“Together? I couldn’t in good conscience have you carry a bunch of stuff with me, but I’d be happy to have you.” That just meant he’d have to carry more on his own, or get someone that had a similar capability as Lucy - well, he would, if he wasn’t so sure that she probably meant that she wanted to go alone with him and nobody else, that was. “Something sweet? You’re right, whenever we got some of that cottoncandy as kids, I think everyone’s eyes lit up at the mere prospect of getting your finge…

“And you don’t want that, do you?”, Ruth asked, sounding almost concerned for him - but often, that was an act, not just from her, but anyone that frequented these parts of the circus. Every single one of them wanted the last laugh, nobody wanted to be the butt of the joke and so they discarded all their manners and seniority, and threw all they had in the ring. None of them, not a single one of their tainted souls, was better than the other, but Louis, he still had a chance, a ticket out of her…

Being reserved amidst a bunch of starving demons was a choice - not one that Roy welcomed, but he wasn’t someone to push others out of their comfort zone if there was no need for it. Right now, Louis was an anomaly, loathed by some of them, ignored by the others, and pitied by the remaining third for the fact that he couldn’t make it all out himself. How long would it be until he finally found his place in this world? None of them could say, but Ruth and Roy didn’t seem too opposed from giving h…

Ruth simply looked at Roy - she stared at him, and then gave Louis a pitiful look as they all went back to what they’d been doing before he came here: Eat, and enjoy themselves. Whatever sense of unity they had in their cursed existence, they used it to create a web that only they themselves knew how to navigate, and they were sure about not sharing it with anyone else, not at any point in time. With Louis settled among them, it felt almost as if they’d invited something that didn’t belong, but …

A snort errupted from Ruth the moment Louis started talking - she sounded neither thrilled nor happy about whatever was thrown their way, and if it were up to her, maybe she'd have to admit that she'd love to see Louis tossed away, out like a bag of trash, somewhere onto the street, or worse, flayed and skinned likewise, so his human side could atone for the misery that the other him had caused just hours earlier. However, it wasn't up to her, and worse, it was something she had no sway over, ev…

Back on his feet, Roy felt less than elated - he had bits and pieces of a plan, yet that didn’t change anything about the encounter he’d just had. In the end, he’d lost, against someone that was lesser than all of them, and the anger that seeped out of him like black tar at this moment wasn’t just because of Louis’ apprehensive nature, no. The reminder the ringmaster had given him served as less than laurels - they were a heavy, rough noose that snaked itself around his neck and the steady groun…

Louis was like a docile tiger, and the cage was pretty damn sturdy - Roy had his fun with him, and while he knew he ought to be earnest, to spill his guts in front of him would be considered a weakness and he’d earn no laurels from his friends if he simply didn’t play the game, too. Every single day at the circus was a chore, one big enough to make him seek out thrills, and yet, this one took him by surprise - it reeled him in, tore at him thereafter and then reminded him that why, he was clearl…

Spending time alone with someone during moments like these was almost like sounding a whistle that, for one reason or another, made it clear to him and all the others that they were indulging too much, enjoying too much of this life that, at times, seemed so fleeting and Jo, always the same and never truly one to get caught in the moment knew that it didn't help to brood about these things. "Are you sure? I'd feel bad." People died, they really did, and while Leila was no more, Conny was still h…

This wasn’t right - to Jo it didn’t feel right, at least. He ran away from his responsibilities like a blundering fool, because of a simple injury and his inability to take no for an answer. All that did was make the others worry for him; Louis was worried, the one that everyone already considered not worth their time, and Lucy was, too, much like the others were when he put on a brave act in front of them like he always ought to, especially when he wasn’t feeling good. “It’s alright, and that’s…

Jo wasn’t sure what it was that he wanted to do for the day - on one hand, he was hellbent on performing and couldn’t in good conscience shirk the responsibility any longer, on the other, in everyone else’s eyes, it seemed to be more than obvious that they wanted him to rest and not stress out about recovering so soon, given the nature of his incident and the fact that, if he overdid it, they’d have to fill his spot for much longer than they were anticipating. “I’m sorry for saddling you with th…

Lark was patient, with all of them, all the time - only patience bore fruit and there was really no way to make someone trust her faster, or easier, than this one. How long until she gained Logans? Frankly, that was hard to tell, given that he seemed like someone that, while easy to get along with, was a rather secretive person at times - and every single on of them had secrets, most of which they were hardly willing to share with mere strangers that they bought wares from. For her, it wasn't a …

There he was, bright and early as ever. To her people, someone like Logan was but a speck of dust in this tapestry one of them called the world beyond their own confines, and to her, he was another customer, another friend in the skin of a stranger that, if only he had enough coin and power, would turn a place like this into something unrecognizable, even to the most schooled eye. "I should have all of that, not like I get a lot of wanderers coming through here and then buying my wares anyway.",…

This time of year, not a single cold gust blew into the small town of nowhere, situated right next to nothing - Qidao came here ever so often, when her travels wouldn't lead her further and the hungry townsfolk and exasperated merchants ate from her hands whatever her bag could carry. For years now she had been the only constant between them and the world beyond the cold border, the lifeline to a different part of the world, so unlike their own; when Qidao made the trip, across a treacherous exp…

f3f9a2559a97210b3e91d0730204271f880737a3.jpgName: There's tens of thousands of them, anywhere, scattered across the vast expanse of snow, a tundra not meant to be inhabitated by anyone. Qidao Zhou knows many places within it's confines, from impenetrable fortresses to small settlements, all of them carrying their own stories and therefore valuables with them. Not many are willing to share, not without being paid for their intelligence, but a broker like her - like A-dao - knows when to haggle, a…

A devious smirk spread across Rhys smirk, like a match lit aflame and dropped on the forest floor during summertime - and as soon as it had crept on those loving features' that Rhys sported, it had dissipated into nothingness. Logan's little employer seemed to be almost ever-eager to please everyone around him, and even if it visibly soured Logan's mood, Rhys was more than overjoyed for the opportunity to stick closer, for now. "Hm? Oh, yes we can!", Cecil answered, letting himself be dragged al…

> Cybernetics Headquarters, Former Soul-Zero Cradle "Do you now? I guess I'll keep that in mind.", Morris chided Allison with a slight snort - he wasn't always interested in indulging in jokes or making light of a situation, it just fit. When was the last time they had had time to be a bit less serious, anyway? As far as he could recall, it had to be quite a while ago, maybe months at this point, while Zero had been more of a blueprint than an actual living, - theoretically - breathing being tha…

> Cybernetics Headquarters, Former Soul-Zero Cradle "Hah?", Morris looked up upon being asked a question he didn't think he'd receive. He had stated the obvious - all of the lifeforms that Cybernetics Inc. created were, in fact, handsome or pretty to a fault, to appeal to an audience that needed saving and would, at best, not even remember what dashing hunk of metal had saved them, and yet. "I was stating an universal fact, but I guess you don't look half-bad." Not what he'd go for, no, he'd pro…

> Cybernetics Headquarters, Former Soul-Zero Cradle Silence befell the ongoing conversation as Morris was harking over what Allison was doing but lending the two Souls an open ear, in case they needed it, while at the same time he somewhat felt like an intruder into a sacred practice of two participants, one unwilling in hindsight and the other not wise enough to be aware of what had actually happened to him. In reality, this was like bringing a lamb to the slaughter, wasn't it? One could argue,…

"I won't disagree, but if anything, I'd like to share everything I have with you.", he made clear. Yujin was a man of his word, and to him, Richard was important - he'd combed through his mind and memory for him, and he'd do so time and time again, just to keep reminding himself that he truly loved this man, be it as it may. "But I'd like to. Sure, fantastical flowers not found anywhere where either of us have lived are nice, and to imagine what could be is nice too, but a little memento of some…

Whatever Richard wanted, he’d get - at least Yujin thought of it that way, and he didn’t want it to be anything else, either. To him, if the stars grew legs and walked all the way down here, onto this earth, he’d catch and shatter every single one of them to gift Richard their sought-after stardust, which also, in turn, meant that he was neither above nor beyond committing atrocities for him, even if sometimes people wouldn’t see eye to eye on that. “My room?”, he chuckled. “Not ours? That’s nob…
