WHERE Wherever you'd be at night
WHEN Day 1, night
NOTES aj said i was allowed to make a new post

[So, you've survived your first—or fiftieth, or five-hundredth—day in Quiet Mounds. Tonight, it's raining—or, it's not. Maybe you're trying to get used to your new, quiet apartment. The electricity is buzzing in that way that's hard to ignore, a silence so loud it's deafening, in that poetic sort of way.]

[Or maybe you're one of the sad sacks still working at the 24/7 joints. Or their why-am-I-even-up-this-late customers. You're the reason why capitalism does this to people, you know.]

[ yyyeeEEEESSS RAIN.

For whatever reason the airborne static seems all that much stronger around this guy(who's since changed back into his fancy long blue robes, screw that jean and t-shirt nonsense) near the lake, crackling in blue arcs over his hair and body and between his horns. He's soaked completely through, face tipped up to the sky, and seems pretty relaxed. ]

[A HOT BARISTA, WORKING THE DEAD OF NIGHT SHIFT AT THE FANCY LUXE. He takes a moment to look outside at the rain, since it's pretty slow right now]

[knocks on Medren's room]

Can I come in?

[or hey anyone who has Stef's number can text him]

Yeah, it's open—

[a little distractedly. he messed up the blinds on his window and is fiddling with them, trying to get them parallel again.]

[crawls onto Medren's bed]

No.... that's wrong. THAT'S wrong too. And that...

Do you need me to toss a blanket over your head like a cloth over a birdcage, or is the texture of the blanket going to have the same effect?

Nothing can shut me up.

I'd be a little alarmed if something did. Hah!

[that last sound was triumphant, because he fixed the stupid flimsy blinds!! great success.]

Victory for Medren. I shall write about it.

[flops next to]

Truly, it was an epic struggle.

I could tell.

...Hey, Medren? Did you... see...

[Kaito of course is in bed at a no--

Lol no, who sleeps.

He's using his few precious hours off work to browse the library, not looking for something particular so much as something interesting.]

...

[flops his head over onto Stef's shoulder]

Yeah.

...that's wrong, too.

[breathing very shallowly to not start crying]

Are you okay? It must be weird—he's your uncle—

Of the three of us, it's got to be the least weird for me.

[come here it's cuddles time]

[rolls into him, sobbing]

[just holding him, face pressed against his hair]

Shhh... shhh... it's all right...

Wh-what do I do? He's alive, but he's—

[ sleep is great but you know what, rain is so much better.

those of you who happen to be braving the water (or working) might run into her splashing excitedly about town, soaked completely through and obviously disgustingly pleased with that state of affairs. if you get close enough you can hear her humming under her breath... though it sounds enough like the way the power is buzzing tonight the two are difficult to distinguish from each other. ]

If I manage to wrap my head around it enough to answer that question with something better than "take it one day at a time," you'll be the first to know, I promise...

[gulps heavily, trying to calm himself down]

I would have been three.

[gentle hair tug]

You should have seen his face when I asked if he had a small nephew named Medren.

[ that low electrical background hum grows in volume before crackling loudly as she pops back into corporeality with a few arcs of her own, though he could probably sense her approach regardless ]

Good evening ♪ Letting your hair down?

[sort of laugh-cries] They grow up so fast in Forst Reach.

[well, this guy is bedraggled and wet, dragging his feet as he makes his way through the dark street at night, hands in his pockets, not really watching where he's going. sad boy? danger to society? lost and confused? who knows]
