FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, MY FELLOW LUCETIANS

Who: EVERYONE
What: TRAUMA!
When: ALL THE TIME
Where: ANYWHERE
Summary: HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE TRAUMA. FREE FOR ALL IN THE SCARRING EXPERIENCES DEPARTMENT.
Rating: Gosh. I'm not sure. However, I suggest you hide your little'uns.

Basically, the purpose of this log is TRAUMA SPAM. If you didn't want to spam your flist with extra posts, or you wanted to post with more than one character -- or more than one character more than once! -- here is your place to be.

This will be a commentspam style log where you can thread start with your character hallucinating things. Whatever you wish it to be! It can even just be a more general thread start where they're not hallucinating anything -- yet. And each thread can get treated like a post, where that character's CR can react to the trauma going down!

If you still wish to actually post in your character's journal, you're of course totally allowed to do so. This is just here for funtiems and convenience for everyone who wanted a greater chance to post during this event! Feel free to use it anytime over the next few days, through Halloween, to do "posts" and threads with your characters.

Have at, guys!

[The hug surprises her a little, but she's not about to protest. Terra hugs back, glad to provide what reassurance she can.]

You can just call me 'Terra', you know.

How about we go inside? I could make us some tea.

[Pulling away from the hug, Frederic blushes brightly and looks away. He's rather embarrassed by his actions and shakes his head.]

O-Of course... Terra. And I think I might want to stay away from tea, I worry I might see blood instead.

[Terra nods sheepishly.]

I didn't think about that, but you're right. Maybe--

[And there it is again, Kefka's crazed laugh. She whimpers, clamping her hands over her ears.]

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic looks concerned for Terra as she clamps her hands over her ears.]

Terra? What is wrong?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra doesn't reply immediately, so not wanting to pull her hands away and hear...that...again. But she makes an effort to not fall completely apart right there, drawing in an uneven breath. After a moment, she moves her slightly trembling hands away.]

I...I keep hearing someone's voice. He's...pure evil. I wish it would go away.

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks more concerned for her and then a little determined, as much as he can in the state he's in. Seeing a woman in trouble is something he can't sit by and allow to happen.]

Who is this evil man? I will put a stop to his wickedness so he will leave you alone.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
[If only....]

His name is Kefka, but he's not here...at least, not anymore. It seems the Malnosso want me to think otherwise, though.

[Her shoulders slump a little.]

...it's almost working.

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
[That name, he remembers that name from the last time he was here. Unfortunately, he never met this Kefka and he supposed that was a good thing.]

I remember someone named Kefka here, or at least I remember hearing of him. We never were able to meet, but I suppose that is a good thing.

[He frowns a little at her.]

I have been hearing the voices of people close to me as well. My sisters, friends, and parents... But I know none of them are here.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods emphatically as that comment about Kefka, very glad Frederic has never had to encounter him. Mention of those voices makes her twitch a little.]

At first, I just heard random voices in the mist, but then...I started to hear familiar ones, too. I know they aren't around, but it's hard to listen to them in trouble.

[She sighs.]

Well...if we're not alone, does that help a little? At least there's someone else around to remind us of what's real and what isn't.

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[As of now, Frederic feels completely indifferent to the voices and frighten situation, yet he knows he needs to stay positive instead. But one particular voice that comes out of the fog is one that seems to shake Frederic out of his thoughts and Terra may hear it too. It's the sound of a little girl, she sounds very sad and upset. She also seems be calling out 'Frederic! Big brother!' and that seems to shake Frederic to his core.]

Y-Yes, that is correct.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra turns a little, perking up as she hears that voice. Wincing, she turns back to Frederic and gently takes him by the arm.]

Let's go inside. I know it won't help everything, but at least we won't be right next to that mist....

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Frederic nods and simply says nothing, only showing a look of sorrow as they start to head inside. However, a girl (http://hayatecrawford.deviantart.com/art/ES-Emilia-Chopin-113184177) comes out of the mist except she looks very pale and ghost-like. There's also blood dripping from the sides of her lips, her eyes are blank, and her voice sounds very wicked in nature when she speaks. Frederic's eyes widen greatly and he looks stricken with complete horror, even little tears are dripping down his face.]

Big brother! I~ found~ you~!

E-Emilia...

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Immediately, Terra moves to stand in front of him as though shielding him from the apparition.]

Stop it! Leave him alone!

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic looks surprised by Terra's actions, but is still in some shock from "Emilia" appearing before him. Yet he comes up from behind Terra and puts his hands on her shoulders. All the while, "Emilia" is standing there and watching them, she looks at big angry at Terra's threat as well.]

Terra please... She's my sister, don't hurt her.

You want me to leave my big brother alone? How dare you! He's my big brother, not yours!

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra shakes her head, first directing her words at Frederic.]

I don't know if I could, but that wasn't my intention.

[She frowns at the apparition.]

You're scaring him--

[And then the color drained away from her face as she heard Kefka's mocking laughter, this time loud enough to be heard by any.]

How cute! The puppet thinks she has a will of her own! Set another Slave Crown upon her head and see how quickly that will change!

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic also hears Kefka's laughter and voice, holding onto Terra's waist tightly and now yelling at both of them with narrowed eyes. He wants to believe this apparition in front of him is Emilia, yet she looks too wicked to truly be his sister.]

You both will leave us alone! You are not real! Get away from both of us!

How cruel of you, big brother! Yelling at your sweet little sister! Maybe I should punish you for being such a bad big brother, Frederic.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra fights not to be affected by Kefka's cruel, bloodthirsty tone, but she can't prevent the trembling regardless. She's far too worn down by the past few days to deal with this as she knows she should. At least that apparition threatening Frederic is enough to snap her out of being an incoherent bundle of nerves.]

You won't do any such thing. And I'm not your puppet anymore, Kefka! Even if you were really here, which you're not!

My sweet little magic user... Uwee-hee-hee! You're all mine! Never forget it!

[Terra shakes her head firmly, then tenses as she sees his silhouette mere paces away in the mist.]

We have to leave....

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic nods and puts his hands together quickly before making a small fireball appear in them as he was silently casting a spell.]

Forgive me Emilia... Fire Storm! [He throws the fireball, causing "Emilia" to burst into flames as she screams then fades into nothing. Then Frederic grabs Terra's hand tightly as they run to her apartment.]

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra barely has time to process that, but she's not complaining at all. The sooner they get away from the mist and inside, the better. At least, that's her hope.

There's no hesitation as she throws open the door to her place, slamming it shut once they're inside. Leaning against the wall, Terra takes a moment to catch her breath...and try to stop trembling in the process.]

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic is right beside Terra as he too is trying to catch his breath and stop his trembling. His eyes turn to Terra and he attempts to smile for her.]

Thank you for helping me, Terra. I hope I was able to help you in return as well.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra would try to smile back, but she's busy biting her lip so that it doesn't tremble. She's still a bit pale, but some color begins to return.]

Y-yes, you did. If you weren't there...I might have been too frightened to leave on my own. Thank you, Frederic.

[Now she's able to manage a smile, as she reaches out to give his hand a grateful squeeze.]

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic holds Terra's hand gently and gives it a small squeeze in return, but not too hard. Seeing her smile, it brought his heart a bit of happiness.]

If you're still a little frightened, I will gladly stay by your side.

[His hand now begins caressing hers, but he notices that and blushes faintly.]

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra notices it, too; she glances down, surprised, but doesn't withdraw her hand.]

I would like that. Thank you.

[And she guides them over to the sofa, because that seems a more comfortable spot than leaning against the wall.]

Um...about what you heard....

[She bites her lip again, a little nervous at the thought of explaining Kefka's words.]

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Frederic continues holding Terra's hand, still blushing a little but he tries to look serious.]

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand what that man Kefka was saying. Was he talking about events back in your world?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, averting her gaze.]

...yes. What Kefka said really happened. He was a high-ranking official in the military of my world's empire. They were searching for ways to combine magic and technology, so they could spread their powers throughout the world. Magitek....

[More lip-gnawing. Her voice grows quieter.]

I was part of the military, too, though not by choice. They raised me for most of my life, because...well, because I could use magic. It's not something that people can naturally do, in my world. So, I was given over to Kefka and at some point, he made that device to control me. I-I don't remember that part well....
