[a man appears on the Plane; he is young, but his face is lined with anxiety (marred, here and there, by very thin scars, easy to miss if one isn't looking), and there is the faintest hint of silver in his pale brown hair (straight, falling almost to his shoulders)]

What is this?

[his wand is out in moments, of course, yanked from the makeshift holster beneath his long dark robes (a bit tattered, a bit worn); it looks like a smooth branch, save for the sparks erupting from the end]

Whoever is behind this, you should know I don't break easily, and you'll very likely be worse off for trying. [his voice is even and quiet, almost polite, but it is also hard, and determined; his eyes dart this way and that, his stance ready to shift in an instant]

Now stop toying with me, I have work to do.

Good LORD do they need hugs. >_<

By your reasoning, sir, it would be better were we not.

*GIVES MORE OF THEM*

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

...Why?

*throws Len into an angstbucket* orz

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

Our country- no, perhaps even our entire world- considers my si- Rin to be a great evil. At her command, I have done...things I would have not otherwise. But there is no one else who remembers who she was, before she was queen. No one else who would sooner see her smile than frown. I expect it would be the same for me, had I been chosen in her stead.

Remus: *carries it around protectively?*

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[frowns] Was she...a better person, before?

Len: *aaaangsts everywhere*

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

[Smile] Yes.

Remus: *catches it in the bucket*

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[slight, sad smile] Then there must be...potential, there. She's still the same person.

XD

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

She is, but she also is not.

He does that with Sirius Angst

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[slight nod] So find the part of her that is. Remind her. Make her see.

WELL. Sirius and Len wind up in a similar way! ...except Sirius' end doesn't involve a dress

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

[Slight smile, shakes head] I see her as she is to me, and the world sees her as she is to them. She is still the sister I have always cherished- but already there is too much blood on our hands to turn back to the way things were.

No, just a curtain

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[softly, distantly] You can never change things back. [and he, too, shakes his head] She could still be something different, though. Something that...lives up to how you see her.

At least he doesn't have to wear it. 8D

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

Rin will always be the same to me, no matter how many things happen. We are... one and the same. Twins. Nothing will change that.

This is true. XD

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[after a moment, carefully] Then...don't you have a responsibility, for what she does?

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

I am simply her servant. The queen does as she so desires. For good or bad, if it is her wish, I will do as she chooses.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[quietly] And you couldn't be more if you tried?

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head] I have no desire to.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Even though she's doing bad things.

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

As am I.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

And you're all right with that?

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

[Oops, that impassive expression is back again.] So long as she is happy.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[notices, and looks sceptical in turn]
