foreverfxlling liked your post “I’m back and ready to do something like for a mini starter no caps”

  “Its a peaceful day.”

   Random screaming in the background, screams of fear echoing throughout the city.

[foreverfxlling-blog]

Well, the screaming in the background isn’t always so appealing.

“A-are you sure? Th-that this is peaceful?”

Hello!

//I haven’t done this in a long while, but here’s an ad! Normally, I’m capping this at 3, but child muses are exempted. All starters will be of varying length, although feel free to contact me if you want anything else!

「 Sport? Is that another confusing thing from this city? 」 Was this ‘sport’ thing what they called those weird activities she saw people here take part in? If so, they kind of did look enjoyable, but wouldn’t it just tire someone out at the end? That didn’t sound very fun to Alice.

「 Um, well. Alright. 」 She was bit interested on what exactly this was. 「 Where’s the hoop, then? Or is this ‘hoop’ the person you throw the ball and hit?」

[foreverfxlling-blog]

“A sport... i-it’s a physical activity. Um... This city, i-it isn’t the only one th-that does it.” There’s been a lot of talk about sports, not by beings, but more on humans. The girl really had no interest in them, though others seem to have fun with sports.

“T-to hit a person with a ball... that’s dodgeball,.. A hoop, i-is well, a h-hoop. er... a hollowed out circle.” As if something just wanted to happen, another basketball jumped in, narrowly missing the brunette who looked speechless and terrified.

Why were people so violent in this city?

“Oh, don’t worry about me. I’ll figure something out, maybe make them a curry instead.”

The smile ever present, Ludger noticed the sudden energy sent forth by the girl, even if for a moment. He hoped that meant she was beginning to trust him a little, or at the very least not be afraid of him. The agent wasn’t a fool, and knew children would be wandering the streets everywhere in this city, and that he couldn’t possibly help them all. But one or two would still be better then nothing. “Maybe I could make something for you sometime. I’ve been told I make a pretty good soup.”

“We can go exploring sometime. I’ll bring you lunch, and then we can try find Rollo together. He’d love to meet you, I’m sure. He’s a big fan of anyone who cuddles him.” Of course the mere mention of Rollo brought anyones attention. If they even saw such a large cat, and his own unique way of acting, they’d be even more clung to him. His pet had always been better with strangers. Hopefully Rollo would show up here, maybe looking for Elle or himself. There was an animal shelter somewhere around here. Maybe he should look. “Oh!” He moved his hands back to his lap, placing the remaining bag of shopping before himself. “Sorry, I rambled on about my cat so much I forgot. Nice to meet you. My names Ludger. “

[foreverfxlling-blog]

“I-It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mister Ludger.” The girl said with a slight bow to her head. She believed that Ludger was a good person, but it was probably the influence from the books that was nagging at her for trusting others. In addition to the happenings of the city, but that’s a completely different case. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to meet another cat, would it? 

Being offered to explore with someone, it truly does beat being alone. Looking for Rollo seems like a fun activity against just meandering about. She hates to admit it, but exploring just seems to be a bore at times. “Yes... I-I hope we can explore together some time. This city’s big, th-there’s still a lot to get used to.” Getting used to having different names is one of them, being in crowds is another, there’s a rather immensely large list about the workings of Hive City. Although what’s the point if there was no attempt at all.

If there even was an attempt.

“Say...” The girl paused, looking for the words, “H-how long have you’ve been here?” Hive City a big place, whatever secrets can be hidden within the confines of walls, but there’s just so much to look into. Too much to look into in fact.

“Alright,” Mello allowed as he stretched his arms backwards to produce a small pop of his shoulder blades. His back cracked all the way down his spine as he let out a small yawn, his eyes closed briefly before he stood upright and looked at the little girl again.

“It’d be fine to go exploring,” he spoke softly; this whole conversation had been a bit uncharacteristic for him. Though he would be lying if he did not admit that he’d, for lack of a better phrase, cooled down and mellowed out after his brush with death post- explosion. An unscarred Mello may not have had the same patience and calm when dealing with a small child - but, he supposed, he would never know for sure.

“I’ll lead - but first, let’s get off this beach. Come on, this way,” he said, tilting his head in the direction he wanted to travel.

[foreverfxlling-blog]

The child nodded with agreement added with a slight smile. Her first time exploring with someone from the city, not entirely how she would picture it for the biggest reason of the other being a stranger. Still, it was better than having no one to converse than nothing at all to do. While this whole city was filled with sorts of beings, she, of course, wouldn’t make the first move. Anything was better than silence, absolute silence.

The girl strolled over to the direction Mello has pointed out, the beach was rather serene than most parts of the city, although it might have been the part of the beach they were on. The news here, may or may not reach her ears from time to time.

“Where should we head first once we get out?”

[kindergardening-citta]

“What, you have amnesia?” Peridot found herself leaning in just to hear that much better, though her own curiosity was probably just pulling her in. “Why not pick your own, then? There’s nothing stopping you”

[foreverfxlling-blog]

“I... I suppose I do.” Her memory wasn’t spot-on perfect, but it was good enough, so it would’ve been grace to at least remember her own name. “N-nothing, b-but I tr-truly want to be own by previous name.”

[kindergardening-citta]

“That’s hardly a title.”

Was that normal for humans? She’d yet to meet one that didn’t have on of their ridiculous names. “You’re small, but hardly a shard. Why would you allow for such a demeaning title?”

[foreverfxlling-blog]

“...I don’t have a title.”

The words whispered, probably loud enough for both of them to hear. “I-if I did, I d-don’t remember it.” That and she couldn’t remember what happened through most of her life.

“Ah, hello… young one…“

Jane sighed in relief that she saw the young girl in time. A few more seconds and she would have ran the toddler over.

[foreverfxlling-blog]

“u-um.. h-hello.”

The child said with a shy wave. At least most of the people she has met in Hive City has been nice, unless this was a trick.

With second thoughts, she took a few steps back.

     “Hello, are you lost? From what I’ve seen, wandering alone can be dangerous, especially in this city.”

     Before a leader, Chrom had been a father; an inexperienced one, but a father nonetheless. He couldn’t ignore a child wandering aimlessly, as suspicious as it could seem to those around.

[foreverfxlling-blog]

A sound of surprise erupted from the child, why was someone concerned for her well-being in this city of the supernatural, or whatever it is called. Whenever someone or something was even the tiniest bit worried, it reminded the girl of Him.

“W-well, um... I-I know, but I truly want to look around.”

[kresnikslance]

Shifting food from one bag to the other, he folded his legs beneath him in an attempt to get more comfortable. It was nice at the very least that the crowd was dispersing, giving the two room and more importantly giving the child some space. She did seem like an average little girl, however. Understandably hesitant considering he was a stranger, hopefully he could at least get her to take something to eat.

“Yeah. I’m a pretty good cook, and tomato dishes are my specialty. I was hoping to impress my new roommates, but I can always get some more.” Placing the second bag before the child, he smiled again happily. “You really should take them. Don’t worry, they aren’t bad or anything.”

Tilting his head at her question, Ludger stopped to remember his pet quietly. “His names Rollo, and he’s my pet cat. Well…me and my brother. Really fat and cuddly. And he always comes back home with loads of treasures. Shiny gems, new food for himself, even some new friends.” His gaze shifted downward, memories of his past life coming back. It had only just occurred to him that he’d never said goodbye to Rollo, of all people. Or Nova. The landlord. The downcast expression moved to his free hand, former agent coming to the realization of how much he’d left behind. Though when it hit him that he must look rather odd before this girl, a quick head shake and another soft smile appeared. “He wasn’t around when I woke up, but Rollo always finds his way home. Either me, or Elle, he’ll make his way back. He’s a nice cat, I’m sure you’d love to meet him.”

[foreverfxlling-blog]

The child felt more at ease as the crowd slowly dispersed, until realization struck and not speaking with the stranger would be rude. At least escape routes within the street was simply seen, routes that were tight and very uncomfortable. The stranger didn’t seem dangerous, but everything here was just strange.

Food filled bag made way to the girl’s gaze, while she wasn’t grateful to the man, it just seemed guilty to take it. In the end, with gentle hands the bag was grasped between the hands of the child. A slight smile and light bow of the head to signify a ‘thank you’.

“Y-you know, I-I hope you do impress roommate!” A rather surprising energetic tone was placed within these words. Only a shame she couldn’t taste his cooking herself, perhaps it was really good, or maybe the opposite, She never ate anything made by another in the city, just yet. Hopefully, whoever cooks for her knows how to make it taste decent at least.

Rollo... What a nice name. The girl examined the man once again, seeing his gaze downward. Did she do something wrong? Although, it wasn’t her place to ask. That doubt dissolved as he still spoke. “I... I would love to.” The reminder of cats made the thought of Deemo, and the dusty cat doll in the attic. Rollo does seem like a really nice cat, someday she’ll meet him.

Perking up in realization. the girl quickly asked, “U-um, may I ask for your name?”

She was nervous, which Ludger should have expected. After all, he was a total stranger talking to a little girl, and he couldn’t expect every child to be as blunt as Elle. Casting his gaze upwards in thought, the man hummed as he pondered, trying to get a handle on the situation. He couldn’t just leave the girl to wander the streets alone, after all. It wasn’t particularly safe.

“I know someone who explores all the time…its a real mess. Though, he always comes back with friends, and finds treasures all the time.”

Offering another smile, he glanced back down and stayed crouched, despite how uncomfortable it was beginning to get. “Personally, I think he’s trying to work off all the cat food I give him. He’s pretty tubby you know.” Laughing to himself at the image Rollo would give him at berating his size, Ludger gave into his aching legs and simply sat down before the child, digging through the shopping bags. “I know kids don’t really like tomatoes, but that’s the only thing I have here that you can eat without cooking it… You’ll need food if you’re exploring, right?”

[foreverfxlling-blog]

The girl listened inventively to the man. The words said reminded the child of a short story, most seemingly that one, until the mention of cat food. Though a small laugh was given by the child at the mention. It’s nice to joke around in a city like this, where all are in danger of getting hurt and the like. It still didn’t mean she trusted the other, a small banter is nice, but being led is something else.

“Tomatoes...” Hummed softly by the girl, she wasn’t hungry, but exploring with no food is not wise. Also, tomatoes are okay, one day she’ll point that out to the man. “I-I ap-appreciate the offer, b-but I-I... um... i-it’s- It’s alright, please do not worry.” There were other ways to receive food in Hive City.

“Also... Out of curiosity, could you tell me who your friend is?”

Completely irrelevant, but curiosity is a habit, sometimes good or bad, it’s something for true. That saying, was his friend here too?

[im-not-here-haha]

As she stared at the ball as it jumped in, she wondered where it came from, but Alice was really glad she didn’t get hit by the ball itself. What was so interesting about this thing, anyway? She was always busy holding that book, so she couldn’t pick it up to check at all.

So Alice went for the next closest thing, nudging it with her foot.

「 This thing is the basketball? Well, it did look like a ball, but I don’t see the basket part anywhere. 」

[foreverfxlling-blog]

Who decided it was basketball season today? Wasn’t it volleyball season? It was uncertain to the girl, but who would bring a basketball to the beach? Luckily, no one got hurt, for now. Something could happen, like the sky raining said spheres and having no cover, but it was something.

The child nodded.

“Y-yes... W-well, in terms, basketball is well... a sport that consists of a ‘hoop’ and the so... I-I think...”

“Look if you need help don’t be afraid to ask. Not everyone in this city are jerks okay?”

Arata rub her head a bit and heard something howling as Arata frown a bit.

The blue hell?

“Your sure? Because believe it or not i’m stronger then i look.”

The girl gave a nod, acknowledging that suggestion, but will probably not put that in use for the future.

The sound of howling made the child flinch, were they still following? Distancing herself from the stranger (partially due to personal space reason), she turned around cautiously, spying for the creature, and to her pleasure wasn’t in sight.

“I-I can believe, b-but I just...”

whirlygem:

“Take it to heart, I don’t usually give out advice.” She snorted dismissively. “You can refer to me as Peridot. Do you have a title?”

“Well...”

The girl gave a small interval of silence, no name, but a title. “I-it’s Little Girl, b-but almost a-anything would be fine.”

He would’ve thought that the crowds moving chaotically through the streets would at least look out for children. Ludger didn’t expect any of them to be particularly charitable, leading lost minors to help centers or anything. But at the very least, check when a lone child was wandering about cluelessly in a street full of who knows what.

“Hey, are you alright?” he asked, dropping the shopping beside him and crouching to examine the child lost among the adults. Offering the kindest smile he could manage, and ignoring his mind commenting on how much Elle would berate him for coming off as some kidnapper, the former agent looked up around them both curiously. “Were you here with someone? I can help you find them if you want.”

The girl traversed back and forth, where was that place? This area of Hive City was laced with living beings, making it a miracle that the child didn’t get caged within the crowds. Newcomers there would be, being lost in this enormous place is a nightmare. It didn’t change the fact that the girl is still getting lost and forgetting where things were.

Someone spoke, while she would’ve dismissed it as if she wasn’t the receiver, the person was right in front. She grew tense and began to hum nervously, while concern in the other’s voice was given, it was good to stay alert. “Y-yes.” The child said, her gaze dropping to the ground. “N-no... I-I was just exploring.”

      “I’ve never had anything mystery flavoured. Does that mean the package doesn’t say what it is?” he asked, rather unfamiliar with the concept. “I’ve only had a lollipop once, but I do like chocolate strawberries.”

      This topic of conversation was making him hungry. One couldn’t beat Claude’s baking in Alois’ mind, but…

      “You know what? I saw a chocolate shop not far! Want to go get some sweets?”

The girl hummed in agreement, once she heard about jelly beans that doesn’t tell which is which, and one was grass clippings. “I see, but if you ever have a chance you should try one!” Surely, there had to be a time where food of all sorts would be introduced. Hopefully it will be a lot of sweets.

“Ah really? I suppose.” She didn’t see a chocolate shop, maybe it was her fault for not paying attention to her surroundings.

“I-I hope you don’t mind leading the way.”
