scene 60: curtain call

[charmedillusion]

{ Voice Post }

[ There’s a slight pause, as though she’s collecting her thoughts, before she rushes ahead breathlessly ]I don’t know how long it’s been here - since last night, maybe? Would I have noticed if it had been? I’m not sure. Do you leave the City when you feel you’re ready, or when the City feels you’re ready? I don’t know how long

Sarah...? Sarah!

[charmedillusion]

Rue!

You're back - oh, I'm so glad. Mytho had been...

Well. You're back now. That's what matters.

[princess_crow]

He's fine, I wouldn't leave him for too long not unless I have a say about it.

Are you leaving?

[charmedillusion]

I...I think so, yes.

Take care of yourself for me, won't you? I won't be around to run in and visit you, Mytho, Ahiru, and Fakir...but I know you'll look after them.

Your story is going to be beautiful, Rue. It already is.

Sarah!

Sarah, open this door!

[Poundpoundpound]

[charmedillusion]

[And there's a wide-eyed, worried Sarah opening the door. She opens her mouth as if she's about to ask something, but she doesn't.]

[Poundpoundpound]

[playstheblues]

You can't leave.

[He wraps his arm around her shoulders]

You can't.

[charmedillusion]

[She still doesn't say anything - she doesn't quite trust her voice, not yet - but she leans into the hug gratefully, hugging him back fiercely]

Sarah?

[charmedillusion]

Anita.

I won't be around to keep taking score, but you make sure to keep up with it. I'm still betting on you!

[browning_baby]

Aww, it won't be as much fun unless you're around. Besides, I'd lose count.

[charmedillusion]

I'll be cheering from the sidelines in spirit; you know I will!

Honestly, though. I - you have to promise to think of me now and then. Okay? I'll be thinking of you.

[vampbratprince]

My little princess...

[charmedillusion]

Lestat. Dear Lestat.

[vampbratprince]

I shall miss you terribly.

And only memories will I have to cling to.

[charmedillusion]

I'm going to miss you. So much.

You'll do something for me if I ask you?

[fowlprodigy]

Sarah. What is going on?

[charmedillusion]

I think - I think I'm being summoned, Misi. Back home.

[fowlprodigy]

Home.

Take care then.

[ooc: Sorry. This is him handling the situation.]

[charmedillusion]

Misi. There's something I've meant to tell you all this time, but never did.

When my little brother grows up, I imagine he'll be something like you.

[ooc: BIG SISTER UNDERSTANDS ALL. ^_~]
