flickering mirror

[seasides]

[sometimes... sometimes he wonders if it's wise to continue exploring when bored. today is one of those times. he's standing in a white room that may feel familiar to some, even though besides being white there aren't any similarities to Castle Oblivion. the only thing inside the room is a large but simple fountain. the oddity here can be spotted quite easily; instead of water, there is blood running through the fountain. and no, it's not fake.

he finds himself staring down at the blood with more curiosity than horror- that is, until a reflection suddenly shimmers into existence where he's staring. and he immediately stumbles backwards, wide-eyed, wondering why the haunted eyes of a child he hasn't seen in well over a year had been peering up at him in familiar betrayal.]



(ooc: Okay so here's the deal. It's obviously not your regular fountain o' blood: if your character looks into it, and have killed someone at any point in their life, whether on purpose or by accident, they'll end up seeing the reflection of that person or even possibly hearing that dead/once dead character's voice echoing in their ears. If they've killed more than once, the choice is up to you who they see, but it'd probably be the one they most regret killing.)

Bothered by a little blood?

[excuse him, this is the funniest thing he's seen all week.]

[seasides]

...not the blood.

[straightens, almost wanting to go back to the fountain to check if he'd been imagining things.]

[thundery.livejournal.com]

Then what? Something drown in there?

[wanders in further, arms swinging.]

[seasides]

Why don't you look for yourself?

[if he wasn't hallucinating, then maybe Larxene would see something, too.]

[thundery.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head, but walks over anyway. curiosity, you know.]

You act like something's going to reach out and grab you.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[His mother hen senses are tingling or something, so he'll be rushing in.]

... Kai?

[seasides]

...hi, Roxas.

[that took him a moment, turning his gaze from the fountain to the blond slowly.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Tilts his head a bit, looking worried, but his gaze catches the fountain.]

Are you okay?

[seasides]

I'm... fine. I thought I saw...

[trails off, looking back to the fountain again.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[wanders in after a moment; may have been exploring with him, but got sidetracked. is more concerned with Kai's reaction than the fountain, moving forward to put an arm around him so he doesn't fall or something.]

You okay?

[seasides]

Y-Yeah.

[might cling to him a little, just until he manages to steady himself mentally.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[petpet, glances down into the fountain-- whoa what the fuck. flinches hard away from it, tugging Kai with him a little in the process, expression flat and cold.]

[seasides]

[looks up when Axel pulls him away, frowning deeply.]

What did you see?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's peeking in and ewww, that looks really gross and creepy so of course he's coming up right next to it to look at it*

[seasides]

[takes him a moment to notice but- agh what are you doing.]

Sora?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*looks at you, and back into the water*

Anything interesting in there?

*all he sees is himself, haha*

[seasides]

[blood*. also, lucky Sora.]

I thought I saw... someone.

[darksparked.livejournal.com]

[he's smelled that scent often enough to recognize it. he's looking into the room in time to see Kai stumble back, and pauses in the doorway before entering the room]

You look as though you've seen a ghost.

[seasides]

Not... quite.

[straightens, eyes on the fountain for a moment before he looks away.]

[darksparked.livejournal.com]

What did you see, then?

[morbid curiosity, he has it]

[seasides]

...someone I haven't seen in well over a year.

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[Eh? What's this? While completely white rooms have never meant good things for the Dressing Room, Axel's curiosity is piqued as he passes by. Self-preservation instincts are for nerds. Luckily this isn't going to kill him. Physically.

Emotionally? Very probably. The fact that he's a Nobody has yet to stop him from believing he can feel, anyway. Axel spots the blood fountain once he steps in and stops, eying it warily.]

... Huh. [This is new.]

[seasides]

[oh hi, Axel. he'll be over here not noticing him right away, even with the speaking.]

[lostmycause.livejournal.com]

[That's fine, he's too busy gawking. It's actually kind of gross. Oh, hey, it's that Kai guy.]

You okay, man? [Approaches.]

[seasides]

...yeah, I think so.

[runs a hand through his hair, straightening.]
