[Private-Invite Only] Final Arrival.

Strolling through the courtyard, Maestus found herself with nothing to do. Again.  It's not like she didn't expect this, either.  Most of the people that she was able to tolerate or even befriend were nowhere to be seen, and she wasn't given any work to do or Grimm to hunt either, so she was stuck doing nothing but wander aimlessly about the grounds.  As she strolled about the courtyard, she spotted something that might actually be able to occupy her for some time.  It was... somebody.  She wasn't sure who they were or what they were doing here, seeing how they weren't wearing the uniform that most students had.  Then again, Maestus is physically incapable of wearing the school uniform, and the stranger did come out of the school dorms.  Deciding that the only way to figure out what this person's deal was would be to go up and meet them.  Standing around wouldn't get her anywhere.

She made her way over to this new person and, although it wasn't intentional, her feed made no sound with each step.  It wasn't that she was trying to sneak up on this person, but the way she was built prevents her from making too much noise unless she's trying to, so simple things like walking were always silent to others.  As she approached the new person, she was able to get a much more detailed view of her, but this only confused her a bit more.  "Hey.  I don't mean to call you out or anything, but what's with the get up?  You're dressed pretty differently from everyone else I've seen today."  Maestus's claws twitched once slightly as she remembered how her voice made someone else uncomfortable not too long ago.  Although it was easy to tell by her voice that she wasn't human, there was a strong sense of humanity behind it, and this bothered or creeped out her peers, and it terrified any kids she came across.  Hoping that she wouldn't be bothering this person, Maestus tried her best to not look like a potential threat, despite being built for combat, although there was a feint golden glow around the base of the claws in her hands and feet, for reasons even she didn't know.

Although she was happy this person wasn't being difficult to deal with like many others that she met, seeing how she felt comfortable enough to ask Maestus about herself.  However, after Olivia bowed to her, she wasn't sure exactly how to respond.  Maestus had never seen someone do that before, and didn't know if she was supposed to bow back or something.  Now that she knew there wasn't much to be nervous of, minus the bowing, Maestus took on a more confident tone and posture, since the question she was asked was something that she could actually respond to with certainty.  "I guess you make a good point and, yes, I'm not human or Faunus.  My name's Maestus.  I'm an android."  She wasn't sure what else she could tell Olivia.  How much information about Maestus would be appropriate here?  Ah, well.  She'd cross that bridge when she came to it.  For now, she had to make herself seem as friendly as possible, since most of the people she met ended up fighting her or feeling threatened.

"Are you a student here? I know you were just in the dorm rooms, but I feel like I should just make sure before I assume, you know?"  After listening to Olivia talk a couple moments ago, she began to think about the way Maestus spoke to people.  Was it too casual?  Maybe it was just Olivia.  Despite the fact that Maestus didn't even wear clothes, she still felt that the other's attire was pretty strange, and the way she spoke was pretty different too.  Waiting for a response to her question, Maestus idly extended and retracted her claws, forgetting that this action might seem strange to anybody around.

Maestus listened intently as Olivia spoke, since a person as unusual as this always seemed to get her attention, as normal people are too boring and lack the ability to keep up a decent thoughtful conversation.  As the conversation continued, she began to think that this might be someone that she would be able to get along with, as Olivia didn't seem to be afraid to talk to Maestus like just another student.  "Well, I'm not really mechanical in nature... I think.  I mean, I think my emotions are at least real or something. I don't know how though."  Maestus tilted her head to the left, doing her version of facial expressions, seeing how she didn't have a face to express with.  As she listened to Olivia describe her home, she noticed her eyes trail off to some students.  Maestus wasn't sure what their deal was.  Was it normal for organic people to greet strangers like this?  She turned back to Olivia just in time to witness her use her semblance, sending the unfamiliar students running.  Maestus was definitely beginning to respect Olivia now.  She let out a quiet chuckle before saying, "Did the weaklings forget who the alpha was?"  Maestus had a strange thought process, one that was incredibly different from all the androids she's met, and definitely different from most living beings she's seen.  The way she views the world has always been irrational, and the way she treated others was usually based on how animals treat each other.  Those that are capable of hurting you are to be respected, and those that you can hurt better respect you.  Sometimes she questioned herself on why she thought this way, but now wasn't the time for that.  "Do you get a lot of trouble from guys?  Everybody stares at me, but I think it's because I not only look like an intimidating being, but I have a bit of a reputation here."  She looked down at the ground, remembering a regretful memory of hospitalizing the first person she met on her first day here.  Shrugging off the thought, she turned her head back to Olivia. "Good on you, keeping them in line like that."

Maestus couldn't help but hesitate for just a moment while Olivia spoke.  She wasn't really used to positive feedback, and wasn't sure how to respond to it in turn.  All she could do was let out a quiet metallic chuckle and "I hope so." All the while, the gold accents on her chassis began to glow dimly. As Maestus followed Olivia to the bench, she began sizing her up, forgetting that she might be watching, trying to figure out how strong she was or maybe what her major is.  She only saw her use her semblance to scare somebody so far, and hasn't seen her fight at all, so she had no idea if she was as powerful as the guys she scared away thought.  Maestus supposed the easiest way to find out more about her would be to ask instead of guessing at different possibilities in her head.  While moving over to the bench to sit down, she asked, "So, what's your major?  Despite being built for combat I decided I should learn how to fix myself up, so I chose tech."  She hoped Olivia was at least an opponent that she shouldn't be afraid of hurting later, since Maestus did enjoy sparring as long as she didn't seriously harm someone.  "If I'm being honest, sometimes I wonder if combat would have been a better major for me."  Although her tone only ever changed slightly, it wouldn't be clear to anybody listening if she regretted her choices, but her voice was beginning to sound a bit more natural.  Although Maestus had hardly even noticed it happening.

When Olivia mentioned her major, Maestus could had a hard time not showing how happy she was that her new acquaintance was at least somewhat competent at fighting, which meant that if they were to spar, she wouldn't be too afraid of permanently damaging her.  "So your major is Combat... That gives me a bit of an idea."  Maestus stood up from the bench, looking down to make eye contact with Olivia.  "How about we have a quick sparring match?  Normally, I'm afraid to fight others, since my first day at this school ended up with somebody being sent to a hospital.  You seem like you have the right mind and skill to fight without getting hurt quite as badly, and that's assuming that I beat you at all!"

The android could hardly contain her excitement at the thought of fighting someone without fear of truly hurting them.  Despite her wrathful nature and savage fighting style, she didn't enjoy harming those who didn't do anything wrong to her.  She brought her hands to her sides, pointing them at the ground before extending them to show what Olivia would be up against.  "How about it?  The way I fight, you could think of it like fighting a Grimm or something, and I feel like it'd be pretty fun to see which of us would walk out of a fight like this."

As soon as Olivia gave Maestus permission to take the first move, Maestus quite literally lit up.  Her claws extended to their full length and the gold on her body began to glow a deep golden color.  "This is gonna be so much fun!" The second her exclamation ended, she would burst forward at a ludicrous speed, charging at her opponent with her arms preparing to lash out at her.  Maestus was always pretty proud of how fast she was, not to mention how little time it took for her to reach top speed.  Being an android started looking better and better the more she fought with anybody.  The instant she would reach her target, she'd swing the claws on her hands at Olivia savagely, making four attempts at hitting her opponent.  For a moment, Maestus wondered if Olivia would really be okay fighting someone like her, and if she would be able to calm down and hold back if her claws became too much for her opponent.  However when she tried to voice this concern, all that came out was a barbaric war cry.  This was... concerning.

After her four attempted attacks on Olivia, Maestus would jump backwards and examine her hands and claws for a moment, trying to figure out what was happening.  (Yes, she's taking her eyes off of the enemy. This is intentional, so go nuts.)  After a moment of diagnostics, she would come to the conclusion that she only lost control of what she was saying, not her actions.  Upon this realization, she'd look back to Olivia and get either knocked around for looking away from her opponent, or be surprised to find that Olivia let this chance slip out of her hands.  As soon as whatever Olivia does to her ends, she would attempt to say "Alright, I'm ready again." But would end up saying "The sweet sweet song doesn't end yet!"

Maestus looked up just in time to watch Olivia hit her twice in the chest before she could react to the situation in time, after which she would just barely dodge her opponent's last two attacks.  Furious at herself for giving the opponent such a great opportunity to attack, her head would twitch to the side a couple times before she began to make her way towards Olivia again.  This time, she decided not to rush her.  The last time she made an attempt at swinging wildly at her, she dodged all but one attack.  The android would run at a quick jogging pace until she was around ten feet away.  At this point, she would dash forward as fast as she could, swinging once at Olivia knowing full well that she would attempt to avoid her savage claws.  As soon as she saw the direction her opponent was heading, Maestus would dive to meet them before they regained their footing.

Whether her plan worked or not, Maestus would attempt to swing both of her claws at the enemy, grabbing hold of them if her attack landed correctly.  If she successfully grabbed Olivia, she would hold her in a vice - like grip, headbutting her once while saying, "Closer. CLOSER."  If she wasn't in the heat of battle, Maestus would find some amusement in her words.  Olivia seemed like more of a noble or dignified person, while Maestus was screaming nonsense at them for some unidentified reason.

It took a moment for Maestus to register this change of pace.  Not only did she just have flaming blood right in her face, but after being hit three times, Olivia just put her weapon back in it's sheathe.  Nobody ever stopped a fight without someone hitting the floor in a fight that Maestus was in before, and she was still delirious from her rage.  In confusion, the android almost pounced at Olivia again, stopping just in time to not crash against her.  When she tried to say that she was confused about what was happening, the only words that came from her were, "It's wrong.  IT'S ALL WRONG."  The golden color in her claws began to fade as her semblance deactivated, and the blades began to retreat into Maestus's arms again.

For a moment, Maestus stood face to face with Olivia as she began to snap out of her hysteria.  After realizing what had happened, Maestus backed up to an appropriate distance before speaking again.  "I, uh... Wow, that's embarrassing.  I've never had trouble with speaking before.  Well, either way, you were an amazing opponent.  SO WAS I!  That's still happening?  I should probably see somebody about this."  Maestus began to feel every part of her head with her hands, checking if something was broken or out of place.  This may not be dangerous by itself, but it's definitely going to be a problem if she screams something in the middle of a class.
