ACTION: 1648 ALBRIGHT LANE

[When Rachel awakes from her dream, she doesn't know whether she wants to laugh at her own stupidity or get Nago to slap her in the face. To think she actually believed in such a thing... really, she was losing her touch. Now, she could only wait to see what sort of consequence would await her for making her choice. ( Read more... )

you all have shitty memory, damn my self-sacrificial tendencies, # event, this is almost as shitty as timeloops, this is what you get for being an observ, /action

[as soon as he'd seen the news report, his eyes had turned to the stairs.

he doesn't understand -- not any of it, not how this worked or how it had happened -right under his nose- yet again, but it had. disappeared... forever?

he is already convincing himself this is a lie, but there is one way to find out for sure. he's taking the stairs in two's, practically running to the second floor and toward her room. GUESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A VISITOR IN .2 SECONDS LITTLE MISSY.]

[CAN SHE NOT EVEN HAVE A MOMENT TO BE ANGSTY GOOD GOD THIS HOUSE SUCKS.

Which is to say whenever Abel flings himself into the room, he'll find Rachel already sitting up in bed and turning her head ever so slowly to glare at him. She can't even have a private moment to herself can she.......]

What.

1/2 custodismundi December 17 2011, 06:36:24 UTC

[herping all the srs derps (is that... possible?) as he tosses the door ajar-- and...

...is stuck looking at her, in surprise...]

custodismundi December 17 2011, 06:37:15 UTC

[but it doesn't take long for his face to fall.

...she's... gone?]

Miss... Rachel...

What did you do...?

queenofscarlet December 17 2011, 06:40:08 UTC

... [Alright, so this isn't exactly what she was expecting.]

Yes, unless you've suddenly forgotten with that meager brain of yours, I am Rachel. What do you want, Abel?

custodismundi December 17 2011, 06:44:12 UTC

What did you do? [there's a bit more of an edge in his voice. did she really choose to 'sacrifice' herself? what's left in her place is just... wrong. it's written all over her face, and this is not the way Rachel is meant to be.]

queenofscarlet December 17 2011, 06:46:44 UTC

Last I checked in the five minutes since I woke, all I have done is wake up from sleeping. [There's obviously something wrong here, but it's hard for Rachel to guess what of course.]

custodismundi December 17 2011, 06:55:34 UTC

[he isn't sure if this construct really believes it's Rachel... or if it's merely playing dumb. but he has no intention of being cruel, either way -- he's simply worried for the danger she poses to the rest of the family, and...

...what it means for the -real- Rachel.]

They're--

[...deep breath.]

...They said on the news that you... sacrificed yourself... for the town.

queenofscarlet December 17 2011, 07:02:54 UTC

... ah, I see. [Or at least, she's beginning to see. To sacrifice yourself meant to "disappear" after all.]

Tell me, Abel, after what you have seen of me--do you truly believe I would do such a thing? [Thinking about it, it probably didn't seem likely at least. Rachel had shown herself to be nothing but selfish and arrogant.]

custodismundi December 17 2011, 07:07:52 UTC

[it didn't fit with what he knew of her... that was true.

but he always saw the best in people. he wanted to believe if she felt she had been saving a life... she would have made the right choice. he certainly can't deny the possibility exists.]

...What I think doesn't change what's happened.

They also said that... you've been 'replaced,' Miss Rachel. [and there is a look in his eyes that says he believes it. definitively. even if there is remorse for that fact.]

queenofscarlet December 17 2011, 07:12:10 UTC

[OH GOD THAT HTML FAIL UP THERE WHY but anyways.]

Replaced? Yes, I see, that certainly would be a fitting outcome of what had happened. [She smiles at no one in particular, seemingly amused by this.] I suppose I must be a replacement to you then.

custodismundi December 17 2011, 07:14:58 UTC

[her response makes him uneasy, and he rubs his elbow, shifting his weight uncomfortably. the consternation isn't hard to pick out in his eyes.]

...Do you feel any different?

queenofscarlet December 17 2011, 07:17:20 UTC

Should I feel any different?

custodismundi December 17 2011, 07:18:21 UTC

[a hesitation, and then... a nod.]

You... aren't really Miss Rachel. [he's sorry dauder... ;(]

queenofscarlet December 17 2011, 07:21:48 UTC

... you truly believe so? [SHE ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE A SHITTY DAD but no ah, so this is how it is...]

custodismundi December 17 2011, 07:24:28 UTC

I want to say that... I know so. Everywhere in my gut is telling me that you're... wrong, but...

[SHUT UP HE'S THE BEST OKAY or the worst whatever. same difference... he ducks his head apologetically as if it's his fault aslgkjsdf dude he doesn't know, he just... feels terrible about this.]

...I don't know if what the newscaster said is true. I don't know whether I can trust my eyes... I don't know.

But if you really aren't the real Miss Rachel, and you know anything about where she went-- or... where I could find her... then please. Anything you could tell me...
