She is supposed to be a child
(niknik) [GS] - *is sitting on William's porch*
(jasonbeast) [William]: *sticks his head out the door* Howdy, little missy. Somethin' I can help you with?
(niknik) [GS] - *doesn't say anything, but is playing marbles*
(jasonbeast) [William]: *squats down nearby* SO how logn you been in Mittlagart?
(niknik) [GS] - I was here before this was a house. I was here when there were dead trees.
(jasonbeast) [William]: *nods slowly* And you'll probably still be here when it's long gone.
(niknik) [GS] - *looks up* What do you think I am? *looks back at her marbles, and moves them around a bit*
(jasonbeast) [William]: *small shrug* Not sure. A spirit. A faerie, perhaps. *smiles a little* You start acceptin' the gods and the Jotun, and it just seems silly not to accept the rest of it.
(niknik) [GS] - I'm supposed to be a child.
(niknik) [GS] - You need two others. One is coming soon.
(jasonbeast) [William]: And this is supposed to be a lush and prosperous little town. 'Stead, from what I hear, it looks more like it hasn't quite gotten out of the Dust Bowl era yet.
(jasonbeast) [William]: Two others ... ?
(niknik) [GS] - You're already involved. We picked you, led you to this house.
(jasonbeast) [William]: *nods slowly*
(jasonbeast) [William]: ... and by "we," you mean ... ?
(niknik) [GS] - *smiles and hands a marble to William* That is the fourth. You need only one other.
(jasonbeast) [William]: *peers at the marble*
(niknik) [It's a regular marble, dark blue, with swirls of brown, green, and white. You get the feeling you should not lose it]
(jasonbeast) [William]: *carefully pockets it* Can you tell me anything about the fifth?
(niknik) [GS] - You aren't ready.
(niknik) [GS] - She wasn't ready to go. But it was time. It's not time for you to know yet.
(jasonbeast) [William]: *nods again* I can accept that.
(niknik) [GS] - They didn't let her know until she wore the pendant. *spins one of her remaining marbles* Then they told her what she was to tell all of you.
(jasonbeast) [William]: They, who?
(niknik) [GS] - Her ancestors.
(niknik) [GS] - It's all spread out over years and ghosts and houses.
(niknik) [GS] - Muss es sein?
(niknik) [GS] - Es muss sein! *is no longer there, but her marbles remain*
(niknik) [Eva] Who was at the door? *a few moments later*
(jasonbeast) [William]: ... girl scout. She left marbles. *points*
(niknik) [Eva] ...are they real?
(jasonbeast) [William]: Well ... no idea. She also gave me this ... *hands her the Fourth* Said to be careful with it ... it's important, somehow.
(niknik) [Eva] ...wow. *hands it back* I'm not very responsible.. you better hold on to it.
(jasonbeast) [William]: *nods* So ... how're you coping? Things still feel really weird to you, too?
(niknik) [Eva] Yeah.. but I'm starting to accept it. It's going to be weird without Adalia...
(niknik) [Eva] Weirder than it is right now, I mean.
(jasonbeast) [William]: ... and Grant is mayor? *shakes his head*
(niknik) [Eva] Nobody seems to remember that things ever were different..
(niknik) [GS] - *is waiting for Sarah as she leaves work*
(Amyperson2) [Sara] *exists, and glances at the girl.* Hello! What you doing out so late sweetie?
(niknik) [GS] - Hello. You're Sara, right? I was waiting for you to leave. I can't go in there.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] Yeah, I'm Sara. Who are you? ... You were waiting for me?
(niknik) [GS] Yes! I'm going to walk with you. I don't want to walk there alone.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] Alright! *Smiles, doesn't quit understands but starts walking.* I'm sure I'd be alright... it's a good safe place. But the company is nice. *smile*
(niknik) [GS] - It's not safe anywhere.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] Why would you say that? *looks concerned, more about the girl than anything else.*
(niknik) [GS] - Aren't you afraid of the monsters?
(Amyperson2) [Sara] *Has her helpful, psych focused face on.* Monsters sweetie? I don't think I know of those? Do monsters hurt you?
(niknik) [GS] - They don't hurt me, but they're here, waiting for you to be alone.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] Hmm? For me? ... *makes a face, like she's trying to go over things in her head.* What do they look like, these monsters?
(niknik) [GS] - For any of you. They're large, and live under the town.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] *smiles a moment* Under the town. Why do they want to hurt 'us'?
(niknik) [GS] - Because they are mean. I don't like monsters.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] No, I don't like monsters ethir. *thoughtful.* Hey, sweetie how'd you know my name?
(niknik) [GS] - You live with the Kauffmans. They have a new daughter.
(niknik) [GS] - You go to the college, and they took you in so you would have a place to call home.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] That's right. New daughter? ... Ohh, she just got back from school. She's really nice! So are her parents.
(niknik) [GS] - Even with the monsters in the basement?
(Amyperson2) [Sara] In the basement? *is thinking of all the possable things that could mean, she doesn't yet get it.*
(niknik) [GS] - Behind the stairs. You should be really careful living there.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] Ahh! Well, I will. *looks confussed* Thank you for telling me about it, you can tell me anything.
(Amyperson2) [Sara] I'm a good listener. *smile*
(niknik) [GS] - That's a pretty bracelet. You should make sure you don't lose it.
(niknik) [Looks like you are near the Kauffman house. There is a house nearby, with several lights on, and what looks like someone glancing out the window.]
(Amyperson2) [Sara] Yeah, my mother gave it to me. *she shows her all the diffrent charms, tells her where she got them.*
(niknik) [GS] - That's really pretty.
(niknik) [GS] - Don't lose it! ... I've got to go inside, my mother is worried about me. *goes off into the house*
(Amyperson2) [Sara] *can she tell who it is? Or is it just a shape of somebody in the window?*
(niknik) [Just a shape]
(Amyperson2) [Sara] Alright, goodnight ... *relises she never caught her name.*
(Amyperson2) [Sara] *watches the girl go in, then heads towards the Kauffman house.*
