Akkhima  Erin was just finishing up getting dressed to go out Easter Egg hunting when he saw rain start to splash gently against his window. He sighed, dissapointed, as the rain would probably cause everyone to stay inside. Since it would probably be a bit chilly out now that the sun had gone, he wrapped his new scarf around his neck and grabbed an umbrella from his closet as he decided to head out to see if maybe someone was still around.
As he was heading downstairs, he heard a distant echo of a horrid screeching sound. He snapped to attention and ran down the remainder of the steps, opening his umbrella as he stpped out the front door. He could immediately see the billowing smoke behind the train station through the pouring rain, so he began to run to the scene to see what he could do to help.Pi-sama  Eden this in the park when she listens that happened in the train by chance. Eden stays in shock she doesn't know that to make she wants to help, she knows like it feels when somebody is lost and alone, without thinking a lot in it she leaves running toward her house to pick up some things go to look for the children. She looks for for their house useful things until she finds an umbrella, a lantern and a sound amplified whistle.That will be she very useful it also picks up a small bag full with marbles.
Once already prepared Eden goes toward the train station. Eden arrives at the station and she decides to follow the roads of the train up to where had been the accident. When she arrives more or less to the height she find a devastating landscape, the destroyed roads, irons everywhere and the burned forest, Eden feels very sad and she wants to cry but she has to be strong, she has to find some lost childrens. Eden doesn't want them to pass this that her pass when she was lost in the forest.Pi-sama Eden decides to head toward the forest but before entering in the black thickness, she remembers the tale of the lost children and she opens the bag of the marbles and when she begins to enter she allows to fall one, Eden think " this won't be able to eat up the birds and if I illuminate with my lantern it shone". The wind blows very strong and every time it rains stronger, the forest is terrifying and the wind makes that the trees move in a strange way that they make thrilling shades. In a moment of weakness Eden is terrified and she curls up under a tree sustaining her tight legs against its chest and crying, when she remembers the small children that should be more terrified than her and her value grows inside her again and with herright hand she clean her tears. Akkhima  Erin approached a man who looked like he might be in charge. "Sir, excuse me, but what can I do to help?" Erin pleaded. The man looked suprised, but turned towards him and handed him a flashlight and a whistle. Erin accepted them eagerly, and tested the button on the flashlight to make sure it worked while the man explained.
"There were 15 children in the last car of the train who have gone missing. We think they're hiding, scared, around the town. Please, hurry, and find them. If you find one, blow the whistle, and someone will come right away." The man nodded to him, confirming his assignment, and went off to instruct some others.
Erin took off running, not knowing where to go first, just knowing that he had to find the children. He knew they would be absolutely frightened, being in a strange place, alone in the rain, after just being trough a train accident. Any one of those alone would be devastating to some children, any child would be shaken going through all three. Britain  Standing by himself in the rain, Seon's eyes narrowed as he took in the situation. People were running everywhere, some panicked, some simply afraid, some too exhausted and worn from the experience to show either emotion. The boy had already claimed an umbrella from the volunteers handing them out, and he stood watching them with neutral eyes.
He was supposed to meet Winston out here. Supposed to have fun at a festival. He was wearing a white shirt and RIBBONS, of all things, and he'd even been looking forward to it...but this was certainly going to change their plans. There were lots of people out there looking, now, too many hands in the way- he didn't think helping would really change the situation very much.
He sighed, and glanced around for Winston. He was getting chilled- he hoped the other boy wasn't soaked and making himself sick out in this rain.Ogre  Winston was running through the street, umbrella in hand. He'd picked it up earlier once he'd spotted the group handing them out and felt the gust of cold wet air from the rain that was pouring into the streets. Not very festive, along with the tragedy that had struck the train it was turning into a rather scary time. It was dark outside, so he carried one of the flashlights given to him by the same people with the umbrella- they'd also passed him a whistle in case he found survivors or ran into something horrible. He shook his head, casting those thoughts aside as he darted across the street towards the front area of the festival park. He slowed his steps, realizing water had finally soaked through his shoes. Sighing, he looked up to scan the gathered people again. He'd been looking for Seon during his search, wondering if he stayed home because of the storm... or had ventured out anyway. He spotted a red head, ears perking. "Seon?" Britain Flame-colored eyes rose, and Seon tilted his head slightly as he peered at Winston. Ah, there he was. One hand in his pocket and the other holding the umbrella, the boy examined his friend and shook his head.
"You're going to get sick, Winston. What are you doing right now...? I've heard the whole story, there's people missing and dead and wounded and all manner of such terrible things."
His voice stayed neutral, gaze shifting to watch the people around them walk by. Ogre Win came to stand beside him, using his own umbrella to add extra rain sheilding. "I was looking for you- and survivors of course. There's a school group missing... everyones out looking. I've got a flashlight and a whistle... You can help me!" He offered a slight smile, noticing his brighter clothes. "You dressed for easter." ^____^ Britain "I made the attempt, much good as it does." How had he KNOWN Winston would want to be involved in the rescue efforts? That was so typical...Winston could be so good at heart, and sometimes so naive. But if no one went with him, he might get lost himself for all Seon knew; he was starting to feel slightly responsible for the other boy.
With a sigh, he retrieved a flashlight from one of the volunteers and flicked it on. Now that he was involved in this crazy mission, he started thinking about it a bit harder; he tucked a bit of red hair behind his ear, frowning slightly. "I suppose I might as well. If you were a lost child who had just been in a train wreck, where would you go?"
His eyes travelled over all of the buildings nearby, nodding slightly. "Someplace sheltered, I think...warm and welcoming. Someplace safe." Ogre "They're from a school... I think." Winston glanced at him, hefting his flashlight. "Maybe they went there... or the library. Aren't the doors always open?" He turned to look back at his friend, eyebrows raised- ears perked as he listened through the sounds of rain. Britain Seon considered this for a moment, then nodded. The library DID seem like a safe place, and it wasn't too far away...a good choice. He could think of several other places, too, but they had time- and chances were the students were all over the place.
He lead the way to the library, making sure Winston was with him and not lost in the people and the rain. Once inside the doors, he carefully closed his umbrella and looked around- shivering. It was cold, after you'd been out in the rain!
"Hello?" He called, ears perked for an answering voice or sound of movement. tyrranticus  Perking his ears, Zeral caught sight of the two boys across from him. Gently pushing his napping sister off his lap. The elf approaches them with his flaming eyes glittering in the dark.
Stopping a few feet in front of the pair of boys, he cocks his head to the side with a puzzled expression. He sighs, offering his hand out for a friendly handshake. "Hello, my name is Zeral Exel. And you two are...?"Akkhima Erin's clothes were quickly getting soaked as he ran, even with the umbrella held above him. Water splashed from the puddles that were quickly forming in the streets, and his own forward momentum was colliding him with millions of rain droplets. He tried to think of a place where a child like himself might go if they were lost and scared. Suddenly, right infront of him stood the answer--the toy store. He stopped running and panted heavily as he flipped on the switch of his flashlight. Moving it around slowly, he searched for any person huddled or hiding around the shop. Ogre Winston's eyes lit up, excited that they'd actually found someone at the first stop. "Hello!" He stepped forward after setting his umbrella aside, ears raised at the voice. "Are you alright! My name is Winston." He set the flash light aside, so as to not FLASH it at the other boy. Britain Seon took the other boy's hand, eyebrows up- how strange, that the first children they found were so much like him! "My name is Seon Avil," he murmured, head nodding once to give the impression of a graceful bow.
He looked past the boy, noting the presence of the girl. "We are looking for students from the train wreck. Were you- and the lady there- involved in it?" tyrranticus Shaking Seon's hand firmly, Zeral loosed his grip gently and returned his hand to his pocket.
"Unfortunately yes... Thankfully we are both fine. That girl there," declares Zeral as he made a motion with his free hand indicating where his sister was. "She's my sister, her name is Yurie."
"I think," said Zeral, furrowing his brows. "I am the only one that knows what happened."
reply to erin:
 A young light blue haired dog boy sleeps gently in the corner of the store among the piles and piles of plushed animals. Ogre Winston's eyebrow raised, ears laying back into his hair. His tail was swishing nervously, smacking against Seon's leg and the shelf at his sides. "What happened? It wasn't an accident?" His eyes flickered to the sleeping girl, then back at Zeral. "Is she okay, too? If you're hurt.. there's lots of volunteers outside to help..." Britain Once his hand was free, Seon shifted it to rest on Winston's shoulder, reassuring the other boy. He ran his other hand through his own crimson hair, eyes sharp as they watched Zeral.
"Tell us what happened," he said, voice low and calm. "Certainly, if there is something that can be done, we will find the proper authorities." Akkhima As Erin walked up closer to the shop and shined his light in through the window, he noticed a boy that he didn't recognize sleeping in the toy shop. He deduced that this must be one of the missing children, so he entered the shop and went up to him and gently shook his shoulder, trying to wake him. He looked around for the shopkeeper, but they didn't seem to be around. They must have left their shop in a hurry, trying to help as well, not realizing that leaving the shop door open let in one of the very children they were out shearching for.
Erin shook the boy's shoulder again and spoke to him, "Hey! Are you alright! Everyone's worried about you." tyrranticus Replying to Erin first since it's shorter:
Drake was dead asleep and showed no signs of waking up. tyrranticus "During the crash, one of the students got decapitated by a flying object. Our supervising teacher, Mr. Lerrington, erased everybody's memories because of Ilium's death because he probably thought it was too traumatic. But I..." said Zeral as he points to himself. "I'm immune to all spells, so I still remember. After he placed the spell, everybody had a blank look on their face and started wandering out of the cart one by one, almost zombie like. I think this is just a side effect of the spell, I was worried that my sister may get hurt wandering around like that so I followed her since stopping her wandering may have ill effects. Eventually she stopped where she is now and just fell asleep, I don't think it's possible to wake her for a long time since her mind is probably still recovering from the shock of having a memory sealed."
"I didn't stay long enough near the cart to really see what happened to Mr. Lerrington and Ilium but I think... Mr. Lerrington gave his life and body to his Erement in turn for Ilium's revival and erasing everybody's memories since I saw Ilium stumble out the train in the same manner not long after, " he finished with his head low and biting his lip. Raising his head and looking at Winston and Seon with a worried face, Zeral asked, "Did you guys find anybody else?" Twiddledumb  Engle is still sleeping when the commotion was going on. Just then, a loud whistling wakes him up. "What the..." he said with a slight yawn,sat up on his bed and rubbed his eyes. He stood up and started walking to his wardrobe. His little hamster ears picks up the pitter-patter of the rain and a smile appears on his face. He got his clothes reading and went for the bathroom.
After getting squeaky clean, he got out and went downstair, to the living room. He switched on the television and it was the news channel. "15 Kids from Mieven , have gone missing after a train mysteriously crashed in town earlier today. 3 of the kids have been found and everybody is frantically finding for the re...". Before the news ended, Engle switched the television off and went to the shelves to search for something. He dug frantically for a whistle and a torchlight, he was going out to look for the kids. "Where can they be..." he said to himself, still busily looking for the item.
After sometime, he found them and put it in his sling bag which was lying beside the shelves. He got his MP3 player out and put on the ear phone. He put the machine into his bag and went outside. The rain hit his face softly, soaking his whole body wet. He started walking towards the Music shop which was three blocks down the street. He went inside and started looking through the instrument, the shelves of music sheets. It was dark and no one was inside.Ogre Winston froze, pale. His ears were PASTED to his hair, tail dropping. How ... horrible! He couldn't help but imagine what that must have been like and ended up freaking himself out. One hand came up to his face, stepping backwards. "There are zombie children running around the town?!" He shook his head, hands raised to flail slightly. "What are we gonna DO?!" Akkhima Erin shook the boy again, and spoke louder, "Hey, hey wake up!" but the boy showed no signs of waking. Erin put his hand in front of the boy's mouth, and he was definitely breathing, almost snoring. The panic must have worn him out thoroughly.
Erin left the boy's side and went to stand on the front step of the shop, just out of the rain. He took in a deep breath and blew hard on the whistle he had been provided. When he ran out of air, he took in a breath again and blew once more, this time two shorter shrieks followed by a final long shrill. He stayed in the doorway, keeping one eye on the sleeping boy, and the other eye out for an adult that could take care of him. Twiddledumb "I guess nobody's here..." He gave a little frown and exits the shop. He started walking past shops, all of them are empty. Everyone is busy looking for the missing children. After walking down sometime, he reached the Clothes shop. "Hopes some little fashion freak is inside...." he mummbled softly. He went inside and was shocked. Rows and Rows of clothes all around. There are space to hide for at least 8 kids. "Hello? Anyone here?" Britain Urk. Magic. Seon wasn't very good at magic. He didn't LIKE magic. This was the kind of thing he usually avoided at all costs, and left in the hands of those who could handle it better.
The one thing he WAS good at, however, was taking charge and handling situations that came up and caused problems.
He turned to Winston first, putting both hands on his friend's shoulders and shaking him slightly. "Winston, you MUST calm down. Something terrible has happened, and now we must do what we can to help- you cannot panic. I need you to help me in this, so please take a deep breath- and think about something you can focus on."
The flame-haired boy looked back at Zeral, frown firmly in place. "I am no mage. We need to find one of the teachers, or someone who will listen to us and take the necessary steps to make sure everyone is alright. First, I think, we need to get your sister somewhere safe." tyrranticus (to akki: Nathaniel will help Erin bring Drake back)
to hyo/twiddle:
 Behind the shop's counter, lies a small hamster girl named Milly, peacefully sleeping. Twiddledumb "Mills? What are you doing here!" Engle said and started running to the counter. His sister is fast asleep on the counter,"Come on, wake up..." he said softly and started shaking his sister, hoping she will wake up. "Don't scare me like this...please..." Tears started flowling down Engle's cheeks and dripping onto the floor. Although his sister can be irritating at times, but he still love her alot. tyrranticus Wrinkling his brows, Zeral looked at Winston oddly and said, "Well they aren't zombies and I saw Ilium come out in one piece, as if the decapitation didn't happen. Anyways, I agree with Seon's decision but I'm afraid of the side effects that disturbing her sleep would have so I think I'll just stay here and watch over her for now. You guys should go along and find the others before it gets too late."
Getting up from the chair, Zeral leaned forward and asked, "Would you guys happen to have anything that I could use to alert others if something happens?" [ astra ]  Nate had been wandering around, heading towards the toy shop, mulling over the lost children and wondering if he should try and help find them, even if he wasn't so good with panicking kids.
He turned a corner, and continued walking, ready to bypass it when he heard the whistle bursts coming from inside the shop. He remembered being told that kids blew whistles when they found a lost child, and dashed inside, looking worried. He spotted a boy in a helmet who held the whistle he heard, as well as a sleeping child in blues who he assumed was a missing one.
"Wow, you found one!" Nate walked over to the boy, and looked down at the curled figure. "You need help getting back to the station?"tyrranticus Letting out a slight snore, Mills rolls to another side of the counter and continues sleeping. SomethingGood "Hey!" Eiten shouted after Eden when she ran off. He looked around, mumbling a 'dammit' to himself before taking off at a run for his home.
He skid to a stop outside his house, soaking wet, and went inside quickly. He ran to his room and dropped his easter basket without even thinking. He dug around the desk in his room, trying to keep his wet hair out of his eyes while he did so. It was hard enough keeping it out of his eyes when it wasn't soaking wet. He finally found what he was looking for. A whistle, and a flashlight. He quickly put the whistle's chain around his neck, keeping the flashlight in hand, and went to look for an umbrella in his closet. He pulled out an old umbrella covered with layers of dust, but he ignored it and ran out of his room and back outside. A dusty umbrella was better than no umbrella.
He ran to the station first, to check how bad it was. His eye twitched when he saw it, but he didn't stay long. He ran off to the forest since he'd seen Eden go that way. He stopped in his tracks when he stepped on something hard, that didn't seem like a rock. When he lifted his foot, he saw it was a marble. He looked up, then around him, and saw that it was a trail....could it be Eden? He wondered. Without another thought, he followed the trail until he heard crying. He took out his flashlight and looked around. "Eden?!" he called, resting the umbrella's pole on his shoulder while he looked around. Ogre Win nodded, calming down. "Sorry..." He fidgetted, shifting from foot to foot. "Oh, I have this whistle! I'll be right back." He darted outside, onto the sidewalk and began to blow on the whistle to summon help. Twiddledumb "Dang...So lazy..." He gave a slight giggle and got out his whistle. He went outside the shop, took in a big breath and blow into the whistle. It gave a loud shrieking sound. Soon, his breath ran out and he stopped. Engle took in another breath and blow into the whistle. "Hope somebody comes and find." he says softly, standing guard outside the shop. Akkhima "Nate! Thank goodness you're here. This boy won't wake up. And he's too much for me to carry him. Can you take him back to the station?" Erin kept calm and cool, but he was really worried inside. He had never had to deal with this kind of situation before. He wanted to have the solution himself, but he just didn't know this time. So for now, he determined it was his job to act brave for those around him. "Do you think we both need to carry him, or can you take him yourself?" [ The Fool ]  Pacing herself in worry, Cybille was waiting patiently for the slightest hope of a whistle. That day had not gone well, just as she was about to return to the clinic to finish off some filing. Her ears picked up the horrendous sounds of train wheels scratching against the bars which were meant to hold them down and immediately raced against time to see what had happened. Her expression filled with shock, much like the other people who had made their way to the train station, as her eyes darted back and forth at the wreckage. The last time she heard, a cart full of children had been lost, either hiding or possibly dead from growing weak.
She carried hold onto an umbrella, walking through the streets as she kept her attention fully on any high pitched squeaks coming out from the buildings. A flash light was grasped tightly between her free hand as it every so often banged against the shiny material of the whistle hanging out her pocket. It was devasting. The atmosphere perfectly matched the incident and half of her wondered whether the Gods up there were mocking them.
Quivering in her current state, the nurse stopped in her ground as she tilted her head out from beneath the black shelther. The droplets of water splattered onto her face, trickling down her cheeks and her neck. How long had it been since something like this happened? Not during her life time most definately. The thought of youthful corpses haunted her mind as she tried to gain her balance back, hoping to not fall over to the hard, wet ground.
Suddenly, a shirek managed to reach her ears and she ran towards the direction of where it came from. There, a clouded figure appeared standing outside the shop and it turned out to be the hamster boy. "Engle!" Cybille called out, waving her hand which grabbed onto the torch frantically. "Did you find someone?" Her pants grew deeper as her running slowly became to a fast walk then a stop.Britain Seon watched Winston, nodding once- that was what they were supposed to do, after all. Two down out of fifteen would likely make people a little relieved. Turning his attention back to Zeral, he leaned on his closed umbrella.
"You should be alright, with help on the way. We can leave the whistle with you, just in case, and pick up another in case we find others." He smiled at the other boy, ears twitching a little at the shrill aound of the whistle. "I do wish you and your sister the best. Perhaps we can meet again some other time-under more pleasant circumstances." Chienism  November Bomber snapped out of his daze at the shrill scream of a whistle: someone was found. Shrugging off the blanket he was handed, he signaled at the rescuers that saved him. Only half an hour before, November was gingerly being lifted from the train wreck. Fortunately, he was protected quite well by a small cage made by a dining booth with a snack cart pressed against the side of the table. He recovered quickly after a few cups of hot water and a few bites of bread.
Dashing towards the sound of the whistle-- somewhere deep in the foreign town-- November ignored the sting of his bandaged leg and prayed that the child was okay. He tightly clutched the first-aid pack against his fluttering heart.
He stopped at a shop of some kind, relieved to see a survivor.Twiddledumb "Cybille, thank goodness you are here. I found my sister, Milly. She is sleeping inside right now. Come on." Engle shouted and went inside the shop. Engle waited beside her sister for Cybille to come in, wrapping a few clothes around her to keep her warm. tyrranticus "Indeed, I hope to see you two again two. Maybe even at Seara? I assume that you both go there?," said Zeral as he took the whistle from Seon with a smile."Thankyou for the whistle. I'll wait for the volunteers to come over and help, you guys should go find more people."
Zeral trotted back to where his sister slept and settled himself down beside her, ready to wait for the volunteered help. [ The Fool ] The words hit her fully. His sister? Cybille nodded her head and followed suit to find a somewhat identical face having its eyes closed. Blinking for a few moments, she leaned down to check whether she was alright, only to find that the girl was just asleep. Her skin was cold but her temperature was just right to be well. "Miss?" She shook the smaller female's body gently, trying to get her to awaken. Otherwise it would be a little harder for them to carry her out of the shop and back to train station. [ astra ]
Nate nodded cheerfully. "Nah, I got it, Erin!" He grinned widely, trying to let his over abundance of enthusiasm help cheer the poor kid up.
Nathaniel studied the boy of blues, and finally stated, "He doesn't look very heavy at all, I can definitely carry him." He gave Erin another grin before he sat on the ground, and gently pulled the sleeping boy into a sitting position, and draped his arms over his own shoulders. Standing and grasping under the child's legs, he was now ready to give the poor kid a piggyback ride. Nate wasn't worried about this kid, because he seemed entirely unscathed and rather peacefully asleep, but did feel rather frantic for the others, and hoped they had also been found.Twiddledumb "It's no use Cybille, I tried shaking her too but she just won't wake up. Maybe there is something in here that can help carry her to the police station." Engle said and started looking around the shop. He searched the stacks of clothes but still found nothing. [ The Fool ] "I... see. Here, take my things, I'll manage." Cybille handed Engle the stuff she was holding before positioning herself, ready to piggy back his sister. Backing out, she took hold of the smaller arms and wrapped it around her neck before standing up fully, using her hands to support her lower body from sliding off. The nurse had experience from carrying children around shorter distance, but she was quite glad that Milly did not weigh too much. Gesturing towards the outside of the shop, she pointed out for Engle to hold the umbrella above his sibling, just in case she was to catch a cold while they made their way back to the train station. Twiddledumb Engle grabbed tightly onto Cybille's bag and open up the umbrella. He followed Cybille down the street, the rain hitting the umbrella lightly. "So what is going to happen after we bring her to the police station?" Akkhima "Thanks Nate!" Erin smiled, feeling relieved from Nate's help. "I'll see if I can find anyone else. I'm sure there are more out there." He exited the store and opened his umbrella, not sure how much good it would do now that his nice Easter outfit was soaked through. His initial rush of adrenaline had left his body, but he was still determined to help find the rest of the children. He headed down the row of buildings to the next store, running his flashlight beam along the foundations of the buildings in case a child was laying there. [ The Fool ] Tending her eyes onto their destination, she ignored how wet she was getting, seeing how the umbrellla could not possibly fit three people. Cybille gave off a sigh and looked over her shoulder for a second, just to reply back to him before turning around. "I believe they will check and ask them questions as to what happened." Twiddledumb "But...How would they ask Mills question if she is asleep now?" He asked as he shifted the bag slightly so it wouldn't make his shoulder sore as much. "So do we go find other kids after we left her at the station?" [ The Fool ] "They will let her have her rest, and wait till she gets up." She answered almost immediately, a little annoyed and yet neutral. Pausing just for a split second to see a passing car rush by, Cybille muttered about how inconsiderate some of the townspeople were. Another rescuer could make a difference, but they obviously did not care about others' lives apart from their own. "Yes, unless you want to stay with your sister the entire time." Twiddledumb "I think I will help to find the other kids." He says softly and continue walking. Soon, the police station was insight. "I guess the stop is right there." he says and pointed towards the station. The rain got heavier and heavier but he didn't mind. [ The Fool ] "Good to hear that." Cybille blankly stated before stepping foot into the station after being pointed out that they were there. Setting the girl onto one of the cushions placed for survivors to rest upon, she waved on towards a man who came running by her side. Explaining the situation, he nodded his head and made his way back to one of the aid booths, grabbing hold onto food and water for Milly, whenever she did wake up from her slumber. Twiddledumb Engle sits down on the couch and gave a sigh. "So , now what?" He said and gave a slight sneeze. "I guess I caught a cold..heheh" Bob Dobbs *Chris stopped collecting eggs when he heard something about a train wreck and some missing kids. Some passer-bye's were discussing it as they rushed passed. He should help, it was the right thing to do. Grabbing a flashlight and a whistle from a supply store, he paid fast and left. Too bad they were out of umbrella's but he couldn't worry about that now. Just where would HE go if he had escaped a huge metal death trap? Something out of the rain, a cave perhaps? a bus stop? The light of his flashlight weaved to and fro as he ran toward the town. Maybe, just maybe he could find a few of the children.* [ The Fool ] Cybille blinked and looked over to Engle when he had sneezed. "Bless you." She went over to place her right hand onto his forehead while her left onto her own, comparing his temperature with hers. "Seems like you do.. here, have some vitamins. The rain is pouring and that won't make your cold go away." Cybille took out a bottle of orangey pills and handed them towards Engle. Twiddledumb Engle took a few pills and popped them into his mouth. He started sucking on the pills and smiled. "Thanks..." He smiled and closes his eyes. The cool air hits his skin and he immidiatly shivers. "I guess we should move on and find the other kids? It seems like the rain is getting bigger and bigger. Maybe they are at the Candy Store?" [ The Fool ] Cybille nodded. "Are you sure you don't wish to company your sister?" She asked once more before standing up to prepare for their next search, feeling a little hopeful about the last one. Drying her hair with a towel, she quickly took back her things and slung it her shoulder, allowing it to pat against her back with every movement of her steps. Twiddledumb "I'm sure she can look after herself." Engle said and dried his hair too. He put his earpiece into his bag and followed Cybille out into the rain. [ The Fool ] Frowning some, she reopened her umbrella and held it up to shelter the both of them, every so often feeling the rain dripple onto her shoulders. Cybille tried to calm herself down by taking in slow breathes, knowing that there was a possibility of even more survivors and that the children will be able to return safely. She crossed the streets and darted straight for the Candy shop, wondering if one was there. Twiddledumb Engle followed Cybille tightly, this time with a umbrella. "I really hope somebody is there. I mean, it's a candy shop." He said in a dreamy ton and gave a giggle. "I wonder how many of the kids are found already." [ The Fool ] Cybille tapped her free hand against the back of her ear as watched the bottom of her shoes patter against the pools of water. "Lets hope a few." It frightened the nurse to imagine such weak children crawling through the rain, just waiting to be found. She was pretty sure some of them were hungry and cold. Twiddledumb Engle started jumping around the puddles since his body is already wet. He twirl his umbrella and watch as the raindrop started flying away in all direction. Soon, Engle saw the candy store. Even though it was very dark, he knew it was it as he has been to the shop quite alot of time. "I can see it. Come on, let's go" Engle said and started tugging Cybille's arm. [ The Fool ] Watching Engle with an expression of concern and curiousity, she noticed her arm being pulled towards the shop once he came into their view and felt her body jerk lightly. "I wonder if it is open." She peered into the window and checked to see whether anyone was inside, and then tried at the door. Soon, it opened with a slam and the rain started to enter the store. "Hello? Is there anyone here?" Psycho.Origami  Valerie clutched at her collar with her free hand. Her other hand gripped the umbrella a man haphazardly handed to her earlier. Though this proved to be a bit difficult for her to handle between the onslaught of the pouring rain and the wind that picked up now and again. A few people rushed by her mentioning something about a train, or something of the likes, but that was about the jist of what she caught.
Before long, now using both hands to control the cumbersome umbrella, Valerie took shelter beneath a nearby awning to wait out the worst of the storm before she restarted her trek towards the school. Ferra  The Easter festivities had ebbed to a halt as soon as the rain set in. With a sunny forecast predicted for the remainder of the week, most took the sudden change as both a disappointment and an omen. But when the grating screech echoed through the soggy town, its citizens set into action.
As a doctor, Obert immediately rushed the train station to help with the injured. Fortunately the damage seemed minimal to most of the carts and there was an endless supply of volunteers distributing blankets and food throughout the makeshift shelter in the station. However, the fate of the missing Krey students weighed heavily on everyone's mind. Alarmed that there was blood found in the students' train car, Obert and a few volunteers set out to search for the lost children. He snatched an umbrella discarded inside as well as a flashlight. A portly woman distributed whistles instructing everyone to blow them if a child was found. Obert took one and slid it in his pocket.
He and the other volunteers ventured out into the blustery cold and quickly armed themselves with their flashlights and umbrellas (which proved difficult to manage in the wind). After a few minutes, Obert split off towards the school hoping a child might have wandered inside.Chienism Cybille+Engle Immediately, Chwen snapped to attention at the sound of a voice. He was still felt a little cloudly, and the pain in his leg wasn't too sharp after he rested a bit. All he can remember is boarding the train with... and... then what? He remembered suddnely regaining conciousness-- in a way similar to getting revived by smelling salts, actually-- and seeing the pale wings of his little sisters'... fading. What in god's name is going on? All he can remember is boarding the train with--
Tuyen? Tuyet?
Where are they?!
Adrenaline coursing through him, Chwen hitched his leg up and managed to hover towards the front of the building-- a store-- and saw a young girl with a few others. Hobbling towards them, Chwen demanded furiously , "Where are my sisters?! What's going on?!" He shifted his attention to his surroundings. Darting around, Chwen desperately screamed his sisters' names and gritted his teeth in frustration.
Pressing a palm against his forehead, the dragon attempted to settle his nerves and pace his breathing. Losing his control isn't going to help anyone...
Tuyen! Tuyet! tyrranticus obert+valerie  In the middle of the main hall, slept a young dragon girl.[ The Fool ] Hearing the ruffling of clothes as feet darted towards them, her eyes picked up the sight of a boy with wings and a leg which quite obviously was injured. She grabbed hold onto him, trying her best to calm him down. "There was an accident. Please, sit down. You're wounded." Her voice was strict and yet stayed at a neutral tone, narrowing her eyebrows at how he was reacting to the lost of his siblings.
"We will find your sisters. But you must rest. You are in no condition to be walking around or even moving that matter." The nurse pointed out at his state and forced him to take a seat upon the floor of the store, wondering whether she had brought her kit along with her. Weaving through the contents of her bag, she pulled out a bandaid and a lotion which would numb the pain away. "What's your name?" Her eyes returned to his as she frowned slightly. Psycho.Origami As Valerie stood there under the awning more people had frantically run by. Collecting bits of conversation that she heard as they passed she managed to put together what the apparant situation was.
Immediately she tried to think of what she could do to help, but came up with nothing. She could barely help herself, let alone help another. Knowing that no matter how good her intentions, anything she could possibly try and do would probably just make the situation worse. She didn't enjoy this bout of pessimism, but it was the truth.
Valerie watched as many volunteers frantically searched the shops around her and amist the faceless strangers she noticed a framiliar white coat coming her way. "Mr. Obert!" Her small voice called out. Chienism Cybille+Engle Chwen squinted at the stranger. The pain and rush left him feeling a bit faint. He shook his head slowly, trying to rid himself of his drowsiness. "My name is Chwen." He kneeled for her. Synetto Engle hid behind Cybille and look at Chwen. "H..Hi...Chwen. My name is Engle. Nice to meet you" he said softly, still behind Cybille. Chienism Cybille+Engle "Engle." Chwen nodded acknowledgement towards Engle. He has always been described as... intense, and this character trait took precedence at the moment. Getting straight to the point, he surveyed the dark sky and folded his wings. "Engle, may you brief me on the current situation?" Synetto "I believe you were in a Train accident. There were said to be 15 children onboard. Don't know whether it is true or not. We've found 1, my sister. I believe other people are looking for your sister too." He said and sat down beside him. Ferra Obert halted at the calling of his name. Since he was absorbed in the job at hand, it took him a moment to register who it belonged to, despite seeing Valerie only hours before. After a moment of searching, he spotted her drenched figure huddled under an awning. Obert navigated through the crowd until he reached the tiny sheep. He didn't particularly like the idea of her accompanying him since she'd no doubt be more of a burden than aid, but leaving her was most certainly not an option. He made his decision quickly, as time was counting against him if he wanted to bring the Krey children to safety.
"Valerie?" he asked although no confirmation was necessary. "What on earth are you doing here alone?" Her wet condition only seemed to exacerbate her helplessness. Without waiting for an answer, Obert stated sharply, "I'm going to the school, come with me." He held out his umbrella indicating he wanted her to come under. [ The Fool ] Rolling up his pants to examine his leg, she touched at certain spots to see where it did hurt. "A pleasure Chwen, I'm Cybille." She wondered why Engle was hiding behind her, looking over her shoulder as he spoke about the incident. Removing the cover of the lotion bottle, she applied the cream to the boy's leg, rubbing at the skin where it felt particularly warm. Psycho.Origami Valerie, a bit suprised at Obert's sudden command, quickly obeyed and entered under the umbrella. (Hers was already closed so it wasn't much in the way.) Shivering, she hoped that there were children safe at the school, and that the school was dry. Chienism Cybille+Engle "A train accident..." He winched at the lotion but quickly regained his composure. A train accident does not explain why he was so dazed and wandering... Same for his sisters disappearing. Chwen clasped a strong hand on Engle's shoulder. "I'm glad they found your sister. Thank you, Engle, Cybille." Flexing his hands, Chwen thought about his next course of action. Obviously he is not fit to search for the others... but that never stopped him before. He was reassured by Cybille that their fates were in the hands of good people.
Chwen ducked his head and decided that maybe he would be more useful doing something else. "Do you have enough volunteers assisting in the train wreckage?" [ The Fool ] Eyeing the colored bruised area, she wrapped the baindaid around his bare leg and tightened it before making a dead knot. Packing the materials to show she was done, Cybille zipped her bag closed and stood up to dust her skirt. "I believe so, but there is always room for more." The elf pulled a lock of hair back behind her ear as she folded her arms squarely in front of her chest, unsure of what Chwen's plans were. He was probably planning on searching his sister, and she could not really blame him. If she had a sibling who was lost, she did do look for him/her despite the consequences. Synetto Engle started staring into the sky. "What caused this accident..." he thought to himself. He took out his earpiece and popped it into his ear and started swaying his head to the beat, closing his eyes to enjoy it. Ferra Obert walked at a bit slower pace towards the school in an attempt to keep Valerie from falling behind. Seara soon came into view and he made his way up to the main entrance. For one reason or another, the door was locked. "Damn..." he cursed internally, careful not to utter profanity in Valerie's presence. Leaving the doorstep, he wandered around the side of the building until the gymnasium came into view. To his good fortune, it was unlocked. Obert made his way inside and held the door open for Valerie to pass by. Chienism Cybille+Engle "I see." Chwen bowed stiffly and thanked the pair one last time. "I feel that I can turst the fate of my sister's to good people like you both. If someone may point me to the direction of the pandemonium, I will take my leave at once." He stretched his young wings and kicked up a small rhtymn, enough to pull him a little off the ground to relieve the pressure on the injured leg. [ The Fool ] "It's three blocks off to the right. We could guide you back though." Cybille offered with a smile on her face, lowering her arms back to her sides. She tilted her head in the direction of where the train station was, wondering if more children had been found and were staying there at that moment. A wash of worry painted over her expression once again. "If not, take my umbrella. I don't want you to get wet like that." Chienism Cybille+Engle Chwen blinked at her offer. "But... I can't!" He was commonly described as chivalrous, too. He smiled lightly and bowed one last time. "I feel that I may be able to feel my way back. Thank you for assistance. Till next time." With a graceful swish of his tail, Chwen hovered off in the night. [ The Fool ] She shook her head and waved him off, feeling a little disappointed at how he did not take her umbrella. In the back of her mind, she prayed for his safety before turning around to look down at Engle, wondering whether they should continue their search for the winged one's sisters. Psycho.Origami Valerie stepped into the gym. Her normally soft footsteps now echoed against the chilly silence. To her dismay the inside, while dry, was still cold. She shook her umbrella out and tried to wipe the excess water off herself, again she shivered.
"W-where do you think they could be?" Synetto Engle looks up at Cybille. "Think we should look for his sister? Lets try the Fish Market or the Pub?" he said and got up. He opened his umbrella and started dancing in the rain, waiting for Cybille. Ferra Obert swept his flashlight beam around the gloomy gym. A door on the opposite side reflected in the darkness.
"I'm not sure," Obert replied. "But we should probably check the hallways to see if anyone wandered inside."
He closed and shook his umbrella and began crossing the court to the other door. His footsteps echoed as he walked and he listened patiently for the smaller echoes of Valerie's steps as she followed behind. Soon they reached the door and entered a long hallway. Obert's flashlight illuminated their path until it shone on an object laying some ways ahead. As they stepped closer it became apparent that it was indeed a child. Obert quickened his pace, no longer caring if Valerie was close behind (the hallway was straightforward enough to ensure she would not get lost unless she made a serious effort to do so). He reached the body and examined it. It was a young dragon girl, about Valerie's age he suspected, and she seemed unharmed but was peculiarly fast asleep. He tried to rouse her to no avail. Obert shoved his hands in his pockets out of frustration and grasped the whistle he'd stowed inside. Almost forgetting his instructions, he pulled the whistle out of his pocket and gave it a strong blow causing the ear-piercing chirp to echo throughout the abandoned hallways. The girl remained motionless. (End on pg. 1015)

Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:21 am
Pi-sama  Eden listens somebody to call her in the distance and she runs toward that address, she believes that it is Eiten and she begins to also call him " Eitennnnnn" ,after to run and to hear the voice of Eiten more near every time, she begin to hear a cry the same cry that Eiten hears and she comes closer to the cry illuminating with her lantern.Psycho.Origami Valerie trailed behind Obert as they entered into the hallway. Her eyes followed where Obert's light went as it fell upon what looked to be one of the children. This did shock her, and she jumped at the shock, but didn't cry out. Knowing she would only be in the way, Valerie kept her distance.
She did let out a startled shriek as the sharp blow of a whistle filled the hall. Almost immediately she shamefully covered her mouth. And although the whistle blowing didn't last long, the echoing down the hall and the ringing in her ears did.
The girl didn't move, and this worried her. SomethingGood Eiten backed up and bumped into someone. He jumped, then span around to see Eden. He reached out and grabbed her shoulder, pulling her over to him since it was so dark and he didn't want to lose sight of her. "Do you hear that?" he said to her, wiping some of the rain off of his face. "Where is it coming from?" he then said, looking around and shining his flashlight around them. tyrranticus  "It was me," said a girl high above them in the trees. Looking down at them, she surveys the area. With a small leap, she lands swiftly on the ground below. "I'm Iris."Pi-sama Eden see to Eiten and she is happy much of not being alone in this easily frightened forest, she lets that Eiten puts her behind him and she answers him. "yes i hear this cry too and i think this went to here" she point to a dark stain that there are between some trees and a great bush, this very dark one and their lanterns don't help a lot they will have to come closer carefully because it can be some wild animal. Suddenly of the black patch a girl leaves scaring terribly Eden that screams "AAAAAAAAAaaaah" Ferra His ignorance of location became painfully apparent as he winced from the shrill noise of the whistle until the echo faded. Although there was a slight ringing in his ears, he recovered quickly and switched his focus back on the girl sleeping blissfully on the floor. He examined her a bit further to confirm she indeed was uninjured, and contemplated his options. There was no way his whistle could be heard from inside and no guarantee anyone was nearby to help even if it were. Obert set down his flashlight and umbrella and hoisted the girl into his arms. Luckily, she was reasonably light and therefore easier to carry. However, with both of his arms occupied by the sleeping dragon, he was unable to use his flashlight.
"Valerie!" he called out in the darkness, "I need you to use the flashlight, okay?" He hoped the whistle hadn't scared her enough to blunder into an empty classroom. SomethingGood Eiten jumped backwards when the girl jumped from what seemed like nowhere, then gulped, catching his breath. "You're one of the students that was being transferred, aren't you?" he said. "Everyone has been looking for you guys...are you hurt?" he asked. Psycho.Origami Valerie nodded. Not like it did any good considering she was near impossible to see. She walked over and grabbed the flashlight in compliance to what Obert had told her to do. She pointed it at the ground inbetween her and Obert. Although it wasn't much it made her feel better to actually be helping. Ferra "Good," Obert said appreciatively. "Would you mind leading the way?"
It'd be rather pointless for him to walk ahead of the light and with the extra weight Valerie's pace would be just fine. tyrranticus Iris glances around at herself and looks at Eiten. "I'm fine. I don't remember how I got here though and that certainly is a problem. This place isn't Mieve so it must be Greinell but I have no memory after boarding the train."
She turns and looks around the area some more, hoping to find clues as to why she is here. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Iris said, "I transferred here but I honestly don't know what happened. I would appreciate any information you can provide me."
Realizing how standoffish she must've appeared to this pair, her expression quickly melted from her almost angry intenseness to a soft glowing smile. "I'm sorry but I haven't caught your name. Would you care to share it with me?" Psycho.Origami "Ok." Hesitently Valerie took the lead. Her pace was slower now that she was the one cutting through the pitch dark. She cautiously entered the gym, shining the light all around her. Pi-sama Eden look at Iris more calm and made a gently smile to Iris and said " i can tell you that I know, your train had a crash and the last bagoon ocupants missing and we are looking for them now, ops and my name is Eden" then she remenber the whistle and said " to cover you the hearings I will use the whistle" she blow the whistle. Ferra Obert followed behind until they reached the gym. Faint as it was, he could make out the outside door in the distance. He walked towards the door no longer using Valerie's light, although he did appreciate the insurance if he were for some reason to encounter something along his path. When they reached the door, Obert pushed it open with his side and waited outside for Valerie. The rain was still pouring, making him regret leaving his umbrella behind (despite being unable to manage it if he wanted to). There were lights on in the nearest buildings indicating people were still actively searching for the children as well as cleaning up the train. "How many children were there, about fifteen?" Obert thought. He hoped he hadn't left more children behind in the school, even though he could only carry one at a time. He adjusted his grip on the girl's body and began walking towards town. The train station wasn't too far away, which was the safest place he could think of nearby for the girl who still was unstirred. SomethingGood Eiten plugged his ears with his fingers when Eden blew the whistle, then slowly took a few steps toward Iris. "I'm Eiten. Like Eden said, you were in a train wreck. I don't really know much more than that, or how you got here, but you should come with us back to the town." tyrranticus "Ah... Yes, I suppose that is the best decision for this moment," replied Iris as she walked closer towards Eiten and Eden, ready to follow them. "So, where to first?" Akkhima The next building Erin decided to search in was the Hotel. He thought of how the canine child had migrated to a place with soft things to lie on, maybe the couches in the hotel provided a similar draw to another of the children. He crossed the street quickly, and pushed open the doors, peering inside. Chienism  Suddenly, a squealing boy in a bear hoodie slammed into Erin's stomach. "Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah! Someone's hear to saaaave~ me!" He snuggled his face against Erin's chest, obviously elated by the presence of someone else.[ The Fool ] While she returned to the train station, wondering where Engle had hopped off to, her vision blurred slightly as cold had gotten to her. Shrugging it off quickly, Cybille approached the man she had talked to before, asking how many children were safe. He rose up only a few fingers before pointing one at the rumble in the station. That awarded him a frown as she turned her head in the direction of the fallen wreckage and quickly made her way over, calling out to see whether there was anyone buried beneath. Chienism  A soft whimper:
"Help!" Kailey wiggled his feet for the umpteenth time, and finally managed to get a slab of wood to slide off-- revealing his very pink, very sequin-y shoe.[ The Fool ] Twitching her ears, she snapped her head towards where the cry for help had come from. Her eyes then picked up the sight of a shoe peeking out from under and immediately hurried over. The nurse tried to think as she examined the situation, wondering how she could possibly pull the child out. Digging her hands into the hole that the victim had made, she yanked off another plank of wood, tossing it to the side and managed to see half of his body. "Are you alright?" Chienism Kailey sniffed and wriggled some more. "I... I think my arm is stuck. And hurt." He flexed it, just to make sure.
Ow.
"Yeah. It's stuck." [ The Fool ] How many times had she frowned today? Probably too many to count. Another brought her lips downwards as she watched the other in pity as well as worry. "Mm.. Don't move." Checking for any signs of possible exits, she leaned in further and pulled at another piece of wood, grunting as a splinter sliced at her finger tips. She was not planning on getting hurt herself, but saving others was her job after all. The elf slammed her foot at a nearly broken piece, causing it to lose its hold and then flung it away before it fell onto the boy.
Sinking into the bigger hole which she had created, Cybille peeked over to examine his arm and calculated as to how she will pull it out without injuring the other any further. "The moment I lift that wooden plank upwards, try to move your arm out, alright?" She was not strong, but just strong enough. Chienism Stunned by the Mystery Woman's strength, Kailey was slow to react. "O-okay!" He nodded furiously and bit his bottom lip, afraid that it might hurt. [ The Fool ] Letting out a chuckle, she smiled at the rabbit in order to lighten the mood of the atmosphere, knowing how it would have felt to be under such debris over a certain period of time. "Don't worry." Adjusting her arms to support the weight of the oddly large beam, she forced her muscles to push it a few inches up as they quivered in distress. Cybille held as long as she could till the boy shifted his arm away from danger of it collasping back. Chienism Kailey scrambled out, then collapsed on another pile of rubble. His legs were limp from being stuck down there for so long. He wobbily stood up and leaned against a half-standing door. "Phew." [ The Fool ] Once the boy was out, she backed away and allowed the pillar to fall back done, causing a loud bash to ring across the train station. Cybille sighed and waved a few beads of sweat off from her face, staining it with a bit of dir as well as blood from her fingers. Turning around to take another look at the rabbit, she tilted her head slightly. "You're quite lucky. I'm glad you're out of there-." Her lips paused to form a name that was unknown to her while her smile died down. Chienism Kailey nodded again. With a concerned pout, Kailey hopped over to the nurse and, using his unharmed arm, gently touched the nurse's injured fingers. "I'm Kailey. I'm really, really, reeeeeeeeeally sorry that you're hurt." He nibbled as hit bottom lip again, scared for her part. [ The Fool ] She was taken by surprise and blinked at the warmth that passed through her nearly cold skin. "It's fine.. Kailey. It's just a few scratches." Cybille took her uninjured hand and ruffled the pinkish hair before landing it onto his shoulders, emphasizing that the few wounds did not really hurt and would heal in a matter of time. After all, she had gone through much worse. "It's nice to meet you, the name's Cybille. And it's about time you head back to the safety zone, just in case something were to happen." Chienism Kailey blinked and grinned sheepishly. He liked her. "Aye aye, captain!" He saluted her with his good arm and flicked his hair back. "Just point the way." [ The Fool ] Watching him, she couldn't help but laugh and walked towards the direction of the platform. "You're quite the chippy type." She commented softly. As Cybille climbed over the rubble, she looked back to check whether Kailey was having any trouble, otherwise she did offer to piggyback him like what she had done with Mills. Chienism Kailey nodded and kicked his legs up. Noting Cybille's expression, Kailey stretched and chirped "Don't worry about me! I'm a rabbit." He raised a brow and did a show-off-y hop (four feet with a twitchy spin). Then, suddenly remembering the situation, Kailey's expression flipped: "The others! Are they okay? Did you see November?!" He clutched his hands together and wavered. [ The Fool ] Stepping onto the platform, she removed the dirt of her side of her shoes as she blinked at the leap, wondering whether the boy was really hurt or that he was pretending. "We have found a few children.. but I haven't come across someone called November.." Cybille felt a little guilty for destroying the possible hope he could have whille she rubbed the side of her arm. Chienism Kailey deflated and nibbled on the tip of his fingertips. His brows were furrowed as he started to pace, "Maybe I should... go and help find people. Um..." He looked around, "where's the safety zone?" Twiddledumb Engle dragged his leg, slowly but steadily from the rain into the shower. His whole body soaked wet from top to toe. "Hey Cybille..." he says softly but still able to be heard and gave a sneeze. He noticed the bunny boy and gave a little wave. [ The Fool ] "Once your injury is taken care of." She waved a finger at him, pointing at the bruised spot on his arm before turning back to walk. Cybille then directed him to a block a number of feet away from the debri and caught the attention of the same man, noting that she found yet another child. "It's here. Now, let me treat you at least." It was a must for her to tend to the wounded, and so she demanded quietly.
Her attention was caught by a familiar voice as her eyes widened to find Engle dripping wet. "Engle! Why are you soaked? Didn't you bring an umbrella with you?" She hurried took a towel and wrapped it around the hamster, another to dry his hair in a motherly way. Chienism Kailey had startled at Engle and was slowly retreating behind Cybille. The other guy-- Engle-- seemed to be an acquaintence. Nevertheless... he's still a stranger...
Kailey exhaled slowly and let Cybille bandage his arm. Pi-sama Eden smiles thoroughly and she catches Iris hand and another of Eiten and while she heads toward the center of help she says . "Better it will be to go toward the Center of Help, I believe to have heard that all the find children should go there for a checkup" . while she speaks it continues to the marbles that had gone leaving until arriving to the road of there it arrives to the station. Then she see a great group of people and she thinks this "it should be the Center of Help", she goes there and when they arrives she begins to say." Eiten takes charge of Iris I go to look for to the library and in one hour we see each other here of agreement" .
Eden goes away in address to the library, when she arrives to the building, at night and raining is still more imposing, she begins to look for among the columns of the entrance but she don't see anything until she realizes that the door this open one and carefully she enters.
Twiddledumb Engle was happy to see Cybille again as he felt lost and lonely in the rain even though he loved it. He noticed that the bunny boy was startled by him which is very weird because he was the one normally who avoid people. He started walking closer to Cybille, the water dripping as he goes. [ The Fool ] Patting Kailey on the head when she was done, she noticed the bunny seeming a little more quiet after Engle's presence was among them. "Kailey, this is Engle. You need not be frightened of him, he is a good person." She offered a smile to ensure that she was speaking the truth. "How does your arm feel now anyway?"
Cybille was straightened her back and turned over to Engle, noticing that he was still quite wet. "Maybe it is best if you dry yourself. Don't worsen your cold, alright? The rain won't help." She handed a fresh towel to him, frowning at the sight of his clothes and hair sticking to him. Pi-sama The library this dark one and it gives fear, with her lantern she begins to look for. Eden listens strange noises, but it is an old building to if that could be any thing, she decides to come closer to the reading area and she begins to speak strong. "heoo someone here", she finds to hear a noise coming from an armchair that this turned to her and she comes closer carefully, "hello..."
Chienism Moving his arm slowly, Kailey realized that, well, for one thing... he could move it without wincing. "Wow." He smiled sheepishly and cocked his head at the bandages. "Um... I don't know how to thank you," he continued, feeling a little awkward due to the presence of Engle, "I guess I'll, uh, pay you back later?"
Kailey did a stiff thumbs up with a half-smile and started to jog to the safety center-- pausing only to slowly wave at Engle and frantically wave at Cybille.
"Thank you! Ciao!" [ The Fool ] There really was not a need to pay for back, it was her job to save as well as tend the wounded... and that she was glad enough to see the bunny move his arm around without any trouble. Packing away her things once more, she grinned at how fascinated the boy, as if he had never been bandaged before. Maybe he hadn't. "You're welcome." Cybille giggled and waved back at Kailey as he hopped away, in a less excited manner. Though, now there was an even larger burden on her. Chwen's sisters from and November, quite unsure of what they all looked like. She felt as if she needed to find them as soon as possible, so that their friends and sibling would not worry. Pi-sama Eden finds two children sleeping peacefully and she doesn't want to wake up them to if that leaves them a note for when they wakes up that they go to the center of help. After this she leaves the library and she goes toward Music's store.
Once in music's store, Eden stays looking at the window some moments, always sge to sense attracted to the musical instruments, she begins to look for the surroundings of the store until she finds the half-open back door and she decides to enter.
[ The Fool ] Cybille: -Turns on motherly mode and hugs Engle- Twiddledumb Engle:-Gag- Can't...breathe [ The Fool ] Cybille: -Eeks and lets go- Twiddledumb Engle:-Takes a deep breath.- [ The Fool ] Cybille: -Ruffles his hair- Sorry about that.
-Sways back and forth- If she acts like this around other people's children, I wonder how she would be like with her own. Twiddledumb Engle: -Giggles-
Wearing of Bibs during all meals whether how old, no running about in house, protecting sharp corners XD Pi-sama Inside the small music store, Eden this fascinated of all the musical instruments that she can find, and for a moment she forgets so that this there, begins to play the piano and then she comes closer to play the guitar. Eden feels like in the sky so many instruments waiting to play them but suddenly she remembers that this there to look for lost children and she begins to look for among labyrinths of instruments. In one of the corridor Eden you trips with an instrument and she falls, Eden feels an intense pain in her knee and when she gets up she see that her spreads it rasped and with some blood. Eden thinks that already she had enough to if that screams in the store, "If there is some child in the store that comes out now I leave " She doesn't listen any noise to if that she leaves music's store limping a little and she goes toward the store of flowers.
[ The Fool ] Cybille: -Wraps a blanket around him to keep him warm-
Most definately. No climbing trees, even though she does it sometimes, no talking to strangers, follow their diet. xD; Pi-sama Eden arrives to the store of flowers and she finds some gavels that they die for the water and she decides to catch them and to put them to receipt in the alley of beside the store. Once on to receipt the gavels begin to look for for the surroundings of the store limping. " helloooooo someone is here" she scream, then she hear a noise in the flower shop and enter inside. Pi-sama Once inside the store, a great floral aroma invades the sense of the smell of Eden and she smiles immediately, a beautiful place to hide with a very pleasant aroma, is tons of flowers of different colors and forms, it is beautiful to see so many flowers meetings. Distracted with so much beauty and aromas Eden doesn't realize a hanging gavel and she is given in the head with it, and she begins to cry first she hurted her knee and now she made a lump. tyrranticus  In the far left corner of theroom filled with luscious flora, slept a young caucasian girl.Pi-sama While Eden this crying she hear a peculiar sound and she begins to dry off her tears carefully, She looks among the shelves of flowers and she don't see anything, good she has the blurred view of tears. She continues looking for coming closer to the noise, Eden comes closer where they are the luscious flora and she don't see anything, so she continues to before until she trip with a body slept in the floor and she falls above it and she start to said " sorry sorry im a little clumsy" tyrranticus Undisturbed, the girl makes a slight grumble and continues her slumber. Pi-sama Eden realizes that she is a girl of her same age and that she didnt have wake up and she thinks" should have the very heavy dream" then she tries to wake up her. " wake up come on wake up" she says while she shakes her but it seems impossible and then a bad grimace appears in her face and she catches some water of a shelf and she is wet her hands and she start to sprinkle the sleeping girl's face. " wake up, wake up" Pi-sama Eden try and try again but the girl dont wake up, she decides to blow the whistle to request help, the girl is of her same age and she is not able to with her. Eden comes out to the street and she blows very strong the whistle and wait to that somebody appears to help her. Psycho.Origami Once outside Valerie glanced at the flashlight, looking for the off-switch. Finding this more difficult than she thought, she gave up. It was dark outside anyways and the light would be helpful.
About to take off and catch up to Obert, a large flash filled the sky. Knowing what was to come shortly after, Valerie impulsively ran back into the gym. She crouched down near the door, dropping her umbrella and flashlight and covered her ears. Although muffled, the boom that followed was still loud, and she flinched as it echoed throughout the gym and halls.
A few moments of recovery led to her realisation that she was all alone. Picking up her belongings she headed towards the halls, it was warmer out there then it was in the gym and there was no way she would willingly go outside in a thunder storm.
The change in pitch of her footprints let her know she was in the hall. Valerie searched around her with the flashlight, where they had found the girl. But there now lie another object; Obert's umbrella.
He must've forgotten it, She thought sadly, as he might miss it later. SomethingGood Eiten nodded to Eden when they arrived at the station, then turned to Iris. "Think you'll be alright here? I'm sure you could find someone to help you if you need it. I should go help look for the students though." he said. tyrranticus "Thankyou, I'm fine. I'll go find out what happened here myself now. I hope you find some students and goodluck," said Iris as she gave eiten an encouraging pat. SomethingGood Eiten gave a small bow, then took off at a run towards the town.
Once he was standing somewhat in the middle of the street, watching people run by, still frantic, he was looking around and thinking. Hmm....maybe someone would be in the bank? He thought. He ran to the bank, pushing through crowds of people as they ran in the other direction.
Once he had gotten to the front door of the bank, he closed his umbrella, and opened the door slowly, peeking in. "Hello?" he said, noticing the bank was empty as far as he could see. He stepped inside, hearing the rain drip from his clothes and onto the floor. He could hear something else...but he wasn't entirely sure if it was coming from outside, or inside. SomethingGood Eiten searched through the bank, looking behind desks and around work stations before he was satisfied that there was no one there. "Now where do I look..." he mumbled to himself, leaning on one of the desks. "Book store? Might as well." he sighed, then pushed himself to stand up straight. He pushed his hair out of his face, then went back to the door. He paused and looked around one more time, then opened the door and stepped out, opening his umbrella as he did so.
While walking to the bookstore, he thought of other places he might check after the bookstore if there was no one there. Maybe...the coffee shop? The post office? Yeah. After this.
He stopped at the door, closing his umbrella again, and carefully opening the door. He didn't bother with a greeting this time. He walked inside, closing the door behind him, and started to look around. tyrranticus  Tuyen slept soundly among a pile of knocked over books.SomethingGood Eiten gasped a bit when he saw the girl. He hadn't really expected to find anyone. He rushed over to her side, dropping to his knees. "Hello? Hello?" he repeated, shaking her lightly in attempt to wake her. tyrranticus Despite Eiten's attempts to wake her, tuyen is still deep in her slumber. Akkhima Erin was shocked at the sudden impact of the small bear-child rubbing his face on his chest. Erin wasn't sure how to react, but the boy obviously needed comforting, so he rested his hands on the boy's back and patted gently. If this boy could find comfort in Erin's soaked shirt, then Erin would let him do so. "Hey there, you're ok now. You're not alone. Are you hurt?" he asked, but he didn't see any injuries. "Come on, let's go to the train station. Some of your classmates are there already." SomethingGood Eiten made a noise that showed his mild annoyance, and slowly stood. He knew he couldn't lift her...he wasn't strong enough. So he went to the door and opened it, sticking his head out to blow his whistle as loud as he could. He kept his head peeking out of the book shop, so if help came, he could get them to come to him. Ferra Obert lugged the girl along at a slow run since it started to thunder and lightning. Soon he reached the awning where he found Valerie. He stopped and leaned back against the wall for a while to catch his breath. He wasn't the strongest elf, so the small girl's weight had began to make him wearisome. He glanced back at the school expecting to see Valerie trailing behind. "Where is she?" Obert thought, at first in irritation. He peered into the distance but could not make out the faint glow of the flashlight, even when another flash of lightning illuminated the sky (although his rain splattered glasses did greatly hinder his vision.)
"Valerie?" Obert was at a loss. He imagined her tripping out of fear of the thunder and drowning in a mud puddle somewhere. He began to head back for her but remembered the sleeping girl still resting in his arms. "Quite the predicament I'm in," Obert mused out of frustration. He turned around sharply and headed towards the train station at a slight jog; returning the girl was still his first priority. Obert trudged along with the train station coming closer and closer into view. "I hope she can swim." Chienism Kuroichi clung tightly and uttered a muffle "okay." He pulled off slowly and smiled at his savior. "Thank you for finding me!" Remembering his classmates, Kuroichi did a quick double-take: "wait, what? I wasn't the only one missing?" He seemed boggled by that information. Ferra People were still bustling about the train station as Obert made his way inside. He spotted the portly woman who had given instructions before he left. "Miss," he asked short of breath and the woman turned towards him. "I found a Krey Student in the Seara school house." He paused to inhale. "Do you know where I should take her?" The woman touched her chin in a thinking fashion. Meanwhile, Obert spotted a young boy with matching dragon-like features pass by them in the station. Akkhima "Wha?" Erin was slightly confused. "Didn't you all leave the train together?" Erin's mind had put together the facts slightly differently than they were being revealed. He handed the other boy the handle to the umbrella to hold so he could stay fully dry. Erin was already wet enough that only walking half under the umbrella next to the newcomer wouldn't affect him much. Chienism Kuroichi shook his head. "I didn't leave the train at all! I just sort of... woke up here." He shrugged sheepishly and gratefully huddled under the umbrella. Akkhima "Seriously? That's freaky. You don't remember anything???" Erin shivered at the thought as lightning struck in the distance, enhancing the creepy mood. This boy needed him to be strong, though, so he stood up straight and tried to seem confident as he led the boy towards the train station. "Everyone from your traincar went missing. I think many have been found already, but I haven't talked to anyone since I left the station, so I'm not sure. I found one of your classmates, a canine boy with blue hair, but he was fast asleep. I don't like not knowing what's going on, but right now, it's more important that I help find the others." Erin found it easier to keep confident if he kept talking. He hoped his companion didn't mind. After a short pause for breath, he blurted out "What's your name?" Chienism "Remember what?" He just sort of assumed that, yanno, he's outside. Actually, Kuroichi didn't think to question it very much. A blue canine? Oh. Ha. Draaaaake. Weird, though! Why would everyone be missing?
"Ah! Oh yeah! I'm Kuroichi." Akkhima "My name's Erin," he introduced himself. "Well, you had to have gotten off the train somehow, right? If you don't know how, you must have forgotten, right?" Erin was starting to get really confused and was glad to see that they were almost to the train station. Maybe someone there would be able to give more answers. Chienism "Hi Erin! Maybe I did forget it! Hmmmmm..." Kuroichi rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "But I'm not usually very forgetful-- at least, I don't think I am." Kuroichi looked up and saw a few of his friends at the train station.
"Oh! That's them!" He gave Erin a quick, tight, super-suffocating hug and then ran off. "Thanks-thanks-thanks Erin~! Good night!" Akkhima "Bye Kuroichi! I'll see you at school!" Erin felt relieved as he waved the boy off, but still worried. He didn't know how many children were still lost and alone in the town, but until he got signal that all was well, he was going to keep looking. So far, the children seemed to be huddling indoors, but he figured he should cut through the park and check in the trees and bushes for any more sleeping forms. SomethingGood Eiten grumbled to himself when no one came. Uhg! He thought in frustration. He pulled his head back inside then closed the door and looked back over to the girl. Well...if he couldn't carry her...he could at least drag her to the door? Hope I don't hurt her. He thought with a sigh before walking over to her.
He put his hands on his sides for a moment, thinking. "Ha." he said quietly, snapping his fingers. He got down on his knees by her head, then lifted her up so he could wrap his arms around her just under her arms. He stood up a bit, and pulled her along, walking backwards towards the door. Once he got to the door, he leaned her up against the wall and took in a deep breath. He opened the door and stepped outside, taking a look around. "HEY! SOMEONE! I NEED HELP!" he yelled. A man quickly ran up to him, asked what he needed help with, and once Eiten had told him, they both carried the girl to the train station.
He got the attention of a police officer, and explained what had happened, and where he had found the girl. He left the girl with him, and set out for the Post Office. SomethingGood Eiten ran to the post office without his umbrella, since he had left it at the bookstore by accident. It didn't really matter anyway, there were huge holes in the old thing and it barely did any good.
He screeched to a halt outside the post office, and went inside in a rush. He was FREEZING, and even if there was no one here he was going to rest there for a bit. Pi-sama Eden waits and waits in the street, every time makes colder and nobody comes when this losing all hope sees an adult of the salvage that he asks her if had been her the one that to blow the wisthle and her nods. Eden catches the man's hand and she takes him where this Libon sleeping and she explains to him carefully all that that to she made to try to wake up her without success and the man explains to her that she is not the first one that there are more children in that state of deep dream. Eden wonders that it is that had been able to happen so that they are in that state, and if it has something to do with the power that it made them disappear of last boxcar miraculously. The man picks up Libon and he tells to Eden that doesn't worry that he took her to the salvage center. Pi-sama After the salvage man was taken to Libon, Eden decides to continue looking for and she opts for Candy shop, Eden think that if she doesn't find any child there she can eat some goody. limping Eden slowly goes coming closer to Candy shop, the streets are a chaos, people whistles that are heard in the distance running and you shine for all the sides, her this happy one of having helped to find two children but they are even some missing ones and one cannot give for conquered although it hurts her a lot the knee and east beginning to be very cold.
Eden had arrived to Candy shop and she begins to look for for their surroundings and then she enters to see carefully inside the shop, that if she dont loose the opportunity to eat up a candy. Pi-sama Eden looks for attentively among shelves of knick-knacks trying not to eat up more than the candy that already had caught, for that seen there is not any child in the store. Eden goes out carefully of the store with her pockets full with candies.
Eden goes for a walk for the streets of Raime when she smell a strong scent of fish and she remembers the fish marquet and with a grimace in her face comes closer to see. The scent to fish is stronger inside the market and Eden covers her nose with her right hand, she hopes to finish soon in the market she doesn't like scent. Chienism Chwen's built-in Little Sister Radar went off. It said... look left!
"Tu--"
There was a guy. An old guy. Holding his precious baby sister. Guy. Sister. Touching. Unconscious little sister. What?! Chwen narrowed his eyes and flexed his hands as he slowly walked over, viciously grinding his teeth.
"Put. Her. Down." Akkhima Feeling satisfied that there was no one hiding in the park, Erin moved on. His next stop, he decided, would have to be the Antique shop. He pushed his way through the heavy door, and shone his flashlight around. The shop had an old, musty smell to it from the antiques, and the strange goods made for an eerie atmosphere. He kept his cool, however, as he made his way around the elegant victorian loveseats on display. Ferra Obert was startled by the dragon-boy's stern, half-crazed command and the bold accusation his glance displayed, enough that he almost dropped the poor girl. Instead he placed her gently on a bench littered with newspapers formerly used to wait for the train. Obert was tempted to put the boy, who he presumed to be her brother, in line but thought better of it. It'd only disturb the concourse of survivors and volunteers, many of whom where trying to catch a few winks of sleep. Instead he replied quietly in a more civilized manner.
"What the hell is your problem?" tyrranticus  Lincoln lay on the floor, unconscious. Next to him was a large brass jar and various shattered plates. There were mud tracks on the floor that suggested that, unable to see in the dim light, he had walked into a shelf-- knocking it over-- and the largest display decided to make friends with his head.tyrranticus "I..." he started slowly, defensively making his way to his sister's side, "do not approve of you." Chwen gingerly picked up his sister and, making sure that he was not putting too much pressure on his leg, left the train station to the shelter. [ astra ] Nate decided to try and track down another kid, since there had been so many found...but there were still more who hadn't been found at all! He went back to the train station, and snagged a flashlight, and on a whim, also grabbed an umbrella. He went off in the direction of the Photography Shop, and, once he had arrived, cautiously began to search the store. [ astra ] Nate, upon searching the empty photography shop, was not discouraged. With a skip in his step, determined to find the sleeping children, leaped to the bank in search of one. Twiddledumb Engle started walking away from the station, back into the rain, magically having an umbrella in his hand. He started walking and looked at all the people walking past him. Soon, he saw the art shop. "I really need to stock up on my art stuff." Engle opened the door and the little bell above his head started ringing. "Guess no one is here." Twiddledumb Seeing there is nobody inside, Engle went out of the shop and started walking. He decided to get his stuff after everything is settled down. Soon, it was getting boring and Engle got tired. In the distance is the Fruit Stand with seats around. His legs got faster and faster and soon he reached the Fruit Stand and sit down. Twiddledumb Engle decided to go back home to take a nap before he starts finding the missing kids again. He took an apple and started munching into it. Once he reached the aparment block he lives in, he went in and got upstair. While walking, he noticed that a few doors are open and decided to search them, hoping the owner isn't inside. Pi-sama Eden cannot support the fish scent but she didn't see anybody, it could not support for a lot of time more, she was entered her arcades for the scent, so she decides leave if there was some child would have to find it other person for that she could not be for more time in the Fish Mercat.
After leaving the Fish Marquet, Eden had the penetrating fish scent put so in the head she decides to go since to Caffe shop it is well-known that the scent of the coffee is strong and Eden likes scent of coffee so limping she goes toward the Caffe shop. Before entering she looks just in case for the surroundings of the store there is somebody but she don't see to anybody to if that she goes directly inside toward a great bag of coffee and she begins to smell it so that the unpleasant fish scent disappears.
Ferra Obert was dumfounded as to what treachery he'd done towards the boy's sister to merit his disapproval. If anything, Obert was owed thanks. But seeing as he too must have been a train wreck survivor, he cut him some slack. Obert sat on the bench for a brief rest and closed his eyes. "It's not as though I was planning on seducing her," Obert thought bitterly. "I mean, she's just a little girl." His eyes sprung open. "Little.. girl... Valerie!" The last word was audible and caused more than a few heads to turn. The doctor stood upright a bit too quickly and had to pause until his lightheadedness subsided. As he maneuvered his way towards the exit, Obert spotted another flashlight on an unoccupied bench and snatched it. The rain seemed to be letting up a little, but the sky only got darker. Once again he made the trek to the schoolhouse, but this time unhindered by another body. Ferra Obert trudged up the familiar road splashing through expanding mud puddles and consequently soiling his usually pristine white lab coat. He maintained a swift pace despite combating exhaustion and the biting pinpricks of cold water. Still, it wasn't long before the school was once again in view and growing closer with each step. Obert had not caught sight of Valerie along the way, so he suspected she ran inside during the thunderstorm. He approached the gymnasium door and noticed small tracks in the mud looping back inside. Out spread a grin of amusement. "Well that answers that question..." he mused fondly, "but where is she?" Obert pushed the gym door open and shone his flashlight around the court. He spotted nothing, but called out "Valerie" just in case.
Her name echoed while he crossed the wood floor with a slight shiver. "No wonder she's not in here," Obert grumbled. "It's freezing!" It wasn't long before he was back in the hallway and tracing his path back to where he found the dragon-girl. Thankfully it became warmer the farther inside he traveled, though at a snail's pace due to examining each classroom he passed by. There was a faint light at the end of the hallway that grew brighter as he drew near.
"Valerie?" he called out anxiously. [ The Fool ] Watching a number of children being carried and brought to the safety zone, Cybille let out a huff of satisfaction before chugging down another gulp of water. She threw the empty bottle into the nearest rubbish bin and headed back to the wreckage, hopping through holes and fallen rocks. The nurse did wonder whether there were still those trapped underneath and needed to make one more round. She dug through the dirt with her already bruised hands and peeked into certain areas, looking around for anything moving. Every once in a while, she did flash her torchlight into the black pitched parts since she had difficulty seeing in the dark. tyrranticus reply to engle's post by chien:  Ilium looked up from the book he was reading. After finding himself in an example apartments-- the ones used by real estate agents to show off the apartment in furnitured glory-- he decided that fate probably wanted him there. Thus he grabbed one of the colorful books off of the chic coffee table (an island in the very mod, very fabulous room) and set down to wait. Live and let live, he thought.
Well, here Fate was in the form of a silver-haired boy. Hmm. Fate was shorter than he imagined.
"Yes?" he slid the book back onto its asymmetrical stack and, oblivious to his own blood-splattered body and crimson streaked face, warmly smiled at Fate. Ilium appeared straight out of a murder scene, instead of the totally glam and edgy apartment.tyrranticus  Corky flinched at the light filtering through the cracks and splinters fo the wood-- someone was here! She wriggled out of her "safe zone" and pressed herself up underneath a flat section of wood that was near the source of the light. A few "stones" rolled off loudly, and she sensed a thin dust in the air. Heaving with all her might, she managed to make it quiver a few inches upwards. She took a deep breath and screamed "Here! Over here!" Unable to hold it up any longer, she slowly lowered herself.
"Uff... can't risk another cave-in." Sniffing gently, she recognized the dull scent of coal.
Ah, so that's what happened! Corky deduced that the coal cart must've been flipped over from the front, causing at least half of its substance to spill over onto the smashed box-cart where Corky was so desperately trying to escape from.
Huh. Elaborate. Anyways, this was hardly the place where a lady (heh, heh, lady) like herself should be stuck in. She was Georgina "Corky" Luxemberg, and she shall not die in something so trivial as a train crash! Or, whatever. She should at least die doing something like scaling the world's highest mountain and getting pushed off the top by the great mountain monster. Yeah, that sounds much better.tyrranticus Reply to pi:
 Slumped over the counter scattered with many half eaten cakes and pastries slept a dark cat eared boy. [ The Fool ] As she was about to turn the other way, her senses picked up the sound of a scream this time and managed to identify it as a female. Quickly making her way, trying to track down where the source of the cry for help came from, Cybille caught sight of a few rocks tumbling down their way to the side. Immediately she weaved through and stumbled upon what appeared to be a pretty badly smashed wooden box and flashed her torch into it, lowering the energy just a tad in order to not blind whoever was stuck. "Hello? Is anyone there?" She called out and leaned over to get a better view, wondering if she might have heard wrong. tyrranticus "Yes, there is." She stretched herself as far as she could and managed to poke her finger out into the night air. "Can you see me?" She wriggled some more, hoping to cause some movement. The air was getting thick-- it was becoming harder to breathe. "Listen... I'm literally in a bit of a tight spot here, but I think if we both tried to lift this annoying panel of wood at the same time, I could manage to squirm my way out of here. That sound good, dearie?" (Pg 1077)

Pi-sama While Eden smells the sack of coffee she listens a noise coming from the accountant of the store and slowly she turn is given to meet with a boy with ears and Tail of black cat, She thinks that it is cool. Eden comes closer to the boy slowly and she says, " Hello I'm Eden, Are you a child of trein?, we all are looking for you" She said with a gently smile.
[ The Fool ] Cybille raised an eyebrow. Was she just called 'dearie'? Twitch. No matter, for now. "Si.." Her eyes fixated upon what appeared to be a girl no more than her middle teen years, light wine hair and a pair of cat-like ears. Shrugging her shoulders, Cybille adjusted herself one more and positioned her hands just behind the beam of wood, giving a nod as a signal that she was ready to lift it. Of course this time she would not be able to do it by herself, for one she was not a weight-lifter and two, half of her energy was gone. SomethingGood Eiten leaned on the counter in the post office, panting slightly. It was thankfully warmer inside...though he couldn't tell all that much, he felt a bit numb all over from the cold. Might as well look around. He pushed himself up, then started looking around behind the counter, in the back room, and around the boxes. He scratched his head, then sighed. He walked to the door and opened it, running back outside.
Maybe they could use help back at the train station...he wondered. He shook his head to himself, then looked down. There are tons of people there...what about...the butcher shop? Might as well...if I can stand the smell long enough to look for anyone...Eiten ran toward the butcher shop, trying to keep hopeful.
Once he arrived, he had to prepare himself before going inside. He took in a few deep breaths. One...two...three! He counted down in his mind, flinging the door open on three. He went inside, and looked around. Boy, I'm dumb...why would anyone hide here! He thought while looking around the shop. tyrranticus "Alright then, one... two... three..." Corky slammed her body against the wood, and with their combined forces the slab moved up just high enough for Corky to push-off her heels and roll out. Fortunately, she only had a few scratches and splinters from the wood.
"Phew!" She flopped onto her back and breathed the crisp air. "Thank god that's over. Thank you." Twiddledumb Engle was embarressed, he was entering some one else home. "Urm...I'm so sorry. Didn't mean to intrude. I thought it was empty." He said softly and look down onto the floor. After some minutes of silence, he finally spoke again. "I'm looking for kids who went missing during a mysterious Train wreck. Did you happen to find any?" Pi-sama When Eden more fence is she realizes that the boy this sleeping and she thinks, " oh no, Again no", With hurry Eden kneels down beside the boy and she tries to wake up him all this she reminds to the girl of the florist. Eden desists in waking up him and she goes to the street and she blows her whistle so that some adult comes to help her another time.
[ The Fool ] Cybille let go of the pillar and fell backwards, hitting her behind against a soft piece of wet wood. Shaking her head to regain her conscious, she stood up again and eyed the female with her usual blanked-out expression. "Again, you are one of the more luckier ones." Seeing how the bobcat was barely wounded. Tilting her head over to the safety zone, her eyes narrowed and took back her flashlight. "Well then, shall I escort you back? You should tend to those scratches." tyrranticus "Hmmm," Ilium tapped his chin thoughtfully, "I think I may be one of the missing children, for my last memory was in a train, but I don't think it crashed." He held out a bloody hand to Engle, but withdrew it to wipe some of it off of his palm onto his pants. "Sorry about the gore, I'm not sure why I'm such a mess at the moment." He shrugged goodnatured-ly and held out his hand again. "My name is Ilium, how do you do?" SomethingGood Eiten sighed, walking out of the butcher shop. Uhg, put up with that smell for nothing. He thought, almost mumbling it to himself.
He thought for a moment, then walked to the park. While walking through the park, he found a blue easter egg. He laughed quietly to himself, then put it in his pocket. He then walked to some bushes and poked around in them. "Anyone here?" he said loudly. Heh, some good that'll do if they're asleep. tyrranticus "Sure thing!" Corky did a twirl on the pile of wood. She wanted to ask if the stranger liked the night air too, but figured that it would be too personal of a question. Or... yeah. Um. The stranger didn't seem to be amused by her either. Well darn! That ain't a good first impression. "You don't have to escort me! I'm sure you're very busy right now. I can see it from here. Thank you for saving me, madame!" Corky smiled, laughed, then took the long way-- a wide-circle that arched into the forest-- to the safety zone. She hummed a sweet tune. Twiddledumb Engle shook the hand and gave a smile even though he wanted to wipe the dried blood off his hand. "My name is Engle. Nice to meet you Ilium."
Engle swayed about for a while, looking at the house's decoraction. "Nice place.... Anyway, I'm glad to see you awake. My sister and this other guy was sleeping when me and my friend found them, they were covered in blood and dust too" tyrranticus  A spirited asian girl leaps out of no where. "STOP THY VILLAIN! EXPLAIN NOW AS TO WHERE I AM!" commanded the young girl who suddenly stumbled onto a tire and fell. Contact between her head and a large stone turtle put her out like a light. Silly girl.[ The Fool ] Blink. She seems as chippy as Kailey.. I'm suprised at such positive reactions, especially being stuck underneath all this for some time. A frown adorned her lips as her offer was 'rejected' and nodded her head once more, watching the bobcat leave her sight, wondering whether she should have pointed out the much shorter way. Her conscience assured that the female was going to be alright and told her to head back to the town, since perhaps others needed help carrying the children back. Waving off to the back of the light-wine haired, Cybille climbed down and stepped onto the platform before walking out of the station. Of course bringing along a towel and an umbrella with her. tyrranticus "That's very queer," noted Ilium. "This isn't my house. I just sort of... ended up here." He picked up the book he was reading earlier. "I hope they don't mind that I take this. I found it quite fascinating." He fondly reread the title: The Song of the Kiwis. Well, if they were looking for people, they must've taken them somewhere.
"Shall we go?" Ilium smiled again as he held the door open. Twiddledumb Engle was sort of surprised at the comment the strange made. Was it refering to his name or the house. "Ah, I see. Well, it's still nice anyway.
" he gave a slight frown but smiled again and the weird title of the book. "Funny title for a book."
Engle nodded to Ilium and went outside, waiting for him to follow. Pi-sama Eden this waiting and when in the distance you go to a woman but she cannot distinguish her, she begins to scream and to make signs, she cannot jump her it hurts a lot her knee and the head begins to very strong pain she doesn't believe that she can continue looking for more children, she is tired. When the woman this more near Eden recognizes her she is Cybille, " Cybille help me " she scream.
SomethingGood Eiten jumped at least a foot in the air when he was suddenly being yelled at, and nearly yelled at the top of his lungs. He spun around, struggling to stay upright from the rush of adrenaline and his exhaustion, clutching and breaking countless small branches in the bush. When he saw she had been knocked out, he sighed and fell down to his knees. He was very irritated now. He just glared over at her, slowly lifting his whistle to his mouth and blowing lazily. "Mmmm...." he mumbled to himself. But his collapsing was pretty much a sign that he needed to stop looking for students from the train wreck, now. After someone comes, I am going HOME. He thought out of pure frustration. tyrranticus Ilium followed, happily looking around the grand city at night. "It's pretty here. Is this Greinell?" [ The Fool ] Holding onto the umbrella loosely while the rain heavily plattered against the black material, she looked around the area and spotted Eden, in front of the cafe, screaming her name to grab onto her attention. The nurse quickly rushed over to the white haired child's side and questioned her with a concerned expression. "What is it Eden? Are you hurt?" She obviously did not hear her whistle since the nurse was still within the depths of the train station. Though, as soon as she straightened her back, another shrieking high pitched screech rung throughout the moist air. It seemed like another has found a child but Cybille felt that she needed to tend to Eden first. Twiddledumb Engle smiles at the view. He haven't really take time to look around. "Yup, it sure is. Beautiful isn't it?" tyrranticus "I think I'll like it here. Excuse me, but should I go somewhere?" From the view from the apartment complex's third floor, he could see bright lights and quite a bit of commotion from far off. He pointed at it: "Is that where I should go?" Twiddledumb Engle looks out the window and towards where the boy is pointing. It was the Train Station. "Yup, I believe so. Come one, lets go." He said and tugged Ilium's hand lightly and walked towards the stairs. Pi-sama Eden is happy of seeing Cybille and she hugs her, and slowly she cries, it hurts her head and her knee. " i find other slet child into the Coffe shop but my knee and head hurt so much" she explain Cybille, her wet clothes begins to freeze and the fatigue falls very quickly on her. "I'm so tired Cybille..." she tells half fainting, she feel safe and for that reason she can already rest.
[ The Fool ] Cybille sighed softly at the crying and pats Eden on the head. "It's alright now Eden, I'll do the rest. Here, hold my umbrella and we will be on our way back." The nurse smiled slightly and walked into the store, her dull sky blues searched around then eyed a black cat sleeping. She headed towards his side and picked him up slowly, grunting at the weight difference between him and Milly. Jerking his body upwards, she threw his arms around her shoulders and redid another piggy-back before walking out. "If you could, shelter yourself and the lad here. I'll be fine. The umbrella won't cover the three of us." SomethingGood Eiten squeezed his eyes shut, shivers running through his body and not letting up. "Come on..." he said quietly, starting to think he would never see home again. Okay...I can do it, just a little longer. Just a little longer, and I can go home, take a shower or a bath...and go to bed...he smiled just thinking about being home in bed. He inhaled deeply, then pushed himself up with all his strength. He walked unsteadily to the girl, lifting her the same way he had lifted the last girl, and dragging her through the park towards the sidewalk. Thankfully the wet grass made it easy to slide her along, and didn't take as much of Eiten's strength. tyrranticus Ilium was indifferent to the nice stranger clutching his gorey hand and continued to look around Greinell. Soon they were at the train station.
"I see some familiars. I think I must bare you farewell, young stranger." He smiled and waved the book. "Good evening." The tall, bloody zombie elf left to rejoin his friends. Pi-sama Eden feels better now that this with Cybille and she looks as her picks up the small cat and she takes him in arms, Eden knows that he has to weigh a lot and she marvels of the force of Cybille when she listens to tell Cybille of the umbrella she remembers her, "Cybille I have mine there is, you want that I attempt cover to you and the boy with yours and to cover to my with mine" She says and she goes limping until catching her umbrella.
Twiddledumb Engle smiles as he watched another rejoining with his friend. "Good bye." As the figure dissapeared into the crowd, Engle went towards a nearbye bench and sat down. [ The Fool ] "Mm?" She turns around slightly to face Eden after listening, then shook her head some. Cybille could tell the girl was having trouble balancing herself, she did not wish to deplete the rest of Eden's energy. "No, just shelter yourself and the boy. You're weak.. so don't push yourself." The nurse smiled once more then started on their jounrey back to the train station, moving slower than normal for the convenience of the white haired child. Pi-sama When Eden arrives with her umbrella beside Cybille her nods when hearing Cybille and she decides to use her umbrella like cane for not supporting her knee a lot, and she tries to cover to the child and a little to Cybille, she already is wet so doesn't care her a little more than water but she doesn't say it to Cybille. Eden takes a slow step but she tries to go quicker for that she thinks that soon Cybille of the boy's weight got tired.
[ The Fool ] Backing a few since she had lost her steppings, Cybille could feel the slight shelter. But figured it was because the cat was leaning onto her, so Eden adjusted the umbrella to be right above him. Feeling the droplets of water onto the other half of her body, she turned towards the train station and pointed out that they were there. "Excuse me. I have a child here." She called out to one of the tenders and handed him over to them. "I'm glad you found him Eden. Now, as for you, how are your injuries?" Pi-sama Eden is happy of seeing the station of the train, and to finally see the end of her search and her rest very desert. Then she listens the question of Cybille like in a deep and dreamy fog she responds before fainting " I'm only have cold,my head hurt and my knee too, and i so tired......" in that moment she falls to the floor without knowledge she is dead of fatigue.
Twiddledumb Engle got up after resting enough. He knew inside him that there is still someone out there that needs help. He started walking, kicking the rocks and concrete about as he walks. Soon, he was outside and started walking aimlessly. After sometime, he saw the Pub. "I hope no one is inside..." he said softly and went inside. It was beautiful, cups of glass line in a straight row. Bottles of wine one shelves and beautiful lights shining. [ The Fool ] As she was about to ask whether Eden did like to sit onto one of the benches, her eyes widened to see the girl heading towards the floor and quickly caught her before lowering her down. Without a word, Cybille used her last bit of strength to carry her over to one of the cushioned temporary 'beds' and placed her there, then tended to her wounds as well as cold, dabbing alcohol and whatever medical aids she could find in her own bag. Children like her should not even be out in the rain. Pi-sama Eden in her restless dream begins to move and to sweat, she has a very high fever it seems that when being so much time with her wet clothes she had caught a very strong cold.
[ The Fool ] Cybille sighed and took a seat next to Eden. Making sure no one was watching her, she undressed the girl out of her clothes, managing to not reveal too much skin -since there were still men around- and then rolled her into a strangely large piece of towel. Tilting Eden's head towards her, she opened her mouth and inserted a spoon full of medicine before letting her drink water from her bottle. It really was a bad time to get a fever. Pi-sama It seems that the medicine helps Eden, at least she stops to move disturbs and sje recovers the knowledge, when she see Cybille she smile and she says, "I need to get up I have to look for the child that is missing" She tries to get up but she is not able to her body doesn't make her case and she puckers the frown.
[ The Fool ] "You're not going any where until you get better little missy." Cybille waved a stern finger at Eden before lightening up, she knew the girl was concerned but still. If she were to faint in the middle of the search, it was not going to help her or the people around who wanted her to heal. "You will need all the rest. I'm sure there are others looking for the others right now..." The nurse certainly would not like that to happen. "Besides, I'm not letting you roam around naked. And your clothes are still wet." Pi-sama " but but..." then she understand that Cybille said she is naked " I'm Nacked why" she stared the towel in her little body "who undressed me" she asked a little worried. She begins to look for her clothes hopelessly with the look.
[ The Fool ] "No buts." Cybille wrapped a smaller towel around her shoulders and made Eden rest her head against the cushioned material once more. "I undressed you. And that's because your clothes are wet. You won't get well if you aren't dry dear." She folded her arms and leaned back against a pillar, sighing. Pi-sama Eden:go out here Engle *blushed* i want clothes now >_> Twiddledumb Engle: I can't see anything. Pi-sama Eden: but but Engle can see me *she blushed very hard* [ The Fool ] Cybille: Engle can't see you.. his eyes are covered and that you are covered in a towel. Pi-sama Eden:*stare the towel* this towel is so short Twiddledumb Engle: [Turns away] Put on some clothes. [ The Fool ] Cybille: -Sighs and gives another set clothes to Eden- Once your own is dry, change back. Pi-sama Eden:thanks Cybille i like this jeans and T-sirt .  (( blaugh )) Akkhima Erin rushed to the side of the fallen boy, checking to see if he was OK. He was unconcious, but definitely alive. The boy was obviously knocked unconcious by the falling merchandise, but Erin was unable to determine if he was truely awake before that. Erin made an effort to collect the shattered pieces of ceramic and put them off out of the way before attempting to move him a little. Although he was awkward to move, Erin was able to shift him in to a position that seemed more comfortable.
Erin left him to go to the doorway of the shop to blow his whistle, to get the attention of someone who would be able to carry the boy back to the station. He ducked back inside the shop and went to the counter, where he found a pen and a piece of paper on which he scratched out a note explaining the broken dishes, so the shop owner wouldn't be too concerned.
"Dear sir or madam,
One of the missing children from the train wreck was found in your store. He appears to have stumbled into your shelf and knocked loose a few dishes. You should be happy to know that he is uninjured, however.
Thank you for your understanding,
Erin Ravert" Pi-sama With the dry clothes that Cybille had given her and without fever Eden already decides to leave to her house. " Cybille I can go to home now, I dry and I feel better now" she said while pick up her wet clotes in a bag. " Tanks for all Cybille you are so good" she hug Cybille and kiss her cheek.
[ The Fool ] (Let me redo that so it wouldn't seem so strange.. Cybille warping from one place to another.)
She smiled at Eden and hugged her back very lightly, unused to the sudden physical contact. Cybille nodded her head once before heading out to the train station, waving off to the white haired girl. "Have a safe trip home then. Remember to take your umbrella. Those were her last words as she slipped back into the cloudy darkness.
Making one last round through the pouring streets, she placed her hands into her pockets and shuffled around for her keys, half wondering where she had left it. It's probably in my bag.. I'll go check it afterwards. It was a little strange for Cybille to lose something, let alone forget where she had put it. Sighing quietly, she tilted her head towards a sign which pointed out where each individual area was and deciding she had not been to the left side, the nurse made her way around the park, still dazed and tired from the event. Her ears twitched around so often at the large platters on the rain drops tapping against her umbrella. SomethingGood Eiten was pulling her along fine and walking backwards toward the sidewalk, when he rather suddenly tripped and fell right down, the girl falling to lay across his legs, trapping him where he was. Eiten squeezed his eyes shut, balling his fists and holding them up by his face. His face quickly went red from anger, and he yelled out of frustration. "I just wanna go home!" he then yelled in a whiny tone, completely ignoring how childish he was being. [ The Fool ] Her head snapped in the direction of where a frustrated voice emitted,as it ripped through the rain, and moved even closer towards the park since that was where it had came from. Sky blues searched about the bushes and then came across a familiar boy with a girl on top of him. Eiten? Are you alright?" She quickly walked over and bent down to see what was wrong. It was only then did she realize the child was asleep. The last lost kid? SomethingGood Eiten, so relieved to see someone, just fell flat on his back. "Fine.." he said weakly. "She just lept outta nowhere and started yelling at me, then she fell and hit her head and passed out. I think she's from the train wreck..." he said, sounding very uninterested and only telling her since he thought she may want to know. "Can you get her offa me now?" [ The Fool ] Raising an eyebrow, she said nothing and used the rest of her strength to pull the Asian girl off Eiten, slowly picking her up by supporting her back with one hand and another which was used to wrap around her legs. Cybille guessed the boy was having a bad day, seeing how he was slightly different from the last time she saw him. A little more.. enthusiastic. She waited for him to get off the floor before leaving for the train station. At least this child isn't too heavy. Much like Engle's sister. SomethingGood Eiten gripped the roots of a nearby tree, pulling himself up to stand slowly with the tree. He stood while holding onto the branches, waiting to see if he was going to fall over. He pushed his wet hair out of his eyes with the back of his hand, then sniffed and looked over at Cybille. Though he was soaked head to toe, a lot of it was sweat. His scent was not a pleasant one. "What do you want me to do?" he asked. He wanted to get right down to business so he could get some rest. [ The Fool ] She shivered as a cold feeling shot down her spine. Hopefully it was something else and not a flu coming on, the nurse could not afford to be sick at all. "You don't really have to do anything.. unless you wish to carry my umbrella over to shelter you and the girl here." Cybille used her head to point out the black shade leaning back onto her shoulder, just barely covering the head of the child in her arms. It would be a problem to balance it for a few more meters and she probably could not pick it up once it had fallen. SomethingGood Eiten nodded. "Sure..." he mumbled, looking around on the ground. He grabbed a stick, and using a lot of his remaining strength, snapped the long stick to half its length, so he could use it as a walking stick. He then grabbed the umbrella, holding it over them. "Let's do this fast." he said impatiently. [ The Fool ] Cybille twitched at the sound of his tone but tried her best to focus on getting the lost kid to the train station. Her walking pace was not too slow and not too fast, since.. one, Eiten was impatient and two, he had a walking stick which meant he would not be able to stumble around quickly. Adjusting her grip around the child, her eyes squinted as a flash of light was pointed that way and the same man came running out. "He found her in the park.." Was all the elf said before handing the girl to him, feeling rather relief of the extra weight hanging down on her. He nodded a thanks to Eiten and ran over to the safety zone.
"Well. You can rest now.." Psycho.Origami Valerie lay curled up near Obert's umbrella, clutching the flashlight with both hands. A cold shiver ran through her body; the hallway wasn't much warmer than the gym and she was still quite wet.
A faint voice called out from the dark, but was inaudible to her. She tightened her grip on the flashlight and scooted closer to the wall to be a less obvious sight. Her ears perked up. Again the voice rang out, and this time is was obviously closer, and familiar. Ferra A wave of relief passed over Obert as he heard Valerie's weak reply. He sprinted the final length of the hallway until his and her own flashlight illuminated the startled lamb. From the audible shuffling in the darkness, it was obvious she had been cowering on the floor (no more than a few feet away from where the dragon-girl lay) but was now pressed against a nearby wall. She was a sorry sight to behold: soaked a shivering, although Obert likely looked no better.
At first he was at a loss for words, but after a few moments Obert stated awkwardly, "The girl arrived safely." Psycho.Origami Valerie stared up at Obert. Had she of been the judging type, she would of seen that he was indeed a sorry sight to behold with his disheveled hair and soaking wet clothing. A weak but honest smile came upon her face at the news of the girl. She nodded, "That's wonderful." She laid her head back down on the floor, although she didn't do much to help, the cold left her exhausted. Ferra Obert's doctorial instincts kicked in and he immediately attended his sleepy patient; she was likely suffering from mild hypothermia. He furrowed his brow trying to assess the best course of action. The room temperature would only drop the more they dawdled and he had no dry clothes to offer her. Moving somewhere warmer seemed like the best plan.
"Valerie," he whispered, "I'm going to carry you home." Psycho.Origami Valerie nodded, uttering a soft "ok". Ferra Since Valerie was conscious, Obert bent down in order to give her a piggy-back ride. Once he had a strong grip on her legs and felt her small hands around his shoulders he stood upright and started walking back down the hallway. He had stowed his flashlight in one of his larger coat pockets (though it didn't fit all the way inside) and relied on Valerie's light instead. However, he probably could have managed the trip by memory alone. Shortly before reaching the gymnasium entrance, Obert made a stunning revelation: he had no idea where he was going.
"Valerie," he asked with a slight shrug to ensure she was still awake, "do you live nearby?" He hoped she stayed in a school dorm, which was only a short walk away from the schoolhouse. Psycho.Origami Valerie nodded, "In the dorms.." She rested her head on one of his shoulders. "Room twenty.. on the third floor." Her voice was gradually getting quieter. Ferra Her fading voice was worrisome, so Obert picked up his pace as he crossed the gym floor for the fourth time that day. They were soon outside and on their way to the dorms, where she'd hopefully be able to warm and dry off. He approached the first building and spotted room one, room two, and so forth until he came across a stairwell. Obert looked up the spiraling staircase with little enthusiasm. He was painfully reminded of his own exhaustion as he begrudgingly ascended towards the Valerie's room on the third floor.
A few steps past the second floor Obert lost his footing and narrowly avoided a disastrous tumble by wobbling until he regained his balance. After pausing to steady himself, he resumed his arduous climb. Finally they reached the third floor and room twenty was plainly in view. Outside the door, Obert twisted the handle and expected to be let inside yet conversely collided with the wooden slab. While uttering a faint malediction under his breath, Obert quickly concluded (as rational thought would suggest) that the door was locked.
Obert examined the doorway for any sign of a hide-a-key, not wanting to disturb Valerie, who he presumed was fading out of consciousness. "Under the welcome mat?" he thought hopefully. "No, that'd be far too obvious." However a swift kick exposed a shiny object barely concealed below. Grumbling quietly at her carelessness and with some difficulty, he bent down to pick up the key and successively unlocked the door. He found himself inside a quaint room that very much matched the sheepish personality of its owner.
Soft, earthy tones presided, giving the dorm a warm feeling like the dull glow of an oven. Had Obert been more attentive, he'd be overwhelmed by the sickeningly cute decorations and plush animals adorning her shelves and spare surfaces. (The flying strawberry sat atop one of her pillows, perhaps indicating she slept with it at night.) However, the subtle aroma of baked goods was hard to ignore. He laid Valerie gently atop her downy bed sheets and began rummaging for a set of dry clothes and towels. When he came across what appeared to be pajamas and a grass-patterned towel embroidered with a grazing sheep, he returned to her bedside to present them.
Giving Valerie a mild shake Obert murmured, "Time to wake up, I have some dry clothes for you." Psycho.Origami Valerie rolled to her side, facing Obert. Half-way opening her sleepy eyes she nodded and slowly sat up. Her head felt fuzzy but at this point she just felt heavily tired. She hung her legs over the side of the bed. Looking down at her clothes, she looked back up at Obert, and back to her clothes again. Ferra Obert stood for a while dumbly (the exhaustion had caused a brief lag in thought) but he quickly realized how improper it was for a near-thirty-year-old to watch a girl of ten (he assumed) undress, even if he considered Valerie his patient. He walked swiftly around the corner and slumped against a wall facing away from her general direction. Psycho.Origami Once Obert was far enough away, and facing the opposite direction, Valerie began to change into her pajamas. Soon enough she was in her warm and dry pajamas. They happened to be one of many oversized pairs of PJs but she never really minded, especially at this time. Once fully redressed, she curled up on her bed. "I-I'm done.." Ferra Obert propped himself upright and walked back over to her bedside. Now that she was relatively dry, Valerie seemed to be slowly warming up to a safe temperature.
"Rest for the remainder of tonight with plenty of sheets," he rattled off his prescription, "but don't take a warm shower right away; heating too quickly can be dangerous."
He eyed the door acquisitively. Obert was looking forward to sleeping tonight, without a reward. Psycho.Origami Valerie nodded and clambered under her covers. "Thank you," she yawned as she rested her head on her pillow, grabbing the nearest plush, which happened to be the strawberry. "Thank you," she repeated and yawned again, beginning her descent into slumber. Ferra Obert, still drenched and tired, watched Valerie peacefully slip into a doze and felt a bit out of place in the childish room. He started towards the door when he heard Valerie roll slightly and turned to see one of her covers already pushed aside. Had she been awake, he might have chided her carelessness, but instead returned and tucked her sheets tightly to ensure that she would remain covered for the remainder of the night. As he headed for the door a second time, he noticed the handy-down umbrella he snatched from the train station. Valerie must have kept it with her after she ran back inside the school. He smiled faintly as he grabbed the umbrella, just in case it was still raining outside.
"It's been a long day," Obert breathed as he quietly shut the door. SomethingGood *forces Eiten to roll too* Eiten: gonk !! I'm still achy!! >_>....oops! [ The Fool ] So am I. ><
o_o Oh noes! -Sends Cybille to tend to him-
Cybille: ... <<
What? That's your JOB! SomethingGood Eiten: T__T o_O Bad first impression...s, Cybille? XD [ The Fool ] Cybille: -Keeps quiet and carries Eiten to a bed-
She doesn't mind Eiten too much, right? :3
Cybille: -Hisses-
o_o; SomethingGood .___. Scary Cybille. *hides* Ack, I'm starting to fall asleep at my desk. >__O I should go to bed. Byebye! *waves, drags Eiten off* Eiten: X____X Oww... [ The Fool ] Cybille is scary, ain't she? xD -Gets bricked-
Aww. Okies! Have a good night's sleep.
Cybille: -Blinks and waves at Eiten to take care of himself- [ The Fool ] Eek! o_o
Cybille: -Heads over to Sam and checks if anything is broken- SomethingGood *starts to drool* Eiten: >_> Err, don't worry about that... .___. It's normal... [ The Fool ] o_____o;;;;
Cybille: ... Okay. -Gives Sam some medicine- SomethingGood *takes medicine*....eeewwww, it tastes like medicine. D: [ The Fool ] Medicine is GOOD FOR YOU! Ferra Obert: *cheers* Thank God another woman is finally here. [Note: Referring to Laurie's return] -------- [From Contest Thread] Pi-sama Eden goes for a walk peacefully for the streets of the city thinking a little of all that had happened for some days, she hopes all the children are well, and a small but brilliant smile can see in her face while she goes for a walk. Suddenly she stops in front of a window, and she looks curious the exposed books. Xenostatica Milly was still alittle lost in the events and was wandering down the street trying to figure out what she was going to do and how she was going to make new friends. Maybe if she went to somewhere popular to hang out she would find someone to talk with. She wasn't exactly paying attention as she kicked the back of her heel and fell face first on the sidewalk, "Ah!" Pi-sama Eden listens a small scream and a fall suddenly and she is rotated quickly to do a girl with the hair in amusing ponytails that she to fallen, and quickly trying not to laugh brings near her, " are you well !!" she ask to the new girl. Xenostatica Milly rubbed her hands together as she turned red hearing that someone saw her fall, "I am well, just a little ditzy," she chuckled and look at Eden. "I'm really sorry, I didn't fall on you are anything?" Pi-sama Eden looks at Milly and she smiles brilliantly, she lengthens her a hand to help her to get up of the floor and she tells her, " Dont Worry, you don't fall in me, I'm looking in the windows this interesty books " she said while she point the windows. Xenostatica Milly smiled and took her hand, "Oh, thank you." She looked at the window that was commented on, "what did you see? Anything fun?" Pi-sama " you are wellcome, I'm Eden", she smiles kindly and she centers her attention to the window and she comments distractedly "Interesting books of Magic History and some Fairies Tales " She smile again an turn toward the girls " I find a interesting Fairy tale in the library" she comments absent Xenostatica Milly smiled at her introduction, "I'm Milly, it is nice to meet you." She turned to the window and looked at all the books, "Fairy tales and Magic history..." she looked back and forth, hoping a little as she tried to read all the titles, "A fairy tale at the library, what was it about?" she turned back smiling at Eden. Pi-sama " Nice to meet you, Milly" Eden smile and tell her about the book "A few days I went to the library and I found a very interesting tale, it was two children that got lost in a forest and they found a house of chocolate where a witch lived, the witch capture them and while the girl cleaned the witch fattened the boy to eat up him...." She tell the history a Milly . " I think the title is " Hansel and Grettel" " Xenostatica "Hansel and Gredel?" Milly thought for a moment before continuing, "What's that about? I know a story ,but is it scary?" Pi-sama
Eden looks pensively at Milly," Well, is easily frightened a little but I like and I remember the time that I was lost in the forest a little" ,she smiles kindly, " of course I wasn't meett any witch, that gives fear" a chill travels her when she says it. Xenostatica "I would think a witch would be scary, but not as scary as some monster or something," Milly laughed a little, "Lost in the forest would be kind of fun if I knew it was safe. I will have to 'memeber that story name. I would like to read it." Pi-sama Eden smiles charmingly to Milly and nods, " To my I like a lot and it has a good end ", Eden puts a finger in her cheek, her expression when she is thinking, and she is happened a great idea, " Can you go with me to the Library?, please said yes" she said so delighted. Xenostatica Milly pulled on one of her pig tails and twirled as she thought about the question, "I don't think I have anything to do..." she stopped and pointed her finger straight into the air. "Yes! I will go with you!" she seemed to be shouting. Pi-sama Eden smiles brilliantly and she screams, " Great" in that same instant she catches the hand of Milly and she runs toward the library, she's charmed that she will finally show her favorite place to somebody. Xenostatica Milly grinned at Eden's excitement and stubbled as she tried to not trip over herself as she could to follow behind as her hand and new friend was leading the way, "This is going to be fun!" Pi-sama When she hearing Milly, she even smiles more, " the library is incredible it is gigantic and it has many different books in it, I like a lot to read because in each book you find a different world where to be able to have a good time ". Saying this arrives in front to an enormous building of big columns and an enormous stairway, " Look the Library!!". Xenostatica Milly looked up and round the large building, "Wow, it is the most intersting building I have seen!" Her eyes widen with excitment, "We can go to any world we want in books, let's go find one together!" Pi-sama Eden giggle "Come on Milly", Eden begins the stairways that take to the entrance of the library to ascend and when she arrives up sje is rotated to see if Milly follows her, Then Eden enters and greets the librarian "Hello Miss" Eden says in low voice for not bothering. Xenostatica Milly followed close behind, carefully she stepped and followed Eden. Milly smiled, "Hello Miss!" She followed the same greeting as Eden as she had been following her anyway. Pi-sama Eden catches the hand of Milly and she continues walking and she whispers " we go to the reading room you don't go away a lot this it can be a real labyrinth". Eden takes to Milly among immense bookcases full with books of all type, it seemed really a labyrinth without end, it seemed that the reading room that Eden said didn't exist, looks where looks at these surrounded of books and bookcases without end. Suddenly leave a light spice and in the distance leave a comfortable corner with armchairs and sofas, tables and lamps, a welcoming corner where to read peacefully. "This reading room is almost secret, more as my special corner, This very hidden one and for that reason almost nobody knows where it is" She whispers and smiles kindly to Milly. Xenostatica Milly smiled at her new friend revealing something that she thought was secret. She nodded as Eden explained everything to her and smiled spread softly across her lips, "So this little spot is where the worlds come to life?" Pi-sama " yes, here is where the worlds come to live" Eden looses the hand of Milly and sits down in one of the armchairs, "This is my favorite armchair. tell me Milly. what type of books do you like?" She smiles and she looks at Milly with expectation, she is very happy of met somebody that has wanted to accompany to her corner. Xenostatica Milly covered her mouth as she giggled at how small Eden looked in the armchair. She sat down on the floor near the chair legs and thought for a moment. She twirled her hair a little and took a deep breath, "I like fairy tales, ghost stories, and stories about friends," she smiled up at Eden, "Plus magic is wonderful. I also like painting books, they have beautiful ideas of the world." -------- 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... (End on pg. 1141)

Nikkio Lincoln coughed heavily, having breathed in the shop's kicked-up dust a mite too deeply. He had the strangest sensation that an entire drumset (symbols included) had crashed right onto his head. It wasn't a very pleasant feeling, to say the least. He was more of a stringed instrument person, himself.
"Erm, ow..."
Several moments of sitting there later it occurred to him that maybe his vision wasn't getting any clearer because the room was actually dark. Lincoln pushed himself up, tenderly at first (a plate happened to miss the target and got his hand instead). A little ways off a child, presumably around his age (but then you always have to watch which race they were; a physically preteen boy could be anything from 12 to 53 years old), was scribbling out a note on the counter. He sorely (pun unintended) hoped it wasn't a relative of the owner- having an enormous debt on your hands was a bad way to start off in a new town... that is, if they were in the new town. Where the biscuits was he, anyways? "'Elo over there," he mumbled as casually as a train wreck victim could, "if it isn't much trouble, could you tell me where we are and if I have any china embedded in my brain? Just wondering." Akkhima Erin turned quickly. "Oh! You're awake!" He was very surprised, as he had assumed the boy had fallen under the mysterious deep sleep, but apparently it had only been the knock to the head. He rushed to the boy's side, placing a hand on his shoulder to discourage him from moving too abruptly and worsening any injuries. "I checked you over earlier, and I didn't see any cuts at all. I think you're fine, but you should be careful." Nikkio Lincoln rubbed his head. "Oh, really? Shame. Leastaways I could've gotten rid of the pain then..." Noting the other's hand on his shoulder, Lincon pushed himself up, promptly bopping into the offending shelf which caused all the pain to begin with. The compounding injuries to his head made it hurt much more than normal. He winced. "WONDERFUL town you've got 'ere, loving it already. And such pleasant furniture!" He looked at Erin as he scooted from the evil shelf. "How's the rest of the train? Everyone else get out all right?" Akkhima
"Last I heard, almost everyone was found... and then I found you." Erin thought for a moment, "And no one has been seriously hurt, that we know of." He grabbed the boy's hand and tried to pull him out of the shop, since he seemed to be able to move with no problems. "Come on, we need to get you to the train station so they know you're OK."Nikkio was in no position to argue. He followed dutifully, looking around as he went. As much as he loved storms, today was an exception. "That's good to hear. I'm Lincoln- Lincoln Wong, if you were wondering. Yourself?" He dodged a half-broken teaset. "Oh and, would you happen to've seen Lan? Pale hair, 'round my size, half cat, pain in the rear?" Akkhima Erin shook his head as he paused in the doorway and looked out into the rain. "I saw one boy with light blue hair, but he wasn't awake, so I don't know if he's the one you're talking about." Erin stepped through the doorway and pushed his umbrella open once he was through. He paused a moment to allow Lincoln to get underneath. "Oh, my name's Erin, by the way. Erin Ravert." Nikkio "Thanks much," Lincoln nodded appreciatively as he stepped beneath the umbrella. "Ahh, he's probably all right. Wouldn't put it past him to be stealing whistles and blowing false alarms or something... Nice to meet you, Erin. Where we headed?" AmelieBeau  Lan snorted and dazedly shook his head-- noooooo one understands~ He pressed his cheek against the wood surface of the bar and groaned. Too much. Too much. Even his own breath was getting to him. Damn alcohol smell. Such a bother. So much of a bother. Bother bother bother bother.
The feline closed his eyes and tried to block out everything.Anti-Dri Engle notice a person lying on the bar. He walked towards it and started shaking him. "Excuse me....Are you okay? I think we better bring you back to town, everyone is worried" Engle said softly and stopped shaking. Engle stood outside the bar and started blowing the whistle with all his might. "I hope somebody comes..." Akkhima "We're headed to the Train Station. That's where everyone is gathered. If your friend has been found, that's where he'd be now." Erin really hoped that this boy's friend was actually at the train station, he would feel horrible if he wasn't. He really hoped, also, that everyone had now been found, because the initial adrenaline was completely gone, and he felt almost ready to fall asleep in a corner of the town and not wake up. He smiled to himself at the thought, and wondered about where he would have gone to if it had been him. He loved sitting up on the roof of the school building, but he probably wouldn't have done so in this rain. Nikkio  "The train station, eh? That's nice- I'm sorry to say I haven't gotten to see it yet." He shook off a little lingering dust, attempting to look semipresentable in half-moist, wrinkled, filthy clothes...well, can't blame a boy for trying. "Hope you all weren't busy with something important when we er, dropped in."Anti-Dri "Where is everybody,I guess I'm on my own..." Engle said and turn back into the bar. Lan just stayed there, not moving at all. "How am I going to bring him back." He gave a sigh and dragged Lan slowly, trying his best not to knock him into stuff.
After numerous tries, he manages to drag him out, onto the street. "Oh boy...It's going to be a long way back to the station." Engle started walking slowly, pulling Lan along... Anti-Dri "I...see....it. Argh..." Engle moaned and fell onto the floor, his arms are tired and sore and so are his feet. "Just a few more steps..."
Engle got back onto his feet slowly and tried another way of dragging Lan. "What does he eat..."
After endless minutes of dragging, well, to Engle, He finally reach the stadium. He pull Lan slightly towards the middle of the building and collapsed onto the floor, hoping somebody find them. (End on pg. 1176, Check from pg. 1177)
