Thread: Neuleben

Name Nickname Tephia Scully Teph Attire Brown leather and cotton top short brown leather skirt with suspenders brown leather arm and thigh bands brown leather boots head piece. Weapon Knife though not really usable for defending or fighting--a gift from her twin brother, Tidus. Location Inside the walls of Neuleben random local pub. Tagging Anyone Gideon. Time September 15, 3585 Late afternoon. Tephia's eyes shifted toward Gideon's hand as he took a hold of hers. It was large and warm and oddly comforting--something she hadn't expected to feel. Even the gesture, something she wasn't used to at all, made her smile. She had to admit it had a certain charm and that even Tidus would approve had he been there to witness the act. The notion of her brother being there, laughing and conversing, made her chuckle inwardly. Oh Tidus... Why? With wide eyes, Tephia then looked up at Gideon, her thoughts turning a bit dark as she thought about the fateful day she lost her twin to those rancid and rotting things that roamed the planet. Gideon... she said softly. Pleasure to meet you as well. Tephia then smiled up at Gideon despite where her thoughts were turning. All too often, she was thinking on her loss and it was getting harder and harder for to cope. Most would say that time healed all wounds, but she didn't believe that. She wouldn't. From where she was standing, it only got harder. The void only grew bigger, deeper. Just then, Tephia realized that her thoughts had begun to stray too far. Not wanting to lose focus, she bit down on her lip for a brief moment and took a deep breath. I... well... I'd just been out walking. I hadn't been paying attention to where I was going. She paused a moment, her cheeks turning a bit rosy from embarrassment. You could say I my thoughts were a bit preoccupied and, well, I ended up where I was as a result. She gave Gideon a sheepish look and shrugged slightly before taking another sip of juice. Name Nickname Lacey Kinson Lace Attire Red satin and lace corset top black leather boy-shorts black leather coat black leather boots black hat. Weapon None. Location Inside the walls of Neuleben. Tagging Anyone Dusk 'Yang' Haven. Time September 15, 3585 Late afternoon. Lacey didn't have time to react before Dusk moved to grab a hold of her hand, taking hers in his and leading her away from the dreadful scene. Under most circumstances, she'd have been adverse to just traipsing off anywhere with anyone, but he'd helped her and she offered to help him in return. Besides, she could understand his want for finding his sister, to have someone who'd be there and have your back unconditionally. Must be nice. She never knew such things, but god how she longed for that, craved it if she was honest with herself. But life never granted her such luxuries, hell it never granted her anything but a smack on the face or the rear. Just then, Lacey looked up at Dusk, her lips frowning ever so slightly. I'm always alone... she mumbled softly, the tone of her voice laced with a heavy sadness. How she wished she wasn't. And I keep busy, she added. I don't stick to one job for very long. Maybe it's because of boredom or something else, but in the end I always end up leaving it for something else. Lacey bit down on her lip. What she'd said was partially true. Most of the time she ended up switching jobs because of fear. Any time someone tried to take advantage of her or pull something that made her uneasy, she did the only thing she knew how to do... leave. Unfortunately, Neuleben was only so big and the world outside its walls were treacherous with the nasties lumbering about, waiting for live flesh to feast upon making it difficult to venture elsewhere. Soon enough she'd probably have held every job in town that she was capable of doing... what then? She didn't know. But that was a bridge she'd cross when she came to it. Right now I help out sorting supplies that have been gathered by salvagers. So, sorting and delivering. Not the prettiest of jobs, but it's respectable. Lacey smiled. And today was a long day. How about you? What do you do? she asked Dusk, looking into his strange eyes.
