[01:37] Maria Malibu thinks, "I should follow you then."
[01:37] Yuki Akatsuki says, "Undead roam this place often. Espically at this time."
[01:37] Maria Malibu places a hand on her chest.

[01:37] Yuki Akatsuki asks, "Do you have any more tasks?"
[01:37] Maria Malibu buzzes, "You seem strong~!"
[01:37] Maria Malibu thinks, "No. That's all i had for tonight."
[01:37] Yuki Akatsuki says, "I am strong."
[01:38] Yuki Akatsuki asks, "Then where is home?"

[01:46] Aricles Alline says, "..."
[01:46] Yuki Akatsuki asks, "?"
[01:46] Aricles Alline asks, "... Maria?"
[01:46] Yuki Akatsuki says, "Touka why is everyone staring at—Oh, them."
[01:46] Aricles Alline says, "I was staring at you, too, Miss Akatsuki. The fire caught my attention."
[01:47] "Ah, one moment."
He reaches for his transceiver. It buzzed as the group approached.
(Aricles Alline)


[01:48] Yuki Akatsuki says, "A bit of an experiment."
[01:48] Aricles Alline says, "..."
[01:48] Aricles Alline says, "Ah."
[01:48] Aricles Alline says, "I saw you speaking with Talguth."
[01:49] Aricles Alline asks, "I take it this relates to Maria..?"
[01:49] Yuki Akatsuki says, "No, I just met them a few moments ago."
[01:49] Yuki Akatsuki motions vaguely to the one in question.
(Yuki Akatsuki)


[01:50] The girl tilts her head, her canary hues filled with absolute wonder and amazement for the Kistune afront her.

'Y-you're Yuki Akatsuki! You're a hero!! her inner voice screams, eyes practically sparkling at her presence!

'Ah!!

Her attention turns to Aricles, the young woman crossing her arms with a huff,

'What? Is he going to arrest me too?' she pouts. Yet only those able to hear thoughts can hear her own.
(Maria Malibu)


[01:51] Yuki Akatsuki asks, "Arrest?"
[01:51] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[01:51] Maria Malibu says, "Hmgh..."
[01:53] Aricles keeps his gaze on Maria. They'd only met twice. Once, she was ready to shoot him as he apologized profusely to their sibling.

The other? … Also apologizing to the same sibling, in the Iron Maiden tavern. While Maria spun the slots, repeatedly. A good gambler. Perhaps they didn't remember him.

"Ah... Maria? Do you remember me? I was-" Don't say you were a friend of Levius, he was executed. Don't say you were a friend of Lavenza, they were executed. "-We met at your mother's tavern. You were playing the slots."
(Aricles Alline)


[02:01] "...'

The girl was on edge. With two of her siblings killed in such a short amount of time, it was no wonder why she was cautious. Deep into her psyche, does she remember this one, however. Lavenza's friend? She thought to herself.

Ah, right. Aricles.

"..."

Her palm, fixated onto her pistol, adjusts itself outward. She moves her hand away from her weapon, nodding at the man in front of her. She tilts her head gently, nodding at his words, a sign that she did remember him.

"..."

The girl was still not over her sibling's death. It was not something she wanted to think about, a huff escaping her lips.

Of course she remembered.

Perhaps now more than ever, that the one known as Lavenza did not exist anymore.

"..."

A pause, canary hues flicking downwards.

'You were a friend of Lavenza. Of Levius...'

"..."

She ponders. The grief of both siblings had not escaped her just yet.

How could it?

She nods, staring deeply into the ground below.

(Maria Malibu)

[02:01] * You have been awarded 1 Levels! * [02:04] "..."

The girl was on edge. With two of her siblings killed in such a short amount of time, it was no wonder why she was cautious. Deep into her psyche, does she remember this one, however. Lavenza's friend? She thought to herself.

(repost)
(Maria Malibu)


[02:09] He freezes a moment, seeing Maria's gaze fall. Her eyes dim.

Another one.

He searches his mind for something positive. Anything to bring a glimmer back.

"I remember you well. The prodigy gunslinger, the expert gambler. It's been quite some time. I hope we can speak more in the future.

And don't think I'll be the only one speaking. I'm working on this" he taps a knuckle against his helm "-and improving rapidly. I think."
(Aricles Alline)


[02:19] "..."

"...Hah...ha..."

'It's all their faults. It's...all their...

"..."

She pauses, taking a deep breathe. Here eyes gazes at Yuki. A modern war hero. Someone she had heard many stories of, of their flaming mane and fiery abilities. The ability to turn into an entire army but naught but ash, her flames as potent as her attitude...

What did she fight for? She wondered...

The mute girl's eyes flick. Back to Aricles, a solemn expression upon her features.

Sorrow and melancholy.

"..."

She clutches her heart. Still, was she unable to decipher the extent of Lavenza's death. One sibling was enough. But two?

"..."

Of course she'd try to forget.

"..Wh-...wh.."

She tries to speak, clutching her heart. Remarkably, Aricles does maintain a smile on the teenager's face. Theprodigy gunslinger, the expert gambler...

The young hero.

Lavenza had called her such things. The mute smiles, clutching her chest with nostalgia.

"Mm." she giggles lightly, nodding at the man's words. She taps at her throat, speaking a light air of words only she could.

In honor of Lavenza. Of Levius.

She tries to speak, her crossed mind forming together a few words.

"...T-...T...T-.."

"..Try. Try-...ing." she says, pointing to herself. The most the mute had ever said, beyond her family.

"..."

She huffs, looking over toward the Kitsune known as Yuki. She places a finger on her chest...and then back to herself..

"..H-...H..."

"..." She sighs! Huffing as she tries to gather her words!

Alas, her inner voice was stronger than the other.

'You are a hero, Yuki. I...want to be like you someday.' she ponders. Nodding at her words...

Knowing she meant well..

And they meant the world to herself.

An escape from her woes, if only just a moment.

(Maria Malibu)

[02:21] Yuki Akatsuki glances slowly between the pair, a crimson half gaze narrows. This seemed quite personal. She was shit at handling that.
(Yuki Akatsuki)


[02:25] A remarkable change. Maria had gotten a word out. Trying. It was good to encourage such things.

"Oh-hoh?" A sound Aricles had never, ever made before. He was giving his best. "It seems you may beat me to the punch. I won't need telepathy after all. Have you shown-" Don't say your brother "-Majora this? He would be thrilled."

"I remember hearing you come very close to some choice words when you lost all your coin to that machine. I'm glad to see how far you've come."

Keep it going. No room for more kids with dead eyes in Meranthe.
(Aricles Alline)


[02:27] 'You are a hero, Yuki..'

A frown. A shift of her gaze towards the youth. The silent girl whose thoughts drift about the open air like crickets chirping in the night. Her forearm comes to rest upon the hilt of her Odachi, as her coat bellows about her.

She never did come here, save to lead Prospera's military into battle, to see the Undead threat culled and brought to ruin. She could still remember her disappointment when the Necromancer sailed off into the horizon, smoke marking their departure. A victory, but to the fox is was a bittersweet one.
Her amulet was still missing.

Deadened eyes look back towards Aricles. "Telepathy, mm?" The mild curiosity breaks containment and slips out into the salty air. Oh well.
(Yuki Akatsuki)


[02:34] Majora Malibu whispers to Maria Malibu: Here, goober. make sure you're eating.
[02:34] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[02:36] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Majora Malibu transmits: "Love you, Pumpkin."
[02:38] Come as you are, that cowboy said.

That hero.

As miniscule as his purpose, as unforgiving was his emotion.

She'd remember.

Come as you are.

Walk your path..

"*hic!" she grabs her throat. A softened sigh escapes her. She was trying. To be more than what she was.

"..M-...mm." she nods, grabbing her throat and smiling. She had shown Majora, even if it was the lightest of words.

'Why?

"Heh...hehe!" she giggles. Accepting Aricles as an ally. A friend of her family. A once ally to her forgotten and lost twin.

The least she could do was accept them.

"...Mm." She giggles again. Alas, this little outlaw was very much a troublemaker. Gambler and all.

She wouldn't have it any other way.

A reminder to herself, who she was.

A distraction from her grief, Maria nodding at Aricles. Her gaze tilts to the Kitsune again. She had heard the stories, of course. The battles, and of course, the decisions made by Yuki Akatsuki.

It was a miracle she was alive.

But it was that miracle that inspired the tiny Malibu.

A samurai and a gunslinger?

Maria did naught but read stories in her room. She read of heroes turning the tides of time, noble individuals who fought for what the believed in.

Those heroes were gone now, but Yuki and her deeds were close to those stories.

It was evident in the young girl's eyes. A desire to be a hero.

A desire to avenge.

To enact justice.

Perhaps someday, when she was older. But for now?

"...Mm..."

'It was nice meeting you, Yuki. Thank you for taking me home!' her thoughts wander, a smile and wave given to Aricles as well. A friendly gesture, as the girl looks to the horizon.

She didn't want to be in her room anymore, it would seemA part of her pulling to explore this world.

To find her own justice.

She'd hope Lavenza and Levius would be proud...

[02:51] Aricles feels his heart swell. Light in those eyes. A reminder of his Path, his Oath. This little gunslinger would be his charge, as with all Nilhirra.

He raised his hands to remove his helmet, letting himself be seen in this moment. A warm smile met Maria.
And then... His gaze shifted to Yuki. He had the face of one approaching a challenger.

Telepathy?

His eyes locked to hers. He prepared his mind. This would be the fourth telepath he engaged. He had shaken Majora into a daze. He had made Lavenza clutch their head in pain. He even made the Lumin King shut his eyes, grip the bridge of his nose, and request his sending cease.
There were others, he'd affected, while in a state of unconscious locomotion. Non-telepaths his mind had leaked into. But he didn't recall what happened in that state.

He was never formally taught telepathy. His method of communication is akin to water being sent through a very narrow funnel, with such force that it turned into a jet. Woe to any telepaths near this fool.

He sent his message. Loud and clear. Really loud. Booming in the minds of any telepaths near and... A faint whisper to those who weren't, barely audible, barely comprehensible.

["Aye. I'm a budding telepath, Akatsuki. I'll have a handle on this in no time."]

Woe. Somebody should sit him down and teach him to be more quiet.

(Aricles Alline)

[02:52] Majora Malibu winces.
(Majora Malibu)


[02:54] Aricles Alline drops a few items behind him, a proud look on his face once.
(Aricles Alline)


[02:56] "..."

The mute tilts her head, off to the distance. Her pistol held tight to her hip...

She walks her path.

A chance to grieve, a chance to remember...

A chance to grow.

"Mm." she nods at Aricles, bowing and walking off to the distance. Where would she go? The boundaries of Nilharra? Somewhere else?

Where ever she would go, she'd find herself.

"..."

She'd be a wanderer.

A outlaw.

Perhaps was destined.

The wind drawing her away.

{Maliland02das} Maria Malibu transmits: "....I'll be okay, brother. I promise."
[03:02] The fox say it coming. Or, rather she felt it coming.

The quite monstrous blast of thought was not something that was purposefully inlaid and controlled. No, this was blasted out in massive potency, wildly wielded. But just as a torrential downpour could be defeated with a sturdy umbrella, Yuki erects a Psionic ward about her mind, and that of Touka. Almost instinctual, this motion. As if it were as natural as breathing.

And her ears fold back, her eyes narrow. A foreboding expression, as her hand slowly moved to curl around her sword. A beat. And then another, before she let that hand fall to her side.

A in response, a thought finds itself woven into his consciousness. A warmth spreads from it like a blanket from the clothesline after drying in the sun.

"[A little more practice. On willing victims next time.]"

[03:08] Aricles catches himself. He should have thought this through. Headaches among friends and a tyrant were fine, but this was Yuki Akatsuki. One he admired. One he owed a great debt.
His hands instinctively slammed his helmet back on as he saw the look on her face, remembering the last time he saw - or rather, felt - her fight.

"Ah- my apologies, Miss Akatsuki. I have had an encouraging day, and got ahead of myself. I ought to be more careful."

You still owe her and her daughter a demon, Aricles. You fool.

Despite the adrenaline coursing through him, he shifts his gaze to Maria. He had only (consciously) affected telepaths so far. Was his message able to reach her? It seemed not.

[03:10] Majora Malibu says, "If there's -anything- you need. I am always here."
[03:10] Aricles Alline says, "I used to quite dislike telepaths. Or rather, telepathy. A lot of people in Gloom poked around in my head, without permission. I certainly never imagined myself among them. Although..."
[03:11] Aricles Alline says, "I will be in Gloom soon, to speak to Erebus. I suppose I should ask Sterling."
[03:11] Yuki Akatsuki says, "Many of Gloomlight see the usefulness of Psionics. I encourage you to learn it."
[03:11] 'I don't want to leave...'

'I want too...be with you. You are all I have.' the goober ponders. A sigh escapes her lips...

She needed this.

A chance to grow. To explore.

To live up to those delicate legacies of Lavenza and Levius.

She gives her brother a tight hug, taking her leave soon after.

This was what she needed to do.

Her final embrace, to her final sibling.

She walks off soon after, to wherever the wind would take her.

[03:25] Bittersweet.

That's truly how it felt as he embraced his sibling for what could very well be the last time. Whether for her success upon her journey, or something as dire as the others. Whatever the case, the blueberry hugs her tight against his form for but a moment. One that he wished could last forever.

But alas.. nothing ever does.

The embrace ends, and.. Majora is rather conflicted. Wanting his sister to do what her heart told her to. But also.. not wanting to lose another of his kin.

But it wasn't his call.

Slipping the entirety of his coin bag onto his sister's belt, Majora nods, taking a step away 'lest he hold her again and never let go.

A finger raises, pointing to the pendant he'd given her. It was the same as the one he wore. A locket that held their family within.

"{No matter where you go, you'll always have us with you, goober.}"

A short message just -barely- transferred to the gunslinger's mind.

"Knock em dead, Pumpkin."

And with that.. he steps aside. Allowing the younger Malibu to hit the ol dusty trail.

[03:25] {Item} Picked up a bag of 27000 dropped by Majora Malibu.
[03:31] 'Knock em dead, pumpkin.'

"Mm."

Of course she would, a nod and confident brow given to her brother.

She'd walk her path, and make him proud. All of her siblings proud, even the ones gone from this plane.

For everyone...

"..."

Her brow furrows, she hugs her brother tight. She wishes it could last forever, but of course...

It never does.

A bittersweet exit. Yet does she remember to cherish and contact her siblings. Her love and care for them, as delicate and permanent as ever.

This is what her heart beckoned her to do.

Whether to grieve or simply find herself, the little outlaw walks alone. Finally, giving the first step toward her path.

Maria holds him, never wanting to let go. Lest...all good things must come to an end.

A nod. An. 'i'll be okay.' given to him.

Knock em dead, he said.

"...Mm." the little renegade says.

Dritfting off into the distance with naught but a bow.

Finally, taking the first step into her lonely path.

Away into the wind, the sunset, she goes.

She hits the ol dusty trail, Majora and her siblings at the forefront of her mind.

Forever.

"..."
