XXV. ACCIDENTAL Video. (Kim is dumb sometimes.)

[pearling]

[There's a thud and the camera clicks on. Then there's a scream. The scream is agonized sounding, pained and full of loss. Persephone is in the middle of the garden in her room, and the plants around her are brown. As the camera rolls, a seed in her hand starts blooming, but then it cycles through the entire life of the plant in five seconds. Another scream and she looks dejected as she drops the withered plant onto the ground with the rest.

Persephone looks lost and then she sees the camera light on. Her face hardens instantly and she pics it up and addresses it in a furious tone.]

Levi-Biff you fix this this instant.

[She glares at the camera before she turns it off, forgetting to delete the other part.]

[Persephone doesn't know about the curse because she doesn't care about the network, and she hasn't been out of her room to see anyone with the swirling black clouds over their heads.]

I would not care if it meant I would be returned home, but I simply would be kept there wherever it went down.

She always seemed very nice. I would expect that she does. Warden friends should fix this. Neil Howie will not let it happen but the other should do it.

Oh, is that what happens? We don't even get oblivion? That's lovely.

I suppose I should start caring, then.

If I did this, I would expect my friends to kill me.

I am immortal. I would not get oblivion. I do not know what others would get. Some are bound for Hades and some are not.

But the Barge is mysterious. I have heard it has crashed before but I was not there then.

I would expect people would stop me. They killed Coyo when she...

They will stop this. they must.

They will stop it. They have to. Sooner or later, the people who want her dead will outweigh the people who want to save her.

If killing her is the only way to stop it, then she's going to die.

I can't help, because I don't know how to use muggle weapons, and I can't use magic. I've been doing what I can in the infirmary.

Are you going to be alright? I promise you, this will end. I don't know when or how but it will. There are too many people here to allow for otherwise.

I hope you are right, Sirius Black. But I do not think you will be. They would rather maryter people then actually fix the issue.

I will be all right. You should come and visit me when you are not tired from this.

I will. Once this ends and my magic is restored. At the moment, I'm a walking disaster.

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I see.

I am sorry you are a walking disaster, Sirius Black.

It's alright. It could be worse.

[He could be bald. He isn't going to do a deep psychological analysis about what it means to be more upset about his hair versus his numerous lacerations.]

[Have a bitter little chuckle.]

I would not say that very loudly, Sirius Black.

Re: [Private]

[Have a pause, a realization of what he's said, and a resigned sigh.]

Merlin's arse, I'm a dead man.

I'm sorry about your plants.

I believe you should find all of the good luck things which you can think of.

They will come back. [That really isn't a desperate tone in her voice. Not at all.]
