          “I have never seen such a manner of dressing before- is it not more convenient and practical to wear it as one or two articles rather than several small components? Both Nefertari and Isetnofret seemed to like the simplicity of their clothes and showed intricacy in jewelry instead!”     // @blisscde  ❤’d for a starter

     ✤ “practical? sure. but wearing them this way is much cuter! jewelry’s cute, too, but it gets in the way when i fight,” says the girl who wears a long-ass scarf wherever she goes. “plus, cent likes what i wear; he says it makes me look ravishing.” she flushes just as the words leave her mouth. oops, she hadn’t quite meant to say that. she pushes on, trying to ignore her growing embarrassment. “you’re wearing almost as little as me! is it common where you’re from?”

     ✤ “hey, you!” she waves her arm in the air, intending to grab the attention of the man a few feet in front of her. “i’m lost; do you know the way back to district 5?”

“Really? Thank you very much! It’s been very difficult for me to navigate this city so far, so being able to take this class will be a great help.” They pass her their phone. The Hive Academy page is already open, by virtue of speech recognition. Thank goodness for modern technology. “First I need to find the application. Unfortunately I can’t even make it that far…”

     ✤ “of course! it’s really easy to get lost here, isn’t it?” she accepts the offered device from them and proceeds to stare at it blankly. she can recgonize the words on the front of it, but she is completely stumped on what it actually is. “what the heck is this?” she asks, poking at the screen with a finger and blinking in shock when it moves. “is it supposed to do that?” she sure hopes she didn’t break the thing; that would not be a good start.

But how can I learn to read and write if I need to fill out a written application to go to school to learn how to read and write…

     ✤ i can help you fill out whatever this application is! i used to teach kids how to read and write all the time. it’s easy once you get the hang of it.

     ✤ HER STOMACH GROWLS. it feels like she hasn’t eaten in days, which could be the truth for all she knows. her memories after cathedral city, after the children, are murky; she finds that she doesn’t want to dwell on them, not now ( not ever ), so she focuses on trying to find something to eat. 

     at this point, anything will due, so when a man walks past her, with something that smells absolutely divine in his hands, she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and grab him by the arm.

     “that smells so good!” she says, a sparkling look in her eyes. “where did you get it?”

     ✤ SHE CAN FEEL EYES ON HER; when she looks around, she can see a boy staring at her. or, at least, she assumes he’s staring, since she can’t actually see most of his face due to the large, floppy hat he’s wearing. she’s used to people staring at her with many different types of expressions on their faces, but something about this feels... off.

     “do you... want something?” she asks, unusually hesitant.

     ✤ A FLASH OF WHITE has two spinning around, scanning the thinning crowd with frantic eyes. her heart is pounding, and when she spots her she feels it stop. 

     “zero?” it’s a croak more than anything. she swallows, taking a step forward and another and another until she’s pushing her way through the crowd, stumbling over her own feet. she knows that they’re supposed to be enemies, knows that zero most likely doesn’t even want to see her but — !

     ”zero!” a shout this time, loud enough to turn heads in such a loud city. she only hopes that it’s loud enough for the oldest intoner to hear.

     ✤ SHE ISN’T EXPECTING her mumbling to catch anyone’s attention, especially not in this bustling city. nor is she expecting someone to catch her when she stumbles. the man’s hands are rough against her skin, nothing at all like the one’s she’s expecting and she almost, almost flinches. 

     two can tell that his words are kind and said out of worry, but she can’t bring herself to believe them. or him. “but what if there’s nothing left? what if this darkness never leaves?” she’s never been one to hide her emotions, even from strangers, so she feels no shame at blurting this out to someone she’s just met.

[blisscde-old-blog]

     ✤ THE SCIENTIST’S EXPLANATION goes in one ear and out the other. she doesn’t know why she’s here, why she’s awake, why she can no longer feel the flower’s heavy, heavy presence in the back of her mind. she knows she should be content with this - happy even! but the knowledge of what she did, of the people she killed ( good people, who looked to her for guidance, for protection ), of the children she couldn’t protect is enough to send her spiraling again.

     she leans against the wall of a large building, tucked away out of sight of the bustling crowd, and hides her face in her hands, trembling. the wooden sword she was holding clatters to the ground.

     she tries not to cry, she really does, but it’s just all too much.

     she doesn’t even know what happened to her sisters, to cent. she misses them, misses him, like the ache of a long-lost limb. she’s never been alone before, not once in her entire life. she’s always had her sisters, had her lover, had her people, had the children.

     what is she supposed to do now?

scindeva:

Reading up on “Branch E”, as the Side Story Novel seems to have been dubbed. It seems the fandom has actually been misinterpreting Two’s catatonic state this whole time. Not that that’s anyone’s fault, since this is only explained in the 5th branch.

It implies that at some point in the final chapter of Two’s DLC chapter – most likely after the homunculus fight starts –, the player is actually controlling Two as taken over by the Flower. 

The corrupted and mutated soldiers and children send Two into such a state of shock that she is unable to fight, and so the Flower takes her over. 

After the fight, she falls under the catatonic spell we all know and hopefully don’t love. We’ve always assumed that this is a “mind break” of sorts from the incident at the orphanage, but the novel confirms, that at least in this 5th branch, that it was voluntary. 

Two became aware of the Flower, and so she retreated into herself of her own volition so she could fight her own power. Her odd behavior, such as refusing food, was done because she felt that if she weakened herself, she would in turn weaken the Flower’s influence. 

This implies that the Flower actually took Two over long before the other girls, because its hold on her never completely breaks after this point except for in a brief instance that I’ll get to. But she seems to retain her sense of self and the willpower to voluntarily shut herself down to try to impede the Flower’s influence.

In the midst of it all, she strongly desires to speak to Cent, which actually briefly neutralizes the Flower’s hold on her. She tells him not to blame himself, and explains that the Orphanage Incident is not the main cause of the state that she’s in and that she needed to lock herself in herself in her attempt to combat her own power. She’s losing that fight, and so she asks him to do two things. She asks him to kill her, and for him to survive. She smiles at him before succumbing again to the Flower. 

This explains why she is absent from Branch D as well, and why before his regression to a dove Cent talks as if she were already dead.

Disclaimer that I’m not 100% fluent and so some details might be a little off,  but I believe this is about the jist of it!

“it’s like i have so much happiness, i’m worried it’s all going to spill out.”

TWO // DRAKENGARD 3

the best intoner and i’ll fight anyone who says otherwise

also the kindest of her sisters, esp when it comes to children

she loves children! in her world she built orphanages in her land and took in any child she could, eventually coming to view them as her own

she’s super, super happy and upbeat and super, super, super lovey-dovey with her “one true love” cent to the point of it literally disgusting and annoying other people.

or she would be if he were here with her

she loves to cook and can make Good Food out of the weirdest ingredients (trolls,  minotaurs, monsters, etc)

i’m not getting into the weird-ass intoner shit but, for all intents and purposes, she’s in her late teens despite being “created” two years ago (in her canon, that is) and she generally acts like a peppy teenage girl!

or she would if she wasn’t highly unstable due to the events in her canon that basically put her in a catatonic state,  where she then proceeded to fight an evil flower hellbent on world destruction (one again, not getting into that can of worms)

so right now, she’s just wandering around hive city, sad and lost, looking for any of her sisters or cent and is definitely not as upbeat as she generally is.

pls love her thanks
