✪ Orbs! Seeking the link between faces! ✪ [Accidental Video]

[The screen lights up and takes a moment to focus due to the strange bright glow for this time of night. Cube's face is outlined by an arrangement of glowing orbs in front of his face. Some are brighter than others and there does seem to be one that shines more than any of the others. It may be hard to see but when he touches the orbs, a ghostly image appears next to it. Soon, all the orbs have images next to them. Images of people's faces.

People Flandre has met.

Unaware of the recording transmission, Cube's tired face searches over each one, putting aside a few he doesn't recognize or is suspicious of. The brightest one gets pushed to the other side, Cirno's face chasing alongside of it as it's moved.

Cube arranges and rearranges the orbs, sighing every once in a while as if trying to solve a puzzle. The communicator eventually times itself back out as if it were bored with the scene.]

((ooc: Only people Flandre has developed CR with will show up as an orb, not just one-time acquaintances. This goes for anyone who has made an impact on Flandre as well. The brighter the orb, the closer the relationship or bond is between Flandre and the other person. If you have questions, please contact me or Flandre-mun if you're not sure.))

[Flandre heard a soft, quiet thumping noise, but she hadn't paid it much attention.

Though she squeaks when poked. The bat is rather squishy (and little) and her head pops put from under her wings, ears still mostly flat against her head.

She also has beady red eyes! Which blink up at the rabbit.]

[The rabbit darts away at the first sign of movement.

Blink. Blink. The red eyes exchange glances.

Slowly, the male rabbit ventures back, towards the bat for another sniff. If Flandre holds still long enough the rabbit will sniff her and then bump it's head against her.]

[Well, she does tilt her head at this strange new furry thing. That was not there last.

...it didn't seem quite like a rabbit.

Though Flandre just squeaks again when that nose bumps into her again. The snuffling tickled.]

[It is a demon rabbit but looks close enough to a normal rabbit that any usual being might suspect as much... but it does linger the faint smell of blood that a normal rabbit would not have.]

-Warm. Soft. Sniff like soft place. Soft place is good place.-

[Without another sniff or warning, the rabbit sits against Flandre-bat. His nose wiggles a small bit before he begins to settle. Flandre's scent was left on the bed at home, where they were first found by Cube. The face Flandre-bat smells like the bed is a good sign and somehow means she is safe, as far as this rabbit is concerned at this very moment.]

[It did smell a bit unrabbitlike, and--was it talking?

Then it sits down and cuddles up next to her, as if it had known her all along. It reminded her of how lonely she was...and probably would be. The bat shivers all over, as if cold, and presses her face up against the rabbit's shoulder with a small, sad little whimper.]

[Only squeaking a rabbit speak but his ear twitches as he is nudged. He adjusts himself and sniffs over Flandre again before nuzzling.

Suddenly, he stops and his ears direct away. He stares into the darkness. Another set of red eyes stare back. Soon a second bunny joins them and sniffs over the first rabbit, then over Flandre. They squeak to one another before the second rabbit rubs up against Flandre and sits with it's butt against the bat.]

[Flandre doesn't notice, not immediately; she just shivers again, especially at the nuzzle, ears plastered against her head. She only looks up when that stops and she hears a second animal's voice distinctly.

The bat makes a little squeak of protest, but doesn't move much. Just burrows her face against the first rabbit again.]

[The sound of footsteps enter the room just before the light on the desk flicks on.]

Reisen? Did you come in here?

[Cube makes his way around the desk, looking under it and behind the file cabinet before his blue eyes cross over the rabbits. He pouts at them as he comes closer, stopping when he notices the bat.]

Eh?! What're you two doing?

[He sighs, kneeling down and getting a closer look, worried more about the bat then the rabbits. Did they bite the bat? Why are they surrounding it?!]

[That voice. That...familiar voice.

...and Cube didn't recognize her at all.

The shivering worsens, and the bat cries out; whimpering, sobbing--just short of tears. This form couldn't cry.

But Flandre wanted to. That cold sadness seemed like it would never go away; with each loss it grew heavier and heavier and she felt like she could never be happy again. Cirno was gone, Seras was gone; Gash and Koishi and Bakura and Patchouli too. Cube didn't remember her.

Which made hearing his voice again all the more painful.]

[Cube slowly reaches his hand out while speaking a general animal voice, hoping the bat will understand him at least a small bit. Although he didn't know what type of bat it was, he had a strange feeling he had see it before. It was squeaking and upset and the sound of anything hurt like that was painful to see.]

-Where is the hurt?-

[The male bunny snaps at Cube's finger, protective. Cube pulls back and points at the other demon.]

-No.-

[Again, he reaches out for the bat.]

-Hello. Where is your pain?-

[...that voice was not so familiar; not the words, at least. The bat quiets down, trying to make sense of them--one of her ears perks up slightly.

A greeting, and...something else...?

She pulls away from the rabbit's side just a little, peering up at Cube timidly and sadly.]

[He seems to have gotten it's attention but what was it? Something seemed odd here. Cube tries again.]

-Do you hurt? Are you lost? I mean no hurt. I help.-

[Cube lays his hands flat along the ground in hopes to show me was not a threat.]

-Come. I help.-

[The bat seems to sniffle, and her ears go back down again.

It is a long time before the bat moves, but she does; slowly crawling towards the demon's hands.

...again. Again. Start...again.

Flandre kept telling herself that, really trying, but...it didn't make her feel any better.

The bat crawls up onto Cube's hand, shuddering all the while--and then curls up in his palm, a miserable little black blob.

Except for one thing; her wings, edged with red.]

[He watches her and is very patient, despite the lack of sleep burning at his eyes. As soon as he helped this bat he would look for Flandre again.

The edges of those wings. A strange ping of familiarness.]

Hmmm...

[Cube smiles, turning and taking flandre-bat over to the sofa, stroking her ever so gently]

Have we met before? Or perhaps it was someone of your family?

[he tries once more to get an answer out of the bat, not sure why it isn't responding.]

-Are you cold? Are you hungry?-

[That smile tore at her heart. The bat deflates, squeaking quietly and miserably under Cube's hand.

These words she understood, though. Her ears don't perk up at all this time, but she does bob her head in a tiny nod. Yes, she met you, knows you--and despite Cube's close proximity felt very, very alone.

...Flandre should be used to this by now; people leaving, forgetting she existed all the time.

But she wasn't.]

[Cube pauses just before sitting down.]

Wait. Do you understand me right now?

[The bat bobs her head again, after a moment. Yes, yes she does.

...maybe, maybe if she closed her eyes, it would be just like before. She could pretend...yes. The same, the same...]

How?!

[He shakes his head]

Ah, excuse me, are you hurt?

[...and her head flops right back down, defeated. The bat's eyes pinch shut, and she makes a sad little noise.

No, Flandre was pretending. Yes. Pretending...if only her ears stopped working, it would be easier.]

[Cube's ears drooped. He continued to pet the small bat. A strange annoying feeling tapped at him, at if he was supposed to know something. He could feel something about the bat but could not pin it just yet.]

Ah! Please... I--

[His thumb that was gently petting between Flandre's ears stops. Cube's tired eyes grow wide as a race of thoughts fill his head. He takes another look at the bat in his hands before stuttering some words.]

F-Flandre-chan...?

[One moment, there's a depressed lump of black in Cube's hand

...did she just hear her name?

The next, it is a somewhat more awake lump, ears perked up and eyes peeked open. She peeps softly, like a little bird; where did that come from? Cube didn't know who she was anymore, and it didn't sound like Gash or Koishi and they were gone anyway...]

[Cube swallows, not sure if he should repeat himself or not. he could just be making a fool of himself, after all.

Fool or not, He tries]

Flandre-chan?! Is that really you?

[...did...did Cube say her name?

...he did.

The bat's ears go all the way up, her eyes widen all the way--]

[--the bat scoots backwards off of his hand and glows.

Then where there was a bat, there is a child.

A very timid and sad--but faintly, faintly hopeful--child.]

[Cube's jaw just drops as Flandre's child form appears.

He reaches for her, eyes tearing up.]

Flandre...

[He reaches to hug her. Even if it's an illusion or whatever else messed up thing this world could give him, he goes to hug her.]

Flandre-chan!!
