Moments of Weakness [Voice post, Locked from Larsa, Vayne]

Apr 30, 2009 21:24

Penelo sounds exhausted, her voice is tinged with the aftereffects of crying, and she's pausing often between her words.

I...oh god, I can't believe I talked to Vayne. I thought I was going to freak out the whole time...It was all I could do not to run away, and he wasn't even really here.

He made me so angry I was seeing red, I don't think I've Ever ( Read more... )

Hey. Calm down. You talk to--who?

Vayne! I...uh...Vayne Solidor. He is...he was Larsa's older brother. He was a monster, he poisoned his own father, he orchestrated the deaths of thousands of people, including my parents and my best friends brother.

He almost brought our entire continent to war, but, he's dead. We...we killed him. I helped, I saw him die.

But...he's here. From...before, somehow. After he did some terrible things, before he did others, god...I don't know.

(( OOC: Totally not calmed down yet. :P ))

He's a Monster. He...

I...yeah, alright. I will, uhm...I will be right back.

There would be the sound of footsteps as Penelo moves off into the bowls of the ship for a few minutes, returning with a glass of water. She can be heard just sitting near the computer for a few minutes.

I...I'm back, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to panic like that, it's just...

Okay. Little better?

Just what? I don't know much about your world, except what Larsa has told me himself.

I...yes, a little bit. Thank you. she sounds a little better, a bit less on the edge of tears.

There is a pause before she answers the second question.

It's just that...I was there when we stopped him. I saw him die, I helped Kill him. I don't...I didn't...oh, how do i put this. I'm not as good with words as Larsa or Balthier or all them...

Good.

Didn't...expect to see him here (or alive again, for that matter)? This place is...scary like that.

It isn't even that. Someone told me he...I didn't believe them, not till I saw, but...

When he died. When we killed...I was happy. I've never been happy seeing anyone suffer, but I was happy that monster was dead.

It's...a weird sort of guilt, now, I guess...I don't know.

Well, since I don't know him, I wasn't there, so I can't really pretend to get it.

I do get being happy that a monster is dead. I wanted to throw a party when they told me Megatron had been killed.

Well, you will have to trust me. He was a monster.

But...I feel guilty about it. Him being dead made Larsa so sad, but I was happy. And we Killed him.

That doesn't seem like something I should have celebrated, but...

He was Larsa's brother, right?

What would have happened if you hadn't killed him?

dancingonthesky May 1 2009, 16:04:03 UTC
Yes. Larsa had three, but...Vayne killed the other two during a...something, a civil war? I have never asked him about it. Then we killed Vayne...

Uhm.

If we hadn't, he would have killed us. I think he even would have killed Larsa... Then, I guess he would have destroyed the city with that Bahamut airship, and then gone to war with Rozaria...

Oh, wow. I didn't know that.

Sounds like you did the right thing, then.

He...does not talk about it. He does not talk about any of his emotions, really, and I've always been too nervous to ask.

It was...necessary. He had to be stopped, he had to be punished, but, I...

I don't know. I just think I probably should not have been so happy about it. Not when it hurt Larsa so badly...

I can understand why he wouldn't talk about it.

I don't really think it's wrong for you to be happy about it. If it was necessary and all...that's a hard situation.

Yes. I don't know.

She can be heard sighing.

The worst part is I can't really Tell anyone, you know? Not here. Vaan, my partner, he lost his brother in the war. And Larsa...well, that's obvious.

And none of the others would even believe me if I tried, I think.
