Midnight Festival (closed)

[Faust]

He felt as if something was wrong, as if he had said something wrong. He gave a soft sigh before drinking again from his bottle and setting it on the ground. He really didn't know what to say next so he just started talking more. “Yea me and the old lady go way back. She always had a habit of chasing off any girl I brought to shop there. Always saying I could do better. She acts as if she was my own mother, but I guess that's fine. You should of seen her face when I snapped at her for saying that you wouldn't last....I mean.... yea I wasn't the best with keeping girls around, but I never felt like any of them were worth keeping, well till I met you.”

[Karisa]

Her heart was rather needled as she heard him use the words such as 'worth keeping' and such. What did he mean by that? Why was it hurting to think of it? Was she...even worth keeping in the future? She thought about how her father was coming to kill her...because of the fact that perhaps she wasn't worth space and so he wanted to get rid of her...A lot went through her mind in that moment that felt like for hours even though it was a couple minutes. ''I see...'' she spoke coldly and lowered her gaze still looking away from him as her face was on the other direction. ''So...why me? What if some other girl walks around and interests you? Will I be not worth keeping as well?'' she spoke in frustration as she stood up, grabbed her suitcase as Naku went on her shoulder. She quickly looked at him as her eyes watered and then away as she then slowly walked away. She didn't know where, but she needed to think and to do so she kind of wanted to be somewhere else.

[Faust]

“What, no I mean that....” He wanted to say that, that wouldn't or couldn't happen, but he knew that he couldn't keep a promise like that. The way the world worked, the way it was things changed and he didn't know who he would meet or what would happen. As he saw the tears in her eyes he acted. He got up and wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. “Don't go, I know I hurt you, but please don't go. It's ok, I know I messed up, so be angry at me, yell at me,hit me, stab me with one of your needles, but don't go. Karisa, I'll tell you one thing here and no that I haven't told anyone. I hate seeing the hope in your eyes go out.”

[Karisa]

Karisa would start walking away although was stopped by an embrace. It felt warm, secure, but the fact of feeling the future betrayal, killed her. His arms were around her waist that was bounded by strictness, close to her heart bounded by hatred and harm as honestly...she didn't know what love was deep inside making her argue with what was somewhat logical. Did he care for her? Would he betray her in the end like her dear beloved family? Her eyes of red and blue would stare into a blank road as she wouldnt be looking at anything. Her head tilted forward as she whispered. ''...Hope...the hope that I have left? For what? That I don't get betrayed once I start trusting again? Like my own family did to me?''. She then just stayed silent within this silent night as she didn't know much more to say as she has said enough.

[Faust]

There it was, that's what he needed to know, she had been betrayed by her own family and now she couldn't trust anyone. So he knew what he needed to do. “I am a betrayer, I get joy out of seeing the world fall apart from the inside. To see that the world will crumble and new things will arise out of that I get enjoyment out of that . Earning someone's trust and then watching their face when I take it away from them fun for me...... but with you I don't get that feeling. I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to see you suffer. I want you to know that you are the one person I won't betray because it feels like that would be the the only one that would hurt me. Don't you get it.... Karisa I want to make you happy. I want to see you be happy. So there..... I told you everything..... Do you still not trust me?”

[Karisa]

Her eyes looked away as her right eye has teared. As she stood there, felt his arms and heard his rant/plea. She heard him explain how he was, but does that make him any better? That's be like her father saying he wasnt going to betray her and then try to kill her. Her heart felt like it was splitting into two as her brain was becoming a mess in thought. Her heart beated as it was in pain. Could she trust him? Could she at least try? Karisa took a deep breather before getting too deep into the darkness as her hatred would devour her. She had to start somewhere...is it here? She had to think for a bit as she let the warmness cover up her cold feeling. ''I...I don't know...I can try.'' she speaks coldly and softly as she then spoke again. ''this once...'' as she ended her first sentence. Karisa wouldn't know what to say as she just kept silent and looked up at the full moon there was there...humming.

[Faust]

He smiled as he turned her around so she could see his face, there were a few tears in his eyes as he brought her close to him for a warm embrace. He held his head over her shoulder as he let the few tears fall from his eyes not wanting her to see them. He had been worried that he would of lost her, lost her for good. His gamble had payed off and he was so happy. Pulling back from the hug he lifted his glasses with one hand to wipe the remnants of the tears before he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips.

[Karisa]

She was turned and in an instant she was looking into his eyes. Her mix colored eyes would look into his golden eyes as she saw some mist dew upon his glasses. He'd wipe them and soon after that she could tell what he was going for. As soon as he was close enough she would turn her head as his warm lips would kiss her cheek. She soon chuckled as she stepped back then and looked at him with a smile. ''Not this time.~'' she teased and giggled as she then picked up his bottle and started to drink it. Maybe he is worth giving her trust over to...who knows.

[Faust]

He couldn't help but giggle at her stopping his kiss, with her now appearing to enjoy getting kissed on the side. As she took the bottle from him he teased her “hey now, isn't that sort of an indirect kiss there~” He would pick her up with his arms and slowly walk back to the tree that they had been sitting under so that they could move past what had happened and enjoy the rest of the night that laid ahead. Once back at the sakura tree he sat down with her in his arms. “So you still have to ask a question~”

[Karisa]

She giggled as she flailed a tiny bit by getting picked up by him and then they would sit back down. She would drink more and almost at her limit since her huge bottle was already empty and contained a lot of percentage of alcohol. Karisa would lean back against him and purred as she played with the bottle a little. ''Alright! How about...'' she started and then she would look left and right as she was almost at her stage of drinking where she couldn't feel anything. ''What's your past story?~'' she asked somewhat drunkly and kind of didn't really think twice on the question. She now was at the stage of just speaking out what was on her mind.

[Faust]

With her in his lap purring he relaxed a bit as he heard her question. “My story? Hmmm you mean how I came to the digital world or what I was doing before had? Either way I grew up in Tokyo, my dad was an American teacher, my mother one of his former students. I lashed out a lot, they put me in kendo and other sword training skill places. At sixteen I stole a bike and never looked back. The digivice was something I just found one night walking home drunk. I thought I could pawn it later on for cash and well here I am.” His hands went down to trace her's and hold them as he nuzzled up against the side of her neck. “So anything you're hiding from me that you don't want me to know?”

[Karisa]

She looked up at him as she heard him say his short story. It was really short compared to hers. She'd probably make her story short as well, but it was quite alright as he then started to ask if there was anything she was hiding. She took the bottle and then started to drink more of it leaving only three gulps left. Karisa felt the need to really feel drunk during this. She took a deep soft breather as she then started her short story. ''Soooo...I lived in a family that killed people, family died, adopted by a mother who was strict...So strict she would bound my body in wraps to where I'd have nightmares when I don't have them on and because she made me believe that beauty is a petite body.'' she started to explain with a soft soothing but drunk tone. ''I got home from school one day...I was awarded for musical stuff and saw a man tower over my adoptive mother...and well..you can picture what happened there. I ran up stairs and Naku there only spoke to me by voice as I never really saw him till twelveish. I set up a trap to where the guy that did stuff to my mother would trip, stabbed him with a screwdriver into his skull, hid in my fathers room to end up finding a gun to end up shooting well...my real father.'' she spoke and then looked away. ''Finally after that at the age of I think nine I was sent to an insane asylum that I escaped at I think twelve...thanks to Naku...So now I'm just...wandering I guess...'' she lastly said before drowning herself into the last bit of the alcohol...thinking..

[Faust]

He was taken back by her life story, it seemed so complicated and intense even though she had shorten it down to a few sentence. However he got the jest of most of it. He really did feel sorry for her, and in his somewhat drunken state said something that he normally wouldn't of. “Stop wandering around you can use my place as a home, but I want to hold you each night deal?” He looked down at her wondering if there was anything left of his drink for himself. He had only a bit of it before she had stolen it from him.

[Karisa]

She would listen to him once again although what he offered kind of surprised her. He was offering her to stay at his place? She kind of thought and then bursted laughing after getting up with the bottle in her hand that she noticed was a whole different bottle. ''W...why not just yknow...'' she started to softly speak and giggled again as she was wabbling a little drunk. ''Stay at my place? Cause...I would probably end up killing everyone at your area.'' she spoke and chuckled as she then stopped and stood straight looking at the moon. ''The soul within the sun...is so beautiful when it's full. They say that...the moon was firstly and obviously the lover of the sun..the female in this case.'' she started to ramble drunkly still and softly. ''But then another one got jealous and had them seperate so the sun was sent further away and once every so many years they get to see each other...and the moon and sun aline...turning their love red which we call the eclipse.'' she then chuckled. ''Sorry...guessing you find it stupid.'' she spoke, turned her head a little to look at him and smile a little. She would look at the moon though and think.

[Faust]

He chuckled at the idea of him actually moving to where she lived. From what he had known about her past he assumed that she really didn't have a home. Still before he could answer she went off about a story of the moon and the sun being lovers. He had heard tales about that before and decided to chime in. “Ahh you see, but the story is a bit more sad than that, as you see the sun is so bright and strong that he must die each night for his love the moon to breath. So every night he slowly dies just so that the suffering of his love would end. It's a romantic story.” He smiled at Karisa wondering what she would do or say given that he chimed in, in a rather strange way.
