Ritual of Destruction

[hearnoplague]

[ So, Kallamar was going to just burn the conques Lobelia left behind in the Seagull cabana, but apparently that's a bad idea.

So instead, he just brought them all in a drawstring backpack and invited people to do as they wished with them. Happy destroying! ]

(OOC Note: The shells will release whatever sound was stored in them upon destruction. Have fun with that. )

cont cw death, murder and mourning, wooo

[ Ah... It makes Lacus smile softly, imagining a simpler time when Billy had someone he could love like that, easily. ]

Whenever my father had a day off, he used to take forever at breakfast. I'd go out to take a morning walk and come back to the smell of his third cup of coffee and the tap of his fingers as he advanced through the paper. I live in our house again now, and every Saturday when I come back in from the garden, it feels as though he's sitting there.

[ But he's not, because he's ended his life with a dozen bullets in his body and it was Lacus' fault. ]

But there's also moments like... When I'm with Kira and my skirt spins a certain way, or my laugh reaches a certain pitch, and for a moment he looks at me and it's as if she's with him instead and I can never tell if that's a happy feeling or not...

[ Lacus wishes she had gotten to know her better, but life wasn't so kind. ]

Mourning is such a simple feeling, but it manifests in so many ways.

cont cw death, murder and mourning, we are so normal

[Oh, so that's what Lacus has dealt with. Billy can't relate to missing a father, but he knows that it's the sort of thing that weighs on people who have good relationships with their father from the way M.M. would talk about his family.]

He must see somethin' important in ya if that's the case. Hughie will get this weedy look in his eye sometimes when he's tellin' me to keep a job clean, and...he kinda looks like someone he ain't for a tick.

[Someone he'd failed like he had Becca, like he might have failed Vergilius.]

Reminders are all we get, eh?
