[Day 6] My Number's Up

Since kids were so much fun to play...and Treize, Trowa, Cathy, Pargan, Elva and Nurse Honey weren't enough characters to convince anyone their player was a complete fucktard, a new character was desperately needed and unnecessarily added. At least twenty minutes were spent selecting a name, but in the end the choice was obvious. The coolest names began with TR, and number names were de rigueur around here, so the mysterious little girl who just registered decided to call herself Trillion. She changed the spelling a bit for cosmetic reasons, but was otherwise good to go.

Originally she began life as a boy, but changed gender when the only boy avatars she could find were these:

The only questions remaining now were who her parents were, where she came from and what her personality was like. Judging by her clothes, she was probably an obnoxious little twit.

Trilyon wandered away from the bus stop onto campus one day, drawn by the sound of elephants trumpeting. Maybe this was a clown college! And clown colleges often had a circus nearby. Like any other 7 year-old, she loved circuses and elephants. Maybe someone around here could tell her where they were?

And maybe give her some parents. It occurred to her that her dark hair could have damned her to descent from Noin or Hilde, but let's not go there.

Sylvia Noventa had no idea what possessed her to name a child Trilyon, but clearly TR names, which were not in fashion, were clearly superior, so perhaps some other person who went by the fifth letter of the alphabet. Anyway, Sylvia's apparently transgendered baby was going to be obnoxious, so she was clearly tired, right? Oh, yes, she had a nanny, but not having nearly as much money as they Dermails, her nanny was more of a glorified babysitter: not working always, certainly not living with the family, and not nearly as good. However, as tired as Sylvia was from dealing with her obnoxious twit of a child, she was very worried at the moment.

Trilyon had wandered off. Sylvia was frantic, and she searched up and down the streets, looking for her child, calling out her name. She asked the police to help her, but whether they were helping her or were looking for a sexier crime to solve didn't matter as far as this post goes. Somehow, Sylvia had come to be on campus of ICUP. She called out Trilyon's name some more. She couldn't tell if just a few seconds or minutes passed, but all of a sudden, she had Trilyon in her sight. She ran up to her wayward child.

"Trilyon! Trilyon!" She hugged the girl as tightly as she dared, happy to have her back. "What were you thinking? What made you leave like that!? Did someone take you? Are you okay? Did anyone hurt you? What were you thinking?!"

That seemed like a good introductory post.

Oh, crap...Mommy found her. This probably meant there were no elephants in her future.

"I didn't do anything wrong! I was just going to Brazil. You got to, once."  Trilyon thought that was absolutely the bomb, hitchhiking around South America with a gundam pilot and gambling in a dernier cri  casino just like James Bond. Wicked cool!

"How come you never take me gambling, Mommy? I wanna go to a casino! You never let me do anything. I want a new mommy! One with lots of money and green hair and combat boots! I want a cool mommy! You're so lame! And how come I can't have a Playstation like everyone else? I want a rich daddy! Why can't we be rich, Mommy? Maybe if you dyed your hair green, we'd find a rich daddy. I want to dye my hair, Mommy. I wanna dye it purple! Can I dye my hair, Mommy? Rosalind Malley gets to dye her hair, so why can't I?"

Yes, I was right. She is  obnoxious.

"Is this a clown college, Mommy? Let's go inside! Maybe they have elephants in there. I heard some on the bus, Mommy. Maybe there's a circus here. Can we go to the circus, Mommy? Rosaline Malley gets to go to the circus. I want to go to the circus too. Maybe they have food at the circus. I'm really hungry! Aren't you hungry, Mommy? We should go to the circus and get some peanuts to feed the elephants. Oooh, look, Mommy! There's an elephant! A great big one! Let's go pet the elephant, Mommy!"

The little brat wriggled out of her mother's grasp and ran off toward the pachyderm on the quad. Oooh, there was another one. And as she got closer, yet another appeared, near the water. And another! There was a whole herd of them, assuming that half a dozen or so was a herd.

"Look, Mommy! They're dressed like elves! I want a elvish elephant, Mommy! Can we ride them? Look, they're so friendly! I can pet this one just like a great big dog! Can I ride it, Mommy? Rosalind Malley gets to ride elephants all the time. Make it get down, Mommy, so I can climb on its back!"

Who the hell is Rosalind Malley? thought Sylvia. Knowing Trilyon, it was just a name the girl made up in hopes of getting her way—an "imaginary" friend.

"You're much too young to go to Brazil, especially alone, and you're definitely too young for a casino. No one's dying their hair a color like that! We are rich, sweetie; you're just completely spoiled, and—come back here!"

Sylvia took off after her daughter and tried to remember why she didn't put the little brat darling up for adoption. She looked over at what had captured her child's attention. Oh, great, it really was a herd of elephants. Trilyon was going to be impossible now.

"These aren't our elephants, Trilyon. If the owner comes around, we can talk to him or her. Don't go near them!" She grabbed the girl's shoulder tightly, keeping her near. "You don't want to startle them and get squished. Yes, I know: they'll love you and not do that, but humor me, please?" She looked at the elephants more closely and wondered just what the hell was going on that they would be dressed like that.

"Come, sweetness, we are needed at home." They had to leave before the owner actually did show up!

Waaaaaah! Mommy never let her do anything! Mary Marbles got to invade the earth when she was only seven; how come Trilyon never got to do anything? Mothers sucked. One of these days she was going to run away from home and...oh, yeah. She'd tried that earlier today and that was how she'd wound up on the bus. Oh, well; at least she'd gotten an interesting bus adventure out of it.

"Fine. If we're so rich, then I want you to BUY me a elephant! One of those! Let's go find out who owns them so we can buy one, Mommy! I want that one with the glittery stuff on its head. And then I'm going to train it and I'm gonna join the circus! And you can't stop me, 'cause if you do I'll call those people at Child Protective Services again and tell them you tried to set me on fire!"

Actually, the odds those people would ever believe her again after what happened last time were pretty slim, but a kid had to work with whatever she could.

Oh, look! Some peanut people. Those two-legged thingies always had peanuts and popcorn on them, at least they did back at the circus, and that meant they did everywhere. If not, you could always pick them up by their limbs and shake them until they produced something you wanted, so Elva lumbered over to the two of them with big, heavy steps.

"Oh hai thar!" she trumpeted with her trunk, although the silly gits didn't seem to understand her perfectly enunciated articulations.  "Gimme some peanuts or I'll sit on you."

By strange coincidence, Cathy arrived at that moment to pull out some hay that was hidden in the bushes for the elephants to eat. Their supply was getting low, however. Trowa would have to go and get some more pretty soon.

Ah, a mother and daughter had found the pachyderms. Wasn't that sweet? Or maybe it wasn't. Maybe Whoopee was right and the elephants would give them all away, and they'd get in trouble and get lynched. She needed to divert the people's attention from the elephants somehow.

"Um...nothing to see here. Move along. Oooh, is that a rainbow?"  She pointed at the sky in the opposite direction of the elephants.  "Oh, it's a gundam!"

There, that should do it.

"Fine. If we're so rich, then I want you to BUY me a elephant! One of those! Let's go find out who owns them so we can buy one, Mommy!"

Sylvia silently prayed that whoever owned these elephants never, ever showed up. "We don't have room for an elephant, sweetie, and we're rich because we don't waste money on things like elephants! The horses are expensive enough! Animals need to eat, and the bigger the animal, the more it has to eat! And the more it poops."

"And then I'm going to train it and I'm gonna join the circus! And you can't stop me, 'cause if you do I'll call those people at Child Protective Services again and tell them you tried to set me on fire!"

Sylvia really wanted to say "go for it; let the circus people deal with you," but she was a better mother than that...just barely though. "The circus could be fun. I could see when you come into town, and we could have a coffee. Try not to get too cold in those drafty trailers with just a thin blanket for covering, darling."

The elephant moved, causing Sylvia to jump. Perhaps it was time for her and Trilyon to get out of here before they were stepped on or eaten by the elephants (link not found, but trust us, it happened). Before she acted, however, her prayers were denied, and a woman appeared out of nowhere and exclaimed,

"Um...nothing to see here. Move along. Oooh, is that a rainbow? Oh, it's a gundam!"

Sylvia raised an eyebrow at this crazy lady. It was peacetime. "I grew up on military bases. I know what mobile suits sound like," she assured the new woman. "Are...you the owner of these elephants? Do you at least know why they're dressed up like this? Is there a show going on somewhere?" She could at least get Trilyon a ticket to the circus.

"We don't have room for an elephant, sweetie, and we're rich because we don't waste money on things like elephants! The horses are expensive enough!"

"But horses are so lame! Especially ours. They don't dance or do tricks or anything. I'm gonna buy a whole circus, and the only horses that will be allowed are horses that can do tricks!"

Was Mommy even listening to her? She seemed to be spouting a bunch of nonsense, from what Trilyon could gather with one ear. She wasn't really paying much attention to Mommy either, since Mommy was using a lot of words that sounded like variations of 'no'.

"Animals need to eat, and the bigger the animal, the more it has to eat! And the more it poops."

Blah, blah, blah. Oh, look! Some woman was here to feed the elephants.  "Oooh, are these your elephants?"

"Um...what elephants? Oh, look! A fire-breathing dragon! You don't see many of those anymore now that they're all extinct."

What? Trilyon looked up, but couldn't see any fire-breathing dragons. She always missed everything! Somehow it was all Mommy's fault, but the details were kind of sketchy.

"Can we buy your elephants? I'm starting my own circus!"

"Oh, no! These aren't elephants, but if they were, they'd cost at least a gazillion pounds apiece. £1,000,000,000,000,000 plus VAT. If you're interested in the circus, I have some free passes...but only for really good little girls who can keep a secret about elephants on campus. If anyone finds out they're here, they'll be lynched! You don't want that to happen, do you?"

"I can keep a secret! No, really. I won't tell ANYbody. Cross my heart and hope to die!"

"Okay, here are some free tickets for you."  Cathy pulled out a bunch of tickets from somewhere on her person. Honestly, circus people always had free tickets hidden on them in mysterious places. Just try and find some on the very next clown you meet.

"Look, Mommy! Tickets! Now take me to the circus!"

"Are...you the owner of these elephants? Do you at least know why they're dressed up like this? Is there a show going on somewhere?"

"Um...they...erm...always dress like this. Yes. It protects them from drying out when they don't have a watering hole. And the circus is in the colonies right now."  Wasn't that where they were? Cathy would have to check the schedule again, but in any event they certainly weren't on campus. Only the usual circus that went on around here with the g-boys.  "But the moment they come to town, you'll have front row seats!" 

Or seats behind a pole way in the back. This kid would probably lose the tickets before the show ever came to town, so it didn't matter what Cathy promised them. All she wanted was to feed her pachyderms and hide them in a better place. Maybe it would be a good idea to sneak them into the empty dorms after all?
