79. Irony

[some people may have already seen the big purple electric ball hovering around the village, randomly changing back into her usual self at the least opportune times. Here it is again, near the center. It could be said to be moping]

[[ooc: Come and chat with at least the appearance of a summon spirit?]]

Lifeless being... you mean like the Cruxis angels? Does Martel know of this?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, she's the one who first told me about it. But then I ran into him, too. It was weird.

You're not...anything too, are you?

[lezareno_prez]

Not as of yet. Perhaps I will be lucky enough to escape this experiment unscathed, though I'm not holding out too much hope.

1/2

[corrinesbell]

I hope you stay normal. It's nice to have someone sane to talk to.

2/2

[corrinesbell]

[and then another change back. And this time she'll land in the fountain. More of a thud-splash than anything]

[lezareno_prez]

... Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

What.

[lezareno_prez]

Are you all right?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. I'm used to it.

[lezareno_prez]

Did you consciously break free from the experiment, or was this a spontaneous occurrence?

[corrinesbell]

It usually happens when there's something below me I don't wanna land on.

[lezareno_prez]

Yes, you seem to have a string of bad luck concerning falling.

[corrinesbell]

Tell me about it.

[climbs out of the fountain and is wet]

[lezareno_prez]

[Being a gentleman, he'll offer her his hand if she needs any help.]

[corrinesbell]

Thanks. [not willing to admit that this one hurt on top of being embarrassing]

[lezareno_prez]

[He knows her pride and won't offer any healing unless she asks for it.]

You're welcome.

[corrinesbell]

[from Regal she'd probably take it without feeling too bad. After all, it can't get any more humiliating]

I really wish this could just be over.

[lezareno_prez]

I think everyone who has been affected - and even most of those who have not - share your feelings on this situation. I know many speak of confronting your worst fears, but I doubt this was what they had in mind.

[corrinesbell]

I've never been afraid of becoming Volt.

[lezareno_prez]

This experiment seems to be turning people either into things they fear or things they hate-- or perhaps it is that the two are interchangeable.

[corrinesbell]

...Do I really still hate him?

[lezareno_prez]

Only you can answer that question.

[corrinesbell]

I didn't...really think I did, but...

[lezareno_prez]

But this experiment proved you wrong.

[corrinesbell]

What reason would I have for it? All the bad stuff that happened because of him really happened because of me.
