queenofheartsrp | [Video] Even she has secrets. (back-dated to close to the start of the phantoms appearing)

*it was one of those days. Kazumi was bored, and she was out of magic dirt, so she decided to make a foray into the wild areas. After all, what was the worst that could happen besides getting some weird wild card effect?*

*unfortunately, she had picked quite the bad time to restock on her supply... which would soon become apparent when a certain silver haired woman suddenly appeared in her path*

Well, well... if it isn't the little yakuza brat.

W... what? *the person she saw... wasn't quite familiar to her, but there was something about the way this person carried herself that...*

Haha... HAHAAHAHHAA! *the woman standing in her way grinned maniacally* Maybe this will jog your memory...

*the silver haired woman merely put a hand over her left eye, but there was only one person that Kazumi knew that had been missing an eye...*

N-no... Kuro...?! You're... Ryouko, she...

Killed me? Hahaha, you really are an idiot, aren't you?! Ryouko was dead once, too, remember? Or, should I say, Ryou?

N... no way... t-that's... the project, you...?!

*the apparition slowly pulled out a couple of knives, licking the flat of one of the blades in anticipation*

She's not here to protect you this time, pathetic little yakuza girl!

N... no!

*Kazumi finally got some reason into her head, pulling the katana she wore at her side free of its sheath just in time to parry Kuro's quick attack... but no sparks flew. The phantom dissolved away abruptly upon impact with a few departing words...*

Weak little yakuza girl... you can't even protect yourself.

*Kazumi fell to her knees, shivering as her katana dropped to the ground next to her*

Um... you, I guess...?

*she's not particularly picky as long as it's somebody she knows (that isn't evil, anyway)...*

Okay. It might take me some time, considering I can't place your exact location, but you don't look like you can give directions.

[And at that, she closes off her end and starts coming.

And in actuality, she's just going to sit back and let her dolls do all the searching work.]

((Aaa the scary scary dolls?))

[We can go with normal ones.]

((Yay normal ones~ I don't mind if we cause a time paradox and have 2+ people bringing back Kazumi, if you want to find her. ^^ ))

[Well, this would be a rather short thread if it were skipped like that... besides, I'm sure time paradoxes happen all the time in these things, just more subtle.]

((True enough.))

*Kazumi shouldn't be too hard for the dolls to find, she's just kind of sitting there*

[And thus, two dolls float on by.]

Hello!

Good afternoon!

H-hello.

*she was half-expecting one of the scary dolls, so she's a bit relieved neither of them is the one that answered the door at Alice's house that one time*

[Still could have been better though.]

Come, come!

Pick up the pace, lazy bones!

Ah... r-right...

*she'll slowly get up and follow the dolls*

[And during that time, the dolls will be conversing between themselves.

When one considers that Alice is in complete control, this could be disturbing.]

*Kazumi has other things on her mind than a puppeteer talking to herself. She might think about it later, though*

[Will she continue to ponder on those thoughts, as Alice slowly comes into view?]

*maybe later, when she's not worrying about a phantom that wants to kill her*

*she forces a smile when she sees Alice*

H... hey...

Greetings.

[She offers a wave, as her dolls fly back to her side.]

... s-so... um...

...

... thank you...

You're welcome.

Now then, are you willing to explain what that was all about, or is it something you prefer not to speak of?

T-that... um...

That was uh... somebody I knew from where I come from... kind of...

... Kind of?

... he... he killed my dad...

Are you sure you have the right person? That was a woman.

I-I know that!

... but... the things she was saying... I-I mean... there aren't any men here in the Gardens, right...?

Most people here don't vanish like that either.

I-I guess not, but... there just hasn't been any men around here at all, not even during the weird times in this place, right?

... though... if this was back home, there would be a different reason why he's not a guy anymore... but there's no way that'd work on him... it shouldn't... I think...?
