[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.]

That works!
[Even with this knocking him for a loop, he's not out of it enough that he wants to get covered in garbage.]
If I don't have to look at this thing for a few minutes, that's enough working for me.
[Not to mention actually going through with the act of putting a garbage can over her visage is...well, rebellious. Something that he'd have never even considered unless Lust had already brought it up to him AND gone through with it. If he can do this...maybe it'll be cathartic.]
no subject
Speaking of, he can feel her over his shoulder and a shudder goes through him, prompting the blonde to take a couple steps forward.]
Someone you don't like, I take it?
[His gaze momentarily shifts to the ghost near Envy, regarding it with a thoughtful frown.]
no subject
Yeah, you could say that.
[It's an almost deadpan delivery, but there's a bit of a grimace to it; Cloud is correct, ding ding ding.]
Always great to see my mother.
[Given that this is day two and he hasn't really slept since this started, he's feeling a bit less secretive than usual. Even though he has no idea who this guy is. But he's not tired or unobservant enough not to have noticed Cloud's own avoidance of his ghost.]
And it's the same for you, right? Someone you're not thrilled to see.
no subject
He starts to say something but Envy gets there first and the blonde immediately stiffens a bit.]
...She died because of me.
[Because of his stupidity. Because of his choices.]
I thought I had made peace with it--with her--already.
[But he hasn't.]
