Cinderella wants her daughter back, but how?.
Sophie: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "They're still not done?"
Lina: "Nope."
Violet: "Hehehehehe.."
Cossette: "Hehehe.."
They giggled behind the door.
Fiona: "They seem to be having fun…"
Lina: "Yeah.."
Sophie: "How about we leave them be and enjoy something ourselves… a drink maybe… we don't have anything to do anyway…"
(Meanwhile)
Zantanel: "Well, well, look at that…"
Cinderella: "Hey…"
Zantanel: "Cinderella... have you decided to come to me?"
Cinderella: "You won't get my powers, dear… but… I could help you."
Zantanel: "Mhmm….I'm listening."
Cinderella: "My daughter… Rapunzel… can you free her?"
Zantanel: "Darling… even if that's the case… I'm only half dead, half human…. which means I'm still human….. even if I'm cursed and carry the curse of death… I can't do something like that…. besides…. I don't even know where she is."
Cinderella: "In Snow Time…"
Zantanel: "Snow Time….. that's very far away."
Ruslana: "At the ass-end of the world…. Hmph.."
Zantanel: "Snow Time….. so… snow time... hmmmm….."
Cinderella: "Mmmh.."
Zantanel: "Hahhh….. you've regained more than half your powers now…. this is going to be difficult... alright then….. I'll help you but…. what do I get out of it?"
Cinderella: "Mmm..."
Zantanel: "Hmm?"
Cinderella: "I don't know….. but…. it's near Wonderland."
Zantanel: "Wait….. so you know where it is?"
Cinderella: "Of course I do…. but…. I can only guide you there... well... Alice and I... aren't exactly good friends.. hehehe."
Zantanel: "Good…. lead us there…. and I'll…. help you if possible…. but how exactly?"
Cinderella: "You have to break the seal….. it was made by Alice….. it's enough if you take some of her power."
Zantanel: "Can we kill her?"
Cinderella: "If you want the beings of Wonderland to come here….. and some of them are incredibly dangerous…. not to mention the Abyss….. a part of it…. specifically a castle….. that leads to the Abyss….. do you really want to risk that?….."
Zantanel: "Hmmm…. a gate?"
Cinderella: "Yes….. the Gate….. of Oz.... If you open it and kill Alice, which is nearly impossible anyway... because Alice…. is very powerful…. even my brother…. could have trouble with her….. she's the strongest witch in the world …. she controls five arcane abilities… time, nature, snow, darkness, and sword magic….. plus she has very strong followers and they're loyal to her... you can't kill her…. even if you could, I'd advise against it... it could become a catastrophe….. if you just take part of her powers…. then it's not a problem….. oh by the way.. Alice always has mana….. no matter how much magic she uses….."
Ruslana: "Miss Zantanel... do you really think this is a good idea?"
Jack: "Hmm.."
Zantanel: "Hmmm…. does Alice have a weakness?"
Cinderella: "Yes…... the key wheel on her back….. she has a heart disease, or rather a heart curse... but….. it's practically impossible... the wheel is incredibly strong….. and even if you turn it….. it would only slow her down a little, nothing more…. to kill her….. hmmm…. I don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you…... still, that wheel is her weak point."
Zantanel: "A wheel?….. Hmmm….. like a toy?"
Cinderella: "It's a damn fairy tale world, what did you expect?….. nobody there is normal ... there are even talking animals…."
Ruslana: "Wooow…"
Jack: "Crazy…"
Cinderella: "So… what now, will you help me?"
Zantanel: "Okay…."
Cinderella: "But I warn you….. Alice must not be harmed….. I know you want chaos.. but I think this kind of chaos…... well…... it won't be the kind you want."
Zantanel: "Hmmm….."
(meanwhile)
Sophie: "Hmmm.."
Fiona: "(Gulp)…."
Sophie: "You've been reading that book for an hour... what kind of book is it?"
Fiona: "A book that explains nature…. and some events .."
Sophie: "Hmmm…. Oh... John Edward ….. I didn't know you were a fan of him."
Fiona: "I'm not….. the guy tells stories in such a way that sometimes I wonder…. what exactly he wants from the reader…... but this work here…. The Tears of the Flowers... is actually interesting…"
Sophie: "Hmmm... what's it about?"
Fiona: "Hahh….. a curse came into the forest…. because of it, the forest became alive and took on human-like forms... and they want to kill humans…. because humans destroy nature….. the plants that do this are called Flower Sentinels…"
Sophie: "Ohh….. interesting….."
Fiona: "I can lend it to you once I finish the first volume."
Sophie: "There's more than one?"
Fiona: "There are twelve volumes….. by the way….. the author himself died a while ago…... some people say he was killed by the government….."
Sophie: "Ugh why?"
Fiona: "Well…. in his last work, The Silence About Suffering…. he portrayed many nobles…. in a very bad light…"
Sophie: "...Oh.."
Fiona: "Personally I don't think he was murdered... I mean.. the guy died at 80…. it's entirely possible it was just old age.. some people often make stories out of things like that because they can't accept that someone they love is dead... or to create conspiracies….."
Sophie: "Hmmm."
Fiona: "But….. that's just how it is, humans need to understand….. that people can die."
Sophie: "Hmmm... where's Lina?"
Fiona: "She's sleeping..."
Sophie: "Ohh... did something happen?"
Fiona: "No, but Lina said she had nothing to do and …. well, apparently she thought sleeping was the best option…"
Sophie: "Oh...."
Fiona: "Hmm…"
She put the book down…
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "I finished the first volume …. I'm telling you, it's really cool….. when you have time.."
Sophie: "Hmmm.."
She stood up and walked to the kitchen..
(Crack)
Fiona: "Mmm…"
She ate an apple….
Sophie: "Mhm.."
Sophie smiled slightly.
Sophie: "Hmmm.."
Fiona: "What?…... did I do something funny?"
Sophie: "Hehehe... no…. but I think it's good that you're finally resting a bit…"
Fiona: "Hmmm... you're worried about me?….. don't do that in front of people…"
Sophie: "Huh?…..."
Fiona: "I don't mind... you can spend time with me whenever you want…. but others like him over there might get ideas. Siegfried's watching us."
Siegfried: "Him over there?... am I really that annoying?"
Fiona: "Nice that you noticed it yourself…. after all.."
Sophie: "Hmph….. you're boring... Siegfried."
Siegfried: "Hey…Master?."
Meliodas: "Shut the hell up….. I'm working!!!"
He shouted from his office..
Siegfried: "(Sweats)…."
Sophie: "..Uhmm…. when it comes to work... Master Meliodas is completely different…. especially when it comes to documents."
Fiona: "Yeah... 'shut the hell up' is still mild…. remember when he once…"
(Memory)
Sophie: "Master?"
Fiona: "Master."
Meliodas: "Aaaaaaarghh... I fu(Bleep)..ing hate this work... this fu(Bleep)…ing printer... I'll fu(Bleep) his mother…."
Sophie: "(Sweats).. Uhmm."
Fiona: "(Gulp)…. we... should probably leave…"
(End of memory)
Siegfried: "Is it….. really that bad?"
Sophie: "Well…... when it comes to paperwork, I can understand."
Fiona: "Yeah... we have to do it often too."
Sophie: "I always do it in the late afternoon."
Fiona: "I always do it early in the evening….. then I'm done with it…. but... since Meliodas is our.. boss…. he obviously has far more documents."
Sophie: "Mhm."
He came out.
Meliodas: "Hahhh... hahhh…... two hundred…... documents."
Sophie: "Huh.. that many?"
Fiona: "(Sweats)... okay….. anyone would get annoyed at that.."
Meliodas: "They're all about the Tom Fog case… or Zantanel… and some missions like the one in Titia.."
Sophie: "A report."
Fiona: "Hmm.. I guess that means... we'll leave the Slavic Empire soon?…"
Meliodas: "Well …. I do think we'll go somewhere else eventually…. but for now we stay here…. why... are you bored?"
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "We haven't had a mission in three weeks."
Sophie: "Yeah…."
Meliodas: "And yet you always wanted more vacations."
Sophie: "For two weeks... but not for three. Three is too much for me."
Fiona: "Exactly.. huge difference…"
Violet came out with Cossette…
Cossette: "Ohhh….. that was wonderful."
Violet: "Yeah.."
Cossette: "You have such beautiful skin.... Violet…"
Violet: "Hehehe…... you might be right…"
Cossette: "Fiona's skin always looks so…. tired."
Fiona: "Thank you very much…. whose fault is it that I'm always worried?…"
Cossette: "Huh?…. mine maybe?….. nope….."
Fiona: "Yes."
Cossette: "Mmmm….. okay... maybe you take care of me…. but I take care of you too….."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "Yeah….. with... uhmm….. uhmm….. with….. uhhhh.."
Fiona: "Yes?"
Cossette: "With... waking you up…"
Fiona: "You've only woken me up once so far."
Cossette: "Mmm.... I never said you don't have beautiful skin…. I'm sure if you took better care of yourself…. you'd get even more beautiful skin…. hehehe….. you already do... but... with more effort it could become even better…"
Violet: "OH you two really get along!"
Cossette: "Of course…. she's like a mom to me."
Fiona: "(Blushes)... hey…. stop that…. not in front of the….."
Cossette: "But it's true... you even sing sometimes."
Fiona: "Ughh (Blushes)
She hid her face behind her hat.
Violet: "Nohhh... that's so cute!"
Sophie: "Look at that…. someone's a little embarrassed?"
Fiona: "Ughhh...... and you... you're like a mother figure to Oliver."
Sophie: "Yeah, sadly he's not here…... the mission was too dangerous for him... that's why I left him behind for now…. I miss him.."
Fiona: "Hahh….. like a mother."
Sophie: "Shut up.."
Fiona: "You shut up."
Sophie: "Ughh….. hey, I'll smack you in a second."
Fiona: "Hahh... at least I have cheeks…. you on the other hand don't."
Sophie: "Ugh... and what are these then, look at my cute cheeks."
Fiona: "Hahh.. they're not cute…."
Sophie: "Oh yes they are.. Parzival loved touching them….. he called me his little strawberry."
Fiona: "(Sweats)…. that ….. isn't really something to be proud of... but whatever…"
Violet: "(Sweats)…. are they always like this?"
Cossette: "At this rate I could sleep another year.."
(Krach)
The door opened…
Chloe: "Alert.. high five!!"
Sophie: "(Sweats).. high what?"
Fiona: "That means red alert... you dumb idiot…"
Chloe: "I found something.... twenty coins!"
Sophie: "(Sweats)….. okay…. and now?"
Fiona: "(Sweats).. she ….. probably hasn't gotten her salary yet so she's happy."
Sophie: "Or she already spent it all."
Fiona: "Hmm."
(….)
Sophie: "Yeah."
Fiona: "One hundred percent spent... just look at all the stuff in her room….. one question…. why in the world did you have to hang that weird shirtless guy in there."
Sophie: "Ew….. that's Jerome Forbs….. you do know he was arrested for several crimes against women?"
Chloe: "So what?... I like brutal guys."
Fiona: "(Sweats)... sometimes I feel like women are often partly to blame when they get beaten."
Sophie: "Yeah….. if you fall in love with those kinds of people... I mean... what do you expect, that he'll suddenly be nice to you specifically?"
Fiona: "Hahh.. all that makeup doesn't help…. why do you even wear makeup, you're already pretty."
Chloe: "To cover the scar on my cheek.."
Sophie: "But the scar…. really isn't that bad.."
Fiona: "Hey where's Sternlicht?"
Chloe: "She's watching a concert."
(Meanwhile)
Musician: "Woooww... yo….. Motherfuckers…. how are you today.. let's dance baby fuck yeah.!"
Sternlicht: "Hehehe….. cool.."
Suspenders: "..(Sweats)... why am I here?…. weren't we supposed to buy clothes?"
Sternlicht: "Mhm…. mhm..(Hums)... yeah... later…. hmmm…"
Suspenders: "Hahhh….. well….."
(meanwhile)
Sophie: "Seems like everyone's just relaxing for once…. huh?"
Chloe: "Yeah..."
Violet: "Hmm but is that really okay?…"
Sophie: "We don't have anything to do anyway... Master?... uhmm.. Master."
Meliodas: "(Snores)….. hahhh….."
Sophie: "He's out cold!"
Fiona: "Poor Master... Chloe... what's that thing you're holding?"
Chloe: "This here... this is called umm... fun videos…"
Sophie: "Hmm. suspicious, let me see."
Fiona: "Hmm."
She took it..
Sophie: "Ughhh... Fiona look at this."
Fiona: "Hmm.. ughh... these are.. adult things….. don't tell me you're addicted to stuff like this."
Chloe: "Huh?…. I got those…. I'm serious…"
Sophie: "From who?"
Chloe: "Some guy….. no idea…... he gave them to me yesterday when I was out, but I forgot them in my bag…... he said... they help people… release their feelings... or something."
Sophie: "(Sweats)….. oh…. oh no.. Fiona... I think I know who she means"
Fiona: "Yeah sounds like Remy.."
Sophie: "Yep….."
Chloe: "Who's Remy."
Sophie: "Why would he give her something like this?"
Fiona: "Hahh... that guy really is the worst…."
Sophie: "Hmmmm…. says his partner."
Fiona: "Former... partner…. now he's with the House of the Cursed Children…. good thing too, now I have a reason to punch him."
Sophie: "Call me when you do, we'll both do it."
Fiona: "Deal.."
Sophie: "Deal.."
Chloe: "Hmm... wow…. those two really understand each other."
Meliodas: "(Yawns)... yeah….. those two have known each other since school….. (Snores)
Chloe: "Make up your mind whether you want to sleep or not... and why in the world do you answer questions in your sleep…"
Sophie: "Because he always sleeps with one ear open…"
Chloe: "Oh... why?"
Fiona: "It's a habit…. back then Ms. Valentine used to show up and scream at him whenever he slept while she was still an assistant….. because of that he got scared and learned to sleep while still being able to hear things…. just in case."
Meliodas: "(Snores)…"
Chloe: "What …. a strange guy…."
Sophie: "Hahh….. listen…. Violet, Fiona ... honestly I'm bored.. eventually there has to be something we can do... aren't there any murder cases we can solve."
Fiona: "Hahh... right now the Dark Umbrella is busy with other things…... no idea, really."
Sophie: "Hahh…. forget it…. I'll just watch some movies... you guys coming?"
Violet: "Me?.. sure."
Fiona: "I'll come too... but please no romance stuff.."
Sophie: "Nah... not in the mood for that crap either... I want something creepy.. hehehe... something that'll make us look under the bed at night."
Violet: "(Sweats)... she can really be disturbing sometimes."
Fiona: "Yeah... that's just how she is."
Lina: "(Yawns)
Sophie: "Oh.. Lina, perfect timing. Want to watch a movie with us?"
Lina: "Oh.. am I allowed to?"
Sophie: "Of course."
Fiona: "Yeah.. come on….. let's spend time together ... Siegfried... want to come too?"
Siegfried: "Gladly…"
Chloe: "And me?"
Sophie: "Nothing for kids, sweetheart.. hehehe... this here... is a horror movie that made people in cinemas….. throw up... it's called….. Human Moth!….. hehehe…"
Lina: "Oh."
Fiona: "Hahh... moths…. again…. whatever, as long as the movie's good."
Lina: "Hmm.. I wonder if it's really that scary."
Fiona: "Hah.. I bet people are exaggerating or those rumors were spread just to make people watch it.."
(A few hours later)
Chloe: "(Hums).."
(Patch)
Chloe: "Oh.. finished... whoaa!!"
Sophie: "Ughhh.h.... hhuhh."
Fiona: "Huh... ah... holy shit…. that was creepy."
Lina: "Mmmmm…... does… something like that… really exist... mmmm.."
They all looked shocked…. except Siegfried and Fiona who only looked….. slightly shocked…. Lina probably got hit the hardest.
Lina: "Hehehe…. I'll never... ever again.. sleep in the dark... mmm….. he just entered him like a parasite and replaced him... mmmmm.."
