Re: WFS/WCS/GMS Roleplay.

[Silver]

The familiar shiver goes up my arm at his touch and I smile back.
"It's the anniversary of my father's death. I still feel the need to mourn," I explain, looking out the window.
Even if he never quite believed me about my mother, I still loved the old man.
I rub his cheek softly and kiss his forehead.
"I've missed you... Bed is still that depressing form of cold..."

[Bemottled]

[Ben]

I somber slightly and manage a nod, touching her jaw lightly.
"I didn't know today.."
I shake my head slightly.
"I'd be there if I could."
My answer would suffice to both..

[Midge]

[Silver]

"It's okay dear... I usually do this on my own."
That was... Scarily true.
It was another form of what I had told Kifer about isolation.
"I'll have to sneak in here more often, eh?" I smirk, running a hand through his hair.
My body would probably protest, but at least I wouldn't have to sleep alone.

[Bemottled]

[Ben]

I close my eyes at her touch, exhaling quietly.
"I'd like that... 'fraid I won't be much for company, though.."
I open my eyes again to look at her.
She was beautiful.
"You're beautiful, by the way. Have I ever told you that?"

[Midge]

[Silver]

"It'd still be better than being alone."
His compliment put a grin on my face and I rub my jaw a little.
I still felt a little embarrassed whenever he said things like that.
"A couple times I think... But thank you."
I carefully lean over and kiss him gently, more because I was hurting.

[Bemottled]

[Ben]

I kissed her back, wishing I could pull her closer but knowing that'd hurt us both.
Instead I cup her jaw slightly, giving her another quick kiss before speaking.
"Come back if you can. Don't get yourself hurt more than you already are, k?"

[Midge]

[Silver]

"Mkay, dear... I shall try," I smirk, nuzzling his neck a little before getting back up.
I let out a quiet sigh when I look out the window again.
My eyes refocus and I leave the room, taking Trevor's arm as he helps me down the stairs.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

I'm snoring quietly on the roof
I'd ended up sleeping up here.
Funny, the roof was becoming the place I spent most of my time when here...
I knew I should be getting back to WFS but for some reason I had no motivation to.
I wondered how long it would be before Stella came after me to drag my by my ear back to the stables.
No doubt Lily was drowning in work by now.

[Midge]

[Silver]

My steps were steady, but my breathing was shaky because of my straining focus.
Trevor keeps me steady and I wasn't sure where Kifer was...
I shake my head a little and take the rose that Matthew handed me.
He remembered how this went.
I give him a small smile and Trevor helps me outside, leading me towards the beach.
There was a small breeze, but it was enough to pick the bottom of my dress off my feet.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

I snort and jerk a little, my eyes flickering open.
I was staring at the sky.
...nice way to wake up, honestly.
I sit up, groaning quietly and twisting, hearing my back pop, along with my shoulders and neck.
I glanced down and see Silver, out of bed and... in mourning clothes.
Had Ben died or something?

[Midge]

[Silver]

I get to the sand and hand Trevor my cane.
He gives me a worried, skeptical look at this and I insist.
I watch him hold back a sigh when he takes it and I prepare myself for the pain when I start walking towards the water.
The flesh being held together by the stitches was beginning to burn, but I keep going.
I grab the rose bud and yank it off the stem before my feet barely hit the water.
"Hey dad... It's been a while I think," I mutter, "A lot has happened. Some things haven't changed."

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

I followed hesitantly, staying out of sight and curious as to what was going on.
When she spoke, it made a bit more sense.
Oh...
I was probably intruding on something personal..
I sat down in the treeline to watch, anyways.
I was curious. I couldn't help it.

[Midge]

[Silver]

"So... I'm sure you're doing rather well. Shaking your head at me," I say with a smirk.
I lean on one leg and look up at the sky.
"Things have gone the way they're supposed too, just like you always said..."
"I'm letting my puzzle be completed, dad, the way it's supposed to be."
The petals in my hand shift a little at the tug of the breeze and I watch them.
"I still only wish you'd believe me about what mother did. I can't understand why you never wanted to see it. The bruises and broken bones, plus the extension of medical bills that followed my days alone with her should have been enough."
My jaw was clenched and I crack my neck to calm back down.
"Sorry... Psychotic people agitate me. I'll talk to you some other time, eh? Love you, dad."
I toss the petals above me and place my hands on the back of my head, watching the breeze carry them into the water.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

I remain in the shadows, having the respect not to intrude on her like this.
I wasn't exactly supposed to be here, after all.
I sigh and lean back against a tree.
Listening to her was slightly depressing. She'd been through alot.
I tug a cigarette out and light it, inhaling a little less than I usually did and letting the smoke burn my throat before exhaling.
No doubt it'd end up giving me away, but I didn't mind much.

[Midge]

[Silver]

I hold my neck for a moment or two while looking out at the green misted ocean.
The water was so tempting to just... Walk out and...
Hold my head underwater.
The thought nearly urged me to take a step forward, but the mental conflict caused me to sway.
The possibilities... She almost did it a couple times... Why can't I...?
My eyes were glazed over already and I kept staring.
This day always got me to think about suicidal thoughts and it took its toll on me.
You have no family... No blood-related family.
I could feel tears burning my eyes and common sense wasn't present.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

I shrug and eventually get up, walking silently out to the shore and stopping maybe ten feet from her.
I could almost see the thought process in her head.
"Tempting, isn't it?" I ask, looking at her carefully and tapping ash off my cigarette.
"Such a beautiful place to die, too."

[Midge]

[Silver]

He startled me a little, but I didn't jump.
... He had heard my conversation with my dead father.
Thaaat's embarrassing.
"It always is. In the past, I can't remember how many times I tried. I thought, since she wants me gone, then everyone must want me gone."
He probably didn't want to hear this...
"The first time I tried was when my father left me in the bath at the age of six. Six. I thought it'd be easy."
"That if she wanted me gone so bad, that it could be done without much effort. It must have been time and time again after that until I shoved her."
The tears were flowing now and I wipe them off quickly enough, even if they kept coming.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

I exhale another stream of smoke before answering.
"Funny how repetition can wear on the mind as easily as anything else, even when the repeated phrase is a blatant lie. I was a waste of space until I became a merc, and then I was a tool. Then a druggie, then a beggar, and after that a whore. Now a bastard. Funny how they seem like peeling labels after awhile. And funny how most of them held a grain of truth."
I shake my head and stop rambling, instead saying what I had originally thought to say.
"You did what you did because it was a form of escape that you couldn't find in death. And in the end, she got what she wanted, didn't she? You were gone. Perhaps not in the way she wanted, but you did make her happy...indirectly."
I smirk and watch the waves lap at the hems of my trench coat.
"That probably doesn't help at all."

[Midge]

[Silver]

I glance at him occasionally while he spoke, figuring it best to just listen.
The fact that he was talking like this calmed me down.
... He felt more open.
"It did help, actually," I tell him, my eyes shifting from the water and back to him.
"Like I said before, isolation was my thing.... Is."
I wrap an arm around my ribs absently, pondering over a few things.
"I find it strange that... Now that I haven't been trying to die, I indirectly put myself in situations that nearly kill me."
This almost pulls a smirk onto my face.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

"It's a hard habit to break." I glance at her, snuffing the cigarette out on the thick leather on the arm of trench coat.
"I found that the more directly harmful situations I put myself in, the more I figured out how futile the entire dying thing was. Made for incredibly reckless behavior, but what the Hell, it's not like I have much to live for as is."
I had nothing to say to her comment about isolation. If that was what she thought worked, who was I to change it?

[Midge]

[Silver]

"I've got a handful of reasons to stick around... I'm definitely stuck now," I chuckle quietly.
Hopefully I wouldn't turn out like my mother, in any way.
"Sorry for being all sappy. This day is still pretty hard on me."
I was simply more open about today than any other thoughts that caused me to cry.
Even with Ben, since I didn't feel like he needed the burden or the emotional weight.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

"No problem. I don't have to introduce you to my life yet, thank god... my smile is only ever as strong as the alcohol."
I smirk again, before taking a few steps into the water and wrapping a gentle arm around her waist so as not to aggravate her wounds.
"I'd tell you to stock up on alcohol, but you seem to have that end covered. Nice collection you have going.."

[Midge]

[Silver]

I chuckle and lean into him comfortably, thankful for his carefulness of my injury.
"You sneaky bastard," I laugh, nudging him a little, "It's not going to be much of a collection for long."
A smile was stuck on my face and I shake my head at this.
Typical, Kifer.

[Bemottled]

[Kifer]

Her comment keeps the smirk on my face and I can only shrug.
"True that. Though if it makes you feel better, I can pay for whatever I take."
You know, since Alison had somehow made a fucking fortune here and pretty much told me to do what I liked with one of the bank accounts.

[Midge]

[Silver]

"Mmmm tempting... But some of those bottles have been here for a couple years... Probably expensive now," I point out.
The atmosphere was definitely relaxing and I was perfectly fine with it.
Being stuck in my bed like that drove me nuts.
