1. [Video | Locked to Seelie // Video | Forward-Dated to July 15th]

[scramasax]

[There's a lad on the locket network. Long hair, green eyes, looks as if he hasn't gotten much sleep, which he hasn't, since the stars, and even less since the call to the chests, but otherwise he's keeping steady.

Eyes up the locket warily before speaking.]

Ah - greetings. I -- [Stops short with his mouth partly-closed. Backtracks into another bit of eyeing-up...] Is this - is this only, visible - to the Seelie Court?

I, er.

[Another glance - downward and back up. Just an on-the-spot fidget. Speaks up docilely, mildly.]

...I apologize. I had -- I had wondered. The -- Courts are in a state of war. Do the Seelie, have...

-- Scouts...?

Do we -- do we send people on patrol...?

Or -- are we never subject to attack without warning?

I ask as I haven't heard of any such thing. If - if the Shard-Holders are... to be the ones doing the fighting, then we ought to be supporting our own side in -- that way, as well.

[Not that it's his place to say shoulds, needless to say.] I would think.

Video of A Memory

It's a rather peaceful scene that appears in the locket. Woods filled with the sounds of nature and mushrooms that might make you grow or perhaps shrink. In the middle of these woods sits Will, waiting and clearly worrying over something that is beyond his control. This is a Will who still has his heart and still feels as deeply as anyone can who has found true love. A rustle of leaves and his excitement shows, only for his smile to fall as he sees who appears: The Queen of Hearts.

"Will Scarlet I presume?"

Their interaction doesn't last long, but her words have rebroken a heart that had nearly mended at the idea of being reunited with his love. Whatever hope he had was taken from him and the pain that he feels is simply too much. The idea comes to him in a flash. The Queen of Hearts alone has the ability to fix what she broke and so he asks:

"I know what you do. I know what you do to people's hearts; I want you to do that to me."

It's a request born of pain and desperation. Now heartless, Will is off to become the man he is in this world.

( massive tl;dr memory but at least it's not traumatizing )

text ;

[ a few hours later, she feels the need to add her own brand of commentary about something she hasn't thought about in eight years. she never forgot, but when the one person you try your hardest to hate was once the one person you wanted to impress the most, it's not something she actively tries to remember, even if that game of capture the flag had led to her father claiming her as his own after a month of waiting. it had led her down the path to embracing ares and becoming who she is today, but... now everything is just... complicated. ]

in case you were wondering
that was the symbol of the god of war, ares
that makes me his daughter
now you know

[ and, of course, she conveniently fails to mention anything about the majority of that memory being about luke. if she ignores it, maybe everyone else will too. ]
