Twenty Bells: [Action/Voice]

Aug 22, 2011 19:53

[He'd won her a stuffed penguin. She'd been hanging on his arm and squeezing it with a giant grin on her face. Everything felt, finally, like it was going to be okay. Like this trouble between them since sleeping together was just a little thing ( Read more... )

[These announcements are never easy but Archie sounds so down, that Selphie just can't leave him alone. Some people need time to be alone but sometimes, you have to be around others too. It makes the pain easier.]

Archie, where are you?

[Voice] noprevaricating August 23 2011, 01:59:59 UTC

[Blinkblink. Selphie?]

At-at the park.

[Voice] boomchucka August 23 2011, 02:01:44 UTC

I'll be there soon, okay?

[Voice] noprevaricating August 23 2011, 02:04:44 UTC

[Archie doesn't even register that, but he responds anyway.] Of course.

[Action] boomchucka August 23 2011, 02:12:41 UTC

[Selphie doesn't even bother responding before she closes her journals and takes off at a dead run through Lucetiland until she finds the park. Eventually, she comes across Archie looking like the sadest state of miserable she's even seen anybody in. It breaks her heart to see the man like this as she sits down next to him and gives his hand a gentle squeeze.]

[He doesn't even notice her until she touches him, at which point he blinks rapidly and looks at her. It takes him a second to come back to the world enough to bring up her name again.]

Selphie.

[Now he has to pretend he's okay.]

[Action] boomchucka August 23 2011, 02:25:00 UTC

[For an officer to not even react to somone sneaking up on him and touching his person, something is most definitely wrong. He looks far from okay as Selphie gives him a sympathetic look.]

Archie.

[Making small talk is not easy in difficult times, but he's been able parrot it before.]

Are you having a good time?

[Action] - consider yourself keyworded boomchucka August 23 2011, 02:36:28 UTC

[Selphie sighs. Evading. She knows it a mile away. She's quite skilled at it herself.]

It'd be a much better time if all of my friends were enjoying themselves as well.

[Action] - LOL noprevaricating August 23 2011, 02:39:37 UTC

[The act drops a little, and so do his eyes.]

...Someone else was sent home.

[Action] boomchucka August 23 2011, 02:47:38 UTC

You said that over the journal. Dawn Summers.

[Action] noprevaricating August 23 2011, 02:49:29 UTC

Well. We loved each other.

[Action] boomchucka August 23 2011, 02:57:03 UTC

[Selphie stares at Archie in surprise for a few moments. She tries to say something, anything to make it feel a little bit better but knows that it'll never be all right in Archie's case. Sadly, the right words just seem to be eluding Selphie as there's only one option left to her at the moment. Standing up, she moves behind Archie and wraps her arms around him and hugs him to let him know that he's not alone.

She can only imagine what Archie's feeling at the moment but knowing that she'd be in a similar state if Ceodore left her behind. The only thing she can do in this case is to play the silent support card.]

[Action] Now you've been keyworded! noprevaricating August 23 2011, 03:06:13 UTC

[She can probably feel him shake a little as he chokes back...something. Not tears, exactly, just a tremor in his chest, air that needs to be let out. One hand pats one of hers softly.]

[Action] Why yes, yes I have. boomchucka August 24 2011, 04:34:28 UTC

[She hugs him just a little bit tighter when she feels that tremor.]

[Action] noprevaricating August 24 2011, 05:59:02 UTC

[He lets her. After a moment, he squeezes her hand.]
