*rolls* This is a private RP (sorry-ness, but that's how it goes) Only I, mizu_Taji, and Kaze1981 may post in this thread. Others may peer in, just refrain from posting
And in the words of Kaze herself... Have a cookie!

Ice blue eyes watched intently as the children passed, laughing and playing whatever game they were. They seemed so happy, so carefree, so unaware of how cruel the world could be.
And she envied them with every fiber of her being.
The deep violet locked girl remained idle on the park bench where she had planted herself, in need of an open thinking space. A paper orb of a silver-grey hue sat on her lap, its light dim, as it has been ever since she had recieved it. Oddly enough, she had become quite fond of the little lanturn.
It did not judge, nor mock, nor hurt in anyway.
And for the first time, she didn't find herself crazy for 'befriending' this, in her perception, unliving object. So far it was the only friend she had.
Friend. Another odd word she wasn't used to using.
She continued to watch until the children were out of sight, and an odd thought crossed her mind
What was fun like?

"Come on Mummy!" The voice sounded young, its owner a jade-haired boy with a silver horn his emerald eyes bright with interest and curiousity. "Do you think if I go on a swing it will feel like flying?"
"I don't know" This voice belonged to a blue-haired woman following behind at a slower pace, a jade lantern held carefully in her right hand and a bag of cookies tucked into her midnight blue sash. On either side of her head fluttered a feathered headwing and her ears were pointed in such a way as to be similar to those of an elf. "Isn't this where you met two other spirits... The day you knocked ink on Kori's sketchbook"
The unicorn boy nodded "Yep, though I didn't mean too" he looked earnestly at the blue haired woman. "It was an accident."

"Hm?" she mused ever so slightly as the two came into view. She had seen the blue-haired... woman before in the shop where she had been given her lanturn. She now had a lanturn of her own, a different style, but a nice looking lanturn all the same.
The boy though, she hadn't seen before. She would have remembered, seeing as she didn't know many people with a horn in the center of their forehead and a tail. Whatever, or whoever he was, he seemed like a happy, carefree child.
She then found herself pondering the boy's question. She hadn't been on a swing before, though she had seen many others use them for their pleasure.
And just what did flying feel like? She decided to keep watch on them.
Just to see if her questions would become answered.

Kaze smiled ruefully "I know it was an accident Arian and so does Kori".
Arian stared up at Kaze, though to be honest there wasn't that much height difference between the pair. "So why was he so mean about it? He was mean about it when I accidentally flooded the bathroom or when I spilt water on the floor that day... He's always mean."
Kaze sighed "I don't know, that's just the way he is - he's always like that. He's like that with everyone, including me." She hoped that that would be an end to it.
"But..." Arian opened his mouth.
Or maybe not. "Don't you want to get the swings?" Kaze asked. "I thought you wanted to see if it'd be like flying" she teased.
That seemed to distract Arian and he took of in the direction of the swings with a 'hurry up' over his shoulder.
Looking around thoughtfully Kaze followed.

Sitting around was becoming boring. Plucking up her lanturn, she stood up and brushed off her backside. Benches always seemed to carry dirt or dust of some kind, and this bench was no exeption. After that was finished, she began to wander aimlessly over towards the swings. Curiosity was one of her strong points, yet one of her flaws as well.
Another was being shy out the wazoo, which is why she kept her mouth shut and her steps soft. She didn't like to talk.
That is, unless it didn't talk back.
She found herself looking down thoughtfully at her lanturn. The woman had a lanturn too. Maybe she could start a convorsation about that.
Yeah, and maybe all of heck would freeze over...

Arian reached the swings first and sat impatiently on the first available one. "Come on Mummy! I need you to help push!" His emerald green eyes were excited - he was going to finally find out if it was like flying.
Kaze smiled "In a minute Arian, give me a minute" she said as she caught up to him. The swings seemed abandonned, people choosing to play round the sand pit, roundabout and slides. Not that it didn't suit the blue haired half sprite that way. It'd be kind of peaceful that way.
Walking behind Arian she thought she saw a woman heading over in the direction of the swings, but then again maybe she wasn't - her stride wasn't purposeful more aimless, kind of heading in a genral direction but not necessarily that direction.
"Make sure to push really high Mummy" Arian said excitedly pointing to a nearby tree. "Maybe if you push me high enough I can touch those branches up there!" The unicorn boy added.

With a sigh Tayne sat down a few swings away. The chains felt cold to the touch, but oddly enough it felt comfortable. She lifted her legs, just to see what would happen. The swing lurched slightly, but not enough to call it a swing.
"How do you make this thing work?" she asked louder then she intended

Kaze smiled secretively at Arian, knowing full well from personal experience that no matter how hard she pushed the unicorn boy was never going to reach the branches he had pointed out. The great thing about swinging though was that you thought you could. To Kaze there was something almost magical about swinging, with the song of wind in your ears and the illusion if for just a little bit of flying..."Aren't you going to push me?"Arian was staring at her curiously, his head tilted slightly to one side and Kaze gave a start at being caught out in her thoughts like that. "Of course" she grinned pulling the swing back and giving it a shove, before giving it another push then another.~ o ~ o ~ o ~ She had just started to start to instruct Arian on how to move his legs so that he could keep swinging on his own when she heard the voice, her head turning automatically in its direction. With a friendly smile she told the girl "I'll come and help you in a minute if you want - I can give you a startup push. The secret is really in how you move your legs though."Arian turned his head to look at the girl and let go of the swing with one hand to give her a wave forgetting he was on a swing, remembering almost after nearly overbalancing. With a sheepish smile he managed not to fall off and instead gave the girl a bright smile, his emerald eyes peering in great interest at her lantern "Hi."

Red took place of her once pale cheeks. Her hand was already over her mouth from when she spoke too loudly, and now she was so overcome with worry that she hadn't taken it down yet. Slowly, as she brought it down, she lowered her gaze.
"He... hello..." she studdered, replying to the boy's chipper greeting.

Arian grinned at the girl taking his eyes briefly away from the lantern to grin at her "Do you have a name? I'm Arian and that's Mummy." His friendly response seemed to either ignore or not notice the girl's stuttering response.
Kaze gave the girl a kindly look a tinge of anxiety in her voice at her nervous-seeming behaviour "Are you ok?" She asked gently. "I won't help if you don't want me to. A startup push always helps when swinging though." She sounded like she knew from experience.

"Tayne... My name is Tayne" she replied, fidgeting with her hands. She never had really spoken to anyone before. She had a reason to act this way.
Or at least that's what she told herself.
"I'm fine..." she said. "There's no need to bother with a push... wouldn't get me that far anyway, seeing as this is all so... strange..." her voice trailed, her mind racing.
Talking definatly wasn't one of her strong suits

"Tayne? I like that name, it's pretty. What does it mean?" Arian looked at Tayne curiously. "Mine means silver I think" he scrunched up his face in thought and then looked at Kaze for confirmation, "Doesn't it Mummy?"
"Pleased to meet you Tayne, my name is Kaze and I don't mind giving you a startup push" Kaze shrugged at Tayne. ""Is it your first time on a swing?"
Tilting her head slightly at Arian's question she gave the unicorn boy a bemused smile. "Yes it does mean silver."

"Thank you..." she said at the boy's compliment. She then looked at Kaze again. Even sitting down in the low swing, she could tell that she was shorter then she, and looked to be about her age, between the late teens and early twenties.
But she also knew that looks could mislead.
"Yes, this is my first time on one of these things. Silly, I know, but when your all alone you have prioreties..." she stopped and realized that she was actually having a conversation with two living beings, and nothing bad was happening...
What the heck?

Kaze nodded at Tayne, although she didn't ask any questions of Tayne about her comment. The blue-haired woman's nod seemed understanding, almost as if she understood what the other was saying.
Arian looked puzzled at Tayne. All alone.. But didn't she get lonely being alone. He opened his mouth to ask her, but closed it again as Mummy gave him a look and shook her head slightly. That only made him more curious, but he figured it was one of those things Mummy had told him he shouldn't ask.
Looking around his eyes fell on Tayne's blue-grey lantern again "It's pretty" he told her.
Kaze dug in her sash and retrieved a small bag of cookies "Would you like a cookie?" she asked Tayne, trying not to laugh at the look on Arian's face as he shifted his attention to her. "And yes you can have one too Arian" she said, answering the question before the unicorn boy could even ask it. "You might want to stop swinging first though."
