I had to admit. I was quite worried... I didn't know why I felt so protective of these people. I just had to protect them. I didn't really know if I was going towards the right direction but I felt like I was. I just kept running but... it felt like I was off balanced. I blinked my eyes slowly coming back to reality. I stabilized my breathing in mere seconds. And realized my situation. I had bumped into Kataa... "Oh. Hi there Kataa!" I smiled giggling a bit. Okay everything should go accordingly now. But they might question me... I don't have time for that... I have to find the princess! I looked down at the pie. I had eaten about a third of it already. It tasted good to me. I never thought that I'd be one for sweets but I guess taste buds change. I sliced another piece for myself and put it down where I sat. "Please wait here a moment." I walked out of the room and grabbed a few sheets of paper. I came back with paper and a marker. I sat down and drew on a piece of paper a tick tack toe board. "Miss, please do you mind if your play a game of tick tack toe with me?" I asked with a monotone look. "Man Oro, captured...?" I sarcastically chuckled. "It doesn't seem like the type to be able to handle something like being held prisoner." But the topic changed to my death. But I'm still alive... Why though... Its probably too early to be killing me off. He needs me for something...So I can't die yet. I messed with my hair making it cover my eyes from her sight. "Thank you Yui. Besides being fearful for my life. I've been pretty good. Thank you for filling me in."

"Miss... I am to take you to a safer place." She didn't really say anything, really she didn't say anything the whole ride. It was easier than I thought. But that factor feared me. Today was a day off for everyone in the office. I was the only one besides the professor to have the key to the office so I wasn't worried about that. What I was more worried about was how to make her 'spill-the-beans'. We reached the office and went down the elevator. It was pretty dark even with the lights on. Everyone just liked it that way. I had her sit down in the break room. "Would you like a slice of pie? Its cherry."

...

"Yes, yes my Shimon is a hard worker. Thank you Yui." I could see my mother gleam, she was defiantly happy now. She couldn't meet that many people due to her association with me, being my mother. Dangerous people were always after me so trust was something she had to sacrifice. I told her many times that I could have her go to a retirement community. Her life there would've been more peaceful. But... even I knew... she wouldn't go. She stayed here with me, a life in danger. But she stayed for me... Dad left. She was handicapped, I was the only one there for her. I've saved money up for the day I could maybe get her eye sight back, then maybe I could live a new life with her... One were she can talk to others and make fond memories... I walked back to the kitchen finishing making the tea, once I did I handed Yui her tea. "Shimon I'm going to take a nap, have fun talking to your friend." "Okay Mom." I said as I sat down on a couch across from Yui. "Well nice meeting you Yui." She smiled before heading down the corridor to her room. "How is everyone Yui? I'm sorry I haven't been present."

I sighed, out of relief and fear. I was still stuck here. I couldn't handle sitting around doing nothing. Knowing that I was here, most likely they'll try breaking me out... And what is the most stereotypical break out time? Night. They're going to come here at night time... They don't know where I am in here. They might leave some evidence of themselves... Yui already did... I can't let them save me... I looked out and saw that the two guards were looking away from me. I saw that there were security cameras... I got up and laid down pretending that I was going to sleep but underneath the chair. Someone, carved a grid like picture and a down arrow pointing to the back wall and one of the squares where shaded. It can't be... Was he planning my escape this whole time!? He knew I'd be here!? That means... The professor knew about my 'spilling-of-beans'. Damnnit! I deeply breathed in and out. I definitely can't stay... I'm sorry Fiore... I twisted and turned pretending that I was uncomfortable. I stood up again sitting against the square, they never changed my clothes so I still had my gear. I maneuvered my fingers and put on my needle gloves. I unbounded my arms, which was unseen by the cameras. I then wrote behind me on the square, "I'll bring the princess." Then I took another deep breath. Escaping time. I looked up at the cameras and quickly flipped out my needles. Watching as all broke the camera's screen. I pulled out the square, finding a opening to a tunnel high enough for me to run. I spliced out and put back the square from the outside. I didn't know where I was, I saw very dim lights and started running along them. Until I reached a ladder. I climbed up and lightly pushed on the trapdoor above my head. I looked around... It was the park I took Yui to. But I saw in the distance. I was surrounded by trees. So I climbed out and hid behind the nature. There was a grass patch on top of the trapdoor and I closed it. Next to me was a bush and I saw a brown paper bag. I grabbed it. It was a full set of...my clothes... Now this was weird. This was too much. I quickly changed and put my asylum clothes back into the bag slipping it under the bush, incase I needed it again. Now to call off the mission... I started running towards the cafe.

I saw Yui staring a little bit at me, ​Was she observing me? But then her face became red, "Yea of course, you can come in... But are you sure you're not the one with a fever?" I placed my right hand on my forehead then my left hand on her forehead. "No... it doesn't seem like you have a fever... Come and sit down wherever you like, I'll make you some of my mom's special tea." I walked into the kitchen which was an open kitchen so my torso and up could be seen. I started getting the stuff to make tea, focused on my task. Then my mother walked into the room already placing the bat away. "Shimon will you introduce your friend to me?" My head popped out of the kitchen cabinet. "Oh yea." I walked over to my mom gently leading her to Yui. She was a little close but she wanted to see my friend. "Yui this is my mother, Isabella. Mom this is Yui." "Nice to meet you sweetie." My mother smiled, it seemed like she really enjoyed Yui's presence.

"Shimon." My mother entered my room again, the bowl of soup was gone. She must of taken it to the sink for me... "Yes, mom?" I looked up at her. "Someone is knocking on the door..." She sounded frightened. "Oh... I'll deal with it." I walked to my closet and put on a black and red jacket and I was already wearing black pants. I then brought my handy dandy baseball bat. Once in awhile people would show up at my house. None of them were friendly. I hid myself well, but once in awhile someone would track me down. Mom can't tell if someone is good or bad... she can't even make out their face... I walked to the front door my mother following but stood behind the kitchen counter. I looked through the key hole. "Oh." I looked towards my mother, "Its just my friend." She walked closer, "You made a friend?" "Yea...somewhat. Can you take the baseball bat back?" "Yes." I handed her the baseball bat and she slowly walked back to my room. I put on my 'poker face' before I opened the door, "Yui. What brings you here?"

His offer did seem sincere... However rule one is to not trust anyone. But... I need to find this 'Professor'... I'lll take things into my own hands... No one needs to know. I looked around checking just in case. I had no idea how much coverage this man had. He seemed to know everything... And that man...with the deep voice. He seemed to appear at all the right places... I grit my teeth again, "I'll help you find the princess. However I don't know where they've taken her. I just know they have her. And as for this 'leader' all I've gotten. Are these 'texts'. He she it calls themself the 'Professor' along with a silly name of Fluffalluffikins III. Seems like he has a partner in crime named 'Steve'. That's all I know." I looked at the offered hand. And laughed looking at my arms. "I can't really shake your hand with my arms bounded. Elbow will have to do." I stood up walked over and gently placed my elbow against his palm and maneuvered my elbow to simulate a 'shaking of hands' motion. I was to take her to my office? Wouldn't that seem suspicious? I don't think that my co-workers would know who she is... The professor is out today too... A day off it seems. I sighed, How am I supposed to make her 'spill the beans?' A tactical approach would probably be- Wait... Oro would normally do this job? It made it sound like the Professor had a history with Oro. And where was Oro? I haven't seen it... It was worrying but I found myself being dragged upstairs by Antonio. Mostly I was confused about the trainer and german Shepard thing until we reached the door. It made me realize what they meant. "Okay..." I sighed taking out my phone and directed my car to the back of the cafe. Then entered the room, "Excuse me..."

I let my gaze fall to the floor, sighing my fear away then staring into the eyes of the man questioning me. Clearly he has many worries. I did too. But I handled them differently... "They were thinking, 'I don't want to die.'" I grinder my teeth a little before speaking again. "They don't know whats going on. I don't know whats going on! You want answers and I want answers. I will help you. But in return 'they' have to live." I glared, I was serious. Neutral, it was where I stood. The place I belonged. I didn't know these people, and for sure I didn't get the greatest impression of them. But. I know they don't deserve to die. I need to stop this. I don't know who this 'Professor' is... but I... I hate this game of chess. Before Miss. Smith said anything, Antonio had came downstairs. I just stayed quiet incase Miss. Smith had anything to say. The Professor told me to take in the leader. But why me? And what were we going to go with this hostage... Too many questions and not many options I have for questioning. I would just have to wait for the next text from the Professor...

*is okay with that reality*

*questions all reality(if there really is one)*

The drive was like the usual. Calm, quiet, and a lot of attention. Women and mostly men stared at my sliver vehicle. Staring mostly in disgust that hid the jealousy within them. It only bothered me because I was one of them. I was brought up from the lower class and my parents worked for my education which I excelled at. Scholarships pushed my family up the classes. People hated me for my intellect, which I never noticed until I was older. But people in the rich class also despised me. So I began not to care. My job was to experiment. To observe, question, and then find something about it. I observed other people, I questioned them, I tested them, and I found something. That I should just stick to my job. But now... Now... What do I do about this group? What will is find... My eyes refocused on the road and I found myself passing the cafe... I tuned around and parked locking my car and got out, carrying one of the cases. And walking in, seeing the lady. "Oh Miss. Smith. You're here." I woke up again, feeling better still groggy though. The room felt a bit colder until the door opened and a warm breeze pushed out the chilly air. It was my mother she walked in with a bowl with oven mittens. The ones I had gotten her on her birthday. "Oh you're up. Good I have some chicken noodle soup for you." "Thanks mom... Is money short?" I asked as she approached me. "No. Not at all, we still have 3 reserves." She smiled warmly. I breathed out, relieved. "Okay good." "Please don't overwork yourself. I'm sorry I can't do anything..." She placed the bowl on the nightstand, almost missing. "Mom... " I had a worried look. Mom had skewed vision. She had lost an eye and most of the vision in her other eye. All because of a work accident. She took mainly housekeeper jobs when I was young. I just sat home waiting for her. They told me she, I quote 'tripped and fell on the wine cabinet'. But I remembered her having bruises on her body as well as cuts. I got them back in a game of poker the next day. They played dirty using cards from another deck in their pockets. But I still won. But I never got the money that could've saved my mother's eyes... "Come on now, your soup will get cold." She was still smiling," Okay mom..." I took the bowl and began sipping in guilt.

​The royal guard? Huh. I guess that's new information. But it was only a little drip that didn't satisfy my thirst. The walk to the asylum was quiet. I tilted my head down covering the sight of my observing eyes. I looked at all the details, we went down a few stairs, about 10. No windows. Guards everywhere. Fun. Once we reached the room I smelled the air. The air smelled of confinement and disease. The asylum was practically home sweet home. It wasn't like I never been in one before, I know how the system works. Just looking at the guard's clothes I could see their shifts, and patrols. I remembered how people thought I was insane, I just laughed. I've broken out of everything I got into. This is no challenge... I saw all the weaknesses. I walked into the room and sat comfortably in the chair. I sat there and smiled, "I don't appreciate being labeled as 'insane'. Specially since you have no real information about me. But if you want to talk then talk. There are no females here, so males first." Done! I was done! A little bit for everyone. Except Oro. Well because I didn't know what 'it' fought with. So I just didn't make anything. It was morning. Was it? I checked my phone and saw the text. 'The brains of the group?' Is he referring to me? Must be, judging by how everyone appears. I'm the only one with the most knowledge. Well knowledge pertaining to science and math. I grabbed the creations I made and put them carefully into a few cases. I went up the elevator not bumping into anyone, and got into my car. Setting my destination to the cafe...

Noice. I can't say where I am, the popo might find me.

Sounds like you had an entertaining time. Thats good.

Pretty good thanks. How about you?

Sup Ultimus.

Um. Currently? The ceiling.

Aw this was getting good... I saw Fiore's finger about to pull the trigger when party pooper Lord K told his to stop. I sighed. An asylum? Wow how rude. I'm not insane. I sat in the car. Looking at my cuffs in annoyance these things were getting on my nerves. I looked at Fiore. "I hope you don't mind that I'll take these cuffs-" The cuffs around my wrist slid off like butter. "Off. I don't like the feeling of my wrists suffocating." I stretched my arms out, "Don't worry I won't do anything. I have no reason to." I heard Fiore's comment. "Well friend. Does and audience read the script to the actors?" I smiled placing my elbow on the (the...side of the car thingy...idk whats it called) resting my chin on my palm. "If you want information, you'll have to trade with information." I grinned again. My situation was grim. But I was enjoying myself. Sure these people think I'm insane. I'm just tired. Tired of this boring life.

I felt Fiore's aggressive words pierce my back. I stopped walking. The guards tensing once again. "Excuse Oro. Oro forgot something." My face was parallel to the ground, but I tilted it up a bit. The guards to tense to react to my unpredictable behavior. I turned around flipping my head back up with a smile. A smile that hid always hid my internal thoughts. I calmly walked over to Fiore. I stood about 3 steps away from him. "People who die. All have a reason to die. Oro is a murder who has morals, friend. Oro isn't a threat. Oro is only a mere watcher. Oro's fun is in watching not in playing. And Oro has been watching." My hands were cuffed behind my back. I hopped and moved my hands to be in front of me. I changed my tone of voice, "I know you want to kill me." I held his hand with a gun putting his hands both on the gun. Putting his hand on the trigger, putting the safety off. And lifted to my forehead. "Kill me." I stared through his eyes then changed my gaze to a smile. I was ready to die. I always was. "I'm asking for a bullet in my forehead, friend."

I saw K's confusion in his eyes and body language. And his question only made me laugh. "Excuse Oro Lord K. But why would you worry about such a small detail about Oro? Oro thinks that's your last worry. But. Oro will tell you. Since Oro just wants to be friends with you." I smiled as I felt the cold metal cuffs 'click' around my wrist. Just the sound of the click told me this wasn't a hard lock to open. I opened my eyes as I began speaking again. "Oro simply doesn't have a gender." I looked straight into his eyes. "Now let Oro ask you! A question... Since it would only be polite since you and Oro friends... What's your next plan?" I made tension rise again when I make a shrugging pose. "Of course you don't have to tell Oro now. Just know Oro will get the information one way or the other. But... don't worry Oro won't tell. Interfering makes Oro's fun more boring." I motioned a zipper closing in front of my lips. "Then again you're probably too tired and fed up with Oro's introduction. So... Would you kindly take Oro to Oro's cell?" I looked at the other man who stood there. Fiore I believed. K's friend. Oro guesses he'll be Oro's friend too someday. ​He was interrogating me. But still with this thought in mind I just smiled and listened. Then spoke again, "Oro knows Oro's boundaries. Oro doesn't kill for no reason. No 'good' people were hurt trust Oro." I grinned again. -- Meanwhile -- "Honey!!! Have you seen our precious Oro!?!?!" (Mom) "No! I haven't seen her!" (Dad) "Where could he be?? He didn't tell us anything!" "Honey, I'm getting a call!" "Who is it?" "Its- wait a moment honey. Yes? Uh huh. Okay. Oh. Whew. I was worried. Thanks Dad. Whew Oro's just staying at my Dad's place tonight. He said his phone died and he didn't have his charger with him." "But I put it in his back pack..." "But at least we know she's safe." "Whew he scared me..." ​I knew of the mission everyone had. But the professor asked me to try experimenting things and create some special 'gifts' for the group tomorrow. Because he said they needed to be well equipped... "Well another long night to go..." Where am I? Am I dead am I alive...? Why does it feel like my body is rock... Wait... I sat up looking around. And saw a blurred out blob of a figure next to me. When suddenly I had arms wrapped around me. "AH!" "What is it Shimon?" Its was my mother. Whew. "Oh mom. Its nothing. What happened?" "You passed out because you had a fever." "What!?" "Yes... I was worried you slept for 2 days." "2 days!?" But then my stomach growled. My mom chuckled, "You want to eat?" "Yeah." I smiled. (fixed)

Idk maybe around... A week and a half? I haven't been hiding. Just not noticed. But nice to know someone can find me when I'm lost. Sorry friend. That's sad to hear. Well if it was the worse. It'll get better.

Yea. I'm breathing. I think. Heyo. /'_|)_/' / ( ^ - ^ ) ~hi

Whats a quota?

I held my hands in front of me. So this is his plan. Pretty risky deal he has set here. I didn't think he would send me here already. A change of clothes and a few accidents here and there and BOOM I'm here. "Let me answer you with a question, Lord K." I put my hands around my helm, the guard's trigger fingers twitching. "Why would you have a party with such an opportunity for an attack?" I dropped my helm revealing my character. I smiled, "Don't you think you should have more security?" I could feel the tension rising. I put my arms out and my hands in fists. "I know the drill come on, cuff me." I looked back to see if everyone left already. Hm maybe this worked more nicely than I though. I thought as I knew of my rough night to come... (I've been gone for a long time. Sorry!)
