BLAST FROM THE PAST BABBY

[dawgeater]

[A young man wanders through the halls, a rusted pipe gripped firmly in his hand. He glances around from time to time, ever alert. Cuts and scrapes decorate his skin, the bandages seem old and tattered.

Stopping at a corpse, he crouches down and starts rifling through it’s pockets, muttering apologies.]

[meaningbychoice]

[This is certainly new. A boy, somehow familiar, and not spliced-at least, as far as she can see. Eleanor follows in the shadows before curiosity gets the better of her and she makes her presence known, approaching cautiously.]

Hello..? Are you alright?

[dawgeater]

[Grips the pipe harder before turning around, eyes widening at her suit. His gaze travels up to her face and he relaxes somewhat, she seems normal. He stands, wiping his free hand on his trousers before holding it out to her.]

As good as you can be around here. My names Amir, Miss.

[meaningbychoice]

[Eleanor takes the offered hand, her eyes going wide when she hears the name. There's hesitance on her face for a moment before she speaks again.]

..This may be silly, but I used to have a friend called Amir. Did you ever know a girl by the name of Eleanor..?

[dawgeater]

I did! How...

[He pauses as realization hits him and grins.]

I did indeed! A real devil of a child, she was!

[meaningbychoice]

[She raises an eyebrow, laughing and hardly able to believe it.]

Devil of a child? As though you didn't deserve what you got!

[Trails off, her face falling into a weary smile, then HUGS ;n;]

[dawgeater]

[HUGS BACK]

Okay maybe I did...just a little. I'm going to miss those pigtails.

[Ruffles her hair a little and laughs.]

Can I ask...what happened to you?

[meaningbychoice]

[Smiles sheepishly, then takes on an thoughtful expression.]

My mother..Sofia Lamb, do you remember? She was arrested, and I was taken away. After that...well, it's a long story..

[dawgeater]

Yeah, she's still just as scary as she used to be.

[Has a clue to what some of that story must be. The Family loves to go on about their Savior.]

You look like you've been faring alright, though.

[He tugs lightly on the collar of her suit to make his point.]

[meaningbychoice]

I have my father to thank for that.

[Smiles, clenching and un-clenching her gloved hands.]

I'm so glad you're well, and I'm...amazed to see you in one piece.

[dawgeater]

Oh, that's good. If anyone should be amazed about that it's me!

[Laughs, fidgeting a little bit and looking around. He looks back to Eleanor with a surprised expression.]

I didn't know you had a father.

[meaningbychoice]

Oh, he isn't...my real father, per say..

[Goes silent for a moment before speaking again.]

When I was taken away, I was turned into a Little Sister...and bonded to a Big Daddy. But he's proven to be more than just a protector to me.

[dawgeater]

[Gapes, unsure whether he should think her batty or not. He decides she's the one in the Big Sister suit, and probably still has a mean right hook.]

That...wow. He's like and actual Big Daddy? What's he like? :O

[meaningbychoice]

[Sees his expression, unsure of whether to continue or not before plowing on.]

Yes, he's an actual Big Daddy. He isn't brainwashed like the others, though. He's his own person, and a good one, at that.

[dawgeater]

[Is going to try very hard to buy this, because if it's true then it's so cool.]

And you're not kidding me? ...Can I meet him?

[Tries to contain his excitement.]

[meaningbychoice]

[Is so pleased by this reply :D]

Of course you can! He's..hmm, I'll have to find him first, but he'll be glad to meet you.

[dawgeater]

OUO
