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.]

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.......)
