The Searching

[Rei]

"Bisae? Bisae! Where are you?" A young Promise femme was winding through the graves, calling aloud for someone. "Bisae!"

She was always running off like this! Sometimes Biyae almost wished that it was her, not her twin, who had the supernatural visions. It would be nice to have Bisae chase her, for a change, instead of the other way around.

Biyae sighed. She loved her sister, loved her very much. She had told her, when they were young, that no matter what happened, they would always be together. She had promised. And where were they now? That was one promise she just couldn't keep...she wanted to protect Bisae, but as they grew older, they also grew steadily apart. And now she had these visions of hers, running off and chasing after a strange, pale, bloodspecked femme named Sae. Biyae had only seen her once or twice, and both times she had been openly hostile, threatening and laughing hysterically.

Bisae...why did you keep running away? They had promised that they would always be together...but that was Bisae's promise, too. Why didn't she keep it...

"Bisae!" Called Biyae, continuing her feverish search. It always started like this, and then...

Spiralling high above, the bishop pricks smartly her ears in a radar-like fashion to the calls from below. At her distance she most certainly couldn't pick the cardinal out with pallid eyes, but her hearing was another matter entirely. Wings that were opposite in hue fold tightly to her ash-toned body, the baptism diving through the air to flare her wings at the last moment and pull up short. Backwinging a time or two she'd take up a perch upon the nearest headstone, calling out in what seemed thankfully to be honest concern. "Can I be of any help?"

[Rei]

Biyae sighed. "I doubt it...but...you could try." She let a small social smile slip through her mask of concern. "It's my sister. She's ran off again, and..." She hopped over an open grave, landing gracefully on the other side. "I can't find her. I never can, when she does this...normally she comes to me, but...it's been such a long time, she's been gone for hours."

[ferabird]

Bobbing once her head, the chiroptae flicks pointedly one large dip-shaped ear. "As you can see my dear, I've a trait or two that might help in your search." Mis-colored wings give a rustle as well. "Tell me about your sister... what she looks like and what she might answer to. I can take to the air and help broaden your search. And be warned, this churchyard is crawling with our..." She pauses for several moments "...fallen kin."

(pardon my crummy posts... I'm out of it tonight.)

[Rei]

][ ^^ *pets* They're not crummy. Besides, I'm out of it, too. xD ][

Biyae paused in her searching, regarding the chiroptae for a while. Finally, she spoke. "Her name is Bisae. She might be answering to just Sae at the moment, but it doesn't really matter. She won't pay any attention to you." And she probably wouldn't. When her sister ran off like this, she wouldn't stop until she found whatever she was looking for, or completed whatever she was supposed to do. Any attempt to stop her ended in spectral opposition and, possibly, a fight for your life -- Biyae certainly knew that. She didn't know why this 'Sae' person was bothering her sister...but she did know one thing. They had promised that they would always be together, and they would. Biyae wasn't about to let Bisae get lured into whatever ritual or trap that was planned for her this time. No matter what...they had promised.

[ferabird]

Sagely the baptism nods, mis-matched talons clutching tightly to the degrading stone as legs tense and coil before launching her into the air. Strongly and rapidly she was forced to beat her wings to gain height, sails of respective black and white serving as something of an illusion against the night's sky. She stood out... always stood out. Well, until she'd gained such height in the cold night air that the darkness swallowed her.

"Have faith...."

What a haughty remark to make in so dire a situation! But then again, such was the mindset of an amuni. Up and up she went, massive ears of patched white and black swivelling about to catch the night sounds. So many haunted the graveyard... and it could be a long while before she found the one she was after. In gradually widening circles she glides, spiralling gradually further and further out in an attempt to detect the lost promise....

[Rei]

Biyae sighed and sat down. It was senseless to continue her search; if Bisae was still possessed and wanted to be found, she would come to Biyae, and not the other way around. Never the other way around; although that never stopped Biyae from trying. And if Sae had released her, and she was back to normal...well, wings were certainly an advantage, here; the chiroptae had a much better chance than her to find her sister.

[ferabird]

She had a goodly chance indeed! However, there was many a shriek or cry to investigate. Several times she thought herself in luck, descending from above only to narrowly escape the clasp of curved euclide claws or gnashing teeth. More carefully she continued her searching, occassionally calling after the lost promise.

"Bisae...?"

It was a large churchyard, and finally she came to rest atop a creepily twisted dead tree. It was the screech of one of her own breed followed by a gasped scream that finally drew her eyes, at which point she leapt into the air, arrowing back to the one she'd left behind. Not taking the time to land, the chiroptae swoops down, rapidly backwinging to keep in the air.

"Come!" she pants, no explanation offered as she rapidly flapped mis-matched wings to climb into the air again.

(If you want to post her following here, I'll make Poh'sib's next post in the 'Lost' thread. ^_^)

[Rei]

][ Hmm...I'll post that Biyae follows her, but don't post in The Lost quite yet. I want to play this out a bit...hopefully get Sae to chase Kaedaj a bit, then bring in Biyae. Since, you know. Stopping the fun before the action begins -- what's the fun in that? xD At least Sae doesn't have Malice or the Kusabi to help her...btw, did you read their pages? There's a backstory there that would explain a lot (which is the same on both pages) and a few paragraphs about each twin, and how the story relates to Biyae and Bisae (who are actually based off of Mio and Mayo, from the Fatal Frame game. Don't know if you've ever played...it's fairly popular, a survival-horror for PS2 and (recently) Xbox.

Btw...I'm rather in love with your chiroptae. Would she be interested in Araejius, by any chance? *matchmaker xD* ][

Biyae gasped as she spotted the chiroptae. If the Baptism was back...that meant that Bisae had wanted to be found. And the only reason that that would happen was...

"Oh, no." Biyae whispered under her breath. Sae...

"I'm coming!" She called to the departing femme. "Wait up! Please!"

][ Yeah, let's keep these two in this thread for a bit...plot developement is always good. ^-^ ][
