All-Day-Sucker [Anzeh]

[RuetheDay]

The tall oaks stood high, branches creating a shady canopy shedding sharps of light through the beautiful summer green. It was peaceful, a quiet walk through the woods but Rue grew bored. Her grey eyes scanned the underbrush as she wandered, tossing her straight waist length fire engine red hair, she smirked and continued padding down the dirt trail.

I love the out doors... Its so... Peaceful. Rei cooed happily.

Rue groaned, had she known her way around this part she would have left this godforsaken place by now. Slamming her back against the trunk of a tree, she slid down the flat side of it to sit on the ground. Pulling her knees closer to her chest, she straightened the red lace of her Lolita dress, tugging idly on the lopsided bow she had adopted in replacement of her usual lacy headband.

Pulling from her familiar black leather messenger bag, a large colourful all-day-sucker gleamed in the light, a delicious mouth watering candy. Her favourite. Stripping it of its cellophane wrapper she proceeded to suck on it in the overly boisterously seductive way that she did. The epitome of the Loli stereotype but with a certain bad-ass attitude that was only Rue.

She had to admit, she was full of herself. But as many have stated. "Rightfully so." So in celebration of her awesomeness, a treat, perhaps? Though none of the real all day suckers had arrived yet... In the end, she knew she'd bait them out.

Meanwhile, high in the trees above Rue’s head there sat two cats. Both were male, indeed both had basically the same genetic makeup, the same DNA shared between them and their appearances inseparable. They’d been in the trees for the past couple hours, in fact, they’d been following the girl since she entered the forest. Grimoire didn’t see the girl’s appeal, but Jericho refused to stop following her, and Grimoire didn’t was to be separated from his little brother. So the two of them follwed her around, almost as though connected to her by twine.

All of a sudden and for no reason at all, Jericho began to giggle as though he was high. If they had been any other species besides Cheshire Cats, Grimoire would be worried. However, knowing this was what they were, he acknowledged it as just being natural. More than most likely the female below had heard the giggle.

“Hahaha! Little girlie is losty-losty!” Jericho began to sing as he jumped from tree branch to tree branch like a demented monkey. He hadn’t bothered with full invisibility, so all she saw were angular eyes bouncing around.

“Yes yes! All losty!” Grimoire added earnestly, sounding nothing short of insane or irreparably high, like his younger brother. There were two sets of angular eyes bouncing around, causing leaves to flutter down to the ground and rain on Rue.

“What should we dooo?” they asked in unison and dropped down to the ground after coating the ground in green leaves.

Wrapping her tongue around the succulent sweet, Rue sat idly her gray eyes unfocused on her surroundings but suddenly brought back to life be a small laugh that came from above, she looked up to see nothing, her almond shaped bedroom eyes blinking confusedly. "Huh?"

Had she truly lost it? Was she hearing things? It wasn't Rei, Rei was peculiarly silent today. She didn't laugh like that. The laugh sounded like that of someone so very, very messed up on a drug of some sort of maybe alcohol. A drunk stalker? Again? Yeesh. Working after hours in the Bite Cafe maybe wasn't quite a bright idea. Oh well.

As the first set of angular eyes floated before her her expression went into "WTF" mode as she stared at them only even more frazzled by the almost disembodied voices. She had lost it. Completely lost it. And as the second floated down, continuing with the same sing-song tone, their bouncing around had caused leaves to slowly flutter down from the tree, an abundance falling into her long red hair.

Rue sighed audibly giving in. Either this was a cruel joke or she was becoming even worse of a schizo. "Quite, quite. I am actually very lost." Her British accent slithered out with her ever-sensual voice. What was it this reminded her of? It was a book she'd read at a young, young age... one of the slivers of her memory she had regained. It was all too much like that...

Grimoire and Jericho continued to laugh like little imps of insanity, jumping and bouncing and crawling all over each other as though it were the most natural thing in the world. All of a sudden they both shrank till they looked like tiny lightning bugs, but their voices were as loud as ever.

"What should we do?"

"Lead her out of course!"

"Its this way!"

"Its that way!"

"It's every-which way!"

Each twin sat on a separate shoulder, sometimes conversing to each other and sometime to Rue. It was Grimoire who spoke first. "But really its that-a way." He pointed, but this she could not see since he was tiny and mostly invisible.

[RuetheDay]

Rue looked about as the voices sounded from either of her shoulders where their apparent presences were. It took her a moment but she knew they weren't dead, they weren't just lost spirits playing with her head. They were very, very much alive. She was very confused and just tried to organize her thoughts mentally trying to retrace her steps. Sadly, Rue's sense of direction sucked. Lapping at her lollipop she sided, not having to make an effort to play along? It was obvious, she'd never get out of here.

"Is it that way or this way, this way or that?" She sighed in a not so sad but more entirely bored. "What does it matter, I will be lost forever at this rate..." Licking at the loli once more she asked, "Who are you two anyway?" Quite interested in the reply she might recieve.

Grimoire & Jericho Mist

"I suppose the way out depends on which way you start walking." tiny Jericho, placed on her left shoulder, let his head twist up and around like a demented clockface. It didn't hurt at all actually. "Perhaps we should have her walk until she gets out?"

"Oh, but she'll be attacked by centaurs then!"

"Urban legends, the lot of them! Everyone knows that!"

"The pot calling the kettle black?"

"Indeed indeed!" Jericho said with a demented laugh.

"I am Grimmy and he is my assistant Jerry. We shall lead you through the fire and the flames."

"I do love that song."

"As do I."

Grimoire, positioned on her right shoulder, jumped up and down so she would know to pay attention to him. "Okay, so first you must stand and take a step in the direction you assume to be out."

"Nice to meet you both, I guess. I'm Rue..." She murmured, standing up, to brush the dirt off her skirt and pull the leaves from her hair. Great... More riddles and games. It was best she just played along... Wasn't really any other way out of this. Lapping at her lolipop she replied. "But what if that is not the way out? That makes not sense..."

Attempting to see through the trees so that maybe she might spy the top of the school... How castle like it was... It indeed stood out.... But she failed and turned to them.

"Well then," She began walking slow enough for them to catch up on the path to her right. "Is this the right way? A little help, would be appreciated."
