008 ♰ video (images galore and emo warning)

[fathersbeloved]

[It's dark. It looks like an inn room, but all lights are turned off. Beato can be seen sitting on the bed, even in the darkness, her face is visible.]


...she's... not here anymore, am I wrong? Just before Halloween... this doesn't feel right. I'm sure she would've enjoyed the festivities--


[Beato sighs loudly, looking elsewhere for a moment. Then a smile faintly appears in her mouth, as a quiet giggle breaks the silence.]





--Would I... not?











Haha... WAHAHAHA! Who thought I would miss such a special day? That number is not available? Fools! Why should a small machine like that be of importance to me, the Witch Beatrice, who has lived a thousand years?!



...



[Silence.

Beato looks down, her face partially covered by her hair and the darkness. Only a quiet sob can be heard, one that grows a little louder as she looks up again, smiling sadly.]





...or so she would say, would she not...? I just... I never got to tell her just how grateful I am to have talked to her... so, thank you, Beatrice. I will keep doing my best effort to be myself. You... are always inside me, so I know you'll hear this! And maybe someday... we'll have tea together again...!

[Video] sleep is for the weak.

[isthedeadcat]

I'm sure she knows how grateful you are...

[Video] like you.

[fathersbeloved]

L-Lion....

[Tries to clean her face with her sleeve.]

[Video] I'M NOT WEAK I'M SO MANRY.

[isthedeadcat]

And you know... I believe she was also very happy of having talked to you.

[Video] yeah sure.

[fathersbeloved]

Do you believe so...?

[photofinish-her.livejournal.com]

[Watches, then smiles warmly.]

Just because someone is no longer here physically does not mean they're truly gone.

[fathersbeloved]

I don't really know about the others... at least, Beatrice is always here.

[Lets out a small smile, her hand goes to her chest.]

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

I'm sure she knows... [[voice very warm, very soft.]] And you will see her again, I'm sure of it. She's from your world, right?

[Video]

[fathersbeloved]

She is... though I'd only heard stories about her.

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Then there's definitely a chance.

[Video]

[fathersbeloved]

I... I suppose. [Cleans her eyes.] After all... her soul is inside me, is it not?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[For one moment there, he really wasn't sure which Beatrice that was.]

...You must understand her heart very well, to bring her voice back to this world like this.

[video]

[fathersbeloved]

[Smiles sadly, points at her chest.]

Her soul is here, after all...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Not her soul, I think. Her memory, or rather your memory of her. That'd be just as strong.

[uuing]

[ Maria is a little quiet too before she speaks up. Yes, that imitation was just like Beatrice - the witch Beatrice - and thinking about it only makes her feel more sad, with seemingly everyone leaving one by one. Yet it seems she's trying hard to seem at least a bit blank - she's not quite able to smile just yet, not like this. ]

... That's right. Uu-.. It's a shame Beato wasn't able to enjoy Halloween here. [ it sort of ruined Maria's Halloween. 8( ]

[ video ]

[fathersbeloved]

Maria...

[New tears appear in her eyes, she's doing her best not to let them fall.]

[ video ]

[uuing]

[ Maybe exactly because she seems so close to tears, she tries even harder to smile. That's right, if she doesn't smile, then the magic of smiles won't work, so.. ]

What's wrong..? We.. should make sure to celebrate even more for Beato's sake, right? [ Her voice still shakes a little. ]

Ah...

B-Beatrice-san? [ She knew the other one... ]

[audio]

[fathersbeloved]

[Doesn't recognize either the voice or the number.]

Just Beato is fine... who is this?

[audio]

[usedhealingwish.livejournal.com]

Beato-san, then.

This is Madoka. I've talked to you before, but... your number looks different...

[audio] ignore my delay and placeholder sob

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[It really is the number and how Beato is speaking after that bit of laughter, that tells him which one he's talking to. So, he'll answer for her, since Beatrice isn't here anymore.]

She would have enjoyed it, I'm sure.

[audio]YOU CAN TAKE FOREVER I DON'T MIND <3

[fathersbeloved]

Do you truly believe so...?

[audio] HI I'M STILL LATE HAHAHA

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

Mm. From what I've heard of the.. holiday, it sounds right up her alley.

[Video]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Mm... I'm sure she gotten your message. Um... It's been a while since we've chatted, hasn't it?

[Video]

[fathersbeloved]

Hello Cruz... [Gives him a warm smile, he's still one of her dearest friends.]

I hope she could hear it... I'm sad, I can't believe there are so many things I would've loved to tell her, but didn't think of them until she was gone.

I'm sure that you'll get your chance someday! Please don't worry.
