[Accidental Voice/Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Once again, it's the middle of the night, and once again Emil is having trouble sleeping. This time it's not dreams that are disturbing him, but the constant presence of the ghostly figures of his parents. Even though they've talked and come to an understanding (and how surreal that entire conversation was), he still can't help but be bothered by everything this experiment has forced him to acknowledge and confront, both about himself and about those close to him. It's no surprise that sleep isn't coming easily to him right now.

He shuts his eyes for a moment, then opens them again to find... someone he did NOT want to see again. Letting out a startled, frightened yelp, he jumps, falling right off his bed and knocking his journal off the nightstand in the process. It falls open to record his next words.]

Y-you... no... go away... go away! We killed you, you're dead... you're not real...

[Richter heard that one. His journal may be closed now, but it's kinda heard to miss someone in the next room falling to the ground and talking to someone. His hand shoots to his weapons and he exchanges a glance with his own 'visitor' (yes, that person is still there. Wachting Richter sleep). After it becomes apparent that this was not a Malnosso attack, he makes his way to the door and opens it to stare into the living space. That's where Emil's room is, you know. The living space. ... We do look at apartment layouts, really.]

... Emil?

[He's on the floor now, backed up against the bed and shaking like a leaf, staring at something that isn't there.]

R-Richter, it's... Diavolo is there...

[And he lifts one trembling arm to point to what he's looking at. Richter will now be able to see Diavolo's ghost, bloodied and burned and sporting a gaping hole in his chest from where Subaru struck the killing blow.]

[Thanks a lot Emil. We were really looking forward to seeing that. And now that Richter can see him, so can Richter's 'visitor'.]

So I see.

[knightofratatosk]

[Sorry, Richter. He didn't do it on purpose.]

H-he's taunting me...

[And he buries his face in his hands, anything so that he doesn't have to look at Diavolo right now.]

[sigh]

Pull yourself together. That man can't touch you. To see you cower before him would only amuse him further.

[thanks for waking him up, Emil. He should find a better place to put this than under his pillow]

...Emil? You okay?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[He doesn't even seem to have heard Lloyd at first.]

I'm sorry... I'm sorry, we had to do it...

[Voice]

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

[well, he's got enough of what's happening to figure out he must be talking to a ghost] Emil, they're not real.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I know... I know that, but... I can still see him.

[Voice]

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Who're you seeing?

[Voice]

[trueknight]

Hey, Emil, snap out of it. Don't let this get to you.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yuri... make him go away...

[Voice]

[trueknight]

[smkldmasf don't say things like that to someone who hates being helpless.]

... dammit. Who is it, Emil? Who's bothering you?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Diavolo... he looks like he did when he died...

[Voice]

[trueknight]

... that's right, you were there when that happened.

[sighs]

There really isn't much anyone can do about these hauntings right now. Just ... remember that it's not real. Whatever it says, whatever it does -- it's not real and it can't do anything to you. If you have to, then use a blindfold. That's all you can really do about it for now.

[Thanks for waking the ninja up Emil~]

...what was that?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Diavolo's here now too...

[Voice]

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

You mean the creepy guy who kidnapped that one girl, and killed like...two other people?

Why'd the Malnosso bring him back? [She's totally missing the poing =\]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

He's not back, he's a ghost.

[Voice]

[7bladesword.livejournal.com]

...well that's just wrong.

[ooc: Wow, my spelling sux DX]

[myheartmypath.livejournal.com]

[He's fairly used to seeing/hearing the dead so this event isn't phasing him much. Scared voices will call him from sleep though.]

...If the person is dead, then it can't hurt you. Are you alright?

[knightofratatosk]

I'm... I think so, but...

[myheartmypath.livejournal.com]

But?

[knightofratatosk]

I wish they'd go away.

[myheartmypath.livejournal.com]

I wish I could help with that, but I can only say it will be over eventually. I haven't been here long enough to guess how long until you can relax, I'm sorry.
