Lucille

“I’m fine,” Lucy said louder. “Where are we going, mister Fifth Protector?”

@rae

Lucille

Lucy took off her jacket, eyes watering. She shoved it over her face and yelled, her voice muffled. Next to her, Gabriel must have moved closer, but she ignored him and continued panting until the pain abated. The headache turned into a soft throb, low in her temples.

She put the jacket back on, got up, and wiped her nose. “I’m fine.”

@rae

Aaah, yes! That was what I remembered. In contrast Barnes’ mask has nothing on it. I bet you’ve got substantial lore for each symbol.

@rae

I remember seeing Gabriel’s mask in some art with symbols on it. Are those visible to the normal eye, or just Gabriel?

@rae

Lucille

Lucy clutched her short blonde hair and panted. She sat as still as she could, not speaking, until she had to respond. “My head. I-It feels real bad.”

@rae

Lucille

It sounded nothing like anywhere Lucy had ever seen, but reminded her of a book she had read. Her mouth twitched with something like a smile. ”I like hydrangeas. Anthony took a picture of me with…”

She stopped. Sound warped as she lost her balance and sat on a clump of moss. For a moment, she almost cried out, eyes watering.  It f…[Read more]

I’m sorry it’s so short, idk what else to say.

We’re even now

@rae

Lucille

As she often did, Lucy felt an energy like anger, except she did not hate anyone. It was more like her brain was crushed by itself as it tried to understand. She clenched her fists and said nothing.

@rae

Lucille

Lucy closed her eyes and listened. “A little clicking. And the sound of birds.”

That was all. She followed the Protector around a corner. “I suppose you can tell me how I got here?”

@rae

Lucille
“Hm.” Lucy looked at him. She opened her mouth to ask.

@rae

XD I didn’t even realize what I wrote until I posted it

Lucille

“An official record of your birth. It’s where they record your name.”

@rae

Lucille

“Oh. Hm.”

They walked for a little while in silence.

Lucy hopped on one leg, pulling up her stocking. “…So your birth certificate says Fifth Protector?”

@rae

Lucille

Lucy kicked the burned wall a few times, crushing embers with her heel. It didn’t take long for the man to stride ahead, and she had no choice but to follow. “So, uh – hm. Who are you?”

@rae Cool, what’s on his neck?

@rae

Lucille

Lucy leaned forward to study the blaze, rubbing her knuckles against her legs. The charred, moist wall peeled in layers like an old flower bulb. Black, it was already smitten again with dew, and conflicting to look at. The smoke stung her eyes, sweet and bitter.

She took a breath with her sleeve in her face and gagged. She’d have t…[Read more]
