[Fixing things] Romeo was glad the heat was over, he had hated being so thirsty all the time. Hungry he could cope with but thirsty had been hard.

He felt heavy and as he sat up in bed he saw it was covered with leaves! It must be Autumn now! He grinned rolling in bed listening to the leaves crunching.

Getting up he looked around his room and his eyes settled on his puppet theater, it had gotten ruined again in the rain but he knew how to fix it now, he wasn't sad like the last time it had happened.

He was sadder about his books, Moby Dick, the picture book which he had learned to read with, his gift from miss Tohko. They were all ruined as well and he couldn't fix them.

But he could fix his puppet theater so in the name of keeping his spirits up he went over to grab it and dragged it out into the hall. The problem was it was bigger than him, he might need some help getting it all the way to floor fifteen.

[Making art] He worked on the theater for hours, painting it anew, finding new material for curtains, even getting some wood to support the bottom where the rain had warped and twisted it. The paint job was... interesting, but it looked well loved at least.

He stood admiring his work, it had been run, even if he had had to battle with leaves which kept getting stuck in the paint.

Which gave him an idea actually... While his theater dried he went to get some supplies. Paper, some glue, more paint and a whole lot of leaves.

Anyone walking in to floor fifteen would find a paint covered leaf monster sticking leaves to paper and painting patterns with the artistic ability of a much younger child. But this is the first time he has ever done something like this.

[See me soar] He took his paintings up to the graveyard, finding Molly's grave first and putting a picture next to it, "The towers gone all funny Molly! It's been raining inside, I bet you would find ways to have fun though!"

Sasuke was next, "Itachi's okay, he's getting better at being a good person now. And he's been helping people a lot!" He went to a few more, he didn't have enough pictures for all his friends but he tried to talk to them all at least.

Well until there was a roar and he was snatched up off his feet into the air. He screamed as he was flung this way and that, the air snatched from his lungs. It felt like he was up for ever but then he was flung downwards, right into a headstone, there was a crack as his head hit it and he lay there limply.

Comments

[lightofhumanity]

chaos wouldn't skip, but he would follow Romeo at a good pace, smiling. It was good that he was feeling better, that he had been able to help in this instance.

[myblueskies]

"Do you have lots of friends here too mister Chaos?" Romeo turned to the man who was following him.

[lightofhumanity]

Oh, Romeo, that question stung. Not that chaos showed it as he nodded.

"I do. However..there were no graves for them here, so I made a few makeshifts ones for them."

[myblueskies]

"Why not. There's graves for everyone..." Had some people been missed out? That was awful.

[lightofhumanity]

In chaos's case, the people he missed had died so long ago that their graves had been lost, for the most part. Sadly, the Administrators had chosen to mimic this fact.

"For most of everyone..however, the Administrators seem to have skipped my friends. But it is fine. I have set up makeshift ones for them in the corner, as I said."

[myblueskies]

"When did they disappear? What were their names? I might have known them."

[lightofhumanity]

Oh Romeo..he might have chuckled if the conversation wasn't so..sad for him.

"..Romeo, they were never here. They died back in my universe."

[myblueskies]

Oh, that's why they weren't here. Romeo nodded, "My friend did too mister chaos, but it's okay because they got to go to heaven or other nice places, so you can be happy that they are safe even if you miss them."

[lightofhumanity]

Well..that was a bit of a half-truth. The souls that he had met were in different bodies that he now knew in the present day..but it was also true that those people in the past were different from the ones in the present.

"..I am sorry to hear that your friend died. Really, I am..however..I suppose they are well, in their own ways."

[myblueskies]

"I'm sorry about your friends too, but I am sure they are okay." He smiled back, trying to keep the man's spirits up.

[lightofhumanity]

..Romeo, your attempts really were appreciated, even if they were only half-working.

"Oh, I know that they are alright for now."

[myblueskies]

"Good." He smiled again.

[lightofhumanity]

After all, the Maiden was doing fine, and so were his other friends in the Tower. At least..as well as one could actually be here.

"Where are the rest of your friends?"

[myblueskies]

"I'll show you sir." He skipped forward again, reading graves.

[lightofhumanity]

chaos just nodded, following Romeo and reading the names that appeared on the gravestones.

[myblueskies]

Romeo pointed a few out, "This is Elian, he was really kind and nice and liked helping people, he was the one that gave me these clothes because mine were too small! And this is Eiji he was an adult who was really nice though he could turn into a monster. He helped me lots though and protected me when everyone wanted to kill me."

[lightofhumanity]

Whenever Romeo did, chaos would nod at the grave, his smile gone, and say his usual prayer while patting on the grave stone for a moment.

"May you both be reborn again anew.."

He then turned to Romeo again.

"It's good that you had quite a few people to help you out when times were tough."

[myblueskies]

"It is. People are mostly really nice here sir!"

[lightofhumanity]

chaos found that humanity-along with other species-tended to be full of differing shades of grey..but he did agree with Romeo most of the time, so he simply smiled and nodded. He wasn't going to push his own beliefs. People had to make their own choices.

"I am glad to hear that. In a place like this, kind people would be a lot of help."

[myblueskies]

"They are sir." Romeo smiled, "It is good that everyone can help each other!"

[lightofhumanity]

"It usually is. There are times when some cannot help others, but when people can help each other, it usually is a good thing."

[myblueskies]

"It is sir!"
