Ghosts, curses, hah. You actually believe in all that mumbo jumbo, kid?

Of course I do. It would be silly for me not to believe in ghosts when I, myself, am one.

[At this point, would he even still be called a ghost? Or would he be a zombie or just undead?]

...okay, I'll play along with your little game. [He shrugs. Ghosts, hah, yeah right. He doesn't believe it for a minute.] If you're a ghost, what're you supposed to be haunting?

I was cursed to haunt the man who took my eye [he gestures to the bleeding bandages covering the hollow crevice on the right half of his face] and ultimately my life.

He's dead now, though. I made sure of that. [A pause.] And then I burned his house down.

[You know, just to be extra thorough.]

...what the fuck.

[Excuse him, that's really the only thing he's able to come up with right now.]

Well I couldn't very well let him come back. Not after he had caused so much damage while he was still alive.

[Come on. Don't try to make it sound like you don't appreciate a job well done.]

Besides, I was asked to do it by the one who summoned me. I couldn't exactly refuse, even if I had wanted to.

[Which, naturally, he hadn't. Wouldn't you be feeling a bit vengeful, too, if some crazy doctor had chopped you up for spare parts after locking you up in his dungeon for who knows how long? Taking him down had been quite liberating, if he was being honest.]

Look, kid, if you're killing people and burning their houses down you've got bigger problems than thinking you're dead.

[...no one wants to be told that by you of all people, Dio.]

And if you're doing it 'cause someone told you to that's even worse. "But he said I had to do it!" isn't going to hold up in court.

Oh, don't get me wrong--I never planned on getting out. [Never mind the fact that he physically couldn't. That dead little boys couldn't really be held accountable for their actions in a court of law.] I was supposed to burn away with the place.

[Supposed being the key word, here.]

One second I'm surrounded by flames and the next...well, I'm here. [As un-dead as he probably could be. It was more bitter than sweet.]

[Never planned on getting out - right, to Dio, that sounds a lot like an attempted suicide-by-arson. He studies the kid for a few seconds before shrugging. Yes, this kid has issues. No, Dio doesn't really care enough to try and sort through them.]

Well isn't that lucky for you. Most people would kill to be able to get a second chance at life or some shit, and here you are taking it for granted.

Maybe if you were in my shoes, you'd understand why I don't find it so lucky.

[He frowns as he tries to figure out how to explain this to someone who clearly doesn't believe a word he says.]

I'm not saying that I don't want to be alive...I do. But right now, I'm not alive--just stuck somewhere in the middle.

[And, to make matters worse...]

Have you ever had any sort of purpose in life? One thing that you were meant to do above all else, at all costs?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kid, this isn't limbo or anything. [It can't be, because Dio hasn't died yet, and if he did - well, he'd probably go to Hell. Let's be real, here.

The next words give him some pause, though, and he actually stops to consider it before nodding gravely. He has a purpose - a duty - and that's not something he can be cavalier about.]

Yeah. That's why I'm going to keep on living until I fulfill that purpose.

hey kiid, iive done the dead thiing.
a lot.
youll be ok.

_{((hello mun of awesomeness *goes back to watching part 9 of Mad Father series*))}

Edited 2013-07-29 02:53 (UTC)

A lot? [As in more than once?] You mean...you've come back to life?

[Was that even possible? Or was he just another cursed soul?]

(( *U* I watched it yesterday and I've been thinking about this ever since aaahhh. Man, I want to see the other endings, now.))

Edited 2013-07-29 02:58 (UTC)

_{[Poor kid. He honestly felt pretty bad for the ones that only died once and didn't have any option to come back.]

((I moved recently so I had to lay off the youtubage for a while. I'm catching up now.))}

That sounds...difficult.

[He winces with his one eye. It had been bad enough being cut apart while still awake to watch it--just one time. Dying again and again just to come back and have to face it all over? It didn't sound like his ideal living scenario.]

...but don't worry, I did. I'd been watching over someone--to make sure she didn't get hurt.

[He had supposed to guide her out of harm's way from the very beginning, but that hadn't exactly gone as planned. It was frustrating to know that once he had completed his task he had wound up in this place instead of being put to rest.

How long was he expected to keep this up for? And what, exactly, could he be expected to find meaningful? He didn't even really know where he was.]

But if she's not here, too, then...I guess I'll have to find something else.

[The idea makes him look a bit put-out.]

there2 alway2 2omethiing el2e.
2ometiime2 iit ju2t take2 2ome tiime to fiind iit.

[After a small silence, he smiles softly. The words were comforting, somehow.]

...you're right. Thank you.

[And as far as he could tell, he had an infinite amount of time to find it.]

I'll keep looking.

Why cant you rest?

Edited 2013-07-29 03:45 (UTC)

My spirit was re-awoken as part of a curse. [Here, he frowns.] The curse should have been broken, now, and I should have gone back to rest...but now I'm here. For what purpose I'm still not quite aware.

What curse? Maybe I can help you?

I doubt it. [He shakes his head sadly.] It wasn't a curse that was put on me--I'm just involved.

[His eye turns downward.] And even if I was the one cursed...it can't change the fact that, in the end, I'm already dead.

[If the curse was broken, he simply went back to being dead. It wasn't ideal, but the only alternative was being stuck where he didn't belong.]

There has to be something I can do? I mean--I can't just leave you like this if you're cursed and unhappy!

It is such a shame we are from different universes. I might of been able to do something. Granted I'm not sure what I would be doing in Germany, but we could of gotten some information on the matter.

Maybe. [The boy frowns. He doesn't know too much about his situation, if he's being truthful. After all... he wasn't the one who had been cursed or done the cursing--he was simply an after effect. Just another puppet to scurry around and cause havoc. In a manner of speaking, anyway. His purpose had been a bit more specific.] Although, while I didn't exactly meet a happy end, perhaps it was something that needed to have happened.

[He didn't want to have died. Not so young and so brutally--but if he hadn't been one of the souls brought back, Aya never would have been saved. At least not as far as he could imagine.]

Perhaps, but if our worlds were the same the organization I am a part of could of at least handled the Doctor as well as put you all to rest. The situation was quite chaotic.

...Really?

[He looks a bit skeptical, but can you blame him? As he had said, everything had gotten extremely out of hand. The idea that someone could do so much, seemingly with fairly little trouble, seemed sort of like a miracle.

Underneath the skepticism, though, it something else. Hope for what might have been. For a salvation he's been long since denied.]

Can I ask...what kind of organization are you part of, exactly?

Don't get me wrong we would be under as much threat of death as anyone else, but we've dealt with spirits and other such creatures.

[Admittedly he wasn't entirely sure what would happen to this kid's body if he tried to exorcise him.]

The organization is called The Special Talent Project. We act as an organization that investigates paranormal happenings and stops them from hurting people. We're trained for dealing with dangerous situations as well as in rites such as exorcisms.

It's a little blunt, but we could of forced the source of your curse to pass on into the next life.

I see. That probably would have helped Aya greatly. [He pauses thoughtfully.] That is assuming, of course, that her Father was taken care of separately.

[Although he didn't want to have been brought back from the dead in such a manner...that man deserved to die. Both for the things he had done as well as for the things he had been planning to do. To his own daughter, in particular.

His shoulders slump.]

In the end, it doesn't matter. What's done is done and I have no time or use left for my regrets. [Again, he pauses. This time he sighs as well.] But sometimes I can't help but wish his crimes had been put to a stop long before any of that had ever happened.

[Before the doctor had killed his wife. Before he had "rescured" Maria. Before...before...

Without even realizing it, the boy gingerly brings a hand up to touch the gaping wound left across his face.]

Of course. Once the paranormal happenings were handled Aya's Father would of been apprehended and Aya herself would of been put into proper care and psychological counseling.

[No way a girl could entirely handle something like that after all.

He looked at the boy with some concern.]

Would you like some help tending to that?

[All he does is shrug, his face a mask of tragic complacency. It's a look that someone who had been so young shouldn't be wearing.]

Thank you, but it's fine. It's not like it's going to heal, anyway.

[His reanimated husk had no ability left to change.]

That doesn't mean you have to be inconvenienced.

[He really didn't like that look of complacency. A child shouldn't have to have that.]

It seems like you're going to be here for the time being so perhaps you should take it as an opportunity to try to live your life a bit like you would of wanted to?

It's far from a perfect scenario, but at the very least something good could come of the situation.

And by rest you're meaning...

Being gone forever? Dying entirely?

[He nods solemnly.]

I think it's time for me to move on.

[Past time, actually. He'd rather go peacefully than continue to be a haunt--a sick shell of what he was when he was alive.]

Then I hope you find your rest somehow.

I know what it can feel like... just wanting something to end. Something that just feels like it'll keep going forever.

Thank you.

[He turns his eye to the ground sadly.]

Anyone who can understand how it feels to long for the end of an existence must be going through something unbearable. I sincerely hope that this isn't the case for you. [Or, if it was, and he was sure it must have been--] Or, at the very least, that you find peace, as well.

[Hopefully peace in life as opposed to death. He wouldn't wish death on any child.]

Don't worry.

I had to go through something terrible for a very, very long time. But whenever things would start to look up, I'd latch onto it and make the most of it. It almost never amounted to anything...

... But the times it did added up eventually.

Ah...!

It's you...

Aya...!

[He looks startled. He can't help himself; the blonde youth hadn't been expecting to see her again. He's not quite sure whether or not he should be relieved, this new environment could hold more threats than he realizes, but it is so nice to see a familiar face.]

I hope you're well?

((I'm sure you're fine! o u o I haven't even played the game tbh I've only watched the Let's Play. ;;; So hopefully my voice isn't all funky, either OTL.))
