Leaning back, Mattias gives her another smile. "Yeah of course I'm sure. I really have more than enough room."
At her question he balks, and then laughs heartily, holding onto his knees. "Oh yeah, she's my little princess. Light of my life, stars in my sky, eater of my fish."
He giggles a...
Mattias puts up his hands reassuringly, waving them slightly. "Hey, it's alright. It's really no trouble. It would be a lot more trouble for me to know you're out there on your own. You can't exactly support yourself while you're in a wheelchair, and being on wellfare and foodstamps and living...
Mattias returns the grin, clapping his hands together. "A pleasure to meet you, Alice."
His good spirits decline as he watches her realise that she doesn't have anything in the world. She really was all alone. She'd been beaten and hurt and left to die and now she has nothing.
God. I'm too...
"No need to apologise," Mattias gestures dismissively. "Any questions you have, I would be happy to answer."
He thinks for a moment, studying the cover of the book in her hands as well. Tapping the arm of the chair contemplatively, he smiles over at her. "I think Alice would be a wonderful...
Mattias nods enthusiastically, "yeah, there are a few renditions of the novel, a lot of them unknown to the general populous, but they're all really great. Many stories have been based off of Carroll's work, some more twisted than others."
He relaxes back, deciding not to bring much attention...
Mattias' face breaks out in a grin as she talks, it's a light, clear voice. Not the rasping pleas he had heard yesterday, and a very welcome change. He pulls the chair to her bedside as he had before and sits cross-legged in it, slightly cramped but comfortable.
"I'm really glad you're doing...
The sun sits low on the horizon as Mattias goes about his home, straightening out what he hadn't had a chance to the night before and making himself an early dinner. He gathers a few books of differing genres in a bag and scritches the cat behind the ears before heading over to the hospital...
Mattias smiles down at her, patting her head lightly and covering her hand with his. "Yeah, I'll be back this evening. Maybe bring some books to read and some music. You're safe here, the doctors will take good care of you, so don't worry."
He smiles again, then yawns hugely, covering his...
An uncharacteristic anger rises in Mattias as he sees the full extent of the damage done to her. But he forces it down, pulling a chair up to the side of the bed and sliding into it.
"Hey there, sorry about sending you off like that. But it looks like the doctors have taken good care of you. I...
There was nothing. They didn't have a sample of her blood on file, no records, no previous visits to the dentist or checkups. Absolutely nothing. Well, that was disconcerting. Though he still wanted to check on her, see if there was anything else he could do. If she was in stable condition, then...
Running his fingers through his hair, Mattias sighs uneasily.
"Quite honestly, Doctor, I have no idea who this girl is," he answers exhaustedly. "I was walking home from work last night around ten when I saw her in an alley. I don't know what happened to her, and when I asked she didn't know...
The chair provides little comfort, and Mattias was only able to doze off for about an hour, near four. After that he had kept himself busy reading and playing games on his phone. When the doctor approaches him, he stands expectantly.
"Yes, my name is Mattias Thorne," he says evenly, holding...
Mattias collapses into a chair in the waiting room. He had heard her scream as they took her away, and had wanted to go comfort her, but knew he couldn't. He would stay here until he could see her again, make sure she was alright.
God.
He didn't know what else to do. This strange girl he'd...
Mattias winces, knowing this must be extremely painful for the small girl.
"Yes, I am Mattias," he murmurs. "And we'll find out who you are as well."
He walks as quickly as he can without jostling her, and arrives at his house in a few minutes. It's old, the paint cracking and the brick a...
Oh dear.
That was quite loud, and Mattias panicked for a moment thinking he had killed her, though he knew that was more than irrational. He'd had experience with dangerous situations before, and knew that none of her wounds were actually life-threatening as they were now. If she didn't...
Mattias lets out a shaky breath, pulling back a little so as to not hurt her further. He pushes back his hood and shines the light over her body to get a better look at it. She was covered in blood, and he probably would have felt nauseous if that sort of thing bothered him. He still felt a pang...
A spark shot out from his lighter, but no flame. He tried the flint again, with no such luck. Mattias sighs, shrugging to himself as he replaces the slightly damp cigarette in its carton and the lighter in his pocket. He could smoke once he got home, there was no need to do it now. Smoothing his...
((Ah yes, I had seen people including pictures with their descriptions. Unfortunately I could not find a picture that suited what I had in mind whatsoever, so I decided a more detailed description was the best way to go to paint the right picture.
So, for starting, if it isn't too much to ask...
Hello, I am quite new to this site so I must confess I don't know much of the ins and outs of starting a roleplay or joining one. I hope that simply introducing myself and supplying a character for evaluation will suffice. If not, I sincerely apologise. This looks like a very interesting story...
My name is Serinkaela here, though it is not my real name I would prefer to be referred to as such. I have recently decided to get back in to Roleplaying recently and thought this site looked quite fun. I'm no hardcore RPer by any stretch, but I am willing to try out any sort of new area and...
