Array 066 [Voice/Video]

Mar 15, 2009 15:00

[The PCD is on a desk or table in a dark room. No one is in the feed. White sheets cover the dim shapes of furniture in the darkness, looking like ghosts. Someone coughs softly, and a slim, slight figure walks across the feed, just a ruffle of shadow, and disappears down a hall. Oddly, the figure is utterly silent ( Read more... )

spring cleaning, ghosts, whimsical in the brainpan, *event: villains, freak me out

[Maes suddenly shakes himself out, finally feeling sensation returning to his body. He thinks he hears a voice.]

H-hello?

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 16 2009, 00:28:48 UTC

[Al glances over his shoulder, and beams suddenly, calling out from the other room.]

Maes?!

[Video] brig_gen_maes March 16 2009, 00:30:50 UTC

[Maes straightens, stretching a bit and following Al's voice.]

Al. Thank you. That was... disconcerting.

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 16 2009, 00:33:07 UTC

[Al comes to the doorway, setting a hand on the old, stained wood with a half-smile.]

I wasn't going to leave you out in the cold.

[Video] brig_gen_maes March 16 2009, 00:38:03 UTC

[i>[Maes smiles back, leaning on a wall.]

Yes, but I was trying to come to your help when I wound up instead causing you more work. That's not exactly according to plan.

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 16 2009, 00:45:11 UTC

[Al just chuckles. He's about to say something, and quickly looks over his shoulder, pausing for a moment before he turns back to Maes, resuming his smile.]

It's fine! It was a quiet few days.

[Video] brig_gen_maes March 16 2009, 01:19:58 UTC

[Maes snickers, and then puts on a fake affronted look.]

Are you calling me loud? I'm only loud because Elysia deserves a loud and proud Daddy!

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 16 2009, 01:30:55 UTC

[Al can't help but laugh at that. Maes always manages to get him to smile until his face hurts.]

That's not what I meant! Really! It was just me and... me. And Ed sometimes.

[Video] brig_gen_maes March 16 2009, 01:53:10 UTC

[Maes grins, triumphant. He liked getting smiles out of people who weren't feeling so happy.]

I know what everyone says when I leave the room. Because I sneak back in! And Armstrong gushes in sympathy.

[Tilting his head, Maes studies Al's face for a moment.]

Is something bothering you, Al? Just you and..?

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 16 2009, 01:57:00 UTC

[... and Al was the kid who liked to smile even when he wasn't feeling so happy. He chuckles, then reaches up, rubbing the back of his neck and shrugging his shoulders.]

Just me and... I don't even know.

[His mouth twists.]

...

Do you believe in... ghosts?

[Video] brig_gen_maes March 16 2009, 02:12:02 UTC

[Maes' eyes get a little sad but the smile stays strong. He's good at that.]

I don't know. I haven't ever seen one, or seen evidence of one, but I've heard stories.

I suppose... Nina and I. And your mother. We're technically ghosts, aren't we? And possibly you and Ed, from what you boys have said. We've all died.

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 16 2009, 02:14:15 UTC

[Al leans his back against the doorway. He's... getting good at that too.]

... maybe we're all ghosts here.

[He pauses, shaking his head to clear it.]

I wonder if someone who already was a ghost can come here.

[Video] brig_gen_maes March 16 2009, 02:31:18 UTC

[Maes nods, thinking.]

Maybe we are. It wouldn't be the first time someone has suggested it. The first issue with that theory is that people leave and come back from a point farther in time in their own world.

And I don't know. A ghost in another world, come to this world as a ghost?

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 16 2009, 13:01:30 UTC

Maybe. Maybe.

Well... it's possible, isn't it? If we come when we're alive, if there is a spark of life after death -- we know the soul exists, and if that persists without moving on, it's only logical there would be something like a ghost, right...?

I don't know. I'm just speculating.

But... I think there's something in this house.

[Video] brig_gen_maes March 16 2009, 14:02:13 UTC

[Maes templed his fingers, thinking for a moment.]

Frankly, Al, in this world, just about anything is possible. And I don't like to dismiss ideas out of hand.

Is there a choice to moving on, though?

[Maes glances around, a little amused at the thought.]

It can't hurt to check it out. What evidence do you have?

[Video] bloodseal_soul March 17 2009, 01:40:40 UTC

I wonder.

[Al grins. He'd asked Maes because he knew the man couldn't resist an investigation. He pulls the PCD from his pocket, and points out the feed catching the shadow, and the shuffling noise.]

I have no idea what it is. I don't know if it's dangerous or not, but it doesn't really feel like that.
