Memory 003 || Accidental Video | Chasing forgotten dreams

[busagi]

[....It's always the same. Just like in my dreams...I'm always chasing after him. Why doesn't he stop? Even though he's so close to me, I can never get close enough to touch him. To see his face. ]

Where are you going!?

[The SFC bounces up and down attached to a string around Alice's neck. Random blurry images of buildings, the outdoors, red material

[this curse is going too far... and just when a good day is approaching, too. just when everyone is supposed to smile together...

but there's no point of damning the place. he had to do his best.]

Alice...

[busagi]

[Alice sat motionless with her face in her hands. She didn't want to open her eyes and see the man she had been longing for so long, taunting her from afar. The worst was probably the smile he kept plastered on his face the entire time. The one thing visible upon his face beneath his long golden locks. He was smiling at her. Calling to her. But he wouldn't stay close enough for her to reach. It just wasn't fair!

Red's familiar voice was quiet, but she heard it beckon for her. It took her a moment to place whose voice it was. There were so many long-familiar voices in her head that she couldn't place. She couldn't remember who they belonged to. Finally she grasped the SFC and held it up so that she could actually match a face to the lingering voice that emitted from the device. She then responded in a miserable voice, choking on her tears.]

...Red...?

[pristinestar]

Hey, come on now... Don't cry. [he felt pained just to watch that tear-filled expression. he hid away his trembling hands and just smiled out gently. he's seen enough people in just one day crying.]

Where are you? Can I come over?

[busagi]

I...I-I'm... [Where exactly was she? She didn't really know. She had been futilely chasing that apparition from her past. She was so intent on catching him that she didn't pay attention to where he had lead her.]

U-Um I don't know, I- [She stopped short glancing around her. Houses. Lots of them. Most likely the Lower district. She wiped her eyes and squinted at a sign not too far off in the distance.]

Olie Street...

[Action]

[alicepossessed]

[Well, he and his father's ghost have been on icy terms, since they both are ignoring each other. Young Gil's ghost is tagging along, spouting worried nonsense, and little Ada is right beside him. Oz is surprised to see Alice like this, and approaches cautiously.]

Alice...? Are you alright?

[Angsty Action*]

[busagi]

[Alice sat there on the cold cobblestone, as lifeless as she was motionless. Until she hears Oz's voice and glances over to where he's standing and for a moment, she sees Jack instead of Oz. Which immediately triggers her emotions to go haywire.]

Why!? Why are you doing this!? It's not fair! Just go away and leave me be!!! [After exploding at poor Oz she then proceeds to screw her eyes shut tight and places her hands on either side of her head in an attempt to block the sound... the voices.]

[Forever~]

[alicepossessed]

[He's shocked, and a little hurt, but he doesn't go away. Instead, Oz steps forward, closer to her, and kneels down beside her. He places a hand gently on her shoulder.]

I'm not leaving you. What happened?

|D

[busagi]

[Alice starts to shrink away from his touch-- But... wait, what's that? He's touching her. She can feel the warmth spreading across the small section of her shoulder. She slowly blinks open her eyes looking ahead to a face she recognized all too well, despite it's partially hidden features behind the mask]

Oz...?
