Twenty-Eighth Drop: on the other side (videopost)

Feb 09, 2010 16:12

(Sorrow looks...different, today. His hair is short and styled over to one side; his clothes are civilian and distinctly 50's American, and he isn't wearing his gun. He doesn't look sad or rueful or even pleased at all -- instead, his expression is surprisingly neutral. Cavalier. As if nothing had ever happened, to give him the face he usually wore ( Read more... )

What the hell are you saying...?! Defecting to America?!

oh man I knew Raikov would react XD spiritofsorrow February 9 2010, 21:57:47 UTC

Did you see what Stalin did for us? Killing so many people? And I was never treated normally there, not after they saw what abilities I had.

Besides, Joy lives there. Why shouldn't I go?

Sometimes death is necessary. Not everything Stalin did was bad, you know.

hidesinrestroom February 9 2010, 22:43:29 UTC

... But you told me before that you died. How exactly is this plan of yours going to work?

[Sounding highly amused.]

Enjoy yourself, Peter.

(A little confused.)

I will, of course.

(The screen flickers; cut to the fog, where a staticky image of Sorrow sits perfectly still, staring over his chalkboard, that reads, "..."

[Speaking to this image of Sorrow now, even though she doesn't expect an answer from it.]

Isn't it ironic? You sound more human now and less like a failed attempt of a saint. More human and uninteresting.

Re: [voice] spiritofsorrow February 10 2010, 02:46:57 UTC

[The image flickers in, grainy and staticky, and Sorrow holds up the board: "I never pretended to be a saint."]

Ah. A man taking matters into his own hands. Sounds like a decent plan. I don't see why you shou...ldn't...?

[This is when he notices the chalkboard and pauses.]

[video] (Sorrow does not approve of that username :P) spiritofsorrow February 10 2010, 05:30:05 UTC

[The chalkboard is empty, but Sorrow's staticky image is watching him in quick snatches of video feed.]

Those who live in my country may not think it the best idea, because the nation in which I would consider living is not on the best of terms with us.

[video] (Butbutbut everyone is whacking something! =; ;=!!) whackaspirit February 10 2010, 05:51:21 UTC

[Have a curious face looking back at you before he realizes it's on video.]

Oh. [He cleared his throat. Maybe he was seeing things...] I see. Indeed, then that must be difficult... [He sees the flicker and pauses again.] My apologizes, sir. I might be mistaken but, is there someone behind you?

[video] spiritofsorrow February 10 2010, 15:46:16 UTC

Behind me?

(He turns. Nothing there. A small flicker, and he peers back at the video screen. A burst of static, and the spirit is there again, board in hand, with the word "Yes" written on it. When it cuts back to the standard feed, Sorrow looks confused.)

...Ah, right, apparently so. Someone who seems to look like me. Let him do so. He is...over there, and I am over here. Ignore him.
