minecraft is unrealistic
Who: Héctor, anyone
What: His spirit is as dead as he is.
When: July 25th
Where: Enso
Warnings: Mild injury, and a truckload of d e s p a i r to start with.
It's mid afternoon, one year and then some after he first arrived on the beaches of the island. The thirteenth month. Thirteen's been said to be an unlucky number. Certainly it's not doing him any favors.
As good and kind as everyone is... it's just not enough. Not every day. There's only one thing that ever will be, one thing which he always seems to be denied, one way or another. Granted, not much about his situation is new, when it comes down to it, but then neither are these deep black moods. There were no failures this year. No bridge. Nothing to try. Everything's perfectly fine until he can't fake it anymore, because everything is not fine.
He had four pleasant days with his family, after so long dreaming of them. Was that it? Is that all he'll ever have? And there's no reason for it, seeing as there's very little he can do someone else can't do better. Of course, if he hadn't been so stupid, he would have had many years with them before being drawn to this world, not only four days... stupid, stupid, stupid. He's always been stupid. It explodes outwards as anger first, for a few minutes, but that's hard to sustain for him. So...
He's just lying on the ground, in the leaves underneath a tree, no smile on his face and cracks spiderwebbing through all the bones of one hand. Don't punch trees if you have no padding on your hands, you won't like the results. He doesn't want to get up, he doesn't want to goof off, joke around, play games, none of that. There's... nothing. No point at all.

"I think I may have misunderstood what you meant by 'my demon things'."
no subject
Seemed clear enough to him. Maybe not Michael specifically, but some demon's handiwork... Either way, he's not getting out on his own. So what does it matter today?

So not a helpful idea. Rather mean of him, actually, it's not going to magically get him away from Enso. Does he care? Nope! What a jerk!
no subject
He should probably just leave, but instead he keeps right on going. "Do I walk around telling people you eat brains, just because you're a walking skeleton?"
no subject
The sheer level of apathy in him--he's not getting worked up at all. Calm and quiet, mostly because he is so tired and so done. "Also, I never ate brains in the past."
no subject
In some ways, that's what he's most worked up over. Because he can definitely appreciate it; this is the kind of thing Michael would have enjoyed doing as a torture project, had it ever occurred to him at the time. The psychological weight of being separated from one's home and friends, the constant unknown threats coming out of nowhere...it's a good setup.
no subject
He drags a hand through the air--whatever, dude. No point in arguing about it, consider the subject dropped. "Okay. Fine. I don't really know. It's a mess."
