rebellion monologue 1 But that was a bit away, at least a block off. Closer, Sophia would find herself in a dingy alleyway, propped against the wall of a building. How did she get here? What time was it? It was obviously later than when any student should be awake, much less off the campus. Wasn't she in her dorm, holding respite? How did she ended up in some alleyway downtown? Well, whether she remembered or not was up to her, because something else would then steal her attention. Voices. They were closer than the sounds of laughter and drunkenness from beyond the alleyway. Off to the side, congregated. And from the sound of it, more than one. She couldn't quite make out what they were saying, but judging by their tone, it would seem like something excitable, yet a bit threatening. If she turned her head, she would see forms of all different shapes and sizes, though they all looked human in shape. One of those shapes, a short one, turned to face Sophia. As she did, what meager light that entered the street illuminated her face.
Behind her, the circle of people continued their conversation in hushed voices, a sense of urgency present in their tone. Though, as Sophia's awareness began to return, like waking from an heavy slumber, their words began to clear. "...can't be good. There's-" "SO much blood!" "Don't say something like that with that smile." "Where is he? Is he coming?" "He's on his way." A sharp click, like a lock clicking together. "So is the ambulance." Shuffle of cloth. "I don't think he'll make it in time though. We'll have to think of something." It seemed like there was some kind of accident, and somebody was injured. And judging by the sound of their voices, it was dire. However, if Sophia tried to move at all, she would find Valerie in her way, keeping her in place with surprising strength. "Don't even think about it," Valerie whispered commandingly at Sophia. "You're nearing your limit too." Though Sophia wasn't injured, it was probably true that she was nearing her limit. Valerie just wanted to make sure they wouldn't have to worry about another casualty. Of course, if Sophia so wished, she could probably overpower the small girl...
"I'm trying...! But, his whole arm it's... gone! I don't know where its all coming from!" One of the chorus replied, a husky, deep baritone. "That thing's not normal. We should cut it off." A higher one, female. But an amalgamation of darkness, excited coolness yet controlled and disciplined. "No! This isn't the time for your jokes!" Valerie made a small sound, part annoyance and part anger. By now, Sophia's vision would've probably adjusted to the darkness. Off to the side, behind Valerie, she would see what looked like two men, one much bigger than the other, and a woman with long hair. The big man and woman were kneeling over, their attention focused with something on the ground, whilst the other stood a short distance away. And then, Sophia would be able to detect a pungent scent. Though the alleyway had its fill of filth and waste, this scent stood out from the rest. It was everywhere. Streams covered what little of the ground illuminated by the moon or stray city lights. What she had thought was dirt, wasn't. The thing untangled upon Valerie's fingers, hairs and clothes, and presumably even her own. It was the iron smell of blood. |

“Ugh…. I… wha…” Sophia awoke as if from a cryogenic sleep. Her vision was dim and all she heard was a mass of random noises surrounding her. Shortly after she realized that it wasn’t her vision that was dim, rather it was night time in… Hyakuji? So she was back now… She sat up and held her palm up to her head, trying to ease a throbbing headache. It was then that she realized the random noises around here weren’t actually that… they were voices. Sophia stood up as quickly as her aching body would allow and tried to focus on the people surrounding her. She saw many figures, but none she could identify, let alone recognize, until… “Val… I see you made it too.” The Valkyrie gave the Reaper a small smile, but it soon faded away as she caught bits and pieces of the conversations around her, and smelled a very familiar scent. Blood… “Val… What happened here? Who are all these people…? And who’s that…?” Sophia gestured at the person(?) lying in the pool of blood that was everywhere. Looks like she won’t be able to rest just yet… |

As if on cue, heavy footsteps approached the duo. The steps were like thunder, its echo booming over the splashing as the sole stepped over blood. The figure came closer, the big one, and it took no genius to see that it was the propagator of the steps. Each step took it closer, before the figure stood before Sophia, illuminated by the moon.
"The ambulance won't be here for at least another ten minutes," a voice reached in from further down the alley. "Yoshino might be faster, but there isn't much he could do to help anyways." A shuffle of clothe, as the still unknown individual of the group presumably shrugged. "So, what now?" For dealing with a critically injured individual, on the verge of dying, two of this group seemed oddly nonchalant. |

“Step back.” Sophia’s voice cut through the people huddled around the fallen man and she knelt down next to the body. His heart may have stopped, but there’s still some time before it was too late. Even if she wasn’t a doctor there was still something she could do to try and save the man’s life. The question is... should he be saved? She didn’t see anyone else near the portal before they stepped through, so this man probably wasn’t in the same realm as them. Besides, his intentions were unclear, and he could very well be an enemy… No, a life was at stake here, and Sophia wasn’t one to let someone die just because they might be an enemy. Placing her hand over his heart she began whispering in a melodic chant, calling upon Eir to give her strength. Her hand glowed with a soft white light, which then expanded to encompass the man’s chest. There wasn’t anything the Valkyrie could do about his arm, but hopefully her magic was enough to restart his heart and save his life. |

As Sophia began to walk, she would realize that a sloshing sound would erupt from the floor with every step. Though it wasn't particularly hard to walk through, the liquid would stain up to her ankle. Sophia's training would tell her that that was a lot of blood for one person to lose. And it would be even more dramatic when Sophia would come upon the corpse. The figure seemed male, slim build, but beyond that it was hard to tell. It wore casual slacks, and dress shoes, though a ragged hoodie covered any other part that might give away his identity. Even the color of his hair was hidden, under the stained white clothe and the lack of lighting in the dingy alley. However, what the garment did not hide, was the red. The overflowing, prevalent redness. It would only take a moment to see where it was deepest, darkest. The source of root. What the big man had said was correct, the wound was situated on the boy's left arm. But just what kind of wound it was was unclear. The dispersion of blood was entirely even along the limb, as if every one of his pores leaked blood. As if his body, at least that one part, had decided to stop living. And die. It sounded impossible, but...
And what Ren said seemed true; Sophia's healing had about as much effect as if she had tried to heal a pot or a kettle. Or a doll. A broken toy. There was no reaction, aside from the draining feeling of fatigue as she exerted herself. For even with "Magic", no one could return life. "Just give up." "Ren!" "Can we chop it off then? It's really bugging me." "Quiet." Edited by Fallen_shinku, Apr 25 2014, 12:42 PM.

She should have known it was too late, all that blood should have been a good enough indication that the man was already dead, but Sophia thought that just maybe she could have made a difference. Maybe if she could use Sanctuarium Angelus he might have been brought back, but alas she had already used it on Rayne. She sighed there was nothing she can do now, and she knew it. Such was the consequences of flaunting her powers, worst part is the people she had saved back in the wastelands were probably all dead by Mara’s hand. The Valkyrie stood as the voice of a man chastised her for her efforts. “It is better to try and fail than to do nothing at all. I didn’t see you try to help him, and you were here while he was still alive.” Sophia gave him a sharp glare before returning her attention to Val. “What will you do now? Judging from all these people it desn’t look like your task is done just yet.” |

However, then, something happened. Something that shouldn't have, or have any reason to. Without a cause, a spontaneous rupture of phenomenon. Though none there would notice it at the time, something extremely miraculous was about to happen. Something that will hold them all in bewilderment, and then be forgotten within the day. Some would call it a mystery, but it was more than that. It was a miracle. Magic. However, it was actually a mistake. The world had made a blunder.
"...Where did you find that thing?" Valerie hesitated, unsure just how to react to Akira suddenly pulling a box out of nowhere. "That boy was holding onto it like some precious thing, until Headband plucked him off," Akira spoke matter-of-factly. "I wonder what could be inside...?~" "Don't be so nosy. Just bring it along." Whatever it was, it was probably important to the victim if he didn't want to let it go, even when upon death's door. Now that he might recover, Valerie didn't need someone accusing them of thievery. "As you will it, Princess~" Akira laughed jokingly, before sprinting off. Unlike Masato, her steps were near silent, evading every drop of blood on her exit. And, to Sophia's surprise, she would see not a single stain on her.
And now, there were just two. Silence filled the alleyway, as their voices were only replaced by the sounds of far off urban life and their breaths. The occasional cry and beeping horn could also be heard, as the others tried to bring that boy to the hospital. Masato, with the boy over his shoulder. Akira, deftly behind him, that black box in hand. And Ren, keeping silent vigil at the back. These four, they seemed incredibly close, like friends that had been together for years. But yet, the image of Valerie lying to Masato would crop up. Despite how close they were, they were still oddly distant.
She could just turn around and leave, discarding everything that happened as a dream and return to her "not-so-normal" high school life at Hyakuji. Back to her dorm, go to sleep, and start a new day, leaving all these events as a faint memory? That hooded man, Adour, that mysterious mage with the heterochromatic eyes, the soul consumed by Lorelei, Marian? What did they seek? And what about Edda? After what happened to her world, would she just let things stand? And what about Rayne, the demented girl chained in the ivory tower? Larue, Caleb, that hunter, Valerie, Masato, Akira, Ren: how did they all get pulled into this? Like puppets taunt with strings, they all danced on a stage. But for who? For what? All these questioned were still unanswered; still disconnected. If Sophia sought to connect them, to see the whole picture, she wouldn't be able to just walk away. However, if she were to turn her back, all these dots would fade, like forgotten stars, becoming an untold story. What was the right thing to do? Would she push forward into this night? The girl waited for Sophia to speak, her eyes nonjudgmental. Edited by Fallen_shinku, Apr 27 2014, 11:50 PM.

“It’s alright. They don’t really seem like bad people… I think.” As odd as this group of people was, they were alright in Sophia’s books, especially the one called Masato. The headband sporting man had been quick to help the not-quite-dead victim, which made her more inclined to trust him. Ren however… well, liking everyone was nigh impossible anyways, she wasn’t too concerned. The Valkyrie looked off towards the direction where the group had disappeared to as Val asked her question, giving a soft laugh. “I don’t know Val, what am I supposed to do?” She returned her attention to the Reaper. “Am I supposed to just forget everything that happened? Pretend it was a dream? I can’t do that, it concerns Evray, my friend.” Then was she asking to join them in their quest? “If your goals involve helping him I will lend my aid. So tell me, Reaper.” Sophia regressed to calling Val by that name, showing her that she didn’t forget what she was. “What exactly are you and your ragtag band trying to accomplish here?” |

As the two stepped onto the street, they could be thankful that no one was near. Seeing two school-aged girls step out of a bloody alleyway was bound to cause trouble. "You know, you and I are kind of similar. I can't let this stand either," Valerie spoke casually, as she led the Valkyrie down the street. She then abruptly stopped, her eyes set forward, as if in a daze. Something was troubling the young girl's mind, a predicament of sorts.

“… Is that so? Well… I’ll believe you then.” It was hard for Sophia to just accept that they’re not trying to accomplish anything in particular, especially after what she had experienced with Val in the other world. If anything her reluctance to tell her own friends made it even more suspicious, but she had proven to be her ally. “I guess there are always some things we don’t want people to know. If you don’t want to tell me I guess I can’t force you to.” The Valkyrie nodded her agreement to keep the truth from her friends. “Very well then, transfer student, I’ll keep your secret. But I do want a proper explanation when you’re able, that shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?” She smiled at the girl and began running after her, catching up a short distance later. “What should we tell your friends if they ask how we met? Should we say we met during a fantastical adventure in another realm?” She was joking of course, but this would be a problem they’ll have to deal with sooner or later. |

A little later, Sophia would find herself at the only public hospital in Hyakuji, situated in its own little area so that people would have a hard time getting there in times of need. Or, at least that was definitively what it would've felt like if one just had to sprint all the way from the downtown core to here. However, she would be there alone. Though Valerie had arrived on location with her, circumstances had needed her elsewhere. It went something like this: flashback And that was, more or less, how it happened. Sophia would find herself on the seventh floor, seated at the waiting room. The doctor hadn't finished his/her assessment of the victim, so Sophia was forced to wait out. Thankfully, the police weren't here either, as they were probably busy dealing with that "back alley alliance". And that meant that Sophia was alone, upon the waiting area of the seventh floor. Actually, alone. Not a single other person was here. No family members, waiting alongside the room. No idle patients, wandering about hooked up to their I.V. Not even a single nurse could be seen. The only sounds came from the T.V., implanted into the far wall of the lobby. It was a program, in which people are brought in and do comedic challenges in attempts to win a prize. A game show, including everything from the outrageous comments and fake crowd sounds. From what she could gather, contestants were organized into teams, each given a tag, with the objective being to take the tags of the opposing team. The camera, at the moment, happened to be following some blonde, foreign looking man, as he chased what could only be assumed as the member of the other team. Though he was chasing, his exaggerated movement and expression also made it clear that he was trying to entertain the audience behind the camera also. A good actor. He turned to the camera, uttering something quickly before being met by that recorded laughter. It was, indeed, very comedic, but Sophia might feel that it was a bit out of place here. Something felt off. Very off. And soon, Sophia would figure out why. The man turned, and smiled. "Why, hello there angel. You're too kind, coming all the way here for a visit!" The same recorded laughter. Suddenly, the room seemed to flip itself, spinning wildly. The T.V. began to swivel, oscillating larger and larger, the smile marking itself into her mind. Then, like an outstretched elastic, it all snapped back into place. The room righted itself, and the T.V. returned to its perch. The man on screen continued to be chase. With one key difference.
As if the introduction was at all necessary. The man laughed heartily, as if he had just relayed a joke. "By the way, I saw you hitting it off with that Reaper girl," Adour smiled, taking a seat beside Sophia. He was either really confident in his position or just wanted to make the girl as uncomfortable as possible. "What do you think? Her hearts in the right place, but personally, I think she's a bit too stubborn. Not flexible enough, if you know what I mean." Adour reach up his hands, as if stretching, before placing them both behind his head. "Though lying is never a good thing, honesty is the best policy. Wouldn't you agree, Sophia?" |

“I was wondering when you were going to show yourself Adour.” Sophia didn’t bother to face the man as he showed up in the waiting room. The sudden change in atmosphere unnerved her a bit, but she wasn’t about to let it show in front of this lowlife. “And what do you want? Trying to cause more trouble? Or perhaps sow more distrust?” The latter, so it would seem. While Adour definitely knew Val better, that didn’t mean she was going to believe him over someone that had actively helped her. “I’ll agree with you that lying is hardly a good thing, I must remind you that neither is manipulating people to achieve your own ends. As I recall you’re quite adept at deception, so you’ll forgive me if I’m a bit wary of what you say.” The Valkyrie finally turned to meet him face to face, her eyes were calm but held an icy edge. “Though seeing you here reminds me, what are you going to do now? You seemed to have gotten something quite interesting from Cerul, a set of notes was it? I seriously doubt they’re notes for some school exam, so what do you intend to do with them?” |

Sophia did her best to hide the anger that was rising within her when Adour revealed what Cerul gave him. The ability to create whole worlds… power like that was not something that should be in the hands of the likes of Adour. “I see… It is very valuable indeed.” Her voice was calm, but inwardly she was seething. Maybe she could steal it away from him before he did anything with it… “I’ll ask again, what do you intend on doing with them? Create another world and drag some more people in there to toy with them? Or are you going to tell me that it’s for some social experiment?” She scoffed as she stood, readying herself for what may come. “I don’t suppose I’ll get an invitation to visit?” |
