Kyngdom Survival Guide

Hello, it's me

Chatterbox: KYNGDOM™ RP Board

Hello, it's me

Hello, it's me again!

This is my first thread, and it's going to focus on my charrie Lycaella, her mom and her friend Nygrune. It's for following our adventures while we're not in a place or situation covered by another thread. 'We' because Ronan has asked to be Nygrune, to which of course I said yes. 

Someone (I think Icy) said that B.I.G. and Catstrophe actually dislike each other. It makes sense, so... Just to let you know.

I'll begin where I left off on the Underwater Ball thread, with Lycaella and Nygrune planning to do some spying of a sort. They've asked Lycaella's mom to show them her notes, so I'll fast-forward to that. 

Lycaella~

"Oh, so you're giving them their shadows back?"

We are sitting on a rug in my mom's room, reading her notes. I can't make sense of half the words, but she tells Nygrune and I what it means. Apparently, Catastrophe has found a way to separate shadows from their owners' bodies, and to keep him from creating a shadow army and destroying everything, B.I.G. has been researching it. They've managed to figure out how he did it, and are testing ways to reattach the shadows to their owners.

"Well, that's one way of putting it," my mom says. "We believe it will be beneficial to all of Kyngdom."

"I don't really understand this one... How would they sew them back on?" I ask.

"I believe it's with a special sort of thread, Ella," Mom says. "Let's see now..."

Nygrune finds it first. "A needle made from the bone of a magic or mythical being, preferably with thread also made from a magical material."

"Yes," my mom says, "Although personally I think that a binding spell shows more promise." I raise an eyebrow. She doesn't usually like magic this much. Out of nowhere, I yawn. Mom and Nygrune look at me like I'm disrupting something.

"Sorry," I say. "I'm getting kind of tired. You two can keep reading, I don't mind."

My mom nods. I hear her calling after me as I leave the room.

"Remember to brush your teeth!"

~End RP. 

It actually is getting kind of late, so I should go. I hope this works out.

And I'm all alone again. Oh, well. I'm at fault as much as anyone else for not posting, but I just got sucked into The Lunar Chronicles, and well... It's a long and addictive story. My sincere apologies to everyone I'm supposed to be drawing.

I hope you don't mind this, Karune.

I think it's time that we helped the Resistance and didn't live uner mother's command anymore. Although this may sound horrid, it is our war, and we must fight for ourselves.

So I just withdrew 50,000 credits from the Estate Fund, and I am donating it to the Resistance.

Karune~

I dash through the mansion halls, looking for Lilly. She just withdrew 50,000 credits from the Estate fund. I turn a corner, and there she is.

"Lilly!" She turns to me as I come to a halt and grasps immediately what I wanted to talk about.

"Karune..." She stands up straight, bracing herself. "I gave it to the Resistance. We need to make our own way for once instead of just obeying Mother, and we're at war. It's time we help them."

"I know. I have. You know that. You saw my pin that night. You know I support the Resistance, just not this openly. I didn't want to draw attention from people who wouldn't like that. I wanted to keep us safe, to keep you safe."

Lilly is silent. Her eyes start to well up, tears threatening to spill over her thick lashes. She swipes at them roughly and soon gives up on holding back a sob. I walk gently over and wrap her in my arms.

"I'm sorry, Lilly..." I wrack my brain for something comforting to say. "It's done now, and there's nothing we can do to change that, but it'll be a big help to them. You're right, we can't let Mother control us, and we are at war. But it's going to be okay. I forgive you. It's okay."

Her tears don't last long, and soon she pulls away.

"Thank you," she whispers.

"You're welcome," I smile. "Now, let's go somewhere else and start planning our next move."

I forgot to post about it, but it snowed yesterday! We had a half day because of that, and I went to the woods by my house. I have pictures, too, if anyone wants to see pictures of snow and/or my little scrap of forest. And yes, I walked around outside in the woods while it was still snowing for two hours. It was so fun. :D

Well, nobody else has posted, so I'm going to skip over the events at the bakery and fast-forward to Lycaella's dad's arrival.

Lycaella~ 

I hear the front door open from all the way upstairs, where I've been doodling in my room. I fly down the steps, reaching the last one just as my dad looks up.

"Lycaella!"

"Dad! You're home!" Most of my exuberance is false, but I still feel a weight lift from my chest at seeing him alive.

"Here, let me put this away and I'll be right there." He hangs up his jacket as he speaks and pulls me into a hug. I hear Nygrune at the top of the stairs behind me, but my dad doesn't seem to notice. After a moment, he releases me.

"Do you want me to help you carry your stuff?" I ask.

"No, that's okay. I only have the one bag," my dad answers. "Oh, hello."

I turn to see Nygrune a few steps down from where he was before. He and my dad smile at each other.

"Hello."

"Who's this?" my dad stage-whispers to me, winking. I roll my eyes.

"Dad, this is Nygrune, remember?"

"Nope," he grins. Nygrune laughs, luckily. I rest my head in my hand to hide my smile.

Nygrune shadows me as I hover around my dad for the next half-hour, wandering outside to the yard when he shoos us away.

"Did you see that?" he asks.

"See what?" 

"That folder your dad took out of his bag." Nygrune frowns when I shake my head.

"It had the SOCS logo on the corner. Your dad has a SOCS file."

"What's SOCS?"

"It's an acronym. It stands for Society Of Concerned Scientists. They're kind of like B.I.G., only more... malicious. They know what they're doing."

"And what are they doing?"

"Mostly they're keeping zoos of animals and mutants and things for experiments, but they also run a sort of boarding school that's basically just a training campus for an army. The kids are taken from their homes, the younger the better, then get brainwashed and taught to kill. You know about Alexandria, right?"

I nod uncertainly.

"She was one of them." 

I contemplate this for a moment. "But why would my dad have one of their files? He's not one of them, unless... unless he quit B.I.G. and they hired him, or if he's doing research involving them."

Nygrune shakes his head. "I don't know, but I'm going to find out. Your dad usually likes to just relax and not work, right?"

"Right," I say. "Why?"

"I think I have a plan."

Stuck on the third page and not a lot to say. Except that somebody has to rescue Ronan. And Icy. And anyone else who needs rescuing. I guess Nygrune and Lycaella could figure something out once Lycaella's dad is gone? I wonder if his visit will be of any real consequence.

...Claaws? I made it to NaNo, but I don't know where you are. I feel kind of like I took a later train home from school to meet one of my old friend's parents and I'm standing outside the station and it's past sunset and I don't know what their car looks like or when they're coming or where they'll be. Which is actually the exact situation I was in a couple of weeks ago, but anyway, please come find me? Because I don't know how to find you.

You found me! That actually reminds me of a video called Missing Halloween. It's a little confusing and sad, but also sort of pretty.
