Kiru

The diner?....Ok. She smiled slightly and took his hand. They went to he diner to eat.

Th-thanks I guess....I mean if it weren't for you I probably would be starving by now. Cici confessed, her hands in her Yukata.

Oh....Hello night. Yea I got an upgrade on my flute. Now I can play almost any song I waaan~ yaayheheh~... Her smile disappeared as she casually kicked off her Geta and clutched her flute. I just don't have enough money to buy a place to stay, much less buy much of anything for it. She sighed, wiping the tear from her eye. Well...I must be getting back to the inn. It's getting dark and I think they're going to be out of scraps soon. She said, getting up and repositioning her shoes. Come on Isamu. She called her dragon. Isamu flew to her shoulder and rubbed against her cheek. Cici giggled.

Well...I'll see ya around. She said, sadly to Night, slowly walking away. Head bowed as she looked at the ongoing ground.

Cici walked around the city of Horunka after she had obtained her new friend and sword. She tried to buy a house but didn't have enough money to. So she went into an dark alley and changed into her black Yukata with white flowers she got from a shop in the start of her journey. She put her silver-white hair into a two white buns and pined them down, though leaving a few long strands for effect.

She walked out of the alley-way and almost tripped in her geta.

Ok...get it together. It's for a house....Cici said to herself, walking around to a good, open spot to preform.

She and Isamu finally found a spot to preform. She pulled out a hat from her inventory and set it on the ground then pulled out a flute.

She closed her eyes and started playing "Behind these Hazel Eyes" on it. After a bit, players showed up and saw how beautiful her playing was.

When she stopped, she bowed and smiled then looked at the hat. It wasn't enough to buy a house.

EH?! Where are we going to sleep tonight Isamu? Her stomach growled. ...And eat....*sigh*....I guess it's we're in the dark alley again.She added the money to her pot and sat on the nearby bench, hoping for food to.....well 'drop' out of the sky.

[Yukata is a Japanese cloth used in summer time. Geta is a type of shoe that keep feet dry when it is wet out and are usually worn with either Kimono or Yukata]

Cici looked up from her tears and saw a pretty pale blue rose in Shark's hand. She took it and held it in her hand and smiled. They really do have every kind of flower here....Don't they? She murmured happily.

What if you dont HAVE a Skype account? Then what do you do?

No...I...think I'll name you after my brother. Isamu! She smiled, talking to the dragon.

[COMPLETE]

The spirit took the sword and presented him and Cici with a light pink dragon with small wings.

You may name it what you wish. But you have to decide who keeps it. The woman said, taking the sword and floating away.

She's cute...what should we name her? If it is a her.... Cici asked, cuddling the pink dragon.

The price....would be your best sword to me for a beast. If you don't mind giving up your sword? The lady laughed as her voice echoed though the thick forest. What will it be child?

Oh...yea...m-me too. I would like to know also.... Cici said, smiling a little. She moved closer to Shark and accidently bumped into him. She blushed and looked away, not noticing her rose drop. Eh?....Where'd my rose go?...o.o n-no...no. I-it's gone....She stared to cry for the death of her rose.

The woman stands in the shadows of the fog, chuckling to herself. Her chuckle soon became more vibrant and pitched.

Why did it not faze me you ask? Such a simple question for a simple-minded boy. She rushed back at Night, appearing right behind him. It's simple....I'm the spirit of this forest young man. The woman whispered into Night's ear then quickly went away as fast as he could turn around.

The lady stands there, unhurt. I said you couldn't hurt me boy! She emerged from the fog, flying at the two players. Cici screamed when she came to contact. You kiddies are dead! The woman said, her purple eyes glowing at them.

O-ok....She said, standing up and walking with him. I...um...thank you for being with me... I mean...ooohhh... She blushed, staring at her pink rose.

Oh? You think you can hurt me then by all means try it. Kehehehe....She laughed. Cici let go of Night's hand and covered her ears. M-make her stop....Her laughing is like a whistle for a dog....it hurts my ears. Cici complained.

Helllo~

um... I do have a question....

isn't the point of "chat" to talk to other players as we usually do? The 'in-char. thing...is kinda... no offence...but stupid... some people don't have Skype (not naming) and maybe some don't WANT to Skype or give the o' so personal info out. Did you ever think of that?

I'm just expressing my opinion as a player but, the "in-char." thing should be for the threads. That's when the stories come to life! I mean through character! If you don't want to use your character and use the plural "I" then that should be aloud also. Please consider it....

Oh? A rare blade...yet not so rare, hm...hehekekehehahahahahaha!!! You are funny boy. Now will you take me up on my offer or not?....hmmm? The woman went closer and tilted her head to the side, grinning.

Why do you hesitate boy? Is it the girl you hold on so dear by chance? The woman walked closer to them and the fog grew thicker.

I-I don't like this Night....Cici shook, hesitating to pull out her Anneal blade, because she hasn't quite mastered it yet.

Oh...I-I'm sorry. At least you're image is better than mine. Mine is...four white walls and probes, proves everywhere. I just wanted to leave that plain, white, room...to escape it all and come to a place full of life and color. To...get away from "them" and their expirmements....I-I'm sorry...if I'm making you listen to me....She looked away, blushing a little, a tear in her eye.

Y-Yea... they are. These ones seem familiar. She said, looking at some pink roses. These look like the ones my older brother gave me when I woke up from my last coma. It was my birthday and he thought flowers were the best thing to get me when I was asleep. I just wish he was here now.... She sighed, looking at a lonely flower she had picked.

Kehehehehe...I can offer you boy, and the small one peaking out from behind you a familiar of your very own to keep for it's well being. But with one beast comes with a price my dear boy...Kehehehe... The lady cackled.

Cici didn't like her. She tried to hide, more, behind Night but couldn't, afraid she might dislocate his shoulder in the process.

U-Um I was um...looking at the uh...um flowers. Ya flowers that's it! She gave a noticeable and un-concealing smile that gave away why she truly was on floor three.....

Cici entered the door the floor three and was astounded from the background and scenery. It was beautiful. It was like looking at a flower garden full of flowers.

She walked around and admired the flowers, touching them, smelling them, getting lost in them.

She heard a noise and fell into a patch of flowers...

Why do you want to know boy? A woman says. Cicila holds Night's hand and hides herself more behind him.

I can make you a deal....If you let me boy...kehehehe....The woman laughed.

It's Cicila!! She yelled

*She suddenly stopped when she saw fog. She saw a figure form out of the shadows.

Ah! What is that!

Well...lets go?... She pulled on his arm and they went to the forest.

I want to go and see if it's true....What about you? She asked him.
