Death in High Heels

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Down the hallway comes the staccato rhythm of stilettos stomping striding with purpose. The fashionably dressed girl wearing said stilettos looks rather annoyed, and is glaring into rooms as she searches them.]

Rikka! Rikka, come back here! Daddy said that you can't leave me behind anymore. Where are you?! If you don't get over here, I'll tell Aden and he'll kick your butt for me!

[Don't mind the girl with an amused smile in the room you just glared into.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[her gaze goes over you briefly, but she's grown up seeing lots of people with familiar faces]

RIKKA! Are you in here?!

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[Ow her ears. :<

Wait a second. Rikka?.............................Brainbreak.]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she has a very healthy set of lungs, but as she does not see the emo-lump anywhere, she will be stomping away in her ridiculously high heels]

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[Hey wait! Follows.]

You said you were looking for Rikka?

[Isn't that one of the kids she looks after sometimes?]

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[pauses and turns to you, giving you a quick once-over keywords relevant]

Yeah, I am. Have you seen him?

[dawningcoast]

[Wait, wait... wait. What. It's not often anymore that Riku's totally thrown by surprise by who or what shows up here. Congrats.]

Aden?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she actually pauses and -- in a move that may seem familiar -- she looks at your chest first, then your face, quite surprised]

... Auntie Piku-pie?

[dawningcoast]

[Yeah that's definitely familiar. Sigh. Riku pushes her hair back, suddenly feeling old.]

Kira?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[Kira gives a happy squeal and hurries over to you for a hug; boobsquish!]

Auntie Piku-pie! You look so young and non-wrinkly! You're using that moisturizer I gave you, aren't you? I told you that it would work wonders!

[dawningcoast]

[She's a little too stunned to hug back, at least immediately, and pulls back a little to get a good look at her face.]

You're really her.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

[Hm? Well, there's a new face.]

Miss, are you alright?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

*she blinks her big blue-green eyes at you, confused again*

... I'm really who, Auntie?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she could be a very very feminine Riku, if you turn your head and squint]

Oh... I'm just looking for Rikka.

[dawningcoast]

[That is so strange to hear, it throws her off for a second.]

-- Okay, look. There's no way to say it other than how it is. I think you're in the past.

[Really far in the past, judging by her apparent age.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I'm afraid I haven't seen anyone with that name as of late. Are you a new arrival, perhaps?

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

[she doesn't like the sound of that and looks quite frightened]

W-what? Auntie, what do you mean? We're both here together.

[dawningcoast]

[Aww no. Riku holds her hands up.]

I know... But not exactly. The Kira I know is just a baby.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

New?

[she laughs]

Oh no! I've lived here all my life.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

You have...?

[Odd.]

Perhaps you're from another time, then.

stupid typo

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

A... but I'm not a baby! I'm fifteen!

[look, she's flailing]

I didn't even notice XD;

[dawningcoast]

I can see that.

[It's good to have a number. The flailing is kind of adorable, and it makes her smile, but she needs to get this through her head!]

But I'm thirty-three. And my son is almost five months.

[daddyhasagun.livejournal.com]

Another... what are you talking about?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

It's a bit complex, but in short, in addition to bringing denizens from different worlds, there are times when the Dressing Room brings those from the future into the past.

No, Aden is the same age as me! He's my bodyguard!
