Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll be drawing something for gouken and sierra eventually anyways (since I promised gouken) but for now I'll stick to what I do best. and write.

don't feel bad... I'm pretty sure my sharpie wouldn't have lasted long enough, and I have no way of buying a new one today since the book store's closed

Myuuuuuuuh... Is somebody here?
*Sighs and sits looking to her shoes while swinging her legs*
Myuuuuh... I don't like the quietness. It drives me crazy.
*Pouts.*
Someone, taskete ((help))!

Walks in and looks around "hello?"

My entry for the Hallowen Story: Be warned, this is a looooooong short story, and I got a little sweary near the end, maybe? Also, I appologize for typos. I don't have the time to read over it again.


All on a Gloomy October eve...

It was the day before halloween.... or maybe a couple weeks after... who's to tell, really? A little persocon girls sits all alone in her nightclub, watching the sun set outside her window. Normally, ?JRocking? would be crawling with people at this time of day, however the discotheque was closed for reasons beyond her control...

"Stupid Jolt monkey," she pouts, glaring pathetically out the window at the jolt stand that she can just barely see. Earlier that very day, the monkey had delivered a jolt to her, to her pleasured surprise. However, her joy was diminished greatly upon discovering that somehow said mammal had infested the building with termites that had been taking a ride on its hide. The "Happy Friendly Terminators" (call 1-800-fun-kill!) where fumigating the inside of the building right now, so nobody living could be in the premises. Orestria was taking her time leaving however, because she couldn't figure out where she could go! Besides, although her chest rises and falls, she has no lungs, so being unable to breathe isn't a big thing... and the gas was making the walls of her office turn quite an amusing shade....

She stands up and crosses the room, pausing momentarily in her travels to look at herself in the full length mirror. She was dressed in one of her two costumes for the holliday. She had managed to make her long silver hair obscure her cute metal persocon ears, since that would have ruined the costume. The black top hat had resisted strongly when she had cut the holes in it, but the two bunny ears sticking up through them look so cute that surely the hat is feeling much better about the arrangement now. She has on a little black collar with a bell, and a silver monocle. The blue with white frills body suit she had on could easily have worked for an angel costume, but she is wearing it since it manages to make her look a little older than she usually does. Hgh black and white stockings obscure the vision of her legs, with matching gloves on her arms, and a big clunky pair of black, Jrocker platforms (5 inches high!) round out the assemble. She had been almost unable to wait for her owner, the lady Sierra, to see it, since she was certain her mistress would have gone on the whole evening about how adorable she looked, but since it would be unhealthy for the half-elf, half-demoness to enter, this is now rather unlikely.

She sneaks up the back entrance to the JRocking stage, and sits on the edge, looking out across the wide, empty main room of the club. It was dark, since she'd turned off all the lights, incase the heat the special lamps created would have an adverse effect when it met with the fumigation. Bad enough having bugs without needing the redecorate. Well, by now you're probably wondering, why doesn't the adorable persocon just go somewhere else, she must have lots of friends, since she's so cute, and friendly, and snuggly, right?

Well, although she does have quite a few friends, there are also some good reasons not to go visit them. Her mistress, Sierra, has recently started dating a man by the name of Gouken, who WOULD be described here except he's a bum who never posted his character bio. Read the stickies kids, tsk tsk. Anyways, Orestria didn't really know this man too well yet, and quite frankly, she didn't want to interrupt the two lovebirds. Then there was the foreign mage WindDance and his singer boyfriend Rayne... the two hadn't been around much recently, and she had the feeling it was as much because they were spending a lot of *personal* time together as it was avoiding the club's insane fangirls.

There were some of the older DSBG people, like Sir Ajax, Orphen, Veanna and Tranz, but she hadn't really seen much of them recently, and frankly, she wouldn't know where to look to go find them. Well, she knew where Ajax was, but she's too angry at his monkey to go visit him. She heads up to her DJ booth, to double check that all the electronics are off. When she looks back down at the stage, she is struck by the way the gas seems to be resembling smoke or fog. She sighs a little, "Jrocking, you're just as dark and gloomy as my ruined holiday... And not the cool kind of Halloween gloomy, the other kind."

She heads back down the stairs from the DJ booth, deciding to go to the kitchen area and make sure everything was s**c and span, when half way down the flight of stairs, her ears perk up, as she suddenly hears a gentle sound, like someone playing slowly on the piano. The sound gets louder, and it sounds like something out of a little girl's music box. Just as she recognizes the melody as the beginning of the song 'Cage' by Dir en grey, she remembers that.... that all the sound equipement is off!

Her CPU races, trying to put together a logical explanation of what was happening. Where is this music coming from? It's coming from all over the room, almost as if the speakers were working, but there's no way. Just then, the heavy, rock guitars blare as the real song picks up, and it catches her off guard. She trips (which isn't really all that unusual) and tumbles down the stairs, rolling all the way to the dance floor. She looks up from where she is lying in quite an uncomfortable position, kneeling on the ground right in front of the stage.

Her blue eyes widen in shock, as a short (but still taller than her) blond man somehow walks out of the fog. She recognizes him immediately as the one-and-only Kyo from Dir en Grey! "B-but how!? This isn't Japan.... and, and the gas! You can't be alive in here!"
He ignores her, and somehow the song has skipped to the end, and he sings;
"tokei wa hidarimawari demo okashita tsumi wa kaerezu
saisho de saigo no rikaisha kowashita
boku ni wa yasashisugita no ka naa? mukashi no torauma wo utsushi
saigo no kimi made kowashita boku wa sado?"

The music thunders to a finale, and the hot but kinda creepy asian man sits on the edge of the stage, and pats the stage beside him, beckoning to the persocon. Orestria wanders over, more than happy to be able to sit next to the rock star. She hops up onto the stage with a bit of effort, and tilts her head slightly to the left, looking up curiously at the man. In a british accent, he says "Do you know what that means, Orestria?"

The persocon blinks, confused, "A british accent?? But you're japanese!"

Kyo sighs, which accidentally starts up the fake blood spout in his mouth, he quickly spits it out, the fake blood getting all over him and the floor in front of the stage in the process, "You don't understand Japanese. So I've been dubbed. BADLY dubbed, and by the BBC at that. Like in that interview. Anyways, what that means is, 'even if the clock spins to the left, sins committed can't be changed. In the beginning the last sympathizer was destroyed. I wonder if you are too gentle to me ? Reflecting a trauma from long ago, Am I who destroys to the last you a sadist?'"

"You know, that last line really doesn't make any sense >> What are you doing here? How can you still be living in here with the gas?"

The blond haired, leather-clad man stands menacingly, and his voice bellows, echoing unnaturally throughout the empty dance hall, "I am the Ghost of Halloweens Past! The rememberer of the sins you have comitted!" He then goes to spew forth blood, which really winds up as him opening his mouth and flicking his tongue. When no blood flows forth, he looks down to the ground, glaring at the spout lying in a puddle of fake blood. "Oops. Forgot about that."

Orestria blinks cutely, and starts to cry tearlessly, "I'm so confused. What sins have I comitted?"

Kyo shrugs and sits again, "It's just a speech I'm supposed to say each time. Don't worry your little head over it. Now, I've got something to show you." The J-Rocker holds out his left hand in front of him, very dramatically. Suddenly, the green-tinged fog gathers thicker and thicker around them, until Orestria is no longer sitting on the stage in JRocking. She falls to the ground rump first, still not quite able to see anything through the mist, not even the blond singer.

She stands up, wincing. She rubs her sore bottom, with one eye closed, "Itetetete... It hurts... Where am I? I can't see anything! Stupid Fog...stupid jolt monkey!" Waves at the fog, trying to disperse it, but instead hits someone's arm. She latches on to said arm, and it turns out to be that of her ghostly guide. She smiles up sheepishly at the rocker, before he snarls and shakes her off, trying to keep up his stage persona. The deep, british voice rings out, in full prophetic mode, "Look around you, young Orestria. What do you see?"

"I don't see anything! It's too foggy!" She whines, pouting adorably at the man. Kyo rolls his eyes and with a sweep of his arm, clears the fog. Of course, this is just too cool, and Orestria squeals and clings to him again, "Sugoiiiii~!"

He growls and throws her off. She loses her balance and falls to the ground again. She looks up and opens her mouth to complain... but then no sound emerges. She feels like she knows this place, even though her memory can't find a match. She rises to her feet silently, looking around the horrible metal room. It's like a cell...

"A cell in a laboratory. For holding specimen, to be precise. Very good, your erased memories are started to reconfigure. Now, look behind you."

Orestria obeys, and almost falls over again in shock when she does. She clings to Kyo's arm a third time, but this time he doesn't knock her away. Lying against the back of the wall, in no kind of order, is a pile of persocons, scattered about like toys a small child has grown tired of. She studies the pile carefully, then sighs with relief, "I'm not there."

"Kya!" The sound of an electrical shock of some sort makes the persocon jump up into the dubbed japanese man's arms. Kyo takes this opportunity to carry her to the cell door and through it (without opening it, of course), into what looks like an operating room. On the table is Orestria, an older Orestria, back when she had wavy black hair instead of the straight silver she wears today. A scientist is berrating his underling, yelling about how poorly made she was, and how they'd never be able to get a buyer for a disfuntional persocon like her, occasionally taking time out to zap or prod her, making notes in a little book about her reactions to such stimuli.

"I-I remember now." Orestria whispers quietly, her ears drooping, "This is before they went to deactivate me... but the one who made me even messed THAT up, since part of my circuits had been fried from all their testing. I managed to stay online, and break out of the cell, down to the store where they sell the persocons... and Sierra came and stopped them from dragging me away again when they caught me down there."

Kyo nods slightly at her, and then the two of them are again surrounded by the fog. When it clears again, quicker this time, the singer is standing in the middle of the JRocking stage, still holding Orestria in his arms. He lets her down gently, and crouches down in front of her, "Your friends here. Have they ever treated you like those men did? Like a robot?"

"No!" she yells at him, horrified at the very idea, "No, of course not! They treat me like-- no, I am a person. I'm a person Kyo!" The celebrity smiles slightly, looking even more adorable than normal. Orestria goes to hug him, to thank him for reminding her, but he vanishes back into smoke at the same time, the last thing she sees of him being that slight grin.

Orestria jumps down off the stage, and wanders around the main room of JRocking, a little dazed after her experience. How very... strange. There isn't really another word for it. Finally, she sits at one of the tables. "I'm so lucky, to have all these people who treat me so nicely. I guess Kyo wanted me to realize that I shouldn't complain about being alone right now, since I know I have all these friends to support me." She smiles a little at that, and leans back, closing her eyes contently for a moment.

For the second time that night, she hears a gently melody playing out, but this one quickly starts having a bass in the background, coming from all around her. It takes her a little longer to recognize this song, but eventually she does... "Girls, be ambitious" by...

She opens her crystal blue eyes, and there sitting across from her at the table is the ever kawaii Miyavi! Her jaw drops, she can't help hit. Two gorgeous jrock hunks in one night! She listens closely as he sings part of the song, even though listening doesn't help her to understand the Japanese at all.

"Hitoribocchi no yoru
wake wakan nee fuan ni, nogareenu kyoufu, nakitaku naru yona kodoku ga,
kimi ni mo osoraku otozureru deshou?"

Orestria leans over the table slightly, listening intently (And taking the excuse to stare at the hot asian man across from her). "So, what does it mean? You're going to tell me now, ri--"

Before she can finish asking her question, she notices that at the bottom of her visual field, the english meaning is being displayed in words. It reads
Anxious from not understanding the meaning, fear you can't escape, loneliness that makes you want to cry, perhaps these may visit even you?>

She gasps in shock, "How?? What??"

Miyavi responds, completely incomprehensibly since it's in Japanese. Again, the words appear for Orestria's benefit, He smiles cutely, and winks at her.

"Sugoi... Don't worry, the subtitles don't bother me. I think I prefer it to the dub, actually. So Miyavi-sam--"

<-kun. Miyavi-kun, please.>

"All right" Orestria smiles, positively beaming. She has permission to call Miyavi KUN! "Miyavi-kun, why are you here? Didn't Kyo all ready show me what I needed to see?"

Miyavi stands up on the chair, and poses dynamically, one foot up on the table, he holds out his hand to her across the table as the smoke begins to close in around them. Orestria reaches out quickly to grab the offered hand, so she doesn't get lost like she did at first with Kyo.

The blue-haired Jrocker pulls her through out of the fog...to right outside of Jrocking. Orestria blinks, "Miyavi-kun, if this is the present, couldn't we have just walked out here?"

The translation scrolls by as Miyavi half-sings to himself.

The persocon looks to see WindDance and Rayne standing outside Jrocking. Wind is just finishing reading the closed-notice outloud to his hyper-active lover. "So, in other words, we can't go to the club, even if you cast an illusion-thinger on us. Gah, I'm bored! What are we going to do now?"

"I don't know ashke," He slips an arm around the shorter man's waist, "I guess we'll just have to wander around until we find something to entertain us." The two men walk off down one path...

...and Miyavi starts strutting down the other. He starts singing again, the translation reading Orestria bounds off after him on all fours. This is what she gets from complaining about being teleported earlier. Eventually, they arrive outside of Sierra's living quarters. They walk through the door.

"It just... it just feels strange being all cooped up the day before Halloween...." The beautiful red-haired woman declares.

Gouken nods, "I understand, milady, but you're still not completely well. You need to conserve your strength for the guild festivities tomorrow evening."

Sierra sighs, and nods, "I just wish that conserving energy wasn't so boring..."

Before anymore conversation can transpire, the green fog clouds Orestria's vision again, and both her and the JRocker are back in the club. Orestria looks at Miyavi a moment, gathering her thoughts. Why is any of what Miyavi-kun showed her important? Then finall, she clues in, "I'm not the only one bored. With Jrocking closed, there are probably one to two hundred bored people out there, with no club, and even without the club, I'm still good company for my friends... I get it! Assuming that I would be interrupting them is just as wrong as if I were to assume they were bored. It could be either way, and I'm sure at least somebody would want me around! Thank you, Miyavi-kun!"

The blue-haired singer sings, before changing to yet another song. Orestria can just barely make out the translation over the fog the man is disappearing into,

Feeling much better, about everything really, Orestria decides to clean up the kitchen area before going out to visit her owner. Besides, after all this teleporting, she should check her hair again, so that Sierra-sama can see her at her cutest. She hums a little on her way, and just when she gets behind the bar, her humming gets drowned out by a haunting violin melody, getting louder by the moment. She spins aroudn in shock to find the gorgeous Gackt standing on top of the bar, pants as impossibly tight as ever. He bursts into song;
"tsumetai kaze o abinagara
kurikaesu yoru ni omoi o egaiteta
sotto kuchizusamu merodi wa
jikan ni kizamarete kieru
nido to modorenai kanashimi wa wasurerarenakute
ima mo yureru omoi ni somaru koto dekinai karada ga
kowaresoude..."

Orestria doesn't need him to translate for her, since she knows miserable well enough to know what it means. To safe him the effort, she repeats the english meaning to him, " 'While blasted by the cold wind, I relived my memories in the returning night. The melody I softly sing to myself is carved away by time until it vanishes. I can't forget the sadness that I cannot return to even now, my body that cannot taint the flickering emotions seems to break down.' As pleased as I am to meet you, Gackt-sama, I don't understand why you're here. Kyo and Miyavi-kun have all ready solved all my problems for me, there's nothing else bothering me, I don't know what you could possibly have to clarify for me."

Gackt crouches down on the bar top, an almost sultry look on his face, and says, "You can see the another world, world missing. There is no one here, need come--"

"Ok, Gackt... I think you've been in need of someone to tell you this for quite sometime...but.... your english is really bad. I know you talk in round about ways, but your round-about ways aren't making sense in the least, even held by themselves." Orestria winces, thinking her circuitry might explode if she listens to his horribly engrishy speech any longer.

Gackt sits on the bar, bringing his one knee up, but letting the other leg hang off the edge. He wasn't going to let this rebuke spoil his image, The lithe asian man slides off the bar top, holding his hand out to her,

Orestria is practically swooning while the 'duke' gives his speach, and then takes his hand with a squeal. Gackt is always so laid back, yet he just exhudes sexiness. Like, in waves. Seriously, it's even affecting a ROBOT. Just thing about that, kiddies. He smirks, and Orestria feels like her circuits are going to overload, just as the now-familliar fog envelops them.

When the fog clears, she tears her eyes away from the asian sensation to look around her, and is more than a little horrified. There are chunks of metal and other debris surrounding them pretty much as far as the eye can see, "Gackt-sama! is this some kind of post-apocalyptic future you're showing me?! Is there some way I can prevent this?"

< You've got the wrong idea. This isn't a representation of the entire world. Look around a bit more, and guess again.> Gackt stands, looking as laid back as ever, seeming almost bored, although his eyes betray his wicked curiousity. Obviously, he's finding the persocon's confusiong quite amusing... and he looks wicked sexy at the same time.

Our heroine wanders off a little ways, with the 'Duke' following languorously in her wake. Eventually, using her advanced robotic eye sight, she spots a fence barracading the area she's in. Finally, her CPU provides her with an answer that seems to fit, "Are we in... Is this a Junk Yard, Gackt-sama?" The singer nods, and a sudden realization hits Orestria. She falls to her knees and starts digging frantically. Gackt has to come over and help her move one large metal beam and then... then out of the rubble she can see her face, dirty and in poor condition staring lifelessly up at the sky.

She yelps and falls backwards, scrambling with her hands and feet to get away, shaking her head, not wanting to believe what she's just seen. Gackt puts and arm aroudn her shoulders, preventing her from pulling away any further,

Orestria nods a little bit, "B-but I don't understand! Sierra-sama loves me, she wouldn't just throw me away like this!"

The girl seems to take a little comfort from this, but she's still in shock from finding her body like this.

"H-how can I prevent this, Gackt? I can't let this happen! How did I get so damaged that I was beyond repair!"



Orestria blinks up at him, "Wow. How can you be so sexy while telling me how I'm going to die?"


He shrugs,


"But... shouldn't you have just told me to get the hell out of JRocking without doing all the showing me what will happen?" She asks, confused.



Orestria smiles a little, then giggles. "Oh Gackt. It's just like you to have to do things with style." Gackt's only responce is to smirk as the fog closes in around them. The next time when Orestria can see, she's back in Jrocking, and all three Jhunks are up on the stage.

Gackt declares, and Miyavi and Kyo nod their agreement.

The cute little persocon blinks, "What's that, Gackt-Sama, Kyo-Sama, Miyavi-kun?"

Gackt raises a hand to his face, as if it's beneath him to mention it. Miyavi looks to Kyo, who simply snarls at him, then sighs. The blue-haired singer steps forward,

Orestria anime falls. Gackt looks away innocently, as if he isn't involved with this at all. Kyo crouches down and actually succesfully uses his blood spout to purposely puke out fake blood... apparently at his disdain for this part of their duties. Miyavi begins appologizing, He holds out a piece of paper and a red pen for her.

The persocon stands and takes the paper from him, filling out the survey very complimentarily for the three men. She hands it back to Miyavi, who smiles broadly, then shows it to the other two rockers, who also seem pleased, "And you deserve every bit of it! ^^"

Kyo stands, wiping the blood from his chin, then shakes Orestria's hand (getting the fake blood on her without really realizing it), "Thank you for your rave reviews."

Miyavi gives Orestria a friendly hug as Kyo disperses into pale fog,

Gackt smirks ever-so-sexily at her, and by the time she can focus on anything else, Miyavi is all ready gone, The final jrocker's form melts into smoke behind her as she runs out of the nightclub and into the dark night air. As soon as she steps foot outside, she hears a clock chime. She stands there, letting the cool breeze chase any remaining gas from her circuits, counting the chimes of the clock. Midnight... It's Halloween day!


She bounds on all fours down the path she'd seen the two lifebonded take earlier, and catches up to them. Wind smiles, "Hello Little Lad-- Orestria, what are you doing?" The persocon grabs each of them by the hand, and starts dragging them off in the direction they'd just come from.


"No time to explain WindDance, Rayne, just come with me please, it's very important!" She drags the two gay men with her, and along the way she collects Veanna, Tranze, Orphen, Ajax... and even the jolt monkey! The next thing her poor captives know, they're outside the door to Lady Sierra's Chambers.


Orestria flings open the door, shrugging past Gouken to glomp her mistress in bed. "Orestria!" Sierra exclaims in shock, as all the confused guild members enter as well, filling the room.


Smiling cutely, Orestria stands on a chair next to the bed, and exclaims, "It's Halloween everybody, JRocking may be closed, but we can still have fun! Let's party the night away here!"


And so party they did, and Sierra petted the persocon, gushing over how cute a bunny she is. Eventually, Orestria proposes a toast, crying out, "To Friends, lovers, and hot JRockers! Happy Halloween everybody!"

finished reading the story.
Hmmmm... It amused me very much. Me likies it. xd

((Must not choke on juice!! I couldn't stop laughing through the whole thing... You captured the verry essence of 3 of my fav J-Rockers XD and Ore-chan as always was intoxicatingly cute!! Great job love!! heart heart heart ))

*She giggles and jumps around beside her*

"Allo luff!!"

*waves to Hathor as she enters the room*

"Heyla' Hun!"
