Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"

[He closes the final panel on her arm, setting his tools aside.] If there's one thing I've learned, it's that we can't control everything. Sometimes we can barely control anything at all.

I understand. [He has no words of comfort for forgetting. His own memories are patchwork in places, in the darker times of his life. Charles had managed to resurrect the good ones once, from his childhood. But he's lost chunks of time since then. In the Pentagon, in the thrall of En Sabah Nur... even going back to his house a couple of months ago. He knows he did it, and he remembers some things. Seeing the charred-out husk left by the rage of the townspeople he'd bereaved had shorted out something in him, going dark, and the next thing he clearly remembers is opening the barn.

He shakes his head.]


The mind is a terrible thing like that.

I don't know if it's worse, that other people can do that to you, or that your own brain can do it on its own.

[She slowly wiggles the fingers on her left hand, moving them one at a time, then in sequence, then closing then into a fist from loose to tight. That feels satisfying, even if everything else is full of dread.]

Thank you, Erik. For fixing my arm. And understanding.

[She will never breathe a word of this to Vision, or Charles, or Winter, assuming he's still taking to her once he wakes up. But she hadn't expected Erik to listen and not be disappointed in her for fucking up so badly, and that helps just as much as the repair work.]

You're welcome. [If he has talents in this area, he ought to use them where he can. Wrath is a friend - this is the least he can do, even if his advice is lacking, and his history littered with failures.]

Were you busy, when I called you?
exothermia: (The world goes round)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-11-07 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
No. I'm usually not. [He does very little, these days. Erik starts packing his toolset up.]
pain_train: (i wish i could remember)

[personal profile] pain_train 2016-11-07 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is that a good thing or bad thing? She hates not being busy, but some people seem to like it.]

Do you mind if I stick with you for a while? I'll be quiet.

[She trusts Erik and feels safe around him. And in this case, she knows he's not going to make a big deal about things, which is what she really wants as well.]
exothermia: (And sunny days)

[It's a terrible thing, but he's not capable of the alternative. Learning to exist in a state where he has no purpose is exhausting.

The question makes him pause as he snaps the toolbox shut. He nods, with a faint trace of bewilderment in his expression.]


You can. Is there anything you want to do? [He'd only intended on going back to the Heron. That likely wouldn't work now, so there must be something on the Iskaulit instead they can do... or a room they can exist in.]
pain_train: (back against the wall)

[personal profile] pain_train 2016-11-10 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I just don't want to be by myself. It gets too noisy when your the only person in a room sometimes, you know?

[She thinks about it.]

I don't know. Like normally, I'd watch stupid vids with Winter or knit or something. I work on the mural a lot when I don't know what to do with myself.
exothermia: (Everywhere I go)

[personal profile] exothermia 2016-11-10 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He does know, though he won't say so. He both clings to his solitude and hates it, at times.

After a moment's thought, he picks up his toolbox and indicates she should follow him.]


We'll find something.
pain_train: (confidence)

Wrap?

[personal profile] pain_train 2016-11-12 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wrath follows, giving a firm nod that indicates she trusts whatever Erik comes up with absolutely. She may not be good at very many things, but unshakable faith is one of them.]

Okay.
