[Boy, things sure are chaotic with everyone in town being confused about how they got there, huh? Unfortunately for everyone, a white-haired little girl has decided to not question her circumstances and instead make the best of it ( Read more... )

[Should Lil'belia approach 1488 Kramden Road, she might catch a five-year-old pre-adopted-by-the-circus Coquelicot climbing carefully, though a bit clumsily, out of one of the first-floor windows.]

Nope. It's weird. It's like everyone who lives here got kidnapped in their sleep or something and nobody knows why.

So really, these houses don't belong to anybody!

They don't? Really?

[oh my god this is almost too good to be true]

... I can have my own house?

If you wanna live here, sure. I'm gonna get everything worth money and sell it off back home in Paris and get a fancy house there instead.

[And this doesn't trigger her "STEALING IS BAD" event flag because these houses don't belong to anyone anyways!]

... I might stay here! Paris is pretty, but... I'm always alone back there.

You're from Paris too? Maybe they grabbed us at the same time.

...

Yeah. Alone. I know what that feels like.

I... dunno. They said I was from 'Vietnam,' but I only remember Paris...

... you don't have a mom or dad, either? You're like me?

Yeah, I wasn't born there either but that's where I've been livin' for a while.

I dunno, I wouldn't say I'm too much like you. [With the hand gestures she's making it's pretty clear she's lording her height over you.]

... that's just 'cause you're older than me!

[She pauses as something clearly occurs to her.]

Um...

You bet I am. Maybe I should make you call me big sis and wait on me hand and food!

...What's wrong?

[She doesn't seem too worried, but that's PROBABLY because calling someone "big sis" doesn't seem too bad. Also, she doesn't have any idea what "waiting on someone hand and foot" means. So she works up her courage and goes on with her question.]

Um, if you go back to Paris... u-um...

... can I come with you? W-We can be alone together...!

You can't really be alone with someone else you know.

...But sure, I guess. Just don't get in my way when I gotta do stuff.

[She is very much leaving out the whole pyrokinesis thing but it doesn't seem to be working right now so maybe she's free of it!]

Really? Really really?

[She looks utterly shellshocked for a moment before her face breaks out into the widest smile ever oh god]

... I-I won't get in your way, big sis!

[Lobelia's trying to hide it but she's pretty hnnngh about this right now. Hell yes thieving partner.]

...So, what's your name anyway?

magique_bonbon December 15 2009, 18:21:26 UTC
[... this would be one hell of an alternate future. Especially once Coquelicot grew old enough to gain her spirit powers which are probably more specialized for thieving than Lobelia's powers are.]

Coquelicot! What's yours?
