Video - Backdated a Couple Days

[a_sin_for_him]

[When Lust appears on the 'gear, she's looking a bit less put together than usual. Not much makeup, still-short hair falling naturally and without any pins or styling. She looks tired.]

I'm sorry have to say, but..

Wrath is no longer among us.

[She leaves it at that. Nothing further she wants to say is anything she's about to put on the public network.]

Comments

That's no less true.

[Feelings are complicated and hard. Especially ones of loss.]

He was important to you, it makes sense. ...and children's things will get everywhere. I'll keep an eye out.

[He pauses for a moment, thinking back.]

Speaking of that....I know it's not the same circumstances but. When I lost Cheryl, I ....had to collect all of her things and put them away since I had a baby. And you're right, things get everywhere, and sometimes you'll miss something and then find it when you least expect it.

....things like that can really catch you off guard, more then you think a toy or a drawing might.

[Reading those words are like a punch directly to the gut.]

[It takes Envy a few hours to respond, and even then he doesn't really trust himself on voice or video.]

he got to be happy here

[Which is one of the few comforts he can think of.]

[It doesn't get easier. Even less so knowing what Wrath is returning to. But a few years of happiness is better than none.]

[a_sin_for_him]

It's not that different.

[Lust's talking more to herself, really, and she sighs and rakes back the unkempt curls hanging about her face.]

It's just...I've been taking care of him so long...teaching him, guiding him, trying to protect him... and he was here so long, and just a child. It's so foolish but I thought he had...better odds than most. To stay.

He deserved to stay here.

Angels gone too

again

sorry miss fitz

[Text because he's pretty sure if he tries to say it out loud he'll just start screaming. Writing it is easier. It seems less real this way.]

[text]

[a_sin_for_him]

He WAS happy, wasn't he?

His life here was a good one...

text;

[a_sin_for_him]

I am so very sorry, Krieg.

They both deserve better.

he was the best dumpster diving buddy

[...whoops did Lust know that? Probably. It's Lust.]

text;

[a_sin_for_him]

He did love dumpsters, didn't he? It was a constant war, trying to get him clean...

I never won it.

text;

[fuelthefire]

why not? showers are great!

text;

[a_sin_for_him]

Not for him, he hated getting clean. Or wearing nice clothes. I bought him so many outfits that were never worn. I think some of them still have the tags on...

Always the little wildling.

[fuelthefire]

i get that

i hate wearing nice clothes too

regular clothes are best

[There's a longish pause as he thinks about whether or not to ask this next question, and then...he asks it.]

whats it like where hes gone to?

[Video]

[maybeitsmabelline]

See? His family's here so he definitely has to come back.

[Mabel smiles though it's not her usual sunshine-y smile. It's still a little sad.]

Is it okay if I make you something too? Oh and for Envy? For now--not for later? So you guys can have something to cheer you up until Wrath gets back?

text;

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't think he cared about clothes beyond how comfortable they felt.

...I don't think you really want the answer to that question.

[Video]

[a_sin_for_him]

We can hope. I have two of his Pokemon....

Yes, of course that would be alright. Thank you.

[fuelthefire]

[There's a long pause before he replies again. The place Wrath and Lust come from is that bad, huh? He feels like she's told him a little bit about it before, at least in regards to herself, and from what he remembers it really wasn't awesome. Ugh.]



oh

double sorry, miss fitz

action

[thumbsdown]

I'll be right there, then.

[And he arrives with a concerned Pointy by his side, and gives her a gentle smile when she opens the door.]

Hey. I brought you something. Not sure I did the right thing, but...

[He holds up a little store bought chocolate cake.]

text;

[a_sin_for_him]

It is what it is.

Thank you, Krieg.

[a_sin_for_him]

[Until she opened the front door to find Boone with his awkward offering of cake, Lust had managed to keep her emotions mostly under check. The conversations that were particularly difficult had been held over text. But for some reason she doesn't quite understand, the small and simple gesture is enough to make her eyes prick and brighten wetly.]

Thank you.

[Taking the cake, Lust leans in to kiss the corner of his mouth and then simply leans into him, a wave of exhaustion and overwhelming emotions coming over her.]

text;

[fuelthefire]

do you need anything?

text;

[a_sin_for_him]

I honestly don't know. I never know what to DO.

text;

[fuelthefire]

i dont either

fighting with the pretty lady helps

but we cant fight all the time and the police dont like it

its stupid.

[a_sin_for_him]

No, those sorts of things are best done more privately.

Pity I've lost all my sparring partners.

[fuelthefire]

????

[Oh look, we've gone from a dearth of punctuation to a plethora.]

you never told me you spar!

[...that he remembers. Sigh.]

ill fight you if you want to fight!!

[a_sin_for_him]

It rarely has occasion to come up, here.

Oh?

[fuelthefire]

Yeah!!!
