Who: Yuuki Kurosu + You!
When: Day 63, Evening
Where: Shrine Area
What: Intro ;;

[Death is cruel and brutally fair. It doesn't play favorites or give anyone special attention. Not even to children. That's why the cries of the little girl, calling hopelessly for the familiar voice of her adoptive father and other loved ones are only met with silence. It's useless though, and deep down she knows it. After a while her cries give way to more confusion and panic.

Crouching down and trembling, she drags her knees up close to her small body and covers her ears, eyes shut tight. She's alone all over again. Pale and white as a ghost, her voice shakes, as though it might shatter in any moment.]

K, Kaname-sama, I'm scared...

[After being eaten, what will happen to her now?]

(ooc: Sorry I was late and missed the group intro ;; /FAILLL)

[tenebrist]

[... Oh no not a baby :(

Kneeling down to check up on her!]

... It's alright.

[gardenboxed]

[Her eyes widen, and her head jerks up with a start. Freezing, she stares, breath cutting off on a gasp, leaning back. Her lips crack, heart stopped in her chest. Someone safe...?]

[tenebrist]

It's alright. Cry if you need to.

[Smiles, tentatively trying to pat her head!]

[gardenboxed]

[She flinches, as though expecting something else, but it doesn't come. Of course not...not everyone is like that man was. She swallows thickly, with a small attempt to stop her lip from trembling.]

Who are you?

[overclocking]

[Was passing through, but... pausing.

O-oh... they're not usually tinies...]

Hey...

[gardenboxed]

[Lifting her head in surprise at the voice, fingers covering her mouth in fright - before the initial burst of fear drains, just slightly, at the appearance of the person in front of her.

Just a boy...? She doesn't speak, to start, uncertain.]

[overclocking]

[He kneels down in front of her carefully, taking note of what she had been calling out before... and then responds in Japanese, rather than the native Thusian]

No one's going to harm you. You're safe.

[gardenboxed]

[She licks her lips, a small measure of relief felt to no longer be alone. For moment more she studies him, before finally opening her mouth to speak in a quiet voice.]

Is this heaven...? [She doesn't feel dead. Only that she can remember dying.]

[foil]

[she's so tiny - it reminds him of children from the orphanage.... ugh these memories, crouches down but keeps a comfortable distance, pulling his hood down, there's a faint blood smell, possibly a minor cut]

Are you okay?

[gardenboxed]

[Her head pops up, and, still trembling, she watches him for a moment. She's not completely alone...

Tongue flicking out, she expects it to feel dry, but it doesn't. The taste of salt accompanies the action, her tears leaving invisible trails in their wake. Large droplets still cling to her lashes.

After a stretch of silence, she finally shakes her head.]

I-I'm not sure.

[foil]

[what horrible luck- he's so weak to children]

Well-- [he slowly lowers to sit indian style on the floor, cloak dirty, but wrapped around him, glancing to the others fussing over the small girl]

It'll be okay here. There are a lot of nice people, and I arrived, like you did, only a few days ago. [offers a clean part of his cloak after searching] You can use this to wipe your eyes if you want.

[gardenboxed]

[Her eyes widen, fingers curling around the fabric in surprise.]

But I'll get it dirty...

[chivalric]

[ ... Making his way over, stopping a short distance away from her and crouching down. ]

Miss?

[gardenboxed]

[Swallowing, she glances up, still faintly trembling as her fingers dig in against herself. She looks as though she wants to talk, but the words and emotions fumble in the back of her throat. Instead she manages a half sob, tears still filling her eyes.]

[chivalric]

[ At the tears he keeps himself still and non-threatening, or as much as a man in armor can be, offering a small smile instead. ]

You needn't speak right away, Miss.

[tonewlengths]

[So small... Kneeling down do her]

Hey.

[gardenboxed]

[Curling up more, her face hidden beneath her not as long hair.]

W-Who are you?

[tonewlengths]

My name is Rapunzel. I'm sorry, I know you're scared... And, there might be some scary things here, but there are also a lot of good people that can fight them away. You're not alone now, okay?

[freelancetogoodhome]

[comes over to take a knee beside her]

It's alright.

[gardenboxed]

[But it's not...W-What is she going to happen to her? A hand scrubbing across her face she rubs her eyes]

I-I don't know what to do.

[freelancetogoodhome]

[bebes ;-;]

You may do what you like, but perhaps something to drink and a snack would be welcome?

[autorejoin]

[ oh it's a little person, that's awkward ]

Uh... hey there, kid..

[gardenboxed]

[Trembling, she curls up tighter against herself.]

[autorejoin]

[ holds out his hands so she can see them, they're empty ]

Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you.

[pencilpremonition]

[Here comes Becca, attempting to simply pull the girl into her arms in a gentle hug.]
