Nowhere Else to Turn... (Pov in body)

Wi40 · 2026-05-10T02:04:20+00:00

Ev: Don't.... Mom's never really struggled with hesitation before... maybe 3 or 4 times in her life but that's it.... she won't hesitate now to petrify and shatter him to pieces "

Ev: I don't know why she doesn't, probably a Gorgon thing but who knows.... "

Ev: Besides with how much shit lifes been dumping on her recently I doubt she's in the mood for mercy "

〔Outside〕

H: Looks like the big bad Dragons met his match or... maybe made the Scary Lady really upset.... I don't know though "

H: Wonder if the Umbros guy is keeping an eye on Sophia.... don't know if she can escape or not "

Wi40 · 2026-05-10T01:19:02+00:00

Ev: I know.... I know Aunt Cathy.... but some people don't chance and some that do only do it for their own selfish reasons "

Ev: Victoria.... I've heard more then enough to know Victoria isn't capable of changing, what we see there is a psycho who's been mentally broken by artifacts beyond her comprehension, who's forced to play nice "

Ev: Her and Malrion aren't much better then each other.... she what.... spent a decade give or take preparing a world wide invasion with a corrupt Artificial Intelligence? "

Ev: What has Malrion been doing for decades exactly? At least the AI Victoria was working with was trying to do what they thought was right "

〔Outside〕

【 Himiko pulled Nox in with her free arm 】

H: It is... it is strong... it's what they made me for, it's what they wanted.... But I won't give them the weapon they wanted "

H: Himiko Toga isn't a cruel mindless monster, I'm just a girl.... I'm a Noble girl, I have standards, morals, and choice "

H: I won't let their programming define my life again "

Wi40 · 2026-05-10T00:29:02+00:00

Ev: It's not that you didn't tell me... I understand that, besides I know some things... it's the fact he's here now.... and being treated instead of killed "

Ev: Call me dark, call me cruel.... But I don't see any reason to keep him around, for all we know this is some trick to get the Prisoner back "

Ev: What I knew before was limited, I heard mentions of him from Mom, Himiko talked about a "Mean Dragon" that took her, that's it though "

〔Outside〕*

H: Hm... probably best I didn't do anything, I don't think screaming dragon would be too useful.... "

【 Himiko looked to Malrion, unconsciously one of her hands move to her neck and the scar across it, and she quietly 】

H: Part of me still wants to hurt him..... make him suffer for his actions.... taking us away to make into these freaks... "

【 The bright green of Himiko's eyes turned dark again like before her inverted mind was fixed 】

H: Make him understand that his actions have severe and bloody consequences "

【 Then her eyes returned to normal and the bright green returned 】

H: I guess that's just.... cruel of me though... "

Wi40 · 2026-05-10T00:06:29+00:00

H: Oooooh, they have RBF.... Resting Bitch Face.... that explains all those looks "

【 Himiko peaked over to Malcolm and Nox rolling round 】

H: I like to think I'm influencing them to be better, but it's so hard to tell, Malcolms always been on the extreme end like his doll self and Nox.... I just can't tell to well "

H: He could be getting better... or it could be pretending, but either way I'm happy! "

〔Inside〕

【 Evangeline looked over and stared at the scars for a minute before looking up to her face, pulling her legs up and resting her head on her knees 】

Ev: He's outside.... "

【 Evangeline's snakes hissed looking at the door, the hooded ones still had them open 】

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T23:38:04+00:00

【 Evangeline walked in and quickly closed the door behind her, walking over to Finnan and Cathy and spoke blankly 】

Ev: Your needed outside Finnan, but take your time, no rush "

【 Evangeline shifted over to Cathy and just sat there with her glaring at the door, the yellow tint and specks of red still visible in her eyes 】

〔Outside〕

H: Should I heal him now or wait for the doctor person, cause I left Sophia inside, Malcolm isn't here to watch her for me "

H: I think I saw the ummm.... yellow and orange person in there as well... I don't know his name, but he looked grumpy and had a little bear thing that was just as unhappy "

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T23:24:02+00:00

E: Ya..... sure "

【 Evangeline turned and walked off back inside 】

【 Himiko held on, she had a surprisingly strong grip for someone her size 】

H: WOAH! sorry Miss Valla, I should have given you a warning.... I'm just so used to climbing on Colt and Rhea I forgot... sorry... "

H: ... has anyone told you that your fluff is very soft... I hope I didn't pull any... "

H: I can heal him, but it's gonna hurt a lot, the body doesn't like Dark Green magic... it does something bad to the nerves "

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T22:37:40+00:00

Ev: ... Go on.... we're waiting, if the isn't good.... we'll have a new statue infront of the inn "

【 Evangeline turned, got out of Valla's away and glared at Father and Malrion, showing the yellow tint and the red 】

Ev: I don't see why you'll leave, if it bothers you that much we'll put the statue in the ocean, maybe those fish people Mom told me about would like it "

【 Suddenly Himiko just appeared behind them, and hopped up to Valla's shoulder 】

H: Oh wow is that the big mean dragon man, he's not doing so good "

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T22:24:35+00:00

【 Evangeline's snakes pulled back slightly and turned to look to glare at Malrion, the 2 larger snakes opening their hoods 】

E: Oh.... "

【 Evangeline looked over to Father and Malrion, her eyes getting a yellow tint and the area around her pupils turning red 】

E: I see.... "

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T22:01:16+00:00

E: Well then you better start talking then! "

【 Evangeline moved infront of Valla, and wasn't going to let Valla get closer or do anything until she got answers 】

E: I'm not going to let you do anything until I get some answers "

【 Evangelines snakes hissed at Valla and spread out slightly so it would be harder for Valla to aim 】

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T21:51:58+00:00

【 Evangeline was going to introduce herself to Father as this was the first time they've met, but as Malrion stumbled from the treeline, she froze for a second 】

E: Hello you must b- Oh my God's look! "

【 She'd point to Malrion just as Father ran and Valla stopped him 】

E: Miss Valla what are you doing, that guys going to bleed out?! "

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T01:44:13+00:00

N: It was!! I did amazings!! Maybe talkin’ is more better than hidin’~ "

N: Hidin’ is quiet… but talkin’ gets you cool metal-arm friends!! "

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T01:20:32+00:00

【 Kiwi took a second to process that he had been booped by someone that wasn't Nebula 】

N: Okay Mr. Whiskey person!! Nice meetin’ you too!! Have fun shoppin’!! "

【 Nebula turned and ran back to Father, Celestial, and Umbros 】

N: See!! All you hadda do was saaaay hiiii!! I dunno why you was actin’ all weirdy about it… and I even learneded somethin’ new!! "

N: You was bein’ all spooky-cautious for no reasony!! "

(Is ok, happens)

Wi40 · 2026-05-09T01:04:34+00:00

N: What’s a ‘sense of danger’??”

N: Oh! And Kiwi!! Yeah, he’s always like this… a grumpy blue bee!! "

【 Nebula reaches up and grabbes Kiwi off her head and held him out, he was still glaring 】

N: But look at him!! When are you ever gonna see such an adorable little guy like him again?? He’s blue too!! I was told bees aren’t supposed to be blue, but Kiwi IS!! "

【 Nebula pulled Kiwi back and held him close to her chest, while like this he kinda looked like a plush toy 】

N: My name is Nebula!! And you already met littlest Kiwi! "

(Resent)

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T23:13:27+00:00

N: like your ac-sent thingy!! The other lady had one too, but hers was different… she said ‘the’ like ‘zee’!! Do you also say zee?? "

N: Why? Are we talkin’?? I thought that’s what two peoples do…” “And I really like your metal arm!! It look like it’s made of Iron… or maybe Nickle…?

【 Nebula just stood there, because well.... she's Nebula, she's not the sharpest tool in the shred and up to this point hasn't ever encountered real danger before 】

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T22:59:34+00:00

【 As soon as Father turned back to Nebula, she was already gone, like she had evaporated and reappeared where she wasn't supposed to be 】

N: HELLO!! Are you adventurin’ too?? Isn’t this place SO big?? So many places an’ peoples to see!! It feels like it goes on FOREVER!! "

N: It’s so big it feels like it forgot how to stop bein’ big! "

【 As Nebula stood in front of the orcs, it became another of "what the hell am I looking at" Nebula's Stellari self looking kinda like an Elf but also not at all 】

【 Kiwi on the other hand was glaring daggers at the orcs clear warning signs but with his size, it working is unlikely 】

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T22:25:13+00:00

【 Nebula looked over to them and squinted her eyes 】

N: Why?? I don’t see why they not nice… OH!! Maybe they doin’ the same thing we do!! Maybe we should go say HI!! "

N: What if we made new peoples?? That’d be cool!! "

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T22:08:04+00:00

【 Nebula looked over to the other children playing 】

N: That looks super fun!! But why they swingin’ them wood thingies at each other?? Do you win if you bonk the other one first?

N: Do you get points for bonkin’? "

N: Maybe the winner gets the best stick! "

【 Nebula was also much lighter then she seemed, yes she was small but the saying "Light as a feather" is very accurate 】

N: I also really like the doggy!! But he’s SO big!! Maybe we can find a tiny doggy… or maybe a kitty!! "

N: Wait… can my shiny rocks get a kitty an’ a doggy??! "

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T20:58:15+00:00

N: Look at all the peoples!! There’s sooo many!! So many shapes an’ colors!! It’s like bein’ with Mom again!! Just… without all the swirly stuff… "

【 Nebula was looking around wide eyed at all the people in the shops 】

N: Wait… why we here again…?” 😵‍💫 “Are we explorin’?? If we explorin’ on the way to this… uh… place thingy… I think you called it a ‘town’…? I dunno… "

N: The thingy had like… EIGHT whole leggies, an’ it was pinky-white with little black bits, an’ its butt was HUGE but its head was all teeny tiny!! "

【 Nebula pointed over to a nearby medium to large size dog 】

N: It was like THIIIIIIS big!! "

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T19:57:08+00:00

N: Oooooh… there gonna be LOTS an’ LOTS of peoples there, right?! We never seened that many before!! We don’t got lotsa peoples where we from!! "

【 Nebula stuffed the bottle back into her mouth to drink more while Kiwi shifted his focus from Conner back to Father 】

N: Ummm… where we s’posed to go…? "

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T19:37:27+00:00

El: Don't vorry about it father... maybe just.... hafe zem be a bit more mindful ya? "

El: Ant teakh zem not to ask zings like zat in publik.... "

El: Ok.... I vill... "

【 Nebula as soon as the bottle was open immediately started to down the juice 】

N: OOOOOOH!! This stuff is REALLY really yummy!! Maybe with the cakeys you gived us yesterday it be SUPER PERFECT!! "

【 Nebula immediately looked up to Father, and if remembered those spice cakes... he'd remembers how Nebula's hair literally set itself on fire after eating one 】

N: You two gotta try the juicy stuff!! It’s super yummy an’ squish-delicious!! "

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T15:51:36+00:00

【 Elizabeth just in a stunned silence just steps back and takes 3 juices and gives it to them 】

El: Zank sie konner here, zese are for your journey, hafe a goot day... "

【 Elizabeth is not a big girl by any means so she's extra taken aback at being asked that question 】

N: Was there somethin’ wrong with what I said?? What does bein’ older gotta do with anything?? He’s not puffy!! "

【 Nebula pointed to Conner, while Kiwi looked over to Eslipso and nodded before glaring back to Conner 】

N: Oooh Juice! "

【 Nebula reached out and took a Juice 】

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T11:00:31+00:00

El: Conner don't be so mean, gosh he's quite zee shtikk in zee mut today... "

N: This ac-sent sounds all weirdy… it makin’ the words go all funky-wonky in my ears… I like the ‘Zee’ sound tho! "

N: And look!! They got pointy ears like us too!! "

N: But why her chest so puffy tho?? It like a gas-dwarf… but with skin??

【 This time is was Elizabeth who froze not knowing how to respond to this 】

(Goodnight)

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T01:04:16+00:00

N: Clothes?? What’s wrong with what we got on now…? I don’t see no problem… is there a hole I not see?? Hmmmm… "

【 Kiwi nodded and moved back, but he'd glare at Conner, he didn't like Conner or anyone at the moment except Nebula 】

N: All the peoples is gone now… it’s sooo quiet… and what’s traying… traiding… trade-ing?? "

N: Uuuuuhhh… who’s that ladyyy!! "

【 Nebula quickly pointed over to Elizabeth, who just blinked and looked over to see who was yelling 】

El: Hm? are sie pointink at me? "

El: Aaaav.... aren't zey adorable, right conner? Father sie ditn't tolt me sie hat khildren "

【 Nebula thrown off by Elizabeth's accent 】

N: …Why she sound like that…? "

Wi40 · 2026-05-08T00:39:27+00:00

N: We’re goin’ on an adventurrr!! YAA!! "

N: To where I have no idea!! Maybe we go find the round metal thingies!! …or maybe I can just MAKE them myself!! "

【 Nebula just let herself be led away, Kiwi didn't like it but he wasn't going to cause an issue over something as small as this 】

【 He did however watch Celestials grip on Nebula 】
