[jemerite]

[Hello, mirror. It seems that... Zinc may just be waking up after a few rather unpleasant days, a wave of gleaming green snakes slithering away from her, disappearing into the grass with a faint rustling. She opens her dark eyes slowly, staring off at nothing blankly for a long time.

Eventually, she makes an attempt to lift her head, but she lays back down tiredly, blinking without speaking.

It is a while still before she curls an arm under her head, getting more comfortable, although she's frowning and her eyes don't lift to the mirror. The reason for that will be quite apparent in a moment because she murmurs,]

I can't see anything.



[[ooc; I am still tagging that log. Very slowly, I'm so sorry. Sob. I just didn't want to have to backdate this any further. If anybody wants to take credit for her second death, they can have it. Otherwise it's a suicide, and... I'll just be ambiguous about it until that gets settled.]]

Comments

[jemerite]

I am always cold.

[It's not quite an apology, though it would be on any other day. She gets to her feet slowly, uncertain about taking support from a girl who must be half her size. It was strange being one of the few adult women in the Garden.]

The house is... away, from the orchard. To be alone.

[golden_gaytime]

I don't mind! [ The last she wants to do is make Zinc think that was a bad thing. She just seems to hold on tighter. Purposefully. ] Away from the orchard... okay! You said there was a gate, yes? Is that... with a fence? I'm sure I'll be able to spot it.

I'll start walking, now. [ Announcing what she's going to do is best, right? She sure hopes so, as she'll start walking, taking cautious, halting steps until it becomes clear if the woman can follow the lead easy or not. ]

[jemerite]

An iron fence... Maybe Coleo is waiting.

[She tended to stay in her little house because she wasn't able to move very quickly. She has been dead for several years now, and while on the outside she looks pretty - Barbet and Kuja's work, it's why she needs a master - inside she continues to deteriorate. The joints are the worst of it.]

[golden_gaytime]

"Coleo"... [ She tests the weight of the word, still moving, and steadily gaining confidence as she thinks less and less about Zinc's blindness. ] A friend? [ She'll stop if she was right on the first mark, but otherwise: ] A... pet?

[jemerite]

A pet.

[She answers softly.]

Reeve made her.

[golden_gaytime]

She did? [ Assuming that it was another such lady who resided her and not back home. ] What kind of pet, if I may ask?

[jemerite]

A robot. Coléo is short for coléoptère. Beetle, in French.

[golden_gaytime]

Oh! Is it a tiny and cute round robot? [ Beetles are not inherently cute, but if it's only named or modeled after one... ]

[jemerite]

I... think she is cute.

[golden_gaytime]

That's good! That's the important part. I can't wait to see her. [ Which is pretty much universal, for Mugi. How much farther do they have to go, she wonders, as as she looks around. Are they even going the right way? ]
