W2 - FRIDAY

[alldoomnogloom]

[ well wherever they are, he is pacing around furiously, writing in the last page of his journal and cursing as he runs out of paper. his hands are shaking a lot too. ]

What a mess.

[haematocritical]

[ gale your notebook. ]

That, darling, is an understatement.

[alldoomnogloom]

I should have ...

[ shaking his head, going back to writing. ]

[haematocritical]

[ sits back a little and tilts his head. ]

Should have...?

[alldoomnogloom]

Been decisive.

Gotten it over with.

[haematocritical]

[ hmmm. ]

Well, to be fair, with everything that's been happening I didn't have a chance to talk to you beforehand.

[alldoomnogloom]

No, I know, it certainly isn't on you, Astarion. It's--

It's becoming a rapidly closing window, is all.

[haematocritical]

[ looks at him a little sharply. ]

Because we're dropping like flies, or because your pain levels are getting worse?

[alldoomnogloom]

The former.

[ the second makes him put a hand over his chest. ]

The orb remains the same.

[ablazement]

[what]

[haematocritical]

[ he looks up at her.

yes? ]

[ablazement]

What are you talking about.

[alldoomnogloom]

[ also hesitating to say it. sorry. he will in a second, he just looks mildly ashamed. ]

[ablazement]

What. Tell me. My week can't get any shittier, except for how it probably can.

[ablazement]

[sits here staring at the ground.]

... Iwatooshi found his partner.

[alldoomnogloom]

Yes. Caelus told me, during trial. Not who, but ...

[ablazement]

It's Mathis.

[teej told me oocly and icly this was fine to tell you two

so surprise]

[alldoomnogloom]

[ goddammit. ]

Has he already made his wish?

[ablazement]

Don't know. [she's just going to like. cry, a little. that's her kid, and also lucas is dead, and camille and aqua are locked up, it's just. bad. this weekend is bad.]

[alldoomnogloom]

[ well that feels awful. he doesn't know how to comfort anyone about this, especially considering it's Mathis of all people. so instead ... logic his way through it. ]

I-- ... If he hasn't, he can wish to come back to life at the end. If he makes it now. He will lose the weeks in between, and have no memory of this place. But he'll be alive.

[ablazement]

... I'll tell him. But I don't know what he'll do. I don't know how much you know about him.

[haematocritical]

[ gazes into the distance. ]

...

Hmm. That's unfortunate.

[ablazement]

[brings her knees up to her chest.]

[haematocritical]

[ leans on her because she's still warm and comfy. ]

[ablazement]

[rests her head on his shoulder. she's like, beat to shit emotionally, she can barely even talk.]
