[ he's commandeered a corner of the hotel lobby for himself, and is very happily drinking! a lot! on the couch!

and being drunk is a g r e a t time to buy memories right? right!!!

except this memory of Vanya causing the apocalypse is very, very rough and he's fallen off the couch at some point and is sitting on the ground, staring into space and the bottle of booze held loosely in a hand as he tries not to hyperventilate. ]

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

[liarliarliar]

[going to

pet his hair]

Hey hey hey.

[ouji4board]

Did you-- Did you see that? You didn't see that, right?

[liarliarliar]

Yeah. Yeah, I saw.

[ crouches down in front of him. ] Klaus. Hey. [ reaches out to set a hand on his shoulder. ] Klaus, look at me. [ seeing if she can't get his focus elsewhere at the moment, since it seems like he might completely lose his shit if this keeps up. ]

[ouji4board]

Wha-- Huh?

[420blazeit]

...hey. [ a bit softer. ] Focus on me for just a moment. [ offers a tiny smile. ] ...that was real rough. [ her grip tightens in an attempt to help ground him. ]

[hollywoof]

Am I a passive aggressive, highly nostalgic family board game?

Because oh my god, I am sorry.

[ouji4board]

[ that startles a laugh out of him, and he grins weakly over ]

I like Candyland better.

[hollywoof]

That's certainly the sweeter alternative! You have some heavy memories, friend.

[homicidalrage]

[ So that's how it went for him the first time. He's quiet for a while at that, and once he manages to snap himself out of it, he just reaches for the bottle to put it away ]

Klaus.

[ouji4board]

[ looks over wildly, not really comprehending who he's looking at for a moment before he's making a strangled sound and dragging Five into a hug and gasping wetly ]

Fuck, fuck, fuck! Sorry, sorry, I know you don't-- Let me-- Please--

[homicidalrage]

[ for a moment he really thinks he's talking about the bottle and then it hits that no, he's asking permission for a hug. So he hugs him back, a little awkward but less so than he normally would be ]

It's fine.

[ he's quiet then because he has no idea what to say. He's never considered what confronting a version of one of his siblings that stayed in a ruined timeline would be. he can't say he's fixed it because, well, it's not this Klaus that will see it fixed ]

Just ... cry it out, I guess.

[firstworldproblem]

Klaus.

[He takes his hand and holds it.]

[ouji4board]

Was it my fault?

[temperedinpride]

[Crouching in front of him.]

Take a breath.

[ouji4board]

[ TR I E S? ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Yeah just going to come on over and crouch down in front of him, setting a careful hand on his shoulder]

Hey. Hey. You're here.

[ouji4board]

[ jerking to look up at Hurricane, and then makes grabby motions at ]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ ...

he doesn't really know what to say, so he doesn't... say.

he just reaches out and takes klaus' hand, pulling him up off the ground, and starts -- walking? ]

[ouji4board]

[ where are they going?? it is a mystery. he's going with, though '-' ]

[runawayprince]

[Wow. He will just immediately beeline for poor Klaus and sit in front of him.]

Take a breath. Are you hurt?

[He did just watch him fall out of his seat, essentially.]

[ouji4board]

[ B RE A TH ... . . ]

I'm...okay? I think I'm okay.

[weenwoon]

[well shit FUCK my dude??? Levity also has no goddamn idea how to react to all of that - and, really, it hurts to see Luther being so... cruel. But he doesn't even get the time to focus on that because, uh, everything else happening??

Just, gonna sit down next to Klaus and instantly pull him into a hug, perks of being fellow hug likers.]

H-Hey, hey. Hey now.

[yeah he's also not very good at Words right now but you know sometimes coping is being shocked and useless together?]

[ouji4board]

[ clinging to, gasping raggedly ]
