CHARACTER CHAT!!!!

eh, morning then.


Jess
I wake up with a yawn. "Morning, world..."
"You're too peppy for your own good..." I hear Kim murmur into her coffee, roll her eyes slightly.

darn it! gtg! School stuff. See ya later!

alright

Hi! Hmm...same deal with Cricket, walks in and whistles, yadda yadda you read it.

Sarah
I smile up at Cricket, though there's a shadow over my face. Sometimes reading thoughts isn't the best thing in the world. Ami's simply pretending to sleep. She couldn't sleep a wink. Mo blinks awake and whistles back.

Cricket smiled at Mo, and looked around to see who was awake. Then his eyes met Ami. She was breathing too quickly to be asleep. "Morning, starlight."

Ami
I open my eyes, watching him blankly.
Jess giggled. "Is that your new name?"
"No."
Emily smiled. "Come on, girly. You need a secret identity!"
"Starlight has nothing to do with me," i say confused.
"Like it has to be?" Jess pointed out. "Starlight starbright, the first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight!"
Kim shakes her head. "Starlight isn't nearly BA enough, expecially with that nursary rhyme popping into my head every time it's mentioned..."

"Nah, she's stuck with starlight. Although I 'aven't heard th' rhyme b'fore," Cricket said drowsily. "Oh. And if we ever get t' Luna and th' lowlanders meet you, be prepared t' be renamed."

Ami
I curl up. "Too many names, i don't need anymore..." I pull at my sleeve, my brand more apparent to me now.

Cricket smiled slightly and shook his head. "No choice there. Once you're named...you're stuck for life. Y'know how many times I've tried t' change mine?"

Ami
I smile, but it fades quickly at a memory and i look away. I pull up my sleeve and study my numbers. "...Crick..." Ayakashi and i must be getting close. I don't usually have her memories. Flashes of things, but never something so concrete...

Cricket's smile faded. "...Aye." His eyes flitted to the numbers on her wrist. He glanced up, met her eyes and looked away. "How did she know, any'ow?"

Ami
"Know what?" I question, unsure by his meaning.
Sarah pauses. "A dream?"
I look over to her. "A coincidence, i suppose. We've...heard it before, certainly..." The sound a neck makes when it snaps. Like Wisp, like so many of the failed experiments, like the first man when i woke up.

Cricket sighed. His life began, truly, the first time he heard that sound, and that's probably where it would end. "Well, that's me."

Ami
Sarah frowns, looks away too. "Don't think that..."
I look over to her. She could never turn her power off, like the others. I sigh, wincing slightly. My chest still hurt, that is physically. Emotional was still there, that hole ever consuming. Deep, black, hungry.

winter is on!

"It's true," Cricket said, and then shook the thoughts away. He smiled. "Not without a fight, though."

Yay!

Ami
I give a small smile, though it's troubled. "I'd defend you." I feel Ayakashi in the background somewhat. A weapon, defending. Ironic, really. She wasn't in control though.

nvm, she disappeared...

Aw...

*plots away at Cricket's possible death* Muahahaha....
Cricket: "I don't like that laugh...why?!"
Remember the teenage daughter threat, Crick, it'll make you feel better. I'd make her rebelious and run off with some idiot boy in need of a haircut, make you feel the Warden's pain.
Cricket: *shivers*

Cricket's smile flashed a little wider, but there was a shadow over it. "I've lived a lot longer than I could've. Consider me lucky." He paused a moment. He didn't want to die, but that didn't mean it wouldn't happen. He figured he probably had a year or two. What was the use of fighting for life if there wasn't much to live for? He had hope, maybe he would pull through with something other than a few stolen peices of gold to account for. But if hope ran out...he held a reassuring smile. "But if you ever 'ave t' chose between me and another, let me go. This scrawny little streetrat's not worth it."

Winter's on!

can't help you there, Cricket... XD

Ami
I look away. "You need to see the stars. I'll show you, some time."
Mo pipped up. <oh, yes, yes!>
I smile up at him. "And you can come as well."
