[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[Naiad]

I bite my lip. "..... Sure."

 

[Myst]

I carefully hoist Gio over on my shoulder and hold out my free hand for Sai to grab. "Are you ready to go?"

 

[Naiad]

I hesitate before taking Mace's hand. ".... Yeah."

.... Damn.

 

[Myst]

I squeeze Sai's hand supportively and smile. "I'm sure Blaze will be back to his normal self in the morning..." Or so, I hope... No matter how bad he is, he doesn't deserve to get hurt...

I lead Sai outside the room and start walking towards Gio's room.

 

[Naiad]

I smile weakly. "... Yeah..."

I let Mace lead me to Gio's room.

 

[Myst]

I let go of her hand when we reach Gio's room. "I'll be a second."

I walk inside and lay him down on the bed then pull his blanket over him. Poor kid...

I walk back out into the hallway and ask, "Still want to lock him in?"

 

[Naiad]

I stare at the ground. ".... Let's go."

(( means no))

 

[Myst]

I nod. "Okay." I lead her back to my office.

(His room is connected to his office. Think similar layout to Sage's room and has two beds.)

 

[Naiad]

I follow Mace silently.

 

[Myst]

I pause by my office door while I pull out my keys. I ask softly, "Sai... did you want to talk about it?" I open the door wide and let her inside.

(His room is the door in the back. Imagine his room as meticulously clean.)

(Office area has a desk w/its chair plus two chairs in front of it. And an area like those banks with four "waiting area" chairs.)

 

[Naiad]

I walk through the door and take a deep breath. "..... It was going to be our first real date.... He planned everything as a surprise..."

 

[Myst]

"Wow... that's... really surprising of him..." I sit down behind the desk and glance over at the clock. 10pm... it's late, isn't it? Not really. I set a fresh pot of coffee for myself.

I say aloud, "My room's in the back. If you're tired, you can go to sleep right now. I don't mind." I smile.

 

[Naiad]

A tear falls from my eye. "I— I just thought that everything was finally over......"

Go to sleep, Sai.

I walk towards the door to Mace's room. ".... Nevermind, I shouldn't bother you..." I mumble.

 

[Myst]

"Sai, wait... It's really no bother. I don't mind..." I take a sip of my coffee.

 

[Naiad]

I hesitate before turning the knob. "..... It was cute, y' know....? I just.... didn't expect Gio to do this...."

 

[Myst]

I say softly, "Sometimes, things happen for reasons you'll never understand..." I sigh. "Night, Sai... I'll be up if you need to talk..."

 

[Naiad]

".... Night, Mace." I take off my shoes and collapse on the bed.

I eventually drift off to a restless sleep.

 

[Myst]

I finish my coffee and end up falling asleep at my desk.

I peer out the door.

Good, Mace is asleep.

My eyes flutter open. ".... ugh..... What the hell happened last night...?"

 

[Myst]

My eyes shoot open and I realize I fell asleep at my desk. Wow... I thought coffee was supposed to keep you up... not the opposite. I silently chuckle to myself.

I wake up feeling slightly dizzy. I open my eyes and see black. Black... w-where's the... light?!

I let out a blood-curdling scream that can be heard throughout the whole building.
