[ HE HAS HIS BIG SWORD NOW and no longer looks like a waif in a robe i guess anyway he stops when he sees her ]

Get your own blood box? [ hi karlach ]

[ablazement]

Yeeeeup.

[she gives him a little salute. she's wearing her default outfit! and shifting back and forth as she looks around the area they're in. void. it doesn't matter. she's carrying her box around with her, but also - when she sees his sword, she goes sparkly-eyed.]

Whoa, that's a crazy blade! Can I see?

[residentmerc]

[ it's the void. it is always, the void.

there's a slight pause at the question mostly because he doesn't expect her to be so sparkly about it, but then he takes out his sword pretty fast once it registers ]

Sure. Here.

[ it's big! it's used! you have seen it. ]

week 0, monday

[residentmerc]

[ for the record his word is currently sephiroth across his bicep like a sexy love brand. i just think you would enjoy knowing this

he's looking at the plaque for the mortuary! ]

Looks like you guys all got placed together.

[ congrats to karlach for being with friends in a coffin ]

[ablazement]

[I DO IN FACT ENJOY THIS THAT'S SO FUNNY

she wanders over, tail flicking back and forth. her word, AVERNUS, is on her back. it has a fun number underneath it that's like a billion something.]

Looks like. Think this is gonna be important later?

[residentmerc]

Our names being written on random buildings? Maybe. Can't imagine it being just for fun.

[ he does see the number and name but does not comment because that is inviting people to ask him the same. no. absolutely not ]

w0, FRIDAY 2

[ablazement]

[standing by the bulletin board, frowning heavily... she is glowing very brightly. her chest is, anyway.

she is. talking to herself, apparently.]

Gods. Fuck. Death, what happened? I should've...

[residentmerc]

[ he has a hand. i dont know what he will do with it yet i havent thought that far ]

Karlach? [ why does he keep walking in on girls talking to themselves ]

[ablazement]

[HE HAS A HAND

she startles when he comes up on her, blinking at him.]

-- Fuck, hey, Cloud. You're alright?

week 0, sunday

[residentmerc]

[ tbh this would probably be later after he is sure everyone else has checked in on her to give her some time to breathe. it is in fact probably a little coincidental they run into each other unless she is in hiding or something idk BUT THE POINT IS he'll ask: ]

You holding up?

[ablazement]

[this is so valid. she's not hiding, she's probably just hoisted herself up to go eat but realized she has like zero appetite, so she's just sitting at the table like .-.

i actually have no fucking idea what's up with her fingers right now so let's say they are super bandaged! did daan successfully sew them back on? no idea!]

Yeah. I'm alright. [theoretically. she looks about as pale as you can get when you're red.]

w1, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[how is it only week one

anyway, hello, she's on the beach today! she's a little less cheerful than normal, but it's not like it was yesterday, at least. she's standing with her feet in the waves, tail swaying back and forth. she's probably wearing a sundress, actually, i'm too lazy to go look for one just assume it's something nice and beachy. aerith picked it out so, you know.

when she sees cloud, she waves with her not-bandaged hand.]

[residentmerc]

[ are you okay

anyway unlike karlach cloud seems more cheerful than normal, since he actually smiles back at her and gives a little wave back as he comes around to the beach. is HE wearing different clothes? no. of course not. ]

Hey. Enjoying the view?

w1, SUNDAY

[ablazement]

[wandering around today... she stops when she sees cloud, and waves a little.]

Hey. You alright? [how's it going buddy. today is a new day...]

[residentmerc]

[ it's a brand new day and five people died this weekend! but he raises a hand back in greeting ]

Yeah. [ the weekend was not great but, y'know. keep moving on or whatever. ] Good as it gets after all that. You?

w2, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[hey cloud what's up we are void

here's your memory.]

[residentmerc]

[ cloud is the best person to listen to a tearful heartful confession, which is to say he doesn't know how to react to all of what he sees, to what it really means, and at the end of it he can't stop himself from asking in a low tone: ]

What did they do to you? [ it's not a real question. it's her heart, like she said, and any other detail isn't necessary, but... But. but why can't it be fixed. ]

w5, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[you can find her just

wandering, this place is so fucking huge what the fuck!!! i don't know where we are maybe she's outside of the phone store. actually, yeah, she is, just staring at it - there's a little bit of a twisty sad emotion in her.

she's got keychains that she's just attached to her belt - gojo, vin, mathis, kate, gale, and astarion are all settled there, for now.]

[residentmerc]

[ this place sure is Big Huge, but it's easy to walk around and run into people anyway. which is what happens, and cloud has some vague mild concern of an emotion when he asks: ]

Karlach?

[ twisty sad is a weird emotion to feel. also, emotions in general, but he's over that part he literally lives with aerith ]

w5, FRIDAY

[ablazement]

[she's sitting somewhere watching a screen, tail swaying back and forth. it's a full tail again, it's not chunked, yay. she still looks like she feels like shit, pale and sweating, but it's okay, she's had worse.

there's nothing going on in particular except for maybe sometimes they see kate at the pyre i guess, idk how this works it's not important.

she looks up when she sees him, with a little half-assed smile. boy. things happen on days, huh.]

[residentmerc]

[ things sure do happen on days! cloud glances at the screen briefly before he looks back at her, frowning a little ]

... I was gonna ask if you're feeling any better from yesterday, but. [ Well. Astarion. ] ... He can show up either tomorrow or Sunday. But he'll be okay when he does.

[ will gale? well! well. ]

w6, TUESDAY

[ablazement]

[i'm sure you've got like 85 of these with the fighty types down here, but today karlach is at the dojo, and she is not so much doing drills as she is just absolutely beating the fuck out of a training dummy with an axe.

it doesn't seem to be out of anger or anything, though. she's just getting the restless energy out.]

[residentmerc]

[ i actually dont this week you get to be special

he comes in and kind of just watches for a little, like a WEIRD CREEP, before: ]

Need an actual partner, or is the dummy good enough?

week 7, friday

[residentmerc]

[ out and about straight up attacking poor defenseless nothings. and by nothings i mean. no that's a weird fuck ass dog he's killing. it's one way to let out anxious feelilngs!!

they paid in rocks to fight but hell if they even know what that'll look like, especially with the cameras turned off, so. killing random monsters for exp it is. ignoring that they cannot level up here. he's finished killing hte one here because i refuse to do fight scenes when he spots karlach ]

... Hey.

[ the feeling is just restless. hi. ]

[ablazement]

[that's so valid i feel like she's probably also came out here to fight dogs but. i don't know if she has a weapon she can use and i refuse to think about this any longer. the point is she's restless too.]

Hey. [she comes up - looks down at the dead monster.]

You climbing the walls too?
