FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, MY FELLOW LUCETIANS

[fourteen]

Who: EVERYONE
What: TRAUMA!
When: ALL THE TIME
Where: ANYWHERE
Summary: HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE TRAUMA. FREE FOR ALL IN THE SCARRING EXPERIENCES DEPARTMENT.
Rating: Gosh. I'm not sure. However, I suggest you hide your little'uns.

Basically, the purpose of this log is TRAUMA SPAM. If you didn't want to spam your flist with extra posts, or you wanted to post with more than one character -- or more than one character more than once! -- here is your place to be.

This will be a commentspam style log where you can thread start with your character hallucinating things. Whatever you wish it to be! It can even just be a more general thread start where they're not hallucinating anything -- yet. And each thread can get treated like a post, where that character's CR can react to the trauma going down!

If you still wish to actually post in your character's journal, you're of course totally allowed to do so. This is just here for funtiems and convenience for everyone who wanted a greater chance to post during this event! Feel free to use it anytime over the next few days, through Halloween, to do "posts" and threads with your characters.

Have at, guys!

[Wait. That's no good. He frowns, crouching down a little to be level with her. ...which to her is a going to look like the ostrich did that. But.]

Eeeh... Xion-chan, you seem a little out of it.

[fourteen]

[ oh god. brb, pressing her hands over her eyes so she can't be confused by what the fuck is actually up with Kida's costume. her voice comes out a bit muffled as she speaks with her face in her hands. ]

I'm just trying to get away from everything that's been ... happening.

1/2

[generalflirt]

Well...

[generalflirt]

How about we go on a date? [He says this with a broad smile and leaning in all even closer to her.

...Ignore that it's night]

[ That makes her look up. Kida...

On an ostrich...

As evening falls, which is dangerous...

Asking her...

On a date.

She is so utterly nonplussed it's all she can do to blink at him for a moment, her anxieties forgotten. ]

... right now? [ a beat ] Isn't that something girlfriends and boyfriends do?

[generalflirt]

Ooooh? Don't break my heart, Xion-chan!! I was opening it up for you to come insiiiiide! [And he puts his hand on his heart, grinning ear to ear]

[fourteen]

[ she stares at him some more, until finally she's unable to help a tiny smile. ]

You're so strange, Kida. [ she gets to her feet ] But it's getting late. After too long it won't be safe to be outside anymore.

[generalflirt]

Oooh? [He stands too, smiling at first] Well then, maybe you can stay over at my-

[generalflirt]

[But then, out of the corner of his eye, he thinks he sees something. The glances over instantly, it distracting him mid-sentence. ...But, low and behold, it's just a reflection in the water of Xion. Haha... to think he thought it might be Saki...

The lighting must be poor]

[fourteen]

[ she pauses when he does, blinking. ]

... Kida? Is something wrong?

[generalflirt]

Eeeh... [He turns back to her, putting a strained smile back on his face] I just thought I saw something~ it's dark out.

[fourteen]

... Kida, we're all going through it right now. It's not just the light and you know it. [ small, sad, sympathetic smile. ]

1/2

[generalflirt]

[...Mm. Probably not, no]

[generalflirt]

So, Xion-chan, you're really going to shoot me down? [About the date, that is. Much happier topic, that]

[fourteen]

... shoot you down? You mean...

[ about the ... date ... thing. that's ... er ... well, she turns a little pink, but looks strangely uncertain. ]

Well, it's just ... there's someone I... [ eep. um. ... eep. ] Not that we're... we're not dating, so... But I still, um... [ she shifts. WHAT DO? ]

[generalflirt]

[..Oh my? He smirks a little] Ooooooh! I have a rival for Xion-chan's affections?

[fourteen]

[ yep, bright pink. xion can blush like a pro. ]

It's... um, it's a little complicated... [ wilts, slightly. ] We were dating. But then he said something... something bad, and after that... It just hasn't been the same. I don't, um... [ rubs the back of her neck. awkward turtle to the max right here. ]

[generalflirt]

Eeeh. But don't you still like him? [Mind you, he can understand what she means. Sorta. His own situation is different but Saki is not his girlfriend because of it]

[fourteen]

I -- I do. [ no longer pink, but instead pretty much red. this is terrible. ] But he ... he betrayed my trust, Kida. I still don't know how... [ to get past that. but she trails off because she doesn't know how to say it. ]

[generalflirt]

[...Mm. He sighs and then says, flatly] Then I guess you just need to fall out of love with a guy like that.

[He glares at the water at this point, but there's clearly a lot of dark sentiment behind him saying that. Stupid Saki. Why are you reflected in the water back at him? He takes the costume's hat of his head and throws it at the reflection]

[fourteen]

[ for a moment, Xion just stares at him, quite startled. Clearly that hit some sort of nerve. her encounters with Kida have mostly been brief, but they've never been ... serious. he's been goofy pretty much all of the time.

but that expression is dead serious. what was it? the issue of trust? just something he saw? both? the color drains from Xion's face and she takes a few steps closer to him, watching his expression with concern. then she looks down into the water.

it's Sora she sees, staring back up at her. she gives a jolt, but doesn't say anything much, or move.

rather absently ]

I don't know how. Besides... I want to forgive him.

1/2

[generalflirt]

Really... [This is distant. Why would you is the first thing that comes to mind but no, no, she isn't Saki. Her boyfriend just offended her, he saw her paralyzed. He failed her. He feels the bitterness a moment longer, and then tries to fix his expression a little]

[generalflirt]

[Okay, sheepish smile, turn, and-]

Darn~ and here I thought I had a chance!

[fourteen]

[ Xion gives him a quiet smile of her own in return, a little uncertain. ]

... Kida, do you really mean it? When you say those things.
