The First Dream - action

 [Citizens of Luceti, there is something odd in the skies tonight. It's not a bird, and certainly not a plane. It seems to be a caricature of a young girl, like a child's self portrait. It's flying around town, shadows twirling and flowing around it like ribbons, and it... appears to be searching for something. Anyone with the appropriate abilities ( Read more... )

[Adell's heading back home from an evening patrol by this point.

The floating image of a girl zipping around in the air causes him to stop in his tracks. That's not something you see every day. ...But it's... somehow very familiar.

He stands in the snow, looking up at it as it floats around. Doesn't seem to mean any harm.]

[There appears to be a guy watching. The image is going to stop in midair, gathering up a blast of shadow--]

[Wait. It knows him. Vaguely, but it knows him.]

[The blast, already headed towards Adell, splits in two before it can hit him and dissipates harmlessly on the ground. The image itself decides to approach, cautiously.]

[The blast of shadow heading his way causes him to raise his guard and be ready to block it...]

[But then it splits in two and misses him entirely. That was no accident. He blinks at the attack being diverted, then looks back up to the floating caricature, watching it as it draws nearer.

...Wait... he's getting a better look at that face now... and it's slowly falling into place.]

[It stops just in front of Adell and speaks in a voice deeply entrenched in the Uncanny Valley; not quite what a young girl should sound like, but close enough to be unnerving.]

What's your name?

[It is unnerving, but it's not something Adell openly displays. He keeps his cool and looks back when it speaks to him.]

Adell.

[Adell. Adell. That name... it knows - she knows that name. The facade fades, revealing a scared little girl in a white dress. Immediately, she rushes towards Adell, clinging to him and sobbing profusely.]

[To say he's surprised when the facade fades at the mention of his name is a little bit of an understatement. To say he's surprised to see a girl charge toward him and cling to him and start crying? That should be obvious.

Reflexively, he gently put his arms around this girl, hugging her lightly and attempting to console her. But after a moment, getting a good look at this girl, he finally realizes why things have happened the way they did.

His voice at first is... confused, surprised. But not unhappy.]

... ...Vivi?

[And the crying and sobbing... he has to be a rock for her right now. So his tone becomes gentler and kind.]

It's all right, Vivi. It's... it's okay.

[She... just clings, although her desperate crying is quieting down somewhat.]

[Eventually, she gathers just enough composure to ask one simple question.]

Where's... where's Mom?

[Mom. Mom... for her, she used to stay with Patchouli... hm.

He gently rubs the top of her head.]

Patchouli lives in a new house now. ...I'll take you there. Everything will be okay.

[As familiar as Adell might be, he's still a guy... and she can't even tell if it's really Adell. Vivi shakes her head.]

Just t-tell me where she is...
