I'm going to see my mother!

Selective blog for Riko from Made in Abyss

“No… there’s no test to fail.” Lyza winced with a little guilt. “Just a stubborn habit of mine.”

This was no less awkward than she’d feared. Riko wasn’t excited or overjoyed, she scarcely even believed that it was her mother sitting before her. Another trick, another illusion, another test to overcome. Riko wanted to meet her legendary mother in epic triumph, the end of a brilliant adventure. Not in a forest by a river in the dark. Not with doubt and reservations in Lyza’s heart.

“You saw me in Fault, then… I’m sorry. But this time, Riko, I’m not an illusion. I’m right here before you.” Lyza sits still, tapping her fingers against her knees. “So take as long as you need, I don’t imagine this is easy for you.”

Lyza points at the brace on Riko’s arm with soft concern. “Ozen said you left in good health… What happened?”

   “Then how?” Riko muttered, thinking aloud as she attempted to process the situation. The more she thought the more questions arose. 

   As the child was dragged from her thoughts as a sudden heaviness grew in her stomach. She had no story to tell, much less a heroic one. There were no grand battle, no epic or daring escape. Just pain and a foolish wound that would remain with Riko forever. A permanent failure. Still she gave a small smile as she answered. 

    “ An Orb Piercer.” Riko shifted as she adjusted the brace, a habit she had recently picked up. Out of all of her memories Riko had made in the Abyss so far, that was her least favorite. “ We didn’t notice it following us. ”

“ Merry Abyssmas everyone! “

Send my muse anons pretending to be someone they care about. The twist: make these anons as heartbreaking, disappointing, or anger-inducing as possible.

Pretend to give them bad news, pretend to break up with them, pretend to make an upsetting confession - as long as it hurts, it’s fair game.

Send my muse an anonymous nightmare.

It could be about your muse, or someone else’s, or about a past trauma my muse has experienced. Send more than one ask if need be for length!

annihilyza:

Lyza’s lips twinge for just a moment as she keeps up the smile, reaching out to point and gesture at Riko’s impromptu weapon. “The pot’s a personal favourite, but just now it may have been full of water, slowing you down. As well, you heard a human voice; so you should reach for your knife instead.” Advice for violence might have been in poor taste, but the natural inclination to instruction soothed Lyza’s mind somehow.

She slipped down off the tree branch to settled cross-legged in the middle of the thicket, intending to let Riko make of her what she will, but the response gives her pause, squeezing her eyes and lips tight as it sinks in. “You’ll call me mother, even still?”

This close, Lyza couldn’t help but just stare into her child’s face, seeing every detail, every speck of dirt and scratch and injury. She could scarcely find the words to continue, but forced herself on.

“I’ve waited… a long time to see you again… but I don’t think either of us thought it would be quite like this.”

   The woman’s words felt familiar, as though it was something Leader himself would say. It reminded Riko of hours upon hours of lectures she had sat through in Orth.“ I guess I failed that test then?”Scarred fingers loosened their grip on the pot, letting it settle into the moist ground.

  Riko always imagined jumping into her mother’s arms when they met. Yet the child remained a cautious distance from the supposed white whistle. Was some creature causing her to see things? Perhaps a relic? Or had her mother accomplished the impossible? Well, nothing was impossible for the Lord of Annihilation, just unlikely. 

  Even if Riko believed wholeheartedly in mother’s abilities, the child was confused. Who or what did she believe? “ Well, I didn’t plan on meeting you on the third layer either.”

“Ya see lil kid, it’s something that makes someone feel good, though most other people find it weird.” Ragnarok explains (I couldn’t stop him xD)

“ Feel good?” Riko feels as if she has heard that before…

“ Oh, like a kink?”

Ozen cackled, and shuffled after the tiny one on tiny legs. She hovered just behind the small girl, fingers outstretched to add more urgency to the chase.

“You’ll have to run faster if you wish to evade me.”

Two scrawny legs ran a short distance from her possible demise, blonde hair bouncing. What did she do to deserve this?

“ I don’t wanna be turned off, please Ozen.”

annihilyza:

“Sweetie I know you’re curious, and I’ll tell you if you want to know, but you don’t need to rush to know this kind of thing so fast.”

“No, not like real switches on the body, silly.” Well, not exactly. But she wasn’t about to mention that. “If you want a simple example… Have you seen couples kiss? Adults that love each other like to kiss, and when they kiss, it makes them happy and they want to kiss some more. It’s like that.”

“ This kind of thing?”

A light bulb went off in her mind as Riko came to a relization. “ So, grown up things. Like when Aunite Lafy sits in Uncle Habo’s lap?”

annihilyza:

“Hmm… sweetie the way they said it means like an adult feeling. It’s about what couples do or don’t enjoy doing with each other privately.”

“ So. We don’t have switches on our bodies?”

“ Can you give an example?” The child pulls out her notebook.

unmovable-sovereign:

“…Yes, tiny one. Right now, you are on. If I wanted to turn you off…” Ozen raised a fist. “Run. I like a good chase.”

“ Humans have switches?” Riko looked confused before seeing the woman’s fist. Her little legs began scrambling to get away. “ Don’t turn me off!”
