[ Week 19, Day 3 | Accidental Video ]

Feb 21, 2011 01:37

[ There's something wrong about this image, when it turns on -- or rather, is knocked on, knocked over to be a little more specific. Peter's eyes, which are usually brown, have turned a milky white, and his attention is directed at a painting -- it appears he seems to have knocked on his Hitomi while he was reaching for more paint. His arm moves ( Read more... )

[Um. Woah. Okay, that doesn't look so good. Not the art, that looks amazing, but what is actually in the painting makes Dre feel just a bit uneasy.

It has to be someone else right? He's never even met this guy so there's no way he would be in his painting.

So it has to be...you know...some other kid with cornrows and a white kung fu shirt. Because there are just so many of those running around in Kannagara. Or not.

Okay. But seriously there is just NO WAY he could be in that painting right? So it just has to be some weird scary coincidence but a COINCIDENCE. He is pretty sure he hasn't pissed anyone off enough to paint pictures of him dead. He's just a kid, right?

Nervously he sends a video]

Um, have we met?

[Please tell me you know someone who looks like me back where you came from]

[Video] ad_salvatio February 23 2011, 14:44:26 UTC

[ Oh shit. That's the kid in the painting. The dead looking kid in the painting. This is not good. This is really not good. The last time Peter painted something like this, it came true. And Isaac painted something not too long ago and that came true too. So this -- this better not come true. He hopes that making Claire stay at home will somehow prevent this from happening. ]

You're--

[ A breath. ]

You're the kid in my painting.

[ Which means, no, we haven't met. Peter's features are awash with conflict and worry. ]

[His head's reeling, it really is. That accidental video, Peter painting Dre looking like that, Dre obviously not knowing him or what's going on...

It's a confusing rush and Allen just looking tense, jaw set firmly, and cleanly jumps in the middle to stop this or bothering the child with images of him like that.

But something is wrong. Something is obviously wrong.]

What do you think you're doing? Why-

[A gritting of teeth, obviously emotional and upset but wanting to understand.]

Why did you paint Dre like that?

[Video | private] ad_salvatio February 24 2011, 03:15:54 UTC

I don't -- I don't know. It just sort of happened.

[ This is true, Peter didn't ask to paint Dre (was that the kid's name), or Claire being accosted by strange cloaked men and covered in blood. He had only just picked up a paintbrush to make a few sketches (painting really) of ideas he had for their cafe and the next thing he knew he was looking at that. ]

The last time I painted something like this, it... it actually happened. But this can't happen -- I mean, I think I stopped it. I found Claire!

[Video | private] whitenighting February 24 2011, 03:23:43 UTC

[Hesitant.] Claire? You mean the girl... from the painting?

[He pauses, a little worried still, but calmer.]

Then.. you can paint possible futures, too?

[Video | private] ad_salvatio February 24 2011, 03:26:02 UTC

Yeah, something like that... I didn't really mean to do it though. I picked up a paintbrush to put down some ideas for the cafe me and Yamamoto and Gokudera are working on opening, and the next thing I knew, I was looking at this painting... Normally my art skills aren't better than ... [ A wry chuckle, almost. ] ...stick figures, really.

And yeah, Claire's the girl from the painting. We knew each other from before she came here... She's practically like family to me.

[Video | private] whitenighting February 24 2011, 03:28:34 UTC

[Allen relaxes a little, smiling if... still a little worried.]

Dre is like family to me as well, although we didn't know each other before here.

[A pause, and someone who knows what it's like to be guilted and gnawed at by responsibility would probably recognize his tone.]

You don't... these things don't always come true though, do they?

[Video | private] ad_salvatio February 24 2011, 03:40:49 UTC

I don't know.

[ See that's the thing, there is just too much that Peter doesn't know. ]

This guy I know from my world, Isaac -- he has the same power as me. Apparently he's been doing this a lot longer than me. Painting the future, I mean. He's coming over, so I'll ask him when he gets here.

[Video | private] whitenighting February 24 2011, 11:19:09 UTC

[He really, really hopes not. Needs to believe it's not.]

Alright. I'd...

[He generally tries not to let his worries show, but it's pretty clear anyway.]

Would you let me know?

[And in the meantime he'll try to keep Dre safe and away from anything like that as well.]

[Video | private] ad_salvatio March 5 2011, 04:13:51 UTC

[ A little while later ]

Hey, Allen... Listen, I've stopped the future before. I think I can do it again.

Re: [Video] need_some_shui February 24 2011, 10:37:14 UTC

Aw man...I really wish you hadn't said that [He grumbles, rubbing at his head]

So, I take it we really haven't met...and that painting is just sorta freaky? Okay...really freaky?

[Video] ad_salvatio March 5 2011, 04:15:35 UTC

[ Crap. What the hell does he say to a little kid about a painting like that? ]

Really freaky's a good way of putting it. I'm sorry you had to see that. It must just be a weird coincidence.

[ Yeah, Peter doesn't like lying to kids, but... ]

[Video | Private] whitenighting February 24 2011, 10:21:45 UTC

It's not real, Dre.

[He's smiling, but it's a little strained.]

It's just a painting and one of his skills. Don't worry about it. He didn't mean anything bad by it, and...

[The corners of his lips twitch for a moment, but the smile stays. Stubbornly.]

... It's nothing to worry about, but why don't you stay in the compound for a few days?

Just in case.

Re: [Video | Private] need_some_shui February 24 2011, 10:33:29 UTC

Uh... [He hesitates. Dude it's so obvious you now know stuff about this that he doesn't. But he also trusts you... and... you are the nearest thing to an authority figure he's got here...so asking exactly what the problem was is ruled out by kid logic]

Uh sure...okay...I guess I can do that.

[Okay...maybe he can't resist] Is it something bad, Mr. Allen?

[Video | Private] whitenighting February 24 2011, 11:10:45 UTC

[Aha, you're a little sharp, Dre. He might regret not saying more, but...

Allen really doesn't see the point on dwelling on something that'll just scare them both.

But he does pause for a second, expression falling sober before a smile pops back on. He won't lie, but he does always believe in trying to cling to what faith he can.]

It isn't if we don't let it.

Re: [Video | Private] need_some_shui February 24 2011, 11:17:32 UTC

...uh...yeah thats sort of what they told Harry Potter [Dre mumbles, just rather confused and disturbed on a whole]

[He, similar to Allen, forces a smile] Alright Mr. Allen, I trust you.
