"Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean
Surprised you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear
Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops
And castles
All inside the palm of my hand
This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly your scared to let through
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half of me has become whole
All those things that you taught me to fear
I've got them in my garden now
And your not welcome here"
"Yeah...you did." She sighed and looked at him. "I forgot how blood makes you react. I won't forget this time though. Next time I want you to shut up, I'll just cut myself. You'll faint, and I'll walk away." Pushing herself up, Luna walked over to the door before looking at Arete. "Get in to the safe and grab the money." "Come a little bit closer
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit
Of the doubt it's true
But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool
While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Don't you mess with me

Arete Muse 
"Huh? Oh right, the safe." Arete got up and moved over to the large steel door. Then he simply punched into the number code into a pad that opened up on the side and turned the large wheel until it finally clicked. Arete stepped back and let the 6 inch steel door swing open to allow him access to a treasure trove of cash and coin. Dollar signs could almost be seen flashing in his eyes as Arete stared at the mountain high splendor. "Jackpot!" he cheered and dove into the money like Scrooge McDuck, taking a short swim in the currency before unzipping his backpack so that he could pile as much cash inside it as he could. "Oh, by the way I caught you and Fenrir talking about me just before I entered. Sorry, but I was kinda snooping."

She crossed her arms and watched him, uninterested in the cash. "Yeah, you were snooping. I kind of figured that's why you stopped to snoop. But who cares if we were talking about you? You weren't the only one. There was also Lilianna who is obviously pissed over something, and Fenrir's girlfriend. Uh...what was her name...Oh yeah, Cherry. Why do you care what was being said anyway?"
She leaned against the door, her head resting against it as she waited for him to finish being greedy. "Come a little bit closer

"Just curious is all. Ever since finding out you "used" to have a crush on me back at the hotsprings I've started to question my own obliviousness." A moment later Arete's head popped up out at the top of the cash mountain. "Wait, Liliana is pissed about something?"

"God I should have just kept my mouth shut back there. You seem to...undecided lately. And obviously your oblivious nature got the better of you. Since she ended up speaking in my mind, I guess it's not too far fetched to assume that she can hear other people's conversations. If so, let's just say Fenrir pretty much said that you didn't care about her. If she heard that, she probably got upset. But she said that we wouldn't see her in Nocturne again."
Her long white tail swayed behind her. "You should have gone after her right then. But I guess money means more to you than she does." "Come a little bit closer

Arete Muse
Arete continued scooping money into his pockets and bag. "Well you're like her captain, so why didn't you stop her?" He glanced down at her. "Leaving Nocturne without permission is a capital offense. Fenrir will hunt her down if she runs away." Arete sighed as he piled more money in. "As for how I feel about her, I really do care for her. Maybe its not what you would call love but she is a close friend to me."

"I'm not a Captain nor do I wish to be. And if I do say so myself, if you don't care about her that way you might want to clear things up. You have a nasty little habit of making girls feel special and when they feel special they think that you're the one they've been looking for. They start thinking that you actually care until they see you flirting with another girl. You're nothing but a shameless playboy. Besides, she doesn't care what I have to say. She cares about what you have to say."
Stepping away from the door, Luna headed over to the bed and took a seat. "Besides, it's not like she could get very far if she did run away. She's blind and the only place Rogues can go is that stupid Spire thing." "Come a little bit closer

Arete Muse
Arete sighed. "I'm a traveler. I know it may hurt some of these girls to say goodbye, but thats the way it is. You know that, and so does Liliana. Like a pleasant dream I cannot stay. Like a soft spring breeze I may only linger for a moment. I come and I go, carrying on the experiences of yesterday to a new crowd on the morrow." Then Arete jumped up and skated down the pile of money, eventually coming to a stop in front of Luna. Tips of cash gushed out of every pocket, backpack, and even the inside of his clothes. "Have you ever worn a wad of bills around your junk? It feels...quite empowering." mrgreen He grinned happily.

"No they don't. Especially not slaves. But I wouldn't expect you to understand." She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "You wanna know what feels even better? My foot up your a**! And that's going to happen unless you get your a** up and leave. God...All this money is making me sick to my stomach." Shoving Arete out of her way, Luna headed for the door and opened it up. She stepped outside and began walking down the hall, all the time rubbing her head.
Of course the damn bard wouldn't understand. He was either an idiot or he just didn't care. And her bet was on the last option. "Ugh..idiot...Lilianna's too good for him and I'll go tell her that myself." "Come a little bit closer

Arete scratched his head once Luna left. "Huh, they usually laugh when I tell that one." the thief grumbled to himself before dashing after her. "Hey! Wait a sec." Arete shouted as he finally caught up to her. "Please don't be mad with me. I'll talk with Liliana myself, alright?"

How old are you?
I'm older than you'll ever be
I've been dead a thousand years
And lived only two or three
I don't mind telling you
My life was ended by your hand
The kind of murder where nobody dies
But I don't suppose you'd understand
Thank you, kind sirs
You've made me what I am today
A bundle of broken nerves
A mouthful of words I'm still afraid to say
I don't mind telling you
Now that I'm old enough to love
I couldn't begin to even if
My pretty life depended on it
And funny thing, it does
"Why? So you can get back on her goodside and act like everything is fine when in reality you'll just up and leave her? You really don't understand what you've done do you?" She stopped and turned to look at him.
"You really don't understand the horrors that we've seen and been through as slaves. You don't understand how much it means to have someone who really cares about you for more than just your looks or body. And I'm not talking about the s**t normal girls go through where they run into men just being men. Maybe instead of thinking of yourself, you should think about how your actions affect others. Lilianna likes you because you've been nice to her and made her feel special. You probably made her feel like she could be more than just a slave. I know you did that with me until I figured you were just a little playboy. No, you're just like the rest of the men here. You don't care about slaves, you don't care about Lilianna. She's an after thought in your mind. I saw that quite clearly when you were leaping around all that green paper. Now if you're done here, I have somewhere to be."
She pushed past him and took a couple of steps ahead before stopping. "Oh, and by the way, forget about what I said at the hotspring. It was a lie." If I am Lolita
Then you are a criminal
And you should be killed
By an army of little girls
The law won't arrest you
The world won't detest you
You never did anything
Any man wouldn't do
I'm Gothic Lolita
And you are a criminal
I'm not even legal
I'm just a dead little girl
But ruffles and laces
And candy sweet faces
Directed your furtive hand
I perfectly understand

"Thats not true." Arete immediately replied when Luna said he didn't understand slaves or care about Liliana. It wouldn't change anything though. As Liliana turned to leave, Arete said one last thing. "I'm a prince."

(Hah! See! you've got Lilianna on the brain! XD lol )
"No, it is true. Princes go out to save Princesses and fight dragons and have huge battles. Princes don't care about slaves or beasts. There is no way they ever could when they are too busy thinking of themselves. If they really cared, there would be no black markets. But they don't...It's not just Lilianna and I who've suffered at the hands of Greedy men and women. It's other people too. Like Missy...and Alice...Even those whom I didn't know like Ribbon...Even Brutus...I can't even blame him..." Her ears laid flat against her head as she remembered them all.
Missy had been her Master's favorite when Luna was still in training. Blonde fluffy hair, blue eyes, and an hourglass figure that most everyone was dying to see. Unlike the rest, she was a pampered pet. She got whatever she wanted. Until the day something happened. Even now, Luna wasn't sure what. Luna and Alice had just been sitting outside. Suddenly the door burst open and Missy made a run for it. Their Master wasn't too far behind, gun in hand. Without flinching he pulled the trigger and shot her through the neck. It was the first time Luna had seen such a horrible thing. Even if she had disliked Missy, that image never left her mind.
Then there was Alice. A sweet woman the master never touched. She was more like a maid. Always cooking and cleaning. But she was also a friend to Luna, and she saw how many times the girl had died inside from being used by various adults. She decided to flee, and took Luna with her. The two headed for the outskirts of their Master's territory. Everything seemed to be going fine until Alice was shot through the leg. She told Luna to run, but she couldn't just leave her to die. The Master, Brutus, and a few more paid thugs surrounded them. Immediately he pointed his finger at Luna, blaming her for this and claiming the idea was hers.
She was expecting a good beating for it, and Luna would have taken it too. Unlike the others, for some reason the Master enjoyed torturing her. He'd put her on the brink of death, then pull her back from it. She never got the satasfaction of actually dying. But Alice stopped him. She said it was all her fault. Years of loyal service meant nothing to him. He just said how disappointed he was in her, and pulled the trigger.
And Brutus...Poor Brutus...A young male Kiranu who'd had an affair with the wife of his last Master. The Master's Wife liked Brutus more than her own husband. And for that, his ears were removed along with his tail, and he was savagely beaten before being tossed on the side of the road to die. Brutus was the only one Master Alexander had been nice to, and that was because he knew he could manipulate him. It worked. Brutus believed his Master could do no wrong. And when he became the Master's right hand man, he was allowed to stud. So despite what he'd done to her, she couldn't blame Brutus. She just felt pity for him.
Then there were the tails of Ribbon...A blue haired Kiranu who, from what she had heard, had been Master Alexander's pet. But something happened, and he ended up murdering her in cold blood. There was so much death. And even those few cases were just drops of water in the large bucket.
Luna shook the horrible memories from her head. Feeling a cold shiver run down her spine. She felt so small and weak when she thought back on those times. Even though she had killed him, she could still feel his eyes watching her. It was something no slave could escape.
"We aren't the only ones...Lilianna and I...we're just two who managed to get away...Very few actually manage that..Most are just killed in cold blood. If not literally...then figuratively. There is no slave who is actually a living soul...We are all already dead..." If I am Lolita
Then you are a criminal
And you should be killed
By an army of little girls
The law won't arrest you
The world won't detest you
You never did anything
Any man wouldn't do
I'm Gothic Lolita
And you are a criminal

Arete Muse
Without thinking Arete suddenly launched himself forward and hugged Luna. He pulled her close against him for a moment while he buried his head into her shoulder. "S-Sorry. I just felt like holding you for some reason." He muttered sadly. "I know life for you and Liliana was hard, but I'm not like either of those guys." Arete's sandy blonde hair pulled back into view as he released her. "After all, do I seem like a normal prince to you?"

She was taken off guard by the hug. She turned her head slightly and looked at him with those cold, dead cerulean eyes before releasing a sigh. "How should I know? You always change. One minute you hang on someone, the next moment you go to someone else. You're hyper, you start singing, you're a goofball. Quite frankly, I think it's all just a front. I think you've been lying the whole time. And I think you are still lying. But whatever. I'm tired of having this conversation. It's getting us nowhere and I have the sinking feeling that you're just starting to pity me. If that's the case, then stop it. You can save that pity for the slaves who are still being bought and sold. Of course if you actually are a Prince, you could use your diplomatic powers to try and get rid of it."
She thought for a moment and shook her head. "Nevermind...The only way to stop it is to kill the people who run it. And unfortunately, that means taking down more than half of the political parties. The reason slaves still exist is because the political parties get a share of the profits. They get paid to look the other direction. Not even a Prince could change that. Instead he'd be a sitting duck."
She sighed and shook her head, rubbing her temples as she headed off back towards Hellgrind. If I am Lolita
