[ 2-7 ] [ audio / commentlog ]

[The comm clicks on to a heavy breath. There's a pause before Vie speaks, and when she does her voice is lacking it's usual enthusiasm. Instead Vie's tone is quiet but firm, an attempt at hiding any emotion but failing more than she would like to admit.]

Marco.

[Another pause. This is harder than she thought.]

You have my loyalty. I will aid you in whatever way I can, just as I did him.

[And that's all you get. She's forced calm for long enough for today. Vie shuts off the comm and lets it drop to the ground beside her.

Anyone passing along Deck 12 might notice a young woman sitting against the door of room 1212. She's hugging her knees to her chest and staring blankly ahead. Not wanting to believe that she's lost her closest friend once again, Vie is waiting. Silently she prays to every god she's ever believed in to bring him back, or at very least protect Godric and everyone else that's vanished without a trace where ever they are now.

Vie refuses to think any of those lost to be dead.]

(ooc: She won't be much for conversation right now. Vie's not taking the loss of Godric very well. This is the third time that she's let someone in only to lose them a short time after. She's got a pretty short fuse and is severely lacking patience. If she snaps, it's nothing personal. Vie's a bit of an emotional wreck right now. In time she'll be back to normal. For now? approach at your own risk. :<)

Oh...

That other man said that too. Will he be back soon...?

[If she bites her tongue any harder, she's going to bite it off. It's a good think Goten isn't right in front of her.]

I don't know. I hope so.

We should throw him a surprise party when he comes back! I'll look for presents for him so he can have stuff to open.

What d'you think he wants?

[If it were anyone else, Vie might of snapped by now.]

Keep in mind that we don't know if he'll be back. But if he does return, I bet Godric will want to see that drawing you mentioned.

Why wouldn't he be back? He'll still visit us even if he went home, right?

[AKJSDFASLJFDKASJFAL. Silence in the name of biting her lip.]

I don't... If he can, he will.

[Goten's not a bright kid, it's true. But if there's one thing he understands, it's that sometimes people die and don't come back. Between this conversation and his talk with Marco, Goten's pretty suspicious.]

...Miss Vie, did Mr. Godric die?

[Super sadface is go.]

I think... most people here will say yes. I don't think he's dead, just... elsewhere.

You mean like Other World?

[...Whoa that's a familiar term.]

Yes... Wait. Goten, you know of the Other World?

Uh huh. That's where dead people go. And then they get judged and if they're good they go to heaven and if they're bad they go to hell.

[Ah. Different.]

Hmm, it's possible. I was thinking more of how we're all from different worlds. Maybe he's just in another world? I don't think they're dead.

Oh.

[Some silence.]

Miss Vie?

...Yes, Goten?

Can I hug you?

[Hello, sudden tear running down her cheek.]

Of course. Where are you?

In my room.

What deck? What number?

[HOW DOES SHE NOT KNOW THIS!?]

[Probably because Goten doesn't even know.]

...hold on, I'll go look.

[Luckily someone suggested he write it down, so he just has to find out where he crammed that piece of paper.]

Umm, six-three-six-oh. ...that's my room, I think. I'm on floor seven.

I'll be there shortly.

[She's on her way. Vie is pretty quick usually and this time she's a woman on a mission. Congratulations on being one of the only people capable of moving her away from that door, Goten.

Sure she's gonna head straight back to Godric's door once she knows Goten is okay, but at least she's moving.]

[Goten would be more than willing to go sit with her once he finds out that's what she's doing.

He doesn't wait for her to arrive, instead just clutching his picture and opening the door to peer out the hallway, looking back and forth since he's not sure from which direction she'll be coming.]

[The stairwell door bursts open and Vie steps into the hall. She starts down the hallway, footsteps quick but still fairly quiet. Spying Goten, Vie slows her pace.]

Goten.

[Much as she wants to, Vie is determined not to cry in front of him. This time it's her turn to be the strong one.]

[Goten makes a sound of surprise, but he's starting to get used to how Vie's ki feels -though it's still so small that it's hard to pinpoint- and had noticed her approach a deck ago.

He checks to make sure he has his keycard; having locked himself out of his room a few times in his excitement has started to get Goten in the habit of making sure he's carrying it. The picture is folded up and tucked into his shirt and then he heads over to Vie and-

Hugs her legs. He's fairly small for a seven-year-old, really only about as tall as a five-year-old, so he only barely reaches Vie's hip at the top of his head. He pats her leg though, and quietly murmurs,]

There there. It's okay.

[She doesn't really know how to react to that. Vie stands, letting him hug her legs and stares down at him. Her hands fall to brush through his hair. Though she barely knows Goten, Vie is well aware that she loves this child like family.

She opens her mouth to speak, to say something, but the words fail. Never in her life has Vie been consoled by a child. Biting her lip, she gives talking another shot. Her voice is soft, but audible.]

I know... I've still got you.

[And Kevas and Mikey and Alice and everyone else she's befriended since arriving on the boat. Her eyes are wet before she realizes. So much for not crying.]

Ummm...here. [Goten doesn't like the tears -mostly because he's got no idea how to deal with them when they aren't his own, and he fishes the drawing out of his shirt to hand to her.

It's a childish portrait of Godric with his fangs and a classic Dracula cape on.] You can keep this until he gets back, okay?
