Skye Prower

"It could have been worse. It could have been Mother or Father's head. And according to Skye, when Mom was in Dad's head, she was able to take over from time to time. I dunno if that's funny or creepy."

"Thankfully for most of it it was like I was asleep. Otherwise," Melody shuddered, "It'll have been way to weird. The brief times I was awake were bad enough. Though I suppose I do know some things now I could blackmail him with."

"My bet's on Skye. Having spent time in his head, I know how crazy he can be."

"We should get her and Skye to work together. I'm sure they'd get on like a house on fire... Or, accidentally set the house on fire. One of the two." (ooc: there's an order to who chooses plots?)

"I wouldn't care who the attention was from, as long as its for me being me and not mistaken for someone else. Hmm, Hope had a hologram before, maybe she could make you one to give you a different appearance if you wanted. Actually, I should suggest that idea to Skye."

"Yeah, I do tend to go for it too much. Just habit, never knowing if the loud noise that startles you is actually a group of assassins trying to hunt you down. I wonder if our prime counterpart fight... will fight.... as often as Skye and I do." Melody caught Rouge's bitterness. "Sounds like I'm not the only person with problems outside." (ooc: Aww. Nice foreshadowing the Dylan!)

"Everybody is saying the same thing. I need control. I.... I...." Melody thought back to what had happened on the beach. The two fights she'd started with Skye. "I... suppose they may have a point. And the knife, Skye enchanted it for me, so I guess it reminds me more of him than the rest of my past. But no one else thinks its a good thing to use in a fight." Melody paused and considered Rouge's points about going outside. "I already have a different hairstyle to Mo... Mina in this Zone. I guess 'll need to do something more drastic and dye it or something. As for my voice," Melody sighed, "Well, Skye was able to change it earlier, but he can't keep his illusions up forever,. Especially when he needs to keep his tail hidden as well." (ooc: Ooh! This sounds interesting Dylan!"

"Thank you. But no matter how much I try to put my old life behind me, I can't help but feel it keeps coming back." ----------------------------------------------------------------- “NoNoNO! Really, it didn’t sound good. I don’t know stuff. Skye is the geek, not ME!” Once outside, Melody was silent for a while as she walk, then began talking. “I’m sorry to bother you with this Rouge, but I’m finding this new life rather confusing. On one hand I want to leave everything behind, every little thing about me. Maybe even a new name. But on the other…” Melody pulled out her knife and examined it, “…there’s things that I never want to let go off.” As they headed down the beach they passed one or two others. As they passed occasional theey caught whispers of ‘Is that Mina?” or similar. “And that kinda thing just makes it worse. Skye and I can’t go out without either being constantly mistake for the parent’s we’re trying to forget, or going in disguise. How are we meant to live a life like that?”

"I'm trying to learn Dad. I just... wish this was easier for me. I just feel so torn apart sometimes. -------------------------------------- "How can there be sharks on a floating Island when they are an ocean based creature? They lack the volume of water necessary for the species, and would quickly decimate the local pray population faster than it could... erm, hehehe. Just ignore me, I don't know what I'm saying. I don't understand any science stuff." Melody looked extremely embarrassed at what she just said. "And thank's Rouge. Lets go to the beach before it gets too cold."

"Wha? Sharks? But... Nevermind, I really need a bit of open space right now. If you want to come I... I think I might like that. Not sure how good company I'd be."

"I wasn't lying... Just... some stuff that Skye said... I wanted some time to think."

"I, erm, uh, just wanted a breath of fresh air. So I thought I'd take a walk along the beach, now it's less crowded."

"I... think I understand that. As long as all of you are there to help me." With everyone's attention on Skye, Melody slipped out.

Skye clung tightly to Red, but wasn't crying. "It's not the past. It's who I am. I don't what to be that person. I'm trying not to be but... but.... It's just so hard to be... nice."

Melody took matters into her own hands. "Skye's is now having an identity crisis. His nature is clashing with what he wants." "Mel-o-dy!" Skye seemed more embarrassed than upset at Melody's revelation.

I'm tempted to lay a bet that this is only really there to act as a WTF Question.

(ooc: sorry for stealing your thunder Locke) Skye sniffled slightly. "It's nothing important Dad. Just a long few days and a sad part of the film we were watching." Skye flattened his ears against his head, hoping that would hiding the twitching. "Skye..." Melody began. Skye gave his sister a look, trying to convey 'I don't want Mom and Dad to know' with his eyes.

Don't worry if you have spoiled it. It was a guess, not you revealing a fact. And think of the bragging rights if you're correct!

(ooc: Well, with all this heavy talk time to add some of my own!) "Okay Skye. Seriously. What's with the 'Uncle' and 'Auntie' thing. Even with you're whole 'change of heart' thing that's nothing like you. I'd never expected you to trust anyone like them." "I don't." Skye stated. Melody whipped her head round to stare at her brother, who was watching the Tv screen without actually seeing what was occurring. "What? But you..." "Melody, every part of my nature is scream at me not to trust them. To stab them in the back at the first opportunity. Not just Shadow and Rouge, all of them. But I don't WANT to do that. That's why I'm pushing so hard with this 'friendly adorable kid' thing. If I act hard enough, maybe it'll actually happen." Melody gave her brother a comforting simile and placed her arm around him. Skye resisted for a second, then leaned against her, sobbing very slightly. "Now whose the one who wants to leave everything abut who they were behind?"

(ooc: Cheers guys!)

Skye and Melody glanced at each other. "Looks like boring grown-up talk. Let's grab some food and leave them to it. Did you see the size of the TV inside?" Both kids quickly striped the table of half it's contents, and wandered back inside. (ooc: writing myself out for a bit. Turns out the next field is ready to go!)

"Thanks Uncle Shadow. Thanks Auntie Rouge," Skye called after them. "You call them Uncle and Auntie?" Melody asked in slight disbelief. (ooc: Okay. Goodnight Shadow)

"Can you play another please?" "And Rouge could sing along!" Both children had pleading looks in their eyes.

Both kids burst into applause. "Hey, that was great, especially if you haven't played in a while."

(ooc: Gah... I blame work, not thinking straight!)
