HELLO! This account will be having a reboot!
[What to expect from this?]
This means that any lore that has been established is no longer accurate!
Q- What will you do to the old roleplays?
I won't delete them since i have many fond memories making them and they are silly, they will stay just don't refer to them in lore!
Q- What does the reboot include?
A- I don't know! The lore is different from what i can gather!
Q- Will she stay a hero?
A- Maybe!
[Ocie is outside. It's not super late, but most people are asleep. Around 10pm. She's just walking when there's the sound of very quick but quiet hooved footsteps. She'd feel her pocket get slightly lighter and then a small figure bolts past her quickly.]
@baby-in-rubble
*Ocie starts running after the small figure*
"Wait! Come back here!"
*she yells at the figure trying to catch up*
[The person darts around a corner fast and slides a bit. There's a small squeal of pain, but they keep running, slower now.]
*Ocie quickly reaches the corner still running after the figure*
"Wait please!"
[She trips over her own unstable feet and falls onto the concrete.]
*Ocie quickly goes over to her and kneels besides her*
"hey, hey it's okay, i'm not gonna hurt you alright?"
[She recoils. Her hood falls a bit, revealing purple hair that falls in intricate curls to her shoulders. There's small horns peeking out from underneath the thick hair. Her eyes are heterochromatic red and purple. She couldn't be older than 3 and a half.]
[She makes a scared squeal, and holds what she stole close to her chest.]
*Ocie freezes, looking at the girl in front of her, before for taking a deep breath speaking as softly as she could*
"Hai, i'm not going to hurt you, i promise. But i heard you squeal and i want to make sure you're okay, alright?"
[She narrows her eyes and does her best to make an intimidating huff, a noise commonly heard from defensive piglins. Her knee is bleeding from when she slid]
*Ocie looks at her*
"Half piglin i assume?"
[She narrows her eyes. She's absolutely not scary at all but she's...trying]
*Ocie melts a little at the sight before composing herself again*
"I know that you're scared, but i promise i only want to help, you scrapped your knee pretty bad right? I have a bandaid at my house if you want, or we can go to the store and buy you some, i would need my wallet back though."
[She looks down at the wallet in her little hands and then back to Ocie. She's wary of strangers, which is a good life skill, but Ocie can see levels of anxiety radiating off her that no child that young should feel.]
[She hesitantly hands the wallet back to her]
*Ocie gently takes the wallet and holds out her other hand*
"You can lead the way if you want."
[She shakes her head, preferring to walk either beside or behind other people.]
*Ocie nods her head before standing up*
"You can still take my hand if you want"
[She hesitates. A small gust of wind goes past and she pauses for a moment. Her eyes widen a bit and she looks around before she looks back at Ocie.]
[She sits there for another moment before getting up and taking Ocie's hand, holding it.]
*Ocie looks at her for a second before walking towards a gas station*
[Her little hooves click on the pavement lightly. Her eyes dart around, looking at everything she can.]
*once Ocie reaches the gas station she looks back down at the girl*
"Can i trust you to just stay inside the store if i let you walk around?"
[She nods once]
"Alright then, let's go"
*she walks into the store before squatting down to her level*
"I'm going to go grab some bandaids for you to keep, if you want anything just bring it to me alright?"
[She fidgets but nods and goes to look around. She comes back with two little wrapped up cakes, showing them to Ocie nervously.]
"mm...?"
*Ocie was grabbing a box of assorted bandaids when she looked down at her, smiling*
"Yea, you can get that, anything else you want?"
[She shakes her head]
"alright, let's go pay for these then?"
[When they go to the register, Aph ends up leaning against Ocie and pressing her face to her leg]
*She looks down and smiles at Aph before paying for the items*
[Aph glances up slightly before burying her face again. She nuzzles against her leg and makes a small purr, as if saying thank you.]
*Ocie chuckles a little bit*
"You're welcome, let's get going shall we?"
*She was now looking at Aph, holding her hand out to the young child*
[Aph takes it again]
*Ocie walks out of the gas station and starts the walk back to where they first were before pausing*
"Do you have a place to go back to?"
[She nods slightly, though the dirt on her face and clothes tell Ocie it's probably not much better than the streets.]
*She gently smiles at her*
"Would you like to show me the way so i can put your stuff away?"
[She hesitates]
[Would Osc be okay with that...? Would he be safe...? Is he even there right now...?]
*Ocie notices the hesitation*
"or we can always go back to my house, or where we were at, wherever you want."
[She hesitates before starting to tug Ocie somewhere]
*Ocie follows Aph keeping an eye out in case something or someone is out*
[Aph leads her to a newer place. It's a memorial where an old apartment building used to be. There's a plaque with the names of all the civilians who died when the building collapsed. A hero and a villain had been fighting and they're hit the building and caused it to collapse with people inside. The area had been cleaned up well despite it only happening about 6 months ago.]
[Aph looks at the plaque then to Ocie.]
*Ocie freezes, looking down at Aph before speaking again*
"is this where you lived?"
[She nods once before climbing up to look at the plaque. She points to three names on the plaque.]
Eden Rhayo {Age 22} Amara Rhayo {Age 23} Aphradasia Rhayo {Age 2}
*she slightly pauses before reading the names*
"i'm guessing the other two are your parents.. and you're Aphradasia?"
[She nods again]
"It's nice to meet you Aphradasia, i'm Ocie."
*she smiles softly*
"mm"
[She makes another soft noise. Her tail even does a small wag.]
*she chuckles before looking at the bag she is holding*
"let's get your knee bandaged up alright?"
"...mhm" [She sits down]
*Ocie grabs the assorted bandaids and grabbed a big one and put it on her*
"and there! all done.."
[Ocie is outside. It's not super late, but most people are asleep. Around 10pm. She's just walking when there's the sound of very quick but quiet hooved footsteps. She'd feel her pocket get slightly lighter and then a small figure bolts past her quickly.]

[She recoils. Her hood falls a bit, revealing purple hair that falls in intricate curls to her shoulders. There's small horns peeking out from underneath the thick hair. Her eyes are heterochromatic red and purple. She couldn't be older than 3 and a half.]
[She makes a scared squeal, and holds what she stole close to her chest.]
*Ocie freezes, looking at the girl in front of her, before for taking a deep breath speaking as softly as she could*
"Hai, i'm not going to hurt you, i promise. But i heard you squeal and i want to make sure you're okay, alright?"
[She narrows her eyes and does her best to make an intimidating huff, a noise commonly heard from defensive piglins. Her knee is bleeding from when she slid]
*Ocie looks at her*
"Half piglin i assume?"
[She narrows her eyes. She's absolutely not scary at all but she's...trying]
*Ocie melts a little at the sight before composing herself again*
"I know that you're scared, but i promise i only want to help, you scrapped your knee pretty bad right? I have a bandaid at my house if you want, or we can go to the store and buy you some, i would need my wallet back though."
[She looks down at the wallet in her little hands and then back to Ocie. She's wary of strangers, which is a good life skill, but Ocie can see levels of anxiety radiating off her that no child that young should feel.]
[She hesitantly hands the wallet back to her]
*Ocie gently takes the wallet and holds out her other hand*
"You can lead the way if you want."
[She shakes her head, preferring to walk either beside or behind other people.]
*Ocie nods her head before standing up*
"You can still take my hand if you want"
[She hesitates. A small gust of wind goes past and she pauses for a moment. Her eyes widen a bit and she looks around before she looks back at Ocie.]
[She sits there for another moment before getting up and taking Ocie's hand, holding it.]
*Ocie looks at her for a second before walking towards a gas station*
[Her little hooves click on the pavement lightly. Her eyes dart around, looking at everything she can.]
*once Ocie reaches the gas station she looks back down at the girl*
"Can i trust you to just stay inside the store if i let you walk around?"
[She nods once]
"Alright then, let's go"
*she walks into the store before squatting down to her level*
"I'm going to go grab some bandaids for you to keep, if you want anything just bring it to me alright?"
[She fidgets but nods and goes to look around. She comes back with two little wrapped up cakes, showing them to Ocie nervously.]
"mm...?"
*Ocie was grabbing a box of assorted bandaids when she looked down at her, smiling*
"Yea, you can get that, anything else you want?"
[She shakes her head]
"alright, let's go pay for these then?"
[When they go to the register, Aph ends up leaning against Ocie and pressing her face to her leg]
*She looks down and smiles at Aph before paying for the items*
[Aph glances up slightly before burying her face again. She nuzzles against her leg and makes a small purr, as if saying thank you.]
*Ocie chuckles a little bit*
"You're welcome, let's get going shall we?"
*She was now looking at Aph, holding her hand out to the young child*
[Aph takes it again]
*Ocie walks out of the gas station and starts the walk back to where they first were before pausing*
"Do you have a place to go back to?"
[She nods slightly, though the dirt on her face and clothes tell Ocie it's probably not much better than the streets.]
*She gently smiles at her*
"Would you like to show me the way so i can put your stuff away?"
[She hesitates]
[Would Osc be okay with that...? Would he be safe...? Is he even there right now...?]
*Ocie notices the hesitation*
"or we can always go back to my house, or where we were at, wherever you want."
[She hesitates before starting to tug Ocie somewhere]
*Ocie follows Aph keeping an eye out in case something or someone is out*
[Ocie is outside. It's not super late, but most people are asleep. Around 10pm. She's just walking when there's the sound of very quick but quiet hooved footsteps. She'd feel her pocket get slightly lighter and then a small figure bolts past her quickly.]
@baby-in-rubble
*Ocie starts running after the small figure*
"Wait! Come back here!"
*she yells at the figure trying to catch up*
[The person darts around a corner fast and slides a bit. There's a small squeal of pain, but they keep running, slower now.]
*Ocie quickly reaches the corner still running after the figure*
"Wait please!"
[She trips over her own unstable feet and falls onto the concrete.]
*Ocie quickly goes over to her and kneels besides her*
"hey, hey it's okay, i'm not gonna hurt you alright?"
[She recoils. Her hood falls a bit, revealing purple hair that falls in intricate curls to her shoulders. There's small horns peeking out from underneath the thick hair. Her eyes are heterochromatic red and purple. She couldn't be older than 3 and a half.]

"You can lead the way if you want."
[She shakes her head, preferring to walk either beside or behind other people.]
*Ocie nods her head before standing up*
"You can still take my hand if you want"
[She hesitates. A small gust of wind goes past and she pauses for a moment. Her eyes widen a bit and she looks around before she looks back at Ocie.]
[She sits there for another moment before getting up and taking Ocie's hand, holding it.]
*Ocie looks at her for a second before walking towards a gas station*
[Her little hooves click on the pavement lightly. Her eyes dart around, looking at everything she can.]
*once Ocie reaches the gas station she looks back down at the girl*
"Can i trust you to just stay inside the store if i let you walk around?"
[She nods once]
"Alright then, let's go"
*she walks into the store before squatting down to her level*
"I'm going to go grab some bandaids for you to keep, if you want anything just bring it to me alright?"
[She fidgets but nods and goes to look around. She comes back with two little wrapped up cakes, showing them to Ocie nervously.]
"mm...?"
*Ocie was grabbing a box of assorted bandaids when she looked down at her, smiling*
"Yea, you can get that, anything else you want?"
[Ocie is outside. It's not super late, but most people are asleep. Around 10pm. She's just walking when there's the sound of very quick but quiet hooved footsteps. She'd feel her pocket get slightly lighter and then a small figure bolts past her quickly.]

*Ocie starts running after the small figure*
"Wait! Come back here!"
*she yells at the figure trying to catch up*
[The person darts around a corner fast and slides a bit. There's a small squeal of pain, but they keep running, slower now.]
*Ocie quickly reaches the corner still running after the figure*
"Wait please!"
[She trips over her own unstable feet and falls onto the concrete.]
*Ocie quickly goes over to her and kneels besides her*
"hey, hey it's okay, i'm not gonna hurt you alright?"
[She recoils. Her hood falls a bit, revealing purple hair that falls in intricate curls to her shoulders. There's small horns peeking out from underneath the thick hair. Her eyes are heterochromatic red and purple. She couldn't be older than 3 and a half.]
[She makes a scared squeal, and holds what she stole close to her chest.]
*Ocie freezes, looking at the girl in front of her, before for taking a deep breath speaking as softly as she could*
"Hai, i'm not going to hurt you, i promise. But i heard you squeal and i want to make sure you're okay, alright?"
[She narrows her eyes and does her best to make an intimidating huff, a noise commonly heard from defensive piglins. Her knee is bleeding from when she slid]
*Ocie looks at her*
"Half piglin i assume?"
[She narrows her eyes. She's absolutely not scary at all but she's...trying]
*Ocie melts a little at the sight before composing herself again*
"I know that you're scared, but i promise i only want to help, you scrapped your knee pretty bad right? I have a bandaid at my house if you want, or we can go to the store and buy you some, i would need my wallet back though."
[She looks down at the wallet in her little hands and then back to Ocie. She's wary of strangers, which is a good life skill, but Ocie can see levels of anxiety radiating off her that no child that young should feel.]
[She hesitantly hands the wallet back to her]
