Week 5 Thursday

[blink_gone]

[Assuming she is suffering to some degree from Post CYOA, Till will run into her somewhere instead, staring at whatever visible sign of injury or distress she has left.]

...You, uh. Good?

1/2

[trifocal]

[ she is on her feet, which is a good sign! her left arm is fully bandaged and her complexion is a little bit flushed. she smiles at him. ]

Mm-hmm!

[trifocal]

...

I beg your pardon, but who are you?

[blink_gone]

[Oh no, a cute girl. He glances away, lacking the heat of most of his other encounters.]

Um... Till. Sorry, I'm... new.

[trifocal]

New? I had not thought that anyone else would join us here, considering the circumstances...

[ but she won't forget her manners. ]

My name is Euphausia, but you may call me Eupha, if it please you.

[blink_gone]

Yeah... I'm getting that impression.

[ no one seemed to expect him. he looks at her bonus eye for a second, but doesn't pay it too much mind, switching up his gaze to her arm. ]

Why are you so torn up?

[trifocal]

Oh, er...

I was transported to another dimension, it seems. Or perhaps a few dimensions. Some were quite dangerous.

[blink_gone]

Oh, like Laurence...? What the hell?

[ ???? ]

Does that just happen to you guys?

[trifocal]

It seems so, though it was a first for me.

Do you know much of what happened to Laurence?

[blink_gone]

[ he shakes his head and a hand animatedly, vigorously denying. ]

No idea. He says he saw me there, but I don't remember any of that.

First I saw of him—any of you—was here.

[trifocal]

Really? How strange...

... Although, I suppose I also saw people who are here, but... mere apparitions of them. So it is not unheard of...

If I may ask, where were you before coming here? And how is that you came to join us?

[blink_gone]

Oh, sure. I was in Heaven. Just ended up there after I died... the usual.

No idea how I got from there to—this redemption project? I was eating lunch and then I was here all the sudden.

[ it's been a day. looks at her injuries again. ]

N-Nothing as violent as what you guys must've been through.

[trifocal]

Truly? I had some worries that Heaven was growing unstable, but this is quite a new development...

[blink_gone]

It seemed all right where I was, but... man. Sure is screwy here, from what I've heard.

[trifocal]

... I am sorry that you were torn away from there, and put in such a perilous position instead.

But I am sure that you will be able to return before long, if that is what you desire. Perhaps you may even have a choice, as we have been promised.

[blink_gone]

[ WELL.. HE'S ARRIVING AT THE TAVERN FOR HIS SHIFT...... he looks a little worn out, bristling. ]

Shit shit shit—you guys really weren't kidding.

[trifocal]

[ eupha is on one of the sofas here. there is a white snake curled up across her shoulders. ]

Ah... I see the news has reached you too.

[ she wasn't sure if he'd have a phone or not. but even if he didn't, the news is probably everywhere now. ]

I am sorry... You should not have been mixed up in all of this.

[blink_gone]

[ SNAKE BUDDY ]

Well—you guys have dealt with it the whole time...

[ he's gotten off pretty easy? but also? what da hael ]

Did you know those guys who died?

[trifocal]

[ snake buddy! it idly mlems at the air. ]

... Yes. Saber was one of the people who were with me yesterday, and Jacopo is a regular here, I believe. [ a glance at the bar. ]

And Yves is... a dear friend to me.

[blink_gone]

[ oh....

he's probably been pacing around but he'll come sit with her, pushing a hand through his hair in frustration. ]

...You guys have been here for over a month, right? Bound to make some good friends. [ ... ] Sorry.

[trifocal]

[ her expression softens, and she gives him a small, grateful smile. ]

It is painful to lose anyone. Especially those who we most wish to hold on to...

But we know now that their souls have gone to a place of healing. We need only find a way to reach them... And for now, we must find who killed them.

[blink_gone]

[ well, at least he's heard about the graveyard... he still taps his foot, shaking his leg in a restless motion. ]

You gotta sniff out who did it? You sure it was someone here?

[trifocal]

Thus far, it has always been the case.

[ watch us get a surprise new character at trial tomorrow. ]

And... should we fail to identify the culprits, the consequences could be quite severe.

[blink_gone]

[ that would be so funny and even more suspicious than a random thursday guy ]

What, really? What happens?

[trifocal]

If someone is influenced to kill, and their soul is not cleansed, then that influence could take hold again... if not here, then in the future, when they've returned to life or moved on to Heaven proper.
