[ The Fool ]  All dressed up for the Greinell Easter Festival, as like the many other children and young adults of Raime, Cybille adjusted the bunny ears upon her head while she studied her environment carefully. The bright blue and white cloth clung onto her body lightly, making it seem a size too small.. Though it was strangely comfortable. It was not her choice to wear such an outfit, but the owner of the flower shop's daughter wanted her to since she was quite fond of the elf. Who could resist those cute puppy eyes anyway? And the little girl was, after all, an angel, a rare individual who would listen to her parents without any complaints or tantrums. Cybille gave a sigh and headed off with a basket in her hand which she had brought from home. It was time to go egg hunting.
Firstly, she began her search at the park. Why? Considering the last experience she had during the Easter Festival, the nurse found at least half a dozen eggs hidden among the bushes and trees. Perhaps they changed the spots just a tad.. Or perhaps not. Cybille swayed her weightless basket back and forth as she approached one of the boulders in the middle of the playground. She made a round about and smiled at the sight of a soft pink egg just laying there, waiting for someone to pick it up and carry it back to the trading station. Well, that was one and coincidentally, it was painted one of her favourite colors. Maybe I should just keep this one. Cybille thought as her hand reached out for it and placed it gently into the basket.
Continuing on, the nurse turned away from the area and decided to pay a visit to the lake. If she was lucky enough, there was a possibility of stumbling onto another. Mm? Her eyes caught sight of a whole group of excited children sitting upon the grass, exchanging eggs. Their baskets were rather full and could not collect anyone more than one. Unless, they did prefer just toss the straw-woven container and use their back packs instead. I'm assuming they started out in the early mornings. She gave a small smile at a green-haired boy who looked up at her with curious, sly feline eyes and moved away.
Back to searching, Cybille made her rounds and stared up at the lower tree branches. There were times when the volunteers would climb up the barks and carefully arrange the eggs into a bird's nest, in hopes to conceal them better than the others. But who could not, almost immediately, notice something odd about their colors? And to much good fortune, she spotted an orangey egg sitting on the shelter of twigs, next to the normal colored ones. Planning on how to get it down, she dropped the basket next to the tree and hopped up, using the protruding pieces of wood to support her weight. Slender arms, seeming as if they had no strength whatsoever, curled around the branches and lifted the nurse up, just enough for her right hand to grab onto the egg.
Within ten minutes, she fell back down skillfully onto both of her feet and admired her new discovery. It was a pretty color, but not as fascinating as her first one. Cybille bent down to take back her basket and sat the orange egg next to the pinky. Moving on. She adjusted her bunny ears, once again, back in place and kicked the dirt off from her shoes. Now, where to look next.. She brought out her hand and counted the numerous places as likely options. Or maybe she should keep trying to look around in the park and find a third egg. I wonder what the next color will be.. hopefully purple.Pi-sama  Eden goes toward the park with a basket for the Easter egg hunting and another basket with their small " monas " to give. She had arrived at the park and she leaves the basket of the monas near a great tree and it begins to look for eggs of colors, when she see a woman with an outfix of bunny and she come close to her with a gentile smile.
" Hello Miss "[ The Fool ] Stretching out her free arm, she examined the clear blue sky which matched her eyes perfectly. A few blinks here and there to take in the scenery. Cybille had chosen to stay in the park just for a little while before heading out, just in case. Now.. where would be a good hiding spot. She tilted her heads towards the large map which was centered in the middle of the plaza and eyed the left hand corner of the chart. Maybe the stone path is be a good idea.. Elders would visit that place so most of the children would not think twice of hunting around that area. After convincing herself, she went off in search for another egg.
However, just as she was about to go. Someone had called out to her and instinctively, the nurse turned around to meet the eyes of a child. A white haired one who was dressed in mostly red. She too had a basket.. and another that contained buns. The baker's daughter? No.. the last time I heard, he only has a son. What could she possibly be doing with those? Her eyebrow raised in question. "May I help you?" If she is going to sell them, I have to say I did not bring my purse along with me. Pi-sama Eden comes closer to the miss and she extends her hand to greet.
" hello I'm Eden Leassi, nice to meet you" she smile and waiting for Cybielle estends her hand and said " im here for egg haunting but is my frist time and i no sure if i find someone" se give a Cybille other gentyl smile. [ The Fool ] Cybille's ears twitched as she stared at the hand offered in front of her before taking it in her own. She shook it for a split second then quickly removed her grasp and placed her arm by her side. So much for the calm and peaceful silence she deared for. "Please to meet you Eden. My name is Cybille Jardin.. Your first time at egg hunting? I see.. They are all hiding all over Raime. I found these two.." She showed the soft pink and orange egg in her basket to the child. "Near the playground and up in a tree. They are rather easy if you have a keen eye." Pi-sama Eden smiles to Cybille and said "Thanks miss, that eggs more cute you are lucky" suddenly Eden runs toward where she had left the basket with the monas and she picks up a mona and a note and she gives it to Cybille " here you are, this bun is traditional in other country for Easter, and the note is the tradition" she smile " is a gift for help me " she smile more charmingly. Ferra  Obert meandered about the festival with his white rabbit ears firmly affixed to his head. Wendy insisted he wear them today and win her a prize as a favor since she would be working during the festival hours. He didn't object profusely as he actually found the ears to be in rather good taste, but it did seem a bit unusual for a grown man to participate in an Easter egg hunt.
Obert spied a dark purple egg scarcely hidden by nearby bush. He swiftly moved to collect the egg and snatched it before a young man in his early teens. The boy growled and ran off in order to oust another egg from its hiding spot. Obert grinned smugly and placed the egg in his basket. His competitive nature indicated he may have more fun than he originally anticipated.Pi-sama After giving her gift to Cybille, Eden begins with her search of eggs. She looks for between the plants of the floor and she doesn't find anything then she looks more attentively between the roots of a tree and she finds a purple egg, Eden smiles pleased with herself and she puts her egg in the basket for continue looking for the park. She looks to see where is looking for Cybille now and she go toward her right seems that here don't look for Cybille before. SomethingGood  Eiten walked to the park, where he'd seen that this easter event was going to take place. He had brought a basket from home to collect eggs in, hoping he would find a few. Hope I have more luck than when I tried to find a four-leaf clover...he thought to himself. While walking, he tripped over something, causing him to stumble a bit. When he looked back in irritation to try to see what it was, he saw it was one of the eggs. He smiled and scooped up the bright orange egg, putting it in his basket carefully.Pi-sama Eden continues looking for when she listens a noise and she is rotated toward her back to see in the distance Etien, and a gentile smile is drawn in her face while she goes to greet her friend Etien.
" hey Etien you look for Eggs too " she said happily and hug her friend
SomethingGood Eiten froze on the spot, just staring off into the distance. He was quite confused by the sudden hug, but he didn't want to shove her away, since that would be rude, and he thought she was very nice. "Err..." he carefully took her arms off of him, then took a step back and smiled oddly. "Yeah." he said to answer her question. He then held up his basket, showing the one egg he had already collected. "Have you got any?" he asked. Pi-sama Eden doesn't give importance when Eiten moves away from her, then after Eiten becomes show his egg Eden lifts her basket and she says:
" I only find one, see " Eden show her basket with a purple egg. Then she remembers her buns and chocolate, and she says to Eiten :
"I have baked a traditional bun of Easter of a distant country you want one with chocolate" she made a gentil smile to Eiten.
SomethingGood Eiten almost sighed in relief that she didn't get angry or upset with him for getting out of the hug. He peeked in her basket at the egg, then looked up at her. "Oh, uh, sure!" he said, smiling a bit. "After this, do you want to look for eggs together?" Pi-sama Eden runs toward where she has her other basket full with buns and she pick up one, a bar of chocolate and a note for Eiten, When she see something strange in the plants near her basket of buns, she comes closer and she finds a pink egg, she picks up it and she thinks, " the whole time so close and I didn't have seen you Eggie ".
She returns where Eiten is and she gives him a bun, a bar of chocolate and a note " here you are Eiten" she made a gentil smile.Note Dear friend: This bun is called " Mona ", and it is traditional in Easter in a distant country, the tradition says that you have to eat up the bun and when alone it is the egg you have to break it to somebody in the forehead, but you are good and break it for the wide part of the egg, please. love Eden. [ The Fool ] Cybille eyed the girl before looking down at the bun in her hand. She narrowed her sky blues and then lifted her gaze back to Eden's face, thanking her with the nod of her head. The elf really did not help much but to explain the basics of Easter hunting and good spots to look for. Oh well. As soon as the white haired child left, she resumed her search for more eggs. Where was I headed for again? Oh yes, the stone path. She clicked her shoes together and moved on towards her destination, whistling a quiet song from her lips. However, just as soon as she turned a corner, her left foot managed to trip over something and that caused her to yelp suddenly.
Looking back, she fixated upon a light blue egg which had been left there, sitting in the middle of nowhere. "Now who could have placed it here? Kinda a silly spot if you'd ask me. And dangerous too." Cybille frowned at the thought of losing her balance and falling to the hard rocky ground. In no time, she picked up the egg and placed it within the basket along with the others, careful to not mix it up with Eden's gift. SomethingGood Eiten took them and read the note quickly. He nodded to her while looking up, then smiled at her. "Thank you." he said, carefully putting them in his basket so he didn't have to put them in his pocket, where they would be squished. "Do you want to go look for eggs?" Pi-sama Eden smiles and she says to Eiten "of course, I found another egg near my basket of buns" she shows him her new pink egg and she puts a finger pensively in her cheek and she says, "now where we should look for" Eden looks to its surrounding and she is thought of a place, "Why do we won't look in the swings?". SomethingGood Eiten blinked. "Really? That's lucky.." he then turned and looked at the tree behind them. "Aha...we'll look at the swings next, for now..." he pointed up in the tree, where an egg was tucked between the trunk and a branch. He then looked back at Eden. "It's too high to reach, and I don't think I could climb to it...do you think I could lift you to it?" Pi-sama Eden looks at Eiten and then to the egg and she says, if you can get up until there, of course I get it". She leaves their basket in the floor and she comes closer to the tree, she waits Eiten lifts her to reach the egg. SomethingGood Eiten set his basket down, then stood back up. "Ready?" he asked. But he didn't wait for an answer. He took her waist in his hands and lifted her up as high as he could, with a little difficulty. "Can you reach it?" he called up to her. Pi-sama Eden feels suddenly as Eiten lifts her and she represses a small scream of fear, once raised she stretches her arms and she can touch with her fingers the egg, almost she has it, "I already almost have it Eiten". Eden stretches a little more her arms and she touches the egg that seems to move after a touch but the egg slides of the branch and Eden catches it to the flight. "I already have it Eiten" She looks at the egg, it is a light green eggs, perfect color for Eiten, Eden thinks Psycho.Origami  Valerie set her basket down in the grass and fell down beside it. She peeked at the scarce contents of her basket, a pink and an orange egg. Her lack of eggs didn't bother her much, even though she had been out there hunting for quite some time, she enjoyed the people watching. Seeing all the young kids running from bush to bush, looking their hardest for silly colored eggs was most enjoyable; it was cute. So far she hadn't spotted anyone she knew, but she would keep an eye out. At the moment she was fixated on the lake. There was little activity on the water, except was looked to be either a giant duck, or a goose-like bird. Either way, it looked menacing, and was coming her way.
Not wanting to engage in a conflict with the duck-goose, or even scream aloud like she had done many times before from fright, she scrambled to her feet and took off back towards the field. Ferra Obert continued to search for Easter eggs. He'd found a light blue one perched precariously in a fork of a tree branch just out of an average child's reach (which made it an easy target for the tall doctor). Otherwise, his pursuits had been fairly unfruitful. Obert imagined that since he started a while after the hunt officially began, the majority of the more obvious eggs had been collected. However, as he strolled around the grass along the lake he spotted an unattended basket in the distance. He grew closer and noticed a light pink and pale orange egg nestled inside.
"Finders keepers," he concluded and snatched the eggs adding them to his own. [ The Fool ] On the way to the stone path, her sky blues were snatched from the sign set before her and laid them upon a familiar figure. But there was something different about him. Something.. on his head that she would not imagine him wearing. "... Obert?" Cybille called out towards the male, cupping her free hand around her mouth to increase her volume since he was about a distance away. It would be embarrassing to mistaken him for someone else but there was no harm in trying. After all, it had been a while since she last saw him at the clinic. Her eyes fixated at the bunny ears on his head and grinned at how one was flopping over while the other pointed upwards to the sky above.
Her feet were about to walk in his direction but her sensitive ears picked up the clanking sounds of another person. She turned her head and raised an eyebrow at a much younger female. Well, she seems rather happy to see him. A frown appeared on her lips, thinking about what Obert had been doing rather than his job. Psycho.Origami Once she felt that she was at a safe enough distance from the Duck-Goose, Valerie stopped running (if you could call it running) and turned back towards the lake. The Duck-Goose waddled a short ways onto shore, back into the water and it was on it's merry way. She started to turn back to go search for more eggs but to her dismay, the basket wasn't in her hand. It must still be by the water..
As she made her was back to the water she came to a framiliar face, "Mr. Obert!" She was happy to see him again after all the help he gave her, "have you seen my basket?" It took her a moment to notice them but she held in her laughter at the silly rabbit ears perched on top of his head. Bob Dobbs  *Chris stepped out of the bakery with flour covered clothing. He had been so busy making easter treats he had not really had time to enjoy the company of the others. He yawned a bit then wondered if anything was going on.*Ferra Obert recognized the first voice in an instant but was divided on whether or not seeing Cybille was a good or bad thing. He wasn't sure how she'd react to seeing him wearing ridiculous bunny ears while playing a child's game of egg hunt, but at the same time he was curious to what she was wearing and to some extent why she was there. However, he had a far more pressing matter with the owner of the second voice. It didn't take him long to realize that the eggs he took belonged to Valerie and she now, whether she realized it or not, had caught him red-handed. Obert turned towards the sheep feeling unusually sheepish himself.
"Oh Valerie, you must mean this?" he said snatching her basket off the ground. As he moved a bit closer he carefully replaced the eggs hoping she wouldn't catch that he had claimed them for his own. Fortunately, he had already pinned her as the unassuming type and had faith she'd let it slide. Obert glanced over in the direction of where he heard Cybille's voice. He was tempted to call her over, but decided to wait to see if she would do so on her own accord. [ The Fool ] Tapping her shoes against the ground, she frowned at the actions of Obert and was able to tell what was going on. Her arms crossed at her chest as an expression of curiousity showed clearly on her face. Unsure of whether she should approach them, Cybille held onto the handle of the basket tightly and slowly took a few steps. Ever so often stopping for a while. Was he back to flirting with the younger girls? She supposed she could not blame him since he was still single and aging.
Once she was close enough, her head tilted to the right as she continued to observe the young ram then darted her eyes towards the doctor's. "I see you are keeping yourself busy, Obert. Fancy seeing you here." Her tone was a little strict as a mother's would when she found her child fooling around against her own will. Ferra Obert had turned back towards Valerie and didn't realize Cybille had approached so quickly. He hardly enjoyed his "mother" chastising him, especially since she no doubt assumed he was leching on young girls. He turned warily towards her to explain but paused for a moment to comprehend her attire. Unlike his goofy ears, she was in a full-on bunny girl outfit (that for some reason seemed awfully familiar...) Of course, it was far more attractive to see a female rabbit than male in his opinion, even when compared to himself.
"Well Cybille, I believe I could say the same for you," he reposted as he recollected his composure. "And I happen to be helping this young lady collect Easter eggs," Obert added, using Valerie as his cover. Psycho.Origami Valerie looked from Obert, to the woman addressed as Cybille. It was obvious she (Valerie) was confused by the look on her face. [ The Fool ] Her posture never changed as her foot tapped away to a beat. Too many times had she seen the doctor around women of all ages, shamelessly commenting about their appearances in public. Sometimes she did wonder how they both managd to get together, only to realize it was more of a 'mother and son' relationship... Even though he was a few years older. "Helping her I see.." Her eyes went back to lay upon the ram, studying her looks and possibly reading behind that innocent face which she once had.
"I was forced to wear this apparently.. and I have yet to find the child who did so." She patted against her skirt and thought about Jeanette, the little flower girl. Pausing for a few seconds, Cybille bent down and extended out her hand to the smaller female. "Nice to meet you dear, I'm Cybille Jardin. I work with Obert as a nurse at the clinic." Bob Dobbs *After finding out about an easter egg hunt, Chris, gets a basket and goes to hunt for them like everyone else. He walked to the site where the hunt was and saw many people searching high and low. Some he remembered as friends and aquaintances, others he had not met at all. Unsure where to begin, he started looking under bushes and inside holes in the tree's. So far he wasnt having a whole lot of luck.
Changing tactics he looked upwards and spied one in a tree. He would have to climb to get to it and he was not looking forward to getting his clothing mussed any further than it already was but since he was already half covered in flour perhaps it really shouldnt matter much. He plucked the orange egg and put it in his basket nearly falling out of the tree on the way down. With any luck he wouldnt get splinters.
He spied a second egg at a hole near the tree trunk. He wouldnt have seen it if he hadnt climbed the tree but it turned out to be a purple egg who also went into his basket. Blotting his brow with a hankerchief he continued searching for eggs high and low.* SomethingGood Eiten nodded to himself, then lowered her down to the ground. For a second he thought his hand was going to slip, but he managed to hold onto her. He let go after she was safely on the ground, and took a step back. "Who should get it?" Pi-sama When Eden is finally in earth, healthy and saves, she is rotated toward Eiten and she smiles brilliantly. " keep it your Eiten, you have seen it" Eden says giving the egg carefully to Eiten, she thinks that it is the fair thing, Eiten found it her alone had helped to catch it.
SomethingGood Eiten smiled and took the egg carefully, placing it in his basket next to his bright orange egg. "Thanks." he said, picking his basket up. "Let's go look by the swings now. I don't see anyone looking there." he said with a nod, waiting for her before he started walking. Pi-sama Eden follows Eiten closely while she looks to her surroundings, while they go to the swings, something among some flowers gets her attention and she comes closer carefully to see what is it. For her surprise it is an light blue egg, she pick up the egg and run to show it to Eiten. " look Eiten i find a Light blue eggie" she sais so glad. SomethingGood Eiten looked around for Eden when he realized she wasn't following anymore, and blinked when she came running up to him. He smiled a bit when he saw the egg. He spotted something in the middle of the grass a bit away, then stopped walking for a moment. "One second." he said to Eden, holding up a finger, and taking off to the spot he saw. He dropped to his knees when he got to it, then picked up the light blue egg which was hidden in a little hole in the ground. He smiled to himself, then wiped it off on his shirt, and put it in his basket. He hopped to his feet and ran back to Eden, catching his breath. "Sorry about that." Pi-sama Eden stops immediately when Eiten tells it to her a little confused and she continues him carefully with the look until she understands that he can that he has also found a egg and she comes closer to see that color is it. when she see Eitne dropped in his knees she stoped and wait until she see Eiten ran to her then she smile. " Dont worrie Eiten i think this is a eggs, what is the egg color? mine is light blue" she ask so curios for the egg color. When she see that the egg is light blue too she said " wow is the same color this is a big coincidence" she is glad that Eiten find the same eggie that her. SomethingGood Eiten looked at their eggs, then raised his eyebrows. "Wow, that's weird....kind of cool, but weird." he said, looking at each of their eggs again. Once they got to the swings, he went over to one of the swings and sat down on it, looking around. "Where should we start?" he asked, looking around the large area and then up at Eden. Pi-sama Eden sits down in the swing of beside Eiten and she takes out her chocolate and she gives a bite, While she chews her chocolate she looks to her surroundings and she see a toboggan and she thinks that it is a good place where to begin. " What do you think of toboggan? " she ask point in toboggan direction. Eden rises of the swing and she goes resolved toward the toboggan when she arrives to the stairway of the toboggan she begins to look under and she finds a green egg. " See Eiten i find a green one, you can look for the end of toboggan" She suggests delighted. Bob Dobbs Chris, continued searching and felt his youthful face wrinkle up in deep thought. It was such a lovely day yet he knew he had to try and catch up. after all, there was a limited amount of eggs and he had such a late start at it. He was so deeply immersed in his own thoughts that he did not see the tree root jutting out crookedly from the ground. He waved his arms like a bird and tried to keep his balance. The next thing he knew, everything was spinning. when all settled down he found himself looking at the sky above. This is soo not dignified he thought as his pride stung at him like a splinter you could not see.
Getting up he dusted himself off and returned the fallen eggs to his basket. All he had to do was keep at it and it would all come out ok. Picking a small leaf with a twig attached out of his hair a blue spere shape caught his eye. Picking up the Blue egg and the pink egg under the root that tried to kill him they soon joined the others in his basket. He hoped noone had seen him just make a complete and utter arse of himself, that would be embarassing. For now he would just act as if nothing happened and hope for the best. All I have to do is be nonchalant he nodded to himself. Pi-sama  A new day had Dawned brilliant and sunny, A good symptom after the upset night that you step in the city, with the happiness of found to all the missing persons and the hope of forgetting the tragedy, Eden gets ready to continue with her caught the Easter eggs. This time to resolved to put on her Easter outfix, she is very cute with her bunny ears.
Eden goes toward the park hoping to find some more eggs since alone she was able to find four, once already in the park she begins to look for between a patch of wild flowers when something of color light purple catches her eye, carefully she separates the flowers, she doesn't want that they break they are very beautiful, and she finds an egg light purple, Eden is very happy her search begins well.
Bob Dobbs *Chris ended his little break and headed back to the easter egg hunt. He picked up his basket with his right hand and swirled the lollipop with the other. He was not all accustomed to sitting around and doing absolutely nothing however he did make an effort to refresh his soul. Reaching the grounds where the eggs were hidden again, he resumed searching at a more relaxed pace. After all it wasn't like the eggs were going anyplace, were they? Chris smiled inwardly at this and knew he was being silly.* SomethingGood Eiten yawned, and made his way to the park. He had his basket, the eggs he had found before the train wreck still inside. He rubbed at his eye while walking, still feeling achy and tired.
Once he had gotten to the park, he decided to take a break. He sat down on one of the benches, looking around sleepily. He rubbed at his aching neck, then set his basket down and leaned forward. He almost looked like he had fallen asleep. Pi-sama Eden continues with her search in the park when she see a figure in the distance in a bench. While she goes coming closer more to the figure, she notices that envelope is dozing in the bench. Suddenly she recognizes the figure like Eiten and she comes closer running to greet him .
" Eiten, Eiten..." She says and when she is in front of the bank she notices something brilliant near the bench, she comes closer careful to see an egg orange, She screeches happily and waking up Eiten.
SomethingGood Eiten woke with a small "Aah!", looking around frantically to see where the screech came from. When he saw it was only Eden, his body went limp, and he slid off the bench onto his knees. "Don't ever do that when I'm sleeping..." he panted, clutching a handfull of his shirt which was over his heart. Pi-sama Eden looks surprisingly at Eiten, without realizing that she is the one that had wakened up him and she asks him, " What Do? I dont do nothing" she rotates her head a little and she puts a finger in her cheek, wondering that she did. SomethingGood "You screamed." he said while pushing himself to his feet. He grabbed his basket up in his hand, then sighed. "I see you found an egg." he mumbled before yawning again. Pi-sama Eden looks sincerely at Eiten and she blushes a little, "I'm so sorry, didn't want to get scared" She says in a sad tone, looking toward their shoes, Eiten is her friend and she don't want to scare him neither that he is mad with her. SomethingGood "It's okay..." he said before yawning, attempting to hide his mouth with his arm. He hadn't really noticed her blush or that she seemed sad, since his eyes were watery from yawning so much. He rubbed at his eyes, then looked back at Eden. Pi-sama Eden continues looking toward her shoes, "you aren't mad with me, Eiten" Eden says while she lifts her head a little toward Eiten, when she see his face of dream, she feel some giggle, because his face is very amusing when he is sleepy. So that Eiten doesn't see she laughing, she separates her face a little toward a side and surprisingly she see a new light pink egg, she picks up it and she rotates their face now toward Eiten with a great and brilliant smile in her face. SomethingGood Eiten squinted a bit at Eden, his eyes still fuzzy. "Another egg?" he says in surprise. He shakes his head a bit and sighs, then starts to pace a bit in front of the bench. He wasn't entirely sure why he was doing it, but he needed to be doing something so he didn't fall asleep. Something caught his eye...an egg! It was hidden by one of the legs for the bench. He dropped to his knees, something he soon regretted for the pain he felt all over his body, but he still grabbed the egg and pulled himself up to sit on the bench. When he could look at the egg, he could tell it wasn't quite...the same as the others. He frowned while looking at it. It was white, and had a clover on it. "Huh..." he said quietly to himself, still looking over the egg. Pi-sama When Eden hears the expression of Eiten she comes closer from behind him and looking on his shoulder says, "Wow incredible egg, has a trevol, it will be an egg of the luck "She says with a charmed expression, her friend had found an egg incerible. Raja  Where had she gone?
The thought ran rampant through the red-head's brain as she scoured the streets with his eyes. The siblings had earlier been sitting in a park enjoying the new light of the day. Yes, now the sky was clear enough for souls to dare escaping from behind a book to explore. Exactly as they had done. The problem was that now he had lost her. Well not exactly. They'd stopped in a park to bask in the light of the day. Yurie had simply requested to explore around a bit more. He hadn't been so interested in it all, so instead took a seat on a bench to wait. Now the trouble was that she still remained gone.
Enough time had now passed that Zeral had leaft to hunt for her, but the problem persisted when a brief hunt turned up no younger sister.
That left him where he was now.
He wandered the streets and peered into each store anxiously, worry creasing his brow. She might not be in her right mind yet. The effects of having her memories sealed had seemed to fade upon her waking, but he couldn't shake the feeling that if he dared look away his single small object... He paused in his thoughts, his body mimicing the motion. No, not an object. Treasure, she was a treasure from his past. Something he dare not lose.
He couldn't imagine what he would do if something did happen to her. The previous nights events made one thing clear to him. Deadly clear. The worst could strike at any moment. And as much as Zeral tended to hate 'What if's and assumptions, he couldn't shake the fear that the past could repeat itself if he didn't prevent it.
It wasn't an irrational fear, nothing that drove him to a brink. No, he hid that quiet worry well, stuffing it away in some corner. At least when Yurie was around. Now though it was plain to see the trouble lining the boy's face as he turned from some sort of bakery.
Yes, he needed to find her before something happened.Agent Sinistra  Mmmm... Cookie... Those were the first words that had come to Kailey's mind.
He had been nibbling away at a cookie while standing in front of the window of the bakery. He'd come to the bakery when he realized that he was hungry and that there was very little else to do.
He ceased his nibbling when he had noticed someone approaching through the light reflection in the window.
He turned to see exactly who it was, hoping that it might be Novemeber. He was a little disappointed when it wasn't. Still, he couldn't help but think that the boy seemed to be troubled. It couldn't hurt to see what was wrong, could it?
"Hey there~!" He called out to Zeral with a smile. "What's going on?"Raja All at once the boy was jarred from the continuous circular logic the recent disaster had put him in. Someone was talking to him. The voice was vaguely familiar in the way where one knows they have heard it before, but simply cannot place where from. So completely carefree in it's manner. Very fitting to the face that came with it, or so Zeral thought as he finally bothered to inspect the sounds source.
He did recognize the lop eared boy after a moment though. He'd come across the rather interesting sight of a rabbit on the train briefly. No true interaction enough to justify immediate recollection of the voice. Which allowed the elf to excuse himself for his fault on that for a brief instant. Still he was blessed and cursed wasn't he? He didn't remember the ordeal either.
Zeral forced his face to become more blank, trying to hide the worry that wished so much to come out in a fountain of words. Yes, perhaps rampant emotion would like to run wild, but the boy was driven by logic. Something that would have little to do with the wild wishes that crept in at times like this.
"Hello.' Simple enough. If he spoke in such a way it was easier to mask the trouble that brewed beneath. Not to mention the fact he wasn't exactly the most social individual alive. Which made the next part more difficult. Did he want someone to know his problems? More people could suggest that it might be resolved sooner, but there was the issue of explaining it. "I'm just looking for my sister." Again, the most plain reply was best.
Though now that he mentioned his sister a thought occured. She would have adored this boy wouldn't she? What with the ears that drooped from his head in a similar fashion to the real bunnies. What an amusing coincidence. Agent Sinistra "You're just looking for your sister?" Kailey repeated questioningly. "Well... First... Did you check your pock-" He stopped midsentence. "Wait... No... That doesn't make any sense... Unless your sister's very small..." He murmured that last bit to himself.
He stopped talking for a moment and went back to nibbling on his cookie as he tried to think. A few seconds afterwards, he began to speak again.
"Well... What about where you put her last? Maybe she's there. I mean, if you're told to stay somewhere and you wonder off to do something, don't you usually go back to where you were before?Or if you've already checked there... What does she look like? Maybe I've seen her before!" He nodded vigerously.
He'd seen many people earlier when he had made his way to the bakery. There'd been that older blonde woman who'd gone out in a tight black miniskirt and matching black stillettos, a girl around his age that wore glasses and puke green shirt which clashed with the ugliest skirt he'd ever seen, and two girls who much younger that were running off to the park. Maybe his sister was one of them. Although he hoped it wasn't the one with ugly skirt.
If she was... Well... Maybe the other boy would be better off if his sister remained lost... Raja He nodded slightly to the question. Had he not just said that? The rabbit seemed to be just a bit dense. Which was proven all the more with the question that he asked. Well almost asked. Zeral had to admit he was relieved that the other boy wasn't that dense. Then again... he was beginning to wonder if the other even knew what a sister was.
"She would not fit in my pocket." There was a touch of annoyance in his voice as he spoke, needing to answer such a ridiculous question when he was in a hurry. Why did he even bother? Even if it was meant to help, and the best the rabbit could come up with(god he hoped it wasn't.) The point was that this wasn't doing any good to find Yurie.
Alright, now without a doubt this boy couldn't know what a sister was. He spoke as if his younger sibling was a thing almost. "She requested to go for a walk around a park." He answered simpling, once more checking his tone to mask the fact he found this rather poitnless now. "I thoroughly checked the entire park before assuming she must have seen something in the town that caught her attention."
Finally it seemed the rabbit had something useful to say though. Yes, she did like rabbits, maybe she'd seen this boy. "Her name is Yurie, she has long red hair, the same hue as mine." He indicated the length with his hand as he spoke. "She's about eight years old and is somewhat shy. Have you seen her?" He disliked the idea of his sister wandering the city on her own. Just the night before she was in sunch a daze, what if the effects where still lasting? That could be the very cause for her dissapearance. Agent Sinistra "Mmmm... So she'd have long red hair and short..." He thought for a moment as he ran through the list of people he'd seen again. Kailey began to nibble vigorously on his index finger, but after a minute, he stopped as a lightbulb went off in his head.
Just before he'd gone into the bakery, he'd seen somebody short, female, and with long red hair wave at him. He remembered waving back, but that was about it... But where had she gone off to?
"I think I may have seen her... Although I didn't really see where she went to. Although, I think there might be a candy shop nearby. Maybe she went there?" Kailey smiled and nodded.
"That'd be where I'd go if I was an eight year old." He stopped and then went on, talking more to himself than to Zeral. " Actually... I think I might go there next, since that's starting to sound good to me!" He laughed with glee. Raja Zeral watched the lop-eared boy perform his odd display for a moment while thinking. Then a pause, and slight hope for ending this chase ended. Which was dashed almost as quickly as it shone. "Where was she when you thought you saw her?" He wasn't about to give up on the only chance hint he'd been given.
Then the suggestion. "A candy shop..?" He frowned slightly, shaking his head. He doubted she'd be there, generally she wouldn't be drawn to such things. Still, he was willing to try just about any place. If his fears were true she could be anywhere. "Then again, she might be. I'm not sure what she would be doing right now."
Yes, there was also the possibility she'd been curious about this new town. He hadn't the faintest idea what might have possessed her to not tell him she was going off exploring, for if she had he wouldn't be worrying now. It was purely the fact he had no idea what she was doing that had the elf in this state.
"Anywhere would be a good start I suppose." He added, eyeing the rabbit. "Would you be able to direct me toward this candy shop, I've yet to learn my way around town." Agent Sinistra "Show you around? Sure~!" He chirpped with glee. It'd be nice to have someone else to be with if only for a short while.
"And I saw her when I was on my way here... I think it was right before I crossed the street to get over here... I'm Kailey, by the way." He beemed happily and quickly offered a hand to Zeral.
"I think the shop's only a block or two away." He nodded his head. "Of course, I might not be right, since I haven't been in town very long either..." Raja That was exactly what he'd meant, but it would do. Though, he made a note to get himself some sort of town map soon and memorize it. He didn't wish to need help getting around in the future.
"Oh, so it wasn't too long ago." He replied, once more thinking he had a chance to end this hunt. He'd rather have chosen a quiet place to rest, to deal with his thoughts in peace. Now he was forced to talk with this... Kailey. That's what he said his name was.
It wasn't as if the rabbit was unpleasant, simply that at the moment all things seemed complicated and troublesome to him. He wanted to sort out the contrasting feelings he had about the wreck, this new town, about everything at the moment.
His sister simply ranked above all of those worries until he knew she was safe and in one piece. As long as she knew what she was doing he'd be fine to retire back to a bench in silence.
"My name is Zeral, Zeral Exel." He shook the bunny's hand after it was offered. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Kailey." Yes, now he was no longer walking blindly. At times having another's assistance toward a goal was useful. Thus for now he would be tolerant of this boy, pushing aside the dark memories of the previous day.
"Well then let us be off." He didn't like the last few things that where spoken, but he didn't have much of a choice. At least Kailey knew where he was going to some extent? Zeral wasn't one to stray from the truth, which was that he was running blind in this new town. "It's more of an idea than I have. So we shall go with your hunch." Agent Sinistra "All right! And nice to meet you, Zeral." Kailey nodded before leading the way.
Kailey grew quiet for a while, mostly looking around at the various stores that were around, just in case Yurie was still wandering and not at the candy shop. So far, he didn't see any one in the small boutiques that he'd passed.
"You seem really anxious over her disappearance... Did something really bad happen to you two before you came here? I can understand being worried about not knowing where she might be, but you kinda feel really... well... distressed over this. Or maybe that's just me." He shrugged. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Raja He followed along after the other in silence, content simply to hunt each window for signs of his sister. Though none came, each of the quaint shops was filled with individuals going about their business. That was all well, but not what he was on his excursion for.
His gaze returned from another empty window to the rabbit at the words, lips parting slightly in surprise. Was it that obvious something was troubling him beyond his sister wandering off? Perhaps that in itself was the reason for her disapearance. Had she sensed his distress?
Zeral quickly pushed his face back into it's neutral state even as the thoughts buzzed about in his mind, questioning the many faults he might have made. "This is a new town, I'm merely worried that she will become lost." He replied, sidestepping around the true matter.
No one could know. Kailey obviously didn't remember, which meant no one would. If that was the case he could protect his sister from this dark memory as well. So long as no one else knew of it, no one could tell. Though even that idea was dashed quickly. Two people knew. He closed his eyes recalling the pevious evening. Those two, he had told them about it in a rush. They knew the details that where important. He'd need to speak with them in time regarding that. Perhaps he could aquire a promise of secrecy. Agent Sinistra "Oh... I guess that makes sense." He sounded a bit disbelieving, or at the very least disappointed that he didn't learn some sordid secret about Zeral's past. Sure, he hadn't been expecting to learn much of anything, especially since he'd only learned the other boy's name only a few minutes ago; but that didn't mean that he wasn't disappointed.
After they'd walked straight for about a block, Kailey stopped and took a quick look around. This was followed by a quick turn to the left. Near the end of the block was what looked to be a brightly colored store, with a white and pastel pink store front. Kailey grinned and pointed at it.
"I believe that'd be it. If she's not there, we can probably ask if anyone in there has seen her or ask how to get to someplace else she might go to." Raja He nodded to the other, ignoring the hint in the other's voice. There was no need to make note of it. Nothing good would come of making a scene over it, as well as any further facts for the rabbit. It would stand as it was. He just wanted to find his sister.
Besides, if he didn't intend to divulge these secrets to the person closests to him, his sibling, what chance did a new acquaintance have of extracting more than a few details from him? Even more so his state of mind left him with the urge to turn people away, to avoid them. He was not the most social person by nature, and now all the more he desired no company but his own.
Both eyes turned to the store as it came into view. the very embodiment of a child's desires. Bright colors that drew you to them, quite cheery and inviting. Definitely what one might expect form the kind of establishment it was. "Yes, that sounds like a good idea." He replied, stepping into the shop as they made it to the entrance. His eyes scanning the area for Yurie. "I don't think she's here." It came out as more of a forlorn sigh than speech as he started for the counter.
There was still the chance the shopkeeper had seen her. Agent Sinistra "Oooo..." Kailey had nodded to Zeral, to show that he had heard what had been said. He then went on to investigate the sweets inside.
He looked absolutely enraptured by the contents in the glass casing and hovered over a display of fudge. He knew that he shouldn't buy any, especially after having bought a cookie, but... well... How could he say no to his sweet tooth? Besides... He could justify buying some and give some to Zeral and his sister (once she was found, of course).
"I'd like three peices of that!" He announced to the shopkeeper, pointing at the fudge he'd been hovering over. "And he's looking for his sister. She's short and has long red hair like his." Kailey then pointed over at Zeral. "Have you seen anyone like that around here?" Raja Zeral might have asked for himself, though was saved from the duty of speech as the rabbit piped up. Fudge? They weren't here for sweets. Obviously Kailey had had an ulterior motive to suggesting this shop as a place to look, or so it seemed. Still, he held his tongue as the more important words were spoken, his gaze turning up to the shop keeper for some response.
The keeper seemed to be taking account of him while attempting to recall the numerous amounts of children he must see. Perhaps it was too much to ask for someone to remember each face they see briefly. This place was far more populated than his previous home. Yes, it was all entirely different. The people, the environment, the events that played out. It was all rather bizarre to him, but with time it would become clear. It would become part of his nature to see it as normal. Until that time he had some small familiarities to hold onto. Once he found them of course.
"Her name is Yurie, perhaps she stopped in here?" He inquired in an attempt to prompt some reply. Hopefully something beyond the rabbit getting his sugar fix handed to him.
There was a brief headshake after what seemed an eternity passed. In all reality he knew it was only a few seconds before the shopkeeper realized he hadn't seen a girl that followed the description given. Then busied himself with filling Kailey's order. (End on pg. 1144)

Agent Sinistra Well, Kailey had suggested the candy shop based on what an 8 year old Kailey would have liked. And it just so happened that 8 year old Kailey's tastes weren't entirely too differently from 15 year old Kailey's tastes.
Kailey quickly paid for his order and accepted his bit of fudge. He took out a peice and began to lightly nibble on it.
"All right, so she's not here... What other places might she like to go to? Maybe the shop keeper might have some suggestions for places to check."
This was followed by Kailey smiling and handing over the remaining peices of fudge to Zeral.
"For you and your sister, once you're back together." Raja From what Zeral had seen the rabbit quite liked sweets, and so the assumption came. Then again, assuming anything was bad. He could easily be wrong when basing things off his feelings to actions, hearing the exact truth from the other would have done far better. On a normal day he might have been tempted to inquire about the rabbit's own opinion on the matter, but today was business. Yes, he could not allow himself to forget.
He turned away from the counter as Kailey was paying for the sweets, stepping toward the door as a few last words were spoken. Then he was walking over again and holding out the bag as if it was an offering while speaking further. "For Yurie, and I?" He said quietly, managing a small grateful smile. "I'm sure she will enjoy that." Moreso if he said it was from a rabbit. She'd be delighted with that idea, wouldn't she? "Thank you very much, Kailey."
He took the bag and held it in one hand before pushing the door open. "I'm not certain what kind of shops might be here... She might have found a flower shop, or perhaps a pet shop." He said thinking of likely locations for his sister. Pausing to look at the older boy. "Do you know if there is a one of those shops nearby?" Or perhaps a nice quiet hill in the sun. No, she wouldn't have wandered out of the town. If she wanted to sit on the grass she would have remained in the park. It must be a shop somewhere. Agent Sinistra "Well... I know there's a flower shop somewhere, since I thought I thought I might have seen one when I was walking around town... I don't remember where it is, though..." He looked a bit sheepish when he said that.
"As far as a pet shop... I have no idea. Sorry...." Raja Hmm... A shop somewhere. The question was where. He looked around the street in silence, scanning for any particular sign that ight suggest it's whereabouts. "Then we can start with looking for it." He began walking down the street, but paused.
"Which direction do you think it might be in? If you can't remember, we can go in the direction you came from, Kailey." He didn't have any idea which way the rabbit would have come in, so he paused waiting for the reply. continuing to be on alert for any sign of his sister. He really hoped she hadn't gotten lost. It was a new town after all, neither knew their way around. cherubim kitty  The black-haired child entered the town in a daze. Earlier, she had been super excited about getting the chance to look for brightly colored (and nicely decorated) eggs. Unfortunately, as she neared the town, Veruvi was greeted with news of a horrible train wreck that had happened while she wasn't paying attention. She meandered through the town looking around to see if there was any major damage or anything she could help out with.
After a while she noticed to people she didn't quite recognize a little ways ahead of her. It seemed the two strangers were looking for something, maybe she could help out.
Veruvi waved to them to catch their attention as she approached them, "Excuse me? Are you looking for something? Maybe I could try and help you."Agent Sinistra Kailey looked around for a moment to figure out exactly which direction he'd come from. "All right... Well... I came from that direction I think..."
Kailey pointed straight down the street. "At least, I think that's the way I came..." He wasn't quite so sure any more as to which way he came.
"Oh! Can you help us? We're trying to find a flower shop or a pet store!" Kailey grinned when this new girl had suddenly appeared. Raja "You think?" He asked questioningly, quirking an eyebrow. He was beginning to debate if the rabbit's help was doing much good. So far all it had achieved was ending up with fudge, and Zeral wasn't particularly fond of sweets. So that didn't amount to much. He was about to comment further on going on such flimsy leads when the new girl approached them.
This brought two things to mind. One, that he hoped she wouldn't be as clueless as Kailey appeared to be. The second that maybe she had seen his sister?
"Yes, actually we are." He started as soon as the other boy finished. "that is, if you haven't seen a young girl, about eight. she has long wavey red-hair similar to mine." He added, glancing at the bunny. The flower shop was only a guess, not the main objective. He really wanted to return to resting and making the evenings event more rational, oncehe'd done that it would no longer bother him. It wasn't as bad as what had happened before, so he just needed time to write it down. Then it would be done. "She's my sister actually, I want to make sure she's not lost." cherubim kitty Veruvi smiled glad to be of help, "Well, the flower shop should be in that direction." She pointed down a ways down the street, "I'm not sure about the pet shop though. I haven't been to many places around town yet. I'm kind of new here too." The girl looked down sadly, "and I'm sorry I haven't seen your sister. I just got into town a few moments ago, and you were the first people I saw. We should go look for her, but the people here are really nice so I think she'd be safe even if your sister was lost." Veruvi stated reassuringly. Being lost wasn't fun buisness, but she'd met some of the people around town and they were very nice people living here. "Oh! By the way. My name is Veruvi. Nice to meet you."
