( cw: alcohol/substance abuse and visible corruption symptoms. )

[At first, the post opens with video. Lance is using his omen for this because he's probably too intoxicated to operate the omni. Corruption has started to increase again and rapidly given what he's trying to announce. The scar over his left eye looks a bit bigger and his iris of that eye is a glowing, crackling electric blue. He's not looking at the 'camera', his expression trained hard on the table in front of him as he grapples with the pain of loss.]

So… Hunk's gone… [In real time, the scar over his eye grows length-wise and cracks open horizontally and the darkness of space seems to be underneath: black void with stars and a nebula. The glowing light of his eye flashes brighter and seems to overtake the rest of his eye.] …baaaack to th' sea.

[His speech is a bit slurred and his hand comes up to his forehead as he leans to brace his elbow on the table. He looks at his omen and his brow furrows.] Valor, this's audio, right?

[What sounds like an 'oops' comes from his omen and then the video cuts out. There's the sound of a heavy, rattled breath being let out from Lance before he continues.] Whatever, not like it matters, [snort] as if I'm even gonna remember, right?

…Oh yeah… anyone in town got some memory findin' powers? I'm missin' some, so I need you to like… reach into my head hole or whatever.

[A breath is heaved, but it sounds shallow and wet, like there's something wrong with his lungs. Then the sound of a glass clinking on something.] Anyway, here's to th' ocean! I'm gon' go yell at her to give me my bro back. Later.

[There's the sound of a scraping chair as he gets up, and then the loud thump and crash of someone immediately fumbling their footing because they're too messed up and falling to the floor.] Oww…

[He shrugs and lets out a heavy breath.] Well...

[Then he seems to detach and stare off into the distance...] Uh, wait, what were we talking about?

[He might not be in the best place to talk, bud. When he's able to think more clearly later he'll properly appreciate the effort that Shoyo is putting in to be supportive. He blinks a couple times and shakes his head to clear it.]

Right, dancing. Talking? Talking and dancing?

[ shoyo has patience and allows lance the chance to talk— and with a gentle nudge with his words: ]

Whatever you need, dude. I'll be here for it.

[He scrubs a hand through his hair as he tries to think about that broad offer. It's kind, he doesn't deserve it, but he's not exactly going to snub it either… if only he could think clearly enough through the overwhelming emotion to come up with an answer to the question of what he needs…]

Thanks man… [It's the best he can muster in the immediate moment. Then he lets out a breath. He needs to get this roiling eruption out, that's something nobody can help him with.] I'll… call you later.

[Or he'll try.]
