For those brought to some odd park within the nexus, there is nothing of real note about it. An empty playground is not such an odd thing considering it is the middle of the night. However certainly the more observant will notice the little pink-haired four-year old slowly swaying down to the ground with a pink umbrella as her parachute ( Read more... )

He didn't like to be by himself sometimes. His thoughts caught up with him, surrounded him and made him remember that time. He was broken when they found him, and he wasn't sure he was fixed now. He wasn't sure he'd ever really be fixed. It made him angry, that those people, the enemy, would do something like that to him. It frightened him, to know ( Read more... )
