33rd Joke - The Laughter Never Fades [Event!]

[xochipilli_cursed]

A) [Action | 1521 Williams Road]

[[Aaron sees the list of names. He stops breathing a moment.

His housemate might find him on the couch, knees hugged to his chest.

Just quiet.]]


B) [Action | Around 1451 Mitchell Road]

[[Aaron is hanging around, just standing outside the fence or watching from a yard over.

Passing by often, in hopes it was a lie.

He knows though, deep down, what he failed to do and everyone else choose to do.]]


C) [Action | Around Town]

[[He doesn't know what else to do, so he is just walking.

Seeming aimless and lost.]]

Comments

[[He flinches, and stops as if expecting another.

Looking over.]]

Johan...

They didn't... they didn't just erase them and take them away.

[And while normally he wouldn't care as Anna isn't on the list.

Slugger was. And he frowns slightly.]

What do you mean?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

They replaced everyone on the list.

They're just teasing us now.

Do you think...

[[Wait, Johan. Don't vent all your fears to Johan.

It's tough, though. There are not many people he talks to that are not on that list.

Even the few who weren't were mostly drones.]]

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

Do I think?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Nothing.

I know what I did, we all do, right?

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

We all know what you did?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Did you dream?

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. That was a rather sad attempt at trickery I must say.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Was it?

What does all this tell you about us and them?

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

People get tricked by dreams?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

And if it wasn't a trick?

Everyone else was willing to risk it if it meant saving us.

We weren't.

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

I don't really care if I exist or not, but my sister has made it clear that she does.

I'm not willing to risk causing her that pain. That's all that matters to me.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[That was similiar to the reason Aaron choose not to.]]

But, what if it could save her to do so?

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

Erase myself to save my sister?

I don't think you understand. If I did that, and she found out. It would destroy her.

I'm not even sure what it would cause her to do. ...she's more like me then others think.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

You're right about her being a lot like you, I see that in her sometimes.

[[And it still bothers him.]]

So really, trick or not, you didn't have much of a choice then did you?

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

We're simply two halves of a whole.

There's always a choice. But one that was easy for me.
