I feel kind of bad now. ;o;

[Marlicks hate the dark! Even little ones who haven't needed to take an initiation.

If you're fumbling through this hallway, a tiny personball in the corner is sniffling and shaking.

Then, suddenly:]

I'm sorry! Rishid, I'm sorrrryyyyyyyyy!!!

Daddy, it was me! I ate the extra fruit! I blamed Rishid, but it was meeeeee.....

Just stop!!!!!!

-Mali??

[He swears he just heard her someone- But there's definitely a little boy stalling his search for light for a crying friend hunt!

(Even if it is hard to place direction with his backpack giving off whines.)]

Where are you?? [Stumble stumble wall grab.]

[tinythirdchild]

H-Hello?

[Her voice is wet and wavery, but strong. She sits up, rubbing her face to peer into the dark.]

I-I'm right here! I'll wave my hands around!

[Wave wave wave. Part of her wants to swallow her pride. But most of her is just sad. Why won't the awful voice stop?]

[rookiegamer]

Where?!

[Gah, he can't see! But, he did hear her voice pretty close by! So he follows the wall a little farther, a little more, a lil-

Hey, how pleasant, his hand finds what must be hair a split second after he dopped his face on the other wall of the corner!]

wuaah!

[ow ow ow- oh, please excuse the mumbling as he "looks" down. He's covering his nose.]

You're noff hur ur you??

[tinythirdchild]

[That sounded painful! She waves her hands around and hits shirt. There he is.

Her fingers clench into a fist around whatever he's wearing.]

Not like you.....make the voices stop.

Make them stop!

[They're saying she's a bad girl, after all. Which she isn't. Nope. Not her!]

[nanokaiser]

[Patu isn't hearing much today -- just a low buzzing noise with the occasional murmur thrown in. There isn't much he regrets yet.

So he hears Mali right away, and comes running.

Unfortunately, if he keeps going on this course, he's going to trip over her!]

[tinythirdchild]

[She looks up, happening to stretch her legs out at the worst possible moment.]

....hello?

[That certainly does sound like a damsel in distress. Perhaps closer than you think.

Oops?

At least you can't really knock her over much, she's in a corner...]

[nanokaiser]

[Running, running, running--]

Bwah!

[And he trips over her legs and goes smacking into the wall.

...Ow.]

[tinythirdchild]

[Well, that gets her to stop crying! She squeaks in shock instead.]

Ah!

Y-you okay?!

[Usually she doesn't care about other people.

She must like you!]
