006 [Voice]

[substrictus]

[Whether he realizes it's on or not, it's unsure, but the voice function kicks in over the comm device and there's a lot of paper crunching heard before Oz's small voice sounds nearby]

"I care nothing about a /thing/.."

"If you would have stayed in the abyss, nobody would have noticed you'd left..."

[A sigh and more crunching of paper]

...Don't these letters have any creativity?

"...You're a disgusting disgrace and your father should have disowned you"

"I wish you hadn't ever existed, you dirty brat.."

[His breath hitches and he crumples up another piece of paper and despite his tone, one can tell he's hurting more than he lets on]

It's funny. I didn't think so many people actually hated me this much....

...It does seem real though.

Things people would say to me.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry. And I don't know much about your situation, but I don't believe any of that is true. You aren't a thing, you're not a disgrace, nobody deserves to have that said about them. You must know some very unpleasant people... But Nobody deserves that, and getting some stupid letter doesn't mean what it says has any value.

...Eh? You think so? My father's said one of those things to me before..

That.. those letters really don't mean what they say..? Though I probably deserve it..

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

You don't deserve it at all! I really do think that, you don't deserve it. Everyone has been getting cruel letters like that, it's nothing you did. Nobody is out to upset you personally, they're trying to hurt everyone in the mansion, play on their insecurities... Ignore them. They're not true, not at all.

[A bit of silence follows before a small sigh sounds] All just lies meant to mess with our heads, right?

I didn't think the mansion would do this..

[Sounds of ruffling is heard in the background and he's glancing through more of the cold, hurtful letters wordlessly]

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

The mansion... Is being unusually cruel. Please don't be upset by it, it's not... It's very harsh, but none of it is real.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

...Aah... o-okay. I hope so..

[A pause and he then laughs softly] Though...

Maybe not all of them are cruel..

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

Ah? Did you get a nice one too?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. I just found it here amongst the others.

It's... from my little sister.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

That's great! Heh, what's your sisters name?

...Come to think of it, I haven't asked your name either.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

It's Ada. She's only a few years younger than me. I.. haven't heard from her in... a while so it's good to hear from her after all this time.

[A small laugh]

Eh? That's fine~ My name's Oz. What about you?
