HORRAY! I hit the 10K mark! O: I had some Nanoisms, but I don’t feel like digging them up. Not much happened today, I went to Japanese class, came back, and wrote. :P And, as per usual, here’s an excerpt.
“I really am concerned how a girl like yourself ended up here, and records show you shouldn’t be here for any reason. Now could you care to explain yourself?”
“Would if I could, but I have no idea. Might be nice if you could explain it to me, since I have no clue what so ever,” Neria replied, with the sting of annoyance hanging in her voice.
“Why don’t you just say it already then we can figure out how to deal with it?” Riel begged, seeming to believe Neria actually knew.
“I’m not lying. I really don’t have a clue. If I did, I’d tell you, but I don’t, okay? What part of that don’t you get?”
“You have to know though! People don’t just waltz on in here without needing to be! Things just don’t work that way!”
“No matter how many times you tell me stuff like that, it won’t change the fact that I have. No. Idea. Continually asking me is not going to make me suddenly know how I got here. All I know is I was walking down some brick alley way and suddenly I was here.”
“You think that’s really a believable story? Like I said, this is heaven; we have to be extraordinarily organized! There wouldn’t be an entrance to here in some alley way hidden in wherever it is that you live! Why don’t you just—”
“Stop it!” Kimily shouted, pushing herself between the two to separate them. “Riel, clearly Neria doesn’t know. The fact is you have to figure it out now. I know Neria, she wouldn’t lie about something like this, there’s just no point. Please don’t do anything to her either, okay? I want her here. It doesn’t matter to me how she got here, and if anything, I’ll take all the blame if that’ll make you feel better, just don’t get into an argument over the fact you think she’s hiding something. That’s just plain ridiculous!” She turned around to face Neria and said, “And Neria? I’m glad to see you again, but we do need to figure out how you got here, so at least… at least cooperate with them, okay?”
The tension that had begun to fill the air immediately escaped out the windows, though all it left was a big mass of silence.
“Well now, that was super effective.”
The pokemon reference was totally on purpose. xD
