Orianna's clockwork body ticked and twitched as she wound herself. The sounds of soft musix echoing around the secluded empty warehouse within Piltover.
She stands completely motionless for a long time, her eyes seem to glow more brightly than normal for a moment before she begins moving with her ball, her usual twitchy movements non-existant as she dances. If anyone were to watch they would see no emotion in the dance, the dance itself was a perfect immitation of the original Orianna's. After a while she stops and looks to the old man who was sitting in the corner watching, his eyes glazed over.
"Does our dance please you father?"
Corin Reveck stares at the clockwork girl, tears roll down his cheek.
"Our dance is not pleasing? It is just like hers."
Corin stands and leaves the warehouse without a word. turning off the lights leaving Orianna standing in darkness. The only sound now the quiet hum of the ball and Orianna's own ticking echoing around the Warehouse. After a while her robotic voice sounds. No motion showing,
"I do not understand..."

Graves maneuvered his way through the alleys and abandoned districts of Piltover, the law hot on his trail. After hopping a fence to get to the warehouses, he trys the doors and cursed for each that did not open. Many doors later one knob finally turned, to Graves relief, and he entered the building quickly, slamming the door shut behind him. He was unnerved by the strange clicking and humming in the warehouse. He walked slowly in the dark, trying to see or feel for a light switch along the walls. His footsteps echoed throughout the warehouse along with the clicking and hums.
( That was almost sad to read, Orianna has such a sad story.)

Orianna's sensors pick up the sounds of someone slowly approaching, the clicking sounds continue as she windes her clockwork body. Her head jerks to the side in immitated curiousity. Her ball, protector and companion, gives of whirring sounds as it moves to investigate. It floats close to Graves before moving behind him and turning on the lights and shooting past returning to Orianna's side.
Orianna stood looking at Graves with her Alien stare, her robotic emotionless voice sounds, "Hello. Your heart rate is, fast. "

"What in tarnati-" When the lights flashed on Graves had cocked his shotgun and quickly scanned the room, noticing the clockwork machine. He had only ever seen her on the fields and even then she was very strange to him, a machine trying to be a girl.
" Well er...afternoon to ya' Orianna." After a moment of thought, he lowered Destiny expecting no trouble.
" Ya' i been runnin' from the sheriffs, that's why my heart is beating faster than ah clock"

Orianna's ball lets out an angry whirring sound as it floats protectivly infront of Orianna. Orianna herself continued to stare at Graves, she snaps her arms back to wind the large clockwork key in her back before returning her attention to Graves, "Ball wants to know why you are running."
Her head still tilted to the side slowly clicks back into place, "I can hear your heart tick-ticking... Like music."

Orianna stares at Graves, "You started a fight. And now run?"
She nods, "I hear your music. It is slowing." She begins clapping to his heart beat, a rather disturbing show as metal clashes against metal.
She gestures with her arm to the large empty area. "I was performing a dance, for father. He cried. And left me in darkness. It was just like hers." She clicks her head to the side, "I do not understand."

Orianna drop her arm to her side, "I was created by Corin. Father. To replace Orianna. She died training to be a champion. Father misses her. I thought I could please him, by dancing her dance. It was like hers. Perfect. But he is sad... He left me in darkness. I saw tears. He is still sad. I do not understand."

"He does not love me?" She the clockwork within her clicks a few times, she reaches back and turns the key causing her to twitch a little. Her alien stare never leaving Malcom once. The movement of her arms would cause any normal human to dislocate or even break their shoulders.
She repeats the phrase she had said many times already, if she had emotion in her voice it would be filled with a curious sadness. "I do not understand."

Graves spit and cleared his throat, unsure of how to explain to the machine. Though he was curious now because she seems generally interested and wants a answer to why and perhaps she DOES have feelings. Though he can't distinguish emotion from her at all.
" I reckon' he loves ya' since you are..er..Orianna. And watched your little dance an' all, spose' the dance just made em sad cause' you did it perfect as a royal flush. Reminded him of the Orianna that went an' died, must be hard for em' to get over his child diein'."
Graves nodded a bit, perhaps she can understand that explanation even though he aint so good at this kind of thing.

Orianna looks to her ball, it makes a few clicking and whirring sounds. Orianna shifts her gaze to Graves, "I am his child. I replaced her. It is to be as though she did not die."
She was clearly not understanding. She clicks her head to the side, the ball hums beside her, "Would you like to dance?"
