[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. ]

[ He turns his gaze to the river, a bit wistful. ]
If you'd like to stay here, it's okay, but if you need some other distractions... I'm around.
no subject
Thanks Wataru, you're really sweet...
[And he thinks about it. It feels more polite to take him up on the offer, but...]
I think...I'd like to stay here for a bit and think on some things.
But...maybe later, when I'm ready, I'd like to play with you.
no subject
Sure. If you'd still like my company, then...
[ There will be plans for playing violin later and maybe go on about their project. But right now he's content just standing here contemplating the river with Elliot. ]
no subject
...Sure, but only if you don't mind. I'm sure you have other things to do.
no subject
[ He was more concerned about bothering Elliot and wasting his time.
They're both too good for this world.]no subject
You're a really kind person, Wataru.
no subject
[ Elliot needs support, he's gonna get it. Just common sense!
Hopefully the guy feels better after they hang out a bit. Wataru'll be there for him. ]
no subject
[He's grateful to have someone here. He'll have to find some way to pay Wataru back. For now he'll go quiet as he goes back to processing his thoughts]
