003 ♥ video ♥ memory leak

[Enough with the memory leaks? Nonsense!

Baron is playing with the D-Terminal, casually scrolling through the network while Elizabeth is shopping at Lilymon's Beauty, as it's one of her many ways to distract herself along with getting the cutest clothes of course. She's been quiet for a while, resting from being in two major battles in a row, but now she is alright... or as alright as one could be here in Terminal Tokyo. The feed shows the curtains of the dressing room before Elizabeth comes out and gives a twirl in a red, frilly dress, which still keeps the cute historical look on her.]

Ta-da! It's such a lovely color for the upcoming autumn season, don't you think?

It looks nice on you.

[However, the feed suddenly takes a cut to a black screen, static cracking loudly as a different scene is forming.]

[The surroundings appear to be inside of a ship, the sounds of water splashing around and flowing rapidly in the background. Enough observation can tell that this is a ship that is flooding and sinking at a dangerous rate. And then, the feed appears with a group of... these.]

[Zombies, undead, whatever one wants to call them, there is a group of them with their eyes covered in heavy lace blindfolds, their skin dried and cracked, mouths hanging wide open as they seek for prey. Their foreheads along with the rest of their faces and bodies are covered in endless amounts of stitches. Their dirty hands, dripping with water and sometimes blood, reaching towards whoever's point of view it is. From the whimpering and held back cries, some could tell it's Elizabeth.]

Lizzy, get up! Lizzyyy!!!

[A boy's cry can be heard in the background along with the sounds of metal clashing against surfaces, like there is someone fighting nearby yet they aren't shown at all. It's just Elizabeth surrounded by undead. Her face does become clear, but she is actually smiling with tears pouring down her face. Smiling even if she is so scared right now. She doesn't talk directly toward the feed, but to whoever cried out her name in the background.]

I... I wanted you to think of me as cute... until the very end.

[The feed goes black completely before it doesn't end there. Just one last cry of desperation from the boy in the background.]

LIZZY!!!

[Reality returns to Terminal Tokyo with a now horrified Elizabeth, covering her mouth with her hands and eyes wide like a deer in headlights... only lasting for a few seconds before dashing back into the dressing room to hide. Baron just smacks a claw at his face.]

Dammit...

[How's Cam? He's absolutely horrified. Objectively, he knows that those are memories. This isn't something happening right now, but maybe this is how some others felt when his leaked, because immediately he responds, panicked.]

Baron, how is she? Is she still there?!

She's still here and she's fine...

[Of course, she is still in the dressing room when the Dorumon turns the thing on again.]

Since I have to play messenger for her, she, uh... She wanted to mention that she survived that attack.

[Out of relief, Cam lets out a deep, heavy sigh, but he doesn't exactly hang up.]

Can she talk? ...Of course not, probably... I... just let her know I'm here, if she wants?

I-I'm fine! I mean... I will be alright.

[Ah, there she is talking, which has Baron staring at the closed curtain.]

Don't try to argue with her or she might end up bashful. Hey, if you want to talk to Cam, get out of there.

[The D-Terminal gets moved to Elizabeth's hands, which she is still dressed and all, just... looking upset.]

Hello, Cam...

N-no, she can, she doesn't have...to... [Cam traaaails off as Elizabeth comes into view. He didn't want to pull her out if she needed time alone. ...He's glad at least she's wearing something.]

Lizzy... ...Damn, Lizzy, just... That was horrifying. [Duh.]

Oh, it was suppose to be a fun trip, but it ended up as a horrible nightmare!

[And here she goes, rambling away. It's better to talk about it rather than holding it all in.]

I did survive the ordeal, but it was still a mess!

[Oh, he wasn't expecting this response! Cam's a little taken aback and stammers.]

W-were those, were they really...zombies...?

[Cam is going to never write off anything as unreal again.]

They were undead! [Zombies too, but alas, she's too old fashioned to know every modern word yet.]

Zombies mean the same thing.

Then... Yes, they were zombies!

...How? [Asked very slow and deliberate.]

I don't know! They just appeared out of nowhere!

[Uh oh, he upset her more!] I-it's okay! It's okay if you don't know, how about we just...not talk about it anymore, you were shopping, that dress looked very....nice...? On you?

[Yes it did.]

Thank-

[Interruptions by more sudden static!!!! It's another memory, which seems to pick off right after the first one. However, it's more difficult to get a clear picture with the static still covering the memory clip, but it's possible to tell that blood and heads are flying in the air with the sounds of water splashing among the static.

... What in world is Cam seeing?]

[Back to reality with Elizabeth horrified... Great, someone is going to think she is scary now!!!]

Cam...

[IS LIZZY WIELDING MOTHERFUCKING SWORDS?!

When the video cuts back in, Cam's not horrified or disgusted-- he doesn't think she's scary, he's a 15-year-old boy.

As he puts together what happened, a look of pure amazement crosses his face.]

Lizzy that was amazing, you took their heads off!

[Yes. but CAM REALLY..............]

It was still scary and I had no other choice! Ciel wasn't suppose to see that side of me, but if I didn't do anything, we would get eaten!

[THAT WAS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE WANTED TO HAPPEN.]

I-it's okay! Seriously, Lizzy, you're a badass, that's not a bad thing!

I know it's not a bad thing, but I never wanted to be one in the first place...

I just wanted to grow up like all the other girls, but I can't because I had to train and participate in matches. Just because I am considered a genius doesn't mean that I enjoy fighting, Cam.

[He grows somber; oh, that sort of straightens a lot out. It really does.]

I...I'm sorry. I...understand, being pushed to do something you don't want to.

[Dear.]

...Here's not normal...and you still have to fight...but...what do normal girls do back where you live? Maybe...you can try doing some of them here?

[Cam would offer but if it involves dressed and make-up, um.]

That's what I have been doing ever since I got here. [She smiles a little, trying to stay a little positive during this mess.]

There's dancing, poetry, shopping, tea parties... A lot of very girly things, you know? Then again... It's not right if I just stand back and let people get hurt in front of me.

[Just that feeling that her family would be disappointed in her if people weaker than her get hurt and she did nothing to help them. Shaming her family is the thing she never wanted to do.]

Ah! Sorry, Cam, my life is a little difficult, isn't it?

[Compared to many people, yeah, life is a bit rough.]

I don't think I told you this yet, but it might already be a little obvious with how old-fashioned I am compared to everyone else.

Edited 2013-09-10 00:55 (UTC)

I...kind of figured. You don't really seem to be from the same, uh...year as everyone else...

But...you can do both here, right? Maybe...I dunno, organize a dance?

[JEEZ it sounds silly as soon as he says it and his brother would probably make fun of him, but dammit he's trying to cheer up a friend.]

I know, we gotta...save the world, and all that. ...Worlds. But that doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves, huh?

Um, yes... The year is 1899 in my world. A very big difference, huh?

But, oh, oh! A dance sounds wonderful! Of course, my idea of a dance might be different from yours. [She giggles.]

If I decided to throw a dance, can you help with setting everything up, Cam?

[Wow, that is a big difference, but-- Cam's got other things to focus on, whoops.]

Uh, m-me? I'm, uh... I don't really know the first thing about...stuff like that, I mostly had to skip out on them for, uh, training.

...But I can try, a little.

Don't worry, you can ask me any question! Plus, you can dance with Maya... And I think something like this might make her happy...

[A good dance between the one you love works with her sometimes so of course she would think it would work with anyone.]

[To be honest Maya would love a dance if she could play at it too-- maybe that'd be nice...]

Yeah, okay. Let's...do it. I'll help out.

Wonderful! I will think of preparations and a date right away! Oh, I am going to need to pick the perfect dress too!

[And oops, someone hanged up too quickly to get ready. Look what you have started, Cam.]

... Heh. [He just kind of smiles and laughs and closes his D-Terminal because, hey, she's excited! That's not a bad thing, right?

...Right?]
