Twelfth Entry [VIDEO]

[Raphael is smiling, but it's obviously very fake.]

I'm grateful that I've had such a nice life...

[His smile falters and his lip trembles as a large tear makes its way down his cheek.]

I...

[He drops the communicator and holds his hands to his head.]

Master Blue!! Why-- how could you do something this cruel?! The King has trusted you to take care of this child, not kill her! She is sick, and if you continue to have her work so hard she will most certainly die! I know we have no money, but if you must work someone to death, sir, have it be me!!!

[The communicator rolls onto its side, and you can see Raphael's feet amidst a crowd of scales. He's standing outside, in the street. It's a four-way intersection, and Raphael's standing in the very middle. On each of the four streets, reaching outward, are rows and rows of ofudas.]

[He sucks in his breath, his eyes looking elsewhere. He stands up tall, like he's speaking to someone else.]

Your Majesty, I must disagree with this. She is only a child, and despite her desire to join the human world... is this man really worthy? He's a human. I know you trust them, but I have my reservations. She is delicate, with a very low constitution! If she were to get sick, my lord... yes, yes I understand.

[He whirls around and points an accusing finger.] Master Blue!! I can't contain it anymore! If she dies because of your negligence, I will make sure that the Elemental Gods are aware of it! Yes you will lose some money if you watch her, but what's more important in this world?! Can't you comprehend the importance of this child...?!

Master... Blue!!

[Raphael sinks to his knees, practically tearing at his hair.]

Why don't any of you understand what you are doing...?! Raising a child isn't a game!!

[OOC: Raphael will respond to all other tags once he's finished with the OS. He'll be in more of a state to talk, then. <3]
