Is That You? [Bob Sensai/Angel]

[Drake Mitibuki]

The sunlight beamed down as a very unlucky individual awoke for his first time in this new body. In this new life, he breathed his very first breathe of air. Without a thought his eyes opened to take in his immediate surroundings, "So I died huh?" Iracaj uttered to himself silently. There laid on a dirt road, no...his mistake. Everywhere was dirt, it seemed as if he was in a village of some sort. The buildings mostly run down with a lot of parental deprived children running amok. The area seemed in need of a good cleaning, one he lacked the knowledge and willpower to do. In any case he closed his eyes, he just wanted to sit here and die....Again.

Caw Caw!

The sounds of birds passing by overhead, thoughts of his death filled his head. Was he truly dead? Had his life really ended. He couldn't believe it, then he realized. Rather an epiphany overcame him. He had cracked a mirror 6 months and 363 days ago..Sorry 6 months and 364 days ago, yesterday. So today was his day to die and he did. Not only that but he remembered stepping on countless cracks and passing numerous black cats in dark alleys in his life. The many times he spilled salt and never threw pepper of his shoulder and all the times he walked under a ladder it was time for him to pay those consequences.

He guessed that it was right about his time. Karma had set in for him and it was here to claim him nonetheless. With a life full of bad luck it was only a matt-..."Mibs?"

Iracaj's eyes opened slowly, his vision was blurry and staggered. It seemed his perception of time had left him, he thought he had only had his eyes closed for a few moments when in all actuality it must of been hours, at least. When he finally regained usual eyesight he was looking at a more darkened world. The road still dirt, the buildings still run down, but the sun had lowered itself and the moon begun to claim it's reign. The clouds settled in and the dimness of the sun created an evening appearance, like that of when he was alive. Since he was dead...

Right?

His attention finally turned, hoping to catch that existence that caused his eyes to open, for his mind to refocus itself. For him to re-realize he had died. Though when he looked to his right, where the sound had come from, nothing was there. Only empty space and dirt.

"Mibs" There it went again, now from the left. His head finally turned, lacking the will to conjure up curiosity. As his head finally made that simple turn and his eyes adjusted themselves to allow the supernatural to cross it's close-minded filters. There Iracaj was looking at a small black entity. Itself only existing and nothing more. This would of ordinarily spooked Iracaj, freaked him out but at the moment he was lost. Lost himself, in his death. It was normal that people be burdened with the loss of a purpose once they died....

Right?

"What....What are you?" Iracaj asked, no other question seemed to fit, and if they did it was too late, those words already left his mouth. The small black entity seemed to be growing. From 1 feet to now a relatively larger 2 feet. What was making him grow you say? Well a dark, blackish purple aura was filling the small entity and giving him shape and form. Soon the black fiend was standing at 2 feet, his body bubbly with a pudgy appearance to it. It had long curvy ears protruding from its round black head and long curvy feet coming from it's short black legs which were attached to its small round body. Short stubby arms were also in place but were less noticeable, what overshadowed them were small sharp fingers that came from the hands.

This almost had Iracaj fretting for his life. Sadly he hadn't one. "Mibs Mibs..Miiiibs" The being said, even though he only spoke this one word Iracaj could just feel what the being was saying, what he meant and the point he was trying to relay. Iracaj yielded to this plea, to this command of 'get up get up'. Slowly Iracaj helped himself up to his feet. His fingers gripping dirt and his legs wobbly and weak. Finally he stood, he was light headed and his body felt heavy and light at the same time. Like he'd float off into the air if he didn't concentrate on staying on the ground, but heavy in the sense that if he walked he'd sank into the ground. Such feeling consumed him and made it hard for him to move on. "Mibs mibs mibs!!!" The being yelled, moving to Iracaj's head, small theatrical sounds escaped the being every time it's stubby little legs motioned forward to him. Finally he made it, hugging Iracaj's leg he climbed up him, using his sharp claws to dig into Iracaj's clothing and climb the living tower. Soon he was comfortably laying atop Iracaj's spiky orange hair. With a small excursion of air the young being claimed it's home, and it's friend. Iracaj couldn't help but to crack a smile.

Moving forward with staggered strides he motioned into town, with this phenomenon on it's head. He said, "Im gonna' call you Mibs." The young entity shouted with various cries of the variation of the word 'Mibs'. That was the start, where and when would it end?

[Tony Redgrave]

What was it that drives people to live out their lives? It is a question that no one really has an answer too and for good reason. Anyone who draws breath has a one point or another, taken time to ask themselves "What is the point of all of this? Why am I alive? What is it that I must do in my time here?" People have asked, and they have received answers. Some say people are simply driven to breed, some say there is a higher calling awaiting from an entity more important then any of us, and some even say that life in general has no point and people simply strive to make a reason to stick around.

Oho.. but that's not quite it. There was a more simple reason so one young lad thought. There is something that drives us all but.. what is it?

Ambition!

Oh yes, That is it for sure! Everyone has it, no matter how little or how small and it pushes people to do many things. Ambition to leave your seed for the next generation and live on through that, to do well what you can do well and even the drive to discover new things and experience them first hand. That was Nouri's answer and what his life was all about. Not too long ago, he set out simply to travel to all the places he could on foot and make a name for himself as "The King of Bandits." Why? well.. why not? As a Rogue and a human being, its only natural to seek the greatest heights and that.. was pretty high.

With a napsack over the shoulder and only his drive to keep him going, he walked and trotted along until finally, he set foot in a small, downtrodden town quite a ways out of his own town. Of all the places to start an adventure, this wasn't what he had in mind. He was actually going to spend one of his first evenings away in a place with no actual footing. There was nothing but patches of dirt wherever he looked and dirty little children moving about with not a single adult in site.

How sad.. even the buildings themselves appeared to be falling apart.

Well, it was better then nothing. There had to be some place he could stay the night and perhaps a few people he could help out too! But, it occurred to him that he had no idea what this place was called. No sign or anything to let him know and it seemed that asking the children would be a bit.. odd. Casting all of that aside, he simply moved forward into town, searching for someone or something that could help.

"Let's go out on the town. It's just gloomy being by yourself.
You get caught in an endless loop of depression
which troubles you, ah all the more.
Let's fly outside. There's no need to worry.
The earth has been spinning since long, long ago.
And I'm sure the moon will keep spinning too.

Brand-New Love Song~ Halle, hallelujah!
Everyone, let's just go wild and love each other!
Simple routine, routine feelings..
There will always be something
you have to protect.

Looking out over the city... it's like everything is a gateway to the future!
Let's search out under cover.
This world is a treasure island.
Let's take off together, let's do something fun.
The nights have been ending and the sun has been rising ever since long, long ago
The sun will definitely shine down.

Groovy Love Song! Halle, hallelujah!
Let's forget the bad things and just love each other.
Sympathetic status quo, firm friendshi.
There will always be times,
when you will have to move.

Dancing in the street,
Grooving to the light through the night!

Brand-New Love Song Halle, hallelujah!
Everyone, let's just go wild and love each other
Groovy Love Song Halle, hallelujah!
Let's forget the bad things and just love each other.
Brand-New Love Song Halle, hallelujah!
Let's dance for tomorrow~
Groovy Love Song Halle, hallelujah!
There will always be times
when you will have to move.

Let's be kind to each other.
Let's be accepting...
Let's be kind to each other.
Let's be accepting...
Let's be kind to each other."

Those were the meanings behind the words the girl skipping across this place, that most would consider death, was singing. Despite the fact that she was surrounded by such lack of color, this girl seemed animated by life itself. She was.. a cute lil' chubby girl. Not to say she was fat by any means, but she was definitely full of life and with a cute tummy to show it. More snuggly would be the word Angel would use, and it was the way she preferred herself. She was wearing a bright white sun-dress that seemed to sparkle and glitter with all the colors of the rainbow and then some, as well.. which only made her look more fantastic. It looked adorable around her cute, slightly plump body, and it swayed in the makeshift breeze she created with her steps. Though it was obvious to most that death seemed to threaten every little bit of this place with further decline, this girl obviously never got the memo.

Her name was Angel, and she still had love to give.

Every step this young, mid-teen aged girl took was so full of life that it seemed to inspire the patch of dust she walked on to try to be full of life itself. For a few moments before it was swallowed by the death again, color seemed to almost return to it by magic. She walked into the town still halfway into her musical number and it was obvious that the children had never heard anything like this before. Attention was all on her instantly. The older ones, affected by the death that consumed even their hearts.. only sat and watched her with slight interest. It was the younger ones that were more interested in this girl who had still not opened her eyes to great her new visit. A few of them giggled at the silly looking girl, a few of them just pointed and slightly hopped up and down trying to get their friends to notice her, and a few of them where young enough and just daring enough to skip along with her, trying to match her (unknown to her) Japanese-Earth words.

She felt their life and wanted them to keep having fun, so even when she finished the song, she started repeating the chorus a few times to keep them happy and singing, never slowing her skipping pace. Hearing a few of the children go, "Brand New Love Song, Halle, Hallelujah!" was so adorable to her that she never wanted to stop. The kids started giggling when Angel threw in her own words at random like, "Froggy Squishy Song, Halle, Hallelujah!" but that made her want to do it all the more. The kids hadn't been around this kind of life and happiness in some time, and despite the death and sadness that touched their everyday life.. this bit of life was still contagious.

Even the older kids started to take notice and join in on the song, and people started taking turns deciding what kinda song they were signing. Soon, the air that only a few minutes ago was full of quiet depression was now filled with love and laughter.. and there was nothing that would make this squishy-hearted girl any happier.

The part started broke out of an alley and ended up in front of the dashing young bandit that had just walked into town suddenly and Angel only narrowly avoided skipping right into a headon collision. If she hadn't been able to feel out his life, she would have.. and she noted that he felt super-special from everyone else.. all the kids that she had run into now. All this while not even opening her eyes once. Though, her luck was finally running a bit low and even though one of the older kids tried to get her attention before-hand, screaming "Watch out for tha--" her mind didn't register it as different from the song and it was too late anyway. With a sad little bumb, this blonde haired cutie rammed herself right into a what remained of a building. Falling right on her squishy tushie.. her big blue eyes opened for the first time, only to be moved into the most adorably pitiful expression, her mouth trembling and her pearly whites giving out big crocodile tears. "Angel hurt her nosey!!..." she wailed a bit, even in her sadness.. though, she was full of life, and completely her own. She rubbed her nose and sniffled a bit as some of the older kids started to giggle and the little one's comforted their songstress. Such an introduction, such a first meeting. Always up to her own caliber she was, always larger-than-life because of how much she just let it in.

[Drake Mitibuki]

A sighed introduced him and the village welcomed him. Looking around it seemed the village welcomed just about anyone and everything. It seemed to be a town of misfits. Iracaj would make a nice little addition to their roster. "Miiiiibs." Mibs said lowering it's head and almost taking its body with it. Iracaj threw his hand up instinctively, palming Mibs round head and lifting it back up to it's former position. "You shouldn't-.."

"Brand New Love Song, Halle, Hallelujah!"

"Hmph?" Iracaj's head picked it from it's former slightly lowered position. His next straightening and turning toward the sound of gathering children? A bit of life filled the area, some uplifting tunes danced along the town as Iracaj was walking up the street. He continued to looked forward as the sound was coming from the right, where the two town streets intersected.

".....Huh?" He said under his breathe, Mibs bouncing it's head side to side in tune to the beat. "Mibs mibs mibs mibs mibs." It sang, squinting it's eyes and curving it's mouth forming a smile. Seconds later a group of children, younger an older danced along the street. They finally passed that point where Iracaj could see the group. He still felt a bit light headed but he could better than before and it seemed like...

A young girl was leading them?

"Froggy Squishy Song, Halle, Hallelujah!"

Iracaj couldn't help but crack a smile, somehow the girls performance filled him with a bit more life than he had. It felt...good. Mibs jumped off Iracaj's shoulders and landed in front of him. He started wobbling his way over to the group in attempt to join in on their fun. Iracaj quickly moved forward, putting his foot in front of Mib's path in order to stop them.

He didn't know why, he just moved. A safety precaution maybe?

Iracaj continued to watched, his body had long been stopped moving as his attention was captured. How did this exactly come about? To his surprise the girl was walking happily with her eyes closed. It was odd, especially since directly before her was a taller man, much older indeed. Iracaj had a first instinct to tell her to watch out, but...he didn't have that much life within him. He was still going through this rebirth phase, as unfortunate as that sounds.

"Mi-" Mibs was about to say until she barely dodged the man, curving around him and continuing her way into a..."Mibs!!!!!"

"............Angel hurt her nosey!!..."

Wall.

Mibs quickly motioned around Iracaj's leg and she ran toward the young girl who was wailing a bit. Mibs made it over there just in time for her to rub her eyes. Mib's only 2ft himself, having a bubbly pudgy black figure. Small black legs with curvy feet, small black arms with curvy fingers, and a round black head with small curvy ears and white eyes. He looked like a black bunny. "Mibs?" He said, cocking his head to the side standing in front of Angel

[Tony Redgrave]

This new location seemed so dark and brooding to the young thief in yellow and yet, it reminded of something he often heard from own master,

"Every new place always has something worth looking into. Treat all places as if their is treasure hidden and you will surely find it."

Hopefully so. Treasure was after all at the top of his "Neat things I should nab" list. So just where would a super cool rogue need to start to get on the way to shiny things? In his stupor, Nouri had stopped right in his tracks and began to ponder this thought as if nothing else truly mattered. Of course, as usual he had no idea.. sob.

But that was quite well and fine. For in place of an answer, there came children. Yes, children and a jolly little lot of them at that. They looked so cute and charming with their little giggles and laughs and chitter chatter. It was all happy happy and much joy joy from what he could see and though it was faint, he could feel it too.

A bit of warm bubbling up right in his chest and not even acid reflux. Oh gosh, it was embarrassing and yet, so weird. As he looked about, he noticed everyone seemed to be hit with an even greater feeling then he felt. People had suddenly come into view and they were laughing and joking with each other right in the middle of the squallier they were living within. It was a completely different atmosphere from what he had felt when he first came.

His observations led him to completely miss all that had happened in between.. from small child who had barely missed him, the yelling in between and her tiny yet profound slam into the building not too far away. His thoughts were soon broken by cries and sniffles and the words..

Angel hurt her nosey!!

"Ara..? nosey? I'm not nosey!"[/b][/color] Nouri instinctly yelled for.. well no reason. No sir, he wasn't this nosey thing but that cry was just behind his back. This prompted him to quickly turn about and face who it was that yelled such a thing. But as he did, he saw something just... completely weird!

A small militia of children crowded around a small chubby little rascal in sun dress and some.. black bunny looking thing with glowing yellow eyes, a round and stout figure, small limbs with curvy appendages, and what seemed to be a quizzical look on its face. Hm.. wait a second. This girl hurt her nosey and this creature is in front of her. Could it have hurt her? Nah, it didn't seem like it. The kids weren't running about in fear or trying to beat it up. Well whatever it was, it could wait. The girl was hurt and it was time to help.. so he guessed.

"Oi!" he shouted out from the back, waving his hands so they could notice him though it wasn't like they could really miss him "Sorry to dash in on your fun but does that girl need to get her nosey fixed up nice and dapper like?" But what about the little black monster?? Would he just ignore it? Maybe. In cases like this, he honestly just blocked out outside things until he needed to address them. Even the appearance of a potentially dangerous entity really didn't phase him.. nope, not at all.[/size]

[Angel]

Angel was still in pain and rubbing her nose, tears dripping down. For this apparent 15 year old girl, every little bump was a really big deal. She was short, sweet, and a bit of a weakling though so it seemed that she fit more along with children and was taken as one of them by most of the people around. Not that this bothered her, and only her breasts would be able to say otherwise. When the black thingy and the older guy came up to her, she was rather traumatized by the fall still and certainly wanted help. She was fascinated with the creature she had never seen before, but since her memory went bai-bai sometime ago she didn't know what was strange and what wasn't.. so it didn't register as something she should be nervous around. It was pretty cute too, anyway.

"Are you okay?" it said to her, and she felt a bit better. It was really nice to have someone care about her. She nodded softly and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.. though it wasn't exactly working.

When the older guy came up, she stood up shakily and ran up to him. Grabbing him as tight as she could with her weak body, she buried her head in his clothing and used it for comfort. She held on tightly, letting all the sadness and hurt wash away with having direct contact with another person. Nothing was more important to this girl, nothing as therapeutic. Being so close to someone else made her feel safe, open, and happy. She did it for a few minutes before sticking her head to side and looking around again at all the other kids that cared about her. "Angel feel's... better.. now." she said, sounding like she was having trouble speaking. They smiled and stopped crowing around, obviously pleased enough to go back to what they were doing.

A few things were noteworthy now. One, this close to Angel, both Mibs and Nouri would be in full burst of her powerfully sweet smell. It wasn't enough to cough at, but wasn't enough to ignore. This scent was special in the way that it made it tried to force and emotional bond with Angel quickly. Within a few posts of standing so close to her.. unless they had some sort of bizarre control over their mind and body, they would start gaining a emotional attachment to Angel. She wasn't aware of this though, and she would be sad if she was. She didn't say anything else and just continued to cling to Nouri, feeling his hand in hers (she had started playing with it while she was hugging him.

[Drake Mitibuki]

OOC: Bad post sorry.

Iracaj smirked, smiled. Not at the fact that the girl had harmed herself or that she begun to cry but at the joy Mibs seemed to be in. Through Mibs Iracaj was able to enjoy things he wouldn't let himself enjoy. Iracaj wouldn't let himself dance, sing, play...It just wasn't him. He would of love too but when it came down to it, his body wouldn't react in that way. Though looking at Mibs, seeing him pitter patter over to the little girl and comfort her it felt good. Surprisingly.

"Mibs...Always running to help everyone...even strangers.." Iracaj thought. He took a step forward and then saw a man in a large yellow trench coat approach. A feeling overcame him, he was ghastly protective over his little black friend. He didn't know the mans purpose nor of his personality whether he was intent to hurt the girl or Mibs Iracaj didn't know. So, he moved. Quite fast at that. He hurried up and made his way to the three of them.

Mibs smiled as he was overtaken by Angels lovely aura. It was all the little one wanted. To play and to be happy and this aura let him do so fully. Even if he wasn't under the influence he would of still did what he did. "Mibs mibs mibs!!" Mibs jumped up and down with it's eyes shut tight as it yelled out hearing Angel was ok. He quickly dived and hugged Angels legs. At 2ft tall, Angel might of been small but Mibs was still able to leg hug. His favorite hobby. Mibs followed Angel's movement and stuck his head out as well looking at the little kids and then turned and looked at the man in yellow.

Giant.

Mibs begun to cry, the man was large relatively speaking. He was in all yellow and even more frightening he was touching Angel. Like a big baby Mibs cried and hugged tight on Angels leg and clothing as if hiding from the man in yellow.

Iracaj quickly approached them from his far away position, he wasn't too far off maybe 6ft give or take a few inches. He didn't know what was going on but Mibs was crying so there must of been a problem.

[Drake Mitibuki]

Thread closed/Ended. Angels character has changed. EXP Plox.

[SLE]

That's not gonna cut it, end the thread with an ending, or else it doesn't count toward EXP. Doesn't take much, you can just BS some stuff about everyone parting ways.

[Drake Mitibuki]

I don't control others characters without permission. That'll be a form of godmodding.

[Tony Redgrave]

Agreed Drake and with the conditions of how the rp went, (since there is no way we actually.. part ways in a manner that makes sense) its best that we leave it as such SLE. We are going to try again in the future so lets just leave it at that.
