Event Fifteen.





pricking fingertips on memory,
leaving things unsaid
she drifts amidst the holly
for the love of you, or me.





t seems like just another day in this place. It's chilly, but not miserable, and there's a bit of holiday cheer in the form of a few of those trees people have managed to decorate.

Of course...there's also the shades, but who cares about those?

They wander, drifting too and fro, following their usual, typical lives as if they have no idea that they're not longer alive, no longer in their own proper home. They walk over the frozen lake in Flavo as if it's not even there, open doors that no longer exist, and settle into rooms that are nothing but rubble.

They're living in a past that only they can see, but perhaps you can see a bit more from watching them?

Only... maybe don't spend too much time with them, lest you start seeming too much like a ghost yourself.




Welcome to Awash's fifteenth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to make your own logs and posts for this event!

Somehow, I get the feeling that you just have to be your usual dramatic self and they'd still get that same overwhelmed feeling.

[ Just. A hunch. ]
heartsteals: (a lot of heartaches)

They're pretty resistant to it, actually... Maybe not as much as you, but it's still a challenge.

[ one gets the sense that he enjoys that challenge, though. ]

There'll probably be a lot of challenges. But I think I can handle it.
scooptimistic: (Good news we're still alive!)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2018-12-24 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I think if anyone could, it'd be you.

[ At least Cairngorm is less resistant than Maya-- and she isn't even going to protest because yeah, Lupin's right, it bounces right off of her. ]

But I'm supporting both of you for sure!
heartsteals: (he is the man)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2018-12-27 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
You'd better!

[ he grins, prideful as ever. ]

Other than that -- well, I've been following some of these ghosts around to see if I can learn anything. There's not much we don't already know, though.
scooptimistic: (Eureka!)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2018-12-27 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
You had the same idea, huh...? I know we can't influence them to say anything helpful, but I wish they could drop a few more hints.
heartsteals: (then i feel a lot)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2018-12-27 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding.

[ he's watched people sitting at desks writing papers for far too many hours, at this point. ]

It looks like people from different districts really didn't like each other back in the day.
scooptimistic: (Arara indeed)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2018-12-27 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I noticed. The younger generation's made more of an effort, I think, but they're still pretty divided.

It's a shame.
heartsteals: (snake eyes and sevens)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2018-12-27 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
It is. I wonder if I'll get in trouble for all this later? Forbidden romance sounds straight up my alley.

[ unsurprisingly, Lupin doesn't even sound slightly worried about this possibility. His and Cairngorm's relationship already falls into, like, three categories minimum of "forbidden" without the town's segregation coming into play. ]

Oh, you and I can still be friends, though. That's nice.
scooptimistic: (I really don't get paid enough for this)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2018-12-27 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You say that as if you and I wouldn't have been friends anyway.

[ Whatever, town!! ]

I think that, even if you got into trouble, you'd still forge ahead with Cairngorm, since that's... just like you.
heartsteals: (now it's like i'm on a mission)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2018-12-29 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, some rules are made to be broken. Even a noble heroine like yourself probably gets into trouble from time to time.

[ after hearing a little bit about her home life, his perspective on her has shifted slightly... ]
scooptimistic: (But who killed the singing telegram)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2018-12-29 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
From time to time... well, it's true that I definitely broke more than a few rules.

[ ... Kind of a lot. Technically. Oops. ]

... Actually, I fought authority a lot.

[ Because!! They were corrupt!!!! But still!! ]
heartsteals: (nyaruhodo)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2019-01-05 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ a sly, amused grin. ]

Did you, now? That's a good girl.
scooptimistic: (Time for more serious shit)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2019-01-05 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
... I'm not sure if you're being genuine or condescending.
heartsteals: (feelin so fly like a g6)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2019-01-05 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Genuine, obviously! Did you forget that I'm a heroic gentleman thief?

[ he lives for fighting authority, sis!! ]

A good journalist should be butting heads with authorities, anyways - that's what I think.
scooptimistic: (What language even was that?)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2019-01-05 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! [ with a rather loud huff. ]

I get scolded all the time for doing it, but sometimes it really can't be avoided if you want to get the truth!
heartsteals: (wanna take a roll?)

[personal profile] heartsteals 2019-01-07 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Seeing as the people in charge are almost always hiding things, I think you're well in your rights.

[ when he looks at it this way, their jobs aren't all that different... she's just in the business of stealing information. ]
