When you get this -- get back to me right away, alright?

[/end filter.]

[filter to friends & acquaintances of 'Charlie,' aka The Question; dictated]

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but... it seems Charlie's gone back-- ah. Home.

[...;( luckily, not too many people know what that means for the poor bastard.

Abel doesn't have much more to say than that; it seems all good things come to an end and this is no exception. his 'family' here couldn't last forever, and it had been... very good, while it lasted. time to go give what's left of it a big hug; the journal shuts quietly. he'll get back to your replies if you when he's done SQUISHING THE LIFE out of certain adorable children and badass women in a most conciliatory fashion.]

Comments

[guiding]

[She is sorry to hear that Percival has gone, though she knows it has hit Abel harder than her... still, even with that, she can see something more is bothering him.

Sliding her arms around him from behind, she pressed her lips to his cheek gently. She's here, and she will be patient until he wants to talk about it.]

room filter forever!?!

[bloodsugar]

[he had just closed the journal and leaned back in his chair with a huff -- mm, Wade wasn't going to take it well, he imagined... when he felt Lilith's arms around him from behind.

he tilts his head up a bit; dark skin, bright red hair and he knows it's her. some of the tension leaks out of his shoulders as he rests his hand atop hers.]

You snuck up on me...

FOREVER

[guiding]

[Her head tilts slightly so that she can press a kiss into his hair, soft silver hair tickling her nose.]

Perhaps you were just looking the wrong way?

[bloodsugar]

[haha. that is a very likely alternative! he lets his eyes close at the familiar and fond touch. ;; wifey...]

I am always doing that.

[guiding]

Why don't you tell me what you see where you're looking now?

[Tell her your troubles, husband.]

Padre

[mouthiness]

[Deadpool knows EXACTLY what that means]

Wha- No he... He can't be gone.

Wade

[bloodsugar]

[alksjdf Wade ;((( his voice is quieter for him, apologetic.]

I'm... sorry. His nameplate is gone, Wade.

Padre

[mouthiness]

No no no he wasn't supposed to leave! He needs to come back now!

[He sounds like a kid here but fuck if he cares because his bb is gone ): ]

Wade

[bloodsugar]

[WADE you're breaking his heart ;;]

...He would, if he could. You know that.

Padre

[mouthiness]

[The heart breaking has just begun!!! ]

He can't though because now he's back home and you know what happens to him back home, right? He's can't come back from that.

Abel

[likethetragedy]

What's wrong? [She's expecting some kind of disaster here.]

Elektra

[bloodsugar]

Can you meet me somewhere?

Abel

[likethetragedy]

I can be at the church in five minutes or less. [Probably less.]

Elektra

[bloodsugar]

I'll see you soon.

church filter forever

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra is busting through the doors about three minutes later. She's got the wrong impression of what this will be about. She expects this to be some kind of dire emergency.]

Abel?

Abel

[gevurah]

[ Bad news, hm. It's more of a reality for her, what happens to him back home. Nothing she can do about that, right? ]

I see.

Kate

[bloodsugar]

...I'm sorry. [she knows... right? they're from the same world, even if he's not sure how they relate to each other time-wise, but... it's likely.]

Abel

[gevurah]

Don't be. These things are bound to happen eventually.

Kate

[bloodsugar]

You're right, but...

...I don't know. You've always been a strong person, haven't you, Miss Kate?

[...not that he believes it, deep down. that she isn't hurt, somewhere...]

Abel

[gevurah]

[ It does feel strange; it's always strange when one of the older residents gets sent back. Not knowing the reason or how these things happen... it's a bit frustrating. ]

I suppose, Father. [ wait. ] Thank you.

filter

[blabs]

...Oh.

[ she knows she shouldn't be shocked but... no :( ]

You're sure?

filter

[bloodsugar]

Ah-- Miss Nudge...? [...;( oh no his heart...]

I'm... sorry. I'm sure.

[blabs]

[ :'( ........... she takes a moment. this never gets easier, not matter how any times it happens. ]

I... I hadn't talked to him in a while. I just thought he was being all hermit-crabby and stuff.

filter;

[bloodsugar]

[babby...]

Charlie did have a habit of that... didn't he?

Maybe we should call him Hermit, next time he shows up around here. [because he will, kiddo. he will and it'll be fine and he'll remember. ;(]

filter;

[blabs]

[ she sniffs a little bit. ]

I hope he does. I really do, and I'll call him Hermit forever.

Isn't that selfish, though? To want him to come back? He probably has his own life to get on with.
