Avice would arrive in Nagasaki just in time. She was ready to be back in a place that can only be closely related to home as she had ever gotten. It was a long time getting here and she hadn't aged a day. It would be an even longer life ahead. It was obviously to the point that in this time, nothing is permanent and in her mind maybe she wasn't the kind of person to ever call one place home. She'd have planted here still to say she'd stay was another stretch. Unlike Rumor with David and there cabin it was like a place she knew she could always come to. Still as far as making a home for herself it was a difficult image to grasp.
Still she'd get off the train and see the city lights illuminate the night and the streets. Hardly any grass grew in between the concrete and it was all a pretty solid city. However she noticed they were rather crowded tonight. Not to mention everyone was dressed just as vibrantly as the city lights. Avice brushed up against Silk and embroidery. There were lines hanging from building to pole to stand in decorations. Avice scratched her matted curls and snapped. Her lips would press together and her brows would furrow her eyes closed remembering the Star Festival. Damn it was that season already, she completely forgot.
It was some years ago she'd have to come here with Rumor and Inuko, along with a few others it was easy to have a group when Rumor set something up. She even had Avice in a Kimono that year. Probably the hardest bit of clothing Avice had ever worn in her life but for Rumor she'd wear a mermaid-clown suit just to make her laugh. Even though Avice was younger than Rumor in terms of Vampire years it seemed she would have a similar attitude towards her as she would when new children came to the Abbey. Almost as if she was the big sister. She never assumed that role nor wished to really see it but She felt she would continue what Inuko did before... everything...
Inuko, probably the only person she had ever shed tears for. Avice would cry but even as friends were adopted years ago she'd long before accepted that chance. So loosing Inuko was probably the hardest thing she had ever had to let go of. She tried to hold on to her too, kept rambling on about anything she could think of just to keep hearing her voice. She meant every word but it never came together until that moment Inuko was slipping through her hands. Otherwise Avice would have probably never admitted seeing Inuko be the closest thing to a Mother or that she admired her like one. It was just about hearing her voice.
We were Vampires for Pete's sake out of all the things to Die why was it so easy for her to do? Actually it never made it easier... Avice had to remember that it was just as easy to die no matter what. With the memories boiling in her mind she started to cry once again in many years. Before her eyes over flowed she covered them with her sleeve and escaped the crowd. barely able to see she'd pass a couple of stands and ducked between them. The stains on her black jacket were no big deal, she could hardly tell the difference anyway. Still because of that night she knew the color of blood. Blood that poured out of Inuko couldn't be stopped and she was beyond help. Avice had accepted this. She had never forgotten Inuko's voice, often enough she'd hear her saying things or scolding Avice, being difficult and hard on her when it was just Avice being hard on herself. It wasn't the same.
Really Avice was okay with Inuko's death. She felt she had moved on, still she did miss her. That might never go away. Avice would look to the other side of the food stands and see the trees decorated with ribbons and paper. Wishes as far as the eye could see and as many here as you might be able to count stars in the sky. Avice stood and walked over, here eyes were clear, and it seemed like the tree would just be a beacon for her at this moment. But she did not have a wish. You can't wish the dead back to life. Avice wouldn't be able to hear her voice or figure out what a rainbow looked like in her hair. It was impossible. Still... maybe she didn't want to wish for anything. Maybe... just as she was handed a ribbon by a beautiful kimono lady she'd write.
"I miss you..."
Avice would Tie it to a branch... It wasn't much. but it meant a lot to Avice. With out a home, with out a family she'd have no place to go or a place to come back to. She was not good at figuring out her emotions and maybe those words would not sent the complete message. It did not matter. Avice felt something in them that she felt could transcend the gates of death and she'd like to think Inuko would be able to hear them. Maybe that was the whole point to the festival. Wishing was just a message that can be sent to anyone who will listen.
