5; ghostbuster; read between the lines; look out he's wearing make up

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know a place that's away from civilization and has a lot of mirrors or a lot of water?
five days
[The camera settles on his back; at this angle, his face is a sliver of cheekbone and chin and temple, all shadows and highlights. The room he's in is small, and spartan; his green uniform is the only color in it. Barely visible past him is a mirror and one hand, which holds a paintbrush. He pauses, then draws the thin tip of the brush under his cheek.]
i see you
I heard there was a ghost who likes mirrors and I want to speak to her. Mirrors and water, pretty things, you know? Maybe I'll give her a ring. She put up a video and I want to speak to her properly. Put her at peace, you know?
what are you waiting for
[He pauses again, tilts his face and draws the brush over his eyebrow.]
coward coward coward coward coward
And you're wondering what I'm doing with my face, right? They used to say, on my world, that the best magi were the ones who painted their faces to honor the gods. I want good luck on this; I'm doing it now, while I'm talking, because...well, it's a bit tricky. I keep on painting circles instead of lines. I was hoping that talking while I did this would help me concentrate. Good luck is always good, right? Red for truth...or red for promises? I can never remember.
you are going to die
[And he turns to the community at last, his face painted with elegant red designs. He smiles thin, nervous.]
life, hope, dreams, where do they go? does it matter?
Community, talk to me while I wait for a hop, please. Calm my nerves?

[[young!Kefka's trying to lure Samara out and end the ring curse, either by getting her angry enough to go at him here or by luring her out in an area with lots of water/mirrors. SURELY THIS CAN'T GO WRONG.]]

Rings... rings...

I know her.

[Cefca spins his brush in a circle; perhaps, if one looks closely, one can see a ring forming.]

Sing a song of sixgil for me, then, I'm all ears and no mouth these days.

[darklycharming.livejournal.com]

I don't sing on command.

pretend it's a guy singing in the video |D;

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I do!

O my princess, my beloved, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohp9KQ7KcLE&feature=related)
Though the arms of life do guard
I'll search for my love in spite of above
the gods who make all things hard!

I'm the starlight, you're the darkness
upon whom I long to shine.
Through hours of despair, I offer this prayer
To you, oh planet mine.

See? Now, doesn't that make you feel like talking about rings?

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Mr. Palazzo, please be careful!

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Pearl. I'll do my best! Once things are over, I'll contact you as soon as I can!

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll be rooting for you!

[madeitsquare]

I'm late, huh?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

To visit? Yes, but there's always afterwards.

[madeitsquare]

Couldn't you have just stayed put and not ran off to look for cursed ghosts or whatever this is all about?

enjoy the lack of evil while it lasts

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I can't do that! As long as the ghost is around, the community's in danger! My world's in danger! Everyone's in danger! I can't allow that to happen!

[voicewhichcalls.livejournal.com]

What should you like to speak of, monsieur?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Ghosts of a murderous nature who make rings. And worldhops!

But for things of a more mundane nature, I enjoy discussing opera, sewing and warfare. Are any of these to your taste?

[littlemissaria.livejournal.com]

Is...is everything okay?

I'm not sure you'll find many mirrors away from civilisation...water, though, that's pretty easy to find. Is there some sort of island you could get to?

[She has no idea what's going on or whether she should even be offering such advice, but she's kinda freaked out and as usual defaults to "must help"]

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I'm fighting the curse. It's the only thing I can do! I'm not going to let a ghost terrorize me! I refuse to be terrorized!

An island could work very well! If I had time, I'd go to Triangle Island, but I don't. Although the idea of her meeting an intangir is an image I'll treasure. And...I think I"m alright otherwise. Mostly.

[Liar.]

[littlemissaria.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, that's...is there anything I can do to help? I mean, I don't have any expertise in ghosts or curses or anything but there must be something. [Like hell is she going to sit and feel helpless about two people she cares about if she can help it]

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Is this because of that curse?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

It is. I want to try and stop it before it infects more people.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I hope it works. That curse sounded terrible.

[fromawell.livejournal.com]

NO

asdakj;a THAT ICON ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'm so scared. I'm shaking in my stylish yet affordable boots.

What are you waiting for, coward? No Mommy for Samara, poor thing, so why not deal with Daddy?!

[Operation Piss The Ghost Off: commenced!]

[fromawell.livejournal.com]

[... okay she's definitely looking for him now]

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

You're such an idiot.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

And you did my mother last night too, I know. Do you have anything interesting to say?

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Someone willingly calls you their child? Color me surprised.
