staticspine;

He’d heard vague mention of a “Kayla” before, so at the very least… he felt somewhat reassured that perhaps this wasn’t another of those unfortunate events that seemed to be lurking at every turn- even with the good streak they’d had lately.

“I’ve heard her mention you before… but I haven’t pried much into the subject, myself.” He’ a bit hesitant, but he offers his hand to properly greet her due to his programmed politeness protocols.

“I’m Static… and I’m Emilie’s fiance.”

A bit of a smile creeps onto her face as she accepts the extended hand. She already knew that Emilie had spoken about her before, it’s why she’d chosen that name. Taking his hand, she gave it a firm shake.

                    “ Fiance, huh? ”

She raises an eyebrow, now that was a twist, especially since when she’d gone through Emilie’s mind he’d been gone for, eight years was it?

                    “ Guess I shouldn’t be too surprised she’s settling down, I                                 mean it’s been 12 years now... Congratulations on                                 actually being able to pin her down, she wasn’t exactly                                 looking for a relationship back when I knew her. I swear                                 some nights I swore she was gonna marry the piano at                                 the bar... if she didn’t manage to marry her studies first. ”

She’s teasing, taking off of jokes that Kayla, the real Kayla had said to her years ago.

                    “ I’m not surprised she hasn’t talked too much about it though...                                  I mean she probably thought I was dead... Most of them did                                  die. There’s only a few of us left now... I’ve actually been                                  looking for her a few years now... I just want her to know none                                  of us blame her for what happened... We had kind of a big fight                                  the last time we saw each other... I said a lot of shit I didn’t                                  mean... If she’s anything like what she used to be, she’s been                                  holding onto that for a long time... I want her to know it’s okay                                  to let it go... We used to be best friends. ” 

"I heard you were the one I need to speak to about finding an old friend of mine... Her name's Emilie. Sweet lil' redhead, piano player? Very smart, was going' after her doctorate in engineering last time I saw her... Did I hear right about how t' find her?"

His brow raised at that inquiry- something about this situation made him feel slightly… nervous. He wasn’t entirely sure why, but he’d assume that it was merely due to the past, and how often trouble found its way to Emilie.

“…You did, but why do you ask..?”

“You’re my very best friend.”

“We’ll always be friends forever, won’t we?”

“Darling, forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things.”

“I’ll let you go this one time.”

“Those days are over.”

“If it’s the last thing I do, I’ll get you for this!”

“Why are you so freakishly annoying?”

“You don’t know what it’s like to be rejected and treated like a criminal.”

“I promise, I will never try to be good again.”

“It’s “make your mamas proud” time!”

“I’m bad, and that’s good! I will never be good, and that’s not bad! There’s no one I’d rather be than me.”

“If you die outside of your own game, you don’t regenerate. EVER! Game over.”

“I don’t wanna be the bad guy anymore.”

“News flash: neither one of us is getting what we want!”

“I should thank you. But… it’d be more fun to kill you!”

“Look down there. Tell me what you see.”

“You win. Come on. I’ll take you home.”

“But remember this, Pigeon, a human heart has only so much room for love and affection.”

“Haven’t you a family?”

“Aw, come on, kid. Start building some memories.”

“I thought you were right behind me. Honest.”

“Just name your price, dear.”

“Come now, I’m being more than generous.”

“I’m not sleepy. I’m hungry.”

“Why, I wouldn’t stay here if you asked me to.”

“All this has happened before, and it will all happen again.”

“This time you’ve gone too far!”

“I came to listen to your stories.”

“We’ve so little time; we sail in the morning.”

“You mean more to me than anything in this whole world!”

“It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change.”

“I was just wondering if you could help me find my way.”

“You may have noticed that I’m not all there myself.”

“Well, when one’s lost, I suppose it’s good advice to stay where you are, until someone finds you.”

“If I listened earlier, I wouldn’t be here.”

“What do you know about this unfortunate affair?”

“All ways here are my ways!”

“In my world, the books would be nothing but pictures.”

“What’s the matter my dear, don’t you care for tea?”

“Ahoy, and other nautical expressions!”

“It’s not *entirely* hopeless.”

“You look as if you’re in some kind of trouble.”

“You’re a cheap fraud and impostor!”

“Now, you will remember to smile for the camera, won’t you?”

“I’m afraid that you’ve gone and upset me. You know what happens when someone upsets me.”

“You should have chosen your friends more carefully.”

“Isn’t it clear to you? The superior mind has triumphed! I’ve won!”

“I was just wonderin’, are we good guys or bad guys?”

“I knew it! I knew this would happen! I tried to warn you, but no, no, no, you wouldn’t listen. You just had to.”

“You don’t just walk up to a girl, hand her a bouquet and say, “Hey, remember me? We were kids together. Will you marry me?” No, it just isn’t done that way.”

“Why, someday, you’ll be called a great hero.”

“Wait a minute. There’s a law against robbing royalty. I’ll catch you later.”

“Of course you’ve been robbed!”

“Surely he must know how much I really love him.”

“Ah, stop worrying. This disguise will fool my own mother.”

“I was hiding under your porch because I love you. Can I come in?”

“That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.”

“I don’t want your help, I want you safe.”

“Won’t you please be my prisoner, please, please, please!”

“Why do I not have the surprised feeling?”

“Your mother can’t be with you anymore.”

“Don’t look back! Keep running! Keep running!”

“I have to do this and we are running out of time!”

“The ONLY way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.”

“You do not know how to have FUN. There. Somebody had to say it.”

“All my years. No one’s ever done anything like this for me.”

“You know, if you are going to let every little thing bother you, it is going to be a very long night!”

“So, we got ourselves a deal?”

“This is just a minor setback in a major operation!”

“I can’t believe that I’m doing this.”

She smiles a little bit at that, seemingly happy that she's 'found' how to get to Emilie. "Well, I've been looking for her for a few years now... My name's Kayla, we were roommates in college. We lost contact after we had a big fight about... Well I don't know how much she told you about college but we got mixed up in some pretty bad things around that time... I spent the better part of my twenties in a coma because of it... I've spent the last couple of years trying to find her..."

"I heard you were the one I need to speak to about finding an old friend of mine... Her name's Emilie. Sweet lil' redhead, piano player? Very smart, was going' after her doctorate in engineering last time I saw her... Did I hear right about how t' find her?"

     Little girls shouldn’t play alone.

     Seven years old, a dark haired little girl        is playing alone in the gnarled woods,        far from the watchful eyes of her        parents. Small hands digging into rich        soil in search of treasures. 

     Red stones that call to her from        beneath the ground, but falls silent        under the eyes of other. Stones that        shine like stars, and whispers secrets        to her in the night. Her beloved friends        and companions. Blood red stones,        that burn like fire. Fallen pieces of the        stars themselves, that fill her mind with        stories and unearth pieces of the still        developing heart. They nurture her        talents, encourage the spells her        parents have forbidden, and tell her        how special she is.

     A child whose eyes flicker red for a        fraction of a second the day her mother        attempts to crush the stones, blaming        them for the changes in her behavior.        Only for the child to find them hidden        beneath her pillow that night, glowing        bright with dark intentions.

She still can’t bring herself to move, but it seems the more pain she’s in, the more uneven the cuts become, the shakier they are. Teeth grit, she refuses to scream, she’s just staring at her. Locking eyes and refusing to look away, not daring to look down at the blood she can feel running down over pale skin despite her instincts to somehow stop the flow from the cuts, the worst of which felt like they were behind her ears. “What do you want from me? Why are you here, I have nothing to give you.”

     “Oh, dear, you’re asking the wrong        question--- What you really should        be asking, is what do you want from        me? I mean after all...” She leans in        close, lowering her voice as she        whispers in the girl’s ear with an        almost evil smile.

                    “---I’m not even really here.”

[cxllateraldxmage]

shadowsgavewaytolight:

She doesn’t see her move across the room, or even the knife being removed from the wall, but it’s very there, and present. She doesn’t have a hold on her, but with the edge of the knife touching her jaw, she can’t find the strength to pull away. Instead she just stares at her, teeth grit as the metal knicks skin. “Fuck you—  Just finish the damn job and get it over with.”

     “Oh, honey--- I intend to do just that.”        Another movement of the wrist, and        the knife is behind her ear, and        carving lightly into the skin, as it        traces down onto the jawline, over the        center of the throat, and down onto        her chest. There’s a short examination        of her work, before she clucks her        tongue.

     “No, I think we can do better than this.        Can’t we, dear? Let’s try again shall        we?” Another cut, starting from behind        the other ear, and tracing the opposite        path down to her chest. A bit more        jaggedly this time, a little bit deeper.

     “Isn’t that better? Now they look the same        ---mostly. More flicks of the wrist and the        knife is gliding across her stomach and        arms in quick movements. Shallow uneven        cuts, even shaky, unlike Kara’s usual        fashion of precision and methodic.

“Tough. I’m not budging. 50. 50 and I won’t spill on who you are.  And trust me, they will hire us. I have good communication and barter skills. Now, move that tiny ass of yours and get a job.”

     “I already have the job sweet cheeks. 45,        take it or leave it and be grateful I’m        offering you the pay grade I am. Going        rate around here is 30 for much worse jobs,        with even worse company. Do you honestly        believe that word’s not out yet? Ignatius        hired me because I am the best of the best,        and the horror stories that came out of        the raids... well it only makes me seem        that much better to this lot. There’s not        many that can cross a Becile and live to        tell the tale. His head is too far up his own        pompous ass to manage finding me again.        He didn’t even bother to do it himself the        first time. So we’ll try this again. 45 if you        manage to survive, and you’ll get a full half        on the next job if you still want in on the next.”

Melodia raises an eyebrow. “Really? No part in all? Like I believe that. You could have stopped it. You could have helped us, but no. You didn’t. So I have every right to be furious at you.” She glares at her. “Don’t call me dear. I don’t want you amends, as you’re clearly not apologetic.”

     “And what is one woman against an army?        Working alone I would’ve gotten myself        and probably several of you killed. Is this        really about an apology? Is that what you        want to hear? Fine then. I’m sorry.” For        being such an accomplished liar, those        words couldn’t come off as more insincere.
