[after seeing this, have a very worried Vriska rolling over in the bed and poking Hanna in the side]

Are you awake?

[EVERYONE IN THEIR HOUSE IS AN ONLY CHILD; SHE FEELS IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS, HANNA]

[Hanna rolls over, having taken to sleeping at odd times, if not all times of the day now that he's down in the basement. He has a light, courtesy of Axel, but its kind of hard on the eyes for reading so he only reads for a little bit before going about napping again or folding cranes.]

Mmm? What's up?

[she silently passes him the PCD, open to that conversation]

[Blearily Hanna stares at it before realizing that he's going to need his glasses, putting them on the squint at the screen before the lighted screen becomes more clear to him.]

Oh...[Well, he knew that was one of them, having heard the story of Moses at least once in his life.] I think it should be fine. Besides, why would they want to kill everyone off all at once?

Not everyone! Just the people who were born first. Where the hell are we going to find a lamb here?

Vriska, I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, I think there was something about finding a pure white lamb and stuff, and where the hell would you find one of those if it just rained blood for two days straight? [He sets the PCD down, patting the spot directly next to him.]

It'll be okay, don't freak out about it.

Shit. He didn't say anything about that. We are so fucked.

If they're going through these plague things, they're going to get to that one eventually! And it's not like they'd skip over it just because it'd suck too much. There's that new Animus in charge that all the other Animus say is crazy and fucked up, remember? And if the Animus are calling you fucked up, you really have to be. Events like this are probably just the beginning.

I know you come back from death here, but death prices suck. I don't really advertise this, but I am a little apprehensive about dying! And dying would suck for you, and me dying would suck for you, and Axel and the zombie and Riku and everyone else dying would suck for you, and you dying would be unbelievably sucky, and they'd give you a price like your magic or some memories or hey, maybe even both! They could totally do that. I won't put it past them.

[she's freaking out, yes]

[Woah. Well. Guess it was his turn to step up to bat.]

Hey, Hey! Cool your jets. Worrying about it won't solve anything, and the last time a bunch of people died during an event, there weren't any death prices besides a few choice cases. And the plague has more than seven days in it. I really doubt he's going to extend it a few days, usually it lasts in a week, or two weeks. Not longer.

If it comes to that, we die, but there isn't anything we can do about it Vriska. Alright? You have to calm down, or this isn't going to make you feel any better. It'll just get to you all week.

But this isn't like last time! This is one of our first events with the new guy in charge, and-- I don't know! I don't get scared easily, but this is seriously scaring me. So now we're scared together. Congratulations, Animus!

Hey, come here. We'll be okay, Vriska. [And he'll be sitting up and opening his arms, waiting for her to come into his embrace.]

[she hits him hard, pressing her face to his shoulder much in the way that he'd done to her just a few days ago]

I have to do something. I just found out they sent my boyfriend back home to die, and like hell I'm going to let them kill you too.

[Oh sweetie...His arms go around her tightly, squeezing before he lays back down and just holds her tight, hand stroking through her hair. He always felt bad, when Vriska got like this, not just because she was upset, but he felt like he never knew what to say at a time like this.]

I'm going to be fine, Vriska. A-and I'm sorry about Equius. Is there anything I can do for you?

[she sniffs a little]

I don't know. I mean, I'm a troll; I can deal. But too much stuff has sucked lately.

[she curls up against him, head still buried in his chest]

You said I helped you just by being here, and you do that for me too.

Just because you're something doesn't mean it doesn't bother you, Vriska. [He holds her a little more tightly.]

No matter who you are, grief can find you anywhere. It's a big huge dick, like that. But its okay, because that's normal.

It's just that trolls are more used to this stuff. Or should be, anyway. But it just keeps happening and happening and fucking happening--

[she cuts herself off, snaking a hand up between Hanna's chest and her face to swipe at her eyes]

It's not grief. I'm just angry and frustrated as hell about everything, and scared as hell that I'm going to lose you.

I really need to go look for a lamb.

Edited 2012-08-17 03:49 (UTC)

[Oh sweetie...] When things come at you like that it gets harder every time. Its okay to feel like this. [He'll just be kissing her forehead and holding her close.]

Just, sit here, okay? I don't think you should be going around outside, and you won't lose me. Alright? I'll be right here. Besides, its not safe to go out. All that blood is going to attract animals. Big animals. Okay? I don't want to lose you if something or somethings come after you.

[SO TORN RN; she badly wants to run out and play the big hero by finding a lamb, but she also badly wants to stay with Hanna-- especially since that's what he wants, too]

[finally, she decides to just take his advice-- for now, at least-- and stick around in the basement; she can always watch the network to see if anyone mentions finding lambs or lamb blood]

... Okay. I'll try.

[in response to the kiss she forces herself smile a little, finally lifting her head up from Hanna's chest to press her cheek to his, not really caring that he'd feel the wetness on her face and realize that a tear or two had leaked out]

[stupid Animus for doing events like this and for taking people, and stupid Equius and Morgana and Jo and everyone else for letting themselves be taken]

Are you going to take care of me?

[she tries to keep her voice lighthearted and asks a question she knows he'll like, because Hanna obviously really likes taking care of people, and of her-- and while Vriska is of the opinion that she doesn't need to be taken care of, she has to admit that at least having the option is nice]

[Hanna's arms come around her easily, dragging her into his lap, feeling the press of her cheek against his. He situates her easily enough as he lays back, nodding at her question.]

Of course I'm going to take care of you...we can get a few candles going down here, and maybe I can ready you slugs. And everything will be hunky-dory, huh?

[He offers her a big smile, giving her a squeeze before his hand slides up and down her back, comfortingly.] You can't worry about things you don't know the outcomes too alright? It is just bad news. Take things as they come, it'll make everything easier...and life won't be full of what ifs. Okay?

I wish it were that easy.

[she rests against his chest, giving a sigh; her eyes close in relaxation as he starts rubbing her back]

But I'll try. I'll look for more information on the PCD instead of going outside right away. Okay?

I know, Vriska. Advice isn't always easily followed, I mean, I don't follow my own advice a lot of the time because its too hard. But...its a nice thought.

[He continues to rub her back and hold her close, pressing a kiss to her forehead again.]

If you go outside you have to be really careful. I'll go with you if you want.

I think it's still pretty bloody out there. And anyway, I don't want you to get hurt.

The blood isn't exactly what bothered me, Vriska. I can handle blood.

I know, but it still triggered memories. And the danger's still a thing. You might take care of me, but I'm still going to take care of you!

... Bluh. I'll tell you before I go anywhere and we can talk more about it if it comes up. Deal?

Waking up to it running down my wall, yeah. [Puddles of gross, congealed blood outside wouldn't do that.]

...If you go, take some one with you at least? I bet Axel would go if you won't let me.

But then you'd be alone down here.

Maybe all three of us can go.

[action; day 3 of the plagues]
