♪ third hymn. [Action]

[seleniahymn]

[It's kind of hard not to notice the sudden influx of noise when most of the village is sleeping at this hour. Tear sets down the book she was reading and stands up, moving toward the door of House 1 with knife ready in hand. Opening the door...

What the-? Wasn't it a bad thing if people didn't have their wings in this place?]

[Knife! Kniiife!]

W-whoah! Whoah whoah whoah! What's the big idea?!

[seleniahymn]

[Sorry about that Oswald, she's just letting her soldier side take over. Still, fuzzy~...] Who are you?

[kingofwaste]

I'm Oswald! Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, King of the cartoon Wasteland.

[He takes off the top of his head to tip it like a hat. ... No, I am not kidding. He can do this. Don't worry, the inside of his skull is supposed to be empty.]

[seleniahymn]

[That doesn't make it any less freaky.] W-what are you doing?!

[mieu_smash]

[ Well, for Tear, there's a familiar and adorable face outside who takes notice of her. ]

Tear? [ Yep, that's right. It's Mieu~ ]

[seleniahymn]

[IT'S MIEU! Tear is scooping you up quickly because you should not be out in the cold. Was Luke being mean to you again?] Mieu, what are you doing out here?

[alittlesilver]

[woman why do you have a knife and why are you in Big Saphir's house?]

[seleniahymn]

[Governor why are you a child again?] Nephry? Were you affected by an experiment again?

[alittlesilver]

[The real governor is in the clinic where she belongs. This child has no wings]

Get out of Big Saphir's house! I won't let you hurt him!

[seleniahymn]

I'm not going to hurt him... [The guy may be annoying, but she wasn't going to attack him without reason. Putting away the knife now.]

[necromance_this]

[Sup Tear, here's one of those people without wings, standing by the door as you exit.]

Tear, surely you know better than to run out into a crowd with a knife in hand.

[seleniahymn]

I wasn't running out in- [... Double-take. Jade was here too?!] Colonel?

[necromance_this]

Then what do you call what you're doing now?

[seleniahymn]

... Carelessness. [Still processing this.] Colonel, where are your wings?

[lilguardian]

[Shivering because it is cold and she is lost and she just wants her mama and papa okay.]

[But the person who answered this door still isn't her mama or papa!]

[... Just clutches her oversized Tokunaga to herself, trembling a little bit.]

[seleniahymn]

[Tear almost didn't see her, but it's kind of hard not to notice that large Tokunaga doll. Oh no, what happened to her? She'll be kneeling down to her level, trying to be as comforting as possible.]

Hey, what's wrong...?

[lilguardian]

[Ffff, the stranger's talking to her!]

[... Well, she seems nice. Anise hastily scrubs at her eyes with tiny fists, determined not to cry.]

My Papa's too good at hide n'seek. I can't find him...

[seleniahymn]

Hide and seek? [By this time she's figured that the newcomers are likely not New Feathers, but whether this is her Anise or not she can't leave her alone.] Do you want me to help you look for him?
