Grace Is Gone

WHO: Nida Nomura, Some Closed Starters, Otherwise OTA
WHAT: Drinking with Wanda, Missing Persons Announcement, Dangerous habits
WHERE: Wanda's Room, Roof of Dorms
WHEN: August 1st - 7th
WARNINGS: Drinking, Grieving, Possible mentions of death and self-harm.


One Drink To Remember - Closed to Wanda

When he wakes up, bed mostly cold, arms empty, no noise from familiar breathing, his heart aches. This hadn't happened yet, not to someone he knew. Not so far as he knew. Because it definitely hadn't been a year. Not even close. Not even...

Within an hour he's gone to the store and come back, and is knocking on another door in the dorm. Pounding really. He's got a nice tall bottle of vodka, grief in his heart, and someone that needs to know before anyone else. Especially since he couldn't find their information on the network anymore.




Then Another To Forget - OTA

This isn't what he's supposed to do. He knows that. It's not healthy, it's not smart, and it's definitely not what he should be doing, but hey, who needs good life choices? In this case the choice manifests in the form of a young man lying on the edge of the building, a bottle of vodka near at hand, claimed every few minutes for a swig as he stares up at the sky above him.

Is this a risky place to be, especially tipsy? Hell yes. Does Nida care? No. But he does flinch when the door to the roof opens? Yes. Is that possibly bad? Yes.

"Close the door," he'll call, his voice a bit uneven. "You're letting the warm out."

Which he thinks is pretty funny, leaving him chuckling.




Network Post - Audio Only

[Definitely Nida's voice, but also very clearly slurred just enough to imply someone has been drinking. Probably more than he should. Which is any at all.]

For those who would care? Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd are gone.

Filtered to Seifer

Yes, I know. You're disappointed and I shouldn't be drinking. Whatever. Can I borrow Eos for a few nights?


[OOC: Nida is going to be in a bad emotional state, and mostly walking through life a bit broken. He's cool to have custom starters for anyone, just directly message me, hit me on plurk [plurk.com profile] churbooseanon or discord (Churby#4290). I can have something ready rather easily.]

[jason cares that billy’s gone. he wasn’t as close with billy as nida was, obviously, but billy was a friend, showed jason compassion and care at a time when he needed it badly, and he acutely feels the loss that comes with his disappearance.

he knows what it feels like to lose someone you love - it’s happened to him over and over, as those memories that were shared against his will showed. but every loss brings its own unique pain, and jason can only imagine how awful this must be for nida.

he should say something. he should try to comfort nida, who insisted on making jason a part of his family. jason knows he should try, but he told nida he’s shit at being anyone’s family, and he’s felt too much pain and loss already. so he doesn’t try. he doesn’t say anything - not because he doesn’t care, but because he cares too much and he doesn’t know how to manage it except to withdraw into himself, to collect all of the pain he’s accumulated over the years of his life and hold it all close so it doesn’t infect anyone else. it’s the least he can do, right? just stay out of nida’s way and keep from making anything worse.]
