It was summer vacation, and the family was packing up to go to their new apartment in Triumph City. There had been weeks of tearful goodbyes, and now, left in the house with only her drunken cat, an iPod, and boxes while her parents took a load out, she felt extremely bored and craving attention (and Cheetos, but that was beside the point). All her friends, however, were busy, and she had to pack, so there was no getting together for one last time...

The girl would hear a knock on the living room door then, as well as someone trying to calm a crying baby.

She furrowed her brow, turning down her iPod while standing up and heading downstairs to answer the door.

She'd find a lanky, pink-haired twenty year old woman standing at the doorway then, holding a crying one year old.
"Isolde?" She asked, "I know you're moving but... can you watch Marylin for an hour or two? Please? I need to run an errand and..."

She sighed, taking the baby.
"Sure thing."

The girl smiled and handed her a baby bag before darting off. Isolde would hear someone upstairs packing but... home alone.
Who the hell was that?

Suspicious, she set the baby down on the couch, shushing it to the best of her abilities. She grabbed a baseball bat from next to the door, and crept up the stairs, stanced and ready.
"Knight Kitty?" She called.

She'd find a man in his late twenties sorting through her things once she was upstairs- and rather blatantly was, for the lack of a better word, her brother- Lohn.
"....You're not very good at organizing, Isolde." He shouted down the hall.

"Oh!" She dropped the bat then, smiling widely. "It's you! And I know I'm not. I suck at it."

"...why the bloody hell did ya not get any sort of help?" He replied, brow raised as he stared at her for a moment, before plopping a random assortment of clothes into a box.

"Because none of my friends WANT to help?" She asked, pushing the clothes down into the box. "They kinda suck."

"Ah, yes, fair enough." The medieval-born man shrugged then, moving onto a shelf. "...and aren't you supposed to be doing something, young lady?"

"Babysitting." She groaned. "Damn it...."
She trudged downstairs to pick up her niece, bringing her upstairs with her.

The brunette infant wouldn't stop sobbing her eyes out as she was brought upstairs.
Lohn winced as the kid cried. "I think you're holding her wrong!" He shouted. "Get it to stop crying!'

She shifted her around.
"Dammit... Marylin, stop!"

The kid finally stopped then. ...and was busy playing with her babysitter's hair. And giggling whenever she yanked it.
"...I'll just... finish packing." Replied Lohn with a light sigh justbefore. "Go watch a movie or whatever they're called."

Lohn just swatted at her as he started to pack the girl's ungodly amount of belongings.
...'sides, he'd be done in twenty five minutes, tops.
