[Sitting in the church at strange hours of the night playing with a wedding ring is one Elektra Natchios. Her loss is over with and now she can fully remember everything. Abel is gone and with him the last bit of adopted "family" she had left in the castle barring Helen's yearly reappearance. It's lonely to say the least. She's not feeling all that

I'm still here!

[likethetragedy]

I thought you might be.

[siebter]

I stayed with the Doctor and some other people. That way I wouldn't accidentally hurt anyone.

[likethetragedy]

You did the right thing.

Elektra

[spongetastic]

I'm here. What've you been doing lately?

Peter

[likethetragedy]

Going on pointless losses and waking up to these messes. What about you?

Elektra

[spongetastic]

Battling against psycho telepaths.

Peter

[likethetragedy]

So business as usual. Any serious injuries?

...

[With all the people that have left recently, Spike isn't sure why that surprises him.]

About time his luck turned around.

[likethetragedy]

Had to happen eventually even for a man like him.

Dictated;

[gottaknockhard]

Yeah. He used up all his bad luck while he was here, so he should be good for a while.

[likethetragedy]

I think he'll miss the unlimited sweets.

[Have the only one left in the church. Sora's doing his best to keep up with the cleaning, the lighting of candles and incense, but it's obvious he's still reeling. His altar boy's robes are askew and rumpled. He looks like he's lost sleep.]

Welcome.
Peace be with you.

I'm sorry... There's no one to give mass.
Would you like to light a candle?

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra carefully returns the wedding ring (which Sora may recognize as Abel's) to her necklace and stands up.]

I don't mind. [She'll be heading toward the candles now.]

[colorlesschild]

[He doesn't jump, but his eyes widen slightly, murmuring.]

Father's ring.

[He'll turn his attention to the candles, offering her the tall white guide candle used to light the others.]

Who is the candle for?

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra pays no mind to his murmur. She accepts the guide and lights one of them.]

Who knows? There's a lot of people who deserve one.

Elektra (I almost spelled it Elextra... just so you know this)

[Ever since coming back to the castle, Maya has been hiding out in her room. Half of it was just a desire to rest, but half of it was working through all those old feelings that the incident brought up. However, the journals had been pretty quiet since Riful's attack.... she just assumed that everyone was resting.

So she's a little surprised to see such a cryptic message from Elektra?]

Okay. I'm not really busy or anything... where did you want to talk?

Maya (I laughed a little thinking about it)

[likethetragedy]

I'm already in the church so meet me there. I'll take you out to eat later if you're hungry.

Elektra

[optimystically]

That sounds like a pretty good deal. I'll be there in a second. [and she's on her waaaaay]

church filter forever

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra will be sitting in the same pew as last time. There's some candle lit now though thanks to Sora's appearance.]
