dramatispersonae

6

[ This room is small. There is one window with a narrow, railless balcony. The walls are stone and it's quite clear that you're in one of the towers of the castle looking out over Aather. From this vantage point you can see all the normal landscape but you can also see the statue people as well as a looming cloud hanging over the fringes of the forest.

There is a small table with no chairs inside of the room. One button is dark gray and the other button is light gray.

It should be noted, for the observant, that every few minutes the cloud outside grows and gets closer. A darkness is slowly falling. ]

[leans on]

Hey...

Hey, Spark.

So this could be it, huh?

I really hate the thought of sacrificing my life. I hate it.

But... yeah, I can't choose not to fight after all this.

. . .

[noo I'm the same I HATE THIS]

With a smile on your face, huh?

—hell no! Just 'cause Beauty says it's death doesn't mean it's sure! Nothing here is sure!

...

I won't just accept it, and even if I do die, there's no maybe about me coming back. I'm not gonna just disappear from Aather.

...

You had better not. I can't accept this otherwise.

Don't accept it either way! Deciding to do it is one thing. Just giving up is different. This shouldn't even be something they need. As soon as this is over we're going to start on finding a way to change it. And you'd better be there too or I'll kick your ass!

...

[fists his hands-- tight nod]

I will be.

Good.

[LEANS ON MORE HEAVILY >E seems more... settled, though]

[well I am sort of shaking. but I will ruffle your head anyway]

[wraps an arm around his shoulders, this is such balls]

[ffn???

geez

fine, laughs a bit though]

If this is how it is, we'll change it... huh.

For someone who hates going along with my friends in a sacrifice I sure as hell seem to be doing it a lot... But I'll choose this with you. I have to believe this is the right choice.

If I'm making it, it's the right choice for me right now. That's what I know. Sitting back and doing nothing, or using other people, would sacrifice my feelings even worse. If it's our choices that have power, I'll make the one that's strongest.

...

[returns the squeeze around his shoulders]

Then we can do this. I... will give the power of my choice to her to use, not default anyone else.

[WE ARE SUCH BROS RIGHT NOW]

Yeah. I'm glad I did understand how Emerald felt all this time after all.

I wouldn't go that far.

I would've yelled at them otherwise.

[hff]

I do understand their choice.

Though I don't know if I can feel it too. I can agree, though.

Is this really the only role she can do? If the laws are like that... we have to change them.

The Personae are so messed up. It's not even that I don't like them. I like a lot of them! But... this. This crap about roles...

And none of them go against it. not Beauty, not Mal. Not any of them.

The only one I've seen manipulating it at all... was Three.

...I'll talk to her. After this. She likes me okay anyway, 'cause I give her stuff.
