Chapter 41 - The Quest For Arnold

who names their kid Arnold? were they unwanted? did you want a girl? what possessed you to name someone Arnold? I feel bad for the man, I mean, it's so outdated, wait, why am I even peeved by this? it's not like that my... name... wait... whats my- AGH!- hmm? what was I thinking about? eh, must not have been important if I forgot about it, I mean who names their kid Arnold? were they unwanted? did you want a girl? what possessed you to name someone Arnold?

what is its system?

{maybe don't worry about the name sir}

oh, ok, yea your right, it's not worth my time

I look around my cage, how long has it been? ten years? man, that's a long time to be trapped, I remember my first year here, not wanting to comply... and the torture... all I needed to do was make food and batteries for him, it honestly not that bad, it's actually quite cushy for being kidnapped, it's probably the best scenario, luckily he brings me books and lets me touch them, doing that I materialize the books, that's how I made a living once upon a time, I made mint condition retro video games

search is still ongoing but I'm getting some clues, but first I head to the black market go to floor 5 and grab an earring, I've wanted an excuse to get this for so long

{Brain Demons Intallect Enhancer: greatly increase ones intallect}

now that's the good stuff, I use the card the government gave me and but it, the cool thing is it looks cool, that's always a plus, it's a white dot with a red spiral, when does it take effect- Woah, I'm not smarter, I just have a better memory, it probably just summarized 'memorization' as intellect because that's what intellect to us humans is, I guess I need to get a wisdom booster or something

I don't know who my captor is, I never have they always wear a mask, but I noticed something, she getting frantic, I wonder if she is close to getting caught

///

am I right? I'm able to connect dots easier... if I'm right...

///

I recognize her from somewhere, I don't know where exactly, but there's something vaguely familiar, maybe if I figure her out I can bribe her, I know there's a resource crisis, maybe I could help with that?- what's that knocking?

I was, it's one of the officials who I met that day, one of the two women, it seems she was getting worried and grabbed the man for herself, we broke down her door, unfortunately, I lost one of my arms, it grew back, but she froze the wound so it wouldn't repair, so I learned about that vulnerability I have, it's probably the same with burns, but I also noticed that I ignore pain now, at least physical pain, mental pain is still very real, I hate ice powers, my trauma hits hard when I see or come in contact with ice-based powers
