change the subject to something fun to keep the conversation going.
"By the way, the fun thing about them is that in the T.V. drama they were made by a persons bias perspective of those concepts such as the UFO bottle being a flying saucer instead of the actual meaning of an unknown flying object, or the cobra bottle having both venom and poison in its attacks despite them being completely different things." I said retiling on about my knowledge of the show.
I kept talking about the show until the fire started to fade and it got really late into the night.
"I...see." Blood Stalk said back to me with a tired voice, as if to end the conversation. which I agreed with. It was a long day and we both have been through a lot
"I... want to sleep." Blood Stalk said and picked up the helmet suddenly and put it on. A blue shimmer flashed in front of my eyes and stayed for a while
"That feels so weird." I said as I move our head around like before.
I can move our right hand like I never lost control in the first place. I still don't feel any sensation in it which unnerves me but their is nothing I can do about it.
I moved some rocks out of the way as we set up a place to sleep in this cave. We don't have the luxury for any blankets or pillows so I hope we don't get cold.
My vision starts to became normal again and we lay down. I could hear a soft beathing as I looked at the celling. One that wasn't mine or could control. I wonder if they are already sound asleep? I'd asked but that would be stupid.

"I can't sleep."
Hi, this is the exposition dump where the characters need to explain the powers to maximise effeciency.
Not everything covered here will be in the entire system but the main thing is for the basic understanding of the bottle and theme.
More will unfoled later and new developments will appear to shake up what they think they know.
Thanks for reading.
