Tears and Drops for Abyss

Chapter 5 Ascension

Taking Doku's hand, Lucille feels a sense of 'nearing' happiness. But once she hears her Aunt call for her from the other room, that disappears and Lucille even quickly pulls her hand away, making a motion to be quiet. 'They can't know about anything yet! I want to leave this house, but they can't suspect anything!' Are the troubling thoughts Doku reads.

The motioned departure is overall uneventful, but there are a few odd looks given to Lucille and Doku by Lucille's Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. All of them have the same pattern: they look at Doku and don't react, they look at Lucille seeing she's happy, then look back at Doku with squinted, almost angry eyes or expressions. Lewdly holding hands once outside, the pair walk out of Lucille's house feeling a strange sense of distant danger. "Do you feel that?" Doku asks, as a hair on body feels a small static shock. Lucille answers "Y-yeah. They didn't look happy at us walking side by side" as they both continue onward at a slower pace than either wants.

"Say... I think they're suspicious of us for some reason" says Doku, coming to a stop down the small driveway. And once she feels her own emotions, Lucille works it out. "A-ah, it was because I was happy. I'm never happy in that house." To which Doku puts a hand on Lucille's shoulder then asking "Ok, is there any technology you can use to discreetly pack your things? If this lot are suspicious now, well, they'd probably try to stop you from leaving somehow." "See, the bad thing is: you're right, they would. Not so much technology, but there is an old-ish Builder's Tool." "Right that sounds like it'd work going by the way you said that. Any downsides..?" The pair begin walking slowly back to the house, as Lucille explains "All my stuff would be split into its parts. The material would weigh- Oh you're gonna carry it~" "I am?" "You are now. Easiest moving out anyone's probably ever done. But that can be a money-earner for later, right now I've got 20 years of BS to grab" saying this Lucille motions in for a kiss but stops. 

Before she pulls away though, Doku immediately reciprocates the notion but goes one further by biting Lucille's bottom lip. "Mm?!" And with this oh so smug, sadistic expression Doku says "Marking you as mine~ A mark of deviance and freedom."

With this now less happy expression, Lucille returns to the house. "Forget something?" Is what she's asked the moment she opens the door, only to see her cousin standing in the doorway to the kitchen with this unsettling air about him. "Yeah, pretty much everything including my handbaaag." Answers Lucille in this awkward, almost slurred fashion from being tired. Not physically, but emotionally and psychologically just from re-entering the house. "Y'mean this? Here! Catch!" And in an overarm throw, the handbag is forcefully thrown at Lucille for her to catch, with Doku just stood at the exit watching this go down. She steps forward, but a voice instantly says "No, you're not welcome in here anymore" while the door is slammed shut. Or at least it was attempted to be shut, on Doku's foot. The door bends and cracks when it collides though. Her response being "Well that's just RUDE." Before grabbing the doorknob and turning it to try to open the door, but a man is standing against it, intentionally keeping her out with all his strength. "DAd no-" "-Shut the fuck up. I overheard your plan to leave and it's not happening yet. You're not allowed to leave yet." "Then when AM I allowed to leave?? I'm an adult now!" Her father glares and Lucille's fear paralyses her. "We can and WILL keep you here by force."

But, Doku isn't some ordinary person on standby.

In fact, seeing how Luci's father just made her be quiet, Doku forces the door open and pushes the father despite him digging his boot heels into the floor. This only causes them to be scraped against the stoney tiles, scratching and breaking them to bits. So what does this guy decide to do? Run up and punch Doku straight in the face of course! "Really?" Is her response, before then punching Lucille's father right back in the jaw. I'd actually call this rolling dice with teeth because of the way his teeth splayed out of his mouth.
