003: [VIDEO] DUEL THREE - "SKEWED PERCEPTIONS"; Forwarded to 11PM
[He'd passed out fairly earlier than usual from utter exhaustion earlier that afternoon, sleeping long into the night with little interruption. The oppressive atmosphere the Decaying Darkness placed on a mind like his was as heavy as the effects of pandemonium eating away at the City.
The deep shadows surrounding his bedside was absolutely still, the room silent. In his moderately lavish bedroom soaked with blue moonlight the Prince of the World of Toons lay sleeping on silk bedding, peacefully. Or so it would seem. The lace curtains hanging down from the canopy bed swayed gently. There was an ominous air about, even from what the video showed…A silhouette was cast overtop the sleeping Pegasus' head, elongated from the window as if some terrible beast lurked just outside.
"Grmmm…" Pegasus groaned unconsciously, his brow furrowing and his body tossing, tangled in the sheets.
There's a moment where he quivers and then hoarsely whimpers, moaning something inaudible beneath his breath.]
A-ah…Please no….N-not that…!
[He speaks in a way that suggests fright or even pain, his face contorting, until finally the peak of his nightmare seems to come to fruition, and he yells out:]
"Nooooooooooooooooo!"
[He sits up with a violent start at that, panting harshly, looking as white as a sheet. Pegasus' entire body is drenched with a cold sweat, his gasps coming in short, erratic bursts as his heart pounded. He clenched at his night shirt and the sheets around him as if for reassurance that he was still there in his bed, leaning over to fumble for the light switch. Instead of finding it immediately however he nearly topples out of the bed, righting himself at just the last second so that he flings off the blankets and lets his feet touch the floor.
His guts churned and twisted with the imagery that still flitted across his mind unlike any kind of dream, Pegasus feeling along the nightstand to help balance himself. He reached over and turned on the lamp, but…It was still dark. At least, from his perspective.]
Who…who turned out the lights? Gant? Is…the power off?
[A soft question as the switch seemed to be completely dead, leaving him in the opaque darkness. However, it's a curious thing to consider, given that anyone could see that the lights had not failed, but rather, something else had entirely…
His hands out stretched he searches for the sash on the window, pulling it open…But why? Why was there no light?
A tight squeeze of his fluttering heart makes him seem even more panicked than usual as he slowly makes his way to nightstand again and turns on a flashlight, clicking it on and off again a few times until he finally gets frustrated and frowns.]
Why isn't it working?
[Turning to face the screen his eye seems to be an unnatural murky blue, dead and pale with no reflection of light in it. He doesn't seem to realize this, instead getting even more exasperated and alarmed.]
Why…?! Why…!!
[The video ends abruptly there…Blackness greeting the viewer until nearly a half hour later the video streams again:
There's hushed crying in the background full of a terrible sorrow, such a pathetic and heart-wrenching sound really. To keep a little of his dignity intact his face is carefully hidden from view underneath his veil of hair, though it's clear he's the one that it had come from. He realizes he's being watched and quickly stifles himself to preserve a remainder of what little grace he has left, rubbing his unseeing grey hue.
He'd thought himself at his darkest hour when the Millennium ring bearer had come to steal his Eye, and possibly his life, in his weakened state, but this…This was simply incomparable. His head remains in between his knees, his arms wrapped around them and pulled in tight towards his chest, like a small, frightened child.
I tried everything. The lights are just fine. [Said a bit bitterly, his voice nearly breaking.] The truth is…I can't see. I can't! I don't understand it…Please, d-does anyone know a doctor?..I…I think I've gone blind.
[He tries his best to compose himself, knowing it was in poor taste to be so highly hysterical but…This was truly terrifying!]
((ooc: Basically, this follows the skewed perceptions plot from the Core Malfunction. Pegasus temporarily has lost his sight, allowing him to see through touch rather than through his actual eye.))
