wk4 - sunday;

[ YOU ALL KNOW THE DRILL

JAPANIFORNIA PARK TREE IN THE EVENING sometime after execution, and making. God. Five more crosses Jesus Christ. This park is hella crowded, friends.

Mill about, chatter, pray, remember the dead*.

*Gossip is probably legal since the rules don't say it has to be strictly positively but remember etiquette folks. ]

[crimebaby]

[ livio will be making the crosses or praying. he's mostly keeping to himself, quiet, with a blank expression on his face ]

[crucifer]

[ He's keeping completely quiet as well until they have to do their prayer rounds, a bit of distance between him and Livio. ]

[crimebaby]

[ livio will not be breaching this distance or talking aside from doing these prayers. ]

[ he does cast a look over at wolfwood, to get an idea of his general state -- if he's still cyoa injured and status effected, but aside from that, nada ]

[crucifer]

[ Well he seems healed today, so that's good! Physically, anyway.

He works away with a completely flat expression in the meanwhile, and does not look up. ]

[crimebaby]

[ livio gets back to work on his crosses, then, checking wolfwood's expression every so often to get a sense of if he's still experiencing cyoa effects, but that's about it ]

[We're going to run out of fucking branches

Anyway Kaveh is here; he has once again brought warm drinks with him for everyone, and he will of course help make crosses since there are FIVE OF THEM TO BE MADE TODAY. Mehrak is also here with him, floating along behind him with a solemn '_' face. At some point either before or after the prayers (probably after), he'll move off to the side and open Mehrak up to get out some paper, a pen, two tubes of paint, and a brush and start working on some paintings.]

[ unlike last week, she is able to consume food and drink without much issue, so she will take something to sip on. and when prayers are over she will sidle on up to him, pointing at his supplies. ]

Can I borrow these?

[ pen and paper, specifically. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[He greets her with a small smile, though it doesn't reach his eyes, and nods.]

Of course. [He's only got the one pen, but he hands it over easily.] These are paint papers, but I can tear out a few pages of my notebook, if you'd rather have those.

[ashmark]

[ she nods. ] I just want to write them something.

[ he writing isn't great, but. something to put her thoughts down. ]

[ashmark]

[ last week, she had a little flower. this week, she has a rose - specifically from the bouquet she received on wednesday. she's been tending to the flowers as best she can, but this one is still starting to wilt.

and, like before, she is going to harass wolfwood for his lighter, to set the rose ablaze until it burns down to nothing. ]

[crucifer]

[ She can have it. ]

[ashmark]

[ and she'll give it right back. she should get her own for this purpose, maybe, because it's not like it's suddenly going to stop - but where's the bonding in that? ]

[crucifer]

[ I don't know that this is the bonding that you want. ]

[crimebaby]

[ after the prayers are done, he'll be glancing over at her every once in a while to get a sense of how she's doing ]

[ashmark]

[ honestly? the fact that she is functional and eating and drinking means she is doing better than maybe she should. maybe she should be feeling super bad and guilty after execution but. she's more focused on doing this for the departed.



also if he comes over she will give him a hug. ]

[crimebaby]

[ he'll take it!! but sadly, he will not come over, just keep watch on her from afar ]

[westedge]

[ you know what. this is so many crosses and so many dead people, which means that eventually he'll either a.) help with making crosses or b.) he just kind of sits on the ground to stare blankly at the ones already made. who knows what the fuck he's thinking about, but eventually he does seem to be kind of digging into the dirt with his hand to bury something. it's fine. he'll pay attention for prayers but otherwise seems to be focusing on his own thing. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[He will eventually come over and sit by Jonas, bumping his arm gently against Jonas's.]

Okay?

[Like, obviously not because who can be. But. Y'know.]

[westedge]

[ there's a half-grin from where his hands are in the dirt. he seems to be. burying a mcdonald's napkin? it's fine. ]

About as good as any of us can be. [ hmm... ] It's...kind of depressing to see how many crosses show up each week. But at the same time it's good to see them.

[ohthehumanities]

[Jonas can do whatever he wants, tbh. Though I, pixi, personally think it would be hilarious if this is the secret piece of key evidence that reveals Jonas killed Shen Qingqiu all along.]

I know what you mean. [...] I was considering getting a second notebook. Just for... messages to them. You know.

[He'd actually talked about something similar with Ylfa but he doesn't want to bring that up right now.]

[piteous]

[ YEAH... I GUESS SO... SO MANY MORE CROSSES TODAY. Vash is just praying silently for them. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[At one point he will come over to bring Vash a drink and also reach out to touch his arm to see if he is still zappy.]

[piteous]

[ He is not zappy and he will accept a drink. Thank you. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[He looks relieved.]

I'm glad it wore off.
