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?]

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?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Thinking.] Well...I'll be coming from Enveria Apartments...
spectaculaire: (You stole my shirt?!)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[blink.]

Eh...eeeeeeeeh!?! We're in the same apartment complex!? [how could he never noticed!?] I'm on the third floor!

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Same reason why Kay never noticed she and Tamaki live in the same complex, I guess?]

H-huh? Really? I didn't know that - I'm on the seventh floor!
spectaculaire: (Pffftt)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
[both special people.]

And we never ran into each other!?

[and his disbelief turns into a laugh.]

Well that makes it easier. How about I wait for you down at the lobby?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
[These two, sob.]

Sounds like a plan!
spectaculaire: (Trust the bat)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'll see you there in a few minutes, then!

[with that he hung up and made his way down where he would be waiting.

Operation "Cheer Kay Up And Ensure That She Has One Of The Best Days Of Her Life" was go!]

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kay quickly gets ready - brushes her hair a bit, smooths out her skirt, basically makes sure she looks presentable. She's hardly the prissy diva type, but still.

Then she takes the elevator down. The doors open into the lobby, and she's out.]
spectaculaire: (It's a wonderful day)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-12 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[he greets with his characteristic bright smile and wave as he soon as he sees her.]

Kay! Over here!

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She waves back and hurries over to him.]

Tamaki! You're fast. [Kay manages to chuckle at that. Of course he was fast, he lived here too!]
spectaculaire: (Isn't it great?)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-13 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, well I was already ready and it was only three flights of stairs.

Ready to go?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
I sure am! [Her smile is wider than it has been all day.]
spectaculaire: (From the side)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-13 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[so far so good! so he'll just be chatting away about random everyday things as he leads her out of the apartment and up the street toward where the frozen yogurt is.]

When was the last time you had frozen yogurt?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's been ages. [She'll just follow along.]
spectaculaire: (I know just the thing~)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-13 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Really? What about your favorite flavors?

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Strawberry's my favorite flavor, but what do they got?
spectaculaire: (Let's go to the commoner sale!)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2011-06-13 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't looked, but they probably have all sorts of flavors. It claimed to have more flavors and combinations than jelly beans!

[identity profile] dedikayted.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Maybe I'll try something new...d'you think they have flavors found only here in Somarium?
