[ sporting a sick neck tat (reads receptacle), caelus has finished tidying up the barn and is ready to warm up by the pyre. great place put up one's feet and look for any fellow kidnap victims he has yet to personally introduce himself.
he sits heavy on the bench beside a certain redhead, like, not at all intimidated by the prospect of interrupting his thoughts ]
Lavi glances over, not even a little bit uncomfortable with how Caelus is here now, and maybe a little amused at being 'hey there-ed' after hey there-ing so many other people.]
Hey yourself.
[he has a scarf neatly wrapped around his neck, to obscure all neck tats. which doesn't matter because it's projecting through the fabric, "attachments"]
[will make up for his horrible cassandra prophecy by being incredibly annoying from now on
no but he will look for caelus some time after the end of execution. perhaps giving caelus a grace period after the incredibly shitty weekend he's been through?]
Hey there.
[it's both a greeting and a joke and a gauge to see how his vibe is]
[ lavi will find caelus outside the barn at a trough which he's cleaned and refilled with fresh water. standing right up against the veil during execution left him feeling overheated.
the anger he felt at the whole situation made him feel double overheated.
so he's set his jacket aside with his bat and splashes the lukewarm water on his face and the back of his neck.
he looks up at lavi's voice. ]
Hey there back at you.
[ the vibe is impeccably... opaque. caelus isn't giving much to read, opposed to how he'd acted in trial. but the words were returned, take that for what lavi will. ]
[Lavi is at the pyre, gaze not so much on the posters as it is on the fire itself. He's expressionless, but his shoulders are tense and his hands are curled into fists.
He shakes himself out of it when he sees Caelus though, turning his gaze on him instead. vibe check how is the boy,]
Hey. Do you know where Ichi and Tomi were on the island last night?
[ when he sees lavi, caelus raises a hand. he starts to say their ritual 'hey there.' he gets the 'heh--' sound out.
darkness claims them.
aside from lavi, the people are new, but the sense of desperation isn't. the white-haired guy is yelling for his friend and the response is a betrayal.
the quote on lavi's posted profile makes sense at last.
so much else doesn't.
when they return to their own bodies and their own time, caelus can't stop himself from blurting out a question. ]
[ won't go to swamp?? fine!!! have caelus trailing you like the least subtle shadow. lavi got blood on his face; he's imprinted. and now he's standing always somewhere non-threatening but non-leaving wherever lavi has gone.
[ well, there are no locations and this exact text:
[You'll be] dropped outside in a botanist’s garden on a cliff-face with no exit except to climb the stone railing and narrowly shimmy along the edge of the building to a broken window.
that is where caelus and lavi are at the moment. caelus, gazing down at the one noted escape route. ]
[ lavi can find caelus at the edge of the woods, not far past the warning sign nobody really perceives. he's simply standing there, bat in hand.
the energy is a tough read.
many soft alphas are crying. everyone is feeling it. but caelus wants to understand what happened. he wanted to be on the investigation. he wanted, he wanted, he wanted ]
Hey there.
[ the glance over his shoulder is brief, just enough to verify it isn't a spooder that looped around ]
[ turns out the ghostly baseballer may leave the party vicinity and walk scawwy's grounds. if he sees lavi without the entourage or... omegaverse sign... he will jog over.
