Quest 135
[Accidental Video Post]
[The video, as it begins, shows nothing but tall grass and the gentle curve of a bright orange pumpkin--clearly from the pumpkin patch--but the audio is clear. It's a cruel voice that speaks, sickly-sweet, with a sinister edge to it.]
--old you I'd have my revenge on you, didn't I, peasant girl?
[There is a whisper of wind, a rustle of branches, and the soft swish of footsteps in the grass.]
Give me my talisman. What did you do with it? You spy from Genesta, what did you do with my talisman?!
[An abrupt thud, and an instant later, a sharp cry--in what is unmistakably Rosella's voice. The footsteps begin again as someone resumes pacing, and the whispering of the wind is joined by a triumphant cackle.]
I knew you took it from me. You took it away from me! But that's not all you took, is it?
[The voice grows louder now--the speaker's pacing is drawing her nearer to the device.]
You, you and your precious love. You disgusting little girl! And to think, I almost had you for a daughter! You pretty little fool, I should've killed you the minute you set foot on--
[And then, abruptly, a sound like a whipcrack echoes through the air, and the speaker shrieks. A moment later, there is another loud thud, right next to the device; now the video reveals the face of the speaker--a cruel woman's face, with cold red eyes and bright green skin.
For a minute, there is silence, other than the sound of the witch struggling--and failing--to free herself. And then, sounding furious and out of breath, Rosella speaks for the first time.]
A fool, Lolotte? I may be. But I'm not the one who thought it'd be wise to tie my prisoner up with her own magic rope, either.
[And now the video moves, revealing the witch tightly bound in coils and coils of rope. As it straightens out, Rosella seems to notice that the video is recording, and she turns it to face herself so she can look into it. Her hair is mussed and there is a reddening welt beginning to form on her neck, but she looks more angry than injured.]
This was on? Dratted thing, it must've happened when it fel--
[And with a click, the video ends.]
[OOC: Rosella's worst nightmare? Well, one of them, anyway. Having Lolotte make good on her threat to take revenge for killing her at the end of King's Quest IV. Fortunately, Rosella came prepared. What do you know? Those rope tricks of hers did end up being useful, after all. ♥]
