Illusion LVVIII {Video//offline}

[supermistfrog]

[The first thing the feed shows is a clear, beautiful blue sky, absolutely no gray clouds or ash in sight. The sunshine is blindingly bright, especially since it seems to be reflected off of water.]

[Said water hits the camera, and the PCD falls to show a rather pretty coastline, once again without even a suggestion of what happened the past week.

[Blink blink. That's pretty impressive magic, even if it's illusion magic.]

Fran? Did you make that? [Because she's pretty sure nowhere here looks like that right now.]

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

No, the fire and ash just went away because I'm lucky.

[Sarcasm.]

[He doesn't even look at the camera, instead just floating along and staring at the sky.]

[Video]

[buntails]

[She doesn't entirely understand the significance, immediately, so-]

It looks very pretty. [But there's a questioning tone, as though inviting Fran to say more.]

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

I didn't want to make something ugly. There's enough of that.

[It's short and clipped.]

[eightshoutpoles]

Ashtringendum! Hahaha. That's kind of good!

[coming to check out that beach whaaaat]

[supermistfrog]

I'm surprised no one else thought of it. That stupid stuff is everywhere.

[eightshoutpoles]

A lot of people are too busy crying over it.

[supermistfrog]

Weren't you one of the people complaining about your house getting burned down too?

[Float. Float.]

[verlorenscasket]

Coordinates please Fran.

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

...

Near the lake.

[He can't quite reach his PCD right now.]

[He doesn't even say anything he just leaves to go find Fran. When he gets there he just stands above the guy for a little bit, looking down at him and effectively blocking his sunlight.]

One of these days I think you just might learn how to ask for help like a normal person. You look like crap Fran.

[supermistfrog]

[He doesn't move from he's position, still belly up and looking up at where the sky would be- which just happens to be Frau.]

I don't need help. Everyone else is more insane than me anyway.

[feel_nevermore]

Chilling out, Fran?

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

I guess you could call it that.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

It seems that you do need some rest. Your sense of humor is getting worse.

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

If I sleep, I'm guessing that with my bad luck more monsters will come to kill me or something like that.

...

I thought it was clever.

[Juliet smiles at the scene, and at him.]

That is beautiful, Fran. You have made a lovely mirage.

[Her face falls slightly at the pun.]

It will get better. We shall make it better. Perhaps not as pretty as your mirage, but something good nonetheless.

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

I didn't want to make an ugly one.

[He sighs, only reminded once again of that failure of an expedition when she says they can fix it.]

Do you want false hope or the truth?

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

[She grins a moment at that.]

Naturally you would not. You wish to create things that are good.

[And then her expression turns serious.]

Truth. I have not shied from such a thing before.

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

....

You can't really work to make it better, since it was doomed from the start. This place is entirely random.

[In a moment, that errant program or the animus could destroy everything, as they have.]
