[Video]

[Elaine had set her device to record like a video camera, but in her excitement hadn't realized that she had set it to transmit to the whole Mansion. Her room is dark, at first.]

[There's a slow exhalation of breath that can be heard from Elaine, next to the camera, as the room slowly starts to fill with green light. The source of the light is a small glowing orb that grows brighter each second, but stops before the room is properly lit.]


I did it. Happy, Lucifer? [There's a touch of bitterness in her voice. She stands up from where she was sitting, reaching out her hand toward the orb. Two tendrils of light reach out like waves of mist, touching her hand. The orb, which really seems to be made of nothing but smoke, starts spinning faster.]

Mhairi, meet Wonderland. Wonderland, meet Mhairi. [The orb is still accelerating, until Elaine's hair whips around her face from the wind. Then everything falls into equilibrium, the orb still spinning, but the world around it no longer reacting.]

I've never been this tired before.

Mhairi?

Mm. [Elaine pulls a tall cardboard box from the closet, then flips it over and covers the orb with it. There's no more greenish glow, so she switches on the light, before sitting next to the communicator.]

I hadn't meant people to see that. Mhairi. It's a... planet.

What's a Mhairi?

[She glances behind her, at tall cardboard box that now covers Mhairi. It's frustrating how many people know about it now.]

A project. I've been trying to get it to work for a couple of days now, and I wanted to save it on the camera...

It's a planet.

It's tiny.

Don't planets have to orbit a central star or something?

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it's a matter of persepective.

Mm. [She leans back.] I'm providing light and warmth for it. I didn't get that part right the other times.

You created a planet.

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
The devil made me do it. [She looks half amused, half nervous.] Lucifer suggested making one while he was here, and... I found out a few days ago that he was gone.

Why are you unhappy?

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Am I? [She looks away. Yes, she obviously is.] Lucifer is my uncle. I look up to him a lot. He wouldn't be Lucifer if he didn't leave me.

Are you angry?

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...I am. A little bit. I don't know why.

If you asked me if he'd leave me, I'd say yes. So I saw it coming, I suppose, just... not so soon. Maybe I'm mad at the Queen. [She sighs.] Mhairi is... [She gestures vaguely, then trails off, unsure of what she wants to say.]

It's what?

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I just felt like I needed to make it. Maybe it's proof that I can, or it's just... proof that I don't need him. That I can still do this on my own.

...I have a responsibility to control my power. And I need to learn how. He said this would be a good way to learn.

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pretty.

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Is it? [She smiles. That cheers her up.]

It's beautiful, on the inside. I can feel it...

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Is there life?

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing sentient. Just animals, plants, insects... [She smiles again.] I never thought about how good it would feel, to be connected to so many living things.

[Rei's quiet for several moments, thinking about this.]

Are they part of you?

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's more like I'm a part of them. [But now she's getting into a topic she'd rather not discuss: how fragile and vulnerable Mhairi actually is.]

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
How long will it live?

[identity profile] demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
As long as I can keep it alive. I don't know for sure. But it seems like it's doing well enough, so far.

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Will it hurt when it dies?

[Video]

[identity profile] notursalvation.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
That's...really something.

[identity profile] timisnotme.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
But it's in a box.

Wait, are there things living on that little ball?
