October Event: Feeling Like a Ghost (Part I)

OCTOBER EVENT: FEELING LIKE A GHOST
Who: Anyone and everyone
What: Your past returns to haunt you
When: October 10th and onward
Where: All over!
Warnings: Character death, as well as potential for discussion of trauma and suicide ideation - please mark as you go!
Try and Hear Me, Then I'm Done

You can find most of the information you need in the OOC info post! In the meantime, feel free to use this log as a catch-all for the duration of the event. While this log will focus on the past portion, you're free to use it for the future portion. As always, you can also make your own logs if that's your preference! Come the 21st, however, we'll likely get an additional log up for those who want to play around with their future echoes as well. Remember also that the present portion will be played out in Mu, during this month's Storytelling.

Remember to let us know if your character dies during this event. Bear in mind, however: death penalties will NOT be reduced for this event.

I know that. I know -

[Zoe's let go of him and is now sitting just within the edges of Connor's vision, studying Shion. This is - he'd been avoiding this for this exact reason. It's one thing to hear things that he'd heard before. Things that he knows how to brush off.

He doesn't want to know what Zoe has to say about Shion.]


How cute. You think you deserve to be happy, after what you did. You think you deserve love.

- I know it's not true.

[He sounds shakier about that. Like he knows that's what he's meant to be saying, but he doesn't quite believe it.]

I know... It's hard. [Shion doesn't move from resting his head on Connor's. It's much easier to know than to believe.]

Things like this... They happened pretty often in the Tower. Visions of those from our words, or voices. Being... Being with others helps. Focussing on what is real.

[You've still not learned have you? The only thing other people bring you is pain. He'll hurt you you know. Why stay when you know that? Rat had gotten closer shaking his head.

Or have you forgotten everything already?]

This is why dad used to go through your emails, you know. You always hide what's most important.

It just makes her talk more, unfortunately. [Connor settles a hand on Shion's chest, trying to focus on his heartbeat.] I just thought I'd wait her out.

You can't get rid of me, Connor. I'm family. I'm the only thing you'll never be able to outrun.

[It's strange to have Zoe around because it's. He misses here, sometimes, but having her around reminds him why he's here in the first place. Zoe is a relic of a life that seems more like a dream than the idyllic island adventure he's been on. He doesn't know how to handle that, a reminder of who he was and not who he is.]
savedbyasong: (are you sure?)

Leave him alone. [It's strange talking to a ghost that he cannot see. Talking to a remnant of Ceej's past. But his voice is steel. She had no right to hurt Connor. No right to use words as a weapon against him.

Oh Shion, the great defender. Rat began to laugh. As if you can protect anyone.]


We... We should do something. Something to help ignore them.
yourattention: (and make me more)

[personal profile] yourattention 2018-11-08 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, that's cute. You got a puppy to fight your battles for you.

[Connor closes his eyes and focusing on breathing. Breathe in, breathe out. When his eyes flutter open again, he tries to smile. It's a little strained, honestly.]

Sure. What did you have in mind?
savedbyasong: (unsure)

[personal profile] savedbyasong 2018-11-09 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Shion thinks. The big task has been rendered obsolete with Harv improving all their houses. Not that Shion really minds. It is much better than anything Shion would have been able to achieve even with Gladio's teaching.

He's still breathing, his thumb tracing circles on Connor's hand.]


I'm not sure... I'm sure there's plenty of work to find if we go looking for it.
