Cobalt's Heart - session 2

[we_meet_again]

I carry you with me across these
barren lands, stretched dry and dark between
regions of kindness.

Generous with your warmth,
you have shown me
a path to guide my heavy legs and stumbling heart.

Generous with your patience,
you have shown me
how lucky I was to have something worth mourning.

Got it!

[Off to investigate crying!]

Re: Luctus

[we_meet_again]

[turns out you're both going the same direction, because the crying is en route. This little crying child is only about 20 feet from the yellow cable and the rubble pinning it down.]

[He looks up with a start when he sees you]



Wh-who's there?

Re: Luctus

[bondsofsuffering]

[Crouching down while Intensity deals with the cable.]

Hey there. We're just here to fix that cable.

My name's Izanagi, and he's Intensity. What's yours?

Re: Luctus

[we_meet_again]

[he looks between Izanagi and Intensity, since they're both like.]

Shen.

[he's still a little dumbstruck to see you and doesn't know what to say, clutching them hem of his shirt]

Re: Luctus

[bondsofsuffering]

[Holding out his hand cheerfully. Oh look there's a sky now.]

Nice to meet you, Shen! What do you say we get you out of here? We're not the only ones around - I'm sure we can find someone who can take you in.

[furi: pass him off onto Cobalt or the power plant or someone who fucking knows.]

Re: Luctus

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Once he's done with the lights]

Shen.

Where are your parents?

Re: Luctus

[bondsofsuffering]

[Sir they are surrounded by dead bodies but okay.]

Re: Luctus

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[I really don't know what you expected from him.]

Re: Luctus

[we_meet_again]

I don't... I don't know.

I can't find them.

I can't find anybody.

[He's holding it together but a big fat tear rolls down his cheek anyway]

Re: Luctus

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well now you have found someone. Stay with Izanagi, okay?

He's going to take you somewhere safe.

Re: Luctus

[we_meet_again]

[oh no here are more tears]


Are you leaving?

Re: Luctus

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No. Just following.

And making sure no one else is lost.

Re: Luctus

[we_meet_again]

[He reaches out his hand]

You found someone? Is it my mom?

Re: Luctus

[bondsofsuffering]

[Gently taking his hand!]

I'm not sure yet! There's a buuuunch of people, but I haven't gotten a chance to meet them all, you know?

They're all survivors, though. Want to go check them out with us?

Re: Luctus

[we_meet_again]

[He holds his hand and allows himself to be led]

Y-yes!

Are you sure? I looked everywhere!

Re: Luctus

[bondsofsuffering]

I'm sure, I'm sure! We were just talking with some of them before we got here.

[Time to lead the bitty back, following the cable.]

Re: Luctus

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's following them as he promised to bb!Cobalt. At least until they get out of Luctus.]

Re: Luctus

[we_meet_again]

[he trots along beside Izanagi, keeping a close eye on both of them. He still looks really bewildered like this is all blindsiding him and he doesn't know what to do but follow]

[you guys make it back to the door with no issue. From this side it looks like a door into a building, but on the other side is the barricade where you came in.]
