❖ 009 // [Voice | Action]

[crisisrain]

[Somewhere not too far from the lake south of the town, Raven is struggling to keep his balance. He collapses against the trunk of a tree gasping for air in the freezing weather. In front of him, just out of reach of his foot, is his journal.] Swear I left this thing on the table... [His voice is barely heard as he slides down the trunk a little further, eventually his foot is it's just in range for him to kick book over.]

Hey guys... anyone... This old man could do with a little help, it kinda hurts. I don't know where I am, it's got some trees... snow... I think... [He moves slightly to get a better look at where he is.] Yeah lots of trees. I think that might be a lake over there somewhere, I don't know it's really, really cold and I'm... gettin' awful sleepy.

[There's a long moment of silence as Raven just sits in the snow back against the tree trunk once again, flicking through the journals pages as he tries to stop himself drifting into unconsciousness. He eventually mutters something just barely audible before throwing the open journal down next to him.]

I thought people weren't supposed ta remember these things.

...[He's got nothing to say on this. He's been in conflict with himself for some time to give a proper response]

[crisisrain]

Do you want to change?

[fallenambitions]

...Nothing had changed, just my methods.

[crisisrain]

Even though ya know what you're doing is goin' to put the world itself in danger. Even though ya know yer gonna die because of this, after everything you once believed in. Yer really goin' through with this all huh boss?

[fallenambitions]

I already have. [Therefore...]

[crisisrain]

... [That not what he wanted to hear.]

[fallenambitions]

...Moments away from death before I awoke here.

[crisisrain]

I could've saved you ya know. Stop Flow would've bought you enough time to move out of the way.

But I didn't and do you know why?

[fallenambitions]

Tch, enlighten me.

[crisisrain]

[He breaks away from Alexei and using all the strength his got left, delivers a sharp left hook to your face.]

Because without you around, my life ain't that pitiful anymore.

[fallenambitions]

[Ow, well he knocked him good, but not enough to make him fall over]

...

[crisisrain]

[Fuck this is kind of intense.]

If anyone here is gonna kill you. It'll be me.

[fallenambitions]

...

It should have ended then and there, but my death has long been delayed because of this place.

[crisisrain]

Welcome to the club, my death is 10 years overdue because of you.

[fallenambitions]

Well if you're so desperate to die, I could fix that for you. [And all of that hardwork to save his "friend" gone to waste]

[crisisrain]

Ha I'd like ta see you try. You know how death works here, I'll be back in a week.

[fallenambitions]

And suffer a penalty.

[crisisrain]

Oh but the penalty I'd be gettin' would be no where near as bad as yours. Kill me and all that lovely effort ya've put into laying low goes out the window. Yer the bad guy, though I'm sure you would enjoy being branded amongst the likes of Yuber and Kefka. Those little buddies of yers will turn they're backs on you knowin' you're a killer. Not just in this world, but in Terca Lumireis too.

But me? Heh if I kill you, there's no worry. I've got Brave Vesperia to fall back on.

Who do you honestly have, Alexei Denoia?

[fallenambitions]

...[You know, it really hurts when he's right. Thanks, you really hit the spot with that. It only angered him more that he had to hear it from Raven. He almost goes for his sword, just so he could charge at him but instead he snaps at him.]

I don't need you to explain my predicament! You've all done a fine job already, telling others of my past. Perhaps that is what I want. To die and maybe then I'll find some peace from this wretched world, even if it's only for a short period of time.

[crisisrain]

I'll be more than happy ta keep killin' you until you end up as a vegetable.

[fallenambitions]

I'm sure you would be. Why don't you just start now?

[crisisrain]

I'd love to but uh, kinda half-concious here and un-armed.

[fallenambitions]

Ha, of course you are. And to think, I could have just left you out here for one of your friends to find you. I don't need this from you.

[crisisrain]

So why did ya come for me? Yer not the kind of person to just do somethin' out the goodness of your hea..

I can't even finish that, there is no goodness in yer heart.

[fallenambitions]

...Hehe. If that isn't the case, then I don't know.
