some bodies may be temples but all are ruins at your feet Sophia believed that her past had made her stronger, toughened her up in places where little girls weren't supposed to be sharp and prickly. Unfortunately, being mired in such a lonely history also meant that she would have to accept the brittle parts too.
She arrives at what must have been one of the dustiest apartments on the block. The welcome mat was completely faded, and the lock was broken from the outside. Expecting the worst, Sophia pushes her way inside. She stills herself at what she sees. Then slowly she makes her way inside, uncharacteristically leaving the door ajar.
The Velos residence had not been much to look at, even when people had been living in it. Mr. Velos had been clean, but he had no housekeeping talents otherwise. None of the furniture had matched, almost everything was exclusively utilitarian. Sophia wishes that all of those things were still here. Thieves had picked the bones clean. Even the rusted fan that had made the apartment survivable during the summer months had been torn clean out of the ceiling.
She steps over the broken panels of glass and the scattered planks of wood. A place like this didn't usually stand for long, not when the land is worth more than the buildings that it holds. She goes to the smallest bedroom. As expected, the bed is gone. The bookshelf is bare, except for a faded copy of Piplup Tales and The Great Detective Kirlia. She skims the pages. These stories mean something different to her now. She drops them onto the floor. She turns around and sees a pink thing in a tangle of cobwebs. Could it be?
Sophia pulls a Clefairy doll from the corner of the room. It's Luna, a find that she wasn't expecting. Not after all this time.
A part of the past that was worth saving.
Suddenly, she hears footsteps. Her stomach turns when she realizes that she had forgotten to close the door. She reaches for her gun.

[googlefont=open sans][googlefont=oswald][nospaces] [attr="class","matcha"] [attr="class","matcha1"] [attr="class","matcha2"] [attr="class","matcha4"]Ah, there was nothing like naming a city after something very ironic. Like the terrible pollution obviously made from the CINDER of smoke made in the place. It filled Jax with some amount of glee, fulfillment, and really bad breathing time.[break][break] He walked quietly along the side of the road with his pink fuzzy llama mask, hands stuffed deeply into the blue jeans worn on his legs. The ever so watchful Sweets hover behind him on their leasurly walk through the really smogged up town.[break][break] There really wasn't any reason why he was in this town, besides obvious super secret agent stuff. that he couldn't tell a soul about He also really wanted to visit an old friend he hadn't seen in years![break][break] He hoped the guy was still alive.[break][break] Taking a turn here, and then a turn there. Maybe another turn, up the stairs, down the stairs, do a vertical uplift, run into an old lady, help the old lady, get hit by the old lady, limp away into the alley, take a left, a right, up, and down. Eventually he came to the apartment complex that his old buddy used to stay at. Uh, he thinks anyway.[break][break] Entering into the apartment complex, he glances around with curious eyes. A large smile lopped onto his face, eyebrows raised in excited expectation. Arriving at the door that he is like 97% sure is his old pal, he laughs a little at the open door. How did his old buddy know he'd be coming around!? How thoughtful![break][break] He strolls through the door, hands still stuffed in his jean pockets before removing one to prop next to himself in a greeting manner.[break][break] "Yo! Crazy Joe! You———," he abruptly stopped in his speech to stare wide eyed at the REALLY hot looking lady. Then it clicked in his head, why would this really hot girl be doing in Joe's apartment? OH, NO. WHAT IF SHE'S AN ASSASSIN WHO KILLED JOE OR IS OUT FOR JOE?  [break][break] His hands shot up to cover his body, a leg also pulling up to defend his poor little body. " I don't have any money! Pleasedon'tkillme."[break][break] SOPHIA VELOS[attr="class","matcha5"]

some bodies may be temples but all are ruins at your feet Sophia raises an inquisitive brow, but her gun doesn't waver, not in the presence of that Aegislash. Loyalty counted for something with ghosts. She knew from personal experience. He walked in too casually to be a thief. "You live here?"
The possibility makes her sick to her stomach. Of course the world has moved on without her or her dead father. This was an apartment, not a grave. Though it didn't change how Sophia felt about her house one bit. Even so, he has more rights than her to be here. Society's laws dictated it. Nevertheless there's a beast roaring in her brain, All things belong to those who can defend them. No witnesses. Shoot him, and there will be no more difficulty. Her eyes flicker to the fine layer of dust upon the ground. Unlikely. It doesn't look as if anyone's lived here in years. Sophia grits her teeth. "Get out."
