I own Nothing beside OC and Story.
It was over.
Her life was undoubtably going to come to an end. He entire existence was now on the clock while she awaited the Ultra Dimension CPU to return first thing tomorrow morning, and to find her little sister caught with a cold.
Blanc sat in a chair in front of a fireplace, staring at the fire while seemingly broken with a blank face. Unmoving, it didn't even look like she was breathing.
Rom peaked through the doors to see Blanc in the room, but quietly closed it. She ran down the vast halls of the Lowee Basilicom. She found her way back into her bedroom. There, she was bore witness to Nyx in her bed, while Ram was beside her.
""Hey, are you really okay?" Ram asked, as Nyx nodded.
"Yeeeeaaaahhh...I'm okaaay..." Nyx answered slowly and quietly. Rom walked over and sat on the floor, awaiting something to possibly happen.
"We're sorry you got sick..." Rom said apologetically, but Nyx shook her head.
"Noooo, it's alright...It was fuuuun..." Nyx said happily. "I wanna do it agaaaain..."
"We'll build snowmen next time, and snow forts!" Ram sprang up. "...But sis doesn't like us playing outside at night." Ram then said. Nyx tilted her head in confusion, but didn't ask why.
"How...about we play video games...?" Rom said, as Nyx looked at her with a confused expression, of course, with plate eyes.
"Video...Games...?" She asked. Ram went over and picked up the Lowee controller and gave it to Nyx. "Yeah! Lowee's games are so much cooler than everyone else's!" Ram said as she forced the controller onto Nyx. Nyx slowly took hold of it with a soft grip, as she held it. Ram went over, alsmost in a flash, and turned the game on.
"Yeah! Let's see how amazing you truly are!"
Nyx lost.
Every.
Single.
Time.
She was horrible at Video Games! Rom and Ram saw how she dominated them at snowball fights, using air support almost every attack, but...True Goddess she wasn't good at Video Games? This was the biggest shock Rom and Ram reviewed from the girl, the second being that she's incredible adorable to the point of it being dangerous.
She had lost 37 times already. But, strangely enough, she didn't seem upset about it. She just seemed confused by what had happened when she had lost, and just kept trying. She wasn't even playing Multiplayer and she barely got past the first enemy on the easiest, most classic game known to Lowee!
And any Lowee fan knows what that is by the sound of it.
Ram just stared as Rom did as well. Nyx seemed to be getting...unamused by it, loosing interest in it. In fact, she had lost interest some time ago, but was scared that Ram was going to be angry. So she had kept playing, at least until Ram wouldn't be angry at her.
Finally, after what seemed to be a lifetime to Nyx, she had handed the controller over to Ram.
"That was fuuuun..." Nyx hummed in satisfaction. She did, however, gain some sort of satisfaction in playing the game, regardless of dying every single time. Ram slowly took the controller...
"Wow, she's really bad at games..."
"Poor Nyx..."
Both Rom and Ram felt pity for the poor girl, who supposedly should have been a God at games, as Ram began playing. She suddenly felt the urge of determination fill her, as she smiled cockingly.
"Now see for yourself, Nyx, how Awesome I am!" Ram said, as ,she began playing. After a few seconds, she was already halfway done with the lever, as Nyx stared with sparkly and awestruck eyes, amazed that she had got so far so quickly.
"Whoooooooooaa...! You're soooooooooooooooooooooooo Gooood..." Nyx said, as Ram smirked in pride.
"Heheh! This game is what I'm good at most!" Ram said with a tone of pride. Nyx kept observing with same expression while she continued playing. But, eventually, Ram lost against a boss. Continuing to play, Nyx drew in picture books provided by Rom, Ram oblivious of what they were doing behind her.
...
Blanc wasn't doing any better. She continued staring blanklessly at the fire, unaware that her book had fallen out of her lap. All she could think about was what was to happen to her by the ultimate wrath of Plutia when she arrived tomorrow. The very thought of it made Blanc fear for her life, scared lifeless as she could only pale deeper and deeper.
Then, the sound of a door opening rang throughout her ears. Her heart sank, thinking it could have been Iris Heart already back. Her hands began trembling, suspecting that the goddess in question was on to her, and came to deliver her promise to the white goddess. She slowly turned, almost creaking her head to look back.
But, to her shock-
"Lady Blanc?" It was none other than the Oracle of Lowee; Mina Hashizawa.
Blanc felt such great relief lifted from her very soul when she bore witness to Mina's sight, such joy that it was her now proclaimed bane of her existence. Mina placed a hand onto Blanc's shoulder in worry.
"Lady Blanc, are you alright? Are you sick?" Mina asked, concerned. Blanc shook her head.
"N-No, I'm fine Mina..." Blanc said quietly.
"You sound weak..." Mina said in worry. She knelt down and placed a hand over Blanc's forehead. "Are you ill?"
"No...I'm okay...its just...something different..." Blanc said, as Mina seemed confused. What could worry her goddess this much. It certainly worried her a great amount. Now curious and determined to find out what on earth could be troubling her, she began asking more questions.
"What is it, Lady Blanc? Has something happened?" Mina asked again. Blanc didn't answer at first, but, slowly, she began moving her mouth.
"Plutia's...Little..."
"Lady Plutia?"
"Sister...came to play with...Rom and Ram...and..." As Blanc continued, a thought of surprise invaded Mina's mind.
"Lady Plutia has a Little Sister now? That is quite unexpected..." Mina thought as she grew interested in this matter.
"And...she...caught...a cold..." When Blanc said that, Mina instantly grew worried, figuring out why Blanc was so odd. She was terrified of the thought of Plutia coming back and finding her Little Sister in such a state. Ultimately, Mina's first duty was to ensure her Goddesses' well being and protection. Well, this is part of the job she has. So, as the Oracle of Lowee, it now fell upon her to make sure everything turn out alright.
And so, her first mission; Cure the Common Cold.
"Lady Blanc? Where is Lady Plutia's Little Sister?" Mina asked, as Blanc looked at her, dead in the eyes.
"She's...with Rom and Ram..." Blanc answered. Mina looked back at the door, and then looked at her CPU.
"Please be at ease, Lady Blanc. I shall do what I can to take care of this." Mina said, standing up. Blanc looked upon her like a orphan begging for food. That made Mina's heart skip a beat.
"You...will?" Blanc asked, almost like Rom would say. Mina smiled as she nodded.
"Yes, please leave it to me, Lady Blanc."
Mina now walked towards the Twins' room, intent on meeting the little sister of Plutia. She held a small over bed tray taht had a bowl of soup on it. Ultimately, this had happened with the Lowee twins once as well, and Mina, being the proper caretaker she is, made them the exact same Lowee Soup. That were up and about, healthy and happy, by morning, even before the Oracle awoke.
This will undoubtably work for Plutia's sibling as well.
When she had reached the door to the twins bedroom, she used one hand to slowly creak the door open, and saw light within. Good, at least they were awake. She didn't want to disturb them if they were sleeping. She knocked on the door three times.
"Lady Rom? Lady Ram? May I enter?" Mina asked, as she heard the twins making a ruckus inside.
"Mina?!" Ram yelled as she swung open the door. "You're back! I thought you went on vacation or whatever?!"
"I returned not to long ago. But we may talk about that later, but first, I had heard that Lady Plutia's little sister had recently caught a cold?" Mina asked, a Ram looked back, and then looked back at Mina and nodded.
"Yep! Nyx caught a cold by playing in snow a lot today!" Ram said as she opened the door wide. There, she saw Nyx in the bed coloring books with Rom. Mina's first impression was that the resemblance was, indeed, similar to Plutia's. Her hair, her eyes, her face, her very presence was the same. Said CPU Candidate had noticed her, and looked at her in curiosity, stopping what she was doing entirely.
"Hmmmmmmm...?" Nyx hummed in confusion. "Who is shhhhhhee...?" She asked, as Rom noticed Mina present. She got up and ran in front of Mina.
"Mina...you're back...?" Rom asked as Mina smiled at her.
"Yes, I've returned. But more importantly, I've heard that Lady Plutia's little sister has come down with a cold, so I came to check up on her." Mina explained, as she then looked at Nyx. "So this is...Lady Nyx then?"
Nyx stared at Mina with curious eyes. Mina walked over set the tray over Nyx.
"Lady Nyx, please eat this." Mina said, handing the tray to Nyx. Nyx looked at the soup presented to her, confused as to why the Oracle of Lowee brought it to her.
"Eeeeeeeeh...?"
"I have hear that you may caught a cold. I have brought you a Lowee soup that should cure it by morning. Please enjoy it to the fullest." Mina explained with a soft smile.
"Hey, you made that soup that one time too!" Ram said, recalling the last time the twins had gotten sick.
"Yes, this is the same soup." Mina answered. "It is hot, so please eat it carefully. I will be back in a little bit, please enjoy." Mina smiled, as she had then left the room and closed the door. Nyx stared down at the soup as she slowly took the spoon.
She scoped some of the soup into the spoon and took a sip. Ram and Rom looked back at her, like expecting some sort of reaction. Nyx's reaction then met their expectations. She had of face of pure, unadulterated delight, like her taste buds had just met with the CPU of Deliciousness. Her cheeks lit up a soft red, as she eyes went starry.
Rom and Ram instantly knew what they had meant, and once again, the Oracle of Lowee did not fail.
"Good, huh?!" Ram asked, as Nyx nodded, sipping more of the soup.
"Mina...is amazing..." Rom said.
"C'mon, let's keep playing!"
The room was now dark, the window was open, so that the full moon's light shined through. Nyx softly snoozed in the bed which belonged to Ram, undisturbed, looking extremely peaceful...however, she then awoke. She slowly opened her eyes, staring up at the ceiling above. She blinked once slowly, and slowly sat up. She rubbed her eye, and then turned her attention to the bed next to her. There, Rom and Ram slept peacefully.
Nyx softly smiled at the sight, and then looked out the window, looking up at the full moon...
"Soooo pretty..." Nyx thought as she stared up at the moon. After a seemingly long moment, she slowly got off of the bed, taking a large pillow with her and hugged it with both hands. As quietly as possible, she left the room and walked down the big halls.
Shortly, she arrived at the restroom...
...
After a minute, she exited. She once again walked down the halls with her pillow in hands. Walking down the big halls, she had her eyes closed, sinking her head into the top of the pillow. One could believe she was sleep walking, but she was still conscious, if only a little. When she finally arrived back at the bed room, she was about to open up the door...however, something stopped her. She slightly opened her eyes in curiosity, and peaked through the door she had left open.
There, she saw some type of figure carrying and pulling out Rom and Ram. It was like a snake, wrapping around them and carrying them out the wide open window. Nyx seemed confused and slightly afraid. She slowly opened the door, made her way to the bed, and peaked out the window.
Down below, a large dinosaur creature with a large tongue. It somehow managed to laugh, despite having its giant long tongue out of its mouth.
"Hahahaha! My sweet cutie pies! Oh how I've missed you!" The creature said in glee and happiness. The twins only reacted by trying to break free.
"Oh, My cutie pies! We'll have all the time in the world! Let's go someplace more secure first!" The creature said, before hopping away, leaving giant marks in the snow.
Nyx watched the entire scene take place before her very eyes. She was confused as to what she should do. Call her sister? Find Blanc? Mina? What should she do?!
Well...she did the only thing she could actually think of. She tightened her grip on her pillow (Which wasn't much) and made her way downstairs. There, she slowly opened the entrance inside and slowly closed it. She held her pillow as she stood outside.
"I'll...go help..."
