Video; UN: Bolin! Backdated to 4th Dec | cw character death

[pabugotmoves]

[Greetings denizens of Trench. You remember this guy? What is Tupperware made of, we're doing Rocky Horror, guy? He's back. Only he doesn't look nearly as jazzed as he usually does.

Bolin looks.. tired. Heavy. Dark. His shoulders hang and has he been crying? Shut up, no, you're crying.

(Yes, he has.)

This could have been in text but it just didn't feel right.

So, after a moment of silence and a snuffle he forces himself to business.]


Hello everyone. I um. This is Bolin.

There's no easy way to say this.. Official news from Rocky Horror at The Raccoon Room. One of our cast members, Dean Winchester, has passed away. Out of respect for him and his loved ones I won't go into details but production will be suspended from today until he is back and we are able to resume.

[But there's a look like he's worried that might not happen. Counting on someone to come back from the dead? Risky. His words are a little awkward but he isn't sure how to pose all this information. How do you tell the world your friend has died? Cast and Crew members will have noticed Dean's no show the previous week. With Bolin standing in for Brad and all the clashing between blood types, rehearsals have been... a situation.]

I'll um. I'll be holding a vigil for him outside the club tonight at 7. Our theater family would appreciate it if you came.

.. So.

Thank you.

Bolin

You okay?

[This is clearly more important than the show. So he has to check.]

Text; UN: Bolin!

[pabugotmoves]

Hey.

Yeah, yeah I'll be okay.

[shiro2hero]

Right.

[(X) DOUBT]

7pm? I'll come over.

You need anything?

[pabugotmoves]

[Of course he's not okay]

Candles if you have them.

Thanks, Shiro.

Oh, that sucks.

[It's early enough in the month that Michael is genuine about it! It's possible that he was sort of picking on any Warmbloods or Vilebloods at the last rehearsal, but he's not that far gone yet; it wasn't anything too bad.

Probably good that he won't be going to any more in the coming weeks, though.]

I'll be there, sure. Should I...bring anything? [He's still sort of vague on his understanding of human mourning rituals.]

[pabugotmoves]

[Bolin gives a thin smile. Michael has been such a delight to work with this last month or so. The perfect Criminologist, narrator, and Dr. Scott all at once. What a good pal. What a good sport. What a team mate.]

I've sorry I didn't message the cast separate, I'm a little..

[A gesture. He isn't thinking right.]

You could bring a candle or incense.. and anything you'd like to leave in Dean's memory.

[eudaimonikos]

No, no, it's fine. It's a...lot.

[He gets not really responding perfectly, anyway.

Michael is super fun to have around in rehearsals; he's always upbeat and has been having a lot of fun with the whole acting thing! He'll be glad, later, that he didn't ruin that by showing up there all corrupted and crazy and shit.]

Candles, then. Got it.

[demonicbeauty]

[Cue a very, very freaked out Ariadne.]

WHAT!?!

[pabugotmoves]

[Flinch! He doesn't know how to answer that and looks a little shaken for a beat before he can find his words.]

I'm.. I'm so sorry.

[demonicbeauty]

What...what?

[She's trying very hard not to panic. And it's not working.

And this is a girl who's somehow found the nerve to perform in her unmentionables. In front of people.]

What happened!?! How did you find out? Is his family all right? What's going on!?!

[the_obedient_servant]

My, my. How horrible.

How did he die?

[Yes, they're entirely here to snoop for drama about people they do not know.]

Text; UN: Bolin!

[pabugotmoves]

[Sorry, young miss. Bo just lost a friend and he is about to lose his shit.]

I'm sorry, I'm not at liberty to say

[the_obedient_servant]

Why not? What if other people are in danger?

Am I in danger?

[jedies]

[ so he heard from airy and came to check the network. ]

Have you heard anything else?

[pabugotmoves]

[Obi-Wan, he is so close to losing it. And now he's spoken to so many people about it the warble in his voice is unmissable.]

Obi-Wan it's terrible. He was murdered! I don't know why, I don't know what to do.

[jedies]

[ oh, buddy. ]

Is there anyone I can contact? Family, friends?

Don't worry. I'll see what I can do.

[lefthemisphere]

Damn. You alright, mate? Need anything?

[pabugotmoves]

[Bolin is quiet for a moment. His breathing isn't even but he doesn't want to cry on the phone.]

Hey Chuck.. I.. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just gonna, um. Get through it, you know?

[lefthemisphere]

Yeah, I hear you. Do you want me to bring you anything? Ray's got some good weed.

[ that...he got from dean. yikes. ]

[entreats]

[ Ange doesn't know this Dean at all, but.. it's pretty obvious that Bolin isn't doing well. And despite how she tries to come across, there's no way that doesn't worry Ange.

.. but being openly nice is terrifying, so she makes sure to private her message before she speaks up. She can just pretend it's for Bolin's privacy. Yes. Clearly. Obviously. ]

Bolin.

[ Her voice is even a little softer than usually. No bomb threats today. ]

.. are you hanging in there?

[pabugotmoves]

Oh.. hi Ange. Yeah I'm.. I'm hanging...something. I'll be fine. It's fine.

[Narrator: he was not fine.

Bolin attempts a smile, appreciating the concern for him, but his lips are thin and he is very pale.]

[entreats]

[ Honestly, even without an actual narrator present, Ange can tell. Pretty much everything about Bolin screams that he's not doing so fine. ]

You know.. [ Ange starts, before her voice trails off slightly. It sounds like she's thinking, but it's just awkwardness, really. She never feels like the adequate person to do this sort of stuff. To try and comfort others.

But she wants to try all the same. ]

It's okay if you're not fine right now. There's a lot going on. Death is always a lot to deal with, even if people do revive in this place.

[chickenchoicejudy]

Oh my god. He's really dead?

[Oof. He was really hoping Dean's disappearance from rehearsals wouldn't be something like that, but after his own disappearance last month, well. It makes sense that not everyone would be so lucky.]

I'll be there tonight, Bolin. Need anything?

[Bolin's probably been asked a million times by now but it still feels like the right thing to do here.]

[pabugotmoves]

Hey Ryan.. Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't call you directly, I've been a little..

[He gives a small hand gesture towards his head.]

This has been a lot to process. If you have a candle or some incense or something for the memorial it would mean a lot. I'd say we should do this at his grave but I don't think he has one.

[chickenchoicejudy]

Yeah, no, don't even worry about it, Bolin. I know now at least?

[He and Dean didn't know each other super well, so he wasn't expecting to be at the top of that particular phone tree anyway.]

Candles, got it. I can do that. And, uh. I dunno, if anyone knows what kind of music he liked, I can bring my guitar? Unless it's more of a "moment of silence" kind of mood, then I'll just leave it home.
