[ hi bucky they are just here. cloud leans back against a wall somewhere in this void ]

... Never thought I'd miss how the Realm did executions, considering what those were like.

[ it turns out the guillotine was preferable to looney tunesing ]

[frostythehitman]

I know. It was still messed up but at least it was less of a...spectacle.

[skyagain]

A literal spectacle. [ and then, also, tiredly; ] And there were actual ways for people to die.

[ sieghart maybe did not deserve that comedy of errors ]

[frostythehitman]

There were. But I don't think she knew them--or how to execute them properly.

She was a bad pick to do it. But I'm sure that was why it was her.

[skyagain]

Pretty sure there's a chance either none of them would've work and they wanted her to throw him out the window. That's the one he wanted the least, it looked like.

[ by the. panic objection before it happened ]

w1, thursday

[frostythehitman]

[ well now i'm just voiding this. When Bucky encounters Cloud he just looks him up and down. ]

You got patched up, then?

[skyagain]

Yeah. For the most part.

[ a bitch immediately went to get cleaned up and change aND grabbed his stupid sword back, so none of his wounds are visible anymore. hard to say if he is lying but he is still favoring his left arm. ]

Arm's gonna take a while still.

[frostythehitman]

[ well he doesn't look WORSE than he did before, so Bucky will take it. ]

Where the hell did you guys end up that wrecked you so badly?

[skyagain]

Rich people party.

[ HE HAS BEEN SAYING THIS NOT AS A JOKE THIS ENTIRE TIME ]

[frostythehitman]

[ well bucky wasn't paying attention too closely at the time, but also: ]

You know, those don't usually turn into bloodbaths just because there's rich people at a party. There's usually something specific that goes wrong in them to turn out that way.

w1, saturday

[frostythehitman]

[ I'm voiding this but wherever we are, Bucky will offer him: his flask! i promise it has booze in it now, not salt. ]

Welcome back to the living. How's it feel?

[skyagain]

[ he shakes it to make sure it's booze before he takes a rather large swing. he's had. a few days. ]

A lot better than when I still had the eye hole. [ he has some kind scar around his eye I haven't decided the shape of, but otherwise. it's there! wow! ]

[frostythehitman]

[ it's. a lil salty. from residue. but it is otherwise perfectly normal booze. ]

From pain, or just the strangeness of having a hole where there shouldn't be? They made it sound like all the pain and dying parts of it got halted.

[skyagain]

[ he absolutely makes a face and looks at bucky like "why is it salty" when he gives it back, thanks. ]

Hmm... Pain was still there. Just a lot less. Made it hard to pay attention to half of everything that was going on.

[frostythehitman]

Huh. I thought that was from missing a chunk of brain, not the pain itself.

Any idea how you just...[ he gestures vaguely to him and his very not-dead self. ]

w2, friday

[frostythehitman]

[ we are in the restaurant, because Bucky wants to be sitting down somewhere to be grumpy without looking like a complete fucking goblin for once. He is begrudgingly eating breakfast. and sipping at some coffee. ]

[skyagain]

[ cloud is just going to. slide in to sit next to him. ]

How's the arm?

[frostythehitman]

Better.

[ He shrugs his right shoulder and sits up, so that Cloud can see it's in a makeshift sling of torn fabric. ]

Not perfectly healed, but at least it's an arm again and not a water balloon full of bone shards.

[skyagain]

Ouch. [ just. ouch? that is a description. he frowns a little at the makeshift torn fabric ] Couldn't have gotten 'em to aim at the other one?

[frostythehitman]

Pfft, I wish. But it was an accident--statue basically exploded and everything just landed randomly. In my case, it happened to be on my regular arm.

week 2, saturday

[skyagain]

[ well. idk what jail is like still because cola didn't describe it but cloud's here ]

... Bucky.

[ that's kind of all he's got for now. he's looking an odd mix of concerned, annoyed and a little guilty. HOW IS IT ALWAYS BUCKY ]

[frostythehitman]

[ well. jail here is the Ahnkeen church! So he's just sitting in the pews kind of limp and leaning forward, braced against his knees. His right hand looks scraped and a little bloody and mangled. ]

Hey Cloud.

[skyagain]

... I don't know how they got from hounding Kim Dokja to you.

[ in a tired tone, coming over to sit in the pews as well. he looks around the church, pensive. ]

[frostythehitman]

Stars. Clothing fits. Left hand.

[ he shrugs ] I'm a suspicious guy.

[skyagain]

They were desperate and didn't have an easy out.

[ ... ]

Did you ever see it? The church in the Realm.
