fifteenth feather [Video/action] - Doppelganger

[charcoalfeather]

[The video flickers to life, and it shows Rakka's face. She appears to be in Neuschwanstein. An odd sort of trend for people on the network recently, making posts while at the castle grounds. It was likely to not raise any particular warning signs, unless you know what this coincidence probably means.

Rakka brushed some hair from her face. It didn't help to improve her fairly disheveled look at all, and in fact might have made it worse. All in all, she didn't seem to be happy, or even smiling. Hey, was that a bruise?]

Hey, it's Rakka. [There just wasn't as much energy in her tone as usual.] It seems like everyone around here's been losing their minds. Apparently it means that there's clones of all of us running around... but, maybe it just means that things are getting even worse. In a way, that would make sense, right?

[But, honestly, she wasn't sure what was happening. She'd been thinking about what Emi had said to her, about her apparently showing the vampire some kindness. She wouldn't lie about that, would she...? What would she even have to gain, except for a moment's confusion on the Haibane's part which could be a little funny for someone else...]

Dammit... [She whispered with a sigh, expression quickly turning frustrated.] I don't fucking know. It's not like anything in this world makes any sense anyways. It doesn't even matter, does it? [A question that seems to bother her.] I'm trying really hard to figure that out... but I can't.

[And she kills the feed.]

Re: Real!Emi [Video]

[scarlet_devil]

Well, I don't see why not.

[A pause.]

You are not the Rakka I know, are you?

[charcoalfeather]

No, I don't think I am. The Emi that I know is much quieter, and she wouldn't ask this.

[Honestly, she had to shrug. This whole event was stupid and confusing.]

So, does your Rakka know what a "sinbound" is?

[scarlet_devil]

I don't think she's mentioned that before.

[Emilia's more concerned about the damage certain copies might do...]

[charcoalfeather]

Of course not. She must be so happy, living with all of her friends, not feeling like she's worthless every day.

[Rakka spoke through gritted teeth, looking almost about to snap... until her face softens.]

Well, it'll probably happen to her eventually. Just wait and see. Then you'll see just how happy she is.

[scarlet_devil]

I will not let that happen, and neither would any of her friends.

[Emi bristled, her wings showing her displeasure, and her determination. This is not someone who will give up easily.]

And so far, she's been happier than ever with her girlfriend.

[charcoalfeather]

[It was an utterly new look for the woman who was, and also wasn't, the person Rakka loosely called a friend.]

Is her girlfriend... Raye Satterfield?

[scarlet_devil]

Yes. And I expect my Raye acts in a way opposite to yours does...

[Which was not a pleasant thought at all.]

[charcoalfeather]

S-so, she's...

[kind]

Different? If she's the opposite, then she's weaker then my Raye.

[scarlet_devil]

If anything, she's hardly what I would think of as weak.

I suppose she's opposite in the way she acts.

[charcoalfeather]

...I can't imagine a Raye like that.

[One that is... nicer.

Loving?]

I can't imagine any of you existing. This has to be some kind of cruel trick.

[scarlet_devil]

She's a bit ill mannered, but a good person in the end.

[She would certainly like to find out who was behind all this...]

[charcoalfeather]

I hope so. If there's another Rakka, she doesn't deserve my life. No one does.

[scarlet_devil]

To see you like this, though... Do you have powers?

[charcoalfeather]

Powers...?

[scarlet_devil]

...Well. That would be no, then.

[charcoalfeather]

She has powers too?!

[scarlet_devil]

It's something to do with her friend and that strange tree that appeared one day...
