everybody says time heals everything || but what of the wretched hollow, the endless inbetween?
who: Erza Scarlet [thetitania] and Lluvia Loxar [elementfourplay]
what: Dealing with loss.
where: Their very sad house.
when: Severely backdated; a few days after Lucy's disappearance.
She'd looked everywhere.
Threatened and brow-beat the soldiers along the docks for information, delved into that strange and labyrinthine jungle, and had one particularly violent instance where she overturned a table in a bar after a patron there seemed far more interested in lewdly complimenting various aspects of her body and not telling her where Lucy was.
She'd looked everywhere. There was nowhere else to look, and that was a sobering, terrifying thought. How could someone suddenly be nowhere? It made no sense. No magic in her world was capable of it, but this world...
This world was different. To simply pull someone out of existence...how could anyone be capable of a magic so vast and encompassing? How could anything be capable of such? Lucy had been in the back room of the cafe, and then she was gone, and no one knew anything. No amount of violence and interrogation would change that.
So Erza did all she could think to do, and that was go home. She slumped into a chair, her clothing still soaked to the bone with rain, and fell into a dark, thunderous silence.
