[Euphie turns on the video, revealing herself standing outside near the apartments with a bag over her head. She giggles a little, which contrasts with the sad face carved into the bag itself. She's just following out a dare Hikaru had given her.]



Hi, everyone, I just wanted to clarify that I was under the curse to be a secret admirer a couple of days ago. I'm very sorry for any confusion or embarrassment that I might have caused. Zero, you were incredibly nice about it. Thank you so much, and I hope you didn't actually eat any of those horrible muffins. I don't know how I convinced myself they were a good idea!

Oh, and this is Euphemia for anyone who doesn't recognize me like this. [Giggles again.]

The title was not what was important to me.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

It must have been for a noble cause.

[deadly_legacy]

It was a little selfish, but I think...if it had worked, it would have been good for a lot of people.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that it had worked, Lady Euphemia.

[deadly_legacy]

[Can silence be sad? This silence is if at all possible.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Some things, like changes, take a while to surface, but I'm sure that whatever effort you had put in had made its ripples. People, the world, and everyone just take a while to change. Please, have faith, Lady Euphemia.

[ n_n ...this is what Flynn tries to believe in too ;_; ]

[She turns the video feed off. You can hear the bag being pulled off and a little sniffle. She's trying not to cry.]

Flynn...

Lady Euphemia...?

I-it didn't... [Softly] People died. Lots of people.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

...

I'm sorry to hear.

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

I was one of them. [But not one of them too, because she is the reason they died.]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Lady Euphemia...

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

I'm the reason they died.

[private]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

I don't believe that.

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

[Long pause] I gave the order...and I fired the first shot.

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

The fact that you're taking responsibility for all of it leads me to believe that... you're not the only one at fault.

[ wow, pulling a page from Yuri :D ]

[deadly_legacy]

I...I did try to fight it. I didn't want to do those things, but... It was like a curse. And I still did it.

[private]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Then it wasn't your fault.

I understand that sometimes we're forced to do things we don't want to because we hope that things will get better after that... but- I believe you. I believe that the Lady Euphemia that I have come to know can never give an order like that.

[His faith in her makes her feel better and worse.] Flynn... Are you nearby?

[private]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

I can be, if you wish for me to be.

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

Can we...talk in person? [No bag.]

[private]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[ ...Bag or no, Flynn won't judge you ;-; ]

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

Should I go to your home then? [She remembers where it is from the party.]

[private]

[srslynotguy.livejournal.com]

If that's fine with you. There are a lot of people living with us, though. I don't know if you would be comfortable with that.

[She almost suggests that they just go into his room, but maybe he shares that too?] Okay. I live in apartment 7, room 107. I'll be there.
