3rd Mirage | Accidental Video

[phantasmicblade]

[The video cuts in on Miria entering the church once again, having done some patrolling outside earlier. Her expression is fairly blank, but those that know her can see a twinge of irritation in her expression. All this time, and there was still nothing to be found about these murders. It's not until she steps further inside that she nearly drops her blade, but that is a definite tightening of her grip on the sword.

It's not a pretty sight.

One Pokeball lays clattered on the ground, the other five on his belt, as Rion stares up from the ground, lifelessly. It's obvious what killed him - there's a huge gaping hole where his left eye would be, like something massive just punctured right through it and through most of his head. Drying blood is still dribbling out the hole down his face.

The other eye stares up blankly towards the sky, as if searching for help that had never come. And like the others, his chest has been torn open for all to see, organs still intact except for his heart, which is nowhere to be found. Miria quickly sheathes her blade, inspecting the body, her expression unreadable. How someone could get inside and pull something off like this she didn't know, but -]

Damn it...

What happened?

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Another murder, it seems. And in a place it should never have happened in the first place.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Where are you? The church?

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Yes. The boy had been staying with me and one of my comrades for the time being - he supposedly felt safer here.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Shit..

Not safe enough, I guess.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Apparently not. Whoever did this knew about when we were going to be absent and planned accordingly.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Who else lives there with you?

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

Galatea, one of my comrades. There's also a strange silver-haired man that supposedly lives here as well, although I have not crossed paths with him yet.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Like that isn't suspicious as hell.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

According to Galatea, he's not a threat. And I trust her judgment.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

Good to know someone can still trust these days.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

If I didn't trust in my comrades, I would have been dead a long time ago.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

I just meant that it's hard to have faith when things are so bleak.

[phantasmicblade.livejournal.com]

There isn't much else that we can do at this point. Being paranoid about everyone and everything is only going to get people killed faster.

[tom-hanniger.livejournal.com]

I guess.
