"Hold on, it's gonna be okay..."
The light was fading from her eyes, and she could barely notice the red-eyed elf hovering over her. The sounds that filtered through her ears were muted, as though her ears had been plugged with cotton.
"Somebody! Somebody, help us!!"
Hands gently lifted her from the ground, revealing one horribly mangled wing, feathers torn from it and bones jutting through skin; the other was missing entirely, dried blood coating the area around where it was attached to her back.
The rest of her was barely better off; cuts and gashes covered her arms, criss-crossed her torso in vicious scarlet trails. Tearstains had long since dried on her cheeks, her eyes almost lifeless now.
Prince wondered how she managed to remain alive long enough to even make her way to the plaza, let alone move.
The sound of running, dull and rhythmic, filled the air. But by the time anyone else had arrived, it was too late.

This isn't the way things are normally. We... We aren't like this.
The short note confused Syre, and a faint frown tugged at her lips.
"We're... not?" There was a worry in her voice, a twinge of hurt. "I... I don't understand. We're so happy together."
She looked down at her lap, wringing her hands together anxiously. There was the sound of pen on notecard again, and the thief passed it to her once more.
I'm sorry... but we've never been like this. This is a Shift, and a cruel one, at that.
A pang of sadness lanced through Syre, and she looked away from Lupin. It couldn't be true....
A hazy, unfocused memory rose unbidden to the surface of the Ecliptian's mind:
A farm over-run. A mob, unruly and chaotic. Lupin's voice, calling out.
"I've told you once and I'll tell you again -- stand down!"
Syre's hands went to the sides of her head, her expression slightly pained.
Through the white haze of her thoughts, she heard her own voice.
"Stand grown and leave, lest I stain the ground with your blood."
"Do you think I'm bluffing? Believe me, I'm not joking."
"I'll slay the lot of you in an instant, if need be."
She clenched her eyes shut, fighting off a headache.
"Syre. That's good and all, but this is neither the time nor the place -- and it's not my call..."
Only the feeling of being pulled forward pulled her out of her trance. She was suddenly aware of the wetness that streaked her cheeks, aware of Lupin's arms around her.
She knew, then, that he was right; knew that the happiness she had felt, the love for Lupin that filled her heart, was just another experiment to sate the Malnosso's curiosity.
Almost immediately, she wished she hadn't remembered anything at all.

Misc. Bits: Monologuing ahoy.
"Just because he went around flirting with everything that moved, doesn't give you any excuse to play mad scientist! I thought you were better than that!"
The Ecliptian was silent as Harry yelled, her eyes averted. He had a point, she knew -- she should have known better, should have been more cautious.
Should have feared the worst.
The silence that hung in the air after he had finished berating her was almost palpable. Then, with her voice heavy with guilt and sadness, Syre spoke.
"Perhaps I'm not." She looked up at him, green eyes filled with self-hatred.
"That, that was the me that my world normally sees. The ruthless mad scientist, the violent alchemist. Why should I give them any reason to think otherwise?"
She took a step away from him, spread her arms as though baring her very soul to him.
"Should I show them the hopeless romantic with false hopes instead, Harry? Should they see the weak fool--" her voice was shaking now, a crack in her facade "--that let herself be taken with kind words and a charming face?"
"Should they see the youth orphaned by war and uncared for by her peers? The young adult who had nothing left to turn to but her work, fearing the day it would drain the the last traces of life from her body?"
Syre's voice was an angry, sorrowful shout now, tears streaming down her cheeks even as her eyes burned with indignation.
"Tell me!! What should they see, Harry, when the Gods-damned Malnosso play with my emotions, my mind, and make me who I'm not!?"
She was shaking now, rage and sadness and self-loathing coursing through her even as she tried to keep herself from sobbing.
"Tell me."

May. 24th, 2012 03:30 pmHi Dreamwidth.
I've missed you ;_;
I'm back for a bit, now that I've got Semagic working on my desktop again.
Which means YAY I WON'T BE SO DEAD.
I'm heading to school again (yay!), and I'm working in the meantime (not so yay).
...so... yeah. That's about all, I suppose.

Good Evening!
May. 5th, 2011 08:17 pmWell, it's 8:14 (at the time I'm writing this, anyway), and I've just finished cooking my first actual meal.
I didn't do too bad, all things considered.
...maybe I should've gone into cooking instead of graphic design. *SHOT*
Anyway. I'm... working on some projects on the side, for the most part. Nothing too impressive, unfortunately. :C
I've been having trouble working on art, though. In the past couple of months, I haven't managed to finish a single piece. Lots of unfinished work, yes -- but not a single finalized thing in the entire pile.
I wish I knew why. :c

Okay, so.
Since my last entry, I've:
~ Changed jobs;
~ Moved out into my own apartment;
~ Gotten a gym membership and am now working out (although it's not working out well D8).
...
Oh, and I've gotten my desktop computer back online, sooooo I can actually update again. >_>

Oct. 16th, 2010 08:18 pmI totally forget about this journal. XD;
I've started a new job recently, so my afternoons and evenings are pretty full. ^_^; But now I have spending money! 8D
I've moved out of my house, so it will be a bit of time until I get back to semi-regular updates.
I'm also tempted to start writing a cosplay tip blog. I'll link to it when I get it up! 8D

Well, I got my computer to work right, meaning it no longer shuts down after five seconds of being on. WOO!
But for now, I have to leave it off -- in my reseating of the heat sink, I couldn't reapply the thermal paste that I needed to, so I'm buying a tube tomorrow and solving that issue soon.
HOPEFULLY THIS MEANS I CAN START PLAYING STUFF YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Almost theeeeere!
Sep. 1st, 2010 07:20 amFinally got the star-headed screwdriver that I needed. So, now most of my PC is put together, with the exception of my graphics card, power supply unit, and my SSD.
SO. EXCITED. Today should be the last time I have to work on it before I get it up and running. ^ o ^
In other news, Mom's heading to Puerto Rico for a couple of weeks. I'll be heading to Georgia for AWA in about two weeks, myself. WOOT.
Gotta get started on my Nurse costume in earnest. @_@ I need to stain it... and then work on the bubblehead mask. Which means I need a balloon or two. @____@
ASDFGHJKL -- So tired.
Aug. 29th, 2010 07:41 pmWoo... After a long week of alternating between being lively and dropping off the face of the earth from exhaustion, I'm back at home, so at least my inernet will be consistent.
I started unpacking all of the components for my computer, but was thwarted by a simple star-headed screw. CURSES. So, I'm going to ask my brother if he's got one, and see if I can get to working in earnest sometime this week.
Mom's heading to Puerto Rico on Wednesday, which means I have the house to myself for about three weeks. WOO!
...and then I'm heading to AWA. DOUBLE WOO!

Sorry about not updating for a little bit. I was hanging out with my friend Mikey. 8D
Well, more specifically, he wanted me to help him clean his room since I was the only one he trusted with the general mish-mash of stuff. o:
We went to see Vampires Suck yesterday, with my friend Sean and his friend Darlene. It was awesome. n_n
MY NEW COMPUTER PARTS CAME IN YAY. Which means that soon, I'll be putting it together and using it. Probably this weekend.
Outside of that, nothing of interest has been happening. o:

Flea market!
Aug. 22nd, 2010 08:58 pmWoke up bright and early to go to the semi-local flea market, up in New Haven. ^_^ There wasn't much there besides clothes and such, so I bought some socks and underwear...
And a NINTENDO 64. =D
So now I need to find games for it. XD
IN OTHER NEWS: My favorite BlazBlue character (BESIDES Taokaka, anyway), Valkenhayn, is gonna be DLC for Continuum Shift. SO EXCITED SO EXCITED.

Soooooore.
Aug. 21st, 2010 10:01 pmJust got done with my second day of exercise. Managed to get much, much farther than before, though I almost collapsed a few times. Ugh. @_@
I feel pain in places I didn't think could hurt. But at least I know that everything's getting worked out. XD
My friend Mike asked me to help clean out his room. I'm gonna do that Monday night... or, technically, Tuesday morning, since he's picking me up at midnight. WOO.
Other than that, methinks I'm doing well. Hungry, sore, but well. :3

Man. I'm sore.
Aug. 21st, 2010 10:36 amJust spent a long, long while cleaning my room. Dumped out who-knows-how-many pairs of pants, old/unwanted shirts, and all kinds of crap. @_____@ So, lo and behold, I actually have use of my dresser and closet now. All that remains of the nearly-year-old mess in my room are the two boxes in the corner: one of which holds my stuffed animals/plushies; and the other, which holds all manner of random stuff that I'm not in the mood to sort. >_> I also dragged my Taokaka costume out of the cloest, which means less time spent scrambling for it when it's time to pack for AWA. 8D
Slept with my weights on my ankles, so that I could get used to them. They're helping a lot; I can notice my strides getting somewhat lighter, which is awesome. I'll need to do the same with my wrists, so that I gain some upper body strength. I'll start using my resistance band some time soon, too, to try and get some heavier workouts going.
I want to write. I really do. But I'm torn between finishing everything I need to do for the Sellesian Union (on deviantART), continuing Gamer of Time (which I really, really should do), and starting something new. Choices, choices...

Okay. So.
It's been... a while. A long, long while.
I've deleted all of my old entries, since they're from high school and are therefore unimportant. XD
I'm exercising. 8D Getting ready to go into the Air Force. Bought some weights for my wrists and ankles so that I can use more energy (and burn more calories) with daily activity. Should work wonders for my DDR playing, too.
Getting ready to head to Anime Weekend Atlanta in September. n_n Then, in October, there's New York Anime Festival. Should be fun. :3
That's all for now. Might update a bit more since I have Semagic on my computer now. :3
