[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[toxapex]

I see Jade, Ans, and Carmen enter. "Where's Jean?" I ask."He needs to know this, too..."

 

[Beary]

"I think he's asleep."

 

[FireNinja1]

I sit down for some coffee when I see the others there. I ignore them, and decide to just eavesdrop.

 

[Naiad]

(( whoo~ feel like trash right now ~v~; ))

I wake up to find Helix gone. "What the hell?"

- - - Post Merge - - -

I pick up my phone and dial Helix's number.

 

[toxapex]

"Sorry... just a second..." I answer my phone. "Yeah?"

 

[Naiad]

"Where are you? You could've at least left a note before leaving."

 

[toxapex]

"Oh, sorry. I went to the cafe to tell the others... about... th-that..."

 

[Naiad]

"I'll be there in a bit. Bye." I hang up.

 

[toxapex]

I put the phone away and order some tea. "Anyway, guys... as for why I asked you all t-to be h-here..." My voice shakes as I recall the incident to them, and feel the pain all over again...

 

[Beary]

I tear up, and lean against Ans.

"Did it look like she trusted the 'mysterious man of doom'?"

 

[Jawile]

I put my arm around Jade to try to comfort her.

 

[toxapex]

"It seems like... sh-she killed herself..." I admit. "The guy was p-probably just a d-dream... like Sage... s-said..." I'm crying a bit now. I try to calm down and drink my tea.

 

[Beary]

"Sage had no reason to kill herself. Maybe.." I smile a bit.
"Maybe she faked her own death. Maybe the mysterious man was someone she knew..."

 

[toxapex]

"St-stop it, Carmen... She's d-dead... and she's n-not coming back..." I bury my face in my arms on the table.

 

[Beary]

"But what if the body wasn't Sage's?"

"Shut UP!" I say to Carmen, tears falling down my face.

 

[toxapex]

"It was SAGE!" I slam my hand down on the table. "She's dead, and that was her! Now shut the f**k up, and just accept that she's gone!" I realize I was yelling, and shrink back.

 

[Beary]

"And there was that note.." I say, bluntly unfazed by Helix's outburst.

 

[toxapex]

"What about it?" I say, angry with Carmen.

 

[Beary]

"I'll try to quote it from memory..

"Sage,

I need to tell you stuff, but need to do it in a dark alley of death.

Meet me tonight in the "Deep-Fry Savant." Come alone.

-See you then..."

No name at the bottom. Jean and I both saw it."

 

[toxapex]

"That was what the note had in it?" Then that means... "That guy killed Sage..." I feel saddened once again, even more guilty for exploding on Carmen. "...Sorry..." I mutter.
