Dizzy!

“Mister are you ok?”

Here, Dizzy is offering her chocolate bar. She’s just bought it, and hasn’t taken a bite or even unwrapped it yet!

A child. The prospect of her becoming collateral damage to his frenzy curbs Shizuo on the spot. Rage simmering to a slow decrease, the uprooted sign post ends up taking the brink as its twined and mutilated into corkscrew scrap metal.

❝I’m fine kid.❞

"That was amazing! You could be an awesome metal worker with talents like that." She tilted her head up.

And cue her small and boney hand snagging his sleeve, ready to follow him to the trains. Deep down she brushed off the common sense that told her she shouldn’t just go with a stranger on a train and beamed. “This is gonna be great! My first train ride and my first time seeing fresh fruits and veggies!”

He stiffed at her sudden contact, but he tried to force himself to relax. He was sure she didn’t mean him any harm, but he couldn’t force himself off high alert.

“Oh, really? I’ve…been on the train a few times. And sometimes I go shopping with Touko-san. Uh…the train station is this way…”

“Miss! Your hair looks amazing! Do you curl it every day like that?”

【 † 】 he hadn’t planned on devoting most of his evening to finding a pumpkin patch; truth be told, the minister hadn’t even known hive city had a pumpkin patch, what with its dream - crushing habits. so when someone mentioned the little farmhouse in district 006, joseph had been pleasantly surprised. said surprise melded slowly into exasperation with each winding trail, although the number of halloween decor lining the browning leaves along the paths borders did leave an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach – but at least the weather was nice. the air was crisp, path leaf-strewn, golden and rust-hued flora just beginning to take over the greenery. he noted that the barn itself, as it came into view, was a homely sort of place. it consisted mostly of graying wood and tin, porch furniture making up for the overall lack of color with red fabrics and potted plants. there was a sort of festival set up around the land; a mini petting zoo, apple bobbing station, the sort.. and, of course, a large pumpkin patch to the left. people milled about, decked in light coats and carrying with them candied apples or funnel cake from the makeshift concession stand.

“Well, you all had different sounding names, that’s good, right?. Gaston has a pair of twins he named Gaston and Gaston. Now there’s a man that’s a bit full of himself. At least once Gil came around he got his own name. Gil’s one of the only other kids on the Isle that are well…nice. He’s not like his brothers and that gets him into trouble sometimes.”  

“Well, it’s mainly true for us! We live on the Isle of the lost and it’s where all the bad guys wound up. And I guess since we were left on the Isle, It was seen we’d do something bad in the future and no one came to get us. Any tech we have is years behind what the united states of auradon. Once they don’t have a use for things we get sent their stuff.”

✯ “What the- that’s revolting! C’mon, I’m sure that the United Nations would have done something regarding that, no? T-There’s just no way that can be the lesat bit justified!”

“We’re the kids of their bad guys. We’re lucky they decided that being dead was too good for us.”

Dizzy hopped out of the trash dump, and from her bag, she took out a…rather rusty knife. Lord, please do not allow the child to cut herself with that thing. It looks like it’d take three tetanus shots to clean her of whatever diseases it might give her.

“I see…” While Battler can understand why people might carry grudges towards the children of those who hurt them (Battler himself being a living example of that situation), it didn’t make it the least more justifiable on his book. Children aren’t the same person as their parents and shouldn’t be treated as such if their parents suck.

Her nose did scrunch at the mention of being able to get her a new knife. Dizzy was a little on edge for that. No one did anything for nothing, not a stranger at least.

“I hope it’s not an issue! I only got here a few days ago. I just put together an outfit from my closet.”
