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!

[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.

[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....

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He listens intently to her words and then frowns when she finishes.]

Combining magic and technology... Can such a thing even be possible? And I'm sorry for all of the pains you've been through, Terra. This Kefka sounds like a deranged monster who only enjoys making others suffer.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra nods readily enough to that sentiment.]

That's very apt. That device was so strong that when it was removed...I didn't remember anything about myself for a while. Even now, there's a lot missing, but part of me wonders if it isn't better that way.

[Deep breath.]

He was here...but he thankfully disappeared a handful of months ago. I try to forget, but this week hasn't made it easy.

[The expressions on his face are very serious and both of his hands are now holding onto hers.]

Perhaps I could help you to forget about that man? If you wish for my help that is.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her fingers curl around his hands, finding reassurance in that gesture. Slowly, the tension within her own begins to dissipate. She nods, large eyes entirely serious.]

I would like that very much. And...I want to help you, too.

[A smile brightens his face when she speaks those words, the feelings inside of him begin turning from fear into happiness. Knowing someone wished to help him, it brought him such joy.]

Thank you Terra, you are a very kind girl. I promise to repay your kindness one day.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra's cheeks flush at that as she bows her head a little. Compliments of any sort always leave her a bit flustered.]

I think you already do, Frederic. Your being here does help. Otherwise, I would be just waiting for the next bout of weirdness to happen.

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lifts one of her hands up to kiss it in a very gentlemanly fashion and blushes with her.]

If it means anything to you, I wish to keep protecting you even if I must put my life upon the line for it. That is how deep my desire to protect you is.

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a moment, she doesn't know what to say. Anything she can think of in response seems inadequate. The kiss to her hand certainly doesn't make that blush go away, either.]

I'm not what sure what I've done to deserve that, but...thank you.

[And she leans in to place a gentle kiss on his cheek.]

[identity profile] refinedmaestro.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[The color on Frederic's face becomes a bright pink and he becomes very flustered from that kiss to his cheek.]

Y-You're welcome, s-seeing your smile brings me such joy.
