DAY

Day


The sensation is like being dragged through a cloud. A heavy, roiling nimbus which pervades your eyes, your ears, your skin, and what feels like your very soul. Or what's left of it.

Your eyes squeeze shut and when they open....well you know this place already, there was much ado about lampposts in this square not too long ago. But what you haven't known in how many weeks is the sun hanging high overhead, not stuck in a perpetual state of Twilight but properly shining in the sky.

The sun feels good and you feel more whole than you have in a while. Those are all inexplicably good things, and they should be celebrated. But the mark on your body, faded but still visible warns of something still more to come. And for those who have been missing a part of themselves for longer than that..it's just a whisper of a feeling, but it is very much real.

Welcome to Krakow, for real this time. For however long it lasts, at least.

[ BUT IT IS ART! ]
twoasone: (I'm just reminiscing)

[ You're fine.

He'll just... Stare for a moment. ]


How did you get her to supply that to you?
tokihanate: (. . . . . . .)

[ Munching on a fry thoughtfully. ] To think, all her plans would've been set awry if everyone had died to that bomb instead.
ortion: (❀ thoughtful)

[As Ango should!!!

Personal grievances aside, Dist feels like the biggest fool here. After all, he came very close to willingly working for the Lady. And for what?]


The best we can do now is hope that they can rectify our mistakes.

[Unless they can do something to help, but...that's kind of up in the air right now.]

The damage may have been able to deal a blow to her infrastructure as well.

[YEAH IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE THAT]

I can't believe how utterly simple that solution would have been. Ms. Wagner even pulled us out of the Twilight and into the Day, she probably could have done that for everyone.

[He's not wrong, and this is making Ango bury his face in his hands and silently scream to himself.]
twoasone: (I just want you here with me)

[ Frowning as he finishes off a leaf of lettuce... Gulp. ]

How were we supposed to know that before? [ He grumbles in a sulky voice. ] She's done a good job of manipulating the group until now.

[ That's the worst bit of her. Manipulation to her own ends. At least the Reverend kept his word at the end!

... But he does think. ]


Do you think there's still time for them to destroy the machines themselves?
tokihanate: (um what)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-15 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Amazing, in hindsight. And then they could've all been here instead, figuring this out from a different angle. [ And #teamspite wouldn't had to do so much work!! ]
twoasone: (That no one will cry at my funeral?)

[ The so-called afterlife has surely changed him in many ways. Not that he won't go back to his craft in the future, if there is one, but it has given him some perspective on things.

He manages a softer smile, even though he still feels the residual pain. ]


Don't worry, I know of more worthy targets than you.

[ Targets, not material. Ango is neither, considering how plain he is compared to the rest. ]
tokihanate: (the future where im not)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-15 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's almost funny, how simple indeed.

[personal profile] p_q 2020-02-15 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I did not. She found the challenge interesting, she said.

[His expression is kind of flat about this.

But it didn't turn him into a lizard or set him on fire, so he might have come out ahead in some way...?]

....do you really look like that too?
tokihanate: (have an almond)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-15 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I suspect she's going to try open the abyss any minute now so. Probably not? Unless that's the way to close it.
ortion: (❀ breakdown)

[YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE, ANGO.

It was bad enough that he died, but it's sure nice to know that his death was completely meaningless on top of it.]

[personal profile] p_q 2020-02-15 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

My true form is not like that, no. But there are some Hollows who come close.

[Fucking GlotonerĆ­a.]

[personal profile] p_q 2020-02-15 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Something to keep in mind for the future, I suppose.

[The real solution was way more murder all along. Can't believe Grimmjow was right about something





Not that he's ever going to acknowledge that, of course.]
twoasone: (please just stop touching me)

[ Looking back at the machines themselves... ]

The survivors are armed with guns, are they not? They could shoot her machinery while they have her distracted and blow up the entire room.

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-15 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Truly? Did some have to remain in the Night for you to get the rest of us out of the Twilight?
tokihanate: (there's no one sane)

[personal profile] tokihanate 2020-02-15 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... he's unsure what future you're planning there manager, but ok..... ]
notbymyside: (09)

[personal profile] notbymyside 2020-02-15 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not completely meaningless, they get to hang out over here and not be permanently dead!

...okay yeah it does feel meaningless right now, and Ango isn't sure he can ever apologize enough for it.

[You know, the future just in case the living completely fail at stopping Lucrezia and she comes gallivanting into the Day? That's a thing, too.]
