When the sun met the moon
Sol
I stalked through the streets of NewCa, I did. Leaping from rooftops to rooftops, the people below had no idea I was here. I searched the faces below, looking for my targets. My targets, a woman with an unknown name, but a sketch of her face; and some sorta girl-demon… they don’t give me any more than that and expect me to find them? It’s impossible, that’s what it is. But no matter, I’d look, but not-just-for-them, I’d look for Night too. My knight in shining dragon scales.
Leaping to another building, I landed too hard, tumbled off the building and landed on someone.
“OW.”
I scrambled off the human cushion, apologising.
“I’m so sorry, I am so so sorry. That was a rookie mistake.”
I bowed while doing it, hoping the person I squashed wasn’t too hurt.
“I’m all right, just surprised. What were you doing up there?”
The rather resilient girl was about eighteen or so, bout as old as I look. She had purple hair and red eyes, wearing all black clothing, and was smiling a polite closed-lipped smile.
“Just jumping, it’s fun, y’ should try it.”
I lied to her. I felt guilty, but jumping IS fun, so the lie is a truthful one.
“Really? Jumping looks painful… look, if you keep jumping off tall building you’ll get seriously hurt… you can’t keep landing on soft people.”
This girl was weird.
“No, from rooftop to rooftop, I just lost balance I did.”
“Oh, that’s all right then… What’s your name?”
Yep, definitely weird.
“Sol.”
“Sol? What a coincidence… I’m Lunamaria… Sol is the sun, Luna is the moon.”
Lunamaria laughed. Her laugh was sort of infectious, so I laughed too, even if I didn’t get the joke.
“Those are nice tattoos.”
Lunamaria blurted it out… I think she felt awkward from before.
“They aren’t tattoos.”
The black lines that ran all over my body were a constant reminder of the past… I felt the bottle of blood under my shirt.
“All right, Lunamaria…”
“Luna.”
“Ok, Luna… I’d best be going… I’ll see y’ round.”
“Bye.”
Luna and I parted ways… and I climbed back onto the rooftop, took a swig, and continued looking, I did. Damn it, where was I supposed to look for these people? Especially the demon… Bone said she was too blood-splattered to get a description… hell, I could land on ‘er and not know it, I could. That girl I just met could be the demon and I wouldn’t know it… I laughed at my joke and moved on.
When the moon met the sun
Lunamaria
It’s been a few weeks since I saw Crystal, and I think I’m finally coming out of the little downward spiral I had for a while. I did a few request these past few weeks and the clear air has done me good…
It was a beautiful day today in Lowtown, the sun was shining, crime was low, and I just cleaned up a little nest of muggers. About half way home, someone landed on me.
“OW.”
It came as a shock, I was walking one second, then a tattooed girl was climbing off of me, bowing.
“I’m so sorry, I am so so sorry. That was a rookie mistake.”
She looked abut twenty something, though looks could be deceiving, and her arms and legs were covered in tattoos.
“I’m all right, just surprised. What were you doing up there?”
Why would someone be on the rooftops?
“Just jumping, it’s fun, y’ should try it.”
Jumping? She meant to jump on me?
“Really? Jumping looks painful… look, if you keep jumping off tall building you’ll get seriously hurt… you can’t keep landing on soft people.”
Wait… maybe I had that wrong.
“No, from rooftop to rooftop, I just lost balance I did.”
Damn, now I feel awkward.
“Oh, that’s all right then… What’s your name?”
She looked at me like I was weird… quick, gotta break the ice.
“Sol.”
“Sol? What a coincidence… I’m Lunamaria… Sol is the sun, Luna is the moon.”
Bloody hell, what the hell am I saying? Change the subject quick!
“Those are nice tattoos.”
“They aren’t tattoos.”
She looked strange… damn… I can’t say anything right.
“All right, Lunamaria…”
“Luna.”
“Ok, Luna… I’d best be going… I’ll see y’ round.”
“Bye.”
I watched her climb back onto the roof. I messed that one up. Can’t blame me, I’ve barely talked to anyone except Akira and Black in the last six months.
Wait… what did I just think? Nobody? I talked to Drake and Crystal, and got into a fight. Spider doesn’t like me, and the clients were all for business… out of them Muramasa was the only one that actually talked to me.
Iv’e had little to no social life for six months, and it’s made me weird, damn it… I need to get out more.
