The Kagamine Flood Continues!

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[Sitting curled up with his back against a wall, is yet another Len, and one who had yet to find Kaito's handy dandy newbie chart. In fact, he was absolutely convinced that he'd gone stark raving mad; because she had gone.
He had always known he'd be lost without her...he just didn't expect hallucinations. Especially not a hallucination so huge he could no longer see the prison camp. The only thing he knew was real for certain was her goodbye letter that he was still clutching in his hand.


Though he had to admit, this was a vast improvement on the scenery he was used too.]

Well, either it's real and I'm a future life of yours, or it's not, and you're hallucinating. I... guess I'll leave you to decide which is a better option for you.

[Oh. Reincarnation too.
His head was starting to hurt, and it wasn't like his sanity had been on particularly stable grounds while he was in the camp either. Ugh.

You know what? At least here there were supposedly people that at least looked like her, so he wouldn't be completely miserable; weather he was hallucinating or not, right?]

...I suppose I can believe it until something proves otherwise.

[But if a unicorn pops up, I swear to God...]

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

I think it's safe to say that all of us with the same face, aside from the...

[A pause. Ohgod if he started mentioning the robots now, poor boy would start foaming at the mouth.]

...Aside from a few special cases, all of us with the same face and name are probably reincarnations of each other. I learned of your life in particular, though, which is why I know about Rin.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[Luckily, his pause is entirely ignored for something else he said; so the prisoner's spared further trauma for now.]

...Rin? That's her name??

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

[A nod]

...If it makes you feel better, I know the whole story now. And that letter isn't what you think it is. She doesn't want to hurt you any more than you're alread being hurt.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[Rin...of course she has the cutest name ever.]

...What do you mean, 'she doesn't want to hurt me'?

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. Admit what he knows and crush his hopes, or be cryptic and make him think he's trying to delude himself..? Finally he comes to his decision, mumbling lowly as he tries to soften the blow as much as possible.]

...She's... sick. In a bad way. When she's not passing by the prison fence on her daily walk, she's in a hospital bed. She only has a few months to live, and didn't just want to disappear on you and make you wonder why you'd been abandoned...

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[Dead. Silence.]

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

[...Was it better to let him know? Should he have died, finally, at the command of her father, still thinking that she hated him? Potentially a god, intended to allow the Earth to be reborn, and all he had done thus-far was meet a creepy version of himself and ruin people's lives. Sorry, that silence is contagious and Len's gone quiet himself.]

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[Nonononononono!
Please no! Not her...
She deserved to be happy with or without him!
Why her?? Even if he was going to die, he would've...he should've been waiting years and years for her...not...]


N...No offense, but I really hope you're a hallucination...

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

...

[Dead. Silence. But only for a moment.]

...She may well show up here, alive, healthy, and happy. There are others with her face and name here already, some kinder than others. Even if I am a hallucination, trust me when I say you two are tied together deeper than you could ever imagine. You'll be with her at the end no matter what.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[These words are very helpful to his poor in-serious-denial brain.(They also help it feel less like he was just stabbed in the heart.)
Please say more of these words. Especially the part where Rin is happy and not dying.

Oh God, just...picturing his beloved Rin in a hospital bed...

Those words. More of them.]

I...I really hope you're right...

[What tears, leave him alone. You don't see them.]

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

[Knowing the heart-rending pain of watching his sister get impaled in plain view, it's not hard for Len to figure out what he did wrong and how to fix it. At this time, it's best to play up the features that are most like a hallucination; by the time he learns they're true, he'll also learn that being here means he doesn't have to suffer the fate he did in his life.]

It's... not so bad here, really, even if it's a hallucination. There's some bad folk to watch out for, but you have a good head on your shoulders, you can tell who they are. Be careful, though; not all of the Rins here are as nice as the ones you and I know. A lot of 'em are really kind of violent and callous. One of 'em is even the sister of that creepy version of you I chased off. So, y'know... use your head, okay? Don't go trusting anyone that you don't feel trustworthy.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[After wiping those 'unseen' tears away...]

...The pirate me has a sister with Rin's face?

[That was just...disturbing.]

She doesn't have only one eye, too, does she??

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

[...no, the disturbing part is yet to come.]

...actually, from the murmurs I've heard, she's the reason he only has one.

[...yeeeeah.]

Also, I wouldn't eat that candy if I were you. There's a shop down the street that I'm sure would offer you something if you have a taste for sweets; Haku's a really kind girl and wouldn't turn you down even if you don't have any money.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[...What. Alright, those two? He's certain they aren't a reincarnation of he or Rin. They were something evil with their faces.]

Ah, the candy? I wasn't really planning on even touching it.
[The evil could rub off on him. Or more crazy.]

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

[He said a few special cases.]

Like I said; I figured you had a good head on your shoulders. [A quiet sigh, as he considers] One final thing.

There's folks here that are gonna claim that they're robots. They're gonna talk about your life being some kind of song they sang at some point. I dunno if they're telling the truth or not, any more, but it's really a lot easier to play along with them. After all, worst case scenario, you're right and this is all a hallucination. They're good folks except for the weird singing-robot thing, so why make your little trip here uncomfortable by arguing with them about it?

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

O...kaaay, then...

[Len just...gives up. He cannot begin to understand the bizarre nature of this place and his head hurts too much to even attempt it.]

...Should I be watching for white rabbits, too?

[i-am-lengend.livejournal.com]

[A bit of a bitter laugh. He'd've been the same way, if he hadn't come here fresh from the most surreal elevator ride of his existance.]

...I wouldn't put it past this place. There's a bus with a sign posted on it a little ways away; it runs down the details of this freaky place, but it might be a little confusing.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

What about this isn't at least a little confusing?

[In other words, he'll be reading the sign. It's likely he'll wonder what the stuff about UTAU's is.]
