'Flutterbies'

[Eyes Only]

Eris ran through central park laughing.
"WEEEEEEE!!!!!!" she giggled and leaped into the air butterflies appearing in her wake. no one was around. no one usually came this far off the path. she appeared to be having the time of her life. "flutterbies flutterbies loverly flutterbies!" she sang twirling about. shed just eaten a lot of candy recently and was on a high sugar buzz... she ran at a tree up it and off it doing a perfect flip and landing on her feet.
"thank you thank you very muchly!" she giggled bowing to an invisible audience. she tilted her head wondering wear that clapping noise was coming from... then she heard music. her eyes lit up. "ooooh pretty!" she tried to follow it. but of course it was all in her head... in the end she found herself at a small pond with ducks and birds. she sat down and stared watching them. she liked birdies. she forgot about the ever elusive source of the music.

Jason sat on a bench near a small duck pond and casually watched the ducks and birds go about their business. He sighed, wishing he was back in Hawaii and riding the waves , but sadly, his stupid curiosity got the better of him and he wounded up here, looking at experimental trials to cure his tumor. He continued to gaze around, and spotted another carefree gazer across the pond. He smiled to himself and at the peacefulness he found being in this secluded area. Well, he supposed, New York had to have some good qualities.

"duckies!" Eris giggled she stood up and spun around "Weee...." she dashed around the pond spotting jason. "hello mister! you like the duckies tooooo?" she stared at him. "do you like the flutterbies? i like the flutterbies!" she held out her cupped hands and opened them up revealing a single brightly colored butterfly gently waving its wings. she looked at him.

So much for peacefulness, Jason thought as the girl suddenly caused an outburst and spun around. Is she all right? He wondered as she called out to him. "Uh, hello, there." He felt awkward and nervous around this girl. What are flutterbies? He tried his best not to show a confused look. His eyes widened when she produced a butterfly from nothing. Is she...like me? He watched as the butterfly fluttered about. "I guess they're okay..." He replied slowly, unsure how stable this girl was.

[Eyes Only]

She grinned as the butterfly fluttered off. "My names Eris Ophelia Rex." she was about to offer a hand to shake but realised her bandages where starting to unravel again... she wrapped them back up again. not much went through her head at the moment....she wondered why he was alone was he lonely? being lonely wasnt fun.

[Max452]

"Hi, Eris. I'm Jason." Jason tried to smile at the girl, but let's face it, she was unnerving. Jason eyed the bandages that fell from her arm. "Um, are you okay?" He asked, referring to the bandages. He wondered if she was wounded.

[Eyes Only]

"im broken."she said quietly she shifted looking uncomfortable. the bandages were wrapped all over her body. she was convinced she was broken. she rubbed her neck. she didnt want to talk about it. "its nice here no small spaces and theres preety flowers and flutterbies and birdies and trees and places with not alot of people but sometimes its lonely. do you get lonely?"

[Max452]

Jason studied Eris as she talked about her bandages. "It is nice here." He wondered if she had escaped from a hospital, due to the way she talked and the bandages she wore. "Sometimes." He admitted. "I'm kinda broken too..." He told her. "Why are you broken?" He asked her, pointing at her bandages. "Did someone hurt you?" He asked, hoping that he was prying.

[Eyes Only]

"nooo no one hurt me not like that." she sat down and scratched her head she cupped her hands around something only she could see and opened them and a bright blue butterfly fluttered out. she watched it.

[Max452]

"Oh, then...did you fall down?" He asked, wanting to know what was going on in the girl's head and how she got this way. (OOC: can he see the butterfly?)

[Eyes Only]

(ooc: yes! see shes hallucinateing seeing butterflies and shes makeing them real.)
"No." there wasnt anything wrong under the bandages.... she knew she was wrong in the head she was broken so shed wrapped herself up in bandages. she also didnt seem to want to tell him this fact usually when she told people they called the men from the mental hospitals and they'd stick her in small rooms... she hated small rooms.

[Max452]

Jason stared at the butterfly that seemed to appear from no where. Now he was certain that she was like him....but the question was, how stable was she? He sighed at the girl's lack of response. "Oh, well, then why do you think you're broken?" He asked, glad that he was somewhat a patient man.

[Eyes Only]

"...." she seemed uncomfortable all of a sudden. "I don't want to talk bout that any more..."

[Max452]

By the way she reacted, Jason knew that something was up. He nodded, understanding. "Okay. Sorry. I was only curious; I'm broken too." He tapped his forehead. "Right in here. Sometimes he hurts, but sometimes it doesn't." He explained simplistically, he didn't want to scare her away if she was in trouble. "But I think I'm getting better."

[Eyes Only]

she thought for a minut. "i hope you get better." she looked at him. he thought she was crazy didnt he...? "i dont think ill get better..." the butterfly landed on a nearby flower. she swung her legs.

[Max452]

"Thanks, me too." He said as he watched the butterfly. "Really? I don't believe that. I think we'll all get better some day. We just have to be patient." He told her and then, finally, not able to contain his curiosity, he pointed at the butterfly. "Did you make that butterfly appear? Are you special too?" He asked.

[Eyes Only]

"your special?" she said suddenly excited "I usually say its its slight of hand or or magician tricks but i can do stuff!" she demonstrated and made 3 butterflys appear without cupping her hands. "what can you do?"

[Max452]

"Yes, I am, but you have to keep it a secret, okay? I don't want anyone else to know." He told her quietly, glancing to make sure no one was nearby. He watched three more butterflies appear. "That's cool." He then held out his hand. "I usually don't do this, but I want to show you." His hand phased and it seemed like it had disappeared. Jason hovered his hand over the park bench and then placed it through it, his fingers wiggling on the other side. He retreated his hand and brought it back to normal. He heaved a sigh. "I can't do it as much as I like anymore, because I'm still broken." Jason explained.

[Eyes Only]

"oh cool! mines like...i think... little reality manipulating. not just making bugs appear. sometimes weird stuff happens though. but i don't think thats me." she seemed confused for a sec "ill keep your secret if you keep mine!" she nodded vehemently

[Max452]

"Deal." Jason said as he pondered on what she meant when she said that she didn't think that was her doing. "So, is that why you think you're broken? Because you have powers?" He asked, wondering what she thought of her powers; a gift or a curse?
