cw: grief, talk of death, suicidal thoughts, language

[ The feed clicks on to ragged breathing, too close to the Omni ]

Who the hell killed Flynn? Some guy with a light sword. Give me names.

[ Yuri's voice is low and rough, somehow both heated and emotionless. His emotional state has been degrading since Flynn's omen led him to Flynn's corpse. He growls and there's rustling over the Omni ]

If you killed him, be at the Gate at midnight.

[onekindsoul]

I don't know.
I don't think so.
There was still so much I thought I'd be able to do or help with.
I just have to hope the people still alive will manage with what I left them.

[vibing]

[ Yuri lets out a slow breath. The people left. Yeah, he's been there before. When he thought he died, and knew he was leaving everyone to deal with everything without him.

It's a shit place to be. ]

Yeah.

I get it.

[ He groans, and kicks a loose stone on the ground. ]

Goddamnit.

[ Not much for making conversation right now ]

[onekindsoul]

[She gives him a minute because she definitely gets it. She knows what it's like to have all that anger and then no outlet for it.

She had to deal with it for two months in the dream before she ended up here.]

We can take some time to figure out who this guy is and what he can do if you want?

I don't know if people come back here like they did back in the dream.

So we might want to do something for your friend too.

If you want a hand.

[vibing]

Like... a funeral?

[ He thought about it too, about doing some kind of rite for him. Something to mark his passing.

Even if he does come back. ]

Yeah. Yeah, that's... a good idea. I don't think we should bury him, or burn him. Just in case.

[onekindsoul]

Yeah. If you want to-

[She cuts herself off when he seems to like the idea. She smiles softly.]

I think that's a good idea. ...He left a corpse? That's kind of different than what I'm used to these days.

We might want to keep an eye on that. Incase there's anything happens.

We can probably do a little ceremony? Say some words.

Do something to memorialize him.

[vibing]

Yeah. It's not the same, but... you guys are making me hope he might come back.

[ He sighs, running a hand though his hair. It seems like a stupid hope, but it's rotted in his heart ]

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea. Say some stuff about what how big the stick up his ass was. That'll bring him back real quick.

[onekindsoul]

I just hope it doesn't end up being false hope. I really hope your friend gets another chance.

[She feels a bit of a smile play up on his lips hearing that.]

Oh yeah? He's a huge pain in the butt, huh? Real stickler for the rules. I've known a few people like that.

[vibing]

Yeah. Me too.

[ He isn't smiling, but... at least it's funny. It's funny even if he can't laugh yet ]

Oh, yeah. Would probably marry the rules if he could. Stiff as a board. You'll see it, when you... meet him.

[ He stays with "when", not saying "if". No need to put that into the world. ]

[onekindsoul]

Jeez, yeah.

My best friend back home, Weiss. She'd definitely get along super well with him. She couldn't get enough of the rules.

But I'll be sure to give him a high five when he gets back.

[vibing]

Yeah. Yeah, do that.

[ A beat. Yuri lets out a slow breath. There's something else he can do right now, too ]

Hey, are you the one who makes weapons?

[onekindsoul]

[Oh. This takes a turn that she hadn't quite expected.]

Oh, Yeah. I definitely am. I'm still sort of getting set up here but do you need any work done on one? Or what are you looking for?

[vibing]

Flynn's sword is pretty messed up. If he, y'know. He'll want it. Can you fix it?

[ It's hard to ask, for him, but hey, here we are. ]

[onekindsoul]

Reforge a sword? Yeah that shouldn't be a problem.

Mind sending me a couple pictures of the damage?

Where abouts are you? I'll make my way over to pick it up.

[vibing]

Crenshaw. Brick house at the end of the street with the orphanage on it.

Yeah, I'll send you pictures. It was cut right in half, so I just have two pieces of it.

[ It takes him a moment, but he attaches a couple pictures of a sword that is... a lot. This sword is a lot. ]

Thanks.

[onekindsoul]

Gotchya. I know the area. I'll be around soon.

[Okay. Ruby's eyes go wide like saucers when she sees the sword. It is a tragic time but gosh her love of weapons shines through the dark. She holds in absolutely gushing about it though.]

Okay- I've done some repairs like this before. There's kind of a cool technique for it back in my world. I've got this.

[Please don't mind the drool.]

[vibing]

Thanks, really. He... yeah. The sword means a lot.

[ To Flynn, to him. The sister sword to his own. It's important, and seeing it in pieces feels like a bad sign. ]

See you.
