So. After a lot of debate, I'm finally deciding to update Road.
It's not going to be pretty. :||
Bullet time!
- Road returns home! Is wiped of all memories of the DR (of course) and returns to her normal lifestyle of being shut in a room by the nurses and the Order
- The War is nowhere near starting up again, but even so, five years later, many paranoid members of the Order want to make absolutely sure that they have more weapons besides the Innocence in case something else happens
- All Exorcists object, but the head man, Rouvelier, issues an order stating that they must find an experimental subject to test these weapons
- And of course, Road is chosen. She has been at the Order for five years and counting, so they use the excuse that she is an invalid and needs to give something back to the Order for the amount of time that they have put into taking care of her
- A month after the order, Road is sent to the labs. Tyki Mikk is not informed of her being chosen, and neither are Miranda Lotto, Allen Walker, and Lavi.
So that's the basic gist of it.
It has been three months since the experiments began. Road now has numerous scars from testing and needles, bruises, and much more. Most of them are on her stomach area, along with the Exorcism scar, and others are on her calves, her upper arms, and the back of her neck. She has been drugged many times, but others she has not - she has felt the full pain of the experiments done to her (this was mainly for endurance testing). Road is no longer fine with people simply touching her, especially when grabbing her wrist or her shoulder. Hugs, she can do. She will always like hugs.
She also now has a bit of an aversion to locked rooms. Especially when their walls are white. She also keeps away from knives.
The song has grown louder in her head, but she rarely sings it anymore, even when she's in her Third Stage. She's simply too tired to do so anymore.
It has been about eight months for her canon update. I'm taking her from where she was let out for a bit on her own after heavy testing in a secluded part of the Order. They're not that heartless. Oh, and based on the entry, she'll be okay with people touching her. She's too tired to care about it.
She does remember the DR, forgot to mention that. It's just been such a long time that she won't remember at first.
. . . I am a sucker for angst.
