witness ok

[we_meet_again]

[Out for a walk on a nice day, he sits by the lake at the park and takes a memory.

He recalls a rough morning where he got fired from work and goes to an internet cafe to fill out job applications. There, he gets confirmation that his home is gone and everyone he loves is dead. It's a bummer.


...Cobalt's just gonna chill out here and watch the water for a bit.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Takes a seat next to him, not saying anything at first]

[we_meet_again]

[he looks up to see who it is]

...Hey, Intensity.



That was a bummer, but I'm okay.

I was kind of expecting something like that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But you were looking for that final confirmation before you could move on?

[uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh







what do you do in this situation

maybe bring him a bottle of cold jasmine tea from the conbini. . .?]

Re: witness ok

[we_meet_again]

[he looks up when he hears someone approaching]

--Oh. Hey, Moxie. How ya doin'?

Re: witness ok

[nutsandrevolts]

[She holds out the bottle and shakes it at him, an offer to take it.]

I'm right on. This a solo pensive-like staring contest with the water or are ya up fer companionship?

[This seems a good time for fruit sandwiches.

[Wednesday sits down next to him, holding one out.]

Hello, Cobalt-san. I thought I'd have lunch outside today, but I definitely bought too much.

Would you like to join me?

Re: witness ok

[we_meet_again]

[Takes it automatically before even really processing who this is or what's going on.

It takes him a second for his brain to catch up.]

--Oh, thank you. That'd be really nice, actually.

Re: witness ok

[wonderlandgirl]

Oh, good. I'm glad.

[She starts taking things out of her tote bag and yes, she really did bring far too much. A decent amount of this looks homemade, actually.]

Actually, I was hoping I'd run into you. Well, any of my friends would have been nice, but someone like you especially. I keep thinking we should make plans more often.

[tenebraecious]

[quietly taking a seat next to him, feeling the water with one hand for a spell]

Re: witness ok

[we_meet_again]

[he sighs and rests his head on his knees]

You can see why I put off memories so long.

Re: witness ok

[tenebraecious]

But you chose to now . . . Why?

[firstworldproblem]

[There will be a long shadow cast over him. Motioning to the spot next to him.]

May I?

[we_meet_again]

[gesturing for him to sit]

Please.

[firstworldproblem]

[Tucking his legs under him as he sits.]

Would you care to express what has just transpired or would you like a distraction?

Re: witness ok

[justfuckingtryit]

[Just... comes and sits next to him, not saying anything]

Re: witness ok

[we_meet_again]

[He sighs and puts his head on his knees.]

Well.

I kinda suspected.



...Still sucks, though.

Re: witness ok

[justfuckingtryit]

...yeah.

[Leans against him a little, so that their shoulders are touching]

It sucks a lot.

[bondsofsuffering]

[...Oh. This isn't really something to just intrude on willy-nilly. He gives it a little time to sink in before he speaks up, voice uncharacteristically quiet.]

...Damn. I'm sorry.

[we_meet_again]

It's okay.

—I mean, it's not, really. But I kinda already figured, you know?

This was just... confirmation, I guess.

[he tosses a pebble into the lake. plunk.]

Bummer.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Text incoming]

hurricane: hey
hurricane: u doing ok?

Re: witness ok

[we_meet_again]

Cobalt: yeah. i'm okay.
Cobalt: that was kind of a downer but i suspected it would be, so.
Cobalt: just gotta process my feelings

Re: witness ok

[inspiteful]

[ That moment when you aren't really sure what to say to all that. ...Or if there really is anything that he should say, for that matter.

It takes him a while to approach. ]

You want something to drink?

Re: witness ok

[we_meet_again]

[it takes him a second for his brain to come back to the present]

...Ah, hey, Eclipse.

Yeah. A drink might be good. Thanks.
