Early Evening Night 12

[birdwingsandthings]

[Lo and behold some drawings being done, in very familiar childish script. They are two seperate drawings. Above each one is 'MISSING' then drawings of what could be very much Zeph and Alayne, along with their names underneath each drawing.

Underneath each one is: IF FOUND PLEASE CONTACT LUCE GARZA-CRESTA.
REWARD: A FRUIT.
THEY ARE VERY MISSED.]


[Because you know, that is what EVERYONE wants. A fruit. Singular.]

Then we bring her family here, Heir and Sorrow can be forgotten! What he and his wife has done is-

[lots of angry scribbles as Luce tries to figure out how to get the words out. Good thing he switched to the charcoals he was give or else he would have broken his crayons.]

She hurt Marten and other people! They are both going to be in the coldest parts of the life cycle again if I had anything to say about it!

[bloodyashes]

[The reply patiently waits for the angry scribbling to be done.]

I know. They've hurt a lot of people. And it's frustrating because trying to stop them from hurting other people is all we can do right now. That, and trying to fix what they've broken as much as we can.

[birdwingsandthings]

I know people and told them how to get here. I told the Camp what these people have done and they care about that STUPID Sorrow thing to just come in and HELP.

[bloodyashes]

The Sorrow is even nastier than the Lord. Did you see the grey people cleaning in the castle? It turned them from normal people into that. And that's what it can do while it's still caged up.

[birdwingsandthings]

Only 1/7th of the Sorrow is caged up here, the Lord is using his lordship-iness to do this!

[So much scribbling]

He has failed his duty, he has failed his people! He is a big, stupid, mean butt! So is his wife! If not hanging him, hang her!

[so much anger and angry tears on this child's side]

[bloodyashes]

Yeah. And maybe he wouldn't have been so horrible if he wasn't trying to use it, because it's got its poison in him, too. But he did bad things all on his own without it and that's probably how it got in in the first place.

It tried to use Alayne, too, to make her angry enough to break the seal.

The Lord thinks people are things. So he doesn't care if he fails them - he doesn't care about them at all except for how he can use them.

[birdwingsandthings]

[Just so much more scribblings.]

He is his own person and he can carry the weight of his own sins back into the first form!

Alayne and Zeph need to be back home and so do we and the Lord should not even be a memory along with his wife!

Sebs says Princess Lumi wouldn't act like that, but Princess Lumi was going to have a happy ending no matter what.

[bloodyashes]

[A lot of this is going right on over his head, Luce. World-specific references are annoying that way. And if you could see him, he'd flinch a little at the mention of everyone going home.]

Even if we beat the Lord, that doesn't mean they'd get to go home. We'd still have to find a way back for everyone who wants to go.

Are you still in the gardens? I found some things I wanted to give you.

[Operation: Distract the Kidlet.]

[birdwingsandthings]

Everyone can come to my home, its nice and there are no big jerks.

Yes, I met a giant cat but now I'm by a tree.

[bloodyashes]

...If that's who I think it is, her name is Arietta.

I have to get the things from the castle but I should be out there soon.

[birdwingsandthings]

[You get this drawing while Luce waits.]
