Muñeca (Chibimonkey /pandamonium)

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon was just sitting at the desk, lost in his own thoughts. He gently ran his hand over the dusty surface of the edge of the desk, thinking back on memories to himself. He jumped a bit at the others voice, taken out of his thoughts startled, as he looked back over at the other "I'm often in this room, if you are looking for me, or the garden" he informed the other for future reference. He smiled a bit at the others words, nodding his head softly "Yes..." he trailed off, looking back to the things on the desk. He didn't mind if the other decided to enter the room. So long as he didn't change anything about it. " I don't know how to use any of the things he left behind..." he spoke, running his hand over some old materials that Lyson would use to care for Avon, and keep him from wearing down. He didn't even know how to use those things, to keep him from getting scratched and to fix his health and everything. Lyson always cared for him, always did it for him. That's why now, though his beauty could still be seen, Avon looked more like a doll than a human, as, like a doll, he needed to be cared for. He was created to be given attention, to be loved and cared for.

[pandamonium]

Alexander saw the longing in Avon's eyes. The way he ran his fingers over the desk was ago enchanting. He could see the time etched in those eyes. He would love to help him in anyway he could. But would Avon allow it? He smiled softly.

"would you like to go on a walk around your beautiful garden? It's really nice out." He commented.

He couldn't stop staring at Avon. He felt a need to protect and pamper him. He wanted to spend as much of his time alongside him. He read never one for relationships, when he could be enthralled in his work. Now, he never realized how much he need someone by his side.

[ChibiMonkey]

(sorry for the delay)

 

Avon was lost in thought as he stared amongst all the old and dusty tools. He should clean this room up, he thought. But he hadn't yet done so all these years, despite how precious it was, mainly because it was so precious he was afraid to move anything out of place, as though it would make the whole room fall apart.

He glanced up at the other as he spoke again, asking about going outside for a walk in the garden. He was a bit surprised by the others suggestion, but certainly hadn't any complaints. Giving a nod, he agreed "Sure" he spoke, pulling his hand away from the desk as he glanced out the window. It seemed the sun was just getting ready to set, it would be beautiful. He then turned, and headed out the door to head outside with the other.

[pandamonium]

HAlexander followed Avon to the garden. The sun was setting, engulfing the sky with shades of purple, pink, orange and yellow. He hadn't just gone on a stroll in so long. It felt nice to go on a stroll with someone, especially Avon. The way the sunset colored his pale skin, giving it a Rosy hue was enthralling.

"it's such a nice evening to take a stroll. It's been so long since i just talked and walked with someone."

He took I the fresh scent of grass and flowers, feeling relaxed and asst peace.

"we should do this more often. Well, since you told me about yourself, i should tell you a bit about myself. I'm an architect. I've had asthma since I've been a child. That's probably about it about me. I'm not a very interesting person to be honest. Tell me a bit more about yourself."

He heard Assn orel hour and a rustle in the grass and few terrified. He grabbed Avon's hand in fear.

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon headed outside with the other, walking out through the garden, small little paths throughout it. They got far into the maze path of the garden, One unfamiliar with it wouldn't know how to get out. Avon of course knew every inch and bit of this garden, every petal of every flower, and branch of every bush. He took care of the garden exceptionally well, even though it was all by himself. The garden was one thing he wouldn't let die. Perhaps because he believed Lyson lived on in the garden. The scientist had wished to be cremated when he died. And, by the mans wishes, Avon had spread the ashes amongst the flowers. Of course, the garden had grown a hundred times bigger than at that time now. Avon had turned that original section though into a little memory section.

Avon was spacing out in his memory, until there was a small rustling, of which the human doll would have normally ignored, if not for the other beside him jumping and grabbing ahold of his hand. He blinked a bit, glancing to their connected hands, before to Alexander. He stared at him curiously, before back the bush, of which a rabbit hopped out of and he smiled "It's just a rabbit."

[pandamonium]

(don't worry about it! :3)

Alexander noticed the rabbit hopping out of the brush and let go of Avon's hand. His face a deep shade of red and embarrassed from his childish antic.

"I'm terribly sorry about that, but I've lived in the city most of my life. I'm not used to seeing rabbits hopping about. I'm such a coward."

He continued to follow Avon around the large garden, admiring the beautiful flowers of all colors and shapes. He had never seen such a large and beautiful garden.

"don't you ever get scared of being here alone?"

He saw the large maze and was in awe.

"wow! That's such an incredible maze! We should go in there sometime!"

It was growing dark. A small glimpse of the sub could be seen I the horizon. The stars were beginning to be seen. The sky was beginning to be colored in purples and blues.

"we should do this more often!"

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon blinked a bit, watching the other curiously as he had gotten frightened by such a small and harmless creature. As the other explained, the corners of his mouth twitched up into a small smile, and he couldn't suppress the smallest amount of a melodic sounding giggle that escaped it pink lips. He smiled as he just continued on walking with the other through the garden, finding he was rather enjoying the time spent with the other. "Scared?" he inquired as the other asked him about being along. His amused and smiling face fell back to the more void and expressionless on as he looked up at the large estate "I suppose I did, for the first few years Lyson was gone. But you adjust..." he trails off softly. Though it was true, and it hardly phased Avon anymore, it was a rather sad thing when being alone for so long became normal. Especially for Avon, who was created to accompany, and entertain. He wasn't created to be left alone, and somewhere deep inside Avon, he knew that.

[pandamonium]

Alexander looked towards the sky, watching the stars appear.

"I moved here, cuz i planned on leaving the city. I had grown tired of the daddy paced life. I harshly had a minute to myself and when i did... I was lost."

He laughed softly and sighed. He looked towards Avon with a sad smile.

"you should be happy that you had a chance to fall in love and be loved. It's sad, of course, when you lose the person you had such strong feelings towards. But that doesn't mean. someone else won't come around and fall for you."

He continued walking besides Avon and felt embarrassed by what he said.

"sorry. It just came out."

Night had encompassed the entire estate. The buzz and chirp of insects filled the air. He began to feel bites against gods adjoin.

"I'm sorry for cutting this walk short, but I've become a mosquito's all you can eat buffet. Would you mind going back inside?"

He continued to swat the insects away from his skin..

[ChibiMonkey]

(Whaaahhh! Sorry, hadn't realized I never posted to this >.

 

Avon looked to the other curiously "You lived in the city?" he asked, eyes wide with curiosity and envy "What was it like?" he asked. He'd never been to a real city before. When Lyson was alive, though the man took him places, they hadn't lived near any really developed city, there wasn't one close by in those times. And even now, the closes one was probably a good distance. Avon never experienced one, just what went on around this village. It was obvious how curious and interested he was in seeing a city.

 

As he listened to the other start to explain about the love between his master and himself, he had to wonder, was the other right? "Maybe, but I wonder...Lyson created me. I lived for him, quite literally. I was made to serve and entertain, to accompany...But I wonder If that was only for Lyson...perhaps, without him there is no reason for me" he thought aloud. Though they were depressing thoughts, Avon had long ago accepted this thoughts in his mind, as, with so much time, all he had was to think and wonder such things.

 

He looked to the other curiously when he mentioned mosquitoes, and he looked at the bugs floating around the human, compared to them ignoring him. Probably because he wasn't human, and not what the blood sucking insects were looking for. He nodded his head "Oh...sure" he agreed as he headed back to the house with the other, heading inside, letting the other go on ahead before him.

[pandamonium]

When Avon asked about the city, he smiled.

"it's alright. Would you life to go to a big city? We could go to museums, restaurants, do some shopping, and just admiring the scenery."

He felt relaxed and at peace just walking at night alongside Avon. When he heard Avon speak aloud what was his purpose and if he should even be alive, he felt fearful. He'd hate to see Avon disappear. He was his companion, a friend. Maybe even more.

"you have purpose. You just need to go out there and find it! I'll accompany you so you don't feel alone. I like for us to be friends and companions."

He smiled warmly and sincerely. When the mosquitoes continued to bite him, he couldn't stand it anymore and asked Avon if they could head inside. He felt terrible citing the walk short. He was enjoying the walk and talking with Avon.

"sorry for citing this walk short. I truly was enjoyingmyselfand just being alongside you. I should get some mosquito repellent and then well be able to walk for hours!"

They returned back inside and Alexander decided to set a pot for tea.

"would you like some tea? I had bought these pastries at a bakery earlier and would like to share then with you. They're delicious! I had a few on my way here."

He chuckled and went to get tea cups and the pastries. The put boiled and he poured the hot water into a teapot. He set some tea leaves into the pot. He returned towards Avon with tea and pastries, set on a platter.

"help yourself to the tea and pastries!"

(don't worry, shit happens. :-P )

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon smiled a bit as the other asked him about going to a city, and he nodded his head a bit "It sounds fun, I've never been to one...I've heard they are popular, and very very busy with crowds of people" he said with a thoughtful smile as he closed the door behind them, following the other who headed into the kitchen. He listened as the other started to explain about him having a purpose and everything, and he frowned a bit "Do I? Is it possible to have a second purpose? Lyson was all my life was about before...I wonder what you do, when you lose that purpose..." he murmured to himself, before looking to the other who mentioned being friends, and he smiled a bit, agreeing with a nod "I hope us to be good friends as well" He said, watching the other bustle about the kitchen, getting pastries and tea "Weren't you going to bed?" he thought out loud, though, of course not minding more of the others company.

[pandamonium]

Alexander set the platter of pastries and tea. He sat down and grabbed a pastry. He turned to look at Avon and smiled.

"i don't see why you shouldn't have more than one purpose. I thought my purpose was being an architect, but as time i realized that it wasn't what i wanted to do anymore. So I guess you can have more than one!"

He ate the pastry and took a sip of his tea. When Avon asked him about going to bed, he set his cup down

"i was tired earlier, but not anymore. I'm enjoying myself too much chatting with you!"

He handed Avon a cup of tea and a pastry.

"here try them! They're delish!"

He continued to sip his tea at a calm pace.

"if you'd like, well go to the big city next week! I need to meet up with my associate slash friend and we could go where you wasn't to go!"

He grinned and bounced excitedly over the thought of spending time together.

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon thought about it as he listened to the other, intrigued by his point of view. He tilted his head curiously "You're not an architect any longer? I thought that is why you had come here, to see this estate?" He asked curiously. "If that is not your purpose...then what is? How do you know?" he asked curiously. Alexander really did interest him a lot. He was interesting. Perhaps it was because he was the first human contact he had really gotten in so very long. Or perhaps it was his persona, how similar he is to his late master, Lyson. Whatever the reason, Avon was unsure, but all he knew what that he very much enjoyed Alexander's company, for whatever reason may it be.

 

He looked to the dish and cup as the other went on about enjoying and preferring talking to him, and he lightly smiled "Really?" He asked, glad "I am, too..." he murmured as he took one of the pastries, gently taking a bite of it as the sweet dissolved in his mouth practically. His eyes lit up a bit in delight "these are really good" he commented.

[pandamonium]

Alexander smiled and took a sip of his tea.

"i am the head architect of the company. Is personally don't wasn't to anymore, but I have one last project to complete. My subordinates and co-partner. So since its almost over, I don't need to be there anymore. Just a couple more weeks and I'll be free. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying myself." He said with a chuckle.

He leaned forward and poured himself another cup of tea.

"my purpose at the meantime is to just enjoy life for now. I'm living it up and loving every minute of it".

He ate another pastry and took another sip. Loving the cozy feeling he felt of just being around Avon and enjoying the time asit went by. He listened to what Avon said and answered as well as he could.

As Avon took a bite from the pastry and the look of enjoyment caused Alexander's heart to flutter.

"I'm glad you enjoy them! Help yourself to more of them! There's plenty!"

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon looked at him curiousily as he spoke, coming up with more questions in his mind about the other "So, what is it you truly desire, that you'll do after this? Anything in particular, or, just, 'enjoy life' as you say?" he asked as he took another bite of the pastry, enjoying it just as much as the first bite, but not making as much commotion about it as the first. He took a sip of his tea to wash it down before going back to talking with the other "So, this is you're last project then...?" he asked and frowned as a worried thought came to him "You're updating this house, adding small things to it...for what reason? What do you plan to do with it when you're done?" he asked worriedly. He hoped he wouldn't sell it, or do something like that with it.

[pandamonium]

Alexander was surprised by Avon's question. He looked down at his cup ave frowned. What was he going to do now? He asked himself. He sighed and took a sip if his tea.

"i gave no idea what I'm going to do now. I'll just enjoy some freedom and see what happens next. I just don't want to be an architect anymore. I'm unfulfilled. But maybe together, we'll find some purpose."

He smiled warmly and filled his cup with tea.

He nodded at Avon's other question.

"yeah, it's my final project before i retire."

Avon asked him what his plans for the estate were. He noticed the worry emitting from Avon.

"don't worry. I'm not selling this estate. I'm planning to live here."

He smiled and continued sipping his tea.

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon listened to the other curiously as he said he didn't know what he would do, simply, live life to enjoy it, not to work. He smiled a bit at that idea, glad the other could have such a carefree outlook, not a care in the world kind of perspective on things. He smiled a bit, a warm feeling tingling through his cold and old doll body, as the male said perhaps they'd find purpose together. Avon wouldn't mind living with the other, he'd enjoy another's company. Of course he still missed, Lyson, but, that was a century ago, decades, there was nothing he could do for that man any longer, other than to continue to protect, watch over and care for this estate, which, he would, of course. He looked up at Alexander when he said he wasn't planning to sell the place, and he smiled happily with a nod "Thank you..."

[pandamonium]

Alexander smiled and blushed. He fiddled with his shirt's hems.

"you shouldn't thank me. I didn't do a thing."

He filled himself another cup of tea. He had been drinking a lot of tea. When he grew nervous, he had a habit of drinking endlessly. He worked hard on not using his habit as a crutch for his anxiety. He always felt empty after drinking and just hated how weak he felt for it. He snapped out of his deep thoughts and realized he had finished his cup of tea. He filled himself another cup, realizing too late that he had run out of tea.

"I'm sorry for interrupting you right now, but we have run out of tea. I'll be back with a filled teakettle.

He stood and made his way to the kitchen. He returned shortly with the filled teakettle. He sat down and filled his cup with tea.

"maybe it was destiny that brought us together. Er...so i like yo believe."

Hew felt himself grow warm from embarrassment over what he had said. He couldn't help but feel something towards Avon after the first tome he met him. Like a sad melting feeling. He wasn't sure if Avon felt like he did. He highly doubted it, but deep down he hoped he did. He started to feel like going to the bathroom.

"I'm sorry again for interrupting you, buy i need to use the bathroom., I'll be right back."

He stood and hurriedly shuffled towards the bathroom.

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon smiled a bit even when the other seemed to get a bit flustered and said he needn't thank him or anything. Avon still was grateful to the other. That had been one of the main things the doll had worried about when the male came in here and started fixing the place up. He worried he was trying to make his livable for others to sell to them. But it was a relief that that was not the case here. He watched him get up to go get more tea, letting him, as Avon himself was done for the time being, having drank enough. He continued to talk with the other a bit before he mentioned he had to go to the bathroom "It's no problem. It's late, and so therefore you should probably get some rest anyways. I'm sure you need your rest." he said with a small smile.

[pandamonium]

Alexander was disappointed by having to go to bed. He shook his head.

"no. I'm not tired yet. We can still talk if you would like to!" He asked nervously.

He still needed to use the bathroom. He hurried to the bathroom and came back as soon as he could. He plopped down the chair he was sitting on and poured himself another cup of tea.

"so...tell me. Have you ever traveled anywhere near this estate back when you were with your master?" He took a sip of his tea and then felt terrible for asking such a question. "I'm really sorry. I shouldn't be asking so many questions."

He continued gulping down his tea.

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon blinked a bit at the others clear eagerness to stay up and continued talking to him. He smiled a bit, finding it endearing as he sat back down in the living room and waiting for the other to come back from the bathroom. He sat there, leaning back against the couch as he stared out the window at the starry night sky. Hearing the footsteps coming back closer and the others voice speaking up, he looked back over at him, seeing him sit in the chair "It's alright" he said with a slight smile "I didn't really travel anywhere other than the town. It was a lot more populated back then, though, still no city. Many people don't like to live here anymore...this town is dying" he muttered softly with a sigh.

[pandamonium]

Alexander was enthralled by Avon's tales of the past. He wished to be able to be in the town back when it was thriving and full off people. He felt his chest hurt as Avon explained how the town was dying.

"why had the townspeople left this town? Had something occurred to have caused so many people to leave?" He asked sympathetically.

He set the cup down and leaned on the chair. Hearing the soft chirping I'd the crickets and the occasional squeak of the mice.

"you must have been terribly lonely here." He said softly.

[ChibiMonkey]

Avon sighed a bit when the other asked about the lack of people in the town, and why it seemed to be dying "I suppose that would be my fault, perhaps" he muttered as he looked back out the window over the dark, sleeping town in the night. "Lyson had created me, both of his own curiosity and scientific interest, but also to help provide entertainment for the town. I was created to sing, and dance, and I'd preform for the townspeople down in the square, since this town otherwise had nothing much else of importance to it. People would even come travel to see me, a human-like doll Lyson had created, as many people knew about my master, and how ingenious he was" he said, though, knew that didn't explain why the town was now dying, if his existence was the core of its liveliness and everything.

 

"Ever since my master died thought, I've grown worn down. It is true I do not age, but without maintenance, I have the same effect as growing old. All these scratches and nicks on my body, the dirt...all of what you can visibly see, I'm no longer a desired doll of attention. Without my master, I have trouble of taking care of myself, since he never fully showed me how, he was always here to do it for me. After his passing, I'd go and continue to entertain the town after my mourning for my master. And it worked for a while. But as years passed, my body grew worn and beaten as it is now. No one wished to look at me any longer, they lost interest. So I stopped trying, and locked myself away here instead" he explained.

 

There was a myth and story about a doll in this castle, being Avon, and his history, his existence. But for the first time, that was the real side of the story getting out. The fable children were told was that the doll grew too depressed with the loss of his master, and with that, locked himself away in the castle, to disappear, and that was all last heard of him.

[pandamonium]

Alexander felt his chest tighten and tears prick the corner of his eyes. The pain he muddy have felt, alone and considered of no interest. He did remember his grandfather talking of Avon so highly. How he would love to see the doll perform one last time, before he died.

"you know. My grandfather wrote me a children's book. He was a writer and loved to travel. He told me about how he saw this beautiful doll perform. He wanted to see the doll perform again, but he died. I'd love to help you any way i can. And one day, if live to see what my grandfather saw." He said, smiling brightly.

He heard a loud dong and noticed the grandfather stroke midnight. He started to laugh loudly. He tried to catch his breathe. Once he stopped and caught his breathe, he wiped the tears from his eyes.

"I'm really sorry, one the clock struck midnight I was thinking, if i was a princess, if have to leave." He cleared his throat, "I'm such a Duane man."

He started to play with the hem of his shirt. "you know, when i first saw you, i never noticed any of your nicks and scratches. I thought, and still think, you're beautiful." He grinned and blushed, looking away.

[ChibiMonkey]

After explaining to Alexander, Avon went silent, sadly staring out the window with a slightly longing expression. Part of him still longed to be that doll he once was, that entertained people, sung and danced for them. It was what he was created to do, so of course part of him longed for it. It was the same longing he felt for his master when he died, and the mourning having taken place for him. But Avon was physically unable to cry for his masters death, not having the human ability to do so.

 

Hearing the other speak up again, he looked to him, hearing him explain about his story from his father. He smiled a bit, glad to hear someone had enjoyed him still, though, that man had died. It was unfortunate, as Avon started to think he'd love to preform for someone who was interested again. But then Alexander continued to speak, of having the same wish to see him preform, as well as thinking of his beauty even with his old rustic beaten state he was in, after being left alone and untended to for so long "Really...?" he muttered softly, managing a small smile "I would love to, for you..."
