Notail Simulator Beta (4/4)

"No I'll go try making friends! I was friends I think with the N-classes before they started avoiding me, I'll go to the church! =3"
You turn around and run away. Your friend tries to tell you something, tries to warn you about the church monster but you already flee the area. Even though you decided to leave the area you were both sad and mad at your friend cause you felt like you were tossed away.

=

You reach the door of the church and decide to try and sneak your way in. You just wanted to quietly walk in and sit down. Maybe then you can listen to the N-classes recite passages from the book and talk with them. Maybe learn why they've been avoiding you. You place your hand on the door and....

It creaks loudly. The adult notail at the stand stops talking. The kids sitting down spin their head to look at you. You nervously laugh and wave your hand.

"Hi I'm-"

"We know what you are anomaly! :^)" shouts one kid.
"A monster is in our village!!! -u-" shouts another, they're all pointing at you while calling you an "anomaly" and "monster." You freeze up at the shouting. The priest of the church approaches you. You didn't even notice due to how swift she was.

The first thing you noticed is that she had no number. The second thing you noticed was that she had a face.

But no expression.

"What god did this to you kid?"

You don't know what she's talking about and back up. You attempt to run away but her longer than normal claws grab the back of your shirt and she roughly pulls you closer.

Her hands, the only thing that she hasn't carefully covered up are like the feet of a bird. Not just in shape too, but they looked as if someone cut off a bird's legs and placed them on her. You could even see feathers down her arm.

She takes out a knife.

"You! You're an agent for the gods! You've come to see me so that you could report on the blessing huh? The god you work for thinks this is funny?" She screams, a strange bird like chittering coming from her.

"I know you're an anomaly. It all started when I noticed that the drivers were coming 10 minutes early. It was a hunch but I found out that every clock in this village was 10 minutes late. One clock, two clocks, even a few clocks messing up would be normal, but every single last clock was wrong. I suspected an anomaly and I cannot have an blessed beings within the village."

"That's when one of the N-classes told me that you thought you died one day but you came back. A little digging, a little comparison, and it turns out that around the time you had your incident, time messed up. That's when I knew it. You're an agent of the Mirage aren't you?"

"N-No? =3" You sputter out.

"Oh, and you're just going to tell me that time travel, at this time of the year, at the time of your incident, in this part of the planet, localized entirely within our village, is normal?"

"Yes? =3" You didn't know what else to say.

She raises the knife.
"Well lets test this out, shall we?"

The knife comes downwards on you.

But you're saved by the bell.

The thunder crane bell is rung and she suddenly drops her knife, covering her ears as she backs up and screeches.

You run. Maybe your mind was making up things out of fear but you swear you saw her grow wings.

The skies darken and clouds suddenly spawn from nowhere. The thunder crane appears and strikes down a beast that had invaded the village. It circles the village a few more times seemingly looking for something else before flying back up into the clouds and disappearing.

You didn't leave your room for two days until your friend bursts in with excitement.

"I got the creature I wanted! I got the creature! I can't wait to show you! Did you make any friends same face? They can come see my creature too! =3"

You tap your fingers as you sit on your bed. You want to lie, you want to have good news but all you can talk about are your fears.

"I think...the pastor is the thunder crane. =3"

Your friend's excitement dies down instantly. You can tell he doesn't know what to say.

"Oh. Ok. =3" and then he leaves to go talk about what happened to his other friends.

You don't blame him.

The next year is horrible. Before only the N-classes were avoiding you but now everyone was except for your friends. Even the M-class caretakers were interacting with you less. Sometimes kids would throw rocks at you, calling you an anomaly. At first you would get scared and run away but after so much abuse you finally got pissed off. You were bigger than any other kid in the village and you were easily one of the strongest of them.

You stopped being a [pushover] and [easily startled] and became [easily agitated] and [infamous]. Kids avoided you but you didn't care because you wanted to avoid them as well. You start becoming [Unforgiving]. When someone messes with you even once you never forget it. Ever.

While looting some extra supplies you were finally caught by one of the caretakers. They patch up the entrance you were using to loot supplies and you get punished by being put on the utter edge of the village limits and having to find your way back to the village yourself.

Jokes on them, you'd go this far out for fun.

You no longer do your quests, and at this point the caretakers don't even care. At your yearly review they didn't say "We're disappointed in you." they said "You're going to die in the woods and at this point you're just taking up space. You better hope you're a mislabeled Lone-E class."

You stomped out of that review, even if you were crying under your face. You couldn't do your quests if you wanted to, the stupid quests started to require teamwork to do and when they didn't they were talking about advanced concepts you didn't understand and no one would help you!

Every time you think about your first caretaker and how they had high hopes for you you get upset. Both because you know if they saw you now they'd talk about you as bitterly as the other M-classes and because you were starting to forget how they looked and sounded.

The only things good going for you for the last year is that your gwech had been growing quite healthy, your friend is still your best friend even though he's unable to hang out with you as much, both because his friends think you're an anomaly and because he had to train for the woods, and you've been getting even stronger.

Your fights with other kids and with some of the wildlife outside the village has made you quite powerful for someone your age, and honestly in comparison to notails in general! You've also become an expert at knives. You could bring a knife to a gun fight and win. Some adults would be scared by your power. You suppose this is why none of the caretakers want to force you to do your work.

This year is sort of like your first year here. No one telling you what you need to do. You can do anything you want. You're not too keen on interacting with your peers after all they've done, and still do to you. They think you're a monster and a bully anyway, why should you even be near them?

The bad habits you picked up early in life are starting to fester. Badly.
