On the grounds

[princesspowerful]

Molly is younger than a lot of the other students (but not young enough to be left out of things, just so you know) and is a bit more excited than the others. While going to school isn't as thrilling as being somewhere completely new and awesome, she's enjoying herself none the less. Besides, she figures it's only a matter of time before she gets rescued by her friends and go back to fighting crime.

For now, this game seems kind of cool and she gets to play it! She was chosen over her friends and the older students so HA! Take that! She figures she'll go defeat some bad guys, because some bad guys need to be here, right?

Not one to understand the severity of being taken somewhere to play some kind of game, Molly is generally enjoying herself and running around the grounds trying to find anything cool.



Sorry if she runs into you.

Fletcher was looking around the school grounds after his little spell of emo earlier. He figured it would be good to get acquainted with the campus; perhaps looking around would help him figure out a way out of this mess. He could always transmute a boat out of some trees...

As per usual for him, he found himself distracted in the library. As he wandered down the aisles, he ran smack-dab into a girl a little older than himself. "Ack! S-sorry!"

[princesspowerful]

Molly was knocked back a bit but that didn't seem to phase her at all, she just grinned widely, "Hi! I'm Molly I like your hat!" She had her own fun hat on, a frog today.

"What are you doing in here? It's booooring."

[greennotgold]

He blinked, surprised to see the hat she was wearing. Wow. "Um-- I like yours too! Thanks!"

But then... He frowned. "Libraries aren't boring... I like to read."

[princesspowerful]

If possible, she smiles wider, "I collect hats," and she seems oddly proud of this little fact. And she is.

"Reading is boring!" she sticks her tongue out, "You need to go outside and have adventures!"

She grabs his hand and pulls him towards the door, "C'mon! We need to have an adventure right now so the books don't take you!"

[greennotgold]

"Huh? But--!" He stumbles toward the door with her, seeming genuinely hurt. Books have always been his friends. "But I don't like the kinds of adventures they have here!"

[princesspowerful]

Not letting go she pulls him out the door, "We haven't been here that long! What kind of adventures have you gone on!"

[greennotgold]

"Well--I haven't, but I mean from what that movie was showing..." His face fell.

[princesspowerful]

She tried to remember back to what he was talking about-- oh! "You don't hafta fight I don't think. I mean, if you don't wanna then don't let the adults make you cuz it's dumb."

Molly smiled and takes out her glove, "But I getta play this round! It could be fun"

[greennotgold]

He really didn't want to, but the only alternative was asking people to buy Memory Charms for him like Sora had offered, and he really hated that idea. "I-I guess..."

He looked down at the glove. He had one also, but had left it in his room; not being a Player meant he didn't really have any use for it. "Um, that sounds... good," he lied.

[princesspowerful]

"I'll protect you from all the bad guys, 'kay?" She gives him a smile that shows she still has all her innocence and optimism intact, even after the things she has seen and done.

[greennotgold]

Fletcher blinks, not sure what to say to that. Protect him? Is she an alchemist or a fighter or something? Either way, he nods slowly. "Um-- th-thank you!"

She seems excited to be a Player, even if he thinks it's a bad thing, so he asks, "Are you going to try to win this, um, Exaclan game?"

[princesspowerful]

"Duuuh that's the point of games." Really, what kind of kid doesn't know that? She has a lot of work ahead of her to get him up to her kid-standard. "You don't wanna lose!"

[greennotgold]

Fletcher's not very good at games. Hurray for growing up too fast? "O-oh, right. Do you have any Weapons yet...?"

[princesspowerful]

Well Molly will help Fletcher de-age and then they can have fun together and be the most awesomest of friends!

...Shoot, she knew she was missing something, "Not yet!"

[greennotgold]

"Ah. Um, good luck!" He nods hesitantly.

[princesspowerful]

"I'm gonna have the best partner and we'll fight bad guys together and have awesome code names and costumes to hide our identity!"

[greennotgold]

"Code names and costumes? Why?" Fletcher repeats, tilting his head curiously. He doesn't seem to notice the mark that has faded in on the back of his left hand.

[princesspowerful]

Even if Molly had remembered how to make the vow, she wouldn't realize that she just made one with Fletcher.

"Because that's how superheroes do it! Duuh" she extends her hand like she sees older people do when they just meet, "I'm Molly Hayes but you can call me-- uh" she stopped to think.

"OH NO I FORGOT MY CODE NAME!!!"

[greennotgold]

Fletcher extends his hand in return, but pauses at her outburst.

"You--you forgot it?" Did she have one before? He doesn't really know what to think when it comes to her. "Um--um, are any of your friends here? They might remember!"

[princesspowerful]

"I couldn't find them before and they wouldn't leave me behind," she was clearly upset about all of this, "How could I forget!!?"

[greennotgold]

He can tell how upset she is. "H-hey! Um, a lot of people've forgotten things, didn't you watch the movie they showed us? They--they took away our memories to try to make us fight. That... that's probably why!"

[princesspowerful]

"But I wanna play with my memories," she whined.

[greennotgold]

"I--I don't think it works that way." He looked down guiltily. "Sorry."

[princesspowerful]

"Well it should work that way," Molly shuffled around for a few moments pouting about how unfair life was when she was hit with a new resolve, "I JUST GOTTA WIN AND REMEMBER THINGS THEN!"

[greennotgold]

"R-right." He raises his fists to his chest in solidarity. "Good luck, Molly!"
