Twenty-Third Drop: going home, now? (accidental videopost)

[spiritofsorrow]

(Above the top of the Lighthouse, there is a tear that descends like lightning across the barrier and falls to the edge of the sea. The beams from the tower are a stunning deep sapphire color tonight, sweeping long and far across the City as if fueled by a blue flame within. The rocks shine dull navy shades splashed with azure

wordy conversation they're having here

(He feels someone watching, a little. When he glances over at the Network device and notices who it is, he manages to pull himself together just a little, but only succeeds in staring at the device.)

ikr?

[hidesinrestroom]

It might not be real, you know. They could be tricking you.

[spiritofsorrow]

You know Ad--Ocelot. I have seen his fascination with Volgin's torture...I do not want him to be as your Colonel. Not my son. He cannot...there must be something...

[hidesinrestroom]

Heh. He'll never be like the Colonel. No one ever will.

aww raikov helps in his own way XD

[spiritofsorrow]

And for that, I am forever grateful.

fff, he was defending Volgin more than anything.

[hidesinrestroom]

As am I. It makes him unique.

you know that, and I know that...

[spiritofsorrow]

...You are incorrigible.

But you have my thanks.

[he shrugs it off]

I'm just going by my experience. If they lied about going home the first time, then these rifts are probably false as well.

[spiritofsorrow]

But the deities are fighting for us to hate this man. This...gives him some credibility, somehow. If the sadists who torture us hate him, is he not the enemy of our enemy, as some would say?

[hidesinrestroom]

But can we trust him?

[spiritofsorrow]

I know as little as you do.

[hidesinrestroom]

Hope he sticks around so we can learn more about him.

[spiritofsorrow]

If he calms down -- which he may after the fallout from this ordeal -- we may be able to get a word or two out of him. We will see.
