[It's early enough in the month still that Michael's not fallen too deep into the hunt. Sure, he's pranked a couple of warmbloods and vilebloods - but that was all in good fun, right? No harm done! Mostly, he just feels restless lately. Got a lot of energy to burn. That's why he's been spending this much time out on the beach, or in the water; it's something to do, and keeping busy feels good.

He sees Falco from the water first. A rather large squid briefly bobs to the surface and blinks one big blue eye at the boy. He's a little close to where Michael left his suit, safely folded behind one of the rocks...but not too close. And he seems upset. So...the squid submerges again, vanishing into the dark ocean.

It's a few more minutes before Michael comes strolling down the beach. He's completely dry, and doesn't look at all cold. In fact, he's practically radiating heat.]


Hey. Everything okay? [Michael obviously not he's crying on the ground]
eudaimonikos: (supervenience)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2021-12-11 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Yes, that does happen.

[Michael hasn't found anything of his own, and anyway most of his physical possessions aren't...quite that sentimental. You get a weirder relationship to belongings in the afterlife, they're not that important.

He wants to be nice, though. He tilts his head to peer down at the picture - not so interested in the photo itself, but noticing the frame.]


Did it get broken in the surf?

[It has been a rough month.]

[Erwin doesn't know what Falco was thinking, but he saw the end results. It had been... even for someone as used to blood and gore as Erwin, it had been bad. Deeply, deeply unpleasant. Unsettling. Horrific.]

[And then there's the fact that Falco was actually dead, apparently. No rebirth from his titan, no being saved by his healing ability. Just... gone.]

[Erwin would be lying if he said he hadn't spent a few days isolated and depressed about it.]

[But then he'd asked around, and found out that death isn't permanent here. Sleepers who die come back, which means Falco will come back. More questions, more searching later, and Erwin finds himself lingering around the welcome tents, waiting for the boy to reappear.]

[Erwin hears Falco before he sees him. He knows the sound of someone sobbing their heart out; he's made that sound a few times himself. But this is a young voice, a child's, and he rushes towards it.
]

Falco!
13thcommander: (dramatic eye lighting)

[personal profile] 13thcommander 2021-12-19 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Falco.

[Erwin stops when Falco retreats from him, drawing up short and giving the boy his space. He isn't really sure what he was intending to do anyway; he's more used to Falco hugging him than initiating the contact. He's not even sure if Falco would want to be hugged right now.]

[Being uncertain about anything is not Erwin's natural state of being, and he's nearly as distressed as Falco. However, he's also the adult, and in better control of his emotions.
]

What happened, Falco?

[He asks it softly, gently. He also lifts his hand a little, in a welcoming gesture; if Falco wants a hug, he'll provide it.]

possessum: (to win and be won)

a network sighting (which will inevitably lead to an in-person checkup đź‘€)

[personal profile] possessum 2021-12-13 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
( The month is one long cold dream. It stretches on and on, and more often than not, Peter doesn't know what time it is, what day it is. There's a cocktail mix at work in him: the town's effects — he's a Darkblood, a hunter — Corruption, and Peter's own melancholy sinking in deeper and deeper. This month was always hard for him. Now December represents even more loss, grief, hurt, and he's becoming numb to everything again.

It's inevitable that he'd be losing himself.

The Corruption slowly draws more and more of the demon out, that thing that was always fated to consume him. Peter stops being "Peter" and he's starting to have to work to remember the name at all. But there are still things that catch him there, that speak to Peter and not the other's name.

Like a message on the network from a name that makes him pause and check again. It stirs up memories even if they're thick and glossy and feel far away. A young boy.... dealing with something strange and scary, asking for help. Frightened, upset. A spark of wide-eyed youth underneath all of that — so human. He called him "Mister Peter" like he was someone safe and capable. Peter, who's progressively less and less human right now, taps a response in the quiet solitude of his room. He dredges up his own name from the depths of himself, with some work. )


un: P.G.
Falco?
It's Peter
I don't know much about blood ministers but


( But.... but. Has he been able to find any help with his... condition? He must not have found a solution yet, to be asking about infected blood. But has there been anything...? )

Have you been able to get any help? With it
possessum: (and gazed out through a window)

[personal profile] possessum 2021-12-17 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
( That....

"I tried"

What does that mean?

The discomforting rise of alarm is slow but genuine, something that further grounds Peter to himself, helps keep him tethered a little bit more. There's only one thing to do, ask, but his stomach's feeling weird, tight.

What did he try? )

[Varian has been spending a lot of time out on the ice. His coldblood means that he isn't affected by the freezing temperatures, and he has half a chance of getting new folks out of the ice. Which is...what he assumes Falco is, when he comes across him crying.

Thankfully, this early in the month, this corruption is only a grey tinge to his skin, but he still hesitates to come too close.
]

Uh...h-hey. Are you okay? [He shoots a glance at the pictures on the shore- faces he doesn't recognise, but he can make a good guess mean something to the boy. Good job, detective Varian. ] Are...are you new? Do you need help?
droptheious: (Goodbye my only friend)

[personal profile] droptheious 2021-12-17 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now he's a little closer, he can tell this is definitely not a newbie, and he relaxes a little. He's definitely glad to avoid the whole welcome to Trench, everything is awful spiel this time around. His smile softens a little.]

Hey, that's...okay. I think the ships out there have been dropping things from home into the water. Makes about as much sense as anything else in this place, right?

[He moves to sit next to him- the motion a little awkward with his prosthetic leg, but he gets down. ]

You uh... you want to talk about it? I'm Varian. By the way.

[personal profile] unsheathedfromreality 2021-12-26 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Animals and undead didn't usually get along, which is reason enough for Illarion to avoid anywhere they're being kept--but the local shivering horses didn't seem any more bothered by him than they were by every other danger around, and, well.

He had a question he'd needed answered by someone familiar with horseflesh. That necessitated a visit to the stables.

The shrike's leaving by way of the stalls, answer in-hand, when the sound of someone startling attracts his attention. An--odd expression--flits across his face, almost a smile, almost hungry, to hear someone alarmed by his presence (December's a difficult month for Darkbloods, doubly so for a Locust Knight); then it's gone, replaced by a look of thoughtful focus. There's something he recognizes in the ((shape)) of the young stableboy over there, and it's enough to get him to amble over and lean slant-hipped against the wall near where Falco's working. (or "working")

He looks for all the world like he's watching the horse's determined attempts to get the cloth, except his eyes aren't focused on her.
]

Ah. You were the child in the bird-beast. [Who had a name, surely, though he seems to have misplaced it; his memories of the fight are laced through with the oppressive emotion the Silence had broadcast, distorting recollection of anything but those.

It's uncomfortable. It also has a strange appeal when he feels so little with any clarity. But that's not really the task at-hand, so--
]

How are you faring?

[personal profile] unsheathedfromreality 2021-12-30 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ahhh. "Fine" the child might name himself, but he's certainly still suffering the aftermath of that battle. Illarion's been party to enough of the awful manifestations of combat stress to well understand why his mere appearance might be cause for fear--even if he'd never been a direct threat.

That very fear is reason enough for him to turn and walk out of here; it pulls at instincts worn thin by the pressures of the month. But there are questions he'd like answered...and to a Disciple's senses, there's a hint of something wrong that reminds the shrike why he'd even been in a position to join that battle in the first place.

A Scholar had tried pilfering supplies for an exorcism and run to that part of Gaze to hide when caught.
]

I was there, [he affirms,] and I took little hurt to begin with, never fear. While you--if you will forgive me--do not seem quite so fine as you say.

I am sorry for this. I wish there had been another way, for all of us. [There's sympathy in his tone, quiet though it may be.]

Do you have a moment to speak with me? I would not keep you from your duties, if not.

At the stables

[personal profile] laminae 2021-12-31 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[It isn't unusual to see Fern in Willful Machine. Since he and Usagi started creating things - weapons, clothes, accessories - for people to buy, he's in and out of there often, selling what the two of them have crafted and buying materials for more. Plus, in his downtime he likes to check out the blacksmiths and see what weapons are being made.

So here's in that part of the city today, hanging around near the stables like a good Hunter to help keep an eye on the horses. It isn't his favourite area thanks to the whole 'horses like to eat grass' thing so he mostly tries to keep his distance from them, though he momentarily forgets that when he sees a very familiar face sweeping out a stall.

Falco. The kid he had spoken to before, the kid Dipper had tried to help with an exorcism that went terribly wrong, the kid whose body they had pulled out of that horrible bird monster. The memory of that scene flashes in front of his eyes, and before he can stop himself he's stepping into Falco's space and yanking him into a hug that lifts the kid off his feet.]


Dude! You're back!

laminae: (what am I?)

[personal profile] laminae 2022-01-01 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry Falco, this is just how he is. Even though he was happy to be part of a team that took down a monster, he is not happy said monster was a nice kid like Falco. For all his love of violence seriously hurting his friends isn't something he wants to do. Actually killing them is on a whole other level of despair-inducing, so forgive him for being choked up at seeing Falco alive and well.

Finn was always someone who never shied away from physical affection, and Fern inherited that quality from him. He'll set Falco back down on the ground, though he doesn't let go quite yet, especially when he catches that Falco is tearing up.]


I'm so, so sorry! Are you okay??

[From time to time, Childe will take a stroll down by the beach and the boardwalk to see if anything had turned up there of interest. He makes it his business to know, ever the nosy Harbinger, but today there was little to see. So, that means it's time to check the welcome tents in case something could be found there, or in case someone is to be found there. He speaks with some of the volunteers, and the only thing that catches his attention is the boy they mention who has been asleep on the floor for some time already today.

Childe peels back the flap of one such tent, surprised to see who he finds. It was that boy, the one from the monstrosity that...

Stepping inside, he takes a seat next to Falco, gently shaking him awake. Once he opens his eyes, he'll see the bright smiling face of a young man in his twenties, bandaged still across his arms, head and chest- though not all from their battle alone. It's been a rough month for him.]


Hey, [he'll say, once Falco wakes,] good to see you back with us again.
monoceroscaeli: <user name="optimisty"> (120)

[personal profile] monoceroscaeli 2022-01-02 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so you do remember me.

[He wasn't sure how that would work. The inner workings of Falco's transformation were still a complete mystery to him, and in fact he'd been prepared to introduce himself. If Falco recognized him as he was now, and not as the monster he'd become for their fight later on, then that means he was conscious for every little detail of their encounter. His words also told him that Bigby, who must of been the monster who ripped his heart out, knew each other. He'd suspected that. What an awful thing to experience.]

I wasn't sure if you were going to recognize me or not. After all, I'll admit I wasn't much of a threat until later on. You can call me Childe, for now.

[At least, Childe wouldn't remember someone insignificant in a fight. But that's just him.

He reaches inside of his jacket, and produces a small bag of what looks like nut bars, each with different kinds of nuts bonded together with honey. No two bars are alike, and he hands it to Falco if he's awake enough to receive it.]


Here, take these. It'll help you regain your strength. It's homemade kozinaki, from my homeland of Snezhnaya.
