Waking the Dead 2.0 || Between the Lines || Alistair and Kaz; March 2063

[personal profile] ktotheatothez 2013-12-30 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaz has rather grown to love the little rooftop perch Alistair showed him. He's taken to meditating up here most days, and some nights. Nights that have left him drenched in a cold sweat and a perturbed mind.

Tonight is one such night - one where he hasn't heard or seen his Máistir at all.

He's sitting on the the roof, legs crossed. He's only wearing a tank top, sweats and sneakers. The Wings of Therion are strapped to his back, his phone is in his pocket and he almost prays Alistair shows up.

Because who else can I talk to about this anyway?

Wow, you look like shit.

[And that has somehow become Kaz's default phrase when he sees Alistair all dusty, and scruffy. His mentor looks as bad as he does (then again he doesn't need to shave as much).]

To answer your question, yes it is. But I can't sleep.

[He draws a tin from his pocket, containing a freshly opened pack of the same smokes that Nico likes. Clearly this is one night that he can officially say that he's stressed enough to smoke.

Just like I promised, Hikaru.

His lighter is a trinket that Nico gave him a few days ago, upon finding his beloved boyfriend lighting up on the balcony of his condo, and he smirks a little as he lights up, proffering the pack at Alistair. And because his mentor likes the whole give it to me straight routine, Kaz drags off on his cigarette, breathes out and doesn't miss a beat when he says:
]

I'm having nightmares again...

[personal profile] ktotheatothez 2013-12-30 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
And it's stressing me out. You sealed them, which is why they don't say much anymore... Except that sometimes I'm back at the Battle for the Vatican - and I'm not watching Godhand Lowe. I am Godhand Lowe.

[He pauses and takes a good, long drag off of his cig, flicking the ash away as he brings it away from his lips.]

I'm probably being impertinent, but I can admit to being a tiny bit freaked if they're somehow eking into my mind.

The night after Hikaru and Brig's bro out at his place?

[personal profile] atlas_shrugged 2014-02-11 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
SENT: 07:00 AM
Good morning, sir. I had a talk with Hikaru the other night and found footage of what he'd shared with me. I was wondering if I could speak to you about it when you're free. I saw that you were there for him.

Thank you, sir. I apologize for asking for your time.


[ The video of Hikaru's awakening in his 27th life cycle, and of Akihiko's death, are still playing back in his mind ]
atlas_shrugged: (Default)

Why the heck does he have his rifle at the South Gate?? Same reason Brig has his shield evarwhere?

[personal profile] atlas_shrugged 2014-02-11 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
SENT: 07:05 AM
Be there in a jiffy, sir.


[ Brig runs from where he is on the Falner Estate and arrives at the Main Gate a good 20 minutes later. He doesn't see Alistair anywhere. ]

SENT: 07:28 AM
Sir, I'm at the Main Gate but I'm not quite sure where you are.

Re: Yep! Hahaha.

Waking the Dead 2.0 // May 5, 2063

[personal profile] inqdeirdra 2014-02-14 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Deirdra's husband, Gideon may be old, but he's young enough to remember that it's the birthday of a certain Alistair Mordechai. She asks him if she got the date right. Upon Gideon's confirmation, she promptly shoots a text to Alistair. ]

SENT: 06:30 PM
Hello, happy birthday Alistair. Hope everything is relatively good.
Rilea still dusts your favorite chair out by the patio.

[personal profile] inqdeirdra 2014-02-14 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She sets her phone down and starts this awkward dance between objects and people, where she asks Gideon whether he thinks Alistair is coming or not. Then, she picks up a few bottles then sets them down again, thinks about it, then picks them up again. THEN, she asks *whoever is at home, maybe Calintz or Rilea* if THEY think Alistair is coming this year or not, then does the awkward bottle thing again.

Finally, she settles to bringing out two 6-packs and waits by the patio. ]

Waking the Dead 2.0 : 5 May 2063, Late Evening : Those who have the most, live the longest.

[personal profile] kinesthesia 2014-02-24 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ There are perks to being a shapechanger, such as looking like a mundane-looking fox that can lift a six pack of beer in it's mouth with relative ease ( she's up-ended bigger things before -- completely by accident -- like the oven she crawled under and lifted by mistake because something bit her tail and of course she ended up jerking to her feet ) while maneuvering up the walls towards an intended target.

She would have brought more, but walking on all fours is quicker than walking on two; the trade-off being one mouth in place of two hands.

Trotting over now, tail swishing like a puppy happy to see it's master, before she plunks down her butt to squint at you because Mindspeech has that awkward stipulation of eye contact first.

Come on, Alistair. She brought you some birthday booze? ]
kinesthesia: (081.)

[personal profile] kinesthesia 2014-02-24 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a soft clink as she sets her present down.

( I know. ) Yeah, won't even try to get you to say that you're glad to see her.

Peering at that leg, and then looking back up. ( The lot of you are so bad at house arrest. ) ]

larue: (my pride in the ground)

10 Aug 2063 "for a first effort this feels kinda last ditch / I guess this just got kinda drastic"

[personal profile] larue 2014-04-15 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ It has been a long, long day.

Josh had gone to the Kaiser's class early ( an hour before everyone else ) to kick back and go through the readings he needed to catch up on. Only not really, because Liandrin Delacroix's syllabus was nearly the same as his last class -- don't go there, LaRue; don't think about that one -- whoops, too late.

He's not particularly proud of the way he just... goes through the motions. He does ask questions, but they are few and far between throughout those three hours. When the bell rings, he packs up and deliberately makes a beeline towards the football field for his first day of training with the team.

He barely remembers any of it, but he knows that he did good. The game is something that his body still remembers and he should be surprised about this given that he's gone without it for so long and tossing around the ball and running through old plays with his boys that one time in San Diego really, really doesn't count at all.

But... it's all about going through those motions and barely really taking anything in because his head might be in the right space at the right time -- but his heart isn't. Thank goodness he's got some practice in hiding that. Yeah, let's not talk about the looks and the pats and the invite to go hang that he'd turned down -- nobody pressed, which was a relief.

He doesn't go home. Instead, he takes dinner at King's Rest and plugs into a movie he listens to mostly to distract him, but he doesn't finish that either and he leaves as quietly as he'd come in.

It's part deliberate and part-not that he finds himself on that wall, close to the spot where he'd found Alistair that last time weeks and weeks ago before he'd learned about... everything.

He's sitting down at that, tablet on his lap, one earbud plugged in even if there's nothing on the screen.

He should have done this sooner, but well... hm. ]
larue: (now the memory's on the wall)

[personal profile] larue 2014-04-15 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ He glances up, offers the Seer a nod in greeting and just quietly watches as Alistair sets up.

Sorry, Mr. Mordechai. This one's going to be quiet for a little longer. In the eloquent slang of the early 2010s: he cannot words. ]

Waking the Dead 2.0 | Arcadia: Dé Máirt (Tuesday), 20th of Samhain.

[personal profile] kinesthesia 2015-02-10 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ This is the sum total of Cisco Montelibano-Profaci's time in the Lightless Lands: wake up, have breakfast, play runner for Yue for the chunk of her morning, lunch followed by a nap in the courtyard by Aidan's tail, more running because being a healer's errand girl is both fun and there's just so much to see in Arcadia; then dinner, then sleep. Wash, rinse, repeat.

She resisted the urge to fret over you when you and Lorenzo came back looking like someone had given you both a sound beating. She didn't say a thing about that, because stating the obvious would have been putting salt on the wound of an already perpetually grumpy Rivers-Hunter and she's heard enough horror stories and then some about how Arcadia makes a body inclined to be more themself in ways that said body would usually think twice about. She's nosy by nature, this is proven fact. How not to be nosy means making sure she doesn't have idle hands.

When she wanders down to the little house that doubles as your clinic though, she does so on four tiny feet with a basket of food from the castle and a bottle of the good stuff that she nicked from the kichen.

Nothing wrong with bringing you a little something to make you feel better about being grounded for a while, right? ]

[ Any other time, she might have decided to trot on over, basket carried in her mouth, tail swishing. But the ring gives her a moment's pause and she wonders if she should probably go, maybe leave the basket on a table with a note.

That would have been her M.O. years ago, but it's not the way she does things now.

The change doesn't take long, and she's deliberate in making sure that you hear the fall of her footsteps, careful as they are before she comes to stand beneath the arch of the door. ]
