leaf 011 [text; action for Goldenrod; past midnight]

Seven and Lotus are gone.

[Ten minutes pass before she texts another message.]

If you could contact one person from your world right now, who would it be, and what would you tell them?

[Private to Santa]

I've got an extra Eevee. [The last one had been given to June.] Want him?

[People who are out at this hour or who decide to go looking for a pink-haired girl will find Clover strolling toward the radio tower, obviously wanting some real alone time. Her long pink hair is down, so no pigtails tonight. That jacket is buttoned all the way up to her ribbon, and she has thrown a coat over everything. While she's still in a skirt, her legs are in pale pink leggings. Gear in hand, she just walks idly on, a downcast expression on her face.

There is much on her mind...not only Seven and Lotus' disappearances, but also Snake, her older brother. It felt like an eternity since she had discovered that he was gone. Probably three months, more or less? And she was beginning to miss him again.

Actually, she always missed him. She had friends in Johto, sure, but...no one could ever replace her brother.]

Of the people I've met who apparently came from my world, there wasn't a single person who was not at least ten years ahead of me.

You also already told me that.

Did they tell you anything else about your father's murder?
miniworth: (somewhere along in the bitterness)

[personal profile] miniworth 2011-12-20 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
They told me quite a lot. About Franziska's father, his motives, and his eventual plans.

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
...

With everyone agreeing on that...it becomes harder to assume they're just making it up. Unless you can prove they were all in cahoots and had some motive to deceive you.
miniworth: (to your right.)

[personal profile] miniworth 2011-12-21 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
And how would I know, right?

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-12-21 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

But hey, is your sister gonna learn law too? I'm guessing she will once she learns how to read, from what I know about your teacher.
miniworth: (with you all night)

[personal profile] miniworth 2011-12-24 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe so. She's only three years old back home, but the one I met here seems to have been studying law for a long time.

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Clover frowns, her own problems forgotten for the time being.]

If she studies law and what it's all about...I think she'd understand what's going to happen to her father if he really murdered your father. She'll be sad at first, but I think she'd learn - the hard way - that no one gets special treatment. Not even the greatest lawyers.

...in the end, it wouldn't be your fault. Assuming it's all true. Your teacher would have no one to blame but himself for doing what he did. He would be the one wrecking your sister's life, not you. You'd also be a victim. [Again, but she's sure he'd get her point. Sort of.]

... It would be simple if things worked that way, wouldn't it be.

It would be very simple.

[identity profile] 4leafcleaver.livejournal.com 2011-12-26 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Look, I never said it was simple. What I'm telling you is that you shouldn't blame yourself for something you're not even sure will happen. Or at least, something that might not happen the way you think it will.
miniworth: (見つめる鏡の中に)

[personal profile] miniworth 2011-12-26 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I cannot be sure it wouldn't happen, either.

[He looks away from her and shakes his head.] It's not even supposed to happen for another fourteen years, for me. It might not happen, or it might. If I know about it, I might be able to change something.

... But whatever it ends up being, it is going happen. It has to--or else a murderer, whoever it is, is going to walk off free. Even if it ends up being Manfred von Karma, or Yanni Yogi, or even me--whether it will affect Franziska's life or not, in the end, somebody has to take that responsibility. If it does end up being Manfred von Karma, though, it won't be just her father that'll be destroyed.

I know. That's why I was trying to catch a couple of criminals before I came here. They had to pay - and whoever...whoever killed your father has to pay. [Clover doesn't even want to think about the possibility of Miles killing his own father, even by accident.]

Losing a father who's committed a crime is gonna be hard even if it happened for justice, obviously. But that doesn't mean you can't...well, rebuild. Support your sister. Support each other, and believe that in the end, it was for the greater good.

[She sighs, her expression downcast.]

I'm sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense. You should probably talk to Junpei. He's dating the girl who had to save herself with a Nonary Game and commit several crimes in the process, and he probably knows that once we return to our world, she'll have to be turned over to the authorities.

[ACTION] thread with Clover!

[personal profile] miniworth 2012-01-18 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
[REST OF THREAD ON LJ]

Miles: But I'll be the one to tell her. [He runs a hand through his hair, sighing.] We'll see.

Clover: Have some faith in your sister. And have faith in yourself. Hoping that it all turns out all right in the future won't hurt, either.

Miles: ... We'll see, Clover.

Clover: Besides, who knows? She'd most likely be older then...which means she'll be a little different, and which means she'll react a little differently.

Listen, I understand how you feel, but right now, the only thing we can do is live one day at a time. I know it's hard when you've had so much of the supposed future crammed down your throat, but...it's still in the distant future. We can't control everything that happens and will happen, but we can do what we can with what we've got.

[Clover was supposed to be comforted here. Now she's trying to do some comforting on her own.]
miniworth: (手の中にはいつも飽きれた)

action!

[personal profile] miniworth 2012-01-18 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
[It makes him frown because he was supposed to be comforting. D-dang it Clover. Why you gotta be older.]

I'll... I'll do my best.
miniworth: (back at you.)

action!

[personal profile] miniworth 2012-01-21 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[No he wants to be the stupidly mature one.]

... Probably. People change easily, especially when something happens.
miniworth: (難しそうに腕組みして)

action!

[personal profile] miniworth 2012-01-21 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Then she will be mentally around the same age as Miles and Ken. :|b]

I don't think you'd be boring.
miniworth: (夢中で探し見つけたもの)

action!

[personal profile] miniworth 2012-01-26 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh Clover.

Miles looks a little bit thoughtful.]


This is a sort of normalcy for us, too.
miniworth: (疲れ顔で ため息一つ)

action!

[personal profile] miniworth 2012-02-02 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
[For once, he doesn't look like he minds this treatment.]

... What do you think of this, Clover? Living here.
miniworth: (涙の奥で溢れ出す力を)

action!

[personal profile] miniworth 2012-02-07 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
That's true, huh.

[He chews his lip in thought.] A lot of us... have things we have to go back to.

action!
