towerofanimus | The new Deadman..

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai and you!~
Setting: Around the Tower's steps.
Format: Starting in prose, but I'll match you.
Summary: After unknowingly eating some contaminated food on the eleventh, Yotsuba gains some strange powers, and is rather..curious about them, so she starts to search for answers.
Warnings: Yotuba will get killed by Wretched Egg, so look out for that. And Yotsuba can control her blood, so..people who don't like that should probably avoid this post.

Yotsuba dimly remembered that dinner on the eleventh had tasted odd, but since it wasn't yucky, not many people payed to much attention to it, chalking it up to the Administrators again, and since it wasn't bitter, no one thought it was poisoned. She didn't give it much thought either, since she wasn't harmed. After all, she was a little girl with much more to do and much more to keep her occupied.

However, when Yotsuba woke up on the thirteenth, she noticed that she wasn't feeling..right. Not bad, just not right. Trying to think of what wasn't right, she got hopped out of bed and started to walk through the dorm floors. When she heard a loud noise from below-probably someone fighting or a newcomer-she jumped, surprised..and cried a little in pain. Turning her head around, she saw small spikes of her own blood coming out of her back.

This..wasn't normal, and curious, Yotsuba started to walk up the Tower steps, calling out the people she knew so that she might be able to find some answers. Since she didn't know how they came out, she didn't pull them back in. They just stayed like that while she climbed and called.

"Dia..Diamud! Edgeworth?! Arada! Hibiki?! Yu..Yukki?!"

Feel free to bother her or help her out.

When Diarmuid motioned for her to crawl into bed, she would settle under the cover and lie back on the pillow. However, when she heard he would sing, she smiled and shook her head. Yotsuba herself liked to sing, even though it was just small things.

"It's alright! I won't mind! And Yotsuba is all settled in!"

And pretty sleepy. Knowing Yotsuba, she would probably over-excite herself with the unfamiliar language and drift off as he was singing.

Diarmuid tucks the blankets in around her and then sits on the edge of the bed. After giving her hair a quick, though gentle ruffle, he starts to sing. The song is slow and flowing at times and quick and energetic at others. Though Yotsuba can't understand the words, somehow the feel of the song gives away that it's about a child setting off on his first adventure. All the child is exploring is the forest and the stream in his backyard, but for him it's still a wonderful trip of discovery.

Though he would tell no one, the song is actually one Diarmuid wrote after watching his own boys go off on just such a journey to explore the forest and stream that ran basically through their backyard.

Yotsuba lightly laughed when Diarmuid ruffled her hair, but then stayed quiet while Diarmuid sang, paying attention to the words, even though she couldn't understand them.

She understood the feel of the song though. It reminded her of the feeling she got when she ran out of the house and wandered around the neighborhood with her friends from next door.

However, as Yotsuba thought about those old, good days, she closed her eyes to better feel the song and reminisce..but soon, she was fast asleep, playing through her past in a dream.

Diarmuid smiles when he finishes the song and looks down to see her asleep. That is how things usually go, though. The young ones just can't stay awake more than a short time into the song. Maybe it is just because it's a boring song, but maybe it is because it does its job and brings comfort and good dreams to those who hear it.

He gently smooths the blankets over her again, but doesn't immediately leave. Instead, he stays and watches over her for a while like he promised he would. As he sits there, his mind drifts to memories of doing this with his own children.

All in all, it's not a bad way to spend a few hours.

The new Deadman..
