w0, FRIDAY 2

[ablazement]

[standing by the bulletin board, frowning heavily... she is glowing very brightly. her chest is, anyway.

she is. talking to herself, apparently.]

Gods. Fuck. Death, what happened? I should've...

[concoctive]

[ well, that's a beacon when the fire of the pyre is blue and she's a warm ember. alfyn's got his axe in hand as he roams the village like there's some kind of answer somewhere. ]

... was wonderin' if bein' at the theater last night would've meant nothin' would've happened to Aventurine. [ on forearms, his neck, and bleeding through the white brown green of his clothes across his torso is a lot of ink writing. he crosses his arms, careful of his axe, to try and cover the majority of it up, but not being there. not being able to help. are visible on his neck and collar. ] Miss Laudna found him beneath the stage, when we were lookin' around.

D'you know where Death was..?

[ablazement]

Aventurine was with us. In the cabin.

[she says, voice tense. she doesn't have any visible tattoos right now, but. she's clearly agitated.]

... No idea where Death was. That fuck, they -- fuck!

[just SHOUTS that.]

[concoctive]

[ the shouting definitely doesn't seem to bother him, as he sort of. vibrates there. what a fucking mood frankly. ]

So he went from the cabin to the theater, somehow. And Death... [ he sucks in a deep breath and closes his eyes, so that he doesn't have to look at the posters. ] Do they think this is a godsdamned game? That it's for laughs?

[ referencing the movie poster theme. he doesn't know what this is a reference to but that doesn't mean he can't be mad about it. ]

[ablazement]

[the thing is what she wants to do is scream, or break something, or rage out.

but there are kids here. so she's trying to behave herself.]

The posters are really the kicker, aren't they.

[her voice comes out as a growl.]

Like it's not fucked up enough that we're here, waiting to die.

[and that's when the tattoos pop up - death, death, death, DEATH.]

[concoctive]

In the teeth.

[ honestly, keeping it together for the kids is the right thing to do. while he's sure some of them have probably seen terrible things - because plenty of kids back home have - it doesn't mean they should have to see any of them losing their cool.

set an example.

but, even so, he joins aerith in LOSS popping up as a tattoo to echo her resounding stream of deaths. he just covers it with his hand for a moment and closes his eyes. ]

Don't think either of us is the type to just lay down and die. Don't think a lot of us are. There's gotta be somethin'.
