There's a note left for Water.
'Tides turn and tensions rise, Could the Doctor be leaving your side? Seasons wane and new dawns fall, This next day may be the last of all...
I hope you like poetry! I've just seen your dad slipping again and was worried you may not have caught on. Ah, how unfortunate it really is...'
Attached to the note is a clipping from a newspaper titled "2000 PEOPLE DIED IN A MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT. VICTIMS SEEM TO BE DRAINED OF ALL BLOOD".
-🌙
Water’s hand shook as they read the news clipping, before clenching and ripping it in half.
“That’s not like him. Either of him. Even Soldier wouldn’t kill that many innocents—they’d have to give him a reason. And this…. Stars, if this was him, please tell me it was Soldier…”
They re-read the poetry and note again… how could they not have noticed? If he needed time, they weren’t going to invade that time- but maybe leaving him for too long was a bad idea…
do your bones hurt too
//I know this is an OOC question because I’ve seen this going around-
//my bones miraculously do not hurt, however I expect them to start aching soon.
For once, please, hand him the gun.
It's all I ask.
It's not loaded. Don't worry.
Maybe you'll see another side of him.
*there's a box, wrapped like a Christmas present, with an entirely unloaded rifle inside, bayonet on the end.*
- 🌙
Water burned the note as soon as they got it. The wrapping paper too. They’re tired of this.
They take the rifle apart, in fact finding the gun to be unloaded as promised.
They burn the wooden parts, taking the metal scraps away to bury near the boarder. The bayonet is detached from the gun and laid aside. It’s too big to hide well, so they bend it too out of shape to be used, stuffing it into the hollow of one of the few trees remaining in the forest.
“Merry Christmas, Moon. You’re not welcome here. Now piss off, before I do something I’ll regret.”
There's a letter tied in red string and a rose.
'I found the Holy water...
And I think? It worked? I'm not sure
You'll have to tell me.-
@the-rose-of-the-valley
“Hmmm… to test it they’ll have to come see me. See if they can talk back.”
Water slips the note into their pocket, and starts to wander the town, calling for the anon.
“Flower? Flower?”
I think-
Hang on. This may take a while.
If it doesn't work, tell L I missed him.
Tell Owen I said hello.
If I can get some holy water, this should work.
Lest I move on.

“I don’t know how you in particular work as an anon… you’ve mostly just been a voice or words in a paper… I don’t have any holy water, although I’m sure there is a stash somewhere around town.”
“…I don’t know how well I’ll be able to get to Owen… I haven’t forgiven him. And you should be fine… the books can be janky, but they haven’t failed yet.”
I was wondering, maybe, if you could help me with the book? I've wanted to be... mortal... corporeal for so long. Louis' death flipped everything on its head and sent me down a dark path. Maybe you could help me come back?
I hope you're well, Water. I really do.

“I’ve never known of a holy book that could do that, so I don’t know how much help I would be… Abolish would be a better ask, he works with this kind of stuff all the time.”
Louis? That name didn’t really mean anything to them… although it did sound familiar.
There's a bottle of blood, a single bullet casing, and a handgun all wrapped up in a green tie with a single note left atop it.
'You know who it's for.'
- 🌙
“What is with you, Moon, and trying to tip him even farther over the edge? I have a decent relationship with Soldier, one where he is less volatile. I’m not going to give him a gun.”
They take all three items, pocketing the blood bottle for later. Abolish will add another firearm to his collection, they guess. They’ll look at it for potential tampering. They don’t trust this anon, and never will.
