XVI ✖ ＫＩＬＬ【Action; Backdated to age event】

[inhisdebt]

[If you've been wondering about where Mikasa went, she appears to be aimlessly wandering Genessia City without her gear. In fact, she doesn't even realize that she's been missing. Just that she seems to appear..... different. It's obvious that she's been beat up a little bit and there were signs that she had previously been tied up. Her morale was low and being in a strange place like this just made her more scared than she was before. She had gotten away from her kidnappers, but just where was she now?

She's been wandering for a while now, but she was hungry, alone, scared, and hurt.]

Am I.... going to die here?

Mama... Papa... Help me...

[OOC: I don't have a separate journal for young Mikasa or icons, so her normal will have to do for now.]

[Armin has been wandering around the city too, scared and confused and excited and alone. He looks about seven, and he hasn't realized he's hungry, yet. Everything is so strange here - what are those metal contraptions, and how are they moving? How are they making light without any candles? Why is everyone talking to themselves, and what are those little boxes?

Unfortunately, all his excitement and curiosity all gets buried under a couple more important concerns. Namely, Where am I? and Where are the Walls?! But nobody seems worried, and all the grown ups seem too busy and too strange and scary to talk to.

Mikasa is the first person close to his age that he sees - he's on his way towards her to ask her what's going on when he notices that she seems to be doing worse than he is, and he gets worried.]

H-hello, umm. Are you all r-right? Do you know where we are?

[inhisdebt]

[Oh, there was a boy around her age. He seems to be lost too, but more than that, he might be able to tell her where she is.]

Uhm... I.... don't know... [Was that too him asking if she was okay or where they were? Probably both.]

[neverfeltthatway]

[Now that he's closer, he can see the bruises, though he doesn't recognize the signs of being tied up. He reaches up towards the side of her mouth - fingers ghosting over but not quite touching the bruise where she's been hit.]

You're hurt.

[inhisdebt]

[With him reaching towards her, she knew that he hadn't killed her parents and taken her, but it still made her flinch backwards.]

N-No! [Fear... That unnecessary fear was still ever present as she was shaking slightly.]

[neverfeltthatway]

[He draws in a sharp breath at her flinch, pulling back as if burned.] I'm s-sorry! [He takes a half-step back, holding out his hands to show he's not going to hurt her.] It - it's okay! Here, let's...

[Taking a deep breath, he manages to calm at least himself down a little.] Let's start over. I'm, I'm Armin. What's your name?

[inhisdebt]

I'm... sorry...

[She didn't mean to scare him in return...]

I'm... Mikasa.

[neverfeltthatway]

Mikasa. It's nice to meet you. [Because manners are important, even in strange or scary situations!]

Did... did someone hurt you?

[inhisdebt]

[She went silent to that as she looked to her hands.]

They.... killed mama and papa....

[neverfeltthatway]

[Armin looks both horrified and stricken. After a long moment of stunned silence - almost crying - Armin comes up to her and hugs her tightly. His voice comes out a little muffled, but still understandable.] ...I'm so sorry. My mom and dad just died a few weeks ago.

[Eventually, he pulls back, tears in his eyes - and offers her his hand to hold.] I'll stay with you, Mikasa. We'll figure something out.

just ignore if it's not ok others are ok to threadjack him too

[ Marco hadn't been aged down. instead, he was angry. his personality had done a complete 180 all in one day. he had been rude, mean, hateful, sarcastic, even ruthless towards others. why? Marco felt that everyone had been taking advantage of him. and he was sick and tired of it!

he left. angrily slamming the door when he realized no one had even been home the entire time to be mistreated by him. the way they had mistreated him.

unfortunately, it wasn't long until Marco met up with Mikasa. there was an uneasy feeling from him. like going face to face with a murderer. he stared at Mikasa, noticing her face even as a small child ]

...Why are you asking for help? You'll eventually be dead. You should accept it now.

Nope! It's cool!

[inhisdebt]

[Mikasa stumbled back for a moment hearing that. Who was this...? And why were they talking like that...?]

Kid... napper.... [Stumbling back even more, fear in her eyes.] Are you....a kidnapper?

[ex_halfofme928]

[ there's a sneer that comes to his face. it's something that's even more sinster on someone who's practically an angel. he reaches out to grab her arm to try to grab her up ]

What are you doing out here? You should be back home where you're taken care of and loved and wanted!

[inhisdebt]

N-No... Stop!

[She's going to try to break free as tears were forming in the corner of her eyes.]

Mama and papa... You killed mama and papa!

[ex_halfofme928]

I didn't kill anyone, you stupid girl!

You're the one who's always been cruel to me! You took my best friend from me and now he doesn't want anything to do with me!!!

[ he's still trying to keep a grip on her. but it's a little hard with one arm ] I want to make you pay, Mikasa.

[inhisdebt]

W-What are you talking about?! I.. I didn't do anything to you!

[Now she's trying with all of her might to pull away with her free hand. He was scary. What was he talking about?]

[ex_halfofme928]

I don't know why you're smaller now but that doesn't mean that you have to act dumb! You and everyone else left me to die at the hands of Annie and you didn't even care!

You never cared, Mikasa! You pretend like you do but you don't. You're selfish like everyone else. [ the sneer twists into an angry look while she's trying to get away from him ] STOP THAT!

[inhisdebt]

[Good job, Marco. You've made a frightened child cry even more. And with that, she's trying even harder to break free.]

....Please don't hurt me. I don't know what you're talking about.

[pinklight]

[Hikari had been turned to someone much older than what she had been before, but however her mind was still in the right place. That and the fact that she was already caring enough to feel like she could get away with being an adult.

Seeing the poor girl wondering by herself she moved to kneel down.]

You're not going to die here, okay? It's okay.

[inhisdebt]

[Sniffling a little..]

I..I'm not..? Where... are the kidnappers?

[pinklight]

What kidnappers? You mean the people that bring us here?

[That was what she was assuming anyway.]

[inhisdebt]

I.. I don't know... Three men... killed my mama and papa and then... [Well, you know..]

[pinklight]

[She looked down slightly. That sounded terrible, but she figured the people who brought them here never killed people they knew before they came here.]

I can say they probably aren't here...the people or whoever bring us to this world don't kill people before they kidnap them. SO odds are the kidnappers are still in your own world.

[inhisdebt]

So... someone... else kidnapped me?

[At least it's not her parent's murderers, but even so it scares her. She was going to be put up for trafficking, what was different from this situation?]

[pinklight]

Yes. I believe so, which isn't good wither, but no violence or death.

[Not always anyway, but she didn't want to worry the other anymore.]

But I won't let anyone hurt you.

[inhisdebt]

O-Okay...
