❝A foolish dream of . . .❞
Characters: Jade (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fonicartestry) and The Computer.
Location: The Computer's Room!
Time: It's popping up on random television screen, so no one may know.
Summary: Q&A with a computer!
[The clip opens on a room with tight, thick walls to keep them contained. All that is in the windowless room of unknown place or make is a chair, a desk and some sort of computer-like device. The chair is comfortable enough and implies the character can take all the time needed to stare at the words now lit up on the screen.
There are no buttons this time or keyboard. Instead, there is a small microphone settled in front of the screen, waiting.
The screen reads as follows:]
In the end, everyone has a price. What is your price, Jade Curtiss?
[When Jade's head clears, he doesn't seem that bothered. Being excessively trusting hadn't backfired on him terribly, yet. He takes the seat (no one begrudges a comfy chair) and looks at the question.]
[It's easy to deduce what they mean. What would they need to offer him to get him to put everyone else through this. He considers carefully. Even now, he knows better about the dead. His price is neither Nebilim nor Luke.]
[Then Jade considers. The Necromancer's price must be the living. They're all safe, though.]
[Something occurs to him. The one thing that he doesn't have and perhaps has no hope of ever having. It's very stupid, though, and it irritates him enough to make him frown. It isn't worth putting Luke and Tear through this, so it can't be his answer. What annoys him is that he even thought of it.]
[He decides to go for the big offer, even if he already has it. With a callous shrug, he says,]
Auldrant's safety.
[The clip ends.]
