| >a man adorned in a blue zipper hoodie with white outline walks onto the scene
"yikes what happened here?"
>he looks at the girl
"something the matter?"
| >Cain steps outside, curious as to what is going on.
| >Shes sobbing and mumbling to herself
"I- i diddn't mean to kill them i promise! T-they just wanted to see something cute so I obliged!"
| >>352170
>he lowers his hood revealing a strange looking headset and attempts to comfort her
"come now la pucelle i am certain you would be forgiven."
>he says with a kind smile and a serene voice
| >She lifts her head, revealing a Mask with a smiley face on it.
"R-really?"
>she suddenly spots Cain, and runs towards her
"Grandma!"
| >>352212
"yes, it will be fine"
>i that time an ambulance arrives and hauls off the bodies
"grandma eh?"
>he looks at cain
"so thats what you are...
Would you care to lift the mask la pucelle?"
| "Grandma?"
>Cain says in questioning shock, as she catches the girl in a hug.
| >She hugs you tightly
"Don't you remember me? It's me! you know, Marie's kid!"
>she moves up close to your face
"...You look a lot younger then i rememebr... Good glad to see that vacation paid off!"
| "Oh of course I do!"
>Cain thinks, or tries to think, mild confusion showing on her face.
"Say, how about we go inside, I'll treat you to some ice cream?"
| "huh.so i was Right...dont mind me then"
>he looks at maries kid for a second...almost as if he was scanning them, before walking away
" objective accomplished, casualties sent to ER. Gemini, i have new data for you."
>[IA has obtained {data of an impossibly cute being} ]
| >>352547
"Aw... You're the best Grandma!"
>she hugs her as they walk inside
"Is dad at work right now?"
| "Yeah, she's busy with a project right now, something time related. Maybe she has some time..."
>Cain gives her pats, as they enter the private area of the gallery, where Cain finds a mini-freezer, conveniently full icey treats for the hot days.
"What have you been up to? Wandering GC?"
| >>352668
>She sneaks a few icecream sandwiches under her mask and into her mouth, making happy smol sounds
"Yeah, there was this weird flash of light or something... oh! I just remembered! I met someone who looked a lot like Godmommy Dahk!"
>she sighs sadly
"I still feel guilty for her death... i wish there was something we could have done..."
| >Cain looks at her, shocked, as she eats an ice cream.
"Dahk is dead? I saw her yesterday!"
| "W-what Granny that was 6 years ago... You know, she raised me as a kid, and every day she would tell me how i just kept getting cuter! But then one of these days when i did my signature wake up headbutt on my birthday she froze up and stopped moving..."
>she pauses frowning
"c'mon, you were the one to tell me she died back then you know"!
| >She tells you the year... only about 17 years in the future
| >Cain, eases up, sighing, almost falling over from relief.
"Honey, you've been sent 17 years in the past. It's 20XX."
| "Oh... So that really was Dahk then..."
>She takes a few mkments to digest this
"Is she alright? i think she accide tally saw my face... i'm worried she might've died like..."
| >>353074
"Oh god, you're the one Dahk has been fawning over to see again!"
>Cain laughs, now fully grasping the situation.
| "R-really? then we have to go save her! the baby me needs a godmother!"
>she gets up hastily
| >A sudden appearance outside the gallery! A tall woman with glowing green eyes and long flowing jet black hair approaches the door, her suit impeccable as always
"Cain? Are you there?"
>OS asks while knocking on the door
| >Recognizing her mother, the girl runs up to OS, hugging her tightly
"MOOM!"
>she pokes her belly
"And is that little me in there?"
| "Woah there!"
>OS seems surprised, looking at Cain with a puzzling look
>>353100
"Oh, huh yeah?"
>She's confused
| >>353103
"Bored, really bored"
>OS says with a sigh, but a smile shows on her face
"I guess it'll be worth it though"
>She looks down at the girl giving her a hug
"... So this is the one huh"
| >She nods
"Mhm! I'm your kid!... from the future i guess... Uhm, it'd be a shame to spoil what you're going to choose as my name now so.... just call me kiddo ok! That's what Granny used to call me~"
| >>353115
"So you really are huh?"
>OS looks a bit shook, but shakes her head and starts petting her daughter with a warm smile, uncharacteristic of her
"Why the mask?"
>She asks
| "mmm After Dahk died, aparently i was too cute for people's safety, so you and dad made me wear it!"
| >>353127
"Can you please take it off... I want to see your face"
>OS hugs tightly
"Maybe you enherited too much from your father, he is the cutest after-all..."
| "Uhm... Okay... just.. really quickly alright?"
*She takes off the mask, you do see Marie's cuteness in her face... but it's something more... otherworldly even, eventually the cuteness gets overwhelming that slight pain can be felt... She quickly masks herself again, and quite frankly, you can't remember her face all too well, but only that it was... cute.
"I-it'd be too dangerous for anyone to see it for too long... atleast, that's what i've been told, anyway..."
| "U-uhm, mom are you alright? Your nose is bleeding..."
| >OS doesnt seem affected in the least although her face seems conflicted
>'I cant tell her that I only find traps cute now can I, Imagine the kind of person she would think I am'
"You're really cute, thanks for doing that for me"
>She smiles warmly again
| >>353176
"Hmm? Nosebleed?"
>Cain checks her nose, and finds it dry.
"I'm fine, the sunglasses..."
>She takes them off, as one of the lenses cracks.
"...are not."
| ((or just retcon it actually >3>)
| "How destructive, Marie's genes really are a miracle at work"
>OS nods to herself
| "See! it's really dangerous!... Though mom never really seemed be bothered by it"
>she hugs OS tightly
"i was worried present you might have been different!"
| >Kiddo hugs OS
"Soo if I was a trap like dad... would i be dangerous to you?"
| >>353189
"D-Dont joke about that"
>OS says before scratching her cheeks
"I mean, I love your dad, m-my darling so even then..."
| "So... What now? I mean, reuniting with my parents might be kinda nice but... Hm... Know any job openings?"
| "Yeah... I guess that will work... Man talk about the family buisness!"
| "It'll be super fun!"
>Cain pats her!
| >she smiles at the pat, or atleast you assume she does
"Oh! does dad do his merc work yet?"
| "What?"
>OS seems confused
"Huh... hold on sweetie, merc work? Marie?"
| "Yeah! Dad's this super cool merc that that beats up all his enemies through dance and shooting!"
>She pauses for afew seconds
"Atleast, i think that's what he does..."
