w1, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[she is just covered in cats

that's it that's the starter, she's in the barn petting every single cat]

[quirkwall]

[ HELP ME. both hawke and i wish we could capture this moment forever ]

Do you need a hand over there? Or have you found bliss in our little spot of hell?

[ablazement]

I think I'll just die here, actually, this is good.

[from where she's muffled because her face is in a cat.]

[quirkwall]

I'll be sure to memorialize you fondly. "Karlach, gone too soon lost in the abyss of the purring void"

[ she makes herself comfortable just to watch this happen. ]

I've a friend who would have moved right in had he seen the sheer number of them here. [ that's a quiet huff and a murmuer ] Perhaps that should have been an option. Bury Anders in cats so he'd be distracted.

w1, FRIDAY

[ablazement]

[HEY EVERYTHING SUCKS FOREVER

you can find karlach by the horrible nihilism building, staring up at the sky, flat out on her back! hooray!]

[quirkwall]

[ wow, mood!

hawke looks at her for a long moment before flopping down beside her. look at that sky. how dare it be nice and sunny right now. ]

[ablazement]

[she doesn't say anything, just lays the sprawled out. for the first time this week she's not even bothering to pretend to be cheery or personable. she can't muster it.]

[quirkwall]

[ you'd think being the type of ye olde fantasy who's long made her peace with losing people along the way, this would be easier. but there's certainly a level of yes, people die but yes, people die but you couldn't do an andraste blasted thing about it is another level of awful. terrible. she hates it ]

Well, this bloody well sucks, doesn't it.

w2, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[VOIDS US

a memory plays hooray we can decide where we are later]

[quirkwall]

[ floats amongst the void

by now hawke's getting used to these little flashes of insight into the others lives, a personal peek just for her own nosy curiosity. she's not really sure what the rhyme or rhythm to quite legitimately any of this is but this one.... it makes her smile. softly, fondly. ]

Your parents sound like wonderful people.

[ablazement]

[a big deep breath.]

Yeah. Gods, yeah, they were. They were so good, I loved them more than anything.

[quirkwall]

[ wow same hat ]

It doesn't ever get easier, does it? Missing them.

w3, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[there's distant barking coming from the woods... do you investigate...

imagine you say no and it's just the end of the thread]

[quirkwall]

[ turns around and goes home (no)

ser snuffles borks right back and grrrs ever so helpfully. thus, to the tune of timmy fell down the well: ]

What's that boy? Is someone in trouble?

w3, FRIDAY

[ablazement]

[hellooooo karlach is sprawled somewhere just staring at the ceiling. it's too hot for a real starter]

[quirkwall]

[ you're the most valid one here. hawke probably still has alcohol from the party sequestered away so she will come with an extra bottle to plop next to her before laying down as well. ]

We were just doing this last night.

[ablazement]

Not surprised. Last night sucked, too.

[quirkwall]

I'm in the mind of being rightfully annoyed at whoever angered the tree.

w4, MONDAY

[ablazement]

[from where she's looking into the tree that leads to the new locations]

Hey! You going exploring? I'll come with.

[quirkwall]

[ hey ho. hawke gives her a welcoming smile ]

I've nothing better to do than stew in misery. [ she gestures to the radio tower in the distance though ] I'm in the mind of going straight up to observe, however.

[ablazement]

Yeah, it's the misery I'm trying to prevent.

[tail wag]

Maybe we'll find something interesting in there.

[quirkwall]

Can't be miserable if you're too busy climbing the oddest tower you've ever seen.

[ cheerfully! especially if you're too busy cursing your existence for questionable choices ]

If anything, I'm hoping the view will at least be worth it.

w6, WEDNESDAY

[ablazement]

[after everything has calmed down, she's still here! she's sitting somewhere in the vineyard, staring up at the sky. slightly transparent, and if you touch her she's cold and your hand goes through, but. better than nothing, right?]

[quirkwall]

[ everything happens so much especially on a Wednesday. ]

Hey.

[ hawke's just come this way for more wine given the bottle in her hand, but she lifts it in greeting like Karlach is here and in person anyway ]

You mind some company?

[ablazement]

Nah, of course not.

[happily!! she can't drink, but she makes room instinctively.]

Hey, Hawke.
