[desudesudesudesu]

[ oh. this wasn't good. this wasn't good at all. ]

[ suiseiseki slowly pushed up on the top of the box so that she could peer out into this new and strange world. how had this happened? she had made the journey to jun's room several times in the past and never before had something like this occurred! interrupted as someone or something strode by the seemingly abandoned box suiseiseki let out an undignified yelp as she let the top fall shut. having withdrawn into her box she covered her head with her hands and cowered. oh no! it's those damn humans! this place, it too was infested with those stupid creatures. ]

[ a moment later her box began to shake and she grabbed hold to the sides for all the good it would do her. as it settled down she sprang out in a fit of aggravation. ] Hey! [ a thud resounded throughout the area as she hit whoever or whatever had disturbed her. ] ...what's the big idea you filthy bastard? Hands off. [ standing up in the box she scowled. her hands moved to her hips as she glared daggers at the perpetrator; a moogle. ] Ew. It's even worse than one of those humans! It looks like some sort of a deformed rat. [ it's but a murmur as she cautiously steps out to investigate ( after, of course, ensuring that the coast was clear of any humans ). ]

Hey. Get up! [ she demanded though it did nothing. ] Hey! I said get up! [ as she delivered a swift kick to its side it let out a painful shriek. hnph! stupid thing! as it curled into itself she stepped over and swiped the communicator that lay on the ground beside it. ] Is this a toy, ... [ and with little to no time to wonder the moogle sprang to life to answer. ]

It's your communicator, Kupo!

[ as it chimed in with a response she almost jumped out of her skin. frightened, suiseiseki hurled the communicator at the poor moogle's head only to, then, retreat into her box. the feed cuts on impact. ]

Comments

[speakstojeffy]

[What was this?! Mistreatment of moogles? ]

Hey! That's not very nice at all! You should really apologize, the moogle was only trying to help.

I think he was only trying to find out what was inside that box.

[desudesudesudesu]

[ it's what the little runt deserved. hnph! as she hears someone else approach her box she stills and falls silent. oh no. it's another one. and they're scolding her. ]

It wasn't any of his business! [ as she sniffles as she lifts the top of the box up. she didn't mean to hurt it. honest. ] and... and I didn't know. I thought it was going to attack me! [ lifts a hand to her eyes and rubs at them as a few stray tears roll down her porcelain cheeks. ]

[speakstojeffy]

[Awww... Sae's heart melts instantly. Such a small little girl, and she was clearly sorry! ]

I... I didn't know...

[If you cry she might cry. In fact her eyes do begin to water. ]

You were just scared? I can understand that, it is really very scarey to suddenly be in a strange place and with people you don't know and... moogles that look like stuffed animals... but please try not to do it again? The moogles really are very nice. I don't know what I would have done without them.

[desudesudesudesu]

[ clearly. if only suiseiseki was being earnest in her apology. but she's not sorry. nope. far from it, in fact. stupid moogle. ]

...that awful little creature should have said something first, instead of beating on my box. [ sniffs again, trying her best to keep calm. but that next bit causes her to look at the girl. she didn't know what she'd do without them? ugh. this girl must be a real lost cause to have been set straight by those pesky little furballs. ] if... if you say so.

[speakstojeffy]

Maybe he just didn't know you were in there? I would never have thought to look for a little girl inside a box!

[Or a little doll. She can't tell the difference. ]

Mm! They will help you out too if you let them. They always try to help everyone!

[Yeaaah... totally hopeless on the moogle front. They were cute and helful, so Sae liked them!]

[desudesudesudesu]

[ ...alright. sae had a point but suiseiseki isn't about to admit it. ] But those things can't help. [ not with what she wants. ] I'm stuck here aren't I... [ did she become junk. is this what became of a junk'd doll? a small hic as she starts to cry again. ]

[speakstojeffy]

[Ah, no! Whats a matter now!?]

No, please... you don't have to cry anymore. Oh, what should I do...

1 / 2

[desudesudesudesu]

[ and there does arise a faint twinkle from suiseiseki's eye. oh, isn't this perfect. ]

[desudesudesudesu]

...well you could take me to the room that this belongs to. [ another sniff. now she's milking it. holds up the key to the inn that the moogle had intended to give to her. ]

[speakstojeffy]

[Manipulation... SUCCESS!]

I can do that! It wouldn't be able trouble at all, just don't cry anymore, um...

[This box might be heavy? She wasn't sure about that yet. ]

Does this come with you?

1 / 2

[desudesudesudesu]

[desudesudesudesu]

Fine. [ suiseiseki is all sorts of alright now! heh heh heh. she nods as she steps out of the box. ] It's mine.

[speakstojeffy]

[The immediate change of temper passes by unnoticed as Sae is too busy trying to lift the box. It really was pretty heavy! Maybe too heavy to carry all of the way to the hotel. ]

Oh... um... maybe I could use a float spell on it?

[desudesudesudesu]

[ man. this pathetic human is not the sort she'd been hoping to bump into. she's downright useless! ...and that sort of reminds her of jun. those fond memories are driven to a halt as the girl mentions a spell. like magic? interested suddenly peaked suiseiseki moves closer albeit cautiously. ] ...you know magic?

[speakstojeffy]

Mm! I am a member of the magic user's club back at home and since I have been here people have been teaching me all kinds of neat spells. I... think I could move this with a spell.

[Sae hedges her bet though by only saying she think she can do it. She always doubts her ability, which does sometimes get her into trouble.]

[desudesudesudesu]

[ suiseiseki is impressed. but just a little. so this human isn't so completely useless after all. well maybe. she's not done anything yet. ] Let's see. [ go on! hop to it. circles the box before moving to stand beside sae. ]

[speakstojeffy]

[hmm... well, which spell to use? Sae ponders this before holding her wand out over the box and silently hoping this would work. ]

Eyah shooboo nigoo lattofu!

[The magic glows all around the box until with a shudder it hovers slightly in the air.


...
...
...

And then the box shrinks down to the size of a deck of cards.]


[OOC note: I dropped Sae recently but if you would like to finish this thread first I could try to do that?]

[no_souls_here]

{Well.. Ciel wasn't exactly a fan of the moogles himself.. but her reaction did seem a bit more extreme than most. He'd only just managed to catch her flinging the communicator at the thing, and her retreating back into that box. What- on Traverse Town was she? If his eye had not been deceiving him then she looked relatively small for a ... person?

He waited for a moment, until he was sure that she was not just going to pop right back out of the box before he strode closer and kneeled down next to the incapacitated moogle. Her aim had been true, but the moogle should recover in a few moments.

Meanwhile, Ciel's gaze shifted back over to the box. Although he was curious about it's occupant, he also didn't want to be the next victim.]

[desudesudesudesu]

[ ...it's not all that extreme given the circumstances. after all she is in a foreign place and for all she knew that stupid creature could have been trying to eat her! ]

[ suiseiseki is all alone here. not to mention she's incredibly frightened, and growing morseso by the minute. as another pair of footsteps arise she simpers softly. ] ...have you come to attack me too? [ and slowly the lid lifts and she peeks out at Ciel. ]

[no_souls_here]

[You're giving those moogles far too much credit]

[That much is obvious. A creature is never more dangerous than when it feels backed into a corner. In a calm, even tone Ciel responded.] No. There would be no point in my doing that.

[He stayed crouched down as not to look too intimidating. Sure he wasn't the tallest..but he was still taller than this girl] I was just wondering what all the commotion was. Are you alright?

[desudesudesudesu]

[ as ciel moves closer and tries to lull her into a false sense of security suiseiseki tries to assess him. he's almost as small, if not smaller, than the runt at home... not to mention he looks about half as intimidating. ] I am... no thanks to that terrible creature! [ motions to the moogle. ] ...maybe you can tell me what this place is? _{Because it sure isn't the little bastard's room.} [ an afterthought. one muttered under her breath. ]

[executionerrose]

[How loud! Chloe rounded the corner just in time to see the box lid slam shut and the moogle wandering around looking lost and confused.
So what had all of the commotion been about? Things looked quiet now.
Curious he wandered over to the box, knelt before it, and cautiously opened it. Maybe some one had dropped their travel case and the information needed to return it would be inside.]

[desudesudesudesu]

[ as suiseiseki recoiled in fear and retreated into her box she couldn't help but frown. she didn't know what she was going to do. for all she knew she'd be stuck in this rotten human infested hole forever. cough. tears tumbled down her face as she tried to piece together everything that'd led up to this nightmare. ]

[ but there's no rest for the weary! and soon somebody or something is disturbing her again. as the top opens she throws herself at the culprit and starts beating pathetically on their chest because it'd do so much. ]

...what do you want ...what do you want ...what. [ and she stops and looks up at chloe, her face stained with tears. ]

1/2

[executionerrose]

[GAH! He hadn't expected anyone to be IN there! ]

[executionerrose]

[Getting over the initial surprise he summed the girl up. Tiny and in a box, that was strange, but she was clearly scared judging by the way the tears ran down her face. ]

I thought some one might have lost one of their suitcases.

[Here have a rose. Some one he always has one around for situation where a lady might need a little cheering up. ]

I never expected to find you inside.

1 / 2

[desudesudesudesu]

[ stupid humans. it's not just some suitcase! duh. as he produces the rose for her she falls silent and grows still. sitting back on her legs she looks between the two before reaching for it. ] ...

[desudesudesudesu]

[ it's rather lovely, this rose. ] ...she is sad. [ gives the flower's petals a gentle stroke. ] Because you'd taken such care of her prior to... this. [ and she runs her fingers down the step and to the base of the flower. you've killed her chloe. WAY TO GO! ] ...you are a gardener?

[executionerrose]

[Unfortunately some roses did have to be cut. Placing an entire bush into an arrangement would be a touch difficult, but there were plenty of others still blooming away in the garden surrounding the White Rose florist and the grounds of Disney Castle. ]

Yes, a partner and I run a shop on another world called the White Rose.

[Now... looking at the box again.]

Just why were you inside this?

[desudesudesudesu]

[ she's not buying into your nonsense so you can just stop trying to justify your actions, murderer! lol. but in all seriousness it doesn't bother her all that much... though she'd prefer for the plants to remain in tact. ] ...you have an accomplice? [ tsk tsk. ]

... [ and she throws the box a glance. ] I was hiding. [ or are you stupid. it's a good thing that'cha can't read her thoughts. she's not a nice dolly. ]

[executionerrose]

[:P! ]

An accomplice, that's an odd choice of words.

But, of course you were hiding...

[That was obvious enough. The thing was...]

Why are you hiding here in the middle of the street in a tiny box?

[desudesudesudesu]

[ suiseiseki is not going to apologize. it's the truth besides! and you and your plant killing business partner are tearing her apart, chloe! subtle reference is hit... or is miss? ] ...this dumb place just spat me out here. [ and it's not that small. also. she's not going to address the box bit. ]

[executionerrose]

[You strange plant fanatics...
It's just lucky there weren't any cars, this could have ended differently.]

It does that. What world did you originally come from? I think you will find things are very different in Traverse Town.

[desudesudesudesu]

[ i resent that. i am not as bad as some of the others around here! and i'm just busting your chops, human! suiseiseki takes a moment to look around before crinkling her nose in disgust. ] Traverse Town? Is that what this despicable place is called?

[executionerrose]

[Calling it a despicable place was a bit harsh, but Chloe could agree a world without sunlight was pretty dreary. ]

It is supposed to be a kind of gathering place where all of the bit and pieces from other worlds appear. Even people...

[And what ever she was? A talking doll? That would have been strange a year ago, but now it felt almost normal. ]

[desudesudesudesu]

[ and she gives it another look over. ] ...supposed to be. [ adds a bit of emphasis. yeah. she's far from impressed. ] I see. ...so you're telling me there's no way to get home, is that it, ..?

[executionerrose]

Basically until your world is brought out of the darkness you are stuck here.

[Yup! Trapped. He is very calm about the whole thing though. He's given this talk a lot to new arrivals. ]

You can either find something to do here or move to one of the other worlds.

Action

[massiekur]

[Massie had missed the entire display. She was walking her dog, when she came across the box in the middle of nowhere. Pausing she wondered what the contents might be or where it came from. Was someone using it as a suitcase? And if they were... could some designer fashions be locked away just under the lid? If there was one thing Massie missed it was shopping and her beloved designer labels. Still, would she ever be desperate enough to wear someone else's hand me downs? Ick.]

Wait here Bean.

[She told her puppy, as she walked over to the box. Scanning the area with her eyes she didn't see anyone nearby. Just one little peek couldn't hurt...]

[She took hold of the lid, and was about to flip it open..]

action;

[desudesudesudesu]

[ lol. i do not think the odds are stacked in your favor, massie, sorry, because this particular BOX not suitcase doesn't contain designer fashions. no. instead it contains an adorable demon doll. ]

[ as the lid on the box is opened suiseiseki jumps out with a shriek. it must be that awful little moogle back for more! it's going to feast on her mortal soul rosa mistica , isn't it, oh the horror! she runs from the box in a futile attempt to get away only to run straight into massie's pug, bean. falls onto her tush as she blinks and looks up at him. ] ... [ well shit poo. ] I don't understand, [ sniffle. ] I just want to go home.

[maximumbet]

[ Damn, the moogles were annoying as all hell sometimes but he'd never seen someone flip at them quite like that before. Nero had just caught the tail end of the exchange so he approached the box she'd disappeared into cautiously. Not that he was afraid such a tiny little thing could actually HURT him or something... but if he could avoid having things thrown at him it'd definitely be better for his temper. ]

Hey kid, you okay in there?

[desudesudesudesu]

[ ...but it's not like she'd had a major meltdown. a mini meltdown is more like it. that stupid pest had invaded her personal space and she didn't appreciate that. it should know better than to do that, ...especially to an unsuspecting scaredycat newcomer. ] ... [ as she lifts the lid and peers up at nero she sniffled, trying to suppress another round of tears. ] Is that filthy little rat gone?
