Honor. Pleasure. Attachment. Those were all of the feelings she had learned to feel. They held no names to her, but she knew they were there. They effected her in ways she would not understand, not now at least. She was lost to this world, and far from her own humanity, if any neko could have it. She was the guardian of Majinoki, and she had failed her people, but Chisu Lau carried her burden. Perhaps in that life, maybe Nameless would have been born as a man. Just maybe. And maybe it would be all the difference. But she was a servant to her master, whoever it was. To this day and life, it was a singular woman and a singular scar. She would honor her daughter's choice and she would serve Phantom Lord as needed, after all, that was all she would come to know as her family. After all it was where the last Ranzu resided, for now at least.
"Squeee!"
"SHUT UP ZUZU I TOLD YOU WE'LL EAT AFTER I'M DONE!" She scolded her animal. She had begun to tug on her master's leg for the last hour or so. She hated these moments. Nameless had taken what felt like the entire day working on her painting. Zuzu know how much these moments meant. But she was hungry, and needed food NOW.
She threw her leg, tossing the animal on her back. "I'M ALMOST DONE YA LIL SHIT." She again yelled at the creature from the safety of the rooftop. Nameless had seen the morning sky and insisted on drawing it. She had taken her tools of choice to replicate this wonderful day. She smiled and marveled at her drawing.
"Fuck I forgot to draw the clouds. Oh well." she spoke, taking her drawing and folding it. She put it in her back pocket along with her crayons. It may not have been the best materials for a painting, but she didn't know any better, and nor did she care. The restaurant she went to had given her a whole assortment for free.
She sighed, and picked up her animal. She was planning to slide off a dumpster lid or something but something told her otherwise. The event of going to the Rune Knight station began to replay in her mind. Why was she targeted when she did nothing wrong? Was she being framed, or was it racism?
"Squee?" Zuzu asked again for food. Nameless sighed, tossing the animal off of the roof to land in a bush, only for her master to jump down to a tree branch then the ground.
Zuzu would give a look of major disapproval, only to jump to her master's side and walk just a step or so behind her master, starting at her feet as she would walk. Wherever it was going, there had to be food.
"No. I think . . . " something felt wrong, really wrong. "We need to see the monks today." she had to see them, maybe they could explain her feelings. Zuzu would give off another squeal, only to have Nameless tap her head lightly with her food. "And you need a bath, and maybe he'll have those cookies you like."
She would begin to walk to the entrance of the festival, making her way out to find the grand marble shrine. She should have destroyed it while she could, but maybe it had its use.
She would make her way past all of the people, or at least what would soon become a crowd. She had to meet with the monks, after all, they were dedicated to her own being, and they should at least have some answers as to why she was the way she was. No matter how many times she rose confused they-
"Yo, what the hell did I eat?" she stopped, looking at the entrance to the festival. It was early in the day so most of the people gathered inside at the booths setting up. There wasn't many to see what she was, nor deny it was happening. "Okay Zuzu you win, we definitely need to eat. I'm seeing shit." She turned around, thinking about going back into the festival. Zuzu instead would take her small white fluffy butt and continue to walk, even after Nameless decided otherwise.
"Ohh, you right. The shops are closed. We should at least get the cookies." she'd agree, but only after kneeling on the ground to grab hold of her vulpix's tail. "Zuzu, do you see the floating girl too." She would tell her animal, rather than ask it as a question. "I'm not getting arrested again. Let's watch."
