✪ TRAPPED! Ofuda River of Memories✪ [Video] (Backdated to early afternoon)

[loyal_cube]

[The feed cuts in and Cube's big blue eyes are all that is seen for a split second before he pulls away, the background coming into view... as well as a scale that is currently resting upon his head. The lighting isn't too bright, but it's clear the room he's in is smaller than most.]

ANEMONE-CHAN!!

HELP!

I KEEP TRYING TO COME OUT OF THE

[Oh, he wasn't alone. It would almost seem as if the closet became... larger? Or at least feel like it. Each eye on the ofuda staring at Cube, watching every little thing he did.

It was only the sweet scent of blooming flowers and burning cinnamon that betrayed the Others presence there.

A bright gold, shimmering figure, its own stare just as unblinking as the impossible amount of ofuda that filled the closet.]

[Clenching tightly to his communicator, he opened his eyes and looked down upon the floor. His breath drew from his lungs as he recognized the familiar color of liquid running along the floor, inching closer to his feet... which to him appeared as dark purple paws. Cube instantly withdrew from his current footing and looked dead ahead. He knew this room. He knew this castle. He knew this place very well... he had buried it within his memories but here it was again... and as tainted as ever.

The demon's stomach tightened and twisted as his eyes fell upon familiar corpse of his mistress' mother. A trail of blood seemed to almost connect reach out to him. Trembling. His breath caught back up with him, working overtime, heavy yet quick breaths filled him with panic. He turned behind him at the doors, his mind racing. One thought. One word.

Ojousama.

Ojousama.

Ojousama

[And through it all, the scene never once cut, and the barrier never lifted, keeping both Cube, and his otherworldly audience right where they all were, thousands upon hundred of eyes, and a single, unwavering pair, watching every second of each horrible moment. All with the distance of someone who was merely observing some work of fiction... or a silent judge looking over a defendant.

It was only after that scene, when it all faded to those staring eyes, that there was a sound.

Cloth sliding together, the chime of a small bell.

And here the being stood, suddenly there with the simple blink of an eye.

Looking down in silence at the weeping being upon the floor.]

[loyal_cube]

[The chime caused the small demon servant to jolt out of his daze. Slowly, his body still slumped, he looked up to the shimmering gold being before him, accompanied by a single scale. His lips parted but no sound came from him at first. Just gazed upon the seeming unrealistic form. His presence made Cube's already trembling heart to shake more.]

Who...

[hakai_aniki]

You... what?!

[loyal_cube]

[Cube's voice seems oddly serious, not sad and definitely not sparkly]

I was trapped... in Anemone's closet... by an unknown force.

However, a man came...

I'm alright now.

[hakai_aniki]

You were trapped in a closet? Hah! How do you get yourself into these situations?

[loyal_cube]

I was cleaning it...

When else have I been stuck in a closet?

This situation was... different...

[wears_a_torc]

[Back ground noise betrays the fact that Knuckles is outside, and is running.]

Cube?!

[After OS MS]

[loyal_cube]

Knuckles-san.

I'm alright... I'm not... harmed.

[wears_a_torc]

[The footsteps slow down, but don't stop.]

What happened?

[Locked]

[loyal_cube]

Someone... or something... used some kind of scolls to seal me in the closet... and...

... Knuckles-san remember when I told him about the Demon rebellion? It wasas if... I relived that night... where the Master was murdered and... I had to run away with the mistress... I...

[His voice breaks]
I couldn't do anything else... the man... who showed me my memories... he seemed lost... he asked me what I was... I said a demon servant... he seemed to disagree... he called me a "guardian" but...

I... I feel ... like I should have done more... somehow...

[cozmic_travel]

Hmm... I'll need to speak with Pharmacist-san when this is over...

[loyal_cube]

I don't know if it was him, Sensei...

The man I met looked similar but... he didn't feel like the same person...

... even though Scale-san was there...

[cozmic_travel]

If anyone would know anything, he would.

[loyal_cube]

... hai.

[A moment passes before he speak again]

Sorry to worry you, sensei.

ohgod why am I late for everything ever /fail

[latteheart]

Cube?!

This post was late so, ITS OK! WE FAIL TOGETHER *FAILHUG*

[loyal_cube]

Alpha...

I'm alright. I just ...

...was frightened. I'm not hurt.

[latteheart]

A-ah...are you sure? It sounded like...What happened? What were those things?

[Locked]

[loyal_cube]

I... I'm not sure... paper scrolls?

All I remember was... well... I was back in my home world... on a night I thought I... I... could forget.

I'm not quite sure if what I saw really happened... maybe it was a dream?
