Her voice was still broken and unstable due to the sobbing. But the sound of another voice rather quickly through her into a panic once again. "D-Dont come any closer!" Her eyes were almost as wide as they could be. Her whole body shaking as she stared down the other girl like a deer in headlights

-She asked, worried for this stranger despite both of them not knowing the other.

The sound of voice did nothing to quell her worries. If anything, it made it far worse. "N-No..! Dont-!" She got up from her defeated position as quickly as she could manage. Fumbling for her little segment of PVC pipe and holding it out defensively. "St-Stay back..! I-I'll...I'll...!"

His ears perk up at the sound of crying, and naturally, he comes running to investigate. "Oh my gosh! Are you okay?? Are you hurt? What happened?"

She hadn't calmed down yet. Her whole body shaking as she packed in absolutely anything she could find in a discarded plastic bag. "I have to go. Just keep running. I'll...I'll be safe somewhere..." She didnt want to go. But she felt she had to run.

`` Krismas.. aren't you just pathetic.? ``

🌀feathers🪶 Yeah I'm done the night I think. Whateverrrrrr. Might be back tomorrow. Idk. I'll find out. Not like it'll matter much anyway. I doubt people would notice either way.

🌀feathers🪶 Every day just pushes me closer to quitting this hobby entirely. The fuck is wrong with me man. I really dont want to spiral out again.

"Why...why are people disappearing...? Oh gods..I dont...I dont.." Her breathing is starting to hitch This is...REALLY making her panic... "They found me...it has to be...no no no...not again..."

🌀feathers🪶 Every now and then I just steal a quote bot rt from Elly because the message happens to also line up with Melony as well It happens weirdly often

"It's not a problem. I've been needing to lift something for a while." With a little huff she hoisted one of the heavier looking boxes up onto the bartop so she could get to work unloading it. "I get anxious when I start slipping on working my strength..."

Slowly crawling out from under the hedge she sleeps in... "Bwuh....." She's covered in leaves again...

🌀feathers🪶 Melony has two distinct 'endings' to her story and it entirely depends on how or if she managed to resolve her underlying trauma I can talk about both quite a lot....

"I...appreciate that...so much..." She didnt really know how to react to all this... She was shivering a bit in the hug. Pulling her arms a bit more tightly around herself. Just slowly retracting into herself...

* I'm not about to let you go and... * L-Look... such self destructive behavior as this isn't good for you, or for anyone around you, okay? ( * She hugs Melony again. ) * Please. Don't forget that we're all here for you. This entire town is.

"Oh-! Uh..! Sure! That sounds great actually..." ...she sounds far too excited for this... She may not have had a decent meal for a while...

"I-I...okay..if...that's what you want..." She still isnt sure how to...accept such unexpected kindness... One hand moving across her stomach, her fingers resting to cover the messy-looking burn scar on her inner arm ...maybe not everyone would hurt her like that...

* Nuh uh. No. None of that, young lady. * I am going to be doing what I can for you, because you don't deserve to suffer a second more out there at night, understood? ( * She continues that stern, motherly, yet very caring attitude. She's not giving up that easily. Not at all. )

VERY loud groan... "I just want to lift something...something heavy..." "Want to feel my arms strain..."

Hitting a trash can with her pipe repeatedly... Donk-! Donk-! Donk-! "...mwehehehe..."

Normally she'd have run by now. She...was terrified of everything going on around her. She swatted two of the stars with her pipe before the orange glow in her chest began to grow to a fever pitch. "Get the hell back here and fight dammit-!" As another star shot towards her the glow fully +

* Pointing its finger towards the pursuer, it unleashes a flurry of stars, which all burst into homing blades after a short distance... * Unless they made contact with her, or the pipe, in which case they burst into a paradoxically cold, searing mist that dissipates as soon as it forms...

(NC) "Jarona-!" ...performs the bravery soul dash-

"I miss Charon...that damn old man..." Sniffle...

Crawling out of the hedge she sleeps in.. "Bwuh...wha happen..?"

"I just...I dont think I'm worth all the trouble..you know?" And...there it was. She didnt wnat help. She didnt feel she deserved it. "You...dont have to do anything for me..."

* No, you won't! I just explained to you why you wouldn't be..! * Please, don't do this to yourself..!

"My special attack where I beat you to death with a blunt object."

"She really kissed me...man....I'm still stunned..." Has been sitting on the curb since it happened....

"Well..! I dont usually do much fighting...!" She gripped down on her baton a bit tighter, but surprisingly for her she didnt back away. "But uhm..! If you wanted to! We could try that!"

* “That's no good. You ALWAYS have to make time for training, otherwise you get rusty!” * She pumps both fists, before making a mock jab toward Melony. * “We should totally spar! It'll be good for both of us!”

"Oh uhm. Melony-!" She slips her baton back onto her waistband. Crossing her arms over her chest rather nervously. "I hit things hard, too. I haven't done much training for a while though..."
