The Velvet Key

[Paranoia may be getting other people to stick close to home, but for Gaignun it seems to be driving him out in the open. So the video opens up to the view from the roof of the hotel. It's his voice that people hear however.]

Christmas. Just after the longest day of the year, it signals the slow return of the light of day. I think that's what we need right now.

So Merry Christmas, and look forward to the return of the light.

[He lowers the phone so that he can turn it off, but it catches the image of a bottle of red wine, white wine, and a dark bottle of beer before the video clicks off.]

He knows this is coming. Seeing other peoples memories pop up on the network has just cemented the fact that it was going to happen whether he wanted it to or not.  That does not, however, mean he was prepared for his turn to come up.

( At the end - Warning Xenosaga level angst and suicide )

Tight lipped, Gaignun exhaled sharply and shut the connection off.]

[Early one evening, if one happens to walk through the hotel lobby, they may notice something that hadn't been there when they had left through those doors.

A pool table.

Thanks to that odd offer of the powers that be to give them back something from home, Gaignun (somewhat jokingly) asked for the pool table from his office, and got it much to his surprise. It's a well loved pool table, well made with a few nicks and scratches in the wood work that speaks to the fact that it actually got used.

So there it sits, in the side of the hotel lobby, fully decked out with a sign posted saying "Free to play, just take good care of it."

It's owner, a face familiar to mosmt is right now just happily noodling around on it, making random shots. Feel free to join him, he's always up for a game.]


[[ooc: So the hotel now has a pool table, which is free for anyone to use. It's now a fixture there until he finds somewhere else to put it so feel free to appropriate it for other threads and what not.]]

[[ooc: This post spans Thursday until Saturday morning so let me know what day you're responding to]]
 

( Thursday - Voice - Locked to Saori, Minato, Ryu, and Orihime )

 
[Forward dated Saturday around 2 am after tvklogs.dreamwidth.org/33227.html#comments : warning, this log contains gore,suicide/self destruction and other possible triggers]

[Action for the hotel lobby, open for anyone]

[The door to the hotel lobby swings open and Gaignun walks in. However he isn't as neat and presentable as he usually is. He's covered from head to toe with drying blood, and if you look closely there is a bloody kiss mark on his cheek. He also looks absolutely exhausted and really could use a shower.

He will however stop and talk if anyone manages to get his attention.]

[[ooc: Also, Gaignun has no idea of Albedo's other...activities those three nights, so feel free to bring them up]]

 

[TEXT forward dated to Saturday morning around 9 am]

I'm afraid that Jr and MOMO have left the island, and that Albedo has made himself somewhat unavailable. If they have left behind responsibilities that can not be shifted to someone else or can not wait, please contact me and I will be happy to render any help needed.

Tomorrow.
