059 // oh snap, it's mirrorverse!Libby

[thatlibbychick]

Soubi, meet me outside my room. I have something for you.

And you, Saxon...you're next on my list. Don't worry. I'm going to make you better than you could ever hope to be alone.


((OOC: Libby was never forced into the mental hospital, never met Hurley, and never crashed on the Island. Instead, she threw herself into her work and was killed when she succeeded in "improving" one of her test subjects and they subconsciously wished her dead. She died of a massive stroke.

Sheep, feel free to have Soubi spam showing up at her door in the comments to this entry. It's just her making her mark on him as his "master." He'll get to be her attendant in the first log I put up. :3))

Try to lay a hand on me, and I'll bite it off.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm here to help you. You'll be able to accept that soon.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Only the Doctor can help, and YOU are not HIM!

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Shhh. Don't stress yourself out, dear. You'll need your strength.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

What I won't need is you. Go away.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

You do need me. You all need what I can do for you. I've helped so much I died for it. I came here so that I wouldn't have to stop...

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

No I don't, no I don't, no I don't. Why am I on your list?

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Everyone is on my list. You're just next in line.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

You're just another temptation.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I bring the very annihilation of temptation.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I'd rather eat you.

Bad, bad, drums talking.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

And I'll make that stop for you very soon.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

You CAN'T. Leave me alone, take me off that list of yours.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid that can't be done.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

All you need is an eraser, you twit!

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

[This is text, so he can't hear her slamming her fist on her desk and screaming this]

I DO NOT ERASE what Jacob has planned for me!

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Planned for you, not me.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Wait and see. You can't nullify his plans, either.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Only the Doctor can help. Only the Doctor. Stay AWAY.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Your lists are as worrying as Sam and Howie's 'law'.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm only here to help. Why can't you see that?

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

I can, but I spent a long time in my world thinking I was helping. I was not. I don't think.

I wasn't helping!

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

But I don't have to think I am...I know I am. That's the difference between me and you, and it makes all the difference in the world.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you need to listen to what other people say... I thought I knew. I didn't...

Please. No more 'lists'.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I know your fear. People always fear what they don't understand. It's okay, Swing, your turn is coming up very soon...and then you won't have to be afraid, because you'll understand everything.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

Look, look. I'm not afraid.

I'm a watchman, it'll take a lot to frighten me. But this is... insane.

BAD CHOICE OF WORDS DUDE

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

...You obviously need help, Swing, so I've moved your turn up a little.

I'll find you after I've improved Saxon.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

I have already got the help I needed, and it was in life...

...don't.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

If you didn't still need help, you wouldn't be here. That's where I come in.

[pleasesmirk.livejournal.com]

False imprisonment, on all counts.

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[There is a knock on Libby's door. Outside is Soubi, cell phone in hand. He's much thinner and sicker looking than the last time the met in person because he still hasn't been eating or sleeping. But that doesn't stop him from looking extremely annoyed as well.]

What's this about? Don't you have to say 'please'?

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

[Libby opens the door and stares into Soubi's eyes. There's an atypical air of intensity around her.]

No time for polite words, I'm afraid. I have another appointment coming up, and I think you're finally ready.

[Ready to assist her, of course.]

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[He narrows his own eyes, forcing himself to meet her stare.]

Ready for what? I told you, I'm not taking your orders. You aren't bribing me.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Here now. Give me your hand.

[She doesn't even give him a chance to offer it to her; she grabs one of his hands and reveals what's in the hand she'd been hiding behind the door: a hunting knife. Smoothly, she draws the blade across the back of his hand, leaving a cut about an inch and a half long.]

You're going to help me.

[Surely he'll accept this as the reward it is. He's finally good enough for her to claim him, after all.]

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[He flinches away, but not fast enough. He looks down at his hand in confusion. The pain is not much, but... it's something. She was holding his hand, cutting his skin, claiming that she wanted him... He suppresses a shudder.]

I... don't take orders.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

You do now. Ohhh, Soubi...

[She brings up her knifeless hand to caress the side of his face. It's a loving gesture but her eyes are noticeably far away, not focused properly on his face.]

I love you. God loves you. We both love you so much that you've been made ready to take part in Jacob's will.

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[He stands frozen, rooted to the spot, every muscle tensed, eyes sliding out of focus. His breath catches in his throat, she touched his face...]

I... Why are you doing this...?

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I'm letting you in on something of vital importance, because you are loved. God loves you...as he loved Jacob.

[She sighs, and takes her hand from his cheek.]

Can you feel your readiness to help save the others now? To help them to carry out Jacob's will?

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[He's visibly shaking now. She wants him to help her, she said she wants him... No, love and hate can change. Control is forever. She's only marked him with a cut, not with a name, he isn't hers... he is Seimei's, he is Seimei's...]

Leave me alone.

[But he's standing close to her. Aching for human contact.]

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

Shhh...it's okay to give in. You can feel it, I can tell--the importance of what is to be done. That's a good thing. It feels good to surrender.

[Being careful not to accidentally stab him, she takes him in a tight embrace and whispers in his ear.]

Be ready, Soubi. Tell me that you're ready.

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[His heart is pounding. How long has it been since someone wanted him like this, since someone touched him? Please, Seimei, please give me strength, I want to be owned only by you, I want you to take me and keep me as yours and yours only...

What do you want me to do?

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

[She releases him, steps back and gives him a radiant smile. She knew he'd be ready, just knew it...she had a knack. She reaches into her pocket, pulls out a folded piece of paper, and hands it to him.]

I want you to go to the Infirmary and get me everything on this list. It's got my signature on it, so you shouldn't have any trouble. You might need to make more than one trip. Bring it all here, and then we'll set it up.

[She has other preparations to make while he runs that errand.]

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[With a nod, he disappears, head down. He walks like a robot, with a measured pace and movements, eyes focused on the ground.]
