CHARACTERS: Rogue & ??? OR Elena & ???
WHERE: The Morran Ship & Far Shore
WHEN: Day :039 - Day :042
SUMMARY: Boat things. Decision making.
WARNINGS: Will update as needed!

ROGUE will spend much of her time wandering the ship, particularly the sections of the Lower Deck that lend themselves to easy observation of the sea. She'll avoid the more crowded areas, preferring to make said observations in relative peace, but she won't turn away from company.

ELENA will be drinking. When she's not enjoying the alcohol provided by their hosts, she'll be alternating time in the open air space on the Main Deck and the hosts' cramped quarters on the Upper Deck.

Unconventional formatting, but come at me. Brackets are totes fine, btw, this is just a slapdash post.

[ Damon, Caroline, and Sam. The man she loves, her best friend, and someone who means the world to her. That should be enough, she should be able to focus on what she has, but try as she might, she can't shake the feeling of what she's lost. Who she's lost. And she feels like such a child with her next words that it makes her even more upset about the whole thing. ]

( I know that, I do. I just... I really miss Prompto. )

[ He'd been the first friend she'd made here who wasn't connected to anyone else. Sam was close to Damon, Shiro was close to Sam, but Prompto had just arrived on the planet and been an instant best friend. He'd accepted her vampirism without hesitation and hadn't looked at her differently for it. And she misses him so much. ]

❰ honestly, it's not unlike how he feels about alaric — he misses him, no matter who else he has who should make that missing feel less. not that damon would ever admit to missing alaric the way elena can admit to missing prompto, of course, but he does, and now he apparently always will. it's a sort of schrodinger's mourning, where alaric is both alive and dead at the same time. it sucks.

I know. But you will see him again. And until you do, you just have to live with that.

there's no panacea he can offer, no magic words — prompto is in a coma. it sucks. but elena's life and world can't stop because of it. she's lost more than will ever be fair, but she doesn't get to give up because of it. ❱

[ She just has to live with it. Like everything else, she just has to endure the endless heartache and suffering of once again losing people she cares about. It threatens to overwhelm her at times, inching her closer to that familiar place of wishing she'd just drowned with her parents, or that she'd stayed dead after that second night on the bridge. Close, but not quite there, not yet. She's trying hard not to go back to that place. ]

( If you ever go into a coma, I'm going to be really upset. )

[ Not sad upset (well, yes, of course that), but more along the lines of tearing the entire station apart trying to find a way to wake him up again. Just the thought of it leaves her with the urge to physically attack something, which... is a fairly new sensation for her. ]

❰ What, me? Coma? Nah. I've got too much shit to do and too many people to look out for. Even if I could use the nap.

of course people don't get a choice in if they fall into a coma or not, damon isn't an idiot. he knows that. but he's not going to tell elena that may be a possibility she'll have to come to grips with when he can feel her total, manic terror at the idea of it. besides, in a perfect world, it'd be true — he has to look out for her and sam and caroline. there's no way he'd let himself fall into a coma, knowing that.

they don't live in a perfect world. he and elena know that better than most. but for right now, for her, he can overlook that fact. ❱

( You can sleep all you want when we get back up there, so long as I get to join you. Is your bed even big enough for two? )

[ She's trying to make the conversation a little lighter, while asking a legitimate question. Her previous stay on the station had been... traumatic, and hadn't exactly included a tour of all the living spaces. ]

[blooded]

❰ I don't think there's any room on the stationbigenough for a bed that could fit two, all we get are out little cubbies. Might be able to ask for one, though.

it's something to ask sam about. hell, ask the station for a room with a bed big enough to fit three, all of them could use a nap, and damon doesn't like the idea of sacking out without sam right there with them. all of them know that a good situation can turn on a dime — at least if sam is sleeping with them they'll all know immediately if anything goes wrong. ❱

[otrazhenie]

( Hmm. I guess it's a good thing I kinda like you then, huh? )

[ She's teasing him, a fact that she makes abundantly clear by pushing a whole heap of affection at him through their connection. He's not allowed to take her joke the wrong way, she won't let him. ]
