The Sixteenth Death: Family Reunions

Aug 11, 2009 20:51

[voice - default filter to the Victoria II]

[The journal starts recording with a click. And not just the click of a journal, more like...could that be the click of bone on bone? Nah, couldn't be.]

. . . AH. A COMMUNICATION DEVICE? PERHAPS?

[Yeah, that voice is, to put it lightly, Not Normal. It is, in fact, a Voice, not so much heard as felt in ( Read more... )

family reunions, worse than a bogeyman, getting away for a while, not the apocalypse, yes it's a skeleton, what is it now?, hiding out, death's granddaughter, normality? what's that?, that time again already?, whoops my powers are showing, little girl death

...

What.

[voice] nohoppityskip August 12 2009, 04:03:07 UTC

I'm sorry, sir, it won't happen again.

[Susan sounds...a bit harried. And that's even before the voice, now in the background.]

SIR? AH, AN OFFICIAL. HE SOUNDS...FAMI--

[voice] karmauberalles August 12 2009, 04:04:23 UTC

...Your... grandfather sounds somewhat familiar.

[voice] nohoppityskip August 12 2009, 07:11:11 UTC

...Does he, sir? You're not by any chance a wizard? Hiding some...secret talent? No?

Well I supp--

OR... NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES? AS IT WERE?

Grandfather, I--

[voice] karmauberalles August 12 2009, 18:51:46 UTC

Of course I'm not a wizard. I have nothing to do with that magical nonsense.

...I've had plenty of near death-

...!

[voice] nohoppityskip August 12 2009, 20:33:30 UTC

YES, THAT WOULD BE IT. AND YOU SAID YOU--

[There's a slight scuffle here, as if Susan is wresting control of the journal back away from her grandfather.]

NOW SUSAN.

Ah, I'm... sure there's nothing to it. He just has one of those voices, you know.

[voice] karmauberalles August 12 2009, 20:45:31 UTC

...I'm not entirely sure if I buy that.

[voice] nohoppityskip August 12 2009, 21:07:35 UTC

...Is that so?

SUSAN, I--

Shh!

Plus, he, ah...gets around a lot, my grandfather. Might have run into him before, nothing more!

[voice] karmauberalles August 12 2009, 21:09:45 UTC

Strange. I remember some very specific instances involving your grandfather's voice, and most of them were only when I was half-dead.

[voice] nohoppityskip August 13 2009, 05:42:33 UTC

...I...see, sir. Um.

Manfred, wasn't it?

[voice] karmauberalles August 13 2009, 16:44:48 UTC

Ah, yes.

...

What are you doing here, anyway?

[voice] nohoppityskip August 14 2009, 11:18:55 UTC

What am I--

Oh.

[Quite a bit of silence before a long-suffering sigh on Susan's part.]

Merely a visit, Manfred.

[voice] karmauberalles August 14 2009, 15:18:53 UTC

I see. I would hope this means I'm not going to find any of the skilled members of my crew dead, as if I did, I'd be quite cross.

[voice] nohoppityskip August 15 2009, 08:09:38 UTC

Not at this moment. I am not here on business, today.

[voice] karmauberalles August 15 2009, 16:45:44 UTC

Hrm. Alright, then.
