[carneouspuer]

I could still attempt to take them.

[triggeringbiggering]

[He almost says something a little mean at her talking about him like he's another person, but her kicked puppy expression even penetrates his thick head. He just huffs a little sigh and shrugs.]

Sure, mysteries usually have their own section in a library.

[triggeringbiggering]

[He clutches the light in white-knuckled hands.] What... was that...

[carneouspuella]

I don't think it would work... [She shakes her head. As she does so, the wheels shudders to a stop. ... Oh.

[desomnia]

[ Visi is stronger than her. Madotsuki realises that too, especially when she can't just stab it easily to get it away from her like she can in her dreams and sometimes even here with the lesser evils in the apartments.

Her mind is still on one thing. She just wants to get away. Avoid people. Avoid trouble. And although it's one solution to a problem (Visi can't cut off what's not there, after all) Madotsuki's thought process is a lot less rational, she just figures it would disgust most people enough to back off.

So as she tumbles after losing her balance and falls over, the knife disappears and in less than a second later, there's only a severed head lying on the floor. ]

[desomnia]

They're not too bad. They don't even talk to me.

[ As long as they're not normal people, it's fine. The things here are more like things from her dreams to begin with. ]

... You.. like people..?

[etudes]

I.. want to get a lot of them. I want to get Battler-kun a whole lot of books, so he'll be happy..

[ The kitten gives a tiny mew following it, and she stares down at it as she keeps walking. ]

[carneouspuella]

[Visi lunges forwards and - trips over the suddenly severed head. She flails, her knife skittering between the bars of a cage, and she falls over.

Her cry is one of surprise rather than hurt. She pushes herself up and stares in confusion at Madotsuki's head.]

[triggeringbiggering]

Sure, we'll get him tons. We'll stop off there on the way back from the store, all right?

[And they get to the gates to find them... locked and shut.]

Uh...

[etudes]

[ ..

She stares at the gates.

Then at Once-ler.

Then at the games.

Then back to Once-ler.

He's on a Lorax. ]

What's wrong..? [ Yes, even with the gates shut right in front of her, it doesn't occur to her that maybe they can't get back. ]

[desomnia]

[ Madotsuki's head stares right back. Then it slowly blinks, and it starts trying to roll away like nothing special just happened here. ]

[carneouspuella]

[Visi gets to her feet and follows the head!! This is TOO UNUSUAL.]

[triggeringbiggering]

[He glances down at her, then at the padlock. He reaches out with his free hand to touch it.]

Nothing! Hey, Kotomi-chan? Got a hairpin I can borrow?

[desomnia]

[ ..

After a little while of rolling, the head turns around to look at Visi. ]

... You're.. not scared. [ You're supposed to be so you'll leave her alone.. ]

[etudes]

[ Oh, that she can do! And Kotomi sure does love being helpful, so she manages to fetch one out of her hair near her pigtails, giving it to him with a small bow. ]

[carneouspuella]

[Visi grabs both sides of her head. With a wet, squelching sound, she pulls it off.]

I can take mine off too...

[triggeringbiggering]

You are one sweet gal, Kotomi-chan. [He gives her a biiiig grin and sets to trying to pick the lock.]

[desomnia]

[ Well, that sure was a failed attempt on her part. At least the girl isn't as openly hostile anymore, but even normal conversations like this aren't really Madotsuki's thing - even now, she's still pretty uncomfortable, and it shows in the way she rolls in circles a little. ]

... That's nice for you. [ Wow, so friendly, Maddy. ]

[etudes]

...

[ She seems to suddenly realise something while he's trying to pick it.. ]

Um.. Does Mr. Once-ler think that giving hairpins to other people is a "sweet" thing to do..?

[frostweaver]

[He covers his face with his hand and peeks awkwardly through his fingers at the mallet massacre. Well, it is kind of funny, he guesses, giggling a stifled laugh. Maybe he should just let her finish? A few headaches here and there are a small price to pay for a child's happiness... Or something?]
