Words: Ocean Breeze

Second Table

Slave – Aina

Aina knew she's always been a slave to her feelings, always feeling more than other people, something she didn't realize like her father did until she froze in fear upon looking up at so many strong Dolls which reminded her of Dark Falz, yet Aina also knew now that despite always being a slave to her feelings, she would always conquer that fear within in her, as she had a friend standing by her.

Slow – Aina & Gororon

Aina watched the Gororon moved slowly from up on a cliff, for while the Doll was most definitely formidable, even dangerous, the sound of the giant round belly drumming reminded her of home – of Aelio Town and once was, in a way which didn't want to make her shake in fear or run crying, instead of thinking of the happy memories of the ones she loved and could no longer see.

Boring – Aina

Life in Aelio Town was boring unless a Meteoran was falling out of the sky; Aina wondered if she should regret ever thinking that, now that there was no life in Aelio Town.

Meeting – Central City Staff

The meetings—normally they were boring and mundane—then Dark Falz showed himself and things picked up in pace, the normalcy is thrown out the window.

Trust – Aina & Player Character & Mannan

Trust—it hurts to flinch on the battlefield knowing afterward that those you trust may come to hurt, but realizing that you're not alone and remembering the reasons for fighting builds up even more trust.

Secret – Aina & Player Character & Mannon

There was something different about the newest Meteoran; Mannon didn't care as they were a powerful ally to fight against the Dolls, even though there was an inkling in her mind that there was something more, while Aina simply thought of them as a new friend.

Fun – Aina/Mannon

"What do we do on our day off?" Mannon asked before Aina dragged her around Central City on what felt like a date.

Touch – Aina/Mannon

A touch on the hand from Mannon chased away the sadness brought on by thinking about the ones lost and a smile flickered onto Aina's face.

Wish – Aina/Garoa

"I wish you were here," Aina said—her wish to her father.

Wrong – Aina

The feeling Aina got off Dark Falz, even some of the heavy-hitting Dolls felt so wrong, almost as if there was a person there, taken over by something else—she brushed it aside as mere fear.

Pause – Aina & Player Character & Mannon

Rarely would there be a break from fighting, given the appearance of Dark Falz, yet they would take what they could when they could – Aina, Mannon, and the newest Meteoran.

Alone – Garoa & Dark Falz

Garoa looked into Dark Falz and sensed a sudden feeling of loneliness, of being alone while knowing something wasn't right—then the light happened in a flash, and...

Blind – Manon & Player Character

The light from Dark Falz was blinding, but when the two Meteoran came to, they felt numb at realizing Aelio Town was gone.

Dancing – Aina & Garoa

In the darkness, in the firelight, the people of Aelio Town danced—the festival celebrated new life and a small child sat on her father's shoulders watching, admiring the flow of orange and blue, a pleasant memory for later on.

Hard – Aina & Garoa

Aina remembered strong arms formed from hard muscles, holding her safe and secure, yet that was now all gone.

Regret – Garoa & Dark Falz & Aina

Garoa looked into Dark Falz; his one regret—not being able to see Aina become the strong ARKS operative he knew she could be.

Magic – Aina & Player Character

Seeing the newest Meteoran move, was like seeing magic in action.

Pain – Aina

There is no erasing the pain of losing someone, but Aina knew she could only move forward—could she became she would.

Rainbow – Rappy

Watching the Rappy sing is pleasant like a rainbow after a storm.

Bravery – Aina & Garoa

Aina remembered watching from behind, remembering how strong and brave her father was, how much she admired him; she was a different kind of ARKS Operative, but she wanted to be just like him.

Blanket – Aina & Garoa

The blanket was warm, covering a small head; Garoa pulled back the blanket slowly, saying, "Now where's my little Aina."

Water – Aelio Town

The water in from of Aelio Town was pristine, even after Dark Falz attacked, yet the scars were there on the beach, a stark contrast.

Protect – Garoa

Garoa lived to protect; he died to protect.

Dark – Dark Falz

The secret of Dark Falz, they take hosts and its latest host...

Kiss – Aina/Mannon

Aina blushed; kissing Mannon was like butterflies, perhaps.

Strength – Aina & Garoa

His strength, Aina always admired and wanted to mirror, yet she found she was a different type of ARKS operative, but this was okay.

Fear – Aina

Fear—fear is a part of life that everyone struggled with, yet Aina didn't know what to do to overcome her fear.

Stairs – Aina & Mannon & Player Character

Walking up the stairs of Central City's walls, Aina turned, smiling at her two friends; things would be okay, or so she hoped.

Perfect – Aelio Town

Life in Aelio Town was perfect; then it was no more.

Robots – CAST

CAST – how they came to be was a mystery, the longest-lasting ARKS operatives; they simply were.
