tentatively voicetesting. x-posted to d_p. canon is gangsta.
[There is a smol child writing in the dirt, each stroke a deliberate, awkward thing. Some of the letters are backwards in the beginning, then frontways later on, and any letters previously correct flip to take their place! It's an awful game of somersaulting memory and poor spelling.]
[Once he's finally done, he irritably scrubs the back of his hand across his bruised cheek. The words read:]
WY AM I HEEЯ
[He blinks widely at the sky as if he actually expects an answer.]

Aw, is someone voice-testing? You poor thing.
no subject
The latter is quickly scratched out.
It takes him a moment to arrange his thoughts into coherent sentences, as he rarely has to.]
This is weird. How'd you do that? Can I learn?
no subject
Tell me, is your mun planning to send you to a game? Or are you doomed to an indefinite period of time in dear_mun purgatory?
no subject
Dear_Mun. Stuck here. The only game he's been looking at involves dying and going to whatever's after that. Apparently a lot of community service. I wouldn't be a good fit.
What makes me valuable? [He's a Twilight, a tool to be used and tossed away. He wants to know what Josh thinks that word means.]
no subject
Being stuck here isn't that bad. It's far better than the alternative. Don't you agree?
no subject
[A pause, then he realizes with some awe--] I'm bored.
no subject
Now THAT is something I can sympathize with. Museboxes are always a thing, at least. Though... I'm not entirely sure if encountering a friend from your canon series would be a blessing or a curse, given your situation.
[ Whether he's been reading your mind or listening in to the conversation below him is hard to determine. ]
no subject
[Images of a blond child his age springs to his mind--a rich kid with a bruised eye that matched Nic's at the time. A kid he's been assigned to as a body guard.]

[ Smol child please don't ask Yoshiya Fucking Kiryu how to friend, he's really really bad at it. ]
no subject
Note that the HMMMs are silent and implied.]
I think I get it. Anyone you don't kill or who doesn't want to kill you can be your friend.
[It is the blind leading the deaf.]

Even so, Nic, I do hope your friend shows up someday. Waiting for so long for an uncertainty can't be easy.
no subject
. . . What was your name again?
no subject
And to be honest, that's the suggestion I'd give. Personally, I wouldn't get your hopes up. But there's still no point in letting them die altogether. You really never know.

But I'll keep an eye out for you all the same.

Okay. I'll look for you, too.

You don't talk, and you can't spell. How are you alive? ...That sounds bad, but I mean, how have you gotten by in the other years of your life?
no subject
SOldiEr.

quiet and unassuming, she offers a kind smile - not in sympathy, not exactly. she has no voice, and he, evidently, is also limited in his. she understands, not pities.
after a short while, and if he doesn't seem to mind, she will kneel down and write something of her own in the dirt beside his words, before offering another smile ] No good answers...
Are you ok?
Oh wow sorry for the late! NILL!!!!
IM OK
[He's used to getting beat up, so he nearly forgets the bruise on his cheek. Nic can sense she gets it, and he has many questions. The first is maybe the most important question ever to be asked, because awesome-ness]
CAN YOU FLY
[thank you for teaching him how to spell "you"]
never be sorry !! i'll backtag forever!!
folds her elbows across knobby knees and watches as he carefully and a bit crudely etches his response. her own attention lingers on the bruise, and that's the only thing that briefly makes her face fall.
she's been there, too.
a beat, and there's a silent laugh, a tremor of small shoulders, before she unfolds her tiny wings; shakes her head. ] No, [ is written in confirmation. ] They don't do anything.
SWEETNESS. I feel like I've been waiting all my life to play with a Nill
STIL KOOL [He writes back with a decisive nod. There, don't feel bad!] I JEST JUMP HI
[Which reminds him--why isn't she wearing dogtags? In his limited world view, there's no way someone could look that different and not be a Twilight. But if she's not wearing tags, she can't be. But not even this socially inept child could ask someone what are you.
Instead, he puts it in terms he best understands]
R YOU FREE
omg I'm glad I tagged you! and I feel like these canons go so well together!
-but his surprise is returned twofold when he writes still cool because it has never been that, and her smile turns sheepish.
he can do more than her, already, scratched against the dirt as proverbial proof. ] But that means you're strong!
[ encouraging!!
then - she almost wants to ask what do you mean but that pang of familiarity assures her comprehension. ]
I am. I wasn't.
...Are you? [ she doesn't know what to good for in the answer. he's a kid, but childhood hardly means anything to some places. ]
(ooc ; honestly this is such endearing CR!! would you like to do some sort of meme ? )
they dooooo, it's so depressing :>
Instead, he grips the chain of his dog tags and thrusts them toward her. It reads:]
NICOLAS BROWN
BIRTH ---.---.---
BLOOD TYPE B
WEST GATE
MERCENARY TROOPS
[The other side is inscribed with C/3]
(ooc: definitely! do you have anything in mind? I already have Nic in the pillow fort meme and the childhood meme if that interests you. Otherwise I'm up for anything cute or cool or angsty!)
(sorry for the delay!) yess it kills me everytime!
it isn't a simple explanation. she knows this, and yet leans a little forward to better read the dog tags shoved her way.
a beat, a blink of round eyes with no other reaction other than acceptance. mercenary troops and that tells her enough, even if 'c/3' tells her nothing at all. so he must be like heine.
he's younger than him, and there's no metal collar and he doesn't wear his past on his shoulders (not yet) but much alike both her, and the pack of strays within the safehaven of that old church, this boy was shoved into a cruel world. ]
I see. It's nice to meet you, Nicolas, [ is what is scratched in the dirt instead. ] I'm Nill.
( ooc; ouu those are very cute! i'm sure no matter which we do it will be angsty and endearing both. if for childhood meme, would you still want ergastulum as the setting? or maybe we can do insomnia meme when that comes up? c:)
(it's ok! as you can see, I got caught in life too orz)
R YOU GOEENG ENYWERE? IM JOYNING THE SIRKUS
[he wouldn't mind hanging out with her more, afterall]
(ooc: I don't know what the insomnia meme is, but I've got a musebox if you wanna play it out rather than wait! if it's the childhood meme, we can do Ergastulum as the setting, or I can AU Nic into the DOGS world; I'd just have to take a quick refresher. it's been...a while.......)
