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.]

And why would I spend my time doing that? You'll be gone by tomorrow.

Then why spend your time listening to me at all, if you're so eager to see me gone?

Keeping you out of trouble.

Because that's rather my burden to bear today, I imagine.

Rosella...

Can I help at all?

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, unless you can come up with a way to make a mirror stop reflecting, I'm afraid not. But it'll be all right, really. Midnight isn't so far off.

[There's a long pause, then...]

Hairspray.

It mattes the surface. Disrupts the reflection.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. And it--it doesn't ruin the mirror?

[identity profile] brbgonefishin.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
It washes off with rubbing alcohol on a rag. Takes a bit of elbow grease, but it will come off.

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2010-02-12 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep that in mind, then.

I've had to clean up after Seiji more than once.

Good luck.

Thank you. I do appreciate it.
