Two ☼ Video

[Rose doesn't tend to use video or voice feeds, but this one is for a special occasion. The video feed clicks on to Rose...simply sitting in her room, a cup of tea in her hand, and nothing more. The bracelet seems to be sitting on a nearby table. There's a tenseness to her, though, a strange, tight-lipped look.

This lasts a few minutes, actually. It's hard to see, but she appears to be gripping the teacup so tightly that her knuckles are turning white.

She takes a long drink from the cup in her hand, draining it entirely, before setting it back down. She casts a look to the clock in her room. Four minutes. Not long now. She turns back to the video, leveling it down again with a gaze.

It's a hard stare. It's an angry one.]


Allow me to extend my gratitude to our ever-benevolent hosts, for their prompt consideration of my request.

I'm sure the purpose of your favor will be duly noted.

[She wants to scream and rage and make the entire city turn in on itself. She could do it. She knows she could. But her Seer's eye showed her such an outburst would be useless. No point in it at all, and it would just make things all the harder for her once she returns.

She will return. She'll be back before the day's over. It's not like she hasn't died before, and with the way her fate is slated, Rose doubts she'll even feel anything.

But the heat and the building pressure still makes her hands shake, and she folds them together even more tightly, eyes never moving from the camera on the video feed.

Five. Four. Three. Two. One.]


[It's like a balloon popping. One moment there was Rose- a pretty, blonde girl who couldn't be more than thirteen- and the next there wasn't. Just a loud, wet BOOM and all that was left was a bloody stump where her head would be. Her hands folded neatly in her lap. The white shirt she was wearing splattered red like a makeshift tye-dye or maybe a costume for Halloween. Blood and bone and gore painting morbid stripes through her cluttered room. Had she known she would have been putting on a show, maybe she would have cleaned it; not that it matters now, with the way it looks.

There's an eerie, dead silence as what remained of Rose Lalonde lurched forward and fell to the floor with a dull thud, before the bracelet mercifully cuts the feed.

Perhaps the gods thought their citizens had witnessed enough.]

(OOC: Housemates of Odin are welcome to barge into her room and handle any commenters, and you're all welcome to thread amongst yourselves; Rose left her door unlocked for this occasion.)

[Hey, isn't that...

The one who talked to her a bit upon arrival. Rose, wasn't it?

She doesn't seem to look good. Maybe she was another one among the stabbed people of the past days, but the surroundings don't give the idea of a hospital. Hanako is confused.

She hits the audio button when Rose finishes her short speech. She's worried, and that girl was nice to her so maybe it's a good thing to at least show concern.]


... Miss Lalonde, are you alrigh-
burntviolet: (What should I do?)

[Action?] 2/3

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-03-25 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
[And then it's happened.

Like in a horror movie, which by the way she'd never watch, Hanako witnesses the instant death of the Rose girl. It was so quick that the words that she wanted to speak istantly die in her throat as if she's being strangled by invisible hands. What... was that? Where's her head gone? Why is there so much blood???

And then Hanako's guts churn from the inside, and she drops the bracelet like it istantly burnt her skin, effectively turning the feed off.]

[Action] 3/3 TW for panic attack below

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-03-25 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Instant panic, hearting racing to the thousands. Hanako has fallen prey of her own body paralyzing, she can barely move her legs, struggling to find her way to the bathroom. Because dirtying the floor with her own vomit would be atrocious, and her brain at least concedes that.

She wobbles out of her room, quickly towards the bathroom. Good thing the one person who's suppost to share it with her is being idle ever since she was taken in this House, and nobody's in the corridor.

... There goes the lunch she'd eaten with Hisao earlier in the day.

After she's done, Hanako merely leans against the toilet's edge and cries warm tears, shivering and whimpering softly for a good while.]

[He'd just wanted to say Hi. He recognized her username from her comments on his first entry - she'd seemed nice and he just wanted to say Hello and thank her again.

Now? Her head had exploded, the video feed was dead and he was left sitting there, looking at other people's responses to the entry pile up. He saw Hanako's inamongst them and knew THAT wasn't good.

To his credit, he managed to keep his previously eaten lunch in check.]

....this is some kind of.... CGI prank, right? Special effects? Like in the movies? Hello?

[Moran has seen death before. By her own hand, even. She's seen plenty of gore through the lens of a sniper scope, and she can recognize the pulpy, thick crunch that happens when bone is shattered by an expertly-aimed bullet, when a human life comes to an end.

But not like this. Not turned into a spectacle, televised for all to see, when a girl she doesn't know suddenly ceases to be, without the click of a trigger being necessary. She's stopped thinking of Asgard as a safe place since the stabbings, but spontaneous combustion was still an impossiblity, or so she had thought.

Apparently not.

She's gone even paler than usual, her expression grim as she immediately shuts off the visual even before the feed cuts itself.]

[Oh god. Oh god. She's seen some truly morbid things in her short lifetime, but this takes the cake.

From somewhere within Sigyn comes a high-pitched shriek that doesn't seem to end.

[Oh lord she heard that short audio post getting abruptly cut off. Sorry Hanako, there's gonna be a Madoka pounding on your door. Lucky you're neighbors.]

Ikezawa-san! Ikezawa-san!
burntviolet: (Don't wake me up)

jfkdhkjf I hope Rose won't mind the spam

[personal profile] burntviolet 2012-03-25 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Sorry Madoka, but she will not answer to anything. Rather, she'll panic when she hears the pounding and hides her head in the pillow, but no noises come out.]

[Roxy stopped whatever it was she was doing once she saw Rose on the video feed. She knew instantly it was her, the same girl she saw in her dreams. Her 'daughter'.

To be honest she had been avoiding the girl ever since arriving here. Why? Even she wasn't really sure. Perhaps because she doesn't live up to 'Roxy Lalonde' that Rose knew. Or maybe it was that sinking feeling she got when Dave mentioned the passive aggressive arguments Rose had discussed with him.

What if Rose didn't like her?

She's no so sure that she could handle that.

[What is she even doing? Still watching the video feed, she scrunches her nose up, frowning. There is a difference between luckily avoiding someone and just plain out running and hiding from them, Roxy. The meeting between the two girls may be something they both simultaneously fear and wish for, but then can't put if off forever.

No time like the present, Lalonde.

[Taking a moment to fix her hair and apply a new coat of lipstick, Roxy switches on her video. Taking in a deep breath, she stares directly at the camera, determined to see this through.

..Although she is silent for a good thirty seconds. What should she even say? Perhaps she should just start off with a greeting, and take it from there.
]

Hello, Rose. [A small smile creeps across her lips]

[Suddenly there is blood everywhere. Why is there blood? Blink blink. What the fuck?

And then her brain finally processes what she just saw in that split second.

R-rose?

[This is some sort of cruel trick, right?]

[personal profile] tipsygnostalgia 2012-03-25 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[But no, it is no trick.

She can only sit there, a look or pure horror on her face as she watches the remains of her daughter's skull and brain matter sliding down the bloody walls, her mind replaying the event over and over in her mind.

She's as white as a ghost, and she feels sick. But the nauseousness isn't the only thing she's feeling, as anger begins to rise up.
]

What in the FUCK? [She doesn't even know who she is yelling at, but now that she's started, she can't stop. ]

Is this someone's idea of a SICK JOKE?! Who was it? The Gods?

Oh sure, let's splatter a girl's fuckin' BRAIN MATTER over the walls, that will be good for a laugh, Right?!

[Instantaneously she has no more energy left to shout. Her eyes are still fixed on the screen, tears rolling down her cheeks just like the blood dripping down the wall.

That urge to vomit is back again so she shuts off the feed, rushing off to the bathroom.

Unless your name happens to be Dave or Jake, don't expect her to answer your posts or let you into her room for the next hundred days :(

[When Rose starts talking about their hosts, Ichigo actually visibly blanches. No. No, this couldn't be happening, not again. He'd already watched one person die, they couldn't be doing this again-

And then her head explodes, and he recoils in horror, eyes widening. It wasn't as if he'd never seen anything horrifying-no, he'd had his share of sights that would cause most people to have nightmares for days on end. But it's just the fact that, again, the gods knew that this would happen before they did it, before they returned powers to the people who'd asked for them.

He can't-He can't just lie here recovering anymore. He has-he's got to do something, anything! Who cares about him when people are dying?!

So he's actively sitting up, wincing at the pain that shoots through him, but he doesn't care. He's going to get out of the room even if it kills him.]

Stay. There.

[personal profile] suppressthedark 2012-03-25 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
But-!

[Yeah and guess who doesn't care! He's still trying to get up, although the pain is now clearly showing on his face.]

I can't just lay here and wait-!

Perhaps these Gods are not so pathetic after all!
timegame: (Where can I go)

[personal profile] timegame 2012-03-25 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aradia's seen her own share of deaths. By now, she can even appreciate the aesthetics of them a little, depending. That doesn't make the fact that Rose probably knew what was going to happen and went ahead with using her powers anyway. That doesn't change that there are people here- people and trolls alike- who will doubtless not take well to seeing something like this happen.

Because if the Seer of Light can't see the path, the choices out of a mess like that, as well as the one they're all in, what hope do any of the rest of them have?

She watches until Rose's body falls, and when the camera shuts off, she stands and makes her way to her door. She pauses there a second, not quite sure what she should do despite the thousand and one courses of action running through her head. The worst part is that she can't just try all of them until one sticks anymore- not that she really would, regardless. In the end she settles for opening the door and heading downstairs to find cleaning supplies. Maybe she can at least get Rose's room cleaned up before anything else, just so that no one has to deal with the sight and the inevitable smell for too long.

Then, perhaps, she'll throw what remains of Rose a nice corpse party.]

[So a second case of head explosions has appeared. It's gruesome, but ??? watches the feed with some amount of indifference only because he doesn't know Rose. His focus is more on the keyword "request" in his search for a connection to the other case.

Nonetheless, he'll be waiting to see if Rose reappears or not.]
sicarius: (Verso il basso)

not here;

[personal profile] sicarius 2012-03-25 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Another one. Why is there another one. This can't be happening, something has to be done-

And then her head explodes, Ezio closing his eyes and wincing afterwards, unable to say anything at all. She was just a girl, just a girl. Did they have no mercy? None?? The Italian can only take so much, from seeing just one suffer from internal bleeding.

Though nowhere near Rose, not even knowing her, he still wishes she didn't have to die like this.]


Requiescat in pace.
