❧ ☆ Ⱥɴɴαʟɪєʂє «Ⱥɴɴα» Νєʋєʀʜαʀҭ ★ ❧>>Marionette<< ❝If the world that I dreamed of exists somewhere Then shall we go search for it…?❞☆═━┈┈━═☆ 〖Annaliese placed the wine back in the cupboard and then took out a tin can filled with Japanese tea leaves. "Of course, I told you before that this cabinet will give you virtually anything so long as it is within reason, didn't I?" This was the first time in a very long time that she doubted whether her memory served her correctly. She had a fantastic memory, but it seemed that it was foggy the past couple of days. She began to prepare the tea and when it was ready, she served it in the best China that the cupboard had to offer. Walking over, she poured him a glass of it before setting the teapot on the table. "I'll eat a little, just so you don't feel strange. I know that the Master had always complained about me not eating simply because I didn't require it."
She served herself a small bowl of each before sitting down in the chair across from him. She also poured herself a glass of tea and took a sip. She found it quite to her liking. At least I can taste it. She thought to herself before she took a bite of the curry, enjoying it's taste as well. Upon swallowing, she asked, "What are you curious about? Since you have proven yourself a wonderful servant, I shall answer any question that you ask with complete honesty."〗☆═━┈┈━═☆ ❝...Your eyes know of lonliness Because they’re dazzling And reflect that color .❞

❧ ☆ Ⱥɴɴαʟɪєʂє «Ⱥɴɴα» Νєʋєʀʜαʀҭ ★ ❧>>Marionette<< ❝If the world that I dreamed of exists somewhere Then shall we go search for it…?❞☆═━┈┈━═☆ 〖Annaliese took another sip of the Japanese tea, finding that it's exotic flavor attracted her more than the European tea. She watched and listened to him as he spoke of it being strange that the cupboard would have Japanese tea, but she didn't want to have to try and explain the existence magic that was placed in it. Even she wasn't very familiar with it and she had watched as her master created it.
Then he asked what it was like back in her time and she sat there for a moment, staring into his eyes blankly for several minutes, suddenly being swallowed whole by her memories. In her eyes could be seen the scenes that were played; all of the grand parties that she had attended, all of the times that she had been proposed to, how many times her parents had begged of her to choose one of them for the money instead of love, and there were hundreds of other Victorian era type scenes.
There was one when she was young and had been in the village at the church with her parents and one of the village children walked up to her and tried to give her a flower, saying that it would look lovely in her hair,she had been reaching to take it when her mother took her hand and abruptly pulled her away, scolding her for touching the 'village filth'. "You do not touch them! Do not encourage them! Simply smile, nod, and tell him that you are not interested. That's how you'll learn to deal with suitors that are particularly troublesome or aren't even as rich as our family. You must learn to marry for money, not love!"
The scene switched to that same very situation several years later and the gangly looking village boy was rather handsome and had a smile that made her heart leap into her throat whenever she saw it. She had just been exiting the church when he grabbed her hand and took her behind one of the trees, giving her a flower before dashing off. She then had taken the flower and hid it in the folds of her skirt before placing it in the finest vase that belonged to her. "The boy seems to get the picture that we cannot be together, but that puppeteer doesn't seem to get the same picture..."
Then she blinked and shook her head a little, "What was it that you asked?" She thought for a moment, "Oh, about my time. Well... it was rather elegant, I suppose, but the rules of the rich were very restraining."〗☆═━┈┈━═☆ ❝...Your eyes know of lonliness Because they’re dazzling And reflect that color .❞

❧ ☆ Ⱥɴɴαʟɪєʂє «Ⱥɴɴα» Νєʋєʀʜαʀҭ ★ ❧>>Marionette<< ❝If the world that I dreamed of exists somewhere Then shall we go search for it…?❞☆═━┈┈━═☆ 〖Annaliese smiled and laughed a little bit at him worrying about her, "Had you lived back in that day, you would have gotten used to it. You'd have girls practically flinging themselves onto you in hopes of catching your eye." She took a bite of the curry before sitting back every so slightly, not enough to make her look like she was slouching, but enough that made it look like she had lost her posture. "Back then, love was just... well, a fairy tale to all of us aristocratic females. Once you got married, all that matter what making sure that you pleased your husband, presented yourself well in society, and made sure that you had at least one boy. My father had been quite happy with having me, and my mother was not exactly the adoring type... so I was the only child that was produced in the Neverhart line. Many said that you would learn to adore your husband, after time, of course, but I had hoped of feeling a feeling that I had never felt before." She took a sip of the tea and said with a small laugh, "When it comes to love, we're both in the same kettle, if I may speak blatantly."
Then came the question about what happened to the flower that the boy had given her and, if she could nearly choke on the tea than she would have, but she set the cup down and became entirely emotionless. "He died three days after that, and I attended his funeral and finally learned his name. He had been Benjamin O'Dell and had been two years older than myself. I had brought the flower that he had given me and left it on his grave, thanking him for giving me a moment of true happiness." She glanced out the window and at the blood red sunset. "At that moment, I looked up at the sunset and I could have sworn that it felt like his smile. I knew that he was in a better place than he had been while living, so I am pleased that he is someplace where he won't be judged based on the amount of property his parents owned and how much money they possessed." She then looked back at him and tilted her head to the side, her eyes gleaming with curiosity, "What of your era? The present day time?"〗☆═━┈┈━═☆ ❝...Your eyes know of lonliness Because they’re dazzling And reflect that color .❞

"I will protect all that is important to me."
Nobuyuki Sadao "The Winder, The Servant, The Man, The Monster."
"I swear that on my own life."
Nobuyuki listened to her and nodded "A heartbreaking story and yet, I can't help but say that its a good thing." he said "Don't get me wrong, death is sad but it seems like he actually died happy and I don't think he's totally left you." he said and then laughed "I'm sorry, my father is a firm believer in spirits and he as has instilled in me that spirits never truly leave especially when there is someone that they really have feelings for." he said. He had to admit their love predicament was a little sad but at least he wasn't alone in it anymore. Everyone one of his friends had a girlfriend and amazingly enough were already engaged and were waiting for graduation before they actually got married. He was a little jealous of these people but it was just a basic need for love that everyone else has. One day when he finds a girl to love he's gonna make sure he can really hold onto her.
He smiled and looked up "My era?" he smiled "Well I don't know much about this place." he said "But this is the year 20XX, so everything has changed from yours." he said "Kids are disrespectful, technology is more helpful but dangerous, people don't really communicate face to face anymore, the education standard is a lot higher." he said. He thought about it "The world has its ups and down but they get more extreme." he said and looked at her "But like I said I don't know much about this place being from Japan." he said "However here, people believe in love before they marry but our values....are messed up." he said "Marriages rarely remain in tact and most end in death or divorce, men cheat, women cheat, men lie, women lie but we always seem to one up each other on that....women are still winning." he said.
Nobuyuki smiled "Sometimes I wish I was born in Feudal Japan, or even China..history is much better than the present." he said "But I like it here too." he said.

❧ ☆ Ⱥɴɴαʟɪєʂє «Ⱥɴɴα» Νєʋєʀʜαʀҭ ★ ❧>>Marionette<< ❝If the world that I dreamed of exists somewhere Then shall we go search for it…?❞☆═━┈┈━═☆ 〖Annaliese nodded when he said that it was a sad, but yet, happy story. She couldn't help but wonder if the boy's spirit still lingered, but she didn't want him to see her now. She didn't want anyone that she had known before the day she became a Marionette to know what had happened or what she had become. "I don't believe that there were feelings stronger than a little admiration or attraction. Love isn't at first sight, though many would disagree with that statement."
Then when he began to speak of his ear, she listened very intently, for she was now thrust it this time without knowing anything about their technology or how their culture had developed. From the sounds of it, it had become less about wealth and more about advancing technology. "I'm sure that you would like your day and age better, especially with those magic little boxes that you use to speak with someone far away. Back in my day, you had to write a letter and then send it, hoping that it got to them within the next couple of months or weeks. And that horseless carriage that your parents came in earlier... it was astounding and I hope that I stay awake long enough to experience this world."〗☆═━┈┈━═☆ ❝...Your eyes know of lonliness Because they’re dazzling And reflect that color .❞

"I will protect all that is important to me."
Nobuyuki Sadao "The Winder, The Servant, The Man, The Monster."
"I swear that on my own life."
Nobuyuki nodded "They are called phones, and we still right letters but its only for fun and when we don't want to deal with someone else stupid voice." he said and smiled "And those are called cars." he said "They have horsepower but not horses, those are used for sport and other activities that don't involve going out on the road, people aren't very good at driving so I think carriages would be better." he said and looked at her "You'll get to experience it one day, when we can make you a real girl." but he merely shook it off "Eh, this time is great but at times you only wish for a change and you wish you could go back in history to do something else, see what things were like when it was all simple." he said "Things can get over whelming." he said as he quickly finished up his food he put his hands together "That was utterly delicious! Thank you for the good!" he said and have her a slight nod. He looked around "However I have a small concern, what about the other marionettes?" he asked "Besides from you, Tami, and Myst..who are the others?" he asked/
((My mind has gone dark))

❧ ☆ Ⱥɴɴαʟɪєʂє «Ⱥɴɴα» Νєʋєʀʜαʀҭ ★ ❧>>Marionette<< ❝If the world that I dreamed of exists somewhere Then shall we go search for it…?❞☆═━┈┈━═☆ 〖Annaliese listened to his words and nodded, finding every single thing intriguing about this world. It seemed as if more happened now than back in her days, but then again, he had just said that he'd like to see the simpler days. "I wish that I could take you back to my time, but that would be asking for trouble." She said with a small sigh before sitting back and listened to his compliments about the food. She smiled a little and said, "And I thank you for eating it with me. I believe enjoying food with others gives the food more of a flavor than that of any seasoning or spice."
Then he asked about the other Marionettes and said, "As you already know, there are seven of us and I am the seventh. I am technically the youngest of seven daughters, if that makes this any easier to understand. Each of us have our own form of magic that we can control, a gift from our Master and the Apprentice." She placed her hands in her lap and continued, "Myst is the eldest and least complete of all of us; made with an artificial soul and has the power of Mirrors. Hana is the second eldest; she was made with the spirit of a dog, which means her powers lie with Animals. Yana, her 'twin', is the third eldest and looks just like her; her powers also lie within Animals. Eona is the fourth Marionette and has the soul of a tree, giving her the magic of Plants. The fifth is Giggy and has the soul of an unborn child, giving her the magic of Time." Nodding to Tami, whom was standing in the doorway, listening in on their conversation, "Tami is the sixth of the Marionettes and has half the soul of a woman, but her magic lies in that of the Mind. And I am the seventh, the strongest of the Marionettes and the most loved by the Master. My powers lie in that of Strings. As you have seen, I can control other dolls without spirits and make things move without actually being near them."〗☆═━┈┈━═☆ ❝...Your eyes know of lonliness Because they’re dazzling And reflect that color .❞
