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.]

[A bitter smile. Just because they can't touch her doesn't mean they can't hurt her.]

Wish time would move faster.

Me too.

[All his friends are really taking this hard.]

Hey Saya? Where are you?

[video]

[Her response is immediate.]

It doesn't matter. Don't come over.

Huh? Why not?

I mean... it's way worse when you're alone.

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
No... No, it isn't. It's better.

[As long as she reminds herself that he isn't solid, that he isn't real, that she isn't going to die... she can get through it alone.]

It is not. Come on Saya, tell me.

How come you can help other people, but you won't let them help you?

[video]

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Because unlike them, I don't need help.

[Ever.]

[video]

[identity profile] lockandkeyblade.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Come on Saya, lemme help anyway!

I'm not giving up til' you tell me!

[video]

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Save it, Sora! I'm fine! Other people would just... just cause more problems for me!

[video]

[identity profile] lockandkeyblade.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
F-fine then!

[FFffffffffff dang it all, Saya! Why you gotta be so stubborn! He scrambles for an answer.]

Then... then... you said you like helping people right?

[video]

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[She thinks fast, though.]

But if you're going to tell me that it'd help your conscience to let you help me, don't expect me to buy it.

[video] ohohooo these two.

[identity profile] lockandkeyblade.livejournal.com 2010-12-25 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Good, 'cause that's not what I'm asking for.

I'm asking because... because I need help.

[video] it's on, sora

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

Fire away.

[She figures this might distract her.]

[video] it's on, sora

[identity profile] lockandkeyblade.livejournal.com 2010-12-26 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I need help with mine.

[He's so obvious, but he's not about to let Saya go off on her own during something like this.]

With my ghosts.

[video]

[identity profile] sweeperesque.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
.... What're you seeing, exactly?

[video] lol edit

[identity profile] lockandkeyblade.livejournal.com 2010-12-27 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[At the question, he frowns.]

... Wish I knew.

[And now that he actually stops thinks about it, it... kind of does bother him. Quite a bit.]

These ghosts... they're supposed to be people who are gone. People who are important, but who aren't here anymore, right?
