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.

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?

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

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

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

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

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

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

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

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.]

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

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.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Are there people from your home world here right now?

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

Right now, only Negi-sensei is here with me, and the rest have just come and gone apparently. But he's better than no one, of course.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Oh. So... Negi's your teacher, then? [Still learning those Japanese honorifics of yours, people.] Is he still teaching you here?

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

Hmm, not really. It's been like three years that he's been here so that's probably the last thing on his mind right now.

[ He's busy with other "things" but she won't bring that up. It'd probably just bum Raven out even more. ]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he wouldn't refuse if you asked.

[Raven lets out a little sigh at that.] Probably, yes. He deserves the right to put himself first for once.

[Oh but Raven knows about the relationship between Al and Negi. And Negi has contacted her too anyway.]

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

Maybe some other time. I'm technically on summer vacation now anyway!

[ AKA never.

Well, it would be kinda rude to bring up someone else's relationship at a time like this. Plus she doesn't know Raven very well yet. ]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

I see. Those are supposed to end in September, right?

[Genuine curiosity, she's never been to school after all.]

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

Close to that. It's generally at the end of August--

[ ... Oh wait. Damn time goes by quickly here. ]

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

That's in three days.

[Video]

[graphices.livejournal.com]

... I'm sure an extended vacation won't hurt! Nyahaha~♪

[That girl... sounds a bit weird. Then again, Raven's just met her, so.] Probably not.
