Setsuna and Kaoru already left the City, I wonder...

[Who will be next. Rosella? The Earl? Ahiru? Fakir ( Read more... )

Why can't you leave us be! This is why we must save for a vertical fencing immediately. Keeping the pests away. Hmpf.

Out with all of you! Out!

Except for you, Prince. If you actually came this time.

Stay out from Opera Abandoned. I don't care to humor any of you, your vandalism or your nonsense questions. It's already late, soon you will be sent back to your homes. You're more lucky than us, because we cannot leave.

Yes, I did it. I stole the hearts. Surprising, isn't it?

[It seems to be a dark spot in the underground, only light shining is red, red glow of hearts, sometimes they flicker and take the appearance of the people they belong. She's not looking at the camera, she doesn't want to show her face, full in grief and shame. Her arms are still shaking.]I ( Read more... )

Without you, I'm like this, Prince. Like an agonizing bird.

Rue pauses, picking up the skirts of her white princess gown that makes a contraption to wear in a desolate wilderness. Her red eyes become frightened with every passing minute, hand closing over her chest.]This isn't funny, Prince. ( Read more... )

Just how much of that nuisance we should endure? Hmpf. I want every single mark, tracing or sticky paper put onto the furniture, walls, windows or doors from the Opera Abandoned removed by tomorrow. Scrub them for hours, I couldn't care less how long it takes you, but I want them out of my sight by the time of my morning ballet practice ( Read more... )

[Rue had taken a minute from her practice after a sleepless night, sitting and listening to Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre as she closes her eyes, only for a moment, at one of the Opera Abandoned spacious studios.]

Black feathers...

[She murmurs as she recoils from her seat]

Ahiru? Fakir... Don't be useless laying just there. No, this isn' ( Read more... )

Hmpf. Let's not talk about it. Ahiru has spoken enough on behalf of everyone else. She speaks so much in such little span of time. And I can't remember what happened.

What else can we do? Ladies. I must go shopping for new leotards. I don't know what I did with all my dancing clothing and my engagement and wedding rings... Where did I place them!I ( Read more... )
