“I am so in trouble...” Lazuli says as she wanders... wherever she was. “If I have to call someone to get home I’m going to hear it.”

It had been over a year since the incident, but it still haunted him. Every moment spent on the school grounds or Hecaball field was a grim reminder. He wished he could just move on, leave the past behind, but no matter how much he told himself he had, it was clear there was still something holding him back. The semi-finals loss was evidence enough. It just didn’t feel right without her. Sanura was... okay. She was a decent enough player, and a nice enough person- maybe a tad annoying, but nothing outrageous. There was no reason to dislike her, aside from the fact she was a replacement. Looking at her play, it just felt weird. Whitney should’ve been the one out there.

Whitney. That wasn’t even her real name, was it? Did she know that? If he saw her again, was he supposed to call her ‘Flannery’? Night had told himself to leave it alone, as he’d also been told by friends and family, but being told something didn’t make the feelings go away. He needed closure. Maybe it was time to actually pay her a visit....

He had considered bringing flowers, since that was a typical ‘get well soon’ gift, but there were several reasons he felt that would be inappropriate. For one thing, it could be easily misconstrued as some kind of romantic gesture (especially given their past), and for another, it was probably best to keep plants away from her. He really didn’t know what sort of state she was in at this point, just praying to Creation that she was recovering well. Still, he didn’t want to show up with nothing, so he decided to bring over a little plushie instead. He had no idea if she’d like it. He had no idea what she liked anymore. He didn’t even know if she’d remember him.... But this had been weighing on him for way too long; it was time to face reality and see her in person.

He took a deep breath outside the door, clutching the little cat doll to his chest protectively. Steeling himself for whatever was behind that door, he took a step forward and knocked.

@apricusdays​ for Lapis and Gael’s blind date!

Out of all of her friends, Gael was probably the least interested in this whole blind date nonsense. She knew what she was about, and romance wasn’t it. Still, it was too late to back out now. She was already here, and it’d be rude to just stand the poor guy up.

“Hey,” she greeted casually. “Yer Lapis right? Name’s Gael. Full disclosure by the way, I’d be thrilled if we could possibly keep our hands to ourselves today, not even hand holdin’. Nothin’ personal, just really don’t like bein’ touched. Hope that ain’t a dealbreaker for ya’.”

“I do hope you don’t plan to take off without us.”

“I’m only here for her, don’t get your stick ends crossed.”

Several miles away from the warehouses, one of the trucks is making it’s way out of Delta Town. The truck hits a bit of a detour much to the driver’s annoyance. They decide to take a side street and are stopped by the sudden appearance of a large man blocking the road.

“..truck..” Slamming his fist into the truck and literally pulling out scraps of the engine. He’d tilt his head and toss the metal fragments as if they were daggers, watching them fly through the windshield and impale both driver and passenger.

Grabbing his radio “..back..” indicating that whoever was riding in back was sure to be opening up the doors to find out what happened and they’d likely be armed. Though he wasn’t concerned with it..considering he knew his “partner” was waiting.

Alright... it was back to the church for Night, much to his chagrin. Still, he figured if anyone could help him understand what was going on, it’d be Brother Solomon. He didn’t much care for the acolytes, but as long as Solomon was there, he wouldn’t need to worry about them.

Just in case there would be any church-goers or -workers about, he kept his hood up over his ears. Today, he wasn’t here to cause any trouble. He’d go in, ask to see the priest, ignore the rest of the clergy, and go about his day; he’d attempt to be as polite as possible.

When he arrived at the large cathedral, Night paused a moment. He couldn’t remember if he could just walk right in or if he’d need to knock. So, he tested the door with a slight push and after feeling it give a bit, he opened it all the way and hesitantly stepped inside. He expected to be greeted at the door and so didn’t yell out for anyone quite yet.

“Pardon me, sir,” Koko patted Solomon’s arm to get his attention. “Would I be correct in assuming you’re here in place of Sister Lucianna? From the Consecration, yes? I’m Koko. What do you go by, if I may ask?”

[monkeysunsets]

“Hm? Hey, Sage. Isn’t that guy on your Hecaball team?”

“What? Who are you-?”

“Oh, shit. Don’t make eye-contact.”

“Yo, Hound dude!”

“Sun! What are you doing?!”
