VI // (brief) VIDEO ---> VOICE

Jan 20, 2011 12:28

[For only a couple of minutes or so, the NV's on video feed.  Seth is shown with her back turned, but her clothes are all torn up again, much like when she first arrived.  Just like before, there's little in the way of visible injuries to be seen---a few scuffs and scratches.  What's different this time, however, is that those scratches and scuffs ( Read more... )

Seth... are you okay?

[It's a stupid question but he doesn't know what else to ask.]

[There's a pause, and the sound of something suddenly being dropped (a bowl), something spilling, Seth making an annoyed sound, and what sounds like wiping a counter before there's an actual reply, beginning with another weak-sounding laugh.]

...I'm fine, Hope. I'm used to rough-housing.

...That looked like more than rough-housing.

Okay, brawl is a better way to put it. Still, it's nothing too terrible.

[A beat, and Seth takes a deep breath before continuing.]

...You saw the cut on my face heal on its own, right? So you've got nothing to worry about.

How did you become injured?

[A very prolonged pause once she registers the voice as Edgeworth's. There's the sounds of something being put away, and then, a small chuckle.]

Doing what I do best, Mr. Edgeworth. Fighting.

Fighting whom.

[She's a little taken aback by how stern Edgeworth sounds, but manages a laugh.]

The usual ruffians---the Darkness. Turns out they've made new additions to their ranks.

[A...half-lie, but still.]

What happened?

...What happened? You run into something scary?

[There's another pause. Damn, she knew she shouldn't have left the NV on video...now people have gotten a small hint as to her true nature.

And it's not so much the fighting that has her shaken. It's her speedy recovery process, really.]

Quite a bit happened, actually...and you're on the right track, Joe.

But you're okay?

If you were able to see my cut heal, I'd say the answer is yes.

[Yet it's no. She never meant for anyone to see her regeneration.]

[Seth giggles. Oh, Akira, you antisocial little rascal.]

Fear is quite annoying, isn't it? I can relate. It only holds you back from what you really want to do---like an anvil in a sack.

Still, Akira...making some friends here and there doesn't hurt. You don't need a thousand of them, but friends can really help you through trying times. I'm one for solitude myself, but being alone your whole life is a fate...much worse than death.

I can't say I've brought everyone I've met good fortune, either. But isolating yourself only makes the guilt worse. Isn't that fear, then? You fear attaching yourself to other people because you don't want them to get hurt.

You don't like light?

[Seth looks quite shocked, as well as curious. She's thinking 'Methuselah or a similar being?' but doesn't want to say anything just yet to the tiny girl. She has to ask, though:]

...Does light hurt you? Is that why?

Nnnn, hurtsh Idui'sh eyesh, sho Idui doeshn't like light. Idui feelsh besht in dark placesh.

Ah...so you're just sensitive to it, I suppose.

[...Close enough to a Methuselah, though. Seth still looks fairly concerned, because---]

But the darkness is dangerous here; I'm sure people have told you about the monsters who appear at night---maybe you've even seen them for yourself. How do you get by, then, otherwise?
