Trying to fly but always falling (open)

[andrea]

It was a lovely day out, quite cold, as a small figure headed towards the park. She looked about fourteen for all she was seventeen and she hummed lightly to music no one else could hear. With her followed a black cat with white paws, prancing daintily across the snow. She looked at the cat occasionally with warm pale brown eyes, fawn colored, before turning back to look at the park. Once within reach of the park, with a child-like glee, she ran into the park suddenly with the black cat trying desperately to follow. Of course, it being a cat and her familiar, the male cat kept up quite well. After a certain point, the rather young acting female collapsed into the snow, giggling as the black cat jumped on her.

"You are such a handsome kitty aren't you Shadow?" Dayna told him, cuddling him to her. "I'm sorry Andrea has been all depressed and everything and can't remember your name but it's ok right?" She spoke directly to the cat, knowing Shadow could somehow understand them. Nyx never did explain to Dayna why but it was just how things were. She smiled as Shadow nodded and giggled as he licked her with his sand paper tongue. "Hey! Cats shouldn't lick people... you know you have a sandpaper tongue!"

At this, Shadow simply meowed and laid on Dayna. Dayna shook her head. "When will Andrea learn that hiding and pretending isn't the answer?" She asked the cat, petting him gently as he purred on her chest. "She causes so many problems for her mom and her brother and everyone in here too. Even you. What do you think? Should I let her try and do the depressing thing she tries every week?" She asked this of the cat gently and when the cat got off her, she sighed. She rubbed the bridge of her nose before getting into a more crouched position. Then she simply just slumped into the snow.

And the person who showed up was quite different from the child-like person. She seemed quite calm and tranquil although her tranquility was tempered by sadness. She got up and brushed herself off of the snow with a sigh. "I blanked out again didn't I Eric?" She commented to the cat. "And into the snow too... I probably should get myself checked for fits. I don't understand why you refuse to fly... Even though I can't fly doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. Ok.. suit yourself." She climbed up to about a meter off the ground in one of the trees and then concentrated, flinching a bit as she felt the wings slid out from skin on her back. She had taken off her jacket to show a top that didn't restrict the appearance of the wings.

The wings were surprisingly small considering how uncomfortable it seemed for Andrea to take them out. She flapped the purple and black wings a bit hesitantly before spreading them. She then jumped out of the tree, trying her best to keep the wings straight so she could glide, she barely managed two meters before she crashed into the snow. Fortunately, her wings had supported her enough that the girl in slightly black stained clothing was not hurt physically and even cushioned by the snow. But it seemed that there was other damage at not being able to pull off flight. She sighed, tears coming to her eyes.

"Why can't I fly?" she asked the cat, seeing the cat more as her brother then her familiar. "Why am I always destined to fall? I try again and again to fly." Truth was... she had heard the doctors when she had came here after they examined her wings about why she couldn't fly on them. They were too small and her bones weren't hollow for flight. But she felt like such a failure for being unable to make them grow or unable to make them fly. She wanted to be able to fly with and be with her brother. She sat in the snow, her legs pressed against her body as she started to cry, not knowing why this impossible mission was so important to her.

[vira]

Vira was hiding. Oh how she loved to hide. Sammy was never going to find her. Vira grinned as she hid in the tree in Black Springs Park. Sammy had told her that she had to do work today. Vira had no interest in that, so while he went downstairs to cook. Vira had sneaked right out of her bedroom window.

The thought made her want to giggle even more. He wouldn't never find her and that was mostly because of the fact she never ever came here. Vira didn't like going to the main town. Her father had spent a lot of time here and she didn't like seeing anything that made her think of him.

She giggled, shifting a bit on the branch she was sitting on. A lot of things made her think of her daddy, when she looked in the mirror she was reminded of her daddy. Not that she liked Mirrors, Vira thought mirrors were silly. Who wanted to sit there and look at themselves? Wouldn't they rather look at other people? See what they were like?

Vira hooked her legs tightly on the branch and let herself dangle backwards. She was being a Monkey now! Monkeys! Vira just loved Monkeys. Monkeys were so much fun, She had only met one Monkey and he was so nice to her. He had shared with her and spoke to her and he never ever said that she was crazy.

Monkeys were great! She grinned and giggled and then started swinging on the branch back and forth. When she looked down at the floor of the park, she saw that someone else was in the park. The person had pets!! Vira loved pets so much. They were so much fun.

Sammy would never let her have any though. Sammy didn't think she could take care of her pets. Just because ever time she had one she killed it, that didn't mean that she couldn't have one again right? How was that fair?

it wasn't! She was going to get herself a new pet one of these days. She had too.

She watched the person and then their wings came out. Vira's eyes widened. The person's wings had purple on them. How was that possible? Only Vira had purple! Vira loved purple! Maybe this person would be another friend for her. People who loved purple could always be Vira's friend. She grinned her deep purple eyes a light with amusement.

The girl went off like she was about to fly, then she fell almost flat on her face and Vira furrowed her brow, What was wrong with the girl? Something wrong with her wings? Vira decided to go cheer her up. She looked like she was very very sad.

Vira jumped down off the tree and went cartwheeling towards the girl before sprinting up into a run towards her.

"Excuse me! Excuse me, Miss? Hi!!!! I am Vira!! I wanna be your friend!!!!!"She said jumping in front of her her feet making crunching noises as she jumped. She was so happy, she was going to make a new friend now.

It was so rare that Vira got to make new friends, All she had was Sammy and Eva, not that she didn't love them. She loved them very very much, she just wished that they would love each other. "Your pets are pretty! What's wrong with your wings? I like purple toooooo!"she said with a really big giggle. Vira was insane, she barely ever said anything without a giggle. She smiled and waited. Speak New friend! Speak!

[andrea]

So lost in her thoughts was the half breed experiment turned orphan turned experiment again when she came here that she didn't even notice the person ambling over to her. So when she was addressed and a person crunched in front of her, she jumped. It wasn't fright, Andrea didn't usually feel fright, she couldn't or she blacked out. But she did feel quite started by the action and Eric was as well because he got up rather quickly as well. She smiled at Eric to try and calm him down a bit while at the same time listened to the overly exciteable Vira. But the yelled comment did make Andrea smile lightly in her quiet and calm way. It had been a while since someone talked to her in town and wanted to be her friend so even if the person did seem quite exciteable and childish, she was happy for any sort of friend she could have in town.

When she was told pet, Andrea looked confused. "Pets? I don't have a pet..." She commented a bit, trailing. "As for what is wrong with my wings, they are too small and my body isn't right. They can't support me no matter how much I wished them to." She said the last part with a bit of a sigh. it was a bit of a depressing thought. She wished she could fly with her wings... IT would be nice to be able to join her brother in the sky instead of his refusing to fly in order to try to make her feel better. Although he usually hasn't been clear enough to fly, he has been more clear since they came to the town so perhaps it was a good thing but... She really just wished, it sounded like such a great thing from songs and she had seen how happy he was flying before....

When Vira commented about the purple, Andrea nodded. "I like the purple in my wings but they indicate that I'm not exactly normal. " She admitted truthfully, although she didn't know why she needed to say this to a person who seemed a little off. They probably didn't care anyways. Which was nice, there was still judgement even within this city depending on how things were with you. For some reason people avoided her but especially the guard. She wondered why...

[vira]

Vira liked meeting new people, it was always fun to watch them and see what they were like, ask them if they were in love. Vira grinned, she loved to know if people were in love. She could listen and pretend that it was all about her. Vira would love for her to have someone. No one would ever love her though, not like that. No one could deal with someone who was as crazy as she was and she knew it.

She shrugged it off though, just because of the fact that Vira was nuts and would never ever find somebody to love, it didn't mean that she couldn't live vicariously through someone else right? Right! Even if it wasn't right, she did it anyway, and with that though and a grin she turned her attention back to the weird person in front of her.

Weird person, like she should be able to call someone that.

The girl seem surprised to see her and it made Vira grin, it also made her want to shout surprise but she figured that it would be much too late for that since she was already down here and the girl had already seen her. Vira shrugged it off, the next time she jumped down and tried to scare someone she would be sure to yell surprise first. She grinned about that. Surprise was such a pretty word that meant pretty things, she wished everything could be as pretty as the word surprised.

She started speaking and her voice sounded sad and far away and Vira frowned. Did she have to be sad? Couldn't Vira have met a happy person instead of someone who was so sad? She changed her mind though, maybe this was a good thing.

Maybe she could help this girl, Yeah yeah! that would be good she thought and she started bouncing where she stood every time she did the snow crunched a little underneath her feet.

The girl said she had no pets and Vira frowned. She knew she saw some kind of animal. She wasn't that crazy, okay well she was but that was completely besides the point! Vira saw what she saw when she saw it! Nobody was going to be able to tell her different either. "I coulda sworn I saw some pets Missyyyy, but if I am seeing things, it wouldn't be the first time!"Vira said with a shrug.

The girl continued to speak, saying that her wings couldn't support her or something like that, her body wasn't right. How could her body not be right? Wasn't she a Deathy? She had to be one. She had wings, big ones like hers. "How could they not support you? What happened to you? Meee I'm insane that's why I am the way I am. My daddy helped me be this way!!"Vira frowned when she mentioned her father. He was a sore subject for her lately.


The girl started speaking about her purple and Vira grinned. Her purple meant she wasn't normal? Had she looked at Vira? Everything on Vira was purple. Her eyes, hair clothes wings. Everything was purple. Thanks to Daddy! she though tagain with a sad face but it perked right back up again "I looooove purple! Everything about me is purple!!! she giggled a little and spun where she stood in the snow.

She was going to make this girl happy if it killed her, so she stopped twirling and then she grinned at the sad face before her, the deep purple of her eyes, light and ready for any kinda of fun.

"I've decided I'm calling you Captain Frowny until you learn how to smile! You should smile! There is so much in this world to smile about...like...like..like..Monkeys!!"Vira said with a grin and a bounce. Vira loved Monkeys. Maybe she could get this person to love monkeys too and if you loved Monkeys you were bound to be happy.

When Vira frowned, Andrea wondered what she did wrong with the other person. She shrugged and then turned to Eric. "Eric, do you see any animals around?" She asked him and then tilted her head as though listening. She then turned back to Vira with a light smile. "Eric shook his head no if you didn't see it. He is a bit shy so don't expect him to speak." The smile was tinged with a bit of sadness then. She didn't know what happened but when she did find him again after he vanished, he wouldn't speak anymore. Eric was mute, she had to learn how to interpret his body language and she thought she was very good at it. Her adoptive mother had wondered where Eric was though and Andrea was not surprised, he had avoided their adoptive mother, he probably didn't want to deal with any possible change in how the motherly figure saw him. Although Andrea told him how silly that was, she let it go that he just didn't want to see her.

The half breed looked a bit embarrassed, her face turning red when the other death angel asked why her wings couldn't support her. "I'm not fully death angel due to probably scientific experiment..." Andrea commented "I was born that way, so my bones never were hollow and my wings came out late so they didn't have the chance to grow as big as they needed to be for me." In fact, her wings were smaller than usual for a death angel even now. They had more an appeal of looking pretty rather than actually being useful. At the other person's comment of being all purple, Andrea finally noticed that Vira was purple and smiled. "The purple is quite pretty... I'm happy you have such a pretty color"

When vira got into weird territory, the host personality, already strained by being sad couldn't quite handle everything. She just shut down, falling to her knees, her eyes going blank and expression as well in an intermission between the personalities. The the brown eyes lit up in a way and the new personality, Lyess, gave a bit of a giggle.

"The fake is annoying and Nyxie doesn't really show emotion... It's ok because Lyessy is here!" Lyess said with a smile. "She has been listening from inside, she likes purple but purple is Nyxie's color. Lyessy's color is red but she rarely gets to see pretty red so it's kind of sad. She likes monkeys too!" She was very fidgety and seemed to be made of movement, unable to stand still for even an instant. She moved to her toes and then rocked on them, occasionally falling a little bit onto the snow but using her hands to catch herself and push off back into a balancing position. Her wings sort of flapped in Lyess' enjoyment as she waited for the response from the person who she wanted as a friend.

[vira]

Vira wasn't sure what she thought about her new friend just yet, not that she was going to reject the girl though. Vira never turned down new friends, she was in no position too. She had only two friends, there was always room for more wasn't there? Of course there was! she thought with a small grin.

Even though Vira desperately wanted another friend, she wasn't sure she wanted one that was so frowny or one that made her so confused. Vira hated being confused, mostly because the girl was confused almost all the time. One too many hits to the head she guessed...or experiments to the body...she thought distractedly, then she dismissed it as quickly as it came and tried not to zone out again and pay attention to the girl in front of her.


She was talking again, asking someone named Eric about the pets thing and Vira got even more confused. What the hell was she talking about? Who was Eric? Where did the pets go? Vira knew she saw some pets. Some animals and she wanted to play with them as much as possible. It was rare for Vira to get to play with animals because Sammy always took them away from her because he was afraid she would kill them. Okay, yes, yes she had killed quite a few of her pets when she was actually allowed to have them but that didn't mean she was going to do it again right?

Even so, she was so confused as to what the girl was talking about. She said Eric was shy and Vira frowned and cocked her head to the side. Eric was shy huh, well she was sure that information would come in handy, when she figured out who the hell Eric was.

"Uh...Captain frowny? Who the hell is Eric?"she asked in a very curious tone. She wanted to know what was going on. When Vira didn't know what was going on she got angry and when Vira got angry...Let's just say it wasn't a good thing for everybody else.

The girls face turned red when Vira spoke next and Vira frowned, had she done something to upset her? All she did was ask questions! Vira almost groaned, she always screwed everything up. Always. It never failed, this was why she didn't have many friends. She always screwed it up when she tried. Sammy, in the beginning had no choice but to be friends with her and they became close that way and Eva...Eva just didn't find Vira bothersome for some odd reason, Vira was very thankful for this reason though. She really needed Eva, whether she knew it or not.


The girl spoke again, saying the reasons why her wings couldn't support her and Vira nodded like she understood. The only part she really caught was the part where she said experiment...Experiment. That word always caught Vira off guard. Mostly because whether she remembered it or not. Vira had been experimented on all the time as a child, mostly of her own fault as well. When Daddy wanted to go hurt her sisters, she would volunteer herself instead. This way, none of them would get hurt but if you asked her about it today she would just giggle at you and not respond. Until you said the word experiment. That just snapped her into all sorts of reality.

That is, if she didn't just attempt to shake it off like she was doing now. No time to dwell on the past when you has friends to make in the present. "I'm sorry...That doesn't sound fun"

That was when Vira had decided she was going to call the girl captain frowny until she smiled. Vira felt she had every right to do so, all the girl did was frown and frown and frown some more. Nothing in life could be that bad that you had to frown all the time could it? Vira didn't think so and she never would either.

Then, she giggled...Vira looked up at her and noticed something different in the girls eyes. Had it worked? Had Vira finally made the girl happy? The girl started speaking and she sounded completely different from the way she had before. She was no longer sad she was peppy and she was loud and she kept calling her Lyess. She was now doing crazy things like falling and swaying on her feet.

Vira was so lost. What had just happened? Did the girl just bug out? Had Vira rubbed some of her craziness off on the girl? Well there was only one way to find out.

"You seeeem way to different than a few minutes ago!!! what happened??Did I make you insane?? I didn't know I had that power..."Vira said with a little bit of a giggle, she hadn't known she could do that and she almost wished that she hadn't. Most of the time Vira preferred sane people to insane people, because if she thought she was confused when she was with someone who was sane, imagine how hard it is with someone who was just as crazy as she is.
