[Ah, a fellow lover of knick-knacks... The rest of the room is certainly quite nice, but his eye remains on those knick-knacks for a while longer than is truly necessary before he joins Day at the table.]

Sorry to hear that. It was a ton of commotion, huh...

[............wait.]

But you weren't asleep before all of that happened?

[He gestures in the vague direction of the courtyard.]

...Oh.

What the hell happened to him? Don't tell me that was also that ghost-thing.

[It was totally the ghost possessing Akira, wasn't it.]

Tch, guess that'd make sense. That ghost's nothin' but trouble...

[What a mess! Malice sighs as he leans back in the chair, shaking his head.]

I wanted to thank you for helpin' Yama out. I ain't the best at healin' even on a good day, an' today has certainly not been a good day.

[personal profile] annihilator 2024-05-10 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we don't have anythin' like that where I'm from...

[If he'd had his other prosthetic arm, he would've offered to help, but given that he was wearing the claws and his arm's still a little iffy sometimes... Probably for the best he didn't. Still, he feels annoyed that he couldn't do anything to help anyone today.]

He's recoverin' well enough, anyway. I'm sure he'll thank ya properly whenever he gets the chance.

[ Yamato is quiet as Day speaks, as he tells the story of a legend and about how his sister had gotten her powers awakened. This truly sounds like a fairytale to him, but he's aware it's very, very real.

There's more to it, though. The story just doesn't end there, does it?
]

What happened after that? Did they take her in?

[rip all y'all's floors. malice probably heard it but like, It's Fine.]

I'm doin' alright. Tired, though.

[Makes sense, given he sleeps during the day...]

Though I'll admit that today's been hard on everyone.

[...Himself included.]

An' how're you holdin' up?
annihilator: (➤ 12)

[personal profile] annihilator 2024-05-10 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? It was... not exactly the easiest thing, though I was occupied with other worries so I don't think it hit me as hard as some of y'all.

[Malice was also a little further away, so he had that going for him. He did feel it though, and the memory of Cody lingers in the back of his mind, of what could have been, of what he willingly, eagerly threw away for something more...

But that's not the point. Malice isn't in the habit of forcing people to reveal things about themselves, but he can certainly offer an invitation for it.]


You wanna talk 'bout it?
annihilator: (➤ 39)

[personal profile] annihilator 2024-05-10 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
A what-if, huh?

[Someone who can't quite bear to admit their feelings... yeah, he gets it. Malice nods at that, and while his voice remains unchanged, his expression's a bit softer than usual.]

'Course. An' what you have to say stays between the two of us.
dadsandals: (yama3)

[personal profile] dadsandals 2024-05-10 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
...That's...

[ That's kind of heartbreaking, actually. Forbidden to see someone you care about because of something beyond your control. All this talk about people missing their families is making Yamato really reflect on his own situation.

He can sense that Day is far from happy about this, even if that smile is practiced.

He's familiar with doing it himself, after all.
]

There's no way they'll let you see her, even though they're the ones who took her from you, huh. And they had to be violent about it, too.

[ That's how powerful people work, he guesses. Even if he's in no position to criticize them, given his current standing in society, but. ]

I'm sorry, Day.

[Malice listens to that, inclining his head a bit as he considers.]

...Yeah, think I can. It'd be like you never existed to 'em, right? An' it wouldn't matter who it was, 'cause they'd all forget, yeah? Losin' the people who love you an' care 'bout you...

[He trails off there, eyes flicking downwards as he considers it.]

That's somethin' that happened to you?
dadsandals: (yama5)

[personal profile] dadsandals 2024-05-12 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I get that.

[ He doesn't have much more to say, but his expression is one of understanding and sympathy. He wishes he had a family member he'd like to see again, but alas. Still, Day's pain is valid and real, and he gives him a soft smile. ]

Of course. It's fine if it's not a happy story. Not like what I told you was one, either, anyway.

[personal profile] annihilator 2024-05-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Right, right, a "what-if". Malice nods at that as if to say he won't slip up again.]

Yeah? What happened next in this scenario?
annihilator: (➤ 92)

[personal profile] annihilator 2024-05-13 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[So it's not as if you never existed... it's as if someone else did the things you did, said the things you said, and helped the people you helped. The last part really hits hard, and in this totally hypothetical situation, Malice can see where someone would be deeply upset by having their impact, their presence, their being completely erased.]

That sounds... painful. Painful beyond words, really. Not only have they all forgotten, but every part of you's neatly covered up by someone or somethin' else.

[He glances up towards the ceiling, folding his good arm over his bad one.]

An' I'm guessin' there's no way to just... reverse it or undo it? In this hypothetical situation.
