Orb: 17th of Rebirth’s Height

[me_and_only_me]

[[Anyone in the hero's wing of the Castle may hear the scream of something that sounds almost like a shriek of a bird, high pitched and filled with rage, swiftly followed by a loud crash and the scurrying of maids. Moment's later, Raven Prince's face is in the Orb, red eyes narrow and near glowing in fury]]

Where is she?! What have you done with her, FAKIR! [[The name is screamed before the orb is suddenly flying, flung across the room to crash into something else.]]

Comments

[sarcasticbite]

You've got to chill.

You didn't even say her name. How do you expect anyone to know what and who you're talking about?

[me_and_only_me]

[[The glare gets sharper, suspicion on his face]] Who are you?

[sarcasticbite]

Not her.

[me_and_only_me]

[[Oh he BRISTLES at that.]] Don't mock me!

[sarcasticbite]

Well, sorry. You were being unclear once again. The way you were narrowing your eyes at me just made me think you were trying to figure out if I was her.

The name's Nikki and I'm new around here.

[me_and_only_me]

I know you aren't her. You're nothing like her. [[Grr grr hiss hiss. Kitten is angry]]

[sarcasticbite]

Well, yeah. Duh.

Why don't you tell me what she is like?

[me_and_only_me]

She is mine. [[growled in warning]]

[sarcasticbite]

She is not a possession, assuming she's a person.

Maybe she ran away from you because you don't know how to treat her like a human being.

[me_and_only_me]

[[His head drops forward slightly as he laughs; a small, quiet sound that's a touch off]] She would never run from me... she says she's married to me because I'm the only one who can love some one like her... [[another laugh, almost a deranged giggle this time]] A poor crow trapped in the ugly body of a girl...

[sarcasticbite]

Uh, hey, look. Don't go all emotional on me now.

[She curses to herself. Emotionally hurt people and Nikki never really mixed well.]

Well, I don't know this girl, but she seems pretty emotionally damaged. If even you're acting this way, who else does she have to depend on? If you can't be strong, who would be able to pull her out of that horrible slump of a mindset she's got herself in?

[me_and_only_me]

Why would I want to do something like that...?

[whatmuttiforgot]

What's wrong? Who's gone?

[me_and_only_me]

Kraehe... [[There's a lot of conflicting emotion in that name.]]

[whatmuttiforgot]

I don't think I know her. What does she look like? Maybe we can get some people to look for her.

[me_and_only_me]

[[snarls]] Stay away from her, she's mine! I'll get her back myself! [[tantrum tantrum]]

[whatmuttiforgot]

I'm not going to take her from you! I don't want her. I don't even know who she is.

[me_and_only_me]

Then go away! [[snarls]]

[whatmuttiforgot]

I was just trying to help!

[me_and_only_me]

I don't need your help!

[whatmuttiforgot]

Fine! Geez!

[me_and_only_me]

[[and with a pissy look, he ends the connection]]

[whatmuttiforgot]

[Hurmph. Momiji sticks his tongue out and the blank orb.]

[[Haha, ACTION BECAUSE I CAN]]

[loyalbeyonddeath]

I haven't done a thing with her. [[As he stands in the doorway to Rue and Mytho's room, orb in one hand, Fakir's tone is clipped and cold.]]

[me_and_only_me]

[[Hello there, object of his rage. He throws his shoulders back hands raising up like they're seconds away from wrapping around Fakir's neck, entire posture tense]]

Where is she?!

[loyalbeyonddeath]

[[Fakir flinches. He allows the orb to shrink to its normal size and pockets it.]] Elsewhere. Home, another place like this, I couldn't tell you. But I had nothing to do with it, so direct your tantrum elsewhere.

[me_and_only_me]

You expect me to believe that? [[he gives a small, unstable laugh]]

[loyalbeyonddeath]

I wouldn't, in your position, but it's true. [[He takes a breath. His patience is shot, but who else is going to deal with this?]] You really think I'm capable of that?

[me_and_only_me]

Anything to get in the way... [[his voice is a bit shaky, knuckles white as he grips the bed frame]]

[loyalbeyonddeath]

[[Fakir approaches him slowly, ready to swat him away if he attacks or grab hold of him if he makes a move to flee.]] If I wanted to get in the way of the things you do, getting rid of Rue wouldn't help. Calm down, think for a goddamned moment.

[me_and_only_me]

Don't tell me to calm down! [[snaps angerly, back arching up again]] Kraehe is mine!

<<keywordz

[loyalbeyonddeath]

And I never said she wasn't, but that doesn't change a damned thing!

[me_and_only_me]

[[he's almost appeased by this. Almost.]] I'll find her... and I'll make you regret you ever got in our way....

[loyalbeyonddeath]

Unless something really has happened to her here, you won't be finding anything.

[me_and_only_me]

I WILL find her! [[snarls before teleporting off]]
