Damage assessment

[rainbowarch]

Who: Cielo and the residents of the bubble
Where: The plaza, by the coral
When: Afternoon
Style: I shall match you
Status: Open

Those who choose to return to the city may see Cielo in either his human or demon form in just about every location in the bubble. From the street to the top of Vatheon's tallest (still standing) buildings, he's there surveying the landscape.

The first thing he did once the bubble was declared safe to return to was, naturally, to head straight for the Embryon Base and check to see if it was still habitable. Satisfied in its safety, he looked to the city itself. Even though it was the same Vatheon he had been living in for over a year, it seemed like a different place with all the damage.

It reminded him a little bit of the Junkyard. And thinking about the Junkyard brings up certain memories for him. Eventually, he finds himself flying by the Lamufao in demon form, and remembering that he hasn't touched it recently, gracefully descends down to the ground and leans forward, touching his head to the coral while letting out a low growl of frustration and discontent.

He should start with the big one: "Gale and Sera are gone." Having to endure the loss of your best bro and his creator, whom he had sworn to protect and make happy, back to back was rough. Even rougher was the world they were most likely headed back to, and what had happened in that world.

Johnny winced. He hadn't know Sera all that well, (or even Gale really, but at least they''d talked often enough) but losing people was rough, even if they were your friends from home. And, knowing what the world was like that those two had to look forward to just made it worse. "I'm sorry. I know it doesn't help, but I hope they'll be brought back here soon."

"I'll be fine." Cielo manages a smile to give to Johnny. "It's not the first time I've lost somebody, ja?" And not the first time he's lost those two either. He's not sure whether it's easier here or not, considering the circumstances waiting back in that world for them.

"Yeah..." That didn't mean it didn't hurt, he knew that much. He stood, hands going straight for his hips because this is a serious matter now. "You should do something fun. Sulking isn't going to get them back and dwelling on how much it hurts will only make it hurt more, so you need a distraction."

"I know."

To continue living was what he needed to do. It was what he did back in his world before it was his time to go.

"I just needed a moment, ja?"

He is human, after all.
