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.

.. yeah. It would be.

[ And since this is private, and since she thinks Bolin deserves some openness with what he's going through, even though it's hard for Ange.. ]

That's why I'm glad you exist in this one.

[ Never let anyone know she said this!! Even though it's true!! ]

[Oh- oh. That.. That hits a certain kind of way. Bolin doesn't realize he's put his hand to his mouth but the sudden tightness in his throat makes it hard to breathe and he has to force a thick swallow.

That might be the single nicest thing anyone has ever said to him.. ever. Means a lot to a guy who comes from so little and had to fight tooth and nail for the right to exist at all.

Whooosah, okay okay. No, c'mon Bo, don't cry. Not again, we just went through this, c'mon man.

When he does speak, it's strained and maybe a little breathy.]

Th-

thank you.

[entreats]

[ Oh no. Ange knows those signs exactly. She opens her mouth and then closes it awkwardly, like she's some sort of goldfish. ]

You.. aren't going to cry, are you? [ Bolin, no!! P-Please! ] That's kind of the opposite of what I was trying to go for here.

[ She was trying to make him feel a bit better during this difficult time, after all! ]

[pabugotmoves]

No- no no, I'm just. [SNUFFLE]

I've got something in- it's very dusty in here.

[entreats]

[ Sure, dude!! But, being someone who always tries to hide that kind of stuff as well, Ange lets him get away with it without calling Bolin out on it.

Instead.. ]

Well, still.. just take care of yourself. [ While stuff is hard. ] If you find yourself needing some company at any point, just come over to the big green house in Gaze. I'll make Ruby entertain you, or something. [ N-Not like she's offering up her own company as well or anything..! ]

[pabugotmoves]

[He hears the offer inside the offer and nods a little.]

That would be nice. Tomorrow?

[entreats]

Of course. We'll be waiting for you.

[ With cookies. Because there's nothing cookies can't fix. ]
