[a small blond child, cloth doll in hand, wanders her way along a street. She's looking around, but trying not to look directly at anyone, because she doesn't know them.

The ground is empty of snow, which is something she has rarely seen, and barely remembers. Everything is wrong, and this is Not Keterburg. Soon, no matter how brave she is trying to be, she won't be able to do much more than sit on a bench and try not to get upset]

...Nephry. Why are you here?

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[a small gasp! And she gets up off the bench to take a few steps closer]

Is that you Jade?

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

[Oh boy. Although not much of a parent herself, she's walking over and placing a hand on Nephry's shoulder. Faintest frown appearing on her face.]

It's dangerous to be out in a place like this.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[at the touch she jumps, bringing her doll closer to her chest]

Who are you?

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

[Oh crap, did she frighten her? She didn't mean to do that.]

Asch.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Nobody here is familiar. So to a point, everyone frightens her just a little bit]

I'm Nephry.

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

Are you that Necr-- [Wait, she's tiny.] Jade's little sister?

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Yes. [and she perks up juuuust a little] Do you know him? He's supposed to be in school too.

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

I do. ... But unfortunately, you're not home anymore. [She was used to telling newcomers this kind of information. ... But it didn't seem so right telling a little girl.]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

No, there's no snow. But I don't know where I am.

[she is faltering just a little. Her eyes welling up, and all.]

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

[Great. Now she's feeling a bit bad. Is that normal for Asch? No. So he doesn't know how to handle this.]

I'm not sure how to explain this world to you. [But you're definitely not home anymore. ;O;]

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

This world?

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

Right. We're not on Auldrant anymore.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Asch, Nephry is looking at you as though she might not be able to even understand that.

But she might.]

ohgodwrongicon. D:

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

... You won't be returning home for awhile.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I have to go home! They will be waiting for me at school...

[or maybe not.]

[akaishodou.livejournal.com]

[Oh Nephry. Your innocence is adorable. Which is making her consider how she says things.]

I will try and find the an exit so you can return home again. But it may take some time.

[fonic-genius.livejournal.com]

Yes. Why are you here?

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

I didn't know where to go.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

That's very nice of you.

D'aaaawwwww, there's not enough Nephry out there.

[Walking by, lost in thought, Jade paused. He felt something quite familiar nearby and looked up, to his left, his right, then finally skyward?

Nothing in the clouds, his gaze turned down to a normal level again and he saw...a memory, and as always; it was not a pleasant one. He crossed over to the small child, and looked carefully at the doll, trying to determine whether he had replaced it for her again. He kept his voice soft, wondering if she'd know him in his aged form.] ...Hello Nephry, are you lost?

[fonic-genius.livejournal.com]

I meant here. Why are you in this place instead of Keterburg?

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Where is here?

I play the grown-up version too.

[alittlesilver.livejournal.com]

[Nephry hugs her doll a little tighter when the tall man comes closer. It's a little worn, but she's too old to have the real one anymore - this is definitely the replica Milly.

He seems familiar too, but she doesn't know exactly why.]

Yes sir. ...How do you know my name?

[Professor Nebilim taught them to be very careful of strangers.]

Oh wow! We should do something with the siblings grown up then~ ...I also play a Peony.

[glasses-gleam.livejournal.com]

[Watching her reaction, Jade can not find himself surprised by either it, or the doll. She'd already be drawing away from him by this point, too disturbed by what he'd done, yet unable to let go of Milly.

He smiled again finally.]

I'm a friend of your brother, Jade. [Just a quick pause while he determines what he should use for an alias; the answer is simple.] Call me J.C.~
