Quest 164

[Accidental Voice Post]

[The audio begins with a moment of silence, and then, barely audible, a conversation can be heard between two distinct voices. Though they are nearly identical in most respects, one has a dark edge to it, and chants with a singsonging lilt in its tone. The other sounds both weary and frustrated, as though she has been listening to the first voice all day--which, coincidentally, she has.]

Mirror, mirror, on the wall...
Who's the fairest one of all?


Be quiet. I won't listen to you. You're only a curse, whatever you are, and you'll be gone at midnight. I know what you're after, and it's not going to work. I won't.

Come and have a look at me.
Don't you want to set me free~?


No, I don't. I don't know what's brought you here or put you in there, but the last thing I want is to get anywhere near you, much less let you out. And if I didn't like that mirror so much, I would've smashed you long before now, you know.

You wouldn't. You need me.

I most certainly do not.

You're alive because of me.

Be quiet. I don't want to hear it. Just leave me alone.

Daddy is, too. He's alive because of me. Because of what I did for us.

Be. Quiet.

What's the matter? Don't you think our friends will like me as much as you?

Stop it!

Or maybe you think they'll like me better than you...

I said stop! That's enough!

[Silence. And then, a moment later--]

...I'm not listening to you anymore.

[And with a click, the feed ends.]


[OOC: So what is Rosella's darker side? Well, it's herself, essentially--but with a twist. Mirror!sella is the part of Rosella that has the capacity to murder, but without all the rationalizations that normally come with it. She's also got all those traits that Rosella's really not proud of in herself--jealousy, vanity, selfishness, and all that good stuff. So! Normal text is Rosella herself, bold and italics (and possibly an icon, if I get the chance to make one up) is Mirror!sella, but she'll mostly be running commentary in the background.]

He certainly leaves quite an impression, hm?

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-10 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That's, er, one way of putting it, yes.

Rosella? It's a curse.

[identity profile] princess-crow.livejournal.com 2010-02-10 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...I know.
mumbled_truth: (His hands reach out and choke me)

oops i fell down

[personal profile] mumbled_truth 2010-02-10 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well -- but you're not. I mean, not really.

[personal profile] had_not_lived 2010-02-10 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it, I know better than to take any of the nonsense that comes up during curses too seriously.

Are you okay?

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Are you all right?

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly is, being trapped like this.

nooooooooooooo /dives for you

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
But I am. She just hides it very well. Until she needs me.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...well, I'm managing. I can't go near the mirror today, or anything that's reflecting. I don't know what'll happen if I get too close to her, but it won't be anything good.
mumbled_truth: (Always leaves your feet cold)

i am saved! /loves

[personal profile] mumbled_truth 2010-02-11 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
If you are, though, you're only part of her.

and in slow-motion!

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm not good enough, is that it? You'd rather I just lived in her shadow?
mumbled_truth: (Default)

with sound effects?

[personal profile] mumbled_truth 2010-02-11 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
But... you're not supposed to be a separate person.

you know it!

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I am today. Don't you like me better this way, Todd?

[identity profile] princess-crow.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I broke all the mirrors in my room and tossed the shards away. I will be.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I should've broken mine, but I like it too much to smash it over a curse. Even if it would keep her away a little better, if I did so.
mumbled_truth: (Default)

my hero <3

[personal profile] mumbled_truth 2010-02-11 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
No. I don't.

Rosella is one of my best friends, and you're upsetting her. Why would I like that better?

just doing my job, ma'am. /poses

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Because I'm better! It's not fair! Make her let me out!
had_not_lived: (Default)

[personal profile] had_not_lived 2010-02-11 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno what either, I've been hearing some weird stuff on the network so you're probably right.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you make me sound so nefarious. I just want to be let out, that's all.

[identity profile] princess-crow.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
It would have found a way out unless I made them vanish. Being overly clever with the taunting was its mistake.
had_not_lived: (☞ Did he smile; his work to see)

[personal profile] had_not_lived 2010-02-11 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
And I bet you'd do nothing but cause trouble if you did.
mumbled_truth: (Default)

XDDDD

[personal profile] mumbled_truth 2010-02-11 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think she would. I mean, even if I did tell her to.

[identity profile] brbgonefishin.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Not the Rosella I was looking for.

[identity profile] not-so-smooth.livejournal.com 2010-02-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I won’t, I promise.
