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

[feel_nevermore]

[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.

He's been sent back to his world.

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

What makes you so sure he won't come back?

voice;

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I don't know about that. He might come back anytime. [He just won't remember her.]

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

Then be more optimistic.

[This is Jinx's way of saying "there, there"]

voice;

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles softly, it sounds a bit bitter.] How long have you known me already? I thought you'd figured I didn't know how to do that.

[And she has no reason to be optimistic, nor pessimistic... It's just how it is. There's nothing she can do to change it.]

But you should be happy. Now you're the only one of us two who has a boyfriend. Or something close to that at least.

[Sorry, Jinx. Although, deep down, Raven senses your concern, she can't help but being cold. As if she wanted to provoke you into coming here and fight her.]

voice;

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

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.

voice;

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

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.]

voice;

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

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?]

voice;

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

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.]

voice; 1/2

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

You say that like I have a choice in the matter. If looking more human meant a faster recovery period? I'd take both the perks.

voice; 2/2

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

[And then suddenly, there's a break in her sarcastic, bitchy demeanor.]

If Lucifer was from Ponyville, I would marry him and go live happily ever after in his home world.

voice;

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[Raven quirks a quizzical eyebrow.] Really now? I always thought you loved those claws...

[Aaaand she's just gonna stare at you with that appalled look on her face for a moment.] If you did, I'd buy you a one-way ticket and a wedding present. [That's what people must mean by gothic lolitas... They like chains, whips and... ponies. And to think Beast Boy calls her creepy.]

voice;

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

They're an acquired taste.

[Have a dreamy sigh. Yeah, she's still a little stuck on the image of Lucifer and unicorns. Her brain is taking a short vacation...aaaand back.]

That wedding present had better be a coffee maker, by the way.

voice;

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I see.

Yeah, sure. Whatever. As long as you stay there. ...Although you'll probably have to switch to hot chocolate with mini marshmallows if you want to become a true citizen of Ponyville. [And put the word 'pony' everywhere in your sentences.]

voice;

[hexdontlie.livejournal.com]

I'd rather cut out my own tongue and declare celebacy.

[No coffee and hot chocolate with mini marshmallows? Now that sounds like hell.]

voice;

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Your love is not that strong after all. All your fans will be so disappointed.

[And if Raven had known hot chocolate with mini marshmallows were enough to make Jinx cut out her tongue, she'd have tried that long ago.]
