 There is a festival going on in-front of you but you don't have the mood to join in the celebration. An unknown feeling had been boiling up in your chest since your friend Darrel stood you up a couple of days ago. You have had difficulty getting in touch with him afterwards. You knew this wasn't his style, yes he had played pranks on you before by disappearing for a few days. But you could always track him down if you made an effort to, perhaps he had made it easy for you. This time, there was nothing that suggested this. He left no traces behind his path, you find anything at all. It frustrates you because it's like he vanished. "Come on, the master is waiting for us." You hears a voice behind you, instinctively you turned around and met the eyes of Darrel. He was wearing a weird outfit that wasn't part of his usual style. He looked up and met your eyes but made no effort of acknowledging you. Instead he smiled at you eerily before turning around and left the festival grounds. So what will you do? |

| Nana stood there in shock. After worrying and worrying, there her friend was- standing in front of her as if nothing had happened. As if he hadn't stood her up. Not only that, but he also seemed different. Looking at Darrel made her itch with nervousness. His mention of a 'master' shook her curiosity, and without thinking, Nana reached out towards him, following him. "Wait!" she called out. "Darrel, wait up!" She left the festival grounds alongside him. |
 |
 The man who you called out to disregarded your calling, his pace was faster than usual. After a good-old 20 minutes of walking, he finally stopped at a huge Sakura blossom tree. It was one of the places you had fond memory of him with you. He was next to the tree when you finally catches up to him, feeling a little out-of-breath, you looked at him. He seems to notice that you'd been following him, with his left hand on the tree trunk, he asked in a stern and serious voice (which surprises you), "Who are you and why are you following me?" |
鏡花水月 |
| Breathing heavily, Nana looked up at Darrel, her eyes wide. He had stopped at such a place- one where they shared memories at. It seemed like he was back to normal, but then his mouth opned, and he asked her who she was. She almost gasped, but was too surprised to actually make any sounds. Did he have amnesia? Was he mad at her? Or was this something else? Something bigger.. "D-Darrel? I'm Nana... your friend. You told me a 'master' was waiting for us." She was confused, sure, but now she felt something new. A consciousness towards evident danger. |
|
"You've mistaken me." Darrel stated flatly as he walks past you. "And for the record, I don't know any Nana in my life. So now if you excuse me, I have matters to attend to." You watches as he left the scene, something is nudging you. You are absolute sure that this is the Darrel you know, but for reasons unknown, he is refusing to acknowledge you. Is this another prank of his? It's time to find out. |
鏡花水月 |
| Nana grabs onto Darrel's arm, unable to let him get away. "Nuh-uh. I'm not letting your out of my site." She pushed his body up against a tree, her arm against his throat. Whether it was a joke or not, she never let anyone to talk to her so dismissively. And although immediate physical contact could be bad, getting irritated quickly is quite normal for her- which he should have know if he was in his right state of mind. She grabbed his chin and made him look her in the eyes, so she could see if he was being absolutely serious. "Now look here, Darrel. I'm your friend. Now tell me what's up, because I don't enjoy my time being wasted." |
|
Darrel felt disgusted at the close proximity between the stranger and him. "And I don't enjoy been touched by strangers either, that makes us even." Pushing her away from him, he exhales the breath that he had been holding in so long. He loathes the idea of physical contact, opposite gender or not. It makes him have the strong urge to throw up. "Nana's your name right? Now look here, I am not your friend. You got messed up with another person with the same name. Whoever you are, I don't know you. So please just leave me alone, before I become nasty." He proceeded to walk away from you. You watches as he leaves, what just happened? And what will you do? |
鏡花水月 |
| "Become nasty?" Nana mumbled, laughing to herself. "Darrel would never hurt me," she told herself, walking towards him yet again. This time, though, she didnt use her words to stop him. She stomped her foot on the hard ground in an outward motion and within a split second, a tall wall of hard Earth elements rose in front of the boy. She walked closer to him, pointing her finger at him. "Tell me what you did with Darrel. Now," Nana demanded, watching him intently incase he tried to run away. |
|
The man watches with amusement as a wall was created within a blink of an eye. He had heard that there people with abilities like that and to witness it first hand is certainly a first for him. Darrel scowled at the physical contact, this is one stubborn lady. He grabs your wrist and fling it away from you, causing you to stumble. "I am Darrel, but I have no idea what you're trying to prove over here. It's settled and stop following me right this instant." |
鏡花水月 |
| Nana scoffs at him flinging her wrist. Whatever was happening, it was still Darrel's body. She couldn't seriously harm him, even if she really wanted to sock the kid in the face. Rolling her eyes, she stepped away from him, letting the tall rock wall collapse to the floor. She wiped her hands on her clothes and then lifted her head to look at him. "Right this instant?" Nana repeated, laughing. "What are you gonna do about it, little boy?" Those words used to bother him before, so she hoped they'd bother him now. Maybe he was still the same as before.. |
|
"Little boy?" Darrel frowned deeply at the mention of that phrase. "Get lost, you're annoying." Seeing that you don't have the intention to back away, he sighed internally and rubbed his temples. "Really, why are you bugging a stranger like me? I mean I didn't do anything offensive to deserve this treatment." |
鏡花水月 |
| Shaking her head, Nana took in the boys facial features yet again. Every single detail was the same as Darrel, so she had no doubt that this is what she had to do. Annoy him and pester him 'til she got another clue. She smiled when he called her annoying. That, at least, sounded a bit more like him. "You're not a stranger, that's why I'm bugging you." But instead of dwelling on that fact, she continued replying to him. "You're right, you've done nothing bad. But has it ever occurred to you that maybe I'm right? I know you, Darrel. I wouldn't lie about it. And I think something or someone erased your memories.." |
|
His brows remained knitted as you continued your speech. "Ah huh, knowing someone's name does not qualified as knowing someone. You do understand that, don't you? But according what you're doing now, maybe not so." Darrel paused to inhale before he presses on, "How would I know what benefits are there for you to lie to me. And my memories are mine only, don't go into that topic." |
鏡花水月 |
| Nana shook her head, smirking. "See, the fact that you still think I'm a stranger proves something happened to you. I know you don't want to trust me, but you really should, before you get hurt.." She leaned back against the tree and tilted her head at him. "I'm allowed to go into any topic I want to, especially if it's true." She emphasized on her next words. "You are not yourself, and that's a fact." |
|
Darrel was getting more upset as the clock ticked. "Ah huh, so having a stalker up your neck is a good thing to have? Getting hurt? I know how to defend myself, so thank you for your concern. I am very much myself right now. I don't know what your motives are for making this up. But I've had enough of it already. You don't have anything that supports your statement." He remains still, crossing his arm and raising his brows. |
鏡花水月 |
| Nana, like her usual self, wasn't getting ticked off or annoyed at all. She was in business mode, all of her expressions only meant to get information out of the one who called himself Darrel. She shook her finger in the air. "Nuh-uh, not a stalker. Like I said, a friend. Someone who's on your side." She ignored the contents of his long, welcomed speech, and smiled up at him in a friendly manor. "Tell me, Darrel, do you even remember what you were doing yesterday?" |
|
"Ah huh? A friend? Don't make me laugh. And so what if I do or do not remember what I was doing yesterday? Does it play an important role? I'll do anything to have you leave me alone." Darrel replied with mock interest. |
鏡花水月 |
| Nana stuck out her tongue. She's decided not to take his words to heart, even if they heart coming from the mouth of her close friend. "Yeah, okay. I get it. You don't know me as your friend." She looked at his face intently, her eyebrows raising. "What do you mean, so what? Remembering what you did yesterday should come easily, right? Then explain to me what you recall." |
|
"Indeed it is easy, but that doesn't mean I am willing to reveal it to you." Darrel crosses his arms and replied in his bitter voice. His eyes were throwing daggers at you. |
鏡花水月 |
| "Mhm, how peculiar, I'd say," Nana said sarcastically. Even if he did remember, and she was completely wrong, it was still good to prod and annoy as much as she could. It was good strategy... sometimes. Nana laughed. "Don't look at me that way, Darrel!" She touches his nose lightly, then takes her hand away quickly before he could slap it. "I'm your friend, remember?" Of course he knows that's what she thinks... she's said it about a hundred times now. |
|
"Is your record broken or something, you are simply repeating the same thing over and over again. If you aren't tired by now, I am. And the answer is not going to change with the number of times you are saying it. I don't know you. So would you be please just let me go? I have much better things to do." Darrel looked at you and said. |
