nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"




    The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?

    But it's there, along with the end of the week.

    Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.


    Well.

    Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.

    So what are you doing these next two days?

[Marona, what is your life.....]

I see. Then we can talk about something else.
oxidegreen: (12)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[The result of "let's take a woobie character and make her life even worse."]

...I'm sorry. I'm not very good at this.
dreamshielder: (making friends)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's alright. I don't think I am either.

This is the first time I've spent so much time around people my age, in all truth.
oxidegreen: (Looking ahead.)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, well...]

...Me, too.
dreamshielder: (serene)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
So we're learning together.

[That's a nice thought somehow.]
oxidegreen: (Watching you.)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
It seems that way.

[It's definitely a little odd, thinking that for once, she's not the only one in this circumstance. ]

...Have you learned very much?
dreamshielder: (pensive)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
I believe so.

[He furrows his brow slightly, contemplating.]

I didn't quite realize just how... open people could be.
oxidegreen: (Looking ahead.)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Tilting her head.]

...About themselves?
dreamshielder: (serene)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

No, I meant... [Hmmmm.] ... they're more carefree. Trust and make friends easily. Things of that nature. Don't you think so?
oxidegreen: (Watching you.)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah. She nods at that.]

That's true. I think... there are many warm people here.
dreamshielder: (contemplative)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I;m not used to that.

And what about you? WHat have you learned?
oxidegreen: (12)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She falls silent there for a moment before:]

I think that... my parents were right. Maybe.

I'm not sure yet.
dreamshielder: (thinking emoji)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
What did your parents say?
oxidegreen: (12)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
...

"One day... One day, people will understand your power and accept you."

[It sounds like a direct quote - no, something repeated, over and over, ingrained into one's memory so deeply it could never be lost.]
dreamshielder: (dead eyed indifference)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
....

[Ah.

Ah, yes. This was just the wake up call he needed, wasn't it? He doesn't really know what he was expecting to hear from Marona, but given how much was similar between them, he halfway expected something.,, kind, perhaps, but not the antithesis of his own parents.

His expression falters, gaze distant as he looks down at his pillow.
]

That must've been very nice to hear.
oxidegreen: (Watching you.)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
...They needed to give some kind of explanation to their child, I think. When everyone else in the world hated me before I could even understand why.

But my memories of them ended when I turned five. So that's why I don't have anything very happy to share with you.
dreamshielder: (looking down)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[[He takes a deep breath, expression clearing some into a more calculated neutral.]

I understand.

And for what it's worth, they were right. Even if this is an abysmal place to have found some truth.
oxidegreen: (12)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[...?]

...Well, it seems that way for now, at least.

[Part of her's still waiting for the other shoe to drop.]
dreamshielder: (listening intently)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't worry about that changing any time soon.

[They are, after all, stuck in a house where being able to see ghosties is pretty valuable.]
oxidegreen: (Looking ahead.)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Even if their understanding of my power doesn't change, their opinions could.

[She's speaking from experience.]
dreamshielder: (looking down)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
That's something you actually have control over.

[Being born with powers considered shitty? Not exactly something you can do anything about.]
oxidegreen: (12)

[personal profile] oxidegreen 2020-04-26 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
To a certain extent.

[People are very good at deciding on scapegoats, though.]
dreamshielder: (pensive)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
If you're looking for people who will never turn on you, never change their opinion of you based on your actions, then you're going to be looking for a very long time.
dreamshielder: (contemplative)

[personal profile] dreamshielder 2020-04-26 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[And here he'll go quiet, unless Marona has anything else to say.]

(no subject)
