Video | Failed lock to Tannusen

[Honest, swear! This was just supposed to be a private send. Really! No lying! He'd not even put in a ton of effort into making himself camera worthy today!

Which isn't saying much, the siren is usually more than just passably pretty whether or not he decides to dress up today. As it is today's outfit is literally just pajama pants. No hat, no vest or coat. Nothing but blue striped pajama pants, and the sound of water flowing in the back seems to suggest he's either got a tub running or this is somewhere outside.

Which, considering Kani, either could be true.

Hey Chief! I know ya still got that scale I gave ya. I don't see ya hang out when I'm on stage though, that ain't no fair! I gave that thing to ya fer you to use.

Ya better respond ta this too, I ain't puttin' on real clothes ta find ya right now.

[He's too busy being lazy.]

Promise, it won't mess ya up chief.

[That's the grand extent of the warning as he clears his throat, and sweeps in to a song.

It's... different than the others.

No sir, no mere suggestion, not an idle tugging at ones thoughts. The song, for those lacking in the appropriate defenses, would drag their listener into them.

The emotions would be powerful, overwhelming and seem entirely organic. The feelings of love lost, of longing, of missed opportunities. The sensation of a chance that was fumbled and lost, never to be regained, an echoing hollowness that would never, ever be filled.

Feelings of intense love, of sweetest rapture and a near dreamlike sensation of delight all intermingled with that sadness, bitter sweet, tender and tragic...

Lingering powerfully after the last notes of the sing died away
]

... Ya better thank me fer that, chief, I ain't used that voice in like a hunnered an' fifty years.

[ Cue Tannusen, definitely lounging around somewhere in the rectory going by the background.

And definitely amused, going by that grin. ]


You realize that was a public blast, right?

[ WHELP. ]

[He shouldn't have listened to this song. Max knows that now. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that shit. The emotions flood his heart and it hurts. It always hurts but Max has done his best to build a wall around that wound. He's tried to cauterize it with anger and apathy but this damn song rips it open anew. Sadness and loss wash over him and knock him over, literally. He grabs his chest and gasps as the song continues. Desperate longing for his parents attention and love hits him next and he grabs the phone. He hits reply.]

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUP THE FUCK UP!

[His voice cracks. He chokes on a sob and drops the phone. The phone clatters on the floor and small choked sobs are all Kani is going to hear.]

[He has no idea how powerful this siren is, but what he does know is that there's been a pull. Wisps of feelings he can't describe or hold onto, as they don't linger. He can't name them. It's really really strange.

But more importantly, the music is very nice. He applauds.]


Nice song!

[Okay, yep, he's familiar with that expression well enough.]

It's a setting. You just make it private by selecting that.

[At least he explains it, but he's somewhat disappointed.]

[Kani has stopped by the pain hasn't. It still hurts. His chest hurts and his head hurts thanks to the crying. He hates crying. It doesn't fucking do anything but make him feel worse. He sniffles on the other side and wipes his eyes on his sleeves. Max only knows how to deal with this in one way.

Anger.]


I hate you, you fucking idiot. What the hell were you thinking?! [Who knew a child could yell with that much venom in their words.]

Do you get some sick joy fucking with people's emotions like that?!

[Max almost feels the fear coming from the noise. Almost. The rage fights back and Kani stops so soon that the anger rages on. He listens as he pants, doing his best to breathe and not give into the temptation to cry more. He wants to be angry. He wants to be mad at this person who did this to him. The anger dies some though when he says he's sorry.

His parents never apologized. No one else ever apologizes when they do something to him. No one. Even Max doesn't apologize. Not really.]


Yeah well, you didn't. You didn't hit the right button and it wasn't private.

[A long pause.]

Oh like you really give a shit.

[He hangs up. This person doesn't care. No one cares. The hurt grows and he needs to find something to break and someone to make miserable. Just like he is.]

[Scale? Ted's first thought is the weighing kind. Was he making a fat joke? Was Tannusen on a diet? He didn't seem out of shape, last they'd met. Not that he really notices such things.

Then comes the singing. Those feelings are very, very familiar. They always lingered, always burned, if only an ember. Love and loss were frequent facts of life in Genessia, and it never got much easier to deal with.

But they were all brought to the surface, then, like an iceberg putting its immense size onto the surface for all to see.

Ted wept like a schoolgirl until only physical exhaustion arrested him. He responds very faintly, after a while.]


"Why would you use that voice at all? To what end?"

What were you trying to do?

Calling it an accident doesn't fix it.

I want to stop feeling like this on top of Castor wanting to rip out of my skull and eat your face for making me

Whatever. You don't have a fix, you don't have remorse, you don't have anything.

Well, now it's out, and it's fucked people up, and you can either face consequences or end up ruing your friendships and

[Ted would correct his memory were it not for his compromised state.]

You won't do it again, then?

[He's trying to sound stern, but there's a hint of desire there. Every moral, logical part of him is telling him to turn his back on something like that, yet he wouldn't mind hearing it again...]

[Acceptance and, though he'd hate to admit it, disappointment too.]

A-All right, Kani, you're forgiven. Have a, uh, good afternoon.
