( closed ) this will end in tragedy

Who: Aether & Lumine
What: Zealot and farm shenanigans with the twins
When: Mid-November
Where: Somewhere in the Trench and then the Sleeper Farm (possibly Lumine's place, after?)

Content Warnings: Violence, talks of blood and death–essentially a blanket warning for prompts 2 and 3 of the event

[ lumine hasn't been on a warpath like this since inazuma.

but to be fair, hearing about the kidnappings and disappearances around the trench is one thing, and she might not have been driven to find these things if they were merely going on rumours and hushed talks. seeing it happen before her and almost becoming a victim, only for childe to get dragged in her place, is another. and while she's more than certain that the harbinger can handle himself, well–she holds a grudge against him for getting himself kidnapped.

if she could call him various colourful names, she would. but as it stands, it's not as satisfying without him around to hear said names. so it'll simply have to wait when they drag him back to the trench.

and she's allowed to hit him, right? when they manage to see him again? in the gut, for traumatising her?

not that she's the type who gets traumatised in the first place, having a strong stomach for violence and blood, but lumine maintains that she's been upset and shaken up by the incident and blames childe anyway. after all, she can't help but vividly remember the sharp hook that narrowly missed her back, its blade grazing her shoulder instead, when that twisted creature tried to take her. and it's really only thanks to childe that she managed to get away–at the expense of his own safety and freedom.

lumine coughs as she peers down the empty alley where the residents told her the disappearances happen often, the sound quite harsh. the air has been thick with blood pollution lately, the smell and taste of iron filling up her mouth and coating her tongue with every inhale and making her feel lightheaded.

Those things use hooks and chains to snatch people and drag them away. And they have these portals where they suddenly appear and disappear into, just like the one ...

[ just like the one used by the abyss herald in the ruins when she last met him. the words die on her lips, however, unwilling to talk about it further. she knows it's a weird topic between the two of them, and a sensitive one given their messy and incongruous memories.

she shakes her head dismissively.
] Don't do anything I would do, okay? [ a.k.a. recklessly and unthinkingly ]
