Juliet Tsang

Arc Four

 * hunder is rumbling like a    promise. Ducat, Mireille, "Aria," Flynn, and Ilphas are going to     look for Juliet Tsang. The few there are worried that Juliet may be in an     upset state but some are hoping it will be alright.
 * Ducat and Ilphas hear a     strange sound over the rolling thunder. Ilphas turns around and sees a      short figure, 3 feet tall, baby child height. The pitter patter of tiny      shoes was a racing child. Ducat and Ilphas go toward them, but the child      does not slow down and runs towards them full-tilt. Ducat fills a chill      pass through their body as they lean down to try and catch them, because      the child passed through them.
 * Little girl, short curly     blonde hair, medium brown skin splotched with blue, blue eyes, baby      Juliet,
 * She looks back, panting,     glancing in the direction of the group but does not look at them. She drops a little      suitcase. She is looking behind her questioningly - at a tall humanoid      woman in a burgundy gown, with a parasol. Calls herself Victoria. She      places a hand on her bouncing shoulder. She knocks on the door. Juliet      bangs loudly on it. A moon elvish woman opens it - Ix'chel.
 * Juliet hugs her mom's leg,     but isn't afraid of Ix'chel and whispers loudly "Mama can I do it      now?" Victoria sighs and says yes. Juliet removes her hand from      behind her back, holding a fistful of flowers, and gives them to Ix'chel.      She says "thank you, little one," and lets them inside.
 * We rush inside before the     door shuts. The figures are no longer visible.
 * A slightly older Juliet is    VERY SKILLFULLY playing a piano. The music is even over the wind.
 * Dining Room: Ducat and    Mireille follow a sound into the dining room and see a similarly-aged     Juliet running around yelling that her mom is coming home. Ix'chel tells     her to save her energy for the visit. Ix'chel has to ambush her with soup     to get her to eat.
 * Kitchen: Ix'chel is steeping    tea. She looks concerned. She says nothing.
 * Study: Ix'chel is reading a letter addressed to her from Victoria. She says she is not coming to visit Juliet "this weekend" because something came up.
 * Ballroom: sounds, not a    shrieking monkey. There are balloons and streamers. Juliet is wiping tears     underneath one that says WELCOME HOME, MAMA. It's her birthday. Ix'chel is     holding her hand and patting it, telling her next year will be better.     Ix'chel goes to get her tea.
 * Juliet's eyes lock onto     Ilphas' as he watches. "My mama doesn't come to visit me. She      doesn't even write. She probably doesn't love me anymore."
 * He tries to convince her     that it isn't true, talking about his own mother and trying to tell her      she may be trying to visit and probably thinks about her. Juliet says if      something is true, there is proof.
 * Ilphas finds a postcard from     Victoria from inside his bag (previous thieving) and hands it to her      after promising to keep looking for the letter if it got lost.
 * Juliet is standing with her    arms crossed infront of the chapel door upstairs. Juliet is angry that she     was in there for a long time because she got bored because she can't leave     her house or even go into some parts of it.
 * The world has to get ready     for her and Juliet has to be ready for the world, after she grows some.
 * Ix'chel is at Juliet's door    in frustration, has to kick it down. Her hair is buffeting wildly. She     can't find Juliet, then has a look of horror looking out the window at the     storm. Juliet is on the roof holding onto a rope, saying she is leaving     because she is being stifled. Ix'chel won't tell her the truth about why     she's a freak and can't leave.
 * A flash of silver from     Ix'chel's sleeve - a letter opener. She cuts through the rope hanging out      the window, after threatening to do something stupid
 * Ix'chel, Ilphas, and maybe     Mireille see something and the rest hear a heavy thud and Ix'chel's      scream as she launches out the window and morphs into dragon form. The      storm is dying down as she lands. She tries to shield her from the rain,      sees its futile, turns back into an elf and snatches something out of the      air. She screams and screams and wishes that she had never told Juliet      the truth, that she had never known, and never knew better, that it was      normal and okay.
 * We are pelted by rain and     bullets even as the dream/memory's is going out. The window slams shut.
 * Ilphas opens the window     again, and sees a wicker chair sitting on the patio. There's a beam of      sunlight striking the patio despite the storm, warming where the chair is      set up. It looks like Juliet bundled up in the chair, holding a cup.
 * Ducat tosses Mireille the     broom and she flies out the window on it. Ilphas hops on and they both      see that this is a younger Juliet.
