Ballad of Flowers

Chapter 16

                Pinstripe woke up with a small sigh, her dreams filled with confusion and loneliness. O and U were already up, silently talking to eachother. She fights back tears as the thoughts of last night come back to mind, just begging the empty void she had been so familiar with to hold one of her kind, just one. She was so desperate, she had even decided to wait in the alternate pocket of space-time to see if anyone else was there...

                She sat in the eerily silent void, the abyss welcoming to her. It was her home for too long, but now mainly just an occasional form of quick travel. She had brought a small book with her, not enough to keep her entertained as she sighs, letting go of the book as it slowly drifts off into the empty space. She leans backwards, going limp and letting the lack of gravity take her for a spin, pausing once she was at her definition of straight. She swore she saw a small speck in the distance, but brushed it off as a random supernova in the distant, non-visible galaxies. As it persisted, Pinstripe began to doubt her conclusion, focusing on the speck. Could it be what she thought it was?

                The figure came closer as she zoomed towards it, a smile plastered onto her face as she came up to them The figure was rather similar to Pinstripe, the main differences being their head black with a white mask, the hard panel identical to an average face of a female Voidblinker. They seemed a bit lost, their clothes consisting of a Panic! At The Disco t-shirt that was a few sizes too big, and some sweatpants that seemed to hug their thighs gently. She knew that they were in fact a male, her studying finally paying off as she cleared her throat. "Hello there!" She chimes, wanting to make a good impression. They looked up, a bit surprised to see someone else. "Oh, uh... Hey..." They murmur, looking her up and down. "What's up?" He asks, chuckling softly. "Oh, just seeing another Voidblinker in the void and deciding to say hello because you're the only other one I've seen in my life..." Her talking was somewhat fast and nervous, a blush creeping along her cheeks. "Cool, cool... I'm just kinda scrolling through some places on this planet called... Earth... You know anything about it?" She perks up at the mention of Earth, glad she had something to grasp onto in terms of conversation...

                "I-I'm from Earth! Great place! Are you planning on staying? I'd happily let you stay at my home if you are!" Her expression shows how overly excited she is to help, and possibly find someone who could be with her for at least a while. He gives her a strange, confused look as she rambles on, a bit nervous about how excited she was. "Ooooookay?"She sighs in relief. "Thank you sosososososo much sir, I really appreciate it!"She's practically beaming, having to draw back her tentacles so they didn't lash out in excitement. He was a bit curious about where this would lead, so he decided to follow Pinstripe, who was already quickly hovering away, lightly tugging on his arm with a loose tentacle..
