002 ~ [Dream]

Warnings: Spoilers for the latest aaarc, but not really huge ones, unless you click the second link I guess. Ah, that link might be a little disturbing too.
Effects: Happiness and excitement at first, uneasiness, emotional pain (or something) and concern later.

[Filtered from one Elliot Nightray since the thread with Vanessa.]

It starts out dark, with just the melody of a song, silently, in the black. But soon, there’s a voice. Those who know Leo would recognise it as his.

”Elliot, this is for you. This is to show my gratitude for ’Statice’.”

A hand holding a piece of paper, dressed in a white sleeve shows up in the darkness, and quickly the light spreads to show Leo himself, and he’s holding out said paper towards Elliot. He’s smiling, and it’s a genuine smile, not just one he wears to tease or act. It’s always hard to tell since half of his face is always covered by glasses and hair, though, so you would only be able to truly tell if you really knew him.

Elliot is smiling as well, one of those rare soft smiles he occasionally wears.

”This song just came to my mind, like an inspiration. I hope you like it. The title is… ’Lacie’.”

The scene shifts, the song is still playing in the background as a forest takes shape. A forest outside of a school, more exactly; the Latowidge school. Oz is with them this time, wide-eyed and looking at the both of them pretty intently. And not to forget the hands clenching Elliot’s shoulders.

”Before we met, did you guys play a song together?” he asks, as if it’s of really big importance.

Elliot just looks rather confused.

”…huh? How did you know…?” is his response (how intelligent).

”Don’t ask! I… want to know about that song. The writer, the name… Whatever’s fine!”

Elliot huffs (”ha”), and pushes Oz’s hands off him. ”Pfft. I was wondering what you were trying to say.”

”Hey…”

”I wrote that song,” Elliot says, oh so clearly, his tone annoyed as he turns around to move on back to the school. But halts a few moments later, first, as he answers. ”The song’s name is… ’Lacie’.”

If you look closely, you would be able to see that Leo wears an expression that seems almost troubled, disappointed maybe (but not really), a bit sad. And he is troubled, because he wrote that, he did, but Elliot is utterly convinced it was him… And Leo can’t for the life of him understand why. But he does know how, and…

It hurts to hear Elliot be so convinced about something that’s not true, when he knows how. But he doesn’t say anything, just swallows as he follows after Elliot and Oz, tries to banish the memories of that thing, that thing that makes Elliot forget…

(But it flashes in his mind anyway, insistent, insistent to hurt, to wound, to stick a knife through his heart. As if it doesn’t already hurt enough.)

He’s not even sure where the pattern there lies, but it makes Elliot forget things and he can’t understand the reason for this one. It makes him uneasy, as if he’s missing something that he should know (yet he’s not sure he wants to know).

”You have a problem with that?!” Elliot adds to that for good measure, his sword resting on his right shoulder as he glances over the opposite one at Oz.

Leo tries to school his expression, pretends to look somewhere else. He’s still not saying anything, and he’s not going to either. He can’t say anything, just can’t. However small, anything Elliot forgets… he will not remind him.

Because he doesn’t dare.

[Even if there was even the slightest chance that she didn't believe it, she'd still have to side with her brother. There was no other choice.

Even seeing that thing again - the same one from Elliot's dream before...]


Now...clean yourself up. Don't appear before him in this current pathetic state of yours.

[And with that she clenches her fists at her sides and storms from the room.]

Ah... That's good.

[She fidgets a bit, blushing with embarrassment.]

I... was thinking of t-t-telling him how I feel. Properly, this time. That's okay... right?

Aaah! Um...! I-It's just that...! You two seem pretty close. I-I-I don't want to look like I'm... um... interfering with your friendship or something...

[Insecure Noel has very weird insecurities. It's obvious she hasn't done something like this before, and that she isn't very good with talking to people. So obvious that it can be physically painful to watch.]


I... I... I guess what I'm trying to say is... I really want to be friends with you too?

I'm not surprised your vapidity hasn't taken any notice of them.

Um... Ummmmmmm... Hmmm... [She pauses to think for a moment.] I... I don't know...?

[Ye...ah... Really 'special'. Then again, anyone would be if they only remembered the last five years of their life. Social skills what are those.]

W-W-Well, I... um... I guess that was a really silly thing for me to worry about! I think.

[She blinks, as if realizing something.]


... Ah! I'm terribly sorry! Here I am, just rambling and wasting your time when you could've gone back to sleep! I'm sorry...

[Nods softly and he looks thoughtful for a moment before he shakes his head at a passing thought. He'll leave that be for now. Now's not the time.

Instead focusing on a small smile as he pushes his negative thoughts aside]

It's a lot to think about so I can see why.

You know... I never thought you'd have so much on your mind. You hide it pretty well, I think~ [Yes, it's not much but he means it as a compliment, trying to brighten the situation a little]

[...yeah he really doesn't sound convinced. And she can tell.]

...I really don't believe Elliot is capable of doing something so hurtful...

[Even if he's that way with her sometimes, she really believes in him.]

[Perhaps that wasn't the wisest. Ada is more aware of context then people often give her credit for.]

But... someone is at fault...

[Just the way he said it made her feel like there was much more to it than he was letting on. From the dream itself it was hard to see how it could be anyone else's fault, however she didn't believe that Leo would lie to her. Perhaps hide things, but not lie.]

Are you so stupid that you can't even recognize them?

[identity profile] clonezart.livejournal.com 2011-06-01 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
There are plenty! Where shall I start? Ahh, yes. Your failure in music, your failure to speak up and correct that moron taking credit for your music... Oh, it's no wonder you don't want to own up to writing that piece.

[Oh. Oh no... Something here was terribly wrong. Leo didn't confirm what she said but the look on his face said it all.]

...something bad happened.

[It wasn't a question. Anything that could shake Leo this badly had to be... awful.]

[...for a moment she was almost creeped out by the odd expression. But she's more concerned than anything.]

That's not true!

[She feels a bit bad for raising her voice a little, but she has to.]

You and Elliot are...

[No, not friends really, but she considered them friends.]

...then if it's not Elliot's fault you mean it's yours.

[The feelings, the images... you put it all together and that was the most logical conclusion.

All why seeming completely illogical. How could it possibly be Leo's fault? But that's why she wants to know, even though it frightens her a little.]

[Try harder, Leo. That doesn't make Clonezart feel bad at all.]

What gave you that impression?
