☀ VIDEO



[ from the recording, the noise boils out of the speakers in a torrent of shrieks and chanting and drums. impressions are almost shockingly crisp: the vaulted ceilings, torches leering from the dark, carved idols with all their spines and horns. figures flicker in and out of focus as the recording darts past—stripped bare, every one. well, it's only manners in a cult to go naked to a ritual sacrifice, isn't it?

E... saimu...



[ meanwhile, very clearly from the present— ]

No one is like me.

... So it mattered to them. How things were gonna turn out. It didn't matter to you.

They screamed when I stabbed them.

—what? How the fuck is that related?

[identity profile] deadliest6.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Do people scream if it does not matter if they die?

You looked rather terrified.
