[Voice/Action]

[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.

Then you were affected as well?

Huh? Are you talking about what happened a little while ago..?

[Voice]

[identity profile] unseenspy.livejournal.com 2011-10-09 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly seemed that way. Could we just...pretend that never happened?

[voice]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-09 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately... but many of us are rarely spared.

Yes, I'm referring to... the latest experiment.

[Voice]

[He doesn't even have to think of an answer to that one.]

I would be more than willing to forget the events of the past week.

[voice]

[identity profile] pepepepen.livejournal.com 2011-10-09 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought as much. How troublesome.

[She's quiet for a moment, and then asks:]

How often do those happen here, if you know the answer to that?

[voice]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-10 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[That tells Vincent this must be a New Feather, probably the most recent cycle.]

It's a regular occurrence... typically every month. Even knowing this, we can do nothing to prevent their effects.

...What would be close at this time of the year? [Yuri doubts he's talking about the onset of autumn.]
happyends: (going through this city)

That one was about stories, wasn't it.. I was lucky enough to not get caught up in one, but one of my friends did. Luckily she's okay though..

[ She giggles, even if there's something nervous about it. ]

I don't think many people got hurt, so it's a good thing.

[ voice ]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
No stories I personally know, but... there was a sense of familiarity to them.

[Since he's familiar enough with stories that have similar tropes, even if not the exact same ones.]

It's rare to have an experiment cause so little harm. Perhaps that was fortunate.

[Voice]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
A date which no longer holds meaning.

[Yes, it's not just about the autumn. It's about Vincent having far too much else in mind, as always.]
doubleppk: (I'm listening?)

[personal profile] doubleppk 2011-10-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Why away? Or perhaps, "Why this time of year" as opposed to any other time in Luceti. At least it's not February.

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
No... it's nothing to do with the weather. It's simply... a time I would prefer solitude.

[Though honestly, there are many such days on Vincent's Calendar of Angst.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] hear-thanatos.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
...If it didn't, you wouldn't speak of it.

[personal profile] doubleppk 2011-10-11 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
I meant Halloween as opposed to Valentine's Day. Unless it's not about holidays either.

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Right... That's toward the end of the month. I would take the nightmares of Halloween over the ...perils... of that other day.

[He still can't bring himself to think about that holiday too much. It's like the universe played a horribly twisted joke, making it share his name. Good thing that's not anytime soon though.]

It's about neither of those.

[Voice]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
[A wise enough assessment.]

Perhaps I'm still determining what it should mean now.

[It's only been a few years he's been... conscious, altered as he is.]
doubleppk: (Feeling a little blue)

[personal profile] doubleppk 2011-10-11 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Just something about Autumn that always gets you down hun?

Re: [Voice]

[identity profile] hear-thanatos.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
...Is it so crucial a matter?

[Voice]

[identity profile] unseenspy.livejournal.com 2011-10-11 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good that we can agree with each other on a lot of things here...

[Voice]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
...and there's no end to those things. I doubt there ever will be.

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's complicated, but... you could put it that way.

[Voice]

[identity profile] chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Typically not... but it's still hard to ignore at times.

[Voice]

[identity profile] unseenspy.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. Yet another thing we agree on.

And there's that holiday still coming up as well. Oh bother...

[Yet more terrifying things are going to happen to them.]
