116 Behind the curtain (1/2)

The sun was shining brightly illuminating everything.

But not much of the warmth from the outside could be felt at this place. It was cold and detached, it lacked everything the outside had to offer.

Inside this space, only a constant monotonous beeping could be heard. There was nothing else besides the noise that kept on repeating itself after some time had passed.

This rhythm was neither agitating nor soothing, it was just as cold and detached as the room itself. It was unknown since when this noise had existed or when it was supposed to end.

This entire space seemed unaffected by its surroundings and appeared to be the entire opposite of it.

Despite this sharp contrast, it did not invoke a feeling that it was missing its qualities. It felt complete and whole the way it was.

The noise that routinely filled this space does not stem from human or animals it did not have any life in it though it strangely felt connected to it.

There was something else attached to it but solely this beeping sound could be heard. This tone did not change in its volume or frequency as it resumed to appear and fade over and over again.

This continued until 2 voices could be heard inside of it. The beeping sound continued without any form of interruption but the atmosphere had become even colder.

The absence of warmth did not seem to affect anyone inside of this place. Neither of them did even bother with this detail. The voices were happy and upbeat not as solemn as it had been before their appearance.

Their presence was weirdly complementing the chilly counterpart, although their mood would suggest otherwise.

It was as if this noise itself was the cause of their happiness. A weird melody accompanying the pure joy born inside of this room.

This laughter resumed for quite a while before the first words were about to be spoken. No one involved seemed to be in a hurry to change the status quo.

They were enjoying it far too much to even think something like this. Before the laughter finally came to an abrupt end by the beeping sound that kept on resounding through this place a long time had passed.

” Is it really necessary to hold this kind of discussion here? Isn't it a bit cynical to do so?”These questions were spoken casually without any kind of weight behind them.

” Given the nature of this discussion I seemed to fit perfectly”, came the reply sounding as indifferent as the question itself.

The joy and happiness had diminished and only a calm and serene atmosphere remained. While the beeping continued with its usual rhythm, the entire previous Dynamique had taken a sudden turn and became a lot more serious.

The noise which had been prevalent the entire time did not matter any more. As of now, only these 2 voices ruled this strange place, banishing the noise to irrelevancy, where it resumed its duty without anyone caring about it.

” So how is the progress on your end?”

” The others have started to view him as a monster, it did not take much to convince them about this. His behaviour in the past was enough proof to them. This kind of opinion had formed even without any sort of interference from my side. I only had to exaggerate a bit.”

The voice replied in a nonchalant fashion narrating the development on their end. It was not enough to stir any kind of emotional response but a sardonic undertone still formed without anyone noticing.

During the brief monologue, the other party had listened attentively without interrupting it. A faint chuckle could be heard from time to time as more and more details were delivered to her.

” Gaining his trust had been way too easy. Someone like him was even easier to win over then the rest. It truly makes me wonder why he caused you that much trouble. Or is there something else to him, that I have missed out on?”

This question was left unanswered as the other party only laughed heartily after the message had been spoken.

” Not that it would matter anyway, what is important is to figure out how to proceed with our plan.”

” Focussing on such insignificant details is not worth our time. Besides nothing would change if we had an answer to this question. It is quite unlikely that he can spoil our plans the way he is now.” the voice turned twisted for a few seconds but returned to normality shortly after.

This short emotional outburst did not go unnoticed but was promptly ignored as if no one present was truly surprised by it. This familiar sight was casually glossed over and the discussion resumed without a hitch.
