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.]

...Rosella?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Hello, Rue.

It's a rather unpleasant curse today, isn't it?

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

It'll end soon.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Not soon enough, for my liking.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

...I know.

[stillthequeen.livejournal.com]

My my, it seems everyone is having problems with their reflection.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh? Or perhaps it's the reflections that are having problems with them.

[stillthequeen.livejournal.com]

Is that so? Well, I suppose such a thing would make sense if you were the original...

But are you?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Of course I am. We're the same, after all.

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Rosella, what the heck is going on?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Sam, help, she won't let me out. You'll save me, won't you, Sam? Won't you? Please?

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

... Rosella?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Don't listen to her, Sam. She's been bothering me from inside the mirror all day.

[mumbled_truth]

Roesalla?

Are you okay?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Todd. You'll save me, won't you? Tell her to let me out.

asddsadsa what is that epic fail typing even /sobs forever

[mumbled_truth]

I, um... I don't think she's going to. Or that she should.

i was kinda wondering if you'd catch it before i got to it =DDD

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

But it's not fair. Why does she get to be out and I don't?

[had_not_lived]

Good. Don't listen to it.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Just ignore her if she talks to you, won't you, Neil? I've been trying to keep her from it, but she keeps managing to find ways of getting around me.

[had_not_lived]

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?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

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.

[brbgonefishin.livejournal.com]

Rosella? It's a curse.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It certainly is, being trapped like this.

[brbgonefishin.livejournal.com]

Not the Rosella I was looking for.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Why does everyone want to talk to her today? It's not fair!
