008 ✞ [VIDEO]

[unetrustworthy]

[It took nearly three tries after stumbling out of bed for Midii to remember the proper button-pushing procedures, and clearly even longer to realize (and subsequently not care) that her hair was still a mess. A mess she was now publicly broadcasting, completely with a stiffened yawn and weary rub at her eyes.]

[Still clinging to the 24+ hours sleep she had unexpectedly succumbed to, her voice was groggy. Her mind, unfocused. Her words, uncensored.]

I fell asleep in the park. I think. But then I woke up here. I...don't remember anything else since then.

[There had been...a little girl crying. She remembered that much. What happened to that little girl? The paranoia began to sink in, and despite herself, she visibly frowned. Suddenly nervous.]

Is this another one of those magic things that keep happening around here?




((ooc: Midii was one of the people attacked by Bakura's summons. Her memories are a bit groggy at the moment, but as time passes, she might remember more and more of the incident.))

[It should have been an easy question. What is Jack? Yet, Midii had to ponder it for a long moment before the answer eventually came to her. A single word:]

Magic.

[jondrette]

Is he.

[It's not a question. Stranger things here have occurred.]

[unetrustworthy]

He is.

[And it said so much that Midii was not only able to accept that as an answer, but that she would consider it one at all. For so long, she had tried to deny the illogical and the strange. The things she could not explain, or could never hope to explain, with science and reason. To understand what Jack was, she had to understand that she couldn't fully understand.]

[In other words, for once in her life...she tried not to dwell too much on it.]

You've seen what he can do. And not just with the snow. The way he treats people. The way he makes them feel.

[jondrette]

I have. He was kind to me, after Gavroche left. It did not make me feel completely better, but his kindness was... more than I deserved.

[unetrustworthy]

His kindness was exactly what you deserved, Eponine. Especially right then.

[jondrette]

Perhaps you are correct. But I believe otherwise. There is no need to argue. It is in the past.

[unetrustworthy]

If you insist, Eponine.

[And that was how the subject was dropped.]
