Start of Darkness [Active]
Character(s): Karst, Marisa
Content: Karst goes to see if it's true that Auntie Unde's has vanished, and her thoughts of her sister get more and more vivid...
Setting: Auntie Unde's (H7)
Time: Late Evening, after dinner
Warnings: Possible Heartless attacks, possible Touhou-style violence, etc.
Auntie Unde's was a one-stop shop between the center of Paixao and Niflheim Gate. Not surprisingly, Karst had become a rather frequent patron of theirs in the months (had it really been so long? it was too easy to lose track of time when the seasons never seemed to change) since she'd come here, since most of her travels were between central Paixao and Niflheim Gate.
So it bothered her a lot to hear that Auntie Unde's had been one of a group of buildings that had mysteriously vanished shortly after Sin's defeat. It was almost as much a problem as the hints of blonde hair and red-and-white dress she'd thought she saw several times over the afternoon and during her meal and discussion with Lenne and Shuyin, but which hadn't responded at all to her discreet attempts to signal.
By the time she hopped off the train and started making her way toward Auntie Unde's the latter was no longer just a hint. Karst could clearly see her sister walking just ahead of her, occassionally looking back with her usual proud smirk. If she listened hard enough, she could even hear Menardi taunt her to keep up, before vanishing into a cluster of locals long enough to turn up even farther ahead the next time Karst saw her.
"You always were the slow one, Karst."
"I'm trying," she gasped, breaking into a run and ignoring the strange stares that those around her gave her. "I'm trying, please wait! Slow d-" She tripped over the pointed toes of her own shoes, and when she recovered her footing, her sister was gone again.
And she was at the store she'd come to see. Was that even important to her now?
