Six Word Story

" Well — yes! You see, I just got here and I was told my big brother was here. ”

ᒥ another blink — she would do that? even he struggled to find fault in her offer. while he knew that his brother was here and safe, he itched to see him, to confirm that he was alright with his own two eyes. while the witch had told him, he merely didn’t trust her. ᒧ

"Of course!"

┌She smiled and took a moment to look up and down the street. It wasn't as though she knew anything about his brother after all. How to help...? The smile never faded, and her worry never showed.┘

"Do you have a name, or appearance you could give me? If he's been here more than a month, I should be able to call him for you. If not we can check the housing lists for his name."

ᒥ his fingers itch for the bb gun he had been given. it could kill her, theoretically. she wouldn’t die immediately, but a slow, drawn out death as she bled out from the inside. but that was if this gun had enough power to do so, and he would not test it on her. perhaps once he has secured a better knife.. perhaps take one from the kitchen, though those knives seemed dull, used. not properly taken care of.. ah, he would find one eventually, and then take this one’s life with his own hands. ᒧ

┌The girl blinked several times, slight worry touching her face. Was something wrong? Carefully she leaned herself towards the boy, fingers reaching out for his hand to hold it gently in attempt to wash away whatever issues he might have.┘

"I am... Um... I'm sorry, but are you all right?"

┌She watched the expression on his face change a little. Was he angry about something? Or perhaps disoriented from the city itself? His brother... She blinked, the boy seemed about her age, so it might come across as rude... but...┘

┌Being stopped or having strangers talk to her wasn't as uncommon as one might think, especially not in a city full of kind people. So many friends she'd managed to make already, so her guard didn't raise in the slightest as someone approached, in fact, if anything the kind voice caused her guard to lower further, a warm smile coming over the brunette's face.┘

"Hello."

He’s equally as excited for her, but then again he was always a bit more jumpy or hyperactive than the rest of the people he knew…sans Ibuki. He scratches the back of his head as he waits for the answer, and clearly perks up once he gets it.]

Snacks, too?! Sweet, I’ll be there as quick as I can!

"Wonderful! I'll see you in a little bit then... Be careful."

┌Nunnally smiled as they said their goodbyes and immediately made up some snacks and found herself a cuter outfit, as quickly as she could, tying her hair back before she made her way to the park.

When she arrived, she had a bright smile on her face, one hand holding onto the small basket with various snacks. She nestled it safely at her side and lifted her head from the goodies, head falling to one side.┘

"Goku?"

She was also the Massacre Princess, the one responsible for the death of thousands.

But she didn’t know of that second part. All she knew was that she had died, and that the Special Administration Zone had succeeded. She was okay with dying in the end because of that— Because the people she cared so much for would be able to live peacefully, away from the war and corrupt government.

Though she never would’ve thought she’d be able to be brought back to life. When one died, they were never supposed to open their eyes again, right? Once they closed that last time, it was all over. 

Yet somehow, she was here. In a bedroom that wasn’t familiar to her at all. She was a blank slate again, with no memories of this city other than the scientist telling her this was her new home. Had she looked around the room, however, she would’ve found that she hadn’t just arrived here— And that the person who meant the world to her had been here, too.

Instead she all but ran out of the apartment, finding herself on streets she didn’t recognize, surrounded by strangers. Being alive again was all well and good, but Euphie already wished her family and Suzaku were with her.

"Excuse me!" Although standing still in a place like this wouldn’t help her, so she called out to the first person she could reach.

┌She couldn't get accustomed to it. Her eyes were heavy from lack of use, all the years she'd spent in the dark, the light was almost too much for the child. Instead of taking it in all at once she closed her eyes again. Slowly she would get used to opening her eyes, she assured herself. No that she minded not being able to see either.

A voice nearby caught her attention, and the girl tilted her head to one side. Where they were? So some people really didn't remember the city, just as Nunnally didn't remember home. It most certainly had something to do with the choices they were all left to make. No doubt they would return soon enough, so she hoped. Then again, it was a possibility that the stranger was just new to the city. Though everything had been explained through a recording before.

Hearing the stranger brush off the young woman, Nunnally moved forward.┘

"Hive City."

┌She chimed in the name of their over-sized 'prison'. A gentle smile curled at her lips and her hands rested gently on the lap of her skirts.┘

"It's a social experiment of sorts. The whole city is being run by scientists."

┌She continued her calm explanation. 'Basically we've all been kidnapped and are being monitored for who knows what reason' did not seem like a good explanation to give, and would probably only serve to worry the other girl. Instead of dwelling on the subject she extended a hand.┘

"My name is Nunnally Lamperouge."
