grey face

hollow eyes

dull colors

a blank smile


a black slate



Cold and alone, locked away in their own solitude. There is no desire, but those of others. Now what to do? 

"O? are you there?" A desire just a fragment, that which others give, one I crave and cherish.



"....Yeah, do you need something Marigold?" I say as I sit up from my bed, my voice was as empty and echoing as always, and my expression fabricated, but that was something by now expected of by Gold, however she still seemed disappointed.

"Just wanted to check in with you.... You know you can call me just Gold..!" she said with a small smile as she stepped into the room, the white shirt and pants contrasting well against the unlit interior of  my unlit and dark toned room.

"Isn't that your title?"

"Name O, it's name." She corrected. She sat down next to me on my bed. "And yes Marigold is my name but I use Gold, like... how I call you O."

"mmm" I looked up at good, "but your still Marigold, I am O."

She just sighed, irritation, "Sure, call me what you'd like." She gently stroked her fingers through my hair, "You still have your morning hair, still fluffy and soft but a big 'ol mess." It gave a vague feeling of confort, not very well expressed by my part.

I hummed in displeasure as she messed with my hair, "I'll go brush it." I say plainly as I get up and start walking towards the restroom, Down the hallway.... before I could even get to the door I was grabbed by my fore arm, a gentle, delicate grab, but I quickly pulled away as I turn back to Gold.

"Forgot." she quickly said with an apologetic tone, I nod slightly, she knew that I meant it was fine. She had left a little pause before continuing, "I was just playing.... your hair is fine, Like I said I wanted to check on you.... and it doesn't really look like your having a thrilling time.. so why don't we go play chess? or maybe I could bring the board and all-"

"Sure." I say and nod, that sounded nice... chess, "We can go."

"Yah sure?"

I nod again and we both make the... fairly familiar walk into the 'Commons', such an odd name. I just follow Gold, she's like a guard, a familiar, I don't know anyone else, but I know Gold likes being around people and I can tune them out with a good game of chess so what does it matter?
