[action - Ecruteak]

Who: Envy (and a ghost) and YOU
Where: Ecruteak
When: August 16th through 19th
Summary: Envy, like many others, has a less than fun time being followed by a well-intentioned ghost.
Rating: PG-13? Possible CW for discussion of abuse.
Log:


[Why did whatever this was have to look like her? Envy's already talked with Lust about what might be going on, and he's seen the other distressed people popping up on the network. He knows this is just one of those things that happens, and obviously his former master isn't really here.]

[That doesn't stop the cold twist of his stomach every time he catches sight of her out of the corner of his eye. At least the whatever-it-is isn't talking.]

[Now if only he could find a way to get rid of it.]

[He doesn't want to take this to the network, he doesn't want to talk about her to potentially a bunch of random strangers. But he's also not going to be holing up in his hotel room...he hates the thought of just being in a room with even the image of her staring at him. So out and about it is, speedwalking down the sidewalk wherever he goes, hands shoved in his pockets and his head down to avoid looking at her. Maybe if he walks fast enough, he'll lose her. Unfortunately for anyone around him, this makes it really easy for him to smack straight into someone.]

[By day two, someone might catch him emptying a garbage can out in an alley, grim determination on his face. Lust had put a garbage can on her and nothing bad had happened, even if she'd phased on out before very long. And it had been kind of funny. He can do it too.]

[One way or another, eventually he will have gotten rid of the pesky follower. And is still wandering around town looking for ANY kind of distraction, no matter how small. He's got a lot to avoid thinking about.]

Hotel Lobby

[Henry glances up when the lobby door opens. He hasn't been in his hotel room much today because of Reasons. Sadly, that Reason has followed him out to where the snack machines are. Henry is trying really hard to ignore the oozing upper torso of a bald man shrouded in shadow that is protruding from the ceiling as he waits for his Dodtritos to fall into the bin.]

Hey, Envy...

[The coil inside the snack machine turns so, so slowly. He cringes when Envy mentions his little rain cloud and turns his eyes back to the backlit snack haven.]

My roommate.

He won't hurt you...he was trapped there just like I was.

[WHY WONT THESE CHIPS DROP ANY FASTER.]

If it weren't for his notes...I'd probably have ended up just like him.

[The chips finally fall with an anticlimactic crinkling sound. Henry retrieves them and leans against the machine, pulling the bag open. He tried to ignore a long strand of...goop...that plops down by his shoe.]

[At the thought of Lust growing upset with a hypothetical Henry oozing around the kitchen, he lets out a snort.]


Oh no.

[The snort grows into a chuckle.]

Yeah...I wonder if I'd give her a headache like this guy.

[Henry looks up to the ghost, more wistful now than frightened.]

He won't talk to me.
