First Rain

[bornacoward]

[it's a grey and hazy day; perfect for a light drizzle and even more perfect for a grey girl with an umbrella to be wandering around, being quiet and unobtrusive, but still watching things and trying to learn by observation. There's probably a fair bit of ivy growing around in random places too.

Finally, she might come up to you:]

Excuse me, do you know of any places to stay?

[techbane]

Well, there's this giant castle not too far away. You should totally go inside to explore it.

[bornacoward]

...


Do you think I could stay at the castle?

[techbane]

Oh yeah, definitely!

[bornacoward]

...It's probably dangerous then. I'll take care.

[techbane]

You do that!

[bornacoward]

[your enthusiasm scares me...]

Is it normally like that here?

[techbane]

Nah, it's not that bad at all. [pshhh not like she's even ever been in the castle]

[bornacoward]

That's not what I meant. Is everything so... carefree?

[techbane]

Uh, aside from the occasional explosions or murderous rampages by one of the residents, yep. Carefree.

[bornacoward]

...I see.

[techbane]

-It's not that bad! Honest!

[bornacoward]

I'm sure.

[techbane]

Yeah! You'd better be!

[bornacoward]

I am. Life isn't that fantastic.

[techbane]

Only to you because you're boring!

[bornacoward]

Whether I want it to be fantastical or not doesn't matter to the world. Even if it's desirable, that doesn't make it true.

[techbane]

... What?

[bornacoward]

...


Nevermind.

[techbane]

...... 'Kay.

[bornacoward]

Ah. I don't think I ever got your name...

[techbane]

M'Lily.

[bornacoward]

Then. It was a pleasure meeting you.

[techbane]

Uh, same I guess.

[bornacoward]

[welp. off she goes. now where's that castle]
