-bows gracefully with a smile- Hello there everyone, it’s a pleasure to meet you all.
I’m Shannon, second-ranked furniture to the Ushiromiya family. I have been graced with the honor of serving this family and have been permitted to bare the one-winged eagle. I am truly grateful to the family for letting me have an education even though I was but a simple orphan from the Fukuin boarding house. I’ve served under this household for about ten years now, since I was about six years old. I had thrown away my real name and settled upon, Shannon, as was the custom for us Fukuin graduates who were chosen to be with Kinzo-sama. The other servants and I live in the Ushiromiya mansion; it is not that often that we get to venture outside the mansion or the island.
Life at the mansion depends for me... I am either scolded by Natsuhi-sama, Gohda, or Eva-sama, cleaning somewhere in the mansion, or serving the delicious food that Gohda cooks to guests. With even a slightest sign of my being inept, I’m yelled at which adds to my flushed appearance and the ability to not serve perfectly. Eva-sama labels me as uneducated, incompetent, unqualified, and uncultured. She has haunted me even through my dreams, striking me down with those words and I…shed tears and feel shame as I look at myself... Gohda and Natsuhi-sama also think this way. They think I’m a disgrace to Ushiromiya family whenever I fumble unnecessarily and wonder how I was suitable for the one-winged eagle.
Whenever I have time to myself when work has all but finished, I always make my way to the beach. The beautiful serene setting with the vibrant colored sea just melts most of my daily troubles away. Thinking only of the positive things to look forward to like watching the cousins meet up together once a year and see how they perceive life. I lose myself to the soothing sea, wondering what life had left to offer me throughout my stay here in the mansion…
The sea is a beautiful hue of blue that’s what I learned…
I’m a clumsy girl who is embarrassed very easily; I tend to not perform my best if the tension in the room is truly suffocating. I perform my tasks slowly to really plow through whatever I need to do mindfully, but this habit of mine has also caused some scolding. Sometimes it seems my words come out as retaliation to Natsuhi-sama... so I receive punishment.
The uniform I wear was designed by Kinzo-sama. It’s fairly easy to move around with so I’m fine with it even though my leg baring the one-winged eagle is easily shown. I also have other clothing around, like the one I wore during my outing with George-sama, but usually I’m seen wearing this maid outfit, tending to the mansion with care.
There are also times where I chat with Jessica-sama and… George-sama. Besides Kanon, I truly love hanging out with them…
Though… considering my rank, I am not worthy of being with them. I often forget that I am furniture and as furniture we shouldn’t wish for anything more than what we have already. Not even, love... Even so, I’m foolish as Kanon would say… I want to become human. Why was I given a heart in the first place…? It’s gets to be painful at times...
Chatting with them however is like an addicting, forbidden drug, there are times where I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t taken it. Would I still be who I am right now…? Perhaps my desire to become human wouldn’t be as high as it is…
Nevertheless, I still cherish our times together. Those wonderful times that made me feel “human”.
George-sama… Throughout the endless insults thrown at me, he’s always tried to help me during situations such as the “Earl Grey Tea” incident. I’m truly grateful to him also. During that time in the aquarium, it really cheered me up nearly making me forget about life in the mansion. Magic exists… that’s what I told him… Magic was what brought us together. He agreed with my statement and hugged me in his warm, tender arms before that day ended. Even though I’m furniture in this competitive game board… even though all odds are against us… We’ll still be with each other even as spirits.
Even though I’ve committed a sin that shall banish me from the heavens…
He kept his word by proposing to me while at the rose garden. I stand there wondering if I should take it… A side of me says no—listing all the ways of how I’m completely unworthy of such an honor, another says yes—that I deserve to be happy with the one I love, and a third says… think about it before jumping into conclusions….
Jessica-sama… She’s the only one I can talk to about George-sama and for other girl advice. I thank her very much for pushing me and George-sama and I do wish her and Kanon well. Perhaps she’ll be in my shoes after this whole mess is over with. We chat about each other’s secrets that we couldn’t tell anyone about and we trust each other to keep them safe. I guess she is like a sister to me, even if we come from different ranks. It’s always good to consult with someone my own age on such things…
Kanon, even if we’re not blood related, I still consider him to be a little brother. He looks out for me even though I don’t wish to burden him so. We’ve been together since the Fukuin boarding house, although, I was recruited first and a few years later, Kanon. I would give my life for him and I wish him happiness… Perhaps Jessica will help him through life, maybe she could convince him that the sea is blue and not the dark abyss that is called black.
Battler-sama, we haven’t seen each other for six years, and yet he is still somewhat the same old Battler. Though, with his return to Rokkenjima as an Ushiromiya after six years, things are sure to be different for him. Especially dealing with Beatrice-sama, hopefully Battler-sama could overcome her obstacles. Even though, I can’t help him, I’ll always cheer for him during his battles against Beatrice-sama in spirit…
As for Beatrice-sama, I admit I am grateful to her for allowing me to have a chance with George-sama, but… to toy with everyone… including me… Yes, for a while before the games even started, I had fallen into her grasp. I was being friendly with her thinking of her as someone who I can console with like Jessica-sama, I thought I could trust her. My naivety thought of her not as a bad witch, but a friend. I see now that Kanon’s attempt to sever all ties with her was trying to help me… I could have just refused her offer and continued my life as furniture; I could have continued to walk that road of abuse. I wish I could help everyone survive and live on to the end of the games, but I’m just furniture… If the roulette chooses me, I’m…to accept it. Though, I’ll try my hardest to fight alongside the Ushiromiya family for they are what made me into who I am.
I fight for my own future… even if there’s no use. I still have to try and be rid of you, Beatrice-sama…
Kanon and I both have our own specials skills that we’ve gained from being furniture to Kinzo-sama. I have a shield that can deflect attacks as they hit, I still need to practice more in order to be confident that I could truly protect anyone… When Kanon and I team up, it doesn’t take long to realize we’re a force to be reckoned it. I focus on detecting attacks while he acts and destroys it. We’re an even match for the Siestas.
It was I who broke the mirror from the shrine; Beatrice-sama told me it would end it all. End my sufferings as furniture and to embrace the new pain that came with being human. I knew it was wrong, yet being teased at the chance of becoming human; I succumbed to the urge like Adam and Eve. Now I have to struggle to survive, carrying the weight of having broken an important item that perhaps shielded the island from negative magic.
To have broken it because of my weak-willed self…
I wonder constantly if what I did was just or unjust. To have Beatrice-sama’s powers come back and grant my wish… was it worth seeing everyone suffer?
I wish for everyone to be happy, to be free and live life to the fullest.
As for me, nothing would please me more than to see everyone’s smiling faces.
( If this doesn't scream serious Shannon roleplayer, I don't know what does. 8|
Yes I typed all that...if you see it anywhere... Kanon and I will find out who it is and... -coughs-
Along with the usually roleplaying style here, I'm all for pararps. Note away~
I'm a Visual Novel reader. I've read all of Onikakushi-hen and Saikoroshi-hen, and all of Umineko that's been translated so far. I'm currently waiting for EP5 to be translated. Yes, I watch the Umineko anime. :3) |
