さあ 眠りなさい⋯

“Hm?”

Ah, and there’s the boy, looking around the game stores, and… well well! A recommendation? Now that’s not something he’s asked as himself! He has to think for a moment…

Judging by her appearance… well… She looks to be about her 30s, so the kids must just be recently born, right?

“If I may ask, how is your child like, Miss? Just because something is popular doesn’t guarantee they’ll like it. But ah, Pokemon is usually the safest way to go, there’s a new one which just came out not long ago. There’s also a multiplayer where you can trade between friends… S-Sorry, you are familiar with Pokemon, right?”

She most likely is, given how extremely popular it is, but doesn’t hurt to ask!

“But if you like something with thinking skills, maybe something like Among Us, where you can play either the detectives or the killers? It’s a very popular game too! If your child likes shooting games, you can always download Fortnite, which doesn’t require a console! Or… if you are able to configure parental controls in your phone so your child doesn’t buy anything, Genshin Impact is another good one, which is an exploring game…- A-Am I confusing you?”

MARIO KART IS THE EVIL GAME.

It’s not a small amount of information to take in, but Eve listens intently to the boy. Pokemon, she’s familiar with, though perhaps not intimately... and the others, the names sound familiar, so that checks out.

“No, no, I’m following... mostly, I think. And I do know of Pokemon; I played one of the first games... but my kids both seem to enjoy the newer ones as well.”

Adam told her not to go outside by herself today-- not while her ankle was still healing from one of her stupid stunts of recent. Really, it wasn’t anything new, given that she seems to get herself hurt even more than her clumsy son...

But she was bored. And hey, she could walk mostly fine. So, to the closest video game store! Then maybe the nearby convenience store for snacks since she can’t really cook much...

“Oh you do? That’s great, they can check it for you then. But it’s good to know you don’t live too far away.” Then Suisei stops walking. “Actually, do you think it would be easier if you hopped on my back and I just carried you?” Suisei can tell this girl is going to struggle getting home, so she wants to help her. Sure she could have just kept walking, but who is Suisei to not go and help out a cute girl who just fell out of a tree?

“So who is it in your family that has medical training? A parent or an older sibling?” She’s just trying to make idol conversation at this point. She knows nothing about her, so why not get to know her a little?

“A-Ah, that’s quite alright.” Sure, every step she takes with her injured leg hurts, but she’d like to maintain some semblance of pride and composure here...! “Walking like this is just fine for me. Honestly, it doesn’t hurt that bad...”

...It probably would be faster and easier, though.

Judging by Evillious canon...

“Mhm, that’s right!” Green would be correct! All Miku characters, including Eve, are associated with the color green, and in-universe, they’re all considered beautiful green-haired women.

“Are you sure? Well if you say so. Just make sure to have it looked at later at least, if you don’t it might just get worse.” Suisei stands up. “Well, at least let me help you get home, it will take you forever to get home otherwise and I’d rather you not injure yourself further.” Suisei offers a hand out to her.

“Maybe we can even get ice cream on the way? Or something else if you’re hungry.”

“...Nn. I’d like to say that’s alright and I’ll be fine, but I will probably need you to help me get home... S-Sorry for all the trouble, Miss...” She takes Suisei’s hand-- well, her arm, more like-- and allows the other to help her walk. Man, that injury stings... “And-- don’t worry, there’s... someone in my family with medical training, so... I’ll be alright once I’m home.”

...Ice cream does sound rather good at the moment, now that Suisei’s brought it up. Though Eve would rather not have to hobble around for longer than necessary, at the same time.

“Um... Thank you, but I think I’d be best going straight home... It isn’t too far from here. I actually live quite close to the forest.” Still, she wonders if maybe she should invite Suisei in for tea or snacks or something, to thank her for today. Would that be weird? Given the totally wrong idea Suisei seems to have about her?

“The cat didn’t seem to need any help considering it ran away right after you fell.” Suisei laughs. “Ah I don’t think your parents would scold you too much for trying to the right thing. I know my parents definitely wouldn’t have.” Suisei takes a carton of apple juice out of her bag. “Here, drink this. It won’t help with the healing process, but it might distract you from the pain and relax you a little bit.”

“Do you need me to call an ambulance, or maybe one of your parents?”

“...Thank you.” Though she feels awkward about it, she accepts the juice nonetheless. Really feels like how she might normally treat one of her children after they’ve injured themselves... “I-- really don’t think this is bad enough to call an ambulance. And I’d rather not trouble anyone in my family right now... but I appreciate the offer.”

“Nah, no need to me ‘Miss’, Suisei or Suichan is okay with me. But it’s nice to meet you Eve.” Suisei successfully gets her to the bench and sits her down. “Try to keep your leg elevated if you can.”

“You should be a little more careful about climbing trees. I assume you were trying to help that cat, but still. I know you’re probably only fifteen or sixteen and think you have the strength to do it, but next time maybe try calling for someone who is more capable.”

“I’d think just your first name is a little overly familiar, but if you say it’s alright...”

“...H-- Huh? Wait-- No, no, I’m not...” Fifteen or sixteen? Eve knows she looks young for her age, but that’s a bit... S-- Should she be flattered or embarrassed? She’s definitely leaning more towards embarrassed right now, given that the assumption is probably partially because no 30s-aged non-athletic housewife in her right mind would climb up a tree like that.

“Ah sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you, but yeah it looks like a sprain to me. Let me help you move to a bench nearby.” Suisei puts her arm around the injured girl and helps her stand. She points to a bench just a few feet away. “We’ll get you over there, think you can hop that length?” She says as she starts trying to move the girl. “Ah, my name is Suisei by the way, what’s yours?”

“O-- Oh.” It takes Eve a moment to realize the other girl is trying to help her up, before which she instinctively leans away, but when she does realize, she gladly allows her to help.

Eve’s quite light, so this shouldn’t be difficult for Suisei at all. 

She does see the cat running away and figures out why this chick was in the tree. “Yeah you might have twisted your ankle or sprained it. Let me take a look.” She looks down at this chick’s ankle and yeah, it’s lookin’ kinda funky. “That… doesn’t look good. How does it feel when I do this?” She gon’ poke it.

“Hngah...” ...That was a noise that she didn’t quite expect to make. But hey, she didn’t expect the other to poke her injured ankle, so it came unbidden. “...Um. I-It... hurts when you do that. Quite a bit.”

Ah. Eve had been so focused on her little situation that she hadn’t noticed someone was around to see the whole mess. Yipes.

“Oh-- A-Ah, I’ve... had better falls, I suppose?” Eve tries to joke, forcing herself to sit up, but she winces as her leg shifts from the action. “Wow though, this really hurts. I think I may have hit my leg funny when I landed...”

“Sigh... Due to reasons, I’ve been told I shouldn’t go out too far from home for the time being... Adam even said no visiting the forest...”

Psst. Hey. Hey. Do you wanna talk about our lord and savior, mothy? Huh? No? Why are you leaving? Uwah--

Just a little promo for a roleplay blog for a Modern!AU-based epic gamer Eve Moonlit from the Evillious Chronicles, with a canon-ish verse that’ll be available too, when I get around to writing more stuff out for it.
