Bastien RP (OPEN)
Sonny bowed his head as he looked down at his rugged hands. Those hands that had been stained with blood countless times before. Those hands that would scar faces and break teeth. What was his life? Bastien seemed to be so pleased and happy with making others smile. Meanwhile Sonny caused people to wish they were never born. It wasn’t his fault, it was business. HIs father wouldn’t have had it any other way. Just different lives, different chances, different choices. And that’s all there was too it. He clenched his fist, not ready to start doubting his existence in a place like this. “That sounds like a non-stop party kid. Glad to hear you had a few good years on ya before endin’ up on dis crummy game show.” His voice showed no sign of his thoughts, just genuine interest.
Bastien nodded, opening his eyes once again. “Yeah…. it was rough some times, I suppose, but it was all worth it.” he said dreamily. “I just….” he paused, his smile taking on a new emotion, one of nostalgia.
“I just want everyone to feel like I did when I was a kid…” he whispered, a peaceful look in his eyes. “When my father first showed me what magic was… I was elated. I was unfathomably in awe, and it seemed like anything was possible. Heck, it’s been over ten years since I started learning magic and it still makes me feel that way. Like everything and anything is possible, ya know?” he said grinning like a dork as he described the feeling.
“I never want people to give up on that feeling. Young or old, boy or girl, rich or poor, no matter where they’ve been or where they’re going… I never want people to let go of it.” he said. “In a way, the real magic is on their faces when they truly believe…. when they get that feeling. When they know in their hearts that maybe there’s something out there, something way beyond what anyone tells them they can or can’t do. And it’s real.” he said whimsically, his emerald eyes glimmering in the moonlight.
A shooting star then burst through the sky overhead, and Bastien gasped.
“Make a wish, make a wish!” he said, grabbing Sonny by the shoulder and pointing the shooting star before it faded into the night. Bastien then suddenly closed his eyes, clasping his hands together as he made his wish, expecting Sonny to do the same.
