[Open] Canon Update & Catch-all!
Who: Elliot & OPEN!
When: January 4th
Where: Mirror house & around Aefenglom
What: Canon update/Catch-All!
Warnings: Major spoilers for Trails of Cold Steel 3 afoot! Also CW mentions of death.
I. Mirror House
[Elliot didn't visit the mirror house very often. Aside from the times of new arrivals or checking to see if someone's left, there wasn't much reason to be there. But today, he felt compelled to go, by reasons he couldn't explain. Without really thinking about it, he wound up in front of mirror that was decorated in assorted carvings of music related items and his beloved friends. And still without thinking, he reached out to touch the reflective pristine glass.
And all of a sudden, came a whirlwind of memories playing on the glass. They start off nice: leaving home to go on tour, releasing his first record, concerts, seeing Rean again, getting the group chat going. But just as pleasant as the memories start, they quickly go darker: the truth of Hamel, the dark dragon, Azure Siegfried, the Curse, Angelica, the Gral of Erebos, the Courageous exploding, Millium-
Elliot, who was completely transfixed on the memories, collapses as soon as the glass goes back to normal. Once more, he's aware that he's back in Aefenglom. Not in the hellish Gral, watching friends die and knowing what was now spreading across Erebonia. They were all in danger, except now he was-]
N-No..! Not now, I can't...why?
[Whatever he means is lost, because he's completely overcome with sobbing. He'll probably be like this a good long while. Anyone bonded with him will feel waves of grief and fear coming from him.]
II. Aefenglom
[Eventually, Elliot's able to collect himself enough to pull himself off the floor and leave the mirrorhouse. From there...well, he doesn't know where to go. He doesn't want to go back to his house, how do you go home to your friends who are none-the-wiser and tell them such horrible news? He really didn't feel up to that just yet. Nor did he feel like continuing on his daily schedule, there was no way he could focus on music or anything else.
So eventually, he decides to just...wander. He starts walking, not even really thinking about the direction or where he'll go. If you pass by him, it's clear he's barely paying attention to his surroundings as he slowly walks. It doesn't even seem to register to him that it's freezing out. Or maybe you'll catch him standing still, near the river or the ocean, simply staring - completely lost in thought, sometimes quietly talking to himself ]
...What am I supposed to do now...?
[No matter how many times he asks himself that, he can't seem to find the answer]
[OOC: Elliot's been canon updated to the end of CS3! Clearly, it had a happy ending. ]

no subject
Just to be safe-- one each. That way it's fair.
[She turns over one of her quartz to him. It was a treat for both of them-- it was only fair if they both went in for it together.]
If we have anything left over, we can just bring home something nice for the others.
[And this way there's no way they should have to worry about money even a little.]
no subject
[He nods along with her plan]
Right, sounds good. I know a good pawn shop, now it's just a matter of finding a nice hotel.
no subject
I know a little bit about the hotels in the entertainment district. If we're talking top of the line, I know the one.
[There's a good selection, but tonight they're going all in, so the choice isn't that hard.]
no subject
[He gives her a little smile and nods, pulling himself away from the ledge.]
Well, now that we have a plan...we should probably get going. We'll catch colds if we stay out here too long.
no subject
[It's an odd choice but-- she does feel like it's put a little spring back in her step. They have a plan, something to look forward to. The rest can wait, tonight is about self care.
She gives him her good hand, lacing their fingers together.]
Onward, then!
no subject
He takes her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze]
Yeah, let's go!
[Off they go, towards the entertainment district]
