## Setting

### Debut

December 8, 2021
Oc role-play

**Erica Keiko** is an original character made by P4rAxsm

## Backstory

There wasn't anything quite 'special' you could say about Erica, she was a normal school student like anyone else. She was somewhat well known within her school years. Whether she was known in a good or bad way, being widely known within her school was something Erica barely cared about. She lived a pretty stable life, she didn't really have any problems. Erica was an A - B student, her strongest subject was ELA, her weakest was science. And, this could be considered as off-topic, but like everyone she had a best friend. "Lyle Kudo." A simple boy that liked simple stuff, and had a stupid dream about being an 'Evil mastermind.' Of course he wouldn't turn out like that, In fact he turned into something completely different. But that isn't even part of the story. It was almost Erica's birthday, and what else would you do but get your best friend a birthday present?

### Lyle POV

```
It's a few days till October 31st, time passes by really fast! God now I'm gonna have to get a present for her! It's that time of the year again..but at the same time I'm too lazy to get a present for Erica. Haha...jeez you're such a jerk Lyle, can't even have the motivation to get your 'best friend' a gift. .**and now I'm talking in first person. God help me**

```

```
But I also have work to do from school. .fine, **\*Beep\*** work I guess, Erica you owe me! I'll talk to her later, *Erica the almost perfectionist*, you better at least let me copy off your homework!

```

```
I was walking around and it was crowded as *\*beep\**..everything was loud, and it was hard to get through people to get where you wanted to go. I couldn't see where I was going and before you knew it I got pushed into a completely different area. Gosh why the hell was it so busy, and can people not push a minor like me into a random place where I could get kidnapped?

```

```
I looked around and almost no one was where I was. I couldn't get back into the crowd since it would be hard to find an opening, and tiny part of society will probably be angered by my sudden entrance. I took out my cheap phone, and of course there was no signal. Great, finding Erica's gift couldn't get any worse..she really owes me now. Maybe two days of copying homework or three, way more if I almost get kidnapped.

```

```
I basically just walked around wherever I was, I was in some sort of aisle ..it wasn't a real sketchy one like the ones you see in abandoned movie stores though, it was pretty ..decent? Not sure how to describe it, but it was nice. Some people spray-painted some stuff on the walls..which I'm sure isn't legal, but the art was better than just words on walls. I noticed there were a few shops here too..one caught my eye in particular. It was a mirror store? From the outside, it had a nice display. It was only a single mirror, but it was honestly a really 'beautiful' mirror..and it had nice details with cool decoration. Maybe Erica would like something like that?

```

```
I walked inside and it was sorta sketchy, well not really, I suppose the only thing that was wrong was the lighting. The cashier worker(s) wasn't visible so they either ditched or are on break. I walked around the store, and looked at some of the smaller mirrors that were holdable. I picked up a mirror that had a butterfly decoration. The butterflies were white, grey, and black. There was a single colorful butterfly near the top of the mirror that was half purple, half pink. Each butterflies wings were slightly different, closed, open, opening, closing..stuff like that. And the butterflies weren't huge, they were just small decoration. It was holdable and I thought maybe Erica would like it, she likes to stare at herself 24/7 right? Haha I'm such a jerk!

```

```
I looked at the price and it was ¥12,035.02($89), ah of course it was expensive..such detail on a mirror wouldn't be cheap, in fact it probably would have been more pricey in other stores. I'd be using most of my allowance but not like I buy a lot of things. I decided to get the mirror and went to the cashier to wait. What terrible service they have here..whatever what do I care about it though? A few minutes later an elder came to the cashier **of course it was an elder.**

```

```
" **A boy your age shouldn't be here..are you sure you want to get that mirror? we have many selections..we also have other mirrors on a different floor..are you sure you're happy with your selection?** "

```

```
The heck was wrong with this lady? One, there was another floor? Two, they're questioning why I'm getting what I'm getting? Hell, society's stupid.

```

```
 **" I'm getting this mirror for my friends birthday, why?"**

```

```
**"A girl once had that mirror before, she disappeared soon after.."**

```

```
I swear I am gonna loose it, this lady is acting stupid, god what an idiot. Can I just get my **\*beep\***?

```

```
**Then miss, if this mirror is so 'cursed' you could say, why give an option to buy it?**

```

```
**"Oh? ..my my..please understand, I was absent for a few days and there was a substitute running the store while I was gone, they must have put it on out so customers could see and buy it!"**

```

```
She's loosing her mind, I hate this, everything she says sounds stupid, is she on drugs or something?

```

```
**"Uh, great can I just get the mirror? I'm sure it'll be fine. "**

```

```
And..finally I actually purchased the mirror from that cray cray lady, Erica...*you owe me at least a week of me copying your homework!*

```

### Continuing backstory

*October 31st ⢾░▒▓█*

Halloween! What a pleasant day, children and friends getting ready to dress up, and get a treat on this day.

```
"...ERICA'S BIRTHDAY!" Lyle yelled in his mind

```

Lyle hurried and wrapped the mirror as if no effort was put into wrapping the gift, sure, he had time..but he chose to rush instead of taking the time to wrap it nicely.**"who cares about wrapping? It's the gift in the end"** as Lyle would have said.

It was '7:30', Lyle would have to walk to school which was about 15 minutes away considering he was running. School started at '8:45' so he'd be there 'early.' Erica was always at school early, Lyle assumed she was just one of those weirdos that literally got to school right when students could get into their classrooms.

It was about '8:16' when Lyle arrived to the place kids nowadays call "hell."

### Erica POV

```
I arrived to school as early as possible once again, Its honestly tiring having to force myself to wake up early, take a shower, do my morning routine, and go to school. Only to end up not seeing any of my friends since I arrived the earliest. It's really boring..I've been sitting here for about a half an hour now..Only some of my classmates have arrived but none I really talked to.
**wait.** I take that back

```

```
There was Lyle who rushed into the room like there was no Tomorrow heading to my desk and yelling
**"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"**
like no one was watching..Was he an idiot? I shouldn't even be questioning myself that, of course he is..I laughed like no one was watching too..I guess we're both weirdos and idiots. Maybe him more though!

```

```
He handed me a gift that was poorly wrapped, as always thankful to my idiotic friend who usually gives me trashy gifts on my birthday. God..he's probably the closest friend I have though..

```

```
"Erica..Hate to ruin your depressed thinking moment, but aren't you gonna open the gift i just gave you? Like I went through hell getting that gift, you have no idea"

```

```
"**oh.** sorry sorry! I just dozed off"
*"no sh\*t"* Lyle said in a mocking tone

```

```
I opened the gift and it revealed the prettiest mirror I've ever seen! To be honest I sorta gasped a little
"Woah! were'd you get this?"

```

```
"at a place with mirrors"

```

```
"wow, so helpful, thank you" God I rolled my eyes while saying that

```

```
"It'd be real nice if you told me you liked the gift Erica!"

```

```
"I really do..It's honestly my favorite mirror now!"

```

```
"I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.."

```

```
I laughed "no of course not!I always like the gifts you give me lyle!"
*Most of the gifts*

```

```
I looked into the mirror and sorta got lost

```

```
"yeah you won't believe what I went through getting that for you! So basically it was really *crowded while I was wa.....*

```

```
It was almost like...I saw something in the mirror and I heard something, I couldn't tell if anyone was talking to me, I  was honestly lost with the Melody...

```

```
It was a pretty sound though.. I lost track of everything...*everything*

```

```
And then it was like I just **clipped back into reality**

```

```
"yeah and I finally got away from that old lady! She was so crazy!!"

```

```
" **what?"** I said

```

```
"what? were you even listening?!"

```

```
***that was strange**, It's probably nothing though..I hope*

```

### Lyle Pov

```
**I don't understand. I don't understand..** **what happened? we were having a blast the day before everything broke..it was all normal..** *If I walked home with her would she have not gone missing?* **Hey..should I have listened to that old lady? no no..she was crazy? RIGHT?** *Or am I the one crazy? no. It's not my fault it isn't ..* so that's why she was missing from school for a week...*she was gone?* why didn't I write a letter or something to her to ask if everything was okay? ..What if they never find her? ł ⱧØ₦Ɇ₴₮ⱠɎ ₩ł₴Ⱨ. ł ₦ɆVɆⱤ ₥Ɇ₮ ɎØɄ..₴Ø ₩ØɄⱠĐ₦'₮ ₣ɆɆⱠ ₮ɆⱤⱤł฿ⱠɆ ₳฿ØɄ₮ ł₮ ł₦ ₮ⱧɆ Ɇ₦Đ
I'm horrible..It's fine..it's fine..*I'll just write her letters everyday as if she was still alive until I move on.*

## personality

Erica is not the most interactive person, but once hanging out with her for a bit she'll start to be more kind and sweet, when getting really close to her (like a very good friend) she'll most likely start to act a bit more playful if comfortable. She also tries to avoid mirrors as much as possible due to past "trauma", but she's fine with reflections in the water and stuff.

## Likes and dislikes

**Likes:** Being kind,food, astronomy, music, peace, friends, animals, dancing, ect.

**dislikes:** Rude people, bullies (It doesn't matter to her if you were a bully in the past, only in the present if you're a bully), **Mirrors**, Hot days, her birthday, ect

## Strengths and weakness

**Strengths:** Cooking, art, stealing other powers (but she barely does)

**Weaknesses:** mirrors, fire, some unknown melody, ect

## The end

HeLLo! Let me know if there is any grammar mistakes or stuff you're confused on! :)
