genessia | A Box of Assorted Sonico

A: Video: *Sonico appears on the screen with a big smile and bright eyes, and she even gives the camera a shy wave* Good morning, everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone here for how good and kind you have been. The fundraiser was a huge success, and I want to thank everyone for their kind words about my performance. I would also like to thank everyone for your thoughtful Christmas gifts. I was so shocked and suprised! I am so grateful to have met such generous friends. She takes a moment here to bow her head for a second or two to prove her gratitude. Suddenly, there's a small growl and a bundle of fluff appears, bouncing in front of the camera. Sonico looks up and laugh, and scoops the creature into a hug* And this is Meiji, my new kitten. Thank you, Koishi for being so thoughtful. *Yeah, Sonico looks at the cat like she's in love. There does seem to be something curious about her new kitten, though....

B: Action - Bar: This, unfortunately, appears to be a bit of a tradition for Sonico now. Another friend has disappeared. One who looked after her, and cared for her when she was house bound with broken ribs. One who tried to understand her, and consider her emotions. It hurts that he's gone now, so Sonico has found herself in a small bar, nursing a beer and staring at the table in front of her.

C: Action - Nova Mall: As soon as Sonico found out about Grell's Foundation for orphaned and disadvantaged children, Sonico was desperately keen to be involved. An orphan herself, she knows how difficult life can be. Not everyone has an awesome grandmother to take care of them. In order to raise awareness, and hopefully raise some money for the charity, Sonico sits up a little concert in Nova mall. Anyone nearby or casually shopping can pop in and enjoy the show! Sonico is on stage with a band, complete with her own electric guitar this time - thank you, Arro! - and is performing something very different from last time. This is for kids, so the show is in full on pop rock mode. The songs are punchy and fun, upbeat and catchy. To match, Sonico has gone cute with her costume too. Fun for all the family. Enjoy! Donate! Feel your heart go out to the orphans every time Sonico appeals between songs!

Sonico can't help but be quite pleased to hear that she had guessed well. She wasn't a complete idiot when it came to biology, after all. "Sixteen was late? And what about your family? Do they have the same...genetic makeup?" Sonico figured that was the polite way to put it, "Or it is more...irregular?"

"Mmhm, most commoner Fae like myself wake up in their early teens. Some can even hit crysalis as early as eleven or twelve years old. Most of us lose ourselves around thirty, you see. It's a short burst of existence, compared to what the human body can do."

So coming to himself at sixteen instead of, say, twelve... he'd lost a lot of time, for a Faerie.

Talk of family lines has him going quiet for a moment, his gaze shifting off to one side and his hands stilling on the tea. Tannusen shakes it off quickly, however. "It's more... irregular. Faerie parentage does seem to make it more likely to have a Fae child, and some breed for that, but it's not a guarantee by any means. Fae are born to regular, mortal humans all the time. I come from a satyr and a sidhe."

"Lose yourselves...?" Sonico was unsure what he meant, but didn't continue her question, afraid to press further. After all, if he meant dying, then he didn't look too far from it, age wise.

She noticed his quiet and realised that she had indeed gone too far, "A satyr and a sidhe. There are so many incredible...people here in this world." She did her best to smile, trying to keep the conversation lighter.

Tannusen wasn't actually to bothered by talking about the Unraveling, at least in broad terms. It was his parentage that had caused the silence, but of course Sonico had no way of knowing that. He offered the girl a returning smile. "Around thirty is when the Faerie soul leaves the human body. The body continues on living without it, as a regular human without memory of anything Fae, but otherwise the same. Some last longer than thirty, of course, but they tend to be... quite mad."

Now, to be fair, the pooka was most definitely mad. But it was a much different kind of madness he was talking about, here.

"Without any memory?" Sonico frowned at that, because it didn't sit too well with her at all. "No wonder they are mad... I imagine it must be quite horrible, feeling like a big part of you was missing but not knowing why..." She paused, realising she might be getting too deep into this, and that maybe it was somewhat personal.

"Forgive me. Perhaps it's not fair for me to talk about that. I have no idea, of course. I'm just...human."

"Just human is just fine," Tannusen was willing to let the subject drop, of course. "Have you been back to Trahearne's shop since the time I scared you? I'm not usually there."

Sonico smiled kindly at the comment, and nodded. As for visiting Trahearne's shop, she shook her head sadly, "No. I haven't. But I really should! Things have been quite busy lately... But I'll definitely make another trip there." Then she paused, looking at him curiously before speaking again, "If you were there...would you still be all growly like the last time?"

"Did I growl?" Tannusen was pretty sure he hadn't... he remembered just sort of sitting and staring at the poor girl while she grew increasingly uncomfortable with it.

"I'm usually just napping somewhere if I'm there. I run a bar and club at night, after all."

"Maybe not..." Sonico is sorry that she said it that way, or that she remembered him that way. "Just more...angry. And tail swishy..." She ducks her head in apology. "Of course. And I'll need to visit that bar some time instead of sitting here."

Tannusen laughs softly. "I promise, I was just being a dick."

At least he admits it, right?

"I look forward to your visit sometime, if I'm there that night."

It's his straightforward manner of saying things, more than the words themselves, which make her blush and giggle awkwardly. "Great! I'll be sure to visit some time soon!"

"Good," Tannusen smiles, and glances into his empty tea mug. He starts to get up to return it to the bar. "I think it's about time I head back to work, myself. See you around?"
