Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 19, 2063 || Friday

[icarusalsoflew]

[This one disappears for about thirty minutes, and returns as quietly as he left with two briefcases. He doesn't explain where he went, but from how he ducks into Hikaru's room for about fifteen minutes after that, it can probably be inferred that he fetched a few things from Falner.

Looks like he'll be staying at the Tower while he has taken control of his Brother's body. You're usually going to spot him hovering around, smoking, working through a glass of rum, eyes crimson-ringed and glowing oddly in all lights (or lack thereof) watching... who knows what he's watching? And that suit he's wearing - three-piece, black, pin-striped, with ghostly faces and smoke occasionally moving over the "fabric" - is pretty nice, creepiness aside.

Please excuse him if you find him suddenly popping in on you. It's just what he does.]


OOC Notes:
+ Drop starters as you please! I'll have Death haunt you accordingly. ♥
+ Feel free to do other stuff among yourselves here as well.
+ Do note that Makoto's out and solid for this evening too, so you can bug him or ping me if you want him to come around and bother you.

[And because Death is not nearly as adept with people as Brother Wolf is, he's simply blinking, watching her, wondering what she is thinking.]

What is it?

[Repeating that, because this is curious.]

[bostova]

[ It makes her miss Hikaru, because at least he would... could probably already tell. He'd either tease her about it or not push, but this is... Death.

(sob) ]

It's... embarrassing.

[icarusalsoflew]

[Hum.]

Why?

[Does not compute.]

[bostova]

[ W-what does he mean, why? Why is she embarrassed? Why can't she say it out loud? Why can't she just admit her feelings?

She just ran herself into a corner, didn't she? ]

It is difficult to explain... And I'm not very good with... this.

[icarusalsoflew]

It is all right. I am one to believe that it is always good to hear things from the source.

[Eloquence was so terribly overrated, in his opinion.]

[bostova]

Then... one day I might be able to tell you. [ When she learns more about her feelings and understands them better. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Nods.]

Then I hope that it will not be too long before I am out again, and that by the time that I am, you will be able to tell me.

[Since he is usually only out on the Hour, and that is not the time for talking.]

[bostova]

[ She nods, smiles, and then... Holds out her pinky. ]

I promise. I will tell you when we see each other again.

[icarusalsoflew]

[Blinking at it. What...

Ah. Right. Okay. Extending his own, and hooking it together with hers. He remembers now.]

I shall hold you to that.

[Yep. He just smiled. He'll only register the fact that he did later.]
