Fiftieth Theory [Voice/Action for Housemates]

[i_speak_softly]

[When Don opens the door to the storage room, he immediately forgets what he went there for. His housemates will hear him shouting:]

No!

[Later, when he's calmer, a Voice post:]

Derek Bliss has gone home.

[... That's all he can manage.]

[Action] SO MUCH FOR THAT HIATUS. /SOB ... replies will be slow but I'll be here. >_>;

[Splinter is there in a matter of moments.]

[This is an announcement Jack Sparrow has to process. Derek is gone? One of his oldest friends---true friends---here in Luceti? There is a hollowness at Smart, Traitorous Turtle's words. There is only one way to try to fill that sudden gap.

Derek has gone home to die.

The pirate grabs the surfboard Derek found for him and makes his way to that one spot where the two men often enjoyed hitting the waves together. His first ride ends in a spectacular crash. Then the next. And the next. But the fourth ride is a success---a freeing, wondrous, blissful success. Derek, his friend, has gone home to die. He has to do some living before he can face that.

Finally, a breathless, soaked pirate sits on the beach and opens his journal. Talking to Donatello has been an infuriating task ever since the threats leveled against his Joanna. But he feels he has to say something about this.]

He was a good man, was Derek. Better than us.

[Derek? No, that wasn't right. They'd just talked about rebuilding the flats and platforms from the play. They were going to start up a rock band and perform at Cloud Nine or other venues around the village, they were supposed to meet later to discuss it. He couldn't be gone.

But it's not the sort of thing one jokes about in Luceti.]

Thank you for letting us know.

[herotypical]

H-home?

[ the vampire slayer -- a compatriot, a colleague, a comrade -- can hear her own voice shake. derek is the man she went to when other men went home. who, then, could help her shoulder this loss?

don't cry don't cry don't cry. ]

Are you sure? He didn't just...maybe he's in the caves again. Donatello. I'll check the caves. I have to check the caves

[...Giles' reply is a while in coming.

He has some feelings to sort out.

Finally:]

Th-Thank you for telling us.

[wise_maiden]

[... She'll stop by the house Derek had been staying in first.

Just to be sure.

Maybe to even see if that little plant was still there.

Haha, after all of that... well. It happened to everyone eventually. It was supposed to happen eventually, and may have even been what he wanted. But the happening...]


That's...

Thank you for letting us know, Donatello.

[justicereigns]

Hn...

Sorry Donatello.

I don't know how much help it is, but if you ever want someone to work on bikes with, I'm still... It's not as good as him but... [Wow. Still always bad at this.]

They really have a fucked up way of deciding who goes or stays.
