Déjà vu this wall.

This has happened before. I'm sure a it. I don't really remember it, but it happened... all the weird people... Hell, if you can't beat 'em.

Who wants pizza!?

[People can come by Azzip for pizza. Duo's frantically trying to make enough for everyone.]

Yeah, it'd be nice, but I think people just drop outta the sky. Think that's how I ended up in a tree when they returned me once.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Returned you once?

[colony_brat]

From a kidnapping. They worked me over and dropped me in a tree.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

What did they do?

[colony_brat]

Oh um... I've been drugged outta my mind. Had 'em test the fire magic I learned here 'til I burned myself. Been starved. Let 'em break my hands. Made me watch 'em torture a friend a mine. Stuff like that. You don't really wanna hear the details. [Duo's trying to sound like it's no big deal and he's trying to protect the pretty girl from the gruesome details.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

They think they can do those things to us?

[colony_brat]

Apparently so and they can 'cause they do. 's not like I let 'em. Okay, the hands thing I told 'em ta do ta me 'cause I couldn't let them do it ta Hijiri, but the rest I was fighting. Okay, the food thing too 'cause they were supposed ta give it ta Hijiri. Still, I wasn't kidnapped willingly.

[She still half suspects a certain person from her world is responsible for her being here. She has a few choice words for him after hearing this.]

Sounds pretty bad.

[Is she actually still smiling a little as she says that?]

[colony_brat]

[Yeah, that's just creepy. Duo's not going to show it though because it has to be something as silly as... she's trying to make him feel better. Or she's impressed he survived or something...]

Yeah, they're real bastards. Er. Sorry. Shouldn't curse 'round nice girls. Anyway, don't let 'em kidnap you. If ya stay with people, you have a better chance.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I'm used to being alone.

[colony_brat]

Aw, pretty sweet girl like you shouldn't be alone all the time. Thought ya said you were friends with Usgai. She's really sweet too and can eat as much as I can. You spend time with her, right?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

She has other things to do.

[colony_brat]

... Really? What's she doin' around here that she's too busy for friends?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Who knows? She was always like that.

[colony_brat]

What? Too busy for friends? Well that really doesn't make sense here since there's not a lot ta do. I opened Azzip ta keep myself busy. Wonder what she does all day... I'd make time ta hang out with you.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

You don't even know me, right?

[colony_brat]

Nope! But I'm makin' time ta eat pizza with you right now~

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

You don't need to force yourself.

[colony_brat]

I'm not forcin' myself! I like eatin' with pretty girls. Like it when they tell me more 'bout themselves too.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I was in second-year of Junior High.

[colony_brat]

[Duo frowns for a moment, trying to figure out about how old that would make her.] I know a guy's not s'pposed ta ask a girl how old she is, but you're too young and pretta ta be upset. That'd make ya 'bout fourteen?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Mm. [There's a quick nod with the affirmative sound]

[colony_brat]

Not much younger than me then, give or take a little. So what's a fourteen year old, second year junior high student do in her free time when she's not kidnapped and held captive for experiments?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Karaoke, maybe.

[Wut? Yes, this one's a lot more outgoing. She did enjoy it before, but not quite so... publicly]

[colony_brat]

Maybe? Not somethin' ya like every night, but maybe on a weekend with some friends? Seems like fun...

[Duo turns to look at the tiny stage be built for Hijiri to play on.] Wonder if we could do karaoke here... more like an amateur night since we don't have the tech or music, but close 'nough.
