It's always here.... [OPEN!]

Candle was at the Nocturne Falls, listening to the water fall. It's loud noise was soothing, but to Candle, it was more thought-provoking.
"Why is it always here?" she said to herself. "How come I'm always here?"
She was crouched down, holding her legs, her chin rested upon the top of her knees. "I always see this place...."
Her mind flashes with many dark, disturbing images. Quickly they flashed, images of pain, suffering, blood, and.....
"It's always here," she shut her eyes tightly and almost started to cry. "My dreams....always lead me here..."

Armageddon was going to the falls; it was a nicce place for him to be. It was relaxing. No one was usually there, so that part wasn't a problem. When he arrived, however, and saw a small girl, he was caught offguard. Apparently he wouldn't do anything right away. He listened to her talk to herself, trying not to get caught in his own curiousity. Dreams? Was she a prophet? The boy listened, deciding that she wasn't going to say anything any furthur. He took a step out of his cover, and studied the girl for a moment. If she acknowledged him, then he may speak, but until then...

"Huh?" Kokoro quickly turned her head. She thought she heard someone, or something, nearby. And standing there, she saw a boy. Her eyes stared at him widely. 'How long has he been standing there? Was he hearing me talking to myself? What if he thinks I'm crazy?'
"I...ummm...was thinking...out loud..." she said quickly. "Ummm...usually no one comes here. And, um....well...." she wasn't sure what to say. She always felt like a nervous wreck. Why couldn't she be social like her sisters?

Armageddon listened quietly, taking in everything she had to say. "That's the reason I'm here, too. Normally no one is around. I like being alone." Armageddon studied the girl, shifting his weight over to his other foot. He had never saw this girl, which made him slightly nervous. The way that she spoke told him that she was extremely shy, probably wanting to get it over with. It was a good thing that he didn't act like his sister, that was for sure.

"I....like being...alone too," she replied. 'I wonder who this person is. I hope he's friendly. I don't feel scared around him, just my usual nervousness. Oh, I wish my sisters were hear!'
Kokoro quickly stuffed her hand in her bag beside her that contained her lunch, and pulled out a piece of bread. She quickly bit out a huge chunk of it, as if she had been starving for days. Kokoro realized this probably made her look like a savage in front of the stranger. Quickly, she dropped the bread and it fell on her lap. 'Oh...why am I acting so stupid?!

Armageddon watched, raising an eyebrow. Apparently she was either really hungry or... she was a freak. He was hoping for the hungry one. "Do you eat regularly?" Armageddon had that dumb look resting on his face, confusion mixed with curiousity. He wondered if the girl wanted more than just the little peice of bread. Armageddon was always willing to bring up a delicious batch of salad but only as long as no one was watching him. He liked his secrets.

Kokoro blushed in embarrasment. She had forgotten to eat breakfast, so this was her first thing she ate today. "I--I'm so sorry, I didn't eat breakfast, and I got nervous and hungry, and it doesn't really mix well..." she clenched her hands together and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry if I seem weird to you. I thought I was alone..."

Armageddon shook his head. "No, no. There is absolutely no need to be sorry. Believe it or not, I know how you feel." The boy shrugged and walked over to the water. It was so... nice here. It just made him want to be calm and serene all the time. Which was what normally occured. Without really wanting to, he seprated a tiny ball of water from the others. He messed around with it for a moment, before deciding that water was a decent way of air transoprtation, as long as one such as himself was good at multitasking.

"You don't seem weird at all. You haven't seen weird until you've met my sister." Armageddon smiled at the girl, trying not to be scary/creepy. It would probably be best if those two didn't collide and make her run away.

Kokoro stared with wide eyes as she watched him do something with the water. I wonder if he's also an Elemental.... she thought to herself. "Ummm.....I'm Kokoro," she blurted out, then she covered her mouth. "Oh, that was random. I'm sorry, but I thought it be best to introduce myself. Ummm....who are you?"
I hope I didn't already ask this question. I don't think I did. Nah, I'm sure I'm safe with this one....

Armageddon laughed. The nervousness of that girl was rather charming. Well, adorable, really, considering how old she was. "That's a pretty name. To answer your question, I'm called Armageddon." The boy shrugged and spun around. He studied the girl, trying his best not to seem scary. Hopefully she wasn't dangerous, or just trying to seem cute and unaware. Hopefully no tricks were being played. The boy turned back around and faced the falls. Sitting down, he removed his hobbit boots and stuck hi feet into the warm water.

"Armageddon?" Kokoro said with wide eyes. "That's an interesting name. Sounds kinda scary though....."
Oh, I hope I didn't offend him.... she thought to herself. "Oh uhh....but it really does suit you, yes!" she nods. She watched as he stuck his feet into the cool water. "The water is nice here," Kokoro said. But this is the place that always haunts my dreams...

"Considering how Armageddon is supposed to be a battle, I guess it could be a little scary." The boy thought this over for a moment, staring ahead. He kicked his feet, the water swishing between his toes. "I guess in some ways you could say that it suits me. Although I'm not really all that fond of fighting." The boy thought for another moment, listening to the girl. She seemed to be comfortable enough to talk, so apparently he didn't scare her. Which was both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you thought of it. In response to her last comment, Armageddon nodded. The water was nice in a lot of places, mainly where it was warm.

"I always feel at home around water. It really soothes the soul. It really helps to go down to the ocean when you're feeling sad or angry. But perhaps that just works for me."

"I like...being around water, too..." Kokoro said nervously. A slight smile sprawled across her face, and she was beginning to feel at ease now. Yes, she was at ease. Very comfortable, in fact. She then laid on her side and curled up, and fell into deep thought. Still, her thoughts were still upon her dream, a haunting subject, which robbed her of this one moment of peace. 'Still, it's always here...'

Armageddon studied the kid. Who was she and what was her purpose here? Perhaps it was just or peace. The boy swished around in the water, thinking. He wasn't thinking about aything important, however. He was thinking about random little things, the things that make one's mind wonder. Like where bugs come from. And what came first, the chicken or the egg? Those kind of little things that a lot of people blew off and could care less about. It wasn't long before he was just sitting there, still, staring off in space. At least the girl didn't mind silence.

'It's really quiet..... she looked over toward Armageddon, who seemed to be peaceful just sitting there, probably in deep thought as she was. 'I better not bother him; besides, talking to my problems with a stranger is.....well, perhaps not polite.'
She wondered for a moment how her two sisters made friends. Being social was so easy for them, and poor little Kokoro was confused how to approach someone, to "break the ice" as the saying goes. She wasn't all that confident. But maybe, just maybe, if she tried.....
"Ummmm..." she suddenly said. "I was....uhhh....just wondering...."

Armageddon raised a black brow and looked at the girl. He smiled lightly, wondering how she would finish. "Just wondering about what?" Kids were so cute. He needed to have one. The boy studied Kokoro for a moment, before looking back at the falls. She probably didn't like to be stared at. He knew he didn't. Armageddon made sure that he didn't get lost in thought, that way he would hear her if she chose to respond. Hopefully she wouldn't mind getting a conversation started. That way he wouldn't have too. Thinking could be boring.
