thirteen [voice/action/just terrible]

[Mid-morning is drawing near, and the house is too quiet. Martel should have been awake already. Despite the uncertainty that has settled heavily between him and his sister, there are plenty of things Mithos does still know about her, and this is definitely out of the ordinary. Softly, he knocks at her door. No reply. With a knot of worry tightening in his stomach, he carefully pushes the door open to look inside and...

He's greeted by an empty room. No sister, none of her personal possessions. No sign that anyone had ever occupied this space. Only one conclusion sits at the end of this equation. Numbness overtakes his body and heart. Desperate, his mind fights against the truth; he runs for his journal and hastily, shakily, flips it open.]


[VOICE - filtered to Martel | filter VOIDED]

Martel? Martel! Where are--

[--He stops. The filter isn't working. She can't hear this. His journal falls from his hands and the feed ends. The chilling realization that she's gone pierces him as suddenly as the first time she was taken from him. Classic vertigo. He doesn't know how to breathe properly. He forgets how to stand on two feet and slowly crumples to the floor. He doesn't fall to pieces; that would imply that there's something left to break. Whatever remains is quickly grinding to dust. He lets it out, the pain that's rapidly smothering him from the inside. But no matter how much he diffuses, there's still more to take its place.]

[ACTION - AFTERNOON]

[He's scraped himself up off the floor (for now) and run out of tears (for now), and he needs someone to blame. Anyone. He doesn't care. The only truth of the world: Martel is gone, and he deserves compensation for his loss. Everyone owes him something, and he owes them retribution. Mithos prowls the village, looking for any and all opportunities to inflict some of his own pain on a scapegoat.

Later, when he's exhausted his body but his hurt and rage continue to burn, when he's hit the point where he can't feel any emptier, he reaches for the journal again. It's all he can think to do.]

...Can I come see you?

[ooc: For my own sake, chronologically the threads flow as follows: Frey, Nephry/Dist, Jeb, Silver, Grune/Dhaos, Kratos, Kaori.]

[Dhaos grabs Grune's hand and pulls her away; he's fairly sure even Mithos isn't foolish enough to attack again, but he doesn't want them anywhere near each other. Grune has repeatedly shown an inability to not offer her help, so it's up to Dhaos to keep her away from the angry half-elf.]

Then stay away from Grune, and I may ignore your existence.

[Grune can't help herself: the motion jars her injured shoulder and she gasps. She stifles it as best she can.]

[This is where he'd normally warn against coming anywhere near his sister, but....well. Instead, he'll give a dark look that unmistakably communicates go die in a fire, before sharply turning to hobble off. It's not even worth it anymore.]

[Dhaos' eyes flick towards Grune in a brief moment of concern before he redirects his concentration into glaring at Mithos. Once the half-elf is a safe distance away, then he'll turn to Grune.

...He not only injured her, he's agitated the injury as well.]


...Come.

[He turns away, pulling Grune along behind him-- a little more gently this time.]

All right. [Her voice isn't quite as strong as always, but she does her best to keep it level, and to keep up.

She hopes Mithos will be able to find someone to look after him and to cheer him up soon.]
