Time of Dying
A Hagi story based off the song "Time of Dying" by Three Days Grace
Aldedron: You know, you guys are calling me crazy, but I think this is a GOOD crazy. I mean, this is harsh, but constructive criticism. It helps me improve…
Serin: That makes you sound VERY pathetic
Neles: *giggle* *taunting chant* Pathetic, pathetic!!
Aldedron: *frown* I'm not even gonna ask…
Saya: Ask what?
Aldedron: You're in my mind, so shouldn't you already know??
Serin: *flatly* You're the omniscient one here, not us. We're the unwilling characters thrown into this twisted plot of an imagination
Aldedron: Wait, wait, wait. Did you just say OMNISCIENT!?
Serin: All knowing. Yeah. This IS your mind, after all
Aldedron: *pouts* Doesn't FEEL like it… If this was really my mind, I'd be able to make you lot shut up and leave me alone
Serin: But then there'd be no one to criticize you
Aldedron: … … You make that sound like a BAD thing
Serin: *sigh of exasperation* You know, YOU'RE the one who started off this conversation saying the voices in your head were a GOOD thing
Aldedron: … … … … I fail to see your point
Serin: *eye twitch*
The train station bustled with activity. People rushed from train to train. It was almost like everyone was late, even though the trains weren't actually going anywhere anytime soon. None were scheduled for departure for another hour or so.
Hagi sat patiently on a bench, reading more papers Joel II had given him before he left. He wore a customary black suit with a thin blue bowtie. His hair was unbound and shoulder length. A cello case lay on the bench seat beside him at easy access. Most people ignored him, busy rushing to trains that wouldn't leave for another hour or five. It was like all the humans in the building had high blood pressure while he had low. That was the difference in their attitudes and auras. But he could no longer be considered human, anyways, so this difference further emphasized the fact.
A familiar heartbeat entered his hearing range, standing out from the crowd of humans. For this wasn't ningen (ningen means human, by the way). It was a Chiropteran Queen. His Queen. And he was her Chevalier. He stood, setting the documents on the cello case as she came into view. She was so beautiful, even though her hair was bound, unlike usual. Her pink dress was simple and thin in comparison with her usual attire at the Zoo. He missed her previous look, but no matter how she dressed or put up her hair, she would always be stunning to him.
"How long until we board the train?" she asked regally.
"We can board now, if you wish, but it won't depart for another hour," he informed her immediately, although expressionlessly.
She started towards the platform and Hagi took that as her saying "Let's board now". He grabbed the cello case and followed after obediently.
Aldedron: You know what? Screw this! From now on, I'm ONLY doing third person!!
Serin: It's about TIME you made a decision!
Saya: It was getting kind of hectic
Seras: This chapter was third person omniscient
Serin: Yeah! First, you do first person, then third limited, and NOW you're doing omniscient?? Make up your mind, lady!!
Aldedron: *frown* I was expecting some support but this is just INSULTING…
Neles: *giggle* I like pumpkin pie!!
Saya: It's September…
Aldedron: We went shopping today and got pumpkin pie. That's why she's saying it
Saya: But it's SEPTEMBER
Aldedron: And? You make it sound like it's relevant
Serin: Saya doesn't know what a freak your family is
Aldedron: Oh yeah! I didn't make Saya up. I.G. Productions did!
Saya: Your family is a freak…?
Aldedron: I had to get this twisted mind from SOMEWHERE, right?? Most of the crazy stuff's from my mom's side and then I get my intelligence from my dad! I'm also fourteen and have already gotten a couple gray hairs… because of my dad…
Neles: Ha-ha! I'm twenty thousand and I'm BLONDE! Ha!
Serin: That also makes you a freak, Neles. Vampires are supposed to only have white hair and you're BLONDE
Aldedron: Yeah… it's 'cause I modeled Neles after my friend Ceresa. She's blonde and can act like a blonde, but she's also extremely smart and has a 4.0
Serin: Which is where "work-mode" and "Neles-mode" came from. Wasn't Ceresa going to prank a choir concert??
Aldedron: Yeah! It's really elaborate, too! She wants to get some of the choir people to join her and sing a Pink Floyd song instead of the programmed song. At least I THINK it's Pink Floyd…
Serin: The point is that she's gonna prank her own concert
Saya: Wow… that IS elaborate
Aldedron: Yep! My friends are freaks and I'm proud of it:)
Lulu: You notice how OFF TOPIC this conversation has gotten??
Aldedron: Oh! Oh!! This sentence right here is the beginning of page thirty one in Word! Oh yeah!! I've broken the thirty page marker!!
Serin: But you don't CARE about the thirty page marker. It's the fifty page marker you give a damn about
Aldedron: Yeah, yeah, whatever. I was just saying it to alert people to how far I am
Lulu: *flatly* If you're trying to brag about how far along you are, then shouldn't you be writing longer chapters and moving on to chapter eleven??
Aldedron: … … … …
Lulu: You notice how she's not answering the question??
Aldedron: *finishes gulping down a two liter of diet coke* Ah… That was good. I was getting really dehydrated and needed a drink
Lulu: Where did THAT come from!!?
Aldedron: *shrug* Uh-duh-know. Now go away! You're distracting me from writing chapter eleven!!
Lulu: Excuse me, I'M distracting you?? You're the one who drank a two liter of diet coke to get out of answering a question!
Aldedron: And you're still taking up my time
Lulu: … … *grumbles complaint * Fine, fine. Just write the next chapter already!!
