¤ CL's Apartment ¤

@Seungri (Hologram) Donghae quieted once the lights flipped off. His attention was being summoned by the tv that was flashing different colors that were blending together, forming into readable words. ~Huh. Seems like the Ace Specialist is more retarded than I imagine.~ Donghae frowned at the words. Who was this hologram to call him retarded? Him? The Ace Specialist? Why... he was superior to any hologram that every lived, and he sure knew it. ~Did the Committee cut extra lesions into your mind so that you're even more stupid than those pretties who know nothing than to party, have and drink?~ Donghae seethed with anger. Obviously this hologram knew nothing about lesions. They were removed when a pretty was turned into a special. They were able to feel anger, hatred and even make their own decisions, though they always stayed loyal to the committee.
~Sorry to say, but Holograms AREN'T alive anymore. We WERE alive, but can you call a sequence of ones and zeroes in the central core a living thing?~ Oh great, what he needed, a sob story for the hologram to make him feel sympathy for him. If only that were possible....~And you do need this. You need to learn how to live again. You, Donghae, the great and oh-so-scary Ace Specialist, are more dead than all of us Holograms combined. Think about it. Relish in these moments of anger~ Donghae's hands balled into fists as his eyes turned darker than normal; the tattoo on his arm and thigh spiraling up and down like a flash of lighting as his heart beat quickened. ~That feeling that wells up from your heart. Don you feel it? Emotions? Or has the Committee so much of your heart away that you can't feel anymore? 21~

“I WAS MADE INTO PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!” Donghae screamed, slamming his fist right into the center of the two numbers. The screen cracked and shattered; the light fading in and out for a few seconds before slowly dying and going completely black. “I ANSWER TO NO ONE. I AM PERFECT.” Donghae’s angry out burst was only the beginning. He grabbed the edge of the tv screen, despite his bloodied hand, and with his abnormal strength, ripped it from the wall and flung it towards the stone wall.

Bare cords sparked and crackled with electricity from the wall as the spiraling tv crashed right below the video camera that Seungri was occupying. “THIS IS WHO I AM. THIS IS WHO I’VE ALWAYS BEEN.” He growled; falling onto his knees by the side of the pool as he stared down at the water. Some might have said that at the moment, water could be seen filling his eyes; yet nothing spilled over nor was a tear drop ever exposed on his flushed cheeks.

With a small whimper in each breath he exhaled, Donghae felt more lost and out of place then ever before. He knew the committee saw him merely as their toy. He knew that he was used nothing more than to control the pretties and uglies and keep them in their place. He had to obey, that’s how they trained him. But Donghae always felt like there was something missing. Emotions? Perhaps? Or maybe it was his former memories…

With his last breath being prolonged and dragged out, he slowly pulled himself together and stood up. He held his head just as proudly as before. His eyes returned to normal as he felt himself drift back into his calm state. “I am Donghae.” He started in a calm matter, turning every few seconds to meet each camera in the room with a firm gaze.” I serve the Committee above all others. I am a special created for a purpose. My emotions died when my memory was removed from within. I feel nothing except hatred for those who go against the committee’s wishes, and anger when manipulated. This is what I was programmed to be. I don’t know who you are because I remember nothing, but apparently you know something about me, Don’t you?” Donghae whispered, his eyes landing on the camera that Seungri was watching him from when he uttered that last sentence. His gaze lingered a moment longer as he turned around to look at another video camera that was within his room.

“What good are emotions, when you have no past to help you recognize them by? For all I know, fear could be acts of courageousness and hatred equal love..” Donghae left his sentence hanging as he let out a small sigh, realizing he was still standing before the other. He walked over to his drawers; his last thoughts being spoken as he opened it and pulled out a pair of boxers. After slipping them on, he then proceeded to tug on a pair of sweat pants as well; blood staining his pants from the areas that were touched by his injured hand. “If you had your memory erased as well… wouldn’t you be considered dead? If so, then what am I…”

@Donghae (Ace Specialist) If one were able to see how Seungri looked at the moment, he would like almost like a little boy peering through the cracks of a door at something forbidden for him to see... Snickering quietly to himself at what was going on in front of his "eyes". Multiple eyes really, considering that there were cameras EVERYWHERE, even in the bathrooms, where the Hologram could tap into and use for his own mischievous purposes...

The screaming and flailing made by Donghae was just all fun really. Seungri didn't have an intention to ACTUALLY hurt the Special... Well, not directly by what he did. Whatever the Special did to himself was a different story though. So seeing him fall out of the shower with the curtain seeming as if to protect the male from the sight of the cameras, that made the Hologram chuckle quietly to himself again. Better was the fact that it was dark and so, just more fun to watch his former friend cuss and throw a tantrum as he never was as a child... Though the little pang of guilt that laced through his mind was quickly shoved away.

So Seungri simply flitted along in the wires and currents after the Ace Specialist, his image if it was being projected, being one with a twisted smile on his face. The Hologram was simply content to do nothing and watch for the time being as Donghae cooled himself off, but came out of his relaxation as soon as the Special had went off to turn the lights on. A natural pout would have graced the Hologram's face as having the lights on now made it no more fun...

But the screaming at the camera was amusing to watch though. Unbeknownst to the Special, Seungri wasn't staring him back from the camera that Donghae was cussing at. He was in the one in the corner, chuckling quietly to himself as he watched the male vent out his anger on it... Pity, pity... How they had changed. The old Donghae would have never done a thing like this... But again, he wasn't the Donghae that Seungri knew.

Time to make his appearance. Zipping through the lines, the dots and moving pixels of the blank tv then suddenly... They began to form into words on a completely black screen. To force the Special to pay attention to the screen, the lights promptly shut off in the apartment as well, plunging the entire place back into pitch blackness except for the lighted screen. Words began to slowly appear on it, line by line and disappearing as the next ones appeared...

"Huh. Seems like the Ace Specialist is more retarded than I imagined. Did the Committee cut extra lesions into your mind so that you're even more stupid than those Pretties who know nothing than to party, have and drink?"

"Sorry to say, but Holograms AREN'T alive anymore. We WERE alive, but can you call a sequence of ones and zeroes in the Central Core a living thing?"

"And you do need this. You need to learn how to live again. You, Donghae, the great and oh-so-scary Ace Specialist, are more dead than all of us Holograms combined. Think about it."

"Relish in these moments of anger. That feeling that wells up from your heart. Do you feel it? Emotions? Or has the Committee so much of your heart away that you can't feel anymore?"

"21."

And with that, the screen was frozen on the numbers: 2, 1. Just two white numbers on a black tv screen in the dark apartment, glaring at the Ace Specialist as Seungri retreated back to his eagle-eye camera to see how Donghae would react...

@Seungri (Hologram) Donghae stared blankly at his hand, watching, almost mesmerized with the tiny droplets that sprinkled onto it that started dancing it’s way around his fingers, forming unique patterns on his hand. He wouldn’t say that he had the ability to completely control the element like some people who could summon it at will or create it out of thin air, but he was at least capable of making it defy gravity somewhat when he was touching it.

Breaking his concentration, and causing Donghae to suddenly ball his hand into a fist, icy cold water blasted down from the shower head and only his back, sending him into violent shivering. He turned around, grabbing the knob and trying to turn up the temperature of the water when it suddenly hit him; scolding hot water pouring down onto his tender flesh. “” He screamed, practically falling out of the bathtub and taking the shower curtain along with him as he held his burnt arms closed to his body.

Yeah, he may have been one of the toughest humans in the District, but as a human, his ability to withstand certain temperatures was almost as tolerable as everybody else, maybe a little high then normal since he was a special. He tried to pull the shower curtain off of him as he continued cussing in anger, and when the lights proceeded to flicker and go out, it only increased his fury.

“ YOU HOLOGRAM” Donghae shouted as he was finally able to move the damn shower curtain from around his body. He gritted his teeth in pain and walked out of the bathroom towards the pool located in his own room. He wasn’t stupid. This occurrence has been happening on several occasions, and when Donghae went to a specialist to ask what was happening, the only answer they gave him was that it was a hologram that was unable to be tracked down or stopped.

He dipped his arms into the crystal clear pool water, concentrating on letting it spiral up his arms and soothe the burns on his skin. He stood up with a small sigh, exhaling slowly as he walked over to the breaker and flipped the switch, causing the lights to turn on once more. He then proceeded to slowly make his way towards the tv with a built in camera that was mounted on his living room wall; his jaw set and his eyes narrowed in anger as he turned it on and started talking to it.

“Look, whoever the hell you are, I know you can see me.” He hissed in anger while staring at the blank screen that was all pixilated with various shades of black, white, and gray. “You’ve been pulling this on me for far too long now.” Donghae spat angrily, his hands balling to fists as he resisted the urge to punch the tv screen. “WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU, HUH? DO… DO YOU HAVE NO LIFE? IS THAT IT?” Donghae started cussing a series of inaudible words as he kicked a nearby couch, sending it screeching across the floor, a few feet away. “I DON’T NEED YOU, I DON’T NEED THIS, JUST TELL ME WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS THAT YOU WANT SO YOU CAN GET OUT OF MY LIFE.”

@Donghae (Ace Specialist) Zipping along in the currents of electricity that flowed throughout the building, the Hologram had a very clear purpose to be going towards. A single apartment out of these hundreds, a single person that he wanted to "play" with. The one and only Ace Specialist... Or his former best friend. His only true friend, actually...

Just at the thought of that, a twisted smirk was faintly lingering at the edge of his holographic mouth. How many times had he done this before to this certain individual? It certainly wasn't in the double-digits, he could be sure... But definitely in the triple-digits. But every other time, it could have been passed off as just a malfunction of a light or an appliance acting up. Seungri had always been careful enough not to cause TOO much of a disturbance to the resident there, just enough to irk and annoy him, get that male to start cursing and screaming.

Hilarious it was as always, but this time... This time would be even more fun than it always was. Yet even in the back of his "mind", Seungri might wonder why he was doing this to Donghae... The only person he used to really care about. But the Ace Specialist didn't care about anyone. Hell, he wasn't CAPABLE of caring of anything but the blind foolishness of the Committee.

So Seungri's task was to... Spice up his life a bit. Make it more interesting, of course. Now arriving at his destination, the Hologram used the various cameras and microphones to check around the area for his target... And aha! The male was in the bathroom. How perfect... Especially with the fact that the shower was running. Time for some mischief...

Without a warning, the water that was showering down turned an icy cold, freezing water almost frozen by the non-existent atmosphere of the Moon and just as quickly afterwards, became scalding hot, heated by the core of the Moon. That was just the beginning though... After those abrupt temperature change, the water then completely shut off and right afterwards... The lights as well, leaving the entire apartment in complete darkness. And Seungri had no intention of turning back anything on until he could get a "victory" out of this...
