heromedal: (Oooooh no.)

Memory Sharicus - Oh No, not again!

About 8 am on July 15th, Rex does something stupid in his usual genius way. It was meant to be a small, simple test run of a method to scan a person and instantly gain all the data he needed to produce a Phantom.

The small field the spell was meant to spread just kept growing, until popping like a bubble with the most counterintuitive sound of all- two seconds of white noise, sounding as if it was coming from inches away. Not everyone heard it. But everyone who did...

It's a painless process, almost ticklish and instantaneous as numerous coloured orbs fly out from their chest, taking wild curving trajectories that launch them all over the academy and some of Soleil, coming to a sudden stop and hovering silently for just a few seconds.

That's when they start to slowly float towards the nearest possible recipient of the memory they contain, accelerating as they get closer as if thought and mind have a unique sort of magnetism.

It's sort of beautiful to see, really, not that Rex will notice because 60% of his mind is consumed with fear he will get into trouble and the Phantom project will be compromised. On the other hand, the Phantom project could provide the perfect scapegoat. So about six hours after the initial event, he released his latest creation- the Phantom mischief-maker, Waggery!

What a disaster.

I...saw you.

[She can't look at him yet.]

In...a dream, or a memory, perhaps, I-

[She covers her mouth.]

-should go.

Uh-

[Well. This is awkward. He's not going to force her to stick around, which she seems so upset.

So he nods, slowly.]


Okay. Take care of yourself.

[She gathers her things in record time and is almost out the door when something grips her chest. Some weird combination of fear, anger, and guilt for feeling the way she does.]

Hieke. Why did you change?

[He deserves a chance to change her mind right now, even if her heart is beating a mile a minute and her muscles ache with the desire to run away. Even if this experience has put her mind back to a time when she was small and vulnerable.]

[Well, that explains that. He presses his lips together, thinking about it for a moment.]

It's...

[He sighs.]

I decided it was better to help people instead of hurting them. I gain more that way. I cause less suffering.

I don't know if that's a sufficient answer, but...it's the truth.

[Which is, of course, a lie.]

Is it?

[She doesn't think it is. No daemon just has a change of heart. No daemon has a heart to change, she thinks, although later she will chastise herself for the thought. Angela hurries away before he can respond, unwilling to hear any answer he might have.]
