birdkiddie: (being kidnapped)
[personal profile] birdkiddie
[The camera doesn't show anything but blue for a moment, then you see the mansion from above and a flash of something that looks like a giant dove. The camera is high up in the air, and the direction is clear. It comes from up and is headed down ...just that there is something in the way. A head, to be exact. Blond curls. The journal bounces off it and falls deeper, passing the face of a little girl that is stuck somewhere between fear, confusion, alertness and tiredness. Her eyes are hollow and smudged with purple rings, and one whole side of her face is a single bruise. And then there is only white cloth and the view of the mansion as the journal falls further and rotates.

It falls, and falls, and then you there are suddenly fingers around it and it is turned around to face the child from before. All you can see the arms that are full of burn marks and little wounds where needles have been inserted into her arms. There also is something that looks like an IV on her arm. If you look closer, you will see white feathers behind her back. Or maybe on her back.

She silently examines the journal, the little face tense, and after a few moments she switches on the audio.]


Max. Gazzy. Fang, Iggy, Nudge. Are you here?

Jeb. Was that you?

[He blinks and opens the window. In case she wants to come in.]

Angel?

[Lands on the windowsill and folds her wings. From a frontal view, they can't be seen anymore now.]

You're Gokudera?

Come inside. You're gonna freeze.

[Slips from the sill and lightly lands on the ground, stepping away from Gokudera a bit to look at him. She shivers and wraps thin arms around herself, but also seems ready to run away every moment, and if it is out into the cold again.]

Why is it winter?

[He makes an abortive move to close the window, then changes his mind. It'll probably make her feel better to have a clear escape route. Instead he sits down on the piano bench and looks at her, chewing on his cigarette.]

It's January here.
From: [identity profile] talks-to-fish.livejournal.com
[She keeps standing where she is relaxing a bit. There seem to be no second thoughts, and especially not thoughts that a scientist would have.]

That means that we are on the northern half of the planet.

[Hemisphere just isn't something that a girl of her age would use normally, so she doesn't.]

[Action] - Sure thing!

[He watches her. Primarily, he's concerned about such a young kid being alone in the mansion. At least she can fly away if she's in trouble? But at the same time, the wings will attract a lot of attention, and not necessarily from good types of people. Which gets him thinking about Belphegor, because Bel messed around with Liechtenstein when they were both there.

Nothing pleasant to be thought of concerning Bel, obviously.]

I'm pretty sure this world isn't really a planet.

[Too small to be one, really, considering how short a distance you go before you loop back on your path. He understands the physics of it, more or less.]

From: [identity profile] talks-to-fish.livejournal.com
[The most confusing about this is that there appear no scientists in his thoughts at all. Nobody seems to have a plan for what they are doing.

And flying away if the sky is blocked? On the other side he's right about the attention.]

No, it is a place on Earth, not a planet itself...

[..is it? She lets her head fall forward a bit, blond, dull locks tumbling forward. If it is not, where is the flock?]

Could you find me a jacket? [She is still shivering from the cold, though her question isn't because of that, but that she needs it to hide the wings.]

[He shakes his head and wishes that this kind of thing was easier to explain.] It's not on earth. It's another place altogether.

[He takes off the zip-up sweatshirt he's wearing and offers it to her. There isn't a closet in this room and he doesn't want to take her out into the hall if she's still wary about this place.]

[grabs the sweatshirt, inspects it a bit and then it's around her and she pulls the zipper up. Her wings are about invisible now.]

Thank you.

From: [identity profile] hurricanebomber.livejournal.com
Yeah. No problem.

[He grinds his cigarette butt out in the ashtray next to him on the bench, wondering if he should ask one of the other kids to room with Angel so she's not by herself. He's also concerned about all the wounds he saw on her.]

Do you need someone to look at the burns and stuff on your arms?

[Looks down on them, only mildly concerned. Her DNA makes them heal much faster than they would for a normal human, and they didn't get infected yet, so they hardly will later on. But...]

Someone to take this [points at the IV-like thing] out.

We have rooms here?

[Action]

Date: 2010-01-17 08:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] hurricanebomber.livejournal.com
I can do it. [He gestures for her to come over to him.]

[And where'd that question come from?] Ah, yeah. We're all stuck here, and there are lots of rooms, so we just get comfortable.

[Walks over to him and holds her arm out, but watches him with distrust in her eyes.]

Which one is mine?

From: [identity profile] hurricanebomber.livejournal.com
[He takes her arm in one hand and gently pulls the IV-thing out with the other. He's got no bad intentions, and is just wondering what kind of world she must be from, that they do stuff like this to kids.]

Any one you want. There are more than there are people, so most of them are empty.

["Not to all kids" she wants to tell him, but then she doesn't. He wouldn't know why, and there is no reason to defend adults.

More importantly, too!]

Can one get teddies here? And stuffed cats and dogs and dolls?

From: [identity profile] hurricanebomber.livejournal.com
[He sets the IV-thing aside and lets go of her arm. The question makes him blink in surprise, and he thinks of the panda Hong Kong gave him.]

Uh, yeah, from the closets. Each room has one, and it'll give you what you need. You just have to think about it.

There is an interkom that you can ask for it?

[The picture in his mind just lacked the actual thing that you do to get the things. And the how you get them.]

From: [identity profile] hurricanebomber.livejournal.com
[He shakes his head.]

You just think of what you want and it appears. Uh...like magic, I guess.

From: [identity profile] talks-to-fish.livejournal.com
That sounds great!

[Whirls around, 100% excited 6-year-old that just got told that she can have everything in the world if she just asks for it. Dangerous mix, actually, or it would be in another world.]

Where is one?

[Action]

From: [identity profile] hurricanebomber.livejournal.com
[He smiles a little. The closet won't give her everything, but definitely more than one might expect.]

Want me to help you find a room?

From: [identity profile] talks-to-fish.livejournal.com

[Skips towards the door, waiting for him.]

[He gets up and follows her, missing Lambo, I-pin and Fuuta for perhaps the first time since he got to Wonderland. The kids were annoying as hell--especially Lambo--but he was used to them. They were family. He shakes his head a little and leaves the music room with her, going out into the hall.]

Um...maybe a room on one of the higher floors would be better.

[His reasoning is that the higher floors of the mansion have fewer people living on them. Which decreases the chance that she'll get hurt.]

[Action]

Date: 2010-01-18 08:30 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] talks-to-fish.livejournal.com
How many floors are there?

[Heading towards the stairs; high floors are good for starting. you need a few meters that you can fall to unfold your wings. And she'd like a place where she can be up in the air in no time. It's safer.

Ans then she turns around a bit, skipping back and slipping her hand into Gokudera's.]

Do you have family back home?

[Action]

Date: 2010-01-18 08:37 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] hurricanebomber.livejournal.com
Ten floors.

[He's surprised when she takes his hand, and he tightens his grip around hers reflexively as they head for the stairs.]

Yeah. [Of course, he has family here too, because family is a strange term for him. So his first thoughts are of Tsuna and Yamamoto, and Hibari and Ryohei secondarily--they come to mind before it occurs to him what she actually means, and then he thinks of his sister and his father and kind of vaguely of his mother, although he doesn't remember her easily.]

Do you?
