Personification Life - IC Part VI [open]

[The BranRiech]

"All zeros. Up here." Luce pointed above his head. "Not sure that it would have made a difference whether she was still officially one of us or not, either."

His eyes shadowed over.

"N-No . . . She can't be . . ."

Bran stumbled back a few feet, falling into a chair and covering his face with his sleeve as he bawled his eyes out into the poor sweatshirt. One of his best friends . . .

. . . Was gone forever, just like his parents were.

[Urran]

Swith blushed. "Belonging to your heart is the best part of my existence, my love. You have no idea how much that means to me."

"Aww, well.." *he was then lost at words, to suffice this, he gave her a smile.*
__
"Go a'head, boi, make my day." *He didn't keep his eye off Yoshi but he could sense Torii leaving.* "Where is she go'in?"

"what are you going to do? k-k-kill me?" he asked nervously with a gulp

[New Aksarben]

"Ah, well are you okay? By the way, this is my new friend, Albert. I'm trying to help him with mixed feelings about things, but I'm not doing a very good job," she admitted. "So, do you feel it too? The boiling in the air?"

"Hello Albert! I'm Naomi," she bowed to the man before turning back to Gio.

"Yes, it's like all the tense moths from the aftermath suddenly sprung up here. People are acting weird. Maybe it's hitting home that we lost our home? We need to scare the moths away."

"Hello, Naomi. Nice to meet you." He said giving a little bow back. "It could also be that we are in a somewhat strange place." Albert offered as an explanation. Then when he noticed Bran and Gio's reactions to Luce's words, he went quiet. He hadn't met Dora, and didn't know who she was, but he could tell that she meant a lot to the others.

[Swith Witherward]

Swith blushed. "Belonging to your heart is the best part of my existence, my love. You have no idea how much that means to me."

"Aww, well.." *he was then lost at words, to suffice this, he gave her a smile.*

"Go a'head, boi, make my day." *He didn't keep his eye off Yoshi but he could sense Torii leaving.* "Where is she go'in?"

She smiled in return and caressed the back of his hand.

--

"Oh dear," Naomi said. She didn't know who to comfort first... Bran or Gio. She looked at Luce, her brows knitted together. "Dora was loved by many."

[Tiltjuice]

"Oh dear," Naomi said. She didn't know who to comfort first... Bran or Gio. She looked at Luce, her brows knitted together. "Dora was loved by many."

Luce stared back, expression somewhat intense, and nodded slowly. "So it appears."

To Bran and Gio, he continued. "Ask anything you wish. I will answer as best I can - I came here to understand. I would have anyway, even without the bosses ordering me here. Dora and I were friends for several centuries."

[The BranRiech]

"Why didn't she get to Chaos in time?" Bran asked between sniffles and bouts of crying, his face still buried in his sleeve.

[Germanic Templars]

"Aww, well.." *he was then lost at words, to suffice this, he gave her a smile.*

"what are you going to do? k-k-kill me?" he asked nervously with a gulp

"Kill you? For me to waste my time on a weaklin' like you, would be a waste of my en'agy and streng't. Streng't and en'agy I could use to kill real t'reats. In fact, I will turn my back to you." *He did just that, turning his back to Yoshi with his arms crossed.*

She smiled in return and caressed the back of his hand.

"So then, what do we do from here?"

[Giovenith]

Giovenith was obviously trying very, very hard to keep it together, though the straining effort it took only made her grief much more obvious than it did hide it. Despite her usual cheery attitude, she didn't like to allow others to see her cry, especially if other people were already crying... there was nothing as uncomfortable as being reduced to tears and feeling like there was no one to lean on, what with everyone being in the same state as you are. She wanted to do the right thing by being a voice of comfort, but the truth was she far too choked to even attempt such a thing... not speaking was the only thing keeping the wails in.

She looked down and wiped quickly at her face repeatedly with a shaking arm, shaking her head in response to Luce. She couldn't really convey her need to not speak better than that.

[Torsiedelle]

Katya stepped in between the Krute and Yoshi as Torii walked in. She tossed Katya two rapiers. Katya took on and took a combat stance and kicked the other rapier towards the Krute.

"Draw!"

[Tiltjuice]

"Why didn't she get to Chaos in time?" Bran asked between sniffles and bouts of crying, his face still buried in his sleeve.

"What is Chaos?"

Giovenith was obviously trying very, very hard to keep it together, though the straining effort it took only made her grief much more obvious than it did hide it. Despite her usual cheery attitude, she didn't like to allow others to see her cry, especially if other people were already crying... there was nothing as uncomfortable as being reduced to tears and feeling like there was no one to lean on, what with everyone being in the same state as you are.

She looked down and wiped quickly at her face repeatedly with a shaking arm, shaking her head in response to Luce. She couldn't really convey her need to not speak better than that.

Luce nodded understandingly at Giovenith, offering another handkerchief.

[Urran]

Yoshi put his dagger back in its sheath. he stepped over towards Torii. "Torii-san? do you have a katana?" he whispered to her

[Swith Witherward]

"Hello, Naomi. Nice to meet you." He said giving a little bow back. "It could also be that we are in a somewhat strange place." Albert offered as an explanation. Then when he noticed Bran and Gio's reactions to Luce's words, he went quiet. He hadn't met Dora, and didn't know who she was, but he could tell that she meant a lot to the others.

Naomi nodded to Luce and cast a meaningful glance to let him know she was supporting him.

"Albert, Dora was a dear friend to many people here. She first came to us when we were staying on our island, and she's been a fixture for a very long time. She was wild, and witty, and loving. She was larger than life sometimes, with purple hair and a motorcycle, and she was always ready to help. She was the first Conservator we all ever knew, and it's impossible to even think of Time without thinking of Dora."

"So then, what do we do from here?"

"Long term? We thrive. Short term? We plan a Blessing ceremony. Perhaps Ogoti is free tomorrow? Immediately? We enjoy a meal and maybe go back home and see if the twins will behave and go to sleep early so Momma and Daddy can enjoy private time?"

She chuckled and then pulled a salt shaker out of Sydney's hands before the child could unscrew the top.

[Torsiedelle]

Yoshi put his dagger back in its sheath. he stepped over towards Torii. "Torii-san? do you have a katana?" he whispered to her

"Tsu might.", She replied. "But I can't fight her..."

[Germanic Templars]

Katya stepped in between the Krute and Yoshi as Torii walked in. She tossed Katya two rapiers. Katya took on and took a combat stance and kicked the other rapier towards the Krute.

"Draw!"

*J'aluk looked at the sword on the ground before looking at Kayta.* "What, is d'at? More impo'tantly, what are you do'in?"
__
"Sounds like a great plan to me."

[Urran]

Yoshi put his dagger back in its sheath. he stepped over towards Torii. "Torii-san? do you have a katana?" he whispered to her

"Tsu might.", She replied. "But I can't fight her..."

he thought for a moment. "a-another rapier perhaps?"

[The BranRiech]

"What is Chaos?"

"It's where we went to stay safe, was Dora still in the apartment building at the time? She could have easily walked across the street and to safety, so why didn't she?" Bran asked angrily, looking to the pool for refuge from his emotions. He jumped from his chair and dove in, swimming all the way down to the bottom and keeping himself there. He wouldn't have to wait for a response, he could sit down there for as long as he wanted.

He was still listening though.

[Torsiedelle]

Katya stepped in between the Krute and Yoshi as Torii walked in. She tossed Katya two rapiers. Katya took on and took a combat stance and kicked the other rapier towards the Krute.

"Draw!"

*J'aluk looked at the sword on the ground before looking at Kayta.* "What, is d'at? More impo'tantly, what are you do'in?"

"Sounds like a great plan to me."

Katya's eyes narrowed.

"You annoy me with your taunting. You dare insult Yoshi's strength and ability!"

Torii for an idea.

"Yoshi.....gimme your knife."

[Giovenith]

Luce nodded understandingly at Giovenith, offering another handkerchief.

The girl accepted the handkerchief, using it instead of her rough sleeves to wipe her face. Her breathing was beginning to no longer have to be completely bottled up, though now it was starting to release in small gasps she also tried to hide as breathing.

[Urran]

"Yoshi.....gimme your knife."

he passed it to her. it was of very good quality and Yoshi knew how to use it, but he gave it to Torii anyway. he had had just about enough of the Krute

[Cerillium]

Katya's eyes narrowed.

"You annoy me with your taunting. You dare insult Yoshi's strength and ability!"

Torii for an idea.

"Yoshi.....gimme your knife."

"Girl, if you fight in his place, you've clipped his balls. You've dishonored him and disgraced him. You wanna do that, go right ahead. Otherwise, keep your temper. Oh, I'll serve as the Krute's second. I doubt he's familiar enough with Earth standard duels and etiquette. We're going by High standard, are we?"

[Germanic Templars]

*J'aluk looked at the sword on the ground before looking at Kayta.* "What, is d'at? More impo'tantly, what are you do'in?"

"Sounds like a great plan to me."

Katya's eyes narrowed.

"You annoy me with your taunting. You dare insult Yoshi's strength and ability!"

"Well first of all, we are on my planet, so we fi'te by my rules and my traditions. Two, I have no quarrel wi't you, but wi't him, so stay outta it. Besides, ya only showin' how pa'tetic he is."

[Torsiedelle]

Katya's eyes narrowed.

"You annoy me with your taunting. You dare insult Yoshi's strength and ability!"

Torii for an idea.

"Yoshi.....gimme your knife."

Oh, I'll serve as the Krute's second. I doubt he's familiar enough with Earth standard duels and etiquette. We're going by High standard, are we?"

While they weren't looking, Torii ran around the corner with her TF gun and the knife. A minute later, she walked in and handed Yoshi a katana, marked in the hilt with Kanji.

"Will this work?"

[Swith Witherward]

"Sounds like a great plan to me."

"Well, it's still technically our honeymoon, and Drones be damned," she giggled and took a bite of her salad.

[Torsiedelle]

Katya's eyes narrowed.

"You annoy me with your taunting. You dare insult Yoshi's strength and ability!"

"Well first of all, we are on my planet, so we fi'te by my rules and my traditions. Two, I have no quarrel wi't you, but wi't him, so stay outta it. Besides, ya only showin' how pa'tetic he is."

Katya looked at the two, weighing her options. She slowly lowered the sword and stepped aside.

"Right. This is a matter of HIS honour. I will stand down...this time. Just this time."

[Germanic Templars]

"Sounds like a great plan to me."

"Well, it's still technically our honeymoon, and Drones be damned," she giggled and took a bite of her salad.

"Yea,but at least they are gone for good now, right?"
