sovereignswrath:

Sakura… A very nice name. Watching her eat the pastry was quite comforting. and he was relieved she seemed to be calming… But now he was the one getting anxious. Maybe because he’d spent too much time outside, or perhaps the thought of this girl not being able to get her necklace back was troubling, but the situation suddenly hit him like a brick. God, he was socialising out of nowhere. With a child, nonetheless. This was definitely not included in his plans for today.

He felt his face heat up as Sakura trailed off, and he felt stuck in the silence. Did she want something? Why was she giving him that look? Thoughts suddenly started rushing through his head as he clammed up, and realised there was only one thing he could do.

He looked down on the antique doll he had been holding, and then placed her on his knee.

“I’m sorry, young lady! This is Shu, and I am Mademoiselle. Shu isn’t very good at talking to people, so sometimes it’s best if I deal with conversation instead. I’m glad you like the croissant! I wish that I could enjoy them too.“

Shu began putting on a high pitched voice as he moved her arms around, his mouth staying relatively still during the process. Although the doll’s expression was fixed on a gentle smile, Shu still looked quite troubled, although he tried to keep his face turned away. 

“I’m sure your precious thing is around here somewhere, Miss Sakura. Was it a gift from someone important to you..?

She blinked, staring at the doll in surprise. That’s... certainly not what she expected. Glancing up at him as the doll explained her sudden appearance, she realized he must have been pretty nervous. Sakura hadn’t even noticed this entire time... Looking back at the doll, she put on as much of a smile as she could at the moment.

“Nice to meet you, Shu and Mademoiselle!” She replied, tempted to give Mademoiselle a nickname due to how hard it was to say her name. “A gift...?” She certainly hadn’t considered it a gift when she first got it, but... “Yeah, it is. It’s how I met a lot of my friends, too.”

“Ooone.”

    Whether this count off is for the loud bang upon the door to the bar, or the amounts of sips he’s taken from his glass is unknown. Comfortably does he sit in the abandoned establishment contrasting the chaos displayed outside.

“Twooo.”

It seems his last sip was more of a gulp as ice slam against his teeth. The man spluttering and rocking back on the stool in surprise. He would’ve fallen straight off the seat if not for his iron like grip on the railing of the bar. 

“Three?”

Sorrowfully does he look down from his empty glass to the front door. He had gotten used to the poundings every hour but these were happening more rapidly than before. It was when that knock Four, Five, and Six came in quick succession that he raised up to make his way to the entrance in a hurry. The container of his liquid courage practically tossed in exchange for a had on his weapon.

One hand on the hilt hanging off his back, the other on the door knob as he forced it open to be met face to face with a possible enemy.

Instead… was a little girl.

She felt like an absolute idiot at the moment. Of course the first time she loses her key to the apartment was during a zombie apocalypse where she was most prone to dying. She was scared, yes, but she was more so just annoyed at herself. Now here she was, knocking on people’s doors and running away from zombies after sitting at said doors for a few minutes waiting for someone to answer.

Staring at the zombies at the next door, she wondered for a bit how to get past them. Well, she had never tried hurting them herself.

She promptly knocks them out for a bit by....hitting them with her wand. Well, that was certainly one way to get that done. Now that that’s over with, she knocks on the door a few times. Please be home. 

Relief filled her mind as the door opened, but that was discarded almost immediately at the incredulous look this older man was giving her. “Excuse me, would you let me sleep here for the night?” That definitely wasn’t a weird thing to ask a man this age. Definitely.

Shu nodded slowly as he listened, and glanced at his immediate surroundings. Although he considered his eyesight to be very good, he didn’t seem to see anything which looked like a necklace nearby. How troublesome… He didn’t want to have to get on his hands and knees for this, but he knew that if he brushed it off so fast, the girl might be reduced to tears… And he’d rather take a few minutes to lend her a helping hand than to have a crying child outside of his window.

“It seems that I cannot see it. It is possible that it fell into the grass in someones front garden, or under a car, or a step… It is easier to overlook things when you’re stressed though. You should try to relax, I am sure that it will turn up soon enough.”

Reaching into his bag, Shu pulled out a cake box and opened it… Revealing it to be practically overflowing with croissants. Although he was reluctant to give one up to her, it was just one. He’d live. Hopefully. Handing it to the girl, he sat down on the step outside of his condo, leaving space for her to sit next to him.

“Here, I recently bought these from the market. I don’t usually give my food away to strangers, so be sure to savor every bite, little girl. … What is your name?”

“That’s hard when it’s so important to me...” She frowned, wondering if everyone back at her real home would be disappointed in her for losing it so easily. Glancing up at Shu, she gaped at the sheer amount of croissants in the box. That was gluttony to rival even Yukito. 

And while normally she would of huffed at being called a little girl, her mind was far too occupied to even think of doing so. Instead, she stared down at the croissant given to her. Shu was a stranger to her, but she was certainly no stranger to food, so she happily (if you could call it that) took a bite of the pastry.

"I’m Sakura.” She answered back after swallowing the bite, taking what she assumed was a seat saved for her next to him. “Thank you for the food, and for helping me, er....”

                    ❛   hm   …   considering how you came in here because you were lost,   i’m not so sure about that.   ❜   she lets out a small laugh,   hoping the small child doesn’t take offense to her jest.   though there is a hint of truthfulness in it   —   she doesn’t want her wandering into worse places.   ❛   besides,   i’d have a guilty conscious if i just let you go without supervision.   ❜

                    she takes one more glance at the time before nodding resolutely.   ❛   why don’t i walk home with you   ?   it’s about closing time,   anyways.   an hour or two early won’t hurt anyone.   ❜

“Well, you don’t know for sure-” Sakura attempts some sort of rebuttal taking the joke seriously, but it falls short immediately.

"Are you sure...?  I mean....” She trails off, thinking about the poor souls (that probably only exist in Sakura’s mind) that would come by later only to be disappointed that the bar they visit daily closed early. “I’m okay with waiting a bit, I could even help you clean or something while I wait!”

Pi-chan? Oh that was positively adorable! Timcampi didn’t really seem to think so, patting Sakura on the head very gently, but Allen adored the nickname. It was refreshing to be around someone to eager to not brush Tim off as a little rascal, though that was what he was.

❝It’s nice to meet you, too, miss Sakura!❞

He nodded at her question, bring a hand up to rub at his temples slightly and giving a soft laugh.

❝Yes, he is quite the troublemaker, honestly! If I take my eyes off him for just a second…❞

Timcampi fluttered his wings dramatically, and Allen rolled his eyes.

“Ah, you don’t like that nickname huh? Too bad.” She grinned, playfully sticking her tongue out at Timcampi. Her attention turned back to Allen after the playful comment.

“He reminds me of my own pet, Kero-chan.” She would have to apologize to Keroberos for calling him a pet, but honestly that was the only way to make him sound normal.

✿✿✿ [ The girl seemed so startled! Jade felt so bad! She hoped she didn’t scare her too bad, not only from like, almost tripping over her, but then starting to float and grabbing her so suddenly! She seemed to be okay, if not little frazzled. Jade lowered herself to the ground, big fluffy white ears flattening down on her head. ]

          “ohhh thank goodness! you don’t have to apologise though, i’m fine!!”

✿✿✿ [ Jade grinned wide, showing off her big ol’ buck teeth. Here she was trying to be a normal human (well, kind-of-human) in society but she spends her first day out tripping over kids and floating. She definitely needed to like, not float. Normal people don’t float, Jade!!

✿ The young girl sighed and ran a hand through messy black hair. Maybe she should put her hood up, too. Though, there were holes for her ears… Jade hung her head a bit. ]

          “i really am sorry, though, do you want like, some ice cream??”

She lets out a sigh of relief, glad the other isn’t hurt. She glanced up at the white ears, admittedly a little curious. It’s rude to stare though... so she looks away. She’s seen stranger things then cat ears on a person, anyway. 

“What, really? I don’t want to be a bother though!” Obviously, she would love some ice cream practically any time, but she can’t just accept that from someone she just met so easily! “Can you tell me your name first....at least?”

Thank god she didn’t seem to be too upset by Timcampi’s weird actions. He still felt horrible, though, she just seemed like a nice, innocent little girl. Allen frowned slightly, easing his hands open. Tim stopped his frantic wing-flapping and stood up on his little legs before fluttering upwards and over to the young girl, landing on her head and nestling in her hair. Allen frowned a bit more as the golem stuck his tongue out.

❝I’m glad he didn’t scare you, ahaha…❞

Allen tilted his head to the side, making a little beckoning motion with his hands. Timcampi ignored him, stretching his little limbs out and pretending to go to sleep on the other’s head. Allen gave a small, resigned sigh.

❝He seems to like you a lot! His name is Timcampi… And I’m Allen! It’s nice to meet you!❞

“Ah.” She blinked, looking up without moving her eyes. To Sakura, Timcampi looked just a tiny bit scary when he opened his mouth, but otherwise he was actually really cute to her. She couldn’t help but smile at the thought that he actually liked her.

“Timcampi.....I’ll call him Pi-chan then!” Of course the first thing she does is give a nickname to the tiny creature sitting on her head. “Oh, my name’s Sakura. It’s nice to meet you too!” She replied, although now she was a little curious about something. “Does he escape like this often?”

@awakenedtactics

This is definitely not the way she wanted to spend a week, and she had almost considered just locking herself up in her apartment like the council had suggested, but upon learning that there was something she could actually do to help, she had completely abandoned that plan, instead opting to help the city. She thought that if she just flew around on her sealing wand with the items in tow, she’d be able to avoid the zombies and get to where she needed to get pretty fast. The only problem now was that she couldn’t use any of her other cards while using FLY and she couldn’t focus on flying if she had to hold something at the same time. Plus there was the incredibly terrifying thought that she couldn’t really defend herself, if an accident happened.

“Mm...If i just had someone to help me carry this stuff...” She mutters to herself, one hand holding her currently transformed wand and other hand on her chin in thought.

sovereignswrath:

Walking down the street with a smug smile on his face, Shu held several bags full of pastry boxes in one hand, and his precious doll in the other. Being a horribly picky eater, Shu had been having trouble eating since arriving, but upon finding a market stall that sold truly delicious pastries, he’d stacked up on enough croissants to last him a week. Quite proud of this fact, he was fully ready to finally relax at home and enjoy his spoils, until…

He slowly turned around as he heard a small voice, and stared down at the young girl who seemed close to tears. Damn it. He was awful at dealing with children, especially children who were upset. Putting on his best Calm Voice, he took a deep breath.

“No, I haven’t. Why, have you lost it? Are you sure it hasn’t been stolen? You can’t trust people, especially when you’re a small, vulnerable girl like yourself. I doubt it’s still around if it’s that precious to you. The world is a disappointing place.”

Shu went to leave the girl to her own devices, but looked down at the doll on his arm, and although her expression didn’t change, he could feel the invisible frown she was giving him and the disappointment radiating off her. Feeling himself heat up a little git out of embarrassment, he glanced back to the girl.

“… But… I suppose… It’s also entirely possible that it’s still around… Where have you looked already?”

Sakura smiled in relief when he responded to her, but the smile was gone as soon as it came. Her brows furrowed in a combination of confusion and distress. How could someone be so thoroughly pessimistic?

“Well, I guess you’re right but....” She trailed off, unsure how to respond.  Watching him turn away from her, she let out a sigh. Would she really have to continue to look for it by herself? She moved to go back to looking, but paused when he looked back at her. Didn’t he just say...?

“Oh, I know I lost it around these condos so I checked outside here...” She responds in light confusion, wondering how he changed his mind so fast.

                    ❛   asphodel apartment   ?   you live there   ?   ❜   surprise flickers in her expression,   wondering what the likelihood of being in the same building is.   then again,   her bar is located in asphodel district;   it’d make sense for her to be wandering nearby,   right   ?   ❛   what a coincidence.   i live there too   —   2d.   guess we’re neighbors.   ❜

                    a cursory glance is given towards the clock,   face scrunching for a brief moment.   she then turns towards the child,   head tilting to the side.   ❛   i can give you directions,   but it’s getting pretty late to send you by yourself.   is there someone i can call to pick you up   ?   ❜

“Mmhm! If I got the name right at least.” She nods in reply. “Eh? We’re neighbors! That’s great!” She smiles, muttering to herself about how wonderful it is to have someone reliable near her as well. “It is?” She blinks, looking up at the clock as well. How had she not even realized?

The brief thought of Touya picking her up from school flashes through her mind before she shakes her head. “Oh, no, I don’t have anyone like that. I think i can get there by myself though... probably.” She replies, figuring that she can just rely on the card FLY, although that might be a little confusing based on what directions she’s given.

@sovereignswrath​

“Where is it...?” She can feel herself about to tear up as she looks around for her necklace. It’s practically the only thing she has that connects her to her friends and protects her. If she loses it permanently..... that’s just not an option! She needs it for her clow cards. She sniffs, rubbing her eyes to keep herself from crying. She had tracked it down to losing it around Chamomile Condos, but everything after that had been a lost cause. She hadn’t even a clue to where it would be around here, and she can’t use any of her cards to help her. She pauses in her search, realizing that it would probably go faster if she had someone to help her. Glancing around she turns to the nearest person, a pink-haired man in fancy clothing.

“Um, excuse me.” She tries to get his attention while holding in her tears. “You haven’t seen a little necklace with a pink key on it, have you?”

“Really? Thank you!” She bows her head in appreciation, surprised that someone so nice works here. Glancing over to where the bartender points she nods and walks over to said flap of wood, hesitatingly entering the bartender’s area.

“Uh....what was it called again?” She mutters to herself, scratching her head. She was really terrible at remembering the names of some of the places here. It takes her a minute or two, but she finally remembers the name. “I think it was Asphodel! Or something like that.”

✿✿✿ [ It was high time she explored around the city! There was no point in moping around her fancy little condo, because it was just like, totally depressing? She should try to make the best of the situation, right? Right? Right!! Jade dragged herself out of her bed, looking at her silly god tier pyjamas. The logical first place was the mall! She couldn’t walk around in her witchy attire forever!

✿ Jade wrestled the hood over her head, dragged thin fingers through tangled hair, and deemed herself presentable enough to go out! The kind people who greeted her when she first got here gave her some money and a map, so she was able to like, live and stuff, and get around. Luckily, no one outside was giving her weird looks for have giant white fluffy dog ears on her head.

✿ Jade arrived at the mall with little to no trouble, and was actually a little intimidated to go in. She wasn’t, raised, around stuff like this, and even though things were settling on New Earth back home, there wasn’t really anything like a mall. Jade swallowed, took a deep breath, and marched forward.

✿ However, she immediately tripped into someone very small, and instead of reacting like a normal person, she let out a small bark. Also instead of falling like a normal person, she began to float, and she reached down with long slender arms to make sure the little one she bumped into did not fall down, either! ]

            “ohhhh nooo, are you okay?????”

[cxrdcxptor-blog]

Sakura figured that a simple trip to the nearby mall wouldn’t be too bad, although she hadn’t expected it to be very exciting. She didn’t really have that much money at the moment, so she’d probably just window shop the whole time. She also isn’t expecting to bump into someone as she’s looking at one of the mall store’s display window.

She shuts her eyes, expecting to land on her back. Instead, she’s surprised to feel that she never hits the ground. Opening her eyes in surprise, she blinks and lets out an impressed gasp. She’s never seen another person who could float other then herself, and even then she relied on another source for that. She shakes herself out of her impressed daze and apologizes immediately, forcing herself out of the strangers arms and bowing her head a few times.

“I’m so sorry! I’m okay but you didn’t get hurt either, did you?”

It was one thing to lose Tim while he was at work, or even in any other big building, but out in the open was just downright dangerous. Allen still wasn’t particularly used to the surroundings, and not to mention he really couldn’t get a hang of just how advanced this civilization was… The white haired boy ran a hand down his face, tirelessly jogging around, hoping he could at least get a feeling from the people if his idiot golem had been through.

Meanwhile, said idiot golem was busy looking for something interesting, and what did he find but a rather downtrodden looking little girl. Children usually found some odd delight in Timcampi’s presence, so he fluttered on over. She called him a weird name, and even asked him a question, but silly girl, golem’s don’t speak. She offered him a flower and, with his grin splitting him in half, he unhinged his jaw and bit the rose right off the stem.

❝TIMCAMPI WHAT THE HELL?❞

Allen had so luckily stumbled upon the girl and golem at just that moment, watching as the little golden sphere opened up and swallowed a rose whole. He dragged his hand down his face, hurrying over, and clapping Timcampi between his hands, only his flailing wings and tail sticking out. He looked down to the girl and smiled sheepishly.

❝Dear God, I am so sorry, he’s kind of weird all the time. He didn’t scare you, did he, miss?❞

The brunette let out a small squeak, not expecting the thing to eat the rose like that. She then flinched, startled by the sudden shout. “Oh no, i’m okay!” She hurriedly replied, feeling bad for the way it was being treated.

“Um, I offered him the flower myself and he didn’t hurt me or anything so...” She sheepishly smiled, trying to defend the small creature. Watching the two curiously, she did note that they seemed to have the same kind of relationship that she and Keroberos had.

                    jill’s never been innately motherly or have any of those instincts,   but there’s something in her that wants to protect whatever pure child that steps through her doors.   a patron rises his head,   almost as if to slur something    —   but jill quickly preoccupies him by sliding his next drink.   she shifts her focus at the young girl,   softened smile appearing on her face.  

                    ❛   can i help you   ?   you look a bit lost.   ❜

The building is even more intimidating on the inside, and if it hadn’t been for the woman at the bar, Sakura probably would have cowardly ran away. It doesn’t take her long to realize that, oh, this is a bar. Her brother would kill her right now if he saw where she was. She looks a little weary at the few drunkards lying around, hurrying her way over to the bartender. 

“Ehehe, I am actually...” She trails off, feeling a little bit embarrassed. “I was trying to get to my apartment, but I think I took a wrong turn somewhere...”

@mixologiae

Is she lost? Sakura stares at her unknown surroundings, and decides that yes, she is completely, hopelessly lost. Okay, she was lost the moment she came to the city, but that was different. She had found out she had been given a living space, so she was trying to go somewhere, at least. She stares up at the building with a sign titled ‘valhalla’ and has the feeling that she probably shouldn’t be anywhere near here. She needed directions to the apartment though, so it should be fine if she gets in there and then goes out as soon as she has what she needs. She clutches her necklace’s key, gulps and pushes open the door. “Excuse me....”
