Nineteenth Prophecy: Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend [Video]

[The feed switches on. Raven is sitting by the lake, staring at the water. The sun is setting behind the horizon. It's almost completely gone. Perfect date setting. Raven talks quietly as if someone was there with her.]

It's the first time you've ever stood me up, Harry. [A slight smirk.] ...And I can't even blame you for it.

[She picks up the PCD and looks just as impassible as always.]

For those who knew him, my boyfriend, Harry Potter is not here anymore.

And it seems that Spike has been sent back too. So if anyone else needs something to bleach their hair, just ask me. I'd hate to see the solution I prepared for him go to waste.

[And she cuts the feed. See Rei? She's learning. It doesn't hurt any less but at least she's getting better at hiding it.]

[Private video to Horst]
We could meet tonight at the bar? If you need to feed. Or whatever.

[She almost says 'I'll see her again' when she realizes how selfish that would be in the face of Raven and Harry's different worlds.]

Mm. Thank you. And if you want to get together sometime, to have something to do, I think it'd be nice.

I know he is. [He manages to get to her heart. It takes some rare qualities to manage that: like an incredible amount of patience, trust, faithfulness and love.]

Do you play chess, Sokka? [She used to play with both Alice and Harry and now they're gone.]

Longer than I'd like.

[Can you hear that eye roll. Too bad Jinx isn't in any shape to fight, or else she might run with the provocation.]

And why should I be happy? Since when do I compare myself to some idiot do-gooder who's so static I could puke.

I'd like that. [A small smirk.] You still how me a spar.

[A pause.] You know... I've kept that recording on that day at the lake. [When you sneaked upon them and outed them.] I think I owe you thanks after all.

The feeling's mutual, then.

[How reassuring to have someone who plays the part. Even if it's the archnemesis part, it doesn't matter.]

Because you can't refrain from gloating about your Evil Morning Sunshine everytime we talk? [So much sarcasm when she says that name.] ...At least I'm not static when someone tries to beat me up. Nor begging for him to hurt me more. [You're sick and she's insane, you should get along just fine really.]

We can do it soon. Just tell me when. I want to.

And I'm glad you have it to remember him by.

[ Just your friendly drive-by stranger offering her condolences. ]

It never truly stops hurting, but you seem to have a lot of people there to support you right now. You're lucky.

[Romeo and Juliet, of course. Sometimes Raven tends to forget Juliet is really the same person as the heroin from Shakespeare's story.] I wished he'd stayed. But I knew this was bound to happen. We knew it from the start and chose to take a chance at it anyway. So I can't complain now.

I'm... becoming less and less sure this is the Animus doing.

I guess so... [Raven's cursed. Since she was born. Hearing someone she doesn't know call her lucky feels a bit weird.]

Have we met before?

We haven't. Saotome Haruna, or Paru if you prefer.

Maybe next week. If the next event is as harmless as the previous was. ...I wouldn't want to make it too easy for you. [Or too hard. Her feelings are suppressed right now but she knows she'd be rough if she sparred with Usagi today.]

I have a lot of things to remember him by. [But this is one of the sweetest... in retrospect.] We could watch it together one day. [Raven knows Usagi likes watching old recordings of Mamoru, so maybe she'd like that.]

Oh. ...You did talk with Riku then.

Raven.

[She'd say it's nice to meet you but given the circumstances...]

[ She understands. ]

Sorry we couldn't meet under better circumstances, Raven-san, but I couldn't not express my sympathy after hearing that. I hope things get better for you soon.

Let's get one thing clear, Crow. I never beg. Not to mention I fight back. [Right now, he's in worse shape than her, though.] I just heal at a normal rate.

[And on a cattier note...] He's my Morning Star, by the way.

[Does the banter make you feel better, Rae?]

Thanks, Haruna. I appreciate that.

[And then something occurs to her... Yes, she's being pretty slow today and she quirks a quizzical eyebrow.] Do you know of a boy called Ranma Saotome?

... Eh? Ranma? Unless he's some long lost brother I never knew about, then I don't think we're related.

I you say so, Pinky. [Raven snorts softly. Well being a half-demon has to have some perks, right?] Fast self-healing or useless black claws, you can't have both.

[There's a pause before she said in her most deadpan way.] You realize you just managed to make it sound like Lucifer has freshly arrived from Ponyville?

[Like you can't even imagine. But she'll never admit it.]

Edited 2011-08-29 10:08 (UTC)

It's unlikely. Ranma's an only child. But since you have the same family name, I thought I'd ask.

Saotome isn't an uncommon family name in Japan, so that's probably the case. Now you've got me curious though.

He's a nice guy. Great martial artist too. [But don't tell him Raven said that, he'll brag even more.] He spends a lot of time hunting in the wastes, though. [And Raven doesn't get to see him often. He probably hasn't seen that post either, or he'd certainly have contacted her by now.]

I'd like that, if you want to.

I'm sorry about spying on you that time, though. I got carried away.

Definitely not from my family then. But I'll keep an eye out for him since he sounds like an interesting guy. So thanks for the heads up.

I do.

[A slight smirk.] That you did. But I guess I did to... Throwing you into the lake like that. So we're even.

You're welcome.

Are there people from your home world here right now?
