    Derrick locked up his shop and cleaned up his tools to make sure he had everything in order for the next day ahead of him. He had not planned on going to Korr, and he still was not going to. His wife however wanted to, so Alice went with her father and mother to Korr. He was confused why, she couldn't go to anything because she was a peasant and the most she could do was see the parade they usually had.
    Either way, he was in charge of his son who never came back from the errands he had sent him for.

    Derrick left the shop with the money he had made that day in a pouch and he walked down the street. He acknowledged some of the people happily but at the same time was looking around.
    "Isaac!?"
    He crossed his arms as he stood the the center, everyone was heading home at this time. How does a boy of his age lose his way from a delivery? He must have purposefully ran off, hopefully he delivered the maces and received payment for it. He could go for a drink right now...

    She sunk to the ground and sat down once more. She rubbed vigorously at her hand in hopes of getting some of the pitch off. Although she could not get it off completely, she managed to clear off a few specks of it, and a little bit of light shined through it.
    Her first instinct was what she chose to do, she looked through the specks to see if she saw anyone... at that moment, she could not. She held out her palm in front of her because the mirror was still stick, and she used the mirror like a flashlight. It kept fading out on occasion.
    The light it gave off was better than walking blind.
    She finally got up to a wall and looked up. There were rocks she could climb to bring herself to the surface. She did so and found herself in an under part of the cliffs people often tried to climb. She knew jumping out and running would be risky, especially with the tar on her body. She looked once more in the mirror and then walked along the underpart until she found a section concealed enough for her to sit and clean off the mirror more.
    "Hello? Is there someone on the other side who can hear me?" she whispered as she observed the area and tried to listen for approaching footsteps.

    Pretty much everything Eleanora had done at the end of her day, Bronagh did too. Except, she took a shower rather than drank tea with Eleanora, then although she said, "Goodnight." back to Eleanora, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She was staring at the ceiling and forced herself to smile. Everything had gone well today, and if they all went out like that some time again, she would not mind it.
    x
    She kept her eyes closed and waited a while, creating daydreams in her head until she actually fell asleep.

    There was now an army of snowmen outside. She was out there for so long making Snowmen in different shapes, forms, and poses that even after nightfall she still continued to moonlight, because it was rather clear out in the sky.

    She went inside and showered and prepared for bed. She ate a piece or two of chocolate before she climbed into bed and was fast asleep.

    She kept on going until the levels raised, and ground was felt at the end of the tunnel.
    x
    It's like light.
    x
    She quickly crawled up onto it, climbing out of the pitch and crawling on her knees until she was a few inches away from the edge. She fell on her back and breathed out, she felt the stick tar covering her and wished that it was gone. She could not see anything, but knew she was now on earth. Light being absent was a sign she was encased in the earth, and she could only hope she would now be free of the pool forever.
    Hope. Finding hope in hell is like finding a needle in a haystack.
    x
    She forced herself to stand up, but before she did, she felt a mirror in her hand, but it was completely covered in dried up pitch and stuck on her hand. She walk a few steps in the darkness then stopped.
    x
    "I don't know where I am or know where I am going..." she whispered to herself, "If I can see my partner through the glass... can it send back a light from their side?" she kept walking in the dark until she felt a wall, "Ugh but it is stuck on my hand... how am I supposed to get out of here?"

    U-um...Yes, actually. I got a strange email quite some time ago and a lot of others did, too. I wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but I'm convinced now that it-it's legitimate...
    x
    Bronagh had taken a bite out of the muffin as she listened to the conversation. She had just bit off another bite when-
    x
    There were a list of names in it. I don't remember if I saw your's, though...
    x
    She realized at that moment exactly what she was talking about. She covered her mouth as she coughed and forced herself not to shout. What if Bernadette was NOT one of the people who had received the email and therefore was not part of the game?
    x
    There's always risk I guess...
    x
    What she meant to say in her head was said out loud, "Yeah, you sit there thinking it's just a spam email and then people on the list end up..." she caught herself before she continued. She looked up at the two, slowly shaking her head, she was forcing herself to keep quiet.
    x
    I don't want to listen to this...
    I want nothing to do with this damn game.
    I sat there hoping I could ignore it.
    I can't
    Everyone seems to be in this game.
    Everyone seems to bring it up too.

    Bronagh closed her eyes and breathed out as she took another bite of the muffin.

    She raised her head up and breathed in what could suffice as air, and sunk underneath the pitch.
    x
    It burns.
    x
    She expected it, she allowed herself to sink under. She wouldn't dare open her eyes to see where she was going, unless she wanted to lose her eyesight.
    x
    She swam down into it, as though it was a pool of burning water. When she felt stone she held onto it and felt the ground. She did this in about 20 seconds, already losing air. When she reached a point where the cliff and ground under the pitch met, she felt around until a large gap was found in the wall. She swam into it and lost her breath.
    x
    She made sure not to swallow any of the pitch as she shot up. She was not going as fast as she would in water, but she hit the surface very fast and breathed in air. But she noticed a change in location. Everything was dark.
    x
    Shit, am I in an air bubble under rock?
    x
    She moved around and noticed that it was almost like a cave, she was still in the pitch. She decided it was better to just keep swimming in the cave rather than go back to where she was.
    x
    The problem was the air was limited in this cave.
    x
    She kept going whispering to herself, "Please, oh please don't be a dead end..."

    He was holding the bag when all of a sudden it jumped out his hand and a robot... rabbit? Jumped out and started hoping around. He got confused and a bit ticked off by it, but it became worse as 20-30 more popped in and started a fuss.​

    He knew the rabbit was that girl's. He looked around and saw her ducking down for cover.​

    He pulled up the gun and pointed it at her, "Tina Talks-a-lot. Get up off the floor."​
    x
    Right as he said that he heard a loud noise and realized it was an alarm. But he was so confused by the environment that he thought it was a break in or robbery alarm.​
    x
    "What? Impossible?!" he said as he looked around for his partners in a panic. He at this point had dropped his gun, unprofessionally by him, and was searching frantically.​

    At that moment right before, she was just not paying attention.
    She was looking at the surrounding, trying to distract herself from her own nerves. She wasn't doing too well, but at least of all things she was trying.
    "Why is such a lady of your beauty and stage doing out here. Please, let me direct you into the castle my lady."
    Her head turned quickly to match up the voice with the human talking, and her eyes caught a man with dark hair. She bowed her head and smiled softly at his compliment.
    "Oh my apologies. My name is Sir Beta, Captain of the Korr Royal Knights. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
    He is a captain?
    She stood up and smiled at him, "Thank you, I am Keeva Massey. It is a pleasure to meet you."
    She did not have anything else to say, she just waited politely to be lead inside.

    She had explained to two of her most trusted workers.
    They said they would keep her father safe and would watch over her farm. She put on the dress and washed her face. When the carriage had arrived she was read. She took a small amount of money with her, she did not expect to go big spending.
    She was a bit frightened, she spent most of her time in the farm, she never had the need to go into a town or anything. She was really excited to see the ocean though, she hadn't in a long time. Not since her mother died.
    Her mother, she was of noble birth in Lazinth. Not royalty. Her father was just a mere peasant. But, like any love story the two met and fell in love. But the two couldn't be together because of their differing social classes. Rebelling in a way, the two packed bags and ran off to Korr, where they married and had Keeva. Her mother died 7 years ago during child birth, the baby also had not survived. Her father became ill within the past two years, but she suspected he really caught it soon after her mother had passed away.
    The dress was clearly the dress of a noble, but she modified it slightly a few years back. That was because she got rid of signs of the former family it belonged to, except a small crest in the back. If she modified it, the dress would have fallen apart.
    In the end, she did not care. She was born as a farm girl and a farm girl she preferred. But people were trying to take that away from her already.
    At least they will be pleased that it is being watched over by men temporarily.
    When they finally reached the village, the castle was in sight. However, unlike most people she was not paying attention to the castle, she was paying attention to the seaport. She always wanted to go on a boat and sail off, even if for business. But she knew she was lucky enough to own a farm at this point. There was no sense chasing after unachievable dreams.
    When they finally got to the castle, she was helped off the carriage. It was already night at this point. She stared up finally at the large castle in front of her. Her nervousness had finally set in. She stepped back from the entrance and one of the guards at the door looked at her with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"​
    She turned to them and smiled, "Y-yeah, just nervous is all."
    She walked into the main entrance and she was told to wait until the Queen was told of her arrival. She sat at a small chair that was in the area she was told to wait.
    I don't think I did anything wrong... hopefully this is a good thing...

    Introduction: 3/4
    The girl with heartbroken eyes
    -------​
    "Seventeen flowers in a tight little row."
    "Sixteen yell stop."
    "And one yells go."
    "Where that little flower went I don't know."
    "Sixteen little flowers left, oh oh oh~"

    The little girl about six smiled at the woman in front of her, she was her aunt. The little girl lost her mother a few years before, but the girl didn't care. Her aunt was her mother, and she trusted her.

    "Your turn Minnow."
    The little girl stared absently as she hugged her knees and sang.
    "Sixteen flowers in a little tight row, fifteen yell stop and one yells go. Where that little flower went, I don't know. Fifteen little flowers left, oh oh oh~"
    The aunt clapped at her before a knock came from the door and the aunt turned nervously. She put her hand on the girl's shoulder and spoke, "I'll be back, keep singing sweetie."

    "Okay Auntie... Fifteen flowers in a little tight row-."

    The aunt opened the door and stared at the man in the entrance way.
    "Good afternoon madam, are you Minnow Love's guardian?"
    "Yes... I am Tulip, Tulip Kings."
    "You are not from the Love family?"
    "Love is my maiden name..."
    "Very well, may I come in?"
    "You can come in, but I do not approve of it."

    "Fourteen little flowers left oh oh oh~"

    The man sat down at a table and put his hands on his lap, "Your brother worked very hard for us, but unfortunately he never payed off his debt."
    "He worked for you until his death, I heard you were coming and you will not be taking my niece away. I will not let you."
    "I am not taking Minnow, I am taking Olibanum with me."
    "Olibanum? You renamed her in your code already?! I never gave you consent!"
    "Tulip we have been waiting for the Love Clan to repay us for years, we have allowed you, Clannies to live with the Cities. Would you like us to kick you out? Turn you into slaves?"
    He leaned forward and spoke, "Kill you, and your niece both."

    "Auntie! What number comes after thirteen?"

    "We have married within Citi families for generations, we no longer have real abilities."
    "Your family still has a heightened state of mind." he tapped his head and spoke, "You can complete multiple things at one time in just your mind alone. Olibanum just happens to have a higher rate at this than you do."
    "She's only a child, please. You want her in A.A.C. I will let you do this, train her when she is training age, but please do not take her away from me!"
    "Part of this deal for years is for the first born to be taken at age four to be trained. She is already age six."
    "No please..."
    "I can terminate this deal but in the end it will terminate all blood related members of the Love Clan."

    Tulip bit her lip and was almost reduced to tears as she head in the background.
    "Eight little flowers left, oh oh oh~"
    "Why her? You could have taken my son. He is fifteen, that is the training age."
    "You would throw your eldest son away like trash?"
    "N-"
    "You value your niece over the son you bore?"

    "Six little flowers left, oh oh oh~"

    The aunt covered her face, tears in her eyes, she wiped them and yelled, "Of course not! But she is all I have left of my family now with my brother dead."
    "She will still be a part of the Love clan, just raised by the A.A.C."
    "Could I visit her?"
    "Absolutely not."
    "Then forget about it."

    "Three flowers in a little tight row, two yell stop and one yells go. Where that little flower went, I don't know. Two little flowers left, oh oh oh~"

    "That little voice of hers, do you wish to hear that singing turn to screams?"
    "You know it will when you take it away."
    "I mean the screams of a child dying."
    "The A.A.C is above killing children!"
    "She is not a child. She is a Clanni."
    "Minnow is a Citi, she will always be a citi. A Clanni is not only the bloodline you are born but also the way you were raised."
    "If you believe that, then is it not her duty to serve as a Citi in the A.A.C?"

    "One flower in a little tight row"

    Tulip rubbed her eyes and looked the man straight in the eyes, "What you speak is true of the fourteen year old."

    "None yell stop but the one yells go."

    "You have one more chance to answer, Do I take Olibanum, or do I kill Minnow?"

    "Where the little flower went I don't know."

    "Do what you must, but know I will never forgive you."
    "We will keep her safe Miss Kings."

    "No little flowers le-"
    The man grabbed the girl and the girl screamed, "Let me go! Stranger! Let me go. Auntie! Auntie! Minnow needs help!"

    Tulip covered her eyes crying and whispered back, "Goodbye Olibanum..."

    She woke up and took a while getting herself ready, she put on some makeup and dressed up to get out of her dorm room because she really couldn't handle it. She put on a coat and gloves and headed out of her dorm room. The moment she was she turned her head and stared at her laptop on the table and whispered, "That is some crazy shit I am not dealing with today."
    x
    There was still snow on the ground from the blizzard, and the atmosphere was rather bland other than that. She clapped her hands together and decided to make a snowman. She started rolling up 3 large snowballs, the first one being the largest and the last one the smallest.
    x
    She stacked them up on top of one another and she stretched for a moment before she saw a small bird fly into the snow. It was early for birds, but this bird happened to be an annual bird. She finished up the first snowman and started on a second one.
    x
    For about a minute she stayed in shock in the small little field next to the dorm, she forced herself to turn her head to look at the building.
    x
    Calm down sweetheart the dorm is right there, you need to calm down hun. You aren't in the middle of nowhere.
    x
    She shook her head and although breathing a bit heavily, she continued building the men of snow.

    She felt bad for not offering Bernie a coat, it hadn't crossed her mind at the moment. But luckily Eleanora did and that was settled quickly. The trip there made her realize she needed to get new tires in her wheelchair soon, or at least get the air filled in them again.
    Bronagh usually did not drink coffee, she was more of a tea person, but although it was an option here she still got coffee. She ordered a medium Mocha Iced Coffee despite it being winter, and a chocolate chip muffin. When she had rolled up to the table and joined them, she had taken a bite right as she heard.
    "Vhy did yuu ah-sk abuut strange emails bevor? Did yuu git zohmething strange too?"
    Bronagh listened to the conversation, she wasn't taking anything suspicious from it, just an oddball conversation about emails. Spam emails are always interesting, although she wasn't entirely sure if they were talking about spam emails.

    When Bronagh was done she was waiting for Bernie and Eleanora to be ready, she decided to check up on events and got alerted about news. This time the news had names of the kids who died. She gasped as soon as she saw the list and found herself staring in horror at one of the names.
    Kallisti Lein.
    No... no I didn't even... I didn't...
    She shook her head quickly to try and forget about it, maybe it was for the best. After all, she was going to be a vessel for a demon if she had done it. Who knows what could have happened if that was the case. She knew other names too, like Elizabeth, the girl who visited her in the hospital... well, didn't visit her, more like, spoke to her in a group room. And Christina, which made her feel even worse... she was the one who didn't talk and she met once at lunch, she still had her number.
    The other names she felt bad for not knowing them directly, she recognized the name Anthony as Elizabeth's brother, Allison was that girl who ran up to Quintus when Bronagh had helped out Bernadette when she fell.
    Bronagh's eyes went back down to the list then she quickly shut off her phone. She rolled over and picked a coat out of the 3 she had and her face was still in shock, her lips turned down into a frown and she breathed out sadly.
    No Bronagh, don't be the mood killer.
    She forced herself to smile as she found her wallet that was in her notebook bag.

    She was now the one playing the fiddle.
    Everyone was dancing to the song she was playing at this point, no one was sitting down, everyone was happy. Her eyes were closed as she engulfed herself into the music. When she opened them she saw something out of the corner of her eye. A man on a horse was heading up the road towards the farm house
    She asked Grasshair to take on the fiddle this time which he agreed in happiness.
    She ran quickly to the front of the home and waited in front for the man. Where else would he have been heading on this road? The fields? She doubted it. He approached and stopped the horse and spoke,
    "Good evening, Miss Keeva Massey. Her royal highness has requested your presence at the royal court for this evening. There will be a carriage sent for you soon, unfortunately I failed to get to you any earlier. I apologize. Would you like to rearrange the meeting?" the man on the horse had trouble keeping the horse steady.
    Keeva exchanged a smile and said, "No need, what time would the carriage be arriving?"
    "Just before sundown at this rate."​
    "I will be ready then."
    "Very well, be safe Miss Massey." he spoke as he rode off. She looked at the sun and noticed it was sundown and she frowned, "He could have said very shortly..."
    She turned to see a couple of the workers looking at her and she motioned for them to continue as she slowly entered the house and walked into her father's room where he lay asleep. She quietly walked to the other side of the room and opened up a small cabinet.
    Inside was her mother's formal dress, there was a reason that her mother had many formal dresses, but she wouldn't think about it now. Besides it was the reason her father was in Korr and the Massey family was split.
    She pulled out the dress and whispered to herself, "Well mother, I have a reason to wear this dress now. Never thought I'd be summoned to a castle."

    The long day was nearing it's close for him.
    He hammered away at the final sword he would make that day, his work was now slowed now that a treaty was being upheld through a wedding, but this never meant he didn't have work. It just meant less because weapons were not as needed.
    When he was done he heard a knock at the door and yelled for their approval to come in. A man walked in quickly and spoke, "I am here to pick up my order."​
    "Ah yes, Sir Vincent, nice to see you."
    We walked to the back and pulled out a beautiful long sword and came back holding it up, "As requested, I engraved a dragon that can be seen as soon as you unsheathe the blade. Not requested, but ceremoniously with my engravings of dragons, I heated and smelted the blade with green fire."
    He placed the blade in the sheath and handed it to the knight, "You may test before you pay."
    He pointed at a dummy just by the door.
    The man hacked away at the dummy and turned around with a smile, "This is one of the best swords I have ever held." he walked up and placed a bag with money on a scale, which evened out with the weights placed on it. The man smiled as he held up the sword.
    "Thank you Master Massey."​
    "It is no trouble at all, may your sword protect you in hard times."
    He watched the man leave as he put out the fire in the hearth, smiling at the compliments of the sword by the man.

    "Now Teagan. Just don't overdo it."
    She became distracted by the moment that she forgot the most important part as she activated all the bunnies telling them to hop around with a couple of them making a high pitched noise as they hopped. She watched smiling at them before she put her phone away.
    x

    She watched all the confusion begin and ran to look for some place to duck. Some of them were hoping over heads. Within the place there were exactly 28 robotic bunnies, she purposefully kept the 2 unfinished ones home. When she found a place she saw number 7 hop by and her eyes widened.

    She smiled at the offer and said, "Sure, I'd love to- Oh!"
    She rubbed the back of her head and spoke, "I forgot to tell you that I had the breakfast you made me and I loved it. That was a while ago... wow. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you about that until now, I haven't seen you conscious."
    She got really quiet as her face went red and she covered her face, realizing the last thing she said, "That came out so wrong... I'm going to go get changed quickly."
    She wheeled over to her bureau and grabbed clothes and then rolled into the bathroom where she changed, she had grabbed her stuff quickly because she was embarrassed.

    Hm... Kingdom Hearts 2... Although for the longest time it was Roxas' theme and Sanctuary that I'd normally say. I honestly really liked Twilight Town's theme(Lazy Afternoons) and that one's my favorite.

    Sure, Lazy Afternoons was technically introduced in Chain of Memories, but I didn't play Chain of Memories until after KH2 because I didn't know it existed. But since I heard it in KH2 first I consider it my favorite KH2 song.

    Actually, Lazy Afternoons is tied with KH2's version of Deary Beloved. I always get this huge nostalgic feeling when I listen to it.

    Bronagh had trouble waking up, but finally managed to open her eyes and realized she never made it back to bed.

    It took her a moment to register that Bernadette was there too, "Oh, hello Bernie!" she said in a happy, half awake voice. She looked at her phone quickly to see if Darrius might have gotten her text and replied. Nothing yet.

    She stretched before saying, "I spent all day yesterday trying to get my friend out of police custody. I didn't realize I fell asleep..." she chuckled a bit before going red in the face, she was embarrassed and it was clear.

    All of the phone calls made to her and emails sent were ignored. Well, of course the emails were. She sent the people she had on her friend's list her new email and deleted her old one... but the email moved to her new one. After a while Jessie just became horribly annoyed with it to the point she couldn't take it anymore.
    She went into the bathroom and washed her face staring into the mirror then quickly looking away as soon as she was done washing it. She changed into PJs and went climbed into bed, but she found herself staring at the ceiling thinking about it. Maybe she was just imagining things, or maybe a very good prank was being pulled by someone on her contact list. Either way, she quickly grew tired and fell asleep immediately.

    It didn't end as quick as she hoped, but it luckily ended and Shadow was free. They actually ended up taking him to the HQ, and she asked if she could please go. They brought here there and after a long process they matched the phones and facts and he had alibis. He couldn't go back to the school though within 30 days though, which meant if she wanted to see him she had to get out of the school.

    When she got to her dorm, she wasn't as tired as much as she needed to relax. She made herself a cup of green tea and sat at the table thinking upon the day. There wasn't really much other than a bunch of legal stuff... or at least she was trying to ignore what almost happened the night before.
    She was so damn close to telling Shadow about the game...

    She really just wanted someone on the outside of it all to vent to, but it was against a rule. It was almost torture. Who did she know that was outside of this... she didn't have any fri-
    Oh wait, I forgot to text Darrius and ask if he was alright...

    She didn't make it to her bed, she had passed out right at the table next to a half empty cup of green tea.

    The atmosphere of the outside of the small little farm house could raise the energies of the saddest of the sad.
    7 men were settled in chairs, clapping along to the fiddle played by an 8th man. 3 women were dancing with 3 men laughing in a happiness as they exchanged little words before switching between each other. One of the men in the chairs was holding a toddler on his knee, bouncing him up and down to the beat as the child laughed gleefully. The surroundings would be a similar way as this until hours after sundown.
    Keeva was inside the house, humming as she carried food into the room where her father lay. She placed the food on his lap and smiled. Her father smiled back as he handed her a glass of wine from the side of the table.
    "How did you get wine? We can't aff-"
    The man in the bed smiled as he spoke, "This harvest was the best we have ever had, and it's the first year you have run this farm. When the workers here joked with me earlier and blamed witchcraft I laughed along."
    He raised the glass up at her and she did the same, to which he spoke, "To the year."
    "But the harvest isn't over... this is just first crop, second crop has almost riped."
    He sipped the glass and spoke, "This has always been the harvest week for us, and this will always be the annual day."
    She smiled as she sipped from the glass and spoke, "Wonderful how well the harvest week was timed."
    His smile faded a bit before he said, "Are you speaking of the royal marriage?"
    Keeva's smile faded too as she said, "Well of course. Is there a problem father?"
    He looked out the window as he spoke, "Although I will never hold it against you, I wanted to watch my only daughter marry away."
    Keeva moved from the chair to the bed and spoke, "I rarely ever leave the farm to even think about finding someone I would love."
    He placed his hand on his daughter's head and spoke, "There is nothing wrong with that, but work is not the only thing to have in a life."
    "If I marry he will make me a kitchen wife."
    "That's not always true. Look at your cousin. His wife makes clothes, and she always wanted to."
    "My cousin has always been that one exception."
    "There's more than that."
    Keeva stood up and spoke, "I do not wish to be rude but I must check to make sure nothing is destroyed by them."
    He laughed, "They do not drink before the sun is setting."
    She smiled as she walked out of the room and out into the sunlight. She stretched out her arms and spun around to have her dress flow for a moment.
    She watched them dance and chant along before one of the men sitting down stood up and walked over to her. He was one of her father's good friends who was called "Grass hair" as a joke because of how often he would have grass in his hair, she had known him for a very long time. He outreached his hand,
    "A dance, Madam Massey?"
    She accepted and they joined the group of them. They all laughed along as the sun peaked the sky.
