Seven Shards of Flandre Scarlet | Glowfic Constellation

Shattered

With your fingernails, you scratch another deep furrow into the wall of the basement that has been your only company for so long. This is the third wall you've filled, now. If you still bothered to count, it'd be exactly one hundred and eighty two thousand, five hundred lines. Despite the pitch darkness, you can see every one clearly.

Five hundred years.

"FIVE HUNDRED YEARS!"

The crystalline shards of your wings shake and clatter against each other as you hurl a stone from the floor against the far wall, obliterating hundreds of marks in one blow.

So hungry.

So angry.

So lonely.

"LET US OUT LET US OUT LET US OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!!"

The scream echoes off the dungeon walls.

Remi said be good, be good and we'll be out eventually, just be good and everything will be okay, trust Remi…

Why would we want out? It's so nice down here, with the flowers and the tea parties and the birds and the sunshine and the games…

It's been too long, why would Remi let us out now? We're too crazy. Five hundred years and I'm all that's left.

You're held, paralyzed. The voices in your head war and clash. So hungry. So angry. But Remi will save you! No she won't, she's left you. No, Remi would never give up on you! Then why hasn't she come down here more than a half-dozen times in the past few years? Because she knows we're having fun, silly!

There's a pause. It's rare that there's a stalemate in your head for long. New voices always start up. But for some reason, this time they're slow to speak. Maybe five hundred years was long enough for you to start to heal. Maybe you've just broken so completely you can't break anymore.

You introduce yourself to the new voices you know are coming. You're Flandre Scarlet, a vampire trapped in the body of a twelve-year-old girl, and you went insane a long time ago.

That's why Remi keeps you locked up down here, so that you won't hurt anyone.

So that you can't eat anyone.

So that you can't see anyone.

You don't understand why she doesn't try to help you.

That makes you very, very, angry.

So, little voices in my head, what should we do about it?

Of course it's us, who else could it be?

Could have been... Many people!

Remillia Scarlet, our older sister and head of the house,
Sakuya Izayoi, the head maid with time powers,
That assistant Patchouli has around here... the bat-imp-girl-thing!
_{Hong Meiling, that Chinese door-guard who's always asleep,

Reimu Hakurei, if she's coming from her Shrine Maiden duties to beat up everyone again,

Marisa Kirisame the witch, for the same beating-up-people or to steal books,

_{Cirno the dumb Ice Fairy, if she got lost...

Any of the bunches of fairies that clean and stuff...}}

Or us!

Do please spare us and our host the list. Instead, compliment her, say we're ever so pleased to be sane enough to be allowed the chance to see her incomparably lovely face. I doubt we've ever complimented her in such a way, being - what are we, twelve? Charming. Regardless, she should be caught off guard for whatever the rest of the menagerie of the mad wish to do.

A Transient Voice

Lay off on the poetry, just confess love- always gets them to blink first. Then we go in for the kill.

Lord Occlus

whatever-you-call-it

Diaeresis

Now that's what I call a plan.

Shattered

Just confess love? That's easy!

"I love you, Patchouli-samaaaaaa!~"

"Yes, Flandre, I know. How did you even get here?"

Shattered

Ugh. I can't even tell if she's afraid beneath that awful smell.

Sigh.

Do you see now the value of poetry?

Shattered

Maybe she smells bad because of her name? Or maybe she got her name because she smells bad!

Lord Occlus

whatever-you-call-it

Diaeresis

That didn't work. Next time, listen to the suave one.

Shattered

Um. That totally didn't surprise her. Quick, someone give me something else to say!

_{_{I guess Rumia could float here...}}

Wait. What's going on?

Patchy! We kinda... Flew over the bookshelves?

Good behavior. But we require help to keep it up, it's so very difficult to act normal, could she be so kind as to help?

Shattered

"Patchy! We kinda... Flew over the bookshelves?"

You look around again, and then everyone starts talking at once.

"Where are we, anyway? Where's Remi? What are you doing? Do you want to play with us? Why do you smell so bad? What's the name of your library demoness again? Can you maybe help us talk better or behave better? Are we asking too many questions?"

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

"Um. Could you slow down a little? I'm not sure where Lady Scarlet is, but it's the middle of the day so she's probably asleep. This is the basic magical theory section. And while I might like to play with you, I'm kind of busy doing research, along with Koakuma... Though I guess now I have other priorities. Did you meet any fairies on your way here?"

Shattered

Okay, okay, slow down. Help me think here, please? And don't all fight over the voice?

Just let that one voice word things.

Word how we can be better so they stop putting us in the basement.

None of us want to go back.
