video ● eleventh reflection

[ FORWARD-DATED TO THE EVENING OF THE 23RD. (As tags will be slow for a while after.) ]

[There's a click as the feed starts and Saya hums a bit. She looks a bit tired but there's nothing about her demeanor that specifically tells that she's been haunted for the last couple days.]

The eve of Christmas Eve, guys! I figure most of us are pushing back our holiday plans considering everything that's happening, but I've found the most reliable mailman, so I hope some of you get your presents! Is everyone managing with your ghosts, though? I had one of my own but I haven't seen him lately. Then again, he always had that habit with disappearing. But if you ever need a place to crash or someone to talk to, you know where to go~

[She grins cheekily. Though suddenly her expression is confused.

What was that chill?

Will you continue to destroy others, witch?

The air is electrified. Everything is tense. Every fiber of her being on edge. Him. That voice. That insult. Only he would- Only her murderer would.

The broadcast is left forgotten as she whips around in her chair, her back to the SFC now as it lay on the table, entirely neglected. Because all at once, she's forgotten. Forgotten the curse, forgotten the ghosts, forgotten everything. Only remembering that she is facing the man who took her life.

Nevermind that this voice is only in her head.]


H-Hey.... I-I liked Train better. Why are you here? I don't want to- to....

[--to die again.

Her voice shakes, much as her frame does now. All the worldly experience that she exudes in her posture and confidence has been stripped from her now, just as she feels that the world has been yanked from underneath her.

Train Train Train. You don't even deserve to say his name, witch! He's not here to save you now. And truly, I will not fail to cut out your heart-

She leaps to her feet and knocks the SFC off the table in her haste. It clicks off. There will be no audience as she loses her mind.]

... Hah. Right. Well, I'll try anything at this rate.

[... except instead of going with the punch method, that gun is drawn and fired immediately. Though the ghost brings up his katana to deflect it, it only goes straight through and hits him too.

For a few moments, he's gone.

... and then she laughs.]

*And after the shot is fired he applauds.*

"Nice shot" - as America-san would say.

*The laugh, however, is bit surprising. So he blinks.*

...And by that laughter, you seem better.

Mm...

.... I haven't aimed for the heart before. I don't know if I should feel guilty or...

[identity profile] nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com 2010-12-24 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
For now it should be fine.

Besides, he had done something horrible to you, hadn't he? *although he already know what it is.* And the real person won't feel a thing.

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-24 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[... Hm.]

Did I make it that obvious? That he'd done something bad, I mean-

[identity profile] nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com 2010-12-24 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
... I'm afraid so. *And that he kind of knows what happened.*

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-24 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
... heh, damn. You got any tips for acting?

[identity profile] nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
*chuckles* I am not much of an actor either. But I hear practicing helps.

Practicing deceit? Not sure if I should make a habit of it.

[identity profile] nippon-ga-yo.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes deceit can be a very polite thing to do Minatsuki-san. Of course, lying about everything isn't recommendable.
