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 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.

[pabugotmoves]

[He's quiet for a moment and nods. Bolin doesn't understand why he's the one who's breaking the news. It should be Dean's brother(s?). But here he is all the same and he's trying hard not to get emotional all over again.

Hard to do. He's an emotional guy.

Sniff. Swallow.]

Thank you, Michael.

[eudaimonikos]

[Michael frowns, his brow furrowing. He hadn't known Dean well - not at all prior to the show - and he knows that he...tends to take things less hard than a lot of people. Bolin seems pretty torn up.]

Hey. Take some time for yourself, as long as we're off anyway. Do one of those winter holidays or whatever, relax.

[pabugotmoves]

[Oh yeah, like he's going to burst into tears again any second]

.. a winter mourning? Doesn't that just bring you into someone's horrible memory?

[eudaimonikos]

...well, I was thinking a little more like Christmas or Hanukkah. But you probably don't have those, so...

[He had sort of been hoping Bolin's world had their own midwinter thing? It's a very common sort of celebration among humans.]

[pabugotmoves]

Well. No. But we do have the Dongzhi Festival. To celebrate the winter solstice.

But.. I'm not sure I can be happy right now. Thank you, though.

[eudaimonikos]

...right. Well, I'm just saying, do what you gotta do. I'll bring some food or something by?

[That's a thing, isn't it?]

[pabugotmoves]

[Very much a thing.

He snuffles and nods again. This time, when he speaks, it's trembling. He's about to lose it again.]

T-thank you.

[eudaimonikos]

Of course. Let me know if you need anything, alright?

[except he probably won't answer because he's gonna be losing his mind for the entire month of december, rip]

[pabugotmoves]

[He just nods as they say goodbye. He has to move on ans answer the next person now. This sucks.

Poor Michael ayooooo rip crazy buddy]
