Eight Pies Flying // Accidental Video // Too late....

Jan 17, 2010 23:31

[The communicator turns on to darkness, the sound of someone gasping and running the only sounds being heard. And then, suddenly, it falls out of the pocket it had obviously been in, bouncing harshly against the pavement. There's an old man in orange robes standing in front of some blood stained robes ( Read more... )

Gyatso! Where are you?

flynfruitpies January 18 2010, 05:17:52 UTC

O-Outside, just outside....

[commentlog!] forged_anew January 18 2010, 05:19:46 UTC

I'll be right there.

[Aaand he totally is, in just a minute, racing outside and looking terrified of what he'll find. He doesn't even dare ask if Aang is okay... he doesn't know if he can stand the answer]

[commentlog!] FF we'll be getting a meryl soon I think flynfruitpies January 18 2010, 05:23:26 UTC

[Gyatso is not kneeling next to Aang's corpse--in fact, it's nowhere to be found. All that remains of Aang is his bloodied robes. And from their state, it's obvious enough that he hadn't of survived.

Gyatso is quietly sitting there, in shock, staring at the robes that used to belong to his student.]

[commentlog!] Okay~ XD forged_anew January 18 2010, 05:30:13 UTC

[Zuko runs up, dropping heavily to his knees beside Gyatso and staring at the bloodied clothes, golden eyes wide.]

No...

[he'd known of course, when he'd seen that video, he'd known but... Zuko reaches out to catch Gyatso's shoulder to pull him from his shocked stupor]

[commentlog!] HAY GAIZ I HERD U LIEK MERLYS medanmyboy January 18 2010, 05:39:02 UTC

[Dashing onto the commentlog is Meryl, out of breath from running (and blinking) straight from Gohl the moment he heard Gyatso's voice. He stops abruptly at the sight of them, and the robes, bloodied and torn.

He's seen too much death, too much heartache and that's what Gyatso is feeling right now and he needs to be there for him. ]

Gyatso, Zuko...

[Where is he needed? Right here, but - he comes forward a little more gently, to help Zuko with wondertwin. It's hard to tear their eyes from the sight - Aang - but he manages it to look into Gyatso's face, try to shake him gently out of it.]

[commentlog!] YES HIS CODE WAS TEH LAST ONE I NEEDED FOR WEBKINZ flynfruitpies January 18 2010, 05:48:34 UTC

[Gyatso jerks in surprise when Zuko touches his shoulder, but it isn't until Meryl's there that his eyes really focus again. He still staring, but finally seeing him.]

Meryl, Zuko, this... this can't be...

[This can't be happening.]

[commentlog!] XD;; oh u gaiz forged_anew January 18 2010, 06:12:29 UTC

[He doesn't take his hand away, holding Gyatso's shoulder firmly as an odd emptiness settles over him, cold logic replacing the pain and the fact he wants to scream in denial. He wants to find whoever did this and tear them limb from limb, hurt them just as badly. But his voice is quiet and his expression pained but calm]

He'll be back in a day, Gyatso. Come on. Get up.

[commentlog!] :> u liek it medanmyboy January 18 2010, 06:23:59 UTC

[There's enough blood that...he doesn't get woozy, but something tells him that he won't be eating anything for a day or two. Especially not meat....that....

Stop that, Meryl.

Zuko is right. It's only a waiting game now. Death will come, and in this place, it will reverse as well.

He looks back at Gyatso's face and his resolution cracks just a bit.]

He needs a minute, Zuko....I think...

[He suddenly pulls the old monk forward into an embrace.]

Just for a moment, and then we'll go....

[He's assuring himself as well as the other two.]

[commentlog!] He'd make an awesome one, YOU KNOW IT. flynfruitpies January 18 2010, 06:33:00 UTC

[Gyatso makes a soft sob as Zuko tries to get him to leave Aang--he can't leave, he can't leave his student like this--and then another when Meryl hugs him. The only movement he makes is the shaking of his body.

He's in shock.]

[commentlog!] Ahahah /loling forever. Which is so wrong in this commlog. lmao forged_anew January 18 2010, 06:52:14 UTC

[Zuko steps away, letting Gyatso have his moment and taking one of his own as well. He turns his face away from the sight of those bloody robes, closing his eyes and breathing shakily past the lump in his throat. Another death. Another time he hadn't been able to do anything.

It's always like this, and he's always useless... His fists clench at his sides, jaw clenched tightly, but he's turned in such a way that his expression is invisible to the others. He's got to be strong for Gyatso.]

[commentlog!] I LAUGH IN THE FACE OF DEATH medanmyboy January 18 2010, 17:01:36 UTC

No....

[Here, have Meryl hiding your face in his shoulder. He recalls Elysia's disappearance with sudden sharpness...the absolute, overwhelming despair that accompanied it. He had never felt such a thing in all his years. And this....this was worse. And worse, still, for Gyatso...the sobs shock him, but then it makes him panic. If the monk is reduced to this...]]

Shh, shh...

[The mage holds tightly to his friend, wishing desperately that everything would be alright. That everything would just...stop, and go backwards....and none of this would ever happen. He knows that never works. But he has to wish it...

"It's alright." But it's not alright...it would be absurd to even try to say it.]

Gyatso...

[They need to get him back into the apartment. He slowly stands, still holding Gyatso, supporting him up.]

[commentlog!] FFFFF, I'm still exceptionally proud of the second tag on this entry... >_> flynfruitpies January 18 2010, 19:47:05 UTC

[It's the care of the others that brings Gyatso back from his grief--at least, enough to function. Enough that he can stand with Meryl's help, and enough to face forward instead of into Meryl's shoulder.

He feels like crying, but he can't. It's just too much. Aang is dead. Even if he'll be back tomorrow... Aang is dead. It leaves a gaping hole in his heart. He had raised Aang since he was little, and for the boy to be dead....

Gyatso knows that Aang is dead, even without seeing the body. He can just sense it.

So all he can do is put one foot in front of the other, slowly, with Meryl's help. He has to be there, he has to keep himself together. Aang will need him tomorrow. Aang will be upset, maybe terrified over what had happened, and he needs to be there....

It's the only thought that keeps him from losing it completely.]

[commentlog!] forged_anew January 18 2010, 22:21:23 UTC

[There's movement and Zuko takes a deep breath through his nose, collecting himself before he turns to stand on Gyatso's other side. He's walking for now, and Meryl's still supporting him, so Zuko doesn't try to help because it might be too much and smother the monk. He's just there, walking slowly on the other side, expression hard and somber.]

He'll be back tomorrow.

[he can only repeat it, and mostly to himself. It's still hard and he hateshatehates how it makes him seem so callous and dismissive, but Aang will be back she wants to focus on that and not on the blood. That and finding whoever did this. That... little man had seen something. Zuko was going to find him and make him talk.]

[commentlog!] medanmyboy January 19 2010, 00:51:33 UTC

[Meryl continues to support him, remembering how he was supported himself by Gyatso. And - by Aang. Oh, Light damn this place for letting this happen...

Come on, Meryl. Keep going. Keep helping Gyatso.

He looks across to Zuko. On the contrary, he actually thinks the boy has the right attitude about it. Not that Gyatso's is wrong - but that he's always been able to pull himself up before, and he wants to be able to dot that again, just to keep going...time marches on...we have to keep going.]

Perhaps I should stay...

[That won't be a problem, right? He hitches a breath, trying to think through the haze of shock and pain. They reach the door.]

Check the time...

[commentlog!] flynfruitpies January 19 2010, 01:33:23 UTC

[Gyatso has never really experienced violence before, other than the Alien that had attacked him. He has yet to go through the Genocide. To suddenly see a murder, of his student no less, has come as quite a shock.

Although he's not unused to the sight of blood. Air Nomad children tended to get into accidents with their gliders as they learned how to use them. Injuries happened. But none of that was ever of the malicious sort. Just accidents. He had only ever seen accidental injuries.

What was done to Aang was done on purpose.

But he's slowly focusing more and more on the present.]

I-I know, Zuko.. He will be back...

[As to Meryl's suggestion, Gyatso nods.]

Y-Yes. Please, stay...

[He checks the time, rather numbly, and commits the time to memory. Aang will be back then, maybe sooner.]
