Gather 'round kiddies, if you'd like. I'm gunna recount a tail, a horrible memory...

But just know, it's not something I like to remember, much less talk about.

I was just barely seven years old. Muma was an architect, and Daddy was a construction worker. They'd started a construction company together a few years ago, and it was going steady. They had a few workers under them, ya know, but not too many. They didn't want it to be a big thing, for some odd reason...

But yeah. So they worked there, usually during the day, but quite a few times they'd have to work at night, instead. Rarely, they'd have to work all day and night, nonstop. I don't know how they did it. But they managed. And they never worked separate shifts, they always wanted to work together, so they wouldn't miss each other. Sometimes I got to go too, but I didn't learn. Mostly I was just in the way. But as long as I wasn't putting myself in danger, they didn't really mind.

But one day, they were really pressed for time. They'd had to work the night before, and had only gotten a couple hours sleep before going back. They day started off normal, they dropped me off at school before going off to work. Ya know, normal family stuff. And when I got home, the babysitter was there. Nothing out of the ordinary. At least, not for me. Had my snack, did my homework, parents came home for a quick dinner before leaving again. Which upset me, but ya know, I was used to it. Nothing I could do anyway.

So the babysitter ended up having to stay the night with me. She didn't mind; we got along pretty well, she liked me. I took my bath, got on my pj's she read me a story and tucked me in. And soon, I was asleep.

And it was the last good night's sleep I had for thirteen years.

I woke up, it musta been about one in the morning? Later. I dunno anymore, really. But I wake up to the phone ringing. I sat up and yawned, went to the potty, and went back to bed, guessing my parents were just checking up on me, or were on their way home. But then the babysitter walks back into my room to see if I'm awake, and she just looks miserable. So I sat back up, tilting my head like I do. And then she broke the news...

Someone'd lost control of the wrecking ball. And it smushed my parents.

And I was an orphan.

And that, boys and girls, is how that happened.
RANDOMEDITFTW!

So yah, went poking around the missions, and this actually counts as one! And I'd never noticed it till now! owo So random moment of triumph or something.

But yeah, this counts as the Advanced Mission "Reflective Origins."

.w. Yay random noticing

-------------------------------

What happened to Rix's parents, that caused her to be orphaned at the age of seven, in her own words, in the form of a story she told to a few members in Org-Eternal.

Random fact, Rixnae can't sleep too good in a place she doesn't feel safe in. owo;

She might not admit it to too many people, but she does consider the Org home, pretty much the only one she had since that fateful night. .-.

So just a little history on Rixnae.

And many thanks to Jazz, :iconxylineol-faedark:, for helping me think up the idea that caused this story. <3

Rixnae (c) me, :icondemyx-muffin:
