[ erin will find him where everyone will find him, truth be told: sitting at a bench by the pyre, staring into the fire. he seems as foggy as their surroundings. the sole signs of true consciousness are the open eyes and the tigh grip he has on the handle of his bat. ]
[ trailblazer health benefits do not include access to therapy but you can talk to the rabbit-shaped train conductor as much as you want. that's something. ]
No. Aventurine wasn't in the barn when we were locked in. It was me, Boothill, Miss Ishtar, Aqua, and Nina.
[Without preparation, is what she was going to complete that sentence with. She hurries to get behind Caelus, to enter the skull and find the basin and skeleton decor]
If anything bad happens I take no responsibility at all!
[ caelus can be found seated somewhere on the grass outside of the main entrance to the mall. he's making sure rondo doesn't go back in there and fight the pyramid head.
when he sees erin--because he can see! his eyes are back! he waves.
at some point between returning from cyoa thursday and now, his hair grew down to his waist... it can be described as 'luscious.' ]
Well, my vision goes really blurry sometimes. And my memories feel wrong or disappear often. I forgot twice why I'm out here, so I left, and then I came back.
[ caelus can't attribute either directly to the spring, however. they might be from his fog trip. he was dunked as soon as he returned. ]
[Not that she's happy he's having secondary effects, of course!]
I'd almost suggest writing your immediate plans down, but with the way you say you're seeing blurry I'd bet it'd happen right when you try to read what you wrote.
[ pats down all his jacket pockets and i'm going to say he has a stolen pen from somewhere. impulse control who is she? finds a bare spot on his forearm and starts writing.
Rondo and Marina and I fought one big freaky guy on Friday during an exploration mission and there was another one with a pyramid on his head that jumped out when we were leaving. Rondo...
[ need he say more? rondo wanted to rondo at it. ]
[ hello erin!!! want to grab something to eat at the food court? robin ran away from her grave so caelus is trying to busy himself until it feels appropriate to find her.
food sounds amenable. also his hair is back to normal. ]

week0 thursday; pre-curfew
he recalls erin from yesterday's trick-or-treating, so she gets waved at. ]
no subject
There has to be better places to stare atnothing. It's getting late, get indoors.
[Caelus, what if there are mosquitoes. You won't like that]
no subject
[ whether that's wisdom disguised as nonsense or nonsense that's just nonsense, caelus does not specify. ]
I'm on the lookout for another leech blanket.
no subject
[Erin, you tattletale...]
week0 friday;
no subject
[Erin sits nearby. She seems a tad more hesitant because, well, she's not so callous she'd give Caelus a hard time with this all]
I want to talk a little about what happened. Think you can?
[Erin is snooping around, yeah]
no subject
glances at her, then back to the fire. ]
I'm okay.
[ these are the actions of an okay person. ]
What do you want to know about?
no subject
[You're so not okay, dude. Still, she tries to focus on trying to gather facts]
Did you see Aventurine or Death last night at all? Especially after the whole getting locked at places part.
[Unaware of the incoming trial discussions, Erin is already attempting to piece stuff together, yup]
no subject
No. Aventurine wasn't in the barn when we were locked in. It was me, Boothill, Miss Ishtar, Aqua, and Nina.
no subject
[She sighs]
None of you figured out how to get out of the barn, right?
no subject
[ this is a mild exaggeration. mild. ]
--but it didn't budge.
no subject
[Was he clever or skillful enough for that?]
no subject
He was smart. And stronger than me with his abilities around.
[ but his abilities were deactivated, same as everyone else's. even after trial, some of these mysteries will remain. ]
week1 monday;
But how do we eat it?
Week 4 --- Monday
Okay, this is not the best addition we could have had, is it.
no subject
[ it's not that he didn't hear her warning and apprehensive tone, but he can't stop moving his body or he'll fall into an endless pit of despair. ]
If we go together it can't be that bad.
no subject
[Even though she says that, when she sees Caelus seems like he wants to go in she steps towards it because nah, not letting Caelus go in alone]
no subject
[ yeah erin you have no choice but to go with him. he's already nearly to the base of the great skull and he's going to climb it. ]
no subject
[Oh good grief she has to come along. Erin is already trying to figure out how to climb this. Smooth bone isn't the easiest thing ever to climb!]
no subject
[ scrambling through a crack. better hurry up, erin. you know nobody will be okay with losing their brand new feral raccoon. ]
no subject
[Without preparation, is what she was going to complete that sentence with. She hurries to get behind Caelus, to enter the skull and find the basin and skeleton decor]
If anything bad happens I take no responsibility at all!
no subject
I know you can defend yourself, but if you're worried, I can handle anything spooky.
[ even without his bat. so much confidence for a dead guy ]
no subject
[She exhales]
We all have gotten roughed up from entering places carelessly, okay?
[Yeah, she got worried for Caelus]
But since you know I can defend myself, guess what? I'll defend you.
[Even without a weapon]
no subject
[ how touching! he's crouched down by the emerald water, dipping his hand in for a moment.
it's not acid. how fortunate.
he pulls his hand out as quick as he dunked it. ]
No leeches. I think we could take a swim.
no subject
[thanks karma]
week 5, friday
when he sees erin--because he can see! his eyes are back! he waves.
at some point between returning from cyoa thursday and now, his hair grew down to his waist... it can be described as 'luscious.' ]
Yo.
no subject
[Is that a consequence of healing? Did you submerge into the spring and come out with incredible hair?]
no subject
[ caelus cannot wait for it to go away. really. truly. the beauty queen look is not him. ]
no subject
[The spring was really, really kind to Caelus, in her opinion! Wow]
no subject
[ caelus can't attribute either directly to the spring, however. they might be from his fog trip. he was dunked as soon as he returned. ]
no subject
[Not that she's happy he's having secondary effects, of course!]
I'd almost suggest writing your immediate plans down, but with the way you say you're seeing blurry I'd bet it'd happen right when you try to read what you wrote.
[No winning here, is there?]
no subject
[ pats down all his jacket pockets and i'm going to say he has a stolen pen from somewhere. impulse control who is she? finds a bare spot on his forearm and starts writing.
we're gonna do a momento. ]
no subject
[damn it caelus]
no subject
[ if erin comes closer, she can see that he's written big freaky guy in food court maybe??? ]
no subject
So what's that one supposed to be about?
[Since he had to write it, it must be important!]
no subject
[ need he say more? rondo wanted to rondo at it. ]
week 5, sunday
food sounds amenable. also his hair is back to normal. ]
Hey.
no subject
Was Robin's reaction better or worse than breaking down?
[Wow, Erin, you don't hold back when you have something bouncing around in your head, huh]
no subject
I don't know. I wish she hadn't run off but she knows what she needs the best right now.
no subject
[Erin forgot how a reasonable person normally reacts to this stuff]
no subject
She'll come around when she's ready.
no subject
[Maybe a friendlier face than Erin seeing her first will be good]
no subject
[ caelus rests his chin on his fist. in thought. ]
But I consider her a friend and I promised I'd bring her back to her home.
