Del, Where Are Youuu?? [completed]

Character(s): Death, Delirium and anyone who'd like to join!
Content: Death enters Paixao
Setting: Joutenheim
Time: Monday evening
Warnings: none, not even deaths :P

Unlike most of her siblings, Death is not really one who is into grand or dramatic entrances, preferring to amble casually toward the gates while yawning lazily with one hand covering her mouth. She goes over to the man who seems to be busily writing down things onto a piece of paper. Standing in front of the man, she smiles casually at him and lifts a hand in greeting, "Hi there, may I come through?"

The man looks up slowly and regards her with an unfriendly look which she returns with a wink. The man scoffs and looks back down at his piece of paper while muttering a "what's your name?" under his breath. My, he is definitely going straight to the point but Death does not want to be recognized just yet, it would ruin all the fun. Rubbing her chin with her left hand, she looks around the place for inspiration for a name, not really caring if the man would find it suspicious; he does not seem to be interested in security anyway, he only seems to be interested about getting his name-writing-job done. "That's a pretty tough question, y'know! I got loads of names." She explains to him to buy herself some time. Then coming up with an idea, she snaps her fingers once, "Aha! You can call me Didi!"

With a grunt, the man makes a gesture for her to go through the gate while shoving a metal object into her hand. She walks into the domes after chirping out a 'thanks' to the man guarding the gate, rather glad to have him regard her normally. She has a tendency to scare people, and the fact that she knows why does not help because she cannot change anything. Shrugging at the thought, she puts her hands behind her head and gazes up at the sparkling constellations above her. A subtle smile graces her lips for awhile and who knows what it is that goes through her mind as she looks up at those fake stars? After a few moments, she shakes herself out of her reverie and puts her hands back at her sides.

Looking around her surroundings with the subtle smile still gracing her lips, she looks down on the metal object that she still holds in her hand. With the edges of her lips curving up to form a brighter smile, she flips it open and looks at it as if it were a birthday gift, "Well, well, what do we have here, I wonder?"

Delirium wasn't much for grand entrances either, but sometimes things just... happened. She'd been talking with a Lord and a Lady and been asked about Go. Like Going or going fish or playing Go fish or maybe there hadn't been any fish involved at all. Either way she had been somewhere else before she was here. Maybe she went sideways, which had been very not-so-polite of her, but she hadn't remembered where she'd been before she was going sideways so it seemed rather hard to go back to before she had gone sideways in the first place. Sometimes she thought the world didn't make very much sense.

So that was how Delirium found herself not where she had been before she had gone sideways, confused, but that was a natural state of being for her. Confusion was good, sometimes she wanted to put salt on the rim of confusion and lick it off and have a beer. Margarita. Whtie Russian, she didn't like chess so much, but she really enjoys connect four.

And maybe she wanted to go away again, but then she thought maybe she didn't because her toes were nice and warm and she had gotten a skirt from before she had gone sideways and after. So she had a green skirt and she had a shirt, maybe. Maybe it was a shirt to catch fishies in, and maybe it was indecent but she didn't really ~~care~~ know.

So Delirium had just finished going sideways and she was warming her toes on concrete and giggling at the dirt beneath her skin because it was beneath and not on top and she liked it because it was beneath and warm like a bath or a hot glass of champagne which didn't burn that much.

Really.

Flipping the metal object that she now recognizes as a journal, she puts it safely in her right pocket after making a a journal entry (http://callmedidi.livejournal.com/752.html) as well as looking at other people's journals. A giggle from behind her makes her turn her head slightly to look over her shoulder, still with a smile on her face. From the over her shoulder, her eyes fall on a girl with mismatched eyes giggling at something.

With a hop and a turn, Death faces Del with a wide smile and her hands clasped in front of her chest, "Oh, you're here!" Her sister's unclear reason for giggling does not bother her much, and walking over to her sister's side, she offers Del a hand, "how did you end up here, hm?"

Delirium rocked back on her heels, just a bit, fingers fanning out behind her as if this would help keep her steady. A slow smile accompanied her giggles, rolling from one side of her face to the other before she nodded. Yes. Of course. Affirmation. Agreement.

"heLlo!"

She offered her sister a piece of multicolored twine that had a coffeebean on the end. A hand offered meant she should give something and coffee was nice. So was her sister, Death, nice, and kind of like coffee. Like Dream and probably Destiny and all of them they were all dark and light. Except Destruction, she missed him, but he was red and white like her. She didn't always used to be red but then she was and change happened so very quickly when she wasn't paying attention to it.

"...uHm, i weNt aWay fRom thE otHEr plAce. aNd uHm, mEt a loRd."

Yes, of course.

Death giggles as her little sister places a multicolored twine with a coffeebean on the end. For all her quirks, she finds that it is utterly impossible not to love Del; she is just so adorable! Somehow bending the twine so that she can put it on her hair, she places it just above her right ear before taking Del's hand. ...uHm, i weNt aWay fRom thE otHEr plAce. aNd uHm, mEt a loRd.

"You met a lord, hm?" Death asks as she starts walking into the city. "Was he nice, Del?" Walking in silence is never nice and it's better to talk about unnecessary things while they explore the city. She has found what she was looking for, but something about this place is intriguing and she just has to see it. Other than that, there was also this man she does not know, which is very strange. She hopes she can find out why without consulting her brother, that would be cool!

Delirium nodded and rocked on her heels again. The bean was not so lonely now. But Delirium wished it was a bubble because bubbles were fun. Until they popped, then they were messy.

"oH, veRy and thEre was a lAdy thEre too~, sHe wAs cute." She beamed up at Death.

"...i'Ve loSted my doGgy." she said solemnly.

oH, veRy and thEre was a lAdy thEre too~, sHe wAs cute. Death lets out another chuckle as her little sister beams up at her. For all the strange and seemingly pointless things Del likes to say, Death knows all too well that her sister knows everything and that her words usually mean much more than they sound to be. "That's wonderful! I'd like to meet them one day!"

She keeps walking on with Del's hand in hers when suddenly Del mutters, ...i'Ve loSted my doGgy. Stopping, Death turns around and regards her sister with a little smile, "Barnabas? Is he in this world, Del?" She asks. Then realizing that her little sister probably is unsure, she gives Del a quick hug and pats on the back before pulling away while still placing her hands on the little girl's shoulders. She offers Del a wider smile, "Don't worry, I'll help you find him!"

Delirium didn't think Barnabas would be Elsewhere, really. She wasn't sure, however, because sometimes he went Elsewhere when she went Somewhere. Maybe he went away like her brother. She hoped not, she wanted him to be here.

"...uHm, gOod, beCause he miGht be scAred."

She had to look after Barnabas afterall. Destruction had given him to her. She had to make sure he was safe.

"...is anYonE elSe heRe? oR aRe we oNly hEre?"

...uHm, gOod, beCause he miGht be scAred. Death chuckles gleefully at her little sister, wondering how the youngest of the Endless could care so much about others despite her... condition. She remembers the time when Del managed to drag Dream all over the place to look for Destruction when the latter disappeared for several centuries. It is utterly endearing to see someone with such quality. "We should find him quick then, before he gets scared!"

Perhaps the reason why Del is so fond of Barnabas is because her favorite brother had given him to her. She just hopes that the others would come here soon to help her find her dog since she is simply not good at finding lost things. Seemingly reading her thoughts, Del asks, ...is anYonE elSe heRe? oR aRe we oNly hEre? That made Death think for a moment.

"Hmm...I'm not sure, really," she puts a finger on her lips but does not stop walking while she ponders. "They should be here in a way, but not in the way we are here, do you get me?" She wonders if she is the one sounding more delirious than her sister, sometimes.

Delirium let out an exaggerated sigh. This was worse than when the woman who had a half-moon mask had told her to go away. And then she had pointed and everything and then the nice man with the piano had helped her and then. She didn't know. Or maybe none of that had happened yet, it was hard to tell.

"...oH. maYbe we shOuld finD a maZe?"

It would be easiest to find Destiny, of course. Maybe. Except he wasn't very nice sometimes and Delirium hadn't seen any mazes. She hadn't been looking thought. Maybe she should make one.

"one thAt is tuRny and toPply."

A frown forms on her lips as her little sister lets out an exaggerated sigh from behind her. Death chews on her lower lip as her little sister follows, ...oH. maYbe we shOuld finD a maZe? one thAt is tuRny and toPply. She ignores her little sister's chatters as a thought fills her mind with worry. Del's question about whether their siblings are here made her wonder about something and stopping yet again, she looks back over her shoulder, "Hey Del, why don't you go back first while I look for Barnabas, hm?"

Something tells her that dragging her sister all around this unfamiliar place might be dangerous and while she does not know what happened to her the last time she changed, Death does not want anything bad happening to her sister. Taking the life out of her own siblings is something she does not even wish to think about, even though it is inevitable, in the end. She offers her little sister a smile, "I'll let you play with Slim and Wandsworth while you wait!"

That was a very tempting offer. But Delirium had remembered something else she had been looking for. The Soft Thing because they had been together and then they weren't. She hoped he was still around because he was very Soft and she liked Soft.

"...uHm, bUt i wAnt to havE gLue coNes." Delirium protested, a bit, "...and tHe soFt thIng is loSted tOo. and the loRd and laDy neEd and oF..."

There were a lot of things she had to do, and she wanted to be responsible (sometimes) like her brother (sometimes). Though she didn't want to be as dreary as him, because he needed more colors.

...uHm, bUt i wAnt to havE gLue coNes. Keeping her lips fixed in a smile is hard as she does not even have any idea what Del means by glue cones, but still the smile is plastered on her face as she listens to her little sister ramble on about what she wants. ...and tHe soFt thIng is loSted tOo. and the loRd and laDy neEd and oF...

"Uhm..." was all that Death could muster as her little sister tries to explain all that she still needs to do in this world. "Well..." she starts, placing a finger on her lips in thought, "why don't you tell me where we should go to get glue cones and find soft thing? I might be able to help the lord and lady as well if you tell me what to do!"

Right after she has finished saying those words, she realizes what a stupid suggestion that is since she would probably find her sister rather hard to decipher.

That was much better. Now all she had to do was remember where everything was. Glue cones were with that person. She wasn't sure where that was, but maybe if she walked around she could find it. The Soft Thing had gone to the other place ... over there. And the Lord and Lady were back before she went here. It all made perfect sense.

"...ovEr thEre befoRe i caMe hEre was the loRd and the lAdy and beFore that on twO was the soFt thIng. i doN't know where the gLue coNes weNt. mAybe they haVen't hAppened yet."

...ovEr thEre befoRe i caMe hEre was the loRd and the lAdy and beFore that on twO was the soFt thIng. i doN't know where the gLue coNes weNt. mAybe they haVen't hAppened yet. Right, now what should she do. Death crouches so that she is looking up at Del's mismatched eyes instead of the other way around. It feels better that way, she does not like towering over others as it makes her feel cold and distant.

"Hm..." Death mumbles while tucking a stray strand of Del's strawberry-colored hair behind her ear. "I'm not so sure about glue cones but I can surely get you sugar cones," she tries bargaining; there should be an amusement park of somekind in this city. Then smiling at Del as if they have just shared a secret, "and as for the lord and lady and soft thing, why don't we just pop off to where they are, hm?"

That was a very tempting offer in deed. Sugar cones were wonderful. She liked the ones that were different colors and melted and were sticky and cold and sweet. And all that sort of thing. And now her sister was offering to get her one! She didn't know if they would be as good as glue cones (or as bad) but it did sound like a fair exchange.

"... caN i hAve bLue and yEllow and puRple?" Delirium asked only for one condition.

"Of course!" Death agrees to Del's request. Sugar cones are always colorful and it shouldn't be hard to find a blue, yellow and purple ones. Now all she has to do is find a sugar cone to make Del happy and maybe try to persuade her to go home while she looks for Barnabas, find the soft thing and help the lord and lady.

Death takes Del's hand in hers and stands up while still keeping her eyes on her little sister. The smile that she has on at the beginning of the meeting is still plastered on her face, "Let's go find the blue, yellow and purple sugar cones! I feel like a red one, myself," she chuckles briefly at her lame joke. No one seems to realize it when the two of them disappears without a trace, leaving only the mysterious sound of many wings.
