Video UN: glyphywitchy [Back dated to May 12]
[It's been a few days since dying, and Luz had unfortunately kept this to herself. If you haven't been able to tell, this girl has been having a pretty rough month, and it didn't seem to be getting better. She lurched her device to focus, and, though coughing, was looking directly into the camera].
So. Uh. Died. First time, ha ha, not a fun experience. Kinda looking for some company, here or just on this thing otherwise. I should probably be getting rest, yes, but staring up at the ceiling regretting stuff and hating yourself can only keep out the quiet for so long.
Also, been out of the loop a bit. Someone update me on things?
[Action]
Luz was pretty sure that she was going to get an earful from people in the house, but ESPECIALLY from Ahiru, who had very much not wanted her to go on the mission. Luz had thought she could handle it and had handled somewhat similar situations before. Now, though, since they'd talked about it before, Luz knew it looked even WORSE.
Add the whole mix of self-loathing for being too weak to avoid death and the ever-present gloom of missing Fern and Varian, and Luz was pretty much a powder keg of emotions and blah. She was in her room right now, dimly lit with her purple lights and surrounded by a fort of stuffed animals and, well, Luz was a sight to see.

[He remembers hearing about that tournament. He remembers doing one of the training sessions with that, himself. He's not too worried about it. Sure, it had been scary and difficult, but there were adults watching over things and making sure nothing went too badly.]
Yeah! I'll come to cheer you on!
[After all, he's not trying to ground her with not wanting her to do dangerous things. He does want her to have fun. He just doesn't want her to die.]
no subject
[Luz would do her best, but she HAD been recovering from death and she was competing with people who had trained for some time. It would be difficult no matter how much stronger Luz had become.
As for grounding? Luz was grounding herself in this instance. The last thing she wanted was to make her remaining family scared she'd needlessly put herself in danger].
no subject
[And since it's just a fun thing, he'll support her no matter how she does. Well, he'd do that no matter what, but in this case he'll just be happy that she got to to something to keep her mind off of all this regardless.]
no subject
[Oh, it will, but after this, there'll be something else to definitely someone else being a good distraction for her]!

no subject
Hey, that reminds me. I have a place in mind I want to take you and Ahiru. Will you humor me and go, and then I'll treat you guys to ice cream and the arcade?
no subject
[Two things he loves, how could he say no?]
And where is the place? Or is it a surprise?
no subject
No, I'll tell you since Ahiru knows already. There's a new bookstore in Trench I want to take you both to! I met the girl in charge and she's super nice and wants nothing more than to get people all cozy in her store reading and recommending books!
no subject
[Make that three things he loves.]
I'd love to go! I can't wait to see all the books she has! I wonder if she has any about space. Or science. Or strange new places and other worlds!
[As if showing up in the Trench shouldn't have been 'new world' enough for him, but that doesn't mean he can't always be fascinated by thoughts of other places.]
no subject
[Luca has the Bond, so he'll sense that while Luz is certainly happy about doing that, there's also a warm, frantic excitement she's not talking about that seems to be making her heartbeat faster than normal].
When I go over to help, I'll try to put a few aside for you, ok?
no subject
Great! I'd really like that! I could always use more books!
[As if though he didn't already have a mountain of books as well as spending a ton of time at the library.]
no subject
Also, she really wanted her housemates to have access to something that would enrich them and calm them down when things got rough].
I thought you might! She's going to love you guys! We might need to help Ahiru look though. Apparently she's not a big reader.
[Specifically she barely read, which alarmed Luz a little because what if her life depended on it one day]?
no subject
[He's, of course, thinking she's like Alberto. That she can read passably well, but that she just isn't able to handle something like a textbook. He also needs to determine if she wants to learn to read better, because if someone isn't interested in learning, they won't.
no subject
[Luz felt the same here, actually. She might think it was helpful and necessary, but it had to be something she wanted to do, otherwise it was just going to be forced and unpleasant].
Think I should ask Zib if he wants to go too?
no subject
[And Zib's the type to want to expand his knowledge.]
no subject
[Also, it gave her something to do until she started leaving the house again]!
no subject
[He's glad for anything that'll help a bookstore get off to a good start, after all.]
no subject
And I'll try to get as many lore filled books as I can, ok? I know Lexi's specialty is comics and science fiction, but if we got some about other worlds and this one, that would be super helpful too!

Wrap?
You got it!
