[Roleplay] The Aftermath 2.5 - A Cushion For Our Hearts

[Myst]

"I just need a few hours to myself." I pull my arm free from her grasp.

 

[Naiad]

(( we just need to start the memorial already TT W TT ))

I look away. "... Stay safe, alright?"

Don't leave me, dummy...

 

[nard]

( THE MEMORIAL YAS LETS DO IT TOMORROW )

 

[Myst]

I sigh. "I will."

I open the door and walk out.

 

[Naiad]

I curl up in the bed silently.

"Idiot..." I mumble.

 

[Naiad]

... The kids...

I get up slowly and walk into the hallway. "... Dumbbutt..." I mutter.

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

(I'm back I'm back I'm back)

 

[Naiad]

(I'm back I'm back I'm back)

(( yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

memorial's gotta happen yo ))

 

[Beary]

( I know you guys are probably mad at me.
Look at sig for information please. )

 

[Naiad]

( I know you guys are probably mad at me.
Look at sig for information please. )

(( Sorry, Maddy. <3 We just can't be mad at you. ))

 

[Myst]

(So... is this over?)

I sit down in a local tavern, taking a sip of my drink.

...never thought I'd come back here again... seems as if I've really come full circle. Amazing how much a person can change in such a small time frame. Just five years ago, I was the brute who always picked fights and killed people. Now... I'm a husband and a father... but am I really all that different? I still want them dead. How does that make me any better than I was five years ago?

I sigh and take another sip, savoring the flavor while I still can.

 

[Naiad]

(( nope ))

I sigh as the kids finish getting ready. ".. Where is he..?"

I shouldn't have let him walk out like that...

 

[CommanderLeahShepard]

(Let's say it's still Jean's birthday lol)

I wake up after falling asleep next to Carmen, who I knocked out earlier, and remember what day it was. I jump on the sofa like a kid. "CARMEN, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!"

 

[Naiad]

I sigh as I park the car. "... No sign of Blaze.." I glance at the kids from a mirror. "..."

 

[nard]

Already at where the service is being held, I quietly sit and look at the ground.


( )

 

[Naiad]

I hesitantly dial Blaze's number into my phone. Please go through....

 

[Myst]

My phone goes off and I pull it out. I glance at the name. Sai... I ignore her call and put my phone away. I don't get why she doesn't understand... I can't go... I just can't...

(Does she think this is her fault bc she pushed for sex the night before?)

 

[toxapex]

I finish eating, and wash my plate. "Wow... These are even better than the ones at the diner..."

After a long discussion, (( <_< )) I glance at my watch and remember the memorial. "Shoot! We're gonna be late!"

 

[Naiad]

I bite my lip and set the phone down.

Stupid butt..

I unbuckle my seatbelt and draw my knees up. ... I should stop being so demanding of him all the time...

(( sai ur not demanding gurl pls ))

 

[Myst]

I glance at him with a soft expression. "So... I guess this is it then."

I stand up and push my chair in. "We're really going..."

(Sai, notice Sage/Helix missing too.)
