House meeting

Who: Reaper ([personal profile] no_reload), Fern ([personal profile] laminae), Luz ([personal profile] imaglyphwitch), Luca ([personal profile] schoolingfish), Varian ([personal profile] droptheious)
What: Disaster House has a meeting
When: Beginning of November
Where: Disaster House in Cassandra

Content Warnings: Will add as they come up.


[Reaper had taken his time with recovery, which left him trapped in his room for a few days. When it seemed that he could get around without having long episodes of shortness of breath, he appeared more downstairs. That's where he happened to be, settled into a chair with the other occupants of the house.

He knew they had questions, knew that most of them would have to do with Lance's outburst on the network. That wasn't the kid's fault; they didn't always control their Omens. And Lance had been circling the drain for years now, barely holding on. Not the kid's fault. For as long as he had known Lance, the kid had been teetering on the edge of a mental crisis.

However, this wasn't about Lance right now. This was about the household where he resided, and many of the youngsters who lived in it. As the eldest, he knew that his position here was the most tenuous.

So Reaper sat quietly, one ankle crossed over his other knee. He remained in comfortable black clothing, and while situations like these usually had him wearing his mask, he had decided against it. Instead, his scarred face was bare, though he kept his hood up to cover most of his white hair. His gloved hands were folded in his lap, thumbs clasping the mask that he would normally wear. Instead, it lightly tapped against his thigh.]


So, I suppose we should call this meeting to order, hmm?

[Reaper lucked out, Varian doesn't understand it for himself, either. He's always waiting for the other shoe to drop in that regard. ]

I do that, I'm...pretty glad for them. They keep me grounded. You're one of them, you know. Just...so you're aware.
schoolingfish: (Um...actually human)

Oh, I can't defend myself. But I can do those other things! And I can run away!

[Growing up he'd just been taught to find an underwater cave to hide in if there was danger. The idea of actually trying to fight terrifies him, since he very much doubts he'd be able to do something like that.]

You can be both!

[Sorry, she didn't make the rules! Well, she did, but that was just the impression she was getting].

We're living in a world controlled by blood magic where you can get corrupted. Even if we all get along really well, there's going to be drama. Heck, you could even argue that getting along will make MORE drama, not less.

[ wow it already sounds complicated, but ahiru stutters. ]

I-I'll do my best! You can count on me!
imaglyphwitch: (Ai que lindo!)

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-11-30 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
No you couldn't!

Wait, seriously? I would like to see that.

[Luz gave herself away. She totally would].

How exactly can you START corrupted?

Each member of this house along get into shenanigans. Trust me, you wouldn't have to be involved.

Oh, okay. I could definitely try to learn, but just to warn you, I'm not that strong.

[And he has literally no confidence that he'll be an actual competent fighter. He's more of the bookworm type.]

[personal profile] danserai 2021-12-01 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, I will!
droptheious: (Funny story: I forgot)

[Varian raises his eyes skyward, letting out a groan.]

Oh my goooood, okay. I am doing those things. [Is he? Is he really?]
schoolingfish: (Listening human)

[personal profile] schoolingfish 2021-12-01 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, if it's not all about strength, maybe it's not completely hopeless? Luca just knows he'd rather avoid a fist fight if he can.]

Oh, yeah. I'm pretty quick. I even won a triathlon once! I mean, that was kind of because it started raining and I turned back and ended up being chased with a harpoon through the last part of the race, but I still won! And I was faster than a full grown adult that was chasing me!

[Hey, he couldn't blame a girl for being curious]?

Experiment huh? That sounds kinda suspect.
droptheious: (I can see you start to wonder)

[personal profile] droptheious 2021-12-01 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is this happening to him?

(Because he's terrible at looking after himself, that's why).
]

Maybe!!! Maybe I just get... distracted by other things.
imaglyphwitch: (huh)

[personal profile] imaglyphwitch 2021-12-01 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
And in exchange, you definitely gained knowledge?

[Luz was still mystified about how some people thought, so she was always curious if their efforts were at least worth it].
