[00:53] Majora Malibu says, "Wh-"
[00:53] Majora Malibu says, "Wait."
[00:53] Maria Malibu gives her brother a beeg hug...
(Maria Malibu)


[00:53] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[00:53] Majora Malibu blinks, pulling the little goober in TIGHTLY into his form.
(Majora Malibu)


[00:53] Maria Malibu says, "HGNH"
[00:54] Majora Malibu asks, "Is this.. goober talking?"
[00:54] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[00:54] Maria Malibu shakes her head, she still could only speak a few selective words, it would seem.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:55] Majora Malibu whispers to Maria Malibu: How's my favorite little outlaw?
[00:55] Maria Malibu shrugs, placing her forhead on Majora's.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:55] Maria Malibu says, "...Eh..."
[00:55] Majora Malibu says, "Sounds about right."
[00:56] Maria Malibu smiles, seeming more than happy to see her brother.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:57] Majora Malibu says, "Alright. Come on. You're being kidnapped."
[00:57] Yuki Akatsuki glances over. A touching scene, in Gloomlight? She thought she'd never see the day.
(Yuki Akatsuki)


[00:57] "You and I need to talk. About Penelope's...boyfriend." she ahems, despite not talking at all or having a voice.

"...I want to kill them." she gestures in sign language. Quite simple words.

"!!!"

Alas, she doesn't seem to have much of a choice! Pulled away by the whims of fate...

Kidnapped.

A cruel fate for any...

"..."
(Maria Malibu)


[01:02] Majora's gaze softens as he watches his sister's gestures. A warm smile gracing his features as he nods along. Murdering boyfriends was a good change of pace for the news he'd gotten earlier.

"Well, let's go to a more private spot. Plotting a murder in the middle of a city square isn't the smartest idea."

His gaze shifts between everyone present, honestly wondering if anyone actually cared. It was Meranthe after all.

For now, he simply yoinks the younger Malibu, raising her above his head as he floats off. Probably back home.
(Majora Malibu)


[01:02] Charlotte O. Nightwalker literally got paid to kill people, couldn't care less.
(Charlotte O. Nightwalker)


[01:02] Thomas G. Equisol says, "But I am glad things will be figured out."
[01:02] Mitra Prithvi exclaims, "Okay!"
[01:03] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[01:03] Maria Malibu thinks, "I hope we don't go into my room..."
[01:03] Maria Malibu thinks, "I haven't cleaned up anything."
[01:04] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[01:06] Maria gestures, gazing deep into her brother's hue.

"I missed you, dummy. I hope you're doing okay. It seems that we meet once again. For an important purpose."

"..."

"...How do we go about killing Penny's boyfriend?" she gestures. Maria was...completely serious, a maniacal look fervent in her eye as she spoke.

Completely, utterly serious.

"I think someone's taking advantage of our baby sister. I for one, don't quite appreciate you. Y-you...know how Penny is. She's...not the brightest..."

'I'm worried for her."
(Maria Malibu)


[01:15] The Malibu's smile hadn't seemed to fade since stealing his little gremlin of a sister. The warmth within his gaze never seeming to fade.

"I missed you too, goober. And I'm good. Better than I have been in a long while."

His eyes held he life that they used to, and unlike his usual stoic nature.. it seemed that Majora was allowing his emotions to be shown upon his visage. At least, to a degree. The trip he took helped a lot.

Now, his head tilts at Maria's hint of seriousness at the want to murder some unknown giant. However.. it was his job to at least hear her out.

"Firstly. What do we know about him? And.. why do you think he's taking advantage of her? Aside from.. him having had two wives before which IS a red flag.

Also yes.. there's a reason that we had the 'Pen Protocol'.. that wasn't just something we said.. A shame she found her way out of the woods just to try and hook up with someone as tall as a tree. You'd think she'd have seen enough."
(Majora Malibu)


[01:28] The little gunslinger was as confident and troublemaking as ever. Her gestures were swift and responsive, actions speaking louder than words as she sat to finally speak with her dear brother.

Her own smile was fervent, relieved and excited to see her brother once again. Maria certainly had not been the best sister as of late. Her escapades and bounty hunting causing her to learn much about herself and the path she would seem to walk in this desolate world.

Hearing her brother was happy was a relief. Maria herself still carried some air of melancholy, blocked by her feelings for her brother, emotions calming at the sight of his presence.

She gestures again, smiling throughout her gestures. "That's good. I was worried you got into some sort of trouble or something. Hey, i'm not one to control you or your decisions, but I think we both know how you are." she teases, winking toward her brother before responding.

"You seem...different." she acknowledges. Perhaps he seemed more open than usual. or a bit happier than he used to be. The smile was both present and acknowleged, the little gremlin couldn't help but find it contagious.

But other than that...

"...I don't actually want to kill him. But I want to meet him. I'm worried for Penny. You know how she is! She's...innocent, you know? I want to look out for her."

"I'm worried." she tells Majora, a soft smile turning into something more delicate and anxious.

"He had two wives, he's older than Penny, and he seems...off. You know what I mean? I just have a bad feeling."

"I agree. We had to save Penny from the woods how many times now? I mean...yes, she's an adult. But..."

"Do you think she's...ready? For that sort of thing?"
(Maria Malibu)


[01:45] {Item} You picked up Arcanium x5.
[02:04] It was an interesting sight to see Maria ever so confident. He could only imagine all of the trouble that she's gotten herself into. Made him chuckle.

"I can't say that I -didn't- get into a lot of trouble. But I took a trip off of Meranthe for a while. Went around with some merchants. Got into a fare share of battles and such on the way. Got a lot of new scars too.

BUT in MY defense for my battles here on Meranthe.. most of em I didn't even start. And if I did, I was protecting someone, saving someone, or inspired.. not my fault."

He shrugs.

It was true. 2 of his battles were protecting Tate, 1 was for Justia, 1 for Aricles, Levius, Protecting a child from Trophia, fighting agrona, the snake, the gremlin, and the undead. Good times.

And as for him seeming different?

"I'm just happy, goober. Oh, right. I'm dating Hoshi too. So.. there's that. You?"

He nods. Figured someone should know that as he hadn't really told anyone. But onto THE topic, Majora releases a soft sigh. Reaching out a hand to boop his sister on the nose.

"These are fair concerns. If we can, we should definitely take some time out to see them. Well- that was the plan anyway, but.. we do tend to get busy often.

Pen is a bit.. special. So we should take extra care in helping her, however.. she -is- a grown woman. We have to think about that as well. But whether if she's ready for something like this is.. I'm not sure.

Pretty sure the goober's been away from society much more than she's been in it at this point. At the least- it'd be good to check in on her often. Make sure nothing's goin on and that she's safe and happy."

He nods.
(Majora Malibu)


[02:15] Maria's confidence was as potent as her pride. She carried herself strong, never allowing anyone to glimpse into her psyche, besides the rare few that would care for her.

Her brother being one of them.

She was still a bold woman. A bold bounty hunter and gunslinger, having already a few bounties to her name and belt. Despite her muteness, she'd still carry herself and her personality, knowing fully what and who she was despite it all.

Hiding her true feeling deep within that heroic facade.

"You haven't heard of your sister and her escapades with demons? Shooting them to death and saving others from their wrath?"

"I can be a hero too, you know?" she gestures and teases. Alas, it was quite obvious many of her own scars and battles were from her own volition.

"...But i'm glad you're okay. We...always fight to protect someone else. I'm glad that you are not so selfish like me."

Maria shrugs, insecure still of her own abilities. She had fought many low level demons and killed a few on her own, all the while drunk off her ass. Her skill with the pistol never known except for the civilians she saved.

And still, she felt as if she wwere not enough.

She knew the name Justia, as well as Tandava. Majora's actions had followed toward her, remarking naught but her own choices and actions too the world. The world deserved better from her. It needed her, to follow her heart more than her selfishness.

She smiles and chuckles at Majora's words. Her gestures were simple now, raising from her seat as she 'spoke.

"My dating life is none of your business..." she argues, huffing before breaking eye contact with her brother.

"...But Kateto and I we...well, you know." she doesn't speak more than that. Maria aims to reach at their mother's stash of wine. Rising from her seat and approaching their home's stash of bottles. She takes a bottle, drinking it's content's straight before acknowledging her brother.

"It's complicated."

"....But i'm glad you are happy."

"We should see Penny's boyfriend soon. I'd like to guage his character. Penny is...innocent. She's an adult, yeah...but we should check on her anyway. Y-you know how she is." she takes a swig of her wine. Changing the conversation before beckoning Majora to her room. Her words gesturing as she'd beckon.

"I wanna show you something. Follow me."
(Maria Malibu)


[02:41] Majora chuckles. It was good to see that at the very least, Maria was still able to joke around. Though he knew for a fact that there wasn't a single one of his siblings that was actually okay. Not even he was. Not entirely.

But perhaps that's just a Malibu thing. Something in their genes.

"Well, considering that your darling brother has been gone for like three years.. it's a bit hard to hear about anything. My apologies for being ever so ignorant, your eminence."

A faux bow is given along with something of a small smirk as he does so. And once raising himself again:

"I'm actually going to practice being a lot more selfish. I've been giving my life. My everything to ensure that everyone else around me is doing well- more than well, even. But.. not everyone is going to do the same.

And I've spent far more coin on other people than I have on myself. For once, I'm broke. Gotta get my coin up.."

It is true.. with his siblings alone, Majora's spent well over 400k. That's not even counting Tate, Hoshi, and some others.

"Your dating life is exactly my business, pumpkin. But I won't pry if you don't want to share. Whatever is going on, I hope you two figure it out. More than anything, I want you to be happy too. You deserve that much."

Something that he was still learning himself. Learning about one's worth and how to value it.. how to value his own.. Still a fairly foreign concept to Majora.

"Right. Let me know when you'd like to execu- I mean.. judge her boyfriend and I'll come along. I'll try and be around moe often in general.

I miss you goobers."

Oh- she wanted to show him something? What dat?
(Majora Malibu)


[02:54] Maria was as cocky as she was bold. It was evident to Majora had she carried herself. Despite all of her losses, Maria thought she was better than everyone else.

...Was she?

Perhaps it was her way of coping, or at the very least allowing herself to move on from the pain of her sibling's deaths. She didn't even think about their deaths anymore, as much as she did their memories.

She was still able to joke around. She carried a smile on her face, always cocky and always wanting to challenge the world that was so against her. She had nothing but a pistol to aid her, something that would change soon enough.

Malibu's were selfish. They desired freedom. It was why the world hated them so much.

Maria denied all of it.

She wasn't okay. She wasn't happy. She wasn't content at the world that she had lived in and the terrible things that had graced her.

But still, did she deny it all.

Did she rebel.

She grabs her brother's palm, pulling him lightly toward her room as the mute listened to his words.

"You are so stupid. You think I care about any of that?" she gestures teasingly, pulling her brother to her desolate quarters.

Of course she cared.

More than anything.

"I want you to be happy too, Jora. I...I want you to know how much I care for you. You can be selfish. I...i'm the same way."

"I am too."

"Be selfish. Us Malibu's are nothing but. And...we wouldn't have it any other way."

They duo were both situated in Maria's room now. As she gestures toward the items across her workbench. Actions, speak louder than words, as Maria shows the first steps of her magnum opus.

A rifle, she shows, she gestures. A rifle frame as dark and black as the midnight outside.That represented both the siblings the duo had lost, the pain in their hearts.

It was unfinished, parts still needed to be adjusted and completed. But the frame was there nonetheless, Maria looking deeply into her brother's hue as she gestured.

"...This is our rifle." she expressed. Grabbing the unfinished frame, made with the very same allow that Majora had given to her.

A midnight black, sparkling with the souls of both Lavenza and Levius both.

A heirloom for the Malibu's. A legacy. An idea.

To rebel against the world that hated them so.

SHe pushes the unfinished frame against Majora's chest, dangerously close toward their cheek as she lingered forward.

"..."

Again, would actions speak louder than words.

A gentle kiss, placed against her brother's cheek.

"I missed you too."

"I promise...I willavenge us."

"All of us..."

The frame of the rifle is pushed against her brother's chest, Maria intimately snuggling her head toward her brother.

Again.

Would actions speak louder than words.

This rifle she was making was for Lavenza. For Levius. For all that she had lost.

And for all she could still save.

"..."
(Maria Malibu)


[02:59] Majora Malibu Majora's gaze softens as he sees the handiwork before him. Unfinished, but.. still- he could see the vision. He chuckles. One arm holding the frame while the other wraps around his sister as a kiss is placed atop her forehead and her cheek in response.
(Majora Malibu)


[03:00] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[03:00] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:01] Maria Malibu places another kiss on their cheek, Maria's heart beating rapidly as she does so. She gestures'..."go to bed!"
(Maria Malibu)


[03:01] Majora Malibu says, "Wow- This is beautif--"
[03:01] Majora Malibu says, "Wow."
[03:02] Maria Malibu says, "....."
[03:02] Maria Malibu huffs...
(Maria Malibu)


[03:02] Maria Malibu thinks, "You can sleep here, if you want."
[03:02] Majora Malibu says, "Fine."
[03:02] Maria Malibu buzzes, "...When was the last time you slept? Look at you, you're a mess!"
[03:03] Maria Malibu huffs, pickig up her brother and placing them on the couch
(Maria Malibu)


[03:03] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:03] Maria Malibu gestures, Night, Jora. Love you.
(Maria Malibu)


[03:03] Majora Malibu chuckles.
(Majora Malibu)


[03:03] Majora Malibu says, "Night, pumpkin."
[03:04] Maria Malibu says, "...."
[03:04] Majora Malibu says, "Stay safe, I love you."
[03:04] Maria Malibu says, "Hnghmh..."
[03:04] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:04] Maria Malibu nods, sharing the same words.
(Maria Malibu)


[03:04] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:04] Majora Malibu says, "More than you know."
[03:04] Maria Malibu says, "N-..."
[03:04] Maria Malibu says, "Night."
[03:04] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[03:05] Maria Malibu buzzes, "Kitty!"
[03:05] Kateto Espero exclaims, "Ah, Maria!"
[03:05] The cat was maintaining the flowers at the memorial. Nature magic suffusing into the plants as their attention was drawn towards Maria. "I hope you've been well." They said with a smile.
(Kateto Espero)


[03:06] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:06] Maria Malibu nods, she seemed a bit droopy and tired, but alive nonetheless!!
(Maria Malibu)


[03:06] Maria Malibu ponders, "...Who are you grieving?"
[03:07] Kateto Espero says, "Are you hungover again? Ah, also Shiri set this up for Venza..."
[03:07] Maria Malibu thinks, "...Let me help. I can get some flowers f-.."
[03:07] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:07] Maria Malibu thinks, "I see."
[03:07] Kateto Espero asks, "I make sure to maintain it every so often. It...calms me a bit to tend to the flowers, you know?"
[03:07] Maria Malibu shakes her head! She wasn't hungover. Merely a bit tired!
(Maria Malibu)


[03:08] Maria Malibu thinks, "...Yeah."
[03:08] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:10] Maria leans toward the memorial, already did her eyes flow quite a bit if watery tears. She embraces the cross, expressing her own prayer within her psyche,

"I...I-...I miss you twinny. I....I am trying my best for you."

"..Please...look after me okay?" her psyche echoes. Tears wiped away as she embraced the cross.

A final reembrace of her sibling.

She doesn't express much of her emotion, yet Kateto is able to know and see, the pain still lingering in her heart.

(Maria Malibu)

[03:10] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[03:16] Kateto stays silent as Maria leaned towards the memorial. Allowing her to say her prayer within her psyche in silence.

The cat themself had already said their prayer a while ago, before they began their maintenance. Having a conversation with a headstone was a morbid sight, but a calming one nonetheless. It helped sort their thoughts out as well.

When the girl finished her prayer, the cat opened their own eyes. That pain which lingered in their hearts wouldn't go away, but things like this allowed one's mind to cope with it just a bit better.

"Take as much time as you need, Sunflower. I...know I spend a lot of time here as well."
(Kateto Espero)


[03:22] "...No. No, no, no...I can't..." her psyche echoes.

Maria did not want to remember.

But still, did she embrace the cross, the tears flowing from her hues.

"...Venza..Venza...why"

"You were supposed to help me. We were supposed to...learn Wayfinding?"

"Why did you leave?"

Thoughts of anger and revenge.

She hugged the cross, as she would do for her own sibling.

"Stop. Stop crying...STOP!" her mind echoes...

Waterworks emerging from her hues.

"Stop crying....stop..."

"...Stop..."

She gasps.

Waterworks flowing from her hues.
(Maria Malibu)


[03:29] Worry flooded Kateto's emotions as Maria's mind took a turn for the chaotic, hand raising towards her for a moment, mouth opening as if they were going to say something. However, they could not form the words. Nothing they could think to say would soothe her.

As they had learned through their experiences with Maria, however, often actions were far more meaningful than anything words could convey. Taking a step towards Maria, they knelt down and pulled her into their arms if she allowed.

It was only then, that they found the words to say. Though, they spoke within Maria's mind, a private thought shared between them.

["It's alright to cry, Sunflower. It's not a sign of weakness, nor something you should be ashamed of. Bottling up your emotions, it'll only lead to more pain later on."]
(Kateto Espero)


[03:35] "I can't..."

"I...I..."

"AAAAAAAGGGHHH!

Maria screams.

Her words filled with grief and pain.

She embraces Kateto, holding them tight. Their only source of comfort in the reminder of their pain.

She cries, weeping softly into their chest,

Her bottled emotions, selfishly awakened, echoing into the poor cat's chest,

She whimpers, holding them tight. Never wanting to let go.

She had lost so much.

She didn't want to lose any more.
(Maria Malibu)


[03:44] Kateto held her tight, trying to console her by gently running their hands through her hair as she wept into their chest. Much like she had done for Kateto not long ago. They rested their head against hers and whispered into her ear. "Everything will be alright. Just let it all out. I'm here for you." Basic statements, but ones they hoped would help nonetheless.

They didn't want to let go either, even if it was an eventuality, they'd hold on for as long as they could. Wishing with all their being to just provide a modicum of comfort to Maria in this time of need.

To be completely selfless was a self-destructive goal. One which Kateto and Maria both suffered from. Yet something they could not recover from alone, and as they had said before, they would care for Maria so she could become the best version of herself she could be.
(Kateto Espero)


[03:53] Maria holds her dear feline tight. She echoes into her ear once again, echoing "Kitty" in their embrace. Kateto was much like a cat. Something for Maria to pet and allow themselves to comfort her. She still patted their ears, embracing them and holding them tight against her chest.

"...Why?" she asks.

"...I don't...deserve you..."

Or anyone, for that matter.

So many mistakes....so much insecurity/

But she patted her little kitty's head, stroking behind their ears as she grieved. It was as if stroking a cat's head to relieve anxiety. Her digits combing against such delicate and soft lavender locks.

"..."

"...Are you...purring again?" she teases. Her heart is calmed by their presence. A gentle touch against their body, marking a melancholy smile across her features.

"..Silly kitty..."

"..."

(Maria Malibu)

[03:53] * You have been awarded 1 Levels! * [04:07] If Maria needed someone to pet and comfort her, then Kateto would be her cat until the end of time. The echoes of that nickname and the patting of their ears allowed their body to relax in her hold.

They lifted their head, a soft hand brushing aside whatever hair had fallen over her face. A gentle smile on their face as they looked into her eyes. Even if there was still some pain, they wouldn't let it show. The cat's forehead touched hers as they spoke softly, almost a whisper.

"You deserve the world, Sunflower. At least, that's my opinion. In comparison, I'm still just that lowly street urchin I started as." They paused for a moment, thinking of more words to say. "But, it's not a matter of what's deserved. Outlaws have to stick together, right?" With those words spoken, they gave her forehead a peck, before holding her close once more.

Maybe they had gotten too comfortable and started purring a little bit as they were pet once more. Their face got red as it was pointed out. "A-ah, well maybe..." They stammered out, holding her tighter in response. Though, only for a moment, as they chuckled after her next words. Whispering in her ear once more.

"Your silly kitty though. I'm here to comfort you, forever and always."
(Kateto Espero)


[04:14] "...Yes. Outlaws stick together. We are safe, here on this island."

She echoes,,,

Digits cross their once again, comforted by both their presence and words. Again, however.

Actions would speak louder than words, the little gunslinger echoing her feelings across their chest.
(Maria Malibu)


[04:14] Maria Malibu thinks, "...I have to sleep..."
[04:14] Maria Malibu thinks, "I'm...very tired."
[04:15] Maria Malibu thinks, "b-but. thank you. For making me feel.....better."
[04:15] Kateto Espero says, "Ah, then don't let me keep you. It was nice to see you again, Sunflower."
[04:15] Maria Malibu thinks, "You too, little kitty."
[04:16] Maria Malibu nods, before going back to her abode....

[23:23] With the Chronicler beginning his side of the work, Kateto got to work on the deeper internal damage. The rainbow energies snaking up the fingers on the pulse, utilizing the blood to spread it with less energy expended. Probing deeper, Sasha could feel the magic spread into the bones located in their neck and upper spine, infusing with absorption magics to allow for it to seep into the blood made by the marrow.

Luckily, much of the blood was made in the vertebrae marrow. As it slowly suffused throughout her system, the shadows which were deeper within her flesh and congesting her mana circuits would slowly fade away as they were drawn into the blood. Spread to an unnoticeable degree. Quickly overrun by her own mana like white blood cells destroying a pathogen.

Once they were satisfied, they'd pull their fingers back, tapping their chin as they observed the work that was done externally. "Hopefully that'll make you feel better. The Absorption magicwill fade with time, so no need to worry about that."
(Kateto Espero)


[23:23] A small, soft smile grace Tree's calm and stoic expression. He holds out a gloved hand, an offer to read her mana circuit, and do a proper examination.

[23:26] Aricles Alline says, "Look who's come out of the woods."
[23:26] Jaherr Valkynia says, "No... way..."
[23:26] Xander Mercury waves
(Xander Mercury)


[23:26] Xander Mercury exclaims, "Hello!"
[23:26] Xander Mercury exclaims, "I'm not dead yet!"
[23:26] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!"
[23:27] Chompa says in telepathy, Caught for what, friend?
[23:27] Kateto Espero asks, "A friend of yours?"
[23:27] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!!!"
[23:27] Aricles Alline says, "Have fun catching up. I'm heading to pick some things up, And aye, Xander's been gone around seven or eight years."
[23:27] Maria Malibu thinks, "Erm-...d-don't worry about it..."
[23:27] Jaherr Valkynia says, "A very old one, the Blue Haired One is Xander, and... Chompa in the ba-"
[23:27] Jaherr Valkynia says, "Okay..."
[23:27] Xander Mercury says, "Yeah I think they were in a hurry"
[23:27] Xander Mercury says, "Something about ores"
[23:27] Kateto Espero says, "Luckily I am familair with Chompa. A pleasant fellow."
[23:28] Jaherr Valkynia says, "Xander, I had thought you died."
[23:28] Xander Mercury says, "Nahhh"
[23:28] Xander Mercury says, "I was just like"
[23:28] Xander Mercury says, "Not around "
[23:28] Jaherr Valkynia says, "Huh... well it's been a while-"
[23:28] Jaherr Valkynia says, "Oh and- I may used some of your stuff."
[23:28] Xander Mercury says, "Aye, like 8 years"
[23:28] Xander Mercury says, "Eh thats fine"
[23:29] Maria Malibu bought Arcanium for 4800c from Fortune Requisitions!
[23:29] Xander Mercury says, "I'm not too particularly attached to... stuff..."
[23:29] Xander Mercury says, "Worldly possessions are always fleeting"
[23:29] Jaherr Valkynia says, "Oh alright, I can have a room for you ready if you want. Oh-"
[23:29] Xander Mercury says, "Oh no worries"
[23:30] Jaherr Valkynia says, "Well... you're still welcome at my place, Its only you and... Etain who has the keys to-"
[23:30] Xander Mercury says, "Alright sounds good, I might show up every so rarely"
[23:30] Maria Malibu asks, "...?"
[23:30] Maria Malibu ponders, "Why's this guy looking at me?"
[23:31] Maria Malibu thinks, "...Oh, maybe he's staring at the pole."

[23:32] Jaherr Valkynia says, "I'm staring at Ardence over there."
[23:32] Kateto Espero says, "Ah, the masked one. I seeeeee."
[23:32] Jaherr Valkynia asks, "He's wearing... a skirt?"
[23:32] Maria Malibu thinks, "He seems lonely."
[23:32] Kateto Espero says, "It's a killer skirt. I would take one if I wasn't attached to these robes."
[23:33] Maria Malibu thinks, "You would look quite good in a skirt."
[23:33] Maria Malibu nods.
(Maria Malibu)


[23:33] Ardence de la Croix says, "It is a plated skirt, yes. Good on you, seeing past the invisibility glamour."
[23:34] Kateto Espero says, "Then I'll have to make one. Ah, and is that what that is? My sixth sense for fashion must be doing me well."
[23:34] Charlotte O. Nightwalker asks, "Wait people can't just normally see that?"
[23:34] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "Huh."
[23:34] Maria Malibu thinks, "...Oh, right."
[23:34] Ardence de la Croix says, "Mm."
[23:34] Maria Malibu thinks, "...That's what I needed help with..."
[23:34] Jaherr Valkynia says, "We're all in the gloom, everyone has telepathy or some other sense."
[23:35] Maria Malibu ponders, "Kateto, can you translate for me after you are done?"
[23:35] Xander Mercury says, "Welcome back Aricles"
[23:35] Maria Malibu thinks, "I want to speak with Charlotte."
[23:35] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "Eh I just have good eyes."
[23:35] Aricles Alline says, "Aye."
[23:35] Maria Malibu nods at Kateto.
(Maria Malibu)


[23:35] Ardence de la Croix says, "They're all gifts. I can't do much to acquire armor and the like myself."
[23:35] Xander Mercury says, "You're quite fast"
[23:35] Aricles Alline says, "Need to be. Using a sword makes it downright essential."
[23:35] Aricles Alline says, "Otherwise they just run away."
[23:35] Kateto Espero says, "As always Maria. Charlotte, Maria needs to speak with you in a sec. Unless you have telepathy in which case I don't need to translate."
[23:35] Xander Mercury says, "What the fuck"
[23:36] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "I am not telepathic, also I know what she's about to probably ask me."
[23:36] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "She's in."
[23:36] Charlotte O. Nightwalker gives a thumbs up.
(Charlotte O. Nightwalker)


[23:37] Aricles Alline offers a gentle clap towards Maria. Despite his efforts, the gauntlets still sound like two pipes hitting the floor.
(Aricles Alline)


[23:37] Maria Malibu asks, "...?"
[23:37] Maria Malibu blinks.
(Maria Malibu)


[23:37] Maria Malibu ponders, "...Wh-...what?"
[23:37] Charlotte O. Nightwalker asks, "Wait was there something else she was gonna ask me?"
[23:38] Maria Malibu shakes her head!
(Maria Malibu)


[23:38] Maria Malibu thinks, "...But I made a fool of myself..."
[23:38] Sasha was definitely relieved to not have to self mend her injury over hours alone, as both the Chronicler, and one of Fortune's own began to work on the injury, as moved her hand away, the glowing light vanishing with it to allow them to work.

Even renowned doctors need someone to mend them. All were made equal when injured.

Once the injury had been stabilized, the aura of light making it possible to now wheeze out her words, and a small amount of blood she spit out onto the flagstones. Who slides spikes into a persons neck?!

"You have my thanks for the quick work. Today has been.. A day.."
A sudden chill ran down her spine as she felt the draining sensation of her mana being drained, along with the very thing keeping her aging body going nearly as well as it did. The dragoness would definitely be sleeping this one off, given the fatigue she now felt.

Still Sasha had to give props to the unique use of such a magic. It was not often one saw such, as most tended to use it for combat related purposes.

"Mm, definitely one of the more.. Unique treatments I have been on the receiving end of, but its definitely better then it would have been without your help."

Her throat was mended, and she seemed to stable enough. At least as far as someone who nearly died could be.

"Both of you will likely be fine doctors of note, if you keep developing your skills."
(Sasha Cron)


[23:38] Chompa pats Parmoni's head.
(Chompa)


[23:38] Maria Malibu thinks, "I passed out in the forest..."
[23:38] Parmoni floats into Chompa and offers and aggressive hug.
(Parmoni)


[23:38] Maria Malibu ponders, "...You're still willing to take a chance on me?"
[23:38] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[23:38] Parmoni asks, "Are you in need of anything, friend?"
[23:38] Chompa says, "No, my friend. I am okay."
[23:38] Parmoni says, "Great to hear."
[23:38] Parmoni says, "I will see you soon."
[23:38] Chompa nods.
(Chompa)


[23:38] Maria Malibu pouts, she seemed a bit contemplative!
(Maria Malibu)


[23:39] Kateto Espero says, "Hey, it's our job. Deal with wounds as quick as we can with as little side effects. Though I usually deal in more traditional methods of healing, this wound required a bit more of my magical knowledge."
[23:39] Shirin Shigenobu says, "Good day, Aricles..."
[23:39] Aricles Alline says, "Hello, Shirin."
[23:40] Aricles Alline says, "Nice bow."
[23:40] Shirin Shigenobu says, "Mhmm.."
[23:40] Kateto Espero says, "Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and eat a good meal now that your throat should hurt less when eating. "
[23:40] Aricles Alline asks, "Up to much?"
[23:40] Shirin Shigenobu says, "Ahh..."
[23:40] Sasha Cron says, "Perhaps so. Although all the same, I am not feeling all to hungry right now."
[23:41] Jaherr Valkynia asks, "It is our gratitude to be, Lady Sasha. If you've time can we have a conversation in private?"
[23:41] Shirin Shigenobu says, "Not much..."
[23:41] Kateto Espero says, "I need lots of practice still, but I thank you for your confidence. And yes, but still, fluids. Water, tea, whatever. Just make sure to drink things while your blood normalizes."
[23:41] Shirin Shigenobu says, "Say, Aricles..."
[23:41] Sasha Cron says, "Simply ask a time other then right now."
[23:41] Aricles Alline asks, "I was about to head to Aegis. Hm?"
[23:41] Jaherr Valkynia says, "Quite soon then."
[23:42] Maria approaches Charlotte. Her brow furrows as she envelops a confused expression. She taps at her chest as she looks at Charlotte, as if to ask 'are you sure?'

She had made quite a fool of herself last time.

Of course, she was drunk off of her mind, but that didn't really give her an excuse.

Maria simply takes out her notebook. She begins to write, using the tried and true method to communicate. Something she hadn't had to use in a while...

"I am sorry, for making a fool of myself in the forest. I do not believe whiskey and fighting mix well." she teases, before swiftly writing in her notebook once again.

"You are still willing to take a chance on me? You already know I am not the best fighter."
(Maria Malibu)


[23:42] Kateto Espero asks, "Ah, seems I'm needed elsewhere as well maybe. Stay safe, alright?"
[23:43] Shirin Shigenobu says, "... I need to fix my hair as soon as possible... Well-"
[23:43] Shirin Shigenobu says, "Have a lovely day..."
[23:44] The cat appears behind Maria, sliding a bit as they tried to switch directions too fast. "Ah...well I can translate if need be now. Sorry for the wait...though seems you've found a decent way to communicate." They said between breaths.
(Kateto Espero)


[23:44] Maria Malibu says, "Mm."
[23:44] Maria Malibu nods.
(Maria Malibu)


[23:44] Maria Malibu thinks, "...This is how I used to communicate a while back."
[23:44] Maria Malibu thinks, "...Before everyone learned telepathy."
[23:45] Charlotte would nod, letting out a bit of a chuckle.

"Yes, yes I'm sure, we've all had drunken fuck ups Maria, just don't make the Drunken Fuckups a constant and we'll be good."

Charlotte would say with a smile on her face, extending her hand out towards the Malibu.

"I'm willin to take the chance, we all start somewhere, and in my opinion you've got a solid floor your own, and we can work from there quite comfortably."

She would say before looking towards Kateto.

"Ah, thank you for the offer, but, yeah, it seems communication has been found."
(Charlotte O. Nightwalker)


[23:45] Kateto Espero says, "I can imagine it's quite a taxing method as well. I might need time after my Abscission to relearn telepathy as well, but I hope you won't have to resort to it with me during that time."
[23:45] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "I'll try not to, plus you're not the only Nightfall Telepath."
[23:46] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "Or."
[23:46] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "Wait."
[23:46] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "Not the only telepath I know.."
[23:46] Giving a salute to Charlotte, the cat takes a step off to the side, sitting at the table to the right. "I'll be here if I'm needed. Ah, though if I'm not, tell Nomul I said hi when you see him next. Hopefully I'll be able to visit more once I'm freed."
(Kateto Espero)


[23:47] Charlotte O. Nightwalker says, "I shall, I shall."
[23:50] "Aha..."

"Aaaah...."

"..."

Maria sort of blushes as Charlotte speaks to her. It was as if she were being chided for her actions. Well deserved, but luckily Charlotte would realize Maria was a better fighter when not drunk off her mind.

And much more tolerable as well.

"You have yourself a deal."

"...It means the world to me." her thoughts linger. And while Charlotte may not be able to hear them, the expression and gratitude was still present upon her features. She goes to shake the woman's hand softly, a blush still caressing her expressions.

She taps her chest, nodding with both determination and acknowledgement of the woman's words.

"..."

"So..." she turns to Kateto now, a simple question to be translated.

"When do I get to shoot things?"
(Maria Malibu)


[23:50] The cat chuckles at that last question to be translated. "She asks when she gets to shoot things, Charlotte."
(Kateto Espero)


[23:55] Charlotte would put her hand back to her side as the handshake ended, tilting her head to the side as she then waited for the next thing to be translated.

And, when she heard Maria's question come from Kateto, she would smile, letting out another chuckle before responding.

"Quite soon, there's an ent that needs to be hunted, and along with the ent, the Atrellyans are also about to come knocking, so you'll have a lot of shit to shoot in a short time."

She would say, giving Maria a reassuring thumbs up.

"Hope you got a lot of Mana-Rounds for such in that gun of yours, especially for putting down demons."
(Charlotte O. Nightwalker)


[23:56] Kateto Espero says, "I'll keep my medical equipment ready just in case."
[00:01] "..."

"Mm."

She furrows her brow. Just the mere mention of the word 'Atreyllan' would cause her to express determination in her hue. Her breathes remain low, anger already flowing from her heart as she remembered...

"..."

"G-...good." A quite rasp leaves her lips. While Maria was a selective mute, it did not mean the occasional word did not slip every once in a while. Simple words that took some effort to say, but meant much nonetheless.

She smiles cockily, unholstering her pistol before flipping it across her palm. She holds it upward, nodding with a fervent hue.

All Charlotte needed to do was point the gunslinger in the right direction, and she'd start firing.

Perhaps her magics weren't the best, but her precision?

Deadly.

"Hehe." she winks, as if to say 'of course!' as she spins her revolver around her palm again, holstering it promptly.

Another nod, Maria deciding it best to call it for today. She taps her chest, nodding at Charlotte, as if to say that she can count on her whenever she needed.

"I gotta go Kat. Gotta go get some more Arcanium! A-and...money."

"I'll see you later, kitty."

Maria turns to Charlotte, waving her off before going on her way.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:04] With a smile as Maria's happiness at being accepted was evident in her actions. The cat nodded in her direction as she excused herself. Whilst it was likely just as much her wishing to go collect things for the peace it brought, they still wished to offer their aid nonetheless.

"Ah, if you need any money I can always give you some, but do stay safe either way."
(Kateto Espero)


[00:04] Maria Malibu thinks, "No, no. I can't ever ask you for such things."
[00:04] Maria Malibu thinks, "I'll just ask Majora."
[00:04] Maria Malibu smiles.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:05] Maria Malibu buzzes, "He's my brother, he has to give me stuff!"
[00:05] Kateto Espero says, "Come oooon, what's mine is yours and all that. Let me just spoil you a little bit."
[00:05] Maria Malibu shakes her head!
(Maria Malibu)


[00:05] Maria Malibu says, "Nuh uh."
[00:06] Kateto Espero says, "Majora probably is far richer than me as well I suppose..."
[00:06] Maria Malibu thinks, "You've done too much already for me, kitty."
[00:06] Maria Malibu thinks, "Yeah, unsure how he has so much money..."
[00:06] Maria Malibu thinks, "Momma does too, though."
[00:06] Maria Malibu thinks, "...Think Majora is a sugar daddy."
[00:06] Maria Malibu ponders....
(Maria Malibu)


[00:07] Kateto Espero says, "Doing too much is kind of my thing. It's why half of Meranthe hates me and the other half loves me."
[00:07] Maria Malibu thinks, "Such is life, kitty."
[00:07] Kateto Espero says, "Oh and I can tell you. It's adamantite pants. The most lucrative market."
[00:07] Maria Malibu thinks, "...I think it's the same for me."
[00:07] Maria Malibu ponders, "Adamantite pants...?"
[00:07] Charlotte would understand the anger, she felt the very same about the Wolves that she hated so dearly.

"Mhm, the Ent is dangerous, and I would not mention engaging it without others to back you up."

Charlotte would say with a sigh as she mentioned the thing.

"Atrellyans however, see if you can kill em by the dozen, though still uh..be careful."

She would say, taking a deep breath.

Though as Maria waved and went along her way, Charlotte would wave back.

"You stay safe out there Maria!"

(Charlotte O. Nightwalker)

[00:07] Kateto Espero says, "Sell them to the merchants around towns for 250 coins a pair. With only 3 pieces of ore needed for pair, it's very nice."
[00:07] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[00:07] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!!"
[00:07] Maria Malibu rushes off to the nearest cave.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:07] Maria Malibu waves!
(Maria Malibu)
[00:26] Maria Malibu waves!
(Maria Malibu)


[00:28] Maria Malibu smiles...deviously...
(Maria Malibu)


[00:28] Maria Malibu shows Majora a chunk of Arcanium, she pouts and looks toward the side, as if asking to be lent some more...
(Maria Malibu)


[00:35] Majora Malibu reaches out with a small smile, squishing his sister's cheeks.
(Majora Malibu)


[00:35] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!!"
[00:35] Maria Malibu says, "Mweeeeehhh~"
[00:35] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[00:36] Maria Malibu tries to escape!
(Maria Malibu)


[00:36] !!!!
(Maria Malibu)


[00:36] nuh uh
(Majora Malibu)


[00:36] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!!"
[00:36] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[00:36] Maria Malibu accepts her fate.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:36] Majora Malibu says, "There's my adorable little goober."
[00:36] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[00:37] Maria Malibu shoves a chunk in Arcanium in her brother's face, signing the number '2'
(Maria Malibu)


[00:37] Maria Malibu puppy dog eyes.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:37] Majora Malibu says, "Guh.."
[00:38] Majora Malibu says, "I suppose I can lend you some."
[00:38] Maria Malibu says, ":D"
[00:38] Maria Malibu gestures 'thank you!'
(Maria Malibu)


[00:38] Majora Malibu kisses her forehead.
(Majora Malibu)


[00:38] Majora Malibu says, "Anything for you."
[00:38] Maria Malibu gestures 'i'll make it up to you soon! I just need to work on some extra parts for my rifle.'
(Maria Malibu)


[00:39] {Item} You picked up Arcanium x2. Dropped by Majora Malibu.
[00:39] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[00:39] Maria Malibu prays to the rng gods...
(Maria Malibu)


[00:39] Maria Malibu has taken Arcanium (x7) from the chest at 319,812,7
[00:39] Maria Malibu has taken Orichalcum (x9) from the chest at 319,812,7
[00:41] Maria Malibu gestures, 'wait right here!'
(Maria Malibu)


[00:42] {Item} You drop Lavender Moon V1 Prototype.
[00:46] Maria emerges holding her newly assembled rifle. It was naught but a mere prototype, having been assembled with the parts and mold that Maria had created with Kateto. More runic sequences and it's 'sights' would need to be added. Yet the properties of an Arcanium rifle were there, all the same. Perhaps she needed to make some upgrades to it's internals at another day. But for now?

This was her rifle.

Lavender Moon.

A tribute to both Lavenza and Levius. Her magnum opus, and the basis of what was to be the Malibu's family relic.

It was merely a prototype, yet made so that Maria can upgrade it quite easily. Into something truly special someday...

She hands it to Majora, smiling tenderly as she did so.

"What do you think?" she gestures. The rifle carries a pitch black sheen, crossed in silver and articulated with runic sequences across it's pitch black frame and wooden stock. It was made of shining Arcanium, perfectly matching it's pitch black components. If Majora gave a clear eye, they'd notice that the frame of the rifle had been made using the very same ore they had gifted his sister.

A midnight black, made with the utmost care and precision.

The Arcanium was needed to adjust a few of the parts, mostly the rifling, which would seem quite precise! And of course, it's trademark lever. Just pulling it down made the most satisfying of clicks, Maria smiling with pride.
(Maria Malibu)


[00:52] {Item} You picked up Lavender Moon V1 Prototype. Dropped by Maria Malibu..
[00:53] {Item} You drop Lavender Moon V1 Prototype.
[00:54] Maria Malibu has taken Viridium (x6) from the chest at 319,812,7
[01:14] {Item} You picked up Sunglsses. Dropped by Majora Malibu..
[01:26] Majora hadn't expected his little goober to come out with the prototype once again. However.. this at the very least was much better than what he'd seen before. Cerulean hues looking over the craftsmanship thus far as he notes his sister's prideful smile.

It was always lovely to see.

It's taken in hand, which trail all along it's frame. Majora's digits tracing about the ebony intricacies, then to the silver. Getting a feel for the smaller parts of the weapon first. The warmth of his smile only grows as he feels a familiar energy surging throughout.

The stone.

He chuckles, nodding along- but of course.. he -had- to crank that lever just to feel how lovely it felt. And.. amazing it did. Ugh.. now he was jealous.

"This is very well crafted, Maria. You've done an amazing job so far. Looking forward to what you'll accomplish in the future with this. If I can help with ore or anything, feel free to ask. I'll help however I can."

He nods. It would be his pleasure.

"They'd be proud.."
(Majora Malibu)


[01:31] "..."

A symbol, a mere prototype. Yet it's production made with quite literally, the blood, sweat, and tears of the little gunslinger. She wouldn't let anyone take this weapon away from her. While it wasn't special now, Maria would work day and night to complete it into something truly special.

Compared to the other night, this prototype was functional! She was proud of her work, taking the rifle in her hands and slinging it across her back. Wearing it proudly, and remembering the ones who had inspired her to make it.

For Lavenza. For Levius.

For all she had lost, and those she can still protect.

For her family.

"Th-...thank..."

"Than-...thank you." Her raspy voice escapes her tone. Her heart fluttered, filled with emotion as she wore the weapon proudly against her back. She places a hand on her chest, as if to wear the emotions in her heart. Overwhelming, fleeting, filled with both joy and sadness.

"Mm!" she nods. The rifle still had many more upgrades that needed to be made! But for now, it would be Maria's trusty companion, alongside her revolver.

"..."

"..."

Some tears flow as she hears Majora's whispered words. The very weapon was based off of Lavenza's own blueprints, of course. The original idea was a weapon for Levius. For Maria to have finished it and wear it so proudly, it made her feel as if she were truly carrying on their legacies.

She'd hope they'd be proud.
(Maria Malibu)


[01:31] {Item} You picked up Lavender Moon V1 Prototype. Dropped by Maria Malibu..
[01:32] Maria Malibu yawns.
(Maria Malibu)


[01:33] Maria Malibu gestures 'I should get going, i'm gonna go give it a few test runs. Goodnight!*'
(Maria Malibu)


[01:34] Majora Malibu says, "Fight me."
[01:34] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!!"
[01:34] Maria Malibu says, "GWUH"
[01:34] Maria Malibu exclaims, "Mm!"
[01:34] Maria Malibu cranks her rifle!
(Maria Malibu)


[01:34] Maria Malibu says, "Aaaah~"
[01:34] Majora Malibu fingers his harp.
(Majora Malibu)


[01:34] Maria Malibu cranks it again, loading it swiftly with a variety of mana bullets.
(Maria Malibu)


[01:34] Maria Malibu exclaims, "Hehe!"

[02:06] Maria Malibu huffs...

[02:06] Maria Malibu says, "Hmmm..."
[02:07] Majora Malibu asks, "Hm?"
[02:08] Maria Malibu ponders, "...Where are all my reagents?"
[02:08] Maria Malibu ponders, "...Did I eat them?"
[02:09] Maria Malibu gestures to Majora: 'Can you help me do quests?'

[02:13] Majora Malibu says, "Hmm."
[02:13] Maria Malibu adjusts Majora's collar.
(Maria Malibu)


[02:13] Maria Malibu says, "..."
[02:13] Maria Malibu seemed anxious!
(Maria Malibu)


[02:14] Majora Malibu reaches out to remove the wreath atop his sister's head. If allowed, his crown is then placed there instead.
(Majora Malibu)


[02:14] Maria Malibu says, "Gwuh..."
[02:14] Maria Malibu lowers her head.
(Maria Malibu)

[02:15] Maria Malibu returns the boop.
(Maria Malibu)


[02:15] Majora Malibu chuckles.
(Majora Malibu)


[02:15] Majora Malibu asks, "Have you eaten?"
[02:15] Maria Malibu says, "Mhm."
[02:15] Maria Malibu nods.
(Maria Malibu)


[02:16] Maria Malibu did seem a bit droopy! However...
(Maria Malibu)


[02:16] Maria Malibu thinks, "...I don't get why my rifle isn't siphoning my mana correctly..."
[02:16] Maria Malibu ponders, "Is it the alloy?"
[02:16] Maria Malibu thinks, "The calculations were precise. They were Lavenza's..."
[02:16] Maria Malibu thinks, "It doesn't make any sense..."
[02:16] Maria Malibu hums, something seemed to be bothering her.
(Maria Malibu)


[02:17] Maria Malibu ponders, "...Is it...me?"
[02:17] Maria Malibu ponders, "...Am I just not that good at magic?"
[02:17] Maria Malibu thinks, "There's gotta be something I can do..."
[02:18] Majora Malibu was hoping the little goober was just hungry.. ruh roh.

[02:18] Maria Malibu says, "...Um-..."
[02:19] Maria gestures to herself. She shakes her head, signing toward her brother.

"I just feel too weak." she says, shaking her head once again.

"I made this rifle, and it doesn't seem to want to respond to me. Like they alloy wants a more powerful magi to wield it. I can't...siphon the amount needed to make the alloy in the rifle and the runic sequences effective."

"I can't even use my own rifle." she hums again, pondering her faults and what she was doing wrong.

"...There has to be something I can do."
(Maria Malibu)


[02:20] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!!"
[02:20] Maria Malibu walks up to her mom! Hugging her softly.

[02:21] Maria Malibu gestures 'Sorry...'
(Maria Malibu)


[02:21] Majora Malibu says, "100k. "
[02:21] Maria Malibu gestures the number 15...thousan-...
(Maria Malibu)


[02:21] Maria Malibu shakes her head!

(Maria Malibu)
[02:26] Meryl Malibu says, "...Of course, honey. Don't worry."

[02:32] Maria Malibu sighs...
(Maria Malibu)


[02:32] Majora Malibu says, "You say that."
[02:32] Majora Malibu says, "But I do the same for mom."
[02:32] Maria Malibu just slams her head on the pillow, allowing her brother to tuck her in against her will...
(Maria Malibu)


[02:32] Maria Malibu says, "Phoo...."
[02:32] Majora Malibu chuckles.
(Majora Malibu)


[02:38] Doesn't seem to mind his sister's little fit. this was just one of many ways that the boy showed his affection. Hands raise to pull the covers over the younger Malibu. Gently taking his hands to poke the sides nearest to her, ensuring that the blanket was tucked into her form..

On top of making sure that there was enough room so that the blanket had leeway to fully cover her feet. Whether Maria wore her boots or not. Afterwards, he fluffs her pillow and leans down to press his lips to his sister's cheek and forehead.

"I love you, pumpkin. And.. no matter how old you are.. I will still do this. Because I love you. Don't take that for granted, goober."

He nods, though the same warm smile stayed glued to his visage as he spoke, patting her shoulder as he does so.

"I'm proud of you though. And you have my full support in your endeavors. Can't wait to see what you do next, Miss outlaw."
(Majora Malibu)


[02:44] Maria sighs, her mind was full of thoughts already. Her hues and mind were droopy, yet filled with cycling thoughts about the days ahead.

Why was she so weak?

She couldn't even use properly the rifle that she had made. All the blood, sweat, and tears...for nothing?

No. It Couldn't be that simple.

Her brother's affections quell her mind, at least. She lie there, staring at the ceiling, her brother at her peripheral. She'd stare at it blanky for a few moments, gazing into her thoughts before darting those selfsame hues toward her brother.

She smiles, she knew that it was hard for her to express herself. That Majora was simply worried, looking out for her. Showing his affection as he always did.

She allows herself to be tucked in. Despite feeling like a child, it was as...comforting as it was embarrassing. It brought her nostalgic memories, of when Majora used to protect and care for his baby sisters in the selfsame way when they were younger.

"..."

She nods, smiling softly, as if to say "I know."

She makes a heart with her hands, emerging from the sheets as if to say how much she loved her brother as well.

"Heh..."

"...I'll try my best." she gestures. Alas, the sleepiness gets the better of her. She tucks her hands into the sheets. Closing her eyes and giving in the abyss.

Finally, she thought.

A silence.

A little sleep for a little outlaw.

For tomorrow was yet to be written.

"..."
(Maria Malibu)
