023 ❀ Text

[Since she still believes Hades is after her, have a message in text, instead of her usual cheery like face.]

I have a few questions I want to ask everyone, I apologize that I can't talk to you face to face, but... it's just best for the moment. I also apologize for not being as out going as I am usually, I promise that soon I'll be back to talking to everyone. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has seen Ciel? I need to talk to him, it's important. Also, I wanted to ask if someone would be willing to go and check on my store and Vulpix? I haven't so much gone back to there since I woke up, so I don't know how she is, or how the shop is going. If you are willing to help, I will be sure to repay you dearly. Thank you for reading this. Love, Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford

[If she hasn't seen her own fiance, and is unable to tend the store...

Ami is worried.]

Lizzie? Is everything really alright?

I'm fine, I just need to get things through my head, before I can go back.

[That and she thinks Hades might still be after her since she still believes she's dead.]

Lizzie, if something is the matter, please let me help.

I don't know. It's just something I still can't understand myself right now.

Why not start at the beginning? Telling someone about it might help to organize your thoughts.

Well... okay then. I guess I can tell someone.

Good. That's what friends are for.

If I tell you, will you promise not to tell anyone else?

I promise.

Well, during the Heartless invasion I got into a little bit of trouble, but what happened afterwards I don't remember. I just assumed I passed out from the pain. But...recently people have told me otherwise.

[Oh, Lizzie. It makes it so hard to know what she should say and tell. She starts by tentatively probing.]

What were you told?

They said that I had died.

And if it's true? What then?

I'm meant to be in the Underworld, that's what Hades said.

He's wrong. If you were revived, you aren't tied to him or there.

Revived?

It's hard to believe, but it seems to be possible here.

[She doesn't mention the more direct experience she's had with it, even in her own world.]

That... doesn't make sense. How can one bring someone back?

These worlds don't work by the same laws as our own.

How do they work then?

[Right now? The important part is this:]

You're alive.

That's right. It still feels weird thought, knowing this.

[She's on the verge of telling her own secrets. It's the text function that saves her, really, that makes her think about what she's saying before she sends it and lets emotions run away with her.]

I think... given time, it will start to feel better. But something so enormous couldn't really go away.

Well, anyway, thank you for talking to me.

That's what friends are for, isn't it?

That's right.

That's right. And I believe you'd do the same.

Do not worry about your stop, Lady Elizabeth, I will look after both it and your pokemon for you. ...and as for my Master,

[ Her behavior is most definitely strange. ]

I will come immediately to pick you up and I will bring you to him.

[ If she's taking all these precautions it must be a little bit more than important. ]

Where are you?

[She looks around quietly for a moment.]

I'm in Twilight Town right now.

I am on my way.

[ He doesn't spare another second on the idle chatter. Something is bothering his Master's fiance and he'd like to get to the bottom of what. He heads there post haste and the moment the Gummi Ship sets down he's looking for Elizabeth. Upon finding her Sebastian approaches, kneeling respectively before getting up and offering her a hand. ]

...there's something troubling you, what is it?

[Elizabeth had made sure to sit still in one place and to not wonder off like one would usually do. After all she hadn't come this place as often as other places like Port Royal or Disney Castle, so she knew that if she just wondered, she'd get lost. The moment Sebastian finally found her though, she wasn't sure what to think, or even say for that moment in time, all she knew she could do was smile, but she didn't exactly feel like it for once.]

It's just something I need to think over... that's all.

[She looks down at her feet, watching as they swung backwards and forwards ever so slightly.]

Lady Elizabeth, [ Sebastian steps forward and sets a hand to her shoulder. He offers her a small smile and a reassuring squeeze. ] I know that a lot has happened over the past few days, but it's over now and rest assured you're safe. I am sorry that I could be there for you then, ...but I'm here now. If someone or something is bothering you, I would like you to tell me. I'd be more than happy to take care of it for you.

[ He kneels back down so he may meet her stare. ] ...you are just as important to me as my Master.

[She looked up slightly, putting on a small smile.]

Thank you, but I think I'll mention it when I see Ciel, I just hope that he isn't going to be mad.

[ Nods his head. ] But of course, my Lady. [ He offers her his hand once again. ] Let's get going then. Sooner we find him the sooner you can tell him.

[ooc: Not sure when to hop in here... so XD... /puts this here]

[Ciel had been keeping to himself more than usual since the heartless invasion. As a result he had not witnessed her return nor this text over the communicator. He was trying to be tight-lipped about the whole affair but to anyone that really knew him, they could tell something was off. Lizzie's death was always a possibility in his little game of chess, but as her fiance it was his duty to protect her... and he'd failed. He wasn't taking the failure as gracefully as he would have liked. During this conversation of theirs he remained locked up in his office, doing some tiresome bookkeeping. Tch- all this time wasted here, when he should be fulfilling his goals back home.. ]

[Lizzie nodded slightly taking his hand for the moment to stand up, upon which her hand went back to her side. Once she was standing she looked at Sebastian for the moment, nodding with her usual happy go lucky smile before she started to walk, hoping that once she made her appearance in front of Ciel, things would start being back to okay again, or even a little bit like she hoped.]

[ Sebastian fell silent shortly after helping Elizabeth from the ground, and he remained that way through the duration of the trip. What could he say? What should he say? Nothing, He reminded himself, silence is golden. His Master and Lady Elizabeth were to work this out. His job was to end as they entered the shop. ]

Young Master, [ He left her side to go and knock on the office door. ] Lady Elizabeth is here to see you.

[Ciel sat up in his chair when he was alerted by the knocking. He hadn't been expecting any visitors today, and when he heard who it was... it came as more of a surprise. A wave of initial panic overtook him. He'd heard the rumors of people returning from death, but was he really ready to face her now?! Unfortunately, he didn't have much of a choice. He took a moment to compose himself.. before finally answering]

Show her in.

[Lizzie stood there quietly, waiting by the door unsure of what to say or do. With each moment she stood by the door nervously, but the moment when he said to show her in, she didn't wait a moment longer as she started to tear up, as she had come bounding in, much like she would use to every time and hold him so close. The moment she realised that she could hold him, she could touch people did she realise she wasn't dead as she thought she was and this made her cry even more.]

[ He looks back to Elizabeth and beckons her to his side as he opens the door to his Master's study. Steps aside almost immediately as she rushes to his side to hug him. ] ...

[He looked warily to the door. Not sure what to expect. A part of him knew he shouldn’t be surprised. He’d already met his deceased mother here, and he’d seen others return after “being swallowed by the darkness”. There was a part of him that had suspected that people could return from the dead while here but he’d had nothing to prove it. Until now. Elizabeth came barreling into the room, the glistening tears clinging to the corner of her eyes as they threatened to flood forth. Seeing her back to normal was truly surreal after what he’d witnessed before. He bit his lip when she grabbed onto him. He struggled to find the right words and actions.. ]

Elizabeth..

[Her name came out softer than he intended, and he didn’t return her embrace as if he was trying to get over the shock of seeing her in person again]
