[OOC: I suppose this is filtered to house 12 as he won't be answering the journal at all.]

[It's late afternoon in the town, the day had marked the first signs of the upcoming summer heat. Raven had been taking advantage of the change in weather by taking a very discreet walk through the town alone. He'd remained quiet for the past few

Comments

[rabidrapido]

[And who first to respond is Repede. Greeting guest or housemates is...]

...!

[Doesn't take very long for him to notice something wasn't right when he saw Raven outside the window. He starts barking up a storm in the house, to try and get the others attention before going outside to check on Raven himself.]

[sultrytempest]

[Just now. She pauses, waiting briefly before stepping closer, kneeling beside the couch and gently tugging aside Raven's shirt to see the blastia. ...That does not look good. After another moment of silence, she smiles faintly- there's little sense in looking sad in his last moments.]

Are you leaving us, Raven?

[crisis_rain]

[Usually he'd just faint from seeing Judith in a bath-towel as it is. It's probably not helping his heart much but he'll be dying a happy man at least, unable to help but laugh at little.]

There's... much worse ways ta go.

[Following his last words his Blastia is glows brightly, with the final signs of life before prompty fading out to nothing. Still and moving, eyes closed his life ends.]

...

[Repede glances up at Yuri after he could no longer sense Raven's life anymore.]

[once_knighted]

[Yuri stays still, not looking at anyone and keeping his expression as blank as possible. How he felt about all this, no one was about to know any time soon, preferably ever. If Estelle hadn't begun to use her healing artes at the moment, he would've remained still, but since she did, he's putting an hand on her shoulder to get her attention.]

... Estelle.

[rending_drop]

R-raven... [Sniffle.

This is really hitting him hard. He's always really looked up to Raven as a parental figure, someone he could really respect. So to see him go like this... Are those tears starting to well up in his eyes?]

[capital_justice]

[Flynn didn't say anything, staying where he stood. However, unlike Yuri, Flynn's expression wasn't all that blank. In fact, he looked pretty damn sad. He just couldn't find any words that would be appropriate for what just happened. Even if he didn't understand how.]

[sultrytempest]

[She hadn't expected it to be so quick, though it's a mercy that he wasn't in pain for long. She re-covers the blastia - there's little sense in looking at it right now - and glances back. Since Yuri's got Estelle's back, she looks... at Karol.

...Dammit she's not good at this comfort thing. But the poor kid needs something right now, so have an awkward arm around your shoulders, Karol.]

[rabidrapido]

[He fiddles with his pipe and situates himself besides Flynn. He must be at a lost for what has happened.]

[rendingblade]

[Nan had been out all day. To come home and find everyone crowded in the living room was unsettling. Especially when there was an entirely too still person lain out on the couch.

The sound of Karol's tears is hard to ignore too.]

... Karol.

[rending_drop]

[Oh crap, it's Nan. He can't let her see him like this. brb trying to wipe away those tears with his sleeve.

...DARN TEARS, WHY WON'T YOU STOP. D<]

[capital_justice]

[Flynn eased up a bit once he saw Repede near him, and shot Repede a weak smile. It's hard seeing someone you look up to die, especially so suddenly and right in front of you. But it seemed like Karol really needed comforting the most. And Flynn wasn't being all that helpful with that. Dammit.]

[inabook]

[sultrytempest]

[Oh snap, the girlfriend approacheth. Judith releases Karol, though she leaves a hand on his shoulder, and gestures to Nan. Come here and do something about him, will you?]

[once_knighted]

[Yuri's really not good with this comforting thing, but at the very least, he won't move his hand from Estelle's shoulder. When he hears Nan, and notices both Karol's condition and Judith's gesture, he looks over at Karol with a faint smile.]

Hey, Karol ... why don't you go outside with Nan for a little while? [This whole thing would be way too awkward for someone just walking in (not to mention a person not too close to the group), and there was no reason for Karol to see Raven like this any longer than he had to.]
