Forever homeless - I couldn't resist.

[didntfallin]

Why did you bring me out here? You know I wouldn't be able to go to any of those games you're in. Let me go back home, okay? I don't know anyone out here.

I'm glad you liked the movie, but there isn't much to go on for me, remember? This is just a game to you, isn't it? Well, it's all right. I guess... but I don't find it very fun.

I don't know why you think I can see him again. He's gone... and it's my fault.

[ Jack's heart is beating faster than Tooth's wings. But how can he not talk to her? ]

Emma...

[didntfallin]

[ A glance up is all it takes - the resemblance to her brother is downright eerie. She must miss her brother more than she thought if she's seeing him in other people too. ]

You ...know me?

[ Mun, why are you looking so secretive. :I ]

[wintershepherd]

Of course I do.

[ He thinks about not telling her for about 0.3 seconds, but he knows he can't do it. His reactions would give it away even if he tried. He bends to one knee so he's at her height. ]

It's me, Emma. It's Jack.

[2cool4guardian]

[Nonononono he isn't ready for this!!! Why is she sad she isn't supposed to be sad she is supposed to be happy cute little girl and--

...wait, what?]

It wasn't your fault, Emma.

[didntfallin]

[ She doesn't even look up this time, shaking her head. Her parents told her the same, but... ]

It is...! If I hadn't asked him to go with me that day...

[2cool4guardian]

[He crouches in front of her, trying to find her eyes.]

...I'd have gone anyway. You don't really think I'd leave you alone in the forest like that, do you?

[jacksonoverland]

[He doesn't know what to do, to try and joke and say everything's okay or it's going to be? He knows it's not, he's been told what happens, after all. A deep sigh and he decides, kneeling down and pulling her into a gentle hug]

I'm here, Emma. Don't worry, okay?

[didntfallin]

[ She stiffens in surprise when she's pulled into the hug. By Jack. Her brother. The brother she loved so dearly and who... who she was never going to see again. She crumples into the hug, flinging her small arms around him. ]


Jack..! [ She didn't know how is was even a -little- possible he was here, but he was. He was back, right? Tears already starting to prick her eyes, she clung desperately to him. ]

Y... you're really ...

[jacksonoverland]

[Jack smiles slightly, since well he's trying not to cry too. Seeing her like this... it's hard. But he's got to be the strong older brother here and cheer her up, just like always.]

Yep. [He wipes a few tears from her face] It's alright.

[krampus]

You really shouldn't blame yourself for anything that happened kid.

I know a bad kid when I see one and you're not one.

[didntfallin]

But I dragged him out that day. If he had stayed home, or gone anywhere else, he wouldn't be ...

[krampus]

I don't know the situation but let me ask you this,

if you went alone what would of happened to you?

[inthemoon]

Oh, Emma. Don't be upset about Jack. He's not gone, not really.

[didntfallin]

[ Slumping on the ground, hugging her knees. ]

...because he's in my memory, right?

[ It's a poor substitute for the real thing. ]

[inthemoon]

Well, he is. But he's also very much alive. I made him a Guardian, so that he can continue to protect you and other children like you.

alskdfaksdnfadskfn :hugs:

[nipping_at_your_nose]

[He couldn't help but stare, that voice he knew it...somehow but from where]

Hey...do..do I know you?

(ooc: Oh please don't be forever homeless you should bring her to 3step XD)

Heehee! :hugs: ^^

[didntfallin]

[ ... that voice. That face. Why did it look so much like her brother's? ]

I... don't know. Who are you...?

(ooc: Ohgod, that is tempting but she's only had like, ten minutes of screentime. Doubt she'd be allowed anywhere T_T)

[kingofnightmares]

You poor child.

/scream D: OHGOD

[didntfallin]

[ For some reason, she tenses up at this man. ]

... who are you?

[memorycollector]

Oh, dear.

[Tooth swoops in close.]

You shouldn't think such sad things.

[didntfallin]

[ Meep - oh wait. What ... holy cow is that a fairy? The surprise at seeing Tooth all of a sudden actually distracts her from her sad thoughts for a second. ]

You don't think so? ... are you a fairy?

If you're interested, there's a Jack over at Gargleblasted, and Bunny here will be there soon too

[knightofhope]

[He doesn't really know who this is, but he can tell she's upset and his mun seems to know her. He approaches her carefully, ears a little low.]

Is everything alright, little miss sheila?

Oho :D

[didntfallin]

[ That. Is the biggest. Bunny. She's EVER seen. ]

Huh? I... [ No, she can't even pretend. Not even for a bunny. ]

...guess so. [ It's half a mutter, but she's curled up in a ball resting her chin on her knees. She can't even be delighted at the sight of the bunny. ]

[brushworkmother]

[… well.

maybe she can't do anything about that. but still, she can't leave this girl looking so sad.

she snuffles at Emma, tail twitching slightly.]

[didntfallin]

[ Emma looks up at the snuffling, blinking in surprise. ]

Oh ... hi there. [ She reaches out a hand cautiously because big puppy - also looking around for where the animal's owner might be. ]

Are you alone too?
