[Vincent is off in a forested area not far from town. He's seated under a tree, thinking and watching leaves fall.]

Yet another alternate reality... but something about this was different from others. As if we were living out a set story, each time...

[It's not as if they have the exact same fairytales on his world, after all, but there had been a strange way to how the week's events had unfolded that it was noticeable. He wonders about it, vaguely, and about the parallel to the one he'd lived through and how it fit into his own background. There's also plenty of other things on his mind, the typical human vs monster divide, and the love issues... but he won't bring any of those up on here.]

[He takes a red leaf in hand as it falls and stares at it.]


...the time of year... it's close. Perhaps it's best if I spend it away.

[A small silence. He'd expected this much from the thread of conversation, but for someone to be 'frozen in time'...?] You seem to be bearing it well. What exactly ails you?

Right, well it's like lab tests. You have to have controls and specific factors as eliminated as possible. If we could thwart them, it would twist the outcome of the study.

It's unfortunate that we cannot render their findings useless.

It's better if I'm alone...

[That earns him a concerned look.] But then you'll be lonely.

[Well, why not, it's easier somehow to speak of these things into the journal than to people in person.]

That no matter how much time passes... I will remain as I am. I was... reminded of it today...

[Action]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mind it.

[But there is a very subtle glance away as there's some part of him that wonders what it would be like were things... otherwise.]

An experiment that had profoundly disturbing effects upon us.
lostinmyway: (Troubled.)

Are you sure? [That doesn't sound right at all.]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-23 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Good luck getting Vincent to admit anything.]

As sure as I can be...
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

[She still isn't convinced. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this problem.]

I'll go with you. Then you won't be lonely.

[Yes, she's offering this after having known you for two minutes, Vincent.]

Um.. I'm not sure I get exactly what it means, but it sounds pretty scary..

Y-you're alright now though, right, sir?

Nearly a year has passed since those events. You could say that I am.

[That earns a look from Vincent.]

Why would you offer such a thing?

[Voice]

[identity profile] hear-thanatos.livejournal.com 2011-10-24 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That is not necessarily a burden.

Unless, of course, you're... unhappy?
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-10-24 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles back.]

Because no one should have to be alone. And if we spend time together, we'll get to know each other and become friends.
happyends: (and with my usual smile)

W.. well, of course a year would have passed if it was last Halloween, huh..

[ She giggles somewhat awkwardkly. ]

I'm glad you made it through okay though. It would be sad if people here got hurt.

Everyone has their share of sorrow.

If they were harmed, they've since recovered... and now, we must prepare to face what may come this time.

[Even if he's not usually one to rush out and be involved in such things, he knows when the time comes that action is necessary.]

[Sounds like some people he knows. As always, Vincent just has no idea why anyone should want to socialize with him.]

...You would want that?
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[Action]

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2011-10-25 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. [She gives him a confused look.] Why wouldn't I?

[Voice]

Not all have burdens that can't be shouldered.

Maybe we can! We could create the Shift pact! Every Shift we face, we have to try to figure out what their objective is and skew their results...

Oh but... then they would just do it all over again rather than give up. And 2 of the same shifts in a row would be really boring.

... Hmm, I know. I'll be on my guard for whatever is coming too, and I'm sure Homura-chan is the same! A-and if she isn't, I'll just try to help her out..

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-29 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Because... we just met.
