And you can't pull me down

[ There's a groundhog anxiously pacing around the halls when suddenly everyone appears in the lobby and she's rushing up after all the initial reactions. ]

Wh... What happened?!

[ And where the FUCK is Maya UHHHHH ]

[Farrah’s not nearly responsible enough to be trusted with making tea—- so when she finds Angus sitting at the cafeteria, looking like that, she does the next best thing.

She pours him a mug of tap water in the kitchen. And sets it down beside him.

Hey, she tried, okay?]

[Someone here has forgotten to rehydrate all day, so Farrah's work is greatly appreciated. As Angus takes a sip, he gestures at the unopened envelopes. One of them is for you, Farrah.]

[Farrah’s quiet, in a way that probably says something about character growth, and instead of sitting on top of the table like she normally does, she takes a seat on one of the little cafeteria-stools attached to the table. It makes it easier for her to lean over just so, and tilt her head against Angus’ arm. Given the situation, it’s probably more appropriate to let him lean on her a little—- but with his size, that’s just. Not going to happen.

She finds the envelope with her name, and opens it, silently, and begins to read.

It doesn’t take long for her heart to crumble.

All she’d wanted, during the final year of her life, was to be a good sister. To get a grip on what a family really felt like. And here, she’d learnt it. Only to have it ripped away. She closes her eyes, and just sits there with Angus.]

[At least Farrah is still here. At least she can tease him, talk to him about strange religious practices, talk to him about what she got up to in school, what Riley had done. At least she didn't lose another father. At least Angus isn't completely alone.

The two have lost so many this week. They lost the brightest of their group, and their tears won't bring them back.

Regardless, Angus continues to read his letter over and over again, imagining Elle's voice speaking those words, sitting next to him, hugging him, her perfume on his shoulders. He lets Farrah lean against him instead. He supports her. Her weight is enough comfort.]

[She stays there a while and--- hey, so Angus. Not to ruin this touching moment, but because it's Farrah...

Is the letter close enough for her to read?]

[She certainly can, and he's not making an effort to read his letter]
brokeforgood: (farrah41)

[personal profile] brokeforgood 2021-07-11 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-- Hey, Angus?

I'm pretty sure that's a yes to that proposal. [SHE HAS NO TACT, SORRY.]

[His mouth tightens. It's an attempt at a smile, halted by the current despair he's trying to crawl out of.]

I can't believe she had the same idea I had. [It's the only part of the letter that makes things better.] Unfortunately, she beat me to it.

I know typically she'd be the one to decide this, but--- [She gently pinches his arm]

Dibs on being a bridesmaid. Once we bring her back. You know. Like--- The Wizard, or Riley, or whoever the hell brought me back.

[That pinch is like a massage. Angus nods. A wedding. A grand wedding in the citadel of Dundee, surrounded by Elle's family and friends, royalty, and hopefully a few unicorns. Of course he would invite his friends from the opera house as well.]

Of course you will. I doubt you'd let us be if you weren't on the altar with us. [Though if Farrah ships them, he needs their other shipper.] Lumpy Space Princess would be upset if we didn't ask her.

Well, yeah, of course. It's gonna be a lot of work, to look good enough to stand up there, beside LSP and Elle, but-- I'm willing to put in the effort. Plus, like, you're an actual prince, aren't you? I'm not missing that wedding.

It would be a bit of good news in Fife for once. After Zargothrax ravaged our lands, there is little to look forward to except for the rebuilding.

[How much has been done? Has he been taken away from an important meeting?]

And you'd meet my friends there as well. We'd have a literal demigod blessing our union. [Sigh...imagine the Hootsman providing his mighty barbarian speech in front of everyone...Elle becoming one of the team members...]

Oh, man. It'd piss Annleigh off so much if I met a demigod.

I'm in.

He doesn't eat the flesh of a dead man, that's for sure. [All his homies hate necromancers.]
