help girl he's in the water | open
Who: Faust and YOU???
What: help him get his feet wet. or dry.
When: 9.20?
Where: all over
Warnings: none?
i. thanks girl he got out of the water
[ faust lets the sun warm his face for a few moments, lungs aching, before he tries sitting up, spitting a few times to get the taste of salt out of his mouth. the blue sky above seems a little surreal, like a halo around everything, but maybe that's just the salt still stinging his eyes.
his hand throbs, and ah. the mirror. faust carefully uncurls his fingers from the edges of the glass, tipping it gently into his lap, before he curls them tightly again, cradling his hand to his chest. better to stop the bleeding that way, than endure the salt from ripping any fabric free. maybe there are other pieces out there. certainly, that'd be nice, but...for now, this is a small comfort. carefully he shimmies out of his robes and wraps up the piece of his mirror in the heavy, black fabric, before he finally feels like he has enough energy to stand.
he's wearing a school uniform under his robes, so shut up.
on wobbly legs, he makes his way out of the pool building and into the sunlight, squinting a little at the brightness. ]
ii. gorintoh no
[ faust, cleaned up and significantly less water-logged, finds himself up on the fourth floor, squatting in front of the gorinto lined up neatly in front of the window. his arms are wrapped tightly around his knees. defensive. or maybe protective. he misses his cloak and its bulk.
there's something searching in his gaze, looking for something (someone?) that isn't there. but of course he doesn't find what he's looking for. they're rocks. just rocks. he leaves them be and stands stiffly, stretching a little before he turns to head back down when he catches sight of you. ]
Oh. Hello. Am I in the way?
iii. cats cats cats
[ finally, with a little rest and a quick shower, faust is feeling a little more like himself and a little less like a bedraggled mermaid. he's heard that there are cats around, but he's yet to catch sight of one of them yet. not that he's looking for them, wandering around the courtyard in front of the school, glancing around furtively. he's about to give up when he bumps into you, blinking in surprise before covering up quickly. ]
Excuse me, I was just about to head back inside.
iv. roommate finder
[ he'd like somewhere to sleep if anyone doesn't mind having him?! ]
v. wildcard
[ hmu?! ]

Huh...are we still doing swimming? [ It's all murder water...and bugs. Most of the adults said stay away. They grab a handful of grass as they think, still staring at him.]
Oh...you're bleeding too. You should be careful! The last old guy who went swimming died.
no subject
Do you know what happened to him...? The last guy?
no subject
Oh...hm. Not sure. It's a big mystery. [ Sorry this cryptic seeming kid is one of your opening meetings, I swear. ] There was a guy who was burned and a guy who fell out a window, but they both ended up thrown in a pool. Weird right?
[ Bugs were also there. Scary. ]
I'm Crona. I don't think I've seen you before, but I don't keep track of everybody.
no subject
but also hey what the fuck neither of those things sound good help? what did he wake up to and can he go back to sleep? ]
Are...are you all right? It sounds like a lot's been going on. [ a beat, because he forgot to introduce himself, he realises. ] I'm Faust.
no subject
Umm...Some things are hard to deal with, but some things aren't. That's better then usual, so I think its okay. [ They wave a hand at him, trying to see if he's focusing okay. It makes sense for Crona to not know whats going on, but an older person? ]
Oh, maybe bugs in my hair was hard. That's never happened before. Have you ever had lots of bugs in your hair Mr. Faust? It's really terrible and wiggly.
no subject
Once. Awhile ago. [ like 300-some odd years ago. ] I haven't really had that happen since. You're right, they're very unpleasant, though. I hope you got them all out. And that there weren't any eggs.
no subject
If even Mr. Faust would be scared, then maybe its not weird if I was. [ They tap their knees. ] I don't think there was eggs, everything vanished when the void left. You know about the void right?
[ Literally the worst person to have explain everything, I'm sorry. ]
Baby bugs don't sound very cute...hm hm.
no subject
What was the...void? You mentioned a void.
[ that. that is the part that is concerning him. ]
no subject
Oh, yeah you must be new! The void is everything. [ Their eyes are wide, pupil pinpricks. ] If you drop any blood on the ground, you go there, where its dark and everyone is a shadow. You can only get back if you punch a mirror. Hard to deal with...
If you're new, you should go talk to Nene...or some of the other adults. Everyone is sad that Clamor died, but not so sad they won't explain things better then me.
