dream 002 ☄ memories of the 1920's

[ Warnings: Violence, death, blood
Effects: None...again. ]

The girl's cropped hair is black, and she looks to be around thirteen or fourteen years of age. Her outfit - blouse and long skirt and all - is as dark as her hair, and she's gripping a gun still in its holster. A simple revolver whose case depicted a small raven in flight.

She is standing in a dim office - so dim that the single lightbulb focused only on her. It was like being in the spotlight, literally. A corner of the desk is visible, but beyond that is pure darkness.

After looking down at her shoes, she speaks up.

"Please," the girl whispers. "I want to finish what my father started. I promise you won't regret it."

* * *

The same girl is now running down a street in the middle of the night, now wearing a waitress uniform. Her hair as grown a little longer, but it can still be considered short. Her heels click on the pavement as she goes, and she nearly trips. Grumbling, she kicks off the shoes and resumes running.

Behind her, a bullet ricochets off a trash can as she curves her route in an attempt to evade their shots while she still couldn't find a hiding place.

"She's an agent! Get her!"

The girl turns a corner into an alley, raises her gun and returned fire - only to realize that she had just fired her only bullet. She pulls the trigger again and again, and checks the gun; it really only had one bullet to start with. But...but that was impossible!

She walks ahead deeper into the alley...

* * *

...and into another room. A ransacked room with signs of struggle. And on the floor was a man lying in a pool of his own blood. He had died of a stab wound to the chest, and his eyes were closed. He had short brown hair tied in a half-ponytail, and wore a blue scarf with cloud patterns.

"Kay."

The same man, unscathed and alive, was standing behind her, scarf and all. She jumps, her eyes wide and her mouth open in a yell of shock.

"D-Daddy?!"

"Yes, Kay, it's me."

Kay could only stare at him, and back at the corpse, and again...

"Is it really you?"

He extends a clean hand toward her.

"Yes, it's me. Why shouldn't it be me?"

"B-b-because you're...you're..." Kay bites her lip, shuddering. Could he not see the dead body behind her? Tentatively she reaches out...

* * *

...and accepts the badge of an agent. An agent of the FBI. The hand that had given it to her was no longer her father's. The burgundy sleeve was proof enough.

"I won't let either of you down, Mr. Edgeworth," Kay declares, standing tall.

[And Kay sits up, wide awake and breathing hard...and she may be sweating a bit. She looks around her room several times before grabbing her Dreamberry and switching it off without another word. Yeesh, this again?]
spectaculaire: (Did you say something?)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-05 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
...Kay?
spectaculaire: (Hmmmmm.)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-07 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Are you all right? That looked like a rather unsettling...dream. [he wasn't sure if it was a memory or not since he recognized a few things from that 1920s week. yet he had seen a number of dreams where both fused together.]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-07 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm...I'm okay. It was only a dream, right?
spectaculaire: (Ahahahahahahaha!)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-08 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[quick nodding!]

Yes! It was! [and yet he feels bad for not bringing up the possibility that it might have been a memory.] Dreams can be, er, strange like that sometimes...

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. This was pretty strange...
spectaculaire: (Isn't it great?)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-08 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Best not to think much about it. [which means...TOPIC CHANGE.]

Other than that, how have you been? Anything exciting happening in the World of Kay? [small chuckle.]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-08 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
I...I guess I'm okay...the World of Kay is A-okay. [She manages a small grin.]
spectaculaire: (Happy days)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-08 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[...can't pull that one over this guy, Kay. his expression softens a bit.]

Even though that's what you say...I don't think that's quite true. Do you want to talk about it, Kay?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-09 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[DARN IT. Hey, she tried!]

...

You don't mind?
spectaculaire: (See that wasn't so bad)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-09 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[smiles.]

I wouldn't have offered if I did. If you want we can even talk in person if that would make you more comfortable, but whatever you'd like. So long as I can see Kay's natural, beautiful smile again.

Tamaki... [She's touched, to say the least.]

...

Remember that time when everything became like something from an old movie? My dad was murdered then. And it's not far from the truth.
spectaculaire: (Oooh I see)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-11 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[eyes widen a bit.]

Eh...what? Your father...??

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-11 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
He was...killed like that back home too. It was Mr. Edgeworth who figured out who did it.
spectaculaire: (Will she like it?)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh Kay...I'm so sorry, I... [he really isn't sure what to say, really.]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay...

That was seven years ago. And just before I was brought here, we found the murderer.
spectaculaire: (Happy days)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Really!? That's a relief! Now you won't have to worry about it and at least have some closure. ...Or at least I hope.

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...I'm glad it was over, but...I wish I didn't have to go through my dad dying here again...

Even if it was just some fabricated past or something.
spectaculaire: (Wha?)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
...Mm. I don't have any actual experience to relate, but even so—if I were in your place I would feel the same. But you still had a lot of people around you to support you. Even now. [smiles.]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks and now looks a little less sad. Then nods.]

You're right...I'm really thankful.
spectaculaire: (Just listen to papa)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[his smile brightens a bit as he sees the slight change of expression.]

Hey Kay, have you heard about this new frozen yogurt place that's opened up in the Shopping District? I hear it's quite popular with the younger crowd.

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, but knows where this is going.]

No...is their frozen yogurt really that good?
spectaculaire: (I know just the thing~)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
[it's not that obvious, what are you talking about.]

I'm not sure...I haven't actually tried it yet. I was thinking about stopping by to check it out later...[and a grin.] Care to come along?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
[KAY KNOWS WHERE THIS IS GOING and actually it's helping her brighten up a bit.

She smiles a bit.]


Yeah...I'd love to.
spectaculaire: (Isn't it great?)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
[just as planned.]

Great! Where would you like to meet?
