[help

he looks surprised a little]

Yeah? Which ones are your favorite then?

Well there's the one my sister used to make up for me, but then there's the Story of the Seasons. It's about the Four Maidens, who were all sisters, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

[ she tilts her head to the side. ]

Although...I recently learned that it isn't just a fairytale and that those four sister really existed. And that their power is passed down to this very day.

[ wheezes in oversharing. she got talking about it and could not stop. i'm so sorry. ]

[nightchild]

[stop don't apologize this is so ruby

for his part, Itsuki doesn't look disbelieving so much as he does surprised,]

A fairy tale that's actually true? [...] What, did everyone just kind of forget that those sisters existed?

[petalbursts]

[ she nods and then shrugs. ]

That is kind of what happened...humanity just slowly forgot over the years.

[ frowns. ]

My uncle said people started hunting the maidens down, so a special group was formed to protect them and their powers. They decided keeping them a secret was the safest way, their existence just slowly faded away.

Hunting them...

[...]

Powers are a funny thing, huh. They should be able to protect you against anyone, but instead they just make you more of a target. A lot of people don't seem to understand that.

You're right... There's so many power hungry people out there, who can't seem to get enough, so they go after those who are weaker.

[ ... ]

I've lost some very important people to me, because of that.

[nightchild]

[ah...]

...I'm sorry. It sucks to lose people you care about no matter the reason.

[he leans in a little to nudge her,]

At least for every power hungry asshole, there's people like us who know better, yeah?

[it's not very comforting he knows, but]

[ my inbox ate this tag. SHAKES DW. ]

It's alright, hopefully I can help put a stop to the ones responsible...

[ she nudges back.

and hey, it worked for her! ]

You're right about that, though. There's got to be some people who are willing to make things better, even if it's only a little. Every bit counts.

[DW HAS EATEN SO MANY TAGS AND NOTIFS.... shakes dw]

Put a stop, huh? So are you a... police officer? Lawyer?

[he doesn't sound doubtful, but he is curious]
