[OOOOUGH IT'S THE FUCKIN CHURCH. Siffrin is so cute...
Lucas is back in his usual outfit which is distinctly less comfy, but at least makes him look right at home in a church. He'd been hanging out at a back pew, but it's quiet enough in here to catch even a soft mumble, so he pipes back in response:]
[If Siffrin goes exploring the caves today and stumbles across the room with pink clouds, he'll find it's already occupied! The door opens into a small hospital room, quaint in size and structure. There's a single wooden chair and the windowsills are lined with flowers. There's one wooden chair beside the single cot, upon which a young girl rests. She appears very frail and sickly, the blue of her veins prominent in her rail-thin arms.
Lucas stands by the bedside, gazing down on her with tears in his eyes. They shed RUDELY AND BEAUTIFULLY when he turns to face the opened door, though. He just blinks them away, raising a hand to delicately dab at his cheeks.]
[ Oh, Siffrin is so clearly interrupting here stars they're such a MONSTER. They were hoping they were quiet enough, as to quietly sneak away and leave him in peace but... no, unfortunately caught.
They flinch just a little, tugging a bit at their hat as if guilty. ]
Sorry, I - didn't mean to interrupt... [ It feels terrible just to leave him alone though. Concern flickering across their face as they grip at their cloak a little. ] ..Are you alright?
[ sees me gathering so many aki threads and being afraid your ass better not be tutorial again
anyways, Siffrin is chilling outside the cave in the cusp of night beginning to flow with the beginning peeks of the stars. Though he perks a little as he catches sight of Lucas and offers a small wave and smile. ]
[ Somewhere outside, this blob of white can be found just sitting and staring up at the sky, though sits up as they catch sight of Lucas and offer a small wave. Once he's close enough, though... ]
..Thanks. For earlier today. Sorry if it.. caused you any trouble.
Siffrin flavor is a winged fella, wings a fluffy soft white that poof just a little. They hang loosely at their back like they aren't too sure what to do with them.
They seem to be peering around at the flowers around for the taking. Hmmm.. They get a couple of yellow Jasmines after staring very hard at them. They're about to shuffle away until they catch sight of Lucas and they go !! and walk on over before holding said flowers out. ]
[WHY IS SIF THE CUTEST PERSON TO EXIST!!!!!! MY GOD!!!!!!! that's me aki, but Lucas also finds this gesture incredibly endearing, and it shows in his expression after the little blip of surprise.]
Oh! Goodness... Thank you so much, dear. [He will reach out to take them gently!!] They're so lovely. These flowers look light to you, yes?
Sometime after the announcement, Lucas can be found sitting on the beach a bit outside of the mouth of the cave. He's just staring in the direction of the water, seemingly zoning out, but he snaps to attention pretty much the second anyone else approaches the area. Once he registers Siffrin, though, he'll just dip his head into a little nod.]
Hello, dear... Holding up alright?
Edited (it will still be hell on sat) 2025-02-21 21:18 (UTC)
[ Takes forever because i was like what if but then i got lazy, anyways Siffrin is just sitting by the cave staring up at the sky. Their expression is just empty, void of nothing.
At least their white chao settled in their lap peeks over and sees Lucas, offering a timid wave. ]
[HELP. honestly valid. me as i starve like damn everyone gets my most brainfried tags on saturday nights
He'll make his way over to them, though! And give their lil chao a wave back, smiling warmly in spite of the faint sadness that's been lingering all throughout the last couple of days.]
[ Makes this LATE MONDAY for the most obvious reasons... congratulations, you get the fucked up prompt! YIPPEE! Here we are at the darkwoods.
Which is to say, there's a white blur with staggering steps until they collapse down. Their hands seem to scramble for something, a glint of their dagger, and without hesitation the sharp end is placed right against their neck. For those knowledgeable, anybody would know that just one slice against the area there is enough to end a life instantly.
Their body is heaving with panic breaths, with a chorus of gasping words that only mutter in a mantra of: ] Loop back loopbackloopback.
[ Everything is soooo okay. THIS THE WORST EFFECT TO HAPPEN TO THEM. ]
Siffrin is truly going through it my god. WELL. He'd just been strolling leisurely through the darkwoods, seemingly not ruffled by the fact that he is sooo lost because it's like, fine? It's not like the Angels would let them die out here, surely! So he's a bit startled to see the sudden blur, and even more startled to see what unfolds next. It takes his brain a second to process what his eyes are seeing, but he's taking off like a shot before it fully does anyway.]
The boyo is at the gazebo though! Just hanging out, taking a second to catch a breather and reorient himself after the last 30 minutes of that. Yves is going to kill him. He feels ancient. But whenever he spots Siffrin, despite the fact that he'd been zoning out a bit beforehand, he just gestures them over.]
[WAHOO THE VOID FROM HELL slides u my menu in return... can't wait to die in a game of painpong all week...
This is such a start! Wow! THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE AND THEN IT TOOK SUCH A SHARP TURN!!!! Lucas is literally so disoriented by the shift that he's left blinking owlishly after the memory ends, the vestiges of panic still clutching at him. What a frightening thing. How horrible, tasting victory - a victory he was confused by in the back of his mind, because Siffrin had implied they died on the way to fight the king, hadn't they? - only to lose it in such a blindingly confusing way. It takes him a second to calm himself internally, even though externally, the only things denoting his distress are the hand that immediately rises to rest against his chest and the wide way his eyes stare first at the mirrors and then at Siffrin.
HELLO.]
...What— ...was happening to you?
[Said a bit quietly, considering even they didn't seem to know.]
[YOU TOO ARE A HATEFUL CREATURE but Lucas will just be in the hospital already for Yves, so of course he's going to go check on Siffrin. How's the gender neutral lad...]
[ TERRIBLE. Mostly because they seem frenzied, like they're in the middle of a brutal nightmare, hardly caring if their bandages start to bleed with reopening injuries in their attempt to look around.
Oh, their eyepatch isn't currently on since the strap was torn a little and hangs from their hand. There's a pretty nasty and ugly scar over their dead eye, but who cares when they got something important to look for. ]
[ HEHE. Siffrin looks clean (enough) again even if they may or may not be sporting even more bandages under their clothes, even if he's sniffling now and then. Like the day before, their emotions seem to be a constant dull hollowness, depression void, and an endless pang of intense food hunger.
We are wandering Candy land's hedge maze today! Siffrin is a bit distracted, but once he sees Lucas there's blips of warmth and familial affection. ]
Lu, hello. Sorry, I meant to say it yesterday but, thanks for healing Jiaoqiu.
[ As Siffrin got stupidly injured even more the day before. ]
[SIF YOUR FUCKING DEPRESSION VOID. On the other hand, Lucas' emotions are all very mild and level in a way that might be soothing to be around. There's a curl of concern when he feels this sad vibe, though the blips of warmth and affection are met with much the same from him; just a gentle roll of fondness despite the way he just shakes his head a little, feigning mild exasperation.]
You all really don't make it easy, you know. I do wish that we had more of those bandaids...
[At least they got 50% of you fucks, though.]
But I'm glad I was able to help, even though I wish I could have helped all of you. How are you healing...?
[PEERING AT THEM as they sniffle. He missed the fckin mini cyoa return and no one has mentioned it to him yet.]
[ Today is exhausting, the emotions are a static muffle but there is a lingering fond and warmth as Siffrin seems to be peering at a letter. Though, he'll perk up and shuffle quietly over to Lucas when he sees him. ]
[SWEET SIF. The emotions today are also just mellow! Just a big mellow cloud that seems to hang like a blanket, muffling other emotions below it. There's a bit of tiredness as well, and the reflexive fondness on seeing Sif comes through a bit stronger, but mostly it's just calm.]
THAT ALL HAPPENED HE GUESSES. They can just stand here in the coliseum with their treasure chest and headband, gently dripping from being spray bottled from the sky for trying to fight a lion. And also from Siffrin almost drowning apparently. Lucas is just quiet for a second before looking skyward.]
[ tch, Ty really said no injuries for you chucklefucks
Not only were they drenched today once, but twice. One different from the other given the SPRAY LIKE THEY ARE NAUGHTY KITTENS. Siffrin stares at their loot then looks up, too. ]
..It feels like we got scolded by them.
[ WHAT ELSE WAS THERE TO EXPECT IN AN ARENA, GOD... ]
[Welcome to the thunderdome! He'd been sitting on the floor in a posture of prayer when they enter, but after that point, he'll just move over toward the bars.]
Anyway after a little time has passed, Lucas is going to just HUNT SIFFRIN DOWN. WHEREMST. He will not stop until he finds this sad little ball of a person who just got brutally bludgeoned to death in 4K.]
[ WHA DA HAEL IS WRONG WITH EVERYTHING OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Do we dare venture out, Siffrin is contemplating where to go but will offer a wave at Lucas.
[AT SOME TIME AFTER ALL OF THE HULLABALOO OF THE DAY he will go find Siffrin and approach! With some concern because what the fck not a flower of misfortune.]
[ Let's go.. to the beach beach. In which, Siffrin is waddling just a bit in the waters.
A bit further up on the shore they've set aside their shoes, socks, cloak and hat. Just in their black turtleneck and pants though their pants are a bit rolled up. Crouching to set sail a cute little wooden toy boat that starts to swim into the sea yippee. ]
WEEKEND 0, SATURDAY
Anyways, Siffrin is here in a.. comfy fit? Just looking at everything with a curious and puzzled look. Mumbling quietly... ]
..I guess they have different beliefs here than the Change faith.

I was, yes! The evenings are so lovely here and being by the water reminds me of home... Are you enjoying the cave? Coming out for a bit of fresh air?
