Chapter 75
A deal
Out of the many things Julie Enoshima could find herself doing at this moment, talking to her supposed mistress about her childhood. But here she stood, clothed in a victorian-styled maid outfit while a pair of ladies dressed in ballroom gowns sat opposite of her. Of course, one was out of personal choice, the other to hide the fact that the first woman had gotten pregnant in the face of her own mother.
"Why do you even care?" she snarled and got a laugh in return.
"I'm just curious, that's all." her mistress remarked and cracked a smile. It was the sort people made when they believed when they wanted something more. "I'm more than certain you know more about me than I know about you."
Julie mumbled something quite vulgar under her breath.
"Fine then." she remarked. "Where do you want me to begin?"
"Preferably at the beginning."
The former order leader let out a sigh and began her story. But the moment her mouth opened up, all that came out was silence.
"Well, isn't that a shame?" the women remarked as their bodies began to shift in shape, taking on the shape of a familiar jester.
"You bitch!"
"Oh my, would momma kitty approve of that language?" Jestery countered and skipped on over to Julie. "And I was going to be nice for once."
Her opponent froze up, seeming to have been caught off guard by the jester's response.
"Really now?" Julie accused and went for a knife. "Get back, demon."
But Jestery pulled the knife out of her hands and flung it into the wall. Once she was certain that the weapon was embedded nicely in the wall, her attention returned to her opponent.
"You could at least hear me out."
But Julie shook her head and flashed the bird. If anything, that just seemed to do in the way of Jestery's mood or possible anger.
"Fine then. I'll just leave." Jestery snarled and made her towards the door frame. "And to think, i was going to make things better…"
"How?!"
Jestery let out a chuckle and made her way back over to Julie.
"I can give you a better future, one built with our powers combined." the jester continued and cracked a smile. "You just have to do some things for me."
Julie's gaze fell to the floor for a brief second as the possibilities rang through her head. Every part of her was telling her to just blow the jester off and just walk away. But something about this moment pushed her in the other direction.
"Deal." Julie whispered and watched a smile form on Jestery's face. "Now what?"
"Julie's first task is right now."
The world seemed to melt around the former order leader, with molding and shifting in place. Everything seemed to grow bigger, or perhaps she was growing smaller. It could just be both.
"Wonderful." Julie thought and made a glance down, only to pull her head back in disbelief. Which I guess makes it the latter. Maybe. "Be quiet."
Fine then.
Instead of finding her normal plastic-riddled body, she found the body of a girl in her early teens. A pair of banana-shaped twintails held together by paired pink bear hairpins brush against her back while a pink top covered over a blue and white striped tank top. For the lower half, a pink short skirt covered in white polka dots sort of complemented a pair of pink high heel cowboy boots things.
"Huh." Julie thought and took a deep breath. "This is different, I guess."
"There you are, Airu!"
She turned around, finding a blackish brown opossum floating in front of her. Though, it's balloons were all colored orange and blue for some reason.
"Oh. It's you."
For some reason, that made the opossum perk up.
"It's me~" Jestery announced and floated a tiny bit closer. "Your first task is quite simple. Even a bimbo such as you can complete it."
Julie mumbled something under her breath, quite ready to strangle her partner.
"What do I need to do then?"
Jestery let out a low chuckle and moved away from her 'partner'. After, she let her balloons pop and fall gracefully to the ground.
"Just give her a little squeeze and I'll do the rest."
"Fine." Julie whispered and finally took her surroundings in. At the moment, they were in an alley. There wasn't really that interesting about said alley, not even a single graffiti tag.
"Do you have an owner?" a voice seemed to call out and her gaze shifted, focusing in on Jestery and what appeared to be a young girl. She runs over, making sure to not to catch the girl's attention.
But, her target crumples to the ground.
"I'll make this quick." Julie remarked without a second thought, letting her hands rest around the girl's throat. But the girl refused to take this fate lying down. No, she fought back against her would-be attacker and ran off. But not before throwing Jestery at her.
"Good job." Jestery remarked as the world began to swirl around them once more. Quite quickly, it gave way to the room in the villa. "You've completed your first task."
"Oh." Julie remarked and looked away from the jester. "What exactly did that accomplish?"
But Jestery was got.
"You might have weird memory flashbacks of doing things you don't remember firsthand." the jester announced, telepathically. "That's normal. Along with new memories of one's childhood."
Her announcement seemed to catch the order leader off guard as tiredness seemed ready to take her in.
"A little nap couldn't hurt." she thought and sat herself down, letting sleep take her in.
Note:
I could elaborate, but that will be for a later time. Things will come clear soon enough...
